Chapter 434: Chapter 259: All Is Ready

"Brother Ming, I reckon we’re not going to make it!" Xiao Wu whispered.

A bird’s call pierced the night sky.

The thick fog surged, and dark silhouettes loomed near the "Fish Pit."

Whether it was the pitch-black sky or the ground shrouded in Evil Qi, people were approaching from all directions.

A small group of renowned disciples, including Cui Chonghe, Jiang Ran, and Cheng Cheng, had previously come here to fish for Yin Yang Fish.

Moreover, there were indeed "tough goods" here; exotic abnormalities in the form of Golden Winged Great Rocs had soared upwards, illuminating the heavens, and even legendary Zixiao Fiends had been discovered.

Therefore, from time to time, people came to the core area of the Cursed Land hoping for luck.

But ordinarily, there shouldn’t be so many people here!

Qin Ming and Xiao Wu sensed a dozen people wandering nearby, their gazes as scorching as red-hot irons, intensely "burning."

Undoubtedly, since the two left Kunling City, "tails" had already appeared behind them.

No matter what reasons these people initially had, they were now captivated by the Yin Yang Fish, revealing greed in their eyes, unable to look away.

The legendary Yin Yang abnormality, despite being extremely dangerous, was also regarded as a rare miracle medicine.

It was something many people dreamed of!

"Among them are spies from various factions, as well as reckless desperados," Qin Ming said.

Someone couldn’t hold back anymore, their eyes blazing like fire, stepping out from the fog.

Appearing first was a man in a black robe, his entire body and face covered.

He seemed not young, his voice old and somewhat hoarse: "Child, you’ve suffered outside. Come back with Uncle Grandpa. No matter what, the Cui Family raised you; we are your closest people."

"Old bastard, who are you taking advantage of?" Xiao Wu immediately retorted fiercely.

It’s evident that the black-robed old man was eyeing the Yin Yang Great Medicine, feigning sentiment, claiming to be Uncle Grandpa, greedy and shameless, an absolute insult.

He looked at Xiao Wu, his gaze freezing cold, saying, "Shut up, this is the Cui family’s matter, an outsider like you shouldn’t meddle."

"Get lost!" Qin Ming stared at him, with only four words, simple and clear.

"How dare you speak to Uncle Grandpa like that?" The black-robed old man, eyes sinister, pressed closer through the fog.

Another person in gray appeared, saying, "Qin Ming, although you harbor resentment for being Chonghe’s substitute, we can understand. As long as you return, everything can be discussed."

In the distance amidst the fog, a middle-aged man from the Cui Family had a gloomy expression, wondering what sort of riffraff was posing as the Cui Family!

How deep of a grudge must there be for such slander.

He wanted to leap out and curse them for their shamelessness. However, doing so would expose his identity.

The middle-aged man’s gaze was icy cold, even if the Cui Family wanted to suppress that young man, they wouldn’t blatantly reveal themselves at such a crucial moment.

At this moment, a ghostly figure, without any words, lunged toward Qin Ming.

Someone made a move directly, obviously aiming for the Yin Yang Fish.

The black-robed and gray-clothed men were continuously closing in; now seeing someone intercepting, they no longer hid their intentions, swiftly charging forward.

This acted like a signal, and dozens of figures in the fog rushed forth, like sharks having smelled blood.

"Shameless, all these people want to snatch the Black and White Fish!" Xiao Wu’s face changed.

If it weren’t for the special fishing line given by the hut’s owner, Qin Ming wouldn’t have been able to catch the Yin Yang Great Medicine; now this group of people, upon seeing it, were green with envy.

Qin Ming engaged the Silk Scripture skill, using the Sticky Force to pull the Heibai Diagram from the Broken Cloth Space, draping it over his body.

Simultaneously, he bound the Yin Yang Fish with the fishing line to prevent any mishaps.

He immediately borrowed its power, even wishing to refine it on the spot.

The black-robed person was the first to reach him and immediately received a close-range blow.

With a slap, the tail of the black fish lashed across his face.

In fact, the black fish intended to escape, and in its struggle, inadvertently struck his face with its tail.

Qin Ming was taken aback, fully concentrating to activate the Heavenly Light Force.

In an instant, the Black and White Fish lit up vigorously, rapidly spinning.

Others arrived too, their eyes fervent, each making a move to seize the Yin Yang Great Medicine.

At this moment, the Heibai Diagram was different, as if it were burning.

"Ah..." The black-robed man’s extended right arm struck by the Yin Yang Fish, instantly severing and falling to the ground.

Qin Ming infused the Heavenly Light Force with full might; when merged with the Heibai Diagram, it emitted a terrifying aura, no longer a fish, but more like a naturally existing Heavenly Light Tao Map!

Using this, he charged into the crowd, and at that moment, several people were struck by the Black and White Light!

"Ah!" Several screams sounded, amputated hands burned on the ground, and some were cut in half at the waist.

There were also those in the form of Consciousness Spiritual Light, now half their bodies were ignited by the Black and White Light.

Those daring to follow were mostly in the Third Realm, immediately encountering such danger upon contact; everyone was horrified.

The Yin Yang abnormality from the Outer Heaven was terrifying once it erupted!

Qin Ming felt something was wrong, unable to control it; the Heibai Diagram was attempting to escape his grasp, even the fishing line was useless.

He quickly stored it back into the Broken Cloth Space.

In the night sky, Exotic Birds drew near, while on the ground, a dozen people hesitated no longer, swiftly charging toward the front.

"Qin, you’re excellent. Come to our Fangwai Heaven Pure Land and be a Power Warrior!" someone laughed.

Qin Ming thought this was mostly a setup, as the Pure Land people wouldn’t be so crude and simple.

"Qin Ming, join our Esoteric Buddhism as a Mountain Sect Guardian!" another person suggested.

Xiao Wu said, "This bunch of bastards, each and every one posing as others, while being impersonated themselves, no one is falsely accused; I guess they indeed belong to those factions!"

Suddenly, the howling wind roared like thunder.

In the thick fog, a gaunt figure appeared with a whirlwind, its head adorned with over a hundred strands of flying hair.

"Enough, since you all have made your move, I’ll send you on your way!"

Yu Gen Sheng moved like a phantom, arriving in the blink of an eye, his large sleeve sweeping as a booming sound erupted, and the few people at the front were instantly torn apart, severed limbs falling to the ground.

If he hadn’t intended to leave anyone alive, these people would have been shattered rather than just broken.

At the same time, in the night sky, Zhao Ziyan stood on the back of a high level Exotic Bird, breaking through the night and striking heavily.

Several Exotic Birds exploded, their owners screamed, accompanied by flying blood feathers, falling towards the ground.

"Senior, I didn’t make a move!" someone shouted.

"You followed us with malicious intent, dare you say you had no ill thoughts?" Yu Gen Sheng scolded.

Then, he waved his large sleeve again, delivering a finishing blow, blowing this person’s torso apart, but leaving them alive.

After Qin Ming’s identity was exposed, he left Kunling City for the first time to seek the evil needed to break through the realm, naturally needing to "report."

Yu Gen Sheng and Zhao Ziyan personally followed along, only the hut wasn’t entered, and they stayed in the vicinity otherwise.

If not, when Qin Ming discovered nearby people, he wouldn’t have calmly fished.

"Speak up, introduce yourselves!" Zhao Ziyan descended from the night sky.

Xiao Wu lifted up the heavily injured man in black robes, saying, "You old thing, who are you calling uncle? Old grandson, I’m your granddad!"

He went over and slapped the person several times, each slap landed on the face until teeth flew, and only then did he feel satisfied.

As Qin Ming predicted, there were death-defying desperados here, belonging to the Death Soldiers.

Because, some of their Spiritual Lights dissipated on the spot.

Those who hadn’t died were just hired pawns, sent to gather information, and the main line behind them had long been severed cleanly.

At this moment, Zhao Ziyan and Yu Gen Sheng struck ruthlessly, sweeping their large sleeves, distorting the force field, instantly blowing all these people apart, leaving no survivors.

"You actually caught a Yin Yang Fish in the cursed land, this is probably the best evil, Outer Heaven Mysterious Material left by the Immortal Great Sect of the past, it can’t be revealed for now!"

Therefore, the two old seniors heartlessly silenced this group.

Qin Ming pondered, if not for the Yin Yang Fish, this group might not have attacked him, after all, it’s a sensitive time, and the Ancestor Masters of Newborn Road had just defeated Cao Qianqiu.

He didn’t feel it was excessive to ask the two elders for help, cautiousness was needed at this point, it deserved special attention.

Qin Ming wasn’t overly worried about his own situation.

He had obtained the Yin Yang Great Medicine, his foundation was almost complete, as long as he refined it, and reached the Mid Stage of the Second Realm, he wouldn’t fear encountering such people again!

"Xiao Wu, do you want to try refining evil, and integrate the abnormality into the Rainbow Light in your body? I have Star Fire Essence here." Qin Ming asked.

He had a better option, Yin Yang balance, although Star Fire Essence was rare, it couldn’t compare to the former.

Xiao Wu shook his head, saying, "Forget it, I can’t bear that Fire Essence. Besides, all Heavenly Light substances are effective for Brother Ming, you should keep it for yourself."

...

In recent days, Ancestor Masters have often been preaching in Kunling.

It’s said that some Immortal Seeds and Divine Seeds have greatly benefited, vaguely some people are about to ascend another step.

Everything pales in comparison, even people from Newborn Road itself felt a sense of anxiety, comparatively, their path was too difficult, their progress too slow.

After Qin Ming returned from the "cursed land," he didn’t go to listen to Sun Taichu’s teachings, instead focusing on studying the Yin Yang Great Medicine, and quietly waiting for the thunderstorm to appear.

The essence of the Black and White Fish belonged to a rare category within the Heavenly Light, and now it has transformed, theoretically, it could be completely integrated by Qin Ming.

However, there’s a concern that the more powerful evil and abnormality, the greater the harm to oneself, even reducing longevity!

Therefore, Qin Ming was very cautious, constantly testing the integration.

The night sky brought a drizzling rain.

Shanhai Academy, Li Qingyue arrived, bringing two pieces of news.

After days of joint discussion among the Ancestor Masters, preparations for the Great Exploration were being made, to officially start within a few months to two years!

This will have a far-reaching impact, all the Ancestor Masters of various paths have been solemn lately, because in some way, this is a significant risky venture.

Every Great Exploration is akin to gambling on the fate of the "clan"!

Because no one knows exactly what opponents will be met once the exploration begins.

The Yewu World is vast and boundless, every region is mysterious, filled with the unknown and danger.

The last few explorations were thrilling but safe, ultimately reaping abundant rewards, every path had thriving talents and became increasingly prosperous!

Qin Ming was also somewhat worried, deep in the Yewu, five hundred years ago, there emerged those who achieved seven-day round perfection, luckily they were human.

If there were non-human species, whose upper tier could rival the Divine, establishing a vast and mysterious nation, once encountered, it would be a major problem.

"Jiang Ran has arrived," Li Qingyue informed with a smile.

The top individual of the same generation in the Fangwai Immortal Land, arrived in Kunling City.

Moreover, Li Qingyue had already met her and successfully exchanged for the "Ba Jing Jing."

Qin Ming was overjoyed, saying, "Qingyue, let’s not mention thanks between us!"

"Ba Jing Jing" involves Inner Refining and the Thunder Fire domain, it’s crucial for the path he needs to take.

Now everything was ready, Qin Ming felt he could use the Thunder Fire to refine the Yin Yang Great Medicine, he faced no more obstacles in breaking through.

Many were discussing behind his back, saying that even with his supreme talent, by the time he reached the Third Realm, he certainly would no longer be young.

Qin Ming was not one to accept fate, the path he planned now was set to change some established norms.

In the next two days, Qin Ming studied the "Ba Jing Jing," researched the Yin Yang Fish, and adjusted himself to the best state.

Then, he looked up at the sky, waiting for the thunderstorm to arrive!
