Night without Borders

Chapter 51 Three Rebirths
In the early night, although the sky is dark, the scenery is actually visible.

In the room, Qin Ming took a deep breath, exhaled the foul air, cut off all distracting thoughts, and brushed away the restless dust in his heart.

The sunstone in the copper basin had just been taken back, and it was at its brightest. Qin Ming's hair tips and facial contours were covered with bright light.

The glow of the fire made even the windows and walls seem gilded. Qin Ming sat quietly, and the scene before his eyes resembled a scene from the old times recorded in a book. In the afterglow of the setting sun, in the temple where the tiles were stained with a light golden glow, the statues of the gods were bathing in the sunset glow, peaceful and tranquil.

Soon after, he poured part of the light golden liquid in the porcelain jar into the white bowl. It was rich and fragrant. It was the essence extracted from mead. It made people feel a little tipsy before they even drank it.

A traveling merchant once said that even one ounce of gold could not buy a drop of essence from an ant nest.

In the white bowl, the light golden spiritual substance seemed to be condensed from the sunlight of the old world, shining brightly, with wisps of mist rising up, wrapped in gold.

Qin Ming covered the porcelain jar and drank half the bowl of spiritual substance in one gulp.

His mouth was full of sweet fragrance, and also filled with the faint aroma of wine, which was endless aftertaste. It was a thousand times better than the bitter gall of the blood snake, making people want to drink another bowl.

In an instant, Qin Ming realized its benefits. His body quickly became hot and the effect was immediate. He seemed to have turned into a furnace.

He came to the yard, and the cold wind blew, but it was actually warm on his face. Snowflakes fell, like a spring rain, making him feel like he had arrived in early spring.

Qin Ming's entire body was glowing, the activity of his flesh and blood was constantly increasing, forcing back the severe cold of the winter season and causing a large amount of white mist to rise.

He was sweating profusely, his whole body was wet, a layer of silver light appeared on his body surface, and then it seemed to turn into silver mud, and then "golden needles" rushed out of his body.

Afterwards, the golden needle threaded the silver mud, and this time, before he fell asleep, the "Golden Jade Clothes" began to form and appeared under normal circumstances.

"It's different from the past." Qin Ming carefully felt that the strange signs he had when he was first born were now beginning to undergo a qualitative change.

Qin Ming was certain that it was transforming towards daylight.

He moved in the courtyard and began to demonstrate the new life method recorded in the silk book, which included body movements, breathing coordination, and spiritual training.

Qin Ming was tireless and continued to perform because he did not feel tired. A fresh breath surged, and a rich vitality spread and expanded in his flesh and blood. Even the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were glowing.

He knew that the third rebirth had officially begun, that heavenly light was being born in his body, and that wonderful changes were taking place.

"The predecessors called this state a rebirth, and it really makes sense. Every time my physical fitness improves significantly, it's like experiencing a rebirth from the womb."

The birth of human body sky light is by no means caused by strange signs such as the broken golden ripples on the body surface. Its root lies in the deepest part of the body, and the external one is just a superficial appearance.

At this moment, it was as if a thunderbolt appeared in Qin Ming's heart. With a loud bang, a dazzling ray of light shone out from the sea of ​​​​his heart and fell directly into his flesh and blood.

Then, his internal organs all revived in the same way. Some parts were like the morning glow, shining with golden light and carrying a vigorous initial breath, while other parts were like a galaxy coming into a dream, breaking through the fog and shining with stars...

Qin Ming's whole body was glowing, even his black hair seemed to be burning, flames billowed, and an extremely strong new life force covered his whole body.

At this moment, even his eyes emitted a mysterious celestial light. This was the third rebirth. If it was sufficient, it would be like this from head to toe. The celestial light would be everywhere.

As the daylight gradually became more restrained, Qin Ming became more peaceful and integrated into the surrounding environment. His every move was natural and freehand, without the slightest trace of artificiality.

There are not many specific descriptions of the skylight in the silk book, which strives to use concise words to describe the improvement of the level of life.

"I guessed it right. As long as you keep practicing what is written in the silk book, you will naturally be able to generate heavenly light and strengthen your spirit."

Qin Ming had a new realization. Although the silk book did not mention much about the heavenly light, it was destined to appear and would be cultivated.

But what about Tianguang Jin? He frowned. This kind of Jin needs to be practiced, and it requires specific methods.

He could only hope that after he fell asleep tonight, his childhood memories would resurface and he would turn to the third page of the silk book to find the answer and resolve his confusion.

Afterwards, Qin Ming began to practice fighting skills. After thinking for a while, he threw away the long-handled black gold hammer and grabbed the axe.

For a moment, there was a flash of cold light, and Qin Ming felt as if light was about to burst out from his flesh and blood.

"Hmm, could it be that the Sky Light Force is about to be born?"

He practiced with his heart. In addition to practicing with the sword, he also used his fists and feet. They were all various highly effective ways to kill the enemy. Some of them were directly derived from the sword techniques, causing the sound of wind and thunder in the courtyard.

I don’t know how long it took, but the night was about to end when Qin Ming felt a little tired and stopped.

After dinner, Old Man Liu came to knock on the gate.

Although Qin Ming's body no longer glowed like a furnace, it was still full of vitality and a fresh breath as if all things were just beginning to emerge.

Old man Liu was in a trance. Just looking at him gave one the illusion that he was watching the ice and snow melting, the grass and trees sprouting, and the whole place thriving.

"You didn't make any preparations and just started a new life for the third time?" he asked in a low voice.

Qin Ming nodded. After his trip to the mountains, he and Old Man Liu knew each other well and there was no need to hide anything.

Old Liu was very envious.

"Old man, you have spiritual materials in your hands. If you don't calm down and adjust your state, how long will you wait?" Qin Ming asked.

"Do you think everyone can be reborn like you by just moving forward recklessly?" said Old Man Liu.

He was indeed unsure now. Even if he had the essence from the ant nest in his hands, he could not guarantee that he could be reborn three times.

Because it is hard to say how far each person can go.

At the very least, the threshold of being a freshman for the first time stops 90% of the people.

Some ancient sages have estimated that even if spiritual materials were given to people, 60 to 70 percent of them would be blocked from the door and would not even be able to achieve a new life.

There is no doubt that the first rebirth does not mean that you have embarked on a broad path. Even with spiritual materials in hand, 60 to 70 percent of people will be stopped during the second rebirth.

The same thing happened when he was reborn three times. Old man Liu is so old now, how can he have the confidence?

Qin Ming comforted him and helped boost his confidence, saying: "You must have the belief that you can make it through the entire new field." Old man Liu sighed and said that he always failed at critical moments in his life. He could have been reborn at the golden age, but he was injured when he went into the mountains, and he became seriously ill and was delayed for half a year.

When he was young, he went to Chixia City and was about to become a disciple of a famous teacher, but the elder had to go out for something and died on the edge of the absolutely dark desert.

After Old Man Liu came back, he became close to a group of old men from the patrol team. One time, they wanted to work together to get a mysterious substance, but as soon as they entered the mountain, they encountered a famous beast that went crazy. The alien was just passing by and didn't deliberately target them, but it almost killed them all. He was seriously injured, and it was a miracle that he survived.

Qin Ming listened to Old Man Liu's chatter, why did he feel that he was really a bit unlucky?

"My trip into the mountains with you was relatively smooth this time. The other things are really hard to describe, with twists and turns." Old man Liu sighed.

"You call this smooth sailing? We fought an ant nest for four days, and flying ants that we've never seen before evolved." Qin Ming looked at him with strange eyes.

"How are the people around you? Are they not affected?" Qin Ming was naturally not superstitious and did not believe in that at all. He just asked casually.

"It's okay." Old man Liu said hesitantly.

"What do you mean it's okay?" Qin Ming was suspicious.

"Like you, I didn't originally belong to this village. I was picked up by my grandfather when I was six years old. Maybe because I was too young, I have no memory of my biological parents. I guess they must have had a hard life, or even died a long time ago, otherwise I wouldn't have been stranded in the ice and snow. Strangely enough, I had severe frostbite on my body, but I recovered in the end and survived."

Qin Ming didn't know how to comfort him, so he said, "Don't think too much. I think you should go back and calm down. Drink the spiritual substance immediately. Don't hesitate at all. Go all out and get the third rebirth right away!"

"I think so too. I should be more decisive!" After saying this, Old Man Liu took out a porcelain jar from his arms, unscrewed it and drank the whole thing.

Qin Ming was stunned and said, "You came to my place and started drinking right away. Why don't you go home and calm down first?"

Old Man Liu said, "I feel that I have been getting along well with you recently, so I came here to take advantage of you."

Then he became excited and could feel his body burning hot, as if it was on fire, and a light mist began to evaporate from his body.

"This is...old man, I really succeeded!" He wanted to laugh, but had to lower his voice.

Qin Ming said: "Don't be so superstitious. You already have this potential, but you set up obstacles in your mind, so sometimes you are not decisive enough and dare not take that step forward."

“You can’t say that. There are some things you can’t help but believe. I think all the problems are related to the blood-stained kite I saw when I was young and ignorant.” Old man Liu pointed to the night sky.

Qin Ming suddenly became serious and asked, "Where exactly is it?"

"Back then, I stood at the fire spring at the entrance of the village. The kite should have floated to the top of the center of Shuangshu Village..."

Old Man Liu wrapped his fur coat tightly before daybreak and ran all the way back to his home.

Late at night, the "Golden Jade Clothes" seemed to really appear on Qin Ming's body.

He was somewhat skeptical. Ancient emperors were buried in pearl robes and jade boxes, tied with gold threads, in the hope of immortality. Was that something he had heard?
Qin Ming fell into a deep sleep. Until the second half of the night, he experienced the same state as last time again. In a state of half dream and half wakefulness, he saw his childhood self.

He was still wearing tattered clothes, and when he looked down, he saw two toes sticking out from the damaged part of his little shoes.

This time, he finally saw the man who was speaking, although he only took a quick glance when he got closer while flipping through the silk book.

Qin Ming realized that this should be his relative, and he was somewhat similar to him.

He was in his early fifties, with gray hair on his temples, calluses on his hands, and his clothes were old and patched.

"Is it my grandfather?" Qin Ming guessed.

As he was expecting, the silk book opened to the third page, and densely packed small characters and human figures were revealed to him.

There was really no mention about Tianguang Jin!

Because, continuing the rebirth method on the second page, the five senses, instinctive intuition, etc. were soon mentioned later. He guessed that the fourth rebirth should be related to perception.

"But, what about the Skylight Force?!" Qin Ming was so anxious that he almost came out of this state and almost woke up from his dream.

Fortunately, he calmed himself down and continued to read on, memorizing the third page of the silk book in his heart. Perhaps it could not be said that he remembered it, but rather that his childhood experiences were reappearing, and he was remembered with his third rebirth.

Then, he made a new discovery. There was a line of comments at the bottom corner of the page, mentioning Tianguang Jin!
Qin Ming finished reading it with a wooden face. Why did it feel like he was being scolded?

The gist of the first half of the comment is that the Heavenly Light has been born, but why can’t we cultivate our own Heavenly Light Power?
Then they mentioned what to do next, and it was just one word: integration!

The second half of the note is a ridicule, saying that to practice the methods in the silk book, one needs a master to guide one in the door. Even though he has been taught step by step, if one is still so stupid, he can give up on the silk book.

"You can scold me as much as you want, I learned it by myself, no one taught me." Qin Ming woke up.

The dark night had faded away and a new day had arrived. After breakfast, he immediately went to the yard to practice the new life method in the silk book.

"Look within yourself!" This was a key word he saw on the third page of the silk book.

As he displayed the new method written on the silk book, the Heavenly Light in his body became restless again like yesterday. In the end, it seemed that it would not be smooth without an explosion. Finally, a mysterious ripple appeared at his fingertips and on his skin, and then the Heavenly Light Force vibrated out!

With a swish, his fingertips just touched the handle and the axe was stuck in his hand.

Then, he tried it a little bit, exerted a little force with his fingers, and the sky was bright and a large chip appeared on the hatchet.

"Not easy, I finally developed my own Tianguang Jin." He tried to experience it with his heart and tested it continuously, and then naturally he thought of the sword manual, which also recorded Tianguang Jin.

During the third rebirth, many people could barely practice one type of Sky Light Power. Qin Ming felt that his upper limit should not be limited to one type, not to mention that he had the three-color flower in his hand.

Moreover, the annotation of the silk book mentions the word "Rong", which clearly reminds later generations to practice Tianguang Jin more.

Qin Ming heard the noise at the entrance of the village. As expected, the people from Jinjiling had arrived and were looking to recruit new students to join them.

"Everything is ready, except for a good sword!" Qin Ming took out the piece of mutton-fat jade iron. This mysterious material did not need to be hammered and tempered, it could be melted into a weapon. This was much simpler and could be done quickly.
