Chapter 865 - 659: Aftermath Turmoil
After collecting the Primordial Extreme Mountain, Qin Ming transformed into a green streak of light, his divine thought probing into the Fallen Demon Abyss.
Except for the main peak of Primordial Extreme Mountain being taken by him, all other mountains and the three major halls had collapsed into the fissure.
What surprised him, however, was that the Ascension Platform built on the cliff edge of Luotian Hall had survived this great upheaval without damage.
This also left a chance for the ascension cultivators of the Human Realm, not cutting off their path.
This ascension channel for the Human Race was also something he and Qi Xiaoyu spent considerable effort to repair and restore.
Gazing at the endless abyss before him, Qin Ming contemplated for a moment before taking out a Tier Five Array, arranging it to seal the area, stabilizing the rampant demonic qi and space to prevent mishaps.
This Tier Five Array was obtained by him after exterminating those Divinity Transformation cultivators in the Spirit Realm, and was sufficient to lock this place.
Given the level of the Human Realm cultivators, aside from himself, there was no method to unseal it, and others had no possibility of opening it.
Several days later.
Qin Ming had finished arranging the sealing grand array, and no more demonic qi gushed out.
However, with the disappearance of Primordial Extreme Mountain, the spiritual qi environment here was no longer as abundant as before.
After dealing with the matters of Primordial Extreme Mountain, he didn’t linger and directly flew back to the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm.
In the time that followed.
The matter of Primordial Extreme Mountain vanishing into thin air quickly spread throughout the entire cultivation realm, causing a huge commotion in the Human Realm.
Especially the mysterious giant eye that appeared in the sky and the suspected primordial qi fluctuations of Divinity Transformation level battle techniques led to endless speculations, but with no eyewitnesses, it was just conjecture.
When the Nascent Soul True Monarchs sent by the Divinity Transformation sects of the Human Realm came to investigate, they found the Fallen Demon Destruction Abyss beneath Primordial Extreme Mountain had been entirely sealed by someone.
Even Nascent Soul cultivators couldn’t set foot here anymore...
This was not something a cultivator could achieve; it required a level of at least Divinity Transformation Stage.
Fortunately, there was no chaos of demons running rampant, which allowed the various cultivation realms to breathe a sigh of relief.
They had not yet fully recovered from the previous Blood Realm invasion, still recuperating.
If they were to endure another Celestial Demon Tribulation, the Human Race’s heritage might truly be severed.
...
Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, Wangyue Island.
Qin Ming transformed into a streak of light and silently flew back to the main peak.
Mo Lingwei, seeing him return, immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Lord Island Master, the matter of Primordial Extreme Mountain..."
When Qin Ming left, he had mentioned to her that he would handle some matters at Primordial Extreme Mountain, never expecting such a huge commotion.
"Hmm, there indeed was a disturbance at Primordial Extreme Mountain, but I have handled it," Qin Ming replied.
Seeing him still so calm and composed, Mo Lingwei instantly felt reassured and didn’t ask further questions.
After the incident at Primordial Extreme Mountain, many major sects and factions in the cultivation realm came to Wangyue Island requesting the Divinity Transformation Venerable to preside over affairs, which Qin Ming had Mo Lingwei handle.
He himself, however, went to the cave mansion on Ling Island, hurriedly placing the unconscious Lan Bing Fairy and Qi Xiaoyu from the Little Spirit Realm onto a stone bed.
The Heaven-Devouring Rat and other beasts followed, pointing at the two, asking, "Master, are they alright?"
"I fed them the spiritual pill you gave, but it is not working."
Qin Ming employed the Yin Yang Profound Mirror divine technique, inspecting their physical conditions, discovering that the verdant vitality within them was still quite abundant.
Indicating the absence of damage to their essence.
He then remembered Qingyang the Old Demon, who with Soul Weeping Saint Ancestor entered that Soul Refining Furnace, had thrown out two items.
With a thought, he retrieved those two items from the Little Spirit Realm.
He found within the light orb, there were two spirits among Lan Bing Fairy and Qi Xiaoyu’s three souls and seven spirits sealed.
It was likely that the Soul Weeping Saint Ancestor had employed illusion techniques to stir their greatest desires, capturing this essence.
Qin Ming immediately cast spells to reintegrate the missing three souls and seven spirits back into their divine souls, restoring them to their original place.
Then, he turned to the Heaven-Devouring Rat beside him, instructing, "Go fetch some spirit liquid from the Star Sea Divine Vine branches and leaves."
Upon hearing this, the Heaven-Devouring Rat quickly scampered back to the Little Spirit Realm, skillfully fetching some spirit liquid of blue brilliance from the Star Sea Divine Vine.
Being one of the five divine woods in the cultivation realm, the Star Sea Divine Vine is greatly effective in restoring the divine soul.
Back then, Qingyang the Old Demon relied on this spirit wood to recover to the later stages.
The Heaven-Devouring Rat gently ladled the spirit liquid into their mouths.
Following this, he instructed the beasts to guard them.
Several days later.
Lan Bing Fairy and Qi Xiaoyu slowly awakened from their coma.
Upon awakening, finding themselves back on Wangyue Island, they naturally realized Qin Ming had saved their lives, filled with lingering fear.
At the time in the Litian Celestial Hall, both had fallen prey to the Demon Realm Saint Ancestor’s illusion techniques, nearly thinking they surely would die.
"You are awake? Rest and recover for some time before we talk."
Seeing them regain consciousness, Qin Ming briefly shared with them the events that had transpired afterward.
They had not expected the remaining Demon Realm Saint Ancestor’s incarnation to be much more formidable than the previous Six Paths Saint Ancestor.
If it weren’t for Qin Ming’s formidable methods, it would have been unimaginable.
Qin Ming stood alone, gazing into the distance from outside the Spirit Island.
To prevent the Soul Weeping Saint Ancestor from acting in desperation, Qingyang the Old Demon also disappeared...
In the future, he didn’t know if there would be a chance to meet again.
On his cultivation journey till now, Qingyang the Old Demon had guided him significantly.
He even imparted the Ten Thousand Forms of Selfless Celestial Demon True Scripture, a Lifebound Demon Technique, to him without reservation.
Finally, to save him, he fell into space turbulence together with the Soul of Wailing Saint Ancestor, burning himself out...
’However, listening to the Soul Weeping Saint Ancestor’s tone before his soul extinguished, it seemed he recognized Qingyang the Old Demon...’
’Could it be... this old ghost is also an existence from the Demon Realm?’
Qin Ming pondered silently, in the Ancient Demon Realm, demons who could be called Saint Ancestors were supreme beings, most likely in the Mahayana Stage...
"Alas! I’ve eradicated the soul incarnations of two great Saint Ancestors; apparently, staying in the Human Realm is no longer possible. I must hide in the Spirit Realm and bide my time..."
"Having resolved the hidden danger of the Ancient Demon in the Primordial Extreme Mountain, I’ve made a significant contribution to the Human Race!"
Qin Ming stopped lamenting and returned to his cave mansion to continue refining the Thunder Magnetic Divine Mountain.
Now that he had obtained the Primordial Extreme Divine Mountain, along with two divine mountains of different attributes, perhaps he could truly refine the True Spirit Five Extremes Mountain before breaking through to Void Refining.
In this initial stage of the Returning Void Treasure, he only needed to refine one Thunder Magnetic Divine Mountain, but inscribing Spiritual Prohibitions on it was still a colossal task.
Qin Ming had currently completed only a small part of the refining.
Besides, after acquiring the two divine mountains, his cultivation progress in the Earth Primordial Technique accelerated a lot, advancing from the initial stages to achieving Minor Success.
In the Little Spirit Realm, Qin Ming’s Lifebound Spirit Plant, the Black Vine, also revealed its terrifying side.
He stood quietly in front of the Life and Death Mysterious Vine, carefully observing the changes on it.
After absorbing the crimson giant eye transformed from the Soul Weeping Saint Ancestor, although no significant changes occurred, the gold and silver bi-colored Spirit Fruit was nearing full maturity.
It seemed to have absorbed some nutrients.
The golden text in his vision also changed accordingly.
[Name]: Life and Death Mysterious Vine [Entry]: Divinity Transformation Power x5 (Maturity 90%)
[Name]: Life and Death Mysterious Vine [Entry]: Divinity Transformation Qi Blood x5 (Maturity 92%)
[Name]: Life and Death Mysterious Vine [Entry]: Divinity Transformation Soul Power x5 (Maturity 91%)
The Black Vine felt a burst of jubilant emotions towards Qin Ming, as if inviting him to praise it.
Qin Ming looked at the black vine with amazement: "It seems my Lifebound Spirit Plant will soon ascend again... I wonder to what extent it will grow in the future."
Then.
He walked towards the small spirit field planted with Demon Grain Spirit Rice.
Over a dozen Demon Grain Spirit Rice plants emitted a rich Spiritual Qi, thriving in the Little Spirit Realm.
[Name]: Demon Grain Spirit Rice [Entry]: Divinity Transformation Power x5 (Maturity 62%)
[Name]: Demon Grain Spirit Rice [Entry]: Time Flies x5 (Maturity 62%)
[Name]: Demon Grain Spirit Rice [Entry]: Divinity Transformation Soul Power x5 (Maturity 61%)
Seeing the Spirit Rice growing well, Qin Ming nodded with satisfaction, then cast the Great Five Elements Spirit Rain Technique, watering the spirit field.
After the fusion of the Immortal Mansion Treasure with the Little Spirit Realm, the Spiritual Qi began to recover gradually, and the Spirit Vein environment of Yanxu Spirit Mountain reached the Tier Five Top-Grade level.
...
After resting on Wangyue Island for two months.
Qin Ming felt the timing was right, preparing to use the Realm-Breaking Shuttle to return to the Spirit Realm.
This trip not only accomplished the purpose of retrieving the Immortal Mansion Treasure but also gained the Primordial Extreme Mountain, an unexpected joy.
After returning to the Spirit Realm, he wouldn’t have to worry about cultivation resources for a long time.
He immediately had the Little Silver Fox summon Qi Xiaoyu and Yue Lingyan to the Spirit Island.
Then he directly asked, "Two fellow cultivators, I plan to return to the Spirit Realm shortly. Previously, I wasn’t confident in taking you to ascend, but now I have a treasure; even if you are only at Nascent Soul Perfection, I can take you to ascend to the Spirit Realm. It’s up to you to decide."
Both were greatly surprised at his words, but after considering for a moment.
"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Qin. Yue’er following you has already been a great fortune. There are still matters within the Fox Race that need my attention. I will aim for the Tier Five Demon Venerable realm in the Human Realm, and then reunite with you." Although reluctant to be separated from her child again, Yue Lingyan still said.
Qin Ming understood her meaning. Before Yue Lingyan could ascend, the Fox Race had to cultivate another successor of at least Tier Four for her to leave at ease.
Otherwise, she could go with Qin Ming, but she couldn’t abandon her large clan.
Qin Ming nodded slightly and asked Qi Xiaoyu, "What about you, Brother Qi?"
Qi Xiaoyu, having recovered from his injuries after some rest, decided to aim for the Divinity Transformation in the Human Realm and ascend on his own to the Spirit Realm.
He seemed to have something he couldn’t let go of as well.
Qin Ming respected their decisions and immediately informed them of his whereabouts: "This time, I will go to the main city of the Human Race in the Spirit Realm—Celestial Star City. You can ascend to the Upper Realm through the Ascension Platform in the Fallen Demon Destruction Abyss."
He then told them the method to open the Grand Array’s restriction and handed them several Transmission Stones.
