Breaking the Third Realm with a Flick of the Finger

The Ascension Academy's No. 1 Martial Arts Arena, paved with copper bricks, remains undamaged despite countless trampling and wear, shimmering with golden light.

An Youxing was tall and slender, dressed in a soft, moon-white robe, with a warm jade pendant hanging from his waist. His eyes were dark and deep, and he exuded confidence and composure.

Qin Ming initially declined, but ultimately couldn't refuse their kind invitation.

He reflected that he shouldn't have been aloof; it was such a small favor, why keep people at arm's length?

"Come on!" An Youxing was identified as Immortal Seed early on, and now he has even reached the Early-Third Realm, which can be described as a young man achieving great success.

The scene was filled with Immortal Seed and God Seed; there were no ordinary people among them. Jiang Ran, Pei Shuyan, and the others all looked over.

Qin Ming smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute, much more enthusiastic than before, after all, the other party had mentioned the Vermilion Bird Evil.

"Can I join the queue?" Xiang Yiwu asked eagerly.

"Oh, can I cut in line?" Wu Yaozu asked.

An Youxing's gaze turned slightly cold. These people on New Life Path were truly blindly confident, thinking they could fleece people here?

Who exactly is being foolish, really treating his Near-Immortal Seed at the Third Realm as nothing more than a decoration?

"Please!" An Youxing ignored the other two and gestured to Qin Ming.

He manifested a radiant light, clearly possessing Pure Yang attributes, like the evening glow mixed with celestial gold, dazzling and sacred, making the nearby Fire Spring appear dim and lackluster.

Qin Ming stood close to him, extended his right hand, bent his middle finger and thumb together, and spread the other three fingers naturally, aiming at his forehead.

Instantly, An Youxing's face darkened. Was she trying to flick his head? Had she gone mad?

"Pay attention, this is my ultimate technique Finger Flicking Thunder!" Qin Ming said solemnly, aiming at the brilliant Consciousness Spirit Light emanating from his forehead.

He did not reveal the Yin Yang Diagram, but only used a ray of Extreme Yang Heavenly Light, which was part of the Yang Fish.

Instantly, white light flowed at his fingertips, then intensified, like a lightning bolt encircling him, extremely dazzling.

Qin Ming earnestly reminded him, "This is the result of my practice of the Thunderfire Extraordinary Art over the past month. In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Light bursts forth like a thunderclap. You must be careful."

A group of Near Immortal Seed were all staring at his fingertips. Was this the Heavenly Light cultivated through the Silk Book Method?

Cui Chonghe observed the most carefully.

Pei Shuyan was born in Beyond the Mundane, with a family tradition of learning. He had some knowledge of people in history who had mastered the Silk Book Method. At this moment, his eyes shone with a divine light.

Jiang Ran resembled a fairy orchid rooted on a secluded cliff, her green robes fluttering. Mysterious patterns intertwined between her brows as she attempted to decipher the divine Heavenly Light of the heavens.

Qin Ming flicked his finger, and sure enough, a blinding bolt of lightning flew out, entered Pure Yang Consciousness, and instantly transformed into a raging fire.

An Youxing originally very confident, after all, he was in the Third Realm, but now he felt his Mental Field shaking violently, as if it was about to be pierced and distorted.

In an instant, he Divine Intent pain, as if he had been struck by a red-hot hammer.

This gave him a bad feeling. Was he about to be caught off guard and suffer a setback? His opponent was a Major Realm lower than him!

Qin Ming flicked his finger a second time, and a deafening thunderclap erupted. A blazing white light shot out, colliding with An Youxing's Consciousness Spirit Light and igniting the area.

An Youxing felt that his entire Mental Field was shaken and about to be burned through. This time, the pain intensified so much that he almost groaned out loud.

However, having already made those promises, it would be incredibly embarrassing for him to be defeated by New Life Evolver in the Second Realm.

Qin Ming said, "I can unleash five such concentrated Thunderfire Heavenly Light in a short time. If you really can't, just shout it out beforehand."

An Youxing breathed a sigh of relief. Only five steps. He gritted his teeth and persevered.

When Qin Ming flicked his finger for the third time, a thunderous boom resounded, and the Heavenly Light became even more intense and terrifying.

An Youxing was in a daze; that spark of Consciousness Spirit Light had been burned through!

This was truly... unbearable, the pain was too much. He could hardly believe that the Heavenly Light of New Life Evolver to the Second Realm was so abnormal? It could actually injure him!

But after all three blows, he decided to grit his teeth and bear it.

Moreover, he was prepared, immediately using a ball of Pure Yang Spirit Light that his teacher had helped him refine, placing it in front to prepare for the fourth attack.

Sure enough, he withstood the next blow.

Then, Qin Ming flicked his finger three times in succession, far exceeding five strikes, all of which hit his spiritual light, causing his consciousness to roar and buzz.

At that moment, An Youxing felt like he had been flicked on the head!

At this stage, he has not yet reached the point where Pure Yang Consciousness pervades his entire body; most of his spiritual light remains dormant within his head.

Being flicked on the head like that, and then resonating with the body, really feels like being hit on the head.

"Isn't it supposed to be five strikes?" He couldn't help but want to Curse, but how could someone in the Third Realm complain? He tried to grit his teeth and persevere.

However, the boy in front of him was quite a scoundrel, striking him five times and then five more times, until his Consciousness Spirit Light was about to explode, and he was quickly ignited.

Qin Ming did not go too far and did not attempt to break through the Pure Yang Consciousness that his teacher had helped him refine.

That was enough; the Heavenly Light surged, bypassing the obstructing area and fiercely burning the spiritual light elsewhere.

An Youxing shouted, realizing he couldn't hold on any longer. If he continued to act stubbornly for the sake of saving face, that Consciousness Spirit Light would be completely burned out, resulting in a devastating loss.

He staggered backward, the light returning to his body.

At that moment, his Mental Field and physical body resonated, and his head felt like it had been kicked by a donkey.

He had the illusion that his forehead was fractured and that there was a large, swollen bump on his head.

Even the resonance between mind and body caused his eyes to redden as a result of his body's instinctive reaction.

"Brother, are you alright?" Qin Ming asked with concern.

An Youxing hated his instincts, but thankfully, he managed to control them at the last moment. His Consciousness Spirit Light cleared, and he didn't shed a tear.

He felt extremely ashamed and realized he shouldn't have taken on this "dirty job"!

He glanced at Pei Shuyan and Cui Chonghe with a barely perceptible look of "resentment".

"Those dozen or so snaps on the head, it felt so good!" Xiang Yiwu exclaimed.

Wu Yaozu agreed, saying, "The key is that he let himself be beaten, so that should be considered a blow to his morale, right? Ming Ge can also get the Vermilion Bird Evil while he's beating people up."

An Youxing had silently endured more than a dozen "Finger Flicking Thunder" in a row, but now, hearing these words almost broke his defenses.

Then he noticed that even the Immortal Path Disciple were looking at him strangely.

Sure enough, everyone thought he had been flicked on the head a dozen times!

In that instant, An Youxing's head was buzzing, and he almost vomited blood. He had lost in a very undignified way.

He believed that in actual combat, he wouldn't need to worry about these attacks, as they wouldn't hit him. However, he was in such an embarrassing situation.

"Brother, where is the Otherworldly Exotic Matter?" Qin Ming didn't stand on ceremony and directly demanded the spoils of war.

"This..." An Youxing speechless; he had never imagined he would lose.

The Vermilion Bird Evil was captured by his teacher, but was not given to him. He was only instructed to use it to hone his Pure Yang Consciousness in preparation for exchanging ideas and sparring with the delegation from a distant, mysterious country.

"You're not going to renege on your debt, are you?" Little Wu asked.

"A person cannot stand without integrity!" Xiang Yiwu also spoke up.

An Youxing's face turned bright red; this was truly out of control.

"After this special period, I will give you the Vermilion Bird Evil!" he said through gritted teeth. With so many people watching, there was no way to back out.

Qin Ming gave him a cold look. Did the Immortal Path Disciple always just talk big? They couldn't make their own decisions.

"Indeed, the Vermilion Bird Evil is very important to him at this stage, and he can't use it for the time being," Pei Shuyan said. He was in his early twenties, gentle and refined, with an outstanding temperament.

He stepped forward to defuse the situation, saying, "How about this, I'll compensate you with a Cultivation Method."

An Youxing also said, "Afterwards, I will definitely give you the Vermilion Bird Evil!"

"What Cultivation Method do you have?" Qin Ming would not be polite. This was because the Immortal Path had broken its promise first, and he deserved compensation.

"Junior Sister Jiang, you usually study the methods of the New Life Path, so you must have collected some secret manuals, right? I'd like to buy them from you." Pei Shuyan looked at the Green-Clad Woman Jiang Ran.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming was immediately tempted and said, "The Immortal Combat Scripture, the Golden Crow Illuminates Night Scripture, or the Waxing and Waning Scripture —any one will do!"

Everyone was speechless. The young man from the New Life Path really dared to speak up; even the worst of these were at least at the Secret Manual level!

"I can't afford it, and I can't find it. All I can offer in return is a copy of a Extraordinary Art." Pei Shuyan shook his head, his handsome features radiating a serene smile.

"I don't have that many scriptures in my knowledge." Jiang Ran shook her head slightly, her voice quite gentle and pleasant.

Qin Ming was very pragmatic and ultimately chose the <Dragon Tiger Dao Scripture>, which suited the path he was currently on.

He looked at Pei Shuyan. This man was no ordinary person; he was older than them and his cultivation was unfathomable.

The other person was also looking at him, but there was a distance in their smile; they didn't really want to get closer to him.

"Hmm?" Qin Ming was somewhat suspicious. Could this be the Immortal Seed from the Pure Land who had pressured Qing Yue, wanting to become her dao companion?

The Pei Family is renowned in the Beyond the Mundane Pure Land, controlling an immortal lineage.

"The Silk Book Method is truly remarkable. It can injure someone in the Early-Third Realm even at the Second Realm. It's incredible!" Pei Shuyan exclaimed.

He didn't try to hide it, glancing at Cui Chonghe.

Qin Ming frowned. Although people had speculated about it in the past, it had never been revealed. Now, the Cui Household had made it public?

Finally, the group left.

Li Qingyue was the last to leave. She told Qin Ming that everyone on the Immortal Path knew he was practicing Silk Book Method, which was probably due to the Cui Household leaking the information.

Whether he's actually practicing or not, the fact that this has spread is already a fact.

Although Immortal Path was quite interested in the Silk Book Method, some of the older folks believed that no matter how Qin Ming embarked on his journey, he would ultimately be unable to escape the fate of exploding.

Historically, even the pioneers of Silk Book Method could not escape this fate.

Although the training camp is not over yet, the Auspicious Beast Blood has been distributed.

Qin Ming smiled brightly. Someone was helping him hone his Extraordinary Art, and he could even get the Auspicious Beast Blood. This job was quite good.

That day, he asked Xiang Yiwu for help in sending the Auspicious Beast Blood to Ning Siqi.

He doesn't want to get too close to his old friends for the time being, to avoid getting into trouble.

However, Ning Siqi refused.

"He said he had other fortuitous opportunity and didn't need these for the time being, but he was very happy," Xiang Yiwu told us.

Qin Ming did not send any more, saving them for later to personally deliver to Ning Siqi.

Besides Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan, he also gave gifts to Meng Xinghai and Li Qingyun.

Of course, all of these are given out in small amounts; a complete dose of Auspicious Beast Blood is not required for them to be effective.

During this time, he asked Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan to send a message to the Cui Household inquiring about his grandfather's whereabouts, but they responded in the same way as before.

Yu Gensheng said, "They said that after your grandfather entrusted you to them, he went on a long journey."

Qin Ming didn't believe it; this explanation was too perfunctory.

"Grandpa, where are you? I've prepared a longevity potion from Auspicious Beast Blood for you."

In fact, Qin Ming knew that his grandfather was so old that he might have already passed away.

Thinking about these things, he felt deeply saddened.

A few days later, the training camp ended.

The Immortal Path Disciple rested and prepared to receive the delegation from a distant, mysterious kingdom.

Subsequently, the confirmed news spread throughout Kunlun City.

The Elf Race, born from the afterglow of the Solar Yang, emerge from the depths of the Night Mist World and are about to visit the Great Yu Dynasty.

It is said that these humanoid creatures are very powerful.

The people of the Immortal Path have already set off for the Great Yu Capital, where they will meet the "visitors" from afar and have a cordial and friendly exchange.

"I think it would be safer to have seed disciples from the Esoteric Sect and the New Life Path accompany us, so that we can have necessary exchanges if needed."

"The Sun Elf Race claim to be born from the Solar Yang's fire, but that's certainly not the case. Their population is small; one road from here is enough for us."

"The Esoteric Sect may appear peaceful, but it's actually quite ambitious. And then there's the declining New Life Path, which just had a Grandmaster Level battle with us. It's not a good time to invite them. My Immortal Path isn't that pathetic!"

The Great Yu Capital was incredibly prosperous, rich in natural resources and talented people. At night, a "bright moon" would even hang high in the sky. It was one of the ten most famous cities in the world at that time.

Kunling, being adjacent to the Great Yu Country, easily obtains the latest news from there.

Currently, the Sun Elf Race delegation has not yet entered the territory of the Great Yu Dynasty; they are still en route.

Something's wrong!

In the past two days, a Grandmaster Level figure has noticed something unusual about the Kunling Territory.

Even now, some of the Ancestor have not yet departed.

Clearly, they knew something and were observing something.

"The Ancient Kunlun that we resealed may have some problems, flaws, or even loopholes!"

On that day, a Grandmaster Level figure went to investigate along the crack in the folded space.

"Oh no! A monster is about to be born!"

That evening, very bad news broke.

"The Mad God has left the Jade Capital!"
