Different Figures Converge on Jade Radiance City

"Sister Meng, you don't want people to know about what happened back then when you were a tiger slave, do you?"

The words were already on Qin Ming's lips, but he swallowed them back.

Meng Zhiyu only said half of what she meant; whether she truly knew something or was trying to trick him was still uncertain.

At the same time, Qin Ming was unsure whether the other party was the White Tiger Woman Master.

He suspected that Meng Zhiyu had overheard most of what was happening, since even Zhou Tian's double-encrypted telepathic communication had failed to prevent her from hearing it.

Rather than act rashly, Qin Ming turned his head to look at her fair face, not uttering the second half of his sentence, appearing confident and utterly composed.

"Alright, we'll meet up alone later." Meng Zhiyu's purple hair fluttered as she gracefully flew forward.

Jade Radiance Immortal City is indeed unique, recreating the appearance of an ancient metropolis, with skyscrapers everywhere. In this Solar Yang world, towering buildings pierce the night sky, shrouded in fog, their lights flickering, exuding a magical atmosphere.

The six Great Sage soared through the air, breaking through the night fog, and passed across the towering buildings.

Ji Xingran and Bai Zhilan followed behind in a small spaceship.

Dressed in a white robe, the refined-looking Mu Shinian silently approached Qin Ming and said, "Sixth Brother, you didn't want this either—"

"I--!" Qin Ming almost had a stress reaction and nearly punched him.

What kind of trouble have they stirred up? They're all using similar tactics, starting with intimidation as soon as they open their mouths, as if they're trapped in some kind of vicious cycle.

Qin Ming stared at the third brother with an unfriendly expression.

He was certain that Mu Shinian was trying to White Wolf and was completely bluffing him.

He took a deep breath. The third brother was very strong; he was indeed a master of the Wheel of Time. He must have overheard some fragments of information.

Then, Qin Ming began to speak to himself.

"Third brother, you want to buy the Memory Crystal that made your eldest sister so alluring? But I don't have any here."

"Hmm, Third Brother, you still want to pry into Second Brother's past? You've got the wrong person. I don't know anything about him."

"What, we're having a private get-together just the two of us? Okay."

When Mu Shinian transmitted his voice, he used three layers of encryption. When it was Qin Ming's turn to say these three sentences, he only used one layer of encryption.

Ahead, Meng Zhiyu and Qian Cheng, shrouded in the night fog, turned around one after the other, each glancing indifferently at the third brother.

"I didn't, Old Six, don't talk nonsense." Mu Shinian urgently stopped him.

His anxious face was reflected in the crystal floor-to-ceiling windows of a nearby building.

Qin Ming shrugged, indicating his incomprehension. How could he be like this?

Mu Shinian sighed, then flew ahead to explain to Meng Zhiyu and Taiyi.

A moment later, Zhou Tian came to Qin Ming's side.

He hadn't overheard anything, but remained calm and pondered for a moment before saying, "Sixth Brother, about this matter—"

Qin Ming realized that none of his brothers were good people; birds of a feather flock together.

Zhou Tian knew nothing, he only observed people's expressions and dared to try and extort money from them.

Qin Ming made up a story off the top of his head, saying, "What do you know, coming here like this? Sister Meng wants to deal with Third Brother, and Second Brother has the same idea. By the way, Third Brother said some problems started because of you, and he wants to clear himself of any involvement—"

After Qin Ming finished speaking, he ignored Zhou Tian.

He turned around and immediately saw a blank, ox-like face.

Qin Ming rubbed his forehead and said, "Fifth Brother, you're getting involved too? What do you mean, coming here to show off your presence?"

Along the way, sunlight fell, and Meng Zhiyu changed into a gorgeous purple dress. She paid great attention to her image, and the dress fluttered, outlining her slender waist and long, perfect figure, making her even more stunning.

Qian Cheng remained relatively composed and showed little change.

Mu Shinian was dashing and debonair, and wanted to change into a purple outfit to accentuate his extraordinary temperament.

Meng Zhiyu glanced at him and said, "Don't be like me."

"Alright then." Mu Shinian listened to advice.

Niu Wuwei a stern face, said, "So what Sixth Brother said was true; you must have secretly tried to purchase Memory Crystal."

"Fifth Brother, shut up!" Mu Shinian wanted to stuff a handful of grass into his cow's mouth. Why was this usually honest cow suddenly starting to cause trouble?

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at their destination.

In the central area of Jade Radiance Immortal City, there is a piece of land shrouded in white Immortal Mist, filled with low-rise buildings that stand in stark contrast to the towering skyscrapers in the distance.

The group landed and stepped into the thick white fog. In an instant, the hustle and bustle of the entire city was shut out, and this place became a world of its own.

Ji Xingran and Bai Zhilan caught up and introduced the Six Great Sages, explaining that the courtyards here were inhabited by some powerful figures and were all high-level cave abode.

As for the manors and other structures deeper inside, they are naturally considered large, super-sized cave abode, with their own unique worlds within, including immortal mountains,

Lakes, rivers, etc.

Ji Xingran said, "I just used the Dharma Conch to communicate and learned some information. In addition to local celebrities, people from the Godlike Society, Heaven City, and the Traveler Civilization are also attending the meeting."

Qin Ming's heart stirred. In the past, the Sky Race, the Abyss Civilization, and the Totem Faction had joined forces to try to besiege Jade Capital, resulting in a fierce and brutal Supreme Blood Battle.

He hadn't expected anyone from the Sky Race to appear.

Qian Cheng remained calm and showed no reaction.

Several Great Sage arrived together, and without any deliberate concealment, some people could naturally discover their whereabouts and even know that they had come for some Great Fortune.

Jade Radiance Immortal City is the trade center of this region and one of the hub cities connecting the ocean and the land. Many large organizations have branches here, and top experts come and go on a regular basis.

Therefore, even the slightest disturbance in this area will attract attention from all sides.

Bai Zhilan said, "I'll go in first and inform Grandfather."

Meng Zhiyu shook her head and said, "No need, just lead us in."

The White Household of the Illusory World Cat Clan, and the Ji Household behind Ji Xingran, are all top-tier powers in the city, and important figures from both families are present tonight.

If Bai Zhilan were to go in and report, some of the old men might come out to greet her personally.

Meng Zhiyu continued, "After we go inside, tell your grandfather not to bring people to surround us. We don't want to be scrutinized by everyone."

Releasing information appropriately, stating that they have come for some Great Fortune, is sufficient; going too far with a high-profile Exerted Effort would be counterproductive.

"Xiao Ji, did you hear that?" Zhou Tian also told Ji Xingran not to make a fuss.

Qin Ming realized once again that those with the potential of Great Sage, even if their potential is to be realized in the future, already hold a rather extraordinary status.

When Meng Zhiyu, Mu Shinian, and the others arrived, they were actually received personally by high-ranking members of the local top Lineage.

A moment later, the group passed through the Immortal Mist area and entered the manor ahead.

Stepping into this place, everything changed. The night sky was not only filled with a bright moon, but also with countless stars. Although they were all man-made, they felt very real.

This cave abode is filled with exotic flowers and jade-like herbs. Even a simple pavilion has a hidden world inside.

If you stumble upon a small patch of Purple Bamboo Forest and get lost there, you'll need to cross an endless sea of bamboo.

As Your Highness of the Demon Court, Zhou Tian Mu Shinian were used to seeing such things.

Niu Wuwei Hidden Disciples of the Tushita Palace, and Meng Zhiyu came from the renowned Dream Insect Clan, so there's no need to Say More.

After all that, Qin Ming was the only one who, being a Rogue Cultivator, couldn't help but glance at the starry sky and the full moon. As for Qian Cheng, a former Dharma King, what hadn't he experienced?

Even Qin Ming, a Rogue Cultivator, has experienced various grand scenes, including ascending to the Nine Heavens to fight swords, participating in blood battles of Supreme Civilization, and venturing alone into the Night Mist World.

Therefore, once he arrived here, he naturally blended in and adapted instantly.

Even so, some people still criticize him.

"She is elegant and refined, with an ethereal quality, truly outstanding." This was the comment of a young noblewoman.

Another woman spoke up, "I just saw that he seemed to have come in with Zhou Tian and Mu Shinian, so he has some connection with the Great Sage."

"Hmm, now he's standing with Ji Xingran, and there's a cow next to him? I see, his status is probably similar to Ji Xingran's, he's Zhou Tian and Mu Shinian's follower, a confidant and underling."

"That's already pretty good."

"Could that ox be a mount specifically for pulling the carriages of the two Your Highness the Demon Court?"

The antique-style hall is very spacious and can easily accommodate any continuous influx of guests.

On some of the thick, coiled dragon pillars, Heavenly Dragon are carved, lifelike, each dragon head raised high, holding a lamp in its mouth, scattering sacred light.

The bronze crane figurine features wisps of white mist rising from its beak—the finest incense mist, capable of clearing the mind and aiding in enlightenment.

After Meng Zhiyu, Taiyi, Mu Shinian, and Zhou Tian entered discreetly, they quickly separated, but they were still noticed by some old men, who came up to them from time to time to clink glasses.

Although they had been notified in advance and no one surrounded them, people kept coming up to talk to them.

In contrast, Qin Ming and Niu Wuwei it much easier. A few people knew their identities and approached them discreetly, paying close attention to details and not making a fuss. After the toasts, seeing that the two weren't in much of a conversation, those people would tactfully leave.

"Those two are Zhou Tian's brothers, and they are of extremely high status."

"Really? The Great Sage's brother?"

"It's true, of course. Last night, my brother Mu Jingsheng came home looking extremely pale. He originally wanted to cause trouble for Ji Xingran, but he was genuinely frightened in the end."

"But I just heard that the minotaur is Zhou Great Sage's mount."

"No way?"

Soon after, Niu Wuwei his nose almost twisted out of shape. Some people knew his identity, but a small group of people still mistakenly thought he was the ox that pulled the cart beside the Great Sage.

Qin Ming, with his keen senses, naturally overheard some of the discussions. He patted Qin Ming on the shoulder and laughed, "Fifth brother, you claim to be human, yet you insist on walking the world with a bull's head on your head. Who can you blame for that?"

Niu Wuwei dissatisfaction, "I'm practicing martial arts!"

Ji Xingran in a cold sweat. These were two Great Sage; how could they be slighted or criticized?

He immediately spoke with some people nearby, explaining the truth and emphasizing that he would not allow the misunderstanding to escalate, as he knew these two were even more formidable characters than Zhou Tian.

"Tonight, not only are there venerable elders and eminent figures in attendance, but also the legendary Great Sage, and distinguished guests from afar. I have a stone carving here, which I would like to invite you all to appreciate. I wonder if anyone can glean any insight from it."

An elderly man of clearly high status stepped forward, took out a stone brick more than half a person's height from his spatial bracelet, and placed it in the center of the hall, immediately attracting a large crowd to rush forward.

"Those are people from the Traveler Civilization," Ji Xingran said.

Zhou Tian, Meng Zhiyu, and the others had all been to Jade Radiance City before and had acquaintances there, so they didn't need anyone to accompany them.

Qin Ming and Niu Wuwei were newcomers, so Ji Xingran stayed by their side to show hospitality.

Qin Ming was surprised. He was no stranger to the Traveler Civilization. This place was researching the Longevity Blood Calamity and was not a benevolent organization.

In the past, when the Supreme Blood Battle ended, he had encountered members of the organization and killed a Saint Disciple of the Lu Liu.

Pei Shuyan became known as Pei Gong precisely because he was blocked by the people of this Daoist temple.

Furthermore, at the Ten Thousand Dragons Carrying the Tomb, another Saint Disciple from the same monastery, a Lu Qi, was tragically killed on the spot.

"They're everywhere." Qin Ming looked ahead.

"What's the status of that stone carving?" Niu Wuwei asked.

Ji Xingran said in a low voice, "There's a saying that no one can fathom, and we don't know if it's true or not."

The Traveler Civilization accidentally unearthed several mysterious stone bricks, which he had always kept hidden and never shown to anyone.

Unfortunately, the stone bricks are broken and shrouded in layers of mist, and no one can unravel the mystery within.

Out of necessity, they would occasionally take out one or two pieces and ask someone to analyze them.

This time, several Great Sage have personally come to this place, and even the Emperor Worm has arrived in Jade Radiance City. Are they trying to invite a peerless genius to try and comprehend it?

Many people were curious and came forward, sparking a lively discussion.

"What is this, some kind of scribbles?"

"This is what they call Heavenly Scripture? It's completely impossible to understand!"

Qin Ming, standing at a distance, became interested upon hearing the commotion.

"This scene is most likely aimed at Zhou Great Sage and his group," Ji Xingran secretly informed him.

"Why do you say that?" Qin Ming asked.

Ji Xingran said, "There are rumors that the Emperor Worm and the Traveler Civilization are getting close. The fact that the people in that dojo are displaying such an unfathomable True Scripture might be an attempt to make things difficult for Fairy Meng and Great Sage Zhou?"

As the legendary future Great Sage, his innate talent and comprehension are naturally unparalleled, allowing him to look down upon all living beings.

Perhaps the Traveler Civilization wanted to use a few people to try and help decipher the secrets of the stone bricks.

More likely, they had a very close relationship with the Emperor Worm.

Niu Wuwei said, "Is that so? Could it be that the Emperor Worm has some understanding of these strange symbols, and is using this to compare and enlighten Sister Meng?"

"Zhou Tian and the others are now in an awkward position?"

He also became interested. As Hidden Disciples of the Tushita Palace, his talent was astonishingly high. He had unparalleled confidence in his ability to study scriptures and comprehend the Tao. Who else but him could do it?

"Does the Traveler Civilization have Great Sage?" Qin Ming asked.

Ji Xingran shook his head and said, "I don't know. Currently, not even a single Saint Disciple from that dojo has shown up."

Qin Ming pondered that if such a top-tier organization had Great Sage who still struggled to analyze the stone bricks, then even if Zhou Tian and Mu Shinian were to participate, they would likely still be in trouble.

Soon after, many people left with furrowed brows and regrets, unable to grasp the true secrets of the True Scripture.

Many people are turning their attention to the several Great Sage, with some looking forward to their performance.

A Saint Disciple of the Godlike Society, One Dragon Woman, with outstanding beauty and a pair of jade dragon horns on her head, walked forward with light steps and radiant eyes.

However, after a long while, she sighed, unable to understand.

"Even the Saint Disciple can't figure it out, and the venerable Old Senior can't either. It seems this stone brick remains unsolved."

"The Emperor Worm may have gained some insight."

"That's just a rumor. Who could possibly devise a magic solution for these damaged stone bricks?"

"Perhaps it's true. After all, those scribbles look a lot like insects or dragons moving around. It's not impossible that the Emperor Worm gained some insight."

Whether they were older or younger, everyone stepped forward and lined up in an orderly fashion, with wave after wave of people coming and going at the stone bricks.

"Once the crowd disperses, I will step forward to seek enlightenment," Niu Wuwei said confidently.

Qin Ming was also itching to try it out. Since he embarked on the path of cultivation, no scripture had ever stumped him. Today, he really wanted to see it for himself.

Could it be that before he even goes on an adventure with Meng Zhiyu, Qian Cheng, and the others, he will obtain a mysterious True Scripture here first?

Without a doubt, Qin Ming was very confident.

Meng Zhiyu, Taiyi, and the others did not rush to take action, Niu Wuwei and Qin Ming naturally remained calm as well.

"Where is the Emperor Worm? Why haven't we seen it?"

"After this insect transforms, will it be male or female?"

People are talking about the Emperor Worm, and many are curious about it.

"It is said to be a man."

Generally speaking, there are more male experts in the cultivation world.

This aligns with the facts, just as among the Six Great Sages, only one is a woman.

There are three ancient figures among the Torn Cloth, only one of whom is a woman.

Not long after, Qin Ming saw a familiar-looking young man. After staring at him closely, he finally recognized him as the unfathomable Daoist Peng of the Sky Race.

At the same time, Qian Cheng looked up, his eyes deep, staring at the leading figure of the younger generation of the Sky Race.

Daoist Peng turned around and met his gaze.

It was clear that the two people's eyes, accompanied by lightning runes, had briefly collided, with arcs of electricity intertwining before quickly dissipating.

Some speculate that Daoist Peng is likely a powerful figure who stands on the side of the Emperor Worm.

"This is quite unexpected. There are quite a few powerful forces here, and some unparalleled geniuses and Anomalies have also appeared one after another."

"Yes, mainly because the place that Meng Zhiyu and Taiyi are going to explore is too extraordinary. They leaked the news, and many people went to investigate. They discovered that the ancient land is indeed reviving, and burning scriptures are beginning to fall."

The number of people in front of the stone brick in the hall decreased slightly.

Accompanied by Ji Xingran, Qin Ming and Niu Wuwei walked forward and got a little closer.

Niu Wuwei said, "Let's wait a little longer. The noise will only hinder our enlightenment."

"Who is that person?" Qin Ming looked up and saw a woman not far away, surrounded by a crowd of people, who were extremely popular.

People would occasionally approach Meng Zhiyu, but they were mostly middle-aged or older people.

Her status was so high that few of her peers dared to offer her a toast.

As the woman approached, she was surrounded by mostly young people.

Ji Xingran looked ahead, her face showing surprise, and said, "It's her, Wen Lingxi, the most famous genius in Jade Radiance Immortal City, whose beauty is unparalleled."

Qin Ming was surprised, but that was all. What did a city's prodigies amount to? Even if it was known as a celestial city, it wouldn't matter.

Ji Xingran Xingran's expression was solemn as she secretly told him, "She is no ordinary person. Within eight million miles of Jade Radiance City, Wen Lingxi is the number one among our generation."

Niu Wuwei surprised and said, "If she claims to be the best in such a large region, then she should be Saint Disciple, right?"

Ji Xingran said, "Perhaps even more powerful."

It is said that when this woman was young, she was taken away by an Peerless Expert from Cultivation Civilization and received profound and unfathomable Cultivation Method. In that distant land, she has already become Dao Child level figure.

Ji Xingran said, "It is said that she encountered some problems in her cultivation; otherwise, she might have been a top disciple among the Dao Child, perhaps even comparable to a Great Sage."

After this woman returned, for some reason, her Lineage actively made arrangements for her, seemingly to find her a suitable dao companion.

Niu Wuwei frowned and said, "How could someone as young and with boundless potential have already arranged dao companion?"

He continued, "Could it be that you caused Great Calamity and ran back?"

Ji Xingran shook her head and said, "It's just a rumor that it's related to something going wrong with her training, but I don't know if it's true or not."

In the past two months, the Wen Family's doorstep has been worn down by suitors. Not only in Jade Radiance Immortal City, but also in the surrounding areas, and even in distant major sects, people have come to propose marriage.

Qin Ming nodded and said, "No wonder she was surrounded by so many people."

Let alone the possibility that he might become a future Great Sage, even if he were merely Saint Disciple, his future achievements would still be astonishing.

Moreover, this is a woman.

In the Night Mist World, female Great Sage are fewer in number, outnumbering males.

"You two, come here."

Beside Wen Lingxi, a woman spoke, pointing at Qin Ming and Niu Wuwei.

Niu Wuwei frowned and said, "He's gotten used to being the center of attention, hasn't he? Even the women around him are radiant and so high-profile."

Ji Xingran said, "Why don't we go and take a look? If she really is Great Sage, and if she has feelings for you, she would truly be worthy of your status."

He looked at Qin Ming, then at Niu Wuwei.

Before Qin Ming and Niu Wuwei respond to Ji Xingran, the woman beside Wen Lingxi spoke up again, "Forget it, you don't need to come over. You two don't need to register; even if your names are there, they'll be crossed out."

Holding a pen in one hand and a book in the other, she glanced over casually and then rejected the idea.

Ji Xingran stunned. These were two Great Sage, and they were actually eliminated by the other side with a single word?

He opened his mouth, as if to say something.

Qin Ming waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it.

At this moment, Zhou Tian squeezed through the crowd and arrived in front of the stone bricks, ready to study the Heavenly Scripture.

The Saint Disciple Dragon Girl of the Godlike Society frowned and withdrew from the area, clearly unwilling to leave.

She looked up and happened to see Qin Ming and Niu Wuwei. She immediately stepped forward with great enthusiasm, because she knew that these were two Great Sage and wanted to ask them for guidance.

At the same time, a commotion arose in the distance, and a young man fully covered in armor entered the hall, attracting the attention of many people.

He is— the Emperor Worm!

Instantly, countless eyes in the entire hall turned to look at him.

People had a premonition that he would come here, but the prospect of witnessing the legendary forbidden species, a creature that had been difficult to find for countless eras, still sparked heated discussions.

After arriving at this place, the Emperor Worm looked directly at Meng Zhiyu and said, "I have some understanding of this stone brick. I wonder if you can analyze it more?"

His eyes were like Abyss, so deep that looking into them seemed to draw one's soul in.

Everyone sensed that the newcomers had ill intentions, and the atmosphere instantly became more tense.

The Emperor Worm then spoke up, "I have long heard that the Dream Insect Clan's ' Borrowing the Body to Comprehend the Dao is unparalleled in the world. If you cannot comprehend it yourself, you can seek cooperation with others."
