Free Web NovelChapter 742: Chapter 583: Six Paths Saint Ancestor
Upon hearing this news, both Qin Ming and Nanming Ancestor were somewhat surprised.
The Penglai Sect is an ancient lineage sect and has a Tier Five heritage Divine Tree.
True Monarch Cangwu reached Nascent Soul Great Perfection many years ago, and as a Divinity Transformation seed, he certainly wouldn’t lack resources to attempt the breakthrough to Divinity Transformation.
However, the abyss of Divinity Transformation is not something just anyone can break through; in the Human Realm, only one occasionally emerges in several thousand years.
The majority of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators remain stuck at the initial stage realm, unable to progress further in their lifetimes.
Among the remaining group, a very few cultivators with extraordinary luck and talent have fortuitously broken through to the mid and late stages, already standing at the pinnacle.
Those able to cultivate to Nascent Soul Great Perfection, aside from diligent farmers like Qin Ming, are mostly Divinity Transformation seeds cultivated with the full efforts of Divinity Transformation sects, marked as inheritors of the sect.
After exchanging pleasantries with Supreme Yang,
Qin Ming and his companion did not linger any longer and departed from the East Sea Cultivation Realm.
After flying for several more days,
they arrived near the Black Sea region.
"Fellow Daoist Nanming, let us part ways here. You are welcome to visit Wangyue Island anytime," said Qin Ming to Nanming Ancestor.
Nanming Ancestor smiled faintly and responded with a smile, "Friend Qin, say no more. Should you need anything, just call, and you are also welcome to visit Lihuo Palace; I will surely welcome you with open arms."
Thus, the two parted, each returning to their own home.
...
Great Jin Cultivation Realm, Lihuo Palace Mountain Gate.
After the righteous-demonic showdown, the once overlord-level sects of the Great Jin Cultivation Realm became quite desolate.
The former prosperous glory was no longer present.
Inside the sect, only a few Golden Core Stage elders struggled to maintain it.
Fortunately, Lihuo Palace had some foundation, allowing them to barely hold on to their heritage.
The main reason was the sect’s ancestral hall’s Primordial Spirit Lamp—its symbol of last spiritual support—remaining unextinguished; otherwise, they would have been swallowed by other forces.
The founding ancestor’s prestige kept many petty villains at bay.
On this day,
the sky was cloudless and bright.
A patrol of Lihuo Palace cultivators in red robes was patrolling near the mountain gate.
In the next moment,
there was a sudden intense fluctuation of Spiritual Qi in the void, then it rippled out like water waves.
A gray-robed elder silently and stealthily emerged from it.
Nanming Ancestor, full of the vicissitudes of life, stood in the air with his hands behind his back, looking at the sect he founded, a multitude of memories and complex emotions surged in his heart...
The team of Foundation Establishment cultivators, startled by the sudden appearance, was all taken aback!
However, they were also perceptive enough. freewēbnoveℓ.com
One glance told them he was a cultivator above the Golden Core Stage, so they quickly approached and asked, "May I know this senior’s honorable name? What brings you to our Lihuo Palace? Please allow this junior to report."
"Sigh! I didn’t expect that so many years away would see the sect fall to this state..." Nanming Ancestor did not reply; he merely sighed deeply.
Seeing that the elder ignored them, the patrol team of Foundation Establishment cultivators dared not offend him either.
Just in the next moment,
three Golden Core Stage elders flew out from the depths of Lihuo Palace, each one was extremely shocked at the sight of Nanming Ancestor.
Their emotions were so overwhelming that they choked as they deeply bowed, "Disciple pays respect to Nanming Ancestor!!"
"Welcome back to the sect, Ancestor!!"
"Welcome back to the sect, Ancestor!"
The team of Foundation Establishment cultivators was stunned on the spot, their minds buzzing.
Seeing the Golden Core Elders perform such grand rites to the gray-robed elder, they suddenly realized...
In an instant, they were also overwhelmed with immense emotions and followed suit, bowing enthusiastically:
"Disciple welcomes Ancestor!"
Instantly, the bells of Lihuo Palace tolled continuously, resonating through the heavens and earth.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Countless sect disciples poured out, all excitedly welcoming the return of the sect’s ancestor.
Nearby passing cultivators, seeing such a commotion in Lihuo Palace, couldn’t help but curiously ask:
"What’s happening at Lihuo Palace? Even the Sect’s Ancient Bell tolled eighty-one times; something significant must have happened."
"Could it be they’re going to war with another sect?"
"Impossible, right? Lihuo Palace can’t defeat anyone now."
However, when these cultivators learned the reason, all of them exclaimed in surprise:
"What? Nanming Ancestor, who disappeared for thousands of years, has returned?"
"This news is really explosive!"
...
...
Meanwhile,
Qin Ming, piloting the Lingxiao Imperial Carriage, also returned to Wangyue Island.
Upon his return, he also had an audience with Hua Tianxiong to understand the situation somewhat.
Mo Lingwei was still in seclusion, striving for the Nascent Soul Stage breakthrough.
Qin Ming merely released his Divine Thought slightly to sense, noticing that her mana aura was stable and her foundation quite decent. With her unique Phoenix Spirit Body, she still had a chance at Nascent Soul Formation.
His return brought a sense of reliability back to the Spirit Nest Islands.
After all, the ancient demon’s havoc had unsettled people, and only with Qin Ming presiding would there be some peace of mind.
Qin Ming also bestowed some pills to Hua Tianxiong, offering some encouraging words before dismissing him.
Originally, Hua Tianxiong also possessed the Thick Earth Spirit Body. Had he diligently cultivated in his early years, he would have had the chance to reach the Nascent Soul Stage.
Unfortunately, he squandered his early years with excessive indulgence, making it extremely difficult to make up for lost time now.
However, Qin Ming saw that Hua Tianxiong seemed quite content being the Grand Steward on Spirit Island.
Several days later.
A streak of white rainbow light arrived in an instant from afar, landing on Wangyue Island.
The light faded, revealing the figure of Qi Xiaoyu.
However, he arrived in haste, with a worried expression.
Qin Ming had already sensed his arrival and went out to invite Qi Xiaoyu into the Cyan Wood Pavilion, instructing Tian Ling’er and the Little Silver Fox to prepare incense and tea for hospitality.
Seeing Qi Xiaoyu’s appearance, Qin Ming couldn’t help but ask:
"Brother Qi, has something happened?"
Qi Xiaoyu nodded slightly, speaking in a serious tone, "There has been an anomaly with the array within Primordial Extreme Mountain, along with the recent rampages of the Ancient Demon slaughtering Human Race Cultivators. I fear there has been a significant change inside."
"I personally checked the five sub-arrays on the periphery. While they show no signs of being damaged, the seal of the main array inside Primordial Extreme Mountain has shown signs of loosening, as if impacted by immense force."
"To be able to shake the Elemental Five Elements Demon Suppression Array, only the Demon Realm Saint Ancestor could have such power."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming, though he had a vague premonition, had not anticipated the situation had advanced to such a degree.
If that Six Paths Saint Ancestor breaks free from the seal, what then?
Thus, Qin Ming urgently discussed the matter with Qi Xiaoyu.
He also handed over the other half of the Reversed Scale Stele, which he had collected from the outer sea, to the other party.
...
Northern Cold Cultivation Realm, within Primordial Extreme Mountain.
In the Fallen Demon’s Land where the Six Paths Saint Ancestor is sealed, billows of demonic qi spewed from the mouths of the Three-headed Giant Snake, beginning to corrode the Star Chains binding its massive body.
One of the snake’s heads was already losing clarity of thought, having been consumed by the struggle between the Six Paths Saint Ancestor and Lan Bing Saintess. The Divine Soul in this snake head was nearly entirely eroded and annihilated completely.
In the next moment.
The Six Paths Saint Ancestor once again split off a wisp of Divine Soul, completely taking over another snake head, gaining full control of the Three-headed Giant Snake that carried the Ancient Fierce Beast Candle Dragon bloodline.
Instantly, an overwhelmingly powerful aura descended like a sovereign in the Gray Mist Space!
Roar!!!
"Next, I, the Saint Ancestor, will unleash a Great Divine Technique to strike this array."
"Rock Demon, shortly collaborate by taking advantage of the fissure in the sealing power to remove the two Spirit Communication Treasures suppressed here."
"Without these two things, I, the Saint Ancestor, won’t be long from breaking free from Primordial Extreme Mountain."
The Rock Demon excitedly responded, quickly bowing in agreement!
"Please rest assured, Master Saint Ancestor! I will do my utmost to aid you in returning to the Human Realm!!"
"I have already gathered sufficient blood feed to help you restore your strength upon breaking free..."
The Six Paths Saint Ancestor gazed coldly, speaking in a detached manner, "Prepare to begin."
Immediately.
The Three-headed Giant Snake suddenly erupted with an immense force, streams of pitch-black demonic qi continuously pouring from between its scales, condensing into black demonic lotuses in the Gray Mist Space.
Soon, the scarlet vertical pupils of the three heads abruptly opened again, an eerie rune appearing out of thin air.
The countless suspended black demonic lotuses began to gather, centering around this rune.
Before long, the demonic lotuses grew larger, forming a hundred-zhang-sized black lotus of demonic fire.
Instantly vacuuming the demonic qi in the gray space.
Not just that, it also swept in and refined the numerous Ancient Demon remains that had fallen here.
Emitting a heart-palpitating, terrifying ripple.
The Rock Demon, witnessing this scene, was also in fear. It was not difficult for him to sense that, merely from the fluctuations of this divine technique alone, even a touch of the Black Lotus Demon Flame could instantly dissolve a Divinity Transformation Cultivator...
The Six Paths Saint Ancestor’s gaze intensified, immediately triggering the Black Lotus Demon Flame to fiercely strike at the array’s core.
Rumble!
Rumble!
All of a sudden, the immense booming sound echoed within the Gray Mist Space, terrifying shockwaves swept outward all around.
The entire space violently trembled, then countless runes flashed, as the Elemental Five Elements Demon Suppression Array combined with two Spirit Communication Treasures unleashed a massive Star Power from the void, intertwining with the Black Lotus Demon Fire in battle.
Manifesting a brilliant silver orb.
Under such terrifying power collision, even the void revealed pitch-black fissures.
"Now is the time!" said the Six Paths Saint Ancestor.
The Rock Demon followed the voice, seeing the once placed Great Derivation Celestial Star Map and Imperial Brush, these two Spirit Communication Treasures, were shaken out from the core of the array by the terrifying divine technique of the Six Paths Saint Ancestor.
All around them were terrifying void fissures.
If caught up in these void fissures, even as an Ancient Demon at the Divinity Transformation Stage, he would be shredded to pieces.
Yet he resolutely mustered all his strength, risking it all to seize the treasures.
Slash!
In the void, a few inch-long fissures brushed past the Rock Demon.
Spurt!
His incredibly powerful Demon Body instantly bore several ghastly injuries, and an arm vanished without a trace!
The cut on the wound was incredibly smooth, with no demon blood flowing out, appearing exceedingly bizarre.
The entire Rock Demon was already drenched in cold sweat. He roared furiously, while the void fissures grew more frequent, soon to shred him to pieces.
With his remaining arm, he cast a demon technique, and a black light shot out, sweeping back the two Spirit Communication Treasures!
With the Rock Demon taking down the two Supreme Treasures, the surrounding anomalies vanished!
His entire Demon Body trembled, holding the Great Derivation Celestial Star Map and Imperial Brush, he laughed wildly in excitement: "Hahahaha!"
