A few months later …
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …
Gently sweeping away the dust and rubbish on the ground, Lu Sheng put down his hands and looked up at the sky. It was already afternoon.
The grapes hanging on the grape trellis in the courtyard were like green jade beads. They were crystal clear and exuded a wonderful magnificence under the light of the setting sun.
"Lu Sheng, dinner is ready. Come in and eat with us." The old man's voice was full of vigor.
Lu Sheng placed the broom in a corner, leaned against the wall, and poured the rubbish in the shovel into the trash can. Then, he turned and walked slowly into the house.
The house was a little dark, but a few dim oil lamps on the wall illuminated the simple furnishings in the house.
An old man with a face full of wrinkles, who looked as if he could collapse at any time, was trembling as he held the vegetable porridge in his hand. He placed it on the square table and then arranged the rest of the dishes on the table in place.
Without saying a word, Lu Sheng sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and picked up some shredded radish stir-fried meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
The crispy shredded radish was sweet and refreshing, mixed with the freshness and softness of the shredded meat without any fishy smell. Together with some finely chopped green onions and a slightly hot texture, Lu Sheng felt as if his appetite had been stimulated the moment it entered his mouth.
"We went to the fourfold dojo previously. The scenery was really good, but it was a little too crafty. Today, we're going to Mount Huangyuan," the old man said with a smile.
"Mount Huangyuan?"
"It's a good place. It's said that the mountain spring on the mountain is very sweet." The old man chuckled. "When I was young, I wanted to try the mountain spring on this mountain. Unfortunately … I haven't had the time after so many years. I'm always busy, and many years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Lu Sheng nodded. "People always have to live in this world …"
The two of them quickly stuffed all the food on the table into their mouths. Lu Sheng had a huge appetite, but after finishing all the dishes on the table, he felt unprecedentedly satisfied.
He got up calmly, cleared the table, carried the dirty bowls to the kitchen sink, and washed the dishes before cleaning up the mess.
He had been doing this for a long time. He had been doing it for the past few months.
At first, he was very irritated and impatient, but later on, he gradually became more and more tranquil.
He did not know how this change came about and what effect it would have, but he enjoyed it very much.
After the meal, the two rested for a while. Then, they went out together, found a carriage, and headed straight for Yellow Origin Mountain.
When they arrived at Yellow Essence Mountain, they bought some food and water from a vendor at the foot of the mountain. Then, the two of them started to climb up the mountain step by step.
Although the old man was old, his body was abnormally strong. By the time he and Lu Sheng reached the top of the mountain, it was already dark.
At the top of the mountain, there were several flat platforms that had been repaired, and fences had been added to prevent danger.
The old man stood behind the fence and looked at the scenery. Lu Sheng carefully took out the bamboo tube, poked it open, and poured a mouthful of water into his mouth.
"Lu Sheng, do you understand?" The old man suddenly asked softly with his back facing him.
"What?"
"Understand what you really want."
"Me? I want … "Lu Sheng suddenly felt that he could not remember. It was as if there was something extremely important in his mind, but he could not remember what it was.
He covered his head with his hands and closed his eyes, thinking carefully. But no matter how hard he thought, However, no matter how he thought, he could not remember what he wanted.
"You've accompanied me to so many places and for so long. I'm already very satisfied," the old man said with a smile. "In return, I'll leave everything you want for you. As for whether you can gain anything from it, that's up to you."
"Leave it for me?" Lu Sheng closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he seemed to have understood something.
"You're too impatient …" The old man said helplessly, "At your current stage, you're already at the fastest speed of improvement. At this stage, no one can easily take a step forward. You haven't even completely grasped your own Core Law."
Lu Sheng shuddered. Like a flood, the memories from before awakened in his mind with a loud bang.
In order to achieve his next cultivation goal, he agreed to one of Divine Lord Tong Yi's conditions. That was to live with him naturally for a few months.
Now that he had done what he promised, it was time for Divine Lord Tong Yi to fulfill his promise.
Lu Sheng's heart sank. He could not remember at all how he left Autumn Moon County with Divine Lord Tong Yi. The memories in his mind started from the moment he saw Divine Lord Tong Yi display his Origin Power in the Palace of Daoism.
"This … is this Origin Power as well?" Lu Sheng felt a chill in his heart. He had been manipulated for so long without anyone noticing. Even his own memories were muddled.
The old man smiled. He was the real Divine Lord Tong Yi.
"This is my Origin Power. Even if it's the same Origin Power, different Origin Powers have different effects. Coincidentally, there is a huge hole in your soul. Simply seeing the nature of Origin Power made you confused and lost your memory. "
"Huge hole?" Lu Sheng shuddered. "May I ask, Senior, what is the hole in me?"
Frowning, the old man said, "You haven't even fully understood the transformations of your Core Law. And then there's the fusion of your divine soul and your Core Law.... Your Core Law is very strange. Although it's weak, and I've never seen it before, I can still sense the aura of a Holy Lord."
"What you need to do now is to cultivate in seclusion and stabilize your strength, not to improve. Forget it, you can decide how to arrange it. I will recommend a place to you, a place that will be good for you. Go if you want to, and if you don't, it's up to you. Once everything is stabilized there, you may be able to fill in the hole and explore what you want. "
He waved his hand. A white piece of paper floated between the two of them and landed in Lu Sheng's palm.
"Alright, thank you for spending so much time with me. When you reach the main branch, don't forget to come visit me at the Grey Goose House." The old man smiled and suddenly took a step forward. With a whoosh, he turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared without a trace.
Lu Sheng lowered his head and read the contents of the slip of paper.
"Golden Blood Mountain Villa."
Behind it was a series of detailed addresses. However, this address didn't seem to be in the Great Yin.
He put away the branch and put it away carefully.
'Is this the power of Origin Power?' Lu Sheng closed his eyes, and carefully recalled the feelings he had experienced over the past few months.
"Crack … Boom!"
In an instant, the scenery around him shattered like glass.
What appeared after the shattering was a barren, pitch-black, and cold barren mountain.
It was already late. Lu Sheng looked around. This was not Yellow Essence Mountain, and there were no signs of human habitation. It was just a normal little hill.
Looking ahead, the undulating mountain range was like a giant black beast crawling on the ground, motionless under the gradually descending curtain of night.
'Is this Origin Power? If Xiao Zizhu had used this kind of power that day, I'm afraid … 'Lu Sheng sighed in his heart. He hadn't even felt that he was surrounded by Origin Power after so long.
The memories of the past few months flashed through his mind. Tong Yi didn't do anything with him. They just lived a normal life, like an old man with his grandson. They went around to relax, enjoy the scenery, and didn't mention anything about cultivation. They lived like this until now.
Lu Sheng lowered his head to look at the piece of paper in his hand again. The content on it was no longer the address from before. Instead, it was written in smaller words.
It seemed to be a mental cultivation method.
Picking up the paper, Lu Sheng read out the name of the mental cultivation method word by word.
"Essence Cultivation Method."
The method was simple. It was just a simple circulation of the mind and True Essence. Lu Sheng tried it, and was shocked to find a clear and refreshing feeling in the depths of his mind.
Clearly, this mental cultivation method was not simple. It was a great gift from Divine Lord Tong Yi.
"Whatever, let's go back first." Lu Sheng carefully sensed the connection between him and the Autumn Moon County's Divine Weapon, the Wei River Sword. Then, he leapt into the air and flew into the distance, quickly disappearing into the night.
…
After the Devil Disaster.
Under Lu Sheng's leadership, the Prime Devil Sect of Autumn Moon County began to recruit new disciples. They also connected with Yuanguang Yuan of the Yin Capital, and the two worked together to obtain many much-needed external resources.
The Prime Devil Sect's influence expanded rapidly, and they achieved great results in the fight against the Devil Army.
In the next few years, the Prime Devil Sect, together with the Crimson Sun Sect, continuously swallowed up the sects in the middle line under Lu Sheng's leadership. Anyone with strength was recruited into the sect, and after a short period of training, they were all sent to the battlefield to fight against the Devil Army.
The expansion of the Prime Devil Sect infringed on the interests of many local families and sects. Even the three local sects were dissatisfied.
But because of Lu Sheng's status and strength, no one dared to say anything. They could only suppress their dissatisfaction.
The Prime Devil Sect rushed to the frontlines and recruited wandering martial artists without restraint. They even took in ordinary mortals who hadn't even reached Bind level. Such unsightly behavior made many factions laugh at them.
They thought that throwing these newbies into the Devil Army's battlefield would definitely cause problems.
But surprisingly, not only did the Prime Devil Sect's troops not get into trouble, they even slaughtered a large number of Devil Army troops.
The Devil World even sent out Devil Generals and Devil Kings, but they all returned with heavy losses.
Under everyone's curious investigation, the three great generals of the Prime Devil Sect finally surfaced.
King of Shadows, Elder Stone, and Master Ying.
These three were the three strongest existences in the Prime Devil Sect, and each of them displayed the terrifying strength of a powerful Devil King.
Devil Masters weren't cabbages. Even if the Devil World was full of powerful cultivators, a Devil Master wouldn't be sent to a small county like this to suppress the morale of the army.
The Devil World only sent a Devil Master by chance, but after he was killed by Lu Sheng on the spot, they didn't receive any more reinforcements. This wasn't an important place, and it didn't matter to the Devil World if they couldn't get through.
Plus, with Shizi Xing disguised as Xiao Zizhu looking out for them in secret, the Prime Devil Sect's influence snowballed. After several small victories, the news spread.
