Chapter 1663: Chapter 659: Insect Emperor Gate - 3
"Senior, are you alright?" he transmitted a message inside himself.
The Taoist Sect’s gate had already closed, isolating them from the outside. The Insect Emperor’s body was silent and still, just like before.
Qin Ming secretly let out a sigh of relief and decisively sent this body into the broken cloth.
He realized that using the Miao Technique of One Qi Transforms Three Marks would certainly bring a certain psychological pressure.
To be precise, currently, he could only perform One Qi Transforms Two Marks.
He believed that the three ancient beings would eventually experience a resurgence.
Qin Ming summoned the Two Puppets, resonated with them, and wandered nearby to investigate the surroundings.
"Should I return to the end of the Heavenly Ladder and fish out another old monster? Forget it, since something’s already happened, they definitely can’t start the mysterious ceremony immediately."
Moreover, Qin Ming no longer wished to take risks.
An exhausted and dying Hong Dao had been so resilient, employing various skills to contend with him.
As for Qi Ze, he completely exceeded Qin Ming’s expectations, surprising him into a cold sweat.
"In a short period, if any creature dares to venture alone, it must be a huge crocodile. It would likely be extremely dangerous."
Qin Ming extinguished all thoughts and was not prepared to take any further risks.
Calculating carefully, he had significant gains from the Land of Fate Change.
Not mentioning the few bowls of Medicinal Tea he acquired earlier or his breakthrough to the mid-stage Grandmaster Realm, what he attained now was enough to make him rejoice.
He obtained the complete "Fate Change" True Scripture and resonated with the Scripture Meaning of "Turbid World Green Lotus" from Hong Dao.
Additionally, he secured the Star Sea Silver Lotus, an Immortal Elixir even Eighth Realm powerhouses were concerned about.
Qin Ming took out the finger-length Exotic Metal Treasure Bottle and examined the remnants of the medicine inside.
The bottle was not large, but its internal space was significant.
The Star Sea Silver Lotus was originally about a foot tall with eight leaves, now only a single charred leaf remained.
Qin Ming carefully sensed it; it still held vitality, and its roots were preserved.
"This remnant medicine will surely be of great use to me, though consuming it now seems somewhat wasteful."
Qin Ming saw a stream of light flash by in the distance and immediately reached out, guiding it into the Treasure Vase.
This place was the celestial sanctuary Relics above the Nine Heavens, adjacent to Outer Heaven, where Worldly Flowing Fire and Heavenly Light falling were quite normal.
Qin Ming showed joy, saying, "Oh, it got absorbed. In this case, the remnant medicine is salvageable; perhaps it can undergo resurgence and regrow."
Above the Nine Heavens and Outer Heaven, there were originally legends about rare Divine Medicine. No doubt, the Star Sea Silver Lotus belonged to such a level of Medicinal Herb.
"From now on, during my cultivation, I’ll try to choose places above the Nine Heavens. This way, I can also help this remnant medicine recover."
Inevitably, Qin Ming thought about Hong Dao; this Eighth Realm Powerhouse probably came from Outer Heaven.
When Old Hong was dying, he seemed to reminisce over past events.
At that time, Qin Ming mainly concentrated on resonating with the Scripture Meaning of "Turbid World Green Lotus," not paying close attention to those chaotic thoughts.
But with even those fragmented scenes, he could still make some judgments.
The people on the other side should live outside the Nine Heavens.
However, that area was also covered in dense fog.
"Breaking through the fog will be dangerous?"
"Why do the descendants of those who went out wish to return?"
Most crucially, they seemed unable to directly cross over and descend, as if some unknown Array was blocking them.
Following this, Qin Ming’s face became grim.
For, based on the fragmented images he saw, the realm where Hong Dao and Qi Ze existed was merely a gathering place for some of the earlier people.
Beyond Heaven, there were people who ascended to the heavens before the disappearance of Taiyang, belonging to one of the strongest groups.
Moreover, the people from Outer Heaven seemed to be very fearful of the depths of the Yewu World on the ground.
"Did they flee to Outer Heaven to escape disaster?"
But, after leaving, they wanted to return.
"Could there be terrifying things in the night sky of Outer Heaven?"
Qin Ming found that the so-called outer realms on the ground appeared to be the safest.
"No matter what, I should return." This journey had been highly rewarding and satisfying.
Of course, Qin Ming returned along the Illusory Ancient Road, encountering no abnormality on the way. He began the journey with his True Body.
"Fifth Brother, how did you end up in such a miserable state?" He found Niu Wuwei.
Earlier, Qin Ming had seen Niu Wuwei break through to the end of the Heavenly Ladder using One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones, his entire body soaked in blood.
Unexpectedly, his True Body was also gravely damaged.
Niu Wuwei’s pair of horns were broken, blood flowed from seven orifices, and his human form was covered in bloodstains.
He opened his mouth and informed, "When I approached the last stage, the realm suddenly saw the monster inexplicably rioting, taking my three Clear Qi Incarnations down with them..."
Niu Wuwei thought, since the monster was dead, it should be safe for him to explore with his True Body. He wanted to search for treasures and pick up any relics left behind by predecessors.
As it turned out, those monsters suddenly experienced resurgence, forcing him into a blood-soaked battle to fight his way out.
Niu Wuwei said, "Sixth Brother, I once saw a mysterious man ascend to the last stage. If not for his sinister aura, I almost thought it was you. That manner inexplicably made one think of you."
Qin Ming said, "You mentioned his sinister aura, how could he be like me? Please refer to me as Master Zhi Shan."
Niu Wuwei pondered and said, "Except for the sinister aura, he indeed had aspects similar to you, like that gaze."
"You’re overthinking it." Qin Ming quickly changed the topic, asking if he had made any significant discoveries.
Niu Wuwei said, "Besides that sinister man, there should be others who climbed on the platform bordering Outer Heaven. Unfortunately, I only saw traces left behind."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming’s expression turned serious; was there someone else after all?
"Old Six, it couldn’t be you, right?"
Qin Ming shook his head and said, "You see me with heavy injuries? I am very steady, didn’t take risks, followed Sister Meng and Second Brother’s advice, and took a stroll only in safe realms."
The two accompanied each other on their journey, eventually returning to the reality’s path, about to leave the Land of Fate Change.
"Malicious intent attacking!" Niu Wuwei suddenly halted.
Qin Ming’s expression also grew cold as he said, "Some large organizations, certain inexplicable experts, do not dare to venture into the Land of Fate Change, preferring to wait outside, planning to reap the profits."
"Intercepting midway, picking peaches?" Niu Wuwei’s eyes suddenly glistened with cold light.
Qin Ming said, "Don’t be eager to go out, wait for Sister Meng, Second Brother to come out."
Behind them were Supreme Organizations like Demon Court, Strange Insect Alliance, and Doushuai Temple; generally, no one dared to provoke them easily.
Niu Wuwei nodded and said, "Hmm, truly brave, does someone dare to intercept the Six Great Saints?"
