Lu Qingshan came quickly and left quickly. No one dared to stop him, so he disappeared in an instant.
Only the Qingluo Sect that had lost its protective formation, the Qingluo Sect disciples who had left the cave because they were startled by the noise just now, and the Sect Master Pu Ze who had been seriously injured were left, proving that he had been there before.
"The strongest fifth realm, Lu Qingshan, has already achieved the perfect cultivation of the Spiritualization Realm, and his combat power is comparable to that of a cultivator in the early stage of the Fusion Realm."
The deputy leader of Qingluo Sect was still digesting this shocking news. The more he thought about it, the more shocked he felt. He intuitively felt that the world had reached a point that he could not understand.
Dozens of breaths after Lu Qingshan left, the figure of Ancestor Qingluo appeared in Elder Murong's cave.
"Ancestor." The deputy leader of Qingluo Sect and the leader of Pu Ze hurriedly saluted respectfully.
"He's gone?"
"Yes." Sect Master Pu Ze nodded.
Then there was silence. After a moment, Patriarch Qingluo raised his head, looked around, and sighed, "The formation is gone. You must be more careful in the next period of time to rebuild the formation as soon as possible, and avoid being taken advantage of by other villains."
"Ancestor, we understand," Sect Master Pu Ze responded, "Although the formation is destroyed, our Qingluo Sect monks are all here, and the outside sects won't dare to provoke us easily."
"It's just..." Sect Master Pu Ze and the Deputy Sect Master looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and said with difficulty: "It's not that the juniors are disrespectful, but I don't understand why the ancestor is so polite to Lu Qingshan."
"You've seen that what he said is true. Someone in our Qingluo Sect did imprison his friend. And this person is a cultivator from the underworld. From this point of view, if we really want to investigate, our sect will also be charged with harboring a cultivator from the underworld. We should thank him for helping us uncover the internal trouble."
"But..." Sect Master Pu Ze was still unwilling, "No matter what, he shouldn't be so overbearing and directly destroy our sect's protective formation."
"Then what else do you want?" Ancestor Qingluo turned around, with an indescribable look in his eyes, "Go settle accounts with him, can you beat him?"
"If he hadn't shown mercy, you would have been a dead body now, do you know that?"
Master Pu Ze was speechless for a moment, and after a while he slowly said: "Don't we still have you, the ancestor..."
"Do you think that if I really take action, I will definitely be his opponent?"
"Ancestor, what you mean is that Lu Qingshan even possesses the combat power of the middle stage of the fusion?" Sect Master Pu Ze was stunned and exclaimed in shock, not daring to believe it.
As a cultivator in the early stage of fusion, he understood very well how powerful a cultivator in the middle stage of fusion was. Although it seemed that he was only one small level lower than the cultivator in the early stage of fusion, it could produce a qualitative change.
"I'm not sure, but it is very likely so. Even if I can suppress him, it will take a lot of effort. You have to understand that my current condition is not suitable for fierce fighting." Ancestor Qingluo said slowly.
At this point, Sect Master Pu Ze suddenly realized that Patriarch Qingluo had sealed up all of his vitality and energy in order to slow down its loss because his life span was coming to an end.
If he wants to fight Lu Qingshan, he must unlock the seal...
"I didn't think it through enough..." Sect Leader Pu Ze bowed and stopped arguing.
"Ahem..." Elder Qingluo coughed twice more violently, and said in a hoarse voice, "I have to leave the sect for some matters, and I have no idea when I will return. If anyone comes to look for me, tell him the truth."
"Ah?" Before Sect Master Pu Ze could react, a green light flashed before his eyes, and the figure of Patriarch Qingluo disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The two sect leaders stood there in a daze, and finally couldn't help but smile bitterly.
What's all this fuss about? Not only was the sect's formation broken by a single sword strike, but the sect's ancestor also suddenly left. Why does it feel so desolate and sad...
…
The Qingluo Sect was one of the largest sects in Xingzhou, and the disappearance of its protective formation was a very serious matter, which was soon noticed by other cultivators.
Some people began to inquire about the news, wanting to know what had happened in Qingluo Sect.
There were too many Qingluo Sect monks who witnessed this incident, and the two Qingluo Sect leaders knew they had no way of keeping it secret, so they simply ignored it.
In addition, Xingzhou is one of the top-ranked states in Zhongtian Territory. It is home to all kinds of religions and sects, and is extremely prosperous and lively, and the news is very well-informed.
So in just one day, this shocking news spread like a virus from Xingzhou to all states and regions of the human race.
"Shocking news! Just yesterday, the strongest fifth-level sword master, Lu Qingshan, took action. With one sword, he blasted open the top-level sect Qingluo Sect's protective formation and severely injured the Qingluo Sect's master who was at the early stage of fusion cultivation!"
The battle situation of Qingluo Sect that day was quickly known to everyone, shocking everyone who heard the news.
If Lu Qingshan's previous reputation was already very sensational and well-known, then this piece of news was even more shocking and shocking than all the previous news, leaving countless cultivators frightened and dumbfounded.
"Lu Qingshan defeated a cultivator in the fusion stage. Did I hear it right? How could a cultivator in the refining stage achieve such a level? It's outrageous, outrageous. The person who spread the rumor is thinking we are fools!" Most people's first reaction was to not believe it and think it was a rumor.
It's not their fault. The news is really too untrue, absurd and beyond common sense.
"It's absolutely true. However, it's not something that a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage can achieve. Lu Qingshan has already reached the perfect state of Spirit Transformation!" An insider revealed another bombshell news.
"It's outrageous, still outrageous. A month ago, Tianji Temple just rated him as the strongest in the fifth realm. Now you tell me that he has become a perfect cultivator of the Spiritual Transformation Realm? Don't you think it's funny?"
I still don’t believe it.
This matter caused a stir at the time. Some people who knew the situation argued for their point, while others simply defined the news as a rumor from a common sense perspective, defining it as someone trying to attract attention. Both sides held different opinions.
The more heated the debate, the higher the temperature.
However, this debate is limited to those monks with lower cultivation levels.
Specific and accurate information was soon presented on the desks of many large sects and families, and was reviewed by some powerful monks.
"It only took Lu Qingshan one year to go from the beginning of the Void Refining Realm to the strongest fifth realm... I thought there would be nothing more outrageous than this in the world, but now I'm told that he didn't even need a month to go from the strongest fifth realm to the perfection of the Spiritual Transformation Realm? Is this reasonable?"
Even the powerful monks who were used to big scenes were feeling very emotional at this moment, not knowing how to evaluate Lu Qingshan.
"The further you advance in the ninth realm, the harder it becomes. Why is it that for him, it seems to be the other way around?" A powerful monk tapped the table with his knuckles, muttering to himself.
"Putting aside the fact that his cultivation progress is so outrageous, how can he, a cultivator at the stage of Divine Transformation, defeat a cultivator at the stage of Fusion?" some monks from major sects could not help but ask.
The further you advance in the nine realms of cultivation, the more difficult it becomes. Likewise, the gap between the two realms also becomes greater.
If the gap between Nascent Soul cultivators and Golden Core cultivators is one .
Then the difference between a Spiritualization cultivator and a Void Refining cultivator is ten.
The gap between a fusion cultivator and a spirit transformation cultivator can be as high as twenty or even thirty.
But when they recalled Lu Qingshan's achievements, they suddenly realized:
When Lu Qingshan was in the late Jindan stage, he defeated Zhou Yuan, who was in the early Yuanying stage, and won the championship in the Seven Realms Discussion.
When he was in the Nascent Soul stage, he killed a cultivator in the early stage of the Spiritualization stage and won the title of "the strongest in the four realms".
When he reached the stage of Lianxu, he killed a demon beast in the perfect stage of Shenhua with a single sword and won the title of "the strongest in the five realms" again.
Now, Lu Qingshan has entered the Spirit Transformation Realm, but he is still able to defeat cultivators in the Fusion Realm.
This sword cultivator seemed to always treat realm as nothing.
What kind of terrifying existence is this?
"Young Sword Immortal, this is definitely a young Sword Immortal. His potential and talent are comparable to his master Xia Daoyun, or even better!" Finally, someone made this judgment.
There was a great earthquake in the human realm, and many people were analyzing and discussing it.
Finally, they concluded that Lu Qingshan really had the qualities of a sword immortal, and that in the future there might be a situation where both the master and his disciples were sword immortals, or there were three sword immortals in one sect.
"The Sword Sect has Xia Daoyun and Lu Qingshan, so it will prosper!" Even among the Dao Sect, there are powerful people who sigh like this.
…
As the outside world was in turmoil, Lu Qingshan had already climbed up to the Tianji Temple again.
Lotus Peak, in a classical room.
Tan Tai Qingrun lay on a rosewood bed with his eyes closed. The color on his face had faded a lot, and the situation was not optimistic.
There were two people standing in the room.
The master of Shuiyue Temple and Lu Qingshan.
At this moment, Tan Tai Qingrun was covered in a faint green light.
After a moment, the green light dissipated.
“It’s a strange secret technique. This secret technique will continuously take away her vitality. Moreover, this secret technique is hidden in her blood and integrated into her blood. Therefore, if one does not have a certain understanding of this aspect, it is difficult to detect even if one’s Yuanshen is powerful.” The master of Shuiyue Temple said to Lu Qingshan after taking back the spiritual technique.
Lu Qingshan is obviously not someone who has this kind of understanding.
What else does a sword cultivator know besides the sword?
"So that's how it is." Lu Qingshan nodded, feeling much more relieved.
Since the cause of the problem can be found, with the ability of the master of Shuiyue Temple, it is likely that the problem can be solved.
really.
“Although it’s weird, it’s not a difficult problem for me. It’s because the secret magic patterns have been integrated with her blood. I need some time to slowly extract these patterns.” The master of Shuiyue Temple said again.
Lu Qingshan said with shame and gratitude: "I have to trouble you again, Master."
The head of Shuiyue Temple waved his hand and said, "You're welcome."
"It's just..." She paused, looked at Lu Qingshan, and couldn't help asking: "If I'm not mistaken, your current cultivation is the Perfect Spiritualization?"
Lu Qingshan nodded and explained, "I have gained some insights during this period, so my cultivation has improved."
This explanation is worse than no explanation.
The master of Shuiyue Temple pondered the word "progress" and said to himself.
After a long while, she finally let out a breath and sighed, "Young people are really formidable."
She didn't ask any more questions and waved her hand, "Well, you can leave first. I'll help solve her problem first."
The master of Shuiyue Temple has always been a man of great wisdom.
Lu Qingshan did not doubt him, and respectfully performed the salute as a junior to the abbot of Shuiyue Temple, then slowly retreated.
…
After leaving the room, Lu Qingshan looked normal and waited quietly, but a cruel feeling emerged in his heart.
This matter is by no means over.
After Tan Tai Qingrun recovered from his injuries and regained consciousness, he would find out the situation and start settling the score.
Today, he is capable of handling many things on his own.
He now has the cultivation level of perfect transformation of the spirit and the combat power of the fusion realm.
In the human realm, most of the powerful cultivators are concentrated in the Seven Mountains and One River, confronting the demons from afar. His seventh-level combat power should not be underestimated.
He was silent.
After several hours, the tightly closed door opened and the figure of the master of Shuiyue Temple appeared.
The beautiful nun nodded slightly to Lu Qingshan and said, "She's awake. Go in and take a look."
Lu Qingshan clasped his fists again and bowed deeply to the master of Shuiyue Temple, then turned and walked into the room.
At this time, Tan Tai Qingrun, who had been unconscious not long ago, was already half leaning on the head of the bed, looking at Lu Qingshan who walked in.
"How do you feel?" Lu Qingshan asked with concern.
"I'm still a little weak, but the injury is not serious. I'll be back to normal after some time." Tan Tai Qingrun is not the kind of woman who would show her weakness, so she said in a very casual manner.
Then, she looked around and asked carefully, "Is this Tianji Temple?"
Lu Qingshan nodded. "The secret technique you were hit by is very strange. I can't solve it, so I brought you to Tianji Temple."
"So..." Tan Tai Qing Run murmured, raised his eyelids again, and looked at Lu Qing Shan, "I found out something important to tell you."
"Big news?" Lu Qingshan frowned, but seeing Tan Tai Qingrun's expression, he knew what she was worried about. "Don't worry, it's safe here, you can tell me directly."
"Okay." Tan Tai Qingrun nodded, believing in Lu Qingshan's judgment. Without further ado, he took out something from his arms.
It was a spiritual jade that shone with a moist light, and was usually used to store information about skills and spells.
"What is this?" Lu Qingshan asked in surprise.
"Take a look first." Tan Tai Qingrun said immediately.
Lu Qingshan knew that something big must be happening, so he quickly took the spiritual jade and probed his spiritual sense into it.
In the Lingyu, there is only a paragraph introducing the secret method...
"Blood Word Art is one of the Eight Secrets of the Abyss, and is a secret technique of the Giant Spirit Clan. Through this secret, the Giant Spirit Demon Clan gains the ability to control the essence and blood, and can refine the essence and blood of living beings to increase their own strength. It is the number one auxiliary secret technique of the Demon Clan."
The Blood Letter Technique is the secret method introduced in Lingyu.
"The Eight Secrets of the Abyss?" Lu Qingshan murmured.
There are eight holy demon clans in the abyss, and each of them has mastered an extremely powerful secret technique, which is the so-called eight secrets.
Each of the eight secrets has its own magic and strengths. The "Soldier" secret that he mastered is the supreme secret method of the Soldier Demon Clan and the number one secret method of the Demon Clan to attack.
The "blood" technique mastered by the giant demon clan is not outstanding in attack, its strength lies in the auxiliary aspect.
Refining essence and blood to increase one's strength, this sounds a bit like the methods used by some evil practitioners, but compared with the evil practitioners, the "blood" technique is not a bit stronger.
The forbidden techniques of evil practitioners are basically quick-learning techniques, which are a means of forcing things to grow.
Although it can allow evil cultivators to advance by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, first of all, there is an upper limit to its improvement.
Weaker forbidden techniques may allow evil cultivators to reach the Nascent Soul Stage or the Refining Void Stage, but their cultivation cannot be improved any further.
The stronger ones are only at the Spirit Transformation Realm and the Fusion Realm.
There has never been a forbidden technique that can help evil practitioners advance to the eighth level.
Therefore, these forbidden techniques are regarded as unorthodox because they do not lead to the right path.
In addition, improving one's cultivation through such evil methods will usually be accompanied by various defects and hidden dangers.
For example, practicing sorcery will advance a monk's potential and lifespan.
It may also disturb the monk's mind, causing him to have many inner demons, and finally make him go astray, causing his personality to change drastically, or lead to a situation of "high cultivation but low combat power", etc.
In short, few people would learn evil cultivation methods unless they really have to.
However, the reason why the "Blood" technique is regarded as the demon clan's first auxiliary secret technique is because these side effects and defects are not applicable to this secret technique at all.
——There is no upper limit to its effect of increasing strength. As long as you can find blood essence that contains enough power, even if you are a ninth-grade magic cultivator, the "blood" technique can help you reach a higher level of cultivation.
In addition, there is no hidden danger in improving the cultivation level of the "Blood" technique!
It is also because of this secret method that the giant demon clan has always been the clan with the largest number of high-powered demon cultivators in the abyss, and in terms of paper strength, it ranks first.
"It doesn't seem to be a big deal..." Lu Qingshan thought after reading the introduction in detail.
Although the information about the "blood" formula can be considered secret, it should not be something that Tan Tai Qingrun would consider a big deal.
That means that what really shocked Tan Tai Qingrun is still to come.
Lu Qingshan's spiritual sense continued to sweep downwards, and he saw that after the introduction of the secret method of the "blood" character, there was another sentence left.
It was just a simple sentence, with only eight words in total, but it made Lu Qingshan's pupils shrink suddenly, his heart tremble, and it set off a huge wave of emotions.
"King Qing slaughtered blood to seek the ancestral realm!"
