Extremely strange fluctuations came from the three forbidden areas. There was an extreme rotting aura, and faint fog spread out from the forbidden area.

Wherever this fog passed, everything withered. Life force and energy were all devoured. The space seemed to have rusted, and dark brown spots appeared. The surroundings became a ruined land, but the fog that spread out was blocked by an invisible force, stopping ten meters away from the forbidden land.

“This phenomenon is like ascending to immortality. The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth follows it. Could this Qi Ming… be the child of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth? Otherwise, why would this scene appear?”

“Chaos is about to rise, and there will definitely be monstrous geniuses…”

“Hahaha… As expected of my personal disciple…”

In the three forbidden areas, the voices of the three ancestors of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect sounded one after another.

The three ancestors who had sealed themselves in the three forbidden areas were indeed alarmed by the phenomenon created by Qi Ming, and they temporarily recovered.

Soon, they fell asleep again and did not wake up for long.

Gradually…

The fluctuation in the three forbidden areas slowly calmed down.

In the Heaven Secrets Manor.

Qi Ming’s breakthrough had already reached the last moment. He had comprehended the Three Pure Dao Scripture and the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. Then, he used the Dao Scripture and mystic technique to condense the Heaven and Earth Great Dao Essence Soul.

Then, the Heaven and Earth Great Dao Essence Soul had already fused with the Three Pure Nascent Soul.

Qi Ming’s consciousness and True Spirit could also be placed in the Nascent Soul. Moreover, they could leave his physical body and travel in the natural world. Moreover, he could control the power of the heaven and earth.

In his body, Dharmic powers surged.

It was endless.

Boom!

Qi Ming’s entire body shook. His cultivation level had already successfully broken through to the Leaving Aperture realm. He was consolidating his Dharmic powers and realm, and the aura emitted had reached an even higher level.

Outside the Heaven Secrets Manor, the phenomenon caused by Qi Ming’s cultivation breakthrough also reached its peak.

Everyone in the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain looked up.

Exclamations sounded.

Their gazes and gazes could not help but look at the Heaven Secrets Manor.

“Heaven Secrets Manor, it’s Heaven Secrets Manor again…”

“The source of the phenomenon is the Heaven Secrets Manor. In other words, this phenomenon was caused by Qi Ming.”

“This… this…”

“The phenomenon of the heavens and the earth this time is at least ten times greater than before. Such a world shaking phenomenon covered an area of 300 miles. The Dao sound of the heavens and the earth resounded in all directions. It’s extremely vast and truly shocking.”

“So Qi Ming’s cultivation level has broken through to the Leaving Aperture realm? Is this a phenomenon caused by Qi Ming breaking through to the Leaving Aperture realm? People who don’t know might really think that someone has become immortal and is about to ascend to the Upper World.”

“This is too shocking.”

“Qi Ming has already caused such a huge commotion from the Nascent Soul realm to the Leaving Aperture realm. I really can’t imagine what will happen when Qi Ming breaks through to the Soul Formation realm or the Dao Integration realm.”

In the surroundings, the Grand Elders of the twelve lineages of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain and the legacy disciples of the twelve lineages could not help but let out shocked voices.

Not long after, the phenomenon calmed down.

It gradually dissipated.

In the evening, many legacy disciples of the twelve lineages of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain and the Grand Elders of the twelve lineages came to the Heaven Secrets Manor to visit Qi Ming one after another.

This time, they were really visiting, not like before. On the surface, it was a visit, but in fact, they wanted to find Qi Ming to spar.

Under such circumstances, Qi Ming opened the door and welcomed the legacy disciples of the twelve lineages of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain. He also welcomed the Grand Elders very warmly.

Then, the Eight Sect Masters took this opportunity to appear in the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain. Eight late-stage Dao Integration experts attracted the attention of the twelve factions of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain. The Grand Elders were also quite shocked.

“The Heaven Secrets lineage actually has eight late-stage Dao Integration experts.”

“Why didn’t I know this in the past?”

“This…”

“Could it be that the Heaven Secrets lineage is really going to rise again in Qi Ming’s hands?”

“This is a good thing.”

“The Heaven Secrets lineage has declined for a long time and has never been able to truly prosper. Moreover, the decline of the Heaven Secrets lineage has also caused the strength of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect to decrease greatly. If the Heaven Secrets lineage can rise again, it’s a very good thing for the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

“At that time, the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s strength will be even stronger.”

The Grand Elders conversed secretly.

In the blink of an eye, late at night, the Grand Elders had already left.

As Qi Ming broke through, the AFK Farming Software also experienced a corresponding series of changes.

A notification appeared.

Ding!

“Detected that the host’s cultivation level has increased to the early-stage Leaving Aperture realm. The number of spirit stones needed for AFK Farming cultivation has increased by ten times. Every increase will cost 100 low-grade spirit stones.”

“The consumption has increased by ten times again.”

Qi Ming pondered for a moment and said, “Of course, even if it increases by ten times, I don’t have to care because the number of spirit stones I obtain every day is completely sufficient.”

Unfortunately, Qi Ming’s aptitude did not change after this breakthrough. Only when the Three Pure Dao Scripture broke through to the Nascent Soul realm could Qi Ming’s aptitude increase and transform his body and soul.

Ding!

“Because the host’s cultivation level has increased to the Leaving Aperture realm, the highest amplification state of AFK Farming cultivation has increased from a million times to ten million times.”

Another notification appeared.

“Okay.”

The corners of Qi Ming’s mouth curled up, “It has indeed increased by ten times.”

“I’ll charge 100,000 high-grade spirit stones and practice the Three Pure Dao Scripture.” Qi Ming said.

Ding!

“Charging successful.”

“Cultivating the Three Pure Dao Scripture under the enhancement of 10 million times…”

A notification appeared.

Qi Ming nodded.

Then, he consumed a large number of spirit stones one after another and began to cultivate the Book of Changes Scripture, the Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques, the Divine Sword Lightning Manipulation Technique, the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power, the Five Elements Cycle Divine Power, and the Mystic Gate Divination Divine Power.

Ding!

“Detected that the host’s cultivation level has already broken through to the early-stage Leaving Aperture realm. The reward for clearing the late-stage Nascent Soul realm game dungeon, the Shu Mountain Sword Immortal Palace, will be greatly reduced. You can use 100,000 top-grade spirit stones to open the new game dungeon.”

“Okay.”

Qi Ming said, “Then immediately charge 100,000 top-grade spirit stones and activate the new game dungeon.”

Ding!

“Charging successful.”

“You can enter the early-stage Leaving Aperture realm game dungeon: The First 33 Levels of the Tower of Death.”

A notification appeared.

“Enter.” Qi Ming said.

In front of Qi Ming, the game dungeon scene and scene of the ‘Tower of Death’ appeared. It was as if it was real, as if he was in it, extremely real.

In the scene, darkness enveloped the ground.

Loneliness, darkness, withering, decay…

In the sky, there was an incomplete blood moon.

Below the Blood Moon, there was an incomparably huge pitch-black tower, but under the envelopment of the Blood Moon, it was dyed with a deep blood color, as if it was covered in a thin layer of blood.

On a closer look, this Tower of Death was 99 levels tall.

Now, the game character that Qi Ming had transformed into arrived. It was a young adventurer holding a sword who walked to the front of this Tower of Death.

At the entrance of the pagoda, darkness surged and blood light flashed.

Then, a black shadow appeared.

This black shadow was the image of the legendary Death God. He was completely dressed in a tattered black cloak. Under the cloak was a black shadow with a skeleton. It was emitting thick black qi and carried a pitch-black Death Scythe.

“Adventurer.”

The God of Death stared at Qi Ming, “Do you want to enter the Tower of Death?”

“Yes.” Qi Ming replied.

“Okay.” The God of Death said, “I wish you death.”

“No need.” Qi Ming replied.

Rumble!!!

The door opened.

It was pitch-black inside. If one walked in, they would be devoured by the darkness.

Qi Ming walked into the Tower of Death.

On the first level, what appeared in front of Qi Ming was a white-haired swordsman. He held a broad black sword and stood motionlessly in the center.

The white-haired swordsman was filled with the aura of death.

“You’re here.”

The white-haired swordsman opened his eyes, “But you shouldn’t have come here. This is the home of death. Your arrival will definitely wake up all the spirits sleeping in the Tower of Death.”

“You talk too much. Attack.”

Qi Ming held the sword in his right hand and pointed it at the white-haired swordsman.

“As you wish.”

The white-haired swordsman’s gaze was calm as he stared at Qi Ming, “My name is Bai Liuyi. I’m the first opponent you encountered on the first level of the Tower of Death.”

“Alright, I’ll remember.” Qi Ming replied.

Clang!

The next moment, Qi Ming drew his sword. He slashed out with his sword. The sword light was dazzling like a thunderclap. It was like a horizon line that appeared like the trajectory of the Sword Dao as it slashed at Bai Liuyi.

Pew!!!

The sharp sword light slashed through Bai Liuyi’s body, and he froze on the spot. He did not even swing the heavy sword in his hand before he could no longer move.

Crack! Crack!

Immediately after, Bai Liuyi’s body split open from the center, and dense death black qi surged out of the wound. He was stunned as he looked at Qi Ming, still shocked by the strike just now.

“I, Bai Liuyi, have comprehended the sword for three thousand years. Now, I’ve truly witnessed what the true Sword Dao is. I have no regrets in this life, I have no regrets in this life…”

Bai Liuyi sighed in shock, his body turning to ashes.

One strike.

It was a sword.

Qi Ming killed his opponent.

The first level of the Tower of Death was easily passed.

Next, Qi Ming headed to the second level of the Death Tower.

In the game dungeon, the first 33 levels of the Tower of Death, Qi Ming needed to go up level by level to defeat powerful opponents and heroic spirits. Only after passing the first 33 levels could he be considered to have cleared the first 33 levels of the Tower of Death.

Qi Ming followed the staircase and arrived at the second level of the Tower of Death. His opponent this time was a sexy and hot martial artist. She cultivated the martial path and had a tenacious will.

“Battle Sacred Body.”

Boom!

Qi Ming roared and golden light flashed. The game character that he had transformed into used the power that Qi Ming had and attacked this opponent…
