Chapter 478: Chapter 285: The Immortal Contract Is Sealed
The Pathfinders of the Immortal Road and the ancestors of the Sun Elf Clan naturally wouldn’t personally come to the South Heavenly Gate; they are drinking tea in the Blessed Land of the Da Yu Imperial City, where the Spiritual Material is the most abundant.
Since the Ancestor Masters are not present, the Great Grandmaster is the "heaven" on the moon.
The elderly Sun Elf, although his hair is gray and there are slight wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his features are still handsome, carrying a mature aura deposited with time.
"Ling Canghai, do you want to destroy the friendship between our two clans?" he asked, somewhat anxiously, worried about Li Guang.
Great Grandmaster Ling Canghai smiled faintly: "It’s just a little sparring between the juniors, old friend, why get so worked up? Come, sit down and have a cup of tea."
He sat there, immortal fog surged forward, falling petals everywhere, and an azure jade table unfolded, thin as a cicada’s wing porcelain cups appeared, with the fragrance of tea curling upward.
Who is in the mood to drink tea with you? The old Sun Elf was about to flip the table.
However, this was an Immortal Scene constructed by Consciousness Spiritual Light, and he couldn’t easily shake it.
"Brother, with you and me here, are you still worried something might happen? Come, have some tea." Even at over two hundred years old, Ling Canghai was still graceful like jade.
No wonder when he was a hundred and ninety years old, his father-in-law was just born.
Unsuspectingly, although the two Great Grandmasters appeared peaceful, they had already begun to compete.
Meanwhile, a gentle male voice echoed in Qin Ming’s heart: "Young friend, she might be of high elven Imperial blood. If you win, ask her carefully about the real and unreal aspects of the Divine Tomb and Immortal Tomb, as well as various details— the more thorough, the better."
Qin Ming knew who was sending him the message.
Ling Canghai hadn’t mentioned the truth about the Sun Elf Girl using the Secret Text; if the young man lost and was subdued on the spot, he could only blame his skills for being inferior.
Some old folks on the Immortal Road actually had dark hearts; some of them had long wanted to intervene, looking for a chance to explore the consciousness of the Sun Elf’s direct lineage, but they couldn’t make a direct move for fear of the ancestors flipping out. Now, justifiably, someone could do it for them.
"I’m perfectly fine!" Li Guang secretly replied to the old elf. By now, she was also fighting with True Fire and even taking risks eventually.
The main reason was she had activated a Forbidden Technique, incorporating multi-domain magic, forming almost a domain. She took advantage of the situation to go further and cast that Secret Text.
The old elf hesitated; seeing her so confident, usually emphasizing stability, now he was somewhat silent. Coupled with the Great Grandmaster’s obstruction, he stopped momentarily.
Ling Canghai said: "Actually, I can’t bear to watch either. It’s just a spar; your side is using ’strong material’ directly, which is a bit excessive. Do you want to stop and can’t? Hmm, Brother, have a cup of my tea; I assure you she won’t be harmed."
Qin Ming noticed that many prominent figures on the Immortal Road were watching intently, quite expectantly.
At the same time, he also learned from the discussions of those famous figures and nobles in front of the South Heavenly Gate who the old handsome man was; the Great Grandmaster had intervened.
Though unsure of the details, being watched by such figures made him uncomfortable.
"I’m just a substitute fighter; is it necessary to fight hard?" Qin Ming didn’t want to get too involved.
Actually, he had long completed his task well.
However, the Sun Elf Girl opposite was madly exerting force, constructing an inexplicably strange scene, extremely real and increasingly dangerous.
Qin Ming now had methods to Break the Law, but he didn’t want to reveal his trump card. Some old folks on the Immortal Road are not kind; being too "acknowledged" by them is not a good thing.
After he dodged out, he timely spoke: "That’s about enough, we’re only engaging in friendly sparring, do you intend to battle to the death?"
Who is friendly with you? Right now, all Li Guang wanted to do was subdue him.
Over on the Sun Elf side, the group was about to explode; friendly, my foot, didn’t they see Guang Yu’s eyes spitting fire? His bald head was about to catch fire.
They thought: Don’t you have any idea of what you have done?
The terrifying strange scene around Li Guang had already "descended" completely, and this was all due to Qin Ming’s indulgence. If he had intervened earlier, perhaps success was possible.
During this time, he stood at a distance, occasionally raising his hand to shoot Heavenly Light Force, although "trying" to block, he had no intention to stop.
"That Sun Elf Clan girl is too strong; even standing on the sideline, my mind was affected. I almost knelt there just now."
Many young Disciples on the Immortal Road felt this deeply and had long retreated far back.
Even so, some were still somewhat mentally shaken.
In the Battle arena, Li Guang’s aura increased to a new height.
She stood under a lush Ancient Tree of Life, surrounded by vibrant mountain flowers, layered vines with dew, and trickling streams, as if entering a vibrant Pure Land.
At this moment, her golden robe was in tatters, but the Crimson Gold Armor was intact; her golden hair shimmered like satin, her face exceedingly beautiful, her purple eyes deep, standing under the verdantly green Divine Tree, she possessed the aura of an Enlightenment seeker about to transcend the mortal world, indescribably ethereal and transcendent.
Everything was but an appearance. Once she initiated the attack, an unfathomable power expanded, causing many young Disciples near the South Heavenly Gate to groan.
At this moment, Li Guang and the extraordinary scene around her moved together at incredible speed, waging assault towards the youth in the field.
The Ancient Tree of Life shook, the leaves rustled, chanting sounded, black clouds surged above it, and the blood-dripping Big Sun radiated a dazzling light. Although Qin Ming, in the field, was unaffected, outside many young Disciples already clutched their heads, screaming miserably.
Undoubtedly, the destructive power of such a Forbidden Technique was beyond imagination.
However, Qin Ming didn’t take the bait, almost teleporting away; he was just a worker, hadn’t revealed his trump card earlier, so why fight hard now?
Li Guang was stunned; this guy was so bold before, traversing the dangerous regions of the Sun and Moon Dual Wheel and Dragon Sparrow Sacred Evil explosion, trying to bloody fight her; now he retreating without a fight?
She had built up momentum for so long, launched a top-tier Immortal Path Technique, but could only strike the air; what a mess, wasn’t her dedication and effort all wasted?
Li Guang chased with a Forbidden Immortal Scene, like a floating light, incredibly fast.
This scene was rather terrifying; wherever the nearby battle-watching areas were, young Disciples would groan, stagger backward, faces pale as a ghost.
They were deterred by the Scripture, suppressed by the Big Sun; it seemed as if an unknown Divine Country connected to the ancient tree, emitting an inexplicable oppression.
Qin Ming was not exactly fleeing; he was fighting while retreating, engaging her in guerrilla warfare, utilizing the Five Elements Qi to launch targeted attacks.
He sporadically burst out with Heavenly Light Force, all targeting the area beneath Li Guang’s feet, aiming to blast through that vibrant soil.
Li Guang’s expression slightly changed; her opponent’s intuition was too sharp, directly striking the vital point.
The blood-dripping Big Sun amidst the black fog was a double-edged sword. She relied entirely on the Ancient Tree of Life to support and protect herself. Yet, this guy was so abnormal that he had already seen through it, "loosening the soil" for the Divine Tree.
She felt a bit stifled. Even though she had cultivated an invincible momentum, the opponent refused to engage head-on, continually maneuvering to waste time.
This forbidden method was difficult to maintain for long.
The key was that the battle area was too vast; the area outside the South Heavenly Gate was incredibly spacious. Whenever her opponent dodged, he would escape to a brand-new region.
The veterans of the Immortal Road felt complex emotions, realizing that the same origin Immortal Law could restrain Qin Ming, making him reluctant to confront directly. They couldn’t help but nod, yet now they hoped for his victory.
"He’s at it again!"
The young disciples of the Immortal Road retreated repeatedly, and as a result, Qin Ming, in the arena, circled over and over towards them, making them share in the hardship and experience that oppressive feeling of the impending collapse of the Spiritual Field.
Li Guang gritted her teeth, causing the Ancient Tree of Life to radiantly glow, with green mist soaring into the sky, and the night fog completely erupting with incomparably powerful energy fluctuations.
Then, it carried the eerie Big Sun from within the black fog entirely away from her, pressing towards Qin Ming.
Before her, there only floated a piece of glowing paper, interwoven with runes, inscribed with mysterious text, which was the Immortal Contract capable of subduing Power Warriors.
"Can this really be locked on?" Qin Ming was also shocked.
He continuously dodged, practically teleporting, but the mystical scene still followed, bringing with it an indescribable pressure that made the ground crack, the void distort, and the night fog evaporate. Even he felt like he was about to be torn apart, while the Spiritual Field felt like it was about to explode.
Li Guang didn’t seem to be having it easy either, her face deathly pale as she drove this mystical scene.
At the same time, she stretched her long legs and rushed forward quickly, a glowing Immortal Contract flowing with densely packed text in front of her forehead.
She was ready to launch it at any moment, to paste the "Light Paper" onto her opponent.
Qin Ming protected himself with the Heavenly Light Force, struggling to break free from the suppression of the Ancient Tree of Life and the Big Sun.
However, even with his near-instantaneous movement, this mystical scene tangled with him, trying to completely swallow him, dragging him towards the eerie Big Sun within the black fog.
His head felt like it was splitting open; that blood-red sun absolutely had a major issue.
"Haha, you’re finally at this point. Where else can you run? You can’t possibly ascend to the heavens, can you?" From the foreign races, a group of Sun Elves finally felt an exhaled breath.
Then, they were dumbfounded; Qin Ming really ascended to the heavens.
Qin Ming rode upon the mighty Azure Dragon Saint’s Slaughter, soaring through the exploded night fog.
"This..." the Sun Elf calling out slapped his own mouth.
Li Guang was resentful, doing her utmost to lift the mystical scene, pursuing towards the night sky.
In truth, Qin Ming soon fell, only able to linger in the air briefly, unable to truly fly high.
He attempted to ride the Vermilion Bird to the heavens, but this time he failed, being completely locked in by the terrifying scene, forcefully dragged away.
"Oh no!" many people exclaimed in shock.
"Indeed, the Vermilion Bird Holy Slaughter bestowed upon him had already wounded its origin before, now it shows its defects. In the future, when he tries to reverse Yin and Yang, it might lead to imbalance," an old senior of the Immortal Road spoke calmly, only audible to the nearby veterans of the Immortal Road.
In their view, given the urgency at the time, it was natural for Qin Ming not to find a Legendary abnormality to feed the Vermilion Bird.
At this moment, Qin Ming was under unprecedented pressure, turning extremely serious, having chosen a risky endeavor; he absolutely must not falter here.
The Ancient Tree of Life seemed as if each leaf recorded some kind of Scripture Meaning, rustling and flipping, suddenly streaming with countless Engravings, appearing like countless Immortal Laws cascading down.
Qin Ming’s body was covered by the Five Elements Light Wheel, opposing the manifested Scripture Technique. Moreover, he wielded a Five Colored Blade, frantically digging at the tree roots.
Li Guang’s face turned pale. She seemed unable to leave this mystical scene for too long, and when the Life Tree was being uprooted, her body staggered.
Qin Ming seemed to bear a mountain on his back, enduring unimaginable pressure, but upon seeing her state, he immediately became reinvigorated, beginning to dig furiously.
He felt like he was loosening the soil for the Life Divine Tree while also uprooting Li Guang’s foundation.
Suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine, narrowly avoiding the erosion of a drop of fresh blood while enduring the dense Immortal Path Techniques from the swaying ancient tree.
When it fell, the void resounded and shook, seeming to twist.
What was its origin from that Big Sun?
"That is... an Immortal!" exclaimed the Great Grandmaster Ling Canghai.
At this moment, Li Guang, her face bloodless, charged forward, her golden hair flowing, her lovely figure somewhat unstable, attempting to rush into the mystical scene.
"Get out of here!" Qin Ming blasted outward with the Heavenly Light Force, trying to prevent her from entering.
In the distance, a group of Sun Elves were at a loss; this was indeed usurping the magpie’s nest.
Qin Ming preferred to endure mountain-like pressure rather than let her enter this mystical scene.
Li Guang decisively launched the "Light Paper" floating before her forehead. Instantly, a large number of words emerged in the entire void, resembling a ritual connecting her and Qin Ming.
"The Immortal Contract is complete," Ling Canghai said calmly, indicating that at this step, the ritual formally took effect.
