Apart from the cultivators from the Western Region, most of the other cultivators who were watching the battle breathed a sigh of relief.
They looked at the cultivators from the Western Region with mischievous eyes.
"Look, the unlucky guy is there."
On the Heart-Nourishing Platform, a man in a gray robe walked out of the group of cultivators from the Western Region.
His expression was indifferent and his eyes were firm. He did not show any dissatisfaction or frustration because he was the first to fight.
"This is' Bloody Killing Saber 'Ye Mo, ranked 27th on the Yellow Board. He is a disciple of the Dragon-Elephant Bodhi Academy and the third person after Yan Fei and Sha Manzi.
He is a body cultivator of the purest martial arts type. He has mastered the Wood Burning Saber Technique and uses a middle-grade celestial weapon, the Bloody Killing Saber. That's how he got his name. "
Among the cultivators from the Middle Spirit Region, a male cultivator in a green Taoist robe whispered to the handsome cultivator beside him.
Then he curled his lips. "He's just a barbarian. If I fight with him, I have plenty of ways to kill him."
The handsome cultivator was' Ghost Sect Venomous Insect 'Zhu Cong, the first person among the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Spirit Huan Sect.
Zhu Cong was ranked fourth on the Yellow Board 15 years ago. Later, he had been in seclusion in the sect, but even so, his ranking had not changed.
It wasn't until Lu Qingshan's sudden appearance that he took a step back.
But after not fighting for fifteen years, no one could predict how strong Zhu Cong had become.
Zhu Cong glanced at the calm Ye Mo and said slowly, "Don't underestimate others."
The green Taoist robe male cultivator was' Three-headed Snake 'Hu Jiao, ranked 56th on the Yellow Board.
He did not refute Zhu Cong, but his expression showed that he did not take Zhu Cong's advice seriously.
"Ji Chuan and Lu Qingshan from the Eastern Region are not here … Is there something special?" Zhu Cong asked again.
He had been in seclusion in the sect for a long time, so he did not know much about these things. Instead, he needed his junior brother to explain.
"I've seen Ji Chuan before. He is indeed extraordinary. But I have never heard of Lu Qingshan before I went into seclusion," Zhu Cong said softly.
"Lu Qingshan is a person who suddenly rose to fame in the past two years. It's normal that Senior Martial Brother hasn't heard of him.
As for why the two of them didn't come, I don't know either.
But thinking about it carefully, Ji Chuan hadn't appeared in front of the public for two years, and Lu Qingshan had also disappeared for a year. It could be considered a forewarning.
However, this competition is so important that even you were called out from your closed-door training by the sect master. The two of them must have encountered some special situation that they couldn't get away from. Otherwise, they wouldn't be absent from this competition. "
Hu She paused for a moment and continued, "Besides these two, as a Dao Sect, the Sword Sect actually only has one cultivator on the Yellow Rankings left, Frost Sword Xue Hanfeng, who's ranked 10th. The Sword Sect is really filled with talents."
"There's no need to ridicule them," Zhu Cong was very cold as he commented objectively, "The Sword Sect has always walked the path of the elite. They have no more than two hundred Nascent Soul cultivators, but they have three Yellow Board cultivators.
Moreover, all of them are in the top ten of the Yellow Board. Who else in the other Taoist sects, including our Spirit Huan Sect, can do this? "
…
In another corner, among the cultivators of the West Region.
"Senior Brother Yan Fei, it's such a pity that Ji Chuan of the Sword Sect didn't come. I originally wanted to see you defeat him and win the honor of the first place of the Yellow Board for our Dragon Elephant Sect."
"It's just an empty title. Besides, I'm about to break through to the Void Refinement realm. The Yellow Board can't accommodate me." Yan Fei glanced at Ye Mo, who had left the team, and replied casually, "This time, it's just right for me to leave this Snail Daoist Sect in our West Region before I break through to the Void Refinement realm."
The six regions had already communicated with each other. Therefore, Ye Mo, who was the first to fight, waited quietly for a long time. However, no one took the initiative to challenge him.
Seeing this, a gloomy look appeared in Xi Xiang's eyes.
He was well aware that they were waiting to make an example out of the Eastern Divine Region.
Sure enough, after a while, King Qing Mei announced, "Since no cultivator took the initiative to challenge him, Ye Mo will now choose one person to fight."
Ye Mo's gaze swept across the entire place and finally stopped at the camp of the cultivators from the Eastern Divine Region.
He cupped his hands at the cultivators of the East Region and said loudly, "I've heard a lot about the 'Seven Star Hand' Hou Tonghai. Please enlighten me."
'Seven Star Hand' Hou Tonghai was not a disciple of the Sword Sect. Instead, he was the strongest Nascent Soul cultivator in the Constellation Sect, a top sect in the East Region.
He was a tall and thin cultivator.
Seeing that his name was called, Hou Tonghai, who had already expected it, felt his eyelids twitch. He walked forward without saying a word.
The two of them stood in front of the 36 Mountain Sea Pillars. King Qing Mei stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the two of them.
"After the two of you enter the realm, do your best. Leave the rest to me," King Qing Mei said slowly.
This was the confidence of a cultivator at the Eighth Stage. At King Qing Mei's level, it would be a joke if he couldn't even control the battle between two Nascent Soul cultivators.
Hou Tonghai and Ye Mo bowed to King Qing Mei and thanked him.
King Qing Mei nodded slightly and flicked his finger. A spiritual light shot out and landed in the center of the 36 Mountain Sea Pillars.
In the next moment, the Dao patterns on one of the Mountain Sea Pillars lit up.
"The realm for this battle is the Yellow Sand Realm. The two of you, get ready!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Dao patterns on the Mountain Sea Pillar immediately turned into a spiritual light and sucked in 'Bloody Saber' Ye Mo and 'Seven Star Hand' Hou Tonghai.
After that, ripples appeared on the many jade walls erected in the surroundings, and scenes appeared from within.
The entire Yellow Sand Realm was displayed on the walls.
This was a desert realm with a radius of almost 50 kilometers.
As for where the two of them landed, it was a simulation of the most common form of battle between cultivators — random!
What was unfortunate was that the two of them landed less than five kilometers away from each other.
In other words, the two of them did not have much time to familiarize themselves with the terrain. The battle was about to start.
Without any formalities, Hou Tonghai, the 'Seven Star Hand' Hou Tonghai, directly exploded with anger and frustration.
Starlight flickered in his hands. There were seven bright stars in the shape of a spoon. They were extremely dazzling.
This was a branch of the Star Intent, the Big Dipper Intent.
Using his hand as a spoon, Hou Tonghai leaped into the air and rushed toward Ye Mo.
Ye Mo looked at Hou Tonghai with a smile on his face. With a clang, a huge red heavy sword appeared in his hand.
'Bloody Saber!'
As a body cultivator, how could Ye Mo be afraid of close combat?
Seeing Hou Tonghai take the initiative to rush over, he was more than happy to do so. He simply stood still with his saber.
One of them rushed forward as fast as lightning, while the other waited as motionless as a mountain.
In just an instant, the two of them closed the distance between them.
In the next moment, Seven Star flew out, and three layers of golden light appeared on Ye Mo's body.
It was the Third Transformation of Buddhism, a top-notch defensive technique.
Ye Mo, who was waiting for the exhausted Seven Star, finally moved. He held the heavy Bloody Saber and slashed at the incoming Seven Star.
Saber techniques focused on momentum, but in Ye Mo's hand, the Bloody Saber was as light as a sword, creating afterimages.
Dragon Form Martial Technique Ability: Wood Burning Saber Technique.
Once mastered, one could use this saber technique to slash a spiritual wood 81 times. The blade wouldn't damage the wood at all, but the hidden force in the saber could ignite the spiritual wood. Hence, the name.
Therefore, this saber technique was famous for its speed and hidden force.
Clang! Clang!
Clang! Deafening sounds of collision rang out.
The two of them exchanged dozens of moves in an instant and then passed by each other.
Although the Seven Star in Hou Tonghai's hand was still flickering, he could feel that the blood in his body seemed to be burning. It was very uncomfortable. Obviously, he had been injured by the hidden force in the Wood Burning Saber.
On the other hand, Ye Mo's three layers of golden light were as stable as a bell. He was really unscathed.
The gap between a Dao Sect and a top-notch sect was not so easy to cross.
Hou Tonghai gritted his teeth. His eyes were full of stubbornness. He was unwilling to admit defeat.
He controlled the Seven Star in his hand to fly out and revolved around his body like a constellation. Soon after, he carried the constellation and collided with Ye Mo again.
Clang! Clang!
Two figures crossed each other in the Karma Tower and then stood with their backs facing each other.
A wound so deep that bone could be seen appeared on Lu Qingshan's arm.
Blood flowed out from the wound and flowed down his wrist to the hilt of the Dragon Sparrow Sword. Then, it slid down to the blade.
"Young Master …" Qin Yitian's heart ached.
Lu Qingshan was silent. He slowly turned around and looked at the evil elephant that was also standing with a sword.
Tenth Origin True Venerate.
The Tenth Origin True Venerate whose strength had been increased several times.
Tenth Origin True Venerate was laughing at Lu Qingshan. "Kekekeke —"
Lu Qingshan's face was as pale as paper. His eyes were bloodshot.
The prolonged battle had pushed his mind to its limit.
Even so, he had no intention of backing down.
Lu Qingshan stomped his foot and charged toward Tenth Origin True Venerate.
Sword Qi burst out from the Dragon Sparrow, dragging a long tail light. It clashed with Tenth Origin True Venerate's sword, creating a deafening sound.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had exchanged more than ten rounds of close combat.
Slashing, slashing, stabbing, and flicking, they used all kinds of techniques.
Lu Qingshan's advantage was in his ability to predict the future. He was almost omniscient in close combat, and his sword techniques were exquisite.
Tenth Origin True Venerate's advantage was in the Karma Tower. His strength far exceeded Lu Qingshan's.
Lu Qingshan could feel his disadvantage in this battle. However, although this evil elephant world was a simulation, it only showed a small part of it. The environment was too narrow for him to use his flying sword.
He had no choice but to use his sword to fight.
Tenth Origin True Venerate charged forward with his sword. His aura was overbearing.
Lu Qingshan's pupils contracted. He slashed out with his sword again. At the same time, he activated the true spirit in his sea of consciousness.
The green snake was awakened, but the price was that his divine sense was depleted.
In the next instant, the Dragon Sparrow Sword spat out a ray of sword qi.
The sword qi moved with the wind, forming a green snake that charged toward Tenth Origin True Venerate.
Tsk tsk tsk!
Tenth Origin True Venerate took a step forward. His sword burned with a murderous aura as it slashed toward the green snake with even more ferocity.
This sword was as fast as the wind.
The green snake was blocked by this sword. It flowed violently to the sides, unable to affect him at all.
He was so powerful that he was able to block the green snake with his sword!
"You're too weak to me now. Tsk tsk tsk tsk!" Tenth Origin True Venerate cackled sinisterly.
Lu Qingshan felt a little helpless.
At this point, he could no longer fight. This was because Tenth Origin True Venerate's strength was not something a Nascent Soul cultivator could handle. It was already very impressive that he could hold on until now.
Could it be … that he had no choice but to use that move?
Lu Qingshan was a little hesitant.
"If Young Master doesn't want to use the technique, then don't use it …" Qin Yitian seemed to have seen through Lu Qingshan's hesitation. Her crisp voice sounded in his mind.
Yes, it was very easy for Lu Qingshan to leave the Karma Tower. He just had to use the Dragon Sparrow Technique.
After all, the evil signs in the Karma Tower originated from a single technique.
However, his goal was to gain something from the Karma Tower. Hence, he was unwilling to leave the Karma Tower like this.
However, if he really had no other choice, he could use the technique to leave the tower. It was better than having his mind damaged.
"But Young Master, you must know that the technique is also a Karma Sword," Qin Yitian reminded him.
Lu Qingshan shuddered.
"Young Master, go take a look at the karma thread that's connected to your evil cause," Qin Yitian continued.
A warmth came from the Dragon Sparrow Sword's hilt.
In the next instant, the world before Lu Qingshan's eyes changed. It lost its color and turned into black and white.
But on the Tenth Origin True Venerate's body, there were two threads of different colors that appeared on his body.
A thick blood-red thread connected him to the Tenth Origin True Venerate.
There was also a much thinner black thread that connected Tenth Origin True Venerate to the void around him.
"This is … a karma thread …" Lu Qingshan's eyes were slightly dazed.
This was the second time he saw a karma thread.
The first time was when he sank his mind into the jade leaf. That time, he saw his own karma thread.
This time, it came from Tenth Origin True Venerate's evil sign. It came from a technique.
Techniques had karma threads too?
Of course they did. After all, techniques were not created out of thin air.
In this instant, Lu Qingshan suddenly understood the secret of the Dragon Sparrow Technique.
The Technique Breaker technique did not sever the technique, but the karma thread of the technique.
Once the karma thread was severed, the technique would naturally dissipate.
Lu Qingshan's eyes were sharp. He raised his right hand.
He swung the Dragon Sparrow Sword toward the thick blood-red thread that connected him to Tenth Origin True Venerate's evil sign.
There was no sound, but Lu Qingshan felt a huge force coming from the blood-red karma thread.
The web between his thumb and index finger went numb. The Dragon Sparrow Sword was repelled, but the karma thread did not budge.
How could a karma thread be severed so easily?
The Dragon Sparrow Technique's power lay in its ability to sever all techniques.
This was a Dao Artifact's Technique. How could a Nascent Soul cultivator like him do this?
While Lu Qingshan was in a daze, Tenth Origin True Venerate had already pounced toward him.
He would not give Lu Qingshan the chance to study it slowly.
Lu Qingshan raised his eyelids slightly and was about to make a move.
However, when his gaze swept past the much thinner karma thread behind Tenth Origin True Venerate, his heart skipped a beat.
'I can't sever the thick karma thread, but … what about the thin one?'
Tenth Origin True Venerate swung his sword. Lu Qingshan dodged to the side and dodged the sword. At the same time, he swung the Dragon Sparrow Sword upward.
Tenth Origin True Venerate was about to block with his sword, but he realized that Lu Qingshan's sword was ridiculously crooked.
"You can even make it crooked!" Tenth Origin True Venerate laughed proudly. "Kekekeke …"
The laughter stopped abruptly. The thin black thread behind Tenth Origin True Venerate was destroyed by Lu Qingshan's sword!
The destruction of the black threads triggered a series of chain reactions.
Tenth Origin True Venerate's body paused for a moment before it trembled violently.
"I told you, you'll die faster if you keep laughing like this." Lu Qingshan asked softly, "Why don't you believe me?"
"Pfft!"
Tenth Origin True Venerate finally exploded under the trembling and dissipated into mist.
.....
"Comprehension of Concept!" Your Karma True Meaning has risen to the Unity realm! "
"Your ability has risen! Your Primordial Spirit has risen! (Spiritual Sense + 200) "
"Your Spiritual Sense's upper limit has exceeded 2100. Your Primordial Spirit realm has broken through to the middle Defense realm (22253000)!"
"You've obtained a new mystical ability from the Karma True Meaning: Return to Nothingness!"
Karma True Meaning (Unity realm): Mystical True Meaning's origin true meaning. It possesses many mystical abilities. Mystical abilities mastered: Precognition, Return to Nothingness.
Mystical ability, Return to Nothingness …
After activation, the user will know the many karma threads formed by the Dao technique and can choose the weakest one to destroy.
Once the karma thread is destroyed, the Dao technique will either weaken or dissipate. It's called Return to Nothingness.
"Young Master, you've succeeded!" Qin Yitian was elated.
Lu Qingshan stroked the Dragon Sparrow Sword's hilt and said softly, "So you're the reason why I sensed some of the Karma True Meaning's spiritual light on Dragon Island?"
"That should be the case," Qin Yitian said softly and proudly. "Even the peach blossom gave you some insights into the Immortality True Meaning. How could the Dragon Sparrow be weaker than it?"
Sword cultivation and the Natal Sword complemented each other.
Humans nurtured swords, and swords nurtured humans.
After refining the Three-Foot Blade as his Natal Sword, the Hidden Small Sword gained some sharpness out of nowhere.
However, the Dragon Sparrow, as a Dao Tool, did not give him any benefits.
Lu Qingshan had wondered about this before, but he did not voice it out. After all, how could he despise Qin Yitian?
Also, why was it so easy for him to comprehend part of the Karma True Meaning on Dragon Island? After that, it was so difficult for him to make any progress.
Now, all his questions had been answered.
The reason why he was able to comprehend part of the Karma True Meaning so easily was because of the Dragon Sparrow's gift.
Of course, a gift was a gift. As mentioned earlier, intent was not something that could be achieved overnight.
For example, Qin Yitian only gave him a gentle nudge this time.
The main reason why Lu Qingshan was able to complete the advancement of the Karma True Meaning was that he had accumulated enough. The time had simply come.
Otherwise, with Qin Yitian's pure heart and desire for Lu Qingshan's well-being, why would she wait until Lu Qingshan was at the end of his rope before giving him advice?
