A madman unlike any before

Jiang Yutian had a calm demeanor and deep eyes. This was an aura he had cultivated since childhood. Even if the sky were to fall and the earth were to collapse, he could maintain his composure.

But right now, he really couldn't hold back anymore. Who was this person? Asking for that Secret Medicine in public, and asking for... twelve doses at once.

In fact, the expressions of everyone else upon hearing this number were quite interesting as well.

Mu Shinian swiftly unfolded his folding fan and said, "Old Six... he actually demanded twelve doses of medicine directly. It's truly not easy to become his dao companion."

Si Yeli raised her head and looked ahead, her eyes shimmering as if filled with Moon Essence.

Meng Zhiyu turned her head and glanced at her, wanting to say: Why are you pinching my arm?

Si Yeli spoke first, whispering, "Sister Meng, you're hurting me."

Niu Wuwei face twitched slightly as he said, "I knew it..."

Although he often criticizes Scumbag Ming, he never undermines him at crucial moments and never says anything excessive.

Wen Lingxi couldn't help but ask, "Is Uncle... going to give birth to one of the twelve Zodiac Gods of War?"

After saying that, she glanced at Meng Zhiyu and Si Yeli.

Meng Zhiyu's fluffy ears perked up, and her "tiger eyes" widened as she glared at her, clearly aware of her niece Wen's little scheme—she was trying to pin the "medicine" label on her. In contrast, Si Yeli was much gentler, giving her sword fairy niece a bright smile.

Zhou Tian said, "Six Qi. Have you forgotten the original name of Jade Capital? The Primordial Dao Field. Old Six wants to give birth to the Twelve Golden Immortals."

Mu Shinian nodded and said, "You know what, with Sixth Brother's extraordinary talent, if he had a descendant and properly nurtured him, he would be absolutely remarkable. When father and son go into battle together, who can compete with them?"

Even they were whispering amongst themselves, let alone others. In an instant, the place was filled with murmurs.

Many people were staring at the tall, slender outsider in the center of the room with Divine Capital.

"What's going on? This is a place where geniuses vie for supremacy and Dao Child fight for supremacy. Why would someone want such a Secret Medicine? I want to know, is he... serious?"

"Outrageous!"

Even Jiang Yutian couldn't help but speak up at this point, asking, "Are you serious?"

Qin Ming nodded solemnly and said, "Of course!"

Time was of the essence for him; without the Secret Medicine, he might truly be left behind once he reached the Seventh Realm.

Then, he put on a very serious expression and said, "By the way, I have another very important question."

Jiang Yutian, "Go ahead." Qin Ming earnestly inquired, "If we include our dao companion, do we need to add twelve more doses of the Secret Medicine?"

Jiang Yutian: "..."

Everyone fell silent. He was so solemn and serious, yet in the end, he was still asking the same questions in the same field. How urgent was he?

Even Virtual Spirit Xi couldn't take it anymore. Barefoot, she covered her face with her hand, trying to hide it. She didn't even dao companion yet, and wasn't married. How could they be discussing such things on her own turf?

"A miracle! The twenty-four doses of the Secret Medicine have doubled in the blink of an eye!"

"Who is this formidable person? Where did Virtual Spirit Xi find him?"

"Does Immortal Maiden Xu perhaps intend to choose dao companion?"

The scene was packed with people, and as the crowd grew, the discussions became increasingly outrageous.

Virtual Spirit Xi has an extremely high status, and the two are about to engage in the opening battle, which will stir up a storm from all directions, with other Dao Child and Anomalies rushing over.

At this moment, many female cultivators looked at each other strangely.

"What a scumbag!" A noblewoman in the Jade Palace exclaimed.

She wore a black dress, her skin was delicate and translucent like white porcelain, her black hair reached her waist, her beautiful eyes were like cold pools, and her face was as cold as ice. She could be described as having ice-like skin and jade-like bones. It was clear that she was of high status, and her identity should be similar to that of Jiang Yutian and Virtual Spirit Xi. She was also someone who could sit in the main seat in the Golden Palace and Jade Palace.

Qin Ming immediately retorted, "What did I do to you? Did I cheat on you? I'm not going to give you the Secret Medicine!"

He was very dissatisfied; he was simply asking for medicine, so why was he being discriminated against for no reason?

The Noblewoman in Black was practically frozen solid; even her eyes seemed to emanate a chilling white aura.

Virtual Spirit Xi quickly stepped Mortal World to dissuade them; she didn't want to challenge all the popular candidates at the same time, as she couldn't handle it alone.

Jiang Yutian, "Although the Secret Medicine is precious, it's not impossible to obtain it. If you defeat me, everything will naturally be fine."

Qin Ming nodded and said, "That's good."

At the same time, Qin Ming used resonance to ask Virtual Spirit Xi a question, a way of communicating that could prevent being intercepted by powerful beings.

"I'm telling you, listen. If you want to respond, just think along the lines of my thought."

Virtual Spirit Xi's body trembled, and her delicate snow-white feet on the ground froze. This "outsider" had strange methods. Although his realm was not as high as hers, he could resonate with her Light of the Mind and communicate in secret.

Qin Ming asked, "If I were to defeat Dao Child or Anomalies with a significant background, wouldn't that cause trouble?"

Virtual Spirit Xi responded in her mind, saying, "You are the owner of the Night Era. The stronger you are right now, the more amazing your performance, the safer you are. You can rest assured." Qin Ming frowned slightly and nodded.

Jiang Yutian said, "Please!"

Immediately, the entire area was in an uproar. Everyone knew that Dao Child had always been incredibly assertive and confident.

One of his private remarks has become widely circulated:

"I don't care who I beat, regardless of their background."

Others always avoided him, which gives you an idea of his power and how high his status really was.

Qin Ming asked, "Is it a battle between our two camps as a whole, or just a duel between you and me?"

Jiang Yutian remained calm and spoke in a measured tone, saying, "It seems that very few people of the same cultivation level can stand before me and challenge me, let alone someone whose cultivation level is lower than mine."

He paused slightly, then said, "I won't bully anyone. You and Virtual Spirit Xi can join the fray together."

As Virtual Spirit Xi's purple robes fluttered, her entire demeanor became even more imposing. Her status was no less than Jiang Yutian's, yet he dared to treat her with such disrespect.

Qin Ming was dissatisfied. Was the other party using him as a bonus? This person really wanted to fight Virtual Spirit Xi.

Clearly, those around them shared this view. Many experts considered it normal, believing that only Virtual Spirit Xi could rival Jiang Yutian.

Qin Ming said, "Fortunately, your cultivation is higher than mine. Otherwise, if we were to fight at the same level, I would always fight twelve at once, otherwise it wouldn't be interesting."

"Is your twelve... a proper twelve?"

At this moment, even Zhou Tian wanted to ask a question.

As one can imagine, everyone else was thinking to themselves: What a scoundrel!

"Don't talk nonsense." Virtual Spirit Xi gave him a cold look.

Qin Ming felt he had been misunderstood and said, "I'm serious, so let's keep a low profile. When it comes to fighting against opponents of the same cultivation level, I always take on ten at once."

You call this... being low-key?

In a duel between equals, daring to claim he could take on ten opponents at once—is he insane?

The Black-Skirts Woman, who had previously been as cold as ice, spoke up, "Unless you are the reincarnation of Dao Venerable, carrying complete memories, supreme Cultivation Method, and invaluable experience accumulated over countless years, returning to your youth to cultivate the True Scripture anew, you wouldn't have this kind of confidence. Otherwise, what makes you think you can?"

Qin Ming simply smiled at her, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said nothing.

"Don't do anything reckless." Virtual Spirit Xi had completely understood the person in front of her. He was definitely a troublemaker in the outside world, far too unruly. "I tell the truth, but I'm never understood, sigh!" Qin Ming sighed.

Zhou Tian, Mu Shinian, and the others had long been immune to his wild words. When it came to boasting, the Great Sage Zheng Guang was second to none, and he was also blessed with the halo of the Supreme Ancestor.

Those present naturally didn't understand and all thought he was incredibly arrogant and utterly outrageous!

Suddenly, the place became noisy.

Jiang Yutian waved his hand, looked at Virtual Spirit Xi, and said, "I didn't underestimate you. What I meant was, let's start the Dao Venerable Path and see how far we can each go."

Then, he looked at Qin Ming and said, "The same goes for you. Your comprehension... seems quite remarkable. There's no need for a bloody battle. Let's Dao Venerable Path together and see who goes further."

In an instant, the place erupted in excitement.

No one expected that Jiang Yutian would propose such a highly Dao Venerable form of combat.

Qin Ming asked, "Can't we just reach the finish line?"

In an instant, the commotion subsided considerably.

Many people stared at him, feeling that he was too crazy and dared to say anything.

Even Jiang Yutian couldn't hold back any longer. His so-called calm and composed State of Mind was almost crumbling; the outsider before him was far too arrogant. Virtual Spirit Xi whispered, "I know you're arrogant, but don't be so arrogant yet. Understand the rules and truth of this place first, okay?"

Qin Ming said, "I know you're anxious, but don't rush me. I'm just telling you the truth."

Virtual Spirit Xi, her right hand clenched into a dragon claw shape, was really about to lose control. She wanted to give him a "Azure Dragon Claw" kick, press it against his mouth, and make him practice "silent meditation."

"I bet Virtual Spirit Xi regrets hiring that madman; he's just too arrogant!"

The other Dao Child and Heavenly Maiden seated in the main seats of the Golden Palace and Jade Palace could no longer remain calm, and one after another they spoke up.

Normally, a genius of this era could not possess the true aptitude of Dao Venerable; that is a special honorific title for the Ninth Realm monster who has been reincarnated with memories.

The most outstanding talents of our time can only get infinitely close, but can never truly reach that special realm.

The common saying that someone is a "young Dao Venerable" is just flattery, not a true recognition of their strength.

Jiang Yutian didn't want to Say More to Qin Ming. Instead, he looked at the people around him and said, "If anyone else is interested, they can also join the competition. We can all Dao Venerable Path together, which will save more time and end the competition sooner. Half a day will be enough."

In a short while, a murmur of discussion arose here.

Qin Ming looked at him and said, "Let's not worry about the others for now. If they're willing, they can re-enter the arena to Dao Venerable Path after our competition ends."

Jiang Yutian, "What do you mean?" Qin Ming replied, "We two will go first; Virtual Spirit Xi Lingxi doesn't need to participate."

Some things don't need to be said; his meaning is clear: he is enough on his own.

Although Virtual Spirit Xi thought he was arrogant and boastful, she appreciated his current attitude, which truly made his employer look good.

Therefore, she spoke softly and gently, a departure from her usual cold and aloof demeanor, saying, "If you defeat Jiang Yutian and go further than him on the Dao Venerable Path, I will also give you... twelve doses of Secret Medicine."

As she finished speaking, her voice transmission became much weaker, because it felt rather awkward for a young woman without dao companion to say such things.

However, the experts present overheard everything, and their eyes immediately gleamed as they stared intently at her and Qin Ming.

Her rival even transmitted a message: "Immortal Maiden Xu, take it easy."

Qin Ming immediately nodded and said, "Alright, you have to keep your word. Old Jiang's Secret Medicine, plus your gift, should be enough, right?"

The tone was questioning; did he think it wasn't sufficient?

What kind of outrageous and inappropriate words are these? Everyone around him wants to stay away from him.

Mu Shinian, Wen Lingxi... all took steps backward, and even Zhou Tian, who had a thick skin, couldn't stand it anymore.

Qin Ming said, "Don't worry, I didn't mention you. This is for my own sake." Those around him wanted to shout: You... don't bother explaining!

Rumble!

Deep within the Jade Palace, a pair of golden gates were pushed open, and a vast crowd entered a Savage Wilderness Domain directly from the heavily guarded palace grounds. Here, towering mountains and giant trees stretched into the sky, and a sacred waterfall cascaded down thousands of feet.

In the distance, a huge, Strange Bird flew across the sky, like a cloud obscuring the heavens.

Nearby, there are also Top-Tier Aberrant, many of which are High Antiquity species that have long since disappeared, such as Stone Ape and Candle Dragon, but it is unknown how pure their bloodlines are.

A young man in blue stepped forward, looked at Jiang Yutian, and pleaded, "Senior Brother, what kind of status do you have? Why do you insist on personally fighting a low-level outsider? You shouldn't do this. If word gets out, it won't show your magnanimity; it will only make us seem... too easy to talk to, even a bit beneath us."

"What do you mean? Who do you think you are in front of my sixth brother!" Niu Wuwei was furious.

Mu Shinian also stepped forward, the Wheel of Time behind his head spinning rapidly, illuminating a blurry river of time—a terrifying sight. He said in a deep voice, "Time is supreme. Even I admire my sixth brother greatly. How dare you be so rude?"

Clearly, his Time Domain was incredibly impressive, silencing all the surrounding chatter.

The young man in blue said, "Stop talking big. You've exerted all your strength to get here, and all you've gained is the qualification to meet my senior Senior Brother."

He stepped forward and said, "As the Great Sage, I would like to first assess on behalf of Senior Brother Jiang how you can fight ten against one in the same realm."

To Jiang Yutian, this man's intentions were clearly good; he was worried Jiang might be caught off guard and was helping him assess his opponent's strength. Soon, the man in blue added, "My true realm is actually at the Eighth Heaven Ancestor Realm, perhaps even lower than yours."

"What's his condition?" Qin Ming asked.

Virtual Spirit Xi explained, "Each faction here consists of several Supreme Dao Field, and this person is a relatively young Great Sage in Jiang Yutian's faction."

"Let me do it." Meng Zhiyu walked out.

Niu Wuwei immediately stepped forward and said, "Sister Meng, why do you need to take action? Let me fight him."

With a whoosh, he teleported over, directly blocking the blue-clad youth, and said, "My cultivation level is lower than yours, but I can still crush you with one hand."

Meng Zhiyu, Zhou Tian, and the others did not stop him, because they all knew that the fifth brother was very strong. He was a monster who could challenge the Old Six and fight him fiercely in the past.

The man in blue said, "Fine, fine, I... I've figured it out. You guys are all incredibly arrogant. We've stirred up a den of lunatics. Let me see what you're really made of."

Clearly, the earlier attempts by a group of talented individuals to jointly deal with Si Yeli, Zhou Tian, and others had all ended in defeat, causing them to lose face.

Even if Jiang Yutian were willing to personally intervene, his people would disagree, wanting to get revenge first.

"Clang!" The blue-robed Great Sage was very strong. He immediately unleashed a Mind Sword, which was about to bloom in Niu Wuwei's Pure Yang Consciousness and sever his soul first.

He was domineering, and his methods were indeed quite remarkable. Unfortunately, he encountered Old Fifth Niu, a usually humble and low-key Hidden Disciples of the Tushita Palace.

Niu Wuwei want a protracted fight, so he immediately used the Diamond Ring. This was clearly influenced by Qin Ming and Lu Zizai, both from Night Prefecture, who unleashed their trump cards as soon as they met.

Even as he unleashed the Diamond Ring, he prepared to One Qi Transforms into Three Purities, sending several figures rushing forward to attack.

With a loud bang, the blue-clad man's Mind Sword exploded outside Niu Wuwei's body, unable to invade his Mental Field.

At the same time, the Diamond Ring, indestructible and indestructible, shattered the Mind Sword and arrived in an instant, not stopping until it hit its opponent, and then teleported away with the blue-clad man.

Finally, the blood mist exploded, and broken bones flew out.

The blue-clad Great Sage's chest was shattered, his heart burst open, and then his entire chest was crushed, breaking his body into two pieces.

Niu Wuwei strong, but it was impossible for him to kill the Great Sage instantly. It was all because he wanted to decide the life or death within two moves; the first battle was the final battle.

If the enemy doesn't die, he will perish on his own.

He only needs one more strike with the Diamond Ring to kill his opponent.

"Is that all? You think you can challenge my sixth brother?" Niu Wuwei dusted off his sleeves, which were wrinkle-free, and then left the battlefield with his hands behind his back.

The scene was quiet. Everyone knew that Virtual Spirit Xi had struck gold; her trip had not only brought back a nest of Great Sage, but they were all top-tier experts in their respective fields. "We two also want to consider your abilities."

Two True Immortal with the potential to become Great Sage descended and walked forward.

Lu Zizai stepped out and went to greet him.

Qin Ming also stepped forward, walking alongside him.

"Hiss, this guy made a move himself?" Many people stared at Qin Ming.

Qin Ming said, "Senior Brother Lu, it would be most appropriate for us to use the resonance of Heavenly Light together to unleash the Yin-Yang Sacred Shears."

"Okay!" Lu Zizai nodded.

He felt a pang of emotion. The little brother who once needed his protection had actually reached this level, now comparable to him, or even stronger.

After their reunion, Qin Ming exchanged many profound techniques with Lu Zizai, passing on the unique skills from the Yin-Yang Scripture to him.

At this moment, the two of them unleashed their power simultaneously, piercing through the Nine Heavens with Heavenly Light, illuminating both the sky and the earth.

The two men crossed paths and slashed at their two powerful opponents.

With a deafening roar, the area trembled violently, as if an unparalleled demon had been unleashed, causing chaos and upheaval. Qin Ming and Lu Zizai jointly manifested the Yin-Yang Sacred Shears, one embodying ultimate Yang, the other ultimate Yin; one as bright as day, the other as dark as Abyss. Their figures intersected, severing the void between heaven and earth.

Clearly, this is the Night Prefecture's battle tactic; they're going to fight to the death right from the start.

The two powerful opponents were well-prepared and were unleashing their top-tier killing moves, going all out in a bloody battle.

As a result, with a series of soft popping sounds, the two True Immortal- level experts were simultaneously severed from their flesh and blood. The Black and White holy scissors swept across the sky, cutting through everything in their path.

In an instant, the place fell completely silent.

"Please!" Qin Ming gestured to Jiang Yutian, inviting him to Dao Venerable Path together.
