Night Without End
Chapter 1329 - 564: The Turbulence Comes to an End (Part 4)
However, within the Nine-Colored Ice Mountain, certain old monsters have reminded their successors that some people are best not to provoke, as they might be involved in a particular situation within the Forbidden Domain.
"What, Magic King... hss, forget it!"
Wei Shouzhen showcased his might in the Flying Land, gaining full recognition from the Huang Family, and it seems he might be promised a high-status legitimate daughter.
"One Sword, Sect Realm, truly worthy of the top reputation, they’re incredibly impressive, once suppressing Taoist Die and slaughtering the Divine Eye King, terrifying indeed, their battle achievements are dazzling."
The masters among the young adults are quite genuine, unlike the old monsters of the Seventh Realm, who seem like castles in the air, too elusive and distant.
"Taiyi and Qin Ming both have the demeanor of future Core Saints, even now they suppress the younger generation of the Totem Camp without causing a stir, but unfortunately, their realms lack some refinement."
"Speaking of which, has anyone figured out who exactly One Sword and Sect Realm are?"
"Forget it, if you really investigate fully, it might scare people to death. It’s heard that Qian Cheng... is like that, even the Earth Immortal old monsters in the sky backed off."
Clearly, there are no impermeable walls in the world; once one or two people know some things, it ceases to be a secret.
Qian Cheng quickly vanished from people’s sight.
Bai Meng, at Shanhai Academy, was amazed, saying: "Brother Ming, truly impressive, among the focus figures widely discussed outside, four of them are him!"
If the truth were exposed, it would certainly be extremely explosive.
Bai Meng felt that day wasn’t far off, as Qin Ming steps into the Grandmaster Domain and thorough investigations continue from all sides, some matters surely can’t be hidden.
"Hss, I’ve been eroded by Brother Ming’s fiery Big Medicine; theoretically, after so many days, it should’ve lost effect, yet why do I feel so graceful when seeing the Elephant Clan?"
Recently, Bai Meng sat at essential paths within Shanhai Academy, observing the Alien Species among the students, such as the White Jade Elephant and Golden-haired Spirit Elephant, feeling an unprecedented closeness.
"Could it be my curse... has loosened, am I possibly recovering to the Divine Elephant form?" Instantly, Bai Meng became excited.
As he turned his head, he saw Pei Shuyan approaching and quickly greeted him, saying: "Old Pei, come over, inviting you to enjoy those youthful and beautiful sights together."
Pei Shuyan walked over, calm and composed, making it difficult to empathize with him.
Bai Meng said: "Look, how elegant that white elephant’s form is, arousing compassion at first sight."
Pei Shuyan shook his head and said: "Magnificent, strong."
Bai Meng slapped his forehead and said: "I forgot, you’re human. Then look diagonally across at that woman, graceful and delicate, with bright eyes and white teeth, gentle as jade—um, she seems to be looking for Brother Ming; he’s truly popular."
At this time, Qin Ming received his old acquaintances Xin Youdao, Liu Hanyi, Luo Lianqing, and others, who were the outstanding individuals of various academies in Kunleng.
As time passed, everyone felt deeply touched, they knew from the past that Qin Ming would rise, but they didn’t expect him to become renowned both in the heavens and on earth so quickly.
Pei Shuyan shook his head and said: "No feelings."
Bai Meng said sympathetically, "Then how do you feel about my sister, such a peerless beauty?"
"Although her icy skin and jade bones, peerless looks can tilt city and nation, but damn it, now I’m utterly calm," Pei Shuyan said at the end, even feeling panicked himself.
Does a physical defect truly affect one’s state of mind?
Bai Meng patted him on the shoulder and said: "Mr. Pei, you’ve made it!"
Pei Shuyan turned his head, looking at him, asked: "Made what?"
Bai Meng said: "Your Dao Heart is firm, unmoving as a mountain, able to resist all temptations, no one can sway your will, from here on your cultivation path will be smooth, unaffected by external matters."
Pei Shuyan contemplated and finally nodded seriously, saying: "Don’t mention it; now I only want to become stronger. Goddess, peerless fairy, to me now, are nothing but fleeting clouds. Even those youthful moments of love at first sight, mistakenly believed unforgettable this life, have turned into blurred shadows. It seems there’s no rush in seeking old seniors along the Immortal Road to restore my body; I’ll advance to Grandmaster first."
Bai Meng said: "Yes, that’s right!"
Late at night, Qin Ming secluded himself in the lakeside courtyard that once belonged to him at Shanhai Academy. He was practicing a very terrifying "True Skill," appearing as if a Black Hole, ready to devour everything.
"It seems that the body shattering multiple times, repeatedly tempered, although experiencing life and death ordeal, is not without benefits."
Even Qin Ming himself was amazed; he had practiced the devouring characteristic of Chaos Force to a refined level.
Actually, he had developed it long ago, but it was just an entry level; back at Shanhai Academy, he practiced it against Sun Chengjun of the Saint Lineage, once devouring his Heavenly Light Force.
Back then, he was far from adept, incomparable to now.
There is no doubt, this is a peerless Miao Technique.
The strongest path-protecting skill of the Saint Lineage has been almost thoroughly explored by him.
Qin Ming was very satisfied, more delighted than obtaining top treasure medicines and True Scriptures; he had gained an incredibly terrifying attack method.
"Hmm, it seems, with careful refinement, the benefits are vast, I should stay humble and cautious, as the various hidden attributes in Chaos Force are revealing themselves to me one by one."
"A great victory, Yujing’s Tao Rhythm poured down like countless star rivers falling on the Nine Heavens, crushing the giant entity—Immortal Blood Calamity, eventually shattering it!"
The next day, a piece of news shocked the world and then sparked a landslide of heated discussions, allowing people to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
If Yujing had been defeated, it would undoubtedly have led to an overwhelming disaster, but now the situation has reversed.
Tang Yushang prepared to ascend to the Nine Heavens, saying: "I want to go up and retrieve the Jade Mirror; are you coming?"
In fact, Qin Ming also received an invitation; with Yujing’s great victory, celebrations broke out all over, and all major forces were gathering in the sky for a grand event.
"Hmm, they might give additional rewards to the meritorious." Pei Shuyan’s spirit lifted, having fought bloodily against external enemies and paid heavily, he indeed wanted to go up, to see if there’d be extra compensation.
Bai Meng said: "Brother Ming, you’ve been named, and it’s requested that you must go up."
"Then we shall go together." Qin Ming finally decided to accompany them.
That day, he once again reached Sky City, the dazzling and magnificent Immortal City nestled in the Night Fog Sea, from where one could overlook the human world.
His registered disciple Su Mohua was the first to appear, greeting him and whispering: "Master, actually... this time it might be a matchmaking event."
