Returning to Black White Mountain

In an instant, Qin Ming seemed to hear the breath of the mountains and rivers, see the blazing Great Sun turning, see the bright moon hanging high, and discover a sky full of stars.

The four chapters of the scriptures, totaling more than two thousand words, hung in his mind, bringing him such a tremendous sense of awe, as if they were tangible objects!

He guessed that the four short stories should represent four Fundamental Scripture doctrines.

Qin Ming read it aloud in his mind and found it extremely obscure and difficult to understand, estimating that it would be very difficult to comprehend.

He realized that his own talents were being challenged; he hadn't experienced anything like this in a long time, the last time being when he struggled with Silk Book Method.

With the Ancestor right before him, there was no reason for him not to seek his guidance.

"Hmm, these four texts are still too early for you. They are mostly True Scripture that can only be pondered after reaching the third or fourth realm," said the gaunt old Ancestor.

He then pointed to one text, saying, "Only this text can be studied from a young age, and as one's understanding deepens, one can appreciate its subtleties more profoundly."

The Ancestor explained that this is the Flesh Body Chapter, and the key to practicing this True Scripture is to avoid using the Heavenly Light Force whenever possible, and to fight against others purely with one's physical body.

Qin Ming's expression turned solemn; this kind of self-training was extremely dangerous!

Because, whether it's the Heavenly Light or the Consciousness Spirit Light, breaking through the physical body is not particularly difficult.

Especially certain unique techniques of the sect, Tathagata Force " and " Pure Yang Consciousness," can destroy the physical body as easily as tearing paper.

Even a body forged through the Silk Book Method silk would likely be unable to withstand the protective aura of the Heavenly Light and would be cut apart.

The Ancestor said, "This is just a training method, not a way for you to necessarily withstand attacks head-on. Some targets can only be pursued, never approached."

Qin Ming nodded. If the old man didn't reveal the secret to practicing this scripture, he would inevitably take many detours and achieve half the results with twice the effort.

According to the Ancestor, Silk Book Method is rooted in various scriptures, but it cannot possibly encompass all of them.

Just like these four articles, not all the "nutrients" have been absorbed.

The Ancestor said, "Those classic texts that, despite the erosion of time and the burning of World Fire, still retain 'true gold' amidst the ashes after countless destructions, should be valued."

Qin Ming pondered the Flesh Body Chapter on the spot, recalling his First New Life when he was still far from the Heavenly Light Force level. He once took Firewood Chopping Knife and braved heavy snow to go into the mountains and kill nine Mountain Patrol were causing trouble in the area, which was quite brave and bloody.

"Without the Heavenly Light Force, relying solely on physical strength, if one can continue to progress and reach its peak, it is certainly a viable path."

He quickly came to his senses and asked about the other three articles.

Sure enough, there are some tricks to practicing these True Scripture.

After the exchange, the old Ancestor's eyes were dim, and his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were severely depleted.

"Ancestor, I have the Auspicious Beast Blood here." Qin Ming took out a piece of transparent crystal, inside which was blood as bright as a golden Scorching Sun.

The old man shook his head and said, "Even if I were to extract the Heart Blood essence from the Auspicious Beast, it wouldn't be of much use to me."

Qin Ming added, "I have a ' Life Altering Scripture.' If the Ancestor can comprehend it, it may have miraculous effects; it can alter one's constitution and prolong life."

"Hmm?" After hearing him recite the True Scripture, the Ancestor showed a thoughtful expression, nodded several times, and said, "This is scripture that has stood the test of time, it is not simple, but for me, it is too late, and it is difficult to change my fate."

Seeing the young man before him trying his best to prolong his life, the old Ancestor was gratified, but in the end he shook his head and clearly told him that his time was up.

Qin Ming sighed, "Ancestor, your cultivation is so profound, can't you undergo Nirvana and be reborn? My New Life Path is in dire straits, and we need someone like you to lead the way."

"Nirvana, New Life —how easy is that!" The old Ancestor sighed softly. He had achieved it himself, but who could guarantee that he could maintain it at every Major Realm?

Especially at his level, it becomes even more difficult.

"Ancestor, not long ago, I was New Life in the Mid-Second Realm..." Qin Ming shared his insights.

The old Ancestor looked at him, a smile appearing on his face. The shadow of death no longer loomed over him; instead, he seemed somewhat relieved. He said, "You're quite good!"

He recalled, "We had also deduced that each Major Realm would bring about New Life beginning, which might be able to extricate this path from its predicament. However, to live by facing death is easier said than done. One of us tried to fight to the death, engaging in countless battles, leaving himself no way out, hoping to Nirvana the ashes in desperate circumstances. He succeeded by chance, but in the end, he still died."

Then, the old Ancestor asked, "You came here alone to fish in the dead of night, is it for some evil purpose?"

Qin Ming nodded, but he hadn't expected that instead of finding the legendary Dragon-Shaped Aberrant, he would end up fishing up the Ancestor!

"So many years have passed, those Evil Land I remember have probably been dug up long ago," the old Ancestor pondered.

Then, he casually rattled off a whole bunch of place names.

"Some of the legendary evil spirits were not obtained by us when we were young, and even our disciples later lacked the ability to refine them. There should be some residue left behind, more or less."

The anomaly mentioned by the Ancestor definitely belongs to the strongest category of the Night Mist World.

Because some of them are simply impossible to refine and are extremely dangerous.

He then spoke of the evil spirits that could be melted.

Qin Ming was quite shocked; what the old man was saying seemed too fantastical.

For example, there was once White Tiger that descended from the Beyond Heaven; that was actually Heavenly Light, which had already taken form before it reached the world.

There is another forbidden land where the Five Elements Heavenly Light is so intense that it cannot be dissolved, and it is constantly generating life, having already formed its own system.

It is said that a Heavenly God is suppressed in that Five Elements Forbidden Domain!

Qin Ming listened intently, and among the many place names mentioned by the Ancestor, there was even Black White Mountain.

However, the Ancestor only guessed that there was a legendary evil spirit there based on the terrain and energy flow; he never went to search for it himself.

"I should go now, otherwise I won't even have the strength to bury myself." With that, the Ancestor stood up.

He acted decisively, picking up the two Mad God and leaving.

"Ancestor!" Tonight, Qin Ming was deeply moved, for he had actually met the Ancestor of Silk Book Method, but the old man was about to pass away.

"No need to see me off, I'm leaving!" the old man said, then took a step and disappeared on the horizon.

Moments later, in the deep darkness of the night, a blinding beam of light pierced through the sky and the earth, Ancestor vanished from the world, burying himself.

"Farewell, senior!"

That night, Qin Ming left the border area between Kunling and Great Rui.

He wanted to walk thousands of miles to experience the Night Mist World firsthand.

Four days later, Qin Ming frowned. Traveling alone at night was not a safe course of action.

Between different cities, the distance is too great, and it is common to see no one living for tens or hundreds of miles. Today, when he crossed the two places according to the map, there was a desolate no-man's land for eight hundred miles in between, with no villages or towns along the way, which was really a bit creepy.

During this time, he drew his Mutton Fat Jade Iron Saber several times, startling away some inexplicable creatures.

In populated areas, these anomalies are less noticeable; however, in desolate and uninhabited regions, they are more likely to occur and cause fatal harm.

Most importantly, even cultivators cannot see that thing; it is invisible and silent.

Even with his Eye of New Life activated, Qin Ming could only see blurry outlines, in various shapes and forms.

Under his exceptional vision, some of those things shone, while others cast shadows.

In this extremely unusual and dangerous Night Mist World, it is incredibly difficult for ordinary people to travel far; they can only survive by following the fire.

"No wonder even the Grandmaster Level said that the Night Mist World is full of unknowns, and it's normal that it's hard to understand."

Late at night, Qin Ming encountered danger!

A chill swept over him, instantly covering his entire body, like an invasion of icy springs. It was sticky and extremely cold, threatening to freeze his soul.

This experience was terrible; Qin Ming's consciousness felt like it was freezing, and he felt like he was suffocating.

With a boom, he activated the Silk Book Method, merging all the Heavenly Light Force into one and unleashing it in full force. In the night mist, it was as if a Solar Yang had exploded, dazzlingly bright.

The sticky, chilling, and terrifying feeling that pierced his consciousness receded like the tide, but Qin Ming's body remained tense.

Even with his Eye of New Life, he could only vaguely sense that there was something ahead, but he couldn't make out what it was.

The things I encountered tonight were far more difficult than those of the past.

Qin Ming swung his sword several times, seemingly relying on his instincts to strike the object, but to no avail.

On the next occasion, he was engulfed by extreme cold, soaked to the bone, his flesh numb and tingling, the cold seeping into his entire body.

He unleashed his unique Heavenly Light Force once again to break free. This time, he unleashed the Yin Yang Heavenly Light Diagram and also summoned his pendant— the Exotic Metal Small Sword.

He vaguely heard the mournful howls of another world, as if there was a "boundary" between them, but it was briefly broken through.

The dangerous and strange creature was injured, struck by Qin Ming's Yin-Yang Yin Yang Heavenly Light Diagram and the Exotic Metal Small Sword, and then fled far away.

Despite this, Qin Ming's heart remained heavy, even the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Saber that could kill unknown beings had become ineffective.

This Night Mist World mysterious and dangerous, containing many things that are difficult to understand. He has now given up the idea of traveling alone at night to see the uninhabited area.

"No wonder there are no towns along the way; this place has been carefully selected by our Old Ancestor." He quickly left.

Finally, he arrived safely in a Giant City and checked into an inn to rest.

Qin Ming tossed and turned, thinking about the unknown.

"Could it be... a heart attack?"

He once read a large number of rare and miscellaneous books on the ninth floor of the Library Tower of the Mountain River Academy. Among them, the Nine Questions of Longevity on Immortality" mentioned a kind of creature, or rather a mysterious phenomenon.

"The spirit, separated by lifetimes and the dust of the past, attaches itself to a ghost's body, and then becomes a malevolent being."

His heart skipped a beat; it must be something like this!

The 𫆏 is difficult to manifest in the Present World; it can only cause trouble when it possesses a ghost, which makes it somewhat terrifying and troublesome.

And 𫆏 is probably just one of many mysterious phenomena in the uninhabited areas of the Night Mist World.

On the fifth day, Qin Ming booked a ship ticket and set off for Black White Mountain by spaceship.

Of course, at present, there are only spaceships taking off and landing between Giant City, and there is no direct flight route to Black White Mountain.

When registering his name, Qin Ming casually gave Zhou Wubing.

In fact, Zhou Wubing often used his name as well.

Only now have the Er Bingzi been abandoned.

When traveling, one's identity is self-defined. Zhou Wubing habitually identified himself as Qin Ming, which led to unforeseen changes and resulted in him being hunted down.

"What's going on? I only stayed at the ruins for a while, and when I came back, it felt like the world had changed. Even the name Qin Ming can't be used anymore; has it become taboo? Master Xu... save me!"

After the Er Bingzi was safe, he went to find out what was going on, and was soon dumbfounded. He had just learned that Qin Ming's name had become famous Kunlun City and had spread to far and wide.

"Damn it, someone's trying to get back at him, and I'm being made a scapegoat. And this is... the territory of the Aristocratic Clan!" He felt wronged; he was injured and bleeding, and he couldn't use his fellow villager's name anymore.

If Master Xu hadn't been nearby, he would have been in grave danger.

Then, he screamed again, "What have I missed all this time? Auspicious Beast Blood was born in Kunling! Ahh..."

Master Xu said, "Hmm, foreigners have arrived. Let's go take a look."

On the spaceship, Qin Ming sat quietly, looking at the dark sky and the thick clouds around him, no longer feeling the same sense of novelty as when he first embarked on his long journey.

Along the way, the sky and earth were as dark as ink, and the spaceship pierced through thick clouds and fog, occasionally stopping to allow passengers to collect the "Heavenly Bloom" that had fallen from the heavens.

This time, Qin Ming's journey was peaceful; it was impossible for him to keep falling into the air.

After the spaceship landed in the Giant City, Qin Ming did not go to Red Haze City where Meng Xinghai was located, but instead went to the neighboring Maple Leaf City, and then from there he headed to Black White Mountain.

This time, besides wanting to fish for the legendary alien substance at Black White Mountain, he also wanted to quietly visit old friends in Double Tree Village.

Most importantly, in the Evil Land of Kunling, he saw the thatched hut and papers left behind by a very high-level Godlike creature that had escaped from Jade Capital, which filled him with suspicion.

Is Old Man Liu from Double Tree Village related to the person who escaped from Jade Capital five hundred years ago?

At this time, Wu Yaozu had already arrived in the Great Yu Capital and met Xiang Yiwu, Tathagata's Abandoned Disciple Buddha. The two traveled together and fully appreciated the prosperity and splendor of this famous city.

This place boasts numerous historical sites and scenic spots, including a 4,000-year-old tree said to have been planted by the first Path-Opening Ancestor, a thousand-year-old Giant Palace, and a 2,500-year-old Heaven-Piercing Divine Tower.

But all of these things currently pale in comparison to the attention garnered by the elven delegation from a distant, mysterious land.

A race born from the Solar Fire Essence has officially arrived from the depths of the Night Mist World.

Qin Ming's journey was smooth, and he had already arrived outside Double Tree Village. To his surprise, he found that the Fire Spring was much brighter than before, and the Black White Twin Trees had grown significantly taller and thicker.
