Azure Lotus Fairy's Identity! (4K)

The Blood Sea Hall was mining Heavenly Meteoric Iron on Meteoric Iron Island, and a considerable amount of Heavenly Meteoric Iron had not yet been taken away and fell into Lu Changsheng's hands. These Artifact Refining materials amounted to at least 10 billion catties.

"Could this be Star River Sand?"

Lu Changsheng grabbed a handful of deep blue sandstone, which resembled a silver river, from among the ore piled up in the Blood Sea Hall. Even with his physique, he couldn't crush the sandstone no matter how hard he tried.

Star River Sand is a famous material for Artifact Refining. It is said to have come from the core of a broken star, which fell from the Void into the Three Realms and formed Star River Sand.

Some Dao Artifacts also use Star River Sand as a material.

The name Meteoric Iron Island is inextricably linked to the Star River Sand.

"The Blood Sea Hall is collecting so much Star River Sand mostly to refine Law Treasures for attacking the various Holy Lands of the Immortal Realm."

Lu Changsheng already knew that the Blood Sea Hall was collecting resources all over the Immortal Realm, and its purpose was very clear.

All 10 billion catties of Artifact Refining materials went to Lu Changsheng, including 2 billion catties of Star River Sand.

Two billion catties sounds like a lot, but Star River Sand, Artifact Refining material of this caliber, has an extremely high density and doesn't seem like much. A piece of Star River Sand the size of a fingernail would weigh a million catties.

If I were to bestow Star River Sand upon my disciple, what kind of reward would the system offer?

These Star River Sand are enough to reward you for a while.

The next step is to interrogate the Blood Demon Ancestor and find out what happened back then.

The Blood Demon Ancestor, captured alive by the Shushan people, knew he could not escape death and his face turned deathly pale. "Kill me."

His hands are stained with the blood of countless Shushan Disciples. When he was in the Lower Realm, he almost destroyed Shushan. The Reincarnation Hall he established fought against Shushan for 300,000 years before being destroyed by Lu Changsheng and Taiyuan True Person.

Daoist Yuxuan, a figure from the same era as the Blood Demon Ancestor, harbored an intense hatred for the Blood Demon Ancestor, wishing he could grind him to dust.

"Blood Demon Ancestor, if you obediently answer my questions, I may release you."

After Lu Changsheng took possession of the ore from the Blood Sea Hall, he walked over.

Like a drowning man grasping at a last straw, the Blood Demon Ancestor, the once infamous Great Demon, immediately begged for mercy, "If you spare my life, I'll answer all your questions!"

"Changsheng!"

Daoist Yuxuan couldn't understand why Lu Changsheng would let this Great Demon go.

Even the True Person Tai Ling and the Tai Xu True Person expressed their bewilderment.

"I'm only letting him go this time. If I capture him alive next time, he'll be useless. If I don't do this, he's going to die anyway, and he'll never reveal the information we want. He might even self-destruct."

Hearing Lu Changsheng say this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

With Lu Changsheng's current cultivation level, the Blood Demon Ancestor poses almost no threat to him; he can capture him alive every time he encounters him.

Find out what happened back then; that's the most important thing.

Now that the Blood Demon Ancestor has agreed to exchange information for his life, Lu Changsheng can ask his questions.

Lu Changsheng considered asking the first question, which was about the origin of the Azure Lotus Fairy, the Ninth-Generation Sect Master of the Shushan, who had frightened the Blood Demon Ancestor into Ascension to Tribulation Transcendence ahead of schedule.

Azure Lotus Fairy was Daoist Yuxuan's master, and Ascension Tribulation Transcendence thousands of years earlier than Daoist Yuxuan. Theoretically, as long as Azure Lotus Fairy was still alive, she would have already made a name for herself in the immortal Immortal Realm.

However, Lu Changsheng had never heard of the whereabouts of Azure Lotus Fairy, the Ninth-Generation Sect Master of the Shushan, in the Immortal Realm.

Do you know where my master is now after Ascension the Immortal Realm?

Daoist Yuxuan almost immediately mentioned the Blood Demon Ancestor, eager to know the whereabouts of his master who had guided his cultivation back then.

The Blood Demon Ancestor, however, displayed a strange and unnatural expression, as if he had seen a ghost.

Um?

Lu Changsheng didn't understand why the Blood Demon Ancestor had such an expression.

This question shouldn't be difficult for the Blood Demon Ancestor to answer.

Not long after the Blood Demon Ancestor Tribulation Transcendence to Ascension, the Azure Lotus Fairy also Ascension to Tribulation Transcendence. If the Blood Demon Ancestor saw the Azure Lotus Fairy in the Immortal Realm, he should answer truthfully.

You can answer as usual even if you've never seen the Azure Lotus Fairy.

"If you don't speak now, I'll kill you."

Daoist Yuxuan concentrated his True Qi in his right palm, making a move to kill the Blood Demon Ancestor.

Unexpectedly, the Blood Demon Ancestor coldly snorted, "Kill me or torture me, it's up to you. There's no need to toy with me."

It feels like there's some misunderstanding involved.

Lu Changsheng said, "Tell me the truth. I said I'd let you off this time, and I will. I will never go back on my word."

"Master, I don't think he'll tell the truth unless he's taught a lesson."

Lu Qinglian waved her little fists, ready to give the Blood Demon Ancestor a good beating.

Unexpectedly, the Blood Demon Ancestor's expression became even stranger. "Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know? The Ninth Sect Master of Shushan, Qinglian, is that little brat beside you."

"What?!"

Everyone turned to look at Lu Qinglian, who was watching the spectacle. Lu Qinglian was the Ninth Sect Master of the Shushan, the legendary Azure Lotus Fairy?

Lu Qinglian, who was waving her fists to threaten the Blood Demon Ancestor, was completely stunned.

How did I end up getting caught up in the gossip myself?

Tai Xu True Person said sternly, "Blood Demon Ancestor, don't assume they're the same person just because they share the same name. She was a disciple recruited by Changsheng. I watched her grow up in the Rear Mountains of Shushan. How could she possibly be the Azure Lotus Fairy from the same era as you? If you don't tell the truth and try to deceive us, don't blame us for being impolite."

"That's right. Although the Spacetime Principle can trace back through Spacetime, they absolutely cannot go back a million years. She couldn't possibly be the Ninth-Generation Sect Master of the Shushan."

Qingxia Immortal Maiden also thought this matter was too far-fetched, and that the Blood Demon Ancestor was more likely to be lying.

How could she possibly be my master?

Daoist Yuxuan was even more enraged.

Although he had lost some of his memories, the master he imagined should be Divine Maiden with Immortal Bearing and dignified demeanor, how could she possibly be a brute who fights and kills...

The Blood Demon Ancestor snorted coldly, "Although I am not a righteous person, this matter concerns my life, so there is no need for me to lie. Back then, this brat suddenly appeared and beat me up, forcing me to undergo my Tribulation Transcendence and Ascension ahead of schedule to avoid his sharp edge. How could I possibly mistake him for someone else?"

"..."

When the Shushan people saw that the Blood Demon Ancestor openly admitted that Lu Qinglian had once beaten him up, they fell silent for a moment.

Could Lu Qinglian really be the Ninth Sect Master of the Shushan?

This matter is becoming increasingly confusing.

Lu Changsheng originally thought that capturing the Blood Demon Ancestor alive would solve some of the mysteries about Shushan from back then, but things only got stranger and stranger.

Lu Qinglian was his adopted Disciple since childhood. It was impossible for her to Resurrection from the Dead like Yun Qianyue, nor was she a Buddhist Sect had been reincarnated.

Then there's only one possibility.

Lu Changsheng transmitted his voice to his youngest Disciple Yun Qianyue, asking, "Back when you were in the Heavenly Sect, did you ever hear of Cultivation Method that allowed one to travel against the flow of time?"

Although Yun Qianyue is his Disciple, in High Antiquity times, Yun Qianyue was the Chief Grand Disciple of the super sword cultivator Holy Land "Heavenly Sect". With her status, she must know a lot of secrets of the Three Realms.

Yun Qianyue fell into reminiscence. "Back then, I did hear my master mention the great Divine Ability of Spacetime. Some people who had just died could even be brought Resurrection from the Dead through Spacetime travel. But to go back millions of years, which is equivalent to fighting against all the karmic Cause and Effect that occurred over millions of years, is basically impossible. My master couldn't do it. He once said that even the Primordial Human Race Emperors couldn't do it. Otherwise, they would have already traveled back in Spacetime and eliminated any powerful threats that grew up."

Indeed, Spacetime paradoxes also exist in the cultivation world.

If Great Expert could travel through Spacetime, then both sides would desperately try to return to the past, wanting to kill each other before the other grows stronger, and the Three Realms would have long been in chaos.

This makes it even more bizarre.

How did Lu Qinglian appear in the era of the Blood Demon Ancestor, brutally beat Blood Demon Ancestor, and force him to flee to the Immortal Realm Blood Demon Ancestor Realm so early?

"If that's all you wanted to ask, then I've answered your questions. May I leave now?"

The Blood Demon Ancestor thought that Lu Changsheng and the others were going to interrogate him about the Blood Sea Hall, but he didn't expect them to only ask about the identity of the Azure Lotus Fairy from back then.

What happened back then was quite simple: the Blood Demon Ancestor had mastered Devil Cultivation Method arts, established the Reincarnation Hall, and was at odds with the righteous leader of the Shushan sect at the time.

The Blood Demon Ancestor, relying on his Devil Cultivation Method, killed a large number of Elders and disciples of Shushan, causing widespread panic in Xiazhou.

Later, a female disciple of Shushan named Qinglian suddenly appeared, becoming the number one genius of Shushan succeeding as the Ninth Sect Master. She repeatedly beat Ascension the Blood Demon Ancestor Blood Demon Ancestor, who quickly Tribulation Transcendence and ascended to the Immortal Realm. After that, he never saw Azure Lotus Fairy again, until...

"Wait, you can't leave yet. I didn't say I was only going to ask one question."

Lu Changsheng's offer to spare the Blood Demon Ancestor came with far more complex conditions than that.

Now that we've captured the Blood Demon Ancestor, let's ask him some more questions about the Blood Sea Hall.

Although the mysteries of the Lower Realm remain unsolved, they have little impact on the present. The threat of the Blood Sea Hall, however, is right before our eyes. "Where is the Blood Sea Hall's Main Altar located?"

The Blood Demon Ancestor's expression changed; Lu Changsheng was indeed going to ask him about the Blood Sea Hall: "Given my status, I am not qualified to know the location of the Main Altar."

"Then tell me all the locations of the Branch Halls that you know."

Lu Changsheng observed the changes in the Blood Demon Ancestor's expression and knew that the Blood Demon Ancestor was not lying. Given the Blood Demon Ancestor's status in the Blood Sea Hall, he really had no right to know the location of the Blood Sea Hall's Main Altar.

The Blood Demon Ancestor took a deep breath, knowing that if he spoke out, he would be in big trouble when he returned to the Blood Sea Hall, but if he didn't speak out, he wouldn't be able to get past this hurdle.

"As far as I know, there are thirteen Branch Halls."

Everyone was startled.

Good heavens, the Blood Sea Hall is truly ambitious. They have Branch Hall all over the Blood Sea Hall Immortal Realm, secretly collecting all sorts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

The Blood Sea Hall Elders at the level of Blood Demon Ancestor alone knew of at least thirteen Blood Sea Hall Branch Hall, and the number of the Blood Sea Hall strongholds hidden in the shadows was countless.

"One Branch Hall is in the Heartless Forest, Branch Hall in the Poison Dragon Pool, and Branch Hall in the Heaven-Asking Valley... Telling you this will bring me considerable trouble later, tantamount to taking half my life. It's time for me to leave."

Who is the master of the Blood Sea Hall? And who are its Guardian?

Lu Changsheng wanted to squeeze every last drop of value out of the Blood Demon Ancestor, so he simply demanded that he reveal all the information about the Blood Sea Hall.

"I don't know who the Palace Master is either. I only know that he is one of the Remote Antiquity powerhouses. The various Guardian are either Traitors to the various Holy Lands, or Demons wanted by the Holy Lands, or even wanted criminals exiled by the Heavenly Court..."

Under Lu Changsheng's threat, the Blood Demon Ancestor had no choice but to reveal everything he knew.

Suddenly, Lu Changsheng placed his hand on the top of the Blood Demon Ancestor's head, attempting to forcibly read his Divine Sense.

"You!"

The Blood Demon Ancestor's eyes widened, and he was about to accuse Lu Changsheng, but his eyes lost their luster.

I need to verify what you're saying.

Lu Changsheng didn't completely trust Great Demon like the Blood Demon Ancestor; forcibly reading his Divine Sense was the best course of action.

Although doing so would damage the foundation of the Blood Demon Ancestor, Lu Changsheng only promised to spare his life, but could not guarantee its complete preservation.

Daoist Taixu asked, "Changsheng, is what he said true? Especially regarding the matter of our Ninth Sect Master of Shushan?"

Lu Changsheng's expression gradually turned solemn. In the Blood Demon Ancestor's Sea of Consciousness, he saw the Azure Lotus Fairy who had fought against the Blood Demon Ancestor back then, who bore a striking resemblance to Lu Qinglian: "He wasn't lying."

"How... how is this possible...?"

Daoist Yuxuan was dumbfounded.

If this is true, then wouldn't Daoist Yuxuan have to address Lu Qinglian as his master?

But his master from back then was of a lower generation than him, so how could he possibly ask for permission?

"Regarding the Blood Sea Hall, the Blood Demon Ancestor knows only limited information. Guardian of Song Tianfang's level might know more about the Blood Sea Hall's inner workings."

Lu Changsheng finished reading the Blood Demon Ancestor's Divine Sense; the Blood Demon Ancestor was no longer of any use to him.

"My memories have been shattered, and you actually forcibly searched my Divine Sense!"

The Blood Demon Ancestor was furious; this was practically equivalent to having his browsing history completely exposed.

Moreover, forcibly searching one's Divine Sense will cause irreversible damage to it.

"Get lost. I'll let you off this time as agreed, but I won't be so polite next time we meet."

Lu Changsheng unleashed a burst of True Qi, directly blasting the Blood Demon Ancestor away, showing him no respect whatsoever.

"Damn it, I won't let you get away with this!"

The Blood Demon Ancestor gritted his teeth, but his body betrayed him and he fled.

Save your life first.

"Changsheng, what should we do next?"

Tai Xu True Person was also unsure of what to do next.

The mysteries of the Lower Realm remain unsolved; Lu Changsheng has yet to find the mastermind behind sending several Earth Immortals Lower Realm to kill him.

"This matter is temporarily settled. As long as we cultivate to a certain level, the truth will come to light sooner or later."

The Blood Demon Ancestor revealed everything he knew, and the trail ended there. To continue the investigation, the only way was to find the people from that time again.

Lu Changsheng's annihilation of this Blood Sea Hall Branch Hall was not without its gains; he obtained at least 10 billion catties of Artifact Refining. This amount of materials was enough to train a Disciple into an Artifact Refining Grandmaster.

"I think it was just a coincidence that I named her Lu Qinglian back then?"

Lu Changsheng was somewhat unsure of Lu Qinglian's background.

Never mind, I'll go back and give my Disciple Artifact Refining materials to calm his nerves.
