The direction of escape is also a science, because Lu Qingshan cannot be sure from which direction the reinforcements of the demons will come.
If you are unlucky and happen to choose the direction where the demon reinforcements are coming, you will run into them.
Regarding this, Lu Qingshan’s choice was that since he couldn’t be sure from which direction you were coming, he would just wait for you to come before leaving.
With a flash of sword light, he fled thousands of miles away. Then he stopped at a steep mountain peak.
This place is sparsely populated and extremely remote. Even if the demons use their spiritual sense to explore it inch by inch, it will take a certain amount of time to explore this place.
The two found a cave, and Mo Yan set up a few hidden restrictions, and the two rested there first.
It just so happens that Mo Yan also needs some time to recover.
The strange fire lotus from before almost drained him dry.
After everything was arranged, Lu Qingshan waved his hand and several rays of emerald green light flew towards Mo Yan.
Mo Yan subconsciously reached out his hand to catch it, looked at the lotus roots in his hand, and asked in surprise: "What is this?"
“The demons call this the Heart Lotus. They say it’s a sacred object that only the Heart Demons possess, and it can help them ignore bottlenecks and break through to the Source God realm.” Lu Qingshan explained.
This was the biggest unexpected gain from this massacre.
The source god, that is, the primordial spirit, although the humans and demons call them differently, they are actually the same thing.
“Since the Heart Lotus can help demon cultivators break through the Source God realm, it will naturally work for the human race as well, and should be good for you as well.” Lu Qingshan said.
Mo Yan's expression changed slightly.
The primordial spirit, just like cultivation, is something that every cultivator must practice.
Treasures that can enhance the primordial spirit have always been extremely precious.
Lu Qingshan did not eat all the food alone. There were thirteen pieces of heart lotus in total, and he gave six pieces to Mo Yan.
"Thank you, Brother Lu." Mo Yan said gratefully.
"These were originally the spoils of the massacre. You were the main force in the massacre and put in a lot of effort. You deserve these." Lu Qingshan said casually.
"I'll try it first to see the effect." He added.
After all, it was something from the demon clan, and he had never taken it before. Although it should be universal, no one could guarantee its effect before taking it.
Lu Qingshan is a skilled and bold man, so he decided to be a guinea pig and give it a try first.
If it fails, Mo Yan will not suffer.
If it succeeds, that would be even better. At a time like this, any improvement in combat power would be good.
Not to mention, it was a breakthrough in something as important as the soul.
Lu Qingshan flipped his hand again, and a piece of emerald green heart lotus flashed in his palm, emitting strange fluctuations.
Immediately, he opened his mouth and stuffed the heart lotus directly into his mouth.
Lu Qingshan's soul realm had already reached the middle stage of the soul realm, which was already the limit for a sixth-realm cultivator, and it could even be said to have broken through the limit.
After breaking through this limit, no matter how he tempered his soul, it would be difficult for it to make any further progress.
The cultivation level of the sixth realm restricted the continued growth of his primordial spirit.
It is like when an athlete reaches a certain speed in the 100-meter race, it becomes very difficult to make further progress, even by a few tenths of a second. This is a limitation of physical fitness, because the potential has been exhausted.
This is Lu Qingshan’s current situation.
Therefore, Lu Qingshan didn't think any more about it and focused all his energy on the Six Words of the Wilderness, preparing to condense the Seed of the Dharma Realm.
But now, at the entrance to the Heart Lotus, everything has changed.
Lu Qingshan's sea of ​​consciousness has always been very lively. The ten-zhang Tianxin Fangzhang domain exists eternally, with golden light overflowing, and all evils retreat.
Among them, a mini version of Lu Qingshan was sitting cross-legged. That was his soul.
A vivid green snake was circling around Lu Qingshan's soul. Affected by the waves coming from an unknown place, it was dancing its body constantly, being unusually active and flashing with green light.
Within the primordial spirit, soul flames were burning fiercely, and two heart swords were placed within it, flickering slightly.
At this moment, as Lu Qingshan took the Heart Lotus, the spiritual substances contained in it were quickly released.
An inexplicable clear air surged out from the heart lotus and then flowed upstream, madly converging towards his sea of ​​consciousness, and then flowing all the way towards Lu Qingshan's soul.
As this pure energy was absorbed into his body, Lu Qingshan's soul began to glow all over, as radiant as jade, resonating with the heaven and earth, an extraordinary thing.
Click!
The next moment, a sound like porcelain breaking came from the soul.
Lu Qingshan was shocked, and then he found that his soul was constantly breaking apart, but under the effect of the pure air, it quickly healed and continued to shine.
It's just that at this time the speed of cracking is faster than the speed of healing.
So before long, his soul was full of cracks, as if it was about to explode.
"So that's how it is..." Seeing this scene, Lu Qingshan was not panicked, but couldn't help but murmured.
He finally understood what the demons meant when they said that the Heart Lotus could ignore bottlenecks and break through the Source God realm.
This is an extremely domineering transformation process. First, the soul is shattered by force and violence, thereby breaking the limitations of the soul, and then the spiritual substance in the heart lotus has a healing effect on the soul to restore the soul's injuries.
Lu Qingshan's soul is undergoing a transformation that is extremely violent.
Since entering the middle stage of the Soul Realm for such a long time, he has been unable to make any further progress. Today, he finally began to break through again.
The aura of his soul changed dramatically.
Although cracks and clicking sounds continued to appear, the breath was becoming stronger and stronger at the same time.
The pure air released from the heart lotus continued to flow, turning into small rivers and sinking into Lu Qingshan's soul.
The soul flame in his spirit became more and more vigorous and extremely extraordinary.
Lu Qingshan endured the severe pain and continued to temper his soul, continued to break through his bottleneck, and released the potential of his soul.
This breakthrough was too fierce, because the middle stage of the soul realm was already the result of Lu Qingshan breaking through the limit once. On this basis, he had to break through the limit for the second time. The difficulty was self-evident.
This meant that if he wanted to break through, he had to destroy his soul more ruthlessly than others.
It can be seen that his soul is full of cracks, intertwined together like a spider web, and it is almost collapsing and needs to be repaired.
When other people break through the bottleneck of their spiritual spirit, they will not see such a horrifying scene.
As the soul cracked, some of the invisible shackles seemed to shatter along with it and ceased to exist.
Immediately, a soft light emanated from the soul.
The mini version of Lu Qingshan, who seemed like a broken porcelain doll, had eyes that became brighter and brighter under the light, and he looked full of brilliance and energy.
Those cracks are being repaired and nourished by the spiritual substances released by the Heart Lotus.
Just like dry land welcomes a spring rain, it slowly heals and then becomes more fertile than before.
The cracks disappeared one after another, his spirit became bright, and the dragon and the tiger worked together.
Lu Qingshan was overjoyed.
But when about a quarter of the cracks disappeared, the endless flow of fresh air suddenly stopped and no longer appeared, causing Lu Qingshan, who was immersed in the breakthrough, to suddenly come back to his senses.
What's going on?
The next moment, he suddenly reacted.
The power of this piece of heart lotus has been completely absorbed by him.
Lu Qingshan's soul realm is extremely high and his soul is powerful, far beyond his own cultivation.
Therefore, for an average seventh-grade demon cultivator, one piece of the Heart Lotus is enough to complete a breakthrough, but for him, it is far from enough.
Without hesitation, he took out another piece of heart lotus and stuffed it into his mouth.
Spiritual matter was released again, constantly gathering and continuing to nourish Lu Qingshan's soul.
If Lu Qingshan had time to pay attention to the "Deep Blue" panel at this time, he would find that in the Yuanshen column, the numbers that had remained at (6800/8000) for a long time were constantly increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Six thousand nine hundred, seven thousand, seven thousand one hundred...
It continues to increase and breaks through the threshold of eight thousand.
After swallowing four more pieces of the Heart Lotus in succession and consuming a total of six pieces of the Heart Lotus, all the cracks on Lu Qingshan's soul had disappeared.
The violent aura dissipated and became stable.
On the dark blue panel, a line of small fiery characters flashed out.
"Your Yuanshen realm has broken through to the late Soul Realm (8000/9999)."
If the middle stage of Soul Realm can still be reached by some geniuses of the Seventh Stage, then the Yuanshen of the late stage of Soul Realm is completely a realm that can only be reached by cultivators of the Eighth Stage.
With the help of Xinlian, Lu Qingshan has achieved this level in the sixth realm today.
How amazing is this?
Although Lu Qingshan did not specialize in spiritual cultivation of the soul, he had at least cultivated the soul attack method of the heart sword. With the help of the terrifying soul flame in the late soul realm, he was even confident that he could instantly kill a primary demon general with only the heart sword without using his natal sword.
His combat power was further greatly improved.
However, the reason why the Heart Lotus can bring such a strong effect, allowing Lu Qingshan's combat power, which has already reached the peak, to surge again, is mainly because his accumulation is too strong.
In other words, although the spiritual effect of the Heart Lotus is extraordinary, the truly powerful one is Lu Qingshan himself, not the Heart Lotus.
The Heart Lotus has the effect of ignoring bottlenecks, but it has the limitation of only being effective for those with cultivation below the eighth rank.
There are also people in the demon clan who use the Heart Lotus to break through the barriers, but it is impossible for them to have such an exaggerated breakthrough as Lu Qingshan.
Most of them have breakthroughs at the level of the soul and soul realm, or at most, they have been promoted from the realm of control to the soul realm, which is already very rare.
However, Lu Qingshan, who was in the sixth realm of cultivation, already had the foundation of the Yuanshen realm of the middle soul realm. His potential was endless and terrifying.
Therefore, his breakthrough is far better than that of ordinary people.
As for the idea of ​​using the power of the Heart Lotus to improve again, that is too unrealistic.
Because the heart lotus cannot escape the tolerance that natural treasures must have.
That is to say, after a cultivator has taken the Heart Lotus once, the effect of the Heart Lotus on him will become weaker and weaker, until it finally becomes completely ineffective.
Therefore, the Heart Lotus can at most help a cultivator repair a broken soul.
In other words, the Heart Lotus can only help cultivators break through the Source God bottleneck once - this is reasonable.
…
Lu Qingshan did not open his eyes immediately, as he was undergoing the final consolidation.
He began to stabilize his spiritual realm, familiarize himself with his own power, and improve his strength again.
It is not easy to practice, and it becomes more and more difficult to advance as time goes by. And with each level up, the strength will increase significantly, far beyond the previous realm.
The same is true for the soul.
The most obvious point is that after breaking through the Soul Realm to the late Soul Realm, his Heart Sword can finally be upgraded again and the third sword can be tempered.
As for the Heart Sword, under normal circumstances, one should cultivate the Sword of Fetal Light in the sixth realm, the Sword of Refreshing Spirit in the seventh realm, and the Sword of Phantom Spirit in the eighth realm.
This is the practice for normal people.
Lu Qingshan is not a normal person.
In the fifth realm, he cultivated the fetal light, and in the sixth realm, he cultivated the refreshing spirit.
But this is not enough, Lu Qingshan is also preparing to cultivate the Sword of the Ghost Spirit in the Sixth Realm today!
…
"You spent 20 million experience points to master the third level of [Heart Sword] - Sword of the Ghost (First Refining)!"
The next moment, the soul flame, which was much hotter than before, suddenly jumped up and made crackling sounds.
The flames rolled up and rose, the temperature was terrifying.
But the two small swords, Taiguang and Shuangling, were safe and comfortable in it.
At this moment, a hazy shadow appeared next to the two heart swords, and it was constantly solidifying and gradually turning into a solid entity.
clang clang clang!
The sound of casting rises in due time, and the light covers the shadows.
After a while, the clanging sound disappeared and the hazy shadow became bright.
It was a crystal clear glass sword with a Taoist pattern on the sword.
Lu Qingshan was not satisfied and continued to improve.
"You spend 20 million experience points to upgrade [Heart Sword] - Sword of the Spirit to the second refinement!"
"You spend 20 million experience points to upgrade [Heart Sword] - Sword of the Ghost Spirit to the third level!"
…
You spend 2000w experience points, [Heart Sword] - Sword of the Ghost Spirit, upgrade to the ninth level! "
After spending 180 million experience points, Lu Qingshan finally mastered the method of soul attack taught by Xia Daoyun to the state of great perfection.
Three crystal clear little swords were suspended side by side in the soul flame, their power was hidden and strong beyond imagination.
Lu Qingshan suddenly opened his eyes.
Mo Yan subconsciously looked at Lu Qingshan, and then his face changed suddenly.
Because Lu Qingshan's eyes were frighteningly bright at this moment.
He looked into Lu Qingshan's eyes, as if he was looking into a deep world that he could not see the bottom of.
In Lu Qingshan's eyes, everything around him became different.
The essence of life has not changed, but everything in his eyes has become ten or a hundred times more brilliant.
He was in high spirits, with an extraordinary and lively temperament, and an invisible and powerful aura emanating from him uncontrollably.
Is this the soul in the late soul realm?
Lu Qingshan was a little dazed.
"Congratulations, Brother Lu, your cultivation has made further progress." Mo Yan said on the other side.
He was filled with deep emotion.
Is there any young cultivator in the world who is more powerful than Lu Qingshan? He is only 23 years old and already so powerful, which can be said to be amazing in ancient and modern times.
…
"How much time has passed?" Lu Qingshan asked.
"Less than half a minute." Mo Yan said.
"Only half a quarter of an hour?" Lu Qingshan murmured, but as his soul broke through to the late soul realm, an extremely bold idea emerged in his mind.
The soul in the late soul realm can hardly be detected by demon cultivators below the eighth rank if it intentionally conceals its aura.
"In that case, the demon's reinforcements should still be on the way. Why don't we make a bigger move..." He said, emitting a dangerous aura.
"What does Brother Lu mean?" Mo Yan was suddenly shocked.
Lu Qingshan smiled inexplicably and told his thoughts.
…
Just half an hour after Mo Yan used the Strange Fire Lotus to bombard Shanwei City, a powerful aura quickly approached from the northern sky, with demonic energy rolling.
The aura first hovered over the Mountain Guard City, which had turned into a huge pit, and then slowly descended to carefully examine the scene.
However, under the bombardment of Mo Yan’s strange fire, everything had already turned to ashes and no longer existed. What could he discover?
After a careful patrol and still finding nothing, the owner of this breath let out an angry growl, then stood there silently, closing his eyes and saying nothing.
Just a moment after flew in from other different directions.
In the next hour, the flow of people reached its peak.
Demonic cultivators kept coming from all directions.
In the end, nearly a hundred powerful auras gathered on the ruins of Mountain Guard City.
"Is there any useful information?" asked the Demon Lord Hu Yue, who had the most powerful aura and the eighth level of strength.
"Everything was reduced to ashes, but according to the request for help sent by Shanwei City earlier, it was a very young human sword cultivator who attacked Shanwei City." A demon cultivator who came later said respectfully.
"Human sword cultivator..." Demon Lord Hu Yue muttered, and then he became furious, pointing at the charred ground and asked, "You tell me this was done by a sword cultivator?"
The demon cultivator who responded was somewhat embarrassed and could only say: "It seems that he has other companions..."
"Who on earth is so bold as to stir up trouble in our territory?" another demon cultivator said sullenly.
"Whoever he is, just find him and kill him!"
"I have notified the demon cultivators in each prefecture to take action. They are on high alert and keep an eye out for suspicious people . I have also sent out search teams to encircle the city with Shanwei City as the center."
"As for you all... don't just stand there, take action. We came from different directions, but no one encountered the attacker when they arrived, which means he hasn't run far away. Let's cooperate with the search team and spread out!" ordered Demon Lord Hu Yue.
After a brief exchange, these nearly one hundred auras rose into the air, transformed into meteors, and flew in different directions.
In the demon-occupied area, if human monks raided their own city and massacred the people, the demons would never let it go easily.
They were extremely determined to find the attacker.
So they put in a lot of effort, and were in a state of panic. They sent countless low-level magic cultivators to the search for Lu Qingshan and Mo Yan, and were willing to dig three feet deep into the ground to find them.
