Chapter 1773 - 693: Calamity at the Gate

Chapter 1773: Chapter 693: Calamity at the Gate

The world seemed to have sunk into the Great Abyss, pitch black as ink, with the murmuring Fire Spring at the bottom only sparkling with relatively weak light, unable to illuminate the heavens and earth.

Even above the Nine Heavens, the Night Fog is dense, fierce gusts of wind surge, clouds collide, like waves crashing against the shore.

Golden Radiance gathers on his body surface, the man’s true appearance emerges, his face quite stern. He strides in the sky, the Night Fog Sea automatically parts, making way for him.

Suddenly, blood trickles from the corner of his mouth, with a faint golden hue, his body swaying, followed by a stumble underfoot.

"The Outer Heaven Creature of the Eighth Realm, after breaking out from the Land of Fate Change, is in an extremely poor state, yet still severely wounded me..." he murmurs softly.

"What a pity for the Inner Saint and Outer Demon, the lineage is thus severed." He gazes toward the Xuanhuang Martial Hall’s direction.

He lets out a long breath, saying, "The Outer Heaven Creature has been uprooted, the hidden threat is finally eliminated completely."

"I wonder if any old fellows are still reckless, eyeing the gate that might exist within him." He wades through the Night Fog Sea, continuing forward.

"You shall not act wantonly, dare to reach out and you shall be slain!" His voice carries cold indifference in the thick fog.

...

"Xuanhuang Tree... looks like I have to stay here for a while longer." Qin Ming whispers softly, after learning the Xuanhuang Tree’s marvelous use, he is quite moved.

That ancient tree was personally planted by the Ancestor Master.

Sitting cross-legged under the tree, Great Realm Barrier, breakthrough delay moments, periods of spiritual exhaustion, all disperse, the body can be purified by it, making one’s blood and flesh translucent, spirit and mind crystal clear.

"This... is practically a Heavenly Immortal Treasure Tree!" Qin Ming’s heart surges with excitement. To cultivate under this tree for years, with Big Medicine for breakthrough, where is there a bottleneck?

Six Desires remind, saying, "Breaking through involves many factors like comprehension, Taoist skill, and state."

But all these factors are not a matter of concern.

For Qin Ming, he is currently unable to advance further because his breakthrough was too intense.

If he cultivates under the Xuanhuang Tree, his conundrum will be resolved smoothly.

Jiang Ran informs him, saying, "The Divine Light cast by the Xuanhuang Tree can only purify a person’s form and spirit twice, not as you think, allowing long-term seclusion under the tree."

Moreover, the two instances must be separated by over a hundred years.

"That is impressive enough." Qin Ming replies.

He thinks, after purification by the Xuanhuang Tree, if he breaks through again, he might indeed break some records.

For example, to become the youngest Great Grandmaster of the current age!

Even to use this as a foundation, and later naturally become the youngest Ancestor Master of the current age.

Soon, Qin Ming finishes moving house. On the mountain peak, immortal energy saturates, golden electric bamboo sways, rustling, occasionally faint arcs of electricity fly out, illuminating the Night Fog, the scenery is quite beautiful.

This is Qin Ming’s new residence, to the left is the mountain where Jiang Ran meditates.

The two mountains are very close, Qin Ming can jump over to the opposite cliff.

As for the mountain to his right, it is the guest house for Si Yeli.

Niu Wuwei, Mu Shiniang, and others, all with significant backgrounds, have been arranged to live in this core area.

Qin Ming smiles as he speaks, "No time like the present, today I host a banquet to treat everyone to enjoy the divine cuisine together."

Niu Wuwei’s expressionless face rarely shows some emotion, his bull face wrinkles, saying, "Old Six, are you going to bring out that Black Boar Meat of yours? Your Fifth Brother has tasted many things, and you’re going to use such coarse meat to treat us?"

He indeed has the right to say such words, coming from Doushuai Temple, as a Hidden Disciple, having attended various grand gatherings, yet Old Six repeatedly mentions some inferior wild meat.

Zhou Tian also speaks up, "Sixth Brother, the texture of Black Boar Meat is the most tough and gamey, are you trying to drag us down after suffering yourself?"

Despite Old Six claiming it’s an absolute delicacy, he doesn’t believe a word.

Zhou Tian adds, saying, "Let me tell you, back in the day, an elder hunted a Sixth Realm male boar. I respected its Taoist skill, so I ate a piece, only to find my mouth still emitting a gamey scent three days later."

Qin Ming smiles slightly, saying, "I’m quite worried that soon you’ll abandon your image to vie for this Immortal cuisine."

Mu Shiniang gently shakes his folding fan, speaking slowly, "Sixth Brother, the world’s delicacies naturally have their grades. Though the ingredients you chose are of Grandmaster Level Black Boar, if we speak of flavor, it may not truly be refined."

Si Yeli also covers her mouth with a smile, she feels Teacher Zheng Guang is being mischievous, trying to play a trick on his sworn brothers by hosting with such coarse meat.

Only Demoness Jiang finds her mouth watering, merely two days without tasting, yet she already misses it a bit. Luckily, her bracelet still contains reserves.

After a cup of tea, near the cliff’s edge in the electric bamboo forest, on the scalding stone slab, crystal-clear meat emits a rich fragrance.

Qin Ming gives a small try with the knife, first tasting a piece himself, Jiang Ran immediately grabs the second piece.

Then, only one piece of Black Boar Meat remains.

Swish, swish, swish!

In that instant, both Zhou Tian and Si Yeli reach out, competing for the last piece.

Niu Wuwei, with his long-term serious expression, his lips twitching slightly. How could this fragrance be so alluring? Yet earlier he declared he wouldn’t eat Black Boar Meat.

And Mu Shiniang, unable to shake his fan anymore, involuntarily steps forward.

As Great Saints, they naturally realize this is a nourishing Big Medicine.

That brilliant meat, how could it be Black Boar Meat?

It condenses rich spirituality and even carries Tao Rhythm, consuming it would surely extend one’s life, it is an exceptional restorative substance.

If Qin Ming hadn’t repeatedly broken through recently, just eating White Qilin’s flesh and blood might lead to another breakthrough.

After all, this is the legendary auspicious beast.
