The only problem is that when the "God-killing" war event started, the plot timeline in "Nine Heavens" had already reached the 212th year of Xianwu.
And now, the human race has only reached the seventh year .
Converted to the past, it is equivalent to seven years of Xianwu.
Will the time difference of more than two hundred years make a lot of difference to Heiyuan?
Is the Blood Demon Lord already in the Abyss at this moment?
Or, could it be that because the time has been advanced, the demon currently existing in the Abyss is not the Blood Demon Lord, but a more powerful being?
However, no matter whether it is the Blood Demon Lord or any other demon lord, as an eighth-grade demon cultivator, Lu Qingshan is definitely not capable of spying on him at the moment.
If you can’t beat them, ask God for help.
Lu Qingshan strolled along the streets of Hujia City, wondering which great god to ask for help.
If you ask for help from Tianjiguan...
Firstly, he was an outer sect cultivator after all, and the abbot of Shuiyue Temple had been kind enough to him. If he continued to ask for help, it would seem like he was being too demanding.
The second and most important point is that the spiritual practitioners in Tianji Temple are not good at fighting, and the master of Shuiyue Temple is only at the eighth level.
Lu Qingshan was not sure, if there really was a Demon Lord in the Abyss at this time, would she be able to fight him?
If we are defeated and something bad happens, that would be bad.
In terms of individual cultivator combat power alone, there is no doubt that the Sword Sect is the strongest among the seven major Taoist sects.
After all, sword cultivators have always been a group of cultivators who are good at killing.
From this point of view, seeking help from Xia Daoyuan is undoubtedly the best choice.
Xia Daoyun is Lu Qingshan's master, and he dotes on his disciple. They have a close enough relationship, and he also has the strength to deal with an eighth-grade demon lord...
I just don't know if it's convenient for Master to come out.
Lu Qingshan pondered.
It has been a turbulent time recently. First of all, there has been a lot of movement from the demons at Yumen Pass.
Lu Qingshan naturally knew what the demons were doing, and he also informed Xia Daoyun about the appearance of "Huang" in the Burning Moon Region.
Therefore, everyone understood that this was definitely not a deliberate trap set by the demon clan, but a real storm was about to come. The Sword Sect did not dare to slack off at all and had already deployed all its forces to be ready.
In addition, the Sword Sect also has to distract itself from investigating the Huanling Sect.
If we don't find out the situation of Huanling Sect, it would be like having a malignant tumor growing on our heart, making us feel uneasy.
Finally, Master had just survived the 69th heavenly tribulation, and he also needed to spend time to consolidate his cultivation.
In this situation, Xia Daoyuan might not be able to spare the time.
It’s better to send a spiritual letter back to the sect to inquire about the situation first.
If Master really can't spare the time, we can think of another way.
Lu Qingshan made a decision quickly, and he raised his head with a perk. The next moment, he was stunned at first, and then he smiled.
It seems that there is no need to be so troublesome.
A thin middle-aged man appeared on the street of Hujia City and walked towards him.
The man had nothing in his hands, but his sword intent soared into the sky, which was rare in the world.
Lu Qingshan hurriedly walked forward slowly, came in front of the middle-aged man, and stopped.
"Congratulations, senior, on your further advancement in cultivation." He clasped his fists and bowed.
If the sword intent advances further, the sword path will advance further.
Compared to when they parted, Li Qiubai's sword intent was undoubtedly more profound.
Li Qiubai, who was called the Sword Immortal but was actually in the eighth realm, did not say anything. He just looked up and down at this young man who had caused a lot of trouble in the human world during this period of time and whom even he could not help but be concerned about.
After a moment, he finally said slowly: "Your cultivation is progressing very quickly."
When they parted a month ago, Lu Qingshan had only reached perfection in the realm of refining emptiness, but now he has reached perfection in the realm of transforming the spirit.
To describe it as a sudden and rapid development is probably not enough.
"It's a matter of fate and chance." In front of the Sword Immortal, Lu Qingshan no longer fooled around.
"Luck..." Li Qiubai thought about it, nodded and emphasized: "It's good to have luck."
The sword master of Chang'an, Li Qiubai.
Lu Qingshan actually met this great man again in this small city of Beiqing.
"Senior, are you just passing by here?" Lu Qingshan asked.
The human domain is so vast, and it seemed too much of a coincidence that he met Li Qiubai again in such a small town.
Li Qiubai's aura is restrained, but his sword intent is sharp and can only be sensed by a true swordsman.
He didn't have the airs of a so-called sword master. He smiled broadly, as if chatting with a junior, and said in a friendly manner, "I came here specially to see you."
Lu Qingshan raised his eyebrows, somewhat puzzled.
"I heard about you and felt that your progress in cultivation was very strange. I wanted to see if you had encountered any problems." Li Qiubai said with a smile.
Lu Qingshan felt relieved, but there was a strange and indescribable feeling in his heart.
A senior kendo master who he just met by chance was so concerned about his situation that he felt he was being promoted and cared for.
"Very good, your cultivation is solid and your foundation is solid. It seems that I overestimated you." Li Qiubai finally confirmed Lu Qingshan's current situation, smiled, and said softly: "The back wave pushes the front wave. Today's swordsmanship seems to be much more prosperous than in Chang'an."
Lu Qingshan was overwhelmed with emotions for a moment, and he could understand Li Qiubai's thoughts.
As the undisputed leader of today's kendo, it seems natural for him to pay a little more attention to a younger generation who is very promising and very much to his liking.
This is also the unique temperament of sword cultivators.
Because Kendo is an acquired way, it is an unknown path.
How can a sword cultivator become an immortal and become a master?
No one knew at first.
However, there are countless sword practitioners who, like a torch of inheritance, explore and pursue the goal from generation to generation.
The path they took in order to become sword immortals and to advance to the ancestral realm is the path of sword immortals, the ancestral path, and the way of the sword.
It is precisely because of this reason that the relationship between sword cultivators is somewhat different from that between other schools.
Because everyone is actually working towards the same goal, just at different speeds and in different orders.
This is a bit like those people who shared the same revolution back then, had no blood relationship but had an extremely deep friendship.
However, now that Li Qiubai had come to him, Lu Qingshan had many ideas.
He smiled innocently and asked, "I heard that you fought with Prince Qing a few days ago, won a great victory over him, and forced him to come to Chang'an for investigation?"
Li Qiubai nodded slightly, "It's the father's fault if the son doesn't teach well. Besides, he may not be innocent."
Lu Qingshan agreed: "Indeed."
Then he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Senior, have you heard about the bloody massacre?"
"Bloody Massacre?" Li Qiubai couldn't help but frown and stared at Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan had no intention of keeping the secret, so he quickly briefly introduced the causes and consequences of the bloody massacre to Li Qiubai.
"Prince Qing slaughtered blood, in order to seek the ancestral realm? Are you sure?" Li Qiubai was a little surprised, his eyes twitched slightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "So, you are here to investigate this matter?"
"That's right," Lu Qingshan said, "We have gained a lot so far, but there are still some places we haven't visited yet. There should be more information there."
"Whether it is true or not, we will know when the time comes."
"Is that place dangerous?" Li Qiubai saw through the intention hidden in Lu Qingshan's words at a glance.
Lu Qingshan did not hide it and grinned, "Yes, if it is convenient for you, I would like to ask you to go with me to check the situation."
"where?"
"Gyeongju, Heiyuan."
…
This is a vast iceberg plain, covering tens of millions of square miles, with a biting cold wind blowing across it.
The vast snowfield and the snow-capped peaks piercing the clouds. The bright rising sun shines on the white snowfield, reflecting and emitting colorful light, which is very charming.
At this time, a sword cultivator flew over the sky on a sword, leaving a white trail after flying at a high speed.
whoosh!
Finally, the sword light stopped in front of a deep pit.
It is said to be a pit... but in fact it is an abyss. You can't see the bottom at a glance. It is dark and unfathomable, and it covers an extremely large area.
Seen from the sky, it looked like a piece of the earth had been hollowed out, and there was a faint sucking force coming out of it, and a thick layer of gray miasma was spreading.
This is the Black Abyss, a forbidden area full of dangers.
This is a wild land, filled with miasma all day long. Fierce miasma beasts and monsters are everywhere, making it a chaotic and bloody place, deserted all day long.
The sword light dissipated, and two figures emerged from it.
"It's here." Lu Qingshan said.
Li Qiubai glanced at Hei Yuan, nodded slightly, and said directly without caring: "Then let's go in and take a look."
For him, investigating the Black Abyss did not require any silent sneaking or much planning.
This is confidence in one's own strength.
After saying that, Li Qiubai leaped into the abyss.
Lu Qingshan hurriedly followed behind, moving in the direction of the slight suction force in the abyss.
To be honest, this was not the first time he had come to this place, so he was pretty familiar with the place.
The two continued to fall, with poisonous miasma surging around them, but they used their energy to isolate themselves from it.
call!
The air beside my ears made a sharp whistling sound, and the surrounding miasma and rock walls swept upwards like phantoms.
After a long time, a layer of rock and ice finally appeared below, indicating that they had reached the bottom.
In a moment, the two landed on the rocky ice.
Looking around, there are endless mountains, forests, wastelands, and swamps in gray tones. The geographical environment seems very strange.
In the abyss, there is a unique atmosphere, like a small world.
The rotten, fishy smell wafted over, making people unable to help but cover their noses.
From time to time, there were shrill screams coming from a distance, and through the dense leaves, some vague shadows of wild beasts could be seen.
The most important thing is that the gray miasma is floating in the entire abyss world. Because of this thin layer of gray fog, it is impossible to see clearly if the distance is too far.
The beasts that can live in the miasma-filled abyss, even the most common ones, have strength close to the fourth level. It is no wonder that the Black Abyss is regarded as a forbidden area.
Tear!
Just then, a shrill scream was heard.
A gray demon snake turned into a streak of light and suddenly emerged from the ground. It pounced on the two of them in an instant, opened its mouth, and sprayed a ball of extremely poisonous venom towards Lu Qingshan.
puff!
Li Qiubai on the side just glared and crushed the snake into pieces, and the venom dissipated and evaporated.
"This is the miasma monster in the black abyss." Lu Qingshan said in his heart.
It’s a pity that this miasma monster was so short-sighted that it attacked him in a suicidal manner. Li Qiubai didn’t even have to make a move. He just crushed the miasma monster with the pressure of his consciousness.
"Senior Li, please follow me." Lu Qingshan, who had come to his senses, said respectfully to Li Qiubai.
The Black Abyss is very large, and it would take a lot of time even for a sword master to explore it thoroughly.
This is also the reason why Lu Qingshan did not directly entrust the task to Li Qiubai, but asked him to come together.
——He still clearly remembered the exact location where the Blood Demon Lord appeared in the Abyss in his previous life, which would undoubtedly save a lot of investigation time and make it convenient for Li Qiubai.
Lu Qingshan looked around and after determining the direction, he led the way in front, heading east, walking at an astonishing speed in the vast black abyss.
Li Qiubai followed slowly, looking at Lu Qingshan's back, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
Half an hour later.
"We're here!" Lu Qingshan looked at the area in front of him where the Blood Demon Lord had appeared in his previous life, and his heart trembled.
"Sure enough, Kuroyon is indeed related to this incident!"
Li Qiubai, who was following Lu Qingshan, also suddenly contracted his pupils and his eyes became extremely sharp.
In an area not far in front of them, in the gray miasma, a layer of black demonic energy rolled up, which was incredibly thick.
In the area shrouded by the black evil energy, many figures appeared, shadowy and vague.
If you just look closely, you will find that these figures look strange. Although they have some human form, they are completely different from humans.
Because, the identities of these figures are...
Abyss Demon Cultivator!
…
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
Chang'an, Xianglong Mansion.
In the lobby of the mansion.
Prince Qing was sitting on the main throne.
Below the hall was a vague black shadow made up of mist.
"Xuan Zun, you finally decided to enter the country." Prince Qing said in a deep voice.
This black shadow was created by Xuanzun using magic.
"It doesn't matter whether you come early or late. It won't delay anything." A hoarse voice came from the dark shadow.
"Are you ready?" the black shadow asked again.
"I've been ready and waiting for you." Prince Qing looked straight ahead with a calm expression.
"Oh... In a short period of time, if you want to refine blood essence that is enough to advance you to the semi-ancestor level, even among all the giant demons in the entire Tianmen Domain, I am the only one who has this ability." The black shadow laughed hoarsely.
Among the four giants of the Giant Spirit Clan, Xuan Zun is the leader in terms of strength and is the undisputed number one demon cultivator in the Tianmen Realm.
After a pause, the hoarse voice continued, "You should also know how time-consuming and labor-intensive it is to refine the blood essence of tens of millions of people, most of whom are high-level cultivators, into blood essence."
"I understand," Prince Qing said calmly, "Don't worry, I will not break my promise to you and will not let your efforts go in vain."
"That's good... it's a win-win for both of us. Haha, I'll be there soon, just get ready." After the last words fell, the mist dissipated and disappeared completely.
The lobby suddenly became empty.
A moment later, a figure moved at the gate, and Jiuxuan, the trusted subordinate of Prince Qing, strode over.
"Prince Qing, everything is in place." Jiuxuan said respectfully.
Prince Qing nodded slowly.
"It is time for the human race to have another ancestor. After this battle, I will quell the danger of the demon race, completely resolve the worries of the human race, and complete the great task that Xia Zu failed to complete."
His serious expression flashed with a smile, a sense of relief, and a hint of ferocity.
