Night without Borders

Chapter 432 The God Entrusts His Son
You can sit at home and a god will come down from heaven!
Qin Ming and Meng Xinghai were initially terrified. The sudden appearance of an unknown creature that broke through their senses gave them quite a fright.

The newcomer was small in stature, yet possessed a dazzling divine radiance, filling the entire living room with a rich golden glow—clearly no ordinary being. Fortunately, the two remained calm and, through the intense light and mist, were able to discern her true form.

"Senior Liu." Meng Xinghai reacted quickly, having already picked up the fragrant bronze incense burner, but now he put it down awkwardly.

It's truly as if talking about Liu Mo and he's already there. Even from this distance, could he possibly sense something? That's truly terrifying!
Qin Ming also put away the strange gold sword, almost attempting to cleave the heavenly god in two.

After their initial misjudgment, both of them were stunned. What profound scriptures were before them? The moment they appeared, they attracted a rich Taoist aura.

Old Liu is truly generous with his possessions; without a doubt, he is passing on the fundamental teachings.

Meng Xinghai realized that this must be a great law at the level of gods!

Qin Ming was familiar with it; he had come into contact with and practiced it. This was the flawless version of the "Black and White Scripture," a classic text he had longed for and dreamed of for a long time.

It was all presented, densely packed with text and tiny figures, arranged in the void, the tangible meaning of the scriptures shining brightly, like a sky full of stars pouring down.

Liu Mo is different from before; he is no longer a decrepit old man. Now he is a true god!
Otherwise, he would not be able to transmit the scriptures if he had not been revived.

"Difficult, it's really too obscure and hard to understand!" Meng Xinghai was overwhelmed. At first, he could still figure it out and comprehend it, but as he went deeper, he was dizzy and disoriented by the countless moving little figures, and his mental field became turbulent.

He knew very well that if he missed this opportunity, he would never have the chance to learn this scripture again. Therefore, he first memorized it and then prepared to ask Liu Tianshen for guidance.

Qin Ming dared not resonate with Liu Mo's emotions. He recited the scriptures and comprehended them on the spot. He felt his whole body burning up, which was due to the high concentration of his energy and spirit.

He was fighting a battle with all his might.

This is no exaggeration; this "Black and White Scripture" has a very impressive origin and is extremely difficult to understand. Back then, Chu Pianran from the ancient immortal's abode displayed twelve pages in Kunling City, which stumped geniuses from all walks of life.

It is said that even in ancient times, those who practiced Taoist rituals could only comprehend the true meaning of the preceding chapters, and were bewildered by the subsequent chapters, unable to analyze them in depth.

Qin Ming later learned that it had an extremely important background.

The descendants of the Pugong Seven-Day Super-Ascendants, along with their disciples from the Eastern Lands and Northern Wilderness, entered Yezhou with one of their purposes: to excavate some ancient scriptures.

Among the three or four classic texts they listed was the "Black and White Classic".

Qin Ming was completely focused, his body was burning hot, his mental field resonated, and a lamp of the heart shone brightly. In the end, he actually felt a little tired.

Meng Xinghai turned his head and saw that Qin was covered in sweat. He was dumbfounded. Was Qin trying to comprehend the Dao or doing hard labor? His whole body was steaming with white mist.

“Not bad!” Liu Mo nodded. He noticed that Qin Ming was completely absorbed in the scripture, simulating and evolving those chapters. His body was making many instinctive reactions, which is why it was about to burn.

As time passed, black and white particles surged around Qin Ming's body, and with his breathing, black and white light rose and fell rhythmically there.

Liu Mo was astonished. This young man was even more talented than he had imagined. He had suddenly realized something, which was even better than Liu Mo's performance back then.

Soon after, the black and white particles outside Qin Ming's body resonated with his spiritual field, coinciding with the fluctuations of blood and qi within his physical body, manifesting a hazy pattern.

Behind him, a black and white yin-yang symbol took shape and slowly rotated, making him appear mysterious and transcendent.

Beneath him, mysterious energy particles rose and transformed into black and white clouds, lifting him off the ground and suspending him there.

Meng Xinghai stared intently, utterly impressed by Xiao Qin's talent. He was truly awe-inspiring, having even managed to deeply comprehend the legendary "Black and White Scripture."

Liu Tianshen was stunned. He had transformed into a palm-sized golden figure sitting cross-legged on the black and white diagram, while opposite him, the boy also had a Dao diagram reflected on him!

"Impressive skills!" Old Liu re-examined the young man, whom he had met in a humble village during his time of confusion. He realized that this young man was a priceless gem, far exceeding his expectations.

Such a person doesn't need to be taught at all; simply presenting them with scriptures is enough, and they will gradually "devour" them, figuring out the obscure and difficult-to-understand true meaning.

"Such people did exist in ancient times... but they were extremely rare!" he said with some emotion.

Finally, Qin Ming opened his eyes. The Dao diagram behind him disappeared, and the black and white clouds dissipated. He landed on the ground. The meaning of the scriptures behind him was too far beyond his realm, and he could not comprehend it.

Only then did he begin to memorize and write down the subsequent chapters.

"Senior!" Meng Xinghai had remained silent earlier, fearing to disturb Qin Ming's enlightenment, but now he was extremely devout and began to ask Liu Mo for guidance on this god-level classic.

Liu Mo generously offered his instruction, saying, "The Black and White Scripture is not limited to the Immortal Path or the Secret Sect; one can explore all paths. But precisely because of this, it is exceptionally difficult to practice..."

Outside the window, nine heads of all sizes peered in, all staring expectantly.

"You guys come over too," Liu Mo said.

"Thank you, old immortal!" The red squirrel, the lark, and the thunder king bird are now either three-headed and six-armed or three-headed and six-winged, all of which have undergone super mutations.

They were very excited and came in to worship.

Qin Ming was also listening and verifying his own understanding. When he first came into contact with this scripture, he realized that integrating his consciousness, the light of heaven, and other elements seemed to help him understand and master the true meaning of this scripture.

For Meng Xinghai, this was nothing short of a feast, as a god-like teacher broke down the Black and White Sutra, kneaded it, and personally fed it to him.

"I will never forget your great kindness!" Meng Xinghai concluded by bowing deeply.

Qin Ming could also explain the Black and White Scripture to him, but in terms of followers, he was far inferior to Liu Tianshen.

"In this life and the next, we will repay your kindness!" The Talking Sparrow, the Red Squirrel, and the Thunder King Bird bowed their heads, and from this moment on, they considered themselves direct descendants of Black and White Mountain.

The palm-sized golden Liu Mo spoke up: "Get up, everyone. It's fate that we're both near Black and White Mountain."

"Senior, when you say time is limited, what do you mean..." Qin Ming asked.

"I'm leaving," Liu Tianshen said simply and clearly; he was about to embark on a long journey.

"Huh?" They were all surprised after they finished studying the scriptures. Where was Old Liu going?

Liu Mo said, "I am trying to undergo nirvana and get rid of the past. Now I have reached a critical stage where life and death are uncertain, and I must leave."

He admitted that this departure might last for years, or even decades, or perhaps he would never return, passing away peacefully in the mortal world.

Meng Xinghai said, "Senior, why don't you go into seclusion at Black and White Mountain? We are willing to follow your orders."

Liu Mo shook his head: "The world is far from as peaceful as you imagine. The bombing of Yujing does not mean that there are no top-level forces."

For safety reasons, he had to leave this old place.

The two realized that Liu Mo had potential rivals and enemies, and that they needed to treat him with caution.

Perhaps, his disappearance is the strongest deterrent!

What the future holds for him, and whether he can successfully transform himself, is something even he himself doesn't know.

Liu Mo said, "Sigh, I've been entangled in worldly affairs for many years. I now have an old wife and a young child. If I'm gone, please take care of them for me."

He was sighing, looking as if he were entrusting his son to someone else and making his final arrangements.

Meng Xinghai said, "What are you saying, senior? With me and Xiao Qin here, we guarantee everything will be fine."

"By the venerable Lord, please rest assured, we will ensure the safety of the Divine Child!" The Sparrow, the Red Squirrel, and the Thunder King Bird immediately expressed their support.

Qin Mingxin had some doubts and asked about the big yellow dog. Did it also undergo Nirvana? He already knew from Yuque that the Dog Sword Immortal had displayed great power on a rainy night.

Liu Mo said, "Actually, I'm a little worried about it too. Let's see how it performs."

Qin Ming asked what potential crises would require him to leave.

Liu Mo shook his head, without going into details.

In fact, Qin Ming and Meng Xinghai could guess some of this. The destruction of Yujing didn't mean that everything that existed before had disappeared. Moreover, Liu Mo wasn't the only one who escaped from Yujing back then; there were other beings as well. When the Earth Immortal from Sky City descended last time, he mentioned some things about the wanted criminals from Yujing.

Liu Mo cautioned: "The path is hard to find, and the road beneath your feet is difficult to walk. Every step must be taken with caution. Even though I have achieved a high godhood, I still have to turn back. One wrong step could ruin my life. Five hundred years have passed, and I have not completely washed away the old marks, nor have I been fully reborn."

He solemnly declared, "The path ahead for those who accumulate eight days is far brighter than that for the gods!"

He muttered to himself, "In the years before me, I wonder if any of the older generation who escaped from the Jade Capital successfully lived a new life."

Liu Mo pondered and said, "No matter what, they should have successors in the world. They've been too quiet for so many years."

He looked at Qin Ming and said, "I have high hopes for you. You will definitely master the Eightfold Martial Arts! If you ever encounter any creatures that are hostile to the Black and White Scripture in the future, just beat them up!"

Liu Mo stated frankly that Qin Ming had already practiced the Black and White Scripture before, and now he was completing it to prevent Qin Ming from losing the true prestige of this scripture in the future.

They inevitably talked about Yujing, and Qin Ming was eager to learn more about that place.

However, Liu Mo was extremely wary.

“Just like when you talked about me in Black and White Mountain, you might be able to sense it,” he said. This is the power of the gods; within a certain range, they can sense things from the unseen realm.

Yujing was even more terrifying. Even if it exploded, Liu Mo thought it was best not to mention it. He said, "After all, it was more like a rebirth."

Qin Ming couldn't resist writing in the air and asked, "Are the gods, immortals, demons, and the Lord of Jade Capital truly gone?"

"It's hard to say," Liu Mo shook his head.

Subsequently, Meng Xinghai inquired on Qin Ming's behalf: "The environment is changing now, with the emergence of new lists and gold lists. Is it possible to participate?"

Liu Mo said, "We should still leverage external resources when necessary; there shouldn't be any major problems in the early stages."

As for the later stages, his expression turned solemn as he reminded Qin Ming not to delve too deeply, lest he be assimilated and entangled by the unpredictable Dao Chains.

Qin Ming immediately thought of his experience in Tucheng. When he was testing whether he had the talent of the Divine Moon and the Blazing Sun, there were divine chains spreading on the stone tablet, but they were torn off by the rag and absorbed as food.

Some things are best left unsaid, so Liu Mo only touched on them briefly.

He began, "Actually, my understanding of that place is probably only superficial. After all, it's an upside-down Jade Capital, which doesn't quite match the myths and legends."

Before parting, Qin Ming told him to go and undergo Nirvana in peace.

"Old Immortal, take care!"

The finches, red squirrels, and thunderbirds all pledged to protect everything in Shuangshu Village.

"Even if the old immortal does not return for a long time, we will raise the divine child well so that he can come to find you in the future."

Looking back on his past, Liu Mo recalled how he had once been high above, a god, and had also fallen into the dust, suffering from hunger and cold, working as a beggar, experiencing too many things.

He said nothing more, sat cross-legged on the black and white picture, and suddenly soared into the sky.

In the days that followed, Qin Ming and Meng Xinghai continued to clear out the area around Shuangshu Village near Heibai Mountain, ensuring that any remaining Nightfall creatures were eliminated.

Moreover, they advanced to distant territories, such as reaching Maple Leaf City, which can be seen as responding to the call and accumulating merits on the ground.

In early spring, as all things revive, various regions are taking action to clean up the forces that have infiltrated from the Night Market.

Now that the fire spring is blazing, it is the perfect time to drive away the bizarre.

"Right now, we should strive to restore the earth to its original state. We don't seek absolute peace and tranquility, but we also can't afford to see headless corpses flying by and human skin kites soaring freely every day!"

All the major sects and organizations in Yezhou are exerting their efforts.

As for what will happen when winter comes again and the fire spring dims, that's not something they're considering right now.

However, there are some areas on the ground that are destined to be impossible to clear, such as the ground cities destroyed and the mountains and rivers shattered when Yujing collapsed and fell.

Even when grandmasters at their peak went deep into the field in the past, some still died. Not to mention now, even patriarchs and grandmasters are facing serious problems.

In Yezhou, some areas have been turned into restricted zones!

"It may not have been caused by the fragments of Yujing, but could have been a consequence of the massive object that was destroyed along with it."

……

In this vibrant spring, the environment of heaven and earth is undergoing dramatic changes. The inscription on the celestial land, where the azure energy is abundant, is becoming increasingly clear, and a mysterious path is faintly visible.

Soon, some powerful individuals on the ground achieved a spiritual connection with the heavens and obtained astonishing information.

Beyond the nine heavens, some special towns have appeared!

The people of Sky City were stunned. Apart from their dilapidated cave high in the sky, there were other similar cities in the heavens.
“No, those are empty divine cities and immortal towns, devoid of any living beings.” They discovered the truth.

On the ground, some people also know what kind of places those are. The New Ranking, the Golden Ranking, and the Dao Ranking correspond to real places, and those who wish to leave their names can go there.

The town, shrouded in azure clouds, holds hidden wonders. If one can leave their mark on the list, they may enter the Jade Capital, obtain the true scriptures, and gain insights from the sages of the past.

This caused a sensation.

However, all parties have been quite cautious and have not been blindly enthusiastic.

"No problem, there are plenty of opportunities in the early stages!"

How do we get to the highest heavens? Many people are eager to try.

"The strange town on the ground has come back to life!" In the end, they discovered a way to ascend to the heavens and set sail from a special place.

Wu Yaozu, who was experiencing the mortal world, was also paying attention to these matters. In the end, he was quite surprised and said, "That strange little town in my hometown is one of the starting points?"

In the past, that town was a ruin during the day, but it was brightly lit at night, and many mysterious creatures from all over the world would gather there.

Xiao Wu once took Qin Ming there for a stroll.

To this day, many similar strange towns have appeared, scattered in various places, with small boats shrouded in blue mist moored there, reaching the highest heavens.

Moreover, these strange towns are now more realistic and complete, and people can now enter them physically.

Soon, some daring individuals ascended to the heavens and entered the celestial realm, where the azure energy was abundant.

"Everyone, there's no problem ascending to heaven. I can assure you that all participants will be safe and sound!"

As time went by, many details were revealed, and experts continuously communicated with the heavens and obtained a great deal of detailed information about that otherworldly realm.

Initially, all parties were quite cautious, but in less than ten days, many people began to ascend to heaven!
"What happened? Little Rulai, Cui Chonghe and others rushed up, even though they were on guard earlier."

"Hiss, some people in Sky City have gone mad too. Many people have already gone there, including those with the potential of Divine Moon and Blazing Sun. Even some old guys with serious health problems can't sit still."

In an instant, the heavens above became a gathering place for wind and clouds.

There are also rumors that even the old barbarian god in the north is getting restless, and that the sage from Pugong is already on his way on a dragon.

"Everyone, you can rest assured that there is an opportunity here to become a celestial being and to share a common ancestor on the same path. There is no danger, and the safety of the participants can be guaranteed."

Many people want to test their swords in the heavens, hoping to leave their mark on the new and golden lists.

After learning some details, Qin Ming was also tempted. Testing swordsmanship in the sky? With all the safeguards in place, he really wanted to ascend to the heavens and weigh the pros and cons of Little Buddha, Cui Chongxiao, and the others.
