Chapter 435 - 260: Training Camp and Breaking Through

Chapter 435: Chapter 260: Training Camp and Breaking Through

The melodious sound of bells pierced the tranquility of the night sky, as a lightning bird rushed forward.

It was about a foot in length, with shining feathers that stood out in the darkness; true to its name, it resembled a golden lightning streak cutting through the clouds.

This is one of the fastest birds, ideally suited to deliver urgent messages.

It has already broken the sound barrier.

A pristine jade bell was tied to its leg, emanating gentle ripples, sending its "sound" into the hearts of the creatures along the way.

Clearly, this was an exotic treasure, capable of resonating with one’s spiritual field.

"Urgent, Jade Bell Communication!"

Many people were startled, looking up at the night sky.

In Yewu World, some "things" must not be meddled with.

Such as the lightning bird with a jade bell hanging on it.

It is said that such treasure bells are crafted by the ancestor masters themselves.

Messages are not conveyed this way unless under special circumstances.

Who dares intercept? If anyone dares to flout the rules, they will undoubtedly face repercussions.

A streak of golden radiance smoothly entered Kunling City, where all the divine crossbows atop the towers remained silent.

...

That night, Qin Ming received a message that there would be a joint training session tomorrow.

To be precise, he was merely an "accompanying reader," which could also be termed "escort training."

"You want me to go to training with the immortal seeds from the Outer World?" Qin Ming was displeased, as he was merely accompanying the others, not being specially trained himself.

In short, he, Xiang Yiwu, and several divine seeds from Esoteric Buddhism were just sparring partners, instead of being one of the main characters to be trained.

Yu Gen Sheng smiled and said, "Don’t worry, the Immortal Road will provide a portion of Auspicious Beast Blood as compensation."

"This... can be negotiated." Qin Ming’s tone softened, appearing quite "reasonable," his bottom line noticeably relaxed.

In fact, one portion of Auspicious Beast Blood was sufficient for him, but this treasure medicine was considered a rare hard currency, much more useful than Day Gold; who wouldn’t want more?

Moreover, he intended to give some to others.

"What else do you want?" Yu Gen Sheng asked him.

The main reason was, this time the ancestor master of Newborn Road nodded in agreement.

Without a doubt, the Immortal Path ancestor master had communicated with the higher-ups from other paths.

This made Qin Ming suspicious and curious, wondering what had happened to require training for the seeds of the Immortal Path.

"I’d like to take a look at the ’Fighting Immortal Scripture,’ if that’s not possible, then send me the complete ’Eight Jing Divine Illumination Scripture.’ Hmm, and also give me some legendary Outer Heaven Mysterious Material, that would be ideal." Qin Ming brazenly made his demands.

Yu Gen Sheng marveled at how straightforward the kid’s demands were; they were simple and not fussy, but each demand was pointed.

"I guess they won’t agree, like that ’Fighting Immortal Scripture’ which has been altered and already melded with parts of the Immortal Path’s scripture meaning."

Sure enough, after Yu Gen Sheng’s feedback, the other side was somewhat displeased, saying it was merely simple sparring, and one portion of Auspicious Beast Blood was enough to show sincerity.

But finally, after much consideration, they acknowledged Qin Ming’s impressive performance in the Second Realm and reluctantly agreed to one more request.

Yu Gen Sheng said, "They want you to choose: either wait until you reach the Third Realm, and then let you study the ’Eight Jing Divine Illumination Scripture,’ or after this event, inform you of a mysterious cursed land that meets your request."

Zhao Ziyan frowned and said, "The former is a Secret Scripture, currently a solitary piece, held by the Immortal Soil, hard to comprehend without reaching the Spirit Field Realm."

They’re banking on Qin Ming’s youth keeping him from reaching the Third Realm, reserving the scripture for future viewing, which naturally adds a variable.

Moreover, the Outer World offers a cursed land but did not promise he would obtain the legendary Outer Heaven Mysterious Material.

It was evident that the Immortal Path people agreed very begrudgingly.

"No rush to decide." Qin Ming said.

He agreed to "escort training," but wouldn’t participate on a thunderstorm day, publicly declaring his intent to study Thunder Fire-related secret manuals.

He didn’t want to waste time and hoped to quickly refine the Yin Yang Fish.

"Is this looking down on me? Why not call me over!" Wu Yaizu was dissatisfied, wanting to earn hard currency too.

Zhao Ziyan nodded and said, "Indeed, let me inquire for you, getting Auspicious Beast Blood is worth it."

Qin Ming faced several thunderstorms, but unfortunately, none lasted long, allowing him only a warm-up.

During this time, he had already practiced the ’Ba Jing Jing’ nearly to completion.

In the days to come, he was destined to be incredibly busy, as his schedule was tightly packed.

The next day, Qin Ming was invited to the Flying Immortal Academy; the timing seemed quite urgent.

Xiao Wu also accompanied him after they agreed; after all, his performance in hunting demons on the highland was also remarkable.

"What is the situation? The Immortal Path people are in such a rush to train all the Close Immortal Seeds?"

Many were immensely curious, wanting to know the reason.

Last night, the urgent Jade Bell Message had already shaken many factions.

At the Flying Immortal Academy, the No.1 Martial Arts Arena was fully closed off, not allowing other disciples to use or approach it.

The four seeds of Esoteric Buddhism wore masks and temporarily altered their bodily states to make it difficult to discern their identities; they too were sparring partners.

After all, this time they were to spar with the immortal seeds, and winning or losing concerned face; none of the four wanted to reveal their true selves.

Here, the place hosted six Close Immortal Seeds, all in the Second Realm.

Qin Ming had long guessed that Jiang Ran, Cui Chonghe, and others would certainly not be looking to sharpen themselves against those in lower realms.

"It seems, the ancestral courts of Pure Land, Immortal Soil, Yang Soil, and Evil Land watch over the Second Realm Close Immortal Seeds, showing how formidable the foundation of the Outer World is!"

"Brother, over here!" Xiang Yiwu chuckled, waving at Qin Ming.

He had such a stout physique that, not to mention other areas, his head alone nearly topped two others, rendering the mask pointless.

On the Newborn Road, it was just the two of them, Qin Ming naturally had to appear in his true form.

"We’re all our people." Qin Ming, Xiao Wu, and the Abandoned Disciple of Tathagata began conversing together.

Xiang Yiwu said, "I just learned some information; they say it’s related to a communication deep within Yewu World."

In recent years, all paths have been actively sending people to explore the depths of the world under the long night; recently, the Immortal Path seems to have received significant "feedback."

This time, all immortal seeds must undergo training, and higher realm individuals like Su Shiyun and Xue Yunzheng naturally require higher level honing.

"Even Jiang Ran, the foremost among their peers in Immortal Soil, must participate in the training without exception, which shows how much the Outer World values this matter."

The martial arts arena is very spacious, the ground paved with copper bricks, engraved with fine textures, allowing one to test their limits without fear of gouging through.

All six immortal seeds wear masks, their names fairly straightforward, Jia Yi, Jia Er...

If they lose to the sparring partners, they feel it would be disgraceful.

Actually, losing is normal, as the sparring partners are very strong, including divine seeds from Esoteric Buddhism and disciples of Tathagata, and also Qin Ming, none of whom are easy opponents.

Qin Ming suspects that Jia Liu is Li Qingxu.

Without using the Newborn’s Eye, he instinctively perceives it.

Li Qingxu looks at the opponents, somewhat silent, wanting to lament, are all his nemeses present here?

He has endured Xiang Yiwu’s big slap, been swept away by Wu Yaizu’s divine rainbow, and was hammered by Qin Ming, nearly cleaved by the Five Colored Blade.

In particular, he has considerable enmity with Qin Ming.

"Jia Liu, you go first." Jia Yi spoke.

Subsequently, Li Qingxu was hammered by three nemeses in three consecutive matches!

He said nothing, silently stepping aside.

For a moment, the scene was somewhat quiet.

Who is the sparring partner after all? If they didn’t wear masks, surely someone’s face would look quite different.

"Jia Wu, it’s your turn." Jia Yi spoke again.

Upon clashing, Qin Ming knew who Jia Wu was, Sun Jingxiao from Pure Land.

He spared no courtesy, using him to hone his Miracle Technique.

Qin Ming operated the "Golden Cicada Scripture", immediately the cicada’s chirping like silk strands, though subtle, continued endlessly, and the Zen meaning remained unextinguished.

Outside his body, fine rain like silk, cicada wings like swords, Golden Cicada Power endlessly beat Sun Jingxiao, leaving him disheveled and bloodied.

Sun Jingxiao had once sneered, saying a virtual defeat is not a defeat, Qin Ming on the Newborn Road was only a transient scene Li Qingxu encountered on his Immortal Road, an insignificant passerby.

Yet when faced with the reality, being battered to the point of spitting bloody froth, he was unable to maintain his calm demeanor.

His gaze turned dark, activating his ultimate skill, and a light wheel appeared outside his body, ready to be unleashed.

However, Qin Ming’s Golden Cicada Power transformed again, cicada sound like thunder, Heavenly Light Force forming, a tangible golden cicada emerged, its radiance blazing, illuminating all directions.

With a thunderous roar, the golden cicada swept past, tearing apart the light wheel, sending Sun Jingxiao swirling away.

This immortal seed was instantly defeated, mask shattered on the ground, disheveled with half his body bloodied, looking grim before finally regaining composure.

Qin Ming was in high spirits, using the immortal seed to hone his Miracle Technique, feeling exceedingly well.

Afterwards, he fought a match with Jia San, who was much stronger.

Qin Ming felt he might be in the late stage of the Second Realm.

The two fought fiercely for a long time, finally separating, both holding back.

Qin Ming thought there was no need for a life-and-death struggle, after all, they were just sparring.

Xiang Yiwu grinned and said, "What problems did you encounter on the Immortal Road? You can invite us as reinforcements to back you up."

"The Ancestor Master has his own plans!" The opponent didn’t want to say much.

Jia Yi and Jia Er didn’t fight Qin Ming, only asked him to activate the Heavenly Light Force to burn their external consciousness spiritual light for brutal honing.

In that moment, the two were burned, their consciousness light twisted, the spiritual field shaking violently.

Upon retreat, they both had unusual looks.

The strongest two immortal seeds were shocked by Qin Ming’s Heavenly Light danger and felt that he held back to some extent.

"It’s raining, excuse me." Qin Ming heard thunder from afar, directly leaving the scene, this was pre-arranged, he couldn’t delay his training.

"To have such combat power at the early stage of the Second Realm is indeed strong, but unfortunately, solely relying on one’s own breakthroughs, the progress is very slow."

There were elder figures watching in the dark.

"Are you really planning to find reinforcements?" Another person spoke.

"Forget it, at the early stage of the Second Realm there is no use, and inviting young disciples from the Newborn Road would be a disgrace, don’t even think about it unless absolutely necessary!"

...

This time, the thunderstorm was extraordinarily fierce.

In the night sky, lightning struck one after another.

In the high tower of Shanhai Academy, Qin Ming sat cross-legged, enveloped by Outer Heaven Light, extremely dazzling.

At this moment, he practiced the "Ba Jing Jing" to Great Success, officially putting it to use.

At Secret Scripture Level, Divine Light Scripture, ultimately capable of lighting one lamp, thunder fire connecting heaven, illuminating body and consciousness, able to burn and baptize oneself, if withstand, surpassing ordinary Cleansing the body meaning.

And Miracle Level "Ba Jing Jing", having its own unique aspects, profound and infinite.

Qin Ming perceives the true essence, forming an Eight Trigrams Furnace in his chest and abdomen, inner refining with thunder fire and world fire, immediately making the furnace’s body radiate multicolored rays.

Not long afterwards, he merged Ba Jing technique into Unity.

Finally, Qin Ming used the Silk Scripture Meaning to control all laws and reconstructed a shining Eight Trigrams Furnace, refining a glittering Golden Core.

Then, the Golden Core changed color.

In an instant, it transformed into a black and white core.

Even the furnace body split into yin and yang colors.

Because, at this time Qin Ming proceeded to risk refining black and white double fishes.

They are linked head to tail, forming a black and white Tao diagram, mysterious beyond bounds.

This is a furnace of Yin Yang Great Medicine, concerning Qin Ming’s Heavenly Light’s transformation and breakthrough in realms!

In the night sky, dark clouds were thick, heavy rain poured, violent thunder like a waterfall!

Dense lightning seemed to pour down, about to engulf the high tower.

And in the tower, Qin Ming was also covered by a large amount of Outer Heaven Light, the Yin Yang Diagram rotated, a furnace of Heavenly Light Great Medicine was emitting a fragrance!
