One possessed a Grade Earth Spirit Root, the other a primordial spiritual body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At barely fifteen, they had already reached Qi Refining Mid-Stage, a starting point most ordinary cultivators could never reach in a lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Wu family on the island dropped their tasks and rushed out to greet them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jiang and his wife were overjoyed; after years apart, Mu Ruyin, unable to contain her longing, embraced them both, ecstatic beyond words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What followed was a warm, tender scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough! Enough, enough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s enough. Let Wangfeng and Wangyue meet Qin Dao you first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be rude!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As head of the family, Wu Jiang, though thrilled, had grown considerably more composed over the years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his children’s cultivation had advanced, and that they were healthy and unharmed, he was already deeply satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, Wu Wangfeng and Wu Wangyue, gazing at the island’s surroundings, were left stunned, unable to recover their composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grade Three spiritual vein. Grade Three island-protection array.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And the mist illusion as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, Mother—is this really the same Wangyue Island we grew up on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wangfeng and Wu Wangyue exchanged glances; even this environment surpassed the cultivation conditions they had at Lei Yuanzong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course. The island has changed a great deal these past years—there’s too much to explain all at once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you meet Uncle Qin, behave properly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wangfeng and Wu Wangyue nodded obediently; though they had trained elsewhere, their upbringing had always been excellent, and they understood propriety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a cup of tea later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming stood waiting outside the spirit fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle Qin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle Qin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Qin Ming, Wu Wangfeng and Wu Wangyue immediately bowed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as they began to kneel, an invisible force lifted them, preventing them from completing the bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe! It’s been many years—you’ve both grown so much. No need for such formalities,” Qin Ming said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, with demons and beasts rampant outside, how did you two return?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wangyue replied sweetly, “Hehe! Uncle Qin, we came with the sect’s vessel bound for Canghai Xiancheng.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The elders ordered the ship to take a detour and dropped us off near Wangyue Lake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did Wu Jiang and his wife realize: two Qi Refining Mid-Stage cultivators wandering alone outside would be no match for demons—even with such talent, they’d be snacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qin Ming’s thoughts ran differently—he knew the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Yuanzong would not normally dispatch large vessels to Canghai Xiancheng unless something was amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It seems that after receiving my two Soul-Returning Pills, Lei Yuanzong is finally moving.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Likely, the three factions have already begun covert preparations to strike at the demonic plants on Qianye Island.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming pondered this, secretly assessing their cultivation. He found their foundations solid, their qi stable—clearly under the careful tutelage of Lei Yuanzong elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they were cultivating the sect’s highest-tier, non-transmissible cultivation arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent. Excellent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming praised them both, then, not wishing to disrupt the family reunion, dismissed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wangfeng and Wu Wangyue felt no resentment that Qin Ming had never taken them as disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years, as prodigies of Lei Yuanzong, they had heard many legends about Qin Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their Master had said that even Lei Yuanzong elders treated Grade Two Superior Alchemists and Spirit Plant Masters with respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Uncle Qin refused them because their talent still fell far short of his standards…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wu family was immersed in joyful reunion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qin Ming sensed a great storm was about to descend upon the spiritual energy Archipelago. Wu Wangfeng and Wu Wangyue stayed on the island for several days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had spent enough time with their family and were preparing to bid farewell to Qin Ming, heading to Canghai Xiancheng to rejoin Lei Yuanzong’s vessel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM! CRACK! A violent explosion erupted from beyond Wangyue Lake, shaking the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s happening?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just Wu Wangfeng and Wu Wangyue—the entire Wu family stood speechless, stunned by the sudden commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A streak of emerald light flashed past, shooting from the main peak’s cave dwelling, hovering midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming had sensed the disturbance immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Less than half a year has passed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have the three super factions already begun their assault on Qianye Island’s demonic plants?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Lei Yuanzong, Lingyu Men, and Canghai Xiancheng win, it’s fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if that Grade Three Blood Curse Demon Vine wins, swallows the Golden Core elder’s essence—its power could surge to unimaginable heights.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then the entire spiritual energy Archipelago will be slaughtered—even a Grade Three array may not hold it back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No good. If things turn dire, I must be ready to flee at once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In mere breaths, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming decided to go out and observe the battle from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current cultivation, nothing below Golden Core could threaten him—he could defend himself easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming landed among the spirit fields and issued a command to his life-plant, Changsheng Teng. Instantly, the towering vine dissolved into a pool of black mist, swirling and coiling around his arm, transforming back into its familiar black spirit-plant tattoo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other spirit plants didn’t matter—they could be replanted. But this life-plant, tied to his quest for immortality, must never be lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wu Dao you, I’m going out to see what’s happening.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The island is safe. Under no circumstances should you leave unless absolutely necessary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming quickly instructed Wu Jiang, then summoned Silverwing Frost Bees and Xuan Shui Crocodile. Before leaving, he asked Wu Wangfeng and Wu Wangyue: “When you left, didn’t Lei Yuanzong’s elders give you any instructions?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle Qin, our Master only told us to return to Canghai Xiancheng immediately after visiting home. He didn’t say anything else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming listened, thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It seems Lei Yuanzong has raised secrecy to the highest level.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘After all, this concerns the sect’s survival.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I wonder how Wei Wuya’s breakthrough is going.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, before the eyes of all, Qin Ming transformed into an emerald streak of light and vanished into the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside Wangyue Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming mounted the Silverwing Frost Bees and raced toward Qianye Island at top speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual sense now extended nearly eighteen li—he could observe the situation from the periphery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything looked wrong, he’d flee immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching the airspace above the spiritual energy Archipelago, Qin Ming was stunned by the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was utterly obscured by massive warships belonging to Lei Yuanzong, Lingyu Men, and Canghai Xiancheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely glancing, he estimated at least four to five hundred vessels—all heavily armed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combined fleet of the Seventy-Two Island Alliance had been large, but compared to this, it was insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirit cannons on the super factions’ warships spat terrifying energy, unleashing devastating spells that rained down on the beast hordes below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a perfect chance to collect Blood Pearls!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That Grade Three Demon Vine hasn’t shown itself yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming watched countless demonic beasts’ corpses explode into bloody mist under the spells, his mind already turning to opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vast waves of beasts surged endlessly toward the skyships, impossible to kill off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A far greater explosion shook heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming looked toward the sound and saw the eastern side of Qianye Spirit Island—spiritual energy surged wildly, blinding spells flared, and a colossal fireball erupted skyward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a miniature sun capable of destroying the world, it rose slowly over the island. The shockwave, even from afar, sent a soul-deep tremor through Qin Ming, a Grade Foundation Establishment cultivator.
