The direction of escape was also a matter of knowledge, because Lu Qingshan could not be sure which direction the demon reinforcements would come from.
If he was unlucky and chose the direction of the Demons' reinforcements, he would meet them head-on.
Regarding this point, Lu Qingshan's choice was that since he could not confirm the direction that Ye Xiwen was coming from, he might as well wait for Ye Xiwen to come before leaving.
With a flash of sword light, he flew several thousand miles away. Then, he stopped and stopped on a steep mountain.
This place was desolate and remote. Even if the Demons used their Soul Consciousness to explore inch by inch, they would need some time to reach this place.
The two of them found a cave. Mo Yan conveniently set up a few concealment restrictions, and the two of them rested there for the time being.
Mo Yan also needed some time to recover his strength.
The Deviant Flame Lotus from before had almost drained him dry.
After everything was set up, Lu Qingshan casually waved his hand, and several green spiritual lights flew towards Mo Yan.
Mo Yan subconsciously reached out his hand to catch them. Looking at the lotus roots in his hand, he asked in surprise, "This is?"
"The Demons call this Heart Lotus. They say it's a sacred object that only the Demons of the Heart have. It can help them to ignore the bottleneck and break through to the Original God Realm," Lu Qingshan explained.
This was the biggest unexpected harvest of this massacre.
Original God was the Primordial Spirit. Although the Demon Clan and Human Clan had different names, they were actually the same thing.
"Since the Heart Lotus can help a Demon Cultivator break through to the Original God Realm, it should be useful for the Human Clan as well. It should be good for you," Lu Qingshan said.
Mo Yan's face slightly changed.
The Primordial Spirit was like cultivation. It was something that every cultivator had to cultivate.
Treasures that could improve the Primordial Spirit were always precious.
Lu Qingshan didn't eat the Heart Lotus alone. He gave Mo Yan six of the thirteen pieces.
"Thank you, Brother Lu," Mo Yan said gratefully.
"It's the spoils of the massacre. You were the main force of the massacre. You put in a lot of effort. You deserve it," Lu Qingshan said casually.
"I'll try it first," he said again.
After all, it was something from the Demons, and he had never consumed it before. Although it was supposed to be universal, no one dared to guarantee its effects before consuming it.
Lu Qingshan was bold because of his skill. He might as well be a guinea pig and try it out first.
If it didn't work, Mo Yan wouldn't have to suffer.
If he succeeded, then it would be even better. At a time like this, even a little bit of combat strength would be good.
Not to mention, it was a breakthrough in something as important as the Essence Soul.
Lu Qingshan flipped his hand again, and a section of dark green Heart Lotus appeared in his palm, giving off a strange fluctuation.
Soon after, he opened his mouth and directly stuffed Xinlian into it.
Lu Qingshan's Nascent Divinity had long since reached the mid-stage Soul Realm, which was the limit of a Realm Six cultivator. It could even be said that he had broken through the limit.
After breaking through such a limit, no matter how he tempered his soul, it would be difficult for it to improve.
His Realm Six cultivation level limited the growth of his Essence Soul.
It was like an athlete who had reached a certain speed in the 100-meter dash. If he wanted to improve, even if it was a fraction of a second, it would be very difficult. This was the limit of one's physical fitness, because one's potential had been dug out.
Lu Qingshan was in the same situation.
Therefore, Lu Qingshan didn't think too much about it and focused all his energy on the Six Characters of Desolation, preparing to condense the Law Domain Seed.
But now that the section of Xinlian had entered his mouth, everything changed.
Lu Qingshan's Spiritual Sea had always been very lively. The ten-foot Abbot Skyheart's domain existed forever, overflowing with golden light and forcing all evil to retreat.
Among them, a miniature version of Lu Qingshan was sitting cross-legged. That was his Essence Soul.
A lifelike green snake circled around Lu Qingshan's soul. Affected by the ripples from an unknown place, it was constantly moving its body. It was unusually active, flickering with green light.
In his Essence Soul, the Soul Flame burned fiercely. Two Heart Swords were placed in it, flickering faintly.
At this moment, as Lu Qingshan consumed the Xinlian, the spiritual substance contained in it was rapidly released.
An inexplicable Clear Qi surged out of the Xinlian and flowed upward, madly gathering in his Spiritual Sea, and then surging toward Lu Qingshan's Essence Soul.
As the Clear Qi merged, Lu Qingshan's Essence Soul shone brightly. Its luster was like jade, resonating with heaven and earth. It was very extraordinary.
"Crack!"
In the next moment, a sound like porcelain shattering came from his Essence Soul.
Lu Qingshan was shocked. Then, he realized that his Essence Soul was cracking continuously, but under the effect of the Clear Qi, it quickly healed and shone continuously.
It was just that the cracking speed was faster than the healing speed.
Therefore, before long, his Essence Soul was full of cracks, as if it was about to explode.
Seeing this scene, Lu Qingshan didn't panic. Instead, he couldn't help but mutter, "I see …"
He finally understood what the Demons meant when they said that the Xinlian could ignore the bottleneck and break through to the Original God Realm.
This was an extremely tyrannical metamorphosis process. First, the Essence Soul was forcefully shattered, thereby breaking the Essence Soul's limits. Then, the spiritual substance in the Xinlian would heal the Essence Soul's injuries.
Lu Qingshan's Essence Soul was undergoing an extremely violent metamorphosis.
It had been a long time since he stepped into the middle stage of the Spirit Realm. It had been difficult for him to make any progress. Today, he finally started to break through again.
The aura above his Essence Soul was changing intensely.
Although cracks kept appearing with cracking sounds, at the same time, his aura was becoming stronger.
The Clear Qi released by the Xinlian was endless. It turned into small rivers and entered Lu Qingshan's Essence Soul.
The Soul Flame in his Essence Soul was also becoming more vigorous. It was extremely extraordinary.
Lu Qingshan endured the pain and continued to refine his Essence Soul. He continued to break through his bottleneck and release his Essence Soul's potential.
This breakthrough was too fierce because the middle stage of the Spirit Realm was the result of Lu Qingshan's first breakthrough. On this foundation, he wanted to break through the limit for the second time. The difficulty was self-evident.
Thus, if he wanted to break through, he had to break his Essence Soul more ruthlessly than the others.
It could be seen that his Essence Soul was full of cracks, which intertwined like a spider web. It had almost collapsed and needed to be repaired.
When other people broke through the bottleneck of the Essence Soul, they wouldn't have such a terrifying scene.
As the Origin Spirit cracked, some of the invisible shackles seemed to shatter and cease to exist.
Right after that, a gentle light overflowed from his Essence Soul.
The mini Lu Qingshan looked like a broken porcelain doll. Under this light, his eyes became brighter and brighter. Light overflowed everywhere, and he was full of vigor.
Those cracks were being repaired, nourished by the spiritual substance released by the Heart Lotus.
It was like a dry land receiving a spring rain. It slowly healed and became more fertile than before.
The cracks disappeared one by one. His Essence Soul was shining brightly. The dragon and the tiger supported each other.
Lu Qingshan was overjoyed.
However, when about a quarter of the cracks disappeared, the endless stream of clear Qi suddenly stopped and stopped appearing. Lu Qingshan, who was immersed in his breakthrough, suddenly came back to his senses.
What was going on?
In the next moment, he suddenly came to a realization.
It was because he had absorbed all the effects of this section of the Xinlian.
Lu Qingshan's Essence Soul realm was extremely high. His Essence Soul was powerful, far surpassing his cultivation.
Therefore, for an ordinary Rank-7 Fiendish Cultivator, a section of the Xinlian was enough to complete a breakthrough, but it was far from enough for him.
Without hesitation, he took out another section of the Xinlian and stuffed it into his mouth.
The Essence Soul was released again and gathered, continuing to nourish Lu Qingshan's Essence Soul.
If Lu Qingshan had the time to pay attention to Deep Blue's panel, he would realize that the Essence Soul column had stopped at (68008000) for a long time. Different numbers were rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Six thousand nine hundred, seven thousand, seven thousand one hundred …
It kept increasing, breaking through the threshold of 8,000.
After swallowing four more sections of the Xinlian, Lu Qingshan had consumed a total of six sections of the Xinlian. All the cracks on his Essence Soul had disappeared.
The violent aura dissipated and stabilized.
On Deep Blue's panel, a line of fiery words flickered.
"Your Essence Soul realm has broken through to the late-stage Soul realm (80009999)."
If the mid-stage Soul realm could still be reached by some Realm Seven prodigies, then the late-stage Soul realm Essence Soul realm was a realm that only Realm Eight cultivators could reach.
With the help of the Xinlian, Lu Qingshan had reached this stage at Realm Six.
How shocking was this?
Although Lu Qingshan was not a spirit cultivator who specialized in cultivating the Essence Soul, he had cultivated the Heart Sword, an Essence Soul attack. Coupled with the terrifying Soul Flame of the late-stage Soul realm, he was even confident that he could instantly kill a low-level Fiend Marshal without using his Natal Sword.
His battle prowess had improved tremendously.
However, the reason why the Xinlian could bring about such a powerful effect and allow Lu Qingshan's combat strength, which had already reached its peak, to soar again was mainly because his accumulation was too strong.
Although the Xinlian's spiritual effect was extraordinary, the one who was truly powerful was Lu Qingshan himself, not the Xinlian.
The Xinlian had the effect of ignoring bottlenecks, but it was only effective on cultivators below Realm Eight.
There was no lack of Demons who used the Xinlian to break through, but it was impossible for them to break through as exaggeratedly as Lu Qingshan.
Most of them had broken through to the Immortal Soul Realm. At most, they had advanced from the Immortal Soul Realm to the Immortal Soul Realm. That was already very rare.
As for Lu Qingshan, he had the mid-stage Soul realm Essence Soul realm as his foundation at Realm Six. His potential was endless and terrifying.
Therefore, his breakthrough was far better than ordinary people.
As for the idea of using the Xinlian to advance again, that was too unrealistic.
This was because the Xinlian could not escape the tolerance of natural treasures.
In other words, after a cultivator used the Xinlian once, the effect of the Xinlian would become weaker and weaker until it became useless.
Therefore, the Xinlian could at most help a cultivator repair a broken Essence Soul once.
In other words, the Xinlian could only help a cultivator break through the Original God bottleneck once. This was very reasonable.
.....
Lu Qingshan did not open his eyes immediately. He was doing the final consolidation.
He began to stabilize his Essence Soul realm, familiarize himself with his power, and improve his strength again.
Cultivation was not easy. The further one went, the harder it was to advance. Moreover, with every advancement, one's strength would increase by a large margin. It was far from what the previous realm could compare to.
It was the same for the Essence Soul.
The most obvious point was that after the Essence Soul realm broke through to the late-stage Soul realm, his Heart Sword could finally be improved again and be refined into the third sword.
Under normal circumstances, the Heart Sword should be cultivated at Realm Six to the Embryonic Light Sword, Realm Seven to the Cool Spirit Sword, and Realm Eight to the Serene Spirit Sword.
This was the cultivation method of ordinary people.
Lu Qingshan was not an ordinary person.
He cultivated the Embryonic Light Sword at Realm Five and Cool Spirit Sword at Realm Six.
However, this was not enough. Lu Qingshan was prepared to cultivate the Serene Spirit Sword at Realm Six today!
.....
"You have spent 20 million experience points to master the third level of the Heart Sword — Serene Spirit Sword (1st Refinement)!"
In the next moment, the soul flame that was far hotter than before suddenly burst out, emitting crackling sounds.
The raging flames surged and rose. The temperature was terrifying.
However, the Embryonic Light Sword and the Cool Spirit Sword were safe and sound within.
At this moment, a hazy shadow appeared beside the two Heart Swords. It was constantly condensing and gradually becoming corporeal.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of forging rose at the right time, and the brilliance enveloped the shadow.
Not long after, the sonorous sound disappeared, and the hazy shadow became bright.
It was a small, sparkling and translucent colored glaze sword. There was a Dao pattern on the sword.
Lu Qingshan was not satisfied and continued to improve.
"You have spent 20 million experience points to upgrade the Heart Sword — Serene Spirit Sword to the 2nd Refinement!"
"You have spent 20 million experience points to upgrade the Heart Sword — Serene Spirit Sword to the 3rd Refinement!"
.....
You have spent 20 million experience points to upgrade the Heart Sword — Serene Spirit Sword to the 9th Refinement! "
After spending 180 million experience points, Lu Qingshan finally cultivated the Primordial Spirit attack technique that Xia Daoyun had taught him to the Great Circle Realm.
The three sparkling and translucent small swords floated side by side in the soul flame. The power hidden within them was unimaginable.
Lu Qingshan suddenly opened his eyes.
Mo Yan subconsciously looked at Lu Qingshan, and then his expression suddenly changed.
It was because Lu Qingshan's eyes were frighteningly bright.
He looked into Lu Qingshan's eyes as if he was looking into a deep world, one that he couldn't see the bottom of.
In Lu Qingshan's eyes, everything around him had become different from the rest.
The essence of life didn't change, but everything in his eyes was ten times or a hundred times more dazzling.
He was in high spirits, and his temperament was otherworldly and lively. There was an invisible and powerful aura that overflowed uncontrollably.
This was the Primordial Spirit of a late-stage Soul Realm cultivator?
Lu Qingshan was slightly dazed.
"Congratulations, Brother Lu. Your cultivation has advanced again," Mo Yan said on the other side.
He sighed inwardly.
Was there a young cultivator more powerful than Lu Qingshan in the world? He was only 23 years old, and he was already so powerful. It could be said that he was stunning.
.....
"How long has it been?" Lu Qingshan asked.
"Less than half an hour," Mo Yan said.
"Only half an hour?" Lu Qingshan muttered. However, as his Primordial Spirit broke through to the late-stage Soul Realm, an extremely bold idea appeared in his mind.
A late-stage Soul Realm Primordial Spirit would be difficult for Devil Cultivators below the eighth rank to detect if he intentionally concealed his aura.
"In that case, the Demons' reinforcements should still be on the way. Why don't we make a big move …" he said, emitting a dangerous aura.
"Brother Lu, what do you mean?" Mo Yan was shocked.
Lu Qingshan smiled inexplicably and told him his thoughts.
.....
An hour after Mo Yan used the Deviant Flame Lotus to bombard Mountain Guard City, a powerful aura quickly approached from the northern sky. Devil Qi roiled.
That aura first stopped above Mountain Guard City, which had turned into a huge crater. Then, it slowly descended and carefully inspected the scene.
However, under the bombardment of Mo Yan's Deviant Flame, everything had been reduced to ashes and no longer existed. What could it find?
After a careful inspection and still finding nothing, the owner of this aura let out a low roar of anger. Then, it silently stood there with its eyes closed, not saying a word.
Just a moment after this aura arrived, several other powerful auras flew over from different directions.
In the next two hours, the flow of people reached its peak.
Devil Cultivators constantly rushed over from all directions.
In the end, nearly a hundred powerful auras gathered above the ruins of Mountain Guard City.
"Any useful information?" Among them, the Tiger Demon Master with the strongest aura, whose strength had reached the eighth rank, asked.
"Everything has been reduced to ashes. However, according to the request for reinforcements sent by Mountain Guard City, it was an extremely young human sword cultivator who attacked Mountain Guard City," a Devil Cultivator who came later said respectfully.
"Human sword cultivator …" the Tiger Demon Master muttered. Then, he was furious. He pointed at the scorched ground and asked, "You're telling me that this was done by a sword cultivator?"
The Devil Cultivator who replied was a little embarrassed. He could only say, "It seems that he has other companions …"
"Who is so bold as to stir up trouble in our territory?" another Devil Cultivator said in a muffled voice.
"Who cares who he is. Find him and kill him!"
"I've already notified the Devil Cultivators in the various prefectures to be on alert and pay attention to suspicious people. We've also sent out search teams to surround Mountain Guard City."
"As for everyone … Don't just stand there. Get moving.
We came from different directions, but none of us encountered the attacker. This means that he hasn't run far. Let's cooperate with the search teams and spread out! "the Tiger Demon Master ordered.
After a short exchange, the hundred or so auras floated in the air and turned into shooting stars, flying in different directions.
If a human cultivator were to launch a surprise attack on one of their cities and massacre the entire city, the Devil Race would definitely not let this slide so easily.
Their attitude was extremely firm, and they were determined to find the attacker.
Therefore, they put in a lot of effort. It could be said that they were on high alert, and every tree and bush was an enemy. They sent countless low-grade Devil Cultivators to search for Lu Qingshan and Mo Yan. They had to find them even if they had to dig three feet underground.
