Night Without End

Chapter 1424 - 594: Why Blame Me? (3)

Because, some people were malicious back then, worried about being settled.

"It’s unlikely, right? We haven’t provoked him these past two years."

Cui Chongxiao found it difficult to accept; if this continued, don’t mention combat strength, even in terms of realms, the double dragons of the Cui Family would be surpassed by that abandoned one.

He muttered to himself, "How is it possible? How strong his constitution and spirit must be to break through to the Fourth Realm in six years? In between, he must have broken the ’Iron Law’ on the path of cultivation."

In the world, there is an iron law that even if a person is extraordinarily talented and has various treasure medicines provided, they cannot break through more than the Five Layers of Heaven in one year.

Only very few anomalies can cross the red line and move forward.

The human body has its limits; after multiple breakthroughs, it requires buffering and clearing out some toxins carried by treasure medicines.

Moreover, this "Five Realms Iron Law" was primarily written for the First Great Realm; as one progresses to the later stages, it becomes increasingly challenging and difficult to surpass.

The old Grandmaster of the Cui Family spoke, "It’s said that back in the day, Qin Ming dug up an ’Empty Spirit Bamboo Shoot’ on Black and White Mountain, which helped him break the Five Realms Iron Law, giving him ample buffer time in the first great realm, allowing him to rise rapidly."

Cui Chonghe’s father, Cui Qi, spoke, "A miracle medicine that can break the iron law is rare and elusive; later, did he consume it again? Even the top Big Medicine contains toxins; if he consistently uses miracle medicine to break through, his subsequent cultivation would slow down."

"Long-term medication will accumulate toxins; to remove them without harm, only Thunder Fire can cleanse, known in ancient times as Crossing Tribulation. I’ve heard he enjoys sitting in Thunder Fire Refining Hall, which makes sense."

In fact, not only the Cui Family is studying Qin Ming’s past, but other organizations are also carefully examining investigation reports.

Within a vast mountain sect, the Extreme Fire Spring dazzles, a woman gazes into the distance, muttering, "Fortunately, this great era is cruel, the old monsters are ineffective, and you are cautious. Probably you’ve concealed one great realm, right? Or else catastrophe would be imminent."

Then, she took a step and reached the horizon’s end, her voice reverberating through the clouds, saying, "I come to see you personally."

...

Above the Nine Heavens, in the Heavenly Venerate Lu Family, Lu Jingli felt rebellious pressure, saying, "There are countless geniuses in the world, why do you always mention Qin Ming?"

An elder said, "How many are equally brilliant?"

Lu Jingli defiant, said, "Like Zheng Guang—Master Zhi Shan, far stronger than him!"

The elder strongman of the Cui Family reprimanded, "Wake up, that’s someone who can compete with the Great Grandmaster, regardless if he can prevail or not, he can already sit at the same table as me. Even if you pursue, you won’t match, do you want to become a concubine or maid? Our Lu Family can’t afford that disgrace!"

That day, far in Shuangshu Village, Qin Ming received several letters, some wanted to visit, others invited him to the Da Yu Imperial City for a gathering.

"Who are you guys? Don’t know any of you!"

Qin Ming casually flicked some papers into fragments, including handwritten letters from Lu Jingli, a Grandmaster of Thunder Marsh Palace, and a legitimate daughter of the Huang Family.

That day, in the outer region of Black and White Mountain, a woman stood still in the clouds, ultimately not venturing forth in true form, but part of her Light of the Soul detached, traveling divinely toward Shuangshu Village.

In the village, Qin Ming suddenly raised his head, sensing an unusual qi mechanism in the night fog outside the village, causing his body to tense; could a top-tier strongman be visiting?

In this era, the old folks find it hard to move around casually, yet someone triggered his alertness, astonishing indeed.

He walked to the village entrance, immediately seeing a hazy full moon within which a slender figure stood quietly looking his way.

Afterward, the woman’s figure dimmed, extinguished, until nearly invisible.

Clearly, the other party intentionally startled him to draw him out for a meeting, having initially arrived quietly.

"I don’t want to provoke associations with observant people, let’s meet discreetly." The woman communicated.

"Okay, please come to my yard." Qin Ming spoke.

The woman glanced toward the depths of Black and White Mountain with caution.

"No worries." Qin Ming said, leading the way.

He entered a moment of Spiritual Clarity, yet no danger warning occurred.

A moment later, the yard was filled with lingering tea aroma.

The woman was in a state where Heavenly Light mixed with Pure Yang Consciousness, unable to drink tea, merely lifted the cup for a smell, she said, "You’ve reached the Fifth Realm?"

Qin Ming sat quietly, calmly looking at her.

Nonetheless, ripples emerged in his heart, who is this person? She actually perceives his true realm.

"Why does senior speak thus? For what purpose?"

The woman’s appearance was elegant, not exceptionally beautiful but with vivid charm, especially bright eyes, unforgettable at a glance.

Qin Ming confirmed he hadn’t seen her before.

"My name is Xie Yunshu, from the Yuqing Sect." The woman got straight to the point, no longer concealing.

Then she added, "When you visit the Six Imperial Ancestor Court, you must have obtained the two True Scriptures Lu Zizai left for you, right?"

Qin Ming abruptly sat upright, this woman knows these things!

Xie Yunshu said, "Actually, you don’t need to rush too much. After all, the Sixth Realm in Newborn Road—Mixed Element—is the proper time to merge various skills. Even if you’re phenomenally talented, it’s inadvisable to prematurely integrate all the Newborn system’s texts into Unity, or otherwise, it’ll explode."

"Senior, you are?" Qin Ming pondered, does Yuqing Sect have someone named Xie Yunshu? He hadn’t heard of her.

Xie Yunshu candidly said, "I’m Lu Zizai’s fiancée."

"Ah, sister-in-law?" Qin Ming immediately stood up, through resonance, he sensed the other was truthful.

However, earlier when he attempted to resonate further, he failed; her mind was without ripples.
