The only problem was that when the "God Slaying" event started, the plot in "Nine Heavens" had already reached the 212th year of the Immortal Martial Era.
And now, the human race had only reached the seventh year of the Divine Origin Era.
In other words, it was the seventh year of the Immortal Martial Era.
Wouldn't the difference of two hundred years make a huge difference in the Black Abyss?
Was the Blood Devil Master already in the Black Abyss?
Or perhaps, because of the earlier time, the Demon in the Black Abyss wasn't the Blood Devil Master, but an even more powerful existence?
However, regardless of whether it was the Blood Devil Master or some other Demon Master, as an eighth rank Demon Cultivator, Lu Qingshan definitely didn't have the ability to pry into them.
If he couldn't beat them, then he'd ask for help from a "god".
Lu Qingshan strolled through the streets of Huyan City, thinking about which great god he should ask for help.
If he asked for help from the Heaven's Secrets Temple …
First, he was an outer sect cultivator, after all. The Water Moon Observatory Head had already treated him kindly enough. If he asked for help again and again, it would be like asking for a yard after getting an inch.
Second, and most importantly, the Heaven's Secrets Temple's Spirit Cultivators weren't good at fighting, and the Water Moon Observatory Head was only at the eighth rank.
Lu Qingshan wasn't sure. If there really was a Demon Master in the Black Abyss, would she have the ability to face him?
If she couldn't beat him, and some disaster happened, then it wouldn't be good.
In terms of individual cultivators' fighting strength, the Sword Sect was without a doubt the strongest among the Seven Great Dao Sects.
After all, sword cultivators were a group of cultivators who were good at killing.
In that case, asking for help from Xia Daoyun was undoubtedly the best choice.
Xia Daoyun was Lu Qingshan's master, and she doted on this disciple of his. Their relationship could be said to be very close, and she also had the strength to deal with an eighth rank Demon Master …
He just didn't know if it was convenient for his master, and if she could help.
Lu Qingshan muttered to himself.
Recently, there had been a lot of trouble. First of all, the Demons at Jade Gate Pass had caused quite a commotion.
Lu Qingshan obviously knew what the Demons were up to. He also told Xia Daoyun about "Huang"'s appearance in the Burning Moon Realm.
So, everyone understood that this was absolutely not a deceptive formation set up by the Demons, and a storm was really brewing. The Sword Sect didn't dare slack off in the slightest, and they'd already taken a stance of waiting for the storm.
In addition, the Sword Sect had to divert some of its attention to investigate the Spirit Huan Sect.
If he did not get to the bottom of the Spirit Huan Sect, it would be like having a malignant tumor growing in his heart, making him feel uneasy.
Last but not least, Master had just passed the 69 Heavenly Tribulations and needed time to stabilize his cultivation.
In this type of situation, Xia Daoyun really might not be able to free herself.
It was better to first send a message back to the sect to ask about the situation.
If Shizun really couldn't find the time, he would think of another way.
Lu Qingshan quickly made his decision. His spirits were roused as he lifted his head. In the next instant, he was first taken aback, before a faint smile appeared on his face.
It seemed that there was no need to go through so much trouble.
A thin middle-aged man appeared on the streets of Huxiao City and walked towards him.
The man was empty-handed, but his Sword Will soared into the heavens. It was a rare sight in the world.
Lu Qingshan hurriedly walked forward slowly. He stopped in front of the middle-aged man.
He cupped his fists and said, "Congratulations, Senior, for improving your cultivation."
A further improvement in his Sword Will was a further improvement in his Sword Path.
Compared to when they parted, Li Qiubai's Sword Will was undoubtedly more profound.
Li Qiubai, who was known as a Sword Immortal and was actually at Level Eight, didn't say anything. He merely sized up this young man who had stirred up a storm in the Human Realm recently. Even he couldn't help but pay attention to him.
A moment later, he finally said slowly, "Your cultivation is improving very quickly."
When they parted a month ago, Lu Qingshan was only at the peak of the Void Refinement realm. Now, he was already at the peak of the Soul Formation realm.
Saying that he improved by leaps and bounds was probably an understatement.
"I have some providence and opportunity." In front of a Sword Immortal, Lu Qingshan didn't try to fool him.
"Providence …" Li Qiubai muttered. He nodded and emphasized, "It's good that you have providence."
Chang 'an's Sword Immortal, Li Qiubai.
Lu Qingshan didn't expect to meet this important person again in this small city of Northern Qing.
"Senior, did you happen to pass by this place, or …?" Lu Qingshan asked.
The Human Realm was so vast. It was too much of a coincidence for him to meet Li Qiubai again in such a small city.
Li Qiubai's Qi was reserved. Only a true Sword Cultivator could sense his Sword Will.
He didn't put on the airs of a Sword Immortal. He smiled as if he was chatting with a junior. He said amiably, "I'm here to see you."
Lu Qingshan raised an eyebrow. He was puzzled.
"I heard about you. I feel that your cultivation progress is too strange. I want to see if you've encountered any problems," Li Qiubai said with a smile.
Lu Qingshan was relieved. There was a strange and indescribable feeling in his heart.
He didn't expect a Sword Dao senior whom he met by chance to be so concerned about his situation. It made him feel like he was being guided and taken care of.
"Very good. Your cultivation is stable and your foundation is solid. It seems that I underestimated you." Li Qiubai finally confirmed Lu Qingshan's current situation. He smiled and said softly, "The new generation surpasses the old. The Sword Dao today seems to be much more prosperous than it was in Chang 'an."
Lu Qingshan had mixed feelings. He could understand Li Qiubai's thoughts.
As the well-deserved leader of the Sword Dao today, it seemed natural for him to pay attention to a promising junior who was very much to his liking.
This was also the unique temperament of a Sword Cultivator.
Because the Sword Dao was an Acquired Dao, an unknown path.
How did a Sword Cultivator become an Immortal and an Ancestor?
At first, no one knew.
But there were countless Sword Cultivators. Like a torch, generation after generation, they explored and diligently pursued it.
In order to become a Sword Immortal and advance to the Ancestor Realm, the path they took was the path of Sword Immortals, the ancestral path, and the Sword Dao.
It was also because of this that the relationship between Sword Cultivators was somewhat different from that of other schools.
Because everyone was working hard for the same goal, it was just that they walked at different speeds and at different times.
It was a bit like those people who were working for the same revolution back then. They were not related by blood, but their friendship was extremely deep.
However, now that Li Qiubai had come to him, Lu Qingshan had a lot of ideas.
He smiled honestly and asked, "I heard that you fought with Prince Qing a few days ago and defeated him. You also forced him to go to Chang 'an for investigation?"
Li Qiubai nodded slightly. "It's the father's fault for not teaching his son well. Besides, he may not be innocent."
Lu Qingshan agreed. "That's true."
Then, he suddenly changed the topic and said, "Senior, have you heard about Xue Tu?"
"Xue Tu?" Li Qiubai frowned and stared at Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan was not in the mood to keep Li Qiubai in suspense. He quickly briefed Li Qiubai on the cause and effect of Xue Tu.
"Prince Qing, Xue Tu, wanted to advance to the Ancestor Realm? Are you sure? " Li Qiubai was a little shocked. The corner of his eyes twitched slightly. He asked in a deep voice, "So, you're here to investigate this matter?"
"That's right." Lu Qingshan said, "I've gained some information so far, but there's still a place I haven't gone to. There should be more information there."
"Whether it's true or not, we'll know when the time comes."
"Is that place very dangerous?" Li Qiubai saw through Lu Qingshan's intention at a glance.
Lu Qingshan did not hide it. He grinned and said, "Yes, if it's convenient for you, I'd like to invite you to take a look at the situation with me."
"Where?"
"Qing Province, Ming Yuan."
.....
It was a vast iceberg plain with an area of tens of millions of square miles. A biting cold wind blew.
The vast snowfield and the snow-capped peaks pierced into the clouds. The rising sun shone brightly on the white snowfield, emitting a colorful light under the reflection. It was very charming.
At this time, a sword cultivator came from the sky on his sword, leaving a white trail behind him.
Swoosh swoosh!
Finally, the sword light stopped in front of a deep pit.
Although it was called a pit … it was actually an abyss. One could not see the bottom at a glance. It was dark and unfathomable. It covered an extremely large area.
Looking from the sky, it looked like the earth had been hollowed out. There was a faint suction force coming from it, and a thick layer of gray miasma was spreading out.
This was the Ming Yuan, a forbidden area full of danger.
This was a barren land, surrounded by miasma all day long. Fierce miasma beasts and monsters were everywhere, making this place a chaotic and bloody place. It was deserted all day long.
The sword light dissipated, and two figures emerged from it.
"This is the place," Lu Qingshan said.
Li Qiubai glanced at the Ming Yuan, nodded slightly, and said casually, "Then let's go in and have a look."
To him, investigating Dark Abyss didn't require him to sneak in silently, nor did he need much planning.
This was confidence in his own strength.
With that, Li Qiubai leaped into the Ming Yuan.
Lu Qingshan hurriedly followed closely behind, moving in the direction of the slight suction force within the abyss.
Speaking of which, this was not his first time here, and he was somewhat familiar with the place.
The two of them kept falling. The poisonous miasma around them surged, but they kept it outside with their primary force.
Whoosh!
The air around them let out an ear-piercing howl, and the surrounding miasma and rock walls swept past them like phantoms.
After a long time, a layer of rock and ice finally appeared below them, indicating that they had reached the bottom.
In a flash, the two of them landed on the layer of rock and ice.
Looking around, as far as the eye could see, there was a vast expanse of gray mountains, forests, wastelands, and swamps everywhere. The geographical environment was very strange.
In the Abyss of Darkness, there was an atmosphere of its own. It was like a small world.
A rotten and fishy smell wafted over, making one unable to help covering their nose.
From time to time, ear-piercing howls could be heard from afar. Through the dense foliage, one could vaguely see the shadows of wild beasts.
Most importantly, the gray miasma drifted throughout the entire Ming Yuan. It was also because of this thin layer of gray mist that one could not see clearly from too far away.
Wild beasts that could live in the miasma-filled Ming Yuan's Abyss, even the most ordinary of them, had strength close to that of a Fourth Grade Martial Artist. It was no wonder that the Ming Yuan was regarded as a forbidden area.
Rip!
Just then, an ear-piercing howl could be heard.
A gray demon snake suddenly emerged from the ground, turning into a streak of flowing light. In an instant, it was close to the two of them. The snake opened its mouth and spat out a ball of extremely insidious venom toward Lu Qingshan.
Poof!
Li Qiubai, who was standing at the side, simply glared and crushed the demon snake. The venom also evaporated into thin air.
"This is the Miasma Demon of the Ming Yuan," Lu Qingshan thought.
It was a pity that the Miasma Demon was so blind and courted death by attacking him. Li Qiubai did not even make a move. He merely used the pressure of his consciousness to crush the Miasma Demon.
"Senior Li, follow me," Lu Qingshan, who had recovered from the shock, said respectfully to Li Qiubai.
The Ming Yuan was huge. Even a Sword Immortal would need to spend a lot of time to explore it.
This was also the reason why Lu Qingshan did not directly entrust the mission to Li Qiubai, but instead wanted to come along.
He still clearly remembered the specific location where the Blood Devil Master appeared in the Ming Yuan in his previous life. This would undoubtedly save a lot of time and make things easier for Li Qiubai.
Lu Qingshan looked around. After determining the direction, he led the way in front, heading towards the east. They travelled at an astonishing speed within the vast Black Abyss.
Li Qiubai followed behind unhurriedly. Looking at Lu Qingshan's back, a strange glint flashed in his eyes.
An hour later.
"We're here!" Lu Qingshan looked at the area where the Blood Devil Master appeared in his previous life and was shocked.
"Sure enough, the Ming Yuan is related to this incident!"
Li Qiubai, who was following Lu Qingshan, narrowed his eyes and narrowed his eyes.
In an area not far in front of them, a layer of black Devil Qi rolled out from the gray miasma. It was shockingly thick.
In the area shrouded by the black Demonic Qi, there were still many silhouettes appearing indistinctly.
Just by looking closely, one would find that these figures had strange appearances. Although they were somewhat humanoid, they were completely different from humans.
Because the identities of these figures were ….
Abyss Devil Cultivators!
.....
Two flowers bloomed, one on each branch.
Chang 'an, Xiang Long Mansion.
In the mansion's hall.
Prince Qing was sitting on the main seat.
In the hall, there was a blurry black figure formed by fog.
"Xuan Zun, you're finally willing to enter the realm," Prince Qing said in a deep voice.
This black figure was created by Xuan Zun using a spell.
"It doesn't matter whether I'm early or late. Anyway, there's no delay." A hoarse voice came from the black figure.
"Are you ready?" the black figure asked again.
"I've been ready for a long time. I'm just waiting for you." Prince Qing looked forward with a calm expression.
"Oh … I'm the only one in the entire Giant Spirit Demon Clan in the Tianmen Region who has the ability to refine the Blood Essence that is enough for you to advance to the Half Martial Ancestor Realm in such a short period of time." The black figure laughed in a hoarse voice.
In terms of strength, Xuan Zun was the leader of the Four Venerables of the Giant Beings. He was the undisputed number one Devil Cultivator in the Tianmen Region.
After pausing for a moment, the hoarse voice continued, "You should also know how time-consuming it is to refine the blood essence of ten million people, most of which are high grade cultivators."
"I understand." Prince Qing was very calm. "Don't worry, I won't go back on my word. I won't let you work for nothing."
"That's good … We'll both benefit if we work together. Hehe, I'll be there soon. Just get ready." With that, the fog dissipated and completely disappeared.
Suddenly, the hall became empty.
After a while, a figure appeared at the door. Prince Qing's trusted subordinate, Jiu Xuan, strode in.
"Prince Qing, everything is in place," Jiu Xuan said respectfully.
Prince Qing nodded slowly.
"It's time for another Ancestor to appear in the human race.
After this battle, I'll definitely quell the danger of the Demons and completely solve the problem of the human race. I'll complete the great task that Ancestor Xia failed to accomplish back then. "
His solemn expression flashed with a smile, a look of relief, and a trace of malevolence.
