As soon as he entered the Origin Realm, an ancient Divine Will surged into Lu Qingshan's mind.
This was an introduction to the Origin Realm.
The Origin Realm wasn't actually a small realm. It was a World Fragment that Dao Ancestor Xia had obtained in his early years.
Yes, it was a realm on par with the human race's Firmament Heaven.
Furthermore, this was a fragment that had fallen from the World's Origin.
It was precisely because of this World Fragment that Dao Ancestor Xia had been able to rise up as an independent cultivator and become a Dao Ancestor.
According to Lu Qingshan's understanding, this World Fragment was Dao Ancestor Xia's golden finger.
This World Fragment contained a portion of a world's Dao Origin. Although it was only a very incomplete portion, the main point was the Dao Origin.
The Dao Origin referred to the source and foundation of everything.
The Dao Origin was the origin of all intents.
If one wanted to comprehend the Dao Origin in a complete world, it would be like scratching an itch through a boot. It required extremely high talent and some luck.
However, in the Origin Realm, the Dao Origin would be laid bare before one's eyes.
One's perception of it would reach an unprecedentedly clear state.
.....
Lu Qingshan surveyed his surroundings. He discovered that everything before him was gray and hazy. He was slightly surprised.
An instant later, the world changed.
Before Tianxi and Yin were separated, it was called the Flood Origin. It was shaped like a chicken egg, and it was called the Chaos Dark Yellow.
There was no light, no image, no sound, no sect, no ancestor, and it was dim and indistinct.
There was essence within, and it was very real. There was nothing outside of it, and it formed the void.
It was born in the Nether Plains.
Heaven and earth were closed, and it encompassed all things. Everything melted within it, and only metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were mixed within …
.....
Lu Qingshan understood that this was the evolution of the origin of the Dao of a world when the primal chaos was first created.
Once the world was fully formed, the Dao Origin would be hidden within the Heavenly Dao, and it couldn't be easily detected. For example, the human race's Firmament Heaven World.
At this moment, Lu Qingshan had entered a state of unprecedented clarity. His consciousness could clearly sense the various intents.
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, slaughter, Yin, Yang …
It didn't matter if it was the power of concepts he had mastered or not, he could clearly sense them all at this moment.
He even had a feeling that under such circumstances, as long as he was willing, he could comprehend many lower or middle level Concepts.
However, one shouldn't bite off more than they could chew. Artistic conception wasn't about quantity.
The heavens and the earth were still transforming, and his trip to the Origin World would come to an end once the transformation was completed. So, he had to make the best use of his time.
Lu Qingshan's goal was clear.
Imperishable, Karma, and Destruction. These three were his true goals.
The Origin of Dao was incomparably profound and unfathomable.
Lu Qingshan's mind became more and more immersed in these truths of heaven and earth.
He was searching, searching for what he needed from the endless but tangled Origins.
This was a painstaking process, and those concepts that he could clearly feel became distractions at this time, constantly pulling at his attention and tempting him to comprehend.
This was also why it was not better to enter the Origin Realm as soon as possible.
It was like an illiterate person who hadn't read a book. Their vision, knowledge, and understanding were all very limited. If they were thrown into a library that had everything they needed, then they would only feel lost and wouldn't know where to start.
It was even to the extent that they would pick up a romance novel and start reading it with great interest. After they left the library, they noticed that they'd obtained nothing besides learning some new positions, and they'd wasted this precious opportunity for nothing.
On the other hand, if a university student possessed great knowledge and experience, then he would be clearly aware of what he needed before he entered the library. Since his objective was clear, then he would naturally not be distracted by the distractions of others.
Time silently flowed by.
Lu Qingshan, who was still searching, gradually became a little frustrated.
Right at this moment, a strand of refreshing aura arose from his hand, and it quickly flowed throughout his body.
Under the effects of this refreshing aura, he seemed to have entered into an untainted state, and his comprehension that was already extremely clear had become even more precise and detailed.
Dispel one's desires to calm one's heart, clear one's heart to clear one's mind!
This was the energy of the Enlightened Enlightenment.
At this moment, Lu Qingshan felt that his mind had become clear, and a soul-shaking call had unknowingly entered his consciousness.
It was like a mother calling her children home, incomparably intimate.
Without hesitation, he abandoned all the temptations around him and followed the call in search of the source.
Finally, he found it.
It was a small ball of light. Lu Qingshan immediately sank his mind into the ball of light.
Rumble!
In an instant, a boundless ocean appeared in his field of vision.
And he was immersed in this ocean.
Above the sky, there was a bright moon that was constantly changing.
The seawater felt very warm and comfortable, making him feel as if he was an embryo in amniotic fluid.
This was …
The Immortality Source!
The entire ocean was filled with the endless true meaning of immortality.
The world of the Immortality Source was so vast!
Lu Qingshan sighed in his heart, feeling like a grain of sand in the vast ocean, but he soon immersed himself in it, his consciousness drifting along with the waves, constantly exploring and comprehending the mysteries of immortality.
The bright moon kept changing, a waning moon, a crescent moon, a full moon …
Gradually, a sense of enlightenment emerged in Lu Qingshan's heart.
Water and the moon?
The past is like this, but it has never been tasted; the empty is like that, but the dead does not fade.
When one looks at the changes, heaven and earth could not be seen in an instant; when one looks at the unchanging, things and me are endless.
What was true immortality?
Not everything was indestructible and eternal. That was unrealistic.
But like water, although it kept flowing, it did not really die, just kept circulating. Just like the bright moon, it did not increase or decrease in the end.
Everything in the world was changing all the time, never stopping in the blink of an eye. But at the same time, everything was eternal and immortal to me.
Endless growth was immortality!
As the enlightenment continued to appear, an inexplicable rhythm rose in Lu Qingshan's mind.
At this moment, he was a little different from the past.
This was not a physical rebirth, but a sublimation of his heart.
The Immortality True Intent had reached perfection.
Lu Qingshan's mind shook, and he withdrew from the ocean formed by the Immortality True Intent.
Around him, countless of the most fundamental principles of heaven and earth were still evolving.
He was intoxicated and unwilling to stop, taking advantage of the fact that the evolution of chaos had not ended to search for other fundamental principles.
Another call came.
This time, it was familiar. Lu Qingshan's heart stirred, and he followed the call. Soon, he saw a blood-red ball of light.
Thick fiendish energy reverberated around the blood-red ball of light.
The essence of destruction!
Lu Qingshan immediately recognized the identity of this blood-red ball of light.
Without the slightest hesitation, he controlled his mind and entered the blood-red ball of light just like he had comprehended the Immortality True Intent last time.
The next moment, he clearly saw the scene in this terrifying fiendish energy.
A boundless blood-red continent.
All kinds of corpses and bones were spread out on this blood-red continent.
This scene was incomparably demonic, and a suffocating and heart-palpitating pressure assaulted his face.
The color of blood was faintly discernible, like a needle piercing the bone, like a chill invading the soul.
However, under such an extreme environment, Lu Qingshan's mind remained unmoved. There was no ruthlessness, no viciousness, only the most objective understanding and comprehension.
This blood-red world gradually began to change. The blood-red stars in the sky began to move, and with a rumbling sound, all kinds of grotesque and savage beasts emerged from the ground.
As these scenes changed, a few mysteries gradually emerged in Lu Qingshan's mind.
Destruction and nirvana were only a single word apart. They were both powerful offensive concepts, but they were completely different.
Nirvana focused on the annihilation of energy and concepts.
This was the most thorough of 'nirvana', all nothingness. His method of using it was the so-called 'breaking through defenses'.
Destruction focused on the destruction of living matter.
It was the ultimate increase in power, the most ferocious form of 'destruction'. In the hands of a sword cultivator, all destruction was' increasing injuries'.
Lu Qingshan forgot everything, not knowing that the east was bright.
Suddenly, all the scenes in front of him disappeared like bubbles, and the world became clear again.
Lu Qingshan came back to his senses in a daze.
"One month has passed. It's time to comprehend the Origin Realm," a cold voice said, echoing in Lu Qingshan's mind.
Unknowingly, the evolution of the primordial chaos had ended.
"I'm still a little short." Lu Qingshan felt some regret and reluctance in his heart.
He had spent too much time comprehending the Immortal True Intent, so much so that he hadn't been able to fully comprehend the Destruction True Intent.
His Slaughter Sword Intent was still a step away from advancing to the Destruction True Intent, and he hadn't even seen the shadow of the most mystical True Intent of Karma.
Sure enough, with every gain came a loss. While obtaining the Quintessence True Intent, the difficulty of comprehending it also increased exponentially.
This time, Lu Qingshan hadn't been able to succeed even with the help of the Enlightened Heart Bodhi.
Most importantly, he had already tried all the methods that he knew of to improve his Quintessence True Intent.
This was equivalent to exhausting all his accumulation. There were no more shortcuts for him to take from now on.
"The Void Refining Stage will never become the threshold that hinders my cultivation." Lu Qingshan exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and calmed down his slightly agitated mood.
He had always been confident in himself.
Even if he didn't rely on external objects, he would still be able to advance bravely.
…
A wave of fluctuation appeared and enveloped Lu Qingshan. Then, it pulled him out of the Origin Realm.
The scene before his eyes blurred. When it solidified again, he was already outside the stone stele.
The stele guardian stood silently in front of him. His formless aura made one's heart palpitate.
Lu Qingshan cupped his fists at the stele guardian in gratitude. Then, he turned around and left.
As he watched Lu Qingshan's gradually disappearing figure, the stele guardian's gaze focused on the direction in which Lu Qingshan had left. An extremely faint look of shock flashed across his eyes.
"The aura of three Quintessence True Intents, and a higher concept that's almost at the threshold of Quintessence …" he muttered in astonishment.
"Since when did the human race have such a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator?"
Any cultivator who entered the Origin Realm would release their concept aura without any concealment when they comprehended. Hence, he could clearly sense Lu Qingshan's level of concept.
All those who were able to enter the Origin World were the most talented cultivators in the Grand Xia. Even then, he'd only occasionally encountered one or two cultivators who possessed a single strand of Quintessence True Intent during the years he'd been on duty.
He had never seen a cultivator with three Quintessence True Intents before this!
Therefore, even someone as cold as him was still somewhat bewildered and shocked at this moment.
Of course, he didn't show any of these emotions in front of Lu Qingshan.
.....
After Lu Qingshan left the Origin Realm, the first thing he did was return the Enlightened Heart Bodhi Bracelet to Xia Daojing.
However, he did not see Xia Daojing this time.
This was very normal. How could a level eight cultivator have so much free time to see a little Nascent Soul cultivator every day?
He didn't have that much influence.
However, this actually made Lu Qingshan breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, meeting a female cultivator whose cultivation far surpassed his own, and who was also at odds with his master, gave him quite a lot of pressure.
Soon after, he dashed towards the teleportation formation, left Chang 'an, and returned to the Sword Sect.
At this moment, he needed to find a quiet and safe place to completely absorb his gains from this trip to the Origin Realm.
His comprehension of the true meaning of destruction was still lingering in his mind. Perhaps if he carefully sorted it out, he would have a chance to complete the advancement of his slaughter sword intent?
Although the possibility was not high, it was not impossible. Hence, Lu Qingshan was naturally willing to give it a try.
Sword Cometh Peak, Bamboo House.
After throwing out the Western Rat King that had been stifled in the spirit beast bag, Lu Qingshan entered a rare state of secluded cultivation, completely unaware of the storm that was brewing in the outside world.
.....
In front of the Heaven's Secret Pavilions in the various prefectures.
As usual, the cultivators that had gathered to watch the show had strange expressions.
They looked at the latest announcement on the wall, and all of them were dumbfounded and shocked.
"This … this is too crazy!"
"This is definitely the most terrifying number one on the Yellow Board in the past thousand years!"
"In a short three years, he managed to surpass his fellow disciples and reach number one on the Yellow Board. This is simply inhuman …"
Countless people sighed with emotion.
Following their gazes, a few lines of large words could be seen at the top of the Yellow Board.
Name: Lu Qingshan
Rank: Number One
Cultivation Level: Great Circle Nascent Soul. Cultivates three True Intents: Nirvana True Intent, Karma True Intent, Immortality True Intent. Additionally, he cultivates the Great Circle Slaughter Sword Intent (Upper Level Concept) … Absolute in both internal and external. Unparalleled among Nascent Soul sword cultivators …
Battle Record: … Consecutively defeated number two on the Yellow Board, 'Eight Armed Guardian' Yan Fei, number four on the Yellow Board, 'Water Splitting Blade' Li Feng … Number sixty-seven on the Yellow Board … A total of fifty-three Yellow Board cultivators. Invincible among Nascent Soul cultivators!
Nickname: Absolute Sword
Identity: …
.....
Everyone swallowed their saliva. "Defeating half of the Yellow Board. This … is this really something a human can do?"
They hadn't completely digested this shocking news and couldn't accept it.
Moreover, if they remembered correctly, this Lu Qingshan showed that he was 18 years old when he participated in the Seven Regions Dao Discussion.
So, he should be … 21 years old this year?!
Combining the number one on the Yellow Board and the age of 21, Lu Qingshan's potential was no longer as simple as potential. Instead, it was the potential of a terrifying existence like 'Fairy Maiden Luo' and 'Xia Daoyun'.
"Why isn't this Lu Qingshan the strongest of the four realms when he's already so terrifying?" Someone in the crowd suddenly thought of this question and asked in a low voice.
"That's right. If he's not the strongest of the four realms, who else can be?"
For a moment, countless voices echoed, and a heated discussion unknowingly broke out.
"Was Xia Daoyun stronger when she was at the Nascent Soul realm, or was Lu Qingshan stronger when he was at the Nascent Soul realm?" Finally, someone asked this question.
"That's definitely Lu Qingshan. He's invincible on the Yellow Board. Xia Daoyun didn't have such achievements when she was at the Nascent Soul realm, right?"
"That's hard to say. After all, Xia Daoyun is the strongest of the seven realms. Who dares to say that she couldn't be invincible on the Yellow Board when she was at the Nascent Soul realm? It's just that she didn't have the opportunity to show off her skills like the dojo competition back then … "
"Then do you know why the Heaven's Secrets Temple didn't give the title of the strongest of the four realms to this Lu Qingshan?"
At this moment, the restless crowd instantly fell silent and stopped discussing animatedly.
Indeed, if there were still reasonable arguments, how could he be called the strongest of the four realms?
Only when a Nascent Soul cultivator was so strong that everyone acknowledged it and couldn't refute it could be called the strongest …
.....
"My lord …" In a secret room, many cultivators from the Southern Region's Hades Reaper knelt on the ground. Their voices were trembling. "It's not that we didn't do our job well, but that Lu Qingshan never gave us a chance.
Our men were ready, but he first stayed in Chang 'an City and the Origin Realm for a month … "
No matter how daring they were, how could they dare to make a move in the capital of the Da Xia Kingdom?
If they had the ability, they would have destroyed the Da Xia Kingdom a long time ago. Why would they need to hide in the dark like rats?
"Then what happened after he came out of the Origin Realm? This animal's intent isn't complete. He'll definitely have to travel outside in search of opportunities to break through, "Southern Siming said in a gloomy voice." Isn't that your chance to make a move? "
The cultivator that knelt on the ground spoke carefully. "My Lord, according to our expectations, it should have been like that as well. However, we never expected that after Lu Qingshan left the Origin World, he actually utilized the teleportation formation to rush back to the Sword Sect, and he still hasn't left the sect until now ….
Due to the failure in the eastern region's Hades last time, the Sword Sect has increased the patrols in the vicinity of the sect, and we don't dare to kill him as well … "
The secret room fell into a solemn and silent atmosphere for a while.
The cultivators of the Life Demanding Department kept quiet out of fear, not daring to say anything as they waited for Nan Si Ming's decision.
After a long time, Nan Si Ming said in a hoarse voice, "No matter what, Lu Qingshan is a Sword Cultivator and has yet to reach the peak of his Intent Realm. It's impossible for him to stay in the sect for long. However, we don't have much time left …
Moreover, our information is severely lacking. Perhaps we don't even know when Lu Qingshan left the Sword Sect. We can't just continue waiting like this. "
"Then, Lord Arbiter of Fate, what do you mean?" The cultivator from the Life Demanding Division asked timidly.
"Idiots! If he doesn't want to come out, we'll just lure him out of the sect. Those who are willing will take the bait … "A trace of malice flashed through Nan Si Ming's eyes, and he said sinisterly," Just do as I say … "
