Chapter 491: Chapter 291: Live and Die Together

In the void, a furnace as tall as a palm tilted, as if the divine brew from the Palace of the Polestar in the Nine Heavens was descending from the sky. Its rich aroma was intoxicating, making one wish to reside forever in a mystical realm, lost in dream and reality, unable to extricate oneself.

Qin Ming drank deeply, repeatedly praising the fragrance.

A radiant glow surrounded him, his complexion rosy, his gaze gradually becoming hazy.

He distinctly felt his physique transforming, vitality strengthening. This glowing red furnace wasn’t a physical object, but it was extraordinary, bestowed with such gifts.

The liquid was crystalline, like molten Crimson Jade, trickling down in strands, illuminating vast expanses of crimson light. There was also a white, immortal fog-like substance swirling, engulfing the entire chamber as if it were draped in fiery clouds.

Qin Ming felt as though he had transcended worldly limitations, shedding his mortal form to ascend as an immortal.

He wasn’t inebriated, merely mentally emptied, sweeping away the dust of his soul, experiencing great liberation, supreme bliss, and ultimate freedom.

His body was being purified, with treasures of brilliance rising from flesh and blood, his whole form undergoing a fiery refinement. Each sip of the luminous red liquid felt like a baptism.

Qin Ming could clearly perceive a significant increase in his body’s vitality.

While it wasn’t enough to cause a qualitative change in his Heavenly Light Force or a dramatic growth in his Taoist strength, leading to an all-encompassing rebirth, it was sufficient. It seemed tailored specifically for physical enhancement.

He felt as though he were being irrigated by the Fire Essence, with crimson light bursting from every pore, firelight flowing through his blood, tempering every inch of his body.

Was this the Big Medicine? For some, perhaps it was.

But for many more, it was unbearable and would burn them alive, easily turning into a pile of human-shaped ashes.

Perhaps this is why the “Secret Treasure” is rarely known.

Even in a highly competitive world, only a handful could witness the “New World” and safely appreciate the unique scenery of the legendary domain, receiving gifts.

Qin Ming directly began practicing the “Body Chapter,” one of the four scripture meanings passed down by the Silk Calligraphy Ancestor Master.

This chapter alone seemed enough to become a path in itself.

“If the skill goes silent, can the Night Fog Sea be crossed?” This phrase begins the chapter, clearly indicating that the author of the scripture had a strong sense of foreboding.

Even the Silk Calligraphy Ancestor Master once absorbed this scripture’s essence, one can imagine the ambition and aspirations of those ancestors in the past.

Despite being refined, those ancestors believed there were still many shining things left uncollected, hence leaving behind the four scriptures.

Qin Ming, in great liberation and supreme freedom, continued his practice in the secret chamber.

While opening his mouth to drink the radiant liquid descending from the void, he unleashed the full power of his body. Not activating the Heavenly Light, yet moving with immense vigor, his body sounded like thunder, finally even producing dragon roars and tiger howls.

On the four copper walls, he left deep fist marks and holes, all terrifying cracks.

Clearly, this secret chamber would have to be reconstructed afterward.

Qin Ming’s speed increased, like a beam of crimson light surging in the secret chamber, darting as if to slash through the void and beyond.

He drank the “Secret Treasure,” and with crimson glow all around, the Fire Essence flowed in his blood, tempering every part, even strengthening his organs internally, like a furnace of treasure medicine exclusively refining the body.

A long time later, Qin Ming stopped, having drunk all the palm-sized furnace of glowing red “medicine liquid,” with significant strengthening of muscles and bones.

He found that the progress in the body chapter was impressive.

“Barehanded against foes, the body becoming an ancestor, this method… it’s a bit extreme,” Qin Ming murmured to himself.

This time, if his Taoist strength and Heavenly Light Force could also transform in sync, it would equate to a rebirth!

“The Lihuo Scripture, when I practiced it to its legendary level, offered such gifts, with the Fire Essence nurturing the body. If other miracle techniques also reached their peaks, what unique sights would be revealed?”

Qin Ming speculated that the gifts from different miracle techniques would certainly vary.

Seeing the New World, exploring the Secret Treasure, filled with the unknown and uncertainty.

Qin Ming was indeed quite looking forward to this.

He’s just unsure, according to Xiang Yiwu, of how many times there is a limitation to seeing the New World.

As Qin Ming concluded his practice, he delivered a final kick, with a loud clang, shattering the iron wall, creating a large hole.

Xiang Yiwu and Wu Yaizu were next door, and upon hearing the commotion, hurried over, realizing that the gift Qin Ming received from the Secret Treasure was substantial and now his physique was astounding!

When compensating for the damage, the storekeeper widened his eyes, staring at him as if looking at a monster. Before going into seclusion, Qin Ming had mentioned wanting to train his body. Did he really demolish it with his bare hands?

He suspected that this might not be an Advanced Fire Spring in the form of a pangolin transformed and traveling incognito in the Da Yu Imperial City?

The next day, the “Morning glow” plowed through the night fog, shining from the east, illuminating the entire Chongxiao City.

In the Da Yu Imperial City, the regulation of Advanced Fire Spring was so precise that people living in the city felt as if they had returned to daylight times.

Qin Ming went to see Li Qingyue, only to find that she had left early; she seemed very busy lately.

During this period, the Immortal Road was actively preparing for battle.

A group of old veterans, always eager for war, were ready to act, all wishing to break through another level before age restricted them further, constantly urging to set off.

The route had long been determined; the Immortal Road’s forces would depart from here in the Da Yu Imperial City, joining the Sun Essence Race envoy to head deep into the Yewu World.

All the Immortal Seeds were in action, with some forming their teams, while others were seeking powerful allies, all striving for an impressive performance in this initial exploration.

Li Qingyue had secret discussions with the Fourth Princess of Great Yu, Yao Ruoxian, and private meetings with Zhao Qingcheng of the Esoteric Buddhism. Additionally, Immortal Seeds from the Outer World, Divine Seeds from the Esoteric Buddhism, and formidable peers from the Three Great Dynasties had all sought her out.

This exploration focused mainly on the Outer World, not entirely excluding participation from others, but the number of non-Immortal Road participants would be restricted.
