Is This Human Speech?

A group of ancient monsters tore through the night and descended from the sky. Each of them possessed a powerful aura and eyes like golden lamps, causing the surrounding void to slowly collapse.

In the Blood Moon, behind a jade table, the Purple-Haired Old Heavenly Immortal being put down his wine cup, rose, and greeted them with a smile, saying, "Everyone, the depths of the Night Mist World are extremely dangerous; the wondrous scenery is not to be admired lightly. Do not venture there lightly."

An elder from the Demon Court said in a deep voice, "Could it be more dangerous than you landlords?"

Among the group of visitors, there were naturally many beings from the Eighth Realm.

The Divine Substance they emitted distorted the Nine Heavens, dimming the rules and order of the sky until they were about to break.

The Blood Buddha suddenly opened his eyes, causing the space to become unstable and form a fault line, as if there were layers upon layers of realms piled up together.

In an instant, many young Great Sage felt their minds go blank, as if the Light of the Mind was about to be extinguished.

The Longevity Daoist was very old, yet he had a full head of black hair and a ruddy complexion. He smiled and said, "Have you all come in such great numbers to interrogate me?"

The old monster from the Tushita Palace spoke up, "You kidnapped disciples from various sects, and you're acting like nothing happened?"

The mysterious disappearance of the Great Sage from various Supreme Dao Field overnight naturally caused a huge uproar.

Who would be in a good mood after their "child" goes missing?

Although most of these Great Sage are incarnations, they still represent the face of their respective great sects.

A large group of old monsters arrived together, full of confidence. Even if they had mistakenly entered the core area of Night Mist World, they were confident that they could break through it and turn the world upside down.

In the Blood Moon, the Purple-Haired Old Heavenly Immortal stood in mid-air, sighing, "Everyone, haven't we already explained? We are the victims."

The elders from the Profound Origin Hall, Sacred Fire Palace, Origin Spirit Dojo, Purple Pole Divine Court had all arrived in the night sky, feeling deeply wronged.

"We'd have to be crazy to provoke so many Supreme Dao Field at once; this is a completely Unforeseen Disaster."

"Even if we are all of one mind and consider ourselves very strong, we would not intentionally make enemies for ourselves. What reason is there to kidnap so many young Great Sage?"

Even the Blood Buddha and the Longevity Daoist had already risen, successively withdrawing their boundless Buddhist light and the Extraordinary Field of the Daoist school, and transforming into pavilions, towers, bridges, and flowing water, as if opening up a gentle immortal Immortal Dao Field in the void, inviting a group of old monsters to take their seats, and serving them the most top-grade Enlightenment Tea.

The Purple-Haired Old Heavenly Immortal said, "Everyone, someone wants to harm our Four Dao Fields."

A powerful figure from the Primordial Yellow Dao Field spoke up, "Looking back at history, your research into immortality and your desire for eternal life have resulted in Blood Calamity that cannot be concealed. It is understandable that some people wish to act on behalf of Heaven to uphold justice."

This is true; after the Four Dao Fields migrated into the depths of the Night Mist World, they became mysterious and unpredictable. For a period of time, the territory they ruled was dark and bloody.

Blood Buddha, "Past events are too painful to recall; let us only consider today's misunderstanding."

What could he say? He himself was a product of the Longevity Calamity, Four Dao Fields could not clear his name. They were still conducting various Longevity Experiment.

"You can inquire carefully whether any of the Great Sage in Various Dao Fields have been targeted, or whether any have been captured and used as 'material' for immortality. I guarantee that not a single one."

"On the contrary, they caused a great disturbance on the earth, severely disrupting the order of this world."

The Purple-Haired Old Heavenly Immortal being complained, looking utterly helpless.

Later on, he even felt quite heartbroken.

"Do you know what your disciples, those Great Sage, have done? They are all talented individuals, yet they overthrow great sects just to obtain Immortal Medicine. They feign divine powers, becoming national advisors and Protector God General, wielding power over the world while indulging in the company of beauties. In a few years, they will bring disaster to the country and its people."

In the Moon Palace, many people felt they had been singled out.

Even Zhou Tian touched his nose, then felt wronged. He hadn't acted recklessly when he became the "Little National Preceptor." He slept later than a dog and got up earlier than a rooster every day, and was visited by powerful and wealthy people every day, asking him to do divination.

Was it easy for him to acquire just a few Great Medicine?

"Some even broke into the Sacred Land at night to steal divine treasures."

This time, Fang Zhiwei, Old Zuo, Cao Wudao, Su Lingshu, and others were all on the list.

"I have to say, some kids are really too wild. Wherever they go, they cause chaos. One even dared to single-handedly storm a country's capital, seize power, and become emperor."

Upon hearing this, the group of old monsters looked at each other strangely. Are all young people these days so fierce? Their methods are truly audacious.

"If he had stopped there, it would have been fine, but his invasions were like fire, and he even led his people to overthrow the Sacred Land of this world. In just about three months, he will become the First Emperor of a unified empire."

The group of old monsters were stunned, and their faces trembled slightly.

In the Moon Palace, many Great Sage and True Immortal of this realm couldn't help but look at Qin Ming. Upon careful consideration, they realized that this guy had indeed completely let himself go.

The Dharma King of Yujing, Wei Guanxuan, coughed and said, "Youth—it's wonderful!"

Is this the attitude of your elders in Jade Capital? A bunch of old monsters thought he would put on a show and give them a lecture, but this is it?

Wei Guanxuan said, "Why are you all looking at me? We've all been young before, we should understand. This generation has ideas and dares to take risks."

Their actions, demonstrating courage and determination to restore order to the world, are far superior to what we did back then. This is commendable and quite impressive.

The group fell silent, all thinking to themselves: Your protectiveness is too obvious, and your reasons are even more perfunctory and ridiculously far-fetched.

Wei Guanxuan asked with concern, "Child, are you hurt? Have you been wronged?"

Upon hearing this, the Purple-Haired Old Heavenly Immortal's eyes widened, as if to say, "Is This Human Speech?? That troublemaker has become the First Emperor! If this is considered a grievance, then give me several baskets of him!"

The elder from the Primordial Yellow Dao Field nodded and asked, "I just heard that a Sacred Land was besieging you. Did it damage your foundation?"

Clearly, he knew about Jiang Ran's relationship with Qin Ming and immediately stood up for the latter.

The old monster of the Myriad Spirits Sect sighed, "Alone in a foreign land, this young man did not think of protecting himself, but instead stepped forward to help the locals end the war, standardize cart tracks and writing. He truly has ideas, integrity, and the qualities of an ancient Sage."

At this moment, not only the Purple-Haired Old Heavenly Immortal and others, but even the Blood Buddha and the Longevity Daoist widened their eyes even more, wanting to say: I'm just kidding.

The elder of the Myriad Spirits Sect remained calm, showing no sign of overreacting, because his own sect's Great Sage Si Yeli, had secretly reported to him that the Emperor Qin had been praised even more excessively.

Qin Ming quickly responded, greeted the elders, and personally went forward to offer them tea to express his gratitude.

Master Guan Xu, an Eighth Realm expert from the Tushita Palace, was very pleased and nodded repeatedly as he looked at Qin Ming.

However, he quickly frowned and said, "Your Dragon Robe is torn. What happened? Were you in a bloody battle not long ago?"

He was somewhat displeased. This was the son-in-law of the Tushita Palace. The higher-ups of the Four Dao Fields knew they were coming. Were they still sending people to suppress this good boy?

The old Guan Xu said in a deep voice, "This is really going too far. Not only are his clothes torn, but they are also stained with blood. What exactly do you Four Dao Fields want?"

Upon hearing this from a distance, Jing Zhi's red lips parted slightly, and she nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

She screamed inwardly, "Is This Human Speech?? Qin Ming's clothes were only slightly torn, and that old man said the Four Dao Fields went too far. And what about me? My thigh was used as a bargaining chip, and in the end, I even lost an arm."

Besides, the Crimson Bloodstains were spilled by her, not Qin Ming's.

The Dharma King of Yujing, Wei Guanxuan, frowned and said, "Knowing we were coming, you still dared to use such force; this is truly outrageous!"

The Purple-Haired Old Heavenly Immortal and the others immediately looked at Qin Ming. Did this kid not have a mouth? Was he playing dead at this crucial moment? He should have spoken up and explained immediately.

Qin Ming coughed and said, "Senior, please don't be angry, I'm... fine."

"That's it?" The old monsters from the Four Dao Fields, including Profound Origin Hall and Sacred Fire Palace, all wanted to grab him and force him to continue.

say.

As everyone just witnessed, the Jade Capital Demon severely injured Jing Zhi!

Qin Ming gritted his teeth and said no more.

Those present who were slow to react thought that Zheng Guang was a bit of a "troublemaker."

All the Great Sage Mind Connection and understood the truth.

Qin Ming knew very well that the Old Senior were merely looking for an entry point to negotiate with powerful figures like the Blood Buddha and the Longevity Daoist, so he naturally had to go along with the "general trend."

As expected, the other old monsters also joined the fray, taking part in the attack.

The old man from the Primordial Unity Hall spoke up, "Little Zuo, I heard you were ambushed by people from the Sacred Land?"

The Old Zuo"that Qin Ming mentioned, also known as Zuo Dao, had become a junior member of his own dojo.

The powerful figures from the Burning Dao Palace also looked at Su Lingshu and said, "Little Su, come here and let me see if your foundation is damaged. Are you trapped in someone else's Experiment Site? I'm sorry you've had to suffer these past few days."

The old monster from Inch-Void Mountain even called Fang Zhiwei to his side and examined her carefully.

The native ascendants, especially the high-ranking members of the major Sacred Land, all wore bitter expressions. It was clearly those specifically named who had launched a night raid on the Sacred Land's Immortal Medicine Garden!

In the night sky, a faint mist of light rises from the pavilions, towers, bridges, and streams that are formed from extraordinary matter, isolating them from the outside world.

Clearly, negotiations among the older generation have begun.

"Gentlemen, we have done our utmost to be hospitable hosts. We did not hunt down those young Great Sage, nor did we use them as subjects for our Longevity Experiment. In fact, we even wasted Immortal Medicine and thrones, suffering considerable losses. What else do you have to criticize?"

In fact, when a group of Great Sage entered this realm, they did not initially disturb the people in the Blood Moon.

It wasn't until recently, when the commotion they caused grew increasingly louder, that people noticed the anomalies on the ground.

The sudden intrusion of a group of Great Sage made the Four Dao Fields feel that something was seriously wrong, and they dared not take any rash actions.

"We've said all the nice things, what more do you want?"

In the end, even the old monsters from the Four Dao Fields couldn't help but slam their fists on the table, feeling that they were the biggest victims.

Outside, the All Immortals and a group of young Great Sage couldn't hear their words, but as they watched, they discovered that even the usually calm Blood Buddha had crimson eyes and a fierce glint in them, clearly enraged.

It's easy to imagine how infuriating this negotiation was; even the old lady was getting restless.

The old monsters of the Four Dao Fields, including the Sacred Fire Palace and the Purple Pole Divine Court, were truly fed up. It was one thing for those juniors to cause trouble here, but for a group of old monsters blocking the gate to try and take everything was simply outrageous!

"Don't go too far. Have you forgotten our origins?"

"This is the depths of the Night Mist World. We have established ourselves here, and we have nothing to fear!"

The Four Dao Fields were very powerful. Even before they migrated, they were already among the strongest Daoist centers. Over thousands of years, their research into longevity and immortality has made them even more terrifying.

"You four families want to start a war with the many dojos in the outer regions?"

"You old scoundrel, do you even have any sense of reason? We didn't kidnap your disciples and bring them here!"

After some negotiations, the old monster who had been banging on the table and glaring not long ago regained his aura as a senior expert and began to chat and laugh.

The Longevity Daoist spoke up, "This matter can be put behind us now. We should work together to find out who really caused this commotion!"

The Four Dao Fields have agreed to allow these old monsters who come to visit to take back some "local specialties".

The loss of members of the Great Sage was expected, mostly due to "internal strife," with only a very small number dying at the hands of the Natives.

Before breaking down the door, a group of old monsters from various major sects had reached a gentleman's agreement: in extreme circumstances, if a bloody battle between Great Sage resulted in someone's death, these senior powerhouses would try their best to restrain themselves and avoid conflict.

This is mainly because most of the Great Sage who entered were incarnations, with only a few walking outside in their true forms.

Zhou Dingdao, Fang Zhiwei, Cao Wudao, Lu Zizai, Qin Ming, and others were all summoned because their hands were stained with the blood of other Great Sage.

Qin Ming said, "I was truly wronged. I was ambushed and had no choice but to fight back."

"You still have prisoners in your hands?" Some old monsters showed surprise. These troublemakers with holy blood on their hands were indeed a real headache.

"We have to trade it for Immortal Medicine!" Qin Ming blurted out.

In his hands, there were also two living Great Sage, Qi Geng and Bai Heng, whom he controlled with Mind-Misting Method and placed in the Killing Array that Slaying Ten Thousand Immortals.

Of course, because he had stolen the Longevity Force, Qin Ming erased their recent memories after entering the Blood Moon and being able to use Great God.

"These are the disciples of Jade Capital? You're all tough nut to crack! Right now, when we, who come from the outer regions, are united against a common enemy, you want to exchange your One of Us for immortal Immortal Medicine?" an old monster expressed his dissatisfaction.

Wei Guanxuan said, "After being ambushed, Qin Ming captured a wild, ownerless Great Sage using his own abilities," so why can't it be traded? If your dojo doesn't want it, then so be it!

The old monsters from Inch-Void Mountain, Heaven-Earth Dao Field, and Illusory Enlightenment Platform all nodded in agreement upon hearing this, after all, their own dojos' Great Sage possessed...

There were also prisoners who wanted to exchange for the Immortal Medicine.

"Listen to this, is this human language? Wild, ownerless—can you say anything any worse? Like father, like son!"

After the group of old monsters sorted out the various messy relationships and problems, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They could only say that this generation was incredibly troublesome, and there were no easy opponents.

"They even set up a betting pool?"

"Is that Lu Zizai your Illusory Enlightenment Platform who was just summoned here?"

"It's said he comes from Night Prefecture and is Qin Ming's brother; both are talented individuals."

Wei Guanxuan was dissatisfied, believing it to be regional discrimination.

The name Night Prefecture inexplicably left an impression on a group of old monsters.

"Jade Capital lingers there, suspended high, never to leave, rumored to be for something hidden beneath Night Prefecture— "

Half an hour later, a large group of people, young and old, passed through the void rift and the naturally existing Teleportation Gate, heading towards the territory where the Purple Pole Divine Court was located.

A group of old monsters, thinking, "Since we're already here, we naturally want to visit the four ancient dojos, and we also want to explore the depths of the Night Mist World..."

Take a turn.

In fact, they also had no choice but to travel far away and make the journey.

In that Martial Arts World where magic was suppressed, special Immortal Medicine were produced, allowing cultivators to improve their cultivation rapidly, but unfortunately, their lifespans were generally short.

"Effort and reward are balanced; otherwise, wouldn't it be a shortcut to immortality to cultivate to the True Immortal in the Experiment Site and then extend one's lifespan in the outside world?"

The fact that the Four Dao Fields regarded this place as Experiment Site and never used it as their headquarters speaks volumes.

Those who emerge have two choices: save their lives or preserve their lives.

If one is trying to save their life, their cultivation will "collapse," and they will be unable to maintain their True Immortal.

If it's under warranty, even if it goes outside and its lifespan suddenly increases significantly, it will burn out in the shortest possible time, ultimately still corresponding to old age, with not many years left to live.

"If that's the case, what's the point of you conducting experiments year after year?"

"We have naturally found a solution to the problem, but the cost is extremely high, requiring at least a thousand years of accumulation. Therefore, we rarely guide True Immortal from the Experiment Site to ascend."

The Secret Medicine concocted by the Four Dao Fields can resolve the hidden dangers.

Many of the main and auxiliary materials were found in extremely dangerous areas deep within the Night Mist World, sometimes resulting in more losses than gains.

The Purple-Haired Old Heavenly Immortal said, "Therefore, you young Great Sage of your Daoist temples have truly benefited greatly by receiving our favor this time."

The old monster from Inch-Void Mountain spoke up, "Come on, they've only been inside for three months. They haven't been assimilated by the rules there, so the impact on them is limited. They won't consume much of the Secret Medicine at all."

The Purple-Haired Old Heavenly Immortal, "They don't take Secret Medicine, and their bodies are fine. However, it will be difficult for them to retain the cultivation they gained in that world. They might gradually lose it, and their cultivation level will drop."

"Alright then, children, bow to these elders and repay their kindness."

Qin Ming, Meng Zhiyu, Lu Zizai, and the others exchanged glances. They had found some rather hidden clues in the Imperial Ancient Texts, pointing to a mysterious, long-standing Mysterious Dark Force.

"It seems that some people from the Four Dao Fields are also Secluded Cultivation in that world, but those people don't stay for long. Fortunately, we didn't encounter them and no direct conflict broke out."

The territory ruled by the Purple Pole Divine Court boasts vast cities, numerous Super Fire Spring, and a multitude of advanced races, making it a place of outstanding people and abundant resources, and incomparably magnificent.

This was different from what everyone had guessed. They originally thought that after these places were transformed into dark dojos, the area would become extremely bloody, with hardly a human being to be seen for miles around. But the opposite happened.

The old monster of the Heaven-Earth Dao Field succinctly explained the truth with a single sentence, "A rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow."

The Purple-Haired Old Heavenly Immortal being retorted, "What rabbit? We are now the Azure Dragon Soaring in the Sky, we no longer eat grass!"

"Come on, don't think I didn't recognize who the Blood Buddha is. It's only because the people from the Great Thunderclap Temple didn't come that I'm fighting you to the death!"

"The original form of the Blood Buddha had already died; we granted him a new life through Immortality Secret Art."

"I advise you to be kind and not to raid tombs in the outer areas, otherwise you might encounter a supreme tomb owner who is not completely dead and has been resurrected, and things will not end well."

"Old Cloth —you're back!"

Qin Ming had just finished his medicinal bath when he was astonished to find that Exotic Gold Cloth, who had been away from home for many days, had returned without a trace, hidden among his clothes.

"You habitual offender, this is your second time absconding with funds."

Qin Ming quickly released the External Demons and let it soak in a medicinal bath to resolve its problems.

Where did you go? What did you do?

Even when pressed repeatedly, Old Cloth remained taciturn, keeping quiet whenever possible.

Only after Qin Ming repeatedly pressed it did it reveal that it had recently gone to trace a New Cloth Fragment.

"Hiss!"

Qin Ming gasped in the night mist. This was the first time Old Cloth had abandoned him, actively searching for New Cloth Fragment without even arranging a fight for him. Did that piece of cloth on the other side not have an owner?

"Its owner is Puppet Body crafted from Lightning Strike Wood, at the late stage of the Eighth Realm."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's expression immediately changed. This meant that there was someone behind that New Cloth? At what level? Could it be the Ninth Realm?

Old Cloth explained, "The creature behind it has been dead for over a thousand years. There may be hope for its revival, or it may never reappear."

This time, it was that Puppet Body caused the chaos, sending a group of Great Sage into the Longevity Experiment Site.

"Perhaps the piece of cloth on his body spotted me, or perhaps the Puppet Body has its eye on you group of Great Sage and has some designs on immortality."

Old Cloth informed him that the Puppet Body was in very poor condition, and its Light of the Mind had been extinguished.

"Old Cloth, did you do this?" Qin Ming asked, lost in thought.

The Exotic Gold Cloth is too powerful; did it send away an Eighth Realm being?

"It simply died of old age," Old Cloth refused to admit.

Qin Ming examined it closely and found that it had indeed grown larger.

"You have grown up and are now a relatively mature piece of Exotic Gold Cloth. From now on, you can go out hunting on your own and support yourself."

Old Cloth: "----"

It admitted that this time, together with the cloth on Fang Zhiwei's body, they tore apart the newly discovered Exotic Gold Cloth, and in the end, the two sides split the spoils equally.

Qin Ming felt strange; why hadn't Old Cloth arranged for him to face off against Fang Zhiwei? It had been dragging on for a long time.

It revealed the truth, saying, "Neither I nor that piece of Exotic Gold Cloth are confident. Even after merging with it, we will still be in a dominant position. Let's wait a little longer."

"What? The Emperor Qin among the outsiders once sparred with the Great Sage Jing Zhi and defeated him?"

"I don't believe that Fairy Jing will suffer a crushing defeat."

Outside, news of the duel between Qin Ming and Jing Zhi spread throughout the Purple Pole Divine Court, causing a sensation.

Moreover, the rumors became increasingly outrageous.

When they arrived at another Supreme Dao Field — Profound Origin Hall —the discussion grew even louder.

"The Emperor Qin won a great victory, having once possessed one of Jing Zhi Jingzhi's legs."

Upon arriving at the area where the Sacred Fire Palace is located, the news took an even more distorted turn.

"The Emperor Qin once had an affair with Jing Zhi."

Upon hearing the rumors, Qin Ming was dumbfounded. Who on earth was ruining his reputation?

Jing Zhi was immediately informed, and she was so angry that her red lips trembled. She then overturned the Seven-Treasure Dressing Table.

"I challenge the Emperor Qin to seek justice for my Junior Sister!"

Some of the veteran powerhouses of the Sacred Fire Palace were provoked. Besides the "young and strong" who were two or three hundred years old, there were also Senior Brother were eight hundred years old and Senior Sister who were over a thousand years old.

Qin Ming secretly sent a message: "If you want to challenge the Emperor Qin, you must first get past Jiang Xiyi and Yan Chuan. After defeating them, then you can go and face Fang Zhiwei and Zhou Dingdao."

Not limited to the Four Dao Fields, people also come from surrounding areas such as Perching-Star Cliff.

"Old Six, are you kidding me?"

"What's with the insults? They're so annoying!"

Fortunately, a message came that relieved Qin Ming.

Many old monsters wanted to explore the safe zone deep within the Night Mist World, hoping to witness the ultimate truth of this mysterious place.

The relocation of the Four Dao Fields, including Profound Origin Hall and Sacred Fire Palace, from afar to this place truly marks their entry into an extremely dangerous area of Night Mist World.

Qin Ming naturally signed up immediately to join the Old Senior.

In fact, all the Great Sage were tempted and followed along the journey, wanting to see the deepest truth.

That day, accompanied by high-ranking figures from the Four Dao Fields, they set off immediately.

Two days later, everyone stood under the Eternal Night, gazing ahead, and were all too shocked to speak.
