At the edge of the Spirit Abyss.
Mo Zhizhi, with her voluptuous figure, stood there silently. Her limpid eyes were fixed on the entrance of the Spirit Abyss, and her face was filled with worry.
In front of her was a small silver-gray rat.
"Madam Mo, don't worry. With my understanding of Lu Qingshan, he will definitely bring your husband and child out of the Spirit Abyss. "The Western Rat King patted his chest and promised Mo Zhizhi.
Mo Zhizhi didn't make things difficult for the Western Rat King. Instead, she said softly, "I just want to wait here for them. That way, when they come out, I'll be the first to see them."
The Western Rat King felt a little helpless.
Two days had passed since Lu Qingshan entered the Spirit Abyss, but there was still no sign of him.
Mo Zhizhi had already begun to tacitly accept that Xue Zhuyong and Mo Yan had met with misfortune and were on the verge of collapse. It could only tell Mo Zhizhi the truth to comfort her.
However, after hearing this secret, Mo Zhizhi immediately rushed to the Spirit Abyss and waited for Mo Yan and the others to return.
In order to complete Lu Qingshan's orders, it could only stay by Mo Zhizhi's side.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
At that moment, a powerful whistling sound rang out from the Spirit Abyss.
The Western Rat King's ears twitched slightly.
The Spirit Abyss was about to erupt with mist again. In other words, that stupid whale was about to start breathing again!
Mo Zhizhi was attracted by the commotion in the Spirit Abyss, and all of her attention was focused on it.
Lu Qingshan, Grandpa Rat must have been tricked by you. Comforting a woman is even more tiring than fighting!
Seeing that Mo Zhizhi's attention was temporarily diverted, the Western Rat King breathed a sigh of relief. It wiped the non-existent sweat from its forehead, and at the same time, it constantly worried about Lu Qingshan in its heart.
However, it had already been a month. Why hadn't Lu Qingshan come out yet? Could it be that he had encountered some difficult problem that he couldn't solve?
The Western Rat King started to worry.
"Wait, something's not right …" While the Western Rat King was distracted, he glanced at the entrance of the Spirit Abyss from the corner of his eye. However, he discovered that the Spirit Abyss was completely different from before. There was an eye-catching red light radiating from it.
"Could this be … lava?" Seeing that the color wasn't right, it was instantly terrified. It hurriedly grabbed Mo Zhizhi's sleeve, wanting to pull her to a safe place. "Madam Mo, let's go quickly. Lingyuan is starting to get serious. This time, it's not just water mist!"
Madam Mo's figure did not move at all. Her eyes were red as she looked at the entrance of the Spirit Abyss. She choked with sobs and said, "Yan 'er … he's back."
The Western Rat King was stunned and looked at Madam Mo.
During this time, Mo Zhizhi had been holding a sparkling jade pendant in her hand.
According to Madam Mo, this was made for her by Mo Yan.
The Western Rat King didn't think much of it and thought that Mo Zhizhi was just thinking about someone else.
However, at this time, there were countless rainbow lights lingering inside the jade pendant.
Only then did the Western Rat King realize that this jade pendant should be a set of Dharma Artifacts. It could sense the other jade pendant, and the other jade pendant was obviously on Mo Yan.
.....
Under the suction force from the depths of the Longevity River, Lu Qingshan and the others gradually became blurry.
"We're finally out!" Mo Yan was excited but also worried.
He didn't know how worried his mother would be after disappearing for so long.
Xue Zhuyong's expression was a little stiff.
During the month in the Spirit Flame Realm, he and Mo Yan had been in a very awkward situation. They were polite and distant.
Now that Mo Zhizhi was added to the mix, he felt even more troubled.
He had no idea how to deal with the three of them when they met.
Just as everyone was thinking about their own problems, a green, misty, and vibrant light suddenly appeared in the Longevity River. In an instant, it silently merged into Lu Qingshan's body. It was so fast that Xue Zhuyong and Mo Yan did not notice it.
Qin Yitian was the only one who noticed this.
"Young Master, what is that?" Qin Yitian asked softly.
She could feel that the ball of light did not have any destructive power.
So that was it.
Lu Qingshan closed his eyes slightly as if sensing something. Then, a look of realization appeared on his face. In response to Qin Yitian's question, he pursed his lips and explained softly, "It's a gift from the Longevity Whale …"
…
After a while, they once again appeared in the strange and colorful teleportation tunnel.
The teleportation process was as short as entering. Soon, light appeared in the darkness ahead.
After passing through the black hole, the temperature around them dropped.
They had arrived at the Spirit Abyss.
The aura that came out with them, which had been beside the extremely hot lava waterfall, immediately liquefied into mist when it suddenly became cold. Under the propulsion of the Spirit Abyss, it erupted out of the Spirit Abyss.
Lu Qingshan used Spiritual Power to protect himself. He broke through the air and left the Spirit Abyss. Behind him were Xue Zhuyong, Mo Yan, and Flame Spirit, who rushed out like a river.
.....
The Western Rat King's eyes widened as he watched several figures rush out of the mist.
Behind them was a long red dragon.
Then, the long red dragon suddenly turned into red dots that filled the sky and scattered in the air.
Those figures, after pausing in the air, swooped down toward them.
The Western Rat King reacted quickly. "It's Lu Qingshan. They're back!"
Four Daoist figures stopped in front of the Western Rat King and Mo Zhizhi.
Mo Zhizhi's eyes were red. She hugged Mo Yan tightly and sobbed softly.
Mo Yan could only pat Mo Zhizhi's back gently. He comforted her softly, "It's okay, it's okay …"
Xue Zhuyong stood aside, not saying a word.
Seeing this, Lu Qingshan did not say anything. He left with the Western Rat King.
There were some problems that could only be solved by themselves. It was not good for outsiders to interfere.
.....
Five days later.
Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian stood side by side, strolling along the streets of Jiaolong City.
No, it should be called Dragonslayer City now.
The day after the Jiaolong Daoist King fell into the Spirit Abyss, the Dragon-slaying Saber cultivators officially took over the city and renamed it Dragonslayer City.
There were countless people on the streets. There were stalls all around. The spacious streets were packed full.
Whether it was the commoners in coarse clothes or the rich in silk, they all had bright smiles on their faces as they walked. Their eyes were no longer gloomy, but full of light.
It was a completely different atmosphere from the oppressive atmosphere of the bustling city before.
Lu Qingshan could not help but feel a sense of relief in his heart.
After a few more steps, a huge black iron dragon statue that was hundreds of feet tall came into view.
Although the Dragon-slaying Saber cultivators had renamed Jiaolong City, the blademaster had decided to keep the statue.
However, the statue used to represent the Jiaolong Daoist King's supreme status. Now, it was a memorial to the cultivators who had sacrificed themselves to slay the dragon, as well as all the children who had died in the ceremony. At the same time, it served as a warning to the people on the island, reminding them of the experience of being ruled by the Jiaolong.
In front of the statue was a couple with a child, looking up at the ferocious dragon statue.
The father's eyes were filled with tears. He kept stroking his child's head with his thick hand, murmuring, "It's all in the past, all in the past. No one will ever take you away from us again …"
The child was confused. He did not understand why his father was suddenly crying. He could only tug on his father's sleeve. "Dad, don't cry, don't cry."
"Mom, look at dad. Why is he crying?" The child wanted to ask his mother for help, but when he turned, he saw that his mother's face was covered in tears.
"If Nannan's spirit in heaven could see this, she would probably rest in peace," the mother murmured, clutching her chest.
The child panicked and didn't know what to do.
"Mom and dad are happy. Don't be afraid." The father rubbed his eyes and held the child's small hand.
The child raised his head to look at his parents. Although his eyes were red, he was clearly smiling very brightly. The ignorant child didn't think too much about it and also smiled unconsciously.
This was the meaning of what Mo Yan and the Dragon-slaying Saber had done.
Lu Qingshan murmured.
The laughter, the child's coquettish voice, and the sparkling eyes filled with hope …
All of this made Lu Qingshan extremely happy.
He felt that his heart was suddenly brightened.
It was also at this moment that an inexplicable feeling arose, causing his state of mind to enter a strange state.
In front of the dragon statue, Lu Qingshan slowly closed his eyes.
It was as if he was in the perspective of a god. With an extremely detached state of mind, he felt the scenes that appeared in his mind and kept passing by.
There was an invisible line that connected everything, forming a complete cycle.
Qin Yitian stopped walking.
She felt that Lu Qingshan's body was undergoing a silent sublimation.
The power of heaven and earth enveloped him, washing away the impurities on his body.
In her eyes, Lu Qingshan had become spotless and especially clear, like a sparkling and translucent jade.
After a moment, Lu Qingshan opened his eyes and met Qin Yitian's gaze. She could see that there was a strange light flowing in Lu Qingshan's pitch-black pupils. It contained a special magical power, attracting people to be immersed in it.
Qin Yitian's dark eyes were dazed. She murmured, "Is this … karma?"
Lu Qingshan was stunned. He looked at the data panel.
"Comprehension of intent!"
"… You have obtained partial comprehension of the Karma Sword Will!"
Karma Sword Will (Incomplete:?) One of the Original Intents …??
"It should be." Lu Qingshan nodded, then said, "But it's just a little bit."
"The most difficult part is the beginning. Since you've already started, you might be able to go deeper." Qin Yitian's eyes shone. She said softly, "The Karma Will is one of the Original Intents …"
Lu Qingshan's eyes also shone with a glimmer of hope.
He naturally knew what the Original Intents represented.
The power of intents was one of the most powerful techniques of high-level cultivators. Apart from being ever-changing and varied, there were also obvious differences in the power of intents according to their level of abstruseness.
The intents that ordinary cultivators comprehended were the most ordinary ones, such as the Billows Will and the Waves Will. They only involved a very small part of the understanding of the power of heaven and earth. The power of the intents was not too shocking.
The Karma Will, on the other hand, involved karma. It was one of the most powerful and mysterious Original Intents in the world.
Even at his peak in his past life, he had mastered four intents. The most powerful one was the Slaughter Sword Will, which was the prerequisite to the Destruction Sword Will.
Who would have thought that he would come into contact with the Original Intents when he was only at the Foundation Establishment level? The most mysterious Karma Will, at that.
The difference between the Original Intents and ordinary intents was like the difference between a Taoist Art and an ordinary one.
Just as Qin Yitian had said, this little bit of enlightenment would not benefit him in any way, but it represented a bright future. It represented a possibility.
If there was a day when he could continue down this path, he would be happy.
.....
Three figures stood side by side at Serpent Harbor.
"Brother Lu, these are the materials you need." Mo Yan smiled and handed Lu Qingshan a storage pouch.
This was the Dragon-slaying Saber's way of thanking Lu Qingshan for helping them slay the dragon.
Lu Qingshan did not ask for Spirit Stones. Instead, he listed some Spiritual Materials for the Dragon-slaying Saber.
These were the materials he needed to refine the Five Elements Sword Armor.
After expending the efforts of many cultivators in the sect, the Dragon-slaying Saber collected most of the materials Lu Qingshan needed in half a month.
"How are Shopkeeper Xue and Madam Mo now?" Lu Qingshan teased with a hint of mischief.
Mo Yan did not get angry at Lu Qingshan. He pursed his lips and said, "My mother forgave him when she found out that he fell into the Spirit Abyss to save me."
"What about you?"
Mo Yan's face stiffened. After a moment of silence, he mumbled, "Even my mother forgave him. What else can I do …"
"Yan told me that he sensed an extremely familiar Heavenly Flame's aura. However, that aura is in the inner sea. So, after some time, I'll be going out to sea with Yan to look for this old acquaintance." Mo Yan was slightly embarrassed by Lu Qingshan's half-smile. He quickly changed the topic and said, "Moreover, the Flame Spirit needs the fire region's environment to survive. The Heavenly Flame's location must be the most suitable environment for the Flame Spirit. So, even if it's not for the Heavenly Flame, I'll still have to look for it."
"Understood." Lu Qingshan nodded. At the same time, he sighed in his heart.
He was certain that the name Mo Yan, which he had never heard of in his previous life, would definitely resound throughout the human race in this life.
"I wonder how long it will be before we meet again, Brother Lu." Mo Yan could not help but sigh.
"Don't worry. If nothing goes wrong, it won't be long before we meet again," Lu Qingshan said slowly.
"Hm?" Mo Yan was stunned.
"The mountains are high and the water is far away. Let's part ways here!" Lu Qingshan did not say anything else to Mo Yan. He leaped onto the ship.
As soon as Lu Qingshan boarded the ship, the crew, who had already been prepared, quickly raised the sails and set sail for the inland.
Mo Yan stood where he was for a long time. He watched the lone sailboat disappear into the horizon.
'Won't it be long before we meet again?'
Mo Yan was deep in thought.
He knew very well that Lu Qingshan was not someone who spoke without thinking. Since he said so, there must be a reason behind it.
He just did not know what kind of scene it would be when they met again.
