Chapter 1716 - 675: Xuannü Palace

Chapter 1716: Chapter 675: Xuannü Palace

The forest ahead in the Earth Realm is lush, and the Fire Spring bubbles on, casting a hazy halo in the night, vaguely revealing the outline of the woods, possessing a unique tranquil serenity.

Qin Ming glanced back, behind the Ancient Mist Gate stretched darkness and barrenness, yet this side was teeming with life.

He often pondered, why is this Night Fog World so vast, surpassing the domain from before the sun disappeared by countless times? What’s the reason behind this?

In ancient times, there was still the concept of a Life Star, but now the domain is so grand it’s almost absurd, the two aren’t even in the same league.

Everything is a mystery, like this deep night, shrouded in thick fog.

Qin Ming softly said, "Across the Night Fog World, there are various races, and one civilization after another, some sharing the same origin, and many shrouded in mystery, with other sources."

He traveled through the Primitive Mountain Range, heading towards the heartland where Xuannü Palace was located.

"This is the domain ruled by a Supreme Martial Hall, with a range occasionally extending millions of miles." After traveling various places, Qin Ming had developed a clear understanding.

During his journey, most of the time his consciousness adhered to Old Bu, engaging in Divine Travel, mainly because it’s fast, and relatively safe.

Otherwise, wandering long paths in the night would eventually lead to trouble.

Not to mention unknown regions, even in Ye State, those places without Fire Springs often come with bizarre incidents.

Some involve the Night Ruins, and others have no known origin.

Two days later, on a towering mountain, Qin Ming sat quietly, breathing deeply, as fine electric light emerged on his body surface, more profound than before.

Only during daily cultivation does his True Body appear.

He obtained the complete "Taichu Thunder Seal" in Yao Guang City and had been delving into it, reaching a new level of understanding in the Thunder Seal.

His breath brimming with electric arcs, exhaling impure air accompanied by lightning, more terrifying than Flying Swords.

Just like now, Qin Ming gently exhaled, a beam of Thunder Seal light directly slicing off the opposite mountain peak, leaving half of it gone.

No earthshaking occurred; the mountain remained unmoved, but smoke billowed from the fracture, as if a giant beast had bitten off a piece from thin air.

In the dense night, old papers fluttered around Qin Ming, embodying Scripture Meaning, swirling around him.

In the Void, densely packed Taichu Thunder Seals evolved into an Array, constructing an insurmountable Domain, enveloping him within.

Late at night, a colossal creature tore through the night fog, descending slowly.

Although it moved lightly, it still stirred up terrifying airflows.

Shaped like a rhinoceros, its body covered in dark golden Scale Armor, with a pair of fleshy wings, it suddenly accelerated, diving towards the luminous figure on the mountain.

In an instant, it broke the sound barrier, and its white horn began to glow, unleashing three terrifying Thunder Fires, completely illuminating the night sky.

This was a renowned vicious beast—the Thunder Fire Rhinoceros, ranked on the strange beast list, with extremely strong individual combat power.

It was situated in the mid-stage of Grandmaster Domain, coupled with its massive physique, incredibly intimidating, possessing a crushing advantage over creatures of the same level.

Qin Ming frowned, muttering to himself, "In a place without an Extreme Fire Spring, yet there’s a high-level abnormality present?"

He had experience traveling worldwide in the Night Fog World, intentionally choosing desolate places to cultivate, and yet dangerous monsters still appeared.

Qin Ming remained unmoving, still sitting cross-legged on the mountain, until the three Thunder Fires poured down, engulfing everything, burning the void twisted, threatening to melt the mountain body. Only then did he raise his right hand, instantly weaving a dense Thunder Seal into the void, scattering the crimson Thunder Fire in an instant.

In the eyes of this ferocious beast, the man below was full of spirituality, and to it, an exquisite Big Medicine, capable of strengthening its bloodline and muscles.

Upon seeing the Thunder Fire extinguished instantly, its entire dark golden Scale Armor trembled, clanged loudly, erupted Thunder Light, suddenly halted its downward rush, ready to flee.

However, it was all too late.

Qin Ming raised his right hand, chaotic Heavenly Light surged, manifesting a massive palm in the night sky, clutched the Thunder Fire Rhinoceros, and grasped it down.

"How could such a barren land have such a giant ferocity?" was the Thunder Fire Rhinoceros’s last thought.

It was a strong person of Grandmaster Level, in this terrifying era of Tao Rhythm vibrancy, it was among the few creatures able to hunt freely, the old folks were all debilitated, afraid to venture out casually.

In the end, the fierce man caught it like a small chick, plucked it over.

Soon after, the mountain was filled with strong fragrance, Qin Ming cooked a cauldron of meat broth, and grilled high-level abnormality meat over the campfire to a sizzling crisp.

"After cultivating all night, it’s time to replenish." He feasted heartily.

If every meal consisted of Grandmaster Level high-level abnormality, even the deep-rooted Great Sect couldn’t endure.

"The "Taichu Thunder Seal" is almost mastered; no wonder it’s the legendary famous article, some can slay across an era with this scripture alone." Qin Ming was very satisfied.

After eating and drinking enough, tidying up the aftermath, he continued on his journey.

"Jiang Ran is very outstanding, should she be nurtured by the Supreme Martial Hall, she likely could shine brilliantly." Qin Ming wasn’t particularly worried for his fellow townsman.

Jiang Ran is gifted with extraordinary talents; whether in the Furnace of Eight Trigrams or the Mystic Lady Celestial Spear’s Artifact Spirits, they all said she was concealing her strength, hiding half of her abilities.

Even so, her performance back then was remarkably stunning, possessing the dominance among the young generation on the Immortal Road.

Reflecting back to the initial encounter at Black and White Mountain, Qin Ming had just embarked on the Newborn Road, Jiang Ran could already contend with the Old Weasel riding a donkey, Ling Xu who was the City Lord of Chixia City’s Fourth Realm, and others, successfully seizing the greatest opportunity.

At that time, Qin Ming was sixteen, Jiang Ran merely one or two years older.
