One Hundred and Fifty-Two Years: The Twelfth Life!

Mystic Origin Peak.

Inside the main hall, several people stood separately.

The Venerable Master of the Pill Convergence Hall Gu Buyan.

The Venerable Zhuo Jun, Head of the Hall of Disciplinary Law.

Zhou Huayu, the chief monk of Jade Pillar Peak.

The last person was Wu Jie, the head of the Mystic Origin Sect True Person.

The four people stood apart.

Gu Buyan narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Zhuo Jun with a half-smile, and said, "Master Zhuo is truly impartial and incorruptible. My newly accepted disciple was locked up in the Profound Yin Cavern before I even had a chance to train him."

"Is this to avenge your Uncle Gai?"

"This disciple dares not."

Zhuo Jun, with his charcoal-black complexion and unsmiling demeanor, listened to Gu Buyan and shook his head, saying, "Lu Qingfeng violated the sect rules by fighting with the True Disciple of the Hall of Disciplinary Law and resisting the law. Although it was an unintentional mistake and the circumstances are minor, if he is not punished, it may be difficult to uphold the sect's rules and laws. Please, Uncle-Master, make a wise decision."

"What a high-sounding excuse!"

Gu Buyan, furious, laughed instead, staring intently at Zhuo Jun.

Beside her stood Zhou Huayu, the head of Jade Pillar Peak, a stunningly beautiful woman with an ethereal air, like Fairy Chen. She stepped forward, Gu Buyan, and said, "This matter is not the fault of Uncle-Master Zhuo. It is because I, Huayu, failed to discipline my disciple properly, and he was arrogant and domineering, which caused Lu Qingfeng to suffer. I, Huayu, will definitely give Lu Qingfeng an explanation and give my grand-uncle an explanation."

Zhou Su True Disciple Zhou Su Jade Pillar Peak.

It was a baby girl that Zhou Huayu had taken in over a hundred years ago, whom he adopted as his disciple and treated as his own daughter.

This whole affair started because of Zhou Su, and it ruined the beloved disciple of her grandmaster. In front of Gu Buyan, Zhou Huayu could only apologize profusely.

"Snort!"

"Of course we have to give an explanation!"

Gu Buyan snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and showed no respect to Zhou Huayu.

He was indeed angry.

He had finally managed to snatch a talented disciple, but before he could even get to know him, the disciple was thrown into the Profound Yin Cavern and forced to endure three years of hardship. If it were truly his fault, that would be one thing, but it was an undeserved disaster.

Moreover, the matter could have been resolved peacefully, but because he arrived a step too late, his beloved disciple was dragged into the mess by that little girl Zhou Su and was thrown into the Profound Yin Cavern by that fool Zhuo Jun.

This really made Gu Buyan so angry he jumped up and down.

The overall situation was now settled, and the sect's laws could not be violated lightly, even by the head of a hall or True Disciple of the sect.

That won't work either.

Gu Buyan knew this, so even in his anger, he didn't demand that Zhuo Jun release Lu Qingfeng. He was just venting his anger, waiting for Zhou Huayu to say those words.

Since we can't get Lu Qingfeng out of trouble, we can at least get some benefits for him, so that the three years we've suffered won't have been in vain.

"Since Junior Sister Zhou has already apologized on behalf of Zhou Su, Grandmaster Uncle, please calm down." Wu Jie spoke last, his face amiable and his voice gentle.

"All you do is try to smooth things over!"

"I'm leaving!"

Gu Buyan glanced at Wu Jie, flicked his sleeves, and strode away.

Gu Buyan held an extremely high seniority in the Mystic Origin Sect and was the only high-level Alchemist. Most of the peak leaders and hall masters had received elixirs refined by Gu Buyan.

After being reprimanded by him, no one except Zhuo Jun dared to utter a single word of dissent.

Wu Jie smiled and said to Zhou Huayu, "Grandmaster Uncle has always been like this, Junior Sister Zhou, please don't take it to heart."

"Grandmaster's admonition is correct, how could Hua Yu care?"

Zhou Huayu shook her head, clasped her hands in greeting to Wu Jie and Zhuo Jun, and said, "Senior Brother Headmaster, Senior Uncle Zhuo, I still have some matters to attend to at Jade Pillar Peak, so I will take my leave now."

With that, he turned and left.

Wu Jie watched Zhou Huayu's figure disappear before turning his gaze away.

"Master, I shall take my leave."

Zhuo Jun ignored Wu Jie's indifference, said a few words, and disappeared in a few steps.

In an instant.

Only Wu Jie remained standing in the hall.

"Foundation Establishment to Conquer the Spirit Void".

"This child—"

Wu Jie frowned slightly, pondering in his heart.

But then a Radiance appeared outside the hall. Wu Jie reached out and caught it, Radiance exploded—

"Each disciple has their own destiny; Sect Leader, please refrain from meddling!"

Wu Jie smiled wryly and looked towards the direction of Sunset Peak, "Grandmaster Uncle is overthinking it."

"Lu Qingfeng."

Zhou Su sat cross-legged on the ground, staring at Lu Qingfeng, who was leaning against the wall in front of her, her teeth clenched.

She suffered a great loss in the battle just now.

His entire body ached, already enduring the bone-scraping and soul-refining Withered Profound Yin Wind Profound Yin Cavern, and the double torment of the Nine-Yang Spirit-Sealing Chains sealing his True Essence Yangfire.

Now another layer has been added.

Zhou Su almost cried out.

Although the Profound Yin Cavern is one of the thirteen punishments of the Mystic Origin Sect and ranks last, the suffering endured there is still extraordinary.

Just looking at Lu Qingfeng.

His expression remained unchanged, as if he were in an ordinary place outside.

"Pack!"

"Let's see how long you can keep up this act."

Zhou Su gritted her teeth, defying Lu Qingfeng without uttering a sound.

It's a pity.

At this moment, Lu Qingfeng's consciousness had already entered the "Primordial World". His true body in the Yinwind Cave only had a trace of instinct to be alert outside, and could not feel any pain.

Zhou Su's body trembled uncontrollably, and she almost ground her teeth to powder.

But it was all for nothing.

In reality.

From Lu Qingfeng's departure from the Gathering Cloud Mountains to the end of the Mystic Origin Auction, and then to joining the Mystic Origin Sect and infiltrating the Profound Yin Cavern, more than three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Heavenly Shaman Realm.

Twenty-eight years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In this life, Lu Qingfeng is already fifty-two years old.

As early as twenty-eight years ago, Lu Qingfeng had already destroyed the Golden Silkworm Blessed Land and the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect. Over the past twenty-eight years, he has successively found the entrances to the remaining three Grotto-Heaven and three Blessed Land.

Or perhaps, to subdue.

Or destruction.

He gathered all the Spirit Stone from the remaining Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land in the Heavenly Shaman Realm, totaling more than six hundred pieces, enough for Lu Qingfeng to activate the Teleportation Array and leave the Heavenly Shaman Realm.

Lu Qingfeng wasn't in a hurry.

The Yin Talisman Sect continues to grow stronger.

Without the support of the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land behind them, the Yin Talisman Sect unified the Southern Borderlands and the Central Plains, becoming the overlord of the world.

With the help of the Yin Talisman Sect, Lu Qingfeng extensively refined the Truth-Destroying Type One to strengthen his control, while ordering the Yin Talisman Sect to search the world for poisonous creatures to help Lu Qingfeng refine the Golden Silkworm Gu.

The Golden Silkworm Gu is the ultimate Gu of heaven and earth. The poisons and materials required for its refinement are difficult to find, and the refinement process is extremely complex.

This is especially true in the Heavenly Shaman Realm, Age of Declining Dharma.

After nearly thirty years of searching, Lu Qingfeng, now over fifty, has only managed to collect most of the items.

Lu Qingfeng was unaware of the situation on the other side of the Teleportation Array, but he was determined to refine the Golden Silkworm Gu in the Heavenly Shaman Realm.

So we waited patiently.

He took control of the Yin Talisman Sect and collected various materials and poisons for refining the Golden Silkworm Gu.

Besides refining the Truth-Destroying Type One, Lu Qingfeng himself was also cultivating.

In terms of cultivation, due to the limitations of the universe and the lack of Foundation Establishment Pills, Lu Qingfeng could only gain some experience points and deduce some Pill Formula, weapon refining methods, and Technique Method.

Something is better than nothing.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lu Qingfeng traveled among the common people, sometimes as a merchant, sometimes as a soldier, sometimes as an official, and sometimes as an old man living in a mountain village, fishing all day long.

Comprehend the Contemplation of the Eight-Nine Calamities.

This method emphasizes the word 'enlightenment', and it is extremely profound.

Lu Qingfeng continued to comprehend, and each time he felt he had taken a step forward, he felt there was more unknown and more profound knowledge.

The first difficulty was the eight tribulations of 'Karmic Obstruction'. Lu Qingfeng quickly mastered the three tribulations of Mind Obscuration, Heaven-Shrouding, Earth-Obscuring. Each subsequent tribulation was more difficult to master and comprehend.

Thirty years.

Lu Qingfeng has grasped a sliver of the fourth tribulation, 'Spirit Severance,' which can cause the three gods within the True Spirit of mortals, cultivators, and all Spirit Birth to disappear, and those with mental obstacles to fall into the mortal realm.

Eighty years.

Lu Qingfeng saw through a trace of the True Intention of the fifth tribulation, 'Dao Shadow'. He first questioned his own Dao, and then became resolute. From then on, once it was used, all those whose Dao heart was not as strong as Lu Qingfeng's would fall into depravity. The shadow of the Great Dao would obscure their true hearts, and those who could not break through the Dao Shadow would be forever barred from the Great Dao and find it difficult to advance in their cultivation.

A hundred years later.

When Lu Qingfeng's time was up, he used all his experience points to complete the "Contemplation of the Eight-Nine Calamities," and deduced the Two Tribulations, the "Eight Emotional Stirring."

Then he died.

Between Life and Death and death, on his deathbed, Lu Qingfeng comprehended the sixth tribulation, 'Life and Death'.

Between Life and Death, there is great terror.

Having died multiple times, Lu Qingfeng had a deep understanding of this immense terror. Now, dying again brought a flood of insights into his mind, and the sixth tribulation, 'Life and Death,' became the one Lu Qingfeng had mastered most thoroughly.

At a glance, calamity descends, and those afflicted by the spell face a Life and Death choice. Whether they live or die depends on their abilities; those who can see through life and Life and Death will live.

If you can't see through it, you'll die!

After death, Chaos appears, with no heaven, no earth, no other, and no self.

Lu Qingfeng was immersed in the system, forgetting his own name and gradually forgetting the meaning of his existence, until the system notification flashed scarlet, Lu Qingfeng suddenly woke him up.

In a moment of realization.

The Seventh Tribulation Achievement—

Forgetting one's own life, forgetting the meaning of existence, and eventually even forgetting others, until all beings forget him, and he forgets all beings.

This is 'Nameless'.

From then on.

The 'Karmic Obstruction' are completed in seven kalpas, disappear in the tenth life, and begin in the eleventh life.

Sixteen years later.

Lu Qingfeng stepped out of the Rebirth Pool and found the pills and puppets he had buried in his previous life. In just four years, he achieved the True Qi Realm.

Turning back to the Yin Talisman Sect, he revealed his invincible stance.

Guangyuan, the master of the Yin Talisman Sect, has been in seclusion for twenty years. He has broken through the limits of Life and Death, regained his youth, and made a powerful comeback!

He regained control of the Yin Talisman Sect.

Continue refining the Golden Silkworm Gu.

Time passes.

Ten years.

Twenty years.

Thirty years.

Decades passed in the blink of an eye, Lu Qingfeng gained a deeper and more thorough understanding of the first difficulty of the "Contemplation of the Eight-Nine Calamities".

With all the materials for the Golden Silkworm Gu gathered, Lu Qingfeng began refining it.

Unfortunately, it failed.

More than a century of preparation has gone to waste.

Lu Qingfeng was mentally and physically devastated, and lost all hope.

All consciousness and thoughts collapsed; all perseverance and determination were bullshit. I didn't want to do anything anymore and succumbed to depravity.

To comprehend the True Intention of the Eighth Tribulation.

This is the Will Collapse '.

With his thoughts gathering and his consciousness returning, Lu Qingfeng regrouped and began Golden Silkworm Gu once more.

The Yin Talisman Sect has dominated the Heavenly Shaman Realm for over a hundred years, with its tentacles reaching deep into the Southern Borderlands, the Central Plains, the North Sea, and the Eastern Mountains, growing ever stronger and more efficient at collecting materials for Gu refining.

Upon the end of his eleventh life, Lu Qingfeng comprehended the first tribulation of the Two Tribulations in the "Contemplation of the Eight-Nine Calamities," which was about "Closest Kin."

Emotional Stirring – by Closest Kin.

The Emotional Stirring between Closest Kin relatives is called kinship. Whether they are older or younger, they may suffer the pain of life and Life and Death.

After a century, Lu Qingfeng realized that time is like water, Qingshan and Qingyu no longer by his side, his longing was so deep that his Emotional Stirring led to disaster.

His time was drawing near, and death was imminent.

Only then did he realize the truth and break free from the calamity.

At this time, with his lifespan nearing its end, Lu Qingfeng Golden Silkworm Gu for the second time.

This time, good fortune will come to pass.

Lu Qingfeng used up all his experience points to deduce the first two tribulations of the third tribulation, "Armed Conflict," in the "Contemplation of the Eight-Nine Calamities."

He died.

Karmic Obstruction — Life and Death!

Karmic Obstruction — Nameless!

Karmic Obstruction — the Will Collapse!

Going a step further.

Lu Qingfeng was reincarnated again.

This is the twelfth generation.
