Chapter 189 The Sky Has Collapsed

In the night sky, the red sun disintegrated and exploded inch by inch, a scene that stunned everyone!

Pu Heng, Cao Qianqiu’s eldest disciple, possessed extremely profound cultivation, yet he was punched so hard that he began to explode repeatedly. Where did this formidable person come from? Everyone found it unbelievable and looked at the young man on the golden bird.

Boom! A cascade of crimson lightning intertwined, the red sun sank in the west, and then everything collapsed. “Ah…”

A suppressed roar resounded, and the shattered red sun reformed. This was the terrifying aspect of pure Yang consciousness; it was difficult to truly destroy.

Because pure Yang consciousness has either undergone tribulation or been baptized by “immortal fire,” it has already initially acquired the characteristics of immortality and indestructibility.

Why are the disciples of the Immortal Path so confident? Indeed, they become more formidable as they progress, and their cultivation speed is relatively fast, allowing them to advance rapidly for a long time.

“You don’t have your master’s life, but you’ve got his illness.”

The young man atop the golden bird spoke; his clothes were coarse linen, giving him an air of returning to simplicity. Who would dare to comment like that?

At the very least, within the territory of Feixian Academy, apart from Sun Taichu, probably no one else would dare to speak like that.

Undeniably, Cao Qianqiu’s lineage is universally disliked; even a stray dog ​​would want to pounce on them and bite them. This is even more true for ordinary people. Yet, they are ridiculously strong, and no one can do anything about them.

Over the years, Cao Qianqiu has held absolute power, suppressing extraordinary figures like Ba Wang, kicking through countless “iron plates,” and overturning many monumental figures of the older generation.

It can be said that as he carved his way through, no one could stop him.

His disciples and followers developed similar personalities as a result, wanting to emulate Cao Qianqiu in everything and taking their teacher as their highest goal.

Moreover, because they are all incredibly strong, they rarely capsize.

Only once, Cao Qianqiu’s favorite fourth disciple, who was arrogant and looked down on everyone, kicked the “Different Gold Plate” and was crushed by the equally strong-willed and bad-tempered Overlord.

The other disciples, despite their domineering personalities, have never gotten into trouble.

Objectively speaking, Pu Heng was quite hated, but he was indeed an outstanding person among his generation, which is quite frustrating.

If you include everyone else in the row, he can already sit in the front row.

Many people are saying that he has already mastered 20% of Cao Qianqiu’s skills!

“Who are you?” Pu Heng reappeared, standing in the red sun. His expression was extremely solemn, no longer as arrogant as before. “Huh?!” A few people were taken aback, because they keenly noticed that the red sun in the sky had dimmed considerably.

This is quite alarming! Clearly, Pu Heng is injured.

His already nascent immortal and indestructible pure yang consciousness was actually partially severed by the crimson glow!

Qin Ming looked at the figure in the night sky. Was that Lu Zizai, the “senior brother” of the Six Imperial Ancestral Court? Why did he feel something was different? “Get out of here!” the boy in hemp clothing said, showing no respect to Pu Heng.

Under the blazing sun, Pu Heng’s face was gloomy. Apart from his teacher, who would dare to reprimand him like this? Especially among the people on the path of new life, even the patriarchs are old and frail, with no successors. Where did this young man come from?

“You’ll die if you have a foul mouth!” the boy in hemp clothing warned.

Qingtian’s disciple laughed and said, “Pu Heng, do you really think you’re Cao Ganqiu? You have his temper, but not his skills. You’ll die a violent death sooner or later.”

No one expected that such a powerful figure would emerge from Xinsheng Road. Although his name is still unknown, judging from his demeanor, he is a super strong person who can defeat Pu Heng!

People on the Immortal Path, the Secret Path, and the Other Path had mixed feelings. This seemingly hopeless new strategy actually had someone who could raise a banner.

Many newcomers were incredibly excited. There were quite a few people here tonight, and after witnessing this scene, even some of the older folks had tears in their eyes.

They felt that this path was truly hopeless, and with the passing of several patriarchs, there was no hope left.

Because for many years no one has been able to pave the way forward.

In particular, where did their outstanding disciples, whom they themselves trained, end up? They all became guards or protectors of the Dharma outside the mountains.

Sizzle!

In the night sky, lightning flashed everywhere. Pu Heng drew a long sword engraved with phoenix patterns. Pure yang energy swept across the sky, shattering the night mist. This was an extremely terrifying treasure.

The most dazzling figure here was naturally Sun Taichu, who stood in the golden sun. He waved his hand, stopping Pu Heng from making a move.

“So it was you.”

Sun Taichu sat cross-legged on the cloud, smiled slightly, and the golden sun shone brightly in all directions, dispelling the crimson glow of Puheng and dimming the golden strange bird and the boy on its back.

Although Sun Taichu appeared very calm, he was ultimately a person from a secluded, detached world and could not bear to see Pu Heng suffer a loss.

“I never imagined you would still be alive.”

Sun Taichu smiled, radiating a brilliant golden glow that illuminated the heavens and the earth.

People saw that the golden bird trembled and became unstable in the air.

Moreover, the boy in hemp clothing on its back changed; his black hair turned white, and his body grew rapidly, becoming a giant radiating golden light.

People saw the weariness and decay in him; this was not a young man who had endured many years, and his lifespan was probably nearing its end.

“I want to live another life!” The golden giant spoke, and six kinds of light mist spread around him, becoming clouds that surrounded him.

“Six Heavenly Lights!” Some people from the Immortal Path and the Secret Sect were shocked, recognizing the substance that made up the golden giant.

Qin Ming immediately understood; this was the giant he had seen before.

While practicing the “Heluo Jing” at the Six Imperial Ancestral Temple, he experienced a “spiritual journey” in a state between sleep and wakefulness.

At that time, it appeared that Lu Zizai and the Six Imperial Ancestors were having a conversation, with a thick black fog behind them and a huge figure standing behind each of them.

Qin Ming guessed that the golden giant probably possessed the cultivation level of the young Lu Zizai from the “past”.

If that’s the case, then the fact that the giant behind the Six Imperial Ancestors he saw was stained with a lot of blood clearly indicates a problem.

Sun Taichu smiled and shook his head, saying, “Your path has reached its limit. The vast sea of ​​night mist stands in your way, blocking your way. You cannot cross it. Although you are old now, your consciousness, which is a mixture of heavenly light and earthly light, is equivalent to pure yang. Why not join my land beyond the mortal realm and take the path of immortality? You may be able to extend your life for another lifetime.”

Those from the Immortal Path, the Esoteric Sect, and other high-level alien beings were all greatly shaken. Sun Taichu appeared gentle, but the pure Yang consciousness revealed the true corrupt state of the young man in hemp clothing, and his methods were unpredictable.

Moreover, was he offering advice, or was he trying to use his invincible power to subdue a mysterious and powerful figure on the path to rebirth and persuade him to join his ranks? No matter how you look at it, Sun Taichu seemed unfathomable.

Those on the path to new life felt their hearts sink; the excitement and passion they had felt moments before quickly faded, for reality is just that cold.

“This is not my path, this is not my method, why are you attacking me?” Lu Zizai asked.

Sun Taichu smiled and said, “I see something strange about your body. There seems to be a faint connection to a distant glimmer of life. I would like to take your pulse to make a diagnosis.”

Just then, a blazing sun suddenly appeared in the distance, terrifying and horrifying. Its light, composed of incredibly intense celestial light, caused Sun Taichu’s pure Yang consciousness to tremble slightly.

Everyone was astonished. A true patriarch had arrived on the Path of Rebirth?!

Sun Taichu smiled, sat cross-legged, and the sun outside his body expanded, with golden rays dispelling the clouds in the night sky and briefly touching the boiling sunlight in the distance.

Both suns swayed slightly before settling back down.

People saw Sun Taichu as the rising sun emerging from the sea, with endless golden light, slowly rising, full of vitality.

In the distance, the blazing light of the sky, though still intense, revealed the truth: it was now shrouded in an aura of decay, accompanied by black mist.

That patriarch doesn’t have much time left; he’s probably nearing his end!

This place is quiet, but the people on each road have completely different feelings.

It can be seen that the disciples of the Immortal Path could not hide their joy. They saw an incomparably bright future. The patriarchs beyond the mortal realm were still paving the way, and the prospects were infinitely good.

Those on the path to rebirth felt as if they had fallen into ice, their hearts turning completely cold. Now everyone could see that the patriarch-level figure was nearing the end of his lifespan.

“Excellent tactic!” A voice rang out from the distant, bubbling sky.

Clearly, Sun Taichu did not confront him directly, but merely revealed the truth of his corruption, which completely swayed the emotions of many people.

The patriarch spoke: “What is the path to rebirth? At the end of decay, how can we know that it cannot be revived? The sea of ​​mist stretches ahead, who can say that the other side is not a brand new continent? Leap across, and you will be reborn. This path awaits those who come after you.”

However, these words did nothing to rouse the fighting spirit of the newcomers present. All they knew was that several patriarchs were about to die, and the young man in hemp clothing was not the new standard-bearer; his lifespan was already running out.

For those who choose this path, the sky has fallen!

Qin Ming felt heavy-hearted. Sun Taichu gently shone with golden light, and compared with Cao Ganqiu’s earth-shattering blow, its destructive power was equally enormous.

In the sky, the blazing sun and scorching heat all went out and disappeared, clearly indicating that there was no real collision.

Soon, laughter and chatter filled the Flying Immortal Academy. Immortals would soon take the stage to share their insights and experiences. Since they were all around the same age, it felt even more welcoming.

The main reason was that they once again felt the glory of this road, and they were all in a good mood.

The esoteric Buddhists remained calm because they knew that their founders and others dared to be so disrespectful to the gods, possessing the true power to look down upon the world.

Those advanced beings remained calm, for the legendary god-like creatures were their predecessors, and this path naturally had powerful beings.

Even Wu Yaozu muttered to himself, “Brother, the path to rebirth isn’t working. It seems the path to immortality is really amazing. I need to learn from it.”

His purpose in emerging from the dead end was to perfect the “Rainbow Transformation” path and draw on the strengths of various other paths.

“Please welcome Cui Chonghe!” A beautiful female disciple from Feixian Academy was appointed to oversee the following matters.

Cui Chonghe appeared, surrounded by flowing white mist and a faint celestial light. He ascended a high platform, immediately eliciting a burst of enthusiastic cheers.

As Sun Taichu’s last disciple, he naturally received a great deal of attention, becoming the focus of everyone’s gaze. “Is this the person who achieved enlightenment at the age of three? Truly extraordinary, exuding a profound immortal aura, like a young immortal descended to earth!”

“He is one of the most outstanding among our generation, one of the few who stand at the very top of the pyramid. There are not many people of his generation who can even catch a finger of his.”

Some were amazed, while others praised it highly.

Many teenagers gazed at the figure on the platform, their eyes shining with envy and longing. Some female disciples even screamed, calling out Cui Chonghe’s name.

Cui Chonghe was very easygoing, and he always had a smile on his face in front of everyone, which was quite similar to his master Sun Taichu.

When he stepped down from the platform, he almost caused a disturbance. Many people wanted to go over and talk to him, but they were quickly stopped by the experts from Feixian Academy.

“We’ll have time to exchange ideas later.”

An old man spoke up, finally calming everyone down.

Then, another immortal appeared on stage, named Sun Qixiao. He was dashing and extraordinary, but he was clearly not as popular as Cui Chonghe.

“It’s him.”

Qin Ming showed a strange expression. He had met him when he was on the Vermilion Bird spaceship, and they had even gone together to that “land” in the sky to collect various kinds of otherworldly essence.

He didn’t want to recall it anymore, because he had fallen there and his whole body had exploded.

Finally, a young girl appeared, immediately causing a great sensation. With her fair skin and ethereal beauty, she possessed unparalleled grace and was a peerless beauty, naturally extremely popular among the young men.

“She is Li Qingyue. She once single-handedly defeated the combined forces of her fellow disciples. She rose to her position entirely on her own merits and is a near-immortal seed with extremely high value!” someone said, revealing admiration.

“She truly has the looks, the talent, and the future—the celestial beauty of our dreams!” Many exclaimed, and the area was abuzz with discussion.

Li Qingyue, like a fairy flower, swayed brilliantly in the night amidst the white mist. She took to the stage amidst the attention of the crowd, where she shared her insights, her melodious voice resounding throughout the venue.

“This woman is truly outstanding, exceptionally so,” Wu Yaozu couldn’t help but say.

“Watch your words,” Qin Ming said.

Wu Zu was puzzled and said, “What’s wrong, brother? I’m telling you the truth. You had no objections when I commented on Sun Qixiao and Cui Chonghe. Why are you treating them differently?”

Qin Ming solemnly admonished, “Speaking like that is somewhat disrespectful to others. What did your grandmother tell you? To be polite and respectful.”

“Did Grandma say that?” He looked down at the sign hanging around his neck.

In the end, Qin Ming did not go to see Li Qingyue, because the area was surrounded by disciples of the Immortal Path at the exchange meeting; there were simply too many people.

Such a near-celestial being as her was naturally dazzling, attracting attention from all sides and becoming the focus of everyone’s gaze. Qin Ming, being a “nobody,” couldn’t possibly squeeze past her, and even if he could get close, he couldn’t say much. “A beauty like a flower beyond the clouds, above which lies the azure sky…” Wu Yaozu shook his head there.

“You just came out, what have you learned?” Qin Ming glanced at him. “Didn’t you tell me to read more books?” Xiao Wu retorted.

When the two returned to Shanhe Academy and walked through a grove of trees, a small golden bird on a branch released a melon seed, and a piece of paper fell down and appeared in Qin Ming’s hand.

He looked up and saw the little bird, which looked very much like the one on Lu Zizai’s shoulder, but now it was even smaller! Sensing someone approaching, the golden bird flashed and disappeared into the forest.

“Is it an illusion? I have a feeling that an unfathomable senior has flashed by here.” A purple-eyed raven flew over.

Behind it were two other people, one of whom was a tall woman wearing a cloak, her whole body shrouded in a light mist.

(There’s more to come!)
