177: Chapter 113: Respect for the Opponent 177: Chapter 113: Respect for the Opponent The fringe trees ford forests, with petals pure and immaculate, hanging like tassels, cloud-like and snow-like, blooming magnificently, swaying in the wind.
Ren Yiping coughed up blood, encountering here the elite disciples who were dependent on him; they looked at each other in silence, for they all knew what had happened, driven out of the ga by the sa person.
They were now approaching the exit, their footsteps heavy, faintly hearing the lively discussions outside.
Outside the Luofu Immortal Mountain Ruins, so people wore smiles, while others were silent, all waiting for the final outco.
“The situation has beco very clear now, it’s ti to transform the advantage into victory, Ren Yiping, Luo Qingge, Jiang Shengyu…”
Hearing others ntion his na, Ren Yiping coughed up blood again, feeling he had let his sect down, as a loser, destined to be scrutinized with different eyes upon exiting.
Then he vomited blood continuously, his vision darkened, and he unexpectedly fell backward to the ground, several elite disciples rushed to help him.
“Are you sure you don’t want to send soone in to look for Li Qingyue?
It wouldn’t be pleasant if such a gifted core disciple unfortunately withers away.”
Soone spoke up, it was difficult to tell whether they wanted to genuinely save soone or if they had the malicious intent of raising such a controversial subject.
“To rescue now, if accused of not following rules and intervening, who will take responsibility?
Moreover, if soone attacks the disciples in secret after entering, wouldn’t the consequences be even more severe!”
“You really can’t appreciate good intentions, if she dies inside, it’s a loss for the Outer World.
The Great Expansion is inevitable, and a phenonal talent should shine brightly in the unknown depths of the Yewu World…”
So were silent, others sneered, thinking his words disingenuous, but they also considered that even so conservative ancient Taoist lineages were no longer secluding themselves, preparing for the upcoming era of massive expansion.
“Eh, soone is being carried out, could it be Li Qingyue?”
“How could it be…
Ren Yiping?!”
There was an uproar outside the ruins.
Soon after, there was silence because the developnt was completely different from what they had speculated.
An elite disciple reported that within the ruins, Li Qingyue was clearing out.
The words ‘Li Qingyue’ and ‘clearing out’ made those who earlier had smiles on their faces and were sowhat complacent, unable to remain calm and collected.
“Ha ha…” An old man found the expressions of the crowd quite amusing, laughing loudly regardless of others’ feelings.
One of Li Qingyue’s fellow disciples finally spoke up: “Should we go in to save people now?”
He well knew that his junior sister’s retreat was the Mountain and River Spirit Nest, and in theory, others shouldn’t be aware of its location, but he was slightly worried that so old seniors with deep knowledge might have seen so secret scrolls, and now he was completely reassured!
No one at the site responded; so feeling chest tightness, earlier celebrations “raising a toast” were overly premature!
At this mont, a figure shrouded in immortal fog mysteriously appeared, saying: “Li Qingyue did well, able to break out from the encirclent of the Five Core Disciples, and even able to return and clear out powerfully; if she could gain a Close Immortal Item, that would be even better!”
Everyone’s hearts were shaken; this seed to be an old senior from the Outer World, not fearing Li Qingxu’s teacher.
Li Qingyue and Qin Ming approached the final battlefield, crossing over beautiful mountains veiled in immortal fog, the core area now in front of them.
There was no vegetation here, the ground crystalline and faintly glowing, as if it had been waxed.
Upon close observation, Qin Ming realized what had happened.
In old tis from the Outer Heaven Light fell, sinking into the core area, that violent temperature had lted the land.
This place was once the main peak of Luofu Immortal Mountain, but now only a giant pit remained, with Heavenly Light flowing inside, which even after a thousand years, had not been exhausted.
The pit was enormously vast, like a heavenly rift lying there, with many remnants of mountains standing at the edge of the big pit, either broken or riddled with holes like a beehive, similarly emitting Heavenly Light.
“What a great place!” Qin Ming exclaid.
So Outer Disciples were already nearby, and upon hearing his comnt, glanced sideways, the main peak of Luofu Immortal Mountain was gone, and still soone said it was a great place?
Qin Ming eyed the remaining Outer Heaven Light with intense desire.
“Are you really up for this?” Li Qingyue looked at him, worried, after all, that was the fierce Heavenly Light, and even she was wary.
The Spiritual Light of Consciousness that outsiders cultivated, according to extrely ancient terms, was initially considered “Yin God,” most fearing erosion by Heavenly Light, needing to “Cross Tribulation,” or to be baptized with “immortal fire” to beco completely fearless.
Li Qingyue had ascended a small stair within the Mountain and River Spirit Nest this ti, almost reaching a crossroad, also needing to consider whether to “Cross Tribulation” or to bathe in “immortal fire.”
Of course, although there are such legends, most people from the Outer World do not recognize the term “Yin God.”
Because the ancient books dug out in the past could not be used for cultivation.
In those years, humans fiercely battled giant beasts and resisted incredibly tall unusual plants, and after securing their foothold in the Yewu World, they dug out so ancient scriptures, many of which were related to religion.
In days when there was the sun, those were considered ordinary religious writings.
But after being excavated, they inspired many in the Yewu World, and although not thods for cultivation, they eventually evolved into various inheritances.
The mythical and strange claims from the ancient tis were not accepted by the people of today.
Currently, no path has reached its end, still developing, and it’s also a kind of alternative “Great Exploration.”
“Everyone, the Heavenly Light remaining in the giant pit is still quite intense, charging down rashly will scorch our initially-ford Spiritual Light of Consciousness, damaging our foundation.
This surely wasn’t the intention of the seniors in the Outer World; they are testing us, probably wanting us to clear the Luofu Immortal Mountain Ruins with our own hands, drawing out the Heavenly Light, hoping to rebuild this place!
This requires our combined efforts.” Soone spoke up, suggesting cooperation.
Because this would be a “big project.”
But the majority remained silent, with their own considerations and plans.
“Don’t worry, not only can I withstand it, but I also plan to complete a rebirth here.” Qin Ming said, sowhat eager.
Li Qingyue was still worried and said: “Don’t rush, I’ll take a look around first.”
This ti she wasn’t planning to reveal her true power, ready to strike at any mont, intending to give so people a taste of bitterness.
For this reason, Qin Ming buried the Overlord Spear in the road to avoid drawing too much attention and revealing his and Li Qingyue’s identities.
Clad in the Golden Armor, Qin Ming also road around the gigantic Heavenly Pit, finding it hard to imagine just how fierce the Outer Heaven Light must have been in the past, not only wiping out the main peak of the Immortal Mountain but also carving out such a colossal “hole”.
He heard so discussions among the crowd; aside from the alliance of Core Disciples like Tang Xumi, Su Jingshu, Jiang Shengyu, and Luo Qingge, there were surprisingly two other contenders eligible to vie for the Close to Immortal Item.
One was Hu Tingwen, who was rumored to be in closed-door cultivation and did not arrive at Luofu Immortal Town.
Yet, after everyone entered the ruins, he made a last-minute appearance, just in ti.
There was also Sun Jingtian, who mingled among the elite disciples, but when conflicts arose, he revealed a strength capable of contending with Core Disciples.
Moreover, these two had already ford an alliance.
When Tang Xumi, Su Jingshu, Jiang Shengyu, and Luo Qingge learned of this, their faces darkened.
After they had collectively dealt with Li Qingyue, their alliance had already fractured.
They had not expected two more contenders lurking behind them, revealed only through an accident.
Having heard this, Qin Ming felt that these Disciples would resort to all sorts of sches for the sake of the Close to Immortal Item.
It was so ti later that Li Qingyue returned.
Given the vastness of the Heavenly Pit, with a somber expression, she used a Secret Technique to covertly transmit her voice, saying, “Using my Spiritual Eyes, I inadvertently captured a glimpse of Cui Chonghe’s Consciousness Spiritual Light.
He still has tricks up his sleeve.”
Qin Ming imdiately turned somber.
None of these Disciples were easy to deal with; soone thought to have been out of the ga was still lurking in the shadows.
He thought for a mont and asked, “Shall we expose him, or use him to our advantage?”
Li Qingyue spoke, “No one here knows I’m back.
Let’s wait and see what Cui Chonghe is up to.
He’d better eliminate so rivals for us.
If necessary, when the critical mont cos, I will stop him.”
“Can you handle him now?” asked Qin Ming.
“It shouldn’t be a problem.
He has only separated a portion of his Consciousness Spiritual Light, not all of it.
And, his current host body is not his own closely related younger brother, Cui Chongxuan, so the compatibility surely isn’t optimal.
Plus, I’ve made a breakthrough in the Mountain and River Spirit Nest, so I have no fear of him as he is now.”
Most critically, Li Qingyue was in the shadows, leaving Cui Chonghe exposed before her.
Qin Ming said, “There’s also Li Qingxu, who hasn’t left despite his injuries.
He might have sothing up his sleeve as well.”
…
The two split up, with Qin Ming ready to enter the Heavenly Pit for his sixth rebirth!
Li Qingyue, on the other hand, needed to keep a low profile, not wanting to attract anyone’s attention until the very last mont.
Qin Ming saw familiar faces like Wang Caiwei, Zheng Maoze, and Chen Bingyan, yet he didn’t approach them.
He found a secluded spot and slipped in quietly.
At the edge of the pit, deep as a large bowl, the Heavenly Light was very sparse, sothing many Newcors could tolerate.
After entering, Qin Ming saw so Golden Armor Guards occupying advantageous positions, carefully refining the thin Heavenly Light.
“Who is that?
They’re just barging in.”
“Could that be Jiang Congyun from the Chunyang Palace?
The Taoist lineage’s skill can shatter Consciousness Spiritual Light and integrate a certain amount of Outer Heaven Light.”
Descending further, as the Heavenly Light beca less sparse, Qin Ming began to feel the scorching heat.
He found several experts sitting quietly in ditation, working to incorporate the Heavenly Light into their flesh and blood.
These individuals couldn’t stay too long in this place; they’d need to swiftly return to the surface after only a mont.
From a distance, Qin Ming paid close attention to a few individuals.
He noticed soone practicing the Five Colored Thunder and Fire Power, rging with the Heavenly Light, making a rather grand impression with accompanying thunderous sounds.
Then he saw soone who looked like a Fierce Sun burning brightly, drawing in the Heavenly Light and integrating it with themselves.
Another figure emitted ape-like howls, their stature swelling imnsely as they pulsated with the Heavenly Light Power, seemingly trying to ignite themselves.
Their dark pupils astonishingly blazed with Golden Radiance.
Qin Ming realized that if he managed to snatch the Close to Immortal Item, these individuals could obstruct him for a while, as they showed strong resistance to the Heavenly Light.
“That must be an heir of the Five Elents Palace.” He saw a person sitting on a Black Gold Stone in the distance, where Five Colored Radiance circulated, actively refining the Heavenly Light.
“The heir to the Yuqing Power is indeed here!” Qin Ming grew serious as he saw a young man drawing in the light mist directly through his nostrils, consuming the Heavenly Light.
The young man’s entire body was crystal clear, like jade, enveloped by the Heavenly Light but unhard, composedly treating the violent light mist as food.
Qin Ming also took a breath, feeling a bit of heat and a tinge of pain.
He knew these individuals were all potential rivals; once the Close to Immortal Artifact was touched, everyone would rush at him, trying to stop him.
“I better just watch others attempt to pick it.” Qin Ming muttered to himself.
He planned to quietly enhance his strength here and face those individuals in his strongest form.
After delving another hundred ters deeper, his skin felt as if it were being scorched.
“It still doesn’t compare to the Heavenly Light in the Thunder Fire Alchemy Hall in terms of intensity, and the Spiritual content is much less as well.” Grinding his teeth, Qin Ming endured the pain and charged to the bottom.
He nearly scread out loud, sucking in a sharp breath and coughing fire from his mouth and nose; the Heavenly Light at the bottom was too ferocious, he hastily retreated.
The intensity of the Heavenly Light here was slightly less than that of the Thunder Fire Alchemy Hall, but the total amount far surpassed it, overwhelming him and proving almost too much to bear.
“Heavenly Light was everywhere, but the concentration of Spiritual Material was insufficient; it seed he was in for a rough ti, needing continual absorption.”
So it was, Qin Ming began his arduous path to rebirth, removing his guardian Golden Clothes and armor to fully embrace the Heavenly Light.
Repeatedly entering the bottom, he absorbed both the fierce Heavenly Light and the Spiritual Material.
To avoid alarming others, he couldn’t make too much noise, and this consud most of his day.
“The sixth rebirth has begun!” His body was heating up.
He started practicing the Yin Earth Power and Yang Soil Power, evolving into the Wuji Strength.
If he could completely integrate the third Miracle Technique, it would significantly enhance his strength.
“The Heavenly Light is everywhere here, not just suitable for Wuji Fist, but perhaps the Lihuo Scripture and the Golden Silkworm Technique can also transform further in this place!” Qin Ming continuously practiced the skills, sensing his own changes, his thirst for strength growing.
It was a sign of respect towards his opponents.
