Chapter 773 Immortal Abode Opens, Lan Bing Breaks Through
The group spent several days together.

Qin Ming told Qi Xiaoyu and the other two to freely choose their own cave dwellings within the Little Turtle Peak spiritual land, and to settle down in peace.

They finally had a place to stay.

He then began taking the Transformation Pill to eliminate the otherworldly aura from his body and adapt to the environment of the spirit world. This process would take several years.

After ascending to the Spirit Realm, they were all nourished by the spiritual energy of the Spirit Realm, and their lifespans increased to about four thousand years.

As a member of the demon race, Yue Lingyan has a longer lifespan.

Qin Ming sent Baili Hui to Tianxing City to process identity tokens for the three of them.

They said they were rogue cultivators who had come to seek refuge at Little Turtle Peak.

Given Qin Ming's current reputation and status as a peace ambassador in the cultivation world, the human race's upper echelons wouldn't interfere too much if he took in a few Nascent Soul stage cultivators as his subordinates.

Moreover, he was not only a guest elder of the Immortal City, but also a distinguished guest of the Grand Commander of the Purple Gold Sacred Armor.

This level of status and connections, even though they are only guest elders, have an influence far exceeding that of ordinary Void Refinement stage elders.

Therefore, it didn't take long to get their identities sorted out.

Once the otherworldly aura is eliminated, one can appear openly and legitimately outside.

As for Yue Lingyan, Qin Ming can simply say that she is his newly acquired spirit pet.

After all, her identity as a demon beast is still quite sensitive.

Qin Ming also instructed them to keep the information about the ascended cultivators a secret to avoid causing any trouble.

In fact, with Qin Ming's current cultivation level, he already has the ability to protect himself. Even if his information about ascending to become a cultivator is discovered, he no longer has many taboos.

However, if you can survive for a while, try to survive for as long as possible.

In fact, aside from the corvée labor in the Immortal City, ascended cultivators are quite good in other aspects.

Qin Ming also inquired about their wishes.

The three of them shared the same idea and gradually settled down in Xiaoguifeng.

However, during this time, Han Ya Shangren and Qi Xiaoyu learned an incredibly astonishing piece of news from their conversation with Baili Hui.

That is, Qin Ming achieved the status of a dual sixth-level skill master, and also had close ties with the high-ranking officials of Tianxing City, serving as a peace ambassador and resolving the conflict between the alien races.

They even killed the invading demon cultivators at the Void Refinement stage.
"I'm afraid it's more than that."

Looking at the sixth-order formation on the main peak, Qi Xiaoyu could vaguely tell that it was an upgrade of the Taihao Nine Luminaries Immortal-Slaying Formation by Qin Ming.

This was the array formation inheritance that he personally passed on to Qin Ming.

His mastery of formations is estimated to have already reached the sixth level, far surpassing his old friends in the mortal realm.

Yue Lingyan was overjoyed.

Because she discovered that the little silver fox had not only awakened the supreme true spirit bloodline of the fox clan, but its cultivation level had also surpassed hers.

She also realized that her decision to let the little silver fox follow Qin Ming to the Spirit Realm for cultivation was the right one.

With his current cultivation level and various connections, Qin Ming is practically a local immortal.

Near Tianxing City, all the major and minor forces in the Donghuang Mountains nominally develop independently, but in reality, they are all merely vassals of Xiaogui Peak.

The three of them quickly adapted to the spirit world.

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

After taking the Transformation Pill several times, the lower realm aura on the three of them was completely eliminated, making them no different from native cultivators of the Spirit Realm.

They can also freely enter and exit the human race's spirit realm without worrying about being discovered and conscripted.

However, they still spent some time cultivating diligently in their respective caves, cherishing this hard-won environment for cultivation.

They didn't wander around.

This day.

On the main peak of Little Turtle Peak, Qi Xiaoyu and Qin Ming drank tea and exchanged their insights on array formations.

During this time, he suddenly asked in confusion, "Brother Qin, we've been here for so long, where is your wife, Fellow Daoist Xiao? Why haven't I seen her?"

"It's a long story. After she ascended to the Spirit Realm, she was taken away by the Star Palace, one of the three holy lands of the human race. However, I secretly inquired with the Grand Commander and found that she is doing even better in her cultivation there, so there is no need to worry too much," Qin Ming explained.

"I will go find her again when I have improved my strength."

Qi Xiaoyu suddenly realized that not only Su Yuqing, but also the others had their own great opportunities.

This made him even more eager to cultivate in the spirit world.

……

at the same time.

In the demon realm, within a vast canyon stretching for tens of thousands of miles, endless gray mist surges from the earth, obscuring a massive complex of buildings in the sky.

It resembles a celestial abode, a blessed land.

However, it appears like a mirage, something that can be seen but not reached, seemingly extremely illusory and ethereal.

At this moment, numerous powerful figures stood suspended in mid-air nearby.

The demon general Ao Yu gazed intently at the immortal abode in the distance.

He then turned to a demon general shrouded in black robes beside him and said, "I didn't expect that there would be such strict restrictions on entering this large immortal mansion. Only cultivators below the Integration stage can enter. We are not qualified to enter."

"In addition, a golden key is also required."

"What I promised you before still stands. However, there are very few of these golden talismans within our demon race, so you will have to find a way to obtain them yourself."

The demon general said in an extremely cold voice, "In that case, my holy clan will first send five Void Refinement Demon Sons in. After they find the Golden Talisman Key, we will send more people."

"Deal. Don't forget our agreed-upon deal," Ao Yu Yao Shuai said coldly.

"Besides, the emergence of this immortal abode has lasted for so long, it's impossible to keep it a secret from other alien races. There might be some with golden talisman keys who sneak in, especially the human race. At that time, we'll have to have our disciples cooperate to deal with these opportunists first."

"Okay," the demon general agreed.

As soon as they finished speaking, several powerful cultivators behind them, all of whom were top figures from the demon and monster races, activated the golden talismans in their hands and disappeared into the illusory blessed land in the air.

A strange scene unfolded: those who possessed the golden talismans, upon approaching the illusory realm in the sky, experienced ripples spreading around them, and actually entered the secret realm, disappearing without a trace.

Those cultivators who were attracted by the emergence of the secret realm but did not have the golden talisman key could not enter the secret realm no matter what they tried.

Passing through the illusory image of the blessed land in mid-air is like seeing a flower in one's eye or the moon in a mirror.

elusive.

Even more unlucky cultivators triggered the restrictions, exploding into clouds of blood mist in mid-air and dying on the spot.

In an instant, the feverish minds of those cultivators who coveted the Immortal Abode Secret Realm but did not possess the Golden Talisman Key quickly cooled down, and they hesitated to proceed.

More and more cultivators of all kinds gathered around, with people from all walks of life coming together.

Even though the demon race had deployed a large force to guard this place, they still couldn't prevent some from slipping through the net.

Among the crowd, a silver-clad woman stood motionless in mid-air, her gaze fixed on the Linglong Immortal Abode Secret Realm above.

Only a century has passed.

At this moment, the aura emanating from her body had already reached the mid-stage of the sixth rank, and she was only one step away from the late stage of the sixth rank.

Her eyes were incredibly deep, and it seemed as if a voice from a secret realm was calling to her.
The silver-clad woman's figure blurred for a moment, then without hesitation flew directly towards the mirage, disappearing into it amidst the astonished gazes of the onlookers.
This drew gasps of amazement from the nearby cultivators:
"Which great demon tribe does this person belong to?" "How can he enter the Immortal Abode Secret Realm without using the Golden Talisman Key? Could it be that he has some special methods?"

"Impossible. The Linglong Immortal Abode Secret Realm is rumored to be something that fell from the True Immortal Realm. Without the corresponding runes and keys, how could one possibly enter?"

In the nearby void.

The human race's Zi Chen Divine Lord and others, along with several other Void Refinement cultivators who obtained the Golden Talisman Key, secretly disguised themselves as demon race cultivators and hid in the shadows.

Once they had observed the situation sufficiently, they immediately took out the golden talisman keys in their hands, seized the opportunity, and followed the other demons into the secret realm.

Other cultivators with extraordinary luck who obtained the Golden Talisman Key would enter it every so often.

And most of them were cultivators at or above the Void Refinement stage.

Among the three races of humans, demons, and monsters, only a few people were able to enter the Immortal Abode Secret Realm in the first batch, totaling only about thirty people.

This is the end.

Thus began a wide-ranging struggle for resources within the immortal abodes and secret realms.
……

On Little Turtle Peak, the weather was fine and sunny.

Qin Ming had naturally received the information from Baili Hui and heard about some intelligence from the demon race.

However, even though there were many extraordinary opportunities inside, he had no interest in them.

This day.

Qin Ming was tending to the spirit fields on the main peak when he saw a streak of azure light fall in front of him, revealing the figure of the Cold Crow Immortal.

"Hehe! Senior Qin's cultivation has reached such a high level that he even personally takes care of things like tending to the spirit fields?"

"No wonder your cultivation level is far ahead of ours, I am truly ashamed!"

Master Hanya smiled slightly and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards Qin Ming.

"Fellow Daoist Han Ya, there's no need for us to stand on ceremony. Is there anything I can do for you?" Qin Ming asked, putting down what he was doing.

The Cold Crow Master said, "Now that we've come to the Spirit Realm, I can't always live under someone else's roof and take advantage of Senior Qin. So over the years, I've managed to figure out some of the situations in Tianxing City."

"I plan to do some business with Brother Qi and Old Man Diaoyun in the shops in the city. To express our gratitude, we will give a portion of the profits from the business to Senior Qin every year."

"Oh? That's not necessarily a bad thing. With Fellow Daoist Han Ya's shrewd mind, he might actually be able to accomplish something great." Qin Ming was also slightly surprised. He recalled how Venerable Han Ya was able to save Xuanqing Temple from the brink of destruction and ultimately revitalize the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was enough to demonstrate his skill and ability.

Someone like him certainly couldn't stay on the mountain farming like Qin Ming.

However, the main reason is that the gap between their cultivation levels and Qin Ming's is widening.

Now that they've arrived in the Spirit Realm, they'd like to seize their own opportunities. With their business acumen and cultivation skills, it shouldn't be too difficult for them to make a name for themselves in a major human city like Tianxing City.

"Since Fellow Daoist Han Ya has made up his mind, I, Qin, will speak with the Zhitian Palace and have them arrange for you to have a place to stay in the inner city."

Master Hanya's expression brightened with joy, and he immediately said gratefully, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry. It's all thanks to Senior Qin's help; otherwise, we might be conscripted in the army right now."

Subsequently.

Han Ya Shangren and Qi Xiaoyu bid farewell to Qin Ming and left Xiao Guifeng to develop their careers in Tianxing City.

Fortunately, the rooms are not far apart.

Yue Lingyan, on the other hand, continued to cultivate in seclusion at Little Turtle Peak.

……

A few days later.

Within Xiaoling territory, another upheaval was brewing.
Qin Ming and the Devouring Sky Rat also noticed it and looked towards the direction of the cave where Fairy Blue Ice was located.

She fell into a deep sleep for decades after consuming two Spirit-Summoning Fruits.

It is even better than the Silverwing Frost Bee from back then.

"It looks like she's about to break through as well."

The terrifying primordial energy and rosy clouds within Xiaoling Realm covered tens of thousands of miles, transforming into tides that continuously poured into the cave.

A full two weeks later...

A massive spiritual pressure at the level of a sixth-order demon god suddenly appeared in the Lesser Spirit Realm.

Phew! !

A clear and ethereal phoenix cry echoed for a long time in the small spirit realm.

In an instant, a magnificent ice crystal bird appeared in mid-air, with a wingspan of a thousand feet.

Its body exuded terrifying spatial power, which had already surpassed the limits that a cultivator in the Void Refinement stage could reach.

Immediately afterwards, the Ice Crystal Nether Sparrow in mid-air transformed again, instantly becoming an Ice Phoenix, trailing long phoenix feathers and exuding the pressure of ancient true spirit bloodline.

An extremely cold force of ice-attribute spread out in all directions.
Even the primordial energy of heaven and earth can be frozen instantly.

Clearly, Fairy Blue Ice has perfectly fused the two bloodline powers within her body, enabling her to switch forms at will and comprehend the power of two laws simultaneously.

The innate talent inherent in the True Spirit Bloodline.

This allowed her to grasp and control spatial and ice-attribute powers with even greater ease.

After she advanced to the sixth rank, the two true spirit bloodlines in her body, purified by the sixth-rank top-grade Spirit Summoning Fruit, also reached a purity of over 90%.

Therefore, like the Devouring Rat and Xiao Qing, no heavenly tribulation was brought down.

The enormous ice phoenix in the sky transformed, reverting to the aloof and elegant appearance of the Blue Ice Fairy. It flew down to Qin Ming, gracefully bowed, and expressed its gratitude in a clear and melodious voice:
"Thank you, Master, for this opportunity that has allowed me to advance to the sixth level of the Void Refinement Realm."

"Hmm, not bad, not bad. Your ability to cultivate to such a level is not only due to luck and opportunity, but also inseparable from your own efforts. No need for such formalities." Qin Ming nodded approvingly and lifted her up with a flick of his sleeve.

From then on, besides Xiaoqing and Yinyi, he also gained a powerful sixth-order true spirit as an ally.

After the Blue Ice Fairy advances, her flight speed will be even faster, approaching that of the Integration Stage and above, and she will be able to take Qin Ming to more distant realms.

Leaving aside its extremely high combat power.

Having a True Spirit-level Ice Phoenix as a flying mount is extremely prestigious.

It's something many people dream of.

Qin Ming was secretly delighted.

He immediately lectured the Devouring Rat, "See? You both eat the same spiritual treasures, but Fairy Blue Ice and Little Green have already advanced to the sixth rank, while you're still stuck at the fifth rank perfection. Be careful, or I'll cut off your food supply."

Upon hearing this, the Devouring Rat looked dejected. "Master, I've already tried my best. I'll definitely work even harder in my cultivation to catch up with them."

"Hmm." Qin Ming nodded in satisfaction.

Blue Ice Fairy's cultivation level was already much higher than that of the Devouring Sky Rat and the others, so it was reasonable for her to break through to the sixth level first.

However, seeing all his companions taking off, the Sky-Eating Rat couldn't help but feel a little down.

however.

Its low spirits were quickly swept away at the following celebratory banquet.

They ate and drank to their hearts' content, unleashing the innate talents of the Soul Devouring Clan, like a bottomless pit.
