Chapter 174: Chapter 111 Breakthrough

Qin Ming’s exhaustion after the battle was swept away, as if he had taken a tonic, his spirit immediately boosted, and despite the injuries and bloodstains on his body, he was once again radiant.

"What a great place!" he exclaimed, the pain from his injuries seemingly lessened.

The stone door behind the two slowly closed, but the Mountain and River Spirit Nest was not dim, with Spirit Light steaming up from the Earth Vein.

Although the Spirit Nest had a stone table and bronze lamps, it was naturally formed.

A pool lay ahead, with two kinds of Spirit Light entangling, like two fish chasing each other inside.

A crack in the Mountain and River Spirit Nest spouted smoke and clouds resembling a large tree, sprinkling shimmering light as if leaves were fluttering down here.

The Spirit Nest was less than a hundred square meters, the stone walls had some strange patterns, and upon closer inspection, they turned out to be natural cloud patterns, some even resembled text.

Li Qing Yue spoke, "Characters formed by natural patterns are what outsiders like to copy, from which one can comprehend some extraordinary forces."

She was no longer listless, her condition improving, and the light returned to her eyes, her damaged Silver Mud armor set against her snow-like skin, creating a unique and unconventional beauty.

"You can recover, right?" Qin Ming asked with concern.

"No problem, I might even make further progress." Li Qing Yue nodded, her Consciousness Spiritual Light shining once more, the Yellow Court within her also reviving with vigor.

"That’s good." Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he asked, "My spirit feels more and more replenished, as if I’m continuously drinking tonics, what’s going on?"

Li Qing Yue smiled and said, "There is a special substance here, or rather, a miraculous power that stimulates the human Spiritual Field. Don’t worry, the outer edges of the Spirit Nest won’t harm us, it’s harmless and for us, it will transform only in beneficial ways."

The first realm for the outsiders is the Heart Pavilion, which involves opening the Consciousness Spiritual Light related to the Spiritual Field, this is their foundation.

The Taoist heritage of Fangwai values the Spirit Nest, mainly because of these domains.

Qin Ming was surprised and said, "This is just the outer area?"

Li Qing Yue nodded and said, "Yep, get settled first, if there’s no problem, you can try to enter the core area with me."

Currently seriously injured, she didn’t dare to venture deeper into the Mountain and River Spirit Nest immediately and needed to recover here first.

Qin Ming nodded, already feeling as if taking tonics right here, what would it be like to enter the core area of the Spirit Nest? He was quite expectant.

He carefully observed the cave, showing surprise; some walls actually bore natural Flying Immortal Map, which were spectacular.

He mused to himself, "Could it be those folk legends originated after seeing these natural patterns?"

Li Qing Yue said, "Outsiders talk only about being Close to Immortal, they never seek to become true immortals, their ultimate goal is to seek truth."

"That’s profoundly meaningful!" Qin Ming pondered for a moment.

During the pioneering era, the unbelievable powerful beings discovered in the depths of the Yewu World by various groups were merely referred to as Near-Immortal Creatures, Class of God, and the like.

Li Qing Yue seemed to have thought of something as well and said, "We need to strive to improve ourselves, as the population increases, the Advanced Fire Spring is hardly enough. When the need arises to expand the giant cities, we will probably have to venture into the depths of the Yewu World for pioneering, the Great Opening Era, it holds limitless opportunities as well as various dangers."

"Mhm!" Qin Ming nodded seriously.

He listened to Meng Xinghai talking about this; the future is likely to be a grand era accompanied by glory, blood, splendor, and laments, filled with uncertainty.

Qin Ming practiced the Silk Scripture Technique to treat his injuries. After being nourished by the miraculous substance within the Spirit Nest, he recovered quickly, his essence, spirit, and qi exceptionally abundant.

Li Qing Yue said, "It seems you’re very well adapted here, follow me into the core area of the Spirit Nest to try. If you feel pain, let me know right away, and I’ll get you out at once."

She now looked radiant, her pale face regaining its crystal-clear luster, and once again she seemed ethereal and out of this world, like a Heavenly Immortal draped in tattered armor.

"I don’t think it’s a problem," Qin Ming said.

Li Qing Yue smiled, not saying much. She struck a stone slab inscribed with dense runes on the floor with the Divine Radiance born in the Yellow Court.

With the spread of immortal fog and the interweaving of Spirit Light, the place quickly opened up, revealing the second layer of the domain, which was also the core of the Mountain River Secret Nest, previously hidden.

Li Qing Yue gracefully floated down and stood on the ground, taking a deep breath; her shattered silver armor clanked, resonating with her.

She healed using a Secret Technique, relaxing completely.

Qin Ming observed as numerous points of light were distributed in the Void of the stone cave below.

He landed in the Spirit Nest Core Area of the second layer and immediately felt a dizzying surge in his head, stumbled on his feet, and nearly fell over here.

Now it was Li Qing Yue’s turn to support him and she asked with concern, "Does it feel terrible? I’ll get you out."

She reassured Qin Ming that he could still gain many benefits from the first layer of the Spirit Nest.

Qin Ming shook his head and said, "Initially, I felt like I was drunk, but now it’s just a slight buzz, I am completely relaxed, and I’ve never felt better."

This was true, he seemed very well adapted to this place.

Li Qing Yue supported him and said, "Don’t push yourself too hard, if your head hurts, you must tell me immediately, or else it will really be dangerous."

The Mountain and River Spirit Nest can stimulate the Spiritual Field and enhance Consciousness Spiritual Light, but it’s not everyone’s path, and if not an outsider, one cannot endure the Divine Energy of this place.

"Really, it’s okay," Qin Ming said after which he practiced skill, displayed the Golden Silkworm Technique, Lihuo Power, etc.

He felt entirely weightless, as if bathed in a warm spring, extremely comfortable, especially around the head, where there was a warm flow surging, so pleasant he almost wanted to hum aloud.

"You... might have been delayed; perhaps you can also take the path of the outsiders," Li Qing Yue said with a peculiar expression.

This old friend was advancing rapidly on the Newborn Road, able to cut down the Outer Saint in five rebirths, and now seemingly capable of stepping onto her path as well, which was very rare.

Li Qing Yue said, "The Cui Family, to protect Cui Chonghe, claimed you had extraordinary talent, and now it seems they were not wrong."

She felt it was a pity that Qin Ming had been kept hidden for many years, never having access to what he should have learned.

"It’s fine, if I have the talent for it, starting on the path now isn’t too late," Qin Ming replied. There’s no use regretting now, time can’t be turned back.

Afterward, he practiced the techniques from the Silk Scripture here, which was his Basic Technique, capable of controlling Lihuo, Golden Silkworm, and All Laws.

The place became quiet, both of them began healing, operating their Basic Techniques.

Qin Ming immersed himself, his body surfaced with Silver Mud, golden thread, forming the Golden Silk Jade Robe, covering his body, with a mist of immortal fog flowing around him.

This is indeed rare; it usually only happens in the process of Qin Ming’s body rebirth, when he falls into a deep sleep and such a sight emerges.

After the wounds on Qin Ming’s body healed, the blood scabs began to fall off automatically. Although it was just a slight sound, it still alerted Li Qing Yue.

She saw the Golden Silk Jade Robe on Qin Ming’s body and noticed a faint Spirit Light emerging on his forehead.

She whispered, "Not yet following the path of outsiders, but the Consciousness Spiritual Light is already beginning to overflow; this really demonstrates an extraordinary talent."

When Qin Ming opened his eyes, he noticed Li Qingyue watching him and asked, "What’s wrong?"

"I’ll teach you a spell; try it here."

"The path of Fangwai?" asked Qin Ming.

"This spell must not be divulged to others," Li Qingyue cautioned.

"Okay!" Qin Ming nodded.

He began to breathe rhythmically, employing a special breathing skill along with corresponding movements.

"You’re making rapid progress; at this rate, you will soon awaken your Consciousness Spiritual Light," Li Qingyue nodded, though she wasn’t too surprised.

An hour later, Qin Ming opened his eyes, with real Consciousness Spiritual Light intertwining at his forehead, truly entering the initial stage.

Soon, his expression changed slightly. The skill from the silk scripture actually also cultivated a thread of Consciousness Spiritual Light, which has now merged the subsequent light he developed.

Subsequently, the merged Consciousness Spiritual Light circulated throughout his body, leaving only a trace behind.

Qin Ming felt it earnestly and discovered an enhancement in his physical condition!

"What’s happening?" He was somewhat puzzled.

After hearing his detailed explanation, Li Qing Yue said softly, "You couldn’t possibly be naturally suited to embark on the path of body mutation, could you?"

Qin Ming was astonished and said, "At the rebirth stage of my path, the main focus was on enhancing physical quality. Only in the outward expression stage did I start to touch upon the power of Consciousness. Has the premature birth of Consciousness Spiritual Light been corrected back to its original trajectory? But the gained spiritual power has not dissipated, it has just nourished the flesh!"

Not all of his Consciousness Spiritual Light was used to nourish; part of it remained.

Li Qingyue examined his body and said, "The stronger your Body, the more Consciousness Spiritual Light it can carry, as if maintaining a state of balance."

She smiled and said, "That’s good, focusing on one aspect allows you to go further. And in the future, once your flesh is strong enough, anything is possible."

Qin Ming pondered whether it was due to his body or the Silk Scripture Skill issue.

"Don’t zone out, your current state is not bad either," said Li Qing Yue.

She operated her Consciousness Spiritual Light, injecting it into the various mysterious Runes on the stone wall. This arrangement by her Ancestor Master could fully resurrect the Mountain and River Spirit Nest.

"You should now be able to adapt to the Divine Energy here."

Momentarily, the points of light previously scattered in the Void connected with each other, beginning to arrange orderly.

Mountain and River Spirit Nest revealed ripples one after another, like waves spreading out, covering both persons, greatly stimulating their Consciousness Spiritual Light.

Li Qingyue’s injuries were healing, her torn Battle Clothing constantly roaring, as lustrous and translucent as her body, emitting splendid brilliance.

The Consciousness power she could mobilize was naturally far greater than Qin Ming’s current level. Her injuries visibly healed at a rapid pace, with slight bone fractures healing automatically, her Tao Bone as steadfast as ever.

In her Sea of Consciousness, it seemed as if a golden sun was about to leap out of the thick fog-laden sea, her Spirit Light bursting forth, about to disperse the black mist.

Qin Ming found that, without practicing any skill, his Consciousness Spiritual Light was enhancing, as if receiving some radiation, exciting the Spiritual Field and consequently precipitating a transformation!

"Truly worthy of being called the Mountain and River Spirit Nest!" he exclaimed.

Since practicing any skill didn’t yield much effect, he simply let go, passively receiving the Spirit Nest’s radiation and stimulation, allowing his Spiritual Field to undergo changes.

His Consciousness Spiritual Light rose swiftly, but depletion matched pace, nearly synchronously nourishing his flesh.

"This might not count as the sixth rebirth, but the effects are no less impressive!"

Qin Ming found that Divine Energy, nourished back from the Spiritual Domain, continuously elevated his physique, and even the Heavenly Light was getting stronger along with it.

He felt immensely satisfied inside, truly feeling the changes within himself, fully comparable to a full rebirth!

"Since I don’t need to practice any skill, then I’ll practice the Wuji Scripture."

Qin Ming didn’t waste time and began to study the newly gained Miracle Technique. Through spiritual resonance, he had already grasped the essence of the scripture.

Wu symbolizes Yang Soil, Ji symbolizes Yin Soil; these two characters alone convey the domain it addresses, a Miracle Technique related to earth.

The Disciples of Tathagata highly revere it, claiming it to be even more precious than the Lihuo Scripture, which is no exaggeration.

Soon, Qin Ming became engrossed and even began to enact it.

The Mountain and River Spirit Nest connected to the ancestral Earth Veins; besides the Divine Energy that stimulates the Spiritual Field, what it had in abundance was Earth Vein Essence.

As he started practicing, a yellow fog rose from beneath his feet, gradually enveloping him.

...

Outside Luo Fu Immortal Mountain Ruins, many were closely monitoring the latest developments.

"It seems that Close Immortal Item will soon have an owner; the competition among the Core Disciples is becoming increasingly clear."

"Brother Liu, I feel like your junior brother might come out on top."

"Not necessarily, perhaps it will be your junior sister who will stand out and acquire the Close Immortal Item."

Some talked with smiles on their faces; naturally, there were also those with grim expressions.

"Eh, Li Qing Yue hasn’t come out yet; hasn’t she given up? But all parties have confirmed that she has been severely injured, even affecting her foundations, utterly losing her qualification to compete."

"Perhaps the situation is more serious than we imagined; she might even be unable to walk out on her own."

...

Inside the Mountain and River Spirit Nest, Li Qing Yue had fully recovered, her Consciousness Light becoming more dazzling. Her strength was slowly advancing, soon to ascend to the next level.

Qin Ming was enveloped in a yellow glow; he had entered the initial stage of practicing the Wuji Scripture. Additionally, his flesh was continuously nourished by Consciousness Spiritual Light, almost comparable to undergoing the sixth rebirth!
