Hearing what Yun Lang Warden said, the expressions of the three turned solemn.
As Void Refinement realm cultivators, the three of them naturally knew how powerful the True Meaning of Origin was.
One had to know that even the Void Demon Child could only master the True Meaning of Space because of his bloodline.
It was also because of the existence of the True Meaning of Space that the Void Demon Child became so troublesome.
What kind of taboo would the other True Meaning of Origin be? Just thinking about it made them shudder.
Who would have thought that the barren land at the edge of the Green Province would be so unfathomable with crouching dragons and hidden tigers.
Since Supervisor Yunlang had finished speaking, he waved his hand tiredly and sent the guests away.
After the three Tower Lords left the Tianji Tower, Supervisor Yunlang suddenly coughed violently. Specks of blood spurted out from his mouth and splashed on the ground.
Yunlang looked at the scarlet and dazzling bloodstains on the ground and sighed, revealing a hint of twilight. "I don't have much time left …"
It seemed to be the usual ending for the disciples of the Tianji Tower to work hard and not have a good ending.
.....
Green Wind World, central area.
The three Tower Lords gathered to discuss this trip.
"If we can't find a way to restrict the True Meaning of Space, even if we lead the cultivators in the tower to kill them, we can only wipe out all the Hades minions. The Void Demon Child can use the True Meaning of Space to escape." Deputy Tower Lord Lu Yuan said quickly, hitting the nail on the head.
"If we can't take down the Void Demon Child this time, we don't know when such an opportunity will appear again!" True Venerable Darknorth seconded.
If they wanted to take down the Void Demon Child, the True Meaning of Space was an obstacle they couldn't avoid.
"I've already reported the specific situation on our side to the Southern Region Branch.
They also attach great importance to our operation to eradicate the Void Demon Child, so they will send cultivators who have a way to deal with the True Meaning of Space to assist us. "Tower Lord Pang Yang said firmly with victory in his hands.
"That's good." Hearing this, Lu Yuan also let go of the worries in his heart.
"Then what should we do next?" True Venerable Darknorth asked.
"Let's wait for the reinforcements to arrive first, then we …" Tower Lord Pang Yang's expression was cold as he told the two Tower Lords the detailed plan.
.....
On the fifth day in the Green Wind World, after Dantai Qingrun sent a message of farewell to Lu Qingshan, she quietly left the Southern Region and headed for the Zhishou Building in the Middle Heaven Region through the transmission formation.
After all, Dantai Qingrun was the first main storyline character that Lu Qingshan had met after coming to this world. He still had some feelings for her.
After this parting, it was likely that it would be a long time before they met again. This caused Lu Qingshan to feel a faint sense of pity.
Now, all that was left was to wait for True Venerable Darknorth's mission.
Lu Qingshan glanced at the Western Rat King, who was still seriously cultivating, and nodded to himself.
He really did not expect that the little rat demon with such a lively personality would actually be able to calm down and cultivate.
As he waited, five days passed in the blink of an eye.
As the Western Rat King caused a violent fluctuation of Spirit Qi, a hidden message passed through the light shield of Guard Fan Lou.
Lu Qingshan waved his hand and realized that it was a message from True Venerable Darknorth. He probed the message with his Spiritual Sense, and his expression changed slightly.
Without further thought, Lu Qingshan sent out a gentle Spiritual Sense to awaken the Western Rat King, who was in the midst of cultivation.
Being called out by Lu Qingshan from his cultivation state, the little rat demon scratched his head and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
"I'm going out for a while. Do you want to stay here and cultivate, or do you want to come with me?" Lu Qingshan said calmly.
"I'll go with you!" The Western Rat King was straightforward and quick-witted.
"Then let's go," Lu Qingshan said.
.....
Qianzhao City, at the very edge of the Green Province. Qianzhao Mansion's prefectural city was far less prosperous than other prefectural cities.
Lu Qingshan appeared from the flickering teleportation formation of Qianzhao City.
As soon as he arrived at Qianzhao City, Lu Qingshan quickly left the city.
After leaving the city, Lu Qingshan, who was clearly in the mansion for the first time, rode his flying sword and flew in a familiar direction.
Two hours later, a mountain peak appeared in front of Lu Qingshan's eyes.
On this mountain peak stood a sect called the Iron Fist Sect. It was a local sect that had existed for nearly a thousand years.
A huge sect-protecting formation enveloped the entire sect.
At the entrance of the sect halfway up the mountain, there were two black-clothed cultivators guarding the gate.
Lu Qingshan stopped at the entrance of the sect and threw a token to the two black-clothed men.
After the two black-clothed men received the token and inspected it, they immediately returned it and stepped aside. An opening appeared on the barrier formed by the formation, allowing him to pass through.
Lu Qingshan's figure flashed and flew in.
A huge square of the sect came into view.
It was already full of cultivators. Lu Qingshan glanced around. Although he did not recognize them, it was not difficult to tell that they were all cultivators of the Zhishou Building.
Moreover, the aura emitted by these cultivators was abnormally deep. After a rough observation, he could tell that they were at least mid-stage Golden Elixir cultivators, and there were even quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators.
Such a luxurious lineup could be said to have gathered most of the high-level cultivators of the Green Province Main Building.
Lu Qingshan's early-stage Golden Elixir cultivation seemed to be at the bottom of these cultivators.
However, he did not mind and did not show off. Instead, he quietly blended into the group of cultivators.
Many cultivators were whispering to each other.
From their conversation, Lu Qingshan quickly determined that the cultivators present were in the same situation as him. They had received a spiritual message from True Venerable Northern Darkness and were sent here.
As for the content of the spiritual message, there was no other information except for the activation of a mission and asking them to gather here and carry out the mission secretly.
After a while, the whispers of the cultivators present stopped.
Four cultivators had appeared on the high platform in front of the square at some point in time.
Lu Qingshan knew three of them. They were True Venerable Northern Darkness and the other two building masters of the Zhishou Building. As for the last middle-aged male cultivator who was wearing a gray Daoist robe and had a sharp gaze, he did not recognize him.
However, since he could be on the same level as the three building masters, he was at least a Void Refinement realm cultivator.
"Everyone." True Venerable Northern Darkness said loudly. This time, he was responsible for explaining to the cultivators present. "I called you here this time because there is a big mission. You should all know about it."
"As for the specific content of the mission, I haven't told you."
"The reason is very simple. Because this mission involves too much interference, we can't afford to make any mistakes. In order to prevent spies from leaking the mission, the specific content of the mission has been kept a secret."
The cultivators present all fell silent and took a deep breath. From True Venerable Northern Darkness's explanation, they had already realized that what he was going to say next would not be too simple.
True Venerable Northern Darkness continued, "Since my colleagues are already here, we will soon face a tough battle. There is no need to hide the mission content anymore."
True Venerable Northern Darkness's expression was solemn. After a pause, his eyes swept over the cultivators present like a knife and said in a deep voice, "This time, our target will be the leader of the Hades of Qing Province, the Void Demon Son!"
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples. True Venerable Northern Darkness's words seemed to have thrown a huge stone in the hearts of all the cultivators present.
The Void Demon Son was the biggest enemy of the Zhishou Building of Qing Province. Now that True Venerable Northern Darkness suddenly said that he was going to attack the Void Demon Son, the impact of the impact made the cultivators present feel a little unreal.
Only Lu Qingshan seemed a little abnormally calm in the crowd.
Long before this, he had already roughly guessed what the big operation True Venerable Northern Darkness was talking about was.
After all, he and Dantai Qingrun had personally followed Li Zun into the Demon Spirit Graveyard to deal with him.
However, even so, the unreal feeling in his heart still existed, although the reason was different from the other cultivators.
He sighed with emotion because he had already felt the changes brought about by the butterfly effect when his new era name changed from Immortal Martial to Heaven Origin. However, those were still relatively illusory changes. This was the first time he had witnessed a specific big change in the plot with his own eyes.
In the game, the Zhishou Building of Qing Province's attack on the Void Demon Son was supposed to happen in the middle of the next version.
Moreover, the time span between the current version and the middle of the next version was more than ten years.
In other words, the attack on the Void Demon Son was a full ten years earlier than the original timeline.
Lu Qingshan felt a little complicated in his heart.
The storm brought about by the butterfly effect was like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger.
If such changes continued, he did not know how long the plot he was familiar with could continue to develop according to the original plan.
This time, it was only the advance of the plot in the timeline, but the next time, it was very likely that the entire plot would change dramatically.
But no matter what, for Lu Qingshan, increasing his strength was the most important thing.
As long as he was strong enough, even if he did not know the development of the plot, he could still cope with the changes by remaining unchanged.
But if he was not strong enough, it would be like the Corpse Puppet Rebellion. Even if he knew the plot's direction, he still could not change anything.
.....
"We have found the location of the Void Demon Son. It's in the Barren Land." True Venerable Northern Darkness continued, "That's why we summoned you to the Iron Fist School in Qianzhao Manor. As for the reason why we asked you to hide and come here separately, it was to avoid making too much noise and alerting Hades, so he could escape at the last minute."
Qianzhao Manor was the closest manor to the Barren Land, and the Iron Fist School happened to be close to the Barren Land, so it was the most suitable place to gather.
If it was too close, with Hades' influence, it would be difficult to hide. But it could not be too far, or it would be inconvenient to move around.
And this Iron Fist School was one of Zhishou Tower's intelligence points in Qianzhao Manor.
In fact, in almost all the manors in Qingzhou, Zhishou Tower had set up their own intelligence points.
After all, for Zhishou Tower, it was very important to know the movements of various forces.
And these intelligence points had gradually become the local forces in Zhishou Tower's hundreds and thousands of years of existence.
They had good relations with the left and right, and were well-informed. They slowly expanded their connections in survival and development, and had considerable intelligence capabilities. In many cases, they could even act as a temporary stronghold for Zhishou Tower's cultivators, just like now.
True Venerable Northern Darkness waved his hand, and a gray wooden boat floated in the air, rapidly expanding.
"Next, we will take this flying spirit boat and go deep into the Barren Land to crusade against the Void Demon Son and Hades' cultivators.
During this process, all spiritual messages will be banned, so I hope you won't make a mistake. " A cold light flashed in True Venerable Northern Darkness's eyes, and he emphasized again, "If anyone secretly sends a message to the outside world, no matter the reason, they will be treated as traitors."
"Understood!" All the cultivators responded in unison, their hearts surging.
They had gradually come to understand the significance of this trip.
If they could really take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the Void Demon Son and severely damage the Hades' forces in Qingzhou, then those who participated in this operation would have made a great contribution.
Whether it was psychologically or materially, they would be able to obtain great benefits. Just thinking about it made them very excited.
"Then let's not talk nonsense. Everyone, get on the spirit boat and prepare to set off." True Venerable Northern Darkness stepped back, and Pang Yang stood up and said in a thunderous voice.
All the cultivators present did not hesitate and jumped on the spirit boat. Finally, the three tower masters and that unknown great cultivator also jumped on the spirit boat.
"Up!" Under the control of True Venerable Northern Darkness, the spirit boat soared into the sky and turned into a gray, almost invisible shadow. It passed through the Iron Fist School's great protective array and rushed toward the Barren Land.
It was as fast as lightning, and the mountains on both sides turned into afterimages as it flashed past.
After a few hours, the spirit boat had officially entered the Desolate Land.
However, the Barren Land was very large, and it would take two or three days to reach the place where the Void Demon Son was located.
Along the way, it was rare to see large areas of green in the Barren Land. Most of the greenery was not forests or lush vegetation, but rather huge, low shrubs.
As the spirit boat gradually went deeper, they occasionally passed by one or two small human villages with only a few hundred people.
Lu Qingshan stood on the flying boat and hurriedly glanced around. He found that these people were short, dark, and thin like iron.
However, although these people were thin, they were able to survive in such a barren and harsh place. In terms of physical fitness and fighting quality, they were actually better than most mortals.
"The Barren Land is not all barren like this. Half of the area is more like an oasis.
It's just that the Void Demon Son's hiding place seems to be in this barren land. " A young cultivator next to Lu Qingshan who looked to be in his twenties took the initiative to introduce him when he saw Lu Qingshan staring at the ground in a daze.
Seeing Lu Qingshan look over, the young cultivator smiled brightly and stretched out his hand to Lu Qingshan. He said in a friendly manner, "My name is Liu Yu."
"Lu Qingshan." Lu Qingshan shook hands with Liu Yu. "Fellow Daoist Liu seems to know this Barren Land very well?"
Liu Yu smiled. "Not particularly. It's just that I was originally a member of the Qian Zhao Mansion, so I know more or less about the Barren Land.
It's just that I didn't expect the Void Demon Son to be hiding here. "
