Third Holy Master, Divine Fusion with Heaven and Earth!

"Um?"

Seeing that his sword energy had actually been blocked, Lu Qing raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

He looked in the direction from which the sword energy had come and saw a White Figure that had appeared on a rooftop not far away.

It was a young-looking White-Clothed Man with snow-white hair.

He stood with his hands behind his back, yet his aura was very restrained, just like an ordinary person.

But no one dared to treat him as an ordinary person. To be able to conceal his aura to such an extent, to deceive the senses of all the powerful people, and to silently ascend to the roof, he could not possibly be an ordinary person.

Even more astonishingly, upon recognizing the White-Clothed Man, some exclaimed in surprise, "The Third Holy Master!"

"What? This is the Holy Lord?"

"Sure enough, I knew it. With such a commotion in the city, how could the three Holy Lords not be alarmed?"

"It seems that Master Xuan Ming is going to escape this calamity."

"With the Third Holy Master making a move, and given his consistent hatred of evil, this young man is likely to be in trouble."

Among the powerful onlookers, many had met the three Holy Lords on the Holy Mountain before, and they immediately recognized him.

In the shadowy corner, the Dark Shadow felt another jolt, a look of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes. "This guy is one of the three Holy Lords, but something seems off about him?"

"Why has the Third Holy Master come?"

High up in the tower, the Master of Heaven's Secret Pavilion was equally astonished when he saw the White Figure.

At the same time, a worry arose in his heart. "Among the three Holy Lords, the Third Holy Master acts more forcefully. Young Master Lu should not offend him."

Even with his worries, the Master of Heaven's Secret Pavilion dared not send a telepathic message to Lu Qing.

Although he was at the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm, he was only one step away from the Perfect Realm, and he had considerable experience in cultivating the Divine Soul Power.

However, even within the Holy City, which is suppressed by an invisible force, it is still beyond their capabilities to Divine Sense Transmission across a hundred feet.

Moreover, the three holy masters possessed unfathomable levels of attainment, and each time he met them, he felt he could hardly catch up with them.

Even if he uses Divine Sense Transmission, it will not escape the notice of the Third Holy Master.

"Holy Lord?" Upon hearing this, Lu Qing's heart stirred slightly.

Is this one of the three mysterious and unpredictable Holy Lords on the Holy Mountain? Just then, in his vision, golden Supernatural Ability light emanated from the White-Clothed Man, and several notes slowly appeared.

Bai Qingfeng: The Third Holy Master of the Holy Mountain, with a strong and assertive personality.

[Cultivation Level: Foundation Establishment Peak. Due to a fortuitous encounter, he gained the approval of the Holy Mountain Will, resulting in a significant increase in strength within the Holy Mountain's territory, comparable to Golden Core.]

The person before me is not my true self, but Puppet Avatar possessed by my soul, capable of unleashing the power of Innate Realm Completion.

Although the three Holy Lords of the Holy Mountain have gained the approval of the Holy Mountain Will and received great fortune, they are also subject to constraints. Before attaining enlightenment and ascending to immortality, their physical bodies are unable to leave the Holy Mountain region.

"Puppet Avatar?"

After reading the note in his field of vision, Lu Qing understood.

No wonder even he didn't notice the White-Clothed Man's arrival immediately; it turned out that the person in front of him was not a living person, but a Puppet Avatar.

Given the opponent's Foundation Establishment Peak soul realm, concealing their aura would be effortless.

Lu Qing also had some understanding of the Puppet Avatar.

There are relevant records in the lineage of the Li Fire Sect.

In the previous Cultivation Era, there was a sect called the Heaven Puppet Sect, which was most skilled in this art.

It is said that the Puppet Avatar they meticulously crafted were not only indistinguishable from real people, but the highest-level ones could even cultivate on their own, which was truly miraculous.

However, Puppet Avatar capable of autonomous cultivation is extremely precious, even rarer than Spirit Artifact.

Even the Heaven Puppet Sect back then could only forge one.

Moreover, it is said that the Puppet Avatar was accidentally created by the Heaven Puppet Sect by chance.

Later, they devoted all their efforts and tried every possible means to refine it again, but they never succeeded.

The Puppet Avatar that the Third Holy Master has taken over is clearly not the highest-level masterpiece of the Heaven Puppet Sect, but rather some kind of standardized Puppet Avatar.

"Greetings, Third Holy Master!"

After confirming that the visitor was indeed the Holy Lord, all the Innate Expert bowed in respect.

The surviving monks of the Hanging Sky Mountain shouted even louder, "Your Majesty, this man is Evil Demon! Kill him at once!"

However, the Third Holy Master ignored everyone's greetings and disregarded the shouts of the monks from Hanging Sky Mountain, instead looking at Lu Qing.

He said calmly, "Give me some face and let Xuan Ming and the others off this time, how about it?"

Everyone immediately looked at Lu Qing.

The Third Holy Master himself pleaded for mercy; it remains to be seen how this young man will respond.

A hint of joy appeared in Xuan Ming's eyes.

"Is the Holy Lord going to interfere in my feud with Hanging Sky Mountain? It is said that the Holy Mountain only cares about the general trend of the world and never interferes in other people's private grudges."

Could this just be empty talk?

Lu Qing did not answer immediately, but instead asked a question.

Everyone stared at Lu Qing in astonishment, seemingly surprised that he would dare to question the Third Holy Master in public.

"Broken!"

Upon hearing Lu Qing's words, the Master of Heaven's Secret Pavilion, who was atop the tower, immediately became anxious.

The Third Holy Master is strong-willed and always keeps his word.

Lu Qing's questioning of him in this way will surely provoke his resentment.

Just as the Master of Heaven's Secret Pavilion was getting anxious.

He noticed that the Third Holy Master remained silent for a moment in the face of Lu Qing's questioning.

He then said, "I once owed a favor to the Abbot of Hanging Sky Mountain. I can't bear to see Xuan Ming die here. If you can give me this face, I will consider this favor as something I owe you."

The Third Holy Master's attitude surprised not only the Martial Artist.

This greatly surprised even someone like the Master of Heaven's Secret Pavilion who knew his personality so well.

When did this person become so easy to talk to?

Is this still the same Third Holy Master they know, the one with the upright and unyielding temperament?

All eyes turned to Lu Qing once again.

They had all witnessed Lu Qing's domineering and arrogant behavior.

The Third Holy Master is now adopting such a humble posture.

They wanted to see if this young man would actually give them the face they were looking for.

Despite the gazes of numerous powerful figures, Lu Qing remained unmoved.

"It seems that the Holy Lord is determined to intervene in the feud between me and Hanging Sky Mountain?"

"I'm doing this for your own good. Although your talent is amazing, the depth of the Hanging Sky Mountain is beyond your imagination."

If you make them your mortal enemies, you will definitely regret it in the future.

The Third Holy Master offered his advice.

However, Lu Qing laughed upon hearing this, "What, does the Holy Lord think that the enmity I have formed with Hanging Sky Mountain is not yet deadly?"

The Third Holy Master glanced at the corpses of the Elder from the Hanging Sky Mountain around him and paused for a moment.

Looking at the smile on Lu Qing's face, he understood. "So, there's no room for discussion?"

"I respect the Holy Lord, but I also hope that the Holy Lord can uphold the Holy Mountain's position and not interfere in the grievances between me and Hanging Sky Mountain," Lu Qing said earnestly.

The surrounding experts at the Innate Realm all stared blankly at Lu Qing.

Although I was surprised by his answer, it also felt strangely expected.

Given Lu Qing's consistently tough stance, it would seem abnormal for him to compromise.

The Third Holy Master looked at Lu Qing quietly, his expression finally turning cold. "What if I insist on taking them away?"

"Then this junior is not very talented, so I can only ask to learn from the Holy Lord's high skills."

Lu Qing gently waved his hand, and his true energy surged out, the air currents swirling and drawing the War Blade stuck in the ground towards him.

"This junior is also eager to see just how powerful a master of the Innate Perfection truly is."

With the long sword in hand, an incomparably powerful aura immediately emanated from Lu Qing.

The chilling Saber Intent caused all the Innate Expert to feel a stinging pain on their skin and a chill in their hearts.

They were shocked and terrified.

It seems that Lu Qing's aura is much stronger than before.

"As expected, it has come to this."

The Master of Heaven's Secret Pavilion Mystery sighed; his premonition had indeed come true.

The Third Holy Master was a strong-willed person, but in his view, Lu Qing's personality was also extremely stubborn.

It's no wonder these two clash when they get together.

"Senior, that White-Clothed Man seems quite formidable. Will Brother Lu Qing be at a disadvantage?"

"I can't believe it Ma Gu asked anxiously.

The others also looked worried.

"Don't worry, although the Third Holy Master has a strong personality, he is upright. At most, he will only make Young Master Lu suffer a little, but he won't harm his life."

The Master of Heaven's Secret Pavilion comforted them.

"You want to fight me?" The Third Holy Master was somewhat surprised.

"I would be grateful for your guidance, senior."

The Third Holy Master sensed the fighting spirit emanating from Lu Qing and remained silent for a moment.

He then said, "Very well, it seems I can't take the person away without fighting you."

However, I'm not used to bullying the weak. How about this, I'll spar with you for three moves.

If you can force me to take even half a step back within three moves, I will no longer concern myself with this matter.

After saying that, his figure disappeared on the rooftop. When he reappeared, he was already blocking the way for Xuan Ming, only three zhang away from Lu Qing.

"Then please forgive me for offending you!"

Upon seeing the Third Holy Master land, Lu Qing's eyes narrowed, and his right-hand War Blade suddenly transformed into a ball of white light, unleashing countless strikes in an instant.

A storm of sword energy swept towards the Third Holy Master.

Its sword energy was so violent and swift that it made all the experts at the Innate Realm change color.

"Interesting. Your swordsmanship has reached a level where you have truly grasped the essence of [Intent]."

Seeing the storm of sword energy unleashed by Lu Qing, the Third Holy Master's eyes revealed approval.

"However, such tactics are useless against me."

Faced with the sweeping storm of sword energy, the Third Holy Master did not even draw his weapon.

He simply extended a finger and gently moved it forward a little.

And as the Third Holy Master pointed out this, something astonishing happened.

The countless sword energies unleashed by Lu Qing seemed to be frozen in space, unable to advance an inch.

"Disperse!"

After freezing the sword energy, the Third Holy Master softly uttered a single word.

The next moment, the storm of sword energy that filled the sky was swept away by an invisible wave, quickly dissipated, and finally disappeared completely.

This move immediately astonished everyone present.

All the Innate Realm experts who witnessed this scene widened their eyes, almost unable to believe their eyes.

They never expected that Lu Qing's powerful sword aura storm would be so easily neutralized by the Third Holy Master.

They couldn't even figure out what methods the Third Holy Master had used.

Seeing the Third Holy Master's relaxed demeanor, all the powerful figures couldn't help but feel awe.

This is the Holy Lord, the Lord of the Holy Mountain, whose power has shaken the world for thousands of years and who commands the awe of countless sects! Only a few people from secret places with extensive knowledge can discern even a trace of the mystery within.

"His Divine Fusion with Heaven and Earth, and his domain is formed in its own right. Indeed, the cultivation level of the Third Holy Master is beyond the comprehension of gods and demons!"

Taoist Yang Ming was amazed as he watched the Third Holy Master effortlessly dispel the sword energy unleashed by Lu Qing.

"The cultivation of the Third Holy Master, Divine Fusion with Heaven and Earth, has actually reached such a level?"

No wonder Master always speaks of these three Holy Mountain Lords with admiration.

The Eldest Brother of the Cloud Water Secret Realm also looked shocked.

In the shadows, a dark figure trembled slightly. "Divine Fusion with Heaven and Earth, how can this guy's divine soul realm be so high? Isn't it just that his Spirit Artifact has just been revived?"

"Domain?"

Lu Qing was not surprised to see his sword energy easily broken by the Third Holy Master.

In a battle between masters, sword and saber energy are not the most important means of attack.

He never expected that he could force the Third Holy Master to retreat with just a single sword energy storm.

Instead, he looked at the dissipated sword energy and became thoughtful.

Although the methods used by the other party were profound, he felt a sense of familiarity with them.

This is the feeling I get when my master unleashes his Innate Domain.

However, the other party's application of the domain is far more skillful than that of his master.

This allowed him to effortlessly and without any trace of hostility completely neutralize his sword energy.

"What, do you want to continue?"

After the Third Holy Master dispersed Lu Qing's sword energy, he did not continue to attack. Instead, he stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly.

"Of course, it's a rare opportunity to spar with such a top expert as a senior, how could I give up so easily?" Lu Qing said with a smile.

"Then go ahead and make your move, but this time, I won't hold back like this."

Seeing that Lu Qing was still unwilling to give up, the Third Holy Master finally felt a little impatient.

"Senior, please make your move. I am quite skilled at self-preservation."

Lu Qing, however, paid no attention and lightly twirled the long sword in his hand.

The next moment, he had already shattered the earth, his figure like a bolt of lightning, rushing towards the Third Holy Master.

A chilling aura emanated from him, soaring into the sky, and the War Blade in his hand slashed towards the Third Holy Master like a bolt of lightning.

Faced with Lu Qing's swift and fierce strike, the Third Holy Master's expression finally changed slightly.

He could sense that the power of Lu Qing's strike was no less than that of a true master at the peak of the Innate Realm Completion.

With just that one move, it would be difficult to easily block this strike again. After all, the Divine Soul Power he poured into this Puppet Avatar was limited.

Even if they could use the Divine Fusion with Heaven and Earth technique, their Divine Soul Power was insufficient, making it difficult to restrain Lu Qing.

Realizing this, the Third Holy Master's gaze became more serious.

A long sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
