Volume 9: Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven Chapter 39: Qingluo Ancestor (Water)
The return of spring breeze allowed Lu Qingshan's sword to cross a distance of fifty feet. He ignored the sword rain of Qingluo petals initiated by the deputy leader of Qingluo Sect and slashed at the Qingluo formation from mid-air.
The Dragon Bird's Law-breaking directly destroyed the sect's protective formation, which was regarded as the most important reliance of the Qingluo Sect.
Because of Lu Qingshan's big commotion, most of the Qingluo Sect's disciples had already left their caves to check the specific situation.
Then, what they saw was the scene where the sect protection formation was blasted open by Lu Qingshan's sword in the air.
At this moment, all the Qingluo Sect disciples opened their mouths wide, unable to close them for a long time, with confusion and horror flashing in their eyes.
This scene was beyond their cognition and beyond their imagination.
Not only these low-level disciples, but also the deputy leader of Qingluo Sect and Elder Murong, whose real identity is a cultivator from the underworld, who were sneering a moment ago, are now stunned.
"kill!"
The deputy leader of Qingluo Sect was startled and became extremely alert, but when he saw Lu Qingshan about to step forward, he subconsciously used his magic weapon to attack him.
The void was suddenly filled with magical patterns and the Yuan force was surging.
boom!
Something surprising happened to him.
Lu Qingshan swung out another sword, directly piercing through his magic weapon, causing it to explode in the air, turning into a golden light and dispersing, with all kinds of debris flying everywhere.
"What? This is a low-grade heavenly weapon, and he shattered it with just one sword?"
The deputy leader of Qingluo Sect felt both pain and panic.
"Wait, a Taoist weapon! The rumor is true!" The magic weapon shattered at the first blow. His face changed drastically, and he immediately remembered the news that spread throughout the seven regions of the human race some time ago.
The natal sword of Lu Qingshan, the strongest in the fifth realm, is most likely a Taoist weapon.
At that time he was still skeptical.
Now it seems undoubtedly true.
Only Taoist weapons are so powerful, and sharpness is one of the most important attributes of a sword. With the combination of the two, Lu Qingshan was able to easily blow up his magic weapon.
With one sword, he broke the Qingluo formation and then smashed a low-grade celestial weapon. At this moment, Lu Qingshan was like a celestial being and officially stepped into the territory of Qingluo Sect.
Just as the deputy leader of Qingluo Sect was panicking, another angry shout came from the sky, "You bold lunatic, you actually destroyed my Qingluo formation and cut off the foundation of our Qingluo Sect... You will not be spared!"
A bone-chilling storm roared in, rising from the ground and blocking Lu Qingshan.
"A fusion cultivator." Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the ice and snow storm in front of him.
This is the realm of law.
In the center of the legal domain was a thin figure who looked to be around forty or fifty years old, emitting an oppressive aura.
This person is the current leader of Qingluo Sect, Leader Pu Ze!
As soon as Sect Leader Pu Ze appeared with a gloomy face, he expanded his domain of authority, covering Lu Qingshan and launched an attack.
A heavy pressure came and descended upon Lu Qingshan.
In this area, frost was produced and woven into arrows as it danced. With overwhelming power and bone-chilling coldness, it shot towards Lu Qingshan.
Sect Master Pu Ze was not a man of violent temper, but when the sect's great formation was destroyed, no matter how well-mannered he was, he could not hide his anger and almost lost his temper.
A cold light flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes, and he looked coldly at the rain of ice crystal arrows in the sky.
The space around him was extremely congested, making it difficult for him to move and restricting his movements.
But Lu Qingshan just snorted coldly, and the nine dragon meridians in his Nascent Soul began to absorb and exhale Yuanli at the same time.
A powerful Yuan force gushed out, and even his hair seemed to be glowing. The brilliance in his eyes was extremely awe-inspiring. He opened and closed his eyes and rushed forward.
Sect Leader Pu Ze was furious, and felt an extremely absurd feeling in his heart.
He is just a Divine Transformation cultivator. How could he be so fearless of him, a Fusion cultivator?
After a moment, the expression on the face of this powerful combined being froze.
Lu Qingshan was in his domain of law, as if he was in an empty space. His figure was as fast as a bolt of lightning, and as he swung the sword in his hand, the sword energy was everywhere, destroying all the rain of ice crystal arrows in the sky.
Is this still a cultivator who has reached the state of Divine Transformation?
Since when did the domain of a fusion cultivator become so ineffective in deterring a spirit transformation cultivator?
"Looking for death!" Seeing Lu Qingshan still moving forward in his domain with his spear pointed at him, Sect Leader Pu Ze's eyes were bloodshot.
He took a deep breath, pointed to the sky with one hand and the ground with the other, and shouted softly: "Ice and Frost Heart!"
An invisible undercurrent spread from the Dharma Realm. A circular ice and snow storm spread rapidly, and a bone-chilling chill suddenly arose. The sky and the earth turned into ice and snow, as if to freeze the entire Dharma Realm space and time.
Lu Qingshan felt the chill immediately.
This feeling is not pleasant.
The coldness not only hindered his progress, but also seemed to freeze his consciousness.
If attack power is the signature of a sword cultivator, then speed is the life of a sword cultivator.
This chill greatly affected Lu Qingshan's speed.
"A control type domain?" he muttered.
The Dharma Domain is actually an extremely comprehensive magical power, like a mobile magic circle exclusively for the fusion monks, which includes many abilities such as attack, defense and control.
Although the capabilities of the law domain are comprehensive and all-encompassing, there are always focuses.
Some monks' domains of law tend to be offensive, while others' domains of law tend to be defensive.
The domain of law of the Pu Ze Sect Master in front of him is undoubtedly biased towards control.
“With the freezing ability of my Ice Domain, he will be unable to move in my domain from now on. A swordsman without speed is like a turtle in a jar, right?” In the center of the domain, Patriarch Pu Ze smiled and muttered to himself.
He waved his hand, and the frost and snow in the sky rushed straight towards Lu Qingshan, instantly submerging his figure, turning it into a rolling snowball, which suddenly shrank, ready to freeze the surrounded Lu Qingshan into an ice sculpture.
"It's done... There is an insurmountable barrier between the Divine Transformation cultivators and the Fusion cultivators." He felt more and more relaxed.
Just as the complacency on Patriarch Pu Ze's face grew more and more intense, a roar rose up from his domain of law.
His expression suddenly changed and his eyes focused.
I saw an earth-shaking aura being released directly from the shrinking ice crystal snowball.
The aura was huge, powerful, and difficult to describe, and there was even a flash of green light.
Faintly, Patriarch Pu Ze could see a huge shadow suddenly appearing among them.
That is... a green snake!
A mysterious green snake, born from sword energy.
The snake's body danced, the green air swayed, and the sword energy burst out. The ice crystal snowball could not resist and exploded instantly with a roar.
Afterwards, the green snake moved forward all the way, and the cold current that permeated the magic domain could not get close to it at all.
Behind the green snake, Lu Qingshan walked out step by step.
This is his sword energy creature.
The sword-born green snake is very courageous.
The simplest and most brutal way to crack a control-type domain is to break it with force.
That’s exactly what Lu Qingshan did!
The green snake was extremely mysterious and went straight towards the leader of Pu Ze.
Sect Leader Pu Ze was horrified and with a flick of his sleeves, he opened up the magic domain again. All kinds of spiritual lights appeared and ice and snow condensed into all kinds of ferocious beasts, roaring towards the green snake.
White tiger, black tortoise, red bird... these ferocious beasts made of ice and snow are lifelike, but unfortunately they only have their form and not their spirit.
The green snake shook its head violently and flew away with a roar. All the ice and snow collapsed and dissipated as soon as they touched it.
Sect Master Pu Ze, who was at the initial stage of fusion, turned pale. Seeing the green snake's unstoppable force, he was about to dodge, but Lu Qingshan raised his right hand at this moment.
Under his thoughts, the green snake suddenly dispersed and turned into a crescent-shaped sword energy that filled the sky.
Wherever the sword energy passed, a brilliant light spread throughout the entire area, leaving no place for anyone to hide.
Even though Sect Master Pu Ze quickly opened his lips and snow rushed into the sky, forming an ice ball with clear stripes to protect himself, it was too late, and the sword energy rolled down like a long river.
Not a fall, but a pour.
"ah!"
Sect Master Pu Ze screamed, his body shook violently, and he flew backwards. The domain of law could no longer be maintained and dissipated on its own. He was covered in blood and his bones were shattered. He fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.
"What... trick is this?" After all, he is a fusion cultivator, it is impossible for him to die so easily.
He stared with wide eyes at Lu Qingshan who was standing proudly.
As a cultivator of the fusion stage, he was defeated so easily by a cultivator of the spirit transformation stage.
"Impossible, how could this happen?" The cultivator in the combined state was in a horrible state, with his flesh and blood being torn off. The deputy leader of Qingluo Sect standing nearby was trembling all over as he watched.
If a sect leader who had achieved the level of a fusion of powers ended up like this, wouldn't he have died seventy or eighty times already?
The reason why only his magic weapon exploded just now seemed to be because Lu Qingshan showed mercy?
The deputy leader of Qingluo Sect, who realized this, felt a sense of luck that he had survived after death, as well as a hidden sense of gratitude towards Lu Qingshan that he was not even aware of.
…
Although Lu Qingshan had achieved such outstanding results, he did not show much pride on his face.
He had just completed his promotion and his cultivation was only in the initial stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, but he was already able to defeat the cultivators in the Fusion Realm.
Now that his cultivation has reached the perfection of the Divine Transformation Stage, coupled with the 90% damage bonus provided by the Dragon Bird, his attacking capability has reached a level of unparalleled bravery and terror that is hard for others to imagine.
For him, using the sword energy and living creature tactics to defeat a cultivator in the early stage of fusion was not something worthy of praise.
This time, he rarely fought without killing the enemy.
——The so-called Tan Tai Qing Run being imprisoned in Qing Luo Sect was just Rosen’s one-sided statement.
It is impossible for him to regard Qingluo Sect as an evil sect and the Qingluo Sect monks as enemies just because of such remarks.
What's more, even if what Rosen said was true, in Lu Qingshan's judgment, it was most likely done by only a few people, and the other Qingluo Sect monks might know nothing about it and were innocent.
Lu Qingshan is fearless, but not cruel.
He could use brutal means to save Tan Tai Qing Run, but he was unwilling to wantonly massacre the innocent and weak.
Sword cultivators are good at killing, but they are not bloodthirsty!
So after he arrived at Qingluo Sect, he did not hide his identity, and initially demonstrated his strength. He also had a brief conversation with the deputy leader of Qingluo Sect.
The purpose was to achieve the goal without bloodshed, by intimidating the Qingluo Sect and his own strength, and make the Qingluo Sect cooperate with his actions.
But the opposite happened.
But even if the deputy leader of Qingluo Sect was unwilling to start the formation, he broke the formation with one sword. Facing the obstruction of the leader and deputy leader of Qingluo Sect, he did not want to start a massacre before the truth came out.
Of course, if Sect Leader Pu Ze insisted on seeking death, Lu Qingshan would not be polite to him anymore.
His mercy only lasts one chance.
"Now, is there anyone who wants to stop me?" Lu Qingshan looked around.
At this time, as the Qingluo formation was broken and Sect Master Pu Ze took action, more and more Qingluo disciples appeared and gathered.
But so many cultivators were silent under Lu Qingshan's gaze.
Seeing that no one dared to respond, Lu Qingshan no longer worried too much and wantonly released his huge spiritual sense, spreading it in all directions.
The cultivators of Qingluo Sect could all feel a naked, undisguised spiritual sense sweeping over them at this moment.
This was an impolite act that was considered taboo in the world of cultivation, but at this moment, no one dared to say a word, no matter how humiliated they felt.
Elder Murong, who was hiding in the crowd, had turned pale.
He didn't expect that the two leaders of Qingluo Sect would be so incompetent, and he didn't expect Lu Qingshan to be so powerful.
Tan Tai Qing Run was currently being suppressed in the secret room by him, and it was not something that could be told to outsiders.
But with Lu Qingshan's meticulous search, the truth will eventually be revealed.
Once something happens, his spiritual cultivation will be absolutely worthless in front of Lu Qingshan.
"Someone has misled me! Is today the day I will die?" Elder Murong cried out in his heart, feeling extremely unwilling. He racked his brains to come up with a plan to survive, but found that it was a situation where he had no chance of survival.
Suddenly, a breath of vicissitudes emanated from the depths of the earth of Qingluo Gate.
A green gas rose along the earth and went straight into the sky, covering the entire Qingluo Gate with a layer of green light.
It was as if some great terror was awakening from the earth.
Cough cough!
An old cough came from far away and alarmed all the Qingluo Sect monks, including Lu Qingshan.
Soon, a figure slowly appeared in the green air.
"I was just asleep for a while, and the sect has become like this?" A vicissitudes of life voice sounded.
It was an old man, skinny and wearing a loose green robe. His hair and beard were all white. There was no blood in his face and his eyes were lifeless, like a dried corpse.
But as he walked out, the panicked deputy leader of Qingluo Sect showed excitement.
"Junior pays homage to Ancestor Qingluo!"
He hurriedly shouted and saluted the old man.
As his voice rang out, the Qingluo Sect disciples on the ground shuddered all over, and remembered a legend - their sect's first generation leader, Qingluo Patriarch, had never died and had been protecting their Qingluo Sect in secret.
I didn’t expect this legend to be true!
Elder Murong, who had originally fallen into despair, saw hope in his eyes again the moment Ancestor Qingluo appeared .
Ancestor Qingluo was a legendary figure in his time. He single-handedly founded the Qingluo Sect, which has been passed down for thousands of years. His strength is definitely not comparable to that of Sect Master Pu Ze.
Perhaps, if he were there, he could still stop Lu Qingshan, and he would still have hope and a chance to survive today.
"Who are you?" The old ancestor Qingluo finally walked out of the earth, his eyes lingering on Lu Qingshan's young face.
He looks young, but the age of a monk obviously cannot be determined by appearance.
"Your life force is extremely strong, which means you are not very old. How can you be so powerful at such a young age? Are you the successor of Dao Sect?" he asked in surprise.
In order to slow down the passage of his lifespan, he completely sealed off his vitality and consciousness and hardly cared about worldly affairs. Therefore, he did not recognize Lu Qingshan like other people did, and had never heard of Lu Qingshan's deeds.
But in his opinion, only Dao Sect can cultivate such an outstanding disciple to have such achievements at such a young age.
"Ancestor, he is a cultivator from the Sword Sect and a disciple of the Fairy Luoshen!" Sect Master Pu Ze, who had been seriously injured and had just climbed up, shouted hurriedly to remind his ancestor.
"The disciple of the Fairy Luoshen?" Ancestor Qingluo's eyebrows twitched, and a feeling of fear arose in his heart.
He didn't know about Lu Qingshan, but Xia Daoyuan's name was well-known, even he had heard of it.
“Ahem… Even if you are a disciple of Fairy Luoshen, there is no reason for you to break into my Qingluo Sect alone and even hurt the monks of our sect.” Ancestor Qingluo coughed and said slowly.
"I gave them a chance, but they insisted on stopping me. I was already being polite by not killing them." Lu Qingshan spoke coldly, squinting his eyes as he looked at the old man in front of him, feeling extremely fearful in his heart.
Mid-stage fusion.
The old ancestor Qingluo in front of him was actually at the middle stage of the fusion realm.
When you reach the seventh level, it’s no longer the same as before.
Starting from the fusion stage, a small rank difference will result in a huge difference in strength.
In the initial stage of fusion, the law domain is just being opened.
In the middle stage of fusion, the Dharma Realm has already begun to become a world in itself, accumulating the power of heaven and earth.
Monks can use the power of heaven and earth to quickly recover from their injuries.
As long as the law domain is not broken and the power of heaven and earth is not exhausted, the master of the law domain will be almost immortal and his combat power will increase exponentially.
"That's right, you didn't kill him." The old ancestor Qingluo's eyes showed a hint of glimmer, and looked at Lu Qingshan, "But my Qingluo Sect spent a lot of effort to build the protective formation, and you just destroyed it?"
"I dare not refuse. This is what you wish." Lu Qingshan took a deep breath and prepared for battle.
A cultivator in the middle stage of fusion is very powerful, but not impossible to deal with.
And no matter what, he still has the sword talisman.
As soon as the sword talisman was released, the opponent was doomed, and he had no way to control the power of the sword talisman.
If the opponent is not determined to fight him to the death and is not too powerful to deal with, he'd better not use the sword talisman.
"Has anyone from our Qingluo Sect offended you, young friend?" The voice of the Qingluo ancestor echoed.
"My people may be imprisoned in Qingluo Sect right now," Lu Qingshan repeated what he said before, looking at the Qingluo Patriarch and said, "I want you to cooperate with me and let me search inside your sect. If it is just a misunderstanding, I will apologize to your sect and compensate for the losses."
"Is this all you ask?" asked Patriarch Qingluo.
"That's it."
"Why don't you agree to such a simple condition? You two are so confused as to let things become like this!" Qingluo looked at the two sect leaders and said calmly.
Sect Leader Pu Ze and the Deputy Sect Leader were both stunned upon hearing this, feeling aggrieved and shocked.
But the person in front of them was the ancestor of Qingluo Sect, so how could they dare to go against his wishes? They could only bow their heads and admit their mistakes.
"It's the junior's fault for not handling the matter carefully." The deputy leader of Qingluo Sect was the first to admit his mistake.
"Well, you are also trying to maintain the reputation of the sect, so I can't blame you." Patriarch Qingluo sighed, then turned to look at Lu Qingshan.
His cloudy eyes looked extremely deep, and he said to Lu Qingshan calmly: "Since you said your friend might be imprisoned in our sect , please do as you please."
