Chapter 946 Impact Fusion
A few months later.

Within the Tianyuan Domain, an atmosphere of impending storm permeated the air, and the situation became increasingly turbulent and unsettling.

In contrast to the chaos outside, Qin Ming continued to methodically absorb the fragments of the Time Law within the Emerald Void Garden of the Lingmiao Sect, integrating them into his own primordial spirit and comprehending the power of the Great Dao Law.

Meanwhile, he began to plant the spiritual materials for refining the seventh-order Dao Integration Pill within the Little Spirit Realm, and accelerated their ripening one by one, a task that also took him a lot of time.

Fortunately, he managed to cultivate three sets of materials. With everything ready, Qin Ming began to attempt to refine the pill.

Inside the cave, he was completely focused. He took out the Spirit King Cauldron, summoned the Primordial Poison Flame, and began refining the pill according to the recipe.

In an instant, the area around the cave in the Little Spirit Realm was filled with rosy light, and the aroma of various rare and precious spiritual materials permeated the air.

Qin Ming already had experience refining a genuine seventh-order, nine-transformation tribulation pill, so he was confident in refining a seventh-order saint pill again.

Time passed slowly, and Qin Ming immersed himself in alchemy for several years.

Over the years, the Lingmiao Sect has been in a precarious situation, facing successive coup attempts from the other two major sects in the Tianyuan Domain.

Meanwhile, the demons launched a massive invasion, and the human race's leadership was too preoccupied with dealing with them to pay any attention to the situation here.

At this moment, Lingmiao Sect has undoubtedly become a piece of fat meat in the eyes of those major forces, and everyone wants a share of the pie.

During this period, Qin Ming failed to refine pills several times in a row.

Inside the cave, he looked at the remnants of spiritual herbs in the alchemy furnace and felt quite heartbroken.

After all, even with his cheat-like ability to cultivate these medicinal herbs, they were hard-won and would cause a huge stir in the outside world.

Especially rare herbs like the Mysterious Dew Celestial Grass and the Ice Soul Flame Flower, which even the most powerful sects don't have, can only be found through sheer luck.

Even if you find it, it cannot be used as medicine without the medicinal properties accumulated over tens of thousands of years.

"Which part of the process went wrong?"

Qin Ming tidied up the alchemy furnace and then got up and left the Lesser Spirit Realm.

Seeing that the Sky-Devouring Rat had come out, it approached with a grin, carrying a Shennong hoe, and asked:

"Master, have you successfully refined the Dao Integration Elixir?"

Qin Ming slowly shook his head, "Not yet? It's still a bit lacking."

Then, remembering something, he asked it, "By the way, how did it go with the matter I asked you to go to the Nine Dragons Domain to find Senior Golden Beetle and exchange a Myriad Trees Rejuvenation Talisman for a Myriad Trees Rejuvenation Talisman?"

"Master, rest assured, I have already changed them and, as you instructed, delivered the talisman to Mu Qingyin. I believe she should have recovered her cultivation by now," the Devouring Rat replied.

Judging from its appearance, Qin Ming knew that this fellow must have enjoyed good food and drink at the Golden Beetle's place and received a lot of benefits during its long trip.

Not long after, her belly got even bigger.

"Senior Golden Beetle also asked me to pass on a message to my master, saying that whenever you have time, you should visit his Qingfeng Valley," the Devouring Sky Rat said, as if remembering something else.

"Also, those tortoise and old Taoist crow were living a really comfortable life back then, hehehe!"

Qin Ming nodded upon hearing this. He had a good relationship with Jin Guizi, and now that the alien races were facing a great calamity, maintaining the connections of the big shot was still very necessary.

He guessed that Jin Guizi wanted to ask why Qin Ming didn't continue to be an undercover agent in the demon race.

However, the matter of merging was of utmost importance, and Qin Ming couldn't explain it to the other party in a short time. He could only wait for another opportunity to visit the Nine Dragon Domain.

In the days that followed, Qin Ming traveled around, emptying his mind and pondering the methods of alchemy.

He also took the opportunity to delve deeper into his knowledge of spiritual plants.

Among the possessions of the Spirit Origin Ancestor, there are also some inheritances of more profound spiritual plants, including those of the seventh rank and above.

His departure took him several decades, during which he witnessed the rise and fall of many things in the cultivation world, as well as the tragic scene of the demon army's massive invasion.

This also made him, a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage, feel an even greater sense of urgency.

Qin Ming's main purpose in going out this time was to cultivate his spiritual plant cultivation in the world to the level of 'unity of the Dao realm'.

He is now a seventh-level spirit plant master, an extremely rare existence even in the entire spirit world.

Over the years of his travels, he has left behind many masterpieces and miracles, and there are even legends about various spiritual plant patriarchs, which are faintly circulating in the cultivation world.

Qin Ming's understanding of the Dao of Spiritual Plants has deepened to a level that was previously unparalleled.

Furthermore, during his travels in the world, Qin Ming also comprehended a trace of the power of the law from that fragment of the law of time.

This was quite unexpected for him.

The main reason is that he cultivates the "Eternal Azure Emperor Technique," which allows him to absorb the energy of time through his natal spiritual plants over a long period of time, making him extremely compatible with the laws of time.

Therefore, he grasped the concepts with ease, even though it was only a superficial understanding, it was still extremely difficult.

Reaching this level of cultivation is not just about accumulating cultivation power, but about becoming one with heaven and earth.

This opportunity for enlightenment during his trip allowed Qin Ming to achieve the 'unity of law and principle'. As a prerequisite for breaking through to the Integration Stage, one must at least comprehend a law that is compatible with oneself, so that when one breaks through to the Integration Stage in the future, one can make it the origin of the cultivator.

"It seems that what the Azure Emperor Venerable comprehended back then must also be the power of the law of time."

"The Eight Gates Reincarnation Mirror, which contains the heaven-defying life-shortening divine power, the Azure Emperor's Technique, and the Time Tomb, which left behind its legacy—all of these are related to the laws of time."

With these thoughts in mind, Qin Ming returned to the Lingmiao Sect's medicine garden once again.

They then resumed refining the seventh-order Dao Integration Pill.

Sure enough, after this period of mental reflection, perhaps because he had become a different person, good fortune descended upon him once again.

Qin Ming's alchemy techniques changed continuously, and the Primordial Poison Flame, transformed from the Golden Spirit, burned fiercely beneath the Spirit King Cauldron.

Under his powerful divine sense, the medicinal properties within the alchemy furnace were completely integrated, eventually condensing into a white ball of light the size of a millet grain.

hum~
The moment this pill condensed, a vast wave reverberated throughout the heavens and earth, resonating with a certain Dao!
Immediately afterwards, eighteen concentric circles of seven-colored halos appeared around the white light, exuding a sacred feeling, as if a divine elixir had just been produced.

The moment the elixir was completed.

The world within the Little Spirit Realm began to change dramatically, giving rise to astonishing phenomena. A purple-gold elixir tribulation descended, continuously bombarding Qin Ming's cave.

The Devouring Sky Rat and the other beasts were also startled by this commotion and hurriedly looked towards Qin Ming's cave.

"What kind of cultivation technique is Master practicing now? It's truly terrifying!" The old demon Qingyang stroked his beard, revealing a mysterious smile, and exclaimed in admiration, "I never expected that this young friend Qin is truly a genius! Not only has his mastery of spiritual plants reached its peak, but his talent in alchemy is also extremely heaven-defying. He actually managed to concoct the 'Harmony Pill' all by himself, hehehe!"

"What?! Master has successfully refined it?" Upon hearing this, the Devouring Rat and the Little Silver Fox also showed excited expressions.

After most of the day had passed.

The seventh-order pill tribulation within the Lesser Spirit Realm finally dissipated.

This was the first time Qin Ming had ever witnessed such a strange phenomenon in alchemy. It broadened his horizons and gave him valuable experience, which would greatly help him in refining seventh-grade spiritual pills in the future.

He reached out and snatched the coveted opportunity of the seventh-order Dao Integration Pill, which many cultivators dreamed of, into his hand.

This pill was extremely miraculous, existing in a state that was neither real nor illusory. It was something that could greatly help a cultivator at the peak of the Void Refinement stage when trying to break through to the Body Integration stage.

Its effects are even better than those of seventh-tier spiritual treasures like the Soul-Stabilizing Divine Water and the Void Spirit Divine Milk.

Having successfully completed the alchemy, Qin Ming revealed a long-lost smile as he carefully placed the Dao Integration Pill into a special jade bottle.

Such miraculous elixirs that can assist in breaking through to the Integration Stage are not even found in Integration Stage sects, according to the last words of Ancestor Lingyuan.

Even he, no other Grandmaster of the Integration Realm has been able to refine this pill to this day.

These old monsters had traveled all over the various alien races in the spirit world and ventured into ancient ruins to obtain the opportunity to merge with the spirit.

At this point, Qin Ming had made all the necessary preparations.

They possessed a wealth of spiritual items and means to resist the Great Calamity of Integration and the Calamity of Inner Demons, and their magical cultivation had reached a state of perfection.

"Next, all that's left is to set up the Fusion Formation and find a place where seventh-order spiritual veins converge, then we can begin our attempt to break through to the Fusion stage."

Qin Ming had been waiting for this moment for far too long, and he had already made his plans to break through on the spot.

However, the process of breaking through to the Integration Stage is not as easy as the previous stages, often requiring decades or even centuries.

A seventh-tier spiritual vein environment and a safe place for breakthrough are required.

After thinking it over, Qin Ming felt that Cui Xu Garden was quite good now. Although it was a bit chaotic outside, Lingmiao Sect had a seventh-order spiritual vein, and no one would pay attention to such a remote medicinal garden.

On the contrary, it is an extremely suitable feng shui treasure land.

As for why he didn't choose to break through in the Lesser Spirit Realm or the Desolate Realm, it was because he was afraid that when he tried to break through to the Integration Stage, he didn't know what kind of changes might occur.

If a conflict arises between the laws, causing the Little Spirit Realm, a small world that has been painstakingly built up, to collapse, then it would truly be a case of losing more than one gains.

Within the desolate realm, beings above the Integration Stage are not allowed to appear, lest some unexpected trouble arise.

Therefore, Qin Ming chose to break through in the Spirit Realm.

Among the belongings left behind by the Old Ancestor Lingyuan was the great formation he used when he broke through to the Integration stage. He also told Qin Ming about the method and location of the seventh-order spiritual vein of the Lingmiao Sect.

He only needs to modify and set up the fusion formation, and then guide the seventh-order spiritual energy to the bottom of the Emerald Void Garden, and he can try to break through to the fusion stage on the spot.

After several days of adjustments and recovery.

Qin Ming stepped out of the cave and began setting up the combined formation deep within the Emerald Void Garden, according to the established plan.

This seventh-order grand formation has three advantages: first, it can gather the energy of spiritual veins; second, it can ensure that cultivators are not disturbed by the outside world when they break through; and third, it can completely conceal the aura of heaven and earth's primordial energy, and also has the effect of obscuring heavenly secrets.

However, Qin Ming still felt that one layer of protection was not enough, so he went to collect some more materials and, together with the resources of the Spirit Origin Ancestor, set up two more seventh-order arrays.

It can be said to be extremely extravagant, which is also thanks to the high-grade immortal jade left by the Spirit Origin Ancestor, as well as many rare spiritual materials.

Otherwise, even Qin Ming, a skilled cook, would be powerless to make a meal without ingredients.

With everything prepared, Qin Ming glanced around at his surroundings and, before entering seclusion, gave the Devouring Sky Rat some instructions:

"I am about to attempt to break through to the Integration stage, which will take a lot of time. You guys keep a close watch on the outside. Even if the sky falls, don't let anyone in."

"Just say that I have gone on a long journey for training and have not yet returned. We can talk about it when I get back."

The Sky-Eating Rat was also extremely excited. It was about to witness its thighs grow even thicker, and it patted its chest, guaranteeing:
"Master, you can rest assured and go into seclusion. I will take care of everything outside and won't let a single fly in."

After explaining to the Devouring Sky Rat, Qin Ming had no more worries and immediately entered the cave in the Emerald Void Garden to activate the Fusion Array.

In an instant, layers of invisible light curtains appeared, enveloping the entire Cui Xu Garden and completely concealing the aura within.

Qin Ming activated the great formation one after another, which also mobilized the spiritual veins under the main peak of the Lingmiao Sect. The rich spiritual energy of the veins, like a giant whale sucking water, continuously gathered under his seat.

At this moment, his gaze was dark and deep, and he was like a tall and evergreen ancient tree, unchanged through the ages.

"The path to immortality is long and winding. I never imagined that I, Qin Ming, would one day stand before the realm of the Unity stage."

"With such divine favor bestowed upon me, it would be an outrage against heaven if I did not achieve the Fusion Body!"

Qin Ming activated the "Eternal Azure Emperor Technique," and his immortal body, which was indestructible and full of spiritual energy, emerged from behind him.

His first step in breaking through to the next realm was to take out the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Fruit and consume it, thus undergoing a major tribulation of inner demons ahead of time.

The azure spiritual fruit melted instantly upon entering his mouth, transforming into a strange spiritual energy that flowed into Qin Ming's primordial spirit within his Purple Mansion, leaving an extremely smooth sensation.
Moreover, it has an excellent taste and a fruity aroma that leaves a lasting impression; it truly lives up to its reputation as something passed down from the realm of immortals.

The moment Qin Ming consumed the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Fruit, the world before his eyes suddenly changed, as if the heavens and earth had been transformed in an instant.
The endless desires that embody the seven emotions and six desires of all living beings surged forth in his heart at this moment, causing all kinds of great terrors that inspired awe and attempted to thwart his courageous and diligent pursuit of the path.

Furthermore, the various desires deep within the cultivators' hearts were amplified infinitely in an instant, impacting Qin Ming's mind.

The process of experiencing the evolution of inner demons seemed incredibly long; Qin Ming went through a thousand years of reincarnation, while it was only a blink of an eye for the outside world.

The Tribulation of Merging with the Heart Demon requires a cultivator's mind to be perfectly balanced and without flaws. Even the slightest wavering of obsession or doubt will lead to being bewitched by the Demon King and falling into the trap of becoming a demon's child or a demon citizen.

Cultivating immortality is all about achieving a state of perfect clarity of mind.

Throughout his journey, Qin Ming has experienced and witnessed numerous changes in the world, which has tempered him into an extremely resolute individual.

One cultivates a steadfast Dao heart, remaining unmoved no matter what inner demons one faces.

A hundred lifetimes pass in the blink of an eye, all turning into fleeting smoke.
"A human life is but a hundred years, as fleeting as a mayfly's day."

"Today, I, Qin, will prove the Great Dao of Integration! Nothing can stop me!"
