The Shuyu River, with its floating paper lanterns and shimmering water, is like a galaxy of stars slowly flowing past Chongxiao City.

All three resisted falling into the river.

The drunken Wu Yaozu had sobered up, shivered, and was filled with regret.

He was very worried that this dehydration from drinking would kill him.

The river flowed like Jade Belt, with swaying water plants and schools of fish, shrimp, and turtles. The three reached the bottom of the river but found no abode of the gods, only swirling white mist.

Xiang Yiwu said, "The God's Pure Land does not exist in reality."

Qin Ming had prior experience with this, having once been targeted by the remnant spirit of Giant Centipede that had almost become a god, and led into an unknown part of the Night Mist World.

He tried his best to restrain his own energy; otherwise, the Heavenly Light of the heavens, imbued with consciousness and Divine Wisdom, would be too dazzling, like a rising sun sinking into the riverbed.

As the three approached the white mist, the scene changed dramatically: a path paved with pure white seashells stretched into the void, leading into the depths of the night mist.

They set off without thinking, and soon, the view ahead opened up, as bright as day.

The city walls are made of colorful corals, resembling an intricately woven dreamlike brocade, while a huge and pure crystal is carved into the gate.

The mansion of the gods was indeed magnificent, Lingering auspicious clouds, guarded by golden-armored soldiers, and attended by maidens in feathered robes, as if one were in a celestial palace.

The three walked forward and came to a Giant Palace. Here, whether in the bonsai or on the walls, huge luminous pearls were embedded, shining brightly. Golden pillars were wrapped with dragons and snakes. The music was melodious, and clam fairies danced. There was a peaceful atmosphere.

Inside the palace, three Sun Elf Race, led by maids, sat cross-legged behind jade tables, while attendants served them fine wine and delicacies.

Food that can be eaten by Spirit Body must be extraordinary tonics.

"River God, this junior knows his mistake." Little Wu immediately apologized upon arriving.

The three discovered that there were no maids to guide them to their seats, and no extra jade tables.

At the highest point of the Giant Palace, a beaded curtain hangs, and behind it, in the hazy white mist, lies a dragon throne crafted from the seven mythical treasures, upon which sits a woman with her hair piled high in the clouds.

She remained silent, seemingly scrutinizing the three of them.

Li Qingyue, Yao Ruoxian, and Zhao Qingcheng were located in the area next to the beaded curtain, clearly receiving special attention from the River God. It was rumored that the Great Yu Dynasty royal family had a deep relationship with this god, which was probably true.

"You, being of lowly status, have shown great disrespect outside the sacred grounds of the gods. If you were among my people, your bodies and spirits would be burned, and you would be returned to the light," a Sun Elf declared.

They were downstream just now, and they were really annoyed by Little Wu's actions. Now they're going to retaliate directly.

Little Wu wanted to say that on ordinary days, many people in Chongxiao City would wash clothes and brush their teeth in the river, and even children would urinate there, Seeing God. But today, things just happened to be as they were, entirely determined by the River God's whims, and he could now do whatever he pleased.

However, he disliked the three Sun Elf very much; in this divine palace, what right did a foreign race have to speak?

Wu Yaozu, never one to hold a grudge, turned his head and said, "Yellow Hair, do you even have a place to speak here? Stop spouting nonsense!"

Suddenly, the Giant Palace fell silent.

Golden Haze flashed deep within the eyes of the three male Sun Elf, but they remained calm and did not react, instead looking towards the area behind the beaded curtain.

The River God spoke, "All who enter the palace are guests, but the three of you were impolite first, daring to speak ill of the gods behind their backs."

A hand made of smoke and mist reached out, quickly enlarged, and with a whoosh, carried Qin Ming, Little Wu, Xiang Yiwu toward the beaded curtain.

"Your Majesty, they had no intention of offending us," Li Qingyue said.

At the same time, the sign hanging around Little Wu's neck glowed, and a kind Old Woman appeared, illuminating a dazzling Golden Haze.

"You come from Kunling?" The River God looked at Little Wu with surprise. The five-colored hand dissipated into a mist of light, and the three of them landed on the ground.

Wu Yaozu felt that in this crucial moment, they still had to rely on his grandmother's divine intervention, so he immediately nodded and said, "Yes!"

"And you?" The woman asked Xiang Yiwu from the divine chair made of seven treasures.

"I am Tathagata Disciple," said the burly young man.

"Considering your youth and ignorance..." the River God began, then glanced at Qin Ming and asked the same question: which lineage did he belong to?

Strictly speaking, Qin Ming is Rogue Cultivator. He joined the Mountain River Academy not long ago but was forced to leave, and he currently has no background.

However, this River God was clearly quite conservative; she wouldn't really look favorably upon a strongman unless he had a respectable background.

Qin Ming took out two leaves, one black and one white, which were clearly distinguishable. Then he activated a jade tablet from the Six Royals Ancestral Court, using a two-pronged approach.

"Alright, you may go." The woman with her hair tied up high spoke. Although her expression was obscured by the white mist, it was clear that she didn't particularly like the three of them.

With a wave of her hand, she swept the three of them out of the Giant Palace and left.

Before leaving, Qin Ming and Xiang Yiwu clearly heard the people of the Sun Elf Race asking Yao Ruoxian and Zhao Qingcheng for advice.

"Three fairies, could you perhaps enlighten us? Although our clan possesses the methods of cultivation, those with dull aptitude, like those three we just encountered, lack the talent to advance on the Immortal Path to immortality. We wish to guide the less fortunate among us onto this path, and we've heard of a well-established training system here..."

Qin Ming, Xiang Yiwu, and Little Wu nearly had to go back and fight their way back.

But they restrained themselves, suppressing their impulses. Perhaps the Sun Elf was deliberately trying to provoke them and lead them back, which would be tantamount to offending the River God's majesty again.

As the three were leaving, they saw Pei Shuyan, Cui Chonghe, Sun Jingxiao and others approaching. The River God was hosting a banquet for those with affinity, and there were more than one group of people. These Immortal Seed had caught her eye.

At this moment, even the rugged Xiang Yiwu was somewhat unsettled. How could there be such a huge difference between people? They were kicked out, while others became VIPs.

He felt that the three of them could easily suppress the Immortal Seed like Li Qingxu and Sun Jingxiao, but they were not qualified to attend the meeting.

"It's all my fault. I've gotten carried away lately. I shouldn't have acted so recklessly and offended the gods." Wu Yaozu deeply reflected on his actions and solemnly apologized to the two people beside him.

"This is none of your business." Qin Ming shook his head. It was clear that the River God had never intended to invite the three of them. The Immortal Body was deeply ingrained in this deity, forming an ingrained concept.

The three returned to their physical bodies and instantly awoke. Drinking no longer tasted good, so they went straight ashore.

"This River God might be a Flood Dragon," Xiang Yiwu muttered to himself.

Wu Yaozu also communicated with him telepathically, saying, "Ming Ge, are you still lacking Dragon Baleful Intent? I wonder if this person has it in their Divine Palace."

Clearly, he also misunderstood, thinking that Qin Ming needed the Four Saintly Evils.

However, if the legendary Azure Dragon Saintly Evil is present here, then it is indeed something he needs.

Qin Ming shook his head. No matter how desperately he needed it, he couldn't reach out to the gods.

Today, he finally realized that it was ultimately because he, as New Life Evolver, had a low status and insufficient strength; otherwise, he would have been an honored guest long ago.

In fact, if he hadn't taken advantage of the situation and used a powerful figure as a shield, he might have been punished by the River God.

Upon closer reflection, his two brothers were both very influential, while his own situation was actually quite unimportant, rather weak and isolated.

"We must rise to prominence as soon as possible," Qin Ming said.

"When we become gods and ancestors," Xiang Yiwu nodded heavily.

Late at night, they returned to the inn.

Qin Ming sat quietly in his room, diligently refining his evil energy. It wasn't a thunderstorm, and he wasn't in a place like the Thunderfire Alchemy Hall, so doing this would be extremely dangerous.

Because any legendary anomaly will shorten one's lifespan.

Even Qin Ming needed to gradually adapt before he could fuse the Four Saintly Evils.

Sure enough, after one intense attempt, the White Tiger Evil alone shortened his lifespan by several years.

He was horrified. If things continued like this, he would have to burn through at least one or two hundred years of his lifespan to completely fuse the various Sacred Fiend. This was practically Life Talisman from the underworld.

Qin Ming's expression was solemn. The legendary level of evil was too terrifying. Many geniuses throughout history dared not provoke it, as it could easily take lives. Who could withstand that?

Adding to the damage he suffered while refining evil spirits in Red Haze City, he has lost a total of thirty years of his lifespan!

To be on the safe side, he needs to wait for the thunderstorm to arrive so he can absorb the beneficial Longevity Heavenly Light of the heavens, such as Purple Qi Comes From the East the Good Fortune Arrives, to counteract the negative influence.

In fact, he had already absorbed a large amount of it while refining the Yin Yang Diagram in the Kunling Tower, and he was worried that he had developed "resistance" to some of the rare and gentle Heavenly Light.

If that's the case, then he may not be able to recover his life force from premature depletion.

"It shouldn't be a big problem, right? According to the research data on the Beyond the Mundane that Qing Yue gave me, there are still quite a few strange Heavenly Light, so there's no need to worry too much."

However, if he succeeds, he should ideally be able to be New Life.

Otherwise, if a major breakthrough only makes up for the lifespan that should have been increased, without actually extending lifespan, it would not only be a loss, but also seem abnormal.

Actually, the main problem was that the evil spirits Qin Ming chose were too powerful, all of them legendary level. Before he could adapt to them, his body was under too much strain.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. If he wants to master the unparalleled Heavenly Light Force, he naturally needs to take risks and pay the corresponding price.

If the worst-case scenario occurs, he still has the Auspicious Beast Blood as a backup.

"I gradually adapted, carefully refining my skills every day!"

The next day, Meng Xinghai arrived and informed him of the results of his negotiations with Immortal Path.

"They really don't act until they see results."

Currently, the Beyond the Mundane has provided a portion of Auspicious Beast Blood as a deposit, but the promised evil spirit has not yet been delivered.

Meng Xinghai said, "They believe that they should avoid asking people from the New Life Path for help if possible, otherwise they would feel embarrassed. They want the Immortal Seed to try it out first."

However, the situation is not optimistic. The Second Realm Immortal Seed is restrained by the Top Prodigy among the Sun Elf. When the opponent's golden flames burn, the Consciousness Spirit Light of the Immortal Path Disciple can hardly block them.

As for the sparring in the Third Realm, the Immortal Path Disciple are not so fragile. After all, they have already undergone the initial "Tribulation Crossing" or have been baptized by the "Immortal Fire".

On that day, news came that the Immortal Path Disciple had suffered two consecutive defeats in the Second Realm competition, and both of their Immortal Seed were burned to a crisp!

Little Wu came to Qin Ming and said, "Ming Ge, I heard that the people from the Immortal Path suffered a crushing defeat. Shouldn't they find someone from the New Life Path to fight for them?"

He originally wanted to call Qin Ming to go to the Moon Palace, but now he had to postpone it and needed to prepare for battle seriously.

However, news came in the evening that the people of the Immortal Path had actually asked two God Seed to take action the next day.

Asking for help from the Esoteric Sect Buddhists was acceptable to those Beyond the Mundane, since, if traced back to their origins, they all came from Ancient Immortal Dojo.

Unfortunately, news arrived quickly the next day that the first God Seed had been defeated!

The situation caused an uproar. Many outsiders were unaware of the inside story, unaware that the Immortal Path had invited outside help, and only knew that they had suffered three consecutive defeats in the Second Realm competition!

"If you've got the guts, then go all the way and make the Sun Elf Race shave their heads in the Second Realm!" Qin Ming muttered to himself.

He knew without even thinking that some people on the Immortal Path had a grudge, considering themselves the legitimate inheritors of the Ancient Immortal Dojo, and were too proud to admit it.

However, the Sun Elf Race, who cultivate immortality, is indeed very strong, and they can easily defeat them in related fields.

Qin Ming knew that since the people from the Immortal Path had invited him to Chongxiao City in advance, they would definitely have to ask the people from the New Life Path to intervene when all else failed.

Soon, more bad news came to the Immortal Path: the even more powerful God Seed they had invited as reinforcements had also been defeated.

Thus, amidst the uproar, the Immortal Path Disciple suffered an embarrassing four-game losing streak in low-to-mid-level sparring, leaving them with no way out.

I will try to resume updating twice a week soon, so please wait a little longer, fellow readers.
