âYes, Master.â
Qi Ming was neither anxious nor flustered. He was calm, but on the surface, he still expressed nervousness and anticipation with Ren Baoqiâs personality.
Ren Baoqi had entered the Immortal King grotto-heaven twice previously. The gains from the first two times did not seem to be great, so he was naturally filled with nervousness and anticipation for the third time.
Qi Ming left Ren Baoqiâs cave abode. His figure tore through the air like a green stream of light as he headed for the top of the Exquisite Immortal Mountain and arrived in front of the Exquisite Immortal Pavilion.
âJunior Brother Ren, youâre here.â
âSenior Brother Ren.â
In front of the Exquisite Immortal Pavilion.
Apart from Qi Ming, there were also 18 legacy disciples of Immortal King Linglong. Eight of them had entered the sect a little earlier than Ren Baoqi, and their cultivation levels were all at the peak of the Soul Formation realm. Therefore, they could be considered his senior brothers and senior sisters.
Apart from that, the remaining ten were all a little later than Ren Baoqi. Their strength and cultivation levels were inferior to him, so they were his junior brothers and sisters. It was even the first time some of them had entered the Immortal King grotto-heaven.
In less than half a minute, three more figures arrived.
Two men and a woman.
These three could be considered the Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, and Third Senior Sister of the legacy lineage of the Exquisite Immortal Mountain. This time, like Ren Baoqi, they had entered the Immortal King grotto-heaven for the third time.
Most importantly⦠When the three of them entered the Immortal King grotto-heaven the first two times, their gains were extremely great. They obtained many benefits and cultivated several powerful divine powers. Among the legacy disciples of the Exquisite Immortal Mountain, they were the first batch and had the highest chance of becoming the personal disciple of Immortal King Exquisite.
First Senior Brother Xia Quan, Second Senior Brother Zhao Changli, and Third Senior Sister Ye Hanfeng. âEveryone is here.â
Immortal King Linglong seemed to have appeared out of thin air and appeared in front of Qi Ming and the others. He was dressed in a green robe, had white hair and a youthful face, and had a sage-like appearance.
âGreetings, Master.â Then, Qi Ming and the others bowed at the same time.
âYou should know a lot about the Immortal King grotto-heaven. I donât have to say anything else.â
Immortal King Linglong said, âIn the Immortal King grotto-heaven, there are all kinds of Tribulation Qi surrounding it. If youâre not careful, youâll be bound by the Tribulation Qi and turn to ashes. However, there are also various opportunities inside. You have to find them yourselves.â
âLetâs go.â
As soon as Immortal King Linglong finished speaking, he waved his right hand, and an Immortal Tower Ship Pavilion appeared in midair. It floated in the air and was filled with clouds and mist, like an Immortal Boat.
âCome up.â Immortal King Linglong stepped into the Immortal Boat first and instructed.
âYes, Master.â
Qi Ming and the others also followed up in succession and stepped onto the deck of this Immortal Boat. This Immortal Boat was called the Exquisite Immortal Boat, and it was refined by Immortal King Linglong.
The Exquisite Immortal Boat was a powerful Dharma treasure.
Immortal King Linglong waved his right hand, and Dharmic powers surged out and poured into the Exquisite Immortal Boat. The ship was like a stream of light that instantly disappeared from the spot. It was as if it had drawn a long thin line, causing space and light to distort.
On the other 107 immortal mountains, Immortal Kings appeared.
They all summoned their Immortal King Immortal Boats and brought their legacy disciples to the Central Divine Mountain.
The Central Divine Mountain was at the center of the Central World.
At the same time, it was also in the core region of the Immortal Raceâs holy land, the Myriad Immortal Mountain.
Qi Ming rode the Exquisite Immortal Boat and crossed the distance of space. Wherever he passed, he could still see the immortal mountains of the other Immortal Kings. On the way, he even encountered the Immortal Boats of the other Immortal Kings.
âJunior Brother Ren.â
At this moment, a familiar figure walked over from Qi Mingâs side. He was Second Senior Brother, Zhao Changli, a young man with an aquiline nose.
âSenior Brother Zhao.â
Through deducing Ren Baoqiâs past and history, Qi Ming already knew that the relationship between Zhao Changli and Ren Baoqi was not good.
Because of an accident, Zhao Changli learned Ren Baoqiâs secret.
In other words, Zhao Changli discovered Ren Baoqiâs secret room and knew that he kept beauties of the various races. Actually, this was not a big deal. However, the problem was that the beauties of the various races were a little similar to his mother, Yue Yiling.
This secret was neither big nor small. Zhao Changli used this to threaten Ren Baoqi and took away his opportunities many times.
Because of this, Zhao Changli had taken away Ren Baoqiâs opportunity and became his Second Senior Brother and had the qualifications to become Immortal King Linglongâs personal disciple. However, Ren Baoqi had been left behind time and time again.
âIâve been busy cultivating the spatial divine power you gave me last time, so I havenât come out of seclusion. I heard about you a few days ago.â
Zhao Changli smiled faintly, âYou actually didnât complete the mission given to you by Master. The four people who went with you are all dead, and only you survived.â âJunior Brother Ren, youâre really lucky.â
âI was just fortunate.â Qi Ming replied.
âItâs fine, itâs fine.â Zhao Changli patted Qi Mingâs shoulder, âAs your senior brother, I canât be happier that youâre alive. Are you interested in telling me what happened? Is Qi Ming really that powerful? He tricked and killed four of you when the five of you joined forces.â
âSenior Brother Zhao, youâre asking too much.â Qi Ming took a deep breath and frowned.
âHahahaâ¦â Zhao Changli laughed a few times. âItâs fine if you donât want to say it. Thereâs no need to have such an ugly expression. This is the last time youâll enter the Immortal King grotto-heaven. I wish you good luck in the Immortal King grotto-heaven.â
âAt that time, you must let me take a good look.â
Qi Ming did not say anything.
Zhao Changli felt bored and left. It was as if he did not want to provoke Ren Baoqi and knew his place.
âRen Baoqi, oh Ren Baoqi.â Qi Ming shook his head in his heart, âIf youâre said to be trash, your aptitude and talent are extremely high, and your luck is extremely good. Behind you are the parents of the first generation Immortal Race. You can be said to be a true second generation Immortal.â
âBut if I donât say that youâre trashâ¦â
âYou were actually caught by Zhao Changli because of that matter. Moreover, you were always threatened by him because of that matter. Such a temperament and personality are really trash.â
Qi Ming pondered for a moment, âItâs fine if this Zhao Changli doesnât affect my plan. If he insists on courting death, Iâll find an opportunity to kill him.â
âWeâve already arrived at the Central Divine Mountain.â
At this moment, Immortal King Linglongâs voice sounded in Qi Mingâs ears. The Exquisite Immortal Boat stopped.
âThat isâ¦â
Qi Ming looked over. What greeted his eyes was only the tip of the iceberg of the Central Divine Mountain. The Exquisite Immortal Boat stopped in the air, and in front of it was the completely invisible Central Divine Mountain.
He looked up.
The diameter of the Central Divine Mountain was impossible to estimate for the time being, and its height was even more unimaginable. The huge divine mountain was like the lord of the heavens as it constantly spread upwards. It was majestic, powerful, and incomparably majestic, as if it had already pierced through the horizon of the Mystic World.
It was unimaginable.
When they approached, they could sense a terrifying pressure emitted by the Central Divine Mountain, and it was like the might of the heavens and the earth. Ordinary people were utterly unable to approach it and would be pressed to the ground by this divine mountain pressure. âExquisite Immortal Path.â
Immortal King Linglong formed hand seals and immortal seals appeared. They tore through the air and fused into the Central Divine Mountain, producing energy fluctuations. Immediately after, clouds and fog surrounded the Central Divine Mountain. A thick staircase spread out from the center divine mountain, and it happened to be connected to the Exquisite Immortal Boat.
âYou can set off.â Immortal King Linglong said, âYou only have three days to follow this Exquisite Immortal Path and step foot on the Central Divine Mountain. Then, you need to rely on yourselves to walk to the top of the Central Divine Mountain in three days.â
âOf course, if you canât reach the top of the Central Divine Mountain in three days, you will lose the qualifications to enter the Immortal King grotto-heaven.â
âThis can be considered a test for you.â
âDo you understand?â
âYes.â
âI understand.â
âYes, Master.â
Qi Ming and the others replied in unison.
Immortal King Linglong nodded. âHurry up and set off.â
âYes.â
âYes.â
The first to leave was the Eldest Senior Brother, Xia Quan, who got off the Exquisite Immortal Boat. He stepped on the void and followed the Exquisite Immortal Path that Immortal King Linglong had established. In the blink of an eye, he had already stepped foot onto the Central Divine Mountain.
Then, Xia Quan quickly set off towards the top of the mountain.
âHahahaâ¦â Zhao Changli laughed a few times and quickly followed, âEldest Senior Brother, youâre still at the front as usual. Wait for me.â
Immediately after, Ye Hanfeng followed closely.
Not long after, the legacy disciples on the Exquisite Immortal Boat stepped onto the Central Divine Mountain one after another along the Exquisite Immortal Path.
Qi Ming became the last.
âRen Baoqi, why arenât you setting off?â Immortal King Linglong asked.
âMaster.â Qi Ming replied, âIâve been in seclusion to reflect over the past few months and have comprehended a lot. This is the last time Iâll enter the Immortal King grotto-heaven and also my last chance.â
âThis time.â
âI will press forward no matter what!â
âYouâ¦â
Somehow, Immortal King Linglong sensed the change in the heavenly secrets. When Qi Ming said this, Immortal King Linglong felt that Ren Baoqiâs fate and the heavenly secrets had changed.
As soon as Qi Ming finished speaking, his figure soared into the sky. He was like a green light that followed the Exquisite Immortal Path that Immortal King Linglong had established and entered the Central Divine Mountain.
âRen Baoqiâ¦â A surprised expression appeared on Immortal King Linglongâs face. He was already unable to deduce Ren Baoqiâs future clearly, âItâs indeed unbelievable.â
âIn a short period of time, Ren Baoqiâs fate and the workings of the heavens have actually undergone such a change. Even Iâm a little unable to figure it out. Although Ren Baoqi was unable to bring Qi Ming back this time, he has experienced this calamity of life and death and comprehended his inner heart. He has strengthened his Dao heart and obtained enlightenment between life and death.â
âIt might be very difficult for Ren Baoqi to become an Immortal King in the future, but thereâs still hope of him becoming the Lord of an Immortal City.â âTo the entire Immortal Race, every additional person with the combat strength of an Immortal City Lord will give us an additional hope in the future. Itâs not a bad thing.â
