Night Without End-Chapter 804 - 409: Eight Saints Coming to the World
The Artifact Spirit had initially acknowledged Qin Ming, believing he possessed extraordinary talent. Even in an ancient civilization without interruptions, he would have been considered an excellent seedling.
However, it found this young man of the later generations too casual, too indifferent when confronted with it, lacking a bit of discipline.
The Artifact Spirit decided to raise the difficulty level, to properly educate Qin Ming, showing him how terrifying true geniuses were during the height of prehistoric great powers.
"You have accumulated quite a bit of Heavenly Light within you; it seems to have some similarities with the body refining paths of ancient Immortals. So, I will start from this aspect," the Artifact Spirit said rather reservedly.
In fact, it was somewhat impatient, deciding to attack Qin Ming in the field he was most adept at, to extinguish his arrogant confidence.
Qin Ming said, "My system speaks of the process of the body’s continuous rebirth. Perhaps even the methods we practice are inspired by the prehistoric Immortal civilization’s Great Nirvana."
The Artifact Spirit said, "Hmm, then try this segment of the spell, using Heavenly Light to connect Heaven and Earth, to fish for substances beyond the sky."
Jiang Ran stood with distinction, her black hair fluttering in the night wind, her spirit vibrant, watching all this with a faint smile, calmly.
Qin Ming listened carefully, and then his body emitted many "threads," some like strands of silk threading gold, some rippling like the evening glow, and some hanging like Purple Qi from the Nine Heavens...
Outside his body, the Heavenly Light transformed, as thin as silk, spreading into the void, capturing the Spiritual Material drifting in the night fog.
Soon, at the end of every thread, there appeared a glowing small lake, as if breaking through some barrier, accelerating the absorption of Spiritual Material.
"This ancient method of yours... it’s alright, but I think there’s room for improvement," Qin Ming said, as Heavenly Light shot out from his body, expanding in the night sky.
Thicker threads spread, as if stirring this part of the night sky, his flesh and blood like a vortex of Spiritual Material, devouring crazily.
The Artifact Spirit was silent for a moment; it had just proposed a method, and this young man not only applied it smoothly without any hesitation but also optimized and supplemented it on the spot?
Qin Ming said, "It’s not that I created the method on the fly; there are scriptures from later generations to refer to. I’m just standing on the shoulders of predecessors, making some changes."
Observing his carefree demeanor, unconcerned, the Artifact Spirit was very upset; it wanted to restrain the young man, but in the end, he remained composed, speaking eloquently, with a faint sense of detachment.
Qin Ming asked, "Wasn’t the ancient Cultivation civilization already interrupted before your era?"
The Artifact Spirit, upon hearing this, was genuinely unable to tolerate it; it felt mocked and underestimated.
Even though it knew this kid was trying to "take advantage," if it didn’t give him a profound lesson, it could hardly quell the frustration in its heart.
The Artifact Spirit said solemnly, "Come, take another move from me!"
Jiang Ran, with her porcelain-like skin, was wholly absorbed in the Immortal Light, smiling with pursed lips. The old Artifact Spirit was actually provoked to take it seriously, forced to "offer knowledge" while holding its nose.
Qin Ming, indifferent, said, "This time, don’t fool me with fragmented methods after the civilization’s interruption. It’s really no challenge at all."
The Artifact Spirit said, "If you can master this secret, you might barely approach the threshold of an ancient prodigy."
Qin Ming shook his head, sat down casually on a bluestone, even more relaxed, "Can you get it right the first time? Find a method with more difficulty."
The Artifact Spirit thought that if it couldn’t stump this kid today, it would be disgracing ancient civilization, it had to suppress this arrogant youth!
However, it couldn’t possibly leak the Sect Absolute Skill.
With such an attitude, wanting to fleece it? No way!
Actually, it’s mainly restricted by the Dao oath; it cannot pass on the Supreme Scripture.
It decided to find a scripture that had once circulated widely in the world, not bound by the Dao oath, yet extremely obscure and hard to understand.
Quickly, the Artifact Spirit had a target script, "Come, look at these three pictures first, as an appetizer. If you can master them, we’ll talk about other things!"
Qin Ming became serious, appearing deep in thought, earnestly scrutinizing the three diagrams.
He had practiced this before, it was the outline of the Life Changing Scripture.
The Artifact Spirit was finally satisfied, having stumped the youth in front of it this time; he didn’t comprehend it instantly.
The Life Changing Scripture was very important to Qin Ming; it could modify his root bone, enhance his talent, and even extend his life. Most importantly, it could help him fine-tune the operation route of the Silk Scripture skill.
Moreover, this scripture had subsequent Chapters, but they were quite fragmented. It was known that there was a page on Pu Gong’s side, which Qin Ming had already obtained at a recent exchange meeting.
Qin Ming sat quietly, not rushing to showcase results; he understood that the Life Changing Scripture was indeed very difficult; instant comprehension might alert the enemy.
He frowned deeply, as time passed, sometimes joyful, sometimes worried, practicing the scripture within a particular timeframe.
The Artifact Spirit felt "comforted," finally subduing this conceited boy, thinking that this was the appearance a glorious civilization should have, one scripture suppressing later generations!
Moreover, this script, even if leaked, was nothing much; in its era, many households had its records.
The Life Changing Scripture was extremely profound, yet quite "superfluous." In the olden days, it was considered an "auxiliary scripture," best practiced with other True Scriptures of the Sect.
The most crucial point was that it was very challenging to achieve; throughout history, those who truly mastered it were either madmen or flawed martial enthusiasts.
Who among normal people would exhaust their minds practicing it? With that time, it’s better to glean insights from a Supreme Scripture, yielding better results! 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Time flew by; Qin Ming had been sitting quietly for quite a while.
The Artifact Spirit, with an easy-going and relaxed demeanor, said, "How is it? Can’t fathom it, can you? If not, let’s end it."
"Hmm, almost there, just give me a bit more time," Qin Ming promised, and half a two hours later, he connected the three diagrams and demonstrated them on the spot.
