External Demons Blocking the Path Become Motivation
Pure Land, a vital area of the Great Yu Dynasty, has "veins" distributed in the void, demonstrating the transformation from disorder to order and sorting out the rules of heaven and earth.
Qin Ming sat quietly, questioning his own conscience and exploring the path ahead; his mind was more active than ever before.
This place is also known as the Dao Land, the foundation upon which the Earth Immortal Dynasty will be formed.
It's difficult for ordinary people to enter; even members of the royal family need to report and make an appointment in advance to get in. Qin Ming was able to come here to meditate because Yao Ruoxian had put in a good word for him.
Qin Ming used this place to cultivate, and his complex thoughts went from disordered to orderly, as if they had been purified.
Breaking through the Master level is naturally extremely difficult.
Profound knowledge and rare Great Medicine are both indispensable. Sometimes, even a life-or-death struggle is necessary, requiring external forces to break through that solid and unbreakable barrier.
Qin Ming had just broken through two levels in the Blood Forest and the Silver River Gorge, and only a few days had passed. Naturally, he did not expect to achieve this overnight and reach the Fifth Realm in one fell swoop.
He came here to clarify his mind, to deduce the path ahead, and to see if he had the conditions to break through the major hurdle.
The Master level is like Heavenly Chasm, blocking the path of many geniuses.
Even some Immortal Seed and God Seed have been repeatedly tempered and lingered for a long time, unable to make progress. They need to cultivate dragons and tigers internally and undergo blood tribulations externally before they can achieve the Grandmaster Position.
The Master of the world, after gathering all the necessary resources, either achieved their status through battle or through years of arduous practice.
Deep within the Pure Land, in the brass incense burner, wisps of fragrant smoke rose gently. As Qin Ming smelled the "Spirit-Calming Incense," his State of Mind gradually became more peaceful than ever before.
Undoubtedly, Qin Ming's consciousness was highly Pure Yang Transformation, and in that moment of Mind Clarity, it was as if a celestial bridge had been built, leading to the future and reaching the other shore.
This is a terrifying divine insight that can help one avoid danger in advance when calamity strikes, and can also help one achieve sudden enlightenment, allowing consciousness to be sublimated to the extreme, briefly crossing the bridge to the other side, and looking ahead to the future.
Of course, achieving Mind Clarity is extremely difficult and is mostly triggered by chance. But Qin Ming is now taking advantage of the special environment to systematically induce this state and has successfully entered it, even intending to remain in it for a long time.
His consciousness was pure and untainted by worldly dust, and the fire of his mind blazed brightly. He was using his special divine sense to simulate the path of Master breaking through a barrier.
Qin Ming witnessed various phenomena, his inner body merging with the dragon and tiger, his outer body refining his flesh and organs, his essence, Essence, Qi, and Spirit becoming perfectly unified, his Heavenly Light, consciousness and Divine Wisdom condensing, and then collapsing, just as he was about to forge the supreme Golden Core, it broke open again, pouring into his limbs and bones.
"Hmm, it's feasible. If all the external conditions are met, I can become Master if I overcome them, but... it exploded in the end."
Qin Ming frowned deeply. He had accumulated enough strength to be terrifying, and he was already capable of attempting to break through to the Fifth Realm. However, his physical body would disintegrate upon breaking through.
His heart sank, and he said, "Is the True Form Tribulation really that terrifying? I've just broken through the barrier, and I'm already facing it."
That's understandable, after all, he has integrated many True Scripture, and when Master transforms, it's about mastering all energies and forging the True Form.
In this process, there is an inherent tendency for all methods to converge into one.
The combination of all the techniques he practiced was truly terrifying.
Even the founding Ancestor, traversing the New Life Path, would find it difficult to avoid this calamity in the Fifth Realm.
The Fifth Realm is crucial, as it will establish the main path for the future. For example, the Six Sovereigns True Form, the Tathagata True Form, and the Jade Purity True Form all truly emerge at the beginning of the Fifth Realm.
Qin Ming's body glowed, his Pure Yang Consciousness surging. He stood on the Other Shore Immortal Bridge, gazing ahead, striving to maintain this special state as he conducted his second deduction.
"I won't die after the explosion; I'll be able to reassemble my true form, but I'll be severely injured," he sighed, analyzing the situation carefully.
He made full use of this rare opportunity and began the third simulation.
With a whoosh, Qin Ming withdrew from his limited moment of Mind Clarity. He took a deep breath. During his three True Form Tribulation, he had been torn apart by a rain of blood and his Mental Field had been shattered. The experience was terrifying and the pain unbearable.
In his final simulation, Qin Ming realized that the crux of the problem was that he had broken through the barrier too hastily; he had been too eager for quick success. If he had spent a few more months refining his skills, things wouldn't have turned out so badly.
At that moment, he thought of those Ancestor of the Silk Book Method had created the masterpiece.
"If you don't explode it once, you can't even say you've practiced Chaos Force." Qin Ming said self-deprecatingly, guessing that those Ancestor would probably agree with him.
That being said, if it could be avoided, who would willingly harm their own core essence?
Then he recalled Golden Ranking's advice when he was at Silver River Gorge, which encouraged him to patiently hone his skills, calm his mind, and refine himself to the best possible state.
Qin Ming decided to return to Double Tree Village and quietly lie low for several months, devoting himself to fully comprehending the Primal Chaos Force and striving to reach the most flawless and harmonious state of the Fourth Realm.
I need to isolate myself from the world for a while!
He believed that if he broke through the barrier then, it wouldn't be as disastrous.
The perfect and harmonious outcome that comes naturally is the Supreme Domain he seeks. Breaking through too easily or hastily will be detrimental to the future and will needlessly deplete his potential.
As for the Great Medicine needed to break through the barrier, Qin Ming has a large sum of money. If he were to seek it out, he might be able to gather the necessary amount.
"However, with the Supreme Blood Battle just concluded, various medicinal herbs are extremely scarce, and very few rare Treasured Medicine are available on the market, which is also a problem."
After careful consideration, he concluded that these factors should not hinder his progress.
If all else fails, Qin Ming thinks he can borrow medicine by "using his face" and probably raise enough money.
If he were willing to swallow his pride, Various Ancestral Courts on New Life Path, as well as Tai Xu and the Great Yu Royal Family, would probably lend him medicine.
When Qin Ming thought of these large organizations, he couldn't help but think of the Sage, that unfathomable old monster who had "sown seeds" widely in the heavens, which was truly frightening.
"Furthermore, have all the other Ancestor of the New Life Path who mastered Chaos Force truly died completely?"
If there are other people still alive, then the New Life Path will not be so simple.
Cheng Sheng sighed, "Brother Qin, this is a Heart-Questioning Pass, a clarification of the path ahead. Is he really going to enter the Fourth Realm? It's too fast. Back then, he was one or two Major Realm lower than us."
Pei Shuyan nodded, also feeling quite moved. Thinking back to those days, Qin Ming was just a minor cultivator in their eyes, not even on the same level as them.
In just a few years, the junior cultivators have already surpassed them.
Bai Meng's mouth moved, but he held back. He felt that at crucial moments, he could control his tongue and keep the secret.
In fact, after the Supreme Blood Battle ended, on his way back from the Outer Domain, Pei Gong almost stumbled upon the truth.
Unfortunately, when Yu Gensheng, Qin Ming, and Tang Yushang were fighting against the powerful warriors of the Traveler Civilization, Pei Shuyan fainted from the pain and was carried away by Bai Meng.
Yao Ruoxian had doubted Qin Ming's true level of mastery more than once, but when she thought about it rationally, she felt that she was overthinking it. After all, who in the world could become Master in just a few years?
Qin Ming left the Pure Land, immediately bid farewell to everyone, and prepared to return to Double Tree Village for seclusion. He did not intend to leave Black White Mountain unless he firmly grasped the opportunity to become Master.
Pei Gong, "Brother Qin's combat strength is already superior to ours, and now he is about to break through a major barrier. If we don't work harder, we will even be surpassed in terms of cultivation level."
He made up his mind to undergo rigorous training and return to the Beyond the Mundane to break through his cultivation barrier.
Cheng Sheng nodded and said, "The New Life Path, reaching the Fourth Realm at just over twenty years old—these elements combined are truly a monumental achievement that will shake the entire world, and would have garnered the attention of Ancestor throughout history."
Bai Meng was itching to say, "You're wrong. Ming Ge is a Major Realm higher than you all estimated."
He could already imagine the cataclysmic upheaval that would ensue when Ming Ge was exposed in the near future.
He felt that among the people in front of him, only his sister could stand shoulder to shoulder with Ming Ge.
Of course, if he can break the Curse left by his ancestors, he will also have the opportunity to follow them.
At this moment, Tang Yushang felt a great sense of crisis. She wanted to win a match and surpass Qin Ming at all times, but she really couldn't.
She was determined to fight this time and completely sever the first set of bloodline shackles within her body.
As for the second set of bloodline shackles that appeared after being baptized by the Ascension Light Rain, they became a powerful driving force for her to rise up, and she would break them sooner or later to unleash her full potential.
Qin Ming quietly returned to Double Tree Village and officially began his seclusion to make final preparations for becoming Master.
He remained in the Enlightenment Realm within the Black White Mountain region, unmoved and as steady as a rock, but from the outside world, "evil winds" blew, stirring up all sorts of "storms".
Within just a few days, rumors were flying everywhere.
"Have you heard? The mysterious expert who 'One Sword Cleaves Through Thirty-Six Heavens ' on the Sword Fighting Platform back then might actually be Qin Ming."
This news truly shocked everyone involved.
The key point is that some celebrities are also discussing it, which amplifies the impact.
Under these circumstances, all sorts of heated discussions and uproar ensued.
It is precisely because of this that various friendly, malicious, and complicated "external factors" have emerged and converged on the Black White Mountain area.
However, the Beast God is infamous and is also known as the peerless sword immortal, making everyone wary of him. So far, no one dares to force their way through.
In this tense atmosphere, Qin Ming remained unmoved. In just two days, he felt that his Chaos Force had become more harmonious.
He was surprised; the progress was much faster than he had imagined.
"Truly perfect and flawless, it won't take several months." He was full of confidence.
At the same time, he was researching a wonderful method to transform a wisp of Primordial Unity energy into Taiyi, the Realm Faction, One Sword, without damaging his own origin.
After all, he brought out three physical bodies from Longevity Ridge, all of which were Dao Body and Divine Embryo. Apart from exploring the True Form Tribulation, they should be put to good use in daily life, otherwise it would be too wasteful.
Some outsiders are worried about Qin Ming.
Some people are waiting for him to get into trouble, hoping to see some bloody fun.
It's fair to say that this is a very sensitive juncture.
Qin Ming had heard about it. Ask him to prove it himself? He only had one word for him: Get lost.
However, if the opportunity arises, he would like to make a brief statement to prevent anyone from smearing his "innocence" out of thin air.
Under this immense pressure, he found that his progress had accelerated, and he himself felt that he had an exceptionally strong ability to withstand pressure, making him very suitable for seclusion in such a harsh environment.
The external storms made him more resilient, taking one step at a time to continuously improve his own strength and solidify the foundation of his terror.
External factors arose one after another, and could even be called "External Demons." For Qin Ming, these storms were all obstacles to his path.
With various evil winds blowing fiercely and storms rising frequently, once there are many external factors, naturally all kinds of people will appear.
Just now, as many people suspect that Qin Ming is One Sword Jian, the various Cultivation Method he has practiced have also been pondered, and have even attracted the attention of a small group of people.
The most attention-grabbing is the Silk Book Method.
In fact, the inheritance of Chaos Force in this world cannot be broken. Ancient texts should be sealed in the major Ancestral Court of the New Life Path.
However, this scripture, which was considered to have serious hidden dangers, was long ago treated as a "Demon Scripture" by later disciples and was buried in the dust of history among old papers.
The Pugong lineage has always continued this tradition, and one can even become an apprentice to them.
However, some people delve deeper and believe that the Silk Scripture from the Ancestor Qin more than 900 years ago may have been somewhat unusual, and therefore they are particularly concerned about it.
They believe that Qin Ming's ability to embark on his journey on his own, without being guided by anyone, may be related to this somewhat unconventional True Scripture.
This claim circulated within a small circle.
Even though Qin Ming was far away in Black White Mountain, someone warned him to be careful and pay attention.
Qin Ming chuckled. His family's heirloom Silk Book Method was incomplete, with half of it torn off. If it weren't for his resonance ability, he wouldn't have been able to see the whole thing.
Moreover, he primarily studied the refined version recorded in the Divine Temple.
The Silk Book Method is special is a completely unfounded rumor.
Do those people really believe that once they get their hands on the Silk Scripture, they can embark on their own journey and master the perfect Chaos Force?
Qin Ming's lips curled into a slight, cold smile.
"Yes, I'm progressing quickly again. External pressure is what drives me forward." He was very satisfied with the results of his hard work.
This topic continues to be discussed by outsiders.
Even some celebrities are talking about it now.
"I heard that Qin Ming's Silk Scripture once fell into the Cui Household. They must have made a copy, right? That Aristocratic Clan also possesses that kind of secret manual."
"Hmm, I see. I wonder if we could borrow it from the Cui Household family?"
I think it's not a big problem.
At this moment, the Cui Household was shocked by the rumors circulating outside. From top to bottom, they all felt as if the sky had fallen. If Qin Ming were to One Sword, it would be truly unimaginable.
What kind of prodigy did they miss back then?
They had a winning hand, but they played it terribly.
In this era, even the most powerful forces, such as Star Mountain, Thunder Marsh Palace, and Huang Family, were not qualified to regard One Sword as a "Abandoned Son," but the Cui Household did just that.
I think... it's unlikely!
"This is simply unbelievable, I don't believe it."
What if it's him?
After those last words were spoken, everyone in the Cui Household fell silent.
In recent days, Cui Chongxiao's expression has become increasingly cold. He believes the rumors are unreliable, but his mood is getting worse and worse.
Her condition was almost like that of someone suffering from postpartum depression.
Within Black White Mountain Qin Ming's body, the meridians resembled a great dragon, and various acupoints were like Immortal Lake. Light and rain emanated from his body. At this moment, he stood under the Black White Twin Trees, his sleeves fluttering in the wind and snow, as if he were about to ascend to immortality.
"Perhaps it's time to consider cultivating that sacred substance." His expression was solemn. He decided to start now, hoping that once he reached the Grandmaster Realm, it might become a significant force.
He had made various preparations for the Fifth Realm, wanting to achieve the best possible result.
He has been studying and analyzing some ingenious methods and techniques. For example, he has been diligently exploring and constantly seeking new paths to transcend the realm of the Nine-Colored Sword Fiend.
In these last few months, he needs to hone his skills and master various protective techniques so that once he enters the Grandmaster Domain, he can not only cope with the True Form Tribulation, but also further raise his potential.
I had already written the leave request form today, but I deleted it at the last minute. I felt that writing a short note as a transition was better than directly requesting leave.
