"The Southwest Skyfall, and the Immortal Blood is in chaos..."

When the people from Pugong received the secret report, they were shocked. Something had happened back home?

Jian Huaidao, Xie Lin, and the others felt a chill run down their spines. Their lineages were connected to the Seven-Day Accumulator and Earth Immortal, so they were naturally quite worried.

The heavy snow and freezing weather couldn't compare to the chill in their hearts.

Those from Pugong who were traveling in Night Prefecture were eager to return immediately, but after calming down, they restrained their impulses, knowing that returning might bring a great crisis.

"The chaos caused by the Immortal Blood doesn't necessarily mean it will truly affect our clan," Jian Huaidao muttered to himself.

There are four transcendent lineages in Pugong that are involved in the Seventh Realm. Now that Earth Immortal has fallen, the unharmed Lineage may become even stronger as a result.

The Little Tathagata short, naturally curly hair and a sturdy build. His eyes gleamed with golden light as he muttered to himself, " Of the Four Great Earth Immortals Lineage, only two remain..."

A deep smile gradually spread across his face as he said, "In that case, the source of the Chaos Force, the strongest Sage still alive on the New Life Path, will be difficult to stop from reaching the Seventh Realm by using the Grotto-Heaven Ruins!"

The bloodshed and chaos in Pugong were only known in a small circle, and even the Grandmaster of Night Prefecture knew only a limited amount about it, mainly because the highest levels were keeping an eye on the situation.

Meanwhile, another piece of news caused a sensation, like a thunderclap in winter, sparking heated discussions from all sides.

"Kunling, deep within a mysterious space, shrouded in mist, the Earthen City has revived and Present World..."

On that very day, Grandmaster went to investigate.

Subsequently, several Ancestor arrived in person, all with extremely solemn expressions, showing great concern for this matter, even more so than for the chaos caused by the Pugong Earth Immortal.

In the mist, the Earthen City was quite astonishing, shaking almost every three days. The city was shrouded in mist, which shrouded the sky, with layers of ripples spreading out, carrying a fresh and vibrant life force.

"The revival of Earthen City means that Jade Capital is in motion. Is something big about to happen?" Even the Grandmaster Level figures were in turmoil.

According to records, Earthen City existed because of Jade Capital.

Even several "Grand Emperor" rushed over. For example, in the Past Tathagata, when the Buddha himself arrived, he opened his Dharma Eyes, and two golden beams of light directly reached the Earthen City.

In no time, all sorts of news flew around Night Prefecture.

Ordinary people were stunned; so much had happened recently.

Before the turmoil in the Golden Light Cave had subsided, Pugong immediately erupted in Immortal Blood. Now, another strange phenomenon has appeared: the mysterious Earthen City connected to the Jade Capital seems to be transcending reality and descending upon Night Prefecture.

Qin Ming, Xiang Yiwu, Wu Yaozu, and others returned together, discussing recent major events along the way.

They pondered that some of the Ancestor who returned from Pugong were probably loyal to Night Prefecture and provided the core secrets there, while others had probably strayed from their original intentions and sided with Pugong.

In any case, the tragedy at Golden Light Cave was quite beneficial to Night Prefecture, effectively cutting off the support of certain "wanderers" from their very foundation.

Perhaps, from this point on, they will be forced to stand on the side of Night Prefecture again.

Human nature is complex; it cannot be simply black and white.

Some people and things can be corrected, and one's stance can be changed.

Of course, the return of the "Grand Emperor" and his re-entry into the central government of various religious Ancestral Court to engage in a power struggle with forceful means is undeniable and not a mere performance.

Qin Ming, Xiang Yiwu, and the others were not at a high enough level to know that the Golden Light Cave was involved in the ultimate truth of the Immortal Grave.

After returning to Night Prefecture, they will soon part ways. Wu Yaozu plans to cultivate himself while enjoying the beauty of nature.

Qin Ming, on the other hand, wanted to return to Red Haze City, because it was Meng Xinghai's territory, which was relatively safe, and it also contained the Thunderfire Alchemy Hall that he needed.

This time, he set his sights on the real Thunderfire.

Xiang Yiwu's expression was very solemn. He was going to return to the Tathagata Sect, and it was very likely that he would have to fight against the disciples of the Past Tathagata Lineage had mastered the Chaos Force.

On the way, he asked Qin Ming for a lot of "tips and tricks".

He said in a deep voice, "Yes, not everyone is like you, brother, who can integrate so many Extraordinary Art skills and techniques. My improved Tathagata Force may not be weaker than the Chaos Force of the Past Tathagata Lineage!"

In fact, through discussions with him and research on how to deal with the Past Tathagata's teachings, Qin Ming also learned a lot about the situation there.

Although the general principles are all Silk Book Method, the Primal Chaos Force) they develop is vastly Tathagata Force. In the Past Tathagata Lineage mainly integrated the Tathagata Jin.

To avoid exploding like the original Ancestor, they probably wouldn't dare to freely merge various True Scripture. Although they are very powerful, they are not completely invincible.

Moreover, Xiang Yiwu is quite special, known as the Golden Silkworm Child, because he wants to undergo Nirvana based on the Tathagata Force, shedding the Old Cicada Skin and regenerating a new power method.

Moreover, Xiang Yiwu has successfully achieved what all the famous figures in the history of the New Life Path have been pursuing: each Major Realm requires a New Life.

Considering all these factors, Qin Ming believes that Xiang Yiwu is not necessarily weaker Past Tathagata Lineage lineage in a duel of equal skill.

Red Haze City, draped in silver, is far less prosperous and large than those Giant City and famous cities, but Qin Ming felt a sense of familiarity with it. Like Black and Black White Mountain, he regarded it as his homeland and home.

Scattered snowflakes drifted in the night sky; winter was drawing to a close, and the arrival of spring, when all things revive, was not far off.

"Uncle Meng." Qin Ming entered the City Lord's Manor and took out a local specialty he had brought back from the Minotaur Race — Bezoar Mind-Calming Powder).

Old Meng follows the path of the Esoteric Sect, burning Mind Calming Incense daily to quiet his mind, and he quite likes the gift before him.

Meng Xinghai chuckled and pointed at him, saying, "Good lad, you're getting wilder and wilder, always running off to Night Prefecture, even daring to cause trouble at the Golden Light Cave where even Earth Immortal Capital have fallen."

Qin Ming sighed, "There's no other way. Local Cultivation Resources are limited, so I have to seek them from outside."

"That's true." Meng Xinghai nodded. Night Prefecture had already been thoroughly explored. Any place with abundant Spiritual Matter and Daoist charm, such as Mountains and Rivers Spirit Nest and River-Sea Secret Apertures, was already occupied.

After the Western Territory War, there were too many wounded, and places that could heal people could no longer be open to the public; all the Master were waiting in line.

Meng Xinghai said, "Let's wait a little longer. Now that the higher-ups have mastered the divine skill of constructing 'doors,' exploring a truly New World may not be far off."

Qin Ming sensed the underlying meaning: Could it be that the Golden Light Cave they unearthed this time wasn't the real New World?

Meng Xinghai secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "Yes, it's good that you know. Don't go around talking about it. The Golden Light Cave is a 'big pit' that leads to the Immortal Grave."

Qin Ming opened his eyes wide and felt that the blood of the Ancestor was reddish-black.

At the same time, he was surprised by Old Meng's extensive knowledge and information network, even knowing about such matters.

Meng Xinghai said, " By fortuitous opportunity, I learned that my Meng Family's ancestor invited a highly respected Old Senior to help me assess the terrain of Red Haze City. During our conversation, he offered a few pointers."

The Fourth Realm in the Esoteric Sect is "Netherpass," followed by Seeing God and Ritual Offering.

Red Haze City is quite special. According to records, in the distant past, two deities chose the vicinity as their sacred site.

That's why the Giant Centipede once wanted to become a god here and devour the entire city.

When Meng Xinghai came here to become the city lord, he naturally considered various factors and set his sights on this place.

"Uncle Meng, could it be that you're nearing the Fifth Realm Seeing God?" Qin Ming asked.

"At my age, how could it be possible?" Meng Xinghai shook his head. He was in his thirties, and even if he were a genius, he couldn't reach that level yet.

The first three realms of the Esoteric Sect and the Immortal Path progress rapidly, but from the fourth realm onwards, they become difficult, often taking decades.

Of course, overall, these two routes are still much faster than New Life Path.

Even with the path of Overlord, to become Grandmaster, one must be over 160 or 170 years old, and that's assuming an incredibly smooth journey.

In this case, the so-called "shortcut" has no advantage whatsoever compared to top-tier Immortal Seed or God Seed.

Qin Ming had carefully studied the "Overlord's Testament" and he suspected that the Overlord might have referenced various methods of the Esoteric Sect, using the natural world to replenish himself.

Unable to find an extraordinary place, Qin Ming is now preparing to seek it from the heavens.

He settled down in Red Haze City, where he devoted himself to studying various scriptures, practicing Primal Chaos Force), and patiently awaiting the first Spring Thunder of spring.

During this time, he also visited friends and had small gatherings with old acquaintances. To his surprise, he learned that Xu Sheng, a retired merchant, and Sister Fenfang Zhou Lin had a son. Naturally, he wanted to give them a gift.

Having emerged from Black White Mountain, Wu Zheng had come to a complete understanding of reality. He felt that he would be content with Sixth New Life by the end of his life and had no other desires.

"Ming Ge, not everyone can rise to prominence like you. When I first left my hometown, I had lofty ambitions, but now I have completely accepted the reality that I am just an ordinary person," Wu Zheng said after offering a toast.

He wasn't discouraged at all; he was quite optimistic. He was much better off than his spendthrift grandfather. He had established himself in Red Haze City, opened a pharmacy, and continued to practice his martial arts diligently.

During this winter, Qin Ming also met Cao Long, Wei Zhirou, and Mu Qing.

Cao Long followed the path of the Giant Spirit God and is now three and a half meters tall, standing firmly in the Second Realm.

Wei Zhirou wore a pure white fox fur coat, looking elegant and refined. Her black hair fluttered in the wind, and her fair and beautiful face was filled with complex emotions.

Mu Qing, dressed in a black robe, now had two fluffy golden tails behind her. She was on the Mutation Path, and she looked at Qin Ming, speechless for a long time.

Last winter, the three of them went to Black White Mountain to "sweep the mountain" and even Take Care Of of the boy in front of them.

It's only been a short time, just the second winter, and Qin Ming has already become famous far and wide. Even those far away can hear his name constantly in other Giant City.

In winter, they returned to Red Haze City to visit relatives and reunited with Qin Ming, filled with countless emotions.

"Sigh, I really should have made my move sooner and taken you back to the Mu Family," Mu Qing said with a smile.

"It's not too late now. We'll get him drunk and then carry him away," Wei Zhirou said with a smile.

The initial awkwardness faded, and the group began chatting and laughing.

During this time, Qin Ming devoted himself to meditation and studying Various Scriptures, detached from worldly affairs. However, he learned a great deal of new information about the outside world from them.

In the past two weeks, Little Tathagata famous throughout Night Prefecture.

He challenges all sides and is hailed as the strongest seed on the New Life Path!

"He successively ascended to the Sky Bearing Sect, the Six Royals Ancestral Court, and the Jade Purity Ancestral Court, challenging all the masters of the Fourth Realm, and never suffered a defeat."

It is reported that he will next begin to challenge the seeds of the Esoteric Sect and the Immortal Path, to see if he can be invincible in the same field and have few rivals.

Cao Long said, "It's highly unlikely. There are rumors that he unexpectedly encountered a mysterious figure, fought fiercely for an hour, and finally ended in a draw."

"Who is it? Jiang Ran, or someone from the Esoteric Sect?" Qin Ming asked, surprised but intrigued.

Because he knew that Little Tathagata was indeed very powerful, having blocked a Master's attack at the Fourth Realm without being injured, which was a remarkable achievement.

Cao Long shook his head and said, "No, some people suspect that person came from Outer Domain."

Qin Ming was taken aback. Could it be Pei Qingwu from Pugong? He then shook his head. These two came from the same place; there was no need for them to fight in Night Prefecture.

He looked surprised and said, "Could it be that besides Pugong, people from other regions have come to Night Prefecture?"

Cao Long said, "That's most likely the case; that person had a distinct Foreign Domain accent."

Wei Zhirou smiled faintly and said, "I guess they've all come for Earthen City."

Recently, many unfamiliar faces have appeared in the Kunling Territory, and every day some experts of unknown origin go to explore Earthen City.

"Earthen City is very likely about to emerge; we can already observe that it is teeming with life."

Beyond Night Prefecture, in the far Northern Region, where the ice and snow have not yet melted, many spirit trees have already begun to sprout and bud.

The tree species shrouded in Immortal Mist were even more extraordinary; as the last snowflakes fell, their branches were laden with buds, ready to bloom.

At this moment, on a mountain covered in snow-covered flowering trees, a Earth Immortal was playing chess with a human skin.

"The Jade Capital is in turmoil again; the earthen Earthen City connected to it is about to emerge. Do you wish to make a trip there? Or should you send your disciples instead?"

"I'm not the real one, just an old skin. By the way, you are a creature from there, aren't you going back to your homeland for a visit? Maybe you can become the ruler of this place."

"Hmm, I'm afraid a Heavenly Immortal Descends."

"I know you well enough. You must be itching to go back, eager for Great Fortune. You probably sent your disciples there already, right? By the way, in this Savage Wilderness land, is that Old Barbarian God really Heavenly God? Is it about to awaken?"

In the western regions, within the realm of Demon Civilization, some old demons are holding a secret meeting.

"That's the Jade Capital! Even a slight ripple from it can bring Blessings to an entire region. That Earthen City was born from the Jade Capital Light; we cannot miss it."

"I'm afraid of getting struck by lightning!"

"Send one of your disciples over to take a look first."

In fact, from the patriarch to the Ancestor, the Demon Race race was all discussing it and gazing towards the direction of Night Prefecture.

Some demon Immortal Capital even ventured out of their special regions, wanting to make the trip themselves.

A young man opened his eyes in the Quiet Room and muttered to himself, "Night Prefecture, my hometown. The people there are no simpletons. They actually severed my Xin Yuan and forced me to Heart Refinement Medicine again. They certainly have some tricks up their sleeves. I'll go take a look this time. If I can fish out some Great Medicine from Jade Capital, that would be wonderful."

The Western Sea, with its towering waves, harbors colossal beasts and numerous ferocious monsters, making it extremely dangerous. Even the Demon Civilization dares not easily clash with these various sea creatures.

They maintained a buffer zone of hundreds of thousands of miles between them and lived in peace.

Deep in the Western Sea, islands glow and immortal mountains stand tall. Today, an old man rose, gazed towards Night Prefecture, and said, "Luofu, shouldn't it have completely vanished into the mists of history by now?"

"Master, we are ready and can depart immediately."

The old man nodded and said, "Go ahead, be careful on the road."

"Master, Earth Immortal Island, Sea God Island, and others are all recovering; it's estimated that beings will be heading to Night Prefecture."

"As expected."

In the distant East, some creatures must cross hundreds of thousands of miles of black fire to enter the Night Prefecture.

The ripples in Jade Capital and the revival of Earthen City have alarmed many creatures in the surrounding areas of Night Prefecture. Clearly, all sides have spies who have received secret reports.

In the depths of an Underground Palace in Beyond the Mundane Pure Land, Li Qingyue was enveloped in Immortal Light, ethereal and otherworldly. The Eight Trigrams Furnace melted, transforming into a dazzling battle armor that covered her entire body.

After months of seclusion, her cultivation level improved once again, and she became even more compatible with this mysterious weapon.

"It's time to emerge from seclusion." She murmured, and with a flash of light, her battle armor transformed into wisps of light, which then reformed into the Furnace Body.

Within the same Pure Land, in Sun Taichu's medicine furnace, which was filled with Immortal Mist and swirling with Yin-Yang Qi, came Cui Chonghe's voice. "Master, I have succeeded."

"Very good!" Sun Taichu commented, his face full of satisfaction.

As the ice and snow melt, early spring arrives, and all things sprout and grow, until the Spring Thunder rumbles.

In Red Haze City, Qin Ming looked up at the sky. Thick clouds were colliding, and blinding lightning was flashing. He immediately set off for the Thunderfire Alchemy Hall.

This time, he not only wanted to absorb the Heavenly Light and other Extraterrestrial Substance, but also wanted some Thunderfire and fire to help him break through the barrier. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

At this moment, a light drizzle was falling, and in his eyes, the golden palace was dazzling and sacred, like Golden Palace in the Nine Heavens.
