nThe battle between Jiang Ming and Qi Ming still attracted the attention of many elders. Even Sect Master Yang Li and the three Grand Elders noticed.

nOf course, this was not because of Jiang Ming, but because of Qi Ming.

nQi Ming had obtained first place in the puppet screening. He had the attention of many big shots. Moreover, Qi Ming was also the main character of the conversation.

nNews of the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture had already spread.

nIt was still the same issue.

nIn the entire Heaven Enlightenment Sect, only three had mastered the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture. The founder, Daoist Heaven Enlightenment, Lu Fengjian, who had ascended 100,000 years ago, and the current Sect Master.

nEvery one of them was a famous figure.

nThey all wanted to see what kind of strength Qi Ming could possess after mastering the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture.

nEveryone was curious.

n

n

n“When Qi Ming passed through the spatial passageway, I specially used a divine power spell to observe his cultivation level. He indeed did not break through to the Nascent Soul realm and is only at the late-stage Core Formation realm.” Daoist Azure Dragon said.

n“Oh.”

nPatriarch Wuyan said, “You’re too bored. Why are you checking the cultivation levels of juniors for no reason? It’s not good to do so, you will make him detest the sect.”

n“However, Qi Ming cultivated two late-stage Nascent Soul realm spirit pets and an early-stage Nascent Soul realm spirit pet with his late-stage Core Formation realm cultivation. This talent is indeed extraordinary.”

n“Jiang Ming should have cultivated the Dao Nascent Soul.”

nDaoist Purple Firmament said, “In terms of cultivation realm, although he’s only at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm, his strength can’t be measured by cultivation realm.”

n“Then let’s see if Qi Ming really has the qualifications to sit in the first place.” Yang Li said.

nBuzz!

nDharmic powers surged around Jiang Ming as green and white light appeared. The Dao Nascent Soul in his dantian released an extremely powerful aura that pressed down on Qi Ming.

nQi Ming felt that the power of Jiang Ming’s Dao Nascent Soul blew over like a breeze.

nThere was no pressure.

n“There are no restrictions on fighting among legacy disciples.”

nJiang Ming said, “Take this.”

nCrack!

nJiang Ming attacked. Green and white light condensed and turned into bolts of lightning. They were like a net that quickly enveloped Qi Ming and blocked his dodging direction.

nRoar!

nThe Dawn Dark Bat Demon rushed out of thin air and roared. It released a sound wave spell that formed a fan shape and defeated Jiang Ming’s lightning net.

n“A late-stage Nascent Soul realm spirit pet.”

nJiang Ming took a deep breath and sized up the Dawn Dark Bat Demon a few times. His expression relaxed slightly, “Unfortunately, it’s only the False Nascent Soul.”

nAs soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ming waved his right hand and took out his intrinsic Dharma treasure. It was a spear wrapped in green and white lightning. The spear was slender and had dragon patterns engraved on it.

nIt was called the Coiling Dragon Spear.

n“With this False Nascent Soul realm spirit pet, it can’t win me at all.”

nJiang Ming appeared extremely confident.

n“Come back.” Qi Ming said.

nSwish!

nThe Dawn Dark Bat Demon quickly returned to Qi Ming’s side.

n“Don’t worry.” Qi Ming smiled and said, “I never planned to use my spirit pets to deal with you. No matter what, you’re the first legacy disciple I’ve encountered in this legacy competition and my first opponent.”

n“For this reason, I’m prepared to personally attack. It can be considered as respecting my first opponent.”

n“You!!!” An angry expression appeared on Jiang Ming’s face, “Qi Ming! You’re too arrogant… Good, good, good. Then let me see your true ability.”

n“Come and fight!”

nSwish!

nJiang Ming held the Coiling Dragon Spear and shot out like a spear light.

n“This Qi Ming actually said such arrogant words. He wants to personally attack? With his late-stage Core Formation realm cultivation, if he doesn’t rely on spirit pets, how can he fight Jiang Ming?”

n“Is he all talk and no action?”

n“Qi Ming shouldn’t be making such a mistake. He must have some method.”

n“…”

nEveryone discussed.

nClang!

nQi Ming raised his hand and pointed. A sword light overflowed from his fingertip, appearing pure green. This was the sign of condensing Dharmic powers to the limit.

nNot only that, it also contained an extremely powerful Sword Dao that carried the enhancement of the Heaven and Earth Dao runes.

nJiang Ming was stunned. His right hand held the tail of the Coiling Dragon Spear tightly, and the extremely sharp tip of the spear was very powerful under the strike just now. It was enough to shatter a mountain.

nHowever, it was blocked by Qi Ming’s finger.

nSeeing such a scene, under such circumstances, it was not only Jiang Ming who was stunned.

nAll the elders who were watching this battle were also stunned.

n“What method is this?”

n“Impressive!”

n“This Qi Ming…”

n“Gasp…”

n“He only used a finger to block Jiang Ming’s attack.”

n“This is unbelievable!”

nThe elders exclaimed.

n“Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture.”

nYang Li’s gaze was sharp. He looked at Qi Ming and carefully observed his finger, “He has already grasped the power of the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Dao.”

nDaoist Azure Dragon and the others were also shocked when they heard Yang Li.

n“Junior Brother…”

nLu Qingyan’s beautiful eyes lit up.

n“Hahaha…”

nFeng Zimu laughed loudly.

nHe was very excited!

nHe was very happy!

nIt felt good!

n“This is impossible!”

nJiang Ming roared. He mobilized all the strength in his body, and his Dharmic powers surged. The power of his Dao Nascent Soul was released, and a lightning Dharma Idol appeared behind him.

n“Ah!!!”

nBang bang bang!!!

nIn an instant, Jiang Ming attacked countless times. Illusions appeared, and the sky was filled with spear shadows surrounded by lightning.

nWhile it was magnificent, it was also filled with powerful might.

n“Jiang Ming!”

nThe legacy elders of the Immortal Progression Peak could not help but shout.

nFacing Jiang Ming’s fancy attacks, Qi Ming only stretched out his hand and grabbed forward. Unknowingly, an invisible force covered the surroundings and grabbed all the spear shadows.

nThe spear shadows and lightning dissipated.

nClang!

nFinally, Qi Ming flicked his finger and struck the Coiling Dragon Spear. It contained a huge force that directly acted on Jiang Ming’s body. He cried out in pain as the bones in his hand almost broke.

n“Ah!!!”

nThe next moment, Jiang Ming screamed. The Coiling Dragon Spear in his hand was flicked away by Qi Ming’s finger. It flew for a long time and fell to the ground.

n“Do you still want to fight?”

nQi Ming clasped his hands behind his back and looked at Jiang Ming indifferently.

n“I… I…”

nJiang Ming held his right hand with his left hand as intense pain came. He looked at Qi Ming with a bitter expression. He did not expect to be defeated so thoroughly and so easily.

nFrom the beginning to the end, Qi Ming did not even take out his Dharma treasure.

n“I lost…”

nJiang Ming lowered his head.

nQi Ming nodded.

nSwish!

nThen…

nRiding Clouds and Fog.

nQi Ming had already turned around and left without saying a word.

n“Qi…”

nJiang Ming raised his head and wanted to call out to Qi Ming, but he could not say anything. He could only look at Qi Ming’s back. After a long while, he returned to his senses, found his intrinsic Dharma treasure, and quickly left.

nAfter this battle, Jiang Ming deeply understood how terrifying Qi Ming’s strength was. It was completely impossible to estimate it with cultivation and realm. If he relied on his cultivation and realm to infer Qi Ming’s strength, then the outcome would only be defeat.

n“Too powerful.”

nJiang Ming pondered, “He’s too strong. In my opinion, Qi Ming’s strength is like an abyss. It’s unfathomable. Perhaps only those veteran legacy disciples who have cultivated to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm can fight Qi Ming. Moreover, it’s still unknown if they can defeat him!”

n“This is a battle on a completely different level.”

nDaoist Azure Dragon came to a conclusion, “This Qi Ming should only be at the late-stage Core Formation realm, but his strength is really too unbelievable. Jiang Ming is completely suppressed in his hands and can’t see any hope of winning. There’s an absolute difference in strength between the two sides.”

n“That might not be the case.”

nPatriarch Wuyan said, “Perhaps Qi Ming cultivated a special technique and hid his cultivation level. That’s why you can see that he’s only in the late-stage Core Formation realm.”

n“No, no.” Daoist Purple Firmament shook his head, “If Qi Ming hid his cultivation, it means that he has already reached the Nascent Soul realm. To reach the Nascent Soul realm in such a short period of time, this cultivation talent is even more exaggerated.”

n“If Qi Ming is really only at the late-stage Core Formation realm, then he defeated the early-stage Nascent Soul realm Jiang Ming with his late-stage Core Formation realm cultivation. Moreover, he crushed him. This is also an extremely talented performance.”

n“No matter what the situation is, Qi Ming’s performance is extremely outstanding.”

n“Indeed.”

nDaoist Azure Dragon and Patriarch Wuyan nodded.

nClearly, they had gradually acknowledged Qi Ming.

nIn the twelve floating palaces, the elders were also in an uproar.

n“He won. Junior Brother won.”

nLü Qingyan said happily and excitedly, “Junior Brother is so powerful. He actually defeated the legacy disciple of the Immortal Progression Peak, Jiang Ming, so easily.”

nFeng Zimu nodded with a smile, “Moreover, this time, Qi Ming did not use his spirit pets. Instead, he used his own strength to crush Jiang Ming.”

n“So we still underestimated Junior Brother Qi!” Fan Zhong sighed.

n“Damn it.”

n“This battle of Jiang Ming’s has really disgraced us.”

n“There’s no choice. We didn’t expect this Qi Ming to have such ability.”

n“That’s right!”

nThe elders of the Immortal Progression Peak looked a little down.

nNo matter what, after Qi Ming’s battle with Jiang Ming, the elders of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect had a relatively clear understanding of Qi Ming’s strength.

nA few hours later.

nQi Ming had already arrived at the gap of the ancient grotto-heaven.

nAs he flew, on both sides of the river bank, Qi Ming saw many villages and towns that had already become ruins. The people who used to live here had basically all moved away.

nThis was because the Chang River had dried up and lost its water source. The residents who originally lived here could only move. Otherwise, they would only die.

nAdditionally, it was unknown if he was affected by the ancient grotto-heaven.

n

n

nOn both sides of the Chang River, ghosts often appeared.

nNo residents or citizens dared to live here.

n“This is the gap, right?”

nQi Ming stood on the white cloud and looked down from the sky. Below him was the Chang River’s riverbed. The riverbed was dried and cracked. There was a huge hundred-meter-long crack here.

nThis crack was very deep.

nLooking carefully, in the depths of the gap, there was a faint different luster.

nThe gap of the ancient grotto-heaven was at the bottom of this crack.

nApart from Qi Ming, there was also a legacy disciple of the Dao Seeking Sect who arrived here earlier than Qi Ming.

nOf course, he was only a few steps ahead.

nBefore the other party could go down, Qi Ming came..
