Chapter 668: Chapter 527: The People’s Choice

Months later.

After the demonic path’s massive offensive on the Southern Wilderness failed, not only did they not retreat, but they intensified their attacks, gathering a large number of demonic cultivator cannon fodder from several other major cultivation realms to frequently harass the cultivation cities of the Four Nations.

And there was no sign of them stopping.

During this time, the cultivators of the Four Nations Alliance were all on edge, not daring to relax for a moment.

Qin Ming estimated that the convergence of the two realms was about to end. By the time the void rift portals closed, the demonic path of the Blood Realm would make one last effort in this final opportunity to maximize their benefits.

Meanwhile.

The crucial information about Primordial Extreme Mountain that Qin Ming obtained from Hundred-Eyed Daoist also spread to various cultivation realms.

On this day.

Qin Ming was tending to spirit plants on Wangyue Island when the Heaven-Devouring Rat emerged from seclusion. This creature, having devoured two Nascent Soul cultivators, produced two clumps of Profound Crystal, enough to activate the Nine Heavens Cyan Yuan Marvelous Response True Talisman several times.

Little Silver Fox was also helping plant new herbs. Her talent in spirit plants was much higher than that of the Heaven-Devouring Rat.

Now she could independently cultivate Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Plants. With her watching over Qin Ming’s herbs, he didn’t have to worry about any issues with the spirit field when in seclusion.

And his Lifebound Spirit Plant, the Immortal Vine, after absorbing substantial Essence of Wood and Nascent Soul Blood Pearls.

A silver spirit-patterned flower bud emerged between the pitch-black vines.

Three golden entries quickly appeared in Qin Ming’s sight:

[Name]: Immortal Vine [Entry]: Nascent Soul Dharma Power x5 (maturity 1%)

[Name]: Immortal Vine [Entry]: Nascent Soul Soul Power x5 (maturity 1%)

[Name]: Immortal Vine [Entry]: Abundant Lifespan x5 (maturity 1%)

"It actually refreshed to show the soul power entry. It seems my divine soul strength can increase once more." Qin Ming looked at the entries on the tree, revealing a satisfied smile.

Now his divine thought strength was just one step away from reaching Nascent Soul Perfection.

The current situation was not favorable for the Human Realm. The only path was to intensify the cultivation, generate more entries to enhance one’s power, and better cope with the chaos.

After tending to the spirit plants inside and out, Qin Ming was about to drink a cup of spirit tea brewed by Little Silver Fox.

As he took the cup, his eyebrows furrowed, and he showed a thoughtful expression.

"Elder Qin, what’s the matter? Is it that I didn’t handle the heat well?" Little Silver Fox asked him, seeing his expression.

Qin Ming smiled and patted her head, "No, it’s just that there is an envoy from the East Sea Cultivation Realm visiting. Go and welcome them in."

"Yes!" Little Silver Fox smiled widely upon hearing this and went out to greet the guests obediently.

Half a cup of tea later.

A thousand-feet Celestial Patrol Battleship of the Celestial Sea Alliance from the East Sea Cultivation Realm appeared over the Spirit Nest Islands.

Immediately, an escape light flew forth from it, welcomed by Little Silver Fox into the main peak, Cyan Wood Pavilion.

A spirited elder, with a smile, stepped into the grand hall and greeted Qin Ming, seated at the head, with a cupped fist salute, saying, "Oh, Fellow Daoist Qin, long time no see! Your cultivation has become unfathomable, truly commendable!"

"You defeated three Demon Monarchs by yourself. Now, Fellow Daoist Qin’s renown is spreading like wildfire throughout the cultivation realm!"

The visitor was none other than Duke Xia Yuan, the City Lord of Celestial Wave Immortal City.

"Fellow Daoist Xia, you flatter me. Please, have a seat." Qin Ming also stood to greet him and invited him to the seat, pouring a cup of spirit tea afterward.

In fact, Qin Ming had somewhat guessed the visitor’s intention.

"Why didn’t Master Longyang come with Fellow Daoist Xia? Could it be..."

"Alas, Master Longyang went into Primordial Extreme Mountain with Alliance Leader Canghe and hasn’t returned yet..."

After some small talk, Duke Xia Yuan didn’t hide the purpose anymore and stated it directly. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Since Fellow Daoist Qin transmitted back important information about Primordial Extreme Mountain from the demonic path, our alliance has decided to collaborate with several major cultivation realms to formulate a grand plan in response to this crisis."

"Since Alliance Leader Canghe is absent, a new alliance leader will be elected at the conference to lead the Human Realm out of this predicament..."

"The conference location is set at Celestial Wave Immortal City in the East Sea. I have already picked up other Nascent Soul fellow daoists, and considering the urgency of the situation, how about Fellow Daoist Qin boards the ship with us now?"

Qin Ming pondered for a moment. This decisive battle between the Righteous and Demonic Dao was inevitable, so he nodded and agreed.

"In that case, I shall make the journey."

Seeing Qin Ming agree, Duke Xia Yuan’s face lit up with joy. Having such a powerful cultivator as Qin Ming on board was naturally welcomed.

Immediately, Qin Ming instructed Mo Lingwei and Hua Tianxiong to maintain the home, while he, along with the Heaven-Devouring Rat, Little Silver Fox, the Profound Water Crocodile, and the Silver-winged Frost Bee, boarded the Celestial Patrol Battleship of the Celestial Sea Alliance with Duke Xia Yuan.

The interior space of the battleship was extremely vast, even equipped with a dedicated conference hall, which was quaint and solemn.

By the time Qin Ming entered the hall, more than ten fellow Nascent Soul stage cultivators were already waiting, most of them at the early stage of Nascent Soul.

Su Yuqing, Yue Lingyan, Kong Xuan, and others were present.

Upon seeing Qin Ming enter with Duke Xia Yuan, all of them rose, greeting warmly.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Qin!"

"I’ve long heard of True Monarch Wangyue’s great name!"

"I have met Fellow Daoist Qin!"

Currently, Qin Ming’s terrifying reputation in the demonic path of the Blood Realm was well known. Since the descent realm invasion, the Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs who attacked Wangyue Island were vanquished one after another...

In the cultivation realm, strength is revered, and the strong are respected everywhere they go.
