For a sword cultivator, it was very difficult to achieve much just by cultivating in seclusion.
After Lu Qingshan left Heaven's Secrets Temple this time, he did not have a clear destination.
His idea was to take advantage of this time to walk around the Middle Heaven Domain, to experience the mountains and rivers of the Human Domain.
This action seemed somewhat nonsensical, but there was a deeper reason behind it.
It was like when a writer ran out of inspiration, the more he immersed himself in the contents of the book, the more he would not be able to think of anything.
On the contrary, if he left his room and walked around the outside world, he might be able to get some inspiration.
Lu Qingshan's current situation was similar to a writer who had fallen into a state of exhaustion of inspiration.
His second Secret Sword was on the verge of appearing, but it did not appear.
This was because he was missing a crucial opportunity.
For this opportunity, the more he persisted in deducing it, the more likely he would fall into a dead end.
Since it was like this, it was better to walk around, maybe he would find that opportunity.
If he felt like it, the Secret Sword would be formed.
With this thought in mind, Lu Qingshan did as he was told.
When he truly opened his heart and walked in the world, Lu Qingshan really had a lot of realizations in his heart.
In the six years since he came to this world, he was like a taut string. He didn't even have the time to take a breather.
Everything happened one after another.
The threat of the Demons was like the Sword of Damocles hanging over his head, forcing him to bravely walk forward. He had a strong sense of danger that if he did not advance, he would be pushed back, not daring to relax in the slightest.
At this time, because he was stuck at the Ten Flowers Divine Gate, his cultivation could not advance, but it became a rare opportunity for him to stop and rest.
Lu Qingshan traveled alone in the vast Middle Heaven Domain.
He felt the majestic mountains and rivers of the Middle Heaven Domain, as well as the local customs, emptying his mind.
He had once climbed a mountain and looked into the distance, he had once traveled down a river on a small boat.
He had once seen ice melt, he had once seen lava flow.
He had once heard the first cry of a baby being born in a bustling city, he had once heard the whispers of an old man before his death.
Good things happened, bad things also happened. The two were like the yin and yang of a taiji diagram, inseparable.
Everything in the world was so inconspicuous, yet it truly existed.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
This was the first time that Lu Qingshan had not done any cultivation.
However, his current condition was clearly different from when he left the Tianji Temple. It was so good that it was surprising.
His ice-cold heart, which had been tempered by battles and killings along the way, had gradually melted during this half a month of travel, washing away the dust on the surface.
At this moment, his heart became clear, exquisite, and translucent, and it was like a clear spring that was tinkling.
If others saw Lu Qingshan's state, they would definitely be amazed.
This was a pure and innocent heart!
At this time, Lu Qingshan had washed away the lead dust.
He was enlightened.
If the string was stretched taut, it would snap sooner or later.
Only when there was a balance between tension and relaxation could one unleash greater power.
On this day, Lu Qingshan stopped in his tracks, his eyes shining brightly.
"It's really fast this time."
The constant killing had made his heart incomparably resolute, but it had also caused him to fall into a dead end.
In this short half a month of emptying his mind, his mind had undergone a transformation, a cleansing of his heart.
Of course, such good things could not happen all the time.
More often than not, it was a chemical reaction caused by the accumulation of experience and the cleansing of his heart for the first time.
"No wonder Li Qiubai chose to leave the Taiyi Sword Sect back then and roam the Human Realm alone …" Lu Qingshan felt that his inspiration was surging like a spring.
The sword moves that he could not continue to deduce were breaking through layer by layer.
"Based on my current progress, it won't be long before I can completely deduce the second style of the secret sword." He murmured, his heart filled with joy.
At this moment, Lu Qingshan heard the clamor of people.
He jerked his head up.
A city came into view in front of him.
Yu City.
Unknowingly, he had arrived at a new city.
"Let's call it a day for this trip." Lu Qingshan whispered to himself.
According to the current situation, it would not be long before his second style of the secret sword would be perfect. There was indeed no need to travel anymore.
But at this moment, Lu Qingshan's heart skipped a beat. As if he had sensed something, he hurriedly took out a token with the words' Xiu Chun 'engraved on it from his mustard seed.
A communication token.
At this moment, the surface of this token was floating with a layer of dense red light.
This meant that the token had been activated and a message had been received.
And within the token was Dantai Qingrun's communication imprint.
The communication imprint had a distance limit. As long as the two parties were separated by a certain distance, the transmitted message would be like a stone sinking into the sea, without causing any ripples.
However, as a cultivator of Xiu Chun, Dantai Qingrun's communication imprint was rather special in order to ensure that some important messages could be transmitted in a timely manner when necessary.
When sending out an urgent message, Dantai Qingrun could borrow the channel of Zhishou Building, through the response of many Zhishou Building branches at the same time to achieve the effect of large-scale coverage.
In other words, even if Lu Qingshan was extremely far away from Dantai Qingrun, as long as there was a Zhishou Building branch nearby, he would still be able to receive the message sent by Dantai Qingrun through this channel from thousands of miles away.
However, such a message consumed a lot of resources.
Therefore, only an extremely important message would be transmitted in this way.
At the same time, the color of the message sent through this channel was also different. It was the most eye-catching red.
In other words, this was an urgent message!
"Dantai Qingrun is looking for me for something urgent?" Lu Qingshan frowned, a bad premonition rising in his heart. He hurriedly sent his spiritual sense into the token to receive the message.
"Danger!"
This was the first message. It came out of nowhere, like a warning, but it did not explain the specific situation, making it difficult to discern the meaning within.
However, this was not the end. Following this, there was a second message in the token.
"Dantai Qingrun is currently in our hands. Her life is at our mercy.
Lu Qingshan, if you want to save her life, head to Blade Island in Leizhou alone within three days. Do not inform anyone else. If you do not care about her life, then do as you wish. "
Seeing this message, Lu Qingshan's pupils suddenly constricted. An unprecedented killing intent and anger immediately surged in his heart.
How could he not understand that someone was targeting him? They were using Dantai Qingrun as an example to force him into a trap.
Dantai Qingrun was a cultivator of Xiu Chun and had an official status.
However, even someone like Dantai Qingrun had become someone else's pawn to force him to show himself. One could only imagine how powerful the person behind this was.
It went without saying that Blade Island would be a tiger's den and a dragon's pool.
"What's wrong, Young Master?" Qin Yitian asked, seeing that Lu Qingshan's expression was off.
Lu Qingshan hesitated, but finally relayed the message he had just received to Qin Yitian.
"Is it for … me?" Qin Yitian asked hesitantly.
"It should be." Lu Qingshan nodded.
The person behind this clearly could not be a cultivator from the Hades. It could only be a cultivator from the Da Xia Kingdom. And it had to be someone of high status.
A cultivator from the Da Xia Kingdom harbored ill intentions toward Lu Qingshan and made such a big fuss about it. The only other reason was that they were here for the Doctrine Artifact.
"I'm sorry," Qin Yitian said gently.
"It's not your fault." Lu Qingshan smiled. "If I were a Sword Immortal, who would dare to target me?"
It was just like how the saying of "femme fatale" was widely spread. But was it really true?
Actually, it was his own problem.
Qin Yitian was silent for a moment. Then, she asked again, "What are you going to do now, Young Master?"
"Since you've invited me, it would be impolite of me to refuse," Lu Qingshan said coldly.
First of all, he and Tantai Qingrun had a deep friendship and had known each other for a long time.
Just the fact that Dantai Qingrun had been framed because of him meant that he could not just stand by and watch. He had to save her.
There was no doubt about that.
"It's very dangerous," Qin Yitian said.
If he was not mistaken, the first message he received from the communication token should have been sent by Dantai Qingrun to Lu Qingshan before the incident. She only wanted to warn him that something was amiss.
In addition, Lu Qingshan's strength was also seen by everyone. Since the enemy had set up a trap and invited him in, how could he be careless? He definitely had absolute confidence in his success.
"To the outside world, they only know that I can kill Soul Formation cultivators. They don't know that my sword talismans and the blood-stained battleship I got from Qing Ge are my trump cards," Lu Qingshan explained.
Whether it was the sword talismans or the blood-stained battleship, they were both super Dharma artifacts. Normal people would not be able to predict them.
Who would be so free as to assume that a Void Refinement cultivator had seven sword talismans that could instantly kill a Fusion cultivator and a battleship that was immune to attacks from cultivators below the eighth level?
In other words, if they wanted to kill Lu Qingshan, they would have to send out cultivators of the eighth level.
Sending out Tribulation cultivators just to deal with a Void Refinement cultivator?
This wasn't being meticulous and careful. It was purely because there was something wrong with his head.
Clearly, an enemy who could go against Lu Qingshan like this could not be mentally ill.
This was where Lu Qingshan's confidence came from.
.....
This was a sea of fog. Everywhere was a hazy gray fog.
In the center of the fog was an island with a strange shape. It was as steep as a blade.
Blade Island.
This was where the warden of the Zhishou Building of Xing Province's Xing Province was located. Many stubborn Devil Cultivators were locked up here. It was gloomy all day long.
Rumble.
The seawater roared and slammed against the shore of Blade Island, creating thunderous booms.
Just then, the sky outside the Blade Island's formation rumbled. The continuous fog parted to both sides, revealing a passage.
A huge blood-stained battleship appeared with an ancient aura.
At the head of the battleship, Lu Qingshan wore a black robe. His eyes were filled with killing intent.
He had come. His killing intent was especially strong.
"I'm here. Hand over Dantai Qingrun." Lu Qingshan's voice suddenly rang out, causing heaven and earth to tremble. The rumbling from all directions also spread to the fog-shrouded Blade Island.
Inside Blade Island.
Three of them instantly opened their eyes. At this moment, a glint flashed across their eyes.
"This is Lu Qingshan!"
"What powerful spiritual power!" The three of them looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"However, no matter how powerful his spiritual power is, he's still a Void Refinement cultivator. He hasn't even cultivated Origin Force, let alone us who have cultivated the Law Domain." The three of them pondered for a moment. Then, a slightly younger middle-aged male cultivator snorted coldly.
The three of them were all Unity Stage cultivators. They had already formed the Law Domain and were unrivaled.
Killing a Deity Transformation cultivator was as easy as snapping a finger, let alone a Void Refinement cultivator who hadn't even cultivated any elemental force.
"It's best that we don't do it ourselves. It won't be good if we get into trouble."
The oldest of the three Body Integration cultivators replied in an experienced manner, "Some sects will use some special measures on their disciples. If someone kills their disciple, these measures will take effect and help them track down the culprit and exact revenge."
"Besides, even without these methods, Lu Qingshan is being protected by the Tianji Observatory. Who knows what the Tianji Observatory will find out?"
"We don't want to cut off our own path of survival."
Another cultivator agreed. "That's true. Besides, they're looking down on us by asking the three of us to take on a Void Refinement cultivator."
"Although he can kill six cultivators, the feast we've arranged for him this time should be enough." The corners of the old cultivator's mouth curled into a cold smile. "This is what the Sword Sect said. They won't care if a cultivator of the same or higher level attacks him."
"Let's do it," he said.
On the other side.
Outside Blade Island.
Lu Qingshan stood on the blood-stained warship, staring intently at the giant formation that enveloped Blade Island.
At that moment, the seawater roared. Hazy black figures appeared in the mist that filled the sky.
One figure after another appeared in the mist. In the end, there were so many of them that they were densely packed together.
There were more than two hundred cultivators.
All of them were Soul Formation cultivators.
"Sir, there's some trouble." Qin Yitian's voice was tinged with worry.
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.
This momentum was comparable to half a month ago when the cultivators of the Hades tried to kill him.
Then, Lu Qingshan frowned.
"It's not just a little trouble," he murmured and glanced around.
This was because there were two more terrifying Yin Ghosts emerging from the mist.
They were yin ghosts formed by gathering the power of all the formations on Blade Island. Enormous power floated around them.
The two yin ghosts were comparable to a level-seven Unity Stage cultivator. However, they lacked the signature and powerful Law Domain of a Unity Stage cultivator.
They swam through the mist like fish in water. They were incomparably free and let out shrill cries.
Lu Qingshan could vaguely see that the two yin ghosts were old women.
The two hundred or so Divine Transformation cultivators had already formed an extremely orderly encirclement, surrounding Lu Qingshan in the center.
He was like a sheep caught in a pack of wolves. He was incomparably weak.
Mocking laughter rang out from the hundreds of Soul Formation cultivators.
An extremely young cultivator in gray robes flew out from the crowd and landed in front of everyone. The other Soul Formation cultivators immediately made way for him respectfully.
The cultivator in gray stretched out a hand. The two yin ghosts that were comparable to Unity Stage cultivators in the black mist were already standing behind him.
Blood-red light flashed in the eyes of the two yin ghosts. They were filled with intense bloodlust.
The cultivator in gray stared intently at Lu Qingshan, whose expression remained unchanged. His eyes were incomparably deep.
"You're … Lu Qingshan?"
