It’s coming from the Five Elements Mountains—could a treasure be emerging?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a celestial omen—this must be an ancient ruin surfacing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My heavens! What kind of spiritual plant is this? It’s piercing the sky!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be the fourth-rank spiritual vein beneath Shendao Mountain and Lihuo Palace?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder the Five Elements Mountain market has been so crowded lately—everyone’s come for the opportunity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brothers, what are you waiting for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a divine omen descending from heaven must herald a great opportunity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big sects get the meat—we’ve got to at least sip the broth!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You speak truly, brother. I’m at the fourth level of Qi Refining and skilled in lock-picking—is there anyone willing to form a team and head there together?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the entire cultivation world erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news that a sky-piercing treasure tree had appeared in the Five Elements Mountains of Jinan was like a hurricane sweeping across the cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost everyone knew of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, such a massive disturbance could not be hidden by Shendao Mountain or the demonic sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Five Elements Mountains’ spiritual fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming had just finished harvesting the spiritual rice and looked up to see this sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the earth trembled and the sky shook, the spiritual farmers in the fields, having never witnessed such a cataclysmic spectacle, wore expressions of sheer terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming gazed upward at the Seven Wondrous Treasure Tree in the sky, seeing the seven treasure blossoms fully in bloom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t expect it to come so soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lan also stared at the colossal tree, its seven-colored aurora blotting out the heavens, utterly entranced by its awe-inspiring splendor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snapped out of it, trembling, and asked Qin Ming: “Master Lu, what rank of spiritual plant is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the Seven Wondrous Treasure Tree. Supposedly a top-tier fourth-rank spiritual plant, but judging by its current state, it may be more than that,” Qin Ming mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? How could such a divine tree emerge here?” Li Lan, upon hearing this, was stunned once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what should we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming turned to him and said: “I’ve already arranged a magic ship. Return to Lingxu Market and evacuate everyone immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The teleportation array in Five Elements Mountain Market is certainly unusable now—you must take the magic ship to Zhongzhou.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When such a relic surfaces, even if it holds a heaven-defying opportunity, it’s beyond our reach. Don’t even think of anything else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! I humbly follow the manager’s orders!” Li Lan bowed deeply, then obeyed Qin Ming’s instructions, gathering his team of spiritual farmers and beginning immediate evacuation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming glanced at the fertile spiritual fields and murmured: “I should leave too—I hope the merchant ship bound for the Southern Wastelands still departs on schedule.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had also entrusted Hua Tianxiong with handling the transfer of these two hundred mu of spiritual fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming turned his thoughts, then dismantled the protective array surrounding the fields and departed as a streak of green light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heading toward Lingxu Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the Five Elements Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people of Shendao Mountain, Yinmo Sect, and Xuelian Demon Gate, along with Daheitian Beast Saint, had never anticipated that the Seven Wondrous Treasure Tree’s bloom would trigger such a celestial phenomenon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had directly exposed the secret of the ancient Qingyuan Sect’s hidden realm to the entire cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ensuing struggle for control was now unavoidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wangu Shangren’s gaze was dark and sharp; his lips twitched beneath his hawk-like nose as he rasped: “What do you all think? The situation has changed—those old fools from the Weidao Alliance will surely arrive too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what if they do? Let them fight if they want. Right now, I care only about this: the Seven Wondrous Treasure Tree has bloomed—why hasn’t the Qingyuan Sect’s hidden realm opened yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker was a gaunt, gray-robed elder, his eyes dull, radiating an icy chill that sent shivers down the spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was one of the two Nascent Soul demons of Yinmo Sect: Xuan Yin Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Lan Bing, the Holy Maiden of Xuelian Demon Gate, standing beside him, coldly said: “The ritual requires more blood and soul essence from cultivators—still insufficient for the blossoms to fully open.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiejiejie! Leave this to me—I love hearing the screams of human cultivators as they die.” Daheitian Beast Saint’s black feathered robe stirred without wind as he grinned, fangs bared in bloodlust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a moment, I’ll go fetch some. This will also discourage those lurking shadows from trying to steal a share.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Daheitian Beast Saint turned into a shadow and vanished beneath the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark underground world fell silent once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Lingxu Market, chaos had erupted into a frenzy—utter pandemonium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some cultivators, blinded by greed at the sight of the phenomenon, rushed headlong outward, flying recklessly toward the Seven Wondrous Treasure Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many others held back, merely watching for entertainment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some with clear heads, sensing danger, immediately activated their escape protocols, fleeing as fast as they could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming was among those fleeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing Li Lan and the others off, Qin Ming followed Han Yuan’s earlier guidance to the port where large merchant ships were docked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After asking around, he arrived at the location of the Jintian Trading House’s “Tianlan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, despite the chaos outside, the magic ship bound for the Southern Wastelands was still departing on schedule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming immediately exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the Jintian Trading House, a long line of cultivators had already formed, beginning to verify identities and board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The docking port was heavily guarded by Weidao Alliance cultivators and patrolled by Jintian’s own, with extreme vigilance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming assumed the guise of Master Lu and joined the rear of the queue, waiting to board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a day later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thousands of cultivators boarded, it was finally his turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming handed his travel token to the patrol guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After passing through the detection array and token verification, the guard captain returned the token to Qin Ming and was about to let him board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mocking voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Isn’t this Master Lu from Jingxue Pavilion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you have your own merchant ship? Why are you boarding ours?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hua Yuan, whom Qin Ming had met at the Su family, sneered at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming cursed inwardly—he hadn’t expected to run into this man again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it not been for the need to conceal his identity, he would have crushed him on the spot and fed him to Lei Yuanmo’s thunder melon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Lu Hua Yuan cowered before Hua Tianxiong, he paid little heed to a minor outsider. “You’re not boarding. Even with a Weidao Alliance-issued travel token, it’s useless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I run this ship. I suspect you have ulterior motives—possibly spying on commercial secrets. Denied.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hua Yuan grinned coldly at Qin Ming, as if reclaiming the face he’d lost at the Su residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming’s gaze turned icy as he prepared to cast an illusion technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly—zip! His expression changed drastically—his spiritual sense had sensed something dire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above, a massive shadow swept past; the air trembled violently, and from the warped space emerged a man clad in black feathers, hovering in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A violent, chilling demonic aura swept unchecked across the market, its overwhelming spiritual pressure leaving every cultivator in Lingxu Market stunned, as if plunged into an icy tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-feathered man held a blood-stained sail, drenched in slaughter, clearly having just killed many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So many lowly blood meals! You’ll do fine as numbers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casually slapped his hand—sky and earth darkened, winds churned, and countless black storm winds surged toward the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the merchant ship, Lu Hua Yuan, who had just been boasting to Qin Ming, was brushed by the black wind—and instantly exploded into a mist of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single casual move, the black-feathered man caused rivers of blood and countless deaths—even the Golden Core cultivators in the market had no power to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the entire market became a hell on earth; the blood and souls of countless cultivators turned into threads of crimson, sucked into the black-feathered man’s blood sail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aaaah! Help! It’s a Nascent Soul demon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Run for your lives!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming’s eyes narrowed sharply—he recognized the killer at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Daheitian Beast Saint!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d shared a drink with this man in the Five Elements Mountain Market. These low-rank cultivators stood no chance against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with countless escape lights streaking across the sky, not a single fly could escape beneath his vast demonic spiritual sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single sweep of his aura, the cultivators below couldn’t even scream—they turned into clumps of blood mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Qin Ming fully understood what it meant: beneath Nascent Soul, all are ants. Daheitian Beast Saint’s demonic aura surged as he swept toward the thousand-zhang merchant ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! The Jintian Trading House’s “Tianlan” was seized by an invisible hand and instantly shattered into dust in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators already aboard died instantly, their blood and souls harvested without mercy by Daheitian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators in the market fell like wheat before the scythe, one row after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Qin Ming no longer concealed his cultivation—he transformed into a streak of green light and fled into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t sure whether the Great Black Heaven Demon Saint had brought any other accomplices for this blood sacrifice of the marketplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If another Nascent Soul-level old devil showed up, even Qin Ming’s cultivation base would find it hard to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhh! Qin Ming immediately activated the Glass Jewel Robe, covering his entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black storm winds striking him produced no great effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So there are still ants capable of withstanding my strike.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Black Heaven Demon Saint’s tiny, emerald-green pupils contracted, and his demonic sense swept toward Qin Ming’s location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a strange expression appeared on his face:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Interesting—you’re an old acquaintance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu Dao friend, don't leave yet—I still owe you a drink. Hehehe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Gao Jie Jin Dan who could deceive me before—let me crack open your skull and see what secrets you hide.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Black Heaven let out a cold, sinister laugh; most of the living beings in Lingxu Marketplace had already been sealed inside his blood sail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure flickered, the surrounding spiritual energy erupted, wrapping him as he vanished instantly, chasing after Qin Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming did not head toward the Five Elements Mountain Marketplace—under the attack of a fourth-rank demon saint, even more cultivators would die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reversed direction and flew recklessly toward the Beast Roar Mountains—the direction of Muxia Mountain, the fox clan’s sacred ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Black Heaven was a Riftwind Vulture, naturally possessing extraordinary speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had originally thought catching that human boy would be effortless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what followed left the Great Black Heaven Demon Saint stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming’s body erupted in a crimson glow that enveloped him, then instantly teleported thousands of li away—something unheard of and unseen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Black Heaven Demon Saint’s eyes darkened; his hands transformed into a pair of jet-black feathers, each dozens of zhang wide, blotting out the sky as he unleashed his fastest speed to pursue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming felt himself locked in place; despite repeatedly activating his Blood Dash technique, the black-feathered man never lost pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For days, the man and the beast chased each other through the Beast Roar Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Qin Ming confirmed the Great Black Heaven had no other Gao Jie allies—only he himself—he finally exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was merely a fourth-rank demon saint, even if Qin Ming couldn’t defeat him, self-preservation was still more than sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Muxia Mountain drew near, Qin Ming immediately sent a long-distance transmission talisman to Yue Lingyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, the Great Black Heaven Demon Saint sensed something amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—why is this brat heading straight for Yin Yue’s territory?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Black Heaven’s thoughts raced; he finally sensed something wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a defeated subordinate of Yin Yue, the Silver Moon Fox—last time she came to retaliate, he nearly died in her hands, and he still feared her deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Black Heaven never expected a mere human Jin Dan to slip away like an eel, escaping him repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he let the boy reach Yin Yue’s territory, he could no longer pursue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing this, the Great Black Heaven’s emerald-green eyes flickered. “You’re the first human to force me to reveal my true form!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Rolling demonic energy erupted from the black-feathered cultivator, instantly transforming him into a colossal black avian demon, two hundred zhang tall, its jet-black wings spreading and warping the nearby space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between its wings, a peculiar wind-element energy continuously coalesced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiuuuu! The Riftwind Vulture revealed its true form and launched its full-speed pursuit—just one wingbeat carried it thousands of li ahead, faster than Qin Ming’s Blood Dash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if teleporting through empty space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few seconds, it overtook Qin Ming, blocking his path; its black wings unleashed divine winds capable of severing the soul, and its talons—equivalent to top-tier magical treasures—lunged toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming frowned; he no longer hesitated, unleashing all his blood and true divine wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar! A crimson, eight-armed demonic ape phantom emerged from Qin Ming’s body, towering over three hundred zhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing his body refinement, the true divine wind manifestation Qin Ming summoned was even larger than that of the Great Black Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crackling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the crimson ape appeared, its eight arms swung, fingers clenched into fists, leaping upward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slammed a punch straight down at the charging Great Black Heaven—Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two colossal beasts collided violently; heaven and earth shattered, black lightning flashed, and nearby forests turned to dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact sent shockwaves through Qin Ming’s body; his chest felt as if struck by a giant hammer, and he was blasted ten thousand zhang away before crashing to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Black Heaven, in his black vulture form, was also hurled ten thousand zhang away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He halted abruptly at a distance, his expression not angry—but stunned, astonished.
