Night without Borders

Chapter 227: Follow the Main Force to Pan for Gold [Two Chapters in One]

Kunling, the entire territory is expanding and the area has become much larger.

Now, in the dark land, the most talked about news exchanged between different cities is Kunling.

From the disappearance of the ancestor, to the blood of the auspicious beast glowing in the black fog, to the revival of ghosts and monsters, to the occasional appearance of classics from old times, it has attracted worldwide attention.

Different groups of people have different feelings. The dynasties and major religions are wary and even terrified because they have understood the truth about that land.

What if Yujing reappears? Back then, even the creatures described in the "Kunling Class God Records" fled because of that city.

As for the people below, they were also shocked and frightened, but as time went by, they gradually accepted it.

Many people even got excited and flocked there, wanting to "pan for gold" because more and more good things appeared.

Qionghua City, like a shining pearl under the night sky, is a huge city on the border of Dayu.

Qin Ming and Xiao Wu came back again, retreating here from the frontier town.

They didn't know enough about Kunling and almost got into an accident. They had to do their homework in this prosperous place and didn't even want to be lone rangers anymore.

Because, as far as they knew, no one in the Fangwai Land or the core disciples of the secret religion had died suddenly.

"The casual cultivator Qi Chaohui entered from the direction of Dayu and accidentally discovered the blood of an auspicious beast. It is said that he achieved nirvana that day and his strength improved greatly. It is really enviable!"

The latest news was being discussed everywhere in the city, and people showed longing when they mentioned those opportunities and fortunes.

Qin Ming and Xiao Wu each grabbed a string of "turtle honey" and ate them while walking along the busy main street.

Soon, they entered the teahouse, which was the place with the most up-to-date information.

Sure enough, whether it is individual cultivators or large sects, they are all sparing no effort to organize various teams for expeditions.

"The people from Fangwai Yangtu and Ertu have joined forces. Many of them are marching from the direction of the Dari Dynasty and have set their sights on some ancient building areas!"

It is said that there are scriptures in that kind of place, which are ringing by themselves, shining brightly under the ruins and illuminating the text.

However, there are monsters in such places, which are extremely dangerous.

"Why do I feel like these are traps sprinkled with honey to lure us in, plow through the Kunling territory, and further unlock the seal?"

“There is indeed such speculation among the top leaders.”

However, all parties could not resist the temptation and set out on their journey, because whether in the Yintu or in the ruins, there were opportunities that were hard to resist.

It is said that a young master of the esoteric religion found a secret book in an underground palace. The book was far superior to ordinary secret books and talked about various secrets on the road to becoming a god.

This incident made some masters of the esoteric sect unable to sit still, so they personally took action.

Not only that, the appearance of Yin Tu and the revival of monsters are opportunities in themselves for some old guys.

Those evil spirits that devoured human flesh, blood and spirits were confirmed to be human beings, walking different paths. They were targeted by some older people whose lifespans were limited, and they were very eager.

"Do you think that those who attacked you were all ghost cultivators? You are wrong. Some of them are normal people pretending to be ghosts."

Right now, the Kunling area is in chaos. It is hard to tell who is a human or a ghost. Some people have sneaked in, trying to figure out how to get around in the dark on the ghost road, and some are even pretending to be ghosts.

Qin Ming and Xiao Wu looked at each other and realized that it was necessary to return to the huge city in the border area to find out the latest inside information.

This teahouse is very large, and the tables and chairs are polished to a shine. It has both private rooms and open areas. It is very popular now, and many people are willing to get together to exchange information.

A middle-aged man said, "I advise you not to act alone. If you follow a big force, you will get meat to eat. If you act alone, you are just giving meat to the ghosts!"

The person next to him poured him tea and asked him humbly and politely why he said that.

The middle-aged man said, "It's obvious that one person can't compete with a large force. They have a large number of people and have roughly figured out the terrain map. They have a rough idea of ​​where the dangers are and where they can pass through."

"Are they so efficient?" Many people were surprised.

"It does not include the heart of Kunling."

Even so, it is amazing enough. Following them is much better than going it alone.

At the same time, some people also revealed how the powerful forces obtain opportunities and why they are much more efficient than ordinary people.

“If the ancestor were to come down and face those ruined palaces and temples, he would just dig through them. No matter what kind of ghosts or monsters there are, even if the ghost ancestor from the underworld comes out, he would not be afraid of them.”

Of course, it is hard to say how many ancestors are left now, and they are not very interested in ordinary opportunities, but are more concerned about whether Yujing will be born.

"A normal large organization is one that combines the old and the young and works together. This is the best way to achieve the best results." Someone explained what those big religions do.

In those ruins, there are ghosts from all levels, some are sleeping in the underground soil, and others seem to be sleeping in small overlapping spaces.

"Blood food" at different levels will awaken monsters at different levels.

Therefore, in order to avoid high-end combat forces from engaging in bloody battles, some large organizations sent out some very powerful young men to search underground palaces, ruined palaces and other places.

They are all outstanding disciples, and they can deal with most of the "little devils" they cause on their own.

The older generation of people are responsible for keeping watch nearby, so they can take timely action if anything unexpected happens.

In many ruins, accidents would occur when young men tried to escape with the "opportunity".

Even if the old ghosts in the Yintu or special space are not interested in these "blood foods", some of them will revive and block.

If there is such a crisis, the old guys will move out quickly, block them, retreat in an organized manner, and fight in coordination, and there are rarely major casualties.

Many lone rangers were speechless for a long time after hearing this. This was too unfriendly to them. It seemed difficult to survive in Kunling without joining some big organizations.

A young man said, "Why do I feel more and more that this is like an invisible hand deliberately arranged this to give future generations an opportunity to explore it?"

He was not the only one who had doubts, many people had similar views.

Some monsters actually carry secret books with them, and in those ruined palaces and underground palaces, occasionally priceless secret books are dug out, which is too tempting.

It is also because of this that a large number of people come here to "pan for gold".

"There are two speculations about this." An old man said.

One reason is that in ancient times, this area was originally a trial ground.

To Yujing, these were nothing.

Another guess is that an invisible hand deliberately arranged it this way, waiting for future generations to excavate it until Yujing was born.

After leaving the teahouse, Xiao Wu complained, "It's boring. It's uncomfortable to be a casual cultivator. Even if I join an expedition team organized by a powerful organization, I'll just be cannon fodder. I feel like those people who leaked the inside information are all agents!"

Qin Ming also nodded and said, "Most likely it's a large organization that's recruiting people, so they're intentionally promoting it this way."

But he still became interested and prepared to inquire from various sources and learn more about it, because with his special ability of resonance, he might be able to gain a lot.

Another thing is that it is feasible for him to be a lone ranger, but he needs to have a thorough understanding of the situation in that area. If he breaks into the ancient temple temporarily, resonates with the scriptures in a short period of time, and does not take away the classics, perhaps the old ghost will not be alarmed to stop him.

Sure enough, after the two stayed in the city for two days, they found that all major forces were recruiting people and the conditions seemed good.

"Xiao Wu, don't get involved!" Qin Ming was ready to join a team and try it out. If he went and seized the opportunity, he would indeed gain a lot.

He thought that if Xiao Wu took the risk, the result would be more trouble than gain.

Wu Yaozu shook his head and said, "Brother Ming, what are you talking about? If we want to go, let's go together!"

Qin Ming had a headache. There were some things he really couldn't tell. If his resonance ability was leaked out, the old guys from all walks of life would probably search his soul.

The two wandered around Qionghua City for several days, learned more information, and finally targeted several organizations with relatively good reputations.

The so-called good reputation is naturally relative.

For example, in a certain sect of Tantric Buddhism, the survival rate is relatively high each time, but it is only maintained at around 70%.

Of course, there are also some who falsify the information. Even if the entire team is almost wiped out, they still dare to claim that 80% of the troops have returned.

Qin Ming's first stop was to sign up for the esoteric school, but he was miserably rejected.

Then he changed to another one.

"Little brother, are you going to Xinsheng Road? Sorry, we have enough people here." The other party declined again.

Because we take different paths, discrimination is everywhere.

"We need people here who can develop spiritual consciousness so that they can take away scriptures and rare treasures from a distance and quickly escape." These are still good, and they tell the truth.

Some organizations accept everyone who comes. It is obvious that they accept people from Xinshenglu just to keep them as a cover. They are absolute cannon fodder.

Afterwards, Qin Ming changed his strategy. When introducing himself, he first mentioned that he was an archer who never missed his target.

This time, he took refuge in the City Lord's Mansion.

Pan Yutong, the legitimate daughter of the mayor of Qionghua City, was personally selecting candidates, and Qin Ming was eliminated again.

She had a graceful figure and a gentle expression. She said, "I'm sorry, but we have an archer here who is known as the best archer in Qionghua. The team doesn't need so many archers for the time being."

Qin Ming didn't want to waste time talking, so he turned around and walked to the opposite side, where there was a young couple, who were said to be nobles from the Dayu Imperial Capital.

"I am an outer saint, an unparalleled archer. If you give me jade and iron arrows, I can shoot and kill all ghosts of the same level!" This time, Qin Ming boasted too much.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to join some teams with better reputation.

Sure enough, the two of them became interested.

Zhao Wencheng and Zhao Wenqian are a pair of siblings. They are indeed aristocrats from the imperial capital. Moreover, they are the ones who openly say that they work for more noble people.

The two asked Qin Ming to demonstrate his archery skills, and they were stunned by the result. Others aimed to shoot down flying birds, but the young man in front of them shot a series of arrows and shaved the head of a flying bird.

Moreover, when the arrow feathers reach a certain height, they are crushed by the internal power of heavenly light, the arrowhead turns into iron filings, and the wooden arrow shaft turns into powder.

This way, even if it falls, it will not hurt the people in the city.

Although Qin Ming has not yet stepped into the realm of outer sainthood, he is already capable of emitting heavenly light.

"What a great archery skill, it's incredible!" Zhao Wencheng exclaimed.

"Ah, that looks like the four-winged bird raised by the princess. Oh no, it's a messenger!" Zhao Wen Qian exclaimed.

She recognized the four-winged bird that was trembling with fear. It looked quite familiar.

"Oh my God, Zhao Wen Qian, you are looking for someone to kill me, I want the princess to decide!" There is no doubt that the frightened four-winged bird inadvertently exposed the person behind the Zhao brothers and sisters.

"Misunderstanding!" The two hurriedly communicated with it.

This is a messenger that the Fourth Princess of Dayu likes very much and is quite favored.

It was about a foot long, red all over, with golden eyes like gemstones, two pairs of wings, and could fly very fast. "And you, the executioner..." The four-winged bird was angry, and touched its bald head with one wing, looking at the archer, its eyes were about to spit fire.

Qin Ming inadvertently plucked the bowstring, and the angry little bird immediately rolled its eyes and fainted in fright. Now it was finally quiet.

Zhao Wencheng lowered his voice and said, "Brother, you know our strength, right? You should have heard of the name of the Fourth Princess of Dayu. She is gifted by nature, like a reincarnated immortal."

Qin Ming was surprised. He had actually heard of this woman. She was indeed very famous. He also knew that she changed her name to Yao Ruoxian.

It is said that she was gifted and naturally suited to become an immortal, but she did not enter the secular world.

The Dayu Dynasty was a behemoth, and the resources it controlled were naturally innumerable. It had all kinds of skills, all kinds of rare treasures, and all kinds of powerful medicines.

Yao Ruoxian's Taoism skills are extremely astonishing, comparable to the most powerful immortals, and even stronger than her brother who entered the outside world.

Zhao Wenqian said, "Every time you go on an expedition, you can get 300 gold coins. If you gain anything in the ruins, you will not lose your share. It is absolutely fair."

"Okay!" Qin Ming nodded in agreement.

As for Xiao Wu, he looked on eagerly and was held down by Qin Ming, who didn't want him to take the risk.

Qin Ming consoled him, "Let me pave the way first. If there is no problem, you can sign up later."

The next day, Qin Ming set out on the journey and entered the Kunling area shrouded in black fog.

Zhao Wencheng said: "According to our experience, a team cannot have more than ten people. Otherwise, even if they are all teenagers, they are not old seniors with profound Taoism. Too much blood and energy gathered together may attract old ghosts."

Both he and Zhao Wenqian came, but they had no plans to go any further. Instead, they came to see off several teams.

The two formed four teams, each with nine people.

And behind each team, there were several elderly people following, it was indeed a perfect match between the old and the young.

Those old men were all the Fourth Princess Yao Ruoxian's men. They had almost figured out Kunling's side, and as expected, there were no accidents after they came in, and they went straight to the target.

The team was familiar with the road and had someone to escort them, so they moved forward very quickly. There was no danger at all in the early stages and they took the road in the safest area.

Qin Ming was surprised that their destination was a vast ruins with a magnificent palace in the core area.

Surrounded by black fog, the ruined palace there is covered with silver tiles. Thinking back to the past, this place must have been extremely magnificent.

What they had to do was to clear out the ruins of the temples along the way.

Today, their target was only a half-collapsed building, which was not small in size.

As he moved forward, Qin Ming discovered that in the core area of ​​the giant palace, purple air was rising, and at the same time, the yin energy was so thick that it could not be dissolved and it was freezing cold.

Moreover, if there is any slight movement, the negative energy there will surge up, which is really abnormal.

"The huge central palace ahead is one of the most important nodes in the Yin Land. If we really need to clean it up, the Fourth Princess will come in person."

Soon, Qin Ming and his companions stepped on the rubble and arrived near the ruined palace.

At this moment, he demonstrated his superb archery skills. It was just an ordinary iron arrow, but when he shot it, it was surrounded by light and was extremely dazzling.

In an instant, the five nearly rotten monsters in the ruined hall were shot with arrows in the middle of their eyebrows, their heads were shattered, and they fell to the ground with their backs facing the sky.

They are said to be ghosts, but in fact they are all ancient people who have taken the path of devouring human flesh and blood and spirits, just like evil spirits.

"What great archery skills!" someone exclaimed.

Afterwards, others also started to take action and entered the half-collapsed ruins of the temple, looking for rare treasures, scriptures, etc. As a result, many ghosts rushed out and immediately fought with them.

They had just emerged from the underground soil and were quite powerful.

In an instant, the team suffered damage.

Qin Ming bent his bow and shot arrows, but even so, four people in their team died. The monsters in the black fog were hard to guard against.

Moreover, he didn't want to stand out too much. He would save people if he could, but their relationship wasn't deep enough for him to risk his life and rush into dangerous territory to save strangers.

In the end, the five of them retreated. There were no scriptures or rare treasures here, and they gained nothing.

Even so, when they retreated, they attracted two old ghosts and chased them out of the ruined palace.

Soon, the older generation figures who were supporting the rear joined forces to strangle him.

The first day was uneventful for Qin Ming. With someone leading the way and senior veterans supporting him, it was really safe.

"Brother Ming, I will go with you next time!" Xiao Wu said in the evening.

Qin Ming shook his head and said, "When they go to look for the blood of the auspicious beast, I will take you with me. There is no need now. There is no luck there."

After dinner, Qin Ming felt the heat in his body gradually becoming hotter. After a few days of accumulation, it was about to trigger a transformation of his body.

He did not hesitate and began to refine the demon seed in his hand and practice the "Immortal Butterfly Sutra". He wanted to complete the last rebirth and the miraculous feat at the same time.

During this night, Qin Ming's body broke several times. This was the nature of refining the demon seed, and it would be backfired many times. At the same time, his flesh and blood were full of new vitality and were undergoing drastic changes.

At daybreak, Qin Ming's final rebirth was completely completed, and at the same time he mastered the eighth miraculous skill!
There is no doubt that his physical fitness has improved again.

The most crucial thing is that after acquiring a new miraculous skill, his Tianguang Jin has undergone a qualitative change, which is the fundamental basis for improving his combat power.

Now, when Qin Ming clenched his fist casually, the Skylight Force flowed naturally, like a small sun shining, and he did not dare to release the Skylight Force completely.

He was afraid that the light from the sky would be brighter than the sun and would alarm other people in the inn. Don't even think about it, the scene would surely be shocking.

According to past experience, when his eight extraordinary skills are integrated into one, they are equivalent to the Four Imperial Powers of the Six Imperial Ancestral Temple!

And at this level, in the first realm, it seems that no one can do it!
Even the founders of various religions cannot do this.

The ancestors of all generations, as well as their most amazing successors, could only practice the three imperial powers at the highest level in the first realm. The strongest Heaven-shaker of the Qingtian Sect and the legendary Golden Body Nirvana of the Tathagata Sect, were all unable to defeat the four imperial powers!

"In the first realm, I finally surpassed the ancestors!" Qin Ming felt a sense of accomplishment and smiled.

He left the city early in the morning, because he wanted to verify the power of the eight extraordinary skills fused into one. At the same time, he didn't want to leave any hidden dangers. He wanted to use the dragon and tiger medicine method to repeatedly temper the unified power.

Xiao Wu followed and witnessed the whole change of Qin Ming, and was stunned.

In the deep mountains and dense forests, Qin Ming's aura was more terrifying than before, and the integrated skylight energy was like real fragments of the sun condensing.

Qin Ming punched out, and a big hole was punched through the mountain wall.

The next moment, five-colored divine light lingered outside his body, and three-colored auspicious clouds bloomed. The eight miraculous powers each formed a magical scene and turned into an immortal divine ring that protected him.

As he gathered the power of Heavenly Light, a large spear appeared in his hand. When he swung it, it seemed as if it could split the cliff here in an instant.

Then, the big spear turned into a long sword, and the eight-colored sword seemed to merge with him. He flew with the sword, rising from the ground, and shot out like thunder.

Finally, Qin Ming stopped and repeatedly tempered it using the Dragon and Tiger Medicine method. All the Heavenly Light Force was perfectly integrated and the eight miraculous skills became one.

He had a feeling that in a few days, without taking any major medicine, he would naturally be able to step into the Outer Saint realm.

Xiao Wu sighed: "Brother Ming, you are a bit outrageous in the first realm. You have really reached the extreme end. Reshape the myth with you as the peak!"

He felt that in the first realm, he was completely inferior to Qin Ming.

Then, he sighed and said, "I have been working hard recently to make up for my shortcomings, but there is really no way I can improve any further. I will wait for you in the second realm, and then I will compete with you."

As he spoke, he entered the second realm and a dazzling light burst out from his body.

Qin Ming had long known that there was something strange about him, stronger than he actually appeared.

After all, Xiao Wu is the only one in the Fourth Realm, and his aptitude is no less than that of an immortal. He has practiced for more than ten years, so how could he still be in the First Realm? !

On this day, Zhao Wencheng said he wanted to rest and did not go on any more adventures.

In fact, the four teams formed by him and Zhao Wenqian needed additional manpower.

On that day, Qin Ming and Xiao Wu heard a lot of the latest news.

In the direction of the Dari Dynasty, the outsiders who marched into Kunling from there joined forces. It was said that many immortals died because of the discovery of incredible relics.

In some huge palaces, there are actually flowing golden words, which is really amazing!
In addition, the esoteric sects advanced from the direction of the Daqian Dynasty and discovered strange places. Some people obtained secret books, and some ancient miracles were also revealed.

These news made Qin Ming's heart surge, and he wanted to rush over immediately and explore with them.

In the next ten days, Qin Ming and his team went on an expedition every other day, and finally cleared the ruins and were ready to head to the central giant palace.

It can be said that almost all the people he met first had been replaced. Some of them quit after coming in once, and the rest all died.

"Are you really a sharpshooter?" Pan Yutong had a complicated expression.

The last expedition was about to head to the huge central palace, and she also came, also to serve the fourth princess.

Zhao Wencheng also came, ready to go together and also to enter the huge central palace.

In recent days, they have cleaned up the ruins of the temple and found nothing.

However, those old guys are full of confidence in the Central Palace.

Originally, Qin Ming was not going to get involved, but they offered too much, two thousand daytime golds and a book of miraculous merit.

Yao Ruoxuan came in person, wearing a suit of armor that covered her entire face. One could only see her slender figure, but not her true appearance.

There are many masters around her.

She was dissuaded from entering. It was her first expedition, and the old guys didn't let her go into the huge central palace in person.

In fact, Qin Ming was actually not selected. He was not chosen when the nine-member team was first selected, but he also went on the journey as a backup.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but when Qin Ming stood near this huge palace, he felt the rag shaking slightly, which immediately made him jump with fear. This was something he had never seen before.

It actually moved by itself!
At the same time, Qin Ming felt that it absorbed a trace of Taiyin Qi that overflowed from the central giant palace, and then it vibrated again.

However, it did not continue to absorb Yin energy.

At the same time, in the deepest part of Kunling territory, in the layers of strange space, all the disappeared ancestors are there.

At this moment they were extremely shocked, because after breaking through the mysterious boundary, in a cave, they saw the coffins of god-like creatures. There were not just one, but many lying in front of them, and they also saw a nine-colored altar.

"what is that?!"

On the altar, a piece of cloth was worshipped, which seemed more important than the coffin of the gods.

One of the ancestors made a move and wanted to take it.
