Sage Revival Still Wouldn't Be a Match

Night, strong wind, blizzard.

Helian Zhaoyu suddenly turned his head, his Divine Statue icy blades, as if he wanted to tear off two large chunks of flesh.

Qin Ming didn't look at him. Instead, braving the cold wind and trudging through the snow, he rushed forward, saying, "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry."

Helian Zhaoyu stared at his retreating figure, his eyes suddenly becoming incredibly deep.

Before the fight even officially began, the two were already clashing. Helian Zhaoyu was very aggressive, while Qin Ming was nonchalant and dealt with him with a calm and collected approach.

A group of people followed behind the two, walking through the frigid weather, some whispering and discussing.

"Why did Helian Zhaoyu challenge Qin Ming to a duel?" someone asked, puzzled.

Anyone could see that this was not a friendly exchange at all, but more like a premeditated challenge.

Qin Ming was a guest at the Pure Land, yet Helian Zhaoyu did this, showing not a trace of goodwill.

"You're so out of touch! Don't you even know this? In the Mountain City of the Sun Elf, Helian Zhaoyu and Wei Cheng tried to pressure Qin Ming but failed and ended up losing all their teeth. Knowing his personality, do you think he'd swallow that insult? He'd find an opportunity to strike even without a reason!"

"Actually, the main reason is that Helian Zhaoyu is ambitious and has his eye on the revived Eight Trigrams Furnace, which is a special weapon. It is rumored that Li Qingyue may have obtained the ' Law Manipulation ' to control it, and since she is close to Qin Ming, Helian Zhaoyu is probably afraid that she will be outmaneuvered..."

Immediately, the expressions on everyone's Divine Capital changed. The power of that special weapon was evident to all during the Western Territory War.

The broken Measuring Heaven Ruler in Leng Mingkong's hand, and the broken arrow wielded by He Lian Chengyun, had once slaughtered Demon God and Demon Immortal; their power was so immense that who wouldn't be envious?

"Isn't it still uncertain whether Li Qingyue has received the ' Law Manipulation '?"

There is no doubt that this matter is rife with undercurrents, and many people have already heard about it.

"By the time the news is confirmed, it will be too late. If there is any doubt, some people will definitely be tempted to take advantage!"

Especially Helian Zhaoyu, who has the backing of the Imperial Immortal Sect and an Old Ancestor who can slay immortals at the top, if he were to start by becoming dao companion, he would actually have a good chance of winning.

In the pitch-black world, the howling wind sounded like a vengeful ghost, instantly drowning out the chatter of some people.

Qin Ming suddenly stopped, and opposite him, Helian Zhaoyu, dressed in black, also stopped.

The night was as dark as an abyss, and a fierce wind whipped up a blizzard that crashed down.

In the distance, Golden Haze rippled across the Pure Land, and the vegetation was lush and verdant. The same sky and earth, so close to each other, presented two completely different scenes.

"You ask me if I ever shone brightly? Let me tell you, all these years I've been traversing the Night Mist World under a second identity, entering and leaving various forbidden lands, meeting all sorts of seeds, while you were still begging in Black White Mountain."

Clearly, Helian Zhaoyu cared a lot about Qin Ming's words, otherwise he wouldn't have responded with such a cold expression after catching up with him.

"You were already meeting with all sorts of people three years ago, and now you still can't look down on them?" Qin Ming looked at him in surprise.

Helian Zhaoyu discovered that every time he threw a heavy punch, his opponent would throw out a light "cotton" ball, making his efforts futile.

He took a deep breath and quickly calmed himself down.

He used Secret Method to transmit his voice, limited to the two of them, and said indifferently, "Others say you possess two kinds of blessings, but I know you are merely a seed on the New Life Path, a fusion of Heavenly Light and Consciousness Power. You can progress so quickly because you must have taken Great Medicine. Eventually, you will slow down and your true form will be revealed..."

"Get to the point!" Qin Ming interrupted him impatiently.

Helian Zhaoyu felt a surge of anger rising within him, almost bursting out of his skull. He realized that he and the other party could never be on the same path.

He spoke coldly, "In your current state, with your false dual-enhancement, you're not suited to be with Li Qingyue. You must understand that Immortal Seed of the fourth realm are always escorted by Jade-Armed Warriors when they travel. You, Immortal Seed on the New Life Path, will be lucky to even reach the Fourth Realm of Jade-Armed Warriors after your temples turn gray. In the Pure Land, Golden Haze clouds stretch for miles, and giant dragons soar through the sky; even Divine Medicine can be found on the beautiful cliffs. What is your usual living environment like? Just as you see before me, the wilderness is vast, the night is dark, the land is covered in ice and snow, and there is endless desolation. Having seen the sun and moon hanging in the sky, how can you be content to crawl in the mud like an ant, humbly begging for survival? Most importantly, Li Qingyue has obtained the ' Law Manipulation,' and you cannot protect her. Almost all the Ancestor are recuperating from their injuries; otherwise, this pool of water might be even more turbid."

Qin Ming remained calm and said, "No wonder he's Helian Yunji's grandson, just like him!"

Helian Zhaoyu stood with one hand behind his back, his black robes fluttering in the wind and snow, and said, "In short, it's far better for her to stand with me in the Imperial Immortal Sect than to be close to you; it will ensure her safety."

Qin Ming looked ahead and said, "You, a mere Immortal Seed, how could you possibly influence the decisions of all the Ancestor? You're overthinking it. Stop living in your own dream!"

Immediately, he opened his Eye of New Life and said, "You're... in the Third Realm? After all these years of accumulation, your cultivation is still so low. How dare you speak so arrogantly?"

Helian Zhaoyu spoke calmly, "What do you know? The realm I pursue is beyond your comprehension. It is the strongest domain among its kind, revered by ancient Sage, impervious to all laws. Wherever I stand, fellow cultivators retreat."

Then, standing with his chin raised and hands behind his back amidst the wind and snow, he said with considerable self-confidence, "I broke through the Heavenly Gate and stepped into the Fourth Realm a long time ago, and then Ten Thousand Refinements Method to forge myself back to the Third Realm. My domain is so vast that even if an ancient Sage were to resurrect and return to his youth, he might not be my match."

Qin Ming succinctly summarized, "Others have advanced, but your realm has fallen. You're really doing poorly!"

Helian Zhaoyu didn't want to Say More to him, because every powerful word and brilliant achievement ultimately felt like hitting cotton.

Qin Ming spoke up first, saying, "I'm different from you. I never turn back. Wherever I arrive, that's where I stand—the strongest domain."

Helian Zhaoyu's expression was cold; this opponent was even more arrogant and conceited than he was!

At this point, he didn't want to say another word; he only wanted to defeat his opponent immediately.

Seeing Qin Ming about to speak again, he quickly Sword-Drawing, not wanting to hear his nonchalant mockery any longer.

Snowflakes danced in the air, blanketing the endless snow-covered landscape.

Many people were excited and eagerly awaited a fierce battle.

Those in the know understand that Helian Zhaoyu is actually ridiculously strong. He was trained by Grandmaster Helian Yunji from a young age and was taken to various parts of the Night Mist World to hone his skills. For a period of time, he had an extremely strong killing intent, and even birds and beasts dared not approach him. He finally managed to dispel it by practicing Extraordinary Art.

Qin Ming has a brilliant record on the Western Territory Battlefield and is now shining brightly.

The pairing of these two together truly attracted the attention of everyone in the Pure Land community.

Qin Ming drew his sword, and after this period of nurturing, the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Saber was restored to its original state.

Helian Zhaoyu let out a long roar, and a rumbling avalanche erupted on the snow-capped mountain not far away, as if a thousand troops were swooping down.

At that very moment, he drew his sword. A dazzling sword light ripped through the white, snowy world and tore through the dark night sky, exceptionally brilliant.

In an instant, he unleashed dozens or even hundreds of sword beams, incredibly fast.

In that instant, the wind and snow seemed to stop, and time and space seemed to freeze in the sword light.

Only the surging Sword Qi sliced through the snowy night, flying towards the opponent ahead.

Qin Ming remained calm and composed as he wielded his Mutton Fat Jade Iron Saber, its blade gleaming like the Scorching Sun. This was the result of a perfect fusion of his Consciousness Spiritual Power, and Heavenly Light; if fully unleashed, all the Heavenly Demon Seed would be reduced to corpses!

Under the cover of night, the frozen snow suddenly burst open. In the glint of the blade, the world returned to normal, with howling winds and raging blizzards flying everywhere.

The flashes of blades and the Sword-Ray clashed fiercely, and the two figures, like gods and Gods and Devils traversing the night sky, instantly rose from the icy snowfield to the high heavens.

They could all briefly hover in the sky, swords clashing, flashes of Consciousness Spirit Light exploding, and Heavenly Light pouring down—it was truly terrifying beyond measure.

With a loud bang, the two landed, each stomping on the ground and causing it to shatter. Not only did the ground break apart, but large waves of snow rushed in all directions and into the sky.

In an instant, the battlefield where the two were located was completely submerged by white waves of snow.

Many spectators' pupils contracted upon witnessing this scene.

On the battlefield, large amounts of snowflakes fell again, like a waterfall cascading down.

In this endless, frigid world, two figures moved like lightning, shattering the night mist and crashing through the snowfall, constantly clashing swords and blades. If either of them made the slightest mistake, blood would splatter on the spot.

Qin Ming admitted that this was an extremely formidable opponent, a truly rare and formidable foe.

The two of them were like thunderbolts sweeping across the earth, and the pitch-black night sky, storms, and snowfalls were all thrown into chaos by them, leaving the entire area a vast expanse of white.

Only when the light of blades and swords flashes can their ghostly or godlike figures be seen; as swords clash, sparks fly and lightning erupts.

Li Qingxu arrived, somewhat silent. He was Realm Faction, and as he looked at the two figures on the battlefield, his brows furrowed, and he remained silent for a long time.

At this moment, everyone was intently watching the two people on the battlefield.

Even Li Qingyue was taken aback. She had great confidence in Qin Ming, but she hadn't expected Helian Zhaoyu to be so strong. The two had almost exchanged a hundred blows.

"Foolish cousin, you've been hiding your true colors very well," Helian Yaoqing whispered.

Wei Cheng, as Helian Zhaoyu's "close friend," was very easygoing. He didn't care; after all, it wasn't him who made the move. Winning or losing didn't matter; he would just take it in stride.

Pei Shuyan was solemn. He had long known that Helian Zhaoyu was no ordinary person, and today he finally saw the other party's true nature.

With a crack, as the two reached the top of a snow-capped mountain, the cliff broke apart, and heavy snow howled down, covering the sky and the earth.

Helian Zhaoyu spoke softly amidst the wind and snow, "I'm sorry, I tried my best, but I only managed to advance from the Fourth Realm to the Mid-Third Realm, dissolving some of the 'impurities' mixed in with my cultivation. From then on, my cultivation could not be advanced any further, as indestructible as an Immortal Golden Core."

He felt that the harvest season had arrived, and he had experienced the realm of inviolability of all laws, which was advocated by the ancient Sage. His peers had to bow their heads and retreat when they saw him.

Qin Ming, who shines brightly in the eyes of others, possesses two powers and has even slain future Heavenly Fiend, yet he has been stopped by him, and he has not even used his full strength yet!

Qin Ming chuckled amidst the wind and snow, saying, "In my opinion, if you hadn't used the Ten Thousand Refinements Method to break through your cultivation level, perhaps I would have retreated. As for you now, your so-called approach to the Ancient Sage Domain is merely a matter of barely getting close enough to see me!"

Helian Zhaoyu regretted speaking to him. He released his grip, and the dazzling sword shot into the night sky like a streak of light, bringing with it boundless pressure.

At that moment, the mountains and valleys shook, and the endless ice and snow seemed to boil, rumbling incessantly.

For a moment, the snow-capped mountain beneath his feet seemed to soar into the night sky, resonating with the flying sword.

Avalanches occurred on each mountain peak, creating an endless expanse of white, before the waves surged upwards into the vast sky.

To outsiders, when the snow waves surged up, all the mountains seemed to rise from the ground, creating a magnificent spectacle that resonated with the dazzling flying sword.

Helian Zhaoyu pointed, and the flying sword seemed to carry the power of the entire icy world as it slashed towards Qin Ming. The pitch-black night was thus made extremely dazzling, and this sword light seemed to become eternal.

Many people were shaken, and even those far away involuntarily retreated, as if a Sword Qi had slashed into their hearts.

Everyone knew that this was the ultimate technique of the Imperial Immortal Sect; not only could it control Sword Riding, but legend had it that Immortal Capital even control immortals.

Helian Zhaoyu's cold voice rang out. "All things can be controlled, the world is overturned by turbulent waves. Once the Imperial Immortal Sword is drawn, who in the three realms of the world cannot be slain?"

"You said that?" Qin Ming rode his sword, and around him, flames soared into the sky, thunder roared, and the fire on the earth and the Heavenly Thunder in the night sky were connected, as if the world was about to collapse.

"I said, once the Imperial Immortal Aura is unleashed, all things obey my command. Flowers dare not turn red, nights dare not turn black, and skies dare not turn blue!" Three streams of Qi rose from Helian Zhaoyu's body, like three rivers, which flowed into the flying sword, slicing through the night sky and descending.

Blade light surged beneath Qin Ming's feet, merging with Thunderfire and fire, while the light from his own fists was even more terrifying. One punch revealed life and death, another revealed Withering and Flourishing, with Black and White Light alternating to reflect the Yin- Yin Yang Diagram.

For those of you who haven't had dental implants, would you like to know what the experience is like? The sound of the drill, the insertion of metal pins... I'm still experiencing bleeding and pain. Please allow me to "live off" for a few days, writing about 3,000 words a day. I can't stay up late, so I need to rest. (This paragraph is not included in the paid word count.)
