Night Without End-Chapter 885 - 436: The Unsolvable Old Senior Qin Ming (Part 2)

Even an old man rumored to be an Earth Immortal clasped his fists in respect and nodded slightly towards him.

People couldn’t discern his depths and all believed he was a reclusive old senior who emerged during these extraordinary times.

Some even suspected he might be a decayed Heavenly Immortal personally visiting this place.

Qin Ming’s every move was in the spotlight, wherever he went, everyone treated him with the utmost respect.

"Taoist friend, why leave in such a hurry?" the Bodhi Saint spoke up, this time naturally using the term ’Taoist friend,’ no longer seeing him as a junior.

Qin Ming understood his intention - he wanted to ascend the platform to challenge and point his sword to the First.

This Bodhi Saint’s origin was mysterious and he was indeed very strong; Qin Ming was somewhat curious about his identity, but he didn’t wish to linger. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Currently, he became the focus of attention, but he didn’t want to be scrutinized or examined like this, as he was no old senior, silence was golden.

"Taoist friend, upon emerging this time, my time is tight, let me go ahead to pave the way for you," Qin Ming clasped his hand in respect, no longer displaying youthful air, but returning to the demeanor of an "old senior."

An elder by the side sighed, "This is the senior sage; achieving the top rank, yet remaining so calm and undisturbed by honor and disgrace, how many can have such a harmonious state of mind?"

For a time, many praised, believing that the state of mind of the old senior Taiyi had transcended to a height they needed to look up to.

Qin Ming noticed that among those who showed great respect towards him were some he did not favor, like the Old Grandmaster of the Cui Family and the Immortal Path Grandmaster Su Yuxiao.

Forget it, he was now a respected and highly regarded old senior, so for the time being, he wouldn’t bother with these juniors.

He walked towards the town’s outskirts, many followed along with him towards the next city.

Meanwhile, behind them, the bustling atmosphere in Immortal Town remained lively as many looked towards the highest Sword Fighting Platform.

Among them, the Heavenly Elder who had refined his body to the Extreme Realm seemed quite eager, and the Bodhi Saint couldn’t suppress his urge, both intending to ascend the platform.

Above the Nine Heavens, the vast sea of Night Fog, few dared tread into those desolate regions, as the toxic fire from Outer Heaven, wind tribulations, and others were terrifyingly dreadful.

The journey went smoothly for Qin Ming.

The old senior Taiyi reached the city corresponding to the Second Realm, not large, merely a small town; its damaged city walls bore mottled traces of time.

"Has the senior Taiyi arrived? Could it be that he also intends to ascend to the top here?"

Along the way, many looked on, and quite a few welcomed enthusiastically, escorting the scarecrow Qin Ming into the Divine City as if he were the stars encircling the moon.

"Is that... could it be him?"

Inside the city, a few people were stupefied, looking at the somewhat familiar scarecrow but not daring to approach or acknowledge.

They had once taken a wooden boat to ascend to the heavens with Qin Ming; some were rather opportunistic, seeing that he couldn’t Divine Travel for long and needed a Borrowing Body, they did not pay much attention to him.

"Definitely not him, there are plenty of scarecrows in various cities, how could the senior Taiyi at least be an unmatched expert, possibly be that Little Cultivator."

"Yes, their aura is completely different, did you sense it? This senior exudes authority without anger, with a stance like a Heavenly God gazing down on all below."

They dispelled their doubts, realizing the two had entirely different Qi Mechanisms.

"He is Taiyi, I am not ashamed of my defeat. Unexpectedly, the top-ranked old senior once challenged me, haha, even though edged out of the new list, I am satisfied!"

"No way, brother, you actually dueled the senior Taiyi on the Sword Fighting Platform? You can brag about that for a lifetime!"

The person involved was initially dejected, but now his face lit up with joy, acquiring remarkable conversational cachet as a result.

After Qin Ming arrived, he spotted acquaintances in the crowd, including Helian ZhaoYu, while Little Tathagata was suspicious, eyeing him repeatedly.

"Could it be the Ancestor Master personally arriving?" Little Tathagata had serious doubts, speculating that Pu Gong’s old ancestor rode a dragon to reach here.

Everyone was spreading the word that Taiyi was also an Immortal Body Refiner, traveling even further in the field than the Heavenly Elder, seemingly with the momentum of being the first in Body Refinement.

However, Little Tathagata felt that whether it was Immortal Body Refiners or those ancient Power Warriors, none could compare to the creator of Chaos Force, that living Saint.

His eyes grew ever more fervent, increasingly feeling that it was truly possible that their branch’s old ancestor personally arrived!

"In a while, I will return to Immortal Town and ascend that Sword Fighting Platform to take a look!" He intended to personally experience how strong that slash from Taiyi was.

Helian ZhaoYu looked at Qin Ming with a frenzied admiration, considering him the aspiration to look up to; he wasn’t part of the Sect Realm, he pursued peak power in the same realm.

To him, with unchanged root bone and talent, certain realms could eventually be broken through, so pursuing extreme strength in various fields was undoubtedly the most suitable choice.

Qin Ming walked straight to the area where the Sword Fighting Platform was located, looking up to view the glowing new list in the night sky, where rankings differed significantly from the First Realm.

On the radiant new list, Guang Han ranked fourth, the Heavenly Elder sixth, while The Immortal of Colossal Spirit had vanished.

"Is the disparity so vast?" Qin Ming was astonished; aside from two familiar names in the top ten, everyone else had been replaced, all rather unfamiliar.

Someone seemed to notice his confusion, saying, "Some haven’t necessarily fallen off the list, but changed names, not wanting scrutiny and being disturbed."

For instance, many speculated that the third-ranked "Beast" was actually The Immortal of Colossal Spirit, despite having changed appearance and temperament, in a bloody fight, its essence was hard to change.

Qin Ming nodded, "I see, his rank has dropped to third place."
