Chapter 1336: Chapter 567: Seeds Flying Everywhere

The night wind blew, the silver bamboo forest by the lake rustled, and ripples spread across the lake, layer upon layer of Immortal Light.

Qin Ming walked out of the palace halls and stepped onto the velvet‑like lawn. There were many young prodigies here as well, gathered in small clusters of three or five, and in the blink of an eye some acquaintances were already walking toward him.

Lu Zheng, known as Lesser Celestial Venerable, glanced at his younger sister and jerked his chin at her in indication.

Lu Jingli naturally also saw Qin Ming appear. Her fair fingers held a crystalline wine cup; after a slight hesitation, she did not walk over immediately.

She felt somewhat resistant. In the past, she had an indifferent attitude, obeying the family’s arrangements, choosing an excellent person as Dao companion regardless of origin.

Yet now, she had caught the wind of rumors: there were very few noble ladies in the Huang Family’s Direct Lineage, and they were extremely cautious in choosing a husband. Qin Ming was only a second choice; the ones they truly valued were One Sword, Qian Cheng, Wei Shouzhen and the like.

Because of this, Lu Jingli felt unbalanced in her heart. Why could the Huang Family’s women hold such a transcendent status?

She was the Direct Lineage descendant of the strongest Immortal Body Refining Heavenly Elder, a legitimate daughter of the Lu Family. Was she really so much inferior to the Huang Family’s legitimate daughter? Someone else’s second choice—why did it have to be her first choice?

Lu Jingli replied to her elder brother, saying, "Let me watch a little longer."

She had an oval face, skin fair as Mutton Jade, and remarkably outstanding looks, a noble lady whose name shook Above the Nine Heavens. Her Talent was also extremely high; she indeed had ample grounds for pride.

Lu Zheng did not try to persuade her further, and said, "As you wish."

However, he added another sentence: "At present, Chaos Force has aroused the interest of many old monsters; a lot of people want to study it."

Lu Jingli’s elegant brows furrowed slightly. She said, "Isn’t this path said to lack universality?"

Lu Zheng took a light sip of wine, his gaze sweeping across the crowd. He said, "If it were suitable for everyone, then I’d wager some old monster would have personally taken the field already."

Lu Jingli had of course heard as well that recently Seventh Realm experts were paying great attention to Chaos Force.

Lu Zheng said, "However, the Saint has walked this path to great heights and produced brilliant battle records, and after Li Wanfa succeeded his master, he also slew one of the Seven Heroes of the Heavenly Clan, continuing that line’s dazzling achievements. After that there was Qin Ming, who has initially displayed a kind of dominance within the same realm. This system... is gradually showing signs of becoming rounded and harmonious. In the future it may no longer be so deadly, and may not necessarily end in self‑destruction."

As for the great transcendent powers, it was not yet to the point that they absolutely had to grasp Chaos Force. This Cultivation Technique was still far from having reached a state of flawless perfection.

If it truly matured completely, some old codger would naturally jump out in person. Even if they did not pluck the fruit halfway, they would definitely want to stick a foot in.

By that time, no matter how strong the Saint was, he would most likely be unable to block the infiltration. His outstanding Disciples and descendants might be taken in as adopted sons, sons‑in‑law, and the like by certain old monsters.

Lu Jingli was surprised; she saw Feng Zhige and Lu Chengyuan walk over to approach Qin Ming, followed by the elite disciples of Thunder Marsh Palace and Heavenly God Ridge.

After that, the noble lady Yan Zhuohua, whose fame was even greater than hers, actually also took the initiative to go up and greet him.

Lu Zheng said, "Right now, it’s mainly the young and strong who want to study Chaos Force. If they can practice it smoothly, they’ll continue; if they hit a setback, they can stop there and not go through the True Form Tribulation."

At present, some people were truly very intent on it and wanted to set off early on the road.

There was also a group who wanted to use it as a supplementary cultivation, treating it as an Attack Method for protecting the path.

After all, this Cultivation Technique was too ferocious; even the earliest Ancestor Master had crippled several of his own.

In the distance, others were discussing as well, operating on an even higher level—such as Xie Muzhe, Cheng Xian, and the like, all Grandmasters renowned in the heavens.

"For the moment, the Saint has successfully walked through the latter part and is considered peerlessly brilliant; Li Wanfa has broken through to the Fifth Realm and has yet to explode, which initially suggests that his successful experience may be replicable."

"Qin Ming... remains to be observed. They say he’s of the side branch, yet he managed to embark on the path by himself—now that’s rather astonishing. If one pursues the Extreme Realm, his seed might be the better choice, but the risks could also be greater."

Overall, the evaluations of this group of Grandmasters were still fairly positive.

Many people had gathered around Qin Ming. Smiling, he raised his cup, not merely coping, but controlling the rhythm and chatting with them quite enthusiastically. He was still asking different people for advice on the matter of the Reincarnation Lotus.

At last, he obtained a piece of valuable information.

Zhou Tian Dao spoke: "Brother Qin, have you ever heard of the Dream Insect?"

How could Qin Ming have only heard of it—he had even come into contact with it before. He nodded and said, "I’ve heard something. It’s ranked fifth among Strange Insects under heaven, with many terrifying legends. Even flourishing Earth Immortal Clans dread this insect. There’s the saying that ’one insect must not be passed down for three generations’; in the end, it must be deferentially, even reverently, sent away."

Li Heng nodded and sighed. "And it has to be escorted personally by a peerless Earth Immortal deep into Yewu World, with no room for any mishap, or the entire clan will face a great catastrophe."

Zhou Tian Dao further revealed that there was a rumor: the Spiritual Silk Thread spat out by a Dream Insect might be able to break open the Reincarnation Black Lotus and fish out the Spiritual Will that has become Lost within it.

Feng Zhige shook his head and said, "That’s far too difficult. A Dream Insect will never spit out spirit silk for others—that touches on the secret of their Borrowing Body Enlightenment."

Zhou Tian Dao nodded. "Right. Hence there’s the saying that a tuft of Dream Silk is worth ten taels of Exotic Gold."

Qin Ming was worried, unsure how long Xiao Wu and Xiang Yiwu could hold on. Could they, relying on themselves, break through reincarnation successfully?

At the current stage, if he were to actively investigate Dream Insects, he might once again encounter that wisp of the Old Worm’s consciousness, which would be quite dangerous.

However, in the depths of Yewu World, someone had once used golden silk to nail down a Dream Insect and severely injure it. This showed that Dream Insects were not absolutely invincible.

Clearly, among those gathered around Qin Ming, many were there for the sake of unraveling Chaos Force.
