Silver River Gorge, Qin Ming successfully broke through and reached the Nine Layers of the Heart Lamp.

During breakthroughs in minor realms, from the Third Realm to the Fourth Heaven, and from the Sixth Heaven to the Seventh Heaven, the changes are most significant, with the greatest increase in taoist progression.

Because, that transition marks the change from the Early Stage to the Mid Stage, and then to the Late Stage of Heart Lamp.

Sometimes, the breakthrough accompanies a rebirth of the body, resulting in extraordinary power augmentation.

This time, Qin Ming's breakthrough was steady and standard; not every breakthrough can lead to rebirth, even for him. Having one or two Nirvanas in a Great Realm is already fortunate.

Immortal fog wreathed around him, dining with the sunset, while the essence of the Fire Spring flowed to his mouth and nose, and the heavenly spiritual dew fell silently, merging into his body.

Qin Ming rose to his full height, bringing forth a spray of light rain. The Nine Layers of the Heart Lamp made the vitality around him thrive, just one step short of becoming a Grandmaster.

He was pure and matchless, his strength having reached a brand new peak, where every gesture carried a Tao Rhythm that followed his Qi Mechanism, resonating with the heavens and the earth, seemingly always in Unity of Heaven and Man, achieving a true harmony of form and spirit.

However, at this moment, he felt an intense heat throughout his body. This was the only side effect of the "Purple Dragon Blood," which wouldn't dissipate for a couple of days.

The silhouette of the Golden List appeared, with a faint golden radiance swirling. It said, "Go and support Chan Palace Crossing. The descendants of the Lord of Yujing can die in battle, but they must never be humiliated."

Qin Ming listened and understood some of the circumstances over there, then soared into the sky, riding fierce gusts of wind to journey afar.

The distance between the two places was not very far, and soon he reached the destination, descending slowly from the night sky, clad in red armor.

"Hmm?" Bai Meng was instantly alerted.

Tang Yushang had already raised her head, locking onto the figure in the night sky.

"Who are you..." Bai Meng's pupils suddenly shrank, recognizing that this was... the Sect Realm? When sparring with the younger generation of the Totem Camp, this person had appeared, but did not make a move.

Is this the strong support the Golden List spoke of? Tang Yushang greeted him politely.

Qin Ming smiled modestly and nodded to her.

His white teeth and the heat radiating from his body made Tang Yushang frown. Could he not conceal his Qi Mechanism?

Bai Meng was also speechless. The scorching heat expanding from the Sect Realm truly was full of masculinity, much like the Qi Mechanism that male creatures emit when spring arrives.

This is the side effect of the Purple Dragon Blood, temporarily unabated.

As such, the cleanliness-fixated Tang Yushang did not want to breathe here, feeling this person was too wanton.

Her domain unfolded, bearing no difference from a Grandmaster Level. Every chain of bloodline was cut, and her taoist progression temporarily increased intensely.

This was the "gift" of her supreme ancestors, but often it also restrained her descendants.

Tang Yushang expressed dissatisfaction; this man was too reckless, too promiscuous, she almost pinched her nose shut.

However, Qin Ming descended lightly without being obstructed by her domain, as if wielding an invisible giant axe or resembling Sword Evil, slicing through the Void. His feet landed on the ground.

"It's... you?" Tang Yushang's eyes widened, sensing the Resonance of the Nine-colored Sword Qi and the Heaven-opening Axe Light.

She'd had some inklings before, but dared not confirm them, only guessing that Qin Ming was the "One Sword." Now she realized he indeed had another identity.

"Who?" Bai Meng was bewildered.

Tang Yushang, in shock, inadvertently took a deep breath, and immediately began coughing dryly, glaring at the "fiery" figure ahead with wide, beautiful eyes.

She stepped back, covering her mouth, and asked, "Should I address you as One Sword, or..."

"What?!" Bai Meng was thunderstruck, initially completely dazed, with shock on his face. He now realized, the Sect Realm was actually Brother Ming? A trinity, this was practically a myth.

He had once entertained such thoughts, but ultimately dismissed them as "wild imagination" until today when they were confirmed. His gaze completely changed.

"Just call me Sect Realm." Qin Ming once again smiled modestly.

Bai Meng's eyes were fixed, unable to return to his senses for a long time.

Tang Yushang was indignant, recalling the times she "weakly" cried, and seeing how "pretentious" he was now, wished to beat him up.

Her whole body glowed, refusing to believe she was not his match today.

Momentarily, her domain materialized, covering Qin Ming, with tangible Tao Rhythm aimed to confine him there.

Tang Yushang couldn't hold back, wanting to "weigh" him within controlled limits.

Qin Ming walked toward her straightforwardly, though as if trapped in a quagmire, he steadily advanced step by step.

Tang Yushang's green hair fluttered, surrounded by resplendent light rain, as she continued to exert pressure.

Clad in Black Gold Armor, her exposed smooth shoulders and slender legs were pristine, glowing white as if illuminated.

The domain she projected seemed to twist the entire night sky.

Nonetheless, Qin Ming, though slow in pace, firmly and powerfully approached, eventually standing beside her, gently patting her shoulder.

Qin Ming laughed, "Brother Tang, you're drifting, have you forgotten the past pain?"

The Black Gold Armor on Tang Yushang, with its already shattered pauldrons, shattered further upon a light press, falling to the ground.

Unavoidably, Qin Ming touched her velvety white shoulder, combined with those words, and the intense and fervent aura, making Tang Yushang feel teased.

But she was distinctly aware, even now her strength was still inferior to this "arch-rival."

She retreated indignantly, her face slightly flushed, never imagining that the strong support mentioned by the Golden List would be him.

"Brother Ming, truly a Divine human!" Bai Meng finally came to his senses, deeply in awe, bowing five bodies to the ground. To think Qin Ming, Sect Realm, and One Sword, renowned worldwide, were all the same person!

Qin Ming's teeth gleamed as true as Tang Yushang's skin, his smile exuded great amiability, "Once again, I am Sect Realm."

"I understand!" Bai Meng nodded immediately, filled with great excitement inside.

Qin Ming found a large rock to sit on, inquiring them for details.

He nodded, saying, "The Lightning Beast of the Seven Heroes of the Heavenly Clan, and the Divine Eye King from the Six Kings of the Abyss, are most likely to attack? No matter; I just broke out of seclusion and am eager to test my sword."
