"He's dead?"
"The Old Vulture Vulture who's dominated Mo Gao for so many years is dead just like that?"
A surreal feeling rose in everyone's hearts.
It happened too quickly. The tide of the battle had changed in an instant.
A moment ago, the Old Vulture Vulture Vulture Elder was still displaying his might. He was suppressing Jue Zhen and Lu Qingshan by himself. He even managed to break through Jue Zhen's interception and reached Lu Qingshan.
In the next instant, the Arhat's lotus flower and the Xiezhi appeared at the same time. A sword slashed through the air. By the time they regained their senses, the battle was already over.
The instant the Old Vulture Elder's aura vanished, the spectating cultivators in the Great Bear City understood that the desert bandit who had caused so much trouble to the Nine Tribes had died in the hands of a sword cultivator of unknown origins.
Before the battle began, they had already thought highly of Lu Qingshan.
However, they only thought that Lu Qingshan had some external object to rely on. They did not expect Lu Qingshan to rely on his own strength.
"I've gotten my revenge …" When Xiong Li saw this, his turbid eyes immediately turned red.
To him, his joy had completely overshadowed the shock in his heart.
"A Nascent Soul sword cultivator is no match for the Middle-stage Void Refinement Old Vulture Elder. This is too much …" The Great Bear Tribe Leader who had been filled with resentment was now in disbelief. "Based on this, this sword cultivator is already worthy of being on the Yellow Board … I can't believe that such a powerful person would appear in a shallow place like ours …"
A Great Bear Tribe cultivator suddenly thought of something and asked cautiously, "Tribe Leader, what should we do with the head embedded in the city wall by the sword cultivator …"
The scene fell silent for a moment.
The Great Bear Tribe Leader's face was ashen.
As long as the Desert Evil Monk's head was embedded in the city wall of the Great Bear City, the sword cultivator's shadow would linger.
Anyone who saw this head would mention the Great Bear Tribe when they mentioned the sword cultivator.
"You let the desert bandit commit murder beside you, and you don't even dare to make a sound."
The sooner the head was removed, the better.
However, the problem now was …
They did not dare to remove it.
If even the Old Vulture Elder was no match for the sword cultivator, the Great Bear Tribe would be even more helpless.
Who knew what kind of personality the sword cultivator had?
Perhaps the sword cultivator would be enraged because they had rashly removed the head. What should they do then?
At least, no one in the Great Bear Tribe could bear the sword cultivator's wrath.
.....
Lu Qingshan put away Old Vulture's storage ring... He Qingshan gave it a thought.................................
.......................
..................
It was a storage ring from the Desert Evil Monk.
.............................................................
"I came here to solve the problem of Qi Luo. Even if Qi Luo didn't attack you, I would have attacked him anyway. Instead, I should thank you for luring Qi Luo out." The little monk placed his palms together with a stubborn look in his eyes.
. As for Old Vulture Elder, I didn't do much. Even without me, it shouldn't have been difficult for you to deal with him with what you just did. "
Lu Qingshan looked at Jue Zhen's resolute eyes. He smiled. "That's another matter. Why you helped is another matter. But you did help."
He was also resolute.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! "
Lu Qingshan recalled the Dragon Sparrow and River of Forgetfulness.
Just as Lu Qingshan was about to leave, Jue Zhen finally remembered. He asked, "How should I address you, sir?"
"Sword Sect Lu Qingshan..." Lu Qingshan smiled.
"Sir Lu, if you encounter any trouble in the Xisha Plateau in the future, feel free to find me at Chicken Soup Temple." Jue Zhen added.
"Of course!" Lu Qingshan waved his hand at the little monk. Then, he mounted his sword and left.
.....
In the battle outside Ursa City, the bandits sent out three Nascent Soul Late-stage leaders and Old Vulture Elder, who was at Void Refinement Middle-stage.
Without exception, they all died under Lu Qingshan's sword.
Including the Sindhi who died at Lu Qingshan's hands.
Half of the eight leaders of the bandits were already dead.
After losing Old Vulture Elder's deterrence, the bandits would undoubtedly be beaten up by the nine clans.
The outcome was obvious.
Of all the people to provoke, why provoke a sword cultivator?
.....
Lu Qingshan followed the map and went deeper into the Mogao Plateau. At the same time, he counted his gains.
Killing Old Vulture Elder should have given him a large sum of experience points. However, the cost of using the Yellow Springs Sword was too expensive.
After exiting and entering, he did not gain much experience points. Including the experience points from the four Original Infant Stage bandit leaders, he only gained a total of 400,000 experience points.
It was better than nothing.
However, the assets of the bandits gave Lu Qingshan a pleasant surprise.
After all, the main purpose of being a bandit was to plunder resources. Hence, their wealth was far greater than that of an ordinary cultivator. This benefited Lu Qingshan.
Just in terms of Spirit Crystals alone, Old Vulture Elder had nine in his storage ring.
'Could it be that he's saving them for when he breaks through to Late-stage Void Refinement?'
Lu Qingshan thought to himself.
Excluding those evil cultivator artifacts, he roughly estimated the value of the pills and spiritual materials that could be sold. They were worth about six to seven Spirit Crystals.
When the time came, he would just have to find a larger cultivator shop to sell them.
With this calculation, he had earned about a million experience points from this trip.
It was no wonder that heroes loved to exterminate bandits.
As long as one's fist was strong enough, the rewards were too tempting.
'Helping the weak is indeed a good thing!' Lu Qingshan thought to himself with a smile. At the same time, his heart skipped a beat. 'I wonder how many more carps will come to snatch my food …'
Ever since he came to the Western Region, he had been acting in a high-profile manner. He did not hide his identity either. What he did was to use himself as bait.
'It's time for the cultivators of the Hades in the Western Region to take action, right?'
'Those who are willing to take the bait are not only Old Vulture Elder but also the fiendish cultivator of the Hades!'
'As for whether I'll get burned by playing with fire?'
Lu Qingshan was not too worried.
That was because as long as he could increase his strength faster than the speed at which the Hades updated information, he would be invincible.
In this aspect, if he were to claim second place, no cultivator of the current generation would dare to claim first place.
Of course, no matter what, there would always be risks.
However, this was the situation. One had to give up something to gain something.
If he did not take risks, although his strength could still increase steadily, the speed would still not reach the requirements in his heart.
And if he wanted to increase his strength faster than the timeline, he would have to take some risks.
He could not have his cake and eat it too.
…
…
Middle Heaven Region, Heaven Secrets Temple.
Dozens of rainbow lights traversed the sky.
"Senior Sister Lin Yao." Two of the rainbow lights landed in front of a mountain peak at the same time. One of them was a beautiful woman wearing the robe of a direct disciple of the Heaven Secrets Temple. She greeted the other female cultivator who was also wearing the robe of a direct disciple of the Heaven Secrets Temple.
"Junior Sister Ling Yue." Lin Yao, whose face was covered by a veil, nodded slightly. She glanced at Ling Yue, and then a trace of surprise flashed in her watery eyes. "You broke through to the Nascent Soul stage?"
Although when she entered the sect, Ling Yue was already at the peak of the Golden Elixir and breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage seemed to be natural, but to be able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age was still praiseworthy.
Ling Yue smiled and said, "Yes, I just broke through a few days ago. I have been in seclusion these days to consolidate my cultivation."
Lin Yao's eyes flashed and she praised, "Junior Sister's cultivation aptitude is indeed extraordinary."
"Thank you, Senior Sister." Ling Yue bowed slightly.
The way she called her Senior Martial Sister was also very sincere.
The Senior Sister in front of her was younger than her and was said to be in her early twenties. Her cultivation aptitude was also very ordinary. With the resources of a direct disciple, she was only at the mid-stage of the Golden Elixir.
However, who in the temple did not know that Senior Sister Lin Yao had a unique root of wisdom in the Heaven Secrets Spirit Art and her realm was extremely high?
In the Heaven Secrets Temple, the Heaven Secrets Spirit Art was justice.
To the Dao Sect, nurturing Nascent Soul cultivators was not as easy as flipping their hands, but it was definitely not a big problem. They could easily nurture hundreds of Nascent Soul cultivators just by feeding them pills.
However, to cultivate a cultivator who could master the Heaven Secrets Spirit Art was harder than ascending to the heavens!
Ling Yue boasted that her comprehension was extraordinary and she could easily master the various Spirit Arts.
However, when faced with the Heaven Secrets Spirit Art, it was as if she was reading a heavenly book. She felt that it was difficult to understand and her head hurt. Helplessly, she could only give up. Hence, she had always admired Lin Yao who mastered the Heaven Secrets Spirit Art.
Moreover …
Ling Yue always felt that this Senior Sister had a unique temperament that did not show her emotions.
Although she was younger than her, she was very mature and steady. When she called her Senior Sister, there was no psychological barrier at all.
Ling Yue frowned and tugged on Lin Yao's sleeve. Her eyes darted around and she asked softly, "Senior Sister, do you know why Master called us here at the same time? Could it be that something big has happened? "
Her Master was the vice temple master of the Heaven Secrets Temple, the temple master of the Mirror Lake Temple.
Lin Yao's Master was the other vice temple master of the Heaven Secrets Temple, the temple master of the Water Moon Temple.
As the personal disciples of the vice temple master, their statuses were extremely noble. Since they were summoned here at the same time, Ling Yue subconsciously felt that something big had happened.
Seeing Ling Yue's worried face, Lin Yao laughed softly and said, "Don't worry, Master called us here for the Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang Rolls."
"The Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang Rolls?" Ling Yue's mouth was slightly open and she was shocked.
Lin Yao nodded lightly. "Yes, my Master and Martial Uncle Mirror Lake are preparing to let us take over the naming and updating of the Four Rolls."
"Ah?!" Ling Yue was surprised and delighted.
The Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang Rolls were the face of the Heaven Secrets Temple. It was an extremely important means for the Heaven Secrets Temple to display their skills.
In layman's terms, the Four Rolls were the most important "business" of the Heaven Secrets Temple.
Letting them take over the matters of the Four Rankings meant that their status and resource allocation would rise to another level. Most importantly, it also meant that the monastery valued them highly.
"Let's go, don't let Master and the others wait for too long." Lin Yao smiled.
The two of them turned around and went straight to the Heaven Secrets Temple on the mountain peak.
When they rushed into the Heaven Secrets Temple, they saw that the walls of the Heaven Secrets Temple, which were hundreds of feet tall, were actually made into scripture cabinets. Countless jade slips were displayed in them.
The jade slips recorded many major events that happened in the seven regions of the human race.
This was the largest intelligence vault of the human race.
Hundreds of Heaven Secrets Temple cultivators were walking through it, sorting and categorizing all kinds of information.
Under the guidance of one of the Heaven Secrets Temple cultivators, Lin Yao and Ling Yue went straight to the core room at the top of the temple.
The moment they entered the room, they saw four jade walls that were like water curtains. There were many words and light engravings on them.
In the center of the room, there was a huge transparent ball that seemed to be made of glass.
In the ball, there was a huge map of the terrain.
Lin Yao compared it with the map and immediately understood.
Wasn't this the seven regions of the human race?
The scenery in the ball was very detailed. There were mountains, lands, lakes, rivers, plateaus, deserts … All kinds of terrains were scattered. It was as if the mountains and rivers of the human race's territory had been shrunk thousands of times and turned into a part of the world that was placed in the ball.
This was the location of the Four Rolls that countless cultivators in the world paid attention to and gossiped about.
Inside the room, the beautiful Water Moon Monastery Master and the kind Mirror Lake Monastery Master had been waiting for a long time.
"Master," Lin Yao said respectfully.
"Master!" Ling Yue called out.
"You should know. I called the two of you here today to prepare to hand over the Four Rolls to the two of you." The Water Moon Temple Master looked at the two beautiful female disciples with different temperaments and said with a smile.
"I know. Senior Apprentice Sister Lin Yao told me before we came," Ling Yue replied obediently.
"Then are the two of you willing to take on this responsibility?" The Water Moon Temple Master asked again.
"Of course," Lin Yao and Ling Yue replied in unison.
"As long as you're willing." The Water Moon Temple Master nodded. "Then let me explain the details of the Four Rolls to you …"
"This is the Sky Inspecting Mirror." She waved her Taoist robe, and the map of the terrain in the large glass ball immediately flew out and floated in front of the two of them.
On the map, there were many areas that were emitting golden light and constantly flashing.
The Water Moon Temple Master extended her finger and pointed at one of the areas emitting golden light.
A tall figure appeared, and there was an introduction beside the figure.
"Fourth year and fourth month of Tianyuan. After Yu Xu of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Court successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he went to the Da Xia Kingdom's Soul-Cleansing Pool to cultivate."
"It's Yu Xu. He's also at the Nascent Soul stage!" Ling Yue saw that it was an acquaintance from the Seven Regions Dao Discussion and was slightly excited.
"The golden light that appears on the Sky Inspecting Mirror is the latest information that the temple has collected since the last Four Rolls were named. What you need to do is to integrate this information." The Water Moon Temple Master nodded slightly and pointed at the four jade walls. "Then, compare the previous rankings recorded on these jade walls to update the Four Rolls …"
.....
After a long while, the Water Moon Temple Master finished explaining everything.
"Do the two of you understand?"
Lin Yao and Ling Yue looked at each other and nodded. "We understand."
"But …" Ling Yue hesitated. "Senior Apprentice Sister and I are only at the Nascent Soul stage and the Golden Elixir Daoist stage. Forget about the Yellow Roll. Can we make the Heaven, Earth, and Black Rolls …"
The Water Moon Temple Master smiled and comforted her. "There's not much connection between the two.
The naming of the Four Lists was actually a matter of gathering and consolidating information.
It's only important because of the huge implications. It doesn't have much to do with one's cultivation base.
This can be done by Foundation Establishment cultivators and Body Integration cultivators. Naturally, the two of you won't have a problem. "
"You just need to take note that there's a very important principle in the ranking of the Four Rolls. That is, heroes are judged based on their achievements. You mustn't be influenced by your own subjective wishes." The Mirror Lake Temple Master added, "Also, Water Moon and I will look after the Four Rolls for the past few times.
Once you've gotten the hang of it, we'll hand it over to the two of you. Hence, the two of you don't have to worry too much about making mistakes. "
"Ling Yue, do you have any other questions?" The Mirror Lake Temple Master looked at her precious disciple and glared at her.
"No more questions." Ling Yue raised her nose slightly and snorted.
Her master was complaining that she was not as steady as Senior Apprentice Sister Lin Yao.
Ling Yue was well aware of this.
"Give it a try," said the Mirror Lake Temple Master with a smile.
Ling Yue nodded vigorously. Her gaze wandered excitedly around the Mirror of Heaven Surveying.
"Hmm? These two areas flashing with golden light are so close to each other. Did something big happen?" Ling Yue suddenly noticed the bright spots and subconsciously stretched out her finger to point at the two areas.
Two flashes of light appeared. Two pieces of information quickly appeared in front of the four people present.
First, they were shocked to discover that the two figures in the light were actually the same person!
It was a young male cultivator wearing a black Daoist robe embroidered with a dark golden dragon. He was standing with his hand on his sword.
The Daoist robe was the uniform of the Sword Sect disciples.
As for the young sword cultivator, he stood upright. His clear and handsome face had delicate features and majestic phoenix eyes. An unruly, carefree, and unrestrained temperament assaulted the face from this still image.
Two lines of text flashed beside the still image.
"On the 21st day of the fourth month of the fourth year of the Tian Yuan Era, Sword Sect disciple Lu Qingshan fought 'Jade Wave Sword' Qian Liu on the Fengling River of the Western Region's Bai Province. He used three swords. Two swords defeated Qian Liu and one sword broke the tide of the Fengling River."
"On the 27th day of the fourth month of the fourth year of the Tian Yuan Era, Sword Sect disciple Lu Qingshan was intercepted by the Mogao Desert Bandits outside the Giant Bear City of the Western Region's Mogao Desert.
As the main force, he joined forces with Jue Zhen of the Dragon Elephant Chicken Soup Temple and personally killed the mid-stage Void Refinement realm 'Old Vulture', the late-stage Nascent Soul realm bandit leader 'Desert Evil Monk', 'Nether Evil Blade', and 'Blood Soul'. "
"It's Lu Qingshan!" Ling Yue exclaimed in surprise and joy.
After her excitement, Ling Yue suddenly realized that she had lost her composure. She stuck out her tongue and quickly retracted her expression. She carefully glanced at the other three people.
"Did I see wrongly?" In the next instant, Ling Yue was slightly startled.
This was because she realized that Senior Apprentice Sister Lin Yao's eyes, which were usually as calm as a deep valley, were surging with extremely complicated emotions.
Moreover, those emotions seemed a little familiar to her.
"Senior Apprentice Sister, do you know this Lu Qingshan as well?"
"Junior Apprentice Sister, are you familiar with Lu Qingshan?"
Two voices, one cold and the other crisp, sounded at the same time.
Lin Yao and Ling Yue were like two carps fighting for food. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with caution and curiosity.
