Two Dragons

In the harsh winter, the earth is covered in silver, and strange birds occasionally soar across the night sky.

Many large organizations were quite shocked upon receiving the latest news.

"Lu Zizai, with Qin Ming in tow, actually traveled thousands of miles to the Cui Family Ancestral Land family to intercept their Old Ancestor — Cui Geng!"

The major powers have received secret intelligence that Lu Zizai was searching for Cui Geng while at the Cui Household residence, and now he has gone on a long journey to track him down. Is he planning to destroy the ancestor of the Cui Household?

"Hiss, Lu Zizai is standing up for Qin Ming with such force, it's not just a formality. It seems he really wants to take drastic measures. Is he going to eliminate the Cui Household at its root?"

Many leaders of large organizations gasped in shock at the night fog, their hearts pounding. Had Cui Zu not left quickly, something terrible might have happened.

Esoteric Sect, Aristocratic Clan, and various Daoist lineages were all studying the latest materials on their desks. They never expected that Lu Zizai would go to such lengths for Qin Ming.

"Lu Zizai single-handedly overpowered an entire clan, and that clan was Millennium Aristocratic Family!"

Deep within the Beyond the Mundane Pure Land, Cui Chonghe was waiting for his teacher to emerge from seclusion when he suddenly received the latest news that Lu Zizai visited the Cui Family Ancestral Land. He could no longer sit still and struck the snow-white, lustrous jade bell in the bamboo forest.

"What is it?" Sun Taichu stepped out of the thatched hut at the edge of the earth, and in just a few steps, he arrived in the bamboo forest where golden light and rain were rising.

"Master, Lu Zizai is targeting my Cui Household and may very well resort to Black Hand. I would like to ask you for your assistance."

Lu Zizai first visit the Cui Residence and then go to the clan's Ancestral Land had a significant impact, causing some of the Cui Household's enemies to become restless and want to do something.

The current environment is not suitable for starting a clan war, but making some small moves is not a problem.

At the Cui Residence, many people were on high alert, because on that very day they received various reports: someone had stolen a batch of valuable spiritual herbs, others said their Spirit Artifact shop was selling counterfeit goods, and still others claimed that an unknown force had attacked their large mine that produced Secret Metal.

"Lu Zizai, Qin Ming!" In the Cui Household's small Blessed Land, Father Cui, Cui Qi, had a cold expression and muttered through gritted teeth. He knew that the "aftereffects" of the two men's visit had appeared.

At the same time, he felt humiliated. Today, he and his wife were sent flying by Lu Zizai's invisible aura, smashing through doors and windows, leaving them in a sorry state.

He was the powerful figure in the secular world of the Cui Household, yet he was being looked down upon like this in his own mansion, and no one took it seriously. Now, there was still blood on the corner of his mouth.

"Calm down, don't be impatient!" said the Cui Household's Master, who was over two hundred years old.

Cui Qi nodded and said, "Yes, Grandfather, please rest assured, I was just feeling frustrated for a moment. I can handle these things calmly."

In an instant, he reverted to his usual serious, cold, and rigid demeanor, showing no emotional fluctuations.

He spoke indifferently, saying, "Let them be successful for now. A hundred years from now, when we look back, what will these little ripples matter!"

He gazed into the distance where snowflakes were falling and said, "I have three sons. My youngest is Otherworlder, and my eldest and second sons are both dragons among men. Two hundred years from now, they may well be able to avenge me today!"

Upon hearing this, the Cui Household's Master also showed a gratified expression, nodding and looking forward to the future. The day when the two dragons of the Cui Household soar to the sky will be the day their entire clan is revived!

At that point, a family might have two or even Third Ancestor; who could possibly stand against them?

Most importantly, the two dragons lurking in the Cui Household have boundless potential. According to the reclusive master, both of them will be able to stir up the winds and clouds of the world in the future, and both have the great power to tear apart the dark Sky Curtain!

Cui Qi said in a deep voice, "Even if it is Lu Zizai, so what? When my son rises to power, he will surely ascend to the Six Royals Ancestral Court to demand an explanation from you!"

The Cui Household's Master immediately intervened, saying, "Don't Say More such things!"

Cui Qi nodded and said, "You are my grandfather, so I naturally don't need to hide my true feelings in front of you."

His grandfather, with his deep, unfathomable eyes, said, "That Qin Ming might be a menace in the future."

Cui Qi said, "Don't worry, in the next hundred years, he will be left far behind by Chong He, not to mention the much older Chongxiao."

The Cui Household's Master nodded. "Yes, based on our Old Ancestor's research on Silk Book Method, Qin Ming should still be following the New Life Path. That method is very domineering and will devour Divine Wisdom, Consciousness Spirit Light, making it difficult to increase speed later on."

Cui Qi's gaze was deep as he said, "If we don't give him that Silk Scripture now, without the subsequent interpretations of the text, he will inevitably be delayed for some time."

The Cui Family Grandmaster shook his head and said, "Ancestor Cui Geng cannot delay this matter for too long, otherwise, if it displeases Lu Zizai, it will cause big trouble."

They speculated that the New Life Path had almost destroyed this True Scripture, after all, it had caused the deaths of several Ancestor and had been proven to be a dead end.

Perhaps, only one silk Silk Scripture remains in the world.

Cui Qi said, "Actually, it wouldn't hurt to give it to him. The speed of the New Life Path can't compare to the Immortal Path or the Esoteric Sect. Besides, he'll probably explode on his own later on."

Previously, the Cui Household family had conducted a thorough analysis.

The only thing that worried them was that Qin Ming had actually mastered the Primal Chaos Force on his own without any guidance, which was a bit outrageous. Therefore, the core leadership did not want him to come into contact with the later chapters of the True Scripture scripture.

The Cui Household's Master spoke in a low voice, his old eyes gleaming with a brilliant light, "Our Cui Household Eternal Presence for nearly two thousand years; it's time for our accumulated strength to erupt. In this generation, perhaps a Heavenly God and a Heavenly Immortal will emerge!"

He was very satisfied; both his children were able to remain calm and know how to be patient.

As far as he knew, Cui Chongxiao had mastered two Sect-Suppressing Level True Scripture Esoteric Sect, and had also studied the <Body Refining and Dao Integration Scripture> quite deeply. If he could comprehend this scripture and reach the perfect state, he could Body Slaying Divine Spirits!

Besides inheriting the mantle of Ancestor Sun and learning True Scripture Sect-Suppressing Level, Cui Chonghe also mastered the legendary "Undying Immortal Scripture," but he never used it.

Cui Qi nodded and said, "Qin Ming, I underestimated him. However, the two dragons of my Cui Household will be even more outstanding than him in the future, becoming Path-Opening Ancestor two hundred years ahead of him. Let's see how he catches up and how he can endure this period of time."

Cui Chongxiao, the future Heavenly God whom the Cui Household has been talking about, is an extremely valiant young man who is currently accompanying his master through a perilous place.

Qin Ming had met this person briefly when he was at the Cui Household.

Cui Chongxiao was eight years older than him. He used to come home once every year or two, but later he rarely came home for three or four years, as he spent his days Secluded Cultivation Esoteric Sect.

A strange bird flew over carrying a letter and landed on Cui Chongxiao's shoulder. He unfolded the letter and frowned.

His master spoke, "If you wish to reach the Seventh Realm, or even glimpse the Heavenly God Domain, you must cultivate Immovable Fundamental Heart. Even if the abyss shatters before your eyes, or the night is torn apart, you must maintain a peaceful State of Mind, not allowing external factors to create ripples in your Heart Lake. To slay gods with your physical body and defy the will of heaven with your spirit, you must first make your own body and spirit indestructible!"

Cui Chongxiao bowed and said, "Yes, Master, external factors will not leave a mark on my mind."

"Senior Brother Lu, if you go deep into the Night Mist World, please take good care of yourself!" Qin Ming said with some reluctance as they parted.

If Lu Zizai were to leave now, who knows when they would meet again.

The Vast and Boundless world was shrouded in darkness, and the road ahead was so dangerous. In some places along the way, there were clearly Earth Immortal guarding the area, and even the Path-Opening Ancestor had to stay far away from them.

Lu Zizai said, "I'll be waiting for you ahead, watching you pave the way for the New Life System!"

He then added that he wouldn't set off immediately, but would have to wait a while. The scriptures Qin Ming had given him were extremely important, and he needed to study them carefully.

Moreover, he sets off without making a sound.

Qin Ming understood his intentions. The reason why Lu Zizai was so high-profile at the Cui Household this time, and even wanted to take action against Cui Geng, was just to show his attitude.

From now on, anyone who wants to mess with Qin Ming will have to think twice!

The two parted ways, and Qin Ming set off alone.

In the vast snowfield, he followed the place names provided by the Cui Household and explored the area.

Unfortunately, more than a decade has passed, and finding traces of an ordinary old man in a sea of people is no easy task. Despite his extensive inquiries, he found nothing.

"My grandfather and an Old Traveling Merchant have passed away; hopefully, this line will yield some results."

However, he was still disappointed. The Old Traveling Merchant had disappeared three years ago, and after his last journey leading a group, he never returned.

Qin Ming was quite shocked; the Old Traveling Merchant was actually over two hundred years old.

People in this industry spend their days in darkness, venturing into uninhabited areas, and eventually end up living lives that are neither human nor ghost.

Between different cities, in areas without Fire Spring, there are all sorts of strange and dangerous places.

Legends tell of itinerant Old Traveling Merchant who live past 100 years old; their lives are filled with Say More and inexplicable things, such as 𫆏, which is one of them.

Qin Ming had also encountered this before, and almost got into danger.

The ultimate fate of most itinerant merchants is to disappear into the darkness and vanish completely.

An Old Traveling Merchant who is over two hundred years old is probably no longer himself.

Qin Ming was filled with worry, but in the end he could only sigh; this connection had been severed.

He rode the Thunder King Bird to the so-called Ancestral Land home, only to find it desolate, with only broken walls and ruins remaining. The place had been burned to the ground.

Qin Ming searched carefully, concentrating intently to sense things. He made some discoveries, but none of them were important clues.

The Fire Calamity was caused by ball lightning, which suddenly fell from the night sky. The neighbors screamed in terror as they watched the long-abandoned house turn to ashes.

With a soft whisper, Qin Ming was filled with sorrow.

Because he had a feeling that he might never see his grandfather again in this life. Life is full of disappointments, and he felt powerless.

He had once imagined that his grandfather was someone extraordinary, but through New Life and the revival of his childhood memories, he carefully observed those scenes and realized that his grandfather was really just an ordinary person.

This isn't a story from a fairy tale; it's cold reality, devoid of many legends. Another winter of heavy snow has arrived; will the old man survive it?

Perhaps his grandfather has already passed away.

After all, the old man himself had sadly mentioned back then that with his physical condition, he only had ten more years to live, and he hoped that Qin Ming would grow up quickly and be able to take good care of himself.

Filled with sorrow and utter dejection, Qin Ming walked away into the snowstorm with a heart full of loss.

At this moment, he felt a tightness in his chest and wanted to return to Double Tree Village.

Black White Mountain, Double Tree Village, today some old guests return.

Talking Finch soared across the night sky, braving the wind and snow, before flapping its wings and returning.

Looking at the increasingly bright Fire Spring at the village entrance, it stared wide-eyed. How did the spring change from level one to level two?

Moreover, the two trees grew even more vigorously, remaining lush and verdant even in winter, their Black and White leaves distinct, like they were carved from jade.

Suddenly, its jewel-like eyes widened in shock, and it exclaimed, "Holy crap, my house's been robbed! How did this giant, crimson rat rise to power so quickly?"

Rain or shine, the Red Squirrel is practicing its skills in the tree, its movements powerful and graceful. It has mastered the "Golden Cicada Scripture" and the "Dragon Snake Scripture" with remarkable skill and has grasped their essence.

Clearly, it spotted the returning Talking Finch immediately, and even keenly heard its words, responding "enthusiastically" with, "Damn it..."

The Talking Finch immediately swooped down and engaged it in battle!

Clearly, the Red Squirrel is no match for it.

However, this also greatly surprised Talking Finch. It had been fraught with difficulties and adventures outside, having been to Kunling and even entered the Western Territory Battlefield, and its strength had improved extremely quickly. However, the red rat hiding in the rear was not slowing down either.

"What did you say? The mountain lord came back, fed you, and gave you Extraordinary Art? Really... I should have stayed in the village and lived off my parents!" Talking Finch felt more and more that the journey had been too arduous, and then she picked up the Red Squirrel and gave it a good beating.

"Damn it, I'm not convinced! I'll fight you to the death!" The Red Squirrel could talk now, its fur a brilliant red with gold. It immediately launched a flying kick and started fighting with the squirrel.

After a chaotic commotion, the two little creatures fought again before finally stopping.

"What? You're saying that people in the Black White Mountain's forbidden zone are sending you food? It contains Spiritual Matter, I really want to cry... It's so nice to be living off your parents!" Talking Finch was extremely envious.

It decided to stay and gnaw on the food here for the time being!

"Song Zai, what's all the noise about? Oh, the Little Finch that went out traveling is back." Old Man Liu appeared and tried to calm him down.

He said, "You two must get along well. If I am no longer here, you will be the two dragons of Black White Mountain. Guard this place and watch over my grave."

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? You're in such good health, you're sure to live a thousand years, no, ten thousand years!" Talking Finch quickly stepped forward to greet him.

Old Man Liu sighed, "Seventy-three, eighty-four, two critical junctures. I'm seventy-three this year, and I have a feeling of unease. I probably won't make it through this winter. Alas."

Talking Finch comforted her, saying, "You've New Life several times; you're not an ordinary person. These two hurdles are nothing to worry about for you."

Old Man Liu looked somewhat bewildered, and sighed, "Lately, I've been having strange dreams. My ideal state is to die young, which would be the most perfect. Alas, life is rarely as one wishes. This winter might be my greatest calamity."

Qin Ming returned and approached Black White Village, where he could see the bright Fire Spring in the distance, as well as the Black White Twin Trees that were intertwined.

"Huh?" He was taken aback. The canopies of the two trees were distinctly Black and White, intertwined, resembling a Yin Yang Diagram, with Black and White energy slowly rotating.

This is truly bizarre; such a sight has never been seen before!

What shocked him most was that a living Yin-Yang Eyes actually appeared in the Black White Yin Yang Diagram!

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that they were two small creatures, each dwelling on a large tree, as if divine inspiration had brought them to life.

At the same time, a group of people officially entered Night Prefecture from that desolate and boundless dark land. Someone sighed, "After many years apart, I feel apprehensive as I approach my hometown, but I have finally returned."
