The Fifth Bonus Update!

Lu Qingfeng leaped down, and the Five-Colored Phoenix landed beside him.

Looking ahead, I saw quite a few familiar faces.

"Fellow Daoists, it's been a long time."

Lu Qingfeng cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and smiled.

"..."

Everyone looked at Lu Qingfeng and fell silent for a moment.

Fifty or sixty years ago, when Lu Qingfeng first arrived in the Evergreen Realm, relying on his superior cultivation, he traveled through the seven kingdoms and wandered through one Spirit Mountain after another, cleverly seizing many true techniques.

Fights were commonplace.

Even after sixty years, thinking about it now still makes me feel ashamed.

Lu Qingfeng didn't care about the others' expressions.

Of the many cultivators present, besides Guanlanzi and others, he had visited most of those who had occupied Spirit Mountain and established their own sects over the past sixty years.

There's a bad relationship between them.

Some of them have pretty good relationships.

Unfortunately, looking around, he found that none of the people gathered outside General Ridge had a friendly relationship with him.

"You are Guangyuanzi?"

Seeing that Guanlanzi and the others were indifferent, Lu Qingfeng was about to step forward to catch up with them when he suddenly heard someone speaking to him and turned around to look.

A young Daoist priest dressed in a Daoist robe stood on a nearby hilltop, his face indifferent, seemingly unaffected by Lu Qingfeng's fame.

"And this fellow Daoist is—"

Lu Qingfeng looked at this person.

"Changfengzi of Fire-Wind Abbey on Nine Palaces Mountain".

Changfengzi replied calmly.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Changfeng. I've heard so much about you."

Lu Qingfeng looked at Changfengzi and smiled, "I have long heard that Fellow Daoist Changfeng came all the way from the north, flattening dozens of Spirit Mountain and suppressing the immortal sects of various countries. Seeing you today, you are indeed unparalleled in your style."

These words were spoken.

Many of the cultivators present immediately turned pale.

That's really pointing fingers and exposing my shortcomings.

While what he said was indeed true, it was not a pleasant way to put it. They also knew that this head of the God-Seeking Abbey was not someone to be trifled with, and he was probably holding a grudge against being ignored earlier, which was why he slapped them in the face.

"Fellow Daoist Guangyuan, you flatter me. Changfeng is merely exchanging skills with you fellow Daoists. I came to General Ridge this time because I heard that Spirit-Seeking Guangyuan's Technique Method is unparalleled and he is known as the 'The World’s Number One Immortal,' so I came here to learn from him."

Changfengzi got straight to the point in a few words.

He stood tall and possessed an otherworldly air, quite different from ordinary cultivators.

Lu Qingfeng scanned the area with his Spirit Eye, discerning the cultivation level, and immediately laughed, "Of course, of course, I'm just about to learn the wondrous methods of the Fire-Wind Abbey Miaofa."

"Please."

With his hands behind his back and his long hair flying, Changfengzi let Lu Qingfeng make the first move.

"No rush, no rush."

"A few exchanges are certainly acceptable. However, it's a rare occasion for the world's top cultivators to gather here today, so how about we set up a prize?"

Lu Qingfeng looked around and then asked Changfengzi.

"If Fellow Daoist Guangyuan has such an elegant interest, wouldn't it be a shame for Changfeng to refuse?" Changfengzi said leisurely, his eyes as calm as still water. "Ordinary prizes are utterly uninteresting. I have a pair of Fire-Wind Pearl, of considerable quality. Would Fellow Daoist Guangyuan be satisfied with these as the prize?"

"The Twin Windfire Pearls?!"

"This--"

"Isn't this prize a bit too big!"

"The ancestral master of the upper realm bestowed upon us Law Artifact, which is extremely rare. If Changfengzi loses, he will be unable to fight against enemies in the future Law Artifact, and his strength will likely be greatly reduced."

"Changfengzi is confident in his own strength. With a great battle imminent, he must strike first before Guangyuanzi and maintain his overwhelming momentum!"

Changfengzi reached out, and the Twin Windfire Pearls spun in his palm.

One is a red pearl.

One is a green pearl.

These are the Twin Windfire Pearls bestowed by the founder of the Fire-Wind Abbey.

Everyone was taken aback when they saw that the stakes were so high.

If they win, all will be well; but if they lose, even if Changfengzi is a reincarnated True Immortal, his strength will be greatly diminished.

Certainly.

If Lu Qingfeng were to gamble against him, he would have to bring out an equivalent Law Artifact. His own Law Artifact might also be able to win against Changfengzi.

Although it was not Life and Death- or- Life and Death struggle, it surpassed one.

"That suits me perfectly!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng inwardly laughed and praised, but outwardly he smiled lightly and said, "The Twin Windfire Pearls are a good omen. This humble Daoist has nothing of value, only a set of Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks bestowed by the Ancestral Master. I wonder if it may serve as a prize for this battle?"

As he spoke, Lu Qingfeng flipped his hand, and 129,600 iron skewers gathered in his palm, forming a disc.

Nothing special.

It was the Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks.

"Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks?"

Upon hearing this, Changfengzi frowned slightly.

"Ha ha!"

"True Immortal Changfeng is going to suffer a setback this time."

Seeing Lu Qingfeng take out the Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks, Lin Chao immediately laughed and transmitted his voice to Sima Han.

Sima Han's expression remained icy and unwavering.

However, a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes as he looked at Changfengzi.

"How?"

"Fellow Daoist Changfeng, do you look down on my magical Law Artifact?"

Seeing that Changfengzi remained silent, Lu Qingfeng immediately said, "This set of Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks was bestowed by the Ancestral Master and is an eighth-order Law Artifact with unfathomable power. I did not expect that Fellow Daoist Changfeng would not even be interested in such a magic Law Artifact. Very well, let's drop the matter of the prize."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head, making a gesture to put away the Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks.

The surrounding cultivators were puzzled.

Some thought Changfengzi truly looked down on the Search God Magic Law Artifact, while others felt that Changfengzi was backing down at the last minute, seeing Lu Qingfeng's decisiveness but not daring to gamble.

For a moment, all around was completely silent.

Most of them were moving their lips, clearly communicating with each other telepathically, and it was unclear what they were discussing.

Seeing this, Changfengzi said calmly, "Changfengzi has no such intention. The prize for this battle is the Fire-Wind Pearl and the Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks. Whoever loses will hand over the Law Artifact."

"Good."

Lu Qingfeng clapped his hands in response, but inwardly he found it amusing.

Upon seeing the Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks, Changfengzi clearly recognized its origin. What use would a magic Law Artifact of the array arts be to a cultivator who knew nothing of arrays?

It's not even as practical as a regular second or third-tier Law Artifact.

But the words were already out in the open.

He took out the Fire-Wind Pearl, Lu Qingfeng took out the Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks; both were magical Law Artifact bestowed by the ancestors of the upper realm. Although there was a difference in their quality, their values were not significantly different.

Lu Qingfeng took it out. If Changfengzi was unwilling, outsiders would not know the truth.

It's truly a case of being caught in a dilemma.

I had no choice but to agree.

"This Changfengzi seems to have awakened his Past-Life Wisdom. So early, his foundation must be quite impressive. However, judging from his words and actions—"

Lu Qingfeng looked at Changfengzi.

Changfengzi was able to recognize the Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks, which clearly indicates that he has memories of his past life.

However, judging from his words and actions, he was far different from Mahayana True Immortal. He didn't seem like True Immortal who had lived for over ten thousand years; instead, he seemed like an ordinary cultivator with some personality flaws.

"Could it be that the drawbacks of not yet fully awakening to Past-Life Wisdom?"

Lu Qingfeng knew very little about the reincarnation of True Immortal and was not very familiar with it.

But the current situation is clearly in his favor.

"Fellow Daoist Guangyuan, please."

Changfengzi spoke again, signaling Lu Qingfeng to make the first move.

This must be the True Immortal.

"Good."

Lu Qingfeng chuckled.

Stepping forward, he rubbed his hands together, and instantly a bolt of lightning appeared in Lu Qingfeng's grasp.

His body was filled with powerful True Essence, and layers of talismans flickered.

In the flashes of lightning, like dragons and snakes dancing, it transformed in an instant into a Purgatory. Purgatory, like a mountain abyss, like a deep sea, gave rise to Myriad Manifestations in the universe—

It crashed down!
