Seeing the New World [Two Chapters Combined]

The Li Fire Furnace glowed red-hot, nine birds flew together, and crimson clouds shone in all directions. Surprisingly, characters appeared inside the furnace!

Such an outrageous thing happening was truly beyond Qin Ming's expectations.

Although he was alarmed, he remained calm and composed.

The densely packed small characters are all engraved inside the Furnace Body, and now only he himself can resonate with them.

Qin Ming first memorized it; it was a profound and unfathomable scripture.

He pondered carefully: the crimson Furnace Body was a manifestation of the state of mind he cultivated through the <Li Fire Scripture>. How could written words have been born after it materialized in the world?

Are there scriptures circulating between heaven and earth?

He didn't think it was that mysterious. It was probably because he had cultivated the Li Fire Scripture to the legendary perfect level. Since he could transform into Furnace Body, it wasn't impossible for runes to intertwine and manifest characters.

If that's the case, then it can only mean that the person who left behind the "Li Huo Jing" (Li Fire Scripture) possessed terrifyingly high cultivation, leaving behind a legacy within a perfectly formed realm.

This means that some scriptures remain in the world.

The tiny characters in the furnace, their true carrier—the book—may have long since decayed in time, but they can still be reproduced.

"Passing down knowledge across generations!"

After studying it for a while, Qin Ming frowned deeply. It was too profound; this shouldn't be a technique that someone in the Second Realm could practice.

This is not Extraordinary Art; at the very least, it has reached the level of a secret manual.

He was thrilled; this was a gain far beyond his expectations. In just one practice session, he had obtained Secret Treasure in the furnace, which was no less powerful than the "Waxing and Waning Scripture" and the "Abiding World Scripture".

Qin Ming wondered if other Extraordinary Art might also be "Secret Treasure."

If so, it would be as if a radiant, God's Pure Land awaits his arrival.

He quickly shook his head again, saying that it was impossible for all Extraordinary Art to be so remarkable; the most crucial factor was the spiritual cultivation of the person who left behind the scriptures.

"The * Li Fire Scripture * is an ancient scripture, likely a teaching passed down from a great era when Godlike creatures frequently appeared."

Qin Ming surmised that what he had witnessed today was not an isolated case; there must be other scriptures that had also left behind "pathways" to understanding them.

Moreover, if one finds a hidden scripture within a scripture, there is a high chance that it will reveal some extraordinary lineages, which are not necessarily continuations of the original scripture meanings.

Just like the words he has memorized, he wrote about the Southern Blazing Fire and also mentioned the issue of acupoints in the human body.

If one is incredibly lucky, one might one day unearth a Supreme Chapter from a Extraordinary Art manual; this might not be mere wishful thinking.

For a moment, Qin Ming was lost in thought.

Because the prospect of uncovering treasures from legendary Extraordinary Art circulating in the world is incredibly exciting, filled with unknowns, mysteries, and endless possibilities.

Qin Ming's expression was, in the eyes of He Yan, Chi Yao, and the other young Sun Elf Race, utterly outrageous.

Because his eyes were burning, and the corners of his mouth were turned up, his smile impossible to hide!

Qin Ming stared at the Li Fire Furnace before him, exploring its Secret Treasure and envisioning the future. How could he not be excited and happy?

A group of young Sun Elf, however, thought he was watching the Li Guang dance, and their eyes widened in disbelief.

"A lewd look in your eyes!"

A group of young elves, full of dreams for the future, are now like a jealous couple, because someone is desecrating and destroying the beauty in their hearts.

"Li Guang is in grave danger!" He Yan almost slapped his thigh in despair.

In his Chi Yao, Chi Yao furiously urged the Sunfire, wishing he could burn the boy in front of him to ashes immediately.

Seeing their heavy breathing and glaring eyes, Wu Yaozu became displeased and, without consulting anyone, spoke up, saying, "What business is it of yours I Am Lustful?"

In an instant, the group of young Sun Elf were about to lose their composure again.

Xu Lin felt that since her clan's Solar Yang Divine Maiden would need her companionship in the future, she had to protect her well.

At this moment, Qin Ming finally came to his senses and thought to himself: It's just watching a furnace, and you guys are making such a fuss. Well, what business is it of yours?

Seeing their eyes blazing with anger and their heavy breathing, Qin Ming became even more reluctant to explain. Dissatisfied? Then keep it to yourself; he wouldn't tell them the truth.

A group of young Sun Elf, seeing that he merely glanced at them indifferently and then went back to watching Li Guang's elven Divine Dance, felt their chests tighten with frustration.

Qin Ming carefully sensed that although Grandmaster Qiong Hui's firelight contained only wisps of Sun True Fire, its quality was extremely high, surpassing the total amount of fire essence from all others.

Li Fire Furnace, the cicadas chirped incessantly, growing louder and louder. A pair of transparent, thin wings supported the lightning, and its entire body gradually turned golden, bursting with Divine Radiance, as if it were about to be New Life.

And then there was the silkworm, which ate fire and slept, growing ever fatter and snoring soundly in the stove.

These are all manifestations of the spirit and meaning of Extraordinary Art achievements.

These two Extraordinary Art await transformation, and may bring surprises.

With things having come to this point, Qin Ming decided to call it a day, as these people could no longer offer him much help.

Li Guang stopped, her waist-length golden hair, which had been fluttering, now fell to the ground, and she calmed down from her passionate and unrestrained state.

She found it hard to believe that she was being so obedient; the binding force of the Immortal Pact on her was stronger than she had imagined.

She felt she shouldn't give in; everything that had just happened felt like a sleepwalking dream. She stubbornly raised her snow-white chin.

"You've worked hard. Have a seat and a cup of tea," Qin Ming said.

Then, she obediently sat down beside him, first pouring a cup of tea for the boy in front of her, and then drinking it herself.

Li Guang was stunned; this terrifying instinct for obedience!

She wanted to slap herself; it was just too shameful.

When He Yan and Chi Yao saw Li Guang, who was like Solar Yang Divine Maiden in their hearts, with such a gentle and demure expression, they both felt as if their hearts had been punched twice.

"After my defeat, I actually..." The light in Li Guang's purple eyes flashed with a clear mind. Belatedly realizing what was happening, she began to struggle and resist again.

"Li Guang, are you alright?" many foreigners asked.

"Isn't this a good thing?" Xiang Yiwu said, then added, "Even the best can make mistakes. A misstep can sometimes be a blessing in disguise."

"!" A group of young Sun Elf couldn't stand his words; they were even more offensive than Qin Ming's earlier outrageous remarks.

"If you can't speak properly, then shut up!" Even Xu Lin, who has the best temper, couldn't hold back anymore.

"I'm trying to comfort you, and you don't even appreciate it." Xiang Yiwu shook his head.

As he spoke, he caught a white rabbit, a unique pet of the Moon Palace, that had wandered in, and began to pet it.

His large, fan-like hands were so strong that even the rabbit was no longer docile. It struggled fiercely, its ruby-like eyes turned even redder, and it was almost howling with tears in its eyes.

Goodbye!

The Sun Elf Race was simply too much for them to bear. The bald, fierce-looking man with a face as wide as a door, and the dissolute protagonist—the three boys had left a deep impression on them; it was all just too awful.

As the only elder, Meng Xinghai stood up at the opportune moment and led the three in a warm farewell, saying, "We became friends after a fight; fate is so wonderful, connecting us all. Let's get together often in the future."

In an instant, the group of Sun Elf' faces darkened further, and they quickly disappeared into the night.

"If you don't work hard when you're young, you'll be stuck in the celestial palace when you're old." In the distance, Meng Xinghai's senior uncle, Lin Yuchen, stood on the jade tower, carrying a wine gourd, and sighed before leaping into the tower.

As for Ling Canghai and Su Yuxiao, they had already left.

After Meng Xinghai left, Qin Ming and the other two drank heartily.

With the matter now settled and the storm completely over, Qin Ming awaited good news from the Sun Elf Race. With the Earthwalking Sacred Fiend, he could break through the barrier again.

Xiang Yiwu said, "We are about to Great Wilderness Expansion into the depths of the Night Mist World. Those with lofty ambitions will strive to improve their cultivation and strengthen their power. Starting tomorrow, we must also intensify our preparations."

He had barely finished speaking when he was asked to leave.

"The Daughter of Marquis Wuping!" Wu Yaozu peeked out to see who had sent the messenger to invite him.

Qin Ming was surprised; the Tathagata's Abandoned Disciple was quite popular.

"Judging from the situation, Brother Wu might become the son-in-law of a future god!" Little Wu laughed, as everyone was saying that Marquis Wuping was extremely powerful and had the potential to become a god.

Afterwards, many people came to find Qin Ming and Little Wu. Amidst the constant clinking of glasses, Wu Yaozu became completely drunk and said in a tearful voice, "Ah, I miss my grandma. She... could disappear at any moment. I don't know how much longer she can hold on."

Qin Ming said, "Stop drinking. Go back early and start practicing your skills like crazy tomorrow. One day, you'll surpass the Divine Ancestor and return to the Fourth Forbidden Land."

Late at night, the two hurried toward their temporary dwelling on the moon.

Soon, Wu Yaozu became furious and said, "You Immortal Path are so stingy, you're practically kicking me when I've served my purpose!"

After the duel ended and they left, the rooms and courtyard were cleaned up, and other people moved in.

"I'm so sorry, I thought you weren't coming back. Shall I go check again to see if there are any rooms left?" the manager said with a forced smile.

This is Blessed Land on the moon, so it's naturally not easy to live here.

Wu Yaozu pointed at him, the alcohol rising in his head, and he almost vomited.

"Forget it, let's go." Qin Ming was too lazy to argue with this kind of person. He figured that this kind of person wouldn't dare to cause trouble, and that someone was probably pulling the strings behind the scenes.

The steward was sweating profusely. The man before him was in the limelight, having fought for the Immortal Path and defeated several seeded Sun Elf Race. Naturally, he dared not be negligent.

However, there are other people he can't afford to offend.

"The person who made you do this must be quite young, right? What else could it be besides being disgusting?" Qin Ming really couldn't think of anyone who would do such a thing.

The steward bowed repeatedly, apologizing profusely, his brow beaded with sweat, his face pale and filled with intense unease.

At the height of his emotional turmoil, Qin Ming attempted to empathize and captured a series of blurry images.

"Let's go!" He frowned slightly, turned around and left.

People in nearby courtyards peeked out, looking surprised.

The two decided to leave the moon altogether, and said goodbye to Xiang Yiwu before they left.

They encountered the Tathagata's Abandoned Disciple outside the Moon Palace.

"What's wrong with Brother Wu?" Little Wu asked.

Xiang Yiwu said, "I only finished refining the Golden Cicada a few months ago, and I haven't reached the level of Heart Refinement yet, so I have to withdraw."

Wu Yaozu was astonished and said, "What have you been through to have such a passionate and wonderful life!"

The thought of him and Qin Ming being kicked out of the house filled him with resentment.

"What?!" Xiang Yiwu was furious upon hearing this. They were fighting for the Immortal Path, and this was how they treated their guests? They had actually canceled their accommodations for the three of them in advance.

If he were allowed to act on his whims, he would go back to argue and cause a huge scene.

Qin Ming stopped him, saying, "Let's forget about it tonight. I reckon some people are just waiting for us to cause trouble. It's not worth going to Uncle Meng over this. Now that the Sun Elf Race has left the moon, let's talk about it another day."

The three rode on a strange bird on the moon, disappearing into the night fog.

"Hmm, lucky me, I saw another Moon Waterfall." Little Wu was in a great mood.

At that moment, a dazzling waterfall of Fire Spring cascaded down from the moon, and now that they were further away, their view was even better; in the pitch-black sky and earth, the scenery was incredibly magnificent.

The three looked up and saw a group of people taking off from the Moon Palace. Clearly, they had paid an exorbitant price to admire the Moon Waterfall.

Although they were far apart, Qin Ming used his "Eye of New Life" to pierce through the night fog and see them clearly, even noticing the subtle expressions on their faces.

One of the youngest boys caught his attention. He was dressed in fine clothes, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist. His attire was very exquisite, and his clothes and jade pendants seemed to be rare treasures, shining brightly in the night sky.

Calling him a teenager is a stretch; he's probably only a little over ten years old, maybe eleven or twelve at most.

From the manager's demeanor, Qin Ming captured the image of this teenager, whose sharp eyes and forceful command made him do as he was told.

Ahead, a young man with rosy lips and white teeth was quite handsome.

Moreover, his mind was incredibly sharp; as if sensing something, he looked in this direction.

Qin Ming frowned. This was no ordinary child; most people wouldn't even be able to embark on the path of cultivation by the age of eleven.

The boy looked down at them, smiled faintly as if mocking them, and then his expression turned to disgust.

Qin Ming really wanted to slap this kid, because that expression was just too irritating!

He was clearly a young child with an outstanding appearance, but there was just no way to like him. His eyes and expression made Qin Ming want to rush over and kick him a few times.

"To embark on the path of cultivation so early, and with such keen senses and extraordinary talent, casually spending Day Gold to look at the Moon Waterfall without even blinking, one must have an extraordinary background on the Immortal Path." Qin Ming thought of all this in an instant.

The three of them then disappeared into the night sky and landed in Chongxiao City, the Great Yu Capital.

A gust of night wind made the already drunk Little Wu feel dizzy, and he almost vomited. He said, "What year is it tonight? Our old land is shattered, our people have been in ruins for many years, and only I have survived in this world. Alas!"

Xiang Yiwu seemed thoughtful, and said, "He's drunk. He always seems so cheerful, but he's actually very depressed and bitter inside."

Qin Ming knew about Little Wu's situation. He seemed carefree and didn't hold grudges about the past, but he actually kept it all in his heart.

Little Wu shook her head, glanced at the shop selling turtle jelly, and said, "It's nothing, I'm fine, just a little dizzy. A bowl of longevity soup will sober me up."

Qin Ming looked at the Old Turtle and said, "Didn't you sell yours on the main street? How come you have a shop here too, and you're the one running it?"

He was deeply impressed by the Old Turtle; he had seen it calling out when he entered the city a few days earlier.

"This is the main headquarters of the Longevity Turtle Pavilion. The main street is overseen by the clone turtle," the Old Turtle replied. To the Demon Race, these were all minor matters.

"Boss, give each of us three a bowl, to replenish our energy."

"Alright, sir, this is a top-quality tonic. I'll compensate you tenfold if it's fake!" the Old Turtle replied, peeking out curiously.

A middle-aged man, drunk, passed by and stopped them, saying, "Let me tell you, this turtle jelly is really not nourishing. My great-grandfather, my grandfather, and everyone on this street loved to drink it, but in the end, they all died because of this old turtle jelly."

The Old Turtle looked at the middle-aged man and said, "You're just as mischievous as your great-grandfather. He said the same thing back then."

Qin Ming was stunned. How many generations had been sent away?

Wu Yaozu immediately felt that he had to try the tonic made from such a long-lived turtle.

He downed a bowl in one go and said, "Ming Ge, Brother Wu, this tastes really good, why aren't you guys drinking?"

Xiang Yiwu asked in a low voice, "Do you know the ingredients of turtle jelly?"

"What are the ingredients?" Little Wu asked, a bad feeling creeping in.

"Tortoise shell is the main ingredient. Look at this Old Turtle, it's so old, it's definitely got real substance. Scrape its shell every now and then, and carefully simmer it into a paste..."

"Ugh!" Wu Yaozu vomited, then looked directly at the Old Turtle and asked, "Really? Or not?"

"Really? No, it's fake. Never mind, I'll give you ten more bowls. I should close up shop now." The Old Turtle Old Turtle him ten bowls in one go.

It's so thoughtful, providing compensation in one step.

"You made a profit. You got eleven genuine items for the price of one. Drink up," Xiang Yiwu said with a smile.

"Ugh..." Little Wu vomited uncontrollably, completely sobering up.

The Old Turtle sighed, "Child, don't worry. You won't lose out by eating my tortoise jelly. You'll definitely live a long life, and you might even have an extra life."

Two days later, in the inn, Qin Ming and Xiang Yiwu were sparring in the training room. They did not use the Heavenly Light Force, but relied solely on their physical bodies to fight, which unexpectedly produced bursts of wind and thunder.

This is a high-class inn, specially prepared for cultivators, with an incredibly sturdy training ground.

Qin Ming and Xiang Yiwu both looked surprised, staring at each other in disbelief.

Qin Ming believed that since embarking on his New Life Path, he had taken every step steadily and with perfect rhythm, making him unrivaled at his level.

However, in terms of physical strength alone, he found that Xiang Yiwu was not necessarily weaker than him.

Xiang Yiwu was even more shocked. His body, as wide as a door panel, was not just muscular; there were many intricacies involved. It was no exaggeration to call him Otherworlder among Otherworlder.

He knew long ago that he existed to prolong the life of the New Life Path!

Earlier, he had already noticed something amiss. In terms of Heavenly Light Force, he might not be as good as Qin Ming, but in terms of physical strength, he should be able to suppress him.

But after taking action today, he realized that this tall and slender brother also possessed an abnormally powerful Exerted Effort.

Wu Yaozu was dumbfounded. The two were fighting with their bare hands, without the Consciousness Spirit Light the Immortal Path or the Heavenly Light Force of the New Life Path. When they collided, it was like a thunderbolt, deafening.

Moreover, the two men struck the fortified copper wall and iron barrier, leaving clear and deep palm prints, which even showed signs of cracking when the force was slightly increased.

"By sealing himself in a mortal state and exercising extreme restraint, he could even shatter gold with his bare hands." Little Wu was shocked and extremely envious. Wasn't this the physical body he had been pursuing? It could perfectly compensate for the deficiencies in his Rainbow Transformation Body.

He didn't want to be like his ancestors, ultimately abandoning his physical body and Rainbow Transformation to depart. He gradually realized that doing so was like being a rootless duckweed.

Qin Ming and Xiang Yiwu stopped and looked at each other.

Qin Ming spoke up, "When I broke through to the Second Realm, I also experienced New Life, and my physique increased significantly."

Xiang Yiwu also frankly admitted. "During the Second Realm, I sat cross-legged in the Tathagata's Seven Treasures Pool and New Life from Nirvana."

"Hiss!" Wu Yaozu gasped, nearly biting his own tongue.

Xiang Yiwu's expression was complicated. He possessed various Secret Technique researched by the Ancestral Court of a certain sect to temper his body, while the other party was just a self-taught individual who had actually reached this level.

Although he is now a "wild cultivator" and has been left to his own devices, he has already thoroughly learned and understood everything he needed to.

He said, "In a few days, your physical body will improve further. Although it won't be as good as New Life, it will still be quite remarkable."

"Huh?" Qin Ming asked, puzzled.

Xiang Yiwu explained, "Some Extraordinary Art, when practiced to perfection, can lead to entirely new realms. I suspect that your Li Fire Scripture) also exhibits this unusual manifestation."

Qin Ming was immediately shocked. Da Xiang had mastered this skill and experienced it before, even earlier than him!

However, upon closer examination, it makes sense. The other party comes from the Tathagata Sect and has systematically studied various methods, so he certainly knows far more secrets than him.

In fact, this kind of thing doesn't need to be taught by anyone. Once you reach that level, you'll naturally discover new horizons and uncover Secret Treasure!

If you can't reach that level, telling you in advance is useless; it will only shake your resolve.

"What did you see?" Qin Ming asked.

Xiang Yiwu smiled slightly and said, "I have already seen the legendary Great Thunderclap Temple, Great Thunderclap Cicada... its prototype."

Qin Ming was surprised. Sure enough, this burly young man had already seen the new and strange areas and unearthed an incredible Secret Treasure.

Little Wu was completely bewildered. Where did these two go digging for something? What were they talking about?

"To actually see a legendary temple?" Qin Ming pondered, this was indeed quite unusual.

Xiang Yiwu shook his head and said, "Arriving in this new world for the first time isn't as amazing as you imagined. It's just a Extraordinary Art skill, merely a first glimpse into Secret Treasure. I'll need to set foot in this new world many more times in the future to perhaps reap greater rewards."

Qin Ming pondered that he was also practicing the Golden Cicada Scripture and raising silkworms and cicadas, so perhaps he would have a chance to see the Great Thunderclap Temple.

Xiang Yiwu said, "Seeing the New World will surely bring feedback. You haven't received the gift of the <Li Fire Scripture> yet, so wait patiently for the next few days."

Qin Ming nodded. It seemed that none of the paths were simple. Not to mention the Immortal Path and the Secret Sect Path, even the New Life Path had many secrets to be uncovered.

This is understandable; although New Life Path has declined, it still exists and has a way to prolong its life.

Xiang Yiwu seemed to know what he was thinking, shook his head and sighed, saying, "Do you think that all Extraordinary Art are perfectly suited to oneself and can be practiced to a perfect level? Not all Extraordinary Art have a 'new world'; the number of times a person can see a ' New World ' in their lifetime is probably limited."

"I want to see the New World too!" Wu Yaozu was itching to see it.

Qin Ming glanced at him and said, "I have a True Scripture here, indeed unfathomable, but not easy to practice."

Then he asked Xiang Yiwu, "Do you want to change the scripture? I guarantee it will be an immortal work on the New Life Path, having withstood the test of time."

Xiang Yiwu's eyes lit up, and he said, "How about exchanging it for the Tathagata's Handwritten Notes? It's all based on experience!"

"Can I exchange? I have the top-level chapters on the Mental Field here!" Wu Yaozu quickly joined in, wanting to learn as well.

Qin Ming took out the scripture related to the physical body that had been passed down by the Ancestor of the Silk Book Method.

When the two heard that he had come out of Kunling and walked alone at night to Dragon Pool to fish, he had actually caught a Ancestor. They were both dumbfounded and felt that it was both bizarre and terrifying.

The three of them happily exchanged books and shared what they had.

As they emerged from the secret training Secret Chamber, Qin Ming received a letter.

They have been in seclusion for the past two days, refusing to see any visitors, because so many people have been looking for them.

They naturally received many invitations, but none of them have attended yet.

"This is..." Qin Ming was startled; it was a letter sent by Li Qingyue.

In addition to the letter, there was also a keepsake: a bronze ring.

"If anyone puts pressure on you, show this token." This was Li Qingyue's message. She had come in person before, but Qin Ming was in seclusion at the time.

"Is there really someone who wants to harm me?" Qin Ming's face darkened, his eyes deep. He suddenly thought of that young boy.

However, he didn't know the other person at all and had no grudge against him. It seemed that the boy had someone backing him up.

"Pressure... they wouldn't dare take my life. That's right, the Ancestor just crippled Lao Cao, even the most stubborn old monsters on the Immortal Path wouldn't dare to make a move. Besides, people at that level wouldn't even bother with me, they wouldn't take me seriously."

Qin Ming felt that this had nothing to do with the old monsters; it was probably just some young and impetuous individuals acting on their own initiative.

That night, he felt something and sat cross-legged in the training room.

A moment later, the bright red glow of the Li Fire Furnace appeared, hovering in front of him, and then slowly rose into the air, coming to rest above his head.

At this moment, the cicadas stopped chirping, and the fat silkworms retreated.

Only the pure Furnace Body itself took shape, and it slowly opened the furnace lid, from which overflowed a crystal-clear liquid, carrying a rich aroma.

It wasn't a physical object, but it gave the impression that it truly existed, like a batch of Treasured Medicine that had just been refined.

Li Fire Furnace tilted, a fragrant liquid dripped down and into Qin Ming's mouth.

In an instant, he felt as if he had drunk fine wine or jade nectar, his whole body felt comfortable, his mind was clear and his body was translucent, constantly emitting precious light, as if he were about to ascend to immortality.

Qin Ming realized that even practicing Extraordinary Art could open up new horizons and pave Dao Path for his New Life Path!

"It smells so good, I'll have another!" He opened his mouth and drank another sip of the "Secret Treasure."
