Chapter 383: Chapter 232: Testing Skill

"In the duel with the most legendary disciple of the Immortal Temple, you’ve gained a slight edge and are now on the path of legend. However, you must guard against arrogance; that was merely an awareness light of Chu Pianran, far from comparable to her true form."

Such a voice unexpectedly sounded by Qin Ming’s ear.

He realized that he indeed immersed himself, as if truly returning to the ancient times, facing legendary figures of that era, the duel felt utterly real.

At this moment, he seemed bathed in ancient glory, like a new star rising.

At the very least, the ancient disciples of this dojo viewed him in this way.

Even the contemporary Immortal Path disciples were entranced. The impact of that battle was enormous, and even in this era, the strongest young power warrior of the Immortal Era would still shine brilliantly, right?

"Hopefully she’s already dead and hasn’t survived to this era; otherwise, that would be a great trouble!" pondered Qin Ming.

If the woman in purple were to emerge, she would most certainly crush him; her Taoist cultivation was unfathomable, at least standing in the Third Realm.

"Hmm?" Qin Ming sensed something was amiss, an inexplicable anxiety, then his hairs stood on end as he perceived danger approaching.

He turned around and left immediately, various miracle techniques resonating, with Yimu Essence, Earth Qi, etc., being guided to a near boil, lifting him several inches off the ground, as if flying through the air.

The moment he touched the ground, he executed the "Dragon and Snake Scripture," Dragon and Snake Power erupted, black and white light coiling around him. He soared like a dragon in the skies, gliding through the long expanse.

Upon landing, Qin Ming executed the "Immortal Butterfly Scripture," seemingly manifesting wings of light behind him, like a divine butterfly flapping its wings, transformed by the Heavenly Light, once more gliding far into the distance.

During this process, he continued pushing his speed to its limits.

Qin Ming was pondering the source of danger; could it be that woman was truly alive and, in discontent, would emerge to crush him now?

In the distance, a flame appeared, burning intensely, emitting Chixia, accompanied by a green light, rising rapidly from the depths of this Immortal dojo, speeding toward him.

"I hear a newcomer seeking rise trampled upon Senior Sister Chu’s sacred space and offended the Immortal visage. Without punishment, is there any hierarchy in our sect?" came a man’s voice from the flames.

There was no doubt, it was a light of Pure Yang Awareness, carrying an extremely terrifying fluctuation.

In an instant, he transformed into a youthful man cloaked in a blood-red fierce sun, enveloped in a green light, as if walking on azure clouds.

This divine scene prompted many ancient disciples to exclaim, "Senior Brother Zhao!"

"As a core disciple, Zhao Shuyu, you must not strike the inner sect disciples." A voice issued a warning.

The youth in the sky shook his head, saying, "A mere newcomer dares to act like a demon and must be punished. Even if slightly against the rules, I can bear it."

Qin Ming immediately understood; this was likely an adherent of Chu Pianran, ready to deal a dark blow even if it violated the ancient sect rules.

He dared not take the risk of staying because he entered in his true form, unsure if he could leave safely like Zheng Maoze and Zeng Yuan after being severely injured.

"Hmm, it’s actually a Power Warrior?!" Zhao Shuyu was closing in, the red sun shining with Chixia, riding on azure clouds, rapidly pursuing.

Qin Ming’s expression changed slightly; could this be another ancient person still living?

Otherwise, all ancient disciples were just actors, unable to perceive his situation.

"A master of the Third Realm!" After landing, Qin Ming executed the "Golden Cicada Scripture," within him, a cicada chirped, accompanied by a thunderous roar.

With a boom, although he did not fly off the ground, his speed once again surged forward.

Behind, Zhao Shuyu pointed his finger, the Pure Yang Light transformed into a long blade, slashing like lightning toward the figure ahead.

At the last moment, Qin Ming moved like a shadow traversing the Night Fog Sea, skimming his body across while once again elevating his speed, about to break through the fog-covered mountain gate.

Zhao Shuyu lightly scolded, seemingly using a spell, that Pure Yang Blade with numerous Immortal characters exploded, impacting the whole area ahead.

Qin Ming dodged quickly but was still struck by the flowing light, immediately coughing blood and being sent flying.

He was alarmed, the core disciples of the ancient Immortal Temple, after reaching the Third Realm, were astonishingly terrifying; even the aftermath injured him.

If faced head-on, he would have no hope of survival.

Who said immersion posed no danger? Joining such a mountain sect might lead to encounters with living core disciples; if Qin Ming had reacted a bit slower earlier, he would have been slain.

Once outside, he was unafraid.

In the distance, two elders arrived like gods or ghosts in an instant.

"What happened?" Yu Gen Sheng asked.

"I suspect living people within the dojo," Qin Ming quickly informed.

Zhao Shuyu clearly didn’t plan on giving up, forming another Pure Yang Blade, shooting like lightning, the blade light flying out the mountain gate, indirectly proving he wasn’t just an actor.

Zhao Ziyan reached out, flicking lightly, that several-meter-long blade shattered, turning into Pure Yang Spiritual Light and burning away, then dissipated completely.

Zhao Shuyu’s pupils contracted, retreating silently.

"Punishing a newcomer lightly as a deterrent." After departing, he said this, as if trying to appear more in line with the ancient character in the play?

"He’s concealing; that awareness light is real," Yu Gen Sheng said, watching his departing figure.

Zhao Ziyan said, "Back during the Kunleng upheaval, it turns out ancient people survived to this day. That’s interesting."

Qin Ming was pensive; just a moment’s hesitation and it would have been a dead end.

"We’ll stand guard nearby until you enter later!" Yu Gen Sheng said.

Having brought out some pill formulas from the Immortal Path to excite the two elders, and Qin Ming’s eagerness to verify some issues awaiting inside, they naturally fully supported him.

"Don’t get too engrossed in the immersion; it’s merely an almost real experience. Taoist cultivation and level can’t be brought out, and also beware of sudden appearances of living people."

"Mm, I know." Qin Ming nodded.

He was well aware that there were genuine Big Medicine, Exotic Treasures, and more inside; it was more than just a mere experience, but obtaining them largely depended on the living being area.

Qin Ming healed himself, and the harm inflicted by the living was no mere immersion but was brought into reality.

After a moment, he entered this mountain sect once again.

Soon, he heard a voice by his ear, informing him that he was now a quasi-core disciple.

To become a true core disciple, one must defeat someone like Zhao Shuyu and take their place.

"In ancient times, there probably wasn’t this notion of a Close Immortal Seed; core disciples might have been the highest rank, already established in the Third Realm. Forget it, it’s currently out of my reach."

Qin Ming was not deeply obsessed with this, as being a quasi-core disciple was sufficient.

Immediately after, he immersed himself and went to receive resources, discovering that the potions, food, clothing, and other essentials involved had increased in quality significantly.

He was followed by Power Warriors at his side, and other disciples became his followers. With a simple word, he could instruct these people to help carry out tasks.

Moreover, in this experience, if he concentrated on something, it was as if he could "turn pages," accelerating the process of a certain task, quickly passing days, months, or even years.

Qin Ming was astonished; this method of verifying skills and trial and error could yield invaluable experience, no wonder Immortal Path Disciples and Esoteric Disciples flocked here madly.

"I need various evil qi, spirit essence, abnormality, Nine Heavens Pure Qi, Outer World Items, and so forth." He made a request to the people serving him.

The quasi-core disciples now had the authority to mobilize some precious resources for their own use.

During Qin Ming’s first trial and error, he was rather casual, choosing to fuse the Earth Mother’s Essence, Netherworld Fire Evil, and Outer Heaven Pure Spirit Qi.

This process was exceedingly tough and excruciatingly time-consuming!

During this period, he "consumed" a large number of potions provided by the Immortal Temple, enhancing his spirituality, accumulating Taoist practices, and he mastered the Wind controlling Scripture, Netherworld Scripture, and Withered Scripture.

He continually "turned pages," speeding up the progression of this experience, and finally determined that he needed one to two years’ time.

Qin Ming was distracted; he was now a quasi-core disciple of the Immortal Temple, his resources fully loaded, yet moving from the early stage to the mid-stage of Outer Saint required this long?

If he were a Loose Cultivator, searching for divine materials himself, along with intensive cultivation and careful fusion, how long would it take?

No wonder Meng Xinghai sighed bitterly, a mere small step would take ten years!

"This definitely won’t do!" Qin Ming shook his head.

Subsequently, he inspected the Heavenly Light.

This time, the fusion of evil qi, spirit essence, etc., did indeed change the Heavenly Light, enhancing its power, but it was far from what he envisioned, not considered a qualitative change.

The dominance and power of his Heavenly Light now were because of the firm foundation he laid in the First Realm, stronger than even the Four Imperial Force.

The current change in Heavenly Light left him very disappointed!

He reflected, the highly destructive abnormality was unseen, and he barely practiced any health-nurturing scripture; overall, he did not do well enough.

Qin Ming said, "Bring those rarest, most bizarre abnormality and Outer World Items, I want to select them myself."

He felt choice was crucial; the evil, spirit, and such he used during the first fusion were too casual, to have the strongest Heavenly Light, some extremely dangerous things must be chosen.

Someone informed him, "Sorry, Senior Brother, your authority is insufficient; you cannot mobilize those invaluable abnormality, Outer World Items, and so forth."

Qin Ming was stunned; the level was insufficient!

He couldn’t help but ask, "What divine materials do we have in our treasure vault, what are their origins?"

"Not a small amount, some have fallen from the void, some are from the deepest part of Yewu World, some are the sole relic of the divine spirits, some are extracted from meteorites, oh, and there’s immortality resin from Kunleng local..."

Qin Ming, relying on instinct, felt that some things were rare in the world; if they could be fused, they could "nourish" the Heavenly Light Force to truly achieve a qualitative change.

But unfortunately, he couldn’t obtain them; they were accumulated by the Immortal Temple over long ages, and he was far from qualified to access them.

"Mm, immortality resin?" Qin Ming found it familiar, seemingly heard of it before.

"It’s the resin of the Immortal Tree, capable of bringing back flesh and bone from the dead. In case of great catastrophe, our Taoist can rely on it to preserve some ’fire seeds,’ it can ’freeze’ time, considered a form of elongated life."

Qin Ming immediately knew what it was, in the Temple of the Fourth Forbidden Land, that woman once offered him Incense Mist Tea.

The components contained in that incense mist were all priceless, including powders from the unicorn horn of the Purple Gold Divine Whale, Tears of the Firmament from the depths of Yewu World...

Among them, there was even the resin from the Immortal Tree of Kunleng Ruins.

In fact, what Qin Ming drank that day was not authentic Incense Mist Tea, but just incense ashes, yet it led him to a sudden realization, its effect less than one percent of the genuine product.

Now, upon hearing that the treasure vault of the Immortal Temple contained the resin of the Immortal Tree, his mouth practically watered excessively.

"Is there anything particularly bizarre that I can access?" Qin Ming asked.

Someone informed him, "There is Outer Heaven discard, destined to be thrown away and buried because it’s too dangerous; touching it might lead to death."

"Bring it over, I want to study it!" Qin Ming’s spirit was invigorated.

He knew very well that different proportions, different combinations, would yield entirely different Heavenly Lights, some dangerous things were precisely what he needed.

Throughout generations, the divine materials fed to the Heavenly Light were all undoubtedly strange and terrifying.

In fact, he felt once the Heavenly Light Force achieved ultimate transformation, all "external objects" should be discarded, "wash away the superficial" would be correct.

However, during the process, he must "scour the strange and hunt the weird" in the Yewu World, searching for unique forbidden items, life-extending spirit sources, etc.
