The 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.
Of course, this was not because of Jiang Ming, but because of Qi Ming.
Qi 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.
News of the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture had already spread.
It was still the same issue.
In 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.
Every one of them was a famous figure.
They all wanted to see what kind of strength Qi Ming could possess after mastering the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture.
Everyone was curious.
âWhen 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.â Daoist Azure Dragon said.
âOh.â
Patriarch Wuyan said, âYouâre too bored. Why are you checking the cultivation levels of juniors for no reason? Itâs not good to do so, you will make him detest the sect.â
âHowever, 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.â
âJiang Ming should have cultivated the Dao Nascent Soul.â
Daoist Purple Firmament said, âIn terms of cultivation realm, although heâs only at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm, his strength canât be measured by cultivation realm.â
âThen letâs see if Qi Ming really has the qualifications to sit in the first place.â Yang Li said.
Buzz!
Dharmic 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.
Qi Ming felt that the power of Jiang Mingâs Dao Nascent Soul blew over like a breeze.
There was no pressure.
âThere are no restrictions on fighting among legacy disciples.â
Jiang Ming said, âTake this.â
Crack!
Jiang 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.
Roar!
The 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 Mingâs lightning net.
âA late-stage Nascent Soul realm spirit pet.â
Jiang Ming took a deep breath and sized up the Dawn Dark Bat Demon a few times. His expression relaxed slightly, âUnfortunately, itâs only the False Nascent Soul.â
As 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.
It was called the Coiling Dragon Spear.
âWith this False Nascent Soul realm spirit pet, it canât win me at all.â
Jiang Ming appeared extremely confident.
âCome back.â Qi Ming said.
Swish!
The Dawn Dark Bat Demon quickly returned to Qi Mingâs side.
âDonât worry.â Qi Ming smiled and said, âI never planned to use my spirit pets to deal with you. No matter what, youâre the first legacy disciple Iâve encountered in this legacy competition and my first opponent.â
âFor this reason, Iâm prepared to personally attack. It can be considered as respecting my first opponent.â
âYou!!!â An angry expression appeared on Jiang Mingâs face, âQi Ming! Youâre too arrogant⦠Good, good, good. Then let me see your true ability.â
âCome and fight!â
Swish!
Jiang Ming held the Coiling Dragon Spear and shot out like a spear light.
âThis Qi Ming actually said such arrogant words. He wants to personally attack? With his late-stage Core Formation realm cultivation, if he doesnât rely on spirit pets, how can he fight Jiang Ming?â
âIs he all talk and no action?â
âQi Ming shouldnât be making such a mistake. He must have some method.â
ââ¦â
Everyone discussed.
Clang!
Qi 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.
Not only that, it also contained an extremely powerful Sword Dao that carried the enhancement of the Heaven and Earth Dao runes.
Jiang 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.
However, it was blocked by Qi Mingâs finger.
Seeing such a scene, under such circumstances, it was not only Jiang Ming who was stunned.
All the elders who were watching this battle were also stunned.
âWhat method is this?â
âImpressive!â
âThis Qi Mingâ¦â
âGaspâ¦â
âHe only used a finger to block Jiang Mingâs attack.â
âThis is unbelievable!â
The elders exclaimed.
âChaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture.â
Yang Liâs gaze was sharp. He looked at Qi Ming and carefully observed his finger, âHe has already grasped the power of the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Dao.â
Daoist Azure Dragon and the others were also shocked when they heard Yang Li.
âJunior Brotherâ¦â
Lu Qingyanâs beautiful eyes lit up.
âHahahaâ¦â
Feng Zimu laughed loudly.
He was very excited!
He was very happy!
It felt good!
âThis is impossible!â
Jiang 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.
âAh!!!â
Bang bang bang!!!
In an instant, Jiang Ming attacked countless times. Illusions appeared, and the sky was filled with spear shadows surrounded by lightning.
While it was magnificent, it was also filled with powerful might.
âJiang Ming!â
The legacy elders of the Immortal Progression Peak could not help but shout.
Facing Jiang Mingâs 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.
The spear shadows and lightning dissipated.
Clang!
Finally, Qi Ming flicked his finger and struck the Coiling Dragon Spear. It contained a huge force that directly acted on Jiang Mingâs body. He cried out in pain as the bones in his hand almost broke.
âAh!!!â
The next moment, Jiang Ming screamed. The Coiling Dragon Spear in his hand was flicked away by Qi Mingâs finger. It flew for a long time and fell to the ground.
âDo you still want to fight?â
Qi Ming clasped his hands behind his back and looked at Jiang Ming indifferently.
âI⦠Iâ¦â
Jiang 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.
From the beginning to the end, Qi Ming did not even take out his Dharma treasure.
âI lostâ¦â
Jiang Ming lowered his head.
Qi Ming nodded.
Swish!
Thenâ¦
Riding Clouds and Fog.
Qi Ming had already turned around and left without saying a word.
âQiâ¦â
Jiang Ming raised his head and wanted to call out to Qi Ming, but he could not say anything. He could only look at Qi Mingâs back. After a long while, he returned to his senses, found his intrinsic Dharma treasure, and quickly left.
After this battle, Jiang Ming deeply understood how terrifying Qi Mingâs strength was. It was completely impossible to estimate it with cultivation and realm. If he relied on his cultivation and realm to infer Qi Mingâs strength, then the outcome would only be defeat.
âToo powerful.â
Jiang Ming pondered, âHeâs too strong. In my opinion, Qi Mingâs strength is like an abyss. Itâs unfathomable. Perhaps only those veteran legacy disciples who have cultivated to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm can fight Qi Ming. Moreover, itâs still unknown if they can defeat him!â
âThis is a battle on a completely different level.â
Daoist Azure Dragon came to a conclusion, âThis 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 canât see any hope of winning. Thereâs an absolute difference in strength between the two sides.â
âThat might not be the case.â
Patriarch Wuyan said, âPerhaps Qi Ming cultivated a special technique and hid his cultivation level. Thatâs why you can see that heâs only in the late-stage Core Formation realm.â
âNo, no.â Daoist Purple Firmament shook his head, âIf 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.â
âIf 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.â
âNo matter what the situation is, Qi Mingâs performance is extremely outstanding.â
âIndeed.â
Daoist Azure Dragon and Patriarch Wuyan nodded.
Clearly, they had gradually acknowledged Qi Ming.
In the twelve floating palaces, the elders were also in an uproar.
âHe won. Junior Brother won.â
Lü Qingyan said happily and excitedly, âJunior Brother is so powerful. He actually defeated the legacy disciple of the Immortal Progression Peak, Jiang Ming, so easily.â
Feng Zimu nodded with a smile, âMoreover, this time, Qi Ming did not use his spirit pets. Instead, he used his own strength to crush Jiang Ming.â
âSo we still underestimated Junior Brother Qi!â Fan Zhong sighed.
âDamn it.â
âThis battle of Jiang Mingâs has really disgraced us.â
âThereâs no choice. We didnât expect this Qi Ming to have such ability.â
âThatâs right!â
The elders of the Immortal Progression Peak looked a little down.
No matter what, after Qi Mingâs battle with Jiang Ming, the elders of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect had a relatively clear understanding of Qi Mingâs strength.
A few hours later.
Qi Ming had already arrived at the gap of the ancient grotto-heaven.
As 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.
This 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.
Additionally, it was unknown if he was affected by the ancient grotto-heaven.
On both sides of the Chang River, ghosts often appeared.
No residents or citizens dared to live here.
âThis is the gap, right?â
Qi Ming stood on the white cloud and looked down from the sky. Below him was the Chang Riverâs riverbed. The riverbed was dried and cracked. There was a huge hundred-meter-long crack here.
This crack was very deep.
Looking carefully, in the depths of the gap, there was a faint different luster.
The gap of the ancient grotto-heaven was at the bottom of this crack.
Apart from Qi Ming, there was also a legacy disciple of the Dao Seeking Sect who arrived here earlier than Qi Ming.
Of course, he was only a few steps ahead.
Before the other party could go down, Qi Ming came.
