As for the other factions, they unwillingly congratulated Ouyang Qingxiang.
After that, the Dragon Mountain announced that they would hold a conferring ceremony for Ouyang Qingxiang.
As for Supremacy Dong and the others, they had already left with the Supremacy Saint.
The conferring ceremony lasted for three days before it ended.
After this incident, Lu Ming's reputation reached its peak, even overshadowing the Zongzi and Ouyang Qingxiang.
Everyone knew that Lu Ming's talent was too high. Even if he wasn't a Zongzi, he would definitely be the true overlord of the Kongxuan School in the future.
Even if Ouyang Qingxiang really became the Sect Master, her influence wouldn't be higher than Lu Ming's.
Therefore, in the following days, a large number of people began to seek refuge with Lu Ming's faction.
Although Lu Ming didn't become a Zongzi, the strength of his faction grew stronger.
Of course, there were also many who sought refuge with Ouyang Qingxiang. After all, Ouyang Qingxiang was a Zongzi and would be in charge of the Kongxuan School in the future.
Within the short span of half a year, a large number of people had pledged allegiance to Lu Ming and Ouyang Qingxiang. Many of these people belonged to other saints and saintesses. The power of the two of them had skyrocketed, far surpassing that of the Paragon Saint, the Floating Light Saint, and the rest.
Just like that, a few more years passed.
In these few years, Lu Ming focused on cultivating and polishing his foundation. It was worth mentioning that Autumn Moon's improvement was godly. She had broken through two realms consecutively and was not far from the ninth-level True God Realm.
As for Qiuqiu, ever since it swallowed the bronze altar fragment in the Ancient God Realm, it had been in a deep sleep and hadn't woken up.
On this day, Lu Ming was cultivating when he suddenly opened his eyes. Immediately after, numerous runes appeared on his body. They were densely packed and they were like small snakes swimming around his body.
"The Nether Dragon Blood Curse. Is the Dragon Mountain summoning me?"
Lu Ming frowned. The Nether Dragon Blood Curse had always been a big concern in his heart.
"Senior Bone Demon, have you not thought of a way to break the Nether Dragon Blood Curse?"
Lu Ming asked Bone Demon for guidance.
A few years ago, Lu Ming had also asked the bone demon for guidance on how to break the Nether Dragon Blood Curse. However, the bone demon did not give an effective method.
"Difficult. This Nether Dragon Blood Curse is incomparably mysterious. The headmaster of your Kongxuan School is definitely not ordinary. He most likely has a great secret on him."
Bone Demon's figure appeared on the scroll.
"Is there really no other way?"
Lu Ming muttered.
"It's a pity that I don't have any cultivation right now. Otherwise, I would have a solution. Also, I don't know why Long Zhoushan placed the Nether Dragon Blood Curse on you. If I knew his goal, I would be able to find a way to break it."
Gu Mo said.
Lu Ming nodded. The only thing they could do now was wait.
After a while, the Nether Dragon Blood Curse on his body gradually disappeared. At this time, a person came to Lu Ming's courtyard.
"Holy Son Lu Ming, is the Sect Master looking for you?"
The person who had come was an inner court elder. His voice echoed throughout the courtyard.
"Alright!"
Lu Ming walked out of the courtyard, nodded, and followed the elder.
Not long after, he arrived at a large hall. The elder then left.
Long Zhoushan was waiting in the hall.
As soon as Lu Ming arrived, Long Zhoushan carefully sized up Lu Ming. The more he looked, the more satisfied he was.
"Long Zhoushan, why did you call for me?"
Lu Ming asked with a solemn expression.
He did not have a good attitude towards Long Zhoushan.
"Not bad, not bad. Lu Ming, your speed of improvement has exceeded my expectations. Good, very good."
Long Zhoushan nodded repeatedly.
"You didn't call me here just to praise me, right?"
Lu Ming said coldly.
"Of course not. What I want to say is that your cultivation speed is still too slow. Now, I will give you ten years. You must reach the Heavenly God Realm within ten years. Otherwise, I will activate the Nether Dragon Blood Curse and kill you. Do you understand?"
Long Zhoushan suddenly said with a cold expression.
Wisps of killing intent flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.
His cultivation speed was already extremely shocking, but Long Zhoushan actually said that he was too slow and wanted him to reach the Heavenly God Realm within ten years.
This was something that was almost impossible.
There was a huge gap between the True God Realm and the Heavenly God Realm. Countless people were blocked by this gap, unable to cross it in their entire lives.
Even some geniuses would need a long time of accumulation and the support of fortuitous opportunities if they wanted to cross it.
Breaking through to the Heavenly God Realm in ten years was practically impossible.
"How is it possible to break through to the Heavenly God Realm in ten years?!"
Lu Ming said coldly.
"Lu Ming, you only have one path. If you can't do it, then die!"
Long Zhoushan sneered.
Creak.
Lu Ming clenched his fists tightly. If not for the fact that he was not Long Zhoushan's match, he would have killed him on the spot.
"Lu Ming, ask him why he placed the Nether Dragon Blood Curse on you."
At this moment, Gu Mo's voice was transmitted into Lu Ming's spiritual consciousness.
Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat, but his expression did not change. He looked coldly at Long Zhoushan and said, "Long Zhoushan, what is your motive for placing the Nether Dragon Blood Curse on me?"
"You don't need to know that."
Long Zhoushan waved his hand.
"Long Zhoushan, you don't dare to tell me your motive. I guess your motive will be detrimental to me. If I'm not wrong, I'll be of great use to you when I reach the Heavenly God Realm, but I'll most likely die."
"Since I'm going to die anyway, rather than waiting for you to use me to death, I might as well be killed by you now so that I won't fulfill your wish."
Lu Ming said coldly.
"You dare?"
Long Zhoushan said coldly.
"What's there to be afraid of? At most, I'll die."
Lu Ming shouted as a violent aura exploded from his body. He looked like he was going to fight Long Zhoushan to the death.
"Alright, I'll tell you."
Long Zhoushan frowned and raised his hand. A powerful force crushed Lu Ming's aura as he said coldly.
Lu Ming's aura fell.
"Lu Ming, you're right. After you reach the Heavenly God Realm, I do have something that I need your help with. There's no harm in telling you."
"I placed the Nether Dragon Blood Curse on you to nurture it. The stronger your cultivation, the stronger the Nether Dragon Blood Curse will be. When you reach the Heavenly God Realm, the Nether Dragon Blood Curse in your body will be extremely powerful. I can use it to break a formation."
Long Zhoushan said.
"What formation?"
Lu Ming asked.
Long Zhoushan frowned, but then he smiled and said, "The Rising Dragon Formation. Alright, I've told you everything I need to tell you. Go down and work hard. Remember, you only have ten years. If you can't reach the Heavenly God Realm in ten years, there's no use for me to keep you."
A cold light flashed in Lu Ming's eyes as he turned around and left.
Watching Lu Ming leave, Long Zhoushan's eyes flashed with malevolence, "Brat, you want to know my motive and find a way to break it? But what's the use of knowing my motive? Your fate has already been decided. Hehehe, hurry up and break through. Once you reach the Heavenly God Realm, I'll regain my freedom. "
