After chasing Dao Junchen away, Qi Ming felt a little relieved. After all, he felt a little uncomfortable having a ‘stranger’ beside him who he had only known for less than half an hour.
Moreover, Qi Ming still had very important things to do.
“This is the World Piercing Sword!”
Yang Li looked at the projection and stared at the World Piercing Sword in Qi Ming’s hand with a surprised expression, “Isn’t Qi Ming’s Intrinsic Dharma treasure the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Embryo? What’s up with the World Piercing Sword?”
“Could it be…”
“Qi Ming did not only refine the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Embryo, he also refined the World Piercing Sword.”
Half an hour later, Qi Ming found a quiet cave. The demon bear in the cave was killed by Qi Ming with a single strike. This quiet cave became Qi Ming’s territory.
“Illusion array! Rise!”
Buzz!
Qi Ming waved his right hand and formed hand seals. Formation seals appeared and he casually threw out a few array foundations. They landed in four directions and instantly formed an illusion array.
Qi Ming’s array formation attainment was extremely high.
At the same time, he waved his hand again and blocked the senses of the legacy token. The projection scene where Qi Ming was became pitch-black and he could not see anything.
The design of the legacy token was quite humane.
For example, if Qi Ming did not want others to see anything, he could use his Dharmic powers to temporarily block the senses of the legacy token. This way, the scene would not be transmitted.
“Qi Ming blocked the legacy token.”
“What does he want to do?”
“He probably wants to do something that he doesn’t want us to see.”
“I’m suddenly a little curious about what Qi Ming wants to do.”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
“…”
The elders of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect discussed.
In addition, in the other projections, the legacy disciples of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect had their own opportunities. There were even a few who had already fought the legacy disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect.
The battle between the two sides was difficult to determine.
No matter what, both sides were legacy disciples.
The cultivation methods and Dharma treasures on them were both at the top level of the same realm. Therefore, if one wanted to determine the winner, it would still depend on the combat experience of the two sides.
Some disciples were also quite lucky. After entering the ancient grotto-heaven, they encountered different opportunities. Although they did not know if this opportunity was good or bad, it also attracted the attention of many elders, including Su Qingyin.
After she entered the ancient grotto-heaven, she landed in front of a huge palace. However, this palace had turned into ruins. After she entered, she encountered some strange tests.
Su Qingyin was extremely lucky.
It was extraordinary.
According to her experiences, her providence had probably reached the top five colors.
“Let’s begin.”
Qi Ming had already set up the illusion array. With a thought, he formed hand seals and the Dharmic powers in his body surged out. They were quickly consumed. He first used the mystic technique, Heavenly Observation.
“Heavenly Observation.”
Then, he traced the history of this ancient grotto-heaven and everything that had happened in the past gradually appeared in Qi Ming’s mind.
Qi Ming’s mastery of the Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques was only at the entry level. He could not figure out the secret of this ancient grotto-heaven by relying on the Heavenly Observation.
Many key points were enveloped in fog and could not be seen clearly.
“Future Sight.”
Buzz!
Qi Ming formed another seal and mobilized vast Dharmic powers. The Great Dao True Mark of the Connate Purity Great Dao Golden Core flickered with light as the Dao runes of the Heaven and Earth Dao circulated.
In an instant, Qi Ming looked at the past, present, and future.
The layers of fog were torn apart.
He saw the truth of the ancient grotto-heaven.
After a moment, the Dao runes of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao around Qi Ming disappeared, and the distorted space and time returned to normal. His Dharmic powers calmed down, but he had consumed a huge amount of energy. Qi Ming revealed a shocked expression, “It’s actually like this!”
Qi Ming said, “This ancient grotto-heaven was actually created by the Ancient Demon Emperor: Yinglong. It is called the Yinglong Grotto-heaven. It’s not a paradise for humans at all. No wonder the Chang River was swept in 38 years ago, and the demon beasts in the Chang River were not restricted. All of them entered this grotto-heaven.”
“Instead, human cultivators are restricted.”
“As for the inheritance…”
Qi Ming raised his head and looked to the extreme east of the ancient grotto-heaven, “If I’m not wrong, it should be in the Yinglong Temple in the extreme east.”
Yinglong.
It was an Emperor among the transformed dragons and had wings on its body.
Through tracing history, Qi Ming had cleared the fog. It could be said that he had ‘personally’ seen the Ancient Demon Emperor: Yinglong.
The characteristic was that it had wings, scales, and spines. Its head was big and long, and its mouth,noses, eyes, and ears were small. Its eyes were large, its brows were arched, its teeth were sharp, and its forehead protruded. Its neck was thin, its tail was long, and its limbs were strong.
Its body size could change at will.
It could be as big as heaven and earth or as small as a snake or ant.
In addition, in the ‘truth’ that Qi Ming saw, Yinglong was not born a dragon. It had transformed into a dragon and ascended to the top step by step.
At the beginning, this Ancient Demon Emperor, Yinglong, was only a Venomous Snake. It was a snake that was born with venom. After cultivating for 500 years, it transformed into a flood dragon. After cultivating for another 1,000 years, it transformed from a flood dragon to a hornless dragon. After that, it cultivated for 1500 years before transforming from a hornless dragon to a horned dragon.
Finally, after 2500 years of cultivation, it had truly transformed into Yinglong and was called an Ancient Demon Emperor.
It was truly a legend.
Unfortunately, Qi Ming did not see the true end of this Ancient Demon Emperor: Yinglong. He did not know if it had died or gone further and shattered the void.
To the other legacy disciples, they knew nothing about this ancient grotto-heaven. They did not know anything about its origin. Only by constantly exploring and searching could they infer the origin of this ancient grotto-heaven from the clues they found.
Qi Ming directly knew all the secrets of the ancient grotto-heaven.
This had already completely widened the distance between them.
He was ahead of everyone.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!!
Suddenly.
Qi Ming’s entire body shook as the Dharmic powers in his body surged.
This was the backlash of spying on the heavenly secrets.
“Golden Core Great Dao Scripture!”
Buzz!!!
Qi Ming shouted loudly. Scripture circulated and Great Dao True Marks spread out. He used the Golden Core Great Dao True Intent to suppress the surging Dharmic powers in his body.
Pew!!!
Qi Ming still spat out a mouthful of blood.
He suffered some internal injuries.
Of course, the backlash of heaven and earth had not ended.
Heaven and earth nurtured killing intent that transformed into invisible Obliteration Tribulation Wind that surged towards Qi Ming. Wherever it passed, the entire cave would turn to ashes.
The illusion array set up by Qi Ming was completely destroyed by the Obliteration Tribulation Wind.
“Purity Golden Body.”
Buzz!
Qi Ming immediately used the Purity Golden Body. The Heaven and Earth Great Dao True Marks circulated, forming a golden light that enveloped Qi Ming’s entire body, blocking the worldly killing intent and forming the Obliteration Tribulation Wind.
It was the spell immunity effect.
“Huff…”
Qi Ming heaved a sigh of relief, but he discovered that his clothes had turned to ashes under the Obliteration Tribulation Wind. He immediately took out his clothes from his inventory and wore them again.
Immediately after, Qi Ming took out a healing pill from his inventory and swallowed it. The internal injuries caused by the backlash of his Dharmic powers instantly recovered.
“Riding Golden Light.”
Swish!
Qi Ming used the Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques’ mystic technique, Riding Golden Light. He could transform into a golden light and travel thousands of miles in a day. It was an extremely brilliant escape technique. Legend had it that it was passed down by the Sage, Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning.
As his cultivation level increased, the golden light would be even faster.
Riding Clouds and Fog was suitable for long distance travel. Although its speed was not comparable to Riding Golden Light, the consumption was very small. It did not even require any Dharmic powers.
On the contrary, Riding Golden Light was different.
It was suitable for a short distance flight and was even an extremely useful escape technique.
It was very fast.
In exchange, it consumed a lot of energy.
In order to arrive at the Yinglong Temple earlier, Qi Ming used the technique and transformed into a golden light to fly in the sky. He rushed to the extreme east like a golden bolt of lightning.
On the other side.
“Treasure Mirror, oh Treasure Mirror.”
Dao Junchen waved his right hand and blocked the senses from the Dao Seeking Sect. He looked at the Eight Trigrams Mirror in his hand and sighed, “You asked me to follow Qi Ming, but I don’t know if he discovered something. I followed him shamelessly, but he insisted on chasing me away and even attacked.”
“It’s not that I’m afraid of Qi Ming, but there’s no need to fight him at all.”
“Moreover… I came here to find opportunities, not to fight. I, Dao Junchen, have never liked fighting.”
“If I continue following, I’ll probably be slashed to death by Qi Ming.”
“Forget it.”
Dao Junchen took a deep breath, “I can only find another opportunity.”
Buzz!
Dao Junchen put away the Eight Trigrams Mirror.
He stood up and prepared to leave.
This mirror was called the Heaven and Earth Providence Eight Trigrams Mirror.
There was also fate involved.
Back then, when Dao Junchen was just six years old. He accidentally fell into the river and the back of his head hit a sharp stone at the bottom of the river. It cut his head, and his blood was coincidentally absorbed by the Heaven and Earth Providence Eight Trigrams Mirror that was covered in dust at the bottom of the river.
They were bound by blood since.
Dao Junchen had already grasped the initial use of the Heaven and Earth Providence Eight Trigrams Mirror.
At the beginning, Dao Junchen was still young and knew nothing. However, he would sometimes inexplicably hear a voice. According to the reminder of this voice, he could obtain some good things.
However…
Sometimes, he would encounter danger.
Until he was 14 years old, he left the village in advance according to the reminder of the voice. When he returned, the entire village was slaughtered by the bandits, and he was stunned on the spot.
The voice only reminded him to leave the village, but it did not tell him why.
This was both unfortunate and fortunate.
A legacy elder of the Dao Seeking Sect passed by here. Because the smell of blood was heavier after the village was slaughtered, he accidentally glanced over. Then, he discovered Dao Junchen and sensed his talent.
Dao Junchen then entered the Dao Seeking Sect. Because his talent was very high, he directly became a legacy disciple of Gongsun Daoming, a legacy elder of the Four Symbols Palace of the twelve palaces of the Dao Seeking Sect.
He could be said to have reached the heavens in a single step.
After that, Dao Junchen gradually figured out the ability of the Heaven and Earth Providence Eight Trigrams Mirror. He also used it and put in his own effort to become the Eldest Legacy Senior Brother of the Four Symbols Palace.
In addition…
In the entire Dao Seeking Sect, Dao Junchen’s reputation was extremely high.
As Dao Junchen glanced at the bronze mirror, it reminded him that if he left now, he would encounter a fortune that came knocking on his door.
Dao Junchen had only taken a few steps when he discovered traces of the demons.
“Demons! Die!”
He directly attacked and took out his Dharma treasure to kill the two demons. After plundering, he found two incomplete maps and two special tokens.
“This is…”
Dao Junchen’s eyes lit up as he said happily, “A map! This is an incomplete map of the ancient grotto-heaven! Hahaha…”
