Night without Borders

Chapter 167 The Life and Death of the First Patriarchs of Each Religion
"No!" Qin Ming said, quite straightforwardly.

Meng Xinghai was surprised and asked, "You rejected it so decisively?"

In the spacious living room, soothing incense curls up from the copper stove, emitting a refreshing fragrance that brings peace of mind.

Qin Ming sighed, "The people I want to see are not here, but most of the people I don't want to see are here."

Li Qingyun nodded and said, "Young people should be so aggressive. I don't want to see them refuse."

In fact, Qin Ming could think of some scenes after the meeting.

"Wang Caiwei wants to see you." A man in black came in to announce the news.

"Just say I'm in seclusion!" Qin Ming said.

Those people knew that he was in the mansion and wanted to see him in person.

Afterwards, Lu Zhenyi, Zheng Maoze, Zeng Yuan and others sent people to pass on the message.

Qin Ming did not show up. He did not want to see some people showing off their superiority after embarking on the path to immortality. He had seen this before in the Silver Vine Town in the Black and White Mountains.

"Well, speak your mind." Li Qingyun said with a smile.

Meng Xinghai said: "Uncle Li, don't say the last four words. It sounds a bit like Cao Qianqiu's style."

Soon, Qin Ming lost consciousness. He learned from Meng Xinghai that Cao Qianqiu, whose consciousness was as bright as a red sun, once stretched out a finger in the night sky and wanted to stab him to death.

Qin Ming felt a surge of fear. He had been very low-key and had not shown his prowess in the City of Gods. He had lived in harmony with the crowd. How could this be an eyesore and offend Cao Qianqiu?

"That doesn't make sense." He was very puzzled.

"He said he saw a hint of Overlord in you," Meng Xinghai informed.

Qin Ming's expression changed slightly. This old guy's intuition was too scary. He hadn't even used the Overlord's mental method, how could he still see through something?

He clearly remembered the scene he saw in Overlord's suicide note. Cao Qianqiu was ferocious and cruel. He used six palm strikes to blow up Overlord's limbs, torso, and head respectively.

The blood of the Overlord fell to the ground but did not extinguish. The spiritual light rose up, but was trampled into ashes by the old man with one foot, and the whole earth turned into scorched earth.

One of the pools of blood, carrying the Overlord's strong emotional fluctuations, fell on his suicide note. Cao Qianqiu sneered and flicked his hand, destroying all the spirituality in the blood.

"He is so strong and domineering, has he never encountered any setbacks?" Qin Ming asked.

Li Qingyun's face was solemn, and he said: "He kicked through the iron plate and crushed it. He is one of the representative figures in the Pure Land outside the world."

Meng Xinghai nodded, looking serious, and said: "At present, he is one of the few people walking in the front of Fangwai Pure Land!"

Qin Ming was silent. This old guy was too powerful and dangerous!

"My great-uncle master has gone back and he probably won't come out again within ten years," said Meng Xinghai.

"Has Lao Cao left?" Li Qingyun asked.

Meng Xinghai said: "Not yet. I heard that they are going to visit Black and White Mountain."

When Qin Ming heard that Cao Qianqiu was still in the city, he suddenly lost his sense of security. This old guy acted recklessly and did whatever he wanted. If he really wanted to think of him again, he could crush him with just one finger.

Not long after, Meng Xinghai received a report from his confidant and said with a smile: "Just now, he has left."

Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a strong desire to become stronger. Living in the night fog world was not easy in the first place, and with an old monster like Cao Qianqiu, he lacked a sense of security.

Afterwards, when they stopped talking about Cao Qianqiu, the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.

Qin Ming mentioned what he saw at the edge of the world. When they learned that he had hunted down creatures with strange blood one after another, the two people in the living room were shocked.

"Do you know the value of a piece of rare blood? Each piece can create an extraordinary person!" Meng Xinghai sighed.

Li Qingyun said: "Some old guys in the Liuyu Ancestral Temple are probably bleeding in their hearts. There must be an elder behind every magical creature."

Qin Ming's expression became serious, and he asked, "Does this count as raising a demon to cause trouble?"

Meng Xinghai shook his head and said, "Not really. They have drawn a boundary and do not allow those old demons to set foot in human habitats. Shenshangping was originally a land of chaos and war, and it has not yet been opened up by us. If it weren't for these captive old demons occupying the border territory and blocking it, other demons would cross the border at any time, and then massacre the village, injure people, and there would be more bloodshed."

Li Qingyun touched Qin Ming's bones and said, "I can't judge your foundation. Maybe the new life path is too marginalized, and even God can't stand it. Maybe you can really make a name for yourself."

Qin Ming shook his head and said, "My current achievements are nothing. If I want to improve further after reaching the Outer Saint stage, it will be like taking one step at a time. This road is too difficult. Alas, I only have two chances to be reborn."

Meng Xinghai said: "I think that with your solid background, there might be a turning point, and the road ahead may not be able to stop you."

Qin Ming sighed, "The Six Imperial Ancestral Temple is so glorious. It has the legendary Six Imperial Heart Sutra and a mature path to follow. But what did I see there? A group of skinny old men who can compare with the not-so-old people in the Fangwai Immortal Land. They are much older than the latter!"

He did have a sense of crisis, because he had learned in detail that those skinny old men had also been brilliant when they were young. They were all extraordinary people, and some of them had even suppressed the core disciples of the Land of Outsiders. However, they were surpassed by the other party when they reached the second great realm.

However, after reaching the third great realm, one can only compete with the descendants of one's former opponents. Most people cannot endure such a mental journey.

Even for the top extraordinary people, the situation is not much better. The more glorious the early stage is, the greater the gap will be in the later stage. The feeling of loss without any progress in the long years is really scary.

The most important thing is that someone once wanted Liuyu Patriarch to be a strongman, which is extremely terrifying!

This topic was too heavy, so Qin Ming didn't say anything more.

He asked the two other questions, hoping to get answers. "Are the founders of the major sects such as Tathagata, Liuyu, Qingtian, and Yuqing the original founders?"

Qin Ming experienced some things in the Six Emperors' ancestral temple and met Lu Zizai. When he was practicing the "Heluo Sutra", he seemed to see the Six Emperors' ancestor in a half-awake state, and the terrifying giant shone with blood-stained golden light in the night fog behind him. He had too many puzzles.

Meng Xinghai became serious and said, "I think they should all have been replaced, because no one can live that long."

This was his answer. The shortest ancestral temple of each religion in Xinsheng Road had existed for more than a thousand years, and the oldest major religion had existed for more than three thousand years.

"There is also a saying that some ancestors are still the original person." Li Qingyun said.

Meng Xinghai said: "At the very least, the Tathagata must have changed. They themselves have the term 'the Tathagata of the present age', which refers to the ancestor of the present age, while the Tathagata of the past refers to the ancestor of the past."

Li Qingyun said: "It is rumored that a special scripture once abolished more than one ancestor."

Qin Ming was shocked when he heard that, and guessed that it might be the silk calligraphy!
Afterwards, the two helped Qin Ming research where to go in the end, and they chatted until late at night.

The next day, after Yu Que learned that Qin Ming had returned, she appeared in his room early in the morning.

"Master, you are finally back. During the time you were away, I was so bored and missed you so much. Now that you are going to study far away, please take me with you. Don't leave secretly again."

Qin Ming glanced at it and said, "I heard that you are hanging out with a bunch of weirdos and you don't want to leave. Are you going to marry another wife?"

"How is this possible? I am a loyal bird!" The bird cried out in grievance. It was now quite magical, its feathers were even more brilliant, and its beak and claws were shining with a crystal luster.

Qin Ming smiled and said, "Do you believe this yourself?"

Yu Que flapped its wings on its chest and said, "We Yu Que tribe only breed once a year in early spring. During this period, I will be loyal to my partner!"

Qin Ming did not comment, otherwise it would definitely say that this is the life of a bird, it is a great man, and its fatherly love is as deep as the sea.

Two days later, Qin Ming left the City Lord's Mansion, thinking that most of the people should have left.

However, by coincidence, he wanted to go find Xu Sheng, Sister Fenfang, and Wu Zheng for dinner, but on the way he met Zheng Maoze, Zeng Yuan, and others who were bandaged and had not left yet.

If Lu Zhenyi and Chen Bingyan were not here, Qin Ming really wanted to turn around and avoid them. The two of them had spoken for him last time in the Silver Vine Town of Black and White Mountains.

"Qin Ming, you are so mean. You came to your territory and hid from us!" Zheng Maoze said.

"Da Zheng, why are you covered in wounds?" Qin Ming asked. This was because he couldn't help but slapped Zheng Da Zhuang in the face during the melee in the Divine City.

All we can say is that the life-saving spiritual weapon on Zheng Maoze's body was very powerful. It even exploded his spiritual shield, spiritual armor, etc., and he escaped the disaster.

Zheng Maoze's face darkened when he heard this. Recently, every time he went out to compete for opportunities, he would have more than a dozen bones broken by some inexplicable guys. It was too miserable. He had a psychological trauma.

Zeng Yuan was similar to him, in a similar situation.

Qin Ming didn't want to pay any attention to these two people and started chatting with Lu Zhenyi and Chen Bingyan.

"Didn't you say you were going into seclusion?" Wang Caiwei was actually behind him and had not left yet. She was wearing a black dress, her long black hair was like a waterfall, her skin was like cream, she was as beautiful as before, loved to laugh, and was very bright and contagious.

"I just got out of quarantine today." Qin Ming responded.

In this situation, he inevitably had to treat everyone, so he chose a restaurant by the lake in the city and called Xu Sheng, Sister Fenfang and Wu Zheng.

But even so, it didn't stop Zheng Maoze from showing off his superiority in embarking on the path to immortality, and he really showed off.

"For people outside the world, a jade armor guard is enough to be passed down for three generations." Zheng Maoze told a joke here.

His meaning was very clear. The Jade Armor Guards were very strong and could be considered extremely powerful. However, it was difficult for them to advance in rank and they could not keep up with the cultivation speed of their master. They would be overtaken by the younger generations on the immortal path. The Jade Armor Guards could follow a family for three generations.

Yu Que blinked her big black gemstone eyes and asked curiously, "Brother, does your family raise jade turtles? In the end, did one turtle kill three generations of your family?"

"Who raises this bird? It's so... stupid that it can't talk!" Zheng Maoze wanted to slam the table.

"I live in the City Lord's Mansion." Yuque said.

Xu Sheng tried to smooth things over, saying, "Brother, have a drink. I want to tell you about my years as a traveling merchant. We often encountered dead bodies in the night fog, and occasionally saw them traveling alive in a prosperous city. The consequences were quite terrifying. Hey, I see you...hiss, you look familiar!"

Xu Sheng's face turned pale, he seemed confused, and finally left in a hurry.

Zheng Maoze was stunned, and then became furious. The meal could not be eaten, and the drinking party ended in a hurry.

"Qin Ming, just tell us if you need anything. We will definitely help if we can." Chen Bingyan said.

Qin Ming was really blunt and said, "If you find any extraordinary achievements in the outside world, please copy them for me if possible."

"Okay!" The group left.

That evening, someone sent him a package.

Qin Ming opened it and found a book under the layers of oil paper. On the cover were four big characters: Five Thunders Refining the Organs.

This technique is definitely not simple, he has heard of it before!

Who sent this?
Before Qin Ming could come to his senses, Meng Xinghai, with a serious look on his face, told him a secret report that had just been sent back by Li Qingyun, who had not yet left.

"This is incredible! Breaking news! Cao Qianqiu suffered a severe blow in Black and White Mountain. This is a major event that shook the Night Fog World!"
