Night without Borders

Chapter 182: The Way
Qin Ming stood at the door, feeling a sense of grandeur and a little bit unbelievable. At the end of the main hall, a glowing path actually led to the night sky.

A woman in white, with long black hair moving in the night wind, walked out from under the bright moon. She looked hazy and ethereal, as if she had fallen from the sky.

Is there such a person? Qin Ming didn't believe it.

Because Wu Yaozu's grandmother told him that several of the most powerful veterans who took the "Rainbow" route in the Fourth Jedi were unable to come down after flying to the moon.

How can this woman live on the moon?

Moreover, she did not make any effort at all, just walked along a path as if she was leisurely strolling in a garden, bathing in the moonlight, and arrived so easily!
"Flowers in the mirror and moons in the water, huh!" Qin Ming imitated Lu Zizai when they first met. His tongue burst into lightning and crackled, with electric lights interweaving, and his body was also releasing the most strong and yang energy.

However, nothing happened. On the path at the end of the main hall, the woman was still surrounded by bright light and walked slowly.

There was silence in the main hall.

From a distance, the woman was dressed in white, ethereal and elegant, and could be described as peerless in her beauty.

As I got closer, I saw that she was tall and her curves were vaguely visible under her white clothes. Her hair was shining a little, and everything looked perfect.

However, the only thing that could not be seen was the face. The long black hair covered it, and as it got closer, it not only destroyed the otherworldly beauty that had appeared earlier, but also gave it a spooky feel.

This easily makes people think of a female ghost in white walking out of the night fog.

Qin Ming's face was solemn.

He stepped into the hall, and then almost fell to the ground. He was suppressed by a force as heavy as a mountain and he really couldn't bear it anymore.

The source of the pressure is the glowing wall in the hall, where scriptures are engraved!

One of the founders of silk calligraphy, the old man who once visited this place, left behind scriptures in which every word is like a glowing mountain, pressing people so hard that they feel like they are suffocating.

Even a body as strong as Qin Ming's, which was as strong as the scorching sun, was about to collapse.

However, he tried hard to look up and stare at the wall, wanting to imprint all the words into his mind. Even though his body could not bear it anymore, he still stared.

"That old man actually scribbled graffiti here." The woman in white said to herself. She flicked the wall lightly and a thick white fog filled the air, covering the wall. Nothing could be seen.

The pressure on Qin Ming disappeared, but he was not happy. He said, "Senior, I want to read the words on the wall."

“You are here for this scripture,” said the woman in white.

"Yes!" Qin Ming nodded. It was better to be honest in front of creatures of this level.

"If you want to gain something here, that's fine, but it depends on your upper limit and what level you can reach." The woman in white had a soft voice and a good temper, without emitting any uncomfortable pressure.

However, Qin Ming was worried. If she had such a good temper, there wouldn't be so many people who could only enter but not leave.

"In the past, there were hundreds of schools of thought and dozens or even hundreds of paths advancing. However, most of them were just empty talk. How many are left now?" The woman in white still spoke in a gentle voice.

She paused for a moment, and said, "I no longer like to sit and talk about the Dao, I prefer to see the actual 'Dao', so there are many losers in the temple."

Qin Ming felt a chill on his back. If she were to go down in person, how could she "swing"? He didn't expect it to be so dangerous!

"Who is the strongest among the new students here?" asked the woman in white.

A shadow suddenly appeared, bowed and responded, "The old man who wrote on the wall and left the scriptures."

The woman in white stood at the end of the hall and said, "Forget about him. He is not here, and his thoughts have not been formed yet, so we cannot pull him out to fight."

She turned her head and looked at the spider web in the palace, and said, "Zhu'er, you have been listening to others discussing Taoism here for hundreds of years. Your Taoism is not very shallow. Go and learn from him."

Then, she looked under a wall and saw a footprint that had sunk the ground quite deep, with a pool of paste in the middle.

She pointed her hand, and a white light flew out, instantly pulling out a black spider from the footprints.

Qin Ming felt horrified because the spider's body was suspected to be as big as a mountain, but it was easily stepped on to death by someone in the past?
"Little Spider is walking on the path of God." The confused black spider responded. It was just a wisp of obsession and died many years ago.

"I haven't set any specific path. As long as you're in the first realm, you'll be fine," said the woman in white.

Then, the black spider grew to the size of a millstone in the wind, with a black gold luster and overflowing divine wisdom, as if it was wearing a layer of sacred armor.

Qin Ming had a solemn expression. This was a test in the main hall of the temple, an unprecedentedly dangerous place. Among the sages throughout the ages who came here, few could get out alive.

He attached great importance to it, and raised his Sky Light Energy to its limit, almost burning it, like a real sun rising and illuminating this place.

Of course he has to do his best!

In front, where the black spider is, there is thick fog and strands of silver threads are intertwined. Those are not tangible spider silk, but the expansion of its divine wisdom.

Instantly, Qin Ming felt his head slightly dizzy. Has the attack begun? It involves the spiritual realm!
However, this was only a momentary discomfort. In an instant, flames appeared outside his body, and the opponent's spiritual thread was ignited as if it were a tangible object.

Qin Ming respected his opponent very much. In such a place, he did not dare to hold back any tricks. This time, the Tianguang energy that had been reintegrated and unified exploded completely.

"boom!"

Like a landslide or tsunami, he was like a golden crow flying across the sky, illuminating the palace. Without the restraints of a physical body, he was even faster in this state, and could even take on the light from the sky.

A large golden spear appeared in Qin Ming's hand.

The big black spider was shocked. Its layers of spiritual ripples were actually burned to ashes by the golden glow blooming from the opponent's body. It could not be stopped at all.

This time, the divine wisdom on its body directly formed a spider web, covering the front.

Unfortunately, it was still useless. The network of the Shinto realm was burned by the scorching sun that came out of nowhere. It quickly shattered and collapsed, and turned completely into ashes.

Qin Ming held the Overlord Spear in both hands and chopped down immediately.

The giant black spider had no way to avoid it or hide from it, because this was an unprecedented force of sky light that could allow it to travel in the mind, as fast as the light of consciousness.

It could only take it hard, dancing its eight spider legs, each holding a demon-subduing pestle, a treasure vase, a thunder hammer, etc., and smashing forward together.

In an instant, there was thunder and lightning, and divine wisdom was everywhere.

In a blink of an eye, the giant spider turned into mush again and returned to the footprint.

Because it was swiftly chopped down by Qin Ming using the Overlord Spear.

The woman in white nodded and said, "Well, it's okay. Zhu'er is just the 'threshold' of this place. After you pass it, you will be qualified to compete with others and test your own limits."

Qin Ming was silent. He felt that although this woman looked clear and elegant and spoke softly, she seemed to be a trick. How many opponents would she arrange for him? He couldn't help but ask, "Senior, how many people do I need to compete with?"

He was frank and directly mentioned that his purpose of entering the temple was, firstly, to find the lost scriptures of his lineage, and secondly, to find a five-colored bottle.

The woman in white said, "If you have an outstanding performance, one fight will suffice, but if you are just so-so, you can only have more than one fight."

She waved her hand and summoned a handsome young man from the dried blood on the ground. The moment he appeared, pure yang consciousness flowed in his body.

Qin Ming was shocked. The first realm was the pure Yang consciousness aura? This was too outrageous!
He immediately said: "I think that among the most powerful sects in the outside world, no one can perform like this in the first realm."

“Haven’t you heard of the Pure Yang Body?” the woman smiled.

Qin Ming said: "The pure Yang body is only conducive to cultivation. It can give birth to a little pure Yang consciousness in advance. If it really becomes completely pure Yang, it will be a senior master."

He looked at the young man with a serious expression. He should be an old senior.

"I'm not from this street. Well, is that so?" the woman asked the young man.

"Yes! You killed me with your own hands back then." said the young man.

Qin Ming felt that the master of this temple was indeed a traitor.

If so, can he get out alive?

However, he still chose to believe Wu Yaozu's grandmother.

The woman in white said calmly, "That's because you are a piece of dregs. What you have learned is too outdated and useless for opening up new paths. It would be better for you to waste less resources and make way for the young people."

She waved her hand, and the young man turned back into a pool of dried blood on the ground.

She looked at Qin Ming and said, "Your out-of-body Sky Light Energy has been able to take shape, which is equivalent to the external Saint's method. This is a bit beyond the scope. How about this, I will bring your physical body here, and I will personally mold a human form, and let her fight your real body with the methods of your path."

Qin Ming suspected that she would take action personally!

The main temple, dark as a mountain in the night mist, is very majestic.

The creatures in the strange town could not see through the fog and could only vaguely see that the place was gradually getting brighter. The light and mist were hazy and the scene was quite magical.

At this moment, people were surprised to find that in a dilapidated courtyard at the other end of the town, a body wrapped in light mist flew across the sky and sank into the temple.

Many people stretched out their consciousness, spiritual light, and wisdom, trying to see the true appearance of the body, but were shaken away by the light fog, and each of them let out a muffled groan, and their sea of ​​consciousness seemed to be hit by a hammer, causing excruciating pain.

"I've already said that he's not from the Freshman Road. See, he finally used his consciousness to move his real body over to join the battle."

Some people firmly believe that he is a big shot from the outside world!
Someone retorted: "That's wrong. That's obviously my secret teaching method to guide the physical body."

"Perhaps, you all guessed wrong. He has been badly defeated now and is about to be completely wiped out. It was the Lord of the temple who locked up his real body." Others hold this view and believe that Li Wanqiu cannot get out.

In the main hall of the temple, Qin Ming returned to his physical body and felt better than ever. He had been able to use the Skylight smoothly earlier, but it was like a rootless duckweed.

Now, when he stepped on the ground, he seemed to be integrated with the whole world, in harmony with the pulse of heaven and earth, with a sense of following the laws of nature.

"Well, it seems that you are indeed quite good." The woman in white sincerely praised him for the first time, and then she added, "You are somewhat as charming as I was in my youth."

Qin Ming wondered, is this really an old senior? I always felt that her mentality was not like that!
"How many times have you been reborn as an alien?" asked the woman in white. She formed a body in the air and dots of white light shone through it.

"Seven new lives." Qin Ming told the truth.

"Well, she is also in the state of rebirth seven times." The woman in white smiled and waved.

Not far away, a figure came over. She had white hair, a thin body, and a hunchback. It turned out to be an old woman.

When Qin Ming saw her, he felt terrible. This was the old woman from the Cui family. Wasn't she broken into pieces?
The woman in white said, "Well, she was a dead person. I repaired her remains, and she still has some obsession. Okay, you can spar with her."

The old woman's eyes were a little dull at first, but after her persistence grew, she was able to actually recognize Qin Ming and gritted her teeth first.

Then, she understood the situation and her own condition, and she had many new insights and wonderful methods in her new life that she had never had before.

“Hehe, the temple, although I have never heard of it, but I can feel the various obsessions and resentments here. They can't get out, so you should stay here too, and become a dead person, and you can never return to the outside world!” The old woman rushed over like a madman.

Qin Ming activated the "Heluo Jing" and immediately the air was filled with mist. He then used the power of thunder and fire. With a loud bang, a bolt of lightning struck the old woman, causing her white hair to stand up.

I have to say that the woman in white is very mysterious. It's a bit scary that she temporarily raised the upper limit of the old woman's talent. Although her body turned black, it was not pierced.

However, Qin Ming had a clue in his mind. He was verifying whether this old guy was really in the emerging field. Now he felt relieved!
He was filled with rage, but he could still see this damn old woman. Now he could finally vent his anger and get rid of the knot in his heart.

Since he embarked on a new life, he had never been so miserable. He was blasted by someone's spiritual field and heavenly light power and experienced a fatal disaster!
The woman in white was lost in thought. The battle before her was a bit bloody, and it didn’t last very long.

Qin Ming came up with an attitude of risking his life, his fighting will was overflowing, his flesh and blood were boiling, he had never been so "dedicated" in fighting any other opponent.

At this moment, he was using a series of powerful moves, one killer move after another, his punches hitting the flesh and drawing blood, his kicks hitting the target and making bones crack.

The old woman was beaten like a rag bag, flying everywhere, with limbs missing, and in the blink of an eye she was unrecognizable.

"How is this possible?!" She felt that her current achievements were countless times better than when she was a girl. She had truly reached the highest level in the new field, enough to look down on the world and astonish the night fog world.

However, Qin Ming grabbed her wrist and treated her like a scarecrow. He used her like a sledgehammer and smashed her to the ground. The ground was covered with runes and was extremely hard.

In the end, her arms were torn off, her body was smashed into broken porcelain, and all the bones in her body were broken.

"Evil beast!" She was extremely angry and felt humiliated. With her status and position, she was treated like this. She was about to be smashed to pieces.

With a bang, her jaw broke and all her yellow teeth flew out.

Qin Ming looked at her with disgust, and at the last moment he raised his right foot. The whole sole of his foot was glowing brightly. He stomped down suddenly, and with a bang, he crushed her to pieces. No longer was she there.

"You're cheating!" The woman in white was a little unconvinced. That was a fighting tool she had made herself, how could it be defeated so quickly and so tragically?

Qin Ming faced her frankly and indicated that she could investigate.

"I'm itching to do something!" The woman in white came over with graceful lotus steps. Runes appeared under her feet and her whole body was shrouded in moonlight, sacred and transcendent.

The only incongruous thing is that her long black hair covers her face, which affects her extraordinary charm.

"Okay, as long as it's in the first realm, I'll be happy to accompany you!" Qin Ming said, feeling quite excited, and really wanted to weigh the master of the temple on the same level.
