In his first sparring match with a foreign race, Immortal Path set off a spectacular "firecracker."

This news couldn't be kept secret, Chongxiao City was in an uproar.

In the city, the Lightning Finch and Flowing Light Bird released by various organizations soared into the night sky and flew into the distance.

"Doesn't this Beyond the Mundane the secular world consider itself orthodox? Turns out, they've been shaved bald!"

"What's the background of that delegation? How could they have caused such a crushing defeat for the Immortal Path Disciple?"

Under the night fog, cities across the land were brightly lit, strange birds carried messages, and the Immortal Path suffered four consecutive defeats, sparking heated discussions among the people.

The Sun Elf Race have become famous. People hadn't paid much attention to them before, as it wasn't uncommon for other races to visit, but this time was different; they had caused such a commotion.

Some people defended the Immortal Path, saying, "This exchange wasn't as bad as everyone imagined. In the sparring between the third and Fourth Realm, those Immortal Seed all displayed outstanding performances."

Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast.

The main reason is that over the years, the transcendence and power of the Immortal Path have been deeply ingrained in people's minds, yet it suffered such a crushing defeat, being completely overrun by foreign races in a certain realm.

"Please be patient, everyone. This is primarily a friendly exchange, and the actual combat isn't over yet. It will continue later. Stay tuned for the other Immortal Seed ' amazing performances."

"Stop trying to defend us. There's no such thing as friendly concessions in a duel. A loss is a loss. The cultivation of talent on the Immortal Path is worrying. How can Great Wilderness Expansion like this? I'm a bit pessimistic about the future."

Of course, some Beyond the Mundane People also stepped forward to refute the claims, saying that it was merely a setback for the middle and lower levels, and that the matter was far less serious than people imagined.

"Let's not talk about anything else. We'll only look at the results and see how the Immortal Path Disciple perform. If they lose again, it will be truly unacceptable and utterly disappointing."

For a time, some people in the Beyond the Mundane were under great pressure.

In the Night Mist World, there has been an ancient tradition of glossing over victories in battles against foreign tribes, but giving extensive accounts of defeats.

The various paths are in competition, Immortal Path doesn't want to bear the bad reputation of having a poor track record in external battles.

The old monster on the Immortal Path didn't care, because he knew his own true strength was already ridiculously powerful!

However, the younger generation couldn't sit still and wanted to hang all the Immortal Seed up and give them a severe dressing down.

"Did those two Esoteric Sect sects intentionally lose the contest? Did they want to see us make a fool of ourselves? We cannot tolerate being ridiculed by those from other paths."

"No matter what, we absolutely cannot afford to lose again." A "Young Ancestor" level figure spoke up on the Immortal Path.

On the same day, someone came to contact Meng Xinghai. This time, their sincerity was considerable, and they were much more proactive and enthusiastic than in the past.

Because the time window is short, and the Sun Elf and the Grandmaster Level figures from the Immortal Path will be giving lectures, the following battles will only be temporarily interrupted.

After an incense stick had burned a while, Meng Xinghai saw the visitor off and told Qin Ming the result.

"Yes, they couldn't hold back any longer and sent over the Vermilion Bird Evil. Although you already possess the Starfire Essence, this transformed anomaly has some inexplicable wonders, Contained Within innate patterns that are worth paying attention to."

In addition, the people from the Immortal Path brought a portion of Auspicious Beast Blood, hoping that Qin Ming would consume it immediately to enhance his cultivation and face the Sun Elf Race in his strongest state.

Qin Ming said, "They should know very well that I already have Blood Medicine on hand, which I'm saving for a crucial moment to break through my cultivation barrier. It's rather unreasonable for them to make me take it now."

The medicinal effects of the Auspicious Beast Blood are extremely potent. After achieving Nirvana through its use, the effects of using it again will be far less than before.

Meng Xinghai nodded and said, "I told them that you haven't fused with the alien substance yet, and you won't be using the Auspicious Beast Blood for a while."

Those from the Immortal Path mentioned that even if Qin Ming hadn't yet refined his evil spirit, taking the Blood Medicine to break through his cultivation wouldn't have any negative effects. It could be remedied later without leaving any hidden dangers.

To this end, they also provided a profound method, which was extracted from the "Immortal Combat Scripture).

Meng Xinghai smiled and said, "They don't know that you've actually entered the Mid-Second Realm. So, you could talk to them and pretend to have consumed the Auspicious Beast Blood."

During the negotiations, he made an outrageous demand, directly asking for the "Immortal Combat Scripture).

The people from the Immortal Path turned and left, making it clear that they could not agree.

Qin Ming removed the seal and opened the pristine white jade box. Instantly, a crimson Divine Sparrow flew out and tried to escape, but he quickly suppressed it with the Yin Yang Diagram.

Beside him, Meng Xinghai was also ready to intervene at any moment.

"Hmm, capturing it is easier than I thought." Qin Ming frowned, carefully observing the transformed Vermilion Bird Evil.

Soon, a look of anger appeared on his face. He was severely injured. Before the Immortal Path was sent out, it had ruthlessly squeezed the alien essence of the divine bird form.

Meng Xinghai was very unhappy and said, "These people have gone too far. They're so petty, they've brought it to the brink of falling from its legendary status."

Before they had even finished dealing with the Sun Elf Race, the people of the Immortal Path had already begun to prepare a backup plan for Qin Ming, worried that he would fuse the true Four Saintly Evils and master the unparalleled Heavenly Light Force.

Meng Xinghai said in a deep voice, "In that case, I'll inform them that we're not taking this job. Let them find someone else to do it!"

When the people on the Immortal Path received the news, some looked very grim, while others complained, "I told you long ago, there was no need for this. Even if he has the talent of Grandmaster Level, given the difficulty of the New Life Path, it would take him at least several hundred years to reach that level."

Another person nodded and said, "Yes, what's there to worry about in such a long time? He's already a well-known figure; anything could happen during that time."

Overall, the Beyond the Mundane tend to hold back, and unexpectedly, they messed things up completely.

"Could Tathagata Disciple Xiang Yiwu, and Wu Yaozu alone hold them off?"

"It's hard to say. The most crucial point is that the three of them are very close. I'm afraid that if one of them refuses, the other two will also back down."

Soon, the people from the Immortal Path came to their door again for a private meeting.

Meng Xinghai's attitude was firm, saying, "You said before that the second type of Fiend was close to taking human form. If you want to make up for it now, then bring out the legendary Azure Dragon Saintly Evil, otherwise there's no point in talking!"

The person in charge of the liaison on the Immortal Path widened his eyes. The other party's appetite was too big. Any legendary-level Sacred Fiend was priceless!

Such a rare and extraordinary quality is not only fatally alluring to New Life Evolver with Grandmaster Level talents, but also of great use to those with Immortal Seed or God Seed potential, as they can use it to hone their Mental Field.

Therefore, when they abandoned the Vermilion Bird Evil, their hearts were bleeding, and they were very unwilling. In the last moment, they desperately squeezed out its value.

"Famous evil spirits are hard to find, and legendary Sacred Fiend are even rarer. At this critical juncture, where are we supposed to help you capture them?"

Meng Xinghai calmly replied, "That's your business. In such a vast Night Mist World, I don't believe we can't find it. Besides, this is the Great Yu Capital, a place rich in resources and treasures; there might be clues here."

Qin Ming had told him that the mansion of that deity in the Shuyu River might contain the Azure Dragon Saintly Evil.

Therefore, Meng Xinghai casually mentioned it, but he couldn't make it too obvious.

"There may be Dragon Baleful Intent in this Chongxiao City." The people of the Immortal Path are indeed knowledgeable and experienced. They believe that the capital of a powerful Imperial Dynasty must be rich in Dragon Qi, which, when combined with Otherworldly Exotic Matter, makes it most likely to transform into a dragon.

They used their connections to confirm that the Azure Dragon Saintly Evil resided in the Shuyu River's Palace.

"Who wants my divine artifact?" That night, the River God Goddess, her hair piled high, frowned slightly. Although she no longer needed this extraordinary substance, her disciples could.

Unbeknownst to her, it was actually a "strongman" she had kicked out who had his eye on her hidden Sacred Fiend.

The people of the Immortal Path naturally wouldn't reveal the truth. After all, spending a fortune to hire someone to play for you would be too shameful if word got out.

The River God guessed that the descendants of the road pioneers were in dire need of the Azure Dragon Saintly Evil, which is why they used their connections with the Great Yu Dynasty to hurriedly come to purchase it.

She was very unhappy and didn't want to part with it.

However, she was also very wary, fearing that if she offended Grandmaster Level figure, she would be attacked by the Beyond the Mundane realms.

At this moment, Qin Ming had a big smile on his face.

After placing the listless Vermilion Bird Evil together with his collection of Starfire Essence, the two merged, and the Vermilion Bird shone brightly at a visible speed, and there was no problem.

That night, in the divine palace of the Shuyu River, the River God, with a dark face, abandoned the Azure Dragon Saintly Evil.

When the people from the Beyond the Mundane came to visit again, Meng Xinghai was astonished. They had actually brought the legendary alien substance; their efficiency was simply too high!

At this moment, Qin Ming was in a great mood!

"We've entrusted you with such a rare Sacred Fiend; don't let us down when you fight against the foreign races." The people from the Immortal Path also looked grim.

Normally, they would never tolerate such exploitation, but now that Immortal Path has suffered four consecutive defeats and public opinion is escalating, they are under immense pressure.

They brought up the old issue again, hoping Qin Ming would immediately take the Blood Medicine to break through the cultivation barrier, to ensure that everything went smoothly.

Qin Ming sighed, "Your demands put a lot of pressure on me. Everyone knows that the New Life Path is fraught with difficulties, and Treasured Medicine should be used sparingly at crucial moments."

"The two forms of Sacred Fiend far outweigh your losses; they are rare and precious anomalous materials!" The person in charge of liaison on the Immortal Path was heartbroken.

"There's only one type of Sacred Fiend; the other is practically useless," Qin Ming corrected.

"Just say it, what else do you want?" The people of Immortal Path were all ready to slam their fists on the table and stand up.

If it weren't for the fact that the world is currently focused on this event, and many people are watching the spectacle and waiting for the Immortal Path to suffer another crushing defeat, he certainly wouldn't be here "serving" them.

Qin Ming, with a solemn expression, said, "Do you have the <Golden Crow Illuminates Night Scripture>? In order to counter the Top Prodigy of the Sun Elf Race, I want to study the Solar Divine Fire."

"Are you the reincarnation of Taotie?" The people on the Immortal Path could no longer tolerate it. This young man from the New Life Path was simply insatiable and was taking advantage of their misfortune.

Qin Ming said, "If you don't have any, that's fine. Don't worry. Let's exchange them for some Extraordinary Art. Surely you have some? I'm just being cautious. After all, I'm fighting for you, standing up for you. We must achieve a great victory and forcefully crush them to save face for you!"

"I think I'll talk to someone else!" The person from Immortal Path turned to look at Meng Xinghai, really not wanting to talk to Qin Ming anymore.

Meng Xinghai said, "Actually, that's what I meant too."

They talked for a long time, and when the people from Immortal Path left, their faces were dark and sour, and they were in a very bad mood.

At night, the people from the Immortal Path came to deliver the Extraordinary Art with grim faces. I endured it, which can be considered as accepting it.

Qin Ming said, "Actually, if you show me the <Immortal Combat Scripture>, my chances of winning will be much greater!"

If Meng Xinghai hadn't been there, everyone on Immortal Path would have wanted to roll up their sleeves and kill him.

"Tonight you will consume the Auspicious Beast Blood, and do not cause any more trouble. Tomorrow the Ancestor will give a sermon, which will be a good time for you to go into seclusion and consolidate your knowledge!" The person on the Immortal Path gave these instructions before leaving.

"Don't worry, I guarantee I'll advance to the Mid-Second Realm. Sigh, the price I've paid for your Immortal Path is quite high!" Qin Ming sighed, looking anxious and uncertain.

Under the night fog, people in cities across the land were buzzing with excitement, having learned of the Sun Elf Race's power and extraordinary abilities, and eagerly anticipating the upcoming battle.

The Night Report, Divine Ability man of great power, approached the delegation and made close contact with some of the Sun Elf Race. He lavished praise on them, saying that this race was blessed by the heavens, with both men and women possessing outstanding looks, extraordinary talents, and long lifespans, truly a Heaven's Selection race.

"Night Report, your interests are skewed." Many people were dissatisfied.

After some analysis, the Night Report concluded that the Sun Elf Race had a very obvious innate advantage in the Second Realm, and that the Sunfire within their bodies, after being tempered by cultivation techniques, could burn anything.

"It could even be said that, within the realm of the Second Realm, such extraordinary Sunfire, once unleashed, might not even be able to withstand the legendary Heavenly Light Force of the New Life Path!" The woman in charge of following up on this matter in the Night Report said with certainty.

On the contrary, the Sun Elf Race kept a low profile, saying they looked forward to friendly sparring with their opponents on the Immortal Path and also wanted to witness the legendary Heavenly Light Force.
