Night without Borders

Chapter 196 Gathering Storm
Wu Chengwang and Qin Ming were both smiling. They were satisfied with each other and liked each other.

The atmosphere was harmonious, perhaps this was a situation where everyone was happy.

Soon, Qin Ming became alert and warned himself not to get carried away. This was a one-time deal and he would not come next time. What a joke.

He adjusted his expression efficiently and naturally, slowly faded his smile, immersed himself in the scriptures, pretended not to understand, and humbly asked: "Master Wu, why did the third page of this scripture suddenly become difficult?"

Wu Chengwang smiled and said, "The extraordinary skills are extremely profound. Ninety percent of people are not destined to master them and cannot comprehend them at all. Fortunately, after my guidance, the Golden Cicada Sutra is not that obscure. My disciples can practice it."

"Master Wu, you are indeed a master of the art of expansion." Qin Ming praised.

After reading this sutra, he sighed in his heart that Old Wu was no simple man. This manuscript carried the fruits of his hard work and indeed contained extremely profound insights.

His expression transitioned naturally, from laughing to smiling, then to seriousness, and then frowning, because he was ready to leave and there was no need to stay here for long.

Unexpectedly, Wu Chengwang found him quite pleasing to the eye. Not only did he give him some pointers, he also asked him to study in the courtyard, saying that the flowers and plants there could refresh the mind.

"Don't be anxious. Looking back on the past, I was also stumped for a long time when practicing this sutra." He said with a smile.

Over the years, anyone who came to him to learn extraordinary skills had a deep hatred and was never smiling. It was rare to have a smiling boy like him who could make him feel at ease.

Qin Ming was speechless.

The manuscripts he studied retained Wu Chengwang's strong emotions, and he had resonated with the two complete versions of "The Golden Cicada Sutra".

"Oh, it's too difficult. I feel like I laughed too early. This verse doesn't suit me." He began to make excuses.

The small courtyard was filled with medicinal herbs and exotic flowers, colorful and fragrant. Although the environment was elegant, Qin Ming really didn't want to stay there.

"You should practice like this. The golden cicada is an insect but not an insect. It is also a Zen scripture..." Wu Chengwang planned to play the long game. He didn't want him to get stuck at the first level, so he started to give him special training.

In the end, Qin Ming hesitated for a full hour before leaving with a frown on his face.

"What a good kid." Wu Chengwang looked at his back with a smile on his face. Unfortunately, his comprehension was a little slow. He shouted from behind, "Come earlier next time."

Xiao Wu said, "Brother, did you really spend six hundred gold coins? Our family's wealth is about to be gone again."

"Well, let's go back." Qin Ming nodded.

It was not until he returned to his residence and faced the sapphire lake that Qin Ming no longer concealed his smile and happily caught a few colorful dragon carps.

Not long after, he returned to the yard and started practicing!
Wu Yaozu exclaimed: "Hiss, brother, you are a true genius. You have learned the essence and become famous in such a short time!"

Because he felt that Qin Ming's temperament had completely changed, with a Zen charm. Even at the most critical moment, he heard the sound of cicadas that made people's minds clear and wanted to have an epiphany.

That was not a real sound, but the sound of nature produced by the resonance of Qin Ming's flesh, blood, internal organs and bones.

Qin Ming warned: "We are just new here, just pretend you didn't see anything. If that old guy finds out, he will probably be furious and even use force against us."

"I understand!" Wu Yaozu nodded, and then went to study his "Blood and Flesh Soul Locking Technique".

Qin Ming practiced the Golden Cicada Sutra all day long.

It not only involves revival, regeneration, and Zen, but the golden cicada power it produces is also very powerful. How can it become a miraculous achievement without any means to protect it?
Qin Ming pondered it carefully and felt more and more that this extraordinary work was profound.

"If you break it down, it can appear as dead power and living power, involving some changes in yin and yang, and finally forming the complete Golden Cicada Power. If this part can be practiced, you can be reborn from the brink of death."

Qin Ming's expression became solemn, because this was not the end yet. He combined Wu Chengwang's insights, added his own understanding, and continued to explore.

He believes that this is a treasure trove of wonders.

To this end, he used the light wheel composed of the five elements of magic skills he had practiced to simulate the golden cicada force.

"The cicada's chirping is as subtle as a thread, but continuous. The Zen spirit is immortal, and the golden cicada's power can be endless."

Qin Ming studied Zen rhyme and paid more attention to actual combat. For a moment, outside his body, drizzle was like silk, cicada wings were like swords, and the golden cicada power was endless.

"The golden cicada changes again, and its sound becomes like thunder. From this point on, the golden cicada's power is no longer feminine, but masculine and overbearing. Its light can even sublimate and illuminate all directions."

He studied it seriously, and tried to simulate it with other heavenly energies, but failed. At present, he simply couldn't do it and only made a lot of noise in the courtyard.

In general, there are two versions of the Golden Cicada Sutra, one that focuses on the rebirth of the physical body, tearing apart the old shell and being reborn.

The other version focuses on changes, etc., interpreting all kinds of magical skylight power, and is more inclined to actual combat.

"Beyond the miraculous work of the Golden Cicada Sutra, there is also the Divine Cicada Sutra, which is already in the category of secret books and is at the same level as the Resident World Sutra."

Even the legendary "people from another world" may have some connection with the "Shen Chan Jing".

Qin Ming sighed secretly, every miraculous achievement has a higher level follow-up, this is truly "orderly inheritance", which makes him quite yearning and looking forward to it.

Next, he practiced the Golden Cicada Sutra hard and actively prepared for his ninth rebirth.

This is to accumulate knowledge and consolidate the foundation. With each additional extraordinary skill, his strength will increase a lot, because it can trigger a qualitative change in Tianguang!
Moreover, for his last rebirth, he wanted to make some changes and not follow the original path.

However, he has to practice the Golden Cicada Power first!
While Qin Ming and Xiao Wu were quietly practicing and accumulating their Taoism, the outside world was very lively, with countless people discussing it. As expected, the duel between Ling Yu and Xin Youdao last night made the front page and was reported in various ways. The light of the genius broke through the night fog and illuminated all places.

Although Xin Youdao was defeated, the night report did not belittle him, but gave him high praise. And Ling Yu was even more so, he was finally called the title of Young Ancestor directly, without any more concealment.

"Ling Yu will test his sword all over the world. When his realm is improved, he will probably fight with those immortal species and god species."

"Of course he will rise quickly if he advances on both paths. I look forward to that day!"

……

The whole Kunling city was talking about it.

However, the two parties had mixed feelings and were not as happy as they had imagined. They both worked very hard to practice!
Qian Chuan looked at the newspaper in his hand with a wonderful expression, and wanted to say: No one knows the truth better than me!
He looked towards the lakeside. In the house shaded by green bamboos and golden vines, lived two mysterious young men who had once defeated the two geniuses who were highly praised in the newspapers.

If this gets out, it will definitely cause a huge sensation!

Qin Ming and Wu Yaozu lived a fulfilling life. They practiced martial arts and carefully learned about the news related to the Third Jedi. They wanted to know when to hunt the auspicious beast.

"That plateau is rich in various medicinal herbs and contains some special secret realms, as well as a large number of demons and monsters. When the time comes, people from all walks of life and people of different realms will have a chance to take part."

This was an actual combat, a military training, and even more so a small-scale rehearsal for the great development deep in the night fog world.

Qin Ming and Wu Yaozu learned that various Taoist temples and schools were surveying the plateau and would divide the area into more detailed boundaries.

"Every participant will bring a few memory crystals. They are not required to record their whereabouts throughout the entire process, but the scene of killing demons and monsters at the last moment must be included to ensure the authenticity of the record."

Among the precautions, there is a serious warning not to engage in internal conflicts. If someone violates the rules, others can attack them together to ensure legitimate defense.

"The first realm, the second realm..." Qin Ming saw the rough sketch that had just appeared. The terrain was complex, and the areas where people in each realm moved were marked.

Obviously, the further you go into the plateau, the higher the level of the demons and monsters will be.

"Who are we afraid of in the first realm? We can also try our hand at the second realm!" Xiao Wu rubbed his hands, unable to wait.

Qin Ming reminded him, "Don't be arrogant. In the area of ​​the second realm, there must be near-immortal species, divine species, and alien species."

Kunling City has been getting more and more lively these days. Why did Sun Taichu bring Cui Chonghe with him? The goal is clear!
Recently, people from the Pure Land, Immortal Land, Yang Land, as well as the Esoteric Buddhism, and those unknown immortal species and god species have been arriving one after another.

The main reason is that this auspicious beast is really too extraordinary. The essence of its blood can prolong the life of a patriarch-level figure, and the benefits to the younger generation will naturally be even greater!

Wu Yaozu nodded and said, "Brother, strive to be reborn nine times in this plateau development, or even enter the outer saint realm. Then we can go to the second realm to take a look and get more benefits!"

In Kunling City, people were talking about Ling Yu and Xin Youdao, and were also discussing which near-immortals had arrived and which god had quietly appeared.

Ordinary people listened with great interest, while experts felt that the situation was turbulent and it would be difficult for this area to remain peaceful. Big events would happen in the near future.

"I, the little bird, have traveled thousands of miles across mountains and rivers, and finally arrived at Kunling City with Princess Purple Lightning Beast and her companions." A talking bird, carrying a small bag, got off a huge spaceship with Purple Lightning Beast, a four-tusked white elephant and other monsters.

"Master of the mountain, I don't know how you are doing. I, Xiaoque, have made obvious progress recently!" Yuque flapped its wings and flew forward. Now she has become the confidant of the Purple Lightning Beast.

"Xiao Qin has disappeared for a long time. Did something really happen on the spaceship?" Li Qingyun also came with a frown. Meng Xinghai asked him to find Qin Ming, and he also wanted to see Li Qingyue.

……

Ling Yu was upset. After calming down for a few days, he still couldn't stand it. He found Tang Jin again and strongly asked her to arrange a decisive battle between him and the young man from Black and White Mountain.

Last time, he was educated and scolded, but Tang Jin did not agree.

"Have the five-colored thunder force and the four symbols been condensed? Have you mastered the art of fishing for the light of the sky with a ray of pure yang consciousness as a seed? Have you mastered the superposition and fusion of the miraculous skills?" Tang Jin asked him.

Ling Yu was full of fighting spirit and said, "Senior Sister, I have mastered all these and have perfected them. If I can't fight him, I won't be able to sleep and my Taoism won't improve at all."

Qin Ming has already mastered the Golden Cicada Power. For ordinary people, it takes half a lifetime to practice and a lifetime to study such a miraculous skill. But for him, it is obviously not that difficult.

"I need to learn another amazing skill!" he said to himself.

In the past, every time he was reborn, he would use a miraculous skill combined with several kinds of Tianguang Jin.

This time, he didn't want to practice the conventional Tianguang Jin anymore, but was going to try to see if he could practice and integrate the two great skills at the same time.

"Next, which extraordinary feat should I choose and how should I obtain it?" Qin Ming frowned.

After careful study, he liked the "Dragon Snake Sutra" very much. This is the miraculous skill that Master Qingtian practiced during his ninth rebirth. It can not only help people to be reborn from the dead, but also help them to develop the incomparably powerful Tianguang Force.

The Master of the Sky is said to be able to hold up the sky with his hands and has unparalleled power!

Qin Ming felt that this ancestor’s rebirth path was quite extraordinary, and the scriptures he practiced at certain key points were worthy of serious study.

"The Dragon and Snake Sutra is not easy to obtain. It is collected in Shanhe Academy, but it is not open to the public." He wondered whether he should go to other Taoist temples to obtain it.
