Chapter 674: Chapter 360: Earth Immortal Passing Through
It reformed into a phantom bud, blooming against the wind and snow, which seemed quite unbelievable.
The Heavenly Light of the Little Tathagata was truly undying, taking on immortal characteristics!
The lotus swayed and rushed towards Qin Ming at high speed.
Gu Xicheng stepped forward, intending to intercept.
However, Qin Ming acted himself, gently pinching the phantom lotus with two fingers, appreciating it like an ordinary flower, his steps uninterrupted, moving forward.
This scene stunned many people.
Even if the lotus was formed from resonance, Qin Ming’s nonchalance, holding it in his hand, appeared extraordinarily extraordinary!
At this moment, even the most innocent minds could see that these people from Pu Gong’s side, seemingly wielding swords against Qin Ming, were actually targeting the present Tathagata Lineage.
There was no doubt that after the return of the Past Tathagata, singling out the Little Tathagata as a candidate was essentially a power grab.
Within the Tathagata Sect, there had been extreme unrest and intense power struggles recently.
The members of other paths remained silent; after all, they too had faced similar issues. Whether it was the Esoteric Buddhism or the Immortal Road, extremely elder “Supreme Emperors” had returned.
For instance, the senior uncle of Helian Chengyun, who was already a formidable figure five hundred years ago, was originally sent out to explore and seek a path.
Now, returning to Ye State, self-assured of his hard-earned merits, he wished to claim the leadership of the Pure Land in the Immortal Road, causing severe headaches for all parties involved.
As Qin Ming appreciated the flower, he walked through the snow, shaking Xie Zhaohe and the female disciple backward, causing them to stagger severely. Both spat blood uncontrollably and then fell to the snowy ground.
From start to finish, Qin Ming hadn’t truly acted, solely relying on the outwardly radiating Golden Crow covering Heavenly Light to suppress the two like little chicks.
He naturally understood the intention of the Little Tathagata watching the disciples fall, seeing him and Xiang Yiwu walking closely, supporting the present Tathagata Lineage, wanting to start with him.
The other side was well aware of his close relationship with the present Tathagata Lineage, yet still urged him to meet the Past Tathagata.
Qin Ming certainly wouldn’t indulge them; they wrongfully chose him as a focal point!
With a flick of his finger, the lotus in his hand shattered like a dream illusion, and without glancing at the young man and woman on the ground, he walked past them in the snow.
In truth, the atmosphere on site was very tense because, among those returning from Pu Gong, there was a Grandmaster who had mastered the Chaos Force, with terrifying beams flowing across his body.
A top Great Grandmaster appeared silently, the first disciple of the present Tathagata, personally blocking this person.
Otherwise, after the appearance of this Old Grandmaster from the Past Tathagata Lineage, perhaps no one could have really matched him.
All parties were on edge, considering those who mastered the Chaos Force as exceedingly terrifying, able to overthrow higher-level strongmen at any moment.
Fortunately, they have a tendency to explode easily and reluctantly made a move!
Just like now, after a brief standoff between the Grandmaster of Chaos Force and the first disciple of the Tathagata, he withdrew the Heavenly Light and vanished into the snow without a trace.
“A turbulent autumn.” Someone sighed quietly.
The complex situation within the Tathagata Sect was definitely not unique to Ye State.
Soon after, the three Ancestor Masters guarding the Jinguang Cave manifested, warning everyone not to cause trouble here.
The new explorers were all confined within the manor, informed that they wouldn’t access the New World for the time being.
The group of experts from Pu Gong was quite disappointed, expressing dissatisfaction secretly but found no solution, as this was not targeted solely at them.
…
Booming!
In the wind and snow, up in the pitch-black night sky, heavy clouds collided, surprisingly revealing lightning that tore through the darkness.
Many people were bewildered, discovering that it was actually winter thunder, a relatively rare phenomenon.
Moreover, it wasn’t just a flash or two, it continued incessantly. As the night fog erupted and the dark clouds roiled, massive serpents of lightning coursed through, as if the firmament had been pierced and torn apart.
Inside the manor, Qin Ming was a bit restless, eager to ascend.
Whenever there was a thunderstorm, it invariably connected to the Heavenly Light in the Void; he desired to travel divinely upward, but the various mix within this manor was rather unsettling.
Qin Ming spotted Xiang Yiwu, who was sprinting near Gu Xicheng, yelling, “Elder, the thunder’s here, it’s time for the Heavenly Light to temper the soul.”
“You want to travel divinely, head to the upper clouds?” Qin Ming inquired.
Xiang Yiwu nodded, knowing one’s own situation. Because of his unique constitution, known as the Golden Cicada, he oscillated between life and death, reincarnating in the present world with his living body, cycling every few years.
“You also want to ascend?” He revealed surprise.
Qin Ming felt unsettled internally. The Newborn Road differed from other paths, typically blocking divine travel at this realm!
No wonder Xiang Yiwu once mentioned that his living mission was to expand the road for a new life system.
Qin Ming said, “Let’s go together then!”
Xiang Yiwu nodded, saying, “I’ll find an elder to protect us!”
Internally turbulent, upon entering the Third Realm, he experienced rebirth nirvana once again in the Seven Treasures Pool of the Tathagata Sect, resulting in such an extraordinary foundation.
Standing before him, this brother relied solely on brute force to push forward.
Xiao Wu also came upon hearing the news. He walked the Rainbow Transformation Path, where his spirit and body coalesced into a divine rainbow, capable of detachment from flesh even in the First Realm.
Gu Xicheng arrived, leading the three to ascend divinely. Naturally, they took a distant route, avoiding rising directly through the thunderous clouds.
On the clouds, the sky was no longer pitch black, as countless Heavenly Lights, divine substances of various colors, were attracted there.
More distantly, other figures were visible, such as Jiang Ran, Pei Shuyan, Xie Lin, among others, all standing in the Fourth Realm, where the sky was not dark anymore because of the influx of numerous Heavenly Lights.
After a moment, someone noticed something unusual.
Qin Ming was truly not picky, absorbing all Heavenly Light he encountered along the way and guiding it inward.
At such a crucial time, those daring to ascend above the night sky were certainly extraordinary figures, with elevated status. At this point, they all noticed something was off.
Qin Ming, realizing something, quickly spat, aaaah, spitting out the harmful Heavenly Lights he had inadvertently absorbed, trying to cover it up.
In the meantime, Xiao Wu also joined, running towards them. He referred to Xiang Yiwu as the Elder, exclaiming, “Elder, the thunder is here; it’s time for the Heavenly Light to temper the soul.”
The journey upwards was profoundly unstable, and while Qin Ming understood its significance, ascending in his current state to realms without additional Big Medicine or unique terrains to aid his cultivation would be quite crucial.
In the end, he returned fully loaded, letting out a satisfied sigh, carrying away a concentration of radiant otherworldly substances, having swallowed an array of glowing extramundane materials during the celestial journey.
Finally, there emerged a terrifying Spirit Field expansion around him, with its range noticeably enlarged, and the Spirit Field Wave was nearly materializing.
Qin Ming was feeling uneasy deep down. The Newborn Road differed from other roads; at this realm, it was usually impossible to traverse the divine travel on one’s own!
It’s a good thing that those who have mastered the Chaos Force are easy to explode and won’t make a move lightly!
Just like now, after a brief confrontation between the Grandmaster who mastered the Chaos Force and the first disciple of the Tathagata, they restrained their Heavenly Light and silently vanished into the snow.
“Autumn of trouble.” Someone softly sighed.
The complex situation within the Tathagata Sect was not unique to Ye State.
Subsequently, the three Ancestor Masters watching over Jinguang Cave appeared and warned everyone not to cause any trouble here.
The newly arrived explorers were all confined within the estate, informed that they could not enter the New World any time soon.
The group of experts from Pu Gong was very disappointed, expressing some discontent privately but were helpless, as this was not exclusive to them.
In the darkness, above the windy and snowy night sky, heavy clouds collided, and lightning appeared, tearing through the darkness.
Many were astonished to find it to be winter thunder, a rare sight.
Moreover, it wasn’t just a flash or two, it continued uninterrupted, as the night fog exploded, the dark clouds churned, giant electric serpents writhed, making the heavenly dome appear pierced and shattered.
In the manor, Qin Ming was barely able to sit still, desiring to ascend to the sky.
During a thunderstorm, it was always possible to attract the Heavenly Light into the Void, and he wanted to undertake a Divine Journey, yet the atmosphere in the estate was chaotic and unsettling.
Qin Ming saw Xiang Yiwu running towards Gu Xicheng, shouting, “Elder, the thunder is here, it’s time for the Heavenly Light soul quenching.”
“Do you want to ascend?” Qin Ming asked.
Xiang Yiwu nodded, knowing about his unique body constitution that earned him the moniker of Golden Cicada, allowing him to linger between life and death and the cycles of samsara with his living body for several years.
In fact, the atmosphere was extremely tense, as among those returning from Pu Gong, there was also a Grandmaster who had mastered Chaos Force, with terrifying light beams flowing all over their body.
A top Great Grandmaster appeared wordlessly, the first disciple of the present Buddha, personally blocking this person.
Otherwise, the appearance of this old Grandmaster from the past Buddha Lineage might have indeed been uncheckable.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts; those who mastered the Chaos Force were too terrifying, capable of instantly countering stronger beings from higher realms.
It’s fortunate they easily explode and are usually reluctant to take action!
Just like now, after a brief standoff between the Chaos Force Grandmaster and the first disciple of Tathagata, the Heavenly Light was restrained and they silently vanished from the snow.
“A season of unrest.” Someone sighed softly to themselves.
The complex situation within the Tathagata Sect was by no means an exception in Ye State.
Subsequently, three Ancestor Masters guarding the Jinguang Cave appeared, warning everyone not to cause trouble there.
The new explorers were all confined in the manor, informed that access to the New World would not be available in the short term.
The group of experts from Pu Gong was very disappointed, quite dissatisfied privately, but there was nothing they could do, as this was not targeting only them.
…
Rumble!
In the snow-laden, pitch-black night sky, heavy clouds collided, lightning appeared, tearing apart the darkness.
Many people were stunned to discover it was winter thunder, a relatively rare phenomenon.
Moreover, it wasn’t just a flash or two of thunder, it continued nonstop, while the night fog exploded, the dark clouds roiled, and giant electric serpents moved around, the firmament seemed penetrated and torn apart.
Within the manor, Qin Ming grew restless, eager to ascend.
Since any thunderstorm could attract Heavenly Light into the Void, he longed for a Divine Journey upwards, but the uncertainty of this place made it unsettling.
Xiang Yiwu was sprinting to find Gu Xicheng, shouting, “Elder, the thunder’s here, it’s time to quench the soul with Heavenly Light!”
“Do you want to ascend too?” Qin Ming asked, feeling a turbulence within.
Being on the Newborn Road was different from others; at this realm, it normally wouldn’t be possible to achieve Divine Travel!
No wonder Xiang Yiwu walked closely with the Little Tathagata, standing by the present Buddha’s side, wanting to use him as a focus point.
But Qin Ming would certainly not accommodate them, they had chosen the wrong target to leverage!
He lightly flicked his finger, and the lotus in his hand shattered like an illusory bubble. Without even looking at the young pair on the ground, he stepped over them in the snow.
Truly, the tensions at the scene were incredibly high because, among those returning from Pu Gong, there was also a Grandmaster who had mastered the Chaos Force, with terrifying beams flowing all over his body.
A top Great Grandmaster appeared silently, the first disciple of the present Tathagata, personally blocking this person.
Otherwise, after this old Grandmaster from the Past Tathagata Lineage appeared, there might really be no one to balance against him.
All sides felt a chill, with those who had mastered the Chaos Force being too terrifying, capable of flouting stronger beings from higher realms on a whim.
Fortunately, they are prone to explode and are unwilling to act lightly!
Just like now, after a brief standoff with the first disciple of the Tathagata, the Grandmaster of Chaos Force reined in the heavenly light and vanished without a sound in the snow.
“A troublesome autumn.” Someone sighed privately.
The complex internal situation of the Tathagata Sect was undoubtedly not unique to Ye State.
Subsequently, the three Ancestor Masters guarding the Jinguang Cave manifested, warning everyone not to cause trouble at that place.
The newly arrived explorers were all restricted within the manor, informed that entering the New World was impossible in the short term.
The group of experts from Pu Gong was very disappointed and somewhat dissatisfied in private, yet they were helpless as it was not a measure targeted specifically at them.
…
Rumbling!
Amidst the snowstorm, the thick clouds clashed in the pitch-black night sky as lightning emerged, tearing through the darkness.
Many people were in awe, realizing it was winter thunder, a rare sight.
Moreover, the lightning was not just flashing once or twice but continued unabated, with the night fog exploding, the dark clouds swirling, massive electric serpents writhing, and the sky seemingly being pierced and torn apart.
In the manor, Qin Ming became restless, yearning to ascend the sky.
On any thunderstorm day, Heavenly Light could be drawn from the void, and he wished to undertake a Divine Journey upwards, but this estate was rather daunting.
Qin Ming saw Xiang Yiwu, the latter was sprinting, seeking Gu Xicheng, shouting, “Elder, the thunder is here, it’s time for the Heavenly Light to quench the soul.”
“Do you intend to ascend above the clouds?” Qin Ming asked.
Xiang Yiwu nodded, knowing his unique constitution was called the Golden Cicada, oscillating between life and death, reincarnating with a living body in this life, cycling every few years.
“Are you going up too?” He expressed surprise.
Qin Ming was internally unsettled; the Newborn Road differed from other paths, typically blocking divine travel at this realm!
No wonder Xiang Yiwu had mentioned that his life’s mission was to pave the way for a new birth system road.
“Then let’s go together!” Qin Ming proposed.
Xiang Yiwu nodded, agreeing, “I’ll find an elder to protect us!”
He was stirred inside, having entered the Third Realm and rebirthed in the Seven Treasures Pool of the Tathagata Sect, establishing an extraordinary foundation.
Yet before him, Qin Ming advanced purely on personal courage.
Hearing the news, Xiao Wu came running. He chose the Rainbow Transformation Path, condensing his spirit and body into a Divine Rainbow, capable of departing the flesh even at the First Realm.
Gu Xicheng arrived, leading the three of them to ascend divinely. Of course, they took a wide berth, never attempting to penetrate directly through the thundercloud.
Even Grandmasters dared not face the thunderfire directly between heaven and earth.
The four arrived above the thick clouds; today it was no longer pitch black, due to attracting a large amount of Heavenly Light and various mystic materials, etc.
Today’s deep night sky was quite lively; not only did they appear.
Not far away, the entire figure of the Little Tathagata shone brilliantly. He was in the Fourth Realm and had mastered Chaos Force, already wielding a Heavenly Light shield to carry his Spiritual Field, venturing afar detached.
At the moment, he sat cross-legged on a golden lotus, exhibiting great solemnity and extraordinary presence.
With each breath he took, some beneficial Heavenly Light, like “Blessings like the East Sea” and “Longevity like Nanshan,” merged into his Heavenly Light body.
His eyes suddenly opened, reflecting disbelief.
In reality, on the Newborn Road, even upon reaching the Fourth Realm, many peoples’ spiritual wills were unable to detach freely, only people as fierce as him could accomplish it unrestrictedly.
And across him were three young lads, merely in the Third Realm, how could they ascend to the sky?
Further away, other figures appeared, like Jiang Ran, Pei Shuyan, Xie Lin, and others, who were using various perilous substances in the sky to temper their Consciousness Spiritual Light, hoping to achieve full Pure Yang transformation and transform into the immortal.
Moments later, someone noticed an anomaly.
Qin Ming seemed utterly “non-discriminating” in his consumption, disregarding whether the Heavenly Light was “Purple Qi Comes from the East” extending life, or “Earthly Heaven Light” that sapped life force, he guided it all inward.
In such a situation, daring to ascend above the night sky naturally signaled that the individuals were extraordinary, with transcendent status, and they were all shocked by this.
Xiang Yiwu was flabbergasted, his brother’s Wild Technique was terrifyingly extreme!
Qin Ming realized what was happening, quickly spat out harmful Heavenly Light with a *pfft*, discreetly covering it up.
He flew away, preferring not to be scrutinized, further absorbing various radiant materials from this outer-world realm voraciously.
Ultimately, he returned fully laden, belching, carrying rich Heavenly Light, Flowing Fire, etc., back into his body. In just a brief quarter-hour, it sufficed for many days of hard work.
Around him, the terrifying Spirit Field expanded, its range clearly larger, nearly manifesting to the point where even normal people could perceive the Spirit Field Wave.
Qin Ming anticipated with great excitement the return of early spring and midsummer. Ascending to the heavens would be a crucial choice without other Big Medicine or special conditions aiding cultivation.
…
Half a month later, the entire Niu Ben City was engulfed in thick fog, while the manor outside was enveloped by raging winds and lightning, as if thrown into Hell by Great Magical Power out of nowhere.
Everyone felt a tremor in their hearts, Great Grandmasters included, almost all became blind, unable to see anything.
The world was like ink, plunged into dead silence.
“An Earth Immortal crossing the boundary!”
The three Ancestor Masters of this domain were all horrified, decisively scattering their Pure Yang Consciousness Radiance, not choosing to engage with such an overwhelmingly oppressive domain.
The formidable ground of the Minotaur Clan seemed to fall into the Netherworld, ice-cold and boundlessly dark; everything was silent, senses stripped from many, their consciousness frozen, unable to function.
Beside Jinguang Cave, a furious force was drawing power from the Extreme Fire Spring, accompanied by clanging sounds; an unfathomable presence was rapidly deploying there, expanding and reinforcing deep tunnels.
Soon, Jinguang Cave shook violently, rumbling incessantly, with terrifying pressure spreading, Earth Immortal light rising, until after a while, peace returned once more.
