Chapter 866 - 660: Kunlun Realm
"Thank you, Brother Qin." Qi Xiaoyu took the item from Qin Ming’s hand.
Qin Ming waved his hand and instructed him, "This Ascension Platform is the only route for Divinity Transformation Cultivators from the Human Realm to the Spirit Realm. When you ascend, pass on the method to unlock the restriction to those Divinity Transformation Sects."
"Alright, rest assured, Brother Qin." Qi Xiaoyu immediately nodded in agreement.
Afterwards.
Qin Ming immediately turned to Mo Lingwei and asked, "Before you leave, do you have anything to explain to your clan members?"
She shook her head, "Reporting to Lord Island Master, I have already given my final instructions upon arrival, they will continue to guard Wangyue Island."
Qin Ming looked back at the Spirit Island where he had cultivated for hundreds of years and said with some emotion, "The rise and fall of all things in the world have their own destiny, no need to force anything."
He then called Hua Tianxiong, made his farewells, and handed Wangyue Island over to Mo Lingwei and his descendants.
Hua Tianxiong almost wept, "I, Hua Tianxiong, by a stroke of fate, embarked on the Immortal Path. In my youth, I wasted much precious time. Otherwise, I too should have followed the master to the Spirit Realm now. Yet there are no regrets in this life, may the master’s Immortal Dao remain evergreen."
"Mm, take care of yourself."
After some pleasantries.
Qin Ming waved his sleeve, and a silver Flying Shuttle dozens of meters in size appeared.
He let Mo Lingwei and Heaven-Devouring Rat enter, then himself entered the Realm-Breaking Shuttle as well.
"This journey to the Spirit Realm, who knows when we shall return to the Human Realm again..."
He then filled the spirit core of the Realm-Breaking Shuttle with Top-Grade Spirit Stones without further sentiment.
Buzz~
A powerful spatial ripple echoed above the celestial vault, mysterious rune restrictions lit up on the Realm-Breaking Shuttle.
Then, in the void ahead, a twisted light gate appeared, and with a flash, the Realm-Breaking Shuttle disappeared into it.
Inside the Realm-Breaking Shuttle, Mo Lingwei watched as the scenery rapidly receded, her heart and spirit profoundly shocked.
It was her first time experiencing such a means of traversing between great realms, elevating her understanding of Qin Ming’s power to an unimaginable height.
To her knowledge, without the Ascension Platform, traveling between two realms like this seemed beyond even the Void Refining Great Power’s ability.
Qin Ming saw her astonishment and explained, "This Realm-Breaking Shuttle is somewhat unique, not all great realms can be traversed at will."
"It can only travel between Human Realm, Spirit Realm, and Netherworld, its usage is limited."
Hearing his explanation, Mo Lingwei realized the situation, but knowing Qin Ming could control such an extraordinary spatial supreme treasure was remarkable.
Time passed swiftly.
The Realm-Breaking Shuttle quickly traversed the vast star domain, though this time he wouldn’t pass through the Netherworld en route to the Spirit Realm.
When he descended via Netherworld Abyss, he was closest to the Netherworld, there was no other way.
Qin Ming hadn’t anticipated drawing the attention of Netherworld’s Great Power.
Thus, this time, with experience, he directly controlled the Flying Spirit Disc, bypassing the Netherworld, even if it meant taking a longer route and spending more time to safely reach the Spirit Realm.
Moreover, he had the void coordinates of Kunlun Realm, and headed directly towards it.
Qin Ming avoided using the Human Realm’s Ascension Platform to prevent frequent presence that might alert the Spirit Realm’s inspector.
After setting the route on the Flying Spirit Disc, it required no more attention, so he let Heaven-Devouring Rat control the Realm-Breaking Shuttle.
"Hehe! Great, it’s my turn to pilot the Shuttle!"
Heaven-Devouring Rat was beyond excited hearing this.
Qin Ming took a Realm Transformation Pill from the storage pouch and gave it to Mo Lingwei, allowing her to ingest it.
"Lord Island Master, this is..."
Mo Lingwei accepted the Spirit Pill, and with her insight, she could tell it was an extremely rare Tier Five Spiritual Pill, though its exact function was unknown.
Qin Ming explained, "This is the Realm Transformation Pill... It can eliminate the Otherworld aura of Lower Realm Cultivators, merging your aura with the Spirit Realm, preventing rejection."
He immediately gave her detailed instructions about the matters ascension cultivators should attend to upon arriving in the Spirit Realm.
When Mo Lingwei learned that such Spirit Pills were controlled by the high-levels of the Human Race City, she was shocked beyond words.
The rarity of this pill was evident.
"Both of us are akin to smuggling to the Upper Realm; you can disguise as a Loose Cultivator, no need to serve duties in Immortal City for the Realm Transformation Pill," Qin Ming said.
Mo Lingwei immediately ingested the pill, then thanked, "Thank you, Lord Island Master, for granting the pill!"
"No problem, you’re working for me, you’ll need to take it sooner or later in the Spirit Realm," Qin Ming waved his hand and said, "Also, in the Spirit Realm, I’ve found a partner for you. You can cooperate in decisions when you carry out tasks."
"This person is Baili Hui, a native of Spirit Realm Human Race, has some special connections and is quite clever and reliable."
He immediately explained Baili Hui’s situation to Mo Lingwei.
Upon hearing that this person failed in Void Refining breakthrough and became demonized as a dwarf, Mo Lingwei felt a mix of emotions.
However, since Qin Ming used him, there must be something exceptional about him.
She immediately agreed.
After more than half a year of traversal, the Top-Grade Spirit Stones powering the Realm-Breaking Shuttle were nearly depleted.
Heaven-Devouring Rat controlled the shuttle, gazing at the void coordinate light dot on the Flying Spirit Disc, eyes filled with excitement, and said to Qin Ming, "Master, we’re arriving at Kunlun Realm in the Spirit Realm, where should we land?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming became invigorated, immediately stepped forward, and pointed to a mountain range, saying:
"Let’s land here; it’s sparsely populated, and won’t reveal any traces of our realm-breaking arrival, also not far from Celestial Star City."
He was going to Celestial Star City, one of the main cities of the Human Race, for the first time and was relatively cautious about it.
After all, this place was unlike any other, with numerous capable cultivators emerging, incomparable to the Profound Celestial Realm.
"Alright!" The Heaven-Devouring Rat began casting spells to control the landing point of the Realm-Breaking Shuttle.
...
Several days later.
Kunlun Realm.
On a desolate mountain range, a barren expanse devoid of even Demon Beasts.
Only a few stone insects were lazily basking in the sun.
Buzz!
Suddenly!
The nearby space began to distort, and the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi trembled violently.
A space rift, tens of zhang in size, appeared halfway up the mountain, with terrifying void turbulence devouring everything nearby, as if turning into nothingness...
Immediately after, a silver brilliance flashed, and a silver Flying Shuttle emerged from the void vortex, hovering quietly in mid-air.
The space rift behind it dissipated simultaneously, with the surrounding anomalies settling, returning to normal.
A blue Escape Light flew out from the silver Flying Shuttle, revealing the figure of Qin Ming.
He promptly raised his hand, and the Realm-Breaking Shuttle in mid-air shrank continuously and was collected by him.
Lan Bing Fairy and Mo Lingwei gently floated down, landing beside Qin Ming.
It was also their first time in the Kunlun Realm, and they looked around curiously.
Especially Mo Lingwei, her eyes filled with curiosity for the unknown, sighing in admiration:
"The Spiritual Qi in the Spirit Realm is indeed exceptionally abundant."
Qin Ming smiled faintly: "This is still a remote and deserted place. When you reach a Cultivation City, then you’ll know what a real sacred land for cultivation is."
"Your appearances are too striking; it would be better to disguise yourselves."
With that, maintaining a low profile, Qin Ming gave each of them an ’Illusion Spirit Pill’ for disguising their appearances, personally refined by him, a Tier Five Pill that could change form and appearance, undetectable even by a Void Refining Stage Cultivator.
These two would often be by his side in the future, so they also needed to disguise themselves.
Subsequently.
He first let Lan Bing Fairy enter the Little Spirit Realm, as she had the True Spirit Bloodline, allowing her to settle there until the right moment to call her out again.
With preparations mostly done, Qin Ming then removed the surrounding aura with spells and took out a jade scroll map to check the direction.
Then he, along with Mo Lingwei, flew full force towards the east.
From the Flying Spirit Disc, it seemed they weren’t very far from Celestial Star City.
But the actual journey was still far; even with their speed at the Divinity Transformation Stage, it would take about a month to reach.
Qin Ming had the Heaven-Devouring Rat land here just in case, as the surveillance methods in the Spirit Realm couldn’t be predicted.
He disguised himself as the likeness of Lii Qianjie from the Profound Celestial Realm, an ordinary-looking middle-aged cultivator.
This way, his identity would make sense at that time.
On the journey, Qin Ming did not flaunt himself, driving the Lingxiao Imperial Carriage straightforwardly towards Celestial Star City.
However.
Just as they were halfway to the Immortal City.
Inside the carriage, Qin Ming was leisurely drinking Spirit Tea brewed by Mo Lingwei.
His brows furrowed, as his powerful Divine Thought suddenly detected a combat fluctuation ahead.
Upon closer look, he saw a group of ferocious Tribulation Cultivators robbing a passing caravan.
The caravan had six or seven Dharma Ships, all appearing quite luxurious, clearly of extraordinary origin, with a large ’Heaven’ character embroidered on the mast, along with exquisite spirit cloud patterns.
Four of these Spiritual Ship merchant vessels had already fallen into the hands of the Tribulation Cultivators, who were numerous, about a hundred in total, seemingly well prepared, laying an inescapable net in advance on the inevitable path of the caravan.
"Who are you? How dare you target the Celestial Palace Treasure Tower!" A white-robed elder, covered in blood, looked angry and surprised, asking coldly.
"Hahaha! You ran into the Blood Slaughter Three Fiends and still want to resist? I don’t care about your Celestial Palace Treasure Tower! Even troops from Celestial Star City would be killed without exception!" The leading Tribulation Cultivator, clad in black robes, all at late-stage Nascent Soul.
Qin Ming thought to himself: ’As expected of the Human Race Territory in the Spirit Realm, even Nascent Soul Stage are engaging in these robbery acts.’
Yet, as he was new here, he did not want to stir up trouble, intending to bypass the fight and leave.
With his mid-stage Divinity Transformation Cultivation Realm, those cultivators were like ants to him, unable to catch up to him.
Yet in the next moment.
That white-robed elder spotted the nearby Lingxiao Imperial Carriage, seemingly grabbing a life-saving straw, and shouted:
"Senior, please lend a hand!!"
"The Celestial Palace Treasure Tower will offer a hefty reward!"
Qin Ming, hearing this, was not very interested in getting involved in these matters.
However, three cold gleams had already shot towards him from different directions.
