Chapter 1020: Chapter 726: Congratulations

On Little Turtle Peak.

After Qin Ming broke through to the Void Refining realm, he dealt with the trouble outside, gave instructions to the Heaven-Devouring Rat and the others, and then returned to the Cave Mansion to consolidate his realm.

The wild beasts in the south also completely scattered and fled.

At the moment Qin Ming transformed into the True Spirit Kunpeng, that Tier Six Wild Beast was equally intimidated by the Ancient True Spirit Bloodline, not knowing where it ran off to.

The originally tense situation was easily resolved once Qin Ming advanced to the Void Refining Stage.

After returning to the Cave Mansion, Qin Ming took out the five pieces of Immortal Jade, intending to use these top-tier spiritual objects for his Void Refining breakthrough.

His mana foundation was incredibly deep, and he almost effortlessly triggered the Void Refining Celestial Phenomenon.

Now using them to consolidate his newly broken-through cultivation proved to be just right and effective.

Qin Ming took out a piece of milky white Immortal Jade, containing a wisp of Immortal Origin Qi. As he absorbed it, it flowed through his meridians, circulating continuously.

"Such spiritual objects... are indeed far superior to top-grade Spirit Stones..."

With the support of the Immortal Jade, Qin Ming’s cultivation consolidated swiftly.

His foundation already far exceeded that of same-tier cultivators, requiring only a few days to fully consolidate his Void Refining realm.

Then.

He flipped his hand and took out Ling Tianjun’s storage pouch.

With a powerful Divine Thought, he easily broke the restriction left inside by the opponent.

He rummaged through the contents and finally found an item.

With a thought, Qin Ming summoned all twelve zodiac stone statues to the open space in his Cave Mansion.

He learned through Soul Search that Ling Tianjun was willing to go to any lengths in secretly coveting the Heaven-Devouring Rat’s Essence Blood, hoping to uncover secrets hidden within the zodiac statues and gain great fortune.

For a Void Refining Stage Cultivator to consider it a great fortune, it certainly wouldn’t be a simple object.

Additionally, these twelve zodiac stone statues were acquired by Ling Tianjun and several companions from a certain Secret Realm, and only he knew about it, keeping them hidden.

Qin Ming briefly studied these peculiar statues but couldn’t discern anything.

The only certainty was that eleven of the statues had been imbued with Essence Blood of corresponding Zodiac Demon Beasts, and the bloodlines were quite potent.

The Spirit Pattern restriction emanated a dim layer of blood light.

Qin Ming put them away, planning to study them slowly after handling recent matters.

Moreover, Ling Tianjun, as a Void Refining Stage Loose Cultivator, had quite a few items in his storage pouch.

Unfortunately, there were only two pieces of Immortal Jade, making him relatively poor among Void Refining Stage Cultivators.

Then.

After Qin Ming broke through to Void Refining, he could also fully unlock and take control of the Spirit Communication Treasure, the Immortal-Slaying Gourd.

Its inner space originally had three layers.

He had already unlocked the Divine Techniques ’Soul Capturing and Soul Stabilizing’ and ’Profound Yin Spirit Slash’ on the first and second layers.

The next layer, ’Annihilation Layer,’ required Void Refining Stage cultivation to open and also required refining several spiritual objects.

Since arriving in the Spirit Realm, Qin Ming had been gathering these with focus and had now secured them all.

Next.

Qin Ming’s Divine Thought invaded the inner space, communicating with the Artifact Spirit inside, immediately beginning to refine this top-tier treasure.

In the next instant.

The twin Artifact Spirits appeared before him.

...

Meanwhile, within the Little Turtle Peak Spiritual Land.

The most excited were none other than the Xu Family who had previously allied themselves with Little Turtle Peak.

The Xu Family never expected to gain a formidable Void Refining ally so unexpectedly...

Clan Leader Xu Xuan was thoroughly invigorated, originally seeking Qin Ming’s protection purely out of necessity.

Yet unexpectedly, his pillar of support turned into a towering tree.

A Divine Monarch Void Refining, even surrounding Celestial Star City, was a notable figure.

Moreover, their Lord Peak Master’s formidable strength, who could effortlessly annihilate the renowned Divine Monarch Lingtian.

Probably even among Void Refining Stage, his Divine Techniques demonstrated immense power, incomparable to ordinary cultivators.

The Xu Family was the only faction to ally early, while later families might not have the opportunity.

Loyalty among everyone was thoroughly maxed.

These few days, Xu Xuan frequently approached Baili Hui to build connections.

Hoping he would speak favorably of them to Qin Ming, allowing their Xu Family to remain at Little Turtle Peak Spiritual Land in the future.

...

Within a grand residence in the Inner City of Celestial Star City.

Jiang Tian looked utterly bewildered at his father, Jiang Wuji, incredulous as he said, "What?! That Loose Cultivator from Little Turtle Peak actually broke through to the Void Refining realm?"

He had been secluded in the Library Pavilion in recent days, only emerging to inquire after hearing significant commotion outside.

Upon learning of Qin Ming’s breakthrough to the Void Refining Stage, he couldn’t believe it regardless.

Assuming it was a mistake, it wasn’t until confirmed by his father that he realized it...

Jiang Tian suddenly felt an intense sense of fear; if his father hadn’t confined him in the library and personally apologized, he wouldn’t have known what the outcome would be.

Offending a Divine Monarch Void Refining was not a trivial matter.

Moreover, the Loose Cultivator Lii from Little Turtle Peak was also a Tier Six Alchemy Divine Master, possibly nearing a Tier Six Spirit Plant Master.

His status naturally eclipsed that of ordinary Void Refining Stage Loose Cultivators.

Previously, he had heard that Qin Ming, during Divinity Transformation Perfection, repeatedly turned down recruitment from Heaven-Holding Hall and the Star Guard Army.

Now, after breaking through to the Void Refining Stage, his status and prominence were beyond question.

For a moment, Jiang Tian deeply regretted his previous actions, becoming worried and clouded with gloom.
