Night Without End

Chapter 1507: Chapter 616: Guardian_2

"It’s difficult!" He sighed lightly, wishing he were just over twenty now, as everything would still be possible, propelling him toward ultimate brilliance, with the Taoist Venerable title within reach.

At the Dachitian Martial Hall, a female Grandmaster was lamenting, saying, "Wang Shu, you must stand up for me. As soon as I mentioned you, that person struck me with a golden palm print, truly outrageous."

Upon reaching the Grandmaster Realm, one’s status is already quite high. Even facing Saints, one is no longer a mere follower, and the titles and relationships between them become harmonious.

Yun Wangshu, shrouded in mist with clear and bright radiance around her body, appeared somewhat hazy, saying, "I am aware of this matter; you should take a rest first. Next time, I will personally visit the Secret Realm."

That day, news spread that many Saints would appear the next time the Secret Realm opened.

"Is it true? Has the mysterious character caused Zuo Qing, Qi Lin, and others to take notice? Who exactly is this remarkable figure?"

"When will the new Secret Realm open? It’s been a long time since Saints competed against each other. This time is destined to be very lively, and I can’t wait."

For this reason, many people wanted to sneak into the Secret Realm to witness what would happen firsthand.

Some people even resorted to temporarily pledging loyalty to certain Saints just for a chance to enter the scene.

Meanwhile, everyone was trying to unravel the mystery, to identify who the mysterious figure was.

Within the group of fifteen, Zhuo Tai, who could contend with Saints, was naturally the most suspicious.

However, he himself was utterly confused, completely unaware of the situation.

Zhuo Tai, having Demon Clan blood, refined his True Form with the Power of Taiyin, boasting a tremendous physique, yet incompatible with most cultivation techniques under Doushuai Temple’s jurisdiction.

Thus, he maintained his status as a "Loose Cultivator," planning to travel afar should he ultimately be unable to enter the Supreme Martial hall.

"Who am I taking the blame for?" Zhuo Tai frowned.

Evidently, Li Qingyue, among the fifteen, was temporarily unnoticed.

Mainly because she was the youngest, with insufficient Taoist prowess. Ordinarily, no Saint-level expert would pledge allegiance to someone in the Fourth Realm.

Even Yun Wangshu, as a Fifth Realm Saint, had expended considerable effort to recruit that outstanding young expert from afar, a task recently achieved.

Apart from the True Scripture and treasure medicine, she also promised to allow the other party to pursue her.

Her heart steadfastly sought the Tao, originally unwilling to embrace the fate of a Daoist companion, lest it increase future troubles.

But now, she could not afford such concerns, as entering the inverted Doushuai Temple required various supports.

"Zhuo Tai, dare to act; he must have summoned Saints of the Demon Clan!"

"It’s possible. It is said he admires Great Saint Zhou Tian of the Demon Court’s future and has some connections there."

Nonetheless, people were certain that a Great Saint would not personally appear in this Earth Realm to act for him; Zhuo Tai still lacked such great influence.

"It’s not me, I didn’t do it!" Zhuo Tai cried out in grievance, wondering who was stirring the storm. He certainly did not wish to become a target.

...

At Lu Palace, Qin Ming set down the scriptures and approached the desk to wield the brush, a white-robed, lively, and elegant woman seeming to leap from the paper, vividly coming to life, capturing divine charm.

He smiled and asked, "Does the painting still catch your eye?"

Li Qingyue arose, the lingering notes of the zither slowly fading, her gentle hands peeling a Spirit Orange, handing it over.

Qin Ming opened his mouth directly, signaling her to feed him.

"What happened? I merely took a nap," the Old Furnace spoke up.

"Excessive!" It realized it had turned into an incense burner, with Calming Incense burning in its cavity.

Qin Ming smiled, "Senior Lu, should I also paint a portrait for you?"

The Old Furnace said, "Forget it, I don’t have any Spirit Oranges to feed you."

Then it became serious again, saying, "Next time, when the new Secret Realm opens, all Saints might enter the scene—you must be cautious."

Qin Ming nodded, confident yet not complacent, acknowledging Doushuai Temple’s fame in Yewu World and the extraordinary Earth Realm it governed.

"Some people harbor ambitions of becoming Taoist Venerable," Li Qingyue began, her eyebrows soft and eyes gentle, elegantly introducing the various Saints’ situations one by one.

Qin Ming listened attentively, respecting all opponents as he also respected his own safety.

At night, moonlight flowed, like a trickling stream, covering the room, with light showers flying about, every inch of the Void pristine and flawless, immensely sacred.

Two large wooden tubs were placed in the room, Qin Ming and Li Qingyue each occupying one, reclining and enjoying a Moon God Flower bath.

This was a quiet room deep within Lu Palace, emitting a subtle fragrance, surrounded by the rich Moonlight.

Li Qingyue remarked, "The opening of this new Secret Realm won’t be too far off. Those people will again achieve nothing and will inevitably push this matter forward with full force."

Qin Ming laughed and said, "Isn’t this great? Accelerate the process; this way, every now and then, new Heaven and Earth Treasures will be acquired, quickly compensating for your over two-year deficit."

He thought, in a sense, this also served as repayment.

Li Qingyue smiled faintly, saying, "It can’t always stay this way; next time, they’ll know who you are."

Her damp hair was covered with Moonlight, her entire being wrapped in a layer of ethereal glow, the Moon God Flower’s effects astonishingly good at purging the fire poison accumulated over the years.

After all, she possessed an Innate Fire Body, with cultivation techniques aligned to her nature, having absorbed and refined much of the Worldly Flowing Fire and the like, leaving slight residual toxins, which was normal.

Now, as the fire poison diminished, her body became increasingly clear and translucent, mystical Fire Runes glowing deep within her flesh, gradually becoming radiant.

The Moon God Flower, also known as Taiyin Flower, was a superb nourishing Big Medicine for those with an Innate Fire Body.
