With all sorts of magical powers at his disposal, and array flags and Law Artifact in hand, Lu Qingfeng dared to fight even Core Formation True Person.
At this moment, with such overwhelming power, he felt completely at ease.
Even the once invincible Changfengzi could hardly withstand such a celestial array. Chang Qi, Technique Method was sparse and whose only skill was controlling insects, was even more helpless, like a clay chicken or a clay dog!
Less than fifteen minutes—
"Ah!"
A scream came from within the formation. Lu Qingfeng waved his hand to dispel the immortal formation, and the twelve divine flags and three thousand six hundred Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks flew back and landed in his sleeve.
The area where the formation was located was scorched black by the Scattered Adept Blazing Fire, but Chang Qi was nowhere to be seen in the center.
Only a small purple bell fell to the ground, completely undamaged.
"Violet Insect Bell".
"This should be the magical Law Artifact bestowed by the Patriarch of the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain Plague-Driving Essence-Slaying Thunder General."
Lu Qingfeng stepped forward and picked up the small bell. Recalling the words he had overheard while monitoring Chang Qi a few days ago, he knew that the bell was called the 'Violet Insect Bell'. Chang Qi's skills in raising insects largely depended on this bell.
Otherwise, neither cultivating nor taming spirit insects can be accomplished in a short time.
The Violet Insect Bell is of paramount importance.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Upon obtaining the Violet Insect Bell, it immediately struggled and cried out, trying to break through the air and fly away.
Lu Qingfeng gripped it tightly, saying urgently, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Chang Qi harbored murderous intentions towards me. Killing Chang Qi was truly out of necessity. I am only keeping this bell safe for you. I will return it to Seven Insect Immortal Mountain in thirty years, so that the lineage of Seven Insect Immortal Mountain may not be lost!"
The Violet Insect Bell holds extraordinary significance for the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain lineage. For Lu Qingfeng, if he could analyze it and refine it in reality, cultivating Ironfire Ants would be a divine aid.
Naturally, he did not want to be taken away by the Plague-Driving Essence-Slaying Thunder General.
In an instant, he uttered the words he had prepared long ago. Violet Insect Bell struggled for a moment, but finally fell silent.
"Thank you, God!"
Lu Qingfeng was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
He immediately grabbed the Violet Insect Bell and left the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain.
Not long after Lu Qingfeng left, a group of cultivators rushed into the insect nest, only to find it devastated by the Scattered Adept Blazing Fire. Chang Qi's figure had long since disappeared.
[Law Artifact: Violet Insect Bell]
[Grade: Eighth Tier]
[Description: This is a magical Law Artifact passed down from the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain, Law Artifact of the insect path. Plague-Driving Essence-Slaying Thunder General from the Upper Realm. It can accelerate the growth of spiritual insects and control them.]
"Violet Insect Bell".
Lu Qingfeng held the Violet Insect Bell, a smile appearing on his face.
Another eighth-tier Law Artifact has been acquired.
This Law Artifact is similar to the Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks in his hand, and has special effects.
The Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks is a magical Law Artifact used for setting up formations. If it falls into the hands of a cultivator who is not familiar with formations, it will be of little use.
Back then, Lu Qingfeng used this as a prize, Changfengzi was quite reluctant, precisely because of this.
Although the Violet Insect Bell is not a magic Law Artifact of the array method, it is a magic Law Artifact crafted by the insect-controlling lineage to accelerate the maturation and enslave of spirit insects.
Chang Qi was able to quickly cultivate dozens of spirit insects only because he possessed the Violet Insect Bell. He had immense ambitions, hoping to dominate the world and achieve absolute power after success. Unfortunately, he was targeted by Lu Qingfeng while still in a period of dormancy.
Ultimately, he died and his soul vanished.
A Reincarnated True Immortal, all his fortuitous opportunity were wasted, and he ended up with the same fate as Changfengzi.
As for the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain Patriarch, Plague-Driving Essence-Slaying Thunder General—
"This Thunder General, like the Wind and Windfire Primordial Lord, is clearly bound by some kind of restriction or agreement, and cannot attack the lower realm. He can only take away the magical Law Artifact bestowed upon him."
"But once the Law Artifact is taken back, the lower realm Law Artifact, and will immediately be at a disadvantage. I set a limit of thirty years, and once the time limit is up, I will return the Violet Insect Bell to the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain, which is obviously exactly what the Seven Insect Ancestor wanted."
Lu Qingfeng pondered.
Through the two Law Artifacts, the Twin Windfire Pearls and the Violet Insect Bell, Lu Qingfeng managed to uncover some of the secrets of these immortals and gods from the upper realm.
Currently, these immortals and gods value their reputation and prioritize inheritance, and there are also secret agreements or restrictions that prohibit them from directly interfering in the affairs of the Evergreen Realm.
In this way, he will be able to do more things in the Evergreen Realm.
Ordinary cultivators might worry that if they go too far in the Evergreen Realm, their past mistakes will be brought up when they ascend to the Upper Realm.
Lu Qingfeng, however, was not afraid.
With his aptitude, it's not certain that he can cultivate to the True Immortal realm in the Evergreen Realm, let alone ascend to the Upper Realm.
In the next life, I will no longer be in the Evergreen Realm.
In the vast mortal realm, how could a mere Thunder Ministry God find the reincarnation of Lu Qingfeng?
Therefore.
After figuring out the limitations imposed on the immortals and gods of the upper realm, Lu Qingfeng was freed from his shackles.
No more scruples.
As for the patriarch of the Upper Realm of the God-Seeking Abbey—
"Although the ancestor's rank is not high, he is still a general of a region and must have powerful backers. The Windfire Primordial Lord, the Plague-Driving Essence-Slaying Thunder General, and others are unlikely to hold a grudge against the ancestor over a mere conflict in the lower realm. Even if they are narrow-minded and truly harbor resentment, the powerful backers behind the ancestor would surely not ignore him."
Lu Qingfeng's mind raced, and he suddenly smiled again.
He's just a lowly mortal cultivator in the lower realm, yet he dares to worry about the patriarchs of the upper realm—truly overestimating himself. Perhaps whatever troubles rage in the lower realm are merely fodder for gossip among these immortals and gods.
It's only because he was involved that he thought it was serious.
Shaking his head, Lu Qingfeng tried to stop thinking about these things.
"The Violet Insect Bell alone is not enough."
After storing the Violet Insect Bell in his Storage Bag, Lu Qingfeng traveled dozens of miles away from Seven Insect Immortal Mountain. He then summoned 129,600 Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks to form a flying boat, which carried him slowly towards the gate of Seven Insect Immortal Mountain.
The Violet Insect Bell was an unexpected delight.
Lu Qingfeng's purpose in coming here was to learn the insect-controlling techniques of the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain.
There are no secrets that stay hidden forever.
Thirty-two years ago, after killing Changfengzi, the Spirit-Seeking Guangyuan, had been in seclusion at General Ridge. However, after thirty-two years, his reappearance shocked the world.
"The Seven Insect Immortal Mountain Chang Qi?"
"This Chang Qi was extraordinary. Although he wasn't among the first batch of True Immortal to descend to the mortal realm, he was among the first batch to awaken his True Immortal Past-Life Wisdom. His methods of controlling spirit insects were unrefined, but they were quite skillful. Yet he was killed by Guangyuanzi?"
The Six-Eyed Heavenly Gate.
A look of surprise appeared on Lin Chao's face.
Yuyangzi frowned and said, "It is indeed strange."
"Between the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain and the God-Seeking Abbey, there is still the Zheng Kingdom and my Six-Eyed Heavenly Gate, and they have never had any connection. There is no interaction between Spirit-Seeking Guangyuan and Chang Qi of the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain."
"According to news from the Dragon River, less than an hour before Guangyuanzi went to the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain to pay his respects, Chang Qi was killed in the insect cave. There were traces of burning Scattered Adept Blazing Fire in the insect cave, which were exactly the same as the Dutian Blazing Fire Immortal Formation that Guangyuanzi set up Changfengzi. With these two things combined, it is certain that Guangyuanzi was the one who made the move."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chao's expression turned strange. "Less than an hour after killing Chang Qi, he went to pay respects at the mountain? It seems that Guangyuanzi didn't even bother to hide it!"
"Good."
"Guangyuanzi paid homage to the mountain, seeking the Secret Method of controlling insects from the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain. Carrying the fierce power of killing Chang Qi, the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain dared not disobey and handed over the Secret Method directly."
"Guangyuanzi then left."
When Yuyangzi mentioned this, he couldn't help but recall the scene when Lu Qingfeng came to his door to seek his teachings and seize them.
Although I did not witness Lu Qingfeng's actions at Seven Insect Immortal Mountain, I could imagine them from just a few words.
My house is out of power. It's strange that my building is the only one in the whole neighborhood that keeps having power outages.
I'm typing away at an internet cafe now. Should I play a game of PUBG after I finish typing?
