After Qin Ming briefly met with Gu Qingzhao and Xu Jing, he did not dare linger any longer in Azure Sea Immortal City.
He immediately slipped out of the Immortal City in secret at top speed.
Qin Ming had not expected the impact of this breakthrough to be so immense that even the independent cultivators had gone into a frenzy.
In the sky, Qin Ming rode the Silver-Winged Frost Bee, turning into a streak of silver light that vanished beyond the horizon.
He returned to the Spirit Rest Archipelago and flew toward Northern Domain Ice Island.
"It has been two and a half years. I wonder whether the Devouring Sky Rat has gotten used to staying there."
"And the Nether Yin Bloom should be ready for harvest by now, right?"
Half a day later.
Qin Ming once again arrived at the frigid iceberg near Mist Marsh, then flew into an ice crevice.
After following the fissure deep inside.
When he saw the Devouring Sky Rat again, it was draped in a thick Beast Hide it had somehow acquired, sitting beside a fire in the corner of the ice cavern. It looked rather comical.
"Master! You finally came!"
"I was just about to notify you. Those two Spirit Plants have matured, and they've already condensed the Nether Yin Dew you mentioned."
Qin Ming nodded at it. "You've worked hard during this time. Once I successfully form my core, I'll let you devour that Golden Core."
"Before then, I'll need you to stand guard while I form my core. I can't let you fall into slumber."
Upon hearing this, the Devouring Sky Rat seemed as if it had been injected with fresh blood. It tossed the Beast Hide onto the ground and nodded vigorously.
"Master, with me here, rest assured!"
