Volume 7: The Strongest Four Realms Chapter 15 Where Thunder God Lives
The two looked at each other briefly, and then separated as if by electric shock.
Obviously, under this situation, it is not the right time to discuss Lu Qingshan.
The master of Jinghu Temple had just explained that the most important thing in determining the names of the four lists is objectivity and to isolate oneself from all subjective emotions.
The two people who are most likely to be the future leaders of Tianji Temple completely restrained their expressions in an instant, as if nothing had happened.
This is a young woman's talent for certain things.
Lu Qingshan...
This name caused ripples in Lin Yao's heart, which had already cultivated its state of mind to be as calm as a deep pool.
The scenes from four years ago inevitably came to my mind again.
He saved her life twice and sent her to Tianji Temple. It can be said that everything she has today is because of the man named Lu Qingshan she met in that small Zhenjiang Prefecture.
A swordsman who is obviously younger than her, but makes her subconsciously feel dependent on him.
Half of her calmness today comes from her own personality, and the other half is actually the influence of Lu Qingshan, including the short time she spent with Lu Qingshan, and the "magical power" whose name still makes her feel a little awkward.
As she came into contact with more and more things, the Zhenjiang Lu family, which had once been a giant in her eyes, had gradually become insignificant.
According to common sense, the light of Lu Qingshan, who was born in the Lu family, would gradually fade away, and finally he would be lost in the crowd and become ordinary dust.
But the fact is, her admiration for Lu Qingshan not only did not fade with the passage of time, but instead increased day by day.
She couldn't imagine how Lu Qingshan, who was born in a small Lu family, could stand out in the competition that gathered the geniuses of the seven regions, and appear in her sight again in this way today.
And the promise she made back then.
"I will definitely practice hard so that I can repay Master Lu's kindness as soon as possible."
The sense of urgency in my heart suddenly arose uncontrollably at this moment.
It's too slow.
When can I advance to the Nascent Soul stage?
Today, after growing a lot in Tianji Temple and broadening her horizons, she has actually gained some understanding of what her physical body can do.
Once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, it will be a whole different world.
The ripples in my heart spread out for a while, and then quickly calmed down again.
Calm as a mirror.
"Lu Qingshan of the Sword Sect is now on the Yellow List." Lin Yao carefully compared the records on the jade wall on the Yellow List and said affirmatively.
"This guy is really amazing!" Lingyue glanced at the jade wall and agreed with her senior sister's judgment. She couldn't help but sigh: "Currently, the lowest cultivator on the Yellow List is in the late Nascent Soul stage, and he is only in the early Nascent Soul stage. How did he do it..."
The early stage of Nascent Soul is against the middle stage of Refining Void.
Worship worship worship worship!
Of course, besides admiration, Lingyue also felt a little frustrated.
This is clearly what she said to Lu Qingshan that day.
"See you next time, I will definitely impress you!"
This is her small goal.
But now I find that the gap between me and Lu Qingshan seems to be getting bigger and bigger?
But I have obviously tried very hard.
Lingyue felt a little aggrieved again.
Don't you think I'm stupid?
What should I do?
My little target, it's so panicked.
“However,” Ling Yue glanced at Zhou Yuan, who was at the end of the yellow list and happened to be ranked 100th, and muttered: “By then, he should be more panicked than my little target…”
Once Lu Qingshan is on the list, he will have stayed on the yellow list for a period. Zhou Yuan, who happens to be at the bottom of the list, will naturally fall off the list to make room for Lu Qingshan.
When it comes to the discussion of the Seven Realms, Lu Qingshan has been suppressed. When it comes to the competition for the Yellow List, he will still be suppressed.
This feeling must be very infuriating!
Lingyue felt extremely annoyed.
Also, it seems that Senior Sister knows this guy?
They must know each other, and their relationship must be very close!
Although she had not had much contact with Senior Sister Lin Yao, she had a deep understanding of Lin Yao's temperament, which was as calm as an orchid.
However, she clearly captured the complex emotions in her senior sister's eyes just now.
This Lu Qingshan can cause such complicated emotional changes in Senior Sister, can their relationship be normal?
I'll go out and sound out my senior sister later to find out what the situation is.
There was another flame called "Eight Diagrams" burning in Lingyue's heart.
No one knows why Lingyue's emotions can change so many times in just a few moments without any sense of disobedience.
That’s why there is a saying that women are the most magical creatures in the world.
…
…
The main hall of the Western Region Underworld.
The stone door was closed and there was no light in the dark room.
Several terrifying phantoms emerged, with a black aura rising behind them.
Although it was just a phantom, the aura was still extremely terrifying.
"Master Yulei."
"Master Yulei."
All the phantoms on the field shouted respectfully towards the most terrifying phantom on the main throne, which looked like a demon.
"When the Seven Realms were discussing the Dao, Da Xia had no idea that our demon race already had the ability to deconstruct the human race's cultivation methods, and rashly took out the Da Xia Sutra as a reward for the Seven Realms Discussion. For the Da Xia Sutra, we used a hidden player, led by Palace Lord Shentu, who intended to take advantage of the opportunity to win the championship and obtain the Da Xia Sutra. Later, due to some accidents, Palace Lord Shentu had to fight for his survival, and in the end, the top spot was won by Lu Qingshan of the Sword Sect." The demon shadow called Palace Lord Yulei swept his eyes over the other phantoms and got straight to the point.
"Similarly, the Great Summer Scripture fell into the hands of Lu Qingshan. As far as I know, the one that Lu Qingshan chose in the end was the Great Summer Scripture Refining Void Chapter."
"Lianxu... According to the human race's cultivation system, Lianxu is to condense the seeds of Tao, which is exactly the beginning of the great way..." another ferocious-looking demon shadow murmured.
“In terms of deconstruction value of the entire Great Summer Sutra, the Mahayana chapter ranks first, followed by the Refining Void chapter. So although it is not the best choice, if we can get this Great Summer Sutra and gain something after , when we launch the final decisive battle and Xia Daozu makes his move, we will definitely have a better chance of defeating him.” The Lord of Yulei Palace said in a deep voice.
"The Palace Master means that this Lu Qingshan appeared in our Western Region?" Who among those present is not a cunning and treacherous person?
Although the Lord of Yulei Palace did not say it directly, after a few words, everyone understood that the Lord of Yulei Palace had summoned them together to discuss matters, which must be related to Lu Qingshan.
"Yes." Yu Lei Mansion Master said slowly: "According to the information I have, Lu Qingshan appeared on Mogao in the Western Regions two days ago. After killing the local evil bandit, the 'Vulture Old Man' who was in the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm, he continued to go deep into Mogao. It is unknown what he did. And this Great Summer Scripture, in all likelihood, he carried it with him. As long as we kill him, we will have a chance to obtain the Great Summer Scripture."
"Killing a cultivator in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm?" Someone noticed this and was extremely shocked.
"Two years ago, when the seven realms were discussing the Dao, wasn't Lu Qingshan only in the late Jindan stage? What level of cultivation is he now? How come he can kill a cultivator in the middle stage of Lianxu?" someone asked directly.
"He is only in the early stage of Nascent Soul." The face of Yu Lei Palace Lord was illusory, and his specific expression could not be seen clearly. "But this Lu Qingshan has extraordinary combat power. With his cultivation in the early stage of Nascent Soul, he was able to defeat a cultivator in the middle stage of Refining Void."
"How could Lu Qingshan be so strong?!" Even the demons with amazing cultivation methods were still extremely shocked after hearing the explanation from Palace Master Yu Lei.
"Although it sounds exaggerated, it's not outrageous," Yu Lei Palace Master said slowly: "Based on Lu Qingshan's performance in the Seven Realms Discussion, one of his natal swords is very likely a fake Taoist weapon."
I'm talking about the dragon bird.
"A fake Taoist weapon!" A demon from the underworld gasped.
Although it has a fake word in it, but it can be connected with a Taoist weapon, so it is extremely terrifying no matter what.
"No wonder..." another demon muttered.
Relying on the power of the pseudo-Taoist weapon, it is not too outrageous for Yuanying to kill Lianxu.
In the early stages of cultivation, a pseudo-Taoist weapon can completely make up for the gap in cultivation level by one major realm.
Because pseudo-Taoist weapons are countless times rarer and more precious than those of Void-Refining cultivators.
"Let the underworld branches in the five states near the Mogao Desert take action together and deploy their manpower in the cities surrounding the Mogao Desert. Once Lu Qingshan leaves the Mogao Desert and appears in the surrounding cities, immediately launch a siege." The Lord of Yulei Palace made the decision directly.
"Five State Underworld Branch Halls?!" Someone was shocked and puzzled, "Master, are you going to mobilize so many people? Isn't it too much of an overreaction?"
The five state underworld branch halls, what a terrifying scene.
Not to mention one Lu Qingshan, even if there were ten Lu Hongshans or Lu Huangshans, they could all be knocked down together.
Is it necessary?
They can understand that we should be cautious in everything.
The problem is that the price is too high. Once the cultivator from the underworld takes action, his public identity will most likely be exposed and he will have to be abandoned.
In order to arrange these public identities, the resources and time spent by the underworld are unimaginable.
"Is it worth it to abandon the five state underworld branches just for Lu Qingshan?" a phantom asked.
"You must understand that this time, it's not just for Lu Qingshan..." Yu Lei Mansion Master's eyes were stern, and after a pause, he said with finality: "It's for Dao Master Xia!"
"If we fail to attack Lu Qingshan this time, it will be difficult to attack him again and seize the Great Xia Sutra. Therefore, this time, we cannot afford to make any mistakes! The five branch halls in the five states work together to surround and kill a Nascent Soul cultivator. If something goes wrong, what's the point of keeping these trash?" The voice of the Lord of Yu Lei gradually became cold and his tone gradually became low.
When the others heard this, their hearts tightened and their expressions became serious. They already understood the connection.
If you put it that way, it really isn't an exaggeration.
The reputation of Taoist Master Xia is well-known, and to the demons, it is like a demonic obstacle that cannot be shaken off.
Back then, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of Daoist Master Xia, the Sky Realm would have belonged to the demon clan for 20,000 years.
Although Master Xia has been dormant and has not appeared for the past 20,000 years, his remaining power still intimidates the demons and makes them extremely fearful.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope that can help them deal with and kill Master Xia, it is worth them paying a huge price to fight for it.
What are the mere five-state underworld branch halls?
You can't catch a wolf without risking your child.
This time they gritted their teeth and threw out five children.
…
…
Lu Qingshan naturally did not expect that because the underworld was determined to obtain the Great Xia Sutra, in order to ensure that everything was foolproof, the manpower mobilized by the underworld actually far exceeded the required specifications. This was unreasonable and beyond his expectations.
After all, he can only be considered a prophet, not an omniscient one.
In the previous life, the underworld seized the Great Xia Sutra and deconstructed it, which had been hidden beneath the waves and no one knew about it.
The consequences of this incident had not yet occurred when he traveled through time.
He naturally knew nothing about the matter.
Knowing nothing, he underestimated the cruelty of the underworld.
He just wanted to catch two carp.
What finally took the bait was a group of piranhas.
…
A solitary smoke rises straight up in the desert, and the sun sets over the long river.
This is an abandoned land.
Under the blood-red afterglow of the setting sun, in a narrow canyon, on the dilapidated yellow sand, stood a dilapidated village.
This is a tribe called "Sheep". Just like the saxaul, they have taken deep roots in the deepest part of the Mogao Desert and are extremely tenacious.
It is hard to imagine how a weak tribe like the "Sheep" could survive in such a harsh place for so long.
A little girl, as thin as iron, wearing a woolen coat and with hair as thin as dry grass, was carrying a wicker basket that was bigger than her and walking back to the camp in small steps.
In the vine basket, there are wild grasses with pale purple stamens.
The girl didn't know what the wild grass was called. She only knew that not only the leaves could be used to feed sheep, but even the roots hidden underground had a sweet taste, which sheep also loved to eat.
So the villagers call this grass sheep grass.
The girl's name is Yang Qing'er, a native of the "Sheep" tribe.
When she was two years old, her parents died fighting the wolf demon to protect the tribe's sheep.
Afterwards, she grew up in the clan leader's home.
This is a very common thing in the tribe, because there are a large number of orphans in the tribe leader's family alone.
Sometimes, before going to bed at night, she would look up at the starry sky and wonder what the world outside would be like.
But it's just a thought.
Boom!
A deafening thunderclap came out of nowhere, like a thunderbolt.
In later generations, such a loud thunder would be enough to scare a child into hiding in the quilt, or even scare an adult woman into screaming out loud, but the thin Yang Qing'er completely ignored it.
It’s not that she is brave, but she has been hearing the sound of thunder for seven or eight years since she was born. She has long been accustomed to it. What is there to be afraid of?
"However, it seems that Thunder God's anger has become more and more frequent in recent years." Yang Qing'er murmured.
In the early years, thunderstorms this loud would only occur every two or three days.
But recently, it seems like I hear it three or four times a day.
She looked cautiously into the depths of the canyon, which seemed to have no end, and quickened her pace, heading towards the camp.
The clan leader said that the thunder came from deep in the canyon and had existed for a long, long time.
It is very likely that there is a thunder god living inside.
She was a little curious, but had no intention of finding out the truth.
When even survival is difficult, who has the time to study these things?
Yang Qing'er, who was carrying a large bamboo basket on her back and walking in quick and hurried steps, suddenly braked suddenly. The bamboo basket shook violently and almost crushed her.
Because, a stranger appeared in front of her.
He was a good-looking young man with a kind smile.
It's really good-looking. Compared with him, Brother Black Sheep, the most handsome and capable man in the tribe, is like... like... like the moon and the little stars next to it.
The men's clothes were very strange, completely different from theirs, but very exquisite.
Even the woman with the best needlework in the tribe couldn’t make such exquisite clothes!
Yang Qing'er pondered in her heart and looked at the man shyly.
As if by magic, the man reached out and pulled out a piece of exquisite "food".
It was round, a bit like the moon in the sky, and a sweet scent filled her face, making Yang Qing'er swallow subconsciously.
She had never eaten this kind of thing and didn't even know what it was, but she was sure that it must be delicious.
Because it smells so good that it makes people drool just by smelling it.
The man handed over the pastry, "Here's to you."
"For me?" The little girl was stunned.
The man nodded and said affirmatively: "For you."
Yang Qing'er hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't resist the temptation. She carefully rubbed her hand on the corner of her clothes and carefully took the piece of food that she had never seen before.
She couldn't bear to eat it. She held it in her hand as if it were a hot potato, feeling awkward and flustered.
"Don't be afraid, I just want to ask, how much do you know about the situation there?" The man pointed behind Yang Qing'er.
There, deep in the canyon, is where Thunder God lives.
