In the pitch-black night sky, the cold wind swept up goose feather snow, densely falling, covering the entire land in ice and snow, instilling a sense of boundless desolation.

Braving the wind, snow, and cold air, Qin Ming stepped into the Outer World.

The night was thick with darkness across the wild fields, yet amid the biting cold wind and snow, there was a warm haven like spring, filled with the fragrance of flowers and birdsong, enveloped in a hazy Immortal Light.

"Brother Lu!" The Supreme Grandmaster Ling Canghai had long been waiting here in advance, greeting warmly as he approached.

Now, no matter which path, Lu Zizai was treated with great respect. In the Western Border battle, he single-handedly suppressed a realm, showcasing an unrivaled Supreme Grandmaster's dominating aura.

He even managed to kill an opponent from the Ancestor Master Realm!

Such a character will undoubtedly pave a new path in the future for the newborn road.

"Hmm?" Ling Canghai was suddenly startled. His keen senses seemed to detect that Lu Zizai had returned to a basic state, yet was more unfathomable than before.

He was truly taken aback. Could it be that the other had already broken through the realm, to be addressed as Grandmaster Lu? Once stepping into that domain, the whole world becomes accessible.

Everyone saw that Ling Canghai's attitude towards Lu Zizai became even more respectful, even wanting to show courtesy.

Lu Zizai stopped him, saying, "Such hollow titles are unnecessary, just call me Brother Lu."

Soon, others understood the situation. Lu Zizai had already stepped into the Sixth Realm, adding a new ancestor with an incredibly deep foundation to the newborn road.

Although people were shocked, they were not surprised, as this was completely reasonable. Rumors from outside long suggested that his concern wasn't breaking through the Heavenly Gate but contemplating how to expand the road in the future.

"Both of you are dragons among men!" Ling Canghai exclaimed, not overlooking Qin Ming, also giving him much attention.

Since Qin Ming stepped foot in the Pure Land, many eyes had rested upon him.

After all, even such a transcendent figure as Lu Zizai valued him greatly, personally bringing him to the Outer World, how could he be underestimated!

In fact, since the combat merits were tallied, Qin Ming's achievements were truly astonishing, making veterans of various paths feel surreal.

The number of Heavenly Demon Species he slew alone exceeded the count of two hands, leading by a wide margin!

Among the young generation of Outer World and Esoteric Buddhism, there was widespread shock at his count of beheadings.

Even some prodigious geniuses were left in a trance.

Some of the Immortal Seeds and Divine Seeds even personally sought to verify whether he had indeed slain so many Heavenly Demon Species.

After all, some exceptionally outstanding Heavenly Demon Species, with a high probability, would become Demon Ancestor-level beings in the future, and he had preemptively eliminated so many.

Now, some people called Qin Ming the "Heavenly Demon Slayer" behind his back.

He has undeniably become the representative figure of this generation on the newborn road.

Especially since news came from the Immortal Soil, stating that Qin Ming's talent on the Immortal Road equaled Jiang Ran, potentially more suited than taking the newborn road.

This indeed caused a massive sensation!

Immortal Seeds are rare, but exceptional ones like Jiang Ran are even harder to find.

Qin Ming straddling two paths, both at the pinnacle, made him seem exceptionally extraordinary.

With dual seeds, the aura surrounding him became even more dazzling.

Some even suspect that he might also have a talent on the Esoteric Buddhism path which should be tested.

At that moment, even Qin Ming was somewhat absent-minded, not expecting to ascend the Pure Land one day in such a manner.

It should be known, this was Cao Qianqiu's lair, along with such a colossal entity as the Helian Family, making it exceptionally dangerous for him.

Li Qingyue needed no further introduction, naturally present, clad in white like snow, with black hair cascading like a waterfall, smiling, waving at Qin Ming.

He responded immediately, also spotting other acquaintances, such as Wang Caiwei, who narrowly escaped disaster in the Western Battlefield and recently recovered from a prolonged illness, as well as Pei Shuyan and Tang Xumi.

To his surprise, even Luo Jingxiao had come.

Qin Ming felt that he seemed to be drifting further from Helian Zhaoyu and Wei Heng.

Being in the Fangwai Pure Land, naturally, he had to face people like Helian Zhaoyu from the Immortal Control Sect; some were undeterred, but injured and pale-faced Chen Bingyan, bearing much pressure, nonetheless greeted them outside the mountain gate.

"Please come inside." After some polite exchanges, Ling Canghai personally led the way, heading deeper into the Pure Land.

This Blessed Land was extensive, after all, with numerous Great Sects residing there.

The colors of Fire Spring here could be described as vibrant and splendid, flowing with materials imbued with the Tao Rhythm, and accompanying them were Immortal Treasures and other such things.

For instance, by an Extreme Fire Spring, a Purple Gold Vine was growing, with unripe fruits on it, surprisingly taking the forms of knives, spears, cauldrons, and swords.

Additionally, Qin Ming also spotted a Heavenly Light Pond, its surface sparkling, accompanied by mist and electric arcs, astonishingly mystical.

A whole pond full of "water" was liquid condensed from Outer Heaven Light.

Such a great undertaking could only be described as extraordinary and stunning.

Rooted within the Heavenly Light Pond was an old tree with incredibly vigorous life energy, with each branch like a coiling dragon; even on the same branch, there were leaves of five different colors.

Qin Ming immediately knew what kind of Treasure Tree this was; he had long heard its name and had even received some gifts.

It was the Five Colored Immortal Tree, and each spring, deliberately pruned "Five colored Spiritual Branches" and "Falling Fruits" were considered rare Spiritual Medicines.

All of these were its "discarded parts" in spring.

Of course, the Immortal Tree's greatest value was the "Five Colored Fruit" it bore. Once mature, the tree would shine Five Colored Divine Light, illuminating the heavens and earth.

The yield was limited, with tremendous medicinal effects, and couldn't be disseminated; only with the personal presence of an Ancestor Master could one have a chance to enjoy it.

Ling Canghai said, "Alas, it was unfortunate that after a great battle in the Western Territory, from Ancestor Master to Grandmaster, many people were heavily injured, and all the mature Divine Fruits were plucked for alchemy to heal them."

If not, upon Lu Zizai's arrival, the people of the Pure Land would certainly have plucked a Five Colored Fruit to entertain him.

This is indeed the truth; various great medicines are extremely scarce now in Ye State.

Even when Qin Ming used his combat merits to exchange for rewards, he didn't choose those spiritual medicines, as they were too expensive; renowned masters, grandmasters, etc., who were gravely injured and near death, were all queuing for the treasure medicines to be produced for treatment.

Overall, the Pure Land's foundations are exceptionally solid.

Soon, two more Great Grandmasters appeared. Originally recuperating, upon hearing of Lu Zizai's realm-breaking arrival, they immediately rushed over.

Some even wanted to invite the Ancestor Master who was in seclusion, but Lu Zizai stopped them.

He had conflicts with the direct disciples of Cao Qianqiu and Sun Taichu, the relationships were not harmonious.

The people in Pure Land also let out a sigh of relief; if they were to invite Old Cao out of retreat, they were genuinely worried that a fight might break out between the two parties, better not to create unnecessary trouble.

Among the accompanying Great Grandmasters, Helian Yunji was obviously not present; he intended to target Qin Ming at the Immortal Tomb but was pressed to bow his head by Lu Zizai.

"You young ones go gather," Ling Canghai said, evidently, those young disciples couldn't relax in the presence of these few Great Grandmasters.

Moments later, Qin Ming, accompanied by Li Qingyue, Pei Shuyan, and others, arrived at another hall.

"Qin Ming, are you really cultivating both paths?" Pei Shuyan couldn't hold back; he truly hadn't expected it. Qin Ming, who was once the second little cultivator in Kunleng, has progressed rapidly; at this rate, in a few years, he'll catch up to his Fourth Realm!

Qin Ming here tasted the "Golden Radiance" mentioned by Jiang Ran, he put down his tea cup and smiled: "I have learned a bit of everything, but surely, I'm not as specialized as those who concentrate on one path."

Pei Shuyan sighed: "You're overly modest. You've slain over ten Heavenly Demon Species; that exceeds the beheadings done by Jiang Ran, rendering some Immortal Seeds in our Pure Land silent upon hearing."

Li Qingyue smiled and said: "Brother Pei, don't overpraise. Qin Ming has come this far due to a myriad of opportunities stacked together; he still needs to settle and refine later."

She spoke as she prepared a more potent "Enlightenment Tea" of Golden Radiance for Qin Ming, knowing he would soon be viewing the True Scripture.

Pei Shuyan shook his head and said: "I didn't mean that; I'm truly amazed. Alas, junior sister, though you knew each other long ago, your bias is excessively evident..."

Helian ZhaoYu appeared, was just at the great hall's entrance, saw Li Qingyue showcasing an appealing tea art, and heard Pei Shuyan's remarks; he turned around without expression and departed immediately.

During the Western Territory war, his performance was originally immensely brilliant, but luck was not on his side; after dueling and forcefully crushing two Heavenly Demon Species, he was targeted by several old monsters, nearly getting blasted alive, narrowly escaping with severe injuries.

Qin Ming glimpsed his retreating figure but didn't bother, instead he began to inquire about Chen Bingyan's condition.

"It's not serious; a little more time and it'll be fine." She felt quite sorrowful, as Lu Zhenyi, who was closest to her, stayed in the Western Battlefield forever.

"Qin Ming." More acquaintances appeared, only Zeng Yuan with one leg left, and the tall, robust Zheng Maoze; they both entered the hall with complex expressions.

They didn't have a good relationship with Qin Ming; when he was down, they both taunted and even stepped forward to "trample" him.

However, with Qin Ming's fame growing more significant, they completely abandoned the thought of competing, recognizing the reality.

"How is your wound, have you healed?" Qin Ming inquired.

Zeng Yuan, dispirited, said: "I lost a leg, I'm half crippled, planning to exit the Pure Land soon, become a wealthy master, marry, have children, retire, and live out the rest of my ragged years."

Then, he murmured: "Sorry!"

Initially, he shared a good relationship with Qin Ming, but later he leaned towards Li Qingxu's side. As of today, he felt endless emotions, highly dispirited.

"Take care!" Qin Ming said.

Zeng Yuan was escorted out, his silhouette indescribably desolate.

Zheng Maoze remained silent; usually, he was alongside Zeng Yuan but now they were to be separated.

"Qin Ming, about the past, I'm sorry." He transmitted his voice secretly, somewhat struggling to let go of dignity.

He was overwhelmed with emotion, complex feelings stirred. Previously, he and Zeng Yuan laughed at Qin Ming's lack of qualification for the Immortal Road, not even deemed worthy to be a Golden Armor Guard in their future.

He never expected the other's Immortal Road qualifications to rival Jiang Ran's, surpassing ordinary Immortal Seeds!

He diligently cultivated but ultimately was only an elite disciple.

Zheng Maoze spoke: "Alas, among your path, there's Xiang Yiwu, known as the threshold of the Newborn Road, a form of recognition with everyone's praise. I'm also of large stature, yet considered the threshold of elite disciples for the Immortal Road."

His self-deprecating manner eased the atmosphere, making Qin Ming indeed unable to resist smiling.

Others couldn't help smiling, there truly was privately the saying of "Immortal Road's threshold."

Subsequently, Zhuo Qingming and other Immortal Seeds gradually arrived, feeling intrigued by Qin Ming, who bore dual seeds; they engaged earnestly with him.

"Which True Scripture would you like to borrow, coming to our Pure Land?" Luo Jingxiao asked.

Qin Ming replied: "The one I can view is certainly the fragmented Scripture."

Instantly, everyone showed interest, casting their gaze upon him.

Qin Ming said: "It's that fragmented Jade Book."

The scene was quiet; no one anticipated him choosing the hardest book.

Li Qingyue frowned, showing a serious expression: "That one has only a few pages but is severely damaged, called one of the three most challenging texts of the Immortal Road; historically, only one person has gained from it, deriving the 'Heart Suppressing Scripture.'

Tang Xumi also seriously reminded: "Senior Cao wished to pursue a path of Break and Establishment, even attempted comprehension recently, but ultimately returned unsuccessful, unable to understand."

Wang Caiwei genuinely advised: "You need to consider carefully; it'd be best to choose another one, or the opportunity might be wasted."

A group of Immortal Seeds agreed, as this was a fact.

Not only Cao Qianqiu, over the generations, many Ancestor Masters attempted to understand those few pages of the Heavenly Book but returned with no success.

In their view, Qin Ming seemed somewhat overly ambitious.

At this time, Helian ZhaoYu returned with Cui Chonghe and Wei Heng, appearing again; after hearing, they all faintly smiled.

"So it's called the Heavenly Book; is it truly that difficult?" Qin Ming murmured.

The weekend has arrived, tonight's chapter is updated, wishing everyone a happy holiday.
