Breaking through the Heavenly Gate

After an autumn rain, the trees on the plains were almost all bare, and yellow leaves covered the ground.

Qin Ming already knew that Mu Guang City had been breached by demons, and the place was in a terrible state.

The corpses of the Fourth Realm cultivators hung on the city gate tower, their blood staining the city walls red. The scene inside the city was even more shocking, with bloodstains everywhere and buildings in ruins.

This time, both sides suffered heavy losses, with many skilled fighters killed.

Qin Ming muttered to himself, "This area is considered remote, but the fighting has come to this point. It seems the small-scale conflicts are ending, and a major battle is not far off."

He extracted the Auspicious Beast Blood and gave it to the Thunder King Bird, saying, "Consume it quickly and strive to improve yourself."

"Okay!" Thunder King Bird nodded gratefully. In this oppressive environment, a breakthrough in strength meant an increased chance of survival.

Qin Ming also took out a transparent spirit crystal, inside which was sealed a Treasured Medicine. It was quite large, almost the size of an adult's fist, and could be called a great pill.

Within its snow-white and crystalline appearance, there are also wisps of black veins flowing within it. This is the Dragon Tiger Pill, personally refined by the Immortal Path Ancestor Sun Taichu, a Great Medicine of astonishing value.

Although Qin Ming possessed Strange Blood, it was not enough for him to break through the major barrier.

Back then, he went on a trial in the God's Fall Plain with the people of the Six Royals Ancestral Court and obtained eight kinds of Strange Blood, which gave him New Life.

Now, he needs to break through this major hurdle, and he must use drastic measures to overcome it.

Qin Ming muttered to himself, "There's nothing to regret. Precious medicines are meant to aid cultivation. A battle Grandmaster Level could erupt at any moment, and the Demon Civilization is bound to go mad. In such a large-scale bloodbath, I need to ensure my own survival first."

Moreover, as his strength increases, he can obtain more resources from the battlefield.

The Immortal Seed An Youxing died in battle deeply affected Qin Ming.

"He might be able to escape, but as Immortal Seed, if he were to lead such a charge, it would undoubtedly result in a crushing defeat. He was very resolute, choosing to fight the opposing Heavenly Demon Seed to the death, severely injuring them and forcing the two demons to temporarily retreat."

This also shows that even the Immortal Seed seeds are not accompanied by so-called protectors. Perhaps there is a shortage of manpower, or perhaps the Immortal Path wants them to cross the line between life and death on their own, using the bloody war between the two civilizations to hone the true seeds, with the winner taking all.

"Most of the current Sixth Realm Ancestor Grandmaster, Immortal Seed, and God Seed who survived the great battle on the God's Fall Plain four hundred and fifty years ago."

Qin Ming believed this was a life-or-death trial.

The main issue is that the situation is indeed extremely critical. If any further unforeseen events occur, he can no longer rely on the support of experts behind him; he will have to depend on himself for everything.

Qin Ming broke the spirit crystal in half, took out the Treasured Medicine, crushed it into several pieces, and put it into his mouth.

In the blink of an eye, faint sounds of Dragon Roar Tiger Howl emanated from the mountaintop, and the Great Medicine began to take effect.

A wave of heat surged through his limbs and bones; the medicine was extremely potent. Phantom images of dragons and tigers appeared, followed by a mysterious Daoist aura that flowed and covered his body.

Qin Ming remained calm, sitting cross-legged on a boulder, waiting for the medicinal effects to fully dissipate.

"I'm probably no match for a Late Third Realm Immortal Seed or Heavenly Demon Seed in the Second Realm," he muttered to himself. This was one of the reasons he wanted to break through to the next realm as soon as possible.

During this period, the Heavenly Demon Seed he killed, as well as the seeds of the Nomadic Hunting Civilization, were all in the Early-Third Realm.

Through his battle with the Silver War Beast, he further assessed his own limits.

In a normal duel, he would definitely not be a match for the Fourth Realm being. This time, he ultimately succeeded by launching an ambush, and the combination of the Torn Cloth, the blue Treasured Medicine, and other items greatly enhanced his combat power.

Even so, he took the life-saving purple potion multiple times.

Without the Treasured Medicine to prolong his life, he would have been crippled several times over.

The Dragon Tiger Pill dissolved, Yin and Yang harmonized, and its rich Daoist essence not only surged into Qin Ming's flesh and blood but also flowed into his Spirit Domain and merged into his Heavenly Light.

"What wonderful medicine!" he exclaimed.

On the mountaintop under the cover of night, a strange sight appeared before Qin Ming: wisps of Silver Light fell from the void, and a faint dark Dark Light spread out and entered his body.

This is the Dragon Tiger Pill, which draws upon the spiritual energy of the void, invokes the blessings of the Dao, and helps people break through major obstacles.

Qin Ming stood up, and at that moment, he timely fused with a wind-attribute otherworldly substance, which, like the origin of "Yellow Dragon," was obtained from the Sacred Fiend of the Sun Elf Race.

Once he reaches the Third Realm, he will draw upon certain methods and experiences from the <Overlord's Testament>, and the wind-attribute Sacred Fiend will be of great use to him.

In fact, back in the Great Yu Capital, the Sun Elf Race had prepared one of the Four Saintly Evils, but it was intercepted by Grandmaster Su Yuxiao of the Immortal Path and bought at a high price.

Qin Ming chuckled and said, "Let him be."

The other party wanted to stop him from collecting all Four Saintly Evils, but little did they know that he had already integrated them into one body.

In this great era, some people stand tall, see far, and have a grand vision, while others are always focused on their limited little plot of land. There are all kinds of people.

"As expected, no matter when, once you begin fusing the Sacred Fiend, your lifespan will be shortened."

Fortunately, he now has the Yin-Yang Treasured Medicine to remedy the situation, and his lifespan has not decreased but increased.

In the night sky, wisps and strands of Black and White Daoist energy seeped down, connecting with Qin Ming's body, strengthening his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and spirit, and helping him Heavenly Gate.

This mysterious "matter," or rather, the essence of this enigmatic phenomenon, truly astonished Qin Ming. Was a single pill really that powerful?

"I can be that extravagant too, pushing my limits like that."

Regardless of the path chosen, scarce resources are indispensable for going further.

Comparatively speaking, the Great Medicine and rare items he consumed was certainly less than the amount of seeds available on the Immortal Path.

After all, this Yin-Yang Grand Pill was originally refined by Sun Taichu, so Cui Chonghe certainly didn't lack it.

For Li Qingxu, Cao Qianqiu even braved a real "Dragon Sucking Water phenomenon" to find "Dragon Blood" for his disciple.

Subsequently, Qin Ming began practicing the <Earth Magnetism Scripture>, Extraordinary Art meticulously researched by Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan, with corresponding secret texts above it.

Once he reaches the Third Realm and enters the realm of Spiritual Field, this scripture will be of great value to him.

He had already mastered the Earth Magnetism Force, and now with the help of the Treasured Medicine, he would naturally soon bring this force technique to its peak.

Soon after, Qin Ming made a sword-wielding gesture with both hands, his whole body glowing, as if he were standing in the Great Sun, extremely dazzling.

Then, he slowly Sword-Drawing out of the void. Although there was nothing there, as he moved, a clear sword sound rang out from the mountaintop, accompanied by a dazzling sword light that expanded outwards.

He was practicing the Elf Race's <Sun Immortal Sword Art>.

Startled after consuming the Auspicious Beast Blood, the Thunder King Bird quickly flapped its wings and flew into the night sky, as the sword light from before had almost reached it.

As Qin Ming moved, a sword hilt actually appeared in his hand, which was in a loose grip, accompanied by a large number of golden characters.

With a clang, he drew a golden longsword, illuminating the night sky. The chilling sword intent and terrifying sword light surged outward like a storm.

"Quite impressive, its power is remarkable." Qin Ming was satisfied and withdrew his hand at the right time, not unleashing the One Sword.

In his hands, the Sun Immortal Sword Art was significantly stronger than in Li Guang's hands. He activated it with the Heavenly Light that was infused with Divine Wisdom and consciousness, and with a brief moment of Sword-Drawing, he already possessed the power to slay all enemies.

Qin Ming absorbed the Sacred Fiend and practiced Extraordinary Art. Finally, he sat cross-legged on the boulder and silently circulated his Fundamental Scripture — the Silk Book Method.

After an unknown amount of time, the wisps of light in the void space grew even brighter, trembling slightly. Qin Ming, whose entire body was imbued with Daoist energy, emitted a dazzling Golden Haze.

At this moment, his flesh and blood were translucent, his spirit was exceptionally vigorous, and with the Dragon-Tiger Unity, he broke through the barrier of the Heavenly Gate and officially stepped into the Third Realm — the Spiritual Field!

The night passed, and he felt no fatigue whatsoever; he was in better shape than ever before.

Qin Ming stood atop the mountain, his long hair billowing in the Shallow Night breeze, his entire body shimmering. Nearby, the space seemed to distort and blur.

He was experiencing the changes within himself; the Heavenly Light from the heavens grew increasingly intense, expanding and spreading outwards, and his body became more resilient, forming a kind of field.

It is spiritual and extraordinary, capable of actively drawing in Spiritual Matter from heaven and earth, and absorbing Worldly Heavenly Light, much like a magnet attracting iron filings.

"The human body blends with the Heavenly Light, like a hazy Spiritual Field."

Qin Ming tested his skills for the first time, and invisible ripples expanded around his body, instantly shredding any approaching opponent. As he Exerted Effort, it was as if his area had become its own little world.

He opened his Eye of New Life and saw wisps of Spiritual Field lines covering every inch of space, protecting him within them.

"Regarding Spiritual Field, there are various powerful systems, some of which are renowned, such as the Mount Sumeru Field and the Heavenly Demon Force Field, all of which are incredibly powerful."

However, for ordinary New Life Evolver, let alone those legendary Spiritual Field, and most of them are flawed.

"I broke through using the Silk Book Method, and the initial Spiritual Field I formed was flawless, evenly distributed, and astonishing in both defense and offense."

However, this is only the initial form. As his cultivation and realm improve, his Spiritual Field will undergo further transformation.

Without a doubt, after Qin Ming broke through to the Third Realm, he was filled with the aura of New Life. From his physical body to his Divine Capital, it was as if he had undergone Nirvana, and his strength increased significantly.

He didn't stop, but began to refine his Heavenly Light Force and hone his Spiritual Field.

He would never forget the fates of the several Ancestor, all of whom ultimately exploded.

Although Qin Ming felt that he had solved the problem of Silk Book Method, he was still quite cautious, and would refine his Heavenly Light Force a thousand times each time he broke through a barrier.

Throughout the "morning," Thunderfire erupted here, and wind and thunder rumbled. His Heavenly Light and Spiritual Field overlapped and merged into one, constantly compressing and Golden Core in the furnace, and then he released and disintegrated it, causing it to rush out of his body.

Qin Ming had never gone through such a difficult time when he broke through his cultivation barrier. This time, he spent a full half-day refining the Golden Core Spiritual Field hundreds of times until he felt it was perfect and without any flaws before he stopped.

"Upon reaching the Third Realm, one can still practice Extraordinary Art, and will also gain access to secret manuals."

In theory, Extraordinary Art can shine brightly in the Third Realm, which is still a glorious moment, and can even be practiced to the middle and late stages of the Fourth Realm, but they are not very useful in the Fifth Realm.

Therefore, Qin Ming was not in a hurry to change his practice of the secret manual.

He stretched his body, feeling an inexhaustible power. After breaking through to the Spiritual Field Domain, he had a strange feeling that he was incredibly powerful, as if he could shatter the night sky with a single punch and break through all obstacles. He couldn't wait to beat Cao Qianqiu up.

"Calm down. You're only at the Early-Third Realm; you can't float into the sky yet." He knew this was due to a temporary imbalance between his mind and body caused by his rapid increase in power.

He then consolidated his newfound understanding and fully adapted to the change.

"Well, in any case, in the great conflict between Night Prefecture and the Demon Civilization, if everyone is blinded by rage, I will have a basic ability to protect myself."

Of course, this only applies to remote areas. If one were to enter the Ancestor Battlefield, even Grandmaster would be reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.

The Thunder King Bird landed, filled with joy. Its feathers were a vibrant purple, and the electric light emanating from them was even more intense, giving it a more powerful aura.

"Master, for New Life Evolver to establish yourself in the Third Realm at this age is truly Anomalies, incredibly rare."

This time, it actually called it that.

Qin Ming felt uncomfortable and stopped it, saying, "No, let's call each other brothers. Just call me Brother Qin. How are you?"

The Thunder King Bird said, "I'm practicing a Secret Method and am currently accumulating power. Most of the auspicious Blood Essence has been gathered this time, and I should be able to break through to the Fourth Realm in a while."

"Can it transform into Thunder Royal Bird?" Qin Ming asked it with a smile.

"Alas, the Imperial Bird represents the upper limit of our race's endowment, and their numbers are very small. The best among the Imperial Bird are equivalent to Immortal Seed. Although I yearn for it, I know very well that I can never reach that level in this lifetime." The Thunder King Bird shook its head.

It was an optimist; after a brief moment of distraction, it smiled again. It was already quite content with its current achievements.

In fact, it knew very well that it could probably only accompany Qin Ming in battle for a period of time. As the opponent's strength increased significantly, there would eventually come a day when it could not keep up with the opponent's pace.

"Hmm, I can brag to my descendants later, 'See? That Ancestor Qin, who could slay Earth Immortal in the Sixth Realm, was once my partner!'" It had already begun to fantasize like this.

Qin Ming said, "Nothing is absolute. Deep within the Night Mist World, there are countless mysterious regions. Perhaps there are rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures, exotic flowers and fruits, etc., that can help you strengthen your bones and marrow, and improve your talents. If you start exploring new lands in the future, anything is possible."

The Thunder King Bird knew this was just a consolation. In truth, if it could become Grandmaster when it grew old, it would be utterly content.

A moment later, Qin Ming's extremely dense Heavenly Light and fused consciousness actually broke free from the constraints of his physical body and stepped into the void on his own.

Although the Thunder King Bird hadn't just discovered him, seeing him in this state still made it hard for it to remain calm. This state looked like Pure Yang Transformation of Consciousness Spirit Light, belonging to the path of immortals.

Qin Ming left a small portion of his consciousness within his physical body. Then, he donned Torn Cloth, took the Exotic Metal Small Sword, and soared into the Chongxiao.

Now his physique is extremely strong. Having mastered the Flesh Body Chapter, Nirvana and entered the Third Realm. Even with pure physical strength, he can fight against demons of the same realm.

This will allow him to travel far away without worry.

Wrapped in Torn Cloth, obscuring the brilliant Heavenly Light, Qin Ming broke through the night fog at incredible speed, passed through thick clouds, and finally stood high in the sky.

Although the place is open, it still gives people a sense of desolation, mainly because it is empty, empty, and too quiet.

Having broken free from the constraints of his physical body, Qin Ming was finally able to traverse the night sky, pierce through clouds and mist, and disappear into the distance in an instant—a rather novel experience.

He flew upwards again, with Astral Wind howling in the sky, followed by streaks of light and the falling of dangerous, mysterious substances.

Upon reaching a certain altitude, he began to feel unwell. Some of the strange substances in the sky could harm his consciousness, and the Astral Wind were even more terrifying, carrying wisps of violent Daoist energy that seemed capable of dispersing his dense Heavenly Light.

"Although there are Torn Cloth for protection, it's best not to venture too far into a place like this if it's your first time." Originally, Qin Ming wanted to try to reach higher ground and see what this secluded place was really like.

"There's plenty of time; we can explore it slowly." He said with a joyful expression.

Because, when one arrives above the dark clouds and beneath the vast sky, there are occasional drops of Heavenly Light and streams of fire, some of which are extremely beneficial to cultivation.

"Above the heavens lies a treasure trove waiting to be explored!"

Qin Ming pondered that since those who Immortal Path can undergo Tribulation Crossing in the heavens under the guidance of their elders, experiencing various strange substances and mysterious phenomena to temper their Consciousness Spirit Light Pure Yang Transformation, he might also be able to learn from this and improve his strength in the heavens.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, he saw a dark shadow appear in the distance. In this desolate and empty place, the sudden movement was quite frightening.

In an instant, Qin Ming sank and entered the dark clouds.

The other party actually moved towards him, breaking through the clouds and rapidly approaching.

Soon, Qin Ming sensed what it was; it turned out to be several Bird Demon.

"No wonder I've been feeling something's off lately. They've been hiding in the clouds, spying on us. Could it be that they're planning something?"

In an instant, Qin Ming flew across the sky on his Sword Riding, and with a series of soft thuds, the heads of several Bird Demon were cleaved off and plummeted from the sky.

One of the Bird Demon was very old, probably in the Mid-to-Late Third Realm.

"These old folks have no martial ethics; they're always thinking about bullying me, a young boy!" Qin Ming surveyed the area above the clouds.

Finally, he felt unwell and estimated that he had been separated from his physical body for about an hour. His mind began to tire, and he didn't want to push himself too hard.

With a whoosh, he swooped down and returned to his body. He immediately felt refreshed and warm, like a fish out of water returning to the lake or sea, or a plant that had been separated from the soil taking root in the earth again.

When the Thunder King Bird saw him return, it breathed a sigh of relief. Just a moment ago, six bird carcasses had fallen with a thud not far away, which had really startled it.

Qin Ming's expression was solemn. The enemy was still up to no good. Black White Sparrow and Huang Fei, the Jade Emperor's younger brother, had both perished here, someone had their eyes on him.

Moreover, he had also killed two Heavenly Demon Seed at White Elephant Ridge. The demons in that area were probably sharpening their knives as well. All things considered, the Bloody Grudge was truly considerable.

"Why hasn't the Ancestor made his move yet?" Qin Ming asked suspiciously.

On that very day, a terrifying explosion suddenly came from afar. In the depths of the plains opposite, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the night sky, flames roared, and magnetic field lines twisted across the sky.

"Master-level figures are fighting!" Qin Ming was truly astonished.

The occurrence of such a major battle in this remote place is clearly unusual.

"Is this a preemptive strike by experts from Night Prefecture, as retaliation for breaking into Mu Guang City?" Qin Ming speculated.

He originally thought that there would be a fierce fight in the Ancestor Battlefield.

Unexpectedly, it was still this remote place.

Qin Ming's expression was solemn. The later Grandmaster Level expert leaves the battlefield, the more terrifying they become, which means that the final battle will unfold like a landslide or a tsunami.

Half an hour later, two figures appeared, their auras quite terrifying. They were both very old, but Qin Ming did not ride the Thunder King Bird away. Instead, he waited in place.

Two wounded, Higher Aberrant Bird arrived, carrying two old men—it was Yu Gensheng and Jin Yuan. Surprisingly, they were the ones who launched the attack today.

"Child, I'm so glad you're alright." Both of them were covered in blood, but they were smiling.

"Seniors, you went to attack the other side?" Qin Ming asked, looking surprised.

"Yesterday, the Demon Civilization destroyed our Mu Guang City. How could we not make them pay a bloody price? Today, we will naturally fight back," Yu Gensheng said, his more than a hundred hairs, all stained with blood, fluttering in the wind.

In this battle, the two of them, along with two others from the Esoteric Sect and the Immortal Path, totaling four Master, not only thoroughly ravaged this remote area but also shattered the demon army in the neighboring territory.

"We killed two Master of the Demon Civilization, and another demon Master's physical body was destroyed, Consciousness Spirit Light escaped," Jin Yuan said. This was their battle record.

As for other levels of demons, they were killed even more; every one they could see was plowed away.

"Senior Jin, your nephew..." Qin Ming began.

Clearly, Jin Yuan arranged for him to be here because he considered his nephew's status and wanted that person to look after him.

As a result, Jin Yuan's junior apprentice was killed in battle ahead of schedule.

Jin Yuan sighed, "How can war be fought without casualties? Even Master have fallen."

He has been back for over ten days, and after taking extremely rare and precious Great Medicine, he is now completely healthy.

"Little Qin, if an invincible old demon appears on your side, flee far away immediately. Don't try to fight it head-on," Yu Gensheng said.

Jin Yuan sent a message to Yu Gensheng, saying that Qin Ming had killed four Heavenly Demon Seed, and Old Yu immediately rushed over.

Clearly, Jin Yuan and Yu Gensheng were very vigilant. They felt that if four Heavenly Demon Seed died, someone on the other side might target Qin Ming. Since Night Prefecture was looking to avenge the destruction of Mu Guang City, the two immediately made contact with two other Master and launched a powerful attack today.

Regardless of whether they harbored any intention of revenge, the entire group of demons was wiped out.

"A major event of ' Heavenly Change ' magnitude could happen at any time on the main battlefield, so be careful here!" the two warned.

They were in a hurry to leave.

Because experts of their caliber, if physically unharmed, would typically remain in charge of a region.

"Senior, I have killed a demon of the Fourth Realm."

Before leaving, when the two saw the corpse of the Silver War Beast, they were both shocked and found it hard to believe that a young boy had killed it all by himself.

"After killing it, I also broke through to the Third Realm," Qin Ming told me.

When Yu Gensheng and Jin Yuan left, Divine Capital somewhat dazed, their faces trembling slightly, feeling that this was utterly absurd!

In the following days, Qin Ming honed his Spiritual Field, studied the "Overlord's Testament," and comprehended various True Scripture, patiently waiting for the tranquility to be broken.

During this period, the Thunder King Bird would go out every day to gather information about Qin Ming's acquaintances.

"Mountain Lord, I've finally met you."

On the sixth day, a familiar voice rang out. Talking Finch, standing on the back of the Thunder King Bird, appeared before Qin Ming, complaining bitterly with snot and tears streaming down her face.

"How did you get here?" Qin Ming was genuinely surprised.

"Let's leave me aside for now. Mountain Lord, you have a brother in a dangerous area. You need to go check on him. The Immortal Seed and God Seed there are fighting and killing each other with the Heavenly Demon Seed of the demon camp. He's not very safe in that area."

"Hmm?" Qin Ming originally didn't care about the sword fight, but since that area involved his acquaintances and brothers, he couldn't sit still any longer.

After breaking through the barrier, he has not yet tested the sword's edge. If necessary, he will naturally wield the Sword Riding to slay demons, bathe in the blood of future Heavenly Fiend, and relieve his old friend's distress.
