Chapter 181: Chapter 115: Taking Action One After Another
The youth’s body was surrounded by a layer of Spiritual Heavenly Light Force, making him appear remarkably clear and void-like, as if he was an immortal being from Fangwai.
Zheng Maoze was sent flying, a trace of blood hanging on the corner of his mouth as he fell to the ground, emitting painful cries, looking extremely awkward. Coupled with his reputation as "Zheng Dazhuang," he seemed even less like a person from Fangwai.
His Consciousness Spiritual Light twisted as it emerged from his body, burnt through by the punch, unevenly distributed, and no longer as agile as before, appearing quite dim.
His body in excruciating pain, after being smashed by the fist, the sound from his bones was like popping beans, which continued briefly, and it wasn’t just one or two that broke.
Everyone was shocked; the youth’s movements were too fast, just now like a bolt of lightning striking past.
Qin Ming retracted the Heavenly Light Force from his fist back into his body, his fingertips clear as jade, his entire person seeming quite otherworldly; had his right fist not been clenched, people would have doubted if that violent punch was really thrown by him.
Zheng Maoze gathered his Consciousness Spiritual Light, internally examining his own condition, before spitting out another mouthful of blood—eighteen bones were broken, and it infuriated him, causing him to vomit blood.
He had just made a move only to be hammered himself in return? He, a person from Fangwai, was beaten to the point of breaking bones and tearing sinews by a mere Golden Armor Guard.
The youth seemed to have a tall and straight stature, but Zheng Maoze felt as though he had been solidly trampled by a massive dragon-elephant.
Many Outer Disciples showed surprise and did not step forward to assist Zheng Maoze because they felt that the youth’s words were not false, and he might truly be a direct inheritor of the Six Imperial Forces.
Otherwise, how could his Heavenly Light Force be so domineering? With one punch, it defeated Zheng Maoze’s Consciousness Spiritual Light.
People from Fangwai believed they could look down on those on the path of rebirth, but there are a few exceptions that they dare not underestimate, including inheritances like Heaven Supporting Strength, Ru Lai Power, and Six Imperial Forces.
Because the Heavenly Light Energy cultivated by these Taoist lineages could harm them.
Even though these lineages would face issues with slow progress and difficulty improving strength later on, some old-timers could climb to terrifying heights through the accumulation of time.
"Sorry, I’ve just come down from the mountain and lack experience in facing the enemy on the spot, so I was a bit nervous," Qin Ming said with a mild voice, which did not at all resemble the dominance of his punch.
With these words, Zheng Maoze almost vomited blood again. A newcomer down the mountain reduced him to a mere backdrop; if word of this got out, it was not particularly glorious.
Obviously, the Outer Disciples temporarily acknowledged Qin Ming’s special identity. A successor of the Six Imperial Forces could sit at the same table with them, not just an ordinary Golden Armor Guard.
The reason Qin Ming merged the Three Great Strange Skills and eighteen types of Heavenly Light Force immediately was because it was his first time confronting a person from Fangwai at the Yellow Court Realm, and he did not dare to be careless.
Although it forced him to reveal a little, his mood was quite pleasant after releasing the punch, because the Zheng brothers had been particularly overbearing since his accident.
Firstly, Zheng Maorong relied on his status and did not take action personally, but with looks and faint smiles, he suggested others act against Qin Ming.
Then Zheng Maoze targeted Qin Ming at Black and White Mountain, approaching him openly while actually highlighting their current status difference, even collaborating with Zeng Yuan to stop him from leaving, waiting for Li Qingxu and Wang Caiwei to arrive, ready to watch an interesting play unfold.
Therefore, after throwing that punch, Qin Ming felt completely relaxed, his pores open and his spirit bright, before he then looked at his old friend Zeng Yuan.
"Brother, please give me a hand," Qin Ming smiled.
Zeng Yuan was quite wary of him, even if Zheng Maoze had just been careless, for this youth’s punch light was capable of burning the light of consciousness, undeniably real, and extremely dangerous.
He calmly asked, "What is it?"
Qin Ming placed his right hand on the ground, channeled Heavenly Light, and with a hiss, he used Sticky Force to draw some vivid red blood drops without coming into contact with his own fingertips, circulating it outside of the Heavenly Light.
Qin Ming politely said, "Since everyone needs to contribute a drop of Pure Yang Blood Essence, it wouldn’t be right for me to be too exceptional, can you please refine this blood for me, it should be able to condense into a drop of Pure Yang Blood, right?"
Zeng Yuan was shocked; he never expected that the so-called favor would be to ask him to do this, which was completely outrageous.
He now believed that this person was mostly a new disciple fresh from the mountain, utterly ignorant of the ways of the world.
How could he agree? Didn’t he see that Zheng Maoze’s eyes were almost shooting fire? That expression was as if he wanted to devour someone!
Qin Ming stared at him and said, "Pure Yang Blood is precious, and everyone is contributing, do you really want to let it drain into the ground?"
Zeng Yuan felt that, although he was still calm, there was a dangerous aura spreading; this inexperienced newcomer wouldn’t also want to punch him, would he?
His hairs stood on end; at such a close distance, how could he dodge? The Six Imperial inherited by the Successor of the Six Imperial was famous in the Yewu World, and he didn’t want to be hit for no good reason.
Therefore, he stopped caring about Zheng Dazhuang, naturally taking the blood and began to refine Pure Yang Blood on the spot.
Naturally, Qin Ming wouldn’t really strike him; he was just using the identity of a "stubborn and naïve disciple" from the Six Imperial lineage to scare him a little.
He had hit Zheng Maoze with a punch because the latter intended to hurt him.
Even as the direct inheritor of the Six Imperial Forces, if he struck without proper reason, it would definitely draw the ire of the Outer Disciple.
"Poof!"
Zheng Maoze vomited blood again because he saw that Zeng Yuan had refined his blood, with a hissing sound and light smoke, leaving only a drop of True Blood behind.
"Brother, are you alright?" Qin Ming asked with concern, and once again stated he was a bit flustered encountering a high-level practitioner from the Yellow Court Realm and had not intended to hurt anyone.
Zheng Maoze wanted to say: Shut up!
Mentioning it again and again really hurt his pride and severely impacted his confidence in becoming close to immortal.
Qin Ming went over and helped Zheng Maoze up.
In the eyes of some, he truly seemed to be giving the other party a way out, leaving some face.
Zheng Maoze did not want to speak with him, using his Consciousness Spiritual Light to support his severely injured body, walking staggeringly to one side.
Qin Ming subtly drew the blood he had spit out here with Sticky Force, quietly presenting it to Zeng Yuan.
For a moment, many people’s looks at him changed; was this truly an inexperienced youngster, or was he deliberately trying to anger Zheng Maoze? Something was off with this Successor of the Six Imperial.
Zeng Yuan was between a rock and a hard place, with this troublesome affair somehow falling on him!
The Core Disciples naturally would not object; the more Pure Yang Blood, the better.
Zheng Maoze turned his head to see this scene and was so enraged that he couldn’t stop coughing violently. He quickly covered his mouth, fearing that any blood might fall to the ground.
His heart was filled with immense resentment, gritting his teeth in anger. That blockhead really had no humanity!
Although the collection of Pure Yang Blood Essence encountered some twists and turns, it ultimately did not meet with any great obstruction. Many of the Golden Armor Guards were already followers of the Outer Disciples.
Only a few of the Outer Saints did not provide blood. They came from notable backgrounds and indeed were invited to lend a hand; they were under no obligation to do so.
Qin Ming noticed that in addition to some Outer Disciples looking at him, there were also a few who practiced special vigor techniques and had once fixed their gaze on him.
This included Chen Shuhang, who practiced the Five Colored Thunder Light, Jiang Congyun, the inheritor of the Chunyang Palace, and a young man suspected of practicing the Yuqing Power.
Although they were all on the same path, Qin Ming was likely to collide first with these individuals, as they had stronger resistance to the Heavenly Light in the giant pit.
As time passed, everything was ready.
Some vessels, such as jade jars and crystal bottles, previously used to store elixirs, were now filled with Pure Yang Blood, vivid red and shedding an auspicious glow, clearly divine Spiritual Material.
Their Spiritual value was extremely high, and with some special herbs, one could surely refine Big Medicine!
Threads of Chunyang Consciousness Radiance, hazy as mist and cloud, converged together, resembling a relatively gentle miniature sun.
When selecting the Outer Saints to enter the bottom of the giant pit, there was some minor turbulence; the initial targets for who was most suitable to go in were obviously predetermined.
But the journey could be very dangerous. Who could guarantee that the presence of Pure Yang Spiritual Material would definitely protect one’s safety?
Qin Ming entered into the sights of some Core Disciples, who all wanted to invite him to take part and help retrieve the Close to Immortal Item.
He demurely shook his head, but his refusal was not very definitive.
Because he indeed wanted to go inside. If he didn’t go along, he felt somewhat uneasy. He had to check the status of the Close to Immortal Item himself to avoid any tampering by those who entered first.
"In our Outer World, although we do not have specialized records of all kinds of vigor techniques, our Scripture Pavilion occasionally contains a few scattered among them..."
Hu Tingwen, Tang Xumi and a few other Core Disciples spoke secretly with Qin Ming, offering him a particular vigor technique.
"I want a Miracle Technique," said Qin Ming.
"There might be one, lying dust-covered in some corner, however, it’s unlikely to be found soon."
...
At the end of the discussion, they promised to find Qin Ming a rather powerful cultivation technique. Although it was not a Miracle Technique, it was certainly quite famous; for example, they had once seen an incomplete manuscript of the Divine Ape Power.
Finally, the candidates were confirmed: Chen Shuhang, who mastered the Five Colored Thunder and Fire, Jiang Congyun, the inheritor of the Chunyang Palace, and Qin Ming were headed towards the center to retrieve the Close to Immortal Item.
Additionally, the inheritors of the Five Elements Palace and the Yuqing Power and others were to follow from behind to ensure a foolproof operation.
Qin Ming felt somewhat repulsed but still smeared the Pure Yang Blood Essence on his armor. His entire body was crimson, shimmering with dazzling radiance.
Chen Shuhang chose to protect his body with Chunyang Consciousness Radiance, while Jiang Congyun mixed the approaches, imbuing the smeared blood with Spirit Light.
In a sense, the three of them could also be considered test subjects, to see which method was most effective. The following individuals could adjust their approach based on feedback.
At the giant pit’s basin, resembling a large bowl, the intense Heavenly Light was incredibly dense as if divine fire was burning, and it could be seen that light smoke continuously emitted from their armor.
Whether it was the Pure Yang Blood Essence or the Chunyang Consciousness Radiance, both were being consumed continuously but did indeed prove to be useful. For now, it appears that they could support the advance.
"Do the two of you have no other ideas? Can’t we comprehend that Close to Immortal Item, or temporarily borrow it?" Jiang Congyun spoke up.
His sect was well known, and he was specifically invited to help, and while Pure Yang Power was not as powerful as the Six Imperial Forces, it was also famously known in the Yewu World.
"Mm, we could study it first," echoed Chen Shuhang.
Qin Ming naturally nodded as well; there was no need to be confrontational with them since he knew that those willing to risk going in first all had their own motives.
"Perhaps around the Close to Immortal artifact, there are also some good things scattered about," Jiang Congyun said with a smile.
Qin Ming’s mind stirred. His backing, the Chunyang Palace, was quite ancient and remained a colossal entity to this day; perhaps it knew some secrets of this place.
They were sprinting, not daring to delay any time, and now they were not far from the center of the pit. In the distance, they could vaguely see the auspicious glow steaming up, and the immortal fog swirling around.
Qin Ming became cautious, although he was confident, he also wanted to avoid any mishaps.
Boom!
Above the Heavenly Pit, the Core Disciples exploded into battle, unexpectedly breaking into a fight.
Tang Xumi, Su Jingshu, Jiang Shengyu, and Luo Qingge were originally at odds, but nobody expected the four to unite once again and attack Hu Tingwen and Sun Jingtian.
The result was unexpected; Hu Tingwen and Sun Jingtian were prepared and quickly retreated, escaping in one direction without suffering serious injuries.
The four pursued them relentlessly, as if eager to eliminate those two.
Other Outer Disciples chose to stand by, not taking sides with either party.
The developments once again left the elite disciples aghast; the six experts, during the melee and as they neared the crowd, simultaneously struck at an elite disciple.
Shockingly, the previously obscure disciple displayed profound strength, radiating dazzling Five Colored Radiance and instantly severely injuring Luo Qingge, sending her flying away.
Cui Chong stared with profound eyes and an icy expression, unexpectedly besieged. He knew that he had most likely missed his chance at the Close to Immortal Item forever.
Li Qingyue’s eyes were clear. As a Golden Armor Guard, she stayed aloof from the fray, choosing to watch the battle.
At the bottom of the pit, Qin Ming had already seen the Close to Immortal Item; they had reached their destination.
Chen Shuhang’s Five Colored Thunder Fire roared fiercely, thunderous sounds deafening, incredibly terrifying. Jiang Congyun’s Pure Yang Power was even more domineering, instantly dispersing the thick Heavenly Light nearby.
Qin Ming also had to make a move, once again showcasing the prowess of a Young Master Ancestor.
