Han Yun did not stay any longer and flew away. The surrounding legacy disciples naturally dispersed. However, when they left, they bowed and took their leave to show their respect for Qi Ming.

From this, it was obvious.

Qi Ming’s status in the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain was already rising.

Although it was not shown completely, it was obvious from the actions of these legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain that Qi Ming was now a true personal disciple of Patriarch Heaven Secrets.

In the past, Qi Ming’s strength was insufficient. Coupled with the decline of the Heaven Secrets lineage, only Qi Ming was left. He was naturally looked down upon by the various lineages of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain.

They even came to provoke him many times.

Now, Qi Ming had proven his strength through several battles. Although his cultivation level was only at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, his combat strength far exceeded the Nascent Soul realm. Even the late-stage Soul Formation realm was not his match.

Strength represented status.

The strong were respected.

This was the Mystic World.

This was the iron rule of the cultivation world.

Daoist Purple Firmament looked deeply at the Heaven Secrets Manor and then looked up at the top of the Fangzhang Immortal Mountain. However, he quickly retracted his gaze, “Could it be that the Heaven Secrets lineage is about to rise again?”

“They’re still far from it.”

Patriarch Wuyan said, “It’s not enough to rely on Qi Ming alone. Unless Patriarch Heaven Secrets completely recovers and prepares to rebuild the Heaven Secrets lineage, it’s almost impossible for them to rise in a short period of time.”

“That’s right.”

Patriarch Wei He also said, “You should know that any lineage of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain does not only rely on their personal strength. Instead, they rely on the combined efforts of the elders, disciples, and Peak Masters of the various factions.”

Daoist Purple Firmament nodded, “That’s true.”

The three Grand Elders left.

From the beginning to the end, they only watched from the side and never really appeared.

In the Heaven Secrets Manor.

“Young… Young Master.”

Su Qimen’s face was filled with shock and worship, “You… you’re really too strong, too powerful. You actually defeated a late-stage Soul Formation realm opponent with only a late-stage Nascent Soul realm cultivation. This subordinate has never heard of such strength and talent. Young Master, you’re the number one person in the world.”

“Bootlicker.” Shangguan Wenge appeared and said disdainfully.

“Old thing.” Su Qimen swept his gaze across, “Are you itching for a beating again? I’m talking to the Young Master, who are you to interrupt? Figure out your identity. You’re only an old servant.”

“Old loach, did I give you face?” Shangguan Wenge glared, “You, a Manor Spirit who doesn’t even have the concept of life, dare to say this to me? I think you don’t want to exist anymore.”

“Hehe…”

Su Qimen sneered in disdain.

“Shut up.” Qi Ming said in a low voice.

“Yes.”

Su Qimen and Shangguan Wenge bowed at the same time.

“All of you can go.”

Qi Ming waved his hand.

Su Qimen and Shangguan Wenge turned around and left the main courtyard.

“Continue cultivating.”

Qi Ming sat cross-legged. With another thought, he charged a large number of spirit stones and began to cultivate the Three Pure Dao Scripture and other divine powers.

In the blink of an eye, a month later.

Noon.

Ding!

“You have been AFK Farming the game dungeon of the Shu Mountain Sword Immortal Palace for a day and cleared the game dungeon once. You have received: Inheritance Crystal—Shu Mountain’s Taiji Sword Scripture. One million top-grade spirit stones.”

A notification appeared.

This was already the 30th time that Qi Ming had cleared the Shu Mountain Sword Immortal Palace this month. He had obtained many good things, but he had not obtained mystic technique divine powers like the Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques and the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture.

It was already not bad.

Qi Ming opened his inventory. There were a large number of items inside. It was a dazzling lineup and was a little overwhelming because there were really many.

Item: Inheritance Crystal—Shu Mountain’s Taiji Sword Scripture.

Introduction: An inheritance crystal produced by the game dungeon Shu Mountain Sword Immortal Palace. It is suitable for a spirit pet that has cultivated the Taiji Sword Dao. It can increase the growth and potential of a spirit pet.

“Not bad.”

Qi Ming checked the information of this legacy crystal. This was clearly an inheritance crystal that was suitable for Huo Changqing. Qi Ming did not hesitate and immediately called Huo Changqing out.

Swish!

A white light flashed in front of him.

“Master.”

Huo Changqing had already appeared.

Qi Ming took out the Inheritance Crystal—Shu Mountain’s Taiji Sword Scripture. This Inheritance Crystal was in the shape of a jade book and handed it to Huo Changqing.

“Begin the fusion.” Qi Ming said.

Huo Changqing looked a little excited, “Yes, Master.”

The fusion began.

The jade book in Huo Changqing’s hand automatically flipped its pages, and black and white streams of light appeared. They transformed into the appearance of a taiji diagram that enveloped Huo Changqing’s entire body.

A mysterious energy surged into Huo Changqing’s body.

“Come back.”

Swish!

Huo Changqing was taken into Qi Ming’s second spirit pet slot.

“I’ll charge 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones.” Qi Ming said.

Ding!

“Charging successful.”

“Elite Spirit Pet: Shu Mountain’s Taiji Sword Saint is growing under the enhancement of a million times… He is fusing with the Inheritance Crystal—Shu Mountain’s Taiji Sword Scripture…”

A notification appeared.

“Not bad.” Qi Ming nodded and closed the notification.

A day later.

Ding!

“The elite spirit pet: Shu Mountain’s Taiji Sword Saint has grown for a day under the enhancement of a million times. He has already perfectly fused with the Inheritance Crystal—Shu Mountain’s Taiji Sword Scripture. He has further increased his growth and potential. He has increased his original foundation and grasped the power of the Taiji Sword Dao, Dawn, Dusk, and Yin-Yang Heavenly Dao. He can at most reach the late-stage Soul Formation realm.”

A notification appeared.

Qi Ming checked Huo Changqing’s basic information again.

After Huo Changqing fused with the Inheritance Crystal—Shu Mountain’s Taiji Sword Scripture, he had not reached the level of a rare spirit pet. It could be seen that a rare spirit pet was not ordinary and could not be reached so easily.

Huo Changqing’s growth potential and talent had still increased. He could continue to grow to the late-stage Soul Formation realm.

“Then continue to grow in the spirit pet slot.” Qi Ming said.

Immediately after, he charged another 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

Three days later, Qi Ming was already prepared to head to the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven.

“Young Master, you…”

Su Qimen was still a little worried, “Are you really planning to go to the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven? It’s been tens of thousands of years inside. I don’t know what it’s like anymore.”

“I think that Young Master should increase your cultivation level again and wait until you’re strong enough.”

“No need.” Qi Ming said, “It’s enough now.”

“This…”

Su Qimen pondered for a moment, “Alright, since it’s Young Master’s instructions, I naturally have to listen. I’ll open the entrance to the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven for you.”

“Young Master, please follow me.”

Qi Ming followed.

The two of them arrived in the courtyard.

“Mystic Gate, open.”

Su Qimen stood in front and waved his hands. Runes appeared and fluttered like butterflies. They gathered in front of him, and waves appeared in the space before gradually turning into a vortex.

In the blink of an eye, the entrance to the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven had already appeared.

It was an oval black vortex about three meters in diameter.

“Young Master.”

After opening the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven, he stood at the side and reported to Qi Ming, “The entrance to the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven has been opened. You can enter and leave at any time.”

Qi Ming nodded.

“You old loach. You didn’t even tell me that you had opened the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven. Hurry up and tell me. Are you hiding something from me? Or are you planning to do something bad?”

Shangguan Wenge ran over and pointed at Su Qimen as he scolded.

“Shut up.” Su Qimen glared at Shangguan Wenge again.

“Hehe.”

Shangguan Wenge crossed his arms in front of his chest and said smugly, “What’s wrong? Is it because I was right that you became angry?”

“Young Master.”

“Just in case, please let me accompany you to the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven.”

“Old thing, I think you want to enter the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven yourself.”

Su Qimen shouted, “Why do you want to enter the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven so badly? Do you have any backup plans in this place? Hurry up and tell me the truth.”

“Bullshit.” Shangguan Wenge shouted.

“I think you’re up to no good.” Su Qimen retorted.

“Stop arguing.”

Qi Ming raised his hand to stop them, “I’ll go take a look alone this time. Stay here and guard. No one is allowed to approach or enter the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven.”

“Did you hear that?” Qi Ming said in a low voice.

“Alright, got it.” Shangguan Wenge said.

“Yes, Young Master.” Su Qimen bowed.

Qi Ming nodded and walked into the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven.

His figure disappeared into the oval black vortex.

“Will Young Master gain anything?” Su Qimen said.

“How would I know?”

Shangguan Wenge shrugged. “I originally wanted to go in with Young Master. Perhaps I could help him and leave a good impression in front of him. In the end, it was all ruined by you.”

“Hehe.”

Su Qimen chuckled, “Would you be so kind? I don’t believe you. Are you plotting something again? I’m sorry, but with me watching, you can forget about it.”

“The Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven is the first grotto-heaven among the nine grotto-heavens.”

Shangguan Wenge said, “It’s been tens of thousands of years. There are probably already Dao Integration realm living beings inside. If Qi Ming enters like this and accidentally exposes his identity or is discovered by the old monsters in the grotto-heaven, he’ll probably be in quite a lot of trouble.”

“Normally speaking, you have to at least reach the Soul Formation realm to enter the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven. Why are you opening it for him now? Do you want him to die inside?”

“Nonsense.” Su Qimen said coldly, “Young Master is powerful and has deep fortune. No one can compare to him. With his ability, he will definitely be able to completely subdue the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven after entering this time.”

“I don’t believe you.” Shangguan Wenge said, “You want to murder Young Master.”

“Old thing, do you want to fight?” Su Qimen shouted.

“Can you defeat me?” Shangguan Wenge sneered disdainfully.

“I’ll deal with you like eating and drinking.” Su Qimen said.

…

Qi Ming had already entered the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven world. The scene changed and he arrived at a wilderness suburb of the grotto-heaven. After looking around, he saw his surroundings clearly. It was a relatively flat wilderness. Not far away, there was a village in the southeast, and there was a town further northwest.

There were humans living in the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven.

Qi Ming pondered for a moment. “I’ll find a place to stay first.. Then, I’ll use the two mystic techniques, Heavenly Observation and Future Sight, to deduce the history and future of the Mystic Gate Grotto.”
