Night Without End
Chapter 261 - 169: Journey

Chapter 261: Chapter 169: Journey

Qin Ming was lost in thought; in the latter half of the night, he had traversed the Netherworld and stood beside the Heavenly Que. What a peculiar experience that was!

Although everything was false, he was still savoring the memory.

He looked out the window, and the night sky in the real world was so thick.

"A centipede that remains alive after death, hanging for four days, can still leave a trace of Residual Spirit during the hunt."

Qin Ming reflected; this night’s experience was actually quite perilous.

The Big Centipede itself was already very weak, yet the altar it manipulated was not simple. If he had unknowingly stepped onto it, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

He reckoned that he would have been sacrificed, and that bug might have replaced him.

He felt a wave of fear; in this world dense with Night Fog, could similar incidents be happening elsewhere?

If one thinks about it carefully, it indeed lacks a sense of security.

Qin Ming picked up the palm-sized golden Scale Armor, feeling its weight, heavier than any metallic material.

He meticulously studied the densely packed small texts, the more he read, the brighter his eyes grew, until it seemed as if a flame was flickering, drawing his spirit into it.

He quickly put it down, calming himself, fearing sudden resonance and suffering "heavy damage."

In the past, he had a painful experience.

At the Luo Fu Immortal Mountain Ruins, he had once been rendered blank by the "terrifying" emotions left by a certain old senior, as if struck by lightning.

Undoubtedly, this brilliant golden Scale Armor belonged to the True Inheritance One Page. Its value is immeasurable!

Qin Ming grew increasingly excited as he read, his eyes burning with intensity.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, fully prepared himself, and then tried to resonate. If something went wrong, he would immediately stop.

The scripture on the Scale Armor discussed the path of Esoteric Buddhism, starting with Divine Wisdom, profoundly mysterious!

Indeed, the emotions it carried were extremely complex, involving unfathomable old seniors, appearing calm, yet their emotions were exceedingly "fearsome."

Despite his thorough preparations, Qin Ming’s mind was still shaken, nearly fainting. This was even after he spread out multiple attempts.

If it weren’t for the text on the golden Scale Armor abruptly ending later, he wouldn’t want to resonate with it, given his Talent, he could comprehend it.

Because it was extremely painful, and his consciousness was nearly dispersed.

Finally, sweat dripped from Qin Ming’s forehead, nearly exhausted, the scripture was finally "perfect." A complete inheritance should have two golden Scale Armors.

Despite being extremely mentally tired, he smiled with satisfaction.

That night, the bizarre Divine Travel brought him immense gains.

Undoubtedly, this scripture belongs to the Sect Absolute Skill!

After recovering, Qin Ming immediately tried to practice it.

He felt its effect was excellent, worthy of the content on the True Inheritance One Page.

Overall, this scripture meaning surpasses the thin booklet given by Meng Xinghai’s master uncle.

After all, that was handed to him casually, just for trying out practice, not possibly offering the sect’s highest Dharma initially.

Quickly, the smile on Qin Ming’s face faded away.

Because the Divine Wisdom he practiced was absorbed, rebounding to the body, remaining in an unsolved state.

"Is this because the Silk Scripture method is too domineering, integrating everything, or because I’ve practiced it for a decade, my flesh and blood are most compatible with it?"

It left Qin Ming with no other choice, pursuing a singular path.

Practicing the scripture on the True Inheritance One Page didn’t change anything, still like the past, only aiding the Newborn Road.

Qin Ming researched for a long time, ultimately accepting reality; it was still early before dawn, he lay down and continued to sleep.

The next day, he got up early, first practicing the Life Changing Scripture, then the Five Thunders Continuous Organs. All these Inner Strength Dharma could extend life and enhance Talent, which he adhered to daily, never interrupted.

Then, Qin Ming went to meet Meng Xinghai and invited Li Qingyun.

"Are you setting off?"

"Kunleng is filled with legends, although adjacent to the Three Great Dynasties Yu, Qian, and Auspicious, none dare claim it, fearing complications, in the end, some old fellows established the Taoist there."

Both spoke successively, aware that Qin Ming was about to embark on a journey.

"I have good gifts for Uncle Meng and Master Li, thank you for your care."

"The golden rhinoceros horn tea sets and wine sets you brought back last time were excellent, what else are you gifting us?" The two were surprised, curious.

"This time it’s a significant gift." Qin Ming said.

Who self-proclaims a gift as significant; the two immediately sensed that his offerings were likely extraordinary.

In front of them, Qin Ming took paper and ink, painstakingly writing out the scripture from the golden Scale Armor word by word.

Approaching to look, initially confused, then seriously, to being completely shocked, ultimately petrified, utterly stunned.

"Such scripture meaning..." They weren’t people without worldly knowledge, yet somewhat dazed, this undoubtedly belonged to the secret Sect Absolute Teachings.

A young man writes it out to them at full speed?

They felt incredibly surreal, too unreal.

Soon, they discarded distracting thoughts, deeply drawn in, eyes unblinking, entirely immersed.

"Amazing! This scripture meaning is extraordinary, corroborating with my studies, resolving questions that baffled me, possibly facilitating my breakthrough."

Not knowing how long had passed, Meng Xinghai awoke, involuntarily exclaiming.

Li Qingyun’s expression turned extremely serious, and he said, "Xiao Qin, where did you get this scripture?"

He knew all too well the value of these writings. It was impossible for them to be circulated in the outside world. Even in the most top-tier dojos, they were considered secret transmissions.

Qin Ming put down the pen, his expression also turning serious, and said, "Last night, I was attacked and dragged into a dense black fog..."

He informed him of the occurrence, still left with many questions.

The expressions of both changed, realizing that the big centipede was not thoroughly dead and still harbored thoughts of revenge, far exceeding their expectations.

"That’s where the old centipede’s divine country was, but it was breached. The black fog area is very mysterious; those on the newborn road generally find it difficult to enter, unless they’ve reached the late stage and become an old senior with sufficiently powerful consciousness."

"In fact, even people on other paths can only contact that domain if they are highly skilled. Ordinary people simply don’t know about it, and some haven’t even heard of it."

Through conversation, Qin Ming discovered that every path had many secrets. Those in low realms simply had no way of knowing, unaware of how vast and grand the higher landscapes were, like ants gazing at the sky.

"Very dangerous, that altar was definitely not simple, the old centipede actually wants to die and be reborn, truly, a being with the promise of godhood is extremely intrigue, fortunately, Xiao Qin, you’re unharmed."

After an exchange, Qin Ming increasingly felt the entire night fog world was too dangerous, full of unknowns, and to protect oneself, one must continually strengthen.

Afterward, when discussing the journey, Qin Ming decided to set off in two days.

"I will send you over," Li Qingyun offered with a smile.

"No need, Master Li, I’ll set off myself." Qin Ming felt, always troubling the elder, he couldn’t bring himself to do so.

After all, he’s not from a noble family, needing no expert escort just to travel.

The night fog world is so vast, he quietly sets off, better to explore on his own.

"The distance from Chixia City to Kunleng is a full two thousand miles, that is indeed not close, let me send you there, don’t regard it as undue." Li Qingyun stated.

Qin Ming planned to travel on his own, wanting to take a careful look at this vast night fog world.

Uncle Meng spoke, "How about this, I’ll make arrangements. Xiao Qin, you set out alone, the journey is indeed somewhat distant, and the dark earth is far from as peaceful as you might imagine, some territories are extremely dangerous, even we have to detour around. If you stumble in unknowingly, trouble will surely ensue."

He informed, travel could be made by flying ship.

Its speed is not particularly fast, but one can appreciate the scenery along the way and understand the local customs, it also counts as an experience.

"Spirit ship?" Qin Ming asked.

"Not the kind of ship that requires consciousness spiritual light to drive." Meng Xinghai shook his head.

Li Qingyun smiled and said, "I’ve heard, two years since its debut, only half a year ago did it mature, reportedly the painstaking work of an elder at Tiangong Academy, finally mass-produced."

Meng Xinghai nodded, "Yes, mainly, they discovered a kind of strange tree in the frontier region of the exploration."

Accurately put, Tiangong Academy’s people discovered a brand-new energy in the depths of the night fog world.

The strange tree is relatively special, a piece of wood the size of a fist weighs ten pounds, and a slightly higher-grade of silver wood may weigh twenty to thirty pounds.

And high-grade varieties, such as those with an entirely pale golden hue, are not only heavier but can also emit various spiritual materials akin to the Fire Spring.

Qin Ming was surprised, no wonder the higher-ups wanted a great exploration. There were way too many good things in the depths of the night fog world.

"Moreover, traveling afar by that kind of ship has another benefit, occasionally one can guide down the ’Heavenly Light’ from the deep night sky."

Old seniors from the Outer World no longer need food, able to dine with the sunset and drink the wind and dew, namely, drinking the ’Heavenly Light’ high in the sky.

Two days later, Qin Ming quietly set out, arriving at Qixia City eight hundred miles away. Although the name only differed by one character, the scale of the two cities was incomparable.

Qixia City is a truly gigantic city, very famous. From a distance, one could see the dazzling lights piercing through the night fog, illuminating the entire area.

Because only such prestigious cities have flying ships taking off and landing, Chixia City has not yet been equipped.

Qixia City has a direct route to Kunleng.

Qin Ming held the ticket in his hand and had arrived at the flying ship’s take-off and landing place in Qixia City.

He discovered with surprise that there were many youths waiting for the ship, presumably like him, all going far to seek knowledge.

The night fog enveloped the area, the field was very spacious, with many large flying ships awaiting departure.

"Brothers, you don’t need to ask, during this time in this place, most people waiting for the ship are heading to Kunleng, even if they’ll enter different academies or dojos, we are considered in the same cohort."

A young man smiled, saying it’s the student registration season, all around the same age, the journey will certainly not be lonely.

"The journey is originally not dull, guess who I just saw? The notorious guy sweeping through the Eighty One Cities is waiting in the VIP room, also heading to Kunleng."

"No way, is he going there?"

The young men and women here were under twenty, mostly lively, with a variety of topics.

"That’s nothing, even the Pure Yang Body most suited to going to the Outer World is rumored to be heading to Kunleng this time."

Instantly, many were exclaiming, wondering why the Pure Yang Body made this choice.

"Kunleng is not weak. Some academies are actually backed by pioneers from the Outer World!" an outgoing girl said.

"Actually, there’s another reason, Kunleng’s various dojos and academies are preparing to jointly explore an external area of a forbidden land, there is a highly ranked auspicious beast, its blood can alter root bones, enough to let us achieve Nirvana....."

This piece of confidential news immediately stirred a commotion, and a group of young people became excited.

As they were about to head to Kunleng, did they also have a chance to gain a little of the auspicious beast’s blood?

"Don’t think too much, in this cohort, only the geniuses at the forefront on each road have the chance for such great fortune."

According to speculation, each dojo and academy would have some slots.

"That’s nothing, even descendants of some major figures from Fangwai Immortal Land and Yang Soil have already rushed over, one can well imagine how much the hunt for the auspicious beast has stirred things up."

Qin Ming quietly listened, sensing Kunleng wouldn’t be peaceful, but observing the storm unfolding could be quite interesting.

Don’t wait for updates tonight, I’m habitually staying up late, check in the morning.
