I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

The Holy Land of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Wu Ming landed quietly without disturbing anyone and stepped into his cave.

His contact with the Flame King brought him many benefits, including the Heavenly Fire Wine brewed by the Flame King, and the insights he gained from the Flame King regarding the condensation of the origin during their discussion.

The transition from laws to origins represents a qualitative leap, and it is also an extremely important hurdle for immortal beings.

Taking this step requires not only mastering the third step of the law, but also fully comprehending this law. After that, one must rely on the power of the fully comprehended law to gradually collect this power from the world, slowly refine it with the power of immortality, and finally comprehend the essence of the world's operation in order to truly condense a wisp of origin.

Condensing the essence is the key to ascending to the King Realm!
This was also the last target Wu Ming faced before the catastrophe arrived.

"I gained a lot from discussing the Dao with the Flame King. Previously, my understanding of the origin was limited to the surface of various inheritances, but with the Flame King, I truly experienced the mystery of the origin and a glimpse of the essence of how the world works."

"And this Heavenly Fire Wine..."

Wu Ming took out the jar of wine given to him by the Flame King, a glint of light in his eyes.

Relying on this Heavenly Fire Wine, he was able to take a giant leap forward from the initial stage of immortality in just a few hundred years.

Now, with a great calamity looming, he has no time to rest and enjoy himself. Having just entered the Immortal realm, he must immediately devote himself to the cultivation of breaking through to the King realm. However, he is not troubled. Having reached his level, his Dao heart is already unshakable.

Wu Ming estimated that once the news of his entry into the Immortal Realm and his close connection with the Cataclysm spread among the Immortal Kings, other Immortal Kings would soon come knocking on his door. Perhaps these Immortal Kings would not harbor any ill will towards him in the face of the Cataclysm, but he would still need to remain vigilant and further improve his strength.

If he could reach the peak of the initial stage of immortality, he would most likely be able to fully control the Demon Subduing Diagram. At that time, even if he encountered any unexpected situations, he would be able to remain more composed.

Now,

Wu Ming then began his seclusion in his cave.

……

at the same time.

Inside the main hall atop Qingming Peak, the Peak Master, who was in meditation, received a summons from Daoist Yuanzhen.

"Master?"

The Azure Nether Peak Master opened his eyes, revealing a look of surprise, followed by delight.

She didn't know why Daoist Yuanzhen wanted to see her, but she hadn't been summoned by this immortal master for a long time. Now that she was not far from the next calamity, perhaps she could get some guidance from Daoist Yuanzhen when she was summoned.

Immediately,

Without hesitation, the Qingming Peak Master immediately followed the summons of Daoist Yuanzhen, riding his escape light straight into the sky, until he arrived at a height of tens of thousands of feet above the Holy Land. There, he found a grand hall floating in the fierce winds of the Nine Heavens, and then stepped inside.

Upon entering the hall, she saw that majestic figure standing tall, exuding an ancient and timeless aura.

"Greetings, Master."

The Peak Master of Qingming Peak looked at him with respect and immediately bowed in greeting.

At this moment, Daoist Yuanzhen stood with her hands behind her back, looking down at the sacred land. She had already sensed Wu Ming's return and extended an invitation to him, but Wu Ming declined temporarily, saying that he had just broken through his cultivation level and needed to go into seclusion to consolidate it.

She wasn't surprised by this. Although Wu Ming displayed great power in the void and killed an immortal with a single blow using a supreme treasure, he had only just entered the immortal realm and needed to go into seclusion to consolidate his power.

Now she wants to meet Wu Ming not only for the inheritance of the Black Emperor, but also to discuss the Dao with Wu Ming, and in addition, she wants to know what relationship Wu Ming has with the Flame King.

Judging from Wu Ming's rise to power, he should have no connection with Yan Wang. However, after Wu Ming killed an immortal with a single sword strike in the void, Yan Wang appeared and invited Wu Ming away as if they were old acquaintances. Wu Ming did not refuse and eventually returned safely, which surprised her greatly.

It wasn't just her. All the immortals in the Great Jin Holy Land were curious about Wu Ming, but for the time being, they all suppressed their curiosity and entrusted the matter of inviting Wu Ming to meet with her.

After all, she was Wu Ming's grandmaster in terms of seniority, and had a closer relationship with him. After she invited Wu Ming to meet her, she would naturally know some of Wu Ming's attitudes and some information about him.

Wu Ming chose to go into seclusion to consolidate his cultivation level and declined the invitation.

"Qingming, you did a great job."

Daoist Yuanzhen withdrew his gaze, looked at the disciple in front of him, and spoke softly, beginning with a word of praise.

Hearing Yuanzhen Daoist's praise, Qingming was immediately delighted and said, "This disciple has devoted himself to cultivation without any slackening. Now I am confident that I can overcome the next tribulation. As for the third step of the Thunder Law... I have also glimpsed a trace of its mystery."

After listening to the words of the Qingming Peak Master, Daoist Yuanzhen took a closer look at her, but shook her head slightly at her achievements in cultivation. In her eyes, these achievements were not worth mentioning at all. At the very least, one should truly comprehend the third step of the law and have the opportunity to overcome the seventh or even the eighth tribulation of decline before one could be considered remarkable.

“I praise you not because of your spiritual achievements, but because of the teachings of your lineage.”

"It was Yuanzhen Daoist who spoke."

Upon hearing this, the Qingming Peak Master was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized and said, "My disciple, Master has already met him? His talent is unparalleled in my life. I have only provided him with some guidance. With his abilities, he may have a good chance of overcoming his tribulation and ascending to immortality in the future."

Daoist Yuanzhen shook his head, a hint of sigh in his voice, "It's not that it's not small... it's that it's already accomplished."

"It's already done?"

The Qingming Peak Master was immediately taken aback.

For a moment, I couldn't quite understand what Daoist Yuanzhen meant.

According to Daoist Yuanzhen, has Wu Ming already attained immortality? But Wu Ming is only a little over a thousand years old, so he should have only survived his first tribulation.

Looking at his disciple, Daoist Yuanzhen sighed that although the Qingming Peak Master's talent was not particularly high, he had actually taught Wu Ming as a disciple. He then briefly recounted Wu Ming's story.

Listening to Yuanzhen Daoist's narration, the Qingming Peak Master was stunned for a moment, almost unable to believe his ears.

She knew that Wu Ming was exceptionally talented and believed that he had a good chance of breaking through the tribulation of decline and attaining immortality, but she never expected that he could suddenly attain immortality in such a stunning way.

He deliberately drew upon the tribulations, breaking through nine tribulations in succession...

Throughout history, among all the immortals who have emerged, there are probably very few who have achieved this level!
"You have rendered meritorious service in educating others, and as your teacher, I will naturally reward you handsomely."

After standing there for a long time, Yuanzhen Daoist finally broke the silence with a wave of her hand. A golden bracelet appeared in her palm, with faint, fine lightning crackling on it.

"This is the 'Innate Golden Thunder Bracelet,' a treasure I refined, containing the profound principles of the laws of thunder. I bestow it upon you."

As the golden bracelet flew toward him, the Qingming Peak Master finally snapped out of his daze and caught it. He was shocked by Wu Ming's deeds and overjoyed.

Leaving aside the immense opportunity that Wu Ming's attainment of immortality would be for her, the 'Innate Golden Thunder Bracelet' bestowed upon her by Daoist Yuanzhen alone is an opportunity she could never have imagined before!

Don't say it was her.

Even among those Dao Saints at the peak of the Eight Tribulations who roam the world, very few can possess a supreme treasure.

A treasure that suits her perfectly will not only greatly increase her strength, enabling her to fight against experts at the sixth or even seventh tribulation, but she will also gain insights from this treasure, giving her a greater chance to comprehend the third step of the law!

To be able to wield a supreme treasure was something unthinkable in the past, but now it has actually happened, and it is only natural that it has happened, after all, her master is immortal, and her disciple is also immortal!
Looking back, when Wu Ming first arrived, choosing him as her disciple was truly the most important decision of her life. Although at the time she considered it a casual decision, fate often works in this way; a single chance encounter can determine the future. (End of Chapter)
