The short-haired young Dao Venerable of the Gods and Devils was somewhat dazed. He had actually lost, and was inferior to his opponent in physique. Who was truly Primordial Foundation?

Qin Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally won his first battle against such a special young Dao Venerable, which was of great significance to him.

The scene was quiet, and both the boy painting and the two young men playing chess showed unusual expressions.

The young Dao Venerable who arrived carrying a birdcage, and the female Dao Venerable who descended stepping on blooming flower petals, were both slightly surprised by this outcome.

"You two, did you register the wrong race?"

"For a human's physique to catch up with their Primordial Foundation, they need to enter the Eighth Realm. Even the Anomalies among humans need to reach the Seventh Realm."

The two players speaking one after the other revealed certain facts.

"If we consider that there are also Anomalies among the Primordial God-Demon Clan, then, for the human race to bridge the innate gap will be even more difficult."

The young Dao Venerable, carrying a birdcage, paced back and forth, speaking solemnly.

He crossed his arms and pondered, for he too was a being with Primordial Foundation talent, though unrelated to the Gods and Devils.

In the surrounding area, Spirit Mountain collapsed, the Immortal Bamboo was broken, many flowers and plants were shattered, and broken branches and leaves were scattered everywhere, all caused by the impact of the great battle.

Outside the barrier, many people stood frozen in place, like clay or wooden sculptures.

What kind of physique does that outsider, Qin Ming, possess that allows him to suppress Innate Sacred Being innate abilities?

Many people were speechless, finding it hard to believe.

His opponent was an ancient Dao Venerable had resurrected and was using a young body to cultivate again; he was once a renowned being in the history of cultivation.

The tranquility was shattered, and the crowd erupted in uproar.

"How could he win against such an opponent?"

"Who exactly are the Primordial God-Demon?"

Even though they had already witnessed the extraordinary nature of this outsider, they were still shocked when they saw the outcome of the battle firsthand.

"Sixth Brother—this is going to heaven!" Zhou Tian exclaimed in amazement.

As is widely known, the so-called "Young Dao Venerable" level being is actually a special title for those who have acquired the Past Life Wisdom of beings from the Ninth Realm of Ancient Times.

From a realistic perspective, it is virtually impossible for ordinary people to possess such qualifications.

But Qin Ming has actually achieved such a record.

Who can still say that he doesn't possess the potential to Dao Venerable?

The facts speak for themselves, and his outstanding achievements will speak for themselves.

The Wheel of Time behind Mu Shinian's head was spinning rapidly, almost smoking. He was tracing back the years, replaying the details of the various battle scenes from just now, and carefully reviewing them.

Meng Zhiyu pondered whether she needed to re-examine the Silk Book Method, whether she needed to endure the excruciating pain of her body exploding and her thigh flying off, and start over again.

"What do you think, Fifth Brother?" Zhou Tian asked.

"Stand and watch!" Niu Wuwei replied, but inwardly he was assessing the situation. If he could just endure a little longer, he would reach the Seventh Realm and completely merge with Li Youde.

As for the current stage, it's fine for him to occasionally fuse when there's a need for intense battles.

Wen Lingxi sighed inwardly, "My father's judgment was truly sharp. He insisted on making me his uncle, and now it seems he didn't lose out. My uncle actually has the potential to Dao Venerable."

In contrast, Si Yeli was the most composed, because she always believed that Qin Ming was exceptionally gifted and could defeat even a being that had awakened the Ninth Realm of Past Life Wisdom.

Lu Zizai remained silent, deep in thought, growing increasingly confident in his New Life Path.

He could see very clearly that Qin Ming's dragon-slaying in the First Realm was extremely difficult, leaving him covered in wounds and a Pyrrhic victory. In terms of physique, he was absolutely no match for beings with Primordial Foundation.

However, with each New Life, Qin Ming underwent a complete Nirvana across all realms, and his innate talent and abilities would surge with each Major Realm.

"After Sixth Realm Perfection and standing at the Near-Immortal level, he was no longer afraid of the young Dao Venerable among the Innate Sacred Being."

However, the road ahead for the New Life System is very difficult, full of thorns and shrouded in mist, requiring pioneering efforts from Great Wilderness Expansion of people.

Lu Zizai said, "I hope Little Qin seizes this opportunity to discuss the Dharma with the Dao Venerable; perhaps he can gain some inspiration."

Locals are also discussing it enthusiastically right now.

Virtual Spirit Xi never expected that the outside help she invited would be so incredibly Chongxiao!

Of course, some people poured cold water on the situation and tried to downplay the incident.

"His physical condition is simply far stronger than expected. As for his performance in other areas, it's hard to say. You have to understand that a person's energy is limited, and no one can be at the forefront in every aspect."

"Do you even believe yourself saying such a thing? Tell me, can someone who can suppress a young Dao Venerable of the Primordial God-Demon Clan be a simple person?"

Soon, those involved in the argument understood what was going on.

The seasoned Old Senior who nitpick on things are just trying to mislead others.

He has already sent his Lineage's elites to contact Lu Zizai, Niu Wuwei, and others, secretly trying his best to win them over.

Virtual Spirit Xi discovered that people from other factions were not practicing martial ethics and were poaching her members.

An Old Ancestor secretly transmitted his voice. "Lingxi, does Qin Ming really owe us a debt? I think taking him as payment is the most suitable option. You should try to win him over and see if you can make him your dao companion."

Upon hearing this, Virtual Spirit Xi was completely stunned. Who was the creditor? It sounded like the roles were reversed, and she was to be used as collateral to pay off the debt.

The silver-robed youth Pei Wangchuan, sighed. The difference in luck between people is truly vast. They both went out for a trip, yet Virtual Spirit Xi brought back someone who could...

A monster that young Dao Venerable are vying for supremacy with.

Virtual Spirit Xi, her purple robes fluttering and her snow-white feet bare, glanced at him sideways and asked, "What are you sighing about?"

Pei Wangchuan said, "I'm impressed by how well your pregnancy goes."

Nearby, everyone else looked over, especially the noblewoman in black robes and her group, who were in competition with Virtual Spirit Xi and Pei Wangchuan, so they naturally felt a bit envious.

"Does the Xu Household intend to take in a son-in-law?"

"Pretty close!"

Virtual Spirit Xi said, "Didn't you say that you took two punches when you were outside? That person wasn't simple either."

"Yes, that person is quite special; his name is Fang Zhiwei. Where is he now? What, he's admiring the scenery along the way, staring blankly at some ancient stone carvings?"

Pei Wangchuan perked up and ordered his men to investigate further.

In fact, it was soon discovered that Zhou Dingdao shared a name with an ancient Supreme Experts.

"Among the outsiders, there are at least five Anomalies whose identities are difficult to assess. This isn't just disturbing the Great Sage's nest; it's encountering the essence of a great era in the outside world, and it needs to be handled properly!"

Outside the barrier, there is no peace.

It was practically unbelievable that a human could defeat Dao Venerable of the same realm. Although this was only a contest of physical strength, people had no doubt that the outsider was also very strong in other aspects.

"Could he be the legendary being of the Five Virtues Physique?"

Immediately, people made all sorts of guesses.

What kind of physique would a human need to possess to overpower Primordial God-Demon?

"I strongly suspect that he possesses the potential to awaken multiple top-tier physical abilities, and it is only through this combination that he has achieved such extraordinary performance."

"I see this young man has the makings of a son-in-law for the Jiang Household!"

"You shameless old bastard, this is a prodigy brought back by my family's descendant. He belongs to our camp, and you dare to steal him?"

"Ahem, everyone, stop arguing! I took a liking to him at first sight; he's the son-in-law of my clan!"

"Don't even mention a son-in-law! Even if you married off your two-thousand-year-old Heavenly Immortal maiden, she wouldn't be good enough for you!"

This time, it was the black-clad noblewoman and her group who were dumbfounded. Just moments ago, they were still fuming, mocking Virtual Spirit Xi and saying that she had completely "won by default."

As a result, their elders are now shamelessly vying to find sons-in-law!

On the path to Dao Venerable, in the trial ground corresponding to the Fourth Realm, Jiang Yutian was disheveled, with several bloody holes in his body, his Mental Field shattered. He staggered, got up for the seventh time, and charged forward.

"Is this the crisis that the young Dao Venerable must face? Alas, I am ultimately inferior to him."

After falling down for the eighth time, Jiang Yutian struggled several times but failed to get up, feeling utterly powerless.

He is still not on par with the young Dao Venerable; he is indeed no match for him at the moment.

"It's alright. On this path, I've seen my shortcomings. After I leave, I'll make up for them and come back again in ten years!"

He wasn't discouraged; after all, those opponents were far beyond his capabilities, practically monsters in history.

"How can I, a mere mortal of this era, at such a young age, possibly defeat a being who has awakened the wisdom of a Daoist master? It has already been an extremely difficult battle to get to this point."

He quickly adjusted his mindset, and instead of feeling discouraged, he became even more determined and established a strong belief in himself.

"If we fail again in this final charge, I probably won't be able to hold on and will be forced to leave the field."

With unwavering willpower, Jiang Yutian finally stood up again, his whole body glowing, the Immortal Seal in his blood burning, his body and spirit resonating, making a final stand.

With a bang, he exploded, torn apart by the opponent's magic across the void, and his whole body briefly fell into boundless darkness.

He was then teleported Dao Venerable Path.

In an instant, Jiang Yutian was enveloped in the fragrance of medicine, undergoing a mysterious baptism that not only healed his injuries but also benefited his physical and mental well-being.

He silently reflected on the gains and losses of this trial, and overall, he was very satisfied. Based on his performance in breaking into the Fourth Realm, he should be the first person in hundreds of years to achieve this.

Best result.

"Hey, Jiang Yutian is out!" someone shouted.

What's going on? Jiang Yutian wondered, why was it only discovered now? Shouldn't it be the center of attention?

He sensed that the atmosphere was unusual and something was wrong.

Normally, once he reaches the Fourth Realm, he will inevitably become the focus of everyone's attention.

But that's not the case at all right now.

He seemed to have been forgotten; many people are only now turning around to look at him.

Jiang Yutian was puzzled; why did he have this feeling that he was being neglected?

Then, he felt a pang of heartache. Even the Noblewoman in Black, with whom he was closest, turned around and looked at him, approaching with a look of guilt.

Finally, he fully realized the seriousness of the problem.

He was indeed overlooked; people's attention wasn't on him until he broke free of the barrier, and only then, after someone reminded him, did they temporarily turn their attention to him.

The Noblewoman in Black approached and whispered, "Yu Tian, that person—is very strong!"

"He's broken into the Sixth Realm?" Jiang Yutian finally realized what had happened.

He stared blankly into the depths of the barrier. In the same amount of time, his opponent had gone further than him and had not yet been defeated.

"How is that possible? The Dao Venerable of the Primordial God-Demon Clan had both arms broken and was defeated by him—"

Jiang Yutian felt as if he had been struck in the chest by a divine hammer, and he took a few steps back.

He couldn't believe it; he had fought tooth and nail, achieving brilliant results, yet he was overshadowed by that other person.

The noblewoman in black comforted him softly, saying, "It's alright, Yu Tian, don't be discouraged. Just think of it as a dream. He doesn't belong here, he can't stay long, and he will eventually drift away with the wind, flowing into the distance with those words imbued with Daoist principles, disappearing amidst the rise and fall of the Ten-Colored Fire Spring. You will still be an unparalleled genius, looking down upon your peers in this era."

Jiang Yutian felt a tightness in his chest, as if his heart had been pierced once again. As long as there were enough restrictive prefixes, anyone could become the strongest person of the era.

Some old monsters teleported over to comfort Jiang Yutian, saying that Dao Child was definitely not weak enough; he had simply encountered an unimaginable variable.

Even the most Old Ancestor ancestors, who have rebuilt their cultivation in the Major Realm and personally come here to challenge the trials, would not dare to say they could do better.

A powerful being at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly God realm descended and said, "Yu Tian, your Dao Venerable Path is already perfect; there's no need to compare yourself to others."

Jiang Yutian was not someone who couldn't accept defeat; he had a strong will and quickly adjusted his mindset.

As he turned his head, he saw a minotaur with his arms crossed, looking up at him with an air of great arrogance.

Are all outsiders this confident? Aren't they afraid of me?

That person was naturally Niu Wuwei. Thinking about merging with Li Youde in the future, he was already considering how to challenge the Old Six!

Jiang Yutian cleared his mind of distractions, took a deep breath, and said, "Don't worry, I'll only compare myself to myself. Next time I challenge the level, my record will be even better!"

Inside the barrier, Qin Ming's ten fingers were mangled and bloody, indicating he was also injured. In hand-to-hand combat with the most powerful Primordial God-Demon, no being in the same realm could emerge unscathed.

The short-haired young Dao Venerable was covered in blood, his forearms were broken, and his shoulder blades were cracked. He suffered a terrifying blow in the final ten punches exchange.

He said, "In a physical confrontation between people of the same level, there are very few in the world who could force me to this point and ultimately injure and defeat me."

In terms of physique, he's almost the strongest, if not the absolute strongest.

This is a certification of Qin Ming's physical strength by the Dao Venerable of the Gods and Devils, and its value is extremely high.

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in astonishment.

Jiang Yutian was lost in thought, then felt relieved. One cannot live in the eyes of others; it is enough for one to be better than one was yesterday.

With a crackling sound, the Dao Venerable of the Gods and Devils returned to normal.

Qin Ming said, "Brother Dao, I didn't stop myself just now, I'm sorry."

"It's alright, this is more satisfying!" The short-haired young Dao Venerable's chiseled face was no longer so cold and hard, but rather softened a bit.

He led Qin Ming to the other Dao Venerable, took out the pot of fine wine he had been drinking alone, and personally poured wine for Qin Ming.

"The Devil Venerable has been defeated?" the boy who was painting asked with a smile.

The short-haired youth's identity was revealed; although he was Primordial God-Demon, many people called him the Devil Venerable.

He shook his head and said, "Who among us would willingly submit to others? In my battles with those who came after me, I discovered a problem I had overlooked. If I can solve it, it could allow my Primordial Foundation to undergo another transformation, or perhaps even allow me to reach a higher level."

"Unfortunately, you have been dead for many years."

"Barring unforeseen circumstances, none of us will live to see a third life."

The two young Dao Venerable playing chess spoke one after the other.

The people here are all resurrected ancient beings, and this happened a long time ago; their true forms should have long since perished.

Qin Ming asked, "Fellow Daoists, are you all from the same era to be able to gather here?"

"How could that be? Do you really think there are that many Dao Venerable? We come from different eras."

"Unless they are far enough apart, once the Supreme Experts meet, they will inevitably have to spar and fight. As for the outcome, that's hard to say."

"Two powerful beings often meet, unless one is male and the other female, and they become dao companion."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming was speechless for a moment. "Why is it acting like a tiger? Is its territorial instinct so strong?"

The Devil Venerable spoke up, "Don't listen to their nonsense. Genuine friendships can exist between people of the same sex."

The young Dao Venerable carrying a birdcage chuckled, "Heh, if I remember correctly, you died because of a friend in your first life, right? Someone's got their eyes on you."

The Primordial God-Demon essence must prolong one's own life.

Qin Ming became interested and said, "Brother Dao, please explain in detail!"

The other party shook their head, saying that everyone here was a respectable person, and they would only joke around and not really expose each other's shortcomings or dig up past scandals.

The female Dao Venerable, who descended upon this place amidst a shower of petals, smiled and said, "Little brother, you're quite impressive."

"Sister, please call me younger brother," Qin Ming corrected.

The Dao Venerable present already knew that his true age was only thirty-six.

As a result, he dared to call them "brother" and "sister," which was quite audacious.

The female Dao Venerable sighed, "The last time someone called me 'sister' was thousands or tens of thousands of years ago. Time flies, and I don't even know how much time has passed."

She felt a pang of sadness; her life had once been incredibly brilliant, but it had ultimately come to an end, and her body was probably already decaying.

Qin Ming said, "Perhaps there's still a chance; maybe your true form will be revived in this world."

His use of this term wasn't arrogant; it was a deliberate attempt to take an unconventional approach and build closer relationships with them.

Without a doubt, over the long years, those around these powerful figures have always treated them with utmost respect, their attitudes likely being almost identical.

After all, no one dared to disobey the Dao Venerable.

In this territory, Qin Ming's strength was no less than theirs, so he never even considered addressing them as "senior," offering them tea respectfully, or Performed a Grand Ceremony; it wouldn't make him feel uncomfortable.

The woman shook her head and said, "It's impossible. My true form is buried in the Night Mist World. It might have already been dug up by someone. I know the character of those who came after me all too well."

Qin Ming remained silent. Some customs in the Night Mist World were indeed frustrating. Not to mention those Dark Organization, even normal sects, such as the Godlike Society, the Rebirth Figurine, the Eternal Presence, and the Strange Insect Alliance, were secretly excavating ancient tombs underground.

The Supreme Experts warriors fight against their contemporaries in life and continue to contend with those who come after them in death; their lives are truly filled with toil in both the mortal and spiritual realms.

The female Dao Venerable recalled, "Ah, I still remember the last moment someone called me 'sister.' Beyond Heaven light descended, illuminating the Divine Garden Above the Nine Heavens, making it a riot of colors, a garden full of spring. That Great Sage, at the peak of the Eighth-Realm Perfection, was handsome and refined, smiling brightly at me, his eyes reflecting my still youthful face."

Upon hearing this, the Dao Venerable present all showed strange expressions.

Qin Ming also felt uncomfortable. It sounded rather romantic, like there was some kind of relationship between an older woman and a younger man.

The female Dao Venerable's expression softened as she said, "Alas, at this moment today, it feels as if we are still in that instant from back then."

Then, she felt melancholy again.

Qin Ming said, "There's no need to be sentimental. If that moment is worth cherishing, then it's eternal, just like now. Don't you still remember it in your heart?"

The female Dao Venerable looked at him and said, "Yes, I want to relive it."

Qin Ming was taken aback. Were all the Supreme Experts in ancient times this direct?

The female Dao Venerable spoke up, "Brother, do you know what became of that Great Sage back then?"

Qin Ming wanted to say: I'm not from that era, how would I know?

The female Dao Venerable spoke, "With a gentle flick of my wrist, he shattered into hundreds of streams of light."

Qin Ming secretly thought something was wrong. Was this the Extinction Dao Venerable? He was gentle as water in front of him, but then he slapped someone to pieces. He was even more contrasting than Qin Ming.

At this moment, the female Dao Venerable pressed her slender hand forward.

In an instant, her right hand expanded, like a Xinghai engulfing the sky, crashing down.

Qin Ming was not afraid at all and slapped him directly. Who was afraid of who in this area? If you respected her, she was the older sister; if you didn't, you could naturally treat her like a younger sister!

The heavens and earth trembled violently as he shattered the jade hand that held the starry sky, sending blood raining down.

"That's it?" Qin Ming put his left hand behind his back, raised his right hand, and struck the man's body again with a palm strike.

With a thunderous roar, he unleashed his full power of Chaos Force and said, "Little sister, standing so close to me, do you really think you're some kind of Dao Venerable from the Gods and Devils? Your delicate body is no match for you!"

With a bang, the female Dao Venerable was sent flying, her body covered in cracks, and her other slender hand, which she had slapped out, also exploded.

Then, Qin Ming put his hands behind his back, looked down at the other person, and said, "Come here and call me 'Brother Dao' and apologize, or I'll beat you to a pulp."

Several young Dao Venerable nearby showed surprise.

Outsiders were utterly dumbfounded.

"Wrong!"

Suddenly, Qin Ming awoke with a start, raising his divine sense to its limit. The Light of the Mind, like a divine being breaking through the law, illuminated all directions, seeking the truth.

At the same time, his Chaos Force surged and expanded outwards.

In an instant, he distorted the void with his Blood Qi and magical domain, causing time to seem to collapse, and the surrounding area became a blur centered on him.

With a deafening roar, the domain surrounding him exploded.

There was no female Dao Venerable before them; she stood atop a distant immortal mountain, nodding and smiling slightly in their direction.

"What a terrifying illusion!"

Outside, even some Old Ancestor figures gasped in shock; all of them, who had been watching from the sidelines, had been caught in the crossfire.

Qin Ming remained silent as yet another Dao Venerable attacked him. The female Dao Venerable had never been present at the scene; she had been tending to the flowers and plants from afar.

Even his powerful senses were deceived earlier.

Fortunately, the other party couldn't get close enough to hurt him.

The woman emerged from the celestial mountain, riding on a shower of flower petals, and descended upon this place in her true form.

"Please!" Qin Ming extended his hand, taking the initiative to challenge her, determined to deliver two punches to her no matter what.

"No rush, follow the rules. First, fulfill your previous request." The female Dao Venerable shook her head, her expression gentle, maintaining a certain distance from him. Even as Dao Venerable, she needed to be wary of a Dao Venerable -level Body Cultivator from the Primordial God-Demon Clan.

"Discuss the law?" Qin Ming stopped, his spirits lifted.

This is the Great Fortune he can obtain on the Dao Venerable Path; it is an opportunity that cannot be replicated, so he naturally cannot miss it.

"I admit that you, as a newcomer, can amaze an era. In a bloodbath in the Sixth Realm, you can compete with us. But if you want to sit down and discuss the Dao with us, I'm afraid you still need to accumulate more experience," the painting boy said.

The two players nodded in agreement. What were their identities? Although they were also young, they possessed Past Life Wisdom, and their knowledge and experience far exceeded what ordinary people could imagine.

In their eyes, Qin Ming is currently only at the "fierce" stage.

Qin Ming said, "How will you know if you don't try?"

He put down his wine glass and said, "I'll only pose one unsolved question. Well, to be precise, it's the content of two or three articles, but the core is just two words: pioneering. Whoever can solve it alone, I'll accept him as my apprentice."

The young Dao Venerable carrying the birdcage laughed, "Young man, you're trying to take advantage of us! We help you break this deadlock, and you want to claim kinship with us. What era are our disciples and grand-disciples from? If we accept disciples, I reckon there will be top-tier experts of the Eighth Realm outside getting furious."

Both players nodded in agreement.

Even the Dao Venerable of the Gods and Devils, who became acquainted with Qin Ming through a misunderstanding, thought so, saying, "The techniques of the Sixth Realm are nothing more than child's scribbles to us; we can do them with ease."

The female Dao Venerable nodded and said, "I'll decipher the mystery for you, but let's skip the discussion on Tao, since it's not really relevant."

Qin Ming smiled. These young Dao Venerable didn't seem to care much, thinking his problem couldn't withstand scrutiny. That was truly wonderful.

"I also hope that you can easily provide the answer. My difficult problem actually has another name: the Supreme Sovereign Conjecture. So—please enlighten me."

From afar, someone arrived riding Kunpeng, equally unconvinced, saying, "The newcomer certainly has a grandiose air about him. I have heard of the Taishang Hypothesis."

The Mystery of the Extraordinary Woman, do you perhaps intend to place it alongside the so-called Supreme Sovereign Conjecture?

Qin Ming stood with his hands behind his back, nodded, and said, "Hmm, more or less. I think this Supreme Sovereign Conjecture is probably enough to take on ten of you at once."
