The Revived President
In the small courtyard with blue bricks, Qin Ming leaned against a stone table, the tea steam rising from the celadon teacup between his fingers, as he gazed at Gu Chang's tall figure in front of him.
The president's silver hair was like brocade woven from Moon Essence, her dark eyes were deep and profound, and her red lips were pursed into a faint arc, which made her look aloof and noble.
She seemed to have been revived; her physical body was overflowing with astonishing spiritual energy.
On the stone table, in the celadon cup, the tea soup rippled violently, and two drops landed on Qin Ming's fingertips. He almost couldn't hold back and attacked the president.
At the last moment, he managed to restrain himself and observe the situation calmly.
The president was dressed in pure white, Lingering a faint halo. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes shimmered, reflecting Qin Ming's hazy silhouette.
The True Scripture circulated within her body on its own, Golden Haze flowed through her, causing all her orifices to resonate. She felt as if she had been baptized, and gained a touch of the majesty of a superior.
Qin Ming stared ahead, studying the <Myriad Aperture Illumination Art>, eagerly awaiting the birth of a new chapter.
Therefore, even when the chairman showed signs of recovery, he refrained from intervening immediately.
Even if she has a terrifying background, it will take time for her Spirit Fire to be fully rekindled; it cannot be achieved overnight.
This is why Qin Ming was able to remain "reserved," but the grip on his teacup had noticeably tightened.
The supreme leader of the Godlike Society, the True Scripture traced back through countless years—who wouldn't be moved by such a figure? He must have an extraordinary background, so taking a little risk at this moment is definitely worthwhile.
Even, if necessary, Qin Ming could personally apply medicinal mud to her to help her accelerate the recovery of her "physical memories" and fully reveal the True Scripture she had obtained.
Of course, Qin Ming was also managing the risks. At such close range, the silver-haired woman's condition was clearly visible to him.
He Mind Clarity and always prepared to deal with unexpected events.
The Torn Cloth was already suspended in mid-air, invisible and close to the president's head. If anything happened, it would directly take her inside.
Within the silver-haired woman's body, golden light wove together, forming a mysterious pattern around her orifices. It was accompanied by four phenomena: vibration, resonance, light, and movement. She felt as if she were bathed in divine essence, which purified her physical body and nourished a faint trace of her spirit.
Without a doubt, the president at this moment was sacred and transcendent, and there were indeed wisps of Light of Consciousness growing and rippling out, a truly miraculous sight.
Qin Ming was shocked. How long had it been? The guild leader was about to be resurrected.
This is absolutely a momentous event in the Longevity Domain!
Has the experiment at Longevity Ridge achieved a breakthrough?
"No, when I seized the body, I resonated with the power of Experiment Site No. 9 and learned some of its secrets. This body couldn't possibly have developed consciousness immediately!"
Qin Ming frowned. Could it be because he, through the method of simultaneous cultivation of three paths, had rapidly reignited this "ancient war chariot" and set off ahead of schedule?
He quickly shook his head again, thinking that even if the Chaos Force was incredibly powerful, it shouldn't be like this.
He set his sights on the old object, a pendant with a dull luster and nothing particularly special about it.
It must have been a piece of exquisite jade in the past, but it has long been damaged by the erosion and wear of time, with missing edges and corners, and at first glance it looks like an ordinary piece of ancient jade.
Qin Ming refused to give up and tried to resonate with the device several times, but received no response.
"The president—it's probably because of this that he recovered ahead of schedule." Qin Ming guessed, and there were no other variables besides that.
This is bizarre. His resonance techniques have all failed, yet the guild leader has gained a New Life lease on life through this. It can only be said that some mystical objects in this world are beyond our comprehension.
Perhaps this was a tactic Supreme Experts ancient times, a way to guard against the ability of resonance.
If that's the case, then this pendant has quite a history.
Could this ancient woman achieve a different kind of immortality through this method?
However, how could such a small pendant have such a great effect, even venturing into the Longevity Domain? This simply doesn't make sense.
If such a divine object existed in the world, why would those Supreme Experts need to conduct all sorts of horrific experiments, causing boundless Blood Calamity?
Qin Ming's mind raced with thoughts, and he muttered to himself, "Could it be the memory stones? She scattered them all over the world during her lifetime as a precaution, because she didn't trust the people around her and didn't completely rely on the arrangements of the Longevity Experiment Site."
If that's the case, this woman must be of extremely high status, and very confident in herself, believing that as long as her physical body remains, she will one day be able to return.
Qin Ming collected his thoughts and observed the path of the True Scripture's operation.
"Wow, a new chapter has appeared!"
In an instant, Qin Ming's spirits lifted; what he had been waiting for had come to pass.
The president is indeed "well-endowed"—is this due to her physical memory and instincts, or did the pendant bestow something upon her?
To avoid interfering with her recovery, Qin Ming didn't dare to resonate too much.
The president's physical body is now almost in a state of autonomy, while Qin Ming only maintains the most basic and weak perception to obtain the True Scripture's operating route map.
"The subsequent chapters of this True Scripture scripture are extremely complex, and mastering them is incredibly difficult."
The version Qin Ming obtained earlier only reached the Early Ancestor Realm at its highest.
Now, he gazed "affectionately" and saw the meaning of the scriptures in the Mid-Stage Sixth Realm. Then he saw the chapters leading to the later stage, which was close to the completion chapter.
However, the Golden Haze became disordered and dissipated as they moved.
The Immortal Body has "reignited" and is only just beginning to recover; it may be somewhat unaccustomed to the complex circulation of the True Scripture.
After making this judgment, Qin Ming immediately offered his assistance.
He placed the pendant in the president's hand, and then personally applied the medicine to her.
Of course, her movements were gentle and measured, applying the medicinal mud only to her lotus-like arms hidden in her wide sleeves and her exposed neck.
Finally, Qin Ming applied a "face mask" to her.
Whether it was the pendant that worked or the medicinal mud that had a miraculous effect, the president stabilized Golden Haze, swept away the decline, and the Myriad Aperture Illumination Art circulated smoothly again.
Finally, the new chapter has progressed to the Great Perfection of the Ancestor Realm.
Moreover, as the True Scripture continues to operate, it also delves into higher levels; clearly, the meaning of this scripture can lead directly to the realm of Earth Immortal.
Unfortunately, the Golden Haze gradually dimmed, and they were unable to reach the seventh level.
It is obvious that the Myriad Aperture Illumination Art contains methods from the realm of Earth Immortal, but the current president is not yet capable of supporting its operation; merely scratching the surface is not enough.
Qin Ming said, "No rush. It will take time for your Immortal Body to rekindle. Your condition will gradually improve. I'll apply more medicine next time."
He was very confident that he would obtain the True Scripture of the teachings.
He decided to spar with the president more often in the future and help her practice her skills.
At the same time, Qin Ming was also pondering that the Godlike Society had obtained the Myriad Aperture Illumination Art, Cultivation Method at the Earth Immortal level, a long time ago, but the Divine Son Lin Shuyue of that branch was completely unaware of it.
"The supreme figure of the Godlike Society is pursuing True Scripture that transcends the limits, and what he seeks is probably immortality, which shows the status and importance of this scripture." Qin Ming's expression turned solemn.
A night breeze blew, causing the president's dress to flutter and her waist-length hair to shimmer with tiny Silver Light. Her bright eyes were fixed on Qin Ming.
At this moment, she had completely stopped circulating the True Scripture, and looked ahead with a hint of scrutiny.
Qin Ming met her gaze, a slight stirring in his heart: Was she truly going to be resurrected?
The next instant, it was as if a thunderclap had struck from nowhere.
The silver-haired woman parted her red lips slightly and surprisingly asked directly, "Why a male servant?"
Her voice was magnetic, but she seemed unaccustomed to it, speaking haltingly and with some difficulty, her gaze carrying a hint of confusion.
Then, her eyes gradually deepened, and although her figure remained elegant, her aura became increasingly fierce and powerful, as if she had the power to look down upon the world.
"Now that you have seen me, why do you not kneel?"
She must have been in a high position for a long time; such demeanor and tone were actually engraved in her physical memory. As soon as she was revived, she adopted an attitude of Reign Over the World.
In the courtyard with its blue brick walls, Qin Ming sat motionless behind the stone table, holding a celadon teacup. He took a small sip and said, "Because I am your master."
Damn it, he "endured all the hardships" for her, does he expect her to become an unfilial queen? What is he thinking, wanting her to act like a tyrant over him?
Qin Ming was able to remain so calm mainly because he had resonated with her and understood her true nature.
If it weren't for the <Myriad Aperture Illumination Art>, he would have locked the commander in Torn Cloth long ago to "cool him down".
The silver-haired woman's memories were vague, fragmented, and few at all—just a small flame rekindled. But her innate qualities and instincts drove her to want to take the lead.
Her consciousness was still a blank slate, barely touched, yet she already harbored some doubts about Qin Ming's identity. A keen intuition reminded her that she was the only one who mattered, and no one could defy her.
The silver-haired woman took a few steps in the courtyard, swaying gracefully like a slender bamboo, and then calmly spoke, "Under the whole heaven, who dares to deceive me?"
Qin Ming was quite shocked. She had only just begun to recover, yet she was already so difficult to fool. If he were given time to grow, he might be in danger of capsizing.
After pondering to himself, he was somewhat amazed. These beings who pursued immortality were indeed extraordinary, able to face inexplicable crises with such composure despite their limited intelligence.
However, upon closer reflection, it's understandable. If such a person wasn't exceptional, they would have been eliminated from history long ago, leaving no trace for future generations.
"Are you questioning me?" Qin Ming asked.
Immediately, his oppressive aura spread out, instantly causing the president to sway precariously, and his expression changed for the first time.
Her instincts told her that no one could command her or subdue her, but right now, someone was intimidating her with absolute power.
She was also pondering that while her physical body and the Divine Substance within her were no weaker than the other person's, her Divine Power was far inferior.
Ultimately, her Light of the Mind was just beginning to emerge, and she was simply unable to piece together the complete truth. Despite her amazing instincts, she was still just a naive, Little Bai.
She stopped speaking and just silently watched Qin Ming, seemingly lost in thought.
Qin Ming stood up, looked directly into her eyes, and calmly said, "Remember, I am your master."
The president's silver hair fluttered, Myriad Aperture Illumination Art illuminated every part of her body, as if countless stars were appearing within her, activating even more vigorous vitality and spiritual energy.
She didn't confront this seemingly powerful man directly, remaining silent and focusing instead on improving herself.
Qin Ming stood with his hands behind his back and said, "It seems you've forgotten the past, and that means betrayal. Are you perhaps born rebellious, intending to defy my will?"
The president spoke calmly and confidently, saying, "Give me time; I need to adjust."
She didn't want to escalate the conflict; she wanted to buy time.
Qin Ming felt exhausted. The president had only just recovered, and he was already this difficult to deal with. What would they do in the future?
He placed his left hand behind his back, his right hand glowing, and reached forward, saying, "Since you have a rebellious nature, I cannot let you live."
The president retaliated decisively, using the Divine Substance Qin Ming had injected into her body. All her orifices resonated, unleashing a truly terrifying attack that formed a sacred and dazzling domain.
If she were allowed to erupt, not only this small courtyard, but even Double Tree Village would be affected and razed to the ground in an instant.
Qin Ming's Spiritual Field expanded, covering the courtyard and locking in all qi and energy fluctuations.
On his right hand, layers of black vortexes emerged, directly attacking the guild leader's Consciousness Spirit Light and digging out its weakest spiritual roots.
The guild leader's fighting instincts are terrifyingly strong, with all his acupoints resonating, capable of slaying Master. However, given his Heavenly Law, his spiritual fire is still very weak, making him vulnerable to being effectively targeted.
With a whoosh, her newly born Light of Consciousness was stripped from her physical body, like a bright flower, appearing on Qin Ming's fingertips, petals blooming, unable to escape those five fingers.
This wisp of spiritual flower, though small, is already in a state of Pure Yang, of exceptional quality, as if it had undergone the baptism of thunder and heavenly fire, and is quite remarkable.
"Disobey my will, and I will condemn you to the torment of Hell." Qin Ming said indifferently.
Without making a sound, he produced Torn Cloth and slowly tucked the silver-haired figure inside.
The president's Pure Yang Consciousness was greatly shocked. She watched in disbelief as her flesh and blood body disappeared inch by inch in the void, leaving her unable to investigate and wondering where it had ended up.
For the first time, her heart was stirred by intense emotions; her instincts told her that she was facing something beyond her comprehension.
Only when her flawless body completely disappeared did her State of Mind break down for the first time. How could she accept the loss of her physical body? Her intuition told her that she absolutely could not afford to lose it.
With a clang, Qin Ming drew his Exotic Metal Blade, a reward he received from the Golden Ranking during the Supreme Blood Battle the Exclave.
"You want to kill me?" The guild leader's heart sank.
Qin Ming said, "This blade is indestructible, but it lacks a weapon spirit. I originally intended to train you as my right-hand man, but since you are born rebellious, you will become the blade spirit."
With a clang, he gently vibrated the blade, and with a flick of his hand, sealed the general's Pure Yang Consciousness into the blade.
"Wait a minute!" the president called out.
However, Qin Ming ignored him and directly sheathed his sword.
He certainly didn't intend to destroy this wisp of Pure Yang Consciousness. The fact that the guild leader had recovered so quickly did make him quite wary, but it was still within a controllable range at the moment.
He longed for the profound and unfathomable "Myriad Aperture Illumination Art," and wanted to wait for her to recall the subsequent chapters.
However, the president is quite difficult to deal with. She's already so troublesome right after recovering, so we need to temper her temper.
Qin Ming could only sigh that the Night Mist World Vast and Boundless, and those who could make a name for themselves in the bloody era of ancient times were indeed extremely powerful.
"Once they truly return, what will become of them? They will be extremely difficult to deal with."
He believed that even if he coveted that supreme True Scripture, for safety reasons, he should impose various restrictions and keep it within a controllable range.
"As long as your cultivation level doesn't surpass mine, no matter what your past status was, you'll have to bow down before me." This was Qin Ming's confidence from his bloody battles all the way up.
Next, when he took stock of his spoils, his enthusiasm waned.
The Battle Beast most likely obtained a portion of the <Myriad Aperture Illumination Art>, which explains why it didn't lose its fighting ability despite bleeding multiple times while being chased.
"His so-called indestructible War Body Golden Body have been cultivated based on this True Scripture."
After checking the Battle Beast and Huang Zhaoting's storage bracelet, Qin Ming felt relatively calm. His biggest gain was that the guild leader's physical memories had been restored and that he possessed a relatively complete True Scripture, which was more important than anything else.
Three days later, he drew out the Exotic Metal Blade, which was as smooth and lustrous as mutton fat jade. He gently flicked the blade, and a clear, melodious sound lingered for a long time.
He couldn't keep this flower of Pure Yang Consciousness sealed forever. If it wasn't nourished by a physical body for a long time, it would gradually wither, which was not what he wanted.
"I'd like to talk to you," the president said, taking the initiative.
Qin Ming said calmly, "Talk? You haven't understood your own situation yet."
The guild leader emitted Pure Yang Consciousness fluctuations and said, "What you said cannot be proven true; my instincts are resisting it."
Qin Ming stared at the Exotic Metal Blade and said, "Then what's the point of talking?"
The president said, "Instinct tells me that all demands are based on strength. We are in the same field and under the same conditions. If you can defeat me, why shouldn't I submit?"
Qin Ming nodded calmly and said, "Your wish can be granted."
The president requested that she first return to her physical body to recuperate, and also that she adapt to the environment of this world.
Qin Ming remained calm as he summoned his body from "Hell," which suddenly appeared in the courtyard. He then released the Pure Yang Consciousness from the blade and forced it back into his physical body.
Late at night, the president, who was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, opened his eyes and saw a sky full of stars reflected in them, with the extraordinary sight of the sun and moon changing behind him.
She rose to her feet, standing tall and graceful, her face flawless and radiating an innate confidence. Immortal Mist Lingering her, and as she took a step forward, radiant light flowed across her body, making her appear as if she were ascending to heaven.
"That's fine." She nodded to Qin Ming.
Qin Ming said, "Since we're sparring at the same level, let's go to the mountains."
In fact, he resonated with the situation Entire Process, constantly exploring its details and taking it very seriously.
What if he were to be captured by a newly awakened being? How could he possibly bear it? Not to mention being suppressed; the consequences would be unimaginable.
Qin Ming led the way, his sleeves fluttering in the wind.
Both of them were like Banished Immortal, riding the wind, scattering a faint rain of light in the night sky, and in an instant they descended on the outer area of Black White Mountain.
The president parted her red lips slightly and said, "Are you sure you can bring the Pure Yang Consciousness to the same level as me?"
Qin Ming nodded and said, "There's no need to doubt. When facing an enemy of the same realm, I can handle it with just one hand."
The president's fair face froze slightly, and ripples appeared on his calm Heart Lake.
In an instant, words like "madman" and "arrogant loser" came flooding back from her physical memories, making her secretly curse them.
At that moment, she really wanted to hit someone!
This is truly an unusual emotion that shouldn't exist; it's rare for her to exhibit such feelings.
The president quickly calmed the distracting thoughts and turmoil in her mind. Her instincts told her that as long as she went all out, she could look down on all her enemies in the same field.
"Are you ready to bow down to me?" Qin Ming asked.
The president spoke calmly, Lingering ethereal light, and smiled gently, saying, "Winning against me is no problem, but if you lose, will you bow down to me?"
Qin Ming stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Tracing back eight thousand years, I have never been defeated in my life. Reaching perfection in this Eternal Presence has become a regret in my heart."
