Lu Qingshan did not know that the Water Moon Temple Master thought that he was being "humble" when he spoke the truth.
He changed the topic and asked, "Temple Master, did you receive the message I sent earlier?"
After he returned to Firmament Heaven, he had already organized the news of the Human Tribe appearing in Demon Area into a spiritual message and sent it to the Water Moon Temple Master.
The Water Moon Temple Master nodded. "I received it. I have already sent the message to Heavenly River City."
"That's good." Lu Qingshan heaved a sigh of relief.
Although Sword Immortal Chang 'an had already intervened, this matter still involved the royal family of the Da Xia Kingdom. If it was not handled well, it could cause disharmony among the people and weaken the foundation of the human race. Thus, many parties were needed to coordinate.
Heavenly River City was obviously the most powerful one.
The Water Moon Temple Master raised her eyebrows. She was about to ask Lu Qingshan about what he had seen in the Abyss.
Whoosh!
At this moment, two rays of light broke through the clouds and flew towards them.
After a short while.
The stream of light arrived and stopped. As the light faded away, a middle-aged cultivator with a kind face and a beautiful female cultivator appeared from within.
They were the Mirror Lake Faction Master and Lin Yao of the Heaven's Secrets Temple.
"Mirror Lake, Lin Yao, why are you two here?" The Water Moon Temple Master asked curiously.
She was currently talking to Lu Qingshan. If it wasn't for something important, the two of them shouldn't have disturbed her.
"Master, something big has happened. Uncle-Master Mirror Lake just received a piece of news." Lin Yao's watery eyes were filled with anxiety.
"What happened?" The Water Moon Temple Master sensed the seriousness of the matter and looked at the Temple Master of Mirror Lake.
If Lin Yao was the only one here, the situation would not be so serious.
However, since even Mirror Lake was alerted, the matter was not so simple.
The Temple Master of Mirror Lake quickly used her Primordial Spirit to inform the Water Moon Temple Master of the details.
Lu Qingshan could see that the Water Moon Temple Master's expression gradually became serious.
"What happened?" He had doubts in his heart but did not ask rashly.
Perhaps it was related to the secrets of the Temple of Heavenly Secrets. As an outsider, it was not appropriate for him to ask.
After a moment of silence, the Water Moon Observatory Master looked at Lu Qingshan.
This gave Lu Qingshan a bad premonition.
What does this have to do with me?
"Lu Qingshan, you're in trouble this time," the Water Moon Observatory Master said slowly.
Given the status of the Water Moon Observatory Master, when she said that it would be troublesome, it was naturally not an exaggeration.
"Abbey Dean, what happened?" Lu Qingshan frowned.
The Water Moon Temple Master looked at Lu Qingshan and asked, "Have you solved the problem of your Natal Sword?"
Lu Qingshan nodded. "Of course."
"A sword with a sword spirit is of an extremely high quality." The Water Moon Observatory Master paused and suddenly stared at Lu Qingshan. "So what is the quality of your life sword? Is it … a Taoist Artifact? "
Lu Qingshan hesitated for a moment and looked at the Mirror Lake Observatory Master. In the end, he nodded slowly. "It is indeed a Taoist Artifact. However, it lacks a portion of its divine power and does not have the full power of a Taoist Artifact."
The Mirror Lake Observatory Master's eyes widened. It was obvious that she was shocked.
"A Taoist Artifact." The Water Moon Observatory Master let out a long sigh. "Even though I thought of it, I still find it unbelievable."
"Lu Qingshan, do you know that in the entire Human Territory, there are many Pseudo Taoist Artifacts. However, the number of artifacts that are Taoist Artifacts can be counted on two hands. At most, you can count them on your fingers."
The Water Moon Observatory Master said seriously.
"How can there be so few?" Lu Qingshan was extremely shocked.
In his previous life, no player had ever wielded a Taoist Artifact.
However, in Lu Qingshan's opinion, that was only because the players were still relatively weak. He thought that after a few versions, it would eventually enter an era where every top player would have a Taoist Artifact.
What he did not expect was that the number of Taoist Artifacts would be so low.
It was so low that even Venerable State cultivators could not wield a Taoist Artifact.
The Water Moon Observatory Master nodded and explained, "A Taoist Artifact is a Taoist Artifact. There are extremely strict requirements for it to take shape.
A Taoist Artifact must first have a Connate Artifact embryo that carries the Great Dao. Then, it must be refined and perfected by us cultivators. Alternatively, it may be a complete Taoist Artifact that was nurtured by Heaven and Earth.
In short, it can't be refined by a cultivator alone. "
When the Water Moon Observatory Master said this, Lu Qingshan already understood.
The Human Race had never lacked cultivators who worked hard to overcome difficulties.
According to the Human Race's creativity and learning ability, as long as there was a blacksmith who could refine a Taoist Artifact with his own ability, even if the process was extremely difficult and arduous, there would only be more and more blacksmiths who could refine a Taoist Artifact.
Furthermore, with such a long history, the Human Race would not only have a dozen Taoist Artifacts.
It was the threshold of Taoist Artifacts that stopped the Human Race blacksmiths at the door.
This was not something that humans could do. What they needed was the right time.
"The Seven Great Dao Sects, at least on the surface, only have one Taoist Artifact. For example, the Divine Secrets Mirror of the Divine Secrets Temple, the Fuyao of the Sword Sect …"
The Water Moon Observatory Master continued, "You should understand the value of a Taoist Artifact."
Lu Qingshan's expression changed slightly.
"A Taoist Artifact." The Mirror Lake Observatory Master interrupted at this moment. "This is a Taoist Artifact. The opportunities contained in it are immeasurable.
In addition, too many people have only heard of its name and have never seen a Taoist Artifact in their lives. This is because Taoist Artifacts are usually in the hands of the top cultivators of the Human Race. "
At this point, the Deputy Temple Master of the Divine Secrets Temple looked meaningfully at Lu Qingshan. "Kid, among the known cultivators of the Human Race who possess Taoist Artifacts, you are the one with the lowest cultivation level."
"It's just a Taoist Artifact with incomplete divine power." Lu Qingshan frowned.
"Even with incomplete divine power, it's still a Taoist Artifact. It's far better than a pseudo Taoist Artifact," the Mirror Lake Observatory Master said in a low voice.
Lu Qingshan was silent. She was right.
He pondered for a moment and asked again, "Temple Master, you said that I might be in trouble … Is it related to my Natal Sword?"
"You reacted quickly." The Water Moon Observatory Master nodded slightly. "I don't know who spread the news.
In short, the outside world is now saying that the reason why your strength can advance by leaps and bounds in such a short period of time, and that it took you less than a year to advance from the strongest realm four to the strongest realm five. You also relied on your Natal Sword to defeat a peak level six Flood Dragon King in three moves.
They said that your Natal Sword is not a pseudo Taoist Artifact, but a Taoist Artifact! "
Lu Qingshan's expression changed slightly.
If he didn't understand what this meant before, it was clear to him now.
"This is a Taoist Artifact. Many realm nine cultivators do not have a Taoist Artifact. Even Venerables might covet it. After all, they understand the power of a Taoist Artifact the best. They would not complain about having too many Taoist Artifacts," the Water Moon Observatory Master said solemnly.
"If not for the fact that I can't use a sword and don't like swords, I might find you an eyesore." The Mirror Lake Observatory Master chuckled and expressed her opinion again.
"Uncle-Master Mirror Lake …" Lin Yao, who was already worried about Lu Qingshan, could not help but complain when she heard the Mirror Lake Observatory Master's words.
On the other side, the Water Moon Observatory Master stared at Lu Qingshan with a burning gaze. "Whether the person who spread the news really knows that you have a Taoist Artifact or has an ulterior motive, the dust has settled.
Now that the news of you having a Taoist Artifact has spread, many human sects and cultivators know about it and have their eyes on you.
It's true that you are very strong, and you have the Sword Sect as your master. However, you have to understand that compared to other mighty cultivators who have Taoist Artifacts, you, Lu Qingshan, are really nothing. "
Lu Qingshan remained silent.
In his previous life, there was a comment about capital:
Capital always avoids turmoil and disputes because it is timid. However, once there is a suitable amount of profit, capital will become very bold.
As long as there is a 10% profit, it will be used everywhere.
With a 20% profit, it will become lively.
With a 50% profit, it will cause people to take risks.
With double the profit, it will cause people to ignore the rules.
With three times the profit, it will cause people to not be afraid of anything, even death.
This principle was also true in the world of cultivators.
"A man's wealth is his own ruin. You're only at the Void Refinement Realm. Even if you have extraordinary combat prowess, you're only at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm." The Water Moon Observatory Master was worried. "Lu Qingshan, you're in big trouble this time."
The news that Lu Qingshan had a Taoist Artifact was enough to make 99% of the cultivators in the world envious, jealous, and even full of murderous intent.
After all, there were too many cultivators who had never even seen a Taoist Artifact before, let alone own one.
The "profit" that would be brought by killing Lu Qingshan and snatching the Taoist Artifact would be more than three times the profit.
It would be the biggest "contributor" that would allow Lu Qingshan to advance by leaps and bounds and become one of the strongest cultivators in the Five Realms.
The deterrence of the Sword Sect had obviously become insignificant in the face of the temptation brought by the Taoist Artifact.
Needless to say, those evil cultivators and cultivators of the Hades had probably been eyeing Lu Qingshan in the dark for a long time.
Even those cultivators who came from reputable Righteous Sects would definitely be jealous as well. They might even have dark thoughts.
"If it weren't for the fact that you're a Sword Cultivator and can't part with your Natal Sword unless you're dead, there would probably be some" righteous "cultivators who would use the excuse of eliminating devils to" borrow "your sword." The Water Moon Observatory Master sighed. "I wonder if this is a blessing or a curse for you."
Because it was his Natal Sword, others could not "borrow" it.
However, because it was his Natal Sword, there was no other way to control the Taoist Artifact other than to kill Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan's expression was cold. "What a vicious move …"
He did have a Taoist Sword, and not just one.
Strictly speaking, there should be three of them.
However, due to certain matters, the Dragon Sparrow and the River of Forgetfulness only had the quality of a Taoist Artifact but no Taoist Artifact divine power. Others could not tell much about them. At most, they would think that they were Pseudo Taoist Artifacts.
As for the Demon Suppression that truly possessed the divine power of a Taoist Artifact, he had not publicly used it until now.
"There's no doubt that the person or faction who spread the news is spouting nonsense. They don't have any concrete evidence and are purely trying to frame me." Lu Qingshan's gaze was cold as he spoke.
After all, if it was confirmed that his Natal Sword was a Taoist Artifact, the person behind this would want nothing more than to hide this information so that they could monopolize the Taoist Artifact. Why would they spread the news so recklessly?
Who would release the location of the treasure?
Unfortunately, his Natal Sword was indeed a Taoist Artifact.
"The main thing is that the timing of this news is too subtle. Or rather, you, Lu Qingshan, are in the limelight now."
The Water Moon Observatory Master also knew the reason behind this. She sighed and said, "Even I can't understand how you managed to grow from a Golden Core cultivator in the Seven Realms Dao Discussion to the strongest cultivator in the Five Realms Dao Discussion in just seven years.
Especially to go from the strongest Four Realms to the strongest Five Realms in less than a year. "
"During this period of time, countless cultivators have been shocked by your achievements and are talking about it. However, this news just had to be spread at this time."
"Saying that you have a Taoist Artifact is the most reasonable explanation for your shocking performance. Thus, it quickly gained the approval of most cultivators and spread quickly."
A Taoist Artifact was a Taoist Artifact. It could help Lu Qingshan grow quickly and allow him to possess battle power that far exceeded his cultivation level. This sounded very reasonable.
It could only be said that the person behind this was indeed someone who understood human nature.
The Mirror Lake Observatory Master frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Also, it's worth noting that the time between the news and the spread of the news was too short. It seems like the person intentionally avoided the Heaven Secrets Temple, which is why I was caught off guard.
This news first spread to the other six regions at almost the same time. Only the Middle Heaven Region didn't have a mastermind behind it. Thus, I wasn't able to discover it in time and stop it from spreading. "
He said to Lu Qingshan, "Now that this news is spreading in the other six regions, it won't be long before the news of you possessing a Taoist Artifact spreads throughout the entire Middle Heaven Region."
This was putting Lu Qingshan in the limelight. Under the gaze of everyone, the pressure he had to bear was immense.
"To spread this news to the Human Region in such a short period of time and make it true, the person behind this must be very powerful." Lu Qingshan was silent for a while and said slowly.
"It's very likely that the person who has this power and is targeting me is from the Hades Sect.
I hope that the Water Moon Observatory Master can help me investigate the origin of this news. Perhaps we can trace it back to the source and catch the big fish. "Lu Qingshan respectfully pleaded the Water Moon Observatory Master.
"The focus of the investigation can be placed in the Middle Spirit Region." He made a judgment.
"Don't worry, I will immediately investigate this matter." The Water Moon Observatory Master didn't comment on this point. She only said worriedly, "But on your side … what are your plans?"
"Do you need me to cast a Spirit Art for you to help you change your appearance and hide your identity? Or do you want to return to the Sword Sect to cultivate in seclusion for a while and wait for the limelight to die down? "
"If you need, I can also help Young Master Lu. My talent is suitable for this situation." Lin Yao couldn't help but interrupt.
She was referring to her Shifting Star Passage Spirit Art combined with the Body Changing Divine Meridians to create a seamless disguise.
"Hmm?" Before the Water Moon Observatory Master could say anything, the Mirror Lake Observatory Master was the first to snort and glare.
— Shifting Star Passage Spirit Art was a forbidden Spirit Art. Every time it was cast, it would cause great damage to the caster.
He couldn't see Lin Yao using the Shifting Star Passage Spirit Art for an outsider.
Lu Qingshan was very calm. He shook his head and said, "There's no need to go through so much trouble."
"There's no such thing as a sword cultivator building a chariot behind closed doors. I'll just deal with whatever comes my way."
"If one comes, I'll kill one. If two comes, I'll kill two. It's a good opportunity for me to hone my sword skills."
"I still need an opportunity to comprehend my Secret Sword Art. Fighting has always been the best way to practice the sword. This might be an opportunity for me."
There were always piles of blood and bones beneath the feet of experts.
This was even more true for sword cultivators.
Lu Qingshan grinned, revealing his shiny, snow-white teeth. "You should know that normally, there wouldn't be so many people rushing to their deaths …"
"You're just a realm five cultivator in the end. There will always be cultivators you can't deal with."
"Then I'll run." Lu Qingshan smiled and said indifferently, "If there really is a powerful cultivator coming to kill me, then I won't lose face by running."
With Xia Daoyun's sword talisman and the blood-stained warship from the Demonic Blade Exalt, as long as it wasn't a realm eight cultivator, no one could kill him.
There weren't many realm eight cultivators in the Human Realm. Most of them were in the battlefield outside the realm.
"Moreover, I believe that there will be fewer and fewer cultivators who can force me to run." Lu Qingshan's eyelids drooped slightly as he said softly.
The three Heaven's Secrets Temple cultivators, regardless of their cultivation level, were all moved when they heard Lu Qingshan's words.
They could feel the firmness of Lu Qingshan's conviction, as if they could see Lu Qingshan's sharp fangs and sharpness.
Once a famed sword was unsheathed, there was no way it could hide its sharpness!
The Water Moon Temple Master understood the great risk of Lu Qingshan's choice, but she wouldn't dissuade Lu Qingshan.
This was the path of a sword cultivator.
Using the sword to decide karma, using only the sword in one's hand to slash out the Great Dao.
Without this kind of conviction, it was impossible to become a sword immortal.
"Be careful. I don't want to see news of your premature death." In the end, the Water Moon Temple Master said.
… …..
At this moment, in a hidden abyss far away from the Middle Heaven Region.
"Reporting to my lord, the news that Lu Qingshan's Natal Sword is a Dao Artifact has spread throughout the Human Realm. Now, many cultivators are ready to make a move." A cultivator bowed to the six-eyed demonic beast and reported.
"Lu Qingshan, oh Lu Qingshan, we are indeed afraid of breaking the vases. We can't kill you personally." The six-eyed demonic beast was extremely satisfied. Its eyes were filled with madness and contortion.
"But why do we have to do it ourselves?"
"The blades of your own kind will soon be pressed against your neck!"
"You're finished."
The six-eyed demonic beast couldn't help but laugh maniacally.
It wanted a human cultivator to strangle a human genius sword cultivator with their own hands.
This gave it a sick sense of pleasure.
Destroy!
.....
On Lu Qingshan's side, he told the Water Moon Temple Master about what he had seen and heard in the abyss, as well as some information about the Demons that he had collected. After that, the conversation came to an end.
He bid farewell and left.
Lin Yao's eyes flashed. She hurriedly bade farewell to the Water Moon Temple Master and left with Lu Qingshan.
"The damage to the Star Transposition Spirit Art is so great. It's not enough for Yao 'er to use it once for an outsider. She actually wants to use it a second time." The Mirror Lake Temple Master looked at Lin Yao and Lu Qingshan as they left.
"Yao 'er must have taken a fancy to this brat. Aren't you going to do anything about it?" The Mirror Lake Temple Master was full of resentment. "This brat looks like a dog. If this continues, Yao 'er's soul will be stolen by this brat!"
Lin Yao was a disciple of the Heaven Secrets Temple who was highly valued by them. She cultivated the Heaven Secrets Spirit Art and was very likely to be the next Heaven Secrets Temple Master. How could she sacrifice so much for a man? She was so obsessed with a man?
Especially when this man was an outsider.
The Mirror Lake Temple Master was very unhappy.
However, the Water Moon Temple Master couldn't help but roll her eyes at the Mirror Lake Temple Master's words.
"Why? Did I say something wrong?" Seeing the Water Moon Temple Master's reaction, the Mirror Lake Temple Master said angrily.
"This brat is born with good looks. His sword skills are shocking and his talent is extraordinary. Not only is he courageous, he is also high-spirited and unrestrained."
The beautiful and beautiful female Taoist said matter-of-factly, "Such a stunning sword cultivator. If I was born a thousand years earlier, I might have been mesmerized by him. So what if a young lady likes him? Isn't this very normal? "
"If she doesn't like him, is she going to like an old man like you?" The Water Moon Temple Master snorted coldly. Her figure flashed and she disappeared, leaving the Mirror Lake Temple Master standing there with an awkward expression.
A moment later.
"So what if I'm a little older? Did I eat your rice?"
The Mirror Lake Temple Master muttered angrily. "Furthermore, I am from the same generation as you. Also, I was not bad when I was young. Why didn't you like me?"
After complaining with dissatisfaction and grievance, the Mirror Lake Temple Master's figure also disappeared. Only the mountain wind was left at the edge of the cliff.
