Chapter 430: Chapter 257: Like a Young Heavenly God

"Escaping from Yujing was truly difficult..." Qin Ming stood silently for a long time, the last sentence made him lost in thought.

"Is he a high-level God Being, maybe an Earth Immortal, or even a Heavenly Immortal?" Xiao Wu was also shocked.

The two were unsettled, the notes on the old wooden table were scattered, but contained astounding information.

An Old God or Ancient Immortal of very high level, yet in the vast night sky, still like a kite with a broken string, returns at the risk of death to seek the initial path and restore the original form.

Qin Ming seriously suspected that the owner of the cottage was related to the beings recorded in "Kunleng’s Divine Record".

This means that the legend of "escaping" has come into reality!

...

"Woo..."

The sound of the wind cut through the night sky, like someone was crying.

Qin Ming and Xiao Wu stood behind the cottage, feeling as if they had arrived in another world.

Earlier, thick fog covered the cursed land, which was dead silent.

But right in front, a black whirlwind roared, carrying dust and sand, stinging human faces.

Just a wall apart, yet two different scenes.

Before them, the earth cracked and exposed rocks testified to the desolation of this place, with no grass growing.

In the wailing sound, dimly visible, human-face-like black shadows followed the swirling storm, like many black hairs floating in the yellow sand.

This was not an illusion but a real scene.

A black wind hit them, Qin Ming and Xiao Wu both tensed their bodies.

At this moment, black hairs brushed past, piercing their skin like needles.

A protective Heavenly Light and Rainbow Light rose outside their bodies, making a clanging sound with sparks flying.

Xiao Wu’s hair stood on end, saying: "What kind of ghost place is this? It’s blowing black hair whirlwinds, like evil ghosts passing through."

If ordinary people came here, then a sweep of black wind would pierce their bodies, how could they survive?

What did the local owner leave behind? Qin Ming searched behind the cottage, but to no avail.

Afterwards, the two expanded their search, heading into the depths of the stormy sandy land, with the towering shadow ahead as their primary target.

In this barren land, it was the only mountain visible.

"Are there evil ghosts in the wind?" Xiao Wu was alarmed, the wind carried black hairs, with ghostly shadows looming—it was indeed sinister, especially as the wind sounded like ghostly weeping.

Though there were obstacles along the way, the two successfully climbed the mountain.

This was a tall mountain, lifeless, its body cracked, with occasional rocks blown up by the wind rolling down, rumbling.

There indeed were "things" on the mountain top, a wooden fence in the wind and sand remained intact, preserved perfectly.

It looked like a small mountain village.

Qin Ming and Xiao Wu pushed open the fence gate, upon entering, the wind sound softened, the dust stopped, completely different inside the fence.

There was a Crystal Man here, entirely pure, with not a single flaw, similar in height to a normal person.

A group of light was in its abdomen, instantly igniting as the two arrived, spreading towards its limbs.

The Crystal Man glowed all over, different nodes were densely connected by Silver Threads, as if it had gained life, that group of light seemed to be its "Spiritual Field".

Its eyes lit up, and instantly, spiritual imprints emerged—it was the cottage owner’s message to later arrivals.

Soon, Qin Ming and Xiao Wu knew what was happening.

The local owner left behind some things, but ordinary people couldn’t handle them, requiring a "spiritual examination".

Simply put, one must subdue the Crystal Man on the mountain to gain anything.

Otherwise, if too weak, the obtained items wouldn’t be of use, purely wasteful.

Moreover, the spiritual imprint revealed there were four similar peaks.

In the past, the one lingering outside Yujing for seven days in great perfection brought along four disciples.

The cottage owner had interacted with them, based on their realm and strength, he envisioned the spiritual field of the four disciples reflected in the Crystal Man.

Clearly, the cottage owner wanted future generations to weigh the renowned disciples deep in Yewu World.

Undoubtedly, just based on the fact that their mentor was the one in great perfection, these four must be the best among their peers!

The cottage owner briefly mentioned that the four were relatively young in their respective stages, but didn’t disclose details to avoid disheartening later arrivals.

Wu Yaizu scoffed, saying: "This...isn’t that intentionally provoking later generations?"

Qin Ming felt that the cottage owner was primarily facilitating "examinations"; the gifts were secondary, meant to inspire and temper future arrivals.

After pondering, Xiao Wu concluded: "It seems those four disciples are extraordinary, the cottage owner wants later generations to see how frightening the beings deep in Yewu World are, and how profound it is?"

Meanwhile, they already realized through the Crystal Man that different stages would direct them to different peaks.

"Could these be the youngest disciples of the one in great perfection?"

"Just unknown, whether this person is in the early stage, mid stage, or late stage of the Second Realm?"

Qin Ming stepped forward, deciding to challenge the Crystal Man, to preliminarily gauge the outstanding individuals from a distant mysterious country in the Second Realm.

"Brother Ming, let me try first." Xiao Wu worried, if this person was in the great perfection stage, it could be very bad.

"No worries, at most, I’ll lose." Qin Ming shook his head, deciding to proceed personally.

He believed the cottage owner would have considered this, and not harm those with a good connection to him.

As the challenger approached, the Crystal Man assumed a stance.

In Qin Ming’s right hand, with a light clang, the Five Colored Blade appeared, no longer like a floating cloud now solidified.
