Their gazes met for a brief moment, and then they parted as if they had been electrocuted.
Obviously, under such circumstances, it was not the right time to discuss Lu Qingshan.
The Temple Master of the Mirror Lake Temple had just said that the most important thing in determining the rankings of the four lists was to be objective and to isolate all subjective emotions.
The two of them, who were most likely the future leaders of the Heavenly Secrets Temple, instantly restrained their expressions, as if nothing had happened.
This was a young woman's talent in certain matters.
Lu Qingshan …
This name caused ripples in Lin Yao's heart, who had cultivated her state of mind to be as calm as a lake.
The scenes from four years ago unavoidably surged in her mind again.
He had saved her life twice and sent her to the Heavenly Secrets Temple. It could be said that everything she had today was because she had met Lu Qingshan in the small Zhenjiang Mansion.
He was a sword cultivator who was younger than her, but she had subconsciously developed feelings of dependence on him.
Her calmness today was partly due to her personality, and partly due to Lu Qingshan's influence. This included the short period of time she had spent with Lu Qingshan, and the name of the "divine ability" that she still found difficult to pronounce.
As she came into contact with more and more things, the Zhenjiang Lu Family, which had been a colossus in her eyes back then, was gradually not worth mentioning.
Logically speaking, Lu Qingshan, who was born in the Lu Family, would gradually lose his brilliance, and eventually become the most ordinary of dust.
However, the truth was that the admiration she had for Lu Qingshan in her heart did not fade with time. Instead, it multiplied with each passing day.
She could not imagine how Lu Qingshan, who was born in the Zhenjiang Lu Family, could stand out in the Dao Discussion Grand Competition, which gathered the prodigies of the seven regions, and appear in front of her again today in such a manner.
And the promise she had made back then.
"I will cultivate well and strive to repay Young Master Lu's kindness as soon as possible."
The sense of urgency in her heart suddenly rose uncontrollably at this moment.
It's too slow.
When can I reach the Nascent Soul stage?
Today, she had grown a lot in the Tianji Temple. After broadening her horizons, she had a vague understanding of what her body constitution could do.
As long as he reached the Nascent Soul realm, it would be a completely different world.
After the ripples in his heart spread, he quickly regained his composure.
Calm as a mirror.
"Sword Sect's Lu Qingshan can already enter the Yellow Roll." Lin Yao's gaze carefully compared with the jade wall that recorded the Yellow Roll, and she spoke with certainty.
"This guy is really powerful!" Ling Yue glanced at the jade wall and agreed with her senior sister's judgment. She couldn't help but sigh, "The cultivators on the Yellow Board are at least at the late stage of the Nascent Soul Stage. He is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Stage. How did he do it …"
An early Nascent Soul Realm cultivator defeated a mid Void Refinement Realm cultivator.
Worship, worship, worship, worship!
Of course, in addition to admiration, Ling Yue also felt a sense of defeat.
That was what she had told Lu Qingshan that day.
"The next time we meet, I'll definitely make you see me in a different light!"
That was her little goal.
But now, he realized that the gap between him and Lu Qingshan seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
But I've obviously worked very hard.
Ling Yue felt a little wronged.
Don't you think I'm stupid like this?
What should I do?
My little goal, it's so flustered.
"However," Ling Yue glanced at Zhou Yuan, who was at the end of the Yellow Board and happened to be at the 100th place, and muttered, "At that time, he should be even more flustered than my little goal …"
Once Lu Qingshan entered the Yellow Board, Zhou Yuan, who just happened to be at the bottom of the Yellow Board, would naturally fall from the list and give up his position to Lu Qingshan.
He was suppressed by Lu Qingshan in the Seven Regions Dao Discussion, and he would still be suppressed in the Yellow Board Battle.
This feeling must be very annoying!
Ling Yue was extremely mischievous.
However, senior sister seemed to know this guy?
They must know each other, and their relationship must be deep!
Although she didn't have much contact with senior sister Lin Yao, she had a good understanding of Lin Yao's calm temperament.
However, she clearly saw the complicated emotions in senior sister's eyes just now.
This Lu Qingshan could make senior sister have such complicated emotions. How could their relationship be ordinary?
She would go out and ask senior sister later to see what was going on.
Another flame called "Eight Trigrams" burned in Ling Yue's heart.
No one knew why, in just a few breaths of time, the emotions in Ling Yue's heart could change so many times without any sense of disharmony.
That was why there was a saying that women were the most magical creatures in the world.
.....
.....
Western Region Hades Main Palace.
The stone door was closed, and there was no light in the dark room.
Several terrifying phantoms appeared, and a black aura rose behind the phantoms.
Although they were only phantoms, their aura was still terrifying.
"Mansion Master Yulei."
"Mansion Master Yulei."
The phantoms on the field all respectfully called out to the most terrifying phantoms on the main seat.
"Da Xia Kingdom didn't know that we Demons had the ability to deconstruct human cultivation methods back then during the Seven Realms Dao Symposium. They rashly took out Da Xia Kingdom's sutra as a reward for the Seven Realms Dao Symposium.
For the Da Xia Kingdom's sutra, we used a spy under the command of the Shentu Mansion Master. We intended to seize the opportunity to obtain the Da Xia Kingdom's sutra.
Later, due to some accidents, the Shentu Mansion Master had to cut off his tail to survive. In the end, the Sword Sect's Lu Qingshan won the championship. "The demon called Mansion Master Yulei glanced at the other phantoms and went straight to the point.
"Similarly, the Da Xia Kingdom's sutra also fell into Lu Qingshan's hands.
As far as I know, Lu Qingshan chose the Da Xia Kingdom's sutra, the Void Refinement Chapter. "
"Void Refinement … According to the human cultivation system, the Void Refinement is the condensation of the Dao Seed, which happens to be the beginning of the Great Dao …" another ferocious-looking phantom of Demons murmured.
"In the entire Da Xia Kingdom's sutra, the Mahayana Chapter is the most valuable in deconstruction, followed by the Void Refinement Chapter.
So, although it's not the best choice, if we can obtain the Da Xia Kingdom's sutra, we'll be more confident in defeating Dao Ancestor Xia when we launch the final battle, "Mansion Master Yulei said in a deep voice.
"Mansion Master, do you mean that this Lu Qingshan has appeared in our Western Realms?" Everyone present was a cunning old fox. Although Mansion Master Yulei didn't say it directly, after a few words, they all understood that Mansion Master Yulei must have summoned them for this meeting because of Lu Qingshan.
"Yes." Mansion Master Yulei said slowly, "According to the information I have, this Lu Qingshan appeared in the Western Realms' Mo Gao two days ago.
After killing the local bandit, the Middle-stage Void Refinement 'Old Vulture', he went deeper into Mo Gao for some unknown reason.
And this Da Xia Kingdom's sutra is most likely with him. As long as we kill him, we'll have a chance to obtain the Da Xia Kingdom's sutra. "
"He killed a Middle-stage Void Refinement cultivator?" Someone noticed this and was shocked.
"Two years ago, during the Seven Realms Dao Symposium, wasn't this Lu Qingshan only at the late-stage of the Golden Elixir? What's his cultivation base now? How can he kill a Middle-stage Void Refinement cultivator? "someone asked directly.
"He's only an Early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator." Mansion Master Yulei's face was illusory, and his expression couldn't be seen clearly. "However, this Lu Qingshan's combat strength is extraordinary. With his Early-stage Nascent Soul cultivation base, he can actually defeat a Middle-stage Void Refinement cultivator."
"This Lu Qingshan is actually this strong?!" Even the Demons with astonishing cultivation bases were shocked when they heard Mansion Master Yulei's explanation.
"Although it sounds exaggerated, it's not outrageous," Mansion Master Yulei said slowly. "According to Lu Qingshan's performance during the Seven Realms Dao Symposium, one of his natal swords is very likely to be a Pseudo Dao Artifact."
He was talking about the Dragon Sparrow.
"A Pseudo Dao Artifact!" Some of the Demons of Hades gasped.
Although it was a Pseudo Dao Artifact, it was still extremely terrifying no matter how one looked at it.
"No wonder …" another Demon muttered.
With the power of a Pseudo Dao Artifact, it was indeed not outrageous for a Nascent Soul cultivator to kill a Void Refinement cultivator.
In the early stage of cultivation, a Pseudo Dao Artifact could completely close the gap between the cultivation bases of a whole realm.
This was because Pseudo Dao Artifacts were countless times rarer and more precious than Void Refinement cultivators.
"Have the Five Prefectures of Hades branch palaces near the Mogao Desert attack together. Send people out and station them in the cities around the Mogao Desert.
Once Lu Qingshan leaves the Mogao Desert and appears in the surrounding cities, immediately launch a siege, "Mansion Master Yulei decided.
"Five Prefectures of Hades branch palaces?!" Someone was shocked and puzzled. "Mansion Master, do we really have to mobilize so many people? Isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill? "
Five Prefectures of Hades branch palaces. What a terrifying lineup!
Even if there were 10 Lu Hongshan or Lu Huangshan, they would be able to defeat them all, let alone one Lu Qingshan.
Was this necessary?
They could understand the importance of playing it safe.
The problem was that the price was too high. Once the Hades cultivators attacked, their identities would be exposed. They could only be abandoned.
In order to set up these identities, the Hades had spent an unimaginable amount of resources and time.
"Is it worth it to abandon the Five Prefectures of Hades branch palaces just for one Lu Qingshan?" a shadow asked.
"You have to understand that this time, it's not just for one Lu Qingshan …" Mansion Master Yulei's gaze was cold. He paused for a moment, and then said decisively, "It's for Daoist Master Xia!"
"If we fail to attack this Lu Qingshan this time, it'll be difficult to attack him again and steal the Da Xia Kingdom's scripture.
Hence, we can't afford to fail this time!
The Five Prefectures are working together to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator. If something goes wrong, what's the point of keeping these trash around? "Mansion Master Yulei's voice gradually turned cold, and his tone gradually lowered.
When the others heard this, their hearts tightened, and their expressions turned serious. They understood what was going on.
If that was the case, it was indeed not making a mountain out of a molehill.
Daoist Master Xia's reputation was like thunder to their ears. To the Demons, he was like a demon that they could not get rid of.
Back then, if it weren't for Daoist Master Xia's sudden appearance, the Sky Dome Realm would have already belonged to the Demons for 20,000 years.
Although Daoist Master Xia had been in hiding for 20,000 years, his remaining might still intimidated the Demons, causing them to be extremely fearful.
As long as there was a glimmer of hope that could help them kill Daoist Master Xia, it was worth it for them to pay a huge price to fight for it.
What was a mere Five Prefectures Hades Palace worth?
You can't catch a wolf without risking your children.
This time, they directly gritted their teeth and threw out five children.
…
…
Lu Qingshan naturally didn't expect that because the Hades were determined to get the Da Xia Kingdom's scripture, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, the Hades had mobilized far more manpower than they should have. It didn't make sense, and it was also beyond his expectations.
After all, he could only be considered a prophet, not omniscient.
In his previous life, the Hades had stolen the Da Xia Kingdom's scripture and deconstructed it. It had always been hidden under the waves, and no one knew about it.
And the repercussions of this matter had yet to erupt when he transmigrated.
Naturally, he knew nothing about this matter.
Because he didn't know anything, he misjudged the ruthlessness of the Hades.
He only wanted to catch two carps.
In the end, the ones that took the bait were a group of piranhas.
.....
Smoke rose from the desert, and the sun set over the long river.
This was an abandoned land.
Under the blood-red afterglow of the setting sun, in a narrow canyon, on the broken yellow sand, a run-down village stood.
This was a tribe called "Sheep". Like shuttles, their roots were deeply rooted in the deepest part of the High Desert, and they were incomparably tenacious.
It was hard to imagine how a weak tribe like "Sheep" could survive in such a difficult place for so long.
A little girl, as black and thin as iron, dressed in a woolen coat, with hair like withered grass, was carrying a rattan basket that was bigger than her and walking back to the camp.
In the rattan basket, there were strands of weeds with light purple stamens.
The girl didn't know the name of this weed. She only knew that not only the leaves of this weed could be fed to the sheep, even the roots hidden underground had a sweet taste, and the sheep loved to eat them.
So the people in the village called this grass Sheep Grass.
The girl was called Yang Qing 'er, a native of the "Sheep" tribe.
When she was two years old, her parents, in order to protect the tribe's sheep, fought the wolf demon and sacrificed themselves.
After that, she grew up in the tribe leader's house.
This was a very rare and common thing in the tribe, because there was a large group of orphans in the tribe leader's house alone.
Occasionally, when she slept at night, she would look at the starry sky and think about what the outside world would be like.
But it was just a thought.
Rumble!
A deafening sound of thunder came out of nowhere, like a thunderclap.
In the future, such a loud thunder was enough to scare a child into hiding under the blanket, and even frighten an adult woman into screaming. But it was completely ignored by the thin and weak Yang Qing 'er.
It was not that she was brave, but she had heard the thunder for seven or eight years since she was born, and had long been accustomed to it. What was there to be afraid of?
"But, in recent years, the Thunder God's anger seems to be more and more frequent," Yang Qing 'er murmured.
In the early years, there would be such a loud thunderstorm almost every two or three days.
But recently, it seemed that she could hear it three or four times a day.
She carefully looked at the depths of the canyon that she could not see the end of, quickened her pace, and hurried to the camp.
The tribe leader's grandfather said that the thunder came from the depths of the canyon, and had existed for a long, long time.
It was very likely that there was a Thunder God living there.
She was a little curious, but did not have the slightest intention to find out.
Even survival was difficult, who had the time to study this?
Carrying a large bamboo basket, Yang Qing 'er, who was hurriedly walking, suddenly braked, and the bamboo basket shook violently, almost knocking her down.
Because, in front of her, there was a stranger.
It was a good-looking young man with a kind smile.
He was really good-looking. Compared to the most handsome and most capable Brother Black Sheep in the tribe, it was like … like … like the moon and the little stars next to it.
The man's clothes were very strange, completely different from their clothes, but they were very delicate.
Even the woman with the best needlework in the tribe could not make such delicate clothes!
Yang Qing 'er pondered in her heart, and shyly looked at the man.
The man, like a magic trick, reached out and pulled out a piece of delicate 'food'.
It was round, a bit like the moon in the sky, and the sweet smell came to her face, making Yang Qing 'er subconsciously swallow her saliva.
She had never eaten this kind of thing, and did not even know what it was, but she was sure that it must be delicious.
Because it smelled so good, just smelling it made people swallow their saliva.
The man handed over the pastry, "For you."
"For me?" The little girl was stunned.
The man nodded, and said affirmatively, "For you."
Yang Qing 'er hesitated, but in the end, she could not resist the temptation. She carefully rubbed her hands on the corner of her clothes, and carefully took the piece of food that she had never seen before.
She was not willing to eat it, and holding it in her hand was like holding a hot potato, uneasy and flustered.
"Don't be afraid, I just want to ask, how much do you know about the situation there?" The man pointed behind Yang Qing 'er.
That was the depths of the canyon, where the Thunder God lived.
