Chapter 467: Chapter 277: All Eyes on Every Side (Part 2)
People on the Immortal Road all had strange expressions and finally said unceremoniously, "We would love to teach, but can you learn it?"
In their understanding, taking the Newborn Road was a helpless choice for those people, as they lacked special talents and were unrelated to the Immortal Road or Esoteric Buddhism, getting eliminated at the most crucial turning point in their lives.
"Do teach!" So far, Qin Ming had only been stumped by the Silk Scripture for a long time, while he could conquer other scriptures in a short period.
The people from the Outer World laughed, thinking that if the other party could comprehend, they would have already become a person of the Immortal Road.
Since the other party wanted to try, they didn’t mind striking him down.
Renowned young expert of the Immortal Road, Jiang Yunfan, spoke, "Alright, I’ll demonstrate a powerful killer move that every Immortal Road disciple would study seriously."
He couldn’t disclose the Essential Scripture, only the widely circulated technique on the Immortal Road, named: Consciousness Sword Wave.
In an instant, centered on him, glowing ripples spread, expanding outward. When it slightly brushed against the fake mountain in the courtyard, it shattered it like a hammer breaking a dried leaf.
He quickly withdrew his skill to avoid destroying the entire courtyard.
Subsequently, he elaborated on this attack method.
Moments later, centered on Qin Ming, golden radiance rippled, first as ripples, then waves, crashing outward with a loud boom, reducing the fake mountain to powder, entirely disappearing.
Jiang Yunfan’s face turned stiff, the opponent comprehended the technique on the spot and mastered it directly? This was incredibly outrageous!
Chu Yuan, the middle-aged man responsible for recent dealings on the Immortal Road, whose deep eyes intertwined with silver patterns, said, "He used Heavenly Light instead, and merely mixed in a small amount of the Power of Consciousness, achieving a similar effect."
Nevertheless, Jiang Yunfan was still shocked by the Newborn Road youth’s display of astonishing comprehension.
Qin Ming calmly asked, "Could you discuss some killer moves? After all, I’m going to have a decisive battle with the Sun Elf clan; ordinary dharmas are unworthy, not fitting for my identity as an Immortal Seed, and seem unreal."
"Fine!" Jiang Yunfan, feeling competitive, chose a well-known killer move, named God Suppressing Nail!
It uses the Spiritual Field to forge a Pure Yang Divine Nail, engraved with one hundred and eight mysterious symbols. Once nailed into the opponent’s consciousness, it could kill the mind and spirit!
This time, Qin Ming sat for a long while but eventually replicated the God Suppressing Nail.
"This..." Jiang Yunfan was dumbfounded, as it was much faster than he had achieved back then.
Chu Yuan said, "He grafted techniques from the Newborn Road, and the effect... is indeed the same."
Jiang Yunfan’s stubborn temper arose, unwilling to believe in magic, he externally manifested "Immortal Scene," depicting a lonesome and melancholic autumn night river scene.
He spoke in a deep voice, "The external manifestation of the Immortal Scene materializes a deeply understood cultivation technique into a miraculous scene, proving by heart."
This was not a specific technique but an artistic conception, and he didn’t believe Qin Ming could improvise it on the spot.
However, Qin Ming’s "sudden realization" was faster than he imagined, displaying parts of the true essence of the Withering and Flourishing Scripture, and it was quite similar to Jiang Yunfan’s Immortal Scene conception.
Outside Qin Ming, the night was deep, the bright moon sinking, lone crows wailing mournfully, dead leaves mixed with frost flowers, swept into the river by the autumn wind in the depths of the night fog.
This Immortal Scene involved powers like Taiyin and Withering and Flourishing, blending the scripture meanings of more than one Miracle Technique. Once erupted, its power was terrifying.
Jiang Yunfan was completely lost, for even if the opponent substituted with Heavenly Light, it was enough to demonstrate extraordinary intuition, as he truly understood the conceptions involved in those Miracle Techniques.
"Again!"
"Alright!"
...
In the end, Jiang Yunfan had a sense of defeat, which completely contradicted his original intention. Instead of flummoxing the opponent, he himself was deeply struck.
"Stop!" Chu Yuan hurriedly halted them, lest his famous and brilliant disciple nephew becomes obsessed, as his heart was already unstable.
Jiang Yunfan stood dejectedly aside, not uttering a single word.
"Let me teach you a move or two," Chu Yuan spoke, having taken charge of this task, he long found Qin Ming displeasing to the eye.
Immediately, he released a big move—the Raising Clouds Ascension Technique.
In just a moment, Qin Ming replicated it with Heavenly Light.
To him, it was a method of explosive power descending over ten times of comprehension using the Silk Scripture meaning to govern all laws, simply allowing part of it, a dozen Heavenly Light Forces, to burst forth. He roughly mirrored the opponent’s means.
Instantly, radiant light rain surged, he stood there transcendent and unscathed, like a near-immortal person about to ascend riding clouds.
Chu Yuan was also taken aback. The technique he demonstrated was challenging, yet the other party learned it quicker, as if he were his disciple nephew.
Then, gritting his teeth, he demonstrated the Golden Wave Immortal Treasure.
Half an hour later, Qin Ming, who had been sitting, opened his eyes and stood up to wield the technique.
"Impossible!" Chu Yuan was completely dazed, for he used the Supreme Essential Technique of the Immortal Road to activate the ultimate skill, yet how could the other party imitate it with Heavenly Light?
In the end, Chu Yuan and Jiang Yunfan left with dazed expressions.
Behind them, Qin Ming muttered to himself, "Are all the Immortal Road dharmas this easy? If I knew this, I should have taken the simplest Immortal Road back then."
Chu Yuan’s body stiffened, and Jiang Yunfan stumbled a few steps, the two paused slightly before quickly vanishing.
Are the Immortal Road dharmas simple? Naturally not, they are extremely profound. Qin Ming’s inner self was reborn with the Newborn, while externally an Immortal Scene, grafting Heavenly Light Force, making it seem easy.
However, if he hadn’t been delayed by the Cui Family back then, he could undoubtedly have traversed the Immortal Road, and entered Esoteric Buddhism’s realm. As for now, whenever he cultivates Divine Wisdom or Consciousness Spiritual Light, they would be mixed into the Heavenly Light, making it hard to settle.
Much later, the Immortal Road experts guiding Xiang Yiwu and Xiao Wu from the middle and young generations also walked out from the corresponding courtyards.
They were quite astonished, sensing that the talents of these two were exceptionally outstanding.
A middle-aged man laughed, "Brother Chu and Nephew Jiang have left? Could it be that you can’t learn, and annoyed them into leaving?"
"No need to grasp the essence, mastering the basics is sufficient, isn’t it?" a young man beside him also laughed and said.
Following that, the perplexed group quickly left.
In the evening, Jiang Yunfan suddenly understood and said, "I realized, he is transforming some fundamental techniques from the Newborn Road, he actually doesn’t understand the Immortal Road that well!"
He nearly had his "heart broken," even so, he felt empty inside, still possessing a sense of failure.
At dusk, when the Fire Spring of Chongxiao City was considered to be regulated dimly, someone came to escort Qin Ming, Xiang Yiwu, and Xiao Wu on their way, advancing to the arena ahead of time.
"On the moon?" Qin was truly not expecting it.
Neither lectures from the Ancestor Master nor disciple interactions, all were conducted in the night sky.
Xiao Wu was suddenly enlightened, "No wonder it’s been getting harder to book a lunar visit recently, so the Immortal Road and the Sun Elf Clan are debating there!"
In the evening, Meng Xinghai traveled along with them.
A high-grade exotic beast with wings pulled their carriage, carrying them upward, heading towards the moon.
The bright moon hung high in the thick night sky, a unique spectacle exclusive to Da Yu Imperial City.
Seated on the carriage, borne by the high-grade exotic beast, Qin Ming and his companions arrived upon the moon.
"Breaking news, the Ancestor Master’s lecture should be ending soon!"
"I hope after the duel reignites, this time they can defeat the Sun Elf Clan."
Slight leaks of information caused the outside world to surge with anticipation, people throughout the Night Fog regions began eagerly awaiting.
Undoubtedly, this battle against foreign clans had long captured the attention of countless people.
As soon as Qin Ming and his group disembarked, before familiarizing with the surroundings, they saw a group of foreign youths, including the three Sun Elves they once encountered by the Shuyu River.
"These should be their players to come forward, not impressive at all. One is as broad as a door, a young one looks prematurely aged, nearly bald, and the other one’s calm demeanor makes me want to burn through his Consciousness Spiritual Light right away."
"Hmm, I’ve seen them, they should be Power Warriors!"
Evidently, the private behavior of the Sun Elf Clan was far from as gentle and low-key as external rumors suggested.
They were laughing and discussing in Elvish, assuming that the people opposite couldn’t understand.
"When is the duel scheduled? I’m getting impatient!" Qin Ming said, resonating with the intense emotional waves from across and knowing how they were discussing their side.
