This figure that suddenly appeared began to carefully investigate the Thousand Carp Park.
His goal was very simple. First, he wanted to carefully inspect the concealment measures of the Thousand Carp Park to see if there were any loopholes.
Just like after a flood, regardless of whether there were any problems, he needed to carefully inspect the sluice gate again.
Second, he wanted to see if Lu Qingshan and Mo Yan had left any tricks behind.
After a quick inspection, he confirmed that there were no loopholes in the measures due to the passage of time and that there were no other abnormalities. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
Seeing that everything was fine, the Daoist figure immediately reached out with his hand. As if pulling open a curtain, a glittering crack appeared in the empty space beside him.
The crack was not big, but it was not small either. It was several meters long and wide, enough for two people to pass through. Moreover, one could faintly see the scenery inside the crack.
Without any hesitation, he lifted his leg and stepped into the crack, disappearing from sight.
Soon after, the crack quickly closed as if nothing had happened.
Everything was calm.
Fifteen minutes later.
In the Thousand Carp Park, a dim longsword suddenly regained its divine light and turned into a blazing red sword light. It first silently traveled close to the ground for dozens of miles before increasing its speed. Finally, it broke through the sky and disappeared into the horizon with a sonic boom.
.....
"Boom!"
On a mountain peak several thousand miles away from the Thousand Carp Park, Mo Yan heard a familiar thunderous sonic boom.
He raised his head and saw a red light rapidly flying towards him from the sky.
The red light was a flying sword. Its entire body was blazing red and sparkling like fire jade.
Mo Yan was also very familiar with this flying sword.
It was Lu Qingshan's Natal Sword, the Natal Sword that was passed down as a Dao Artifact.
As an expert, Mo Yan recognized the term 'Dao Artifact' in his heart.
This was because the Dragon Sparrow had a profound charm, great power, and profound mysteries. Apart from a Dao Artifact, he could not think of any other artifact that could compare to it.
The Dragon Sparrow emitted an astonishing fluctuation and did not stop at all. It shot straight towards Lu Qingshan like a bolt of lightning and disappeared into his body.
"Did you find anything?" Lu Qingshan asked in his mind.
"Yes," Qin Yitian answered obediently and explained the situation in detail. "There's a very special secondary space in the Thousand Carp Park."
The secondary space?
"It's a special little realm that overlaps with our main domain. Although it overlaps with our main domain, its space doesn't belong to the same space."
It was a little roundabout, but it wasn't hard to understand.
In layman's terms, it meant that the three dimensions overlapped, but the fourth dimension was located in a different location.
To put it simply, it was similar to the situation where the two objects were located at the same point on a planar map, but the height was different.
This was also why Lu Qingshan couldn't find anyone even though he clearly felt the peach blossom imprint in front of him.
Lu Qingshan frowned and asked again, "What's in the little realm?"
"Spiritual Qi," Qin Yitian said. "Incredibly dense Spiritual Qi. I even saw Spiritual Qi storms wreaking havoc in the Lesser Realm."
"Young Master, it's normal for Blessed Grotto-Heavens built on spirit veins to have abundant Spiritual Qi. For example, the Sword Sect's Spiritual Qi is abnormally dense.
However, the strange thing is that the Spiritual Qi in the Lesser Realm is rather impure. The Spiritual Qi from the spirit veins should be very pure. "
"Impure Spiritual Qi can't be absorbed and refined either," Lu Qingshan agreed after a pause.
"So, the Spiritual Qi in the Lesser Realm should be man-made."
"Why would a devil cultivator gather so much spirit energy in the Thousand Carp Park? It's not like they wanted to create a paradise for cultivation. Why would they be so careful in concealing the minor world?" At this point, Lu Qingshan felt that something was amiss.
Then, he thought of something and hurriedly took out a detailed map of the Central Spirit Region from his mustard seed.
Mo Yan couldn't hear the conversation between Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian, but when he saw Lu Qingshan's actions, he guessed that Lu Qingshan must have discovered something new. He hurriedly came over.
Lu Qingshan's gaze wandered over the map and gradually shone.
He had already sensed that something was wrong.
"Look at these points …" Lu Qingshan stretched out his finger and drew a line on the map.
The starting point was the Thousand Carp Park.
After that was the Ice Feather Forest, followed by Wood Carving Cave, Thousand Pine Mountain, Jianlong Pond, Weeping Sky Valley, and Splendid Peak. After that, the end point was the frontline battlefield.
Mo Yan's gaze followed Lu Qingshan's finger. He was also a shrewd person and immediately sensed that something was wrong. "These are the Spirit Beast Gardens where the Spirit Huan Sect once reared demon beasts. They've all been abandoned."
"If you hadn't pointed it out, I wouldn't have noticed anything wrong." Mo Yan valued Lu Qingshan's reminder very much. He said in a low voice, "When you pointed, I realized that these Spirit Beast Gardens abandoned by the Spirit Huan Sect are actually on the same line …"
"From the map, these points are connected like an arrow." His voice grew softer and softer. He had discovered something extremely terrifying.
"The direction of the arrow points straight to the frontline battlefield!" Mo Yan was extremely shocked. He even cried out involuntarily.
On the map, the Thousand Carp Park, Ice Feather Forest, Wood Carving Cave, Thousand Pine Mountain, Jianlong Pond, Weeping Sky Valley, and Splendid Peak lined up to form a Devil Will Arrow. It pointed straight to the frontline battlefield where most of the human cultivators were gathered, including the Sword Sect cultivators!
"Brother Lu, what do you mean?" Mo Yan looked at Lu Qingshan in bewilderment.
Lu Qingshan nodded. "I left some tricks in the Thousand Carp Park just now."
"Through these tricks, I discovered that not long after my mark was erased, a Devil Cultivator from the Spirit Huan Sect mysteriously appeared in the Thousand Carp Park …" Lu Qingshan relayed what Qin Yitian had seen to Mo Yan.
Mo Yan did not ask Lu Qingshan about the specifics of the trick. Instead, he immediately understood what Lu Qingshan meant. "The Spirit Huan Devil Cultivators are using a certain method to accumulate heterogeneous Spirit Qi into the Little World.
Once the Spirit Qi accumulates to a sufficient concentration, it will clash due to its heterogeneous nature, forming a violent Spirit Qi storm. "
Although Little Worlds could not be said to be common in the Cultivation World, especially to some large sects, they were definitely not considered rare.
Regardless of whether it was the Mountain Sea Pavilion's Void World or the Sword Sect's Sword Stele Mystic Realm, they were all Little Worlds.
The final round of the Seven Regions Dao Debate was also held in Little Worlds.
As one of the Seven Great Dao Sects of the human race, the Spirit Huan Sect had many Realm Nine cultivators. They were skilled in rearing demon beasts and had more experience than other sects when it came to building an area rich in Spirit Qi and gathering and controlling Spirit Qi.
The flow of Spirit Qi was a very complicated matter. If one wanted to cultivate spirit beasts of high quality, the requirements for Spirit Qi were extremely strict.
In the ten thousand years of rearing spirit beasts, they would definitely encounter all kinds of unexpected situations. The flow of Spirit Qi would be abnormal, heterogeneous, reverse, and so on.
Through continuous processing, they would definitely conclude a unique system that allowed them to control Spirit Qi to a certain extent.
To them, Little Worlds were even less of a problem.
"And at this time," Lu Qingshan continued, "when the Spirit Washing Demon Cultivator opens up the Small Realm and releases these violent spirit energy storms, it will create a scene where a violent spirit energy tide surges forward like a floodgate opening."
"If the same Little Worlds and Spirit Qi storms exist in the other six abandoned Spirit Beast Gardens other than the Thousand Carp Park and are released one after another …
After seven consecutive layers, the Spirit Qi storms would be unimaginably violent. It would even cause the originally stable and pure Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth to fall into a state of frenzy. At that time, the range would become larger and larger, and it would form a Spirit Sea Tide that could destroy everything … "
"And according to the direction of the arrow, the Spirit Sea Tide would wreak havoc from the east to the west. It would bring immeasurable destruction to the cultivators on the frontlines …" Mo Yan's voice grew colder. In the face of such a great disaster, even a Realm Eight cultivator might not be able to guarantee their safety. "At that time, under the impact of the Spirit Sea Tide, the Middle Spirits would completely lose the power to resist the Demons!"
Lu Qingshan judged, "This kind of possibility, even if it is only a possibility, must be eliminated."
The consequences were too terrifying, and not something that the human race could bear.
Currently, the cultivator army on the frontlines was the last resistance that the Seven Domains of the human race could organize.
Once something happened to them, the Middle Spirits could only surrender.
"Two things. First, immediately go back and confirm the reason for the abandonment of the seven Spirit Beast Gardens. Second, confirm the situation on the frontlines again, and verify if our guess is correct." Lu Qingshan said decisively, "Also, immediately report this information to the cultivator in charge on the frontlines."
This was a very wise choice.
Although in the current situation where they lacked manpower, it was very reckless to report this matter without verification and confirmation, because this would undoubtedly involve a large portion of the Middle Spirits' energy.
But compared to this negative influence, the safety of the entire Middle Spirits was undoubtedly much more important.
The cultivators in charge had to be mentally prepared in advance, and make the corresponding preparations.
After all, no one knew if the Spirit Qi storms would erupt, and when they would erupt.
Lu Qingshan and Mo Yan were both decisive people. Since they had made a decision, of course they would immediately act.
For such a big matter, they didn't dare to delay any longer.
.....
Dome City.
This was Pomelo State's capital, located in the center of Pomelo State — — If there were no unexpected circumstances, most of the capital cities were located in the center of the state region, making it convenient to radiate the entire state region.
And at this time, the human race had established the first line of defense in the three western cities of Pomelo State, blocking the Demons.
Naturally, Dome City became the "command center".
"The seven Spirit Beast Gardens were all abandoned at the time point of Chang 'an's sixteen thousand five hundred years. The difference in time is no more than ten years." In the Dome City's City Lord's Mansion, Lu Qingshan took out a few jade slips and placed them in front of Mo Yan, and continued, "Also, the reason for the abandonment of these seven Spirit Beast Gardens was the exhaustion of the spirit veins."
"What a coincidence …"
"How can there be such a coincidence? It's obvious that these spirit veins were exhausted because the Spirit Washing Devil Cultivators were extracting Spirit Qi!" Mo Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Since three thousand five hundred years ago, the Spirit Washing Devil Cultivators had been preparing for this day. What a deep plan, what deep foresight …"
Lu Qingshan's eyes flickered slightly.
The Demons were truly a terrifying enemy.
A long, long time ago, the Demons had foreseen this day, and had made preparations for it, leaving behind a backup plan.
"What's the situation in the three cities of Horseshoe, Ox Horn, and Tiger Head?" Mo Yan asked again.
"Tragic, incomparably tragic. The plains outside the three cities have become a meat grinder. Because we don't have a strong enough formation, we can only use the lives of our cultivators to delay the Demons' attack. Thousands of cultivators are sacrificed every day," Lu Qingshan said slowly.
"But …" He paused for a moment, then continued, "Behind the tragic situation, there's something unusual."
"On the frontline battlefield, the Demons have sent out eighth-grade and ninth-grade Demons. They seem to have a huge formation, but if you look closely, you'll realize that Devil Cultivators at the level of Devil Lords have never made a move before. So, the defense line is still impregnable …"
"The cultivator in charge originally thought that the Demons wanted to exhaust more of our strength, so he didn't take these slight abnormalities to heart.
Speaking of which, to the ruler of the Demons, other than the Devil Lords, other Demons of other levels should be worthless "consumables". Using them to exchange with our human cultivators is indeed something they would do. It's reasonable. "
"But now that we've combined our guesses, we'll realize that there's a different and reasonable explanation for this abnormality." Lu Qingshan's expression was grave. "The Demons' Devil Lords didn't make a move. They're wasting time with us because they don't want to break through our defense line with their own strength. Instead, they want to rely on the Spirit Tide to break through the formation without shedding a drop of blood."
"After all, if they want to break through the city head-on, even if they're far stronger than us, they'll need at least a few Devil Lords to fall."
"And with the help of the Spirit Tide, the Demons only need to sacrifice some consumables that aren't important to them." Lu Qingshan had been in the Abyss before, so he was very familiar with the Demons' situation. He was very confident that he could come to a conclusion about the Demons' intentions.
His judgment couldn't be wrong.
Combined with these two pieces of news, the demon race's plan to set off a wave of spiritual energy behind the three cities was at least 98% likely to succeed, if not 100%.
Mo Yan's expression was as cold as ice. "Brother Lu, you've already informed your sect's Peak Master, right?"
Lu Qingshan nodded.
Actually, as the Sword Sect's Young Master, Xie Qingyun had given him a communication token that could be used to contact him directly.
So Lu Qingshan had already informed Xie Qingyun of this news at the first moment.
However, the news of Xie Qingyun ascending to the Middle Spirit Stage was top secret and definitely couldn't be leaked. Even if it was Mo Yan, Lu Qingshan wouldn't tell him.
"I've received your news. I'll personally verify this matter." At this moment, Lu Qingshan received a transmission from Xie Qingyun in his mind.
Xie Qingyun was actually in Qiong Ding City at this moment.
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but feel happy. Ever since they left Yi Shui Tai, no one knew where Xie Qingyun was.
Not only Lu Qingshan, even the other three Peak Masters didn't know.
For such a shocking matter, there was nothing more reassuring than leaving it to Xie Qingyun to manage.
Lu Qingshan rejoiced in his heart, but he didn't know that Xie Qingyun had mixed feelings in his heart at this moment.
He originally thought that Lu Qingshan's Sixth Level cultivation base was just a drop in the ocean in a war between Taoists and Devils of this level. It wasn't enough, and he wouldn't be of any use.
So in order to protect Lu Qingshan, he restricted Lu Qingshan to be in charge of patrolling the rear and assisting in the evacuation work.
But who would have thought that in just a few days, before there were any major movements on the front line, Lu Qingshan who was at the rear brought such shocking news.
If this was true, Lu Qingshan's discovery was equivalent to saving the Middle Spirit Allied Forces from disaster. No one dared to imagine the magnitude of his contribution.
"It just had to be him, it just so happened to be him …"
There were so many patrolling cultivators at the rear, but it just had to be Lu Qingshan who discovered this matter.
It really was "gold would shine no matter where it went" …
"Descending Divine Origin …" Xie Qingyun muttered, "My Sword Sect's Young Master, could it really be that Divine Origin Sword?"
Green Cloud Sword Immortal silently left the city as he was lost in his thoughts.
