CHAPTER 554: CHAPTER 321: MUTUAL ADMIRATION

Even so, he persisted in practicing the True Scripture passed on to him by Li Qingyue in the Mountain and River Spirit Nest. Later, Li Qingyue also gave him the subsequent parts in the Kunleng Secret Realm.

"If I am not mistaken, this should correspond to the first two realms of the Essential Scripture of the Luofu Sect."

As for the skills after the Third Realm, he had also mastered them, having acquired a tattered piece of Exotic Gold Paper at the Immortal Mountain Ruins, which recorded them.

Subsequently, Qin Ming studied a fundamental scripture of the Esoteric Buddhism, which also had great origins.

In the past, a blue big centipede nearly became a God, attempting to devour Chixia City, but was obstructed by Meng Xinghai’s grand-master uncle, Cao Qianqiu, and others.

Qin Ming was also entangled in karma; the broken cloth on him had swallowed the divinity of the Big Centipede, attracting its Residual Spirit, which led him into its Divine Country.

In there, Qin Ming obtained a Golden Scale, which recorded a truly astonishing True Scripture.

Without a doubt, it wasn’t a skill created by the Big Centipede itself; the material of the Golden Scale was extremely special, seemingly Dragon Scale, Qilin Scale, etc.

"The Divine Wisdom I’ve cultivated likewise cannot remain, it will be swallowed by the Heavenly Light within the flesh; the Silk Scripture skill is too overbearing."

Qin Ming did not give up and continued to practice.

While he cultivated arduously and attempted to break the major barrier, the Thunderbird helped him survey the Qingfeng Town territory that needed protection, constantly observing the surrounding movements.

When Qin Ming found cultivation monotonous, he would occasionally go out for personal inspection along the boundary.

The demons at the edge of the Shenshang Plain are now in a dilemma; the Demon and Monster Alliance Army scorns them, thinking they are tame like dogs kept by humans, lacking wildness.

Meanwhile, the common people on the human side of the boundary line view them as demons, occasionally causing harm.

Clearly, most demons in the buffer zone are fence-sitters, aligning with whichever side appears stronger.

However, the demons that have remained without leaving seem more inclined towards the human side now.

When Qin Ming inspected personally, a Great Demon of the Second Realm immediately appeared, accompanying him with an exceedingly humble attitude, singing and dancing, inviting him to drink.

The Land of Divine Tragedy, a vast plain teeming with dense woods and extremely rich resources, though few Fire Springs could be seen in the night, digging downward for a few feet reveals fiery lights shining through.

Standing atop a high mountain, Qin Ming gazed at the boundless forest plain, hoping the great battle would be delayed, granting him time to break the barrier.

Unfortunately, in such an environment, peaceful conditions had long ceased to exist, and the existing tense atmosphere was difficult to maintain; both sides were ready for war at any time.

The following day, several Exotic Birds appeared in the Qingfeng Town territory.

The most excessive act was when they flew close to the high mountain where Qin Ming resided and, after a brief circling, let bird droppings fall.

This was truly a humiliating provocation, leaving Qin Ming’s territory in unrest, the demons were up to mischief.

The Thunder King Bird flapped its wings, driving away the mischievous entities, and then intended to pursue them further.

Qin Ming swiftly opened his eyes, saying: "No need!"

He directly bent his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at the night sky.

Four Exotic Birds were subsequently shot and exploded by Iron Arrows carrying Heavenly Light, their feathers scattered and drenched in blood, emitting piercing screams.

Even their spiritual consciousness found it hard to escape, getting thoroughly incinerated by the Heavenly Light.

That day, demons at the early stage of the Third Realm came knocking, two demons in total, including a Black Peacock, a race not of inferior status among demons.

"Hey there, youngster. We hail from Xuankong Ridge, the holy land aspired by the Yu Clan. Our master particularly dispatched us to persuade you to surrender. Wise men recognize current affairs, we hope you may yield."

"If you don’t want to die, then scram." Qin Ming stared at it, pondering if its master mentioned rare Demon Clan, whether it possesses strange blood.

"You’ve already offended Xuankong Ridge by slaying the Yu Clan in Panshi Town!"

"Calamity is impending and you’re unaware, giving you a way out, but you choose to cross Naihe Bridge!"

Two Bird Demons flew over and directly attacked.

Qin Ming contemplated, refraining from a fierce slaughter, instead engaging in skirmish until after a dozen moves he decisively beheaded each.

He primarily feared scaring the snakes in the grass, intimidating the subsequent demons into sending some old monster, hence taking a slow approach; the longer he dragged it out, the better.

Moreover, he was also fishing; if any young and vigorous Strange Blood creatures came to personally kill, it would be splendid.

Clearly, Bird Demons afar were spying, promptly retreating to report.

In the next two days, Qin Ming found no peace, consecutively slaying four waves of invading Demon Clan, engaging in "bloody combat" each time, perilous.

Indeed, he needed to join forces with the Thunderbird the latter two times, barely managing to defeat the opponents.

After several consecutive waves, on the fourth day, a youth donned in a black and white robe appeared, bearing both hands behind his back, standing on the back of an Immortal Crane, seemingly ethereal and empty.

Qin Ming realized this demon might have some notable background.

Beside the youth, there were four demons, all transformed into human forms upon landing, consisting of both males and females, all revering him.

"You are the one who repeatedly killed my subordinates?" The youth stood with hands behind his back, looking indifferently at Qin Ming, as if gazing at a dead man.

Qin Ming opened the Newborn’s Eye, scrutinizing the individual, then revealed a peculiar expression; indeed, he might have struck it rich, the opponent likely being a prominent Strange Blood creature.

"What if I am?"

"Then die!" The youth in the black and white robe said coldly. He had lost a dozen subordinates, now coming to exact judgment, intending to take action personally.

"Afraid you lack the skill." Qin Ming smirked.

The youth was very confident and instructed his subordinates, saying: "You trap the Thunderbird, don’t let it escape, I will personally slay this human child."
