Drooping Wings Fade Away

"Is it that serious?" Qin Ming asked in surprise, as if disaster could strike at any moment.

A gentle evening breeze carries the faint fragrance of wildflowers and the fresh scent of grass and trees through the woods. Small Fire Spring flow slowly, and vines and branches seem to be covered with soft light.

Li Qingyue said, "There are no small matters when it comes to pioneering new lands."

"What kind of danger is it?" Qin Ming asked.

In the woods, the Fire Spring tinkled, the scenery was hazy, and Li Qingyue seemed to be glowing all over. Her black hair fell to her waist, and her profile was fair and radiant. She shook her head slightly.

The higher-ups at Immortal Path did not elaborate on this matter.

Perhaps out of fear of causing unnecessary panic, or perhaps because there are other hidden reasons, no one is talking about this publicly right now.

Li Qingyue said, "The atmosphere is a bit tense; lately, even the Grandmaster Level figures have been extremely serious."

The Ancestor of New Life Path and Esoteric Sect, who were able to come, all came, but none of them made a public appearance. They held several secret meetings with the higher-ups of Immortal Path.

Li Qingyue's master was Grandmaster. Although she was not present, she was able to come into contact with those people and could truly feel the oppressive atmosphere of an impending storm.

"Were the higher-ups of the Sun Elf Race involved?" Qin Ming asked.

Li Qingyue nodded and said, "We had several private talks."

Recently, the Sun Elf Race has been actively cooperating, searching for and providing various materials to break the Restrictions.

"Qing Yue, take care of yourself first. I have Senior Brother Lu Zizai Take Care Of, so there shouldn't be any major problems." Qin Ming looked at her earnestly, even more worried that something might happen to her, fearing that someone might take advantage of the situation.

Perhaps, Helian Old Monster wasn't the only one eyeing the Fundamental Scripture of the Luofu Sect and the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

"At a critical moment, Lu Zizai might not be able to attend to everything," Li Qingyue said, shaking her head. She also solemnly told him not to go to the Mountain City recently, and that it would be better for him to stay on the spaceship.

Qin Ming already knew that the Mountain City of the Sun Elf Race was built on a giant coffin lid, which was accidentally discovered by an Old Senior of the Immortal Path while exploring the surrounding area.

Li Qingyue, her white robes fluttering, gazed at the dark night sky and said, "The place we stand on is probably no longer the homeland recorded in Ancient Texts."

Qin Ming was taken aback, then nodded. The world couldn't have been this big before the Solar Yang disappeared.

Venturing into the depths of this world, a single exploration can easily cover hundreds of thousands of miles, and this is only a small part of it; how could the original planet possibly be so vast?

The boundless night fog resembled a bridge, its confines seemingly merging the homeland into some unknown place.

"It's a pity we've never seen the magnificent starry sky recorded in olden times."

"Perhaps this is the true nature of the world; darkness is the norm, and homes with light are ' Blessed Land ' belonging to special periods in history."

"That's true. Even according to Ancient Texts records, the deep universe and the dark realms are far more vast, with starlight resembling fireflies on a dark sea."

"However, if I have the chance, I still want to see that legendary, dazzling starry sky."

As they walked and talked, Qin Ming realized that he couldn't quite fathom the depth of Li Qingyue's abilities.

"Qing Yue, you've broken through again?"

Li Qingyue whispered, "Time waits for no one; with Drooping Wings Fade Away."

Qin Ming was startled and said, "Qing Yue, you..."

She smiled and said, "No need to overthink it. A great era has arrived, and we need to improve ourselves as soon as possible. I have already transformed the Dragon Tiger Pill and the Auspicious Beast Blood into my own power."

"You've broken through to new realms in such a short time. Aren't there any hidden dangers?" Qin Ming looked at her, feeling that she was rushing things.

Li Qingyue reassured him, saying, "I used the remaining fire from the Eight Trigrams Furnace to temper my body, and it's completely solidified."

Qin Ming couldn't figure out what level she was on either.

In the past, both of them benefited greatly from the Mountains and Rivers Spirit Nest in the ruins of Luofu Immortal Mountain Ruins, and Qin Ming's foundation was greatly enhanced.

Li Qingyue stayed inside longer than him.

Qin Ming suspected that, given the lingering effects of that "Blessings," she might be able to break through to the Third Realm after slowly digesting it upon returning to the Beyond the Mundane.

Although she now appears serene and composed, Qin Ming senses that she is moving in a hurry, even taking Great Medicine of medicine consecutively.

"The Eight Trigrams Furnace is said to be Near Immortal Object, but its level may actually be higher; it comes from the very depths of the Night Mist World," she told us.

In fact, Qin Ming had heard before that the Eight Trigrams Furnace was discovered during the early days of Great Wilderness Expansion and was not made by the Luofu Sect.

"A faint 'spirit' is awakening within the Eight Trigrams Furnace, telling me that this Immortal Grave ground possesses an aura that feels somewhat familiar to it."

The two talked a lot that night, but it was all rather scattered.

"The Taishang Leader of the Imperial Immortal Sect has a 40% chance of reaching the Seventh Realm. He is very interested in the things in the main tomb. If he fails, it might be even more dangerous..."

"Qing Yue, if there's any danger, come with me to Double Tree Village. There's someone there who might be able to protect you." Qin Ming quickly and simply relayed the information about Old Man Liu to her via telepathy.

Old Liu may be useless elsewhere, but in the Black White Mountain area, he might be able to passively recover after a crisis, thus serving as a deterrent.

"Um!"

The next day, while it was still quite dark, Qin Ming got up early to practice his martial arts.

A pale golden luster appeared on his body, a manifestation of reaching a certain level in practicing the Vajra Sutra. He used the branches and leaves of the precious tree on the large tomb as aids, and his progress was extremely rapid.

As time passed, a rumbling sound emanated from his body, and even his internal organs were tinged with a pale gold color. In an instant, the golden light shone brightly and overflowed, making even the strands of his hair crystal clear, as if they had turned into golden light.

"The true body is as solid as Diamond, and the eternal abode and the ultimate truth coexist!" Qin Ming suddenly opened his eyes.

He began to strike in the woods, each blow seemingly carrying an invincible force, the Vajra Eternal True Intent beginning to manifest.

After finishing the Vajra Fist, he formed a hand seal, and a Vajra Pestle vaguely took shape. He then unleashed it, and with a loud bang, the trees in front of him were completely destroyed.

Qin Ming stood there pondering, then began practicing the "Flesh Body Chapter" of the Ancestor of the Silk Book Method's teachings.

For a moment, his punches and kicks created gusts of Astral Wind, without any special light flashing, but his every move seemed even more dangerous.

Even without the flow of Heavenly Light Force, relying solely on his physical strength, he was still as fast as lightning, traversing the forest. Any grass, trees, or rocks he touched were reduced to dust.

Suddenly, Qin Ming stopped and smiled.

Comparatively, he placed more emphasis on the Flesh Body Chapter, which could have led to a completely different path.

The Vajra Sutra is very powerful and extremely potent once mastered, but it ultimately requires the use of Heavenly Light Force, and he does not lack such scriptures to this day.

It is not a rare book; other secret texts can replace it.

However, Vajra Sutra consumed the Heavenly Light Force, it also strengthened his body, which pleased him somewhat.

Furthermore, Qin Ming repeatedly used the Secret Method of the Vajra Sutra to transform the essence of Vajra Force and further nourish his physical body.

Afterwards, he practiced the Flesh Body Chapter and found that after receiving the Diamond Essence as a supplement, he achieved twice the result with half the effort.

He possesses the Silk Book Method, and the Heavenly Light Force he has cultivated is so powerful that it can dominate all other force techniques in the same realm. No matter how strong the Vajra Force is, it cannot compare to the former.

Therefore, he incorporated a portion of the Vajra Force into the various forces governed by the Silk Book Method, while another portion was given back to the body, transforming into resources for the Flesh Body Chapter.

Soon after, Qin Ming chewed a piece of golden twig as if biting into sugarcane, and the flowing golden sap carried a rich fragrance.

His pores were all open, Golden Haze flowed, his flesh and blood were translucent, and a rain of light overflowed from his body, as if he were about to ascend to heaven.

"Yes, consuming the sap of the Vajra Treasure Tree, combined with the Flesh Body Chapter, will yield even better results."

After Qin Ming channeled his energy, the Golden Haze on his body reversed completely, unable to escape, and was absorbed cleanly by his flesh and blood.

"Ming Ge, up so early to study?" Wu Yaozu entered the woods and sensed that he had been working very hard lately.

Qin Ming responded, "If you don't work hard when you're young, you'll end up in the Celestial Tower when you're old. I don't want to live a life of debauchery."

Wu Yaozu asked, "Who provoked you?"

Qin Ming said, "Little Wu, come on, you attack me."

"Ah, you don't need to use the Heavenly Light Force?" Little Wu was startled.

"Bring it on."

Qin Ming washed away his sweat under the waterfall. His long and strong body had smooth muscle lines that shimmered with a crystal-clear luster, full of vitality.

He had tried it; ordinary swords and knives were hard to injure him, but a cut made with Mutton Fat Jade Iron Saber would heal quickly, and the scar would disappear soon.

Even though the training session had ended a long time ago, Wu Yaozu was still somewhat surprised that Qin Ming was already able to mount a preliminary attack against him without using the Heavenly Light Force.

Qin Ming wasn't worried about the All Laws Perish; he simply wanted to have another means of survival. In case he fought someone to the point where his Heavenly Light Force was exhausted, his physical body could still unleash its power, perhaps reversing the life-or-death situation.

"Come on, let's divide the spoils. If we made a mistake, let's divide the treasure." Qin Ming called to Little Wu and Xiang Yiwu.

Last time, after educating Helian Zhaoyu, Wei Cheng, Luo Jingxiao in the tea room, he also received three storage pendants, which he has not touched.

So many days have passed, and no one has come to claim it, so it seems there's no problem.

After some deliberation, the three of them used the Heavenly Light Force to dismantle the Restrictions.

"What is this?" Wu Yaozu took out a small crystal bottle, the purple liquid inside of which seemed to emit an eerie glow.

Qin Ming said, "I have a bottle here too."

Xiang Yiwu, being from the Tathagata Sect, recognized what it was at a glance and said, "This is a life-saving Great Medicine. As long as you haven't died, drinking it will immediately prolong your life and allow you to recover in a short time."

The three of them inventoried the "stolen goods," and they found it to be quite substantial. In addition to the life-saving purple Great Medicine, there were various other bottles and jars, such as a blue precious liquid sealed in crystal and a cyan paste sealed in a jade jar.

"This potion is extremely precious. After being exhausted in a life-or-death battle, drinking it can immediately restore one to peak condition."

"Hiss, this drug can unleash a massive burst of potential in combat!"

As they inspected the goods one by one, the three men's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Without a doubt, the supplies carried by Helian Zhaoyu, Wei Cheng, and Luo Jingxiao were "rare resources" carefully prepared for this Great Wilderness Expansion.

Still not convinced, they went to Yu Gensheng for authentication and found that all the items were genuine and contained no hidden dangers.

Yu Gensheng said, "These are all rare items, hard to find on the market. Just getting these bottles and jars alone will make your trip worthwhile; their value is outrageously high."

Then, Qin Ming found a jade box in Helian Zhaoyu's storage pendant. Inside were more than a hundred golden leaves, clearly from the Vajra Treasure Tree.

He was certain that without obtaining the complete Vajra Sutra, he could not reach that old tree.

Clearly, this fruit was picked in advance and bestowed upon Helian Zhaoyu by a prominent figure in the Helian Family. If there are no surprises, it should be a gift from that Grandmaster.

Wu Yaozu said, "They even allocate special resources to him and give him preferential treatment?"

"It's a pity I didn't give him the Vajra Fruit," Xiang Yiwu said.

Two days later, the Immortal Path Ancestor transmitted a message, ordering everyone to leave the Immortal Grave area.

Immediately, everyone fled far away, and all the spaceships took off, entering the boundless desert.

"What happened?" Many people felt a chill run down their spines.

In the area of Immortal Grave, a thick fog rose, breaking through the original night fog. The white Immortal Mist obscured the sky, a vast expanse without boundaries.

"Something terrible might have happened. There are living creatures in those large graves!"

How is that possible?

Everyone was stunned.

A rumor has spread that there are Corpse Liberation Immortal and even Earth Immortal beneath the large tomb, making the place extremely terrifying and potentially a major, unfortunate event.

Fortunately, the days are long and the nights are short, so the daytime is still here.
