Bonds Cannot Be Severed

"The youths from New Life Path are amazing! They actually defeated the young master of the Sun Elf Race!"

Under the night fog, in cities across the land, many people were talking about this matter.

"Many people used to advocate the Immortal Path, but this time they actually collapsed. They couldn't withstand the Sunfire from the foreign race and failed at the crucial moment!"

As the Great Wilderness Expansion was about to begin, many people were dissatisfied with the Beyond the Mundane, as their behavior this time was inconsistent with their usual high and mighty status.

The Path-Opening Ancestor of the Immortal Path originally didn't care about this junior competition, but now, hearing the criticism from the outside world, he began to reflect that there might still be room for improvement in the first two realms.

"It's time to expand the path. The area where the Divine Tomb and Immortal Grave are located is the Sacred Land where my Immortal Path took root and drew nourishment. The Seventh Realm must be broken through."

Even the most elderly Ancestor are ambitious and eager to reach new heights, wanting to immediately launch Great Wilderness Expansion; one can imagine the atmosphere at present.

"Give the order to thoroughly investigate the Sun Elf Race as soon as possible, and prepare for an expedition to the depths of the Night Mist World!"

Clearly, the Beyond the Mundane have been preparing for war for some time now, and this time, with the Immortal Path as the main focus, Great Opening anew after hundreds of years.

"Damn it, those old men have gone mad! What time of day is this? They're still sending out Lightning Finch to deliver messages, telling us to practice our skills diligently and improve our cultivation."

Even in the Moon Palace, high-ranking disciples on the Immortal Path were complaining.

In fact, all the Seed Level Figure and Core Disciple were admonished that night, forbidding them from wasting time and urging them to do everything possible to consolidate their cultivation in the near future.

It was as if a hurricane had swept through the Beyond the Mundane, reaching every corner of the world that very night.

For the first time, the Immortal Path Disciple had this feeling: the bloody Pioneering War was already very close to them, and they could be on their way at any moment.

Xiang Yiwu said, "What happened? Lightning Finch were flying around in the Moon Palace. I saw Pei Shuyan, Cui Chonghe, An Youxing, and others hurriedly leaving."

"The great battle is not far off!" The middle-aged woman from the Moon Palace personally delivered a bottle of fine wine as an apology before informing them that the Immortal Path had begun its final preparations.

"Sister, please tell us your name in detail," Wu Yaozu said.

"You've made me look so young. I'm 105 years old," the middle-aged woman said with a smile. She introduced herself as Liu Qingwan.

Qin Ming and the other two were speechless. What was going on with Celestial Tower and Moon Palace? They were both ancient immortals over a hundred years old.

Liu Qingwan said, "The area of Immortal Grave and Divine Tomb must be extraordinary. Just imagine, a race that worships nature— the Sun Elf —unearthed a portion of their inheritance and were able to travel so far on the Immortal Path to immortality. You can imagine how extraordinary that place is. The Immortal Path is going crazy, and some people might even surpass immortals to become ancestors!"

She was telling part of the truth; every Great Wilderness Expansion was accompanied by tremendous opportunities, and a small group of Ancestor rose to prominence in this way.

Liu Qingwan lowered her voice and said, "The people from the New Life Path and the Esoteric Sect couldn't participate before; that was the territory that the Immortal Path people came into contact with first, and it was designated as their home ground. Do you want to be among the first to join the expedition? Perhaps you can compete with those Immortal Seed for Great Opportunity!"

The three looked at each other and realized that the centenarian fairy was actually a middleman.

She explained that high-ranking nobles could send people from Beyond the Mundane to join them on expeditions.

"You can travel with the direct descendants of nobles; some are willing to pay a hefty sum to hire you..."

"Well, we'll go back and think about it," Qin Ming said. The other party's approach was too reckless and fraught with too many hidden dangers; he had no intention of getting involved.

In any case, my focus these days is on preparing for the competition and improving myself.

The Sun Elf and his party had arrived outside the Moon Palace, their outstanding appearance immediately attracting attention.

In particular, there are some famous figures among them who have defeated Immortal Seed, including members of the Sun Elf royal family.

The once Li Guang, as dazzling as the Solar Yang Divine Maiden, is now somewhat lost and forlorn.

Grandmaster Qiong Hui of the Sun Elf Race spoke up, "Don't worry, I've used all my power to temporarily suppress the Immortal Pact. Even if you approach, it won't go out of control."

Li Guang nodded, feeling as if she were sleepwalking.

The fight in front of the South Heaven Gate was clearly her chasing after the young man at first, so how did she end up with such a misfortune? It turned out she was bound by Immortal Pact.

Would she be recorded in history? The outcome of the Lishi Controls Immortal to possess the immortal filled her with shame and indignation; she truly felt utterly ashamed.

"What? The Sun Elf Race has come and wants to meet with me." Upon learning this, Qin Ming frowned slightly and pondered for a moment.

He hadn't expected them to come knocking so quickly; he wasn't prepared. He said, "Tell them to wait."

Qin Ming wasn't worried about them turning against him. This was human territory, and there was more than one Grandmaster on the Above the Moon at the moment.

"The Elf Queen's servants have arrived?" Little Wu chuckled to himself.

"Don't talk nonsense, lest you anger them." Qin Ming felt it was necessary to invite Meng Xinghai over, and also to call the people from the Immortal Path.

He didn't have a deep understanding of the Immortal Pact and needed professional help.

The main reason is that his private contact with the Sun Elf Race might make the old guys on the Immortal Path overthink things, and they'd keep an eye on him afterwards.

Clearly, there are many eyes and ears on the Above the Moon, making it impossible for him to secretly meet with the Sun Elf Race and thus profit from their misdeeds.

It's better to be upright and honest than to arouse suspicion and be remembered later.

Moreover, the Sun Elf Race must be incredibly resentful that he shaved their heads and subjected them to "Lishi Controls Immortal." Even if they reach a private agreement with him, they will eventually sell him to the people on the Immortal Path.

"This guy's really putting on airs, making me wait outside," one of the Sun Elf Race complained.

"This is to 'avoid suspicion.' He's very wary of us. Just watch, he's definitely waiting for others to arrive," said an older Sun Elf.

"Unfortunately, there's no way to harm him; it would cause a backlash from the Immortal Pact," said the young Sun Elf He Yan.

"I really want to kill him!" Chi Yao said.

These two men had traveled with Guang Yu to the Shuyu River and were close friends, so naturally they wanted to stand up for him.

Furthermore, most of the young men of their generation had a strong affection for Li Guang and admired the future Elf Queen. However, Li Guang actually wanted to become Qin Ming's "strongman," which was a huge psychological shock to them.

In their eyes, Qin Ming was a "Barbarian" from Outer Domain, yet he was about to take away the Solar Yang Divine Maiden they regarded as his own, which was truly disheartening.

Meng Xinghai rushed over immediately because Celestial Tower was right next to the Moon Palace, just a stone's throw away.

Grandmaster Ling Canghai and Su Yuxiao from the Immortal Path also arrived, but they did not show themselves. They sat deep within the Moon Palace, simply observing and listening.

Meng Xinghai was not intimidated. Although his Martial Uncle had not appeared, he was nearby and keeping a close eye on things. He was also a Grandmaster.

Inside the Moon Palace, the aroma of tea wafted through the air. Qin Ming, with a smile on his face, stood up and looked at the Sun Elf. A group of people had arrived, including the Grandmaster- level old elf Qiong Hui had come in person.

Li Guang still possessed captivating beauty. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and when her deep Violet Eyes gazed upon him, his mind momentarily dazed, and he felt an overwhelming urge to submit.

This made her pale, clearly the Immortal Pact had taken full effect; Grandmaster's efforts to calm her were not as effective.

Beside her, a middle-aged female elf quickly helped her up.

Grandmaster Qiong Hui, confident in his status, remained silent and sat there coldly.

Everything was handled by a middle-aged female elf named Xu Lin.

She spoke, "Our two clans are on good terms and are about to embark on an important collaboration. It was just a friendly sparring match, yet such an unexpected incident has occurred. I implore you, young brother, to help us as soon as possible to dissolve the Immortal Pact."

Qin Ming immediately nodded and said, "I would be more than willing. Everything is for the sake of the Changqing friendship between our two races, and I will certainly treat you with utmost sincerity!"

The group of Sun Elf were all surprised; how could he be so easy to talk to?

Qin Ming added, "However, I've heard that breaking the Immortal Pact will damage my foundation. I hope there's a safe solution."

On the other side, a group of foreigners were astonished. Was there such a saying? How come they didn't know about it?

Grandmaster Qiong Hui couldn't help but snort. Was this kid talking nonsense? As the leader, how could he possibly hurt himself?

However, resolving this issue is extremely difficult and will be accompanied by various problems.

The Sun Elf Race people immediately understood that he was... politely and courteously preparing to ask for favors.

Meng Xinghai sat calmly to the side, realizing that all he had to do was drink tea.

"For Miss Li Guang's sake, I am willing to suffer personal loss, but I also ask the nobles for their assistance in replenishing my vital energy. If you possess the <Golden Crow Illuminates Night Scripture>, as well as the <Waxing and Waning Scripture> and the <Eight Sceneries Divine Illumination Scripture>, my practice of these scriptures may help me stabilize my origins."

At this moment, even the Grandmaster Ling Canghai's face twitched. This kid doesn't want any extraordinary Extraordinary Art, every book is a secret manual. He has a huge appetite!

However, the group of Sun Elf Race were bewildered, exchanging bewildered glances. Then, someone whispered, "What kind of scriptures are these?"

"You don't have any over there?" Qin Ming was also surprised.

Xu Lin nodded and said, "I've never heard of it."

Qin Ming quickly described the situation and asked them to think about it carefully.

"We've been walking the Immortal Path, and all we've unearthed are Immortal Method. What you're describing sounds like scriptures for warriors. Let us think about it," Xu Lin pondered.

She then said, "There are several methods, such as replacing God Bone, repairing Immortal Skin, or refining in the Imperishable Furnace. These are the methods of ancient warriors."

Another person added, "There's another method, where, with the help of others, words are carved into flesh and blood, imprinting a mark of immortality. This is also very orthodox."

Qin Ming knew immediately that this was not a good Cultivation Method, as it would be entirely subject to the Immortal Path.

His face darkened slightly as he said, "What kind of wretched place is that? It has nothing here, nothing there, is it some remote, impoverished backwater?"

On the other side, a group of Sun Elf were provoked, but ultimately held back.

Xu Lin said, "Perhaps there are, but we mainly cultivate Immortal Method, so we probably overlooked them. We should search carefully when we get back. Or perhaps they are still buried in the Immortal Grave and haven't been unearthed yet."

Then, she sighed and said, "We feel very guilty for not being able to find those scriptures, but we would still like to ask you, young brother, to tear up the Immortal Pact first."

She then went on to say a lot, explaining that severing the ties was far more difficult than she had imagined. Qin Ming felt that even with his full cooperation, he would ultimately find it difficult to completely break the Immortal Pact, and the connection would always remain.

Qin Ming said, "No problem, as long as the self-damage isn't too severe, I'm willing to cooperate. Hmm, since there are no scriptures to practice, do you have any legendary-level Sacred Fiend over there? They can slightly replenish my essence."

Xu Lin paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

"Hmm, do you have the ' Ascension Evil ' and the ' Dao Attainment Evil ' over there? Let me think about it some more, what else do I need?" Qin Ming rattled off six or seven outrageous curses that weren't even recorded in books.

Sure enough, the group of Sun Elf opposite him stared wide-eyed, finding his request utterly outrageous.

"This kid is just feinting; he'll definitely bring up the White Tiger Sacred Fiend and the Black Tortoise Sacred Fiend later," Grandmaster Ling Canghai chuckled to himself.

As expected, Qin Ming brought it up.

"White Tiger Sacred Fiend..." Xu Lin frowned, pondering carefully.

At that moment, she heard a telepathic message.

Grandmaster Su Yuxiao of the Immortal Path secretly spoke up, "If you have the White Tiger Sacred Fiend and the Black Tortoise Sacred Fiend, trade with me!"

The old man secretly intercepted Qin Ming's collection, not wanting him to collect everything, and indicated that the Immortal Path side could make any decision.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lin said to Qin Ming, "White Tiger Sacred Fiend, these... we need to look for them; we can't be sure yet."

Qin Ming's expression was displeased. He said, "Then tell me, what legendary-level Sacred Fiend can you send from your side?"

The people of the Sun Elf Race could see his extreme dissatisfaction. They gathered together, exchanged information, and inquired about the legendary evil spirits.

Ultimately, they mentioned two options, one of which Qin Ming needed!

Qin Ming remained expressionless, but muttered with considerable dissatisfaction, "What a backwater!"

On the other side, He Yan and Chi Yao almost stood up and attacked him.

Qin Ming said, "I only want the White Tiger and Black Tortoise, these two Sacred Fiend. The two you mentioned earlier are just extras, for my two brothers to use to hone their Mental Field."

Su Yuxiao secretly transmitted his voice again forcefully. "If you possess either the White Tiger or the Black Tortoise Sacred Fiend, you must make a deal with me!"

"Let's talk about the scriptures again..." Qin Ming continued.

The group of Sun Elf were extremely dissatisfied; this was not just outrageous, it was downright gluttonous!

Wu Yaozu said, "You need to understand that you were the ones who acted unjustly first, actually using the Immortal Pact to try and subdue my Ming Ge into a warrior. You should pay for all of this."

Meng Xinghai nodded and said, "That makes sense."
