Night without Borders

Chapter 221 The Journey to the Secret Realm Ends [Two Chapters Combined into One]

There was a cup of tea on Qin Ming's desk, which was the reward he got after defeating Sun Jingxiao.

However, he didn't need to drink it right now.

"Cui Chonghe?" Qin Ming frowned. After hearing this name, his mood suddenly became not so good.

Most of the pressure he felt at the moment and the grudges he had made were related to the Cui family.

Just like in the early days, Li Qingxu targeted him and wanted to kill him because of his identity as the eldest son of the Cui family.

He was a big victim throughout the whole process. He suffered on behalf of others, but was still troubled by the Cui family afterwards.

The real owner, Cui Chonghe, was even more arrogant. He regarded him as a servant raised by the Cui family and believed that it was right for him to die in his place and suffer the disaster.

Now the Cui family and the Li family have stopped fighting, but he is still constantly implicated.

From the Cui family trying to pin him to death in the remote area of ​​Black and White Mountain, to inviting Yu Zhuohan from the Esoteric Sect to compete with him, to the suspected interference in the selection of disciples by the Liuyu Ancestral Temple, every incident made Qin Ming furious.

When he was on the Suzaku spacecraft, he was attacked by the old woman guarding the "land" in the sky. After being "broken and safe", he hated the Cui family to the extreme.

"Is it a real fight? I really want to touch him." Qin Ming said.

His resentment towards the Cui family had accumulated to a certain extent. Even when the Cui family members were trying to be gentle with him, they would always ask him to be Cui Chonghe's bodyguard.

Even people like Cui He and Cui Shuning, who lost to him in the "Yi Mu Jing", felt that it was too late for him to become a Jade Armor Guard or a Divine Armor Guard. They believed that as a freshman, his cultivation speed was far behind and he could not catch up with Cui Chonghe, who was close to being an immortal. Even if they ran at full speed behind him, it would be difficult to see his back.

"Well, it's a bit too much. How can I be uneasy? I should calm down." Qin Ming realized that whenever the Cui family was mentioned, his temper would become particularly strong.

The Heavenly Demon Mirror told Cui Chonghe in a cold and dull voice that his challenge was related to his talent.

"I have just finished practicing the Golden Cicada Sutra, and my body is recovering from it. It would be a pity if I don't put it into actual combat." Qin Ming said, very disappointed.

He naturally knew that Cui Chonghe was gifted. He was sent to a pure land outside the world at the age of three and became a monk. His realm surpassed that of his peers.

"Let him wait until I finish my rebirth." Qin Ming said.

Half a day later, his body was no longer hot and the transformation was completely completed.

Afterwards, he began to integrate the Golden Cicada Power using the "Dragon and Tiger Combination" method, honing it repeatedly and tempering it a thousand times.

His flesh and blood were crystal clear, and a large pill appeared in his chest and abdomen, followed by a human form... and then it exploded, rushing to all parts of the body, and the entire palace was filled with lightning and thunder.

He felt very fulfilled. After integrating the seventh miraculous skill, this was a new life for Tianguang Jin!
He felt the changes in himself and felt that he was very strong. He wished he could beat Cao Qianqiu again in the first realm.

"Sure enough, the records from all sides are not false. The higher the initial foundation of the new life path and the deeper the accumulation, the greater the reward you will get in the ninth new life!"

Qin Ming already understood why there was a "relay newborn".

He guessed that some ancestors might have experienced this as well.

Ninety percent of the young men who enter the secret world are digging for elixirs, while the opportunities for the seed-level characters who are able to set out are not in the real world.

"Hey, another immortal road is approaching the demon road." Someone was surprised to see this scene.

Immediately, this caused a sensation.

People know that the young demon "Yao Yi" is about to become famous in the night fog world!
In one day, he collided with the seeds of near immortality continuously. No matter what the result was, it was a brilliant feat.

"That's Cui Chonghe!" someone exclaimed.

In mid-air, a fairy road covered with clouds and mist merged with a demon road. There was a palace on it, and a figure stood at the entrance.

Cui Chonghe's feathered robe fluttered, and his body was surrounded by wisps of white mist and flowing with drops of light rain. He seemed to have cut off all worldly affairs and transcended the world.

Although they couldn't see clearly, some disciples from the Pure Land recognized him.

"It's really Brother Cui. He stood up at the critical moment and is responsible!" someone praised.

Cui Chonghe is very famous. He had an epiphany in the Pure Land at the age of three. Many people say that he will become an immortal in the future and ultimately seek the truth.

The disciples of the Immortal Road instantly became active, as if they were standing in the clouds and felt a sense of honor.

"What is a gifted person? Senior Brother Cui is one of the representatives. It is said that he may have the foundation to surpass the ancestors. He will definitely be a great figure in the future!"

"I've also heard that Senior Brother Cui is extremely talented and has a talent that surpasses that of Grandmaster Tuolu!"

Not long ago, the seeds on the road to immortality suffered two defeats in a row, which really hurt the morale and made these disciples silent for a while. But now they are all excited.

The demons' expressions changed slightly, showing a hint of worry.

Recently, the situation on the plateau has been very tense. As the opposing party, this group of young demons have naturally studied the celebrities in the opposing camp.

Some demons also know Cui Chonghe.

"The situation is not good. If he really has a talent that surpasses Master Tuolu, then it will be bad!"

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the young man on the Demon Road did not show up at all and did not leave the palace where he was.

It wasn't a close combat, so Qin Ming was too lazy to meet Cui Chonghe.

"Well, the genius of my demon race should be treated in this way. How about being the face of this generation of immortals? I won't meet you if I say so!"

Many demons think that this is how a demon should be once it has a personality.

The disciples of the Immortal Road were immediately dissatisfied, thinking that the demons were too arrogant. They didn't even walk out of the gate of the giant palace, which was really frivolous.

"Cui Chonghe, is he as strong as the rumors say?" The people from the secret sect were also discussing.

"It's hard to say, but judging from all the signs, it should be very powerful."

……

Qin Ming sat quietly in the Demon Palace and asked the Heavenly Demon Mirror, how would the other party compete?
The Heavenly Demon Mirror informed him: "On the road ahead, there are puzzles left by previous travelers. He also left one, and brought it here now for you to solve. If you can solve it successfully, you win."

Qin Ming realized something and asked, "If I fail, can I send him a paper and let him solve it?"

"That's it."

This broken mirror has different names on different roads. On the immortal road it is naturally called the immortal mirror.

At this time, Cui Chonghe stood on the Immortal Road, with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance. The other party did not show up, but he was not angry, but just smiled faintly.

"It's this one. If he can master it, I will lose." He pointed his hand, and fine words and patterns appeared, reflected in the void.

After being manifested by the Heavenly Demon Mirror, the jade table in front of Qin Ming finally became shining and engraved with pictures and texts.

"This is too much!" Qin Ming's face darkened.

What he had guessed just now has now been verified to be true.

This is the new method of the first realm, and it originally belonged to him, but the old silk book was seized by the Cui family, and they have not returned it to him until now.

It is conceivable that the extremely talented people in the Cui family have all studied his family silk book, and even Cui Chong and this immortal know the meaning of the scripture.

Then, Qin Ming suspected that this person might also be practicing Tianguang Jin, and had taken more than one path, so he probably had strong talents in various fields.

No one knew the situation of silk calligraphy better than him, and Cui Chonghe did give him a difficult problem.

"Could it be that he suspected me and did this on purpose? That shouldn't be the case."

Qin Ming frowned. If he practiced silk calligraphy here, the consequences would be very serious. By then, it would not just be Cao Qianqiu who would be thinking about him.

Moreover, his identity is likely to be exposed, and the Demon Road cannot be concealed.

Qin Ming's face did not look very good. It was really hard for him to be happy when facing the Cui family.

He also took out a unique teaching to embarrass Cui Chonghe? How is that possible? Isn't this aiding the enemy?
Cui Chonghe demonstrated this because he was certain that no one could master silk calligraphy on their own.

"I'll write one too. Let him comprehend it. If he can't master it, I'll admit defeat." Qin Ming nodded and wrote in the air with the Skylight Force.

When Cui Chonghe saw the picture and text, his smile froze. He frowned and said, "Is this also possible? Isn't it against the rules?"

The other party copied out the essence of the first level of silk calligraphy intact and sent it back.

Xianjing's voice was calm as he said, "He thinks there is something wrong with this dharma and it won't work. You are misleading him with the wrong meaning of the sutra. Please practice first."

"I am taking the path of immortality," said Cui Chonghe.

Qin Ming responded: "Since you don't understand the path of the demon race and the method of rebirth, don't show off your skills. I said that there is a problem with this mental method. Are you dissatisfied?"

This duel was a lot of noise but little results. Although it ended in a draw, it felt like the end of something.

"No reward will be given for useless exchanges and communication. If it happens again next time, you will be punished directly." This is the evaluation of the Heavenly Demon Mirror.

In the end, Cui Chonghe left with a flick of his sleeves, very dissatisfied.

Qin Ming didn't smile either, which was not what he expected.

The Cui family didn't take his family heirloom silk book seriously and took it out to compete with others casually. They didn't even return it to him, which made him even more depressed.

He sat there quietly, and said in a deep voice: "This matter cannot be resolved peacefully, we must come to your house for a fight!"

"Someone is challenging you..." The Heavenly Demon Mirror transmitted the message.

"It can't be someone from the Immortal Road again. This isn't the end, is it?" Qin Ming was already in a bad mood, and now he naturally had the urge to fight.

"Yes, it's the person from the Immortal Road - Li Qingyue." The Heavenly Demon Mirror informed.

"Ah, that's okay, let's have a discussion." Qin Ming said immediately.

Tian Yao Jing said: "She wants to discuss the Dao."

"No problem." Qin Ming nodded with a smile.

Tian Yao Jing said: "You are a brave and pioneering descendant. You are so kind to your competitors and have never shown any murderous intentions. You deserve praise."

Qin Ming smiled and said, "Well, I also yearn for the immortal path and long to sit and discuss the Tao. Moreover, I have already caused a big stir. If I continue to fight, not only will the gods be jealous of talents, but Cao Qianqiu and Sun Taichu may also come to save me in person."

"What's going on?" Some people in the outside world were surprised. The immortal road and the demon road were separated, and neither side was damaged, and they got through this game safely.

People soon began to speculate whether this would end in a draw.

“Hiss, Senior Brother Cui should have the potential to be a pioneer, but he can only maintain his undefeated status without any hope of winning?” “Yao Yi, your name will spread far and wide. You have defeated Li Qingxu and Sun Jingxiao, and now you have tied with Cui Chonghe. You are truly a demon god!”

Apparently, many people still don’t know that Li Qingxu’s teacher Cao Qianqiu once played as a substitute.

Those who really know the inside story have now kept their mouths shut and dare not make too many comments on this matter.

Then, people saw that another immortal road was close to the demon road and they connected there.

This time, all parties in the secret world were in an uproar.

The demon race, in particular, were reaching a climax, as if their own lives had reached their peak at this moment.

Is the demon boy going to fight against all the immortals alone?

So far, he has not lost a single battle.

"Li Qingyue, it turned out to be her. She has no background and has only been in the Pure Land for more than two years. She fought her way up completely on her own strength, obtained something close to immortality, was recognized by the old guys, and became an immortal seed."

Someone spotted a figure in the mist, dressed in white, with long black hair fluttering, standing in front of a huge palace.

"Fairy Li is indeed responsible. Even when Cui Chonghe failed to win and the game ended in a tie, she still dared to go on the field. She has a strong belief that no one else can do it better than her!"

"As expected of an immortal who has fought his way up from among many disciples step by step. He is determined and fearless!"

When Li Qingyue appeared at this time, he was immediately praised by many disciples of the Immortal Road.

Then, two giant palaces in the sky approached rapidly, emitting brilliant light that submerged the place. The rhyme of Tao flowed, and nothing could be seen.

Several months later, Qin Ming saw Li Qingyue again and stood up to greet her in the Demon Palace.

She was dressed in white, without any makeup, and her face was delicate and impeccable. She stood there like a bright moon breaking through the clouds, and the white ribbon tied around her slender waist fluttered gently.

"Fairy Li, please take a seat!" Qin Ming spoke. Even though they were very familiar with each other, he still followed the rules for fear of causing any trouble in front of the Heavenly Demon Mirror.

Li Qingyue nodded, her white clothes were whiter than snow, and her whole body seemed to be glowing from head to toe, illuminating this demon palace. Her body was clear and elegant.

Even Qin Ming had an illusion that he was somewhat distant from her, and felt that she would eventually cut off her worldly ties and ascend to heaven.

Li Qingyue smiled and said, "I can't lose anymore on the Immortal Road. I can only win. If you lose, or it's a tie, I will personally give you an item."

Then, the two began to talk about the law and the meaning of the scriptures in a proper manner, arguing about which was stronger, the path of demons or the path of immortals, and which was more advantageous, the power of heavenly light or the light of consciousness, and they discussed the Tao in a serious manner.

There is no doubt that Li Qingyue recognized him!

As the communication deepened, the two stopped pretending to fight, but talked about the truly profound meaning of the scriptures. Qin Ming told her the "Destiny Changing Sutra" and explained his own experience.

Li Qingyue had taught him a mysterious scripture in the Mountain and River Spirit Nest, which could be used to cultivate spiritual consciousness. Now he focused on discussing this scripture and then went on to talk about the subsequent chapters.

In the end, both of them felt that they had gained a lot, and when talking about the confrontation between Heavenly Light Force and Consciousness Spiritual Light, they both looked thoughtful and carefully pondered various actual combat situations.

As time passed, the outside world became impatient, but the two roads had not yet separated and there was no sign of the two people.

"Will Fairy Li be okay?" Some people were worried. After all, the young demon was very ferocious.

"What kind of fight are they having? Why don't they show themselves?"

After a long time, Li Qingyue in the huge palace stood up and said, "I have benefited a lot. How about we end it in a draw?"

"Of course I'd love to." Qin Ming responded.

He sighed softly. He and his old friend were rarely together and apart for a long time. To the outside world, it seemed that time was very long, but in fact, not much had passed.

Besides, it was not appropriate for the two of them to say anything more here.

"I said, if I lose, I will lose an item to you." Li Qingyue handed over a piece of extremely pure crystal, with a big pill sealed inside.

"This is..." Qin Ming was surprised.

It can be as big as a longan and is divided into two colors, black on the left and white on the right. Faintly, you can see the shadows of a dragon and a tiger entwined. It actually brings with it a strange sight.

He immediately knew what it was, the Dragon and Tiger Elixir!

In the past, at the ruins of Luofu Fairy Mountain, Li Qingyue used her spiritual eyes to discover that Cui Chonghe was possessed and illegally participated in the battle. She pulled him out, threatened him and demanded the Dragon and Tiger Medicine to force him to submit.

This is a kind of great medicine that Sun Taichu personally collected various natural treasures and refined.

Li Qingyue said: "The law is not complete, the road is not exhausted, and all roads are still imperfect. In this great era, all roads are expanding forward. I hope that your road will be brilliant in the future and open up new paths. When the road is blocked, this pill can temporarily pave the way and increase the speed of cultivation."

She tactfully told Qin Ming the function of this big pill.

If he were not asked to take it now, his progress in the first stage of the New Life Path would be rapid, even faster than other paths, but when he reached the second stage, there would be a cliff drop.

She was worried about his future, so she gave him the Dragon and Tiger Elixir, hoping that he could go further and not slow down too much.

However, this powerful medicine is only useful at a certain point, so in the end, she could only sigh.

Qin Ming watched her go away. The background gradually became blurred and disappeared into the depths of the palace on the Immortal Road.

There is no doubt that Li Qingyue was very good to him, but Qin Ming was a little distracted because she was becoming more and more worldly, devoted to Taoism and close to becoming an immortal.

He remembered what Wang Caiwei said, that one day, Li Qingyue would never set foot in the secular world again and it would be difficult for them to meet again.

"In the future, she will either lead the outside world to the utmost glory, make all the blessed lands into caves and heavens, and leap into the void. Or she will lead all the people outside the world to die in the depths of the night fog world in the era of great development, and the road will be blocked and cut off."

Although Qin Ming was unwilling to believe those words, when he saw Li Qingyue now, he couldn't help but have associations, because he always felt that she was getting farther away.

Everything was fine with Li Qingyue to him, but he thought of what the Heavenly Demon Mirror had mentioned, that being too perfect would lead to destruction, and he couldn't help but frown.

"After all, I am not experienced enough, so I tend to have wild thoughts. If I can beat Cao Qianqiu to pieces in the real world, what do I have to worry about? What is there to be afraid of in the depths of the Night Fog World? I can just drill my way through it."

……

Outside, a group of people were in a daze. After the two roads separated this time, each of them expanded slightly. Although not much, it was obvious that they could see the light rising and the Taoist charm becoming stronger.

“Is this also a draw?”

Previously, Cui Chonghe's draw was uneventful, so why is there such a scene now?
"Although the discussion ended in a draw, everyone gained something and they will be rewarded." This was the evaluation of the Heavenly Demon Mirror.

It served two cups of tea, one for each person, and it believed that this was a meaningful exchange and communication.

Qin Ming calmed down. On this road, he burned incense, drank tea, and sat cross-legged on a cushion. He comprehended the several extraordinary skills he had mastered and practiced new killer moves, such as the Fire Shuttle and the Wu Ji Seal.

At the same time, he also took the opportunity to practice the "Immortal Butterfly Sutra" here, and sure enough, he obtained the original version of the demon clan, which was supplemented by the Heavenly Demon Mirror.

However, he did not refine the demon seeds again for fear of being kicked out of this path.

Then, he went to Xinsheng Road, looking for opportunities along the way.

In this way, he changed between the two roads repeatedly and rushed forward.

During this period, no one challenged him again, because everyone knew that he was not easy to deal with and that challenging him would only bring humiliation upon themselves.

"One person from my demon clan can defeat all kinds of seeds!" A demon boasted.

"Looking at the Night Mist world, he may be the most powerful young demon!"

"Forget it. Although Yao Yi is very strong, I don't think he can make it into the top three because some of the people in it are too special. It seems that the Yao Zu is going back to his old ways. Who can defeat him in this case?"

The outside world was in turmoil and had nothing to do with Qin Ming. He just focused on his journey and then entered the puzzle area. Seeing the words covering the entire wall, he tried to solve it.

Finally, he discovered that some of them were definitely left by great figures. This was not only the path taken by the young man, but also giants who had passed through here. Some of the unsolved questions were too profound to be understood at all.

Moreover, different paths and different problems are like crossing boundaries, which is really difficult for latecomers.

Later, Qin Ming vaguely saw a broken road, and there was heavy fog ahead, making it difficult to go forward.

After his ninth rebirth, his eyes changed. When he concentrated, heat surged and he was able to break through the foggy area.

Just ahead, there is a huge Cicada Palace, which is even larger than a giant mountain.

Qin Ming was shocked and looked at it carefully. Rather than calling it a huge palace, it was more like a primitive cicada shell that had been decorated to become a palace.

"Could this be the shell left behind by the legendary cicada?" he guessed.

It is recorded in "Kunling Class God Records": The old cicada splits open, and the new cicada comes out, flapping its wings and flying far away. Another class of gods either dies or is reborn.

Qin Ming looked into the distance and saw that behind the giant palace, the entire cicada shell was cut off by a sharp weapon, leaving only half of it, and the decorated giant palace and the road were also cut off.

"Senior?" Qin Ming called out to the Heavenly Demon Mirror.

Canjing responded: "Oh, I almost forgot. I have reached the end. The road ahead is unpredictable. It has been broken. There is no destiny to arrange anything for me."

It tells you that you can leave.

Moreover, it mentioned that it would ensure that the geniuses from each path could be dispersed and exit safely.

"My situation is special, so please help me, senior." Qin Ming asked.

He beat Cao Qianqiu, or to be exact, beat him to death. He was worried that someone was blocking him outside.

"Okay!" Tian Yao Jing agreed.

Finally, people saw Yao Yi flying across the sky, carried by a golden bird of prey, flying out of the secret world, as if traveling through time and space, quickly heading deep into the plateau and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

That was naturally not his real body, but just a means of the Heavenly Demon Mirror.

At this time, Qin Ming's true body fell into the secret world. He quickly restored his original appearance, changed back into his previous clothes, and turned into Shen Wubing again.

At the same time, he forced out three demon seeds, refined them with rags, and washed away all the demonic energy, leaving not a single trace, before wrapping them up.

In the outside world, a fierce war had already broken out. Pu Heng was fighting with a giant monster, and the fierce fight shook the entire land.

This land was stained with blood, the blood of demons and Pu Heng's blood. Both were injured.

On that day, in the pure land outside the world, Cao Qianqiu came out of seclusion and tore the night sky with blood!
A beam of pure yang consciousness from Pu Heng personally rushed back to Fangwai Pure Land to report to him.

"The secret world has no need to exist anymore, and that plateau should be washed in blood!" Cao Qianqiu set off that day.

He crossed the night fog world and rushed to Kunling in person.

Everyone was shocked because he was full of murderous intent. A bloody sun illuminated the mountains and rivers along the way, as if the daytime era had arrived, but it was stained with blood!
