206. The Immortal Came Riding an Eagle, Only to Be Knocked Down into the Mortal World
"Dust-Veiling Banner!"
Lu Qingfeng took out a small banner from his pocket, flicked his wrist, and the banner unfolded. It was a small banner, with a human heart drawn in the center, faintly emitting five-colored light that changed from time to time.
[Law Artifact: Dust-Veiling Banner]
[Grade: Eighth Tier]
[Note: Originally belonging to the Treasure-Form Sect, it was lost after the Treasure-Form Sect's demise. After many twists and turns, it ended up in the desolate mountains of Southern Borderlands. A protective Law Treasure. This banner possesses extraordinary power, capable of containing Mount Sumeru within a speck of dust. Whoever obtains the banner, no matter what danger they encounter, only needs to take it out; without needing to Hand Seals incantations, a mere thought is enough to travel to the ends of the earth.]
Lu Qingfeng took over the Yin Talisman Sect, expanded the Yin Talisman Sect, established the Treasure-Gathering Hall, and collected the world's most precious treasures.
This Dust-Veiling Banner is the first treasure that Treasure-Gathering Hall has collected.
"An eighth-order Law Artifact."
Lu Qingfeng held the Dust-Veiling Banner and played with it, feeling somewhat pleased.
With this Law Artifact in hand, as long as he is not targeted by celestial beings like Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun, even if Core Formation True Person or Primordial Spirit True One makes a move, Lu Qingfeng can escape at lightning speed.
In the blink of an eye, you can travel to the ends of the earth.
It is a top-notch escape treasure.
"In reality, replicating doesn't require moving too far. As long as there are thousands or tens of thousands of miles, one can escape the pursuit of Core Formation and Primordial Spirit cultivators. Even if it's only a few hundred miles, with my Technique Method, I have a chance to escape."
Lu Qingfeng gripped the Dust-Veiling Banner, a huge weight lifted from his heart.
This trip to Gathering Immortals Market provided a rare opportunity to gather all the materials needed to replicate the Dust-Veiling Banner. Once the auction concludes, we can begin the refining process.
However, materials are rare in reality.
If I could practice more in the game and ensure success in real life on my first try, that would be ideal.
"In the game—"
Lu Qingfeng shook his head, "It's just as difficult!"
This life is different from the past.
Even in the Evergreen Realm of the past, with the revival of Spiritual Qi and the emergence of Spirit Mountain and lands, various spiritual objects continued to appear, and there was no shortage of materials for refining Law Artifact.
But in this life.
In the Heavenly Shaman Realm.
The medicinal materials are of ordinary quality, and most of them are no more than a hundred years old.
The various refining materials were nothing special; they were all ordinary copper and iron ores. It seems that after Liu Ji, the Immortal of the End, severed the dragon veins and cut off the path to heaven in the Heavenly Shaman Realm, the remaining cultivators in the Heavenly Shaman Realm had been searching for and mining them clean for the past 30,000 years.
Lu Qingfeng's arrival at this time, hoping to find materials for refining Law Artifact, and in large quantities at that, is nothing short of wishful thinking.
"A second chance at life?"
The thought flashed through my mind.
Lu Qingfeng shook his head.
As the Yin Talisman Sect expands, a corner of the mystery of this world is gradually being unveiled. The Flying Bird Hall gathers intelligence from all directions, and Lu Qingfeng orders them to focus on collecting information about the 'immortals'.
Although it is a mixture of truth and falsehood.
But Lu Qingfeng was certain that there were still cultivators remaining in the Heavenly Shaman Realm.
The Heavenly Shaman Realm still has untapped potential; it would be a pity to leave now.
"Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land."
Lu Qingfeng put away the Dust-Veiling Banner, his mind filled with strange tales and legends about 'immortals', finally settling on the Golden Silkworm Divine Mountain—
According to ancient legend, Golden Silkworm Divine Mountain was once the abode of immortals. Even today, there are occasional bursts of celestial light.
While I was pondering this.
Lu Qingfeng suddenly had an idea and got up to leave the cave abode.
Looking up at the sky.
A vulture suddenly swooped in, its wings flapping and creating a powerful gust of wind that shook the rocks on Heavenly God Mountain, startled birds and beasts, and caused the grass and trees to rustle.
"Who dares to trespass on this mountain!"
A loud shout came from the mountains, and figures shot into the sky like cannonballs.
However, they were masters of the Yin Talisman Sect, such as Flying Tiger Changye.
Each of them exuded an aura of power, confronting the vulture in the sky, yet their hearts sank. The vulture's aura was far stronger than theirs.
Upon closer inspection, on the vulture's back, there was an old man dressed in a long robe with gold patterns.
The internal cultivation of Qi is subtle and its depth cannot be discerned.
However, who could be so kind as to be able to control such a raptor?
They are also the strongest among mortals, reaching the realm of Grandmaster and Great Grandmaster.
The newcomer's mount was far more powerful than theirs, so how powerful must the newcomer be?
Even Changye was only on guard at this moment, not daring to say anything that might offend anyone.
The old man in the sky had long hair and a long beard, his hands were behind his back, and his eyes looked down. He said in a clear voice, "Where is Yin Fu Guangyuan?"
The vast Yin Talisman Sect!
This person came casually.
The dignified master of the Yin Talisman Sect, the renowned Daoist Guangyuan was famous throughout the Central Plains and the Southern Borderlands, spoke of himself as if he were an ordinary mortal, casually shouting and summoning.
In Heavenly God Mountain.
One of Lu Qingfeng's supporters was furious and questioned, "Who are you? How dare you be so rude!"
Lu Qingfeng took charge of the Yin Talisman Sect, reformed its internal discipline, recruited many disciples, and bestowed upon them fortuitous opportunity. Countless disciples in the sect rose to prominence because of Lu Qingfeng, and their lives changed forever.
They naturally admired and supported the sect leader, and would not tolerate anyone slandering or insulting him.
Even if the old man is powerful.
On the contrary, Flying Tiger, Wild Song, Yan Xun and others, although promoted by Lu Qingfeng, were already leaders or high-ranking members of their respective sects, and therefore had a lower sense of belonging to the Yin Talisman Sect.
Faced with an unknown and formidable enemy, we dare not offend them rashly.
The old man stood on the back of a vulture, angrily shouting at the crowd below, his face unmoved, only glancing at Heavenly God Mountain.
A vulture flaps its wings, startling the entire mountain.
But then, deep in the back mountain, a figure appeared like a sword drawn from its sheath, and in a few flashes, arrived in the void.
With a wave of his hand, streaks of Sword Qi burst forth, shooting into all directions of the void.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Bang bang bang!
As the Sword Qi energy swept through the air, bursts of blood bloomed, accompanied by a series of soft thuds.
"Gu worms!"
On Heavenly God Mountain, everyone saw Sword Qi flash across the sky, revealing traces of Gu worms, which were then instantly obliterated by the Sword Qi. The origin of the Gu worms was self-evident.
"A treacherous villain!"
The people below were shocked and enraged, and they cursed angrily.
Obviously.
They verbally defied the old man in heaven, who remained silent but secretly cast poisonous insects to take their lives.
Kill to establish authority!
Fortunately, the sect leader saw through their scheme and intervened to kill the Gu worms, saving their lives.
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
"The sect leader is invincible!"
Lu Qingfeng's loyal supporters, their faces flushed, shouted slogans.
It was partly due to surviving Yu Sheng, partly due to gratitude, and perhaps partly due to admiration for Lu Qingfeng's powerful methods.
Lu Qingfeng destroyed the Gu worms and landed on the treetop, facing the old man in the sky from afar.
"Sect Master."
Flying Tiger and Wild Song were shocked by Lu Qingfeng's methods and hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects, hoping that the sect leader had not witnessed what had just happened and would not seek revenge later.
Lu Qingfeng nodded slightly.
These people are merely temporary replacements; their loyalty is of little consequence.
Once the new generation of members of the Yin Talisman Sect grows up, they will eventually replace them. Those who are diligent and conscientious will have a bright future and a good place to settle down. Those who are two-faced and lazy will surely regret it later.
"Yin Fu Guangyuan?"
The old man in the sky showed no anger at the killing of the Gu worms, but his gaze toward Lu Qingfeng held a hint of surprise.
"Let's talk about it when we get down!"
Lu Qingfeng didn't say anything more.
This person, at the slightest provocation, secretly used the art of Gu insects to try and kill people.
They've come with ill intentions!
Malicious!
No need for further explanation, just attack.
Lu Qingfeng waved his hand, and hundreds of iron spikes shot out from his sleeve, lining up in the air and surrounding the old man and the vulture.
"Talisman Artifact?"
"Who exactly are you?"
The old man frowned, looked at Lu Qingfeng, and asked in a deep voice. Cultivation in the Heavenly Shaman Realm has been extinct for 30,000 years. The methods of alchemy and artifact crafting have long been lost to the world, and the inheritance of various Law Artifact of refining and controlling magical Law Artifact has gradually been lost.
The moment Lu Qingfeng revealed his Sword Qi, the old man noticed something unusual.
Upon seeing the Talisman Artifact in the air, the matter was finally confirmed.
The person below is very likely a cultivator, just like him.
"Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks".
"Wind-Fire Grand Formation!"
Lu Qingfeng ignored the old man. With a thought, the 365 top-tier Talisman Artifact- grade Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks spun and arranged themselves in all directions. They grew larger with the wind, each iron talisman transforming into a towering pillar.
Evolved into the Wind-Fire Grand Formation.
These Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks were collected by Lu Qingfeng through the Yin Talisman Sect over twenty years, and only a little over four hundred of them were barely refined.
In this lifetime, he only crafted this one magical Law Artifact.
Although it is only a top-tier Talisman Artifact, with Lu Qingfeng's mastery of formations, once he sets up an array, it is not something that ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators can withstand.
As soon as the Wind-Fire Grand Formation, wind and fire surged, obscuring a section of the sky and enveloping the old man and the vulture.
"Bah!"
The vulture cried out, flapping its wings in an attempt to sweep away the wind and fire and break through the array's encirclement. However, the array was filled with fierce winds and Scattered Adept Blazing Fire flames, which it could not withstand at all, and its feathers were charred black.
The vulture cried out incessantly.
"Oops!"
The old man on the vulture's back looked powerful and arrogant, but Lu Qingfeng could tell at a glance that the old man's cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment Qi Guiding. He could still act arrogantly in front of Internal Hardness Great Grandmaster, but once he fell into the Wind-Fire Grand Formation, he would only be waiting to die.
The old man was clearly aware of the power of the Wind-Fire Grand Formation.
He formed hand seals, and black light flashed around his body, forming a protective shield of True Essence. However, under the attack of wind and fire, it was about to shatter in an instant.
The old man panicked and quickly said, "Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. I am Po Feng, an elder of the Golden Silkworm Blessed Land Immortal Breakwind from the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect Land. I have come to the Yin Talisman Sect with important matters to discuss!"
"Golden Silkworm Blessed Land".
"Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect".
Lu Qingfeng's lips curled up slightly, "It really came without any effort!"
He was just wondering where to find Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, yet he turned to these cultivators. Unexpectedly, this person actually offered himself up and was very cooperative.
"This person must have a close relationship with the Golden Silkworm Divine Mountain. He may have come to the Yin Talisman Sect to win them over. If the Yin Talisman Sect does not submit, I, as the Yin Talisman Sect leader, will be the first to be killed."
Lu Qingfeng understood perfectly.
His hands never stopped moving.
The Wind-Fire Grand Formation continued to bombard them.
"You brat!"
"This is outrageous!"
Breakwind was furious.
Just as the protective Technique Method was about to be broken, it opened its mouth and spat out two golden-skinned, silkworm-shaped Gu worms.
"Golden Silkworm Gu".
Lu Qingfeng glanced at it and guessed the origin of the Gu worm, becoming wary.
As the rumors suggested, these Gu worms were indeed fearless of water and fire, and upon appearing, they broke through the wind and fire. One of them landed on a Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks.
He opened his mouth and bit.
"Click".
Lu Qingfeng seemed to hear a soft sound beside his ear, followed by a loss of control over the Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks containing the Gu worm. This wasn't the mark Lu Qingfeng had left in the Talisman Artifact being devoured, but rather because of the Talisman Artifact—
"The Talisman Artifact is damaged!"
"I never imagined that the legendary Golden Silkworm Gu would not only be impervious to blades and spears, but also so destructive, capable of even devouring and destroying top-tier Talisman Artifact."
Lu Qingfeng was surprised, but not flustered.
With a casual wave of his hand, another Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks shot out from his sleeve, stabilizing the Wind-Fire Grand Formation that was about to break apart.
Seeing that the Golden Silkworm Gu was working and the great formation was about to break, Breakwind was about to rejoice when he saw this scene, and his face immediately darkened.
At this time.
Another Golden Silkworm Gu, Wind-Fire Grand Formation, rushed out directly.
It swept towards Lu Qingfeng.
The Golden Silkworm Gu is bizarre; aside from its potent poison, its destructive power alone is not to be underestimated.
It can even devour top-tier Talisman Artifact; what ordinary human body could withstand that?
Lu Qingfeng's expression remained unchanged.
The Golden Silkworm Gu swooped in, shimmering with Golden Light. Lu Qingfeng stretched out his hand, steam rising from it, and a chilling aura enveloped him—
"Water-Freezing Art".
Moisture from all directions condenses and turns into ice.
In the blink of an eye, a three-foot square block of ice condensed. Inside the ice, a small golden insect remained motionless.
[Technique Method: Water-Freezing Art]
[Grade: High]
[Evolving Method: Five Enhancements, Three Fusion]
[Note: The Ice Sealing Technique can freeze everything and extinguish all life.]
This method was enhanced and Fusion by Lu Qingfeng using the Mid-Grade Spell 'Extreme Ice Art'. He rarely used it, only arbitrarily developing it to enrich his repertoire. He put it aside after reaching the advanced level.
But even High-Grade Spell are by no means weak.
At this point, to deal with the unpredictable Golden Silkworm Gu, simply freeze it.
Breakwind's cultivation level was not high, and although the Golden Silkworm Gu he refined was strange, its power was limited. Frozen, it had no room to move, and even if it wanted to devour the Xuanbing like it would Talisman Artifact, it would be impossible to do so without opening its mouth.
They were subdued instantly!
At this moment, in the sky.
Within the Wind-Fire Grand Formation, another Golden Silkworm Gu was still gnawing on the Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks. In the blink of an eye, four of the Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks had already been destroyed.
The Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks were not easy to forge.
Lu Qingfeng was both repairing the formation and feeling heartbroken.
With a leap, dozens of vines sprouted wildly from the ground, reaching straight into the sky.
Lu Qingfeng reached out and subdued the remaining Golden Silkworm Gu with his Water-Freezing Art.
Then the Wind-Fire Grand Formation surged, burning the vultures within to ashes and completely Breakwind Feng's defenses, knocking him down from the sky. With a wave of his hand, the Wind-Fire Grand Formation ceased, and 365 Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks fell into Lu Qingfeng's sleeve.
Upon closer inspection.
Breakwind and fell into the air, where it was entangled and firmly bound by dozens of vines.
"So strong!"
"Is the sect leader some kind of immortal?!"
"Just now, the wind and fire in the sky, the mysterious ice in the sect leader's hand, and the vines growing wildly on the ground—could these be the legendary Immortal Method?"
This battle.
From Lu Qingfeng's appearance to the old man's Breakwind, it seemed like a long time, but in reality, it happened extremely quickly.
Lu Qingfeng landed after the old man was subdued.
The members of the Yin Talisman Sect finally realized what was happening and immediately erupted into chaos.
Everyone knew the sect leader was powerful; even Internal Hardness Great Grandmaster was no match for him. Yet, when the sect leader fought, he still used ordinary martial arts, not transcending the realm of the ordinary.
However, today...
Heavenly wind and fire!
Freeze Technique!
The vines are growing wildly!
These were remarkably similar to the legendary Immortal Method. Upon further reflection, everyone immediately understood—
"So the sect leader is actually a legendary immortal!"
In this way.
With the sect leader's strength, the rapid rise of the Yin Talisman Sect was only to be expected.
Immortals descending to earth are naturally different from ordinary people.
In a short time.
Those who admired Lu Qingfeng became even more enamored with him.
Those who had previously been unreliable in their surrender were now shocked, their expressions shifting as countless thoughts began to surface.
