Chapter 824: Chapter 626: Demi-God Realm (Seeking Monthly Votes)_1

Qi Ming heard his inquiry and answered with a faint smile, "With light there is darkness, with justice there is evil. If the ’Silver Empire’ represents the side of justice and light in this world, then there is a ’Demon City’ that can rival the ’Silver Empire.’ Coming from the eastern lands, the ’Demon City’ is in constant skirmish with the Imperial City, such as the minor conflicts like the one we saw today, which occur frequently. However, situating this skirmish over my ’Hundred Clans Settlement’ and affecting us is absolutely intolerable... As for future troubles, hmph... Though I, Qi Ming, am not particularly talented, I certainly do not fear them."

As he spoke, the black sword on his back suddenly emitted a hum and released a streak of black light.

By then, Su Yu had realized that Qi Ming was extremely proud, and his earlier words had offended him. He quickly cupped his hands and bowed saying, "I was overthinking things. With your strength, senior, dealing with them should pose no difficulty."

Seeing Su Yu say this, Qi Ming suddenly laughed heartily and said, "While I am not weak, to contend against the Demon City or the Imperial City with my power alone is absolutely impossible. Unless Lord Ada regains his former power and we eight thousand Black Warriors reunite once more, only then neither the Imperial City nor the Demon City would dare to provoke us. My current lack of fear comes from the delicate situation between the Imperial City and the Demon City, neither would be foolish enough to trouble me over a few lost soldiers."

Qin Jiagui learned from Qi Ming that in order to find Yuan Niping, he would first have to go to the heart of the ’Silver Empire,’ the ’Imperial City.’ His mind was already racing with eagerness to fly to the ’Imperial City’ sooner rather than later, and he quickly cupped his hands and asked, "Senior Qi Ming, where exactly is this ’Imperial City,’ and how many days’ journey is it from here?"

Qi Ming looked at Qin Jiagui, then shook his head and said, "You want to go to the Imperial City to inquire about your friend’s whereabouts? No, no, not with your current strength."

Qin Jiagui was taken aback and asked, "Why not?"

"To enter the ’Imperial City,’ one must at least be a Silver Ranked Warrior. Warriors below the Silver Rank are not qualified. The ’Silver Empire’ does not hold its reputation in vain," Qi Ming’s words left Qin Jiagui stunned.

To go to the "Imperial City" and find Yuan Niping, must he become a Silver Soldier first? And he was currently only an Eighth Stage Black Iron Warrior; to become a Silver Soldier, how long would he have to wait?

Seeing Qin Jiagui’s disappointed expression, Qi Ming smiled and said, "Stay here. While there are things I can’t guarantee, helping you advance to a Silver Soldier sooner rather than later isn’t beyond me."

Ada looked at Qi Ming and suddenly said, "Qi Ming, you already possess the power of a Demi-god, don’t you?"

Qi Ming, with rarity, showed a hint of embarrassment on his face and said, "With a cultivation lasting thousands of years, I’ve barely reached it. I think if eight thousand Black Warriors were to unite, perhaps I would be the weakest among them."

Su Yu couldn’t help but remember when he first acquired the "Netherworld Skull," Ada had told him that if he could fully absorb and leverage the power of the Netherworld Skull, he would have the power to rival a Demi-god.

And now, before him, Qi Ming truly possessed the power of a Demi-god. Recalling Qi Ming’s formidable performance against the group of Silver Armored Giants, he realized that the power of a Demi-god was indeed incredibly strong.

Ada looked at Qi Ming and said, "To cultivate to the point of having the power of a Demi-god on one’s own is something I can still sense the hardship in. You... have done quite well."

Qi Ming, receiving Ada’s praise, showed a fleeting trace of excitement on his weathered face, but he quickly composed himself, made a slight bow, then with a trace of sorrow on his face, he said, "Alas, the further I progress, the harder it gets. The dream of immortality is so distant it’s beyond reach."

Ada smiled faintly, somewhat nostalgically saying, "Achieving immortality requires not only talent and effort... but also fortune and opportunity, and some things cannot be achieved by effort alone."

Qi Ming nodded and hummed in agreement, thinking that, in the previous era, Lord Ada was the perfect example. She lacked nothing, except a bit of fortune at the crucial moment.

However, Qin Jiagui was excited and exclaimed, "Senior Qi Ming, can you truly help us rapidly elevate to the level of Silver Warriors?"

Qi Ming looked at him and Su Yu, speaking gravely, "We walk the same path. I can share my experiences with you and even lend you a hand." At this, he looked over at Qing Huang and shook his head, "But for you, I cannot be of any assistance."

Qing Huang smiled lightly, knowing he had seen through her true identity, and said, "Thank you, senior. It can’t be helped."

Qi Ming turned back to Su Yu and Qin Jiagui and said, "You have now reached the Eighth Stage as Bronze Warriors. To enter the Ninth Level is simple, as the Bronze Warriors at the Ninth level still need to refine their souls, just as you did when you were Black Iron Warriors."

As for this point, Su Yu and Qin Jiagui had already figured as much, but knowing is not the same as being able to do it, so neither of them spoke, both silently watching Qi Ming.

Among those present, Su Yu and Qin Jiagui had the least advanced realm of evolution, still at the realm of Bronze. The others, whether Qing Huang or Zhu Dasheng, had all surpassed the realm of a Bronze Warrior. Thus, the experience Qi Ming spoke of was now useless to them, and with no secrecy, Qi Ming spoke it openly before everyone.
