In a deep quiet room.
Dazzling golden light was everywhere, and strange phenomena were constantly appearing.
Waves rose and fell, and golden light flickered, rolling up continuously.
However, this scene only lasted for a few breaths of time before all the divine light began to converge.
"The Scripture of the Da Xia Kingdom (Void Refinement Chapter) has been upgraded to the Four Flower Realm. The upper limit of your spiritual energy has increased by 250,000!"
"Your Primordial Spirit Realm has been upgraded (Divine Sense + 200)!"
Lu Qingshan, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the quiet room, only felt that his body was full of vitality, as if there was an exuberant essence circulating.
After spending 5.14 million experience points, he successfully upgraded his cultivation to the Four Flower Realm.
Under this upgrade, his experience points fell to the bottom again, leaving him with a pitiful 900,000 experience points.
However, this was not a big problem, as he still had 8,000 battle achievements.
In other words, he was not short of money!
Lu Qingshan calmed his heart and looked inside. He discovered that on the Origin Dao Seed between his Nascent Soul's eyebrows, four dazzling and swaying golden lotuses had bloomed. Golden threads were hanging down, dyeing the entire Nascent Soul with a golden light.
"Every time a flower blooms, the strength of the Nascent Soul will increase by a level, and my accumulation will also be deeper." Lu Qingshan pondered.
It was said that Void Refinement cultivators were no match for Soul Formation cultivators. This was because Soul Formation cultivators cultivated elemental energy, while Void Refinement cultivators were still at the level of spiritual energy.
The tyrannical quality of elemental energy could easily defeat spiritual energy in a confrontation.
This was a difference in quality that could not be easily made up for with quantity.
It could not be easily made up for, but it did not mean that it could not be made up for.
He cultivated a flawless foundation, and the purity and conciseness of his spiritual energy were far superior to 99% of cultivators of the same level.
With the same amount of spiritual energy, his power was much stronger than that of others.
Of course, it could not be compared to elemental energy.
However, this also gave him the opportunity to rely on quantity to make up for the difference in quality.
"If I cultivate to the Six Flower Realm and above, I should be able to arm wrestle with an ordinary cultivator in the early stage of the Soul Formation realm." After carefully examining his state, Lu Qingshan made a reasonable assessment in his heart.
What he meant by arm wrestling was that he didn't use any unconventional methods such as the Power of the Mountains and Seas or Life Depleting.
"I'm really looking forward to it." Lu Qingshan collected his thoughts, stood up slowly, and left the quiet room.
At this moment, the sky was already bright.
Lu Qingshan didn't waste any more time. Riding on his sword, he flew out of Luoyan Pass like a streak of light. He quickly followed his original path and headed straight for Jade Gate Pass.
.....
The sky brightened.
Na —
A soft whisper was heard.
Pain!
So painful!
My head hurts!
The unconscious Marquis of Calm Sea only felt an abnormal throbbing pain in his head. He woke up with great difficulty and slowly opened his eyes.
The moment he woke up, his eyes, consciousness, and voice were all extremely clear. However, he discovered that although his eyes were open, his body couldn't move. He couldn't even move his fingers.
This state was very unfamiliar, and it even made Marquis Calm Sea panic.
If he were an ordinary mortal, he wouldn't think much of such a scene. Wasn't it just a ghost pressing down on him?
After another period of time, the Marquis of Calm Sea finally regained control over his body.
"Whoosh!" After regaining control of his body, he sat up abruptly and immediately surveyed his surroundings. He discovered that he was in an unknown wilderness.
'I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky …'
Marquis Calm Sea inspected his body's condition. He saw that his Essence Blood was in a mess, and his condition couldn't get any worse. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He was in such a bad state, and he had even fainted in the dangerous outer realm battlefield without any warning …
While he was unconscious, if any of the Demon Race discovered him, they would most likely take his life.
However, in the end, he managed to survive until he woke up.
'Those who survive a great disaster are bound to have good fortune in the future.' Marquis Calm Sea consoled himself. At the same time, with a thought, the ground rippled like water.
In the next moment, his body silently sank into the ground like a stone thrown into the sea.
Then, the ripples faded, and the ground returned to normal.
As for his aura, it also completely disappeared.
This was an extremely powerful aura concealing art that Marquis Calm Sea cultivated — the Snake-like Aura Concealing Art.
It was with this Snake-like Aura Concealing Art that he was able to escape undiscovered by the Demons' army after breaking out of the encirclement.
Underground.
Marquis Calm Sea took out a medicinal pill and consumed it. He circulated his cultivation method and began to heal his wounds. In order to escape from the Demons' nest, he had used a forbidden art and forcefully broke out of the encirclement. His injuries were severe.
.....
A day later.
In the desolate outer realm battlefield, an extremely strange rainbow butterfly flapped its wings and flew through the sky.
The butterfly only flapped its wings lightly each time, but the distance it traveled was extremely far.
Its speed seemed slow, but it was actually very fast. It was extremely mysterious.
Behind the butterfly, there were two figures moving at high speed.
At a closer look, one could see a pair of triangular eyes and a sinister face, as well as Qing Ge's gloomy and cold face …
The triangular-eyed Devil Cultivator, Demon General Pu Qu, could not help but ask, "Your Highness, why didn't you bring the Demons' army with you to ensure that we can kill this Lu Qingshan? According to Demon Master Spirit Confusion, Lu Qingshan is not simple."
"No matter how complicated he is, isn't he still a Void Refinement cultivator?
I alone am enough to kill a mere Fifth Realm sword cultivator. Why would I need to bring an army?
If it weren't for the fear of encountering other accidents, I wouldn't have brought you along. You're making a mountain out of a molehill! "Qing Ge had a disdainful expression.
Then, he said unhappily, "Besides, there are too many eyes. It's hard to guarantee that there are spies planted by Chi Pu in my army.
If I bring them along, they might expose our tracks to Big Brother.
If Big Brother hears the news and rushes over to snatch Lu Qingshan from me, what will we do? "
"If I wasn't worried about this, why would I be in such a hurry? I just consumed my own source of energy to regrow my severed limb, and before I could recover my source of energy, we had to set off. "Qing Ge said sinisterly.
It could be seen that his arm, which was originally severed by Marquis Calm Sea, had grown back out of thin air — — This was the result of him using his own source of energy to restore it after leaving Black Demon City.
This was also because he was forced by the situation. He had originally planned to act first and report later, catching Chi Pu off guard.
So he did not dare to delay too much time, nor did he want to make too much noise.
If Chi Pu followed him, how could he have a share of the pseudo Dao weapon?
Quietly, the army did not need it.
"I see." Demon General Pu Qu could not help nodding. "Your Highness is right."
As the saying goes, when a man achieves the Dao, even his chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven.
Since he was under Qing Ge's command, he naturally hoped that Qing Ge's status could be improved.
And among Demons, strength has always determined one's status.
He was well aware of how much a pseudo Dao weapon could improve Qing Ge's status.
As for Lu Qingshan, he was only a fifth realm sword cultivator. Although Demon Lord repeatedly warned him not to underestimate him, but between the two of them, one was a sixth grade Demon General and the other a seventh grade Demon Commander, how could they not be underestimated?
Demon General Pu Qu no longer thought about it, quickly followed Qing Ge and the hundred illusion butterfly.
.....
"Hmm?"
Just after the two demons and one butterfly flew past, a ripple appeared on the ground of the wilderness they passed.
Marquis Calm Sea's figure suddenly appeared.
"It's these two demons — — why would they appear here? They look like they're looking for something — — "He looked in the direction the two demons left in puzzlement, his brows furrowed." Are they looking for me? "
"No, if they're looking for me, why are there only two people, and not the army of Demons?
And with that Demon General's arrogant and despotic temperament, why would he personally come to find me? "
What's going on?
Marquis Calm Sea was puzzled.
In this remote wilderness far away from the city of Demons, Demon General Qing Ge, who had just failed in his attack on Wild Goose Pass, led his subordinates in a hurry, as if they were looking for something.
Moreover, they did not seem to be looking for him, who had escaped.
Then, what were they looking for?
With Demon General Qing Ge's status, the thing he was looking for was definitely not simple. It was extremely important to the Demons — — After all, Demon General Qing Ge had led his army to attack Wild Goose Pass just a day ago. How low could his reputation fall?
The old general's battle-hardened intuition told him that there must be some great secret hidden in this.
This caused Marquis Calm Sea's heart to tremble, and a glint flashed through his eyes.
"Drip — — Drip — —"
At this moment, a few faint dripping sounds rang out. Marquis Calm Sea, who was in deep thought, raised his head and looked at the sky.
"It's raining …"
After muttering to himself for a few breaths, Marquis Calm Sea stood up nimbly, no longer caring about his wounds. Instead, he walked in the direction the two demons had gone, cautiously but swiftly following them.
He made his decision.
Marquis Calm Sea's injuries were far from healed. However, since he had encountered such a major incident, he could not turn a blind eye to it.
He also knew that in his current state, following them might put him in danger, or he might not be able to change anything.
However …
What if?
He could allow himself to feel powerless after trying, but he could not allow himself to not try because he felt powerless.
Hence, he still moved.
Soon, Marquis Calm Sea's figure vanished from where he stood.
Meanwhile, the rain grew heavier and heavier.
.....
Torrential rain poured down from the sky, just like the rain at Wild Goose Pass a few days ago. It caused the world to be gray, and it was unbearably cold.
Ordinary changes in the weather no longer had much meaning to cultivators.
Lu Qingshan rode on his sword and flew at a low altitude. His body was shrouded in a faint spiritual energy, which repelled all the rainwater.
It had already been a day since he left Wild Goose Pass. In another two days, he would be able to return to Jade Gate Pass.
Suddenly, he instinctively frowned.
Caught off guard, two huge splashes of water shot out not far in front of him, forming a water lotus and splashing water droplets everywhere.
The wind and rain were incredibly loud.
Amidst the clamor of the wind and rain, a sinister voice drifted over. It seemed to condense into a line, bringing with it a rain arrow that pierced through the thick curtain of rain and shot towards Lu Qingshan.
"We meet again, Li Feiyu."
The rain arrow condensed into a transparent rain arrow, parting the cold wind and rain as it shot towards Lu Qingshan's face.
Chi!
In the end, the rain arrow seemed to hit an invisible wall one zhang in front of Lu Qingshan. It could not advance any further and exploded.
The rain droplets splashed in front of Lu Qingshan, but he did not seem to feel it.
This was because two figures had already appeared in his sight.
Demon General Qing Ge and Demon Commander Pu Qu.
His Highness Qing Ge had been simmering with anger for a long time and was about to explode. When he finally saw Lu Qingshan again, he probably thought that Lu Qingshan was definitely dead and calmed down instead.
He had an unhurried and playful look on his face. The corners of his mouth curled up as he said with a smile, "Or should I call you Lu Qingshan?"
Lu Qingshan, who had been stopped by the two demons, looked at the calm and unruffled Demon Commander Pu Qu and Demon General Qing Ge. He paused for a moment, but his expression did not change much. He only asked calmly, "How did you find me?"
Everything happened very suddenly.
Logically speaking, with the support of the Secret of Tianxuan and his usual caution, the Demons should not have been able to discover him.
However, it had already happened. There was no point in wishing that it had not happened.
Demon General Qing Ge's eyes sparkled as he laughed sinisterly, "Why should we tell you?"
Let Lu Qingshan die with an explanation?
No, Qing Ge was not prepared to do that. Wouldn't that be letting this bastard off too easily?
He would let him die with a stomach full of unwillingness and confusion. Only then would it be satisfying!
Since Demon General Qing Ge did not say anything, Lu Qingshan did not ask again. He fixed his eyes on Demon General Qing Ge standing in the rain, and suddenly grinned. "Your hand has grown out? Then it seems that the arm I collected is not a limited edition, it's not valuable anymore. "
Hearing these words, the veins on Qing Ge's forehead could not help but bulge — — He recalled the scene from before. After the Marquis of Calm Sea cut off his arm, Lu Qingshan took it away, and even shook his arm to provoke and mock him.
"You, deserve to die!" Qing Ge's self-restraint that he barely managed to maintain was easily defeated.
Seeing this, Demon Commander Pu Qu took a step forward, taking the initiative to show goodwill. "Your Highness, allow me to take him down and let Your Highness punish him."
"No," Qing Ge reached out his hand to stop Demon General Pu Qu, who was about to make a move. He curled his lips and grinned sinisterly. "I once said that I will personally kill this person.
I, Qing Ge, will naturally do what I say. You just watch from the side, this time I will personally take action! "
Demon General Pu Qu very cooperatively took a step back. "Then Your Highness will play with him for a while."
Against a Void Refinement realm sword cultivator, he still had confidence in His Highness Qing Ge.
"Kill me personally?" Seeing Qing Ge's attitude, Lu Qingshan only uttered an indifferent 'oh'.
Swoosh!
Dragon Sparrow appeared in Lu Qingshan's right hand.
"I," he waved Dragon Sparrow in his right hand, pointing the tip of the sword at Qing Ge, "will wait for you!"
If there was only Demon General Qing Ge present, Lu Qingshan would have tried to escape.
But with Demon General Pu Qu present, all of this became meaningless.
As a fifth realm sword cultivator, if he could escape in front of a Demon General, then Demons would have already been destroyed by the Human Race seven or eight times.
Dead end.
This was a dead end where he could not see a glimmer of hope.
Lu Qingshan looked down at the Dragon Sparrow in his hand.
Rain poured down, but it could not even get close to the Dragon Sparrow Sword before it evaporated and disappeared.
"This may be our last battle together," Lu Qingshan said softly to Qin Yitian. There was a hint of regret and pity in his voice.
"To hold your hand and live together with you …" Qin Yitian replied softly.
This was the promise that Lu Qingshan and Dragon Sparrow had made when they first signed the contract.
Now, Qin Yitian was using this as her answer.
A burst of warmth flowed from Dragon Sparrow, traveling through Lu Qingshan's hand and throughout his entire body.
Lu Qingshan instantly understood what Qin Yitian meant.
"If that's the case …"
Of course, he didn't want to die, but he had already mentally prepared himself.
In this war between the two tribes, everyone could die. There were no exceptions.
Including him.
But at the very least, he had to die standing.
That was right.
"Then come!" Lu Qingshan's figure flashed like a rainbow, breaking through the curtain of rain and charging forward.
At this moment, vigorous spiritual power flowed through his body, surging violently, as if lightning had exploded in his body.
In his chest, a vast and mighty aura was born, swimming like a dragon.
There was clearly a grand aura surging within his body, but Lu Qingshan's expression was unprecedentedly calm and cold.
His expression was as calm as a lake even though he was struck by lightning.
Even if it was a dead end, he would fight to the very end.
This was his belief.
The belief of the sword wielder.
