The Third Layer of the Void Refinement Realm
Five years later, deep in the Million Mountains of the Desolate Province, Ancient Wood trees reach for the sky, blocking out the sun.
A woman carried back a huge wild boar that was disproportionate to its size. With a thud, she threw it to the ground, then skillfully bled it out. She then used her Fire Lotus True Qi to start a great fire, and then cut down Ancient Wood to make a wooden frame on which she placed the wild boar to roast.
The woman then took out cumin, salt, and other seasonings from her Space Ring, and soon a mouthwatering aroma spread.
"We cultivators should have compassion for all living beings, but why do my tears uncontrollably flow from the corners of my mouth? Oh well, at least they can fill my belly, Lu Qinglian's stomach; it is its greatest fortune."
Honestly, I've been using this app to follow my favorite books lately. It has features like switching between different sources, multiple reading voice options, and it works on both Android and Apple devices.
While waiting, the woman couldn't help but wipe the drool from the corner of her mouth.
Her waist-length black hair seemed to glow with firelight.
Lin Qingzhi, Mo Huazhi, Chen Xiaoyao fell silent.
With their cultivation levels, they had already reached the stage of Grain Avoidance, yet Lu Qinglian still fed on various Great Demons.
According to her master, Lu Qinglian is a descendant of the Wilderness Tribe, and consuming various Great Demons is beneficial for nourishing the Martial King Divine Physique.
Aren't you going to eat?
Lu Qinglian ate heartily, but was puzzled to see her fellow disciples meditating.
"Now that Senior Sister mention it, I do feel hungry. Oh well, life is Xiaoyao, and we should enjoy ourselves. Satisfying our appetites isn't necessarily a bad thing."
Seeing the delicious food before him, Chen Xiaoyao joined in the feast.
Lin Qingzhi and Mo Huazhi exchanged a glance and each took a piece of roasted meat.
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from not far away, and rocks tumbled down.
Lu Changsheng was currently undergoing Body Tempering.
The Yin-Yang Flood Dragon Cauldron hovered in front of him, refining a large number of high-grade Medicinal Pills. The continuous stream of pure medicinal power was swallowed up by the Innate Dao Body like a whale or a dragon, used to temper every cell of his body. In the end, the Innate Dao Body emitted divine light.
One turn and you become a god; another turn and you become a demon.
Lu Changsheng has cultivated the Nine Turns Gods and Devils Body-Refining Method to the third revolution!
Lu Changsheng threw a punch, the force of which pierced through the mountain, causing a commotion.
"My Hundredfold Primordial Force has also reached the Third Layer, allowing me to unleash thirty times the force of my fist. I would be no less formidable than the Savage Elephant King from five years ago."
In the past five years, in addition to tracking the Demon Lord's whereabouts, Lu Changsheng has also been constantly cultivating and improving his own cultivation level.
Lu Changsheng practiced multiple Cultivation Method simultaneously.
Five years ago, Lu Changsheng benefited greatly from the battle with the Savage Elephant King, and began to pay attention to Body Tempering and Martial Technique.
Lu Changsheng cultivates the "Hundredfold Primordial Force" and combines it with the "Nine Turns Gods and Devils Body-Refining Method." Both of these Cultivation Method are Low-Grade Immortal Stage Cultivation Method. Once both Cultivation Method reach perfection, with his Nine Revolutions Gods and Devils Body, he can unleash the Hundredfold Primordial Force. I'm afraid few people from the Six Great Sects could withstand this punch.
Lu Changsheng is still practicing the Taiqing Wuji Art, the Heavenly Gang Sword Formation, the True Martial Nine Forms, and the Soul-Seeking Technique.
The system returned too many top-quality Cultivation Method for Lu Changsheng to practice, so he could only choose one from each.
Taiqing Wuji Art is the main mental cultivation method, Heavenly Gang Sword Formation is Sword Formation, True Martial Nine Forms is Swordsmanship, and Soul-Seeking Technique is Tracking Technique; each has its own use.
"After five years of teaching, the cultivation I've accumulated is enough, besides being used for body tempering, to help me break through to the Third Layer of the Void Refinement Realm."
"Besides my cultivation level, I've also killed quite a few Demon Race Rogue Cultivators in the past five years, and I've accumulated enough insights."
Before going into seclusion, Lu Changsheng sent a telepathic message to his four disciples, instructing them to Guardian.
Lu Changsheng then set up Barrier around himself to shield his aura, so as not to disturb the Peerless Great Demon deep in the Million Mountains of the Desolate Province when he broke through.
Deep within the Million Mountains, there are Peerless Great Demons at the Void Refinement Realm, some of whom possess the bloodline of High Antiquity Peerless Great Demon beasts, and even Lu Changsheng, with his current cultivation level, must retreat.
Lu Changsheng activated the Taiqing Wuji Art, and purple qi traveled a thousand miles eastward.
Lu Changsheng broke through the Primordial Chaos, continuously opening up his Inner World and raising the upper limit of his True Qi.
"Master is about to break through again."
"We are responsible for Guardian and preventing attacks from Great Demons."
Lin Qingzhi, as the Senior Brother, led his three junior brothers and sisters to stand in the four directions of the Barrier to Guardian Lu Changsheng.
Deep beneath the Million Mountains, amidst endless Earth Fire, a man with fiery red hair was absorbing the Earth Fire power to heal his injuries.
There was a shocking sword wound on his chest.
This sword wound directly injured his soul.
Four figures appeared silently.
"I never imagined that the Sword Art of that person from Shushan had reached such a profound and unfathomable level. His sword can not only cut through the physical form, but also destroy the spirit; it even injured the master's Primordial Spirit."
"If it weren't for the Ancient Cauldron's protection, the owner would already be..."
"However, he failed to kill his master; instead, he injured him, and his master will only grow stronger."
"Besides the four of us, no one else can find the master."
"Enough! Stop wasting time talking while I'm recuperating. While I'm recovering, you will work with the prince to suppress all rebellious Rogue Cultivators. Once I'm fully healed and my cultivation has advanced further, I will rule over all Great Demons, pacify Xiazhou, and unify this world!"
"Furthermore, I have deduced that some members of the Six Great Sects are tracking my whereabouts. You are to arrange for demon soldiers to patrol, and once they discover Human Race cultivators, kill them without mercy."
"Yes, sir."
Four figures departed, while the Demon Lord completely sank into the endless Earth Fire. The extremely high temperature of the Earth Fire could not harm his body; instead, it was absorbed by him.
Rumble...
The earth trembled, purple qi rose from the east, and Lu Changsheng's aura surged rapidly within the Barrier.
Lu Changsheng's Inner World underwent a complete transformation, with part of the Primordial Chaos transforming into space and his Qi Sea expanding.
"Third Layer of the Void Refinement Realm, achieved!"
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, ending his meditation, and the purple qi phenomenon vanished.
"I need to continue practicing my Swordsmanship; you may all continue your own practice."
Lu Changsheng felt that he could naturally master the final move of the True Martial Nine Forms, so he went into seclusion for a period of time.
Three days later, Lu Changsheng, at the Third Layer of the Void Refinement Realm, comprehended the final move of the True Martial Nine Forms.
The True Martial Nine Forms at their Great Perfection!
This is another perfected Heaven Stage Cultivation Method after the Ten-Thousand-Mile Tracking Technique, and it's even an Upper-Grade Heaven Stage Cultivation Method.
"Ninth Form - Rebellion!"
Lu Changsheng tested the power of the True Martial Nine Forms True Martial Sword, reversed the sword's momentum, and unleashed Sword Qi that stretched for thousands of feet. Wherever its sharpness reached, Ancient Wood were broken and rocks were shattered.
The power of the Ninth Form was too great, and the commotion it caused went beyond the Barrier's range, alarming many Great Demons in the vicinity.
"There's movement there; it might be people from the Six Great Sects tracking the Demon Lord. The Great Demon Generals have ordered that anyone who finds these people will be rewarded with Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure. As long as I confirm that they are from the Six Great Sects, I can return and report to the Great Demon Generals and receive a Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure."
Black Tiger Dao Lord appeared near this mountain forest.
He defected to a Demon General and became one of the Demon General's henchmen.
He was just going to verify the other person's identity, so it should be fine, right?
After using Qi-Concealing Talisman, Black Tiger Dao Lord approached Lu Changsheng's Barrier.
