Chapter 741 - 582: Return to the Southern Wilderness

Above the Soul-Eroding Bone Swamp, peace was restored.The earlier battle that could destroy the heavens and earth not only alarmed the nearby Demon Race.

The incredible spectacle that surpassed a Divinity Transformation battle drained the Spiritual Qi from the heavens and earth, tore the space with cracks, and the aftermath spread far, sensed even by many of the Human Race.

With the fall of the Tier Five Great Demon who had ruled the Outer Sea for thousands of years, the demon cultivators below were terrified, fleeing like monkeys scattering when a tree falls.

"Run quickly! The Cangming Demon Venerable has been killed!"

"So terrifying!"

"Could it be an action by a Human Race late-stage Divinity Transformation Venerable?"

In no time, the news of the Tier Five Cangming Demon Venerable’s fall spread like wildfire, echoing across the entire Outer Sea as a thunderclap.

The fall of this Tier Five Great Demon would mean a major shift in the Outer Sea’s balance.

And Qin Ming, having reaped great rewards from this journey, had no interest in dealing with the small fry below. With a wave of his sleeve, he turned into a cyan Escape Light and left this sea area.

...

Celestial Edge Sea Pavilion.

Xiao Xun and Nanming Ancestor looked at each other, utterly shocked.

"What?!"

"Fellow Daoist Qin has slain that Cangming Demon Venerable?"

Upon receiving this information, Nanming Ancestor’s mind roiled with monumental waves.

Qin Ming first annihilated the Divinity Transformation Demon Venerable in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, and now he has personally slain a Tier Five Demon Venerable.

How terrifying must his power be?

Most crucially, Qin Ming is currently only at Nascent Soul Great Perfection. What would happen if he truly achieved Divinity Transformation?

Similarly, Xiao Xun, although aware of Qin Ming’s Divine Techniques and power, was also deeply moved at this moment.

After all, the Tier Five Cangming Demon Venerable in the Outer Sea was exceptionally powerful, not something ordinary Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators could compare to.

The fall of any Divinity Transformation Stage figure is enough to change the balance of a Cultivation Realm.

The Outer Sea is no exception.

Qin Ming’s slaying of this fiend has completely quelled the Beast Tide situation in the Outer Sea.

For the next thousand years, if no new Tier Five Demon Venerable is born, Human Race cultivators here can experience a long period of stable development.

Several days later.

A grand celebration was held on the islands of the End of the World to celebrate the Human Race’s victory in resisting the Outer Sea Demon Race and emerging from the shadow of Cangming Demon Venerable’s rule.

Qin Ming also returned to the Celestial Edge Sea Pavilion.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, your Divine Techniques are truly sharp. Perhaps in the Human Realm, there’s hardly a match for you, right?" Nanming Ancestor praised, filled with emotion.

When he saw Qin Ming, having slain the Demon Venerable and yet looking as though nothing had happened, without a single scratch, it was somewhat incredible and deeply unsettling.

"It’s good that you’re fine. Here." Xiao Xun, seeing Qin Ming unharmed, immediately returned the Tai Hao Nine Luminaries Immortal Extinction Array to him.

"Thanks to your Tier Five Array, otherwise it would have been truly difficult for the two of us to hold on."

Qin Ming stored away the Wooden Box of the Array, then smiled slightly, saying nothing more, as excessive humility is also a form of pride.

After the three of them discussed and analyzed the Outer Sea situation for a while.

Nanming Ancestor, being aware of himself, decided to leave and give the two some space alone, "Dear friends, I’ll head out for a walk outside, you two continue your conversation."

Then.

The Cave Mansion was left with only Qin Ming and Xiao Xun.

...

...

Several days later.

In the Little Spirit Realm.

Qin Ming put away the corpse of the Tier Five Cangming Demon Venerable, obtaining a large barrel of Tier Five Demon Beast Essence Blood, a Tier Five early-stage Demon Pill of Water Attribute, and extremely tough materials.

The ’Soul-Eroding Eye’ of the Cangming Demon Venerable was also a top-notch refining material, his entire body was like a treasure trove.

However, for him, the greatest gain of this journey was the True Spirit Egg.

Secondly, his Lifebound Spirit Plant devoured the Ten-Thousand-Year Wood Demon and is about to advance once again.

The Lifebound Spirit Plant is closely related to his cultivation and is of critical importance.

Then.

Qin Ming used the Four Seasons Divine Light technique of the Cyan Emperor’s Dharma Eye to heal the True Spirit Egg, and surprisingly found a faint vitality inside the once-dying gray egg.

Although it didn’t come back to life immediately.

It indicated that there is still a chance for rescue, but it requires careful nurturing.

That’s a genuine True Spirit! Just thinking about it excited Qin Ming.

So, he summoned the Heaven-Devouring Rat and Profound Water Crocodile.

"From today onwards, I entrust you two with an extremely important task, which is to hatch the egg for me without any mistakes, understood?"

"This is the legendary True Spirit Egg."

As soon as Qin Ming finished speaking, the Heaven-Devouring Rat showed a smile more miserable than crying, "Master...this...we don’t know how to hatch eggs!"

It originally thought it could eat the True Spirit Egg to reach the pinnacle of rat life, but it seemed impossible now.

"Have you seen a hen incubate an egg? Just incubate it like that." Qin Ming thought for a moment and then instructed.

"Well...alright then..." The Heaven-Devouring Rat looked utterly dejected, hangdog as it went to sit on the three-inch large gray egg like an old hen...

...

Time passed, and six months went by.

During this period, Qin Ming spent some quiet time in the library at the End of the World.

The main aim is to see if there’s a way to cultivate the True Spirit Egg, after all, letting the Heaven-Devouring Rat and their group hatch the egg doesn’t seem very effective.

Xiao Xun has the heritage of the Spirit Realm Star Palace, perhaps there are some special methods within.

But after half a year, there was still nothing to be found.

Qingyang the Old Demon could only identify the True Spirit Egg, not knowing how to hatch it.

Qin Ming had no choice but to give up, planning to research it later on.

On this day.

He was holding an ancient book studying it, when Xiao Xun came in holding a jade scroll and then said to him:

"A message from the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm has arrived, take a look."

Qin Ming felt slightly surprised, then took the jade scroll and browsed through it.

A moment later.

He found out it was actually sent by Hua Tianxiong, mainly reporting some of the events that had occurred in the Five Great Cultivation Realms over the past six months.

During Qin Ming’s absence, the Ancient Demon from Primordial Extreme Mountain had slaughtered the world of cultivation for blood food.

Several Venerable Divinity Transformations in the Human Realm wanted to join forces to kill this demon.

However, the Rock Demon had an ancient talisman leading into the interior of Primordial Extreme Mountain, making it difficult for them to deal with him for the time being.

Now Wei Wuya and Mo Lingwei are in closed-door cultivation, aiming for the Nascent Soul Stage, and Hua Tianxiong, as a Golden Core Junior Cultivator, couldn’t make a decision.

Therefore, he sent a message from afar.

Qin Ming still quite appreciated Hua Tianxiong’s decision.

Over the past six months, Nanming Ancestor also recovered to Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivation, plus he gained some benefits during the war between the Human and Demon Races.

It’s estimated that returning to the Divinity Transformation Stage will take much less time than originally.

Therefore, during this period, he was also restless, eager to return.

But considering Qin Ming’s presence, it’s inappropriate to leave early, so he waited in the Outer Sea until now.

Qin Ming’s original plan was to refine Divinity Transformation Ointment at Celestial Edge Sea Pavilion and then take advantage of the Tier Five Spirit Vein here to advance to Divinity Transformation Stage.

It seems it’s not going to happen now.

He pondered for a moment, then said to Xiao Xun: "I plan to return to the Southern Wilderness, what are your plans?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun replied: "Now the Outer Sea is also in disarray, I plan to stabilize the situation here first before going to the Southern Wilderness to find you."

"Hmm, that’s good." Qin Ming nodded.

After discussing with the two of them, Qin Ming and Nanming Ancestor embarked on their journey home.

Along the way, Nanming Ancestor sighed: "Alas! I never thought this old man could return home honorably one day, I wonder if my disciples have forgotten about me."

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Nanming’s Lifebound Primordial Spirit Lamp has never extinguished, so the disciples of Lihuo Palace naturally know you are still alive in this world." Qin Ming smiled and explained.

Half a month later.

The two of them used a special route provided by Xiao Xun, taking a roundabout way, and returned to the East Sea Cultivation Realm.

Coincidentally, when they passed through Celestial Wave Immortal City, they ran into Supreme Yang and others.

They seemed to have just finished hosting a conference for several major sects of the East Sea and were leaving the Immortal City.

"Fellow Daoist Qin! Long time no see, I heard you went traveling?" Currently, Supreme Yang treats Qin Ming as a senior.

After all, the other party has eliminated a Divinity Transformation Demon Venerable, a strength that is unmatched by these Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

He even speculated that Qin Ming was not far from truly becoming a Divinity Transformation.

"Fellow Daoist Supreme Yang, I went to the Outer Sea to handle some matters, just happened to return." Qin Ming greeted back.

Then, Supreme Yang looked at the unfamiliar gray-robed elder beside Qin Ming, but found he couldn’t discern his cultivation, feeling a sense of dread.

So, he askingly opened his mouth: "And this is..."

Qin Ming introduced: "This is the founding ancestor of Lihuo Palace—Nanming Ancestor, he had been traveling in the Outer Sea, and now returned with me."

"What? Then, should I address him as Elder Nanming?" Supreme Yang was taken aback.

It was rumored the Lifebound Primordial Spirit Lamp deep within Lihuo Palace had never extinguished, stirring much speculation in the cultivation community.

Although he had already anticipated it, seeing Nanming Ancestor in person was still shocking.

Indeed, after so many years without perishing, there’s only one possibility, that he had already attained the Divinity Transformation Stage.

"Junior Supreme Yang from the Star Palace, pays respects to Elder Nanming!" Supreme Yang hastily bowed respectfully.

Even in a Divinity Transformation Sect, it’s extremely rare to meet a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator.

He once served as Grand Alliance Leader of the Human Realm’s allied forces, and even before Venerable Divinity Transformations, he dared not be discourteous.

"Mm, no need for formalities." Nanming Ancestor replied casually.

Supreme Yang’s heart was in turmoil; he never expected Qin Ming to associate with a Divinity Transformation Venerable from Lihuo Palace, and the two seemed quite close.

This stirred even more waves in his heart.

With the return of Nanming Ancestor, a Divinity Transformation Venerable, it’s certain to break the cultivation realm structure of the Three Kingdoms of Central Continent.

Lihuo Palace is bound to rise again, that much is certain.

Since Master Lihuo’s fall, the sect had been in decline, but with Nanming Ancestor’s return, the situation will be different.

It will leap to become a top sect in the Human Realm, akin to their Star Palace.

Afterwards.

Having run into an old acquaintance, Qin Ming took the opportunity to exchange information with Supreme Yang about the recent situation in the cultivation world.

The information was basically similar to what Hua Tianxiong had reported.

However, Supreme Yang had a piece of news that surprised both Qin Ming and Nanming Ancestor.

"During this time, something relatively important happened."

"That is, a few months ago, Fellow Daoist Cangwu of Penglai Sect went into seclusion to strive for the Divinity Transformation Realm."
