Upon hearing this news, both Qin Ming and Old Ancestor Nanming were rather surprised.
Penglai Sect was a great sect with an ancient inheritance, and it even possessed a fifth-rank inherited divine tree.
Azurewood True Monarch had already reached Nascent Soul Great Perfection many years ago. As a Spirit Transformation seed, he certainly would not lack the resources needed to attempt Spirit Transformation.
Yet the Spirit Transformation chasm was not something just anyone could cross. Across the Mortal Realm, only one would occasionally emerge every few thousand years.
Most Nascent Soul Realm cultivators remained trapped at the initial stage, unable to advance another step for their entire lives.
Among the rest, only a tiny handful of cultivators with exceptional luck and talent obtained fortuitous opportunities to break through to the middle or late stages, already standing at the very peak.
Cultivators capable of reaching Nascent Soul Great Perfection were, apart from diligent farmers like Qin Ming, only the Spirit Transformation seeds painstakingly nurtured by a few Spirit Transformation sects. They were considered the inheritors of their sects.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Supreme Yang Reverend,
Qin Ming and the other did not linger any longer, bidding farewell and leaving the Eastern Sea Cultivation Realm.
After flying for several more days,
they arrived near the waters of the Black Sea.
"Fellow Daoist Nanming, let us part ways here. When you have time, come sit for a while on Moon Gazing Island," Qin Ming said to Old Ancestor Nanming.
A faint smile appeared on Old Ancestor Nanming's weathered face. Smiling as well, he said, "Young Friend Qin, there is no need to say more. If anything happens, just call for me. You are also welcome to visit Li Fire Palace. This Old Man will sweep my couch clean and await you."
