Open up and break into another world

In the early morning, the Barren Mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist.

Standing at the peak, the inner disciples looked down, as if they were in the heavens.

“At the Mind Enlightenment Tower?” Xu Ming transmitted his voice softly.

“Yes!” Gu Hanmo quickly replied, “Cultivating in the Heaven-Grade Mind Enlightenment Chamber is indeed a hundred times more efficient! Before the coming-of-age ceremony, I should be able to reach the late stage of the Acquired Realm! Plus, with the pills you gave me, my realm is advancing by leaps and bounds!”

The Heaven-Grade Mind Enlightenment Chamber was only qualified for the “First Disciple” of the annual sect competition!

Moreover, the “First Disciple” was usually a Half-Step Core Formation expert. Even if they entered the Heaven-Grade Mind Enlightenment Chamber, the effect would be average due to their high cultivation level. Gu Hanmo, with her cultivation level, was enjoying such top-notch treatment, so how could her cultivation not be fast?

Xu Ming joked, “Maybe you’ll be able to win the First Disciple title in next year’s sect competition!”

Xu Ming’s words were not without basis.

In terms of cultivation, Gu Hanmo was soaking in the Heaven-Grade Mind Enlightenment Chamber every day. After soaking for half a year, she would probably be able to reach the limit of the Acquired Realm. By then, after consuming the True Martial Realm-Breaking Pill, she could directly step into the Half-Step Core Formation!

In terms of realm, with the Soul-Nourishing Pill, the Enlightenment Pill, and the Five Elements Cleansing Pill, the three miraculous medicines were complete, and they could definitely send Gu Hanmo to the “Domain” Realm.

Moreover, by next year, old disciples such as Lin Xuan and Ye Qianliu would be too old to be “disciples” and could no longer participate in the sect competition. Just imagine, who would be Gu Hanmo’s opponent then?

Furthermore, Gu Hanmo was still very young! If she deliberately suppressed her cultivation and did not break through to the Core Formation Realm, she could even occupy the position of “First Disciple” for ten years!

“By the way, I’m going down the mountain,” Xu Ming said.

“Going down the mountain?” Gu Hanmo was puzzled. If Xu Ming was only going down the mountain for a few days, there was probably no need to send a message to herself. “Will you be gone for a long time?”

“Half a month, maybe! Anyway, I’ll definitely be back before your coming-of-age ceremony!”

“It’s good that you know what you’re doing, but don’t take any risks.”

From beginning to end, Gu Hanmo didn’t ask what Xu Ming was going to do.

However, Xu Ming took the initiative to say, “I’m going to do something big, hehe… As for what big thing, you’ll know soon!”

“You’re even keeping me in suspense!” Gu Hanmo said coquettishly, “Alright, be careful yourself!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll keep in touch with you at any time!”

Hearing Xu Ming say this, Gu Hanmo felt much more relieved.

However, Gu Hanmo was also strange—the distance of the communication talisman was limited. Since Xu Ming said that he would keep in touch with her at any time, he was probably active in the Barren Mountain area. But, why would Xu Ming go out for half a month in such a close place? He could come back day and night!

After hanging up the communication with Gu Hanmo, Xu Ming went to register for his departure.

Sect disciples who go out for more than ten days must register, mainly for safety considerations. If a disciple who goes out does not return after the registered time has passed, the sect will probably send someone to investigate.

After registering, Xu Ming took advantage of the few people in the early morning and swaggered down the Ten Thousand Steps Stone Stairway.

You must know that every time Xu Ming passed the Ten Thousand Steps Stone Stairway, it was like a rat crossing the street. If he was not careful, he would be besieged by nymphomaniac girls. Only now in the early morning, the nymphomaniac girls were too late to get up because they had YYed about him too late last night, so Xu Ming could swagger out.

…

Not long after Xu Ming left, Grand Elder Liang Weihe received a tip.

“Xu Ming registered to go out? And he swaggered out?” Liang Weihe was very strange—is this kid stupid? Doesn’t he know that we will assassinate him? Or does he have enough confidence that he is not afraid of our assassination?

“Humph!” Liang Weihe sneered, “Why do most peerless geniuses die young, and only a few can truly grow up? It’s because many geniuses are confident to the point of arrogance!—Xu Ming certainly knows that we want to assassinate him. Since this is the case, he dares to swagger out, then he has enough confidence!”

What Liang Weihe liked most was this kind of genius who was confident to the point of arrogance.

“Dad!” Liang Hui said, “The opportunity is rare. Since he is seeking death himself, then I will fulfill him!”

“Yes!” Liang Weihe nodded in a deep voice, “Xu Ming’s strength is beyond our expectations. Anyone below the Core Formation Realm is probably no threat to him!”

“I’ll go myself!” Liang Hui said.

“Since you’re going to make a move, you must succeed in one blow!”

Liang Hui set off in a hurry.

When passing by the registration office: “Elder Liang, this main letter talisman can sense the location of Xu Ming’s secondary letter talisman!”

“Yes!” Liang Hui took the square letter talisman.

Disciples who register to go out will carry a secondary letter talisman with them; holding the main letter talisman can sense the location of the secondary letter talisman.

Of course, the secondary letter talisman cannot sense the main letter talisman in reverse. This is also because some disciples may have sect masters deliberately hiding behind them to observe and protect them when they are training outside.

“Humph! He’s running quite fast!” Liang Hui sensed Xu Ming’s location and hurriedly chased after him.

Half an hour later…

“Very good, he’s already out of the Barren Mountain area! This way, it will be convenient for me to attack!”

After a while…

“Huh, why isn’t he moving?” Liang Hui thought for a while, “Maybe he thought he was safe after running so far, so he stopped to rest! Humph, it’s really not easy for him, a Half-Step Core Formation expert, to run so fast!”

Liang Hui quietly followed the location of the secondary letter talisman and searched for it.

However, when he walked to the vicinity, Liang Hui couldn’t help but feel suspicious: “Huh? The location sensed by the letter talisman is in this dilapidated outhouse?”

Liang Hui thought for a while: “Could it be that he ate something bad before going out, and now he stopped to relieve himself?”

“Heh heh heh!” A sinister smile appeared on Liang Hui’s face, “A person relieving himself has the lowest combat power! If I suddenly rush in, I can scare him so much that he pees his pants, and killing him will be effortless!”

Liang Hui quietly took out his short sword and tiptoed towards the outhouse.

In order not to be noticed by Xu Ming, Liang Hui didn’t even use his mental power to sense the situation inside the outhouse. Because, once he used his mental power, Xu Ming would definitely notice it immediately.

“Humph! A lion uses all its strength to catch a rabbit!” Liang Hui was very satisfied with his caution, “My strength is a notch stronger than him, and I’m attacking with a premeditated plan, he’s dead!”

When approaching the outhouse.

“Damn! It stinks!” Liang Hui couldn’t help but frown.

But the opportunity to kill Xu Ming was right in front of him, so how could he care about the stench at this time?

Finally close to the outhouse door.

Boom!!!

Liang Hui suddenly broke out!

Bang!

He kicked the outhouse door to pieces with one kick, and his short sword was in an attacking position: “Xu Ming, prepare to die!!!”
