Night Without End

Chapter 1648: Chapter 654: Clearing the Stage (4)

Zhou Tian spoke, "Old Six, tell me, when you raise us high, are you trying to be the boss and make us call you brother?"

Qin Ming glanced sideways and said, "Pure at heart, pure departing; don’t sully my reputation without cause. Old Four, will you turn yourself, or should I turn you a few times to divine if I have such intentions?"

Moments later, the aroma permeates the air.

Niu Wuwei said, "The legendary species, Tao Mushroom plus Void Roc... even a Heavenly Immortal might not get to taste it!"

Zhou Tian spoke, "Fifth Brother, you’re a cow, shouldn’t you be eating grass? Put down a couple of pieces of meat!"

"I’m human; it’s just from practicing skills I became like this!"

Wen Lingxi praised, "Smells amazing!"

Meng Zhiyu remained silent but didn’t refrain from eating.

Taiyi spoke, "According to records, most of the later paths are solitary. Each person must face the trials themselves, so we must split up."

Mu Shiniang was indifferent and said, "Alright, let’s consider it a farewell meal then, and get ready to set off!"

...

Qin Ming set off alone, passing through several gates and acquiring many scriptures.

Unfortunately, there was no resting place, no medicinal tea enjoyed.

For this, he wasn’t disappointed.

The Land of Fate Change is famous because it hides the Supreme Scripture, not because it harbors Breakthrough Medicine and the like.

Mists swirled as the sky and earth turned dim; Qin Ming passed through the final gate of this vast territory.

"The first part of the Yi Ming Scripture is finished; it’s time to enter the Middle Chapter Territory."

Life Changing Scripture acts as the prologue, set alone in one territory.

The subsequent true scripture is divided into the first part, middle part, and last part.

According to Meng Zhiyu and Taiyi, only the first and middle parts should be taken; stop when it’s good, for the last part may stir up strangeness, involve forbidden power, causing transformation or fate change, which would be troublesome.

"Escorting you a thousand miles, we must part in the end. Insect Emperor, it’s up to you now." Qin Ming waved, watching Little Worm merge into the night.

Then, his true body vanished from where he stood.

His consciousness attached to Old Bu, lurking in that location, quietly awaiting good news from Insect Emperor.

"This is..." Little Worm followed the path, unexpectedly ascending into the night sky, eventually arriving at an aerial garden.

This was a ruined cave mansion resting above the Nine Heavens.

The place was extremely desolate, remnants everywhere. The so-called flowers and plants had long withered, with no Spiritual Medicine, Divine Flower existing.

The entire area was engulfed in lifelessness.

As he moved forward, the territory finally showed movement; corpses emerged from the soil, wandering in the Night Fog.

Flap!

A completely white owl spread its wings, a rusty Flying Sword pierced through its brow, attacking the Insect Emperor.

With a bang, the Insect Emperor punched, blasting it apart instantly.

"Ah..." It was as if a beehive had been disturbed; the sky was filled with bird corpses, covering the heavens, charging at him.

Behind the corpse swarm, clear footsteps echoed, a man emanating Phoenix Heavenly Fire drove the tide of corpses, advancing towards this territory.

"The first formidable enemy on the Illusory Ancient Road?" Qin Ming murmured.

Moments later, Nine-colored Sword Qi soared into the sky, Phoenix Call echoed throughout the heavens. The man was a visualization of an ancient strongman, engaging in intense battle with Qin Ming.

Thump!

Shortly after, the man’s head exploded from the Insect Emperor’s punch.

Scriptures fell, Qin Ming caught them, silently studying.

Soon after he set off again, heading towards the next gate.

Qin Ming resonated with Little Worm, bypassing the Nine Layers of Gates, acquiring the entire middle part of the Yi Ming Scripture.

The last gate had warnings left by predecessors, cautioning the successors that further advancement might lead to unfortunate events.

"From here, it’s considered clearing the trial; do not go further."

Surprisingly, such words were preserved without being erased by the power of the Land of Fate Change, making Qin Ming quite surprised.

Have the trials been cleared? After a short contemplation, he set off again.

"I am the Insect Emperor; why should I fear the perilous road ahead? I must proceed, to witness the lower part of the true scripture."

Qin Ming trod a Heaven-Reaching Ladder, heading towards Above the Nine Heavens, seemingly to transcend to Outer Heaven.

Finally, he reached the end of the Heavenly Ladder, climbing onto it, immediately seeing a gentle light curtain, resembling hazy starlight.

Qin Ming saw the Boundary Stone, upon which were inscribed words, informing that this was the end; ahead lay no path.

"The ultimate place?" Qin Ming’s spirit was highly concentrated, ready for emergencies.

In the sky, paper scattered, revealing the lower part of the true scripture.

He knew things weren’t that simple; whether he will be transformed, eventually fate-changed?

Below his feet, mysterious patterns illuminated across vast areas.

Then, from all directions, the sound of moving stone tablets resonated.

"Damn, could it be that as soon as I entered, some mysterious ritual began?" Qin Ming was on high alert, the Insect Emperor’s body tensed.
