Stumbling into a celestial household
"Aha, hahaha..." In the Jade Palace, Virtual Spirit Xi, dressed in purple, disregarded her image and laughed so hard that the beads on her head shook violently.
She still wasn't wearing shoes or socks, rising barefoot onto the velvet carpet, her toenails shimmering with a purplish light. She said, "No wonder he's Jiang Yutian; wherever he goes, he's a prominent figure, always attracting attention."
She abandoned her usual aloof demeanor, her flawless face now beaming with smiles. Her graceful figure swayed as she paced back and forth in the Jade Palace, saying, "Sharing joy is better than enjoying it alone; we must spread this message far and wide."
Just then, someone reported, "The team that killed the Sick Heavenly Dragon has arrived."
Virtual Spirit Xi nodded, preparing to personally greet them, as she was in a very good mood; these helpers had earned her a lot of face.
Suddenly, her expression changed slightly. Even though there was a magic array in the Jade Palace to block her view, her Heavenly Ear was unaffected, and she could still hear the conversation outside.
Qin Ming asked, "Is Immortal Maiden Xu satisfied with the gift?"
"Very satisfied," one of Virtual Spirit Xi's followers replied with a smile.
Now everyone knows that Jiang Yutian has lost face.
This person was at odds with Virtual Spirit Xi and intended to obstruct her, but ended up encountering a group of fierce outsiders. These people were not intimidated at all and gave Jiang Yutian a thorough lesson.

"Judging from this, the craftsmanship and temperature control of the Heart-Guard Armor are perfect." "Immortal Maiden Xu has a magnanimous heart."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"I meant she was very magnanimous and didn't hold it against us for killing Sick Heavenly Dragon."
The people standing there, responsible for greeting the distinguished guests, froze on the spot. Something felt off; what kind of indecent words were these?
Deep within the Jade Palace, Virtual Spirit Xi stopped, her smile frozen in place.
It was obvious that those people mistakenly believed that the Heart-Guard Armor had been delivered to this place.
Virtual Spirit Xi was as depressed as she had been earlier. She regained her cold and aloof demeanor, and her smile had shifted to the faces of the outsiders.
She instructed, "Take them to rest, let them... never mind, don't neglect them."
As for herself, she didn't want to welcome it.
Qin Ming, Si Yeli, and the others were invited to a hot spring area, where golden bamboo groves stretched out, rustling in the breeze and swaying like celestial beings showering down their light.
Deep within the bamboo forest, numerous springs gush forth, Lingering white mist. These are said to be sacred springs, where prolonged soaking can Bathe and Wash Marrow and transform one's constitution. In addition, there are several elegant residences here, each courtyard filled with the fragrance of herbs, and vibrant with colorful vines, exotic flowers, and divine herbs, creating a breathtaking scene.
"A good place."
Even Niu Wuwei, Mu Shinian, and others, who came from the Supreme Dao Field, couldn't help but nod in approval upon seeing such a residence. Not to mention the hot springs, the medicinal herbs in the courtyard alone were of celestial quality, but unfortunately, they were far from mature.
Zhou Tian smiled and said, "Picking them now would be a waste, like Fifth Brother chewing on peonies."
Niu Wuwei said, "Shut up!"
Qin Ming, Zhou Tian, and the others completely relaxed, soaking in the medicinal spring. It washed away not only their fatigue but also the dust from their souls; the celestial-level spring was indeed extraordinary.
Its effects are not as potent as true Immortal Medicine; its medicinal properties are mild and its strength lies in its long-lasting effects. If one lives here year-round, one can prolong one's life.
Qin Ming stepped out of the hermitage and chose the open-air hot spring in the courtyard. The main reason was that the scenery here was pleasant. The sandalwood trees emitted a strange fragrance, and ribbon-like spirit vines hung down, with Moonflower at the ends, rippling with a soft halo. It was very close to the medicinal spring, within reach.
Qin Ming sat cross-legged, and the medicinal power seeped into his pores.
His natural talent goes without Say More; even a celestial-grade spring could hardly alter his inherent nature. For him, this place truly became just an ordinary medicinal spring to relieve fatigue.
He closed his eyes, reflecting on his experiences along the way.
"Have we arrived at the core area of Night Mist World? It doesn't feel quite right," he pondered to himself. This place is definitely not simple; even the "Bull Rider" from the Tushita Palace once incurred debts here.
"Isn't this a world shrouded in Eternal Night?" Qin Ming couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it and instead studied what he had learned along the way.
Hui Chang personally demonstrated the "Myriad Aperture Illumination Art" to him, like a bright lamp in the dark night, guiding him and inspiring him greatly.
This classic text is worth studying deeply; each time you read it, you will gain different insights.
"No wonder the old leader of the contemporary Godlike Society went to great lengths to obtain this True Scripture; it truly is a supreme text."
After a long period of contemplation, Qin Ming's flesh and blood began to glow with countless orifices, brimming with vitality, like countless stars shining in the Eternal Night, while his body Lingering in a faint aura of decay.
Afterwards, he pondered the Secret Technique written on the pale gold paper, feeling that he had not yet had enough.
"This overt method mainly focuses on the subtle control of the Spirit Domain, with various complex roadmaps. Overall, it seems like a display of skill... One careless move could harm oneself, and it seems to lack some of the true essence." Qin Ming guessed that the pale gold paper was not the complete method, which was quite a pity.
"The route map is extremely complicated, winding and turning. What is its purpose?" Wisps of steam rise and hang from the vine tips. At this moment, all the flower buds are in full bloom, followed by a shower of petals, carrying a brilliant glow, like stars and the moon sliding down and falling into the hot spring.
On Qin Ming's head, shoulders, and other parts, there were also sparkling flower petals, like Moon Essence rippling.
Just then, the courtyard door was pushed open, Si Yeli, in her long dress trailing on the ground, carried a tray in her slender hands with a wine pot, Night-Glow Cup, and a platter of sliced dragon meat and dragon liver, as well as fresh fruit.
She was tall and slender with curvaceous figure, and surprisingly, like Virtual Spirit Xi, she was barefoot, her delicate jade feet gleaming white, practically perfect, her toenails painted with vibrant Moonflower nail polish. She stood gracefully beneath the sandalwood tree, her beauty surpassing even the flowers themselves.
"Ming Ge." Si Yeli put down the tray and personally poured the wine.
"Ye Li..."
"Ming Ge, don't Say More." Si Yeli held the wine glass in both hands and handed it over, her eyebrows curving and her smile radiant, captivating all who saw it.
She parted her red lips slightly and said, "I've used half a Immortal Medicine to ask Zhou Tian to scrub Niu Wuwei."
Qin Ming: "?"
In an instant, he understood: Xiao Si had asked Lao Si to block Niu Wuwei's courtyard gate. Qin Ming: "..."
The thought of Zhou Tian, with a body as wide as a door and a burly build comparable to Xiang Yiwu, scrubbing Niu Wuwei's back... is as simple as a bee stinging your eyes.
At this moment, amidst the sprawling Golden Palace and Jade Palace, many people were discussing and laughing.
"It's said that the visiting team knew the rules. They felt the meat dragon didn't belong to Jiang Yutian, and since it was cooked, they couldn't forget its rightful owner, so they invited him to try it." "Know the rules? That's blatant provocation!"
Many people know that Sick Heavenly Dragon has extraordinary roots and a very powerful bloodline. He is destined to rise in the future and may not be weaker than the core successors of other families.
And that's it? It was killed in just a few moves. Was it a group of powerful outsiders, or was that "Sick Heavenly Dragon" overrated, or was the latter too weak?
"Oh my, this is truly fantastic news! I'm dying of laughter! Will that most important return gift— the Heart-Guard Armor —bring Jiang Yutian to break down his defenses and personally take action?"
"Not necessarily. He has quite a few talented people around him. Unless Virtual Spirit Xi directly challenges him, Old Jiang will remain firmly seated on the high platform."
The group of people around him were in an uproar.
If it weren't for the rules, the group from the Purple-Golden Palace would have already made a move. They felt that the outsiders were ignorant and arrogant, daring to humiliate Jiang Yutian in this way, which was tantamount to humiliating all of them.
Let alone outsiders, even among the many ancient Dao Child and the strongest successors of the Daoist temples in this world, few are willing to provoke that faction.
"Hiss, I just got the latest information. It seems there was a misunderstanding. Those outsiders originally intended to give the Heart-Guard Armor to Virtual Spirit Xi, but they gave it to the wrong person."
"It's said that they even seriously evaluated the quality of the Heart-Guard Armor, which infuriated Virtual Spirit Xi to the point that she almost lost her life."
"Haha... One gift has simultaneously displeased the heirs of two ancient sects. These outsiders are truly formidable!"
Upon hearing the news, Virtual Spirit Xi stomped her snow-white foot hard, nearly collapsing the Jade Palace shrouded by a magic array.
It is clear that someone is deliberately spreading rumors to further provoke trouble.
"What happened?" Jiang Yutian emerged from seclusion ahead of schedule. Even though he was isolated in the Secret Chamber, he could sense that things were not peaceful outside.
He was tall and slender, shrouded in Immortal Seal from head to toe. With each step he took, traces of the Dao were left behind, accompanied by the blooming of Golden Lotus.
His every move was in harmony with heaven and earth, carrying the aura of the Great Dao.
Why do you all look so pale?
"Senior Brother, we're all furious that someone humiliated you." A White-Clad Woman spoke up, her bright eyes flashing with sharp light, clearly indignant.
Jiang Yutian frowned, sensing something, and asked, "The Sick Heavenly Dragon has been defeated?"
Yes, it's here.
The White-Clad Woman opened a jade box, inside which was roasted dragon breast meat, golden and glistening. Although it was no longer steaming hot, a rich aroma still wafted out.
Inside the Purple-Golden Palace, someone secretly swallowed hard.
"You..." The White-Clad Woman heard this and turned to glare at him.
Jiang Yutian remained expressionless. His pet Heavenly Dragon had been mercilessly killed. Those outsiders were too ruthless, showing no mercy whatsoever.
He spoke indifferently, "If you calculate the time, it's been a little over a day. Are there any among them with such high comprehension? Could it be that they have actually tied my record?" Immediately, everyone fell silent.
Because, strictly speaking, the other party comprehended the magic on the pale gold paper in half a day, causing the numerous Immortal Seal to extinguish naturally and peacefully without damaging the paper.
Jiang Yutian remained calm and asked directly, "How long did that person take?"
"Half a day!" a Man in Green informed him.
In an instant, the temperature in the entire Purple-Golden Palace dropped by two degrees.
Jiang Yutian remained silent, his eyes like Abyss, growing ever more profound.
"Senior Brother, they humiliated you and even gave you a Heart-Guard Armor," the White-Clad Woman told him, and then opened another jade box in front of everyone.
A Heart-Guard Armor lay there, exquisitely crafted with fine Dragon Scale that shimmered brilliantly; it was indeed an extraordinary inner armor, but unfortunately, it was an item reserved for women.
In an instant, a resounding crescendo echoed from Jiang Yutian's body, as if an High Antiquity behemoth had awakened within him, emanating an aura that made everyone present feel suffocated.
The entire palace was shaking, as if it were about to explode.
"Let's go, I'll challenge Virtual Spirit Xi." Jiang Yutian was decisive and stood up without hesitation. It wasn't just because he was assertive, but also because he had confidence. He wasn't someone who was bound by rules and believed in speaking his mind directly.
"Isn't this too hasty? Senior Brother, are you really going to start by challenging Virtual Spirit Xi?" Jiang Yutian calmly replied, "It doesn't matter who I fight, regardless of their background."
As expected, Jiang Yutian remained true to his old ways, readily overthrowing anyone who dared to block his path, displaying an overwhelming level of dominance.
"Those outsiders are indeed extraordinary, but they're likely to be in big trouble if they run into Jiang Yutian."
"Don't worry, even if Virtual Spirit Xi loses, she will protect those people. She won't just watch them get hurt."
No one expected that the official competition would be brought forward, with Jiang Yutian kicking off the first battle by directly challenging Virtual Spirit Xi, who also has an extremely high status and position.
A large group of people stormed out of the Jade Palace.
Virtual Spirit Xi was not intimidated and accepted the challenge directly, and had Qin Ming, Lu Zizai and others summoned.
Many people in the main seats of the other Golden Palace and Jade Palace, upon hearing the news, rushed over in person to watch the battle.
In an instant, the place became bustling with people.
The gates of the Jade Palace opened wide, revealing a martial arts training ground, a meditation hall, and a health retreat. From the outside, it appeared small in scale, but inside it was a world unto itself, containing the vastness of Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed.
Many people saw the group of outsiders and were speechless. These people... were too relaxed, weren't they? Some were wearing bathrobes, their hair was wet, and they had obviously just come out of the hot spring.
Zhou Tian said, "We're going to have a duel already? That's so sudden." He Niu Wuwei, going all out for half a Immortal Medicine, only to be soundly beaten by the Fifth Brother.
He had just returned to his spring and hadn't had enough of soaking yet.
"So it was you who... humiliated my senior Senior Brother?"
After the two sides met, there was no small talk. As soon as their identities were confirmed, a group of people approached Qin Ming, Lu Zizai, and the others, ready to attack.
"You must follow the rules," Virtual Spirit Xi said lightly.
"Fine, I am True Immortal, who dares to fight me?" a man in black robes said.
He discovered that these people were implicitly centered around Qin Ming.
Seeing this, he simply walked around it, not wanting to fight the leader.
He knew that he was no stronger than Sick Heavenly Dragon.
"Most of you are at the Ancestor Realm? We also have geniuses at the Sixth Realm among us. Please step forward. Since these people dared to humiliate Senior Brother Jiang, they need to pay the price. Let them atone for their sins with their bodies. Capture those three women to be your maids!"
Several figures appeared simultaneously; some attacked Si Yeli, some grabbed Meng Zhiyu, and others rushed towards Wen Lingxi.
Immediately, Mu Shinian, Niu Wuwei, and others were also targeted. A prodigy at the Ancestor Realm stepped forward and teleported nearby. Boom!
The first True Immortal to fall was blasted through the body by Lu Zizai's all-out Great Freedom Fist, his blood splattering across the sky as he flew hundreds of feet away, nearly being blown to pieces on the spot.
At Wen Lingxi's location, thousands of Sword Qi swept out, leaving the burly man who grabbed her with bloody holes all over his body. He screamed and staggered backward, falling backward with a thud.
The expert who rushed towards Si Yeli's pupils contracted as he saw the Four Sacred Spirits. Then, he felt excruciating pain all over his body, as if he were being torn to pieces, and was sent flying.
Its tattered body was so badly damaged that only a layer of skin remained connecting the parts; if it broke, it would surely fall apart on the spot.
"Heavenly Venerate!" Niu Wuwei was furious. Not long ago, Zhou Tian had blocked his door and asked him if he wanted a bath, which almost scared Niu to death. As a result, he was forced to fight Lao Si.
With a deafening roar, the Diamond Ring flew out, severing the body of the expert in front of him in two, sending blood raining down.
When Mu Shinian's Wheel of Time appeared, his opponent immediately backed down.
The Time Domain is intimidating no matter where you are, and coupled with the battle records of those around him, it's impossible for the challengers of the Purple-Golden Palace not to feel uneasy.
In an instant, the place fell silent; everyone was stunned.
"Everyone... Great Sage?"
"That's right!" Finally, someone realized, and then a commotion erupted. At this moment, Qin Ming blocked Jiang Yutian, and the two faced off in a tense standoff. Immortal Seal intertwined in mid-air, and Daoist rhymes surged, pouring down from the Sky Curtain. "Who is he?" Qin Ming secretly asked Virtual Spirit Xi.
He was certain that the young man in front of him was extraordinary, with a higher cultivation level than him. He had not yet fully unleashed his power; the man was suppressing his truly terrifying cultivation.
Even Virtual Spirit Xi looked solemn and stepped forward personally.
She informed him, "The son of a shrine master."
Qin Ming asked, "My own son?"
"Mm!" Virtual Spirit Xi nodded.
Qin Ming was immediately stunned. Wasn't it said that it was difficult to have offspring after reaching the Seventh Realm? Why could the master of an ancient Daoist temple defy common sense?
"What's wrong with you...?" he asked on the spot.
Moreover, he asked very specific questions.
Immediately, everyone looked stunned. What kind of time is this to ask such a question?
The main reason was that Qin Ming was too concerned about the fact that he was about to become an immortal and still had no offspring.
He was genuinely worried that after breaking through to the Seventh Realm, he wouldn't be able to have offspring. To everyone's surprise, Jiang Yutian actually responded, stating on the spot that all he needed was the Secret Medicine.
"Hiss!" Qin Ming was greatly shocked. None of the major sects in the Night Mist World had such a Strange Medicine. This place could actually solve the problem of strong people having no offspring.
He immediately realized that he had arrived in an extraordinary place; had he mistakenly entered the imperial palace?
"You... come over and spar." Jiang Yutian set his sights on Qin Ming. He hadn't expected to run into a bunch of Great Sage; he had clearly been tricked.
However, he was indeed very interested in the leader and wanted to assess him personally.
Virtual Spirit Xi spoke up, "What's your cultivation level? What's his? You must follow the rules."
"Don't worry!" Jiang Yutian nodded.
Qin Ming said, "Okay, but I have one condition."
Jiang Yutian spoke up, "You speak."
Qin Ming said, "If I win, give me twelve doses of that Secret Medicine you just mentioned."
Immediately, the eyes of many women, including Si Yeli and Meng Zhiyu, fell on him.
Everyone else was speechless. Who was this guy? In such a serious setting, before a major battle, he actually asked for medicine like this, and in such large quantities.
