I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

Chapter 212 Collection
In the courtyard.

Wu Ming held the Thunderous Sun Spear in his hand and swung it continuously.

With each swing, countless visible arcs of lightning streaked across the field. The spear continued to lash out, its power impenetrable, forming a clearly visible net of lightning, accompanied by thunderous roars—a truly astonishing sight.

Wu Ming was adapting to both the spiritual power of the heavenly thunder contained within the spear and its weight. After all, it weighed over 1,300 jin, far heavier than the Crimson Black Gold Spear he had used before. Only because he had reached the fifth stage of Blood Condensation, cultivated the Thunder Fiend Martial Body to a high degree, and mastered his skills, could he barely control it freely.

He is practicing the Thunderclap Spear Technique.

Starting with the first move, continue executing it backwards.

The tenth move,
The eleventh move,
The twelfth move,

……

When he reached the fifteenth move, Wu Ming's spear paused slightly, showing a hint of awkwardness.

He had already mastered the first fifteen moves of the Thunderclap Spear Technique, and the fifteenth move was also a masterpiece. However, due to the excessive weight of the Thunderclap Spear and the influence of the thunder's power, the latter moves became somewhat sluggish again.

He has been practicing and getting used to the spear for the past two days, and he has almost gotten used to it. He can now release the fifteenth move normally, although it is slightly stiff and slow, but the impact is not significant.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Wu Ming then swung his spear several times, unleashing his fifteenth move.

The spear, imbued with the power of thunder, seemed to truly live up to its name, Thunderclap Spear Technique. With a single strike, thunder roared, unleashing countless lightning bolts. As it pierced through, it resembled a canopy of heaven, carrying endless arcs of lightning that swept across the land.

at last,

Wu Ming lowered his spear and stopped.

The initial awkwardness with the fifteenth move finally disappeared completely after he practiced for a while.

Just as Wu Ming put down his spear, a servant hurriedly ran over to him.

"Lord Wu."

"The academy master wants you to go to the Hidden Dragon Hall, saying that the time has come."

The attendant reported respectfully.

"it is good."

After hearing this, Wu Ming glanced at him and nodded slightly.

He turned around and instead of heading to the Hidden Dragon Palace immediately, he walked to his own courtyard, went into his bedroom, and quickly packed his belongings into his luggage.

He then went to the door and glanced at the bedroom. The bedroom was clean and tidy, just as it had been when he first came here.

"More than three years."

Wu Ming took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

He has been at the Hidden Dragon Academy for more than three years. Compared to three years ago, he has made great strides and his strength is now incomparable. He has made breakthroughs in all aspects, from martial arts to Taoist magic. He can even fight against a six-transformation great demon.

today,

It's finally time to leave.

With his current strength, he could actually go anywhere in Yong Kingdom. No matter which city he went to, he could rule over it, become a local emperor, and establish a powerful family that would prosper for hundreds of years.

But these are not what he is after.

Within the Hidden Dragon Academy, he grew all the way to the position of the number one among the younger generation. Here, he obtained countless resources and saw a more expansive world, witnessing the path to immortality that leads to those who have undergone seven blood and seven refinements.

A lifetime of prosperity and wealth, a lifetime of extravagance and pleasure... these are nothing to him, nor are they what he desires. What he wants is to live in harmony with the world, to transcend the mundane, and to be immortal!

To achieve immortality, one must find sufficient resources in the sacred cultivation grounds of the Great Jin Dynasty.

After glancing at the small courtyard where he had lived for more than three years, Wu Ming turned and walked away, his eyes no longer showing any lingering affection. This place was just a point in his life, a place of residence, and now he was about to step into a more magnificent world.

Inside the courtyard,
Some servants knelt respectfully, watching Wu Ming leave. Some pretty maids and concubines looked at Wu Ming's departing figure with some sadness and disappointment. In the end, they still failed to move Wu Ming's heart.

……

The Hidden Dragon Hall. When Wu Ming arrived at the hall, it was already filled with a large number of people.

Among them were Gu Liufeng, Bai Qiulan, and others, who greeted Wu Ming warmly upon his arrival.

"Senior Brother Wu."

Everyone immediately started addressing him as "senior brother".

The principle of respecting strength is a common trait in almost every place, and the Hidden Dragon Academy is no exception. Wu Ming has already passed the ninth level of the Hidden Dragon Tower, making him the undisputed number one in the Hidden Dragon Academy, and even the number one in history. Naturally, no one can call Wu Ming junior brother anymore. He is already the undisputed senior brother of both the Dao and Martial Academies, and even Gu Liufeng respects him.

"coming."

Meng Huaizhen smiled and nodded as he looked at Wu Ming who had arrived.

When others arrived, even Gu Liufeng, they were not qualified for him, the head of the academy, to take the initiative to greet them. Wu Ming was the only one, and he was also the one whose status was completely different from the others. While the others had to compete for the quota of the cultivation holy land, Wu Ming was guaranteed to enter. In the Hundred Kingdoms Prodigy Battle, he was only competing for a specific ranking.

"Master."

Wu Ming, not one to be presumptuous, returned Meng Huaizhen's greeting with a bow.

Although Meng Huaizhen was kind and very polite to him, the other party was, after all, the head of the academy, and no matter how high his talent was, his strength was still far from reaching the level of Seven Blood Seven Refinements. He still had to maintain respect in front of Meng Huaizhen.

Just after Wu Ming and Meng Huaizhen exchanged a few words, a figure in a corner of the hall called out to Wu Ming.

"Senior Brother Wu."

The figure stood out somewhat from the others in the hall; it was Yan Chuyu.

She had not yet mastered the art of blood coagulation after five attempts, and was not originally qualified to participate in the Hundred Kingdoms Prodigies Battle. However, due to the influence of the King of Yong Kingdom, she was allowed to accompany Wu Ming to the Hundred Kingdoms Prodigies Battle as his attendant, and then followed Wu Ming into the sacred cultivation ground.

Because of her special circumstances, she was naturally not on the same page as the others in the hall. However, she was free-spirited and yearned for martial arts. She had the qualifications to go to the holy land of cultivation, so she did not care about the reasons or the opinions of others.

Only when facing Wu Ming was she not as composed as before; her gaze flickered slightly, and her cheeks flushed.

If it were only because of Wu Ming that she was granted the qualification to go to the sacred cultivation site as an attendant, she might be grateful and happy, but not as evasive as she is now. The main problem lies with her family.

Firstly, a few days ago, Prince Yong personally summoned her and ordered her to go to the sacred cultivation site as Wu Ming's attendant, instructing her to follow and serve him well and obey his orders.

This order left her somewhat bewildered, but she quickly agreed. On one hand, she couldn't disobey the king's command; on the other hand, she wasn't originally qualified to go to the sacred cultivation ground. Being able to follow Wu Ming to the Great Jin, even as a follower, was a rare opportunity. With her talent, if she stayed in Yong, it would be very difficult for her to reach the fifth level of blood cultivation in the future, and even if she did, she would most likely only reach the fifth level of blood coagulation.

But if they go to the Great Jin, the future is uncertain. Six times of blood coagulation or even higher is not without hope.

At this moment, her mind was filled with joy, but then, her maternal grandfather, the Prince of Anping, personally summoned her. This grandfather, whom she had only met a few times since she was born, was no longer indifferent and aloof in front of her. Instead, he became incredibly kind and approachable, chatting with her for a long time before telling her more details.

He then bluntly instructed her to obey Wu Ming's orders and not to disobey any of his requests. He also suggested that it would be best if she could have some physical intimacy with him, become Wu Ming's concubine or mistress, and bear him a son or daughter.

Yan Chuyu was naturally carefree, yearned for martial arts, and was unconcerned with trivial matters, but that depended on the situation. When she was in Jingye City, before Wu Ming rose to prominence, those so-called prodigies, such as Xiao Yang, were nothing compared to the prodigies in the Royal City's Hidden Dragon Academy. She had grown up in the Royal City since childhood and had a wide range of knowledge, so she naturally didn't care.

Wu Ming, however, was different. In Jingye City, he rose like an unstoppable sun, and even after arriving at Qianlong Academy, he still stood out with his unparalleled talent, becoming the number one genius in Yong Kingdom. Even Yan Chuyu felt a bit more admiration for him.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad, but she also got the opportunity to go to the sacred cultivation ground from Wu Ming, and was repeatedly instructed by her maternal grandfather, Prince Anping, and her maternal grandmother, etc., so she found it difficult to be carefree when facing Wu Ming again.

Wu Ming walked towards Yan Chuyu, glanced at her, and smiled slightly at her appearance, but his expression remained unchanged as he said:
“Junior Sister Yan, the King told me that there is one spot available for a follower when going to the sacred cultivation ground. He asked if I had someone to choose from. You are the only person I know well in this Hidden Dragon Academy, so I mentioned you without asking your opinion. I feel a little offended. If you are unwilling, I will go and explain to the King right away.”

"No, there's no need..."

Upon hearing Wu Ming's words, Yan Chuyu's gaze became even more evasive. However, she was not one to be coy. After responding softly, she looked up at Wu Ming, her eyes sparkling, and said, "Being able to go to the sacred land of cultivation is the most coveted opportunity for all the younger generation in Yong Kingdom. How could I possibly refuse? I just don't know how to express my gratitude."

"There's no need for this between us. Once we get to the Great Jin, there might be many more things to trouble us with."

Wu Ming responded with a smile.

Seeing that Wu Ming's attitude was as easygoing as ever, Yan Chuyu's chaotic thoughts completely calmed down, and she nodded.

not far away,
The few prodigies participating in the Hundred Kingdoms Prodigies Battle looked at Yan Chuyu with a strange gaze. They had no impression of Yan Chuyu at all, and only just now did they learn a little about her. They all sighed at Yan Chuyu's good luck.

Being able to come from the same region as Wu Ming and form a friendship with him, and Wu Ming being able to pass the ninth level of the Hidden Dragon Tower, almost directly securing a spot to go to the cultivation holy land, I was able to follow Wu Ming to the cultivation holy land because of this relationship. Although I was just a follower and it was far inferior to the formal disciple spot obtained after the battle of geniuses, it was still extraordinary.

You should know that even for them, it is very difficult to enter a sacred place of cultivation.

The Battle of a Hundred Kingdoms' Prodigies brings together the most outstanding talents from the entire Northern Wilderness and the Hundred Kingdoms of this generation. Thousands of people compete, and it's a battle of who will be the weakest and who will be the easiest. Among all of them, only Gu Liufeng, who has passed the eighth level, has a high chance of success. As for the others, they are likely just supporting characters and will eventually return to Yong Kingdom.
