Night Without End

Chapter 1420 - 593: Unprecedented (Part 3)

Speaking of nothing else, even now, Qin Ming’s attack power is unmatched in the Domain.

After all, two years ago, before he broke through the major barrier, he defeated the Fourth Realm master Cui Chonghe, who was one of the most famous Immortal Seeds on the Immortal Road.

"You were born specifically for my rebirth system as a Pioneer," Zhou Shize spoke, eyes bright, carefully observing the young man before him.

"Your praise is too generous, elder," Qin Ming humbly replied.

He knew well that the mountains of the Six Imperial Ancestor Court towered high; it was unwise to delve too deeply.

Zhou Shize said, "At the pace of your cultivation, in twenty years, you may reach the Grandmaster Realm. If so, compared to other prodigies on different paths, you’re nothing short of exceptional. Considering the difficulty level of our system’s cultivation, your achievements qualify you to vie for that heavenly Saint position."

"Forty years old... becoming a Grandmaster, for our Newborn Road, is like a legend!"

A group of elderly men grew extremely excited, nearly shouting.

Zhou Shize said, "With fortune, even thirty-something years old is not impossible."

His mood was complex, reminiscing about the past; how old was he when he entered the Fourth Realm? As for the Grandmaster Domain, he only stepped into it two years ago.

And his age had long surpassed a hundred years, over a hundred and fifty, to be precise.

Even so, within the rebirth system, he still belonged to the "Young and Strong Faction."

"Hoping to become a Grandmaster in your thirties... that would be unprecedented!"

Qin Ming laughed, saying, "Dear elders, we’re all acquaintances, don’t praise me too highly."

A group invited him into a palace built with Lapis Lazuli; it was the place where the upper echelon of Six Imperial hosted distinguished guests.

At twenty-two, Qin Ming broke through to the Fourth Realm and set foot here, which was quite an event. The news caused a huge stir in the dojo, with many coming just to see him from afar.

In the Giant Palace appeared the Six Royal Ancestor, the youngest disciple of Lu Yu, and the flag-bearer under the Ancestor Master, currently in the Grandmaster Realm, at the peak of his time.

Qin Ming had long heard of the Young Ancestor’s name; in the past, this person was like a Heavenly Dragon in the clouds, mysterious and distant.

Today, the Young Ancestor personally came to see him.

Years ago, many young people first arriving at the Six Imperial Ancestor Court witnessed the Young Ancestor’s practice place, where vegetation infused with his Tao Rhythm turned golden.

Years back, Qin Ming heard this person possessed the demeanor of an Ancestor Master.

Now, he naturally understood that changing the landscape with Tao Rhythm was due to contact with fragments of order; barring accidents, this person surely would become Ancestor Master.

The Young Ancestor seemed to have undergone rejuvenation; now he appeared neither old nor young, looking like thirty or forty, more vigorous than his aged senior brothers in the rumors.

His lightly golden hair, much of it already turning black.

"Greetings, Young Ancestor," Qin Ming saluted.

"No need for formality," the Young Ancestor stopped him, nodding repeatedly, then waved away the others.

He continued, "No wonder you were valued by Lu Zizai."

Upon hearing, Qin Ming immediately said, "I was just about to seek advice; which realm is Brother Lu exploring nowadays?"

The Young Ancestor shook his head, saying, "I don’t know where he’s gone, with no news to this day. However, before leaving, he said within a few years, or ten years at the latest, you would come visiting. He left you a wooden box."

Qin Ming was amazed; did Lu Zizai foresee his cultivation progress in advance?

His visit to the Six Imperial Ancestor Court this time aimed to borrow the Six Imperial True Scripture.

The Young Ancestor handed Qin Ming a wooden box, saying, "This was left by him before he left."

His words were brief, delivering it and then rising to depart.

The wooden box was sealed; Qin Ming exerted a bit of force, breaking it open, and Lu Zizai’s shadow dispersed into rain of light.

The supposed seal was merely a gesture, mainly to prevent erosion by ants, insects, water, fire, etc.

Qin Ming discovered that inside were two scriptures.

One was the "Six Imperial Heart Sutra," the other the "Heaven Cutting Strategy," two great True Scriptures placed together, these were what Lu Zizai left for him.

Qin Ming was lost in thought; this visit didn’t even require him to state his purpose, as Lu Zizai had already prepared in advance.

"Brother Lu once guessed I might break through to the Grandmaster Realm within several years; truly worthy of one who has stepped into the Supreme Domain."

Qin Ming solemnly put away the two books; these weren’t originals but were personally handwritten by Lu Zizai and could be taken away.

When he walked out of the Giant Palace, he noticed a vast crowd; both men and women, young and old, had come to see him, the figurehead of Newborn Road who reached the Fourth Realm at twenty-two.

"So young; when I’m forty, could I reach his height?"

"An extraordinary talent; he actually cultivated only for six years, strictly speaking, surpassing many Immortal Seeds and Divine Seeds in breakthrough speed!"

Qin Ming spotted a familiar face, Cao Wuji, and went over to greet him.

"Qin Ming, you still remember me," Cao Wuji was very excited, striding over.

Qin Ming said with a smile, "It’s only been a few years; how could I forget? You’re testing me, aren’t you?"

Cao Wuji quickly shook his head, saying, "I didn’t mean it that way. Alas, we’re the same age, both mutants back then, but now a great realm difference exists."

Qin Ming said, "No rush, Newborn Road is about building up to the breakthrough."

"Are you sure that’s appropriate?" Cao Wuji no longer wanted to talk to him.

Qin Ming pondered, then silently passed him a spell for tempering the body, combining the Diamond Sutra, Extreme Golden Body, and other principles, possibly assisting him in strengthening his bones to break through the major barrier soon.

An unexpected person appeared; Cui Chongxuan came over, whispering, "Brother."

Qin Ming put an arm around his shoulder, saying, "No matter what happened with the Cui Family, we grew up together and are always brothers."
