Chapter 1465: Chapter 605: Great Pioneers
In the pitch-black sky, terrifying fierce gusts of wind surged, capable of extinguishing Pure Yang Consciousness. Qin Ming and the Chairman were unaffected, standing side by side, their clothes fluttering like a pair of Banished Immortals.
Qin Ming turned his head, looking at her glowing white face, then at the slender hand holding his, warm and crystal clear, even more delicate than Warm Jade.
The Chairman’s posture was upright and graceful, absolutely independent, her flawless face had a kind of transcendent advanced beauty, ethereal and immaculate, untouched by worldly smoke and fire.
Clearly, she had no worldly desires at this moment; instead, there was a sense of indifference, sanctity, resembling a Heavenly Immortal walking through the silent ages; the flourishing world, the brilliance of all races, could not captivate her eyes.
She stood still in the night sky, even the fierce gusts of wind became gentle, the black clouds gradually illuminated, infused with a layer of sacred radiance, seemingly purified.
Qin Ming looked at her profile, feeling a sense of delight. She was originally a great figure from eight thousand years ago, attended top-tier events back then, surrounded by various forces in the center. She should have fallen in the tide of time, yet she reappeared in this era, resurrected.
The Chairman spoke: "I understand your intention, now borrowing your Longevity Qi for use."
She candidly admitted feeling some peculiar sensation towards this Earth Realm.
Many mysterious organizations have their unique methods for seeking ancient strongest figures.
Some observe the trends of Dragon Veins, sorting out Earth Qi veins for clues; some extract traces from ancient documents from countless old papers, finally pinpointing.
The Chairman’s method was simple and direct, sensing through the Golden Silk Jade Robe and Ten Thousand Acupoints Enlightenment Technique.
Not all resting places of the strong necessarily relate to Ancestor Dragon Cave or Mountain and River Secret Points; they might be indescribable places, beyond common sense.
But no matter how grand the tomb, it is certainly suited for nurturing the body.
What kind of person is the Chairman? A strong figure from ancient resurgence, most sensitive to this.
The cultivation technique she practiced was created for longevity; even when buried beneath the silent earth, some instinct could guide divine materials to regulate herself.
Qin Ming’s Golden Silk Jade Robe goes without saying; even rumored not to be a cultivation technique for the living, inherently holding the meaning of resurrection.
Thus, the Chairman borrowed his "Longevity Qi," coupled with being in a state of Ten Thousand Acupoints Enlightenment, making their sensing of the entire mountain and river all the more clear.
"It can be used this way?" Qin Ming was surprised.
Suddenly, he felt like a professional in uncovering ancient truths.
Instantly, titles like great historical researcher, a pioneer in rescuing ancient cultural heritage, a guide exploring secrets of magnificent eras flooded his mind, involuntarily straightening his back.
Qin Ming and the Chairman flew side by side, traversing thousands of mountains and rivers, overlooking the vast earth.
Under the night, this Earth Realm was not lacking in vegetation, yet exuded an indescribable chilling desolation.
Grassy wild hills were covered with dense wild grass, towering stone mountains rising as fierce jagged beast bones, protruding into the night sky, a massive lake silent and still, its surface dark without a ripple.
Though it was midsummer, the old vines climbing the rock walls had yellowing leaves; with a sweep of the night wind, they fell rustling, carrying the melancholy of autumn.
Additionally, cold crows fluttered their wings through the night sky, their "ah ah" cries mournful like sobbing, giving the Earth Realm an increasingly hostile and barren feeling.
The Chairman always felt something strange about this desolate place, but couldn’t immediately capture what was amiss.
Throughout, Qin Ming occasionally observed her.
The Chairman’s surrounding spiritual presence was denser than before, her eyes at times clear as water, at times as deep as the night sky.
Qin Ming evaluated, if they were to face off again, how long would it take to defeat the Chairman? Why did it feel as though the pressure had suddenly increased?
Her Taoist practice had not increased, yet there was a natural grace and Taoism inherent in her every move. If she used her techniques again, their power would be incomparable to before.
Qin Ming’s heart thudded, he doubted, if this continued, was he witnessing a girl coming into her own?
Or would it turn around, eventually looking forward to youth standing out in future generations?
"Luckily, looking back at recent years, my breakthrough speed is fast enough!" In this regard, Qin Ming was quite confident.
The Chairman, normally wrapped within broken cloth, not for restoring Taoist practice, but to pressure herself, obtaining all spiritual memories.
She yearns for true awakening, not merely physical resurgence.
What she hopes is complete revival.
If only the body is alive, this life’s severance of the past means the last era of hers is as good as dead.
That’s not what she wants, she pursues the true essence of longevity.
The Chairman said: "The mountain trends are conforming to rules."
Neither Qin Ming’s Golden Silk Jade Robe nor the vitality within her acupoints showed obvious changes.
Qin Ming said: "This mountain lacks spiritual beauty."
He and the Chairman traversed the night sky, overlooking this land, found no place nurturing dragons or accumulating spirit, the earth veins were dormant, in general, quite barren.
The Chairman said: "The mountain is too strictly correct."
Qin Ming asked: "Do you think there’s a problem?"
The Chairman nodded, said: "What is seen is mostly barren mountains and water; too uniformly consistent."
Qin Ming was startled, said: "Could it be, the entire mountain was artificially altered?"
The Chairman’s eyes intertwined with dazzling symbols, opened her mysterious Heavenly Eye, said: "Hard to say, need to look more closely."
Qin Ming found her very attentive to this matter.
Could it be she sensed, had been to this Earth Realm during her lifetime?
Qin Ming barely mentioned, the Chairman wanted to thoroughly explore this desolate place.
