Chapter 490: Chapter 290: Beholding the New World [Two Chapters Combined]
Qin Ming and Xiang Yiwu stopped and looked at each other.
Qin Ming spoke, “When I broke through to the Second Realm, I also experienced rebirth, with a substantial increase in my physique.”
Xiang Yiwu also admitted, “During the Second Realm, I sat cross-legged in the Tathagata’s Seven Treasures Pond and experienced Nirvana rebirth.”
“Hiss!” Wu Yaizu gasped, nearly biting his tongue.
Xiang Yiwu’s expression was complex. He had the various secret techniques researched by his sect’s ancestral court to temper his body, whereas the other was from a Wild Cultivator background but had reached this height.
Although he was now also a “Wild Cultivator” and left to his own devices, he had thoroughly mastered all he had learned and understood.
He said, “In a few days, your body will further improve. Though it won’t compare to rebirth, it will still be quite remarkable.”
“Hmm?” Qin Ming was puzzled.
Xiang Yiwu explained, “Some Miracle Techniques practiced to perfection might reveal a whole new world. I surmise that your Lihuo Scripture also exhibits such an anomaly.”
Qin Ming was immediately surprised. Da Xiang had already mastered and experienced it before him!
However, after some thought, it made sense. The other came from the Tathagata Sect, with systemic study and knowledge of numerous secret skills, which surely far surpassed his own.
In fact, such things don’t need to be taught. When one reaches that level, the new world naturally unfolds, and secret treasures can be unearthed!
If you don’t reach that state, informing you in advance is useless and will only shake your spiritual conviction.
“What did you see?” Qin Ming asked.
Xiang Yiwu smiled slightly and said, “I have already seen the legendary Great Leiyin Temple, the Great Leiyin Cicada… its prototype.”
Qin Ming looked astonished. Indeed, this robust young man had already glimpsed new, wondrous realms and unearthed incredible secret treasures.
Xiao Wu looked baffled. Where did these two guys dig things up? What were they talking about?
“To see a legendary temple?” Qin Ming pondered, this was indeed unusual.
Xiang Yiwu shook his head and said, “Arriving at a whole new world isn’t as astonishing as you think. It’s just a Miracle Technique; it’s merely the initial discovery of a secret treasure. It requires more visits to the new world in the future to achieve significant rewards.”
Qin Ming pondered, as he was also practicing the Golden Cicada Scripture and raising silkworms and cicadas, perhaps he too might have a chance to see the Great Leiyin Temple.
Xiang Yiwu said, “Seeing a New World inevitably comes with feedback. You haven’t yet received the gift of the Lihuo Scripture. Just wait calmly for a few more days.”
Qin Ming nodded. It seemed all paths were not simple. Not to mention the Immortal Road or the Esoteric Path, even on the Rebirth Road, there were many secrets to explore.
No wonder, though the Rebirth Road has declined, it still persists, having ways of prolonging life.
Xiang Yiwu seemed to know what he was thinking, shook his head and sighed, “Do you think all Miracle Techniques can fit your nature and be practiced to perfection? Not every Miracle Technique opens up to a ‘new world.’ The number of ‘new worlds’ one can witness in a lifetime should be limited.”
“I want to see a New World too!” Wu Yaizu scratched his head, feeling truly anxious hearing all this.
Qin Ming glanced at him and said, “I have a True Scripture here, indeed profound but difficult to practice.”
He then asked Xiang Yiwu, “Want to exchange scriptures? I guarantee it belongs to the imperishable chapters of the Rebirth Road, tested by great eras.”
Xiang Yiwu’s eyes lit up and said, “Exchange, how about the Tathagata’s Handwritten Letter? It’s all experiential talk!”
“Can I exchange? I have top-tier chapters about the Spiritual Field!” Wu Yaizu quickly joined in, wanting to learn too.
Qin Ming took out a scripture related to the body handed down by the Silk Calligraphy Ancestor Master.
When the two heard about his coming from Kunleng, fishing alone at night in the Dragon Pond, and actually catching an Ancestor Master, they were all stunned and found it bizarre and terrifying.
The three joyfully exchanged their texts, sharing what they had.
When they exited the secret practice chamber, Qin Ming received a letter.
In recent days, they were in seclusion, not meeting visitors, as too many were looking for them.
They undoubtedly received many invitations but temporarily did not attend any.
“This is…” Qin Ming was startled; it was a letter from Li Qingyue.
Not only was there a letter, but also a token, a bronze ring.
“If someone applies pressure, show this token.” This was the message from Li Qingyue, who had originally visited, but at that time, Qin Ming was in secluded cultivation.
“Is there really someone looking to harm me?” Qin Ming’s face clouded, his eyes deepening, suddenly thinking of that young boy.
But he didn’t know the boy at all, and they had no enmity. It seemed there was someone behind the boy.
“Applying pressure… not daring to take my life, right, Ancestor Master just crippled Old Cao, even the old monsters of the Immortal Road who are stuck in their ways probably don’t dare to reach out randomly. Moreover, those at that level wouldn’t even focus on me, not considering me important.”
Qin Ming felt this had nothing to do with the old monsters, likely a self-initiated act by some young rash members.
That night, he felt something, and meditated in the practice room.
Moments later, the bright and splendid Lihuo Furnace manifested, hovering before him, then slowly ascended, hanging above his head.
At that moment, the cicadas’ cries ceased, and the fat silkworms withdrew.
Only the pure furnace itself underwent transformation, its lid slowly opening, and from within poured a crystal clear liquid, carrying a rich fragrance.
Although not tangible, it could be sensed as if truly existing, like a furnace of treasure medicine freshly refined.
The Lihuo Furnace tilted, and the fragrant liquid dripped into Qin Ming’s mouth.
In an instant, he felt as if drinking fine nectar or Jade Liquid, his whole body relaxed, his spirit clear, his body translucent, constantly emitting a precious glow, feeling ethereal as if about to ascend as an Immortal.
Qin Ming realized that merely practicing Miracle Techniques could open new territories and carve new paths on his rebirth road!
“So fragrant, more!” He opened his mouth to drink the “secret treasure” again.
