Hundred Years Later, Shattered Star Sea, Rain Mountain Pavilion

In addition to the five continents, the Five Directions Realm also include the five seas.

The term "Five Seas" is a collective term referring to a boundless sea area.

Between the Southern Continent and the Central Continent lies a vast sea known as the South Sea. This expansive sea is inaccessible to anyone but those with Great Divine Ability, and thus it gave rise to several small, relatively isolated cultivation communities.

Shattered Star Sea is one of them.

"Shattered Star Sea".

"Close to the Central Continent."

Lu Qingfeng rowed a small boat toward Yushan Island, sighing inwardly, "My cultivation is too low; I'm limited in every way."

He came to the Five Directions Realm from the Heavenly Shaman Realm, intending to go to the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect to find the follow-up methods related to the Golden Silkworm Gu and save experience points.

Unexpectedly, True Person Six Paths and Heshan Way appeared out of nowhere. After finally dealing with them, a mysterious old Daoist appeared, whose cultivation had reached an unbelievable level. If Lu Qingfeng hadn't had the eighth-tier Law Artifact Dust-Veiling Banner in his hand, and the Golden Silkworm Gu using the 'Shell-Shedding Grand Art', he would have been captured by that old Daoist.

If they want to escape, their only option may be to commit suicide.

Without the 'Golden Silkworm Fate-Reversal Great Method', if Lu Qingfeng were to die, he would be unable to improve his Root Bone in a short period of time, resulting in a huge loss.

Fortunately, it's alright.

Lu Qingfeng used a portion of the Dust-Veiling Banner to refine and then left.

"I have an array to conceal myself, yet that person was still able to find me. They must have deduced from the trajectory of the Heshan-Slaying Pearl's spread."

"At this moment, I have withdrawn from the Southern Continent and come to the Shattered Star Sea, which is closer to the Central Continent. This has already obscured the secrets of heaven and left no trace. Even if Mahayana True Immortal were to take action, it would not necessarily be possible to deduce my location."

Certainly.

Even Mahayana True Immortal wouldn't have the leisure to inquire about the whereabouts of a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"That person."

"Empty Cicada Mountain."

Lu Qingfeng pondered.

Empty Cicada Mountain belongs to one of the eight hundred unorthodox sects, and it is the Empty Cicada Mountain behind Heshan Way. It's not surprising that experts from the Empty Cicada Mountain Sect would come to investigate after Lu Qingfeng used his methods to destroy Heshan Way.

"Heshan Way".

"Empty Cicada Mountain."

"The mountains are high and the rivers are far, so I will come back to settle the karmic debt after my cultivation has improved."

The Shattered Star Sea is too far from the Southern Continent.

In the short term, Lu Qingfeng had no intention of returning to the Southern Continent or going to the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect.

Too many restrictions apply to those with low cultivation levels.

The Heshan Way almost cornered Lu Qingfeng, so he should improve his cultivation first in order to benefit in the Five Directions Realm.

"The Dust-Veiling Banner is indeed useful, but the earth energy within it cannot be changed or replaced for the time being, making it too random."

Lu Qingfeng gave a wry smile.

He escaped from the white-haired old Daoist priest of Empty Cicada Mountain, and while holding the Dust-Veiling Banner, he was visualizing the Treasure-Form Sect's headquarters in the Central Plains of the Heavenly Shaman Realm. However, with only Eighth-Rank Dust-Veiling Banner, breaking through the boundary would indeed be difficult.

After figuring out that he was far away from the Southern Continent, Lu Qingfeng pressed down on Rainbow Cloud.

In a short while.

But they had already arrived at the Shattered Star Sea.

"The islands of the Shattered Star Sea are numerous, like stars scattered across the sky."

"Special terrain creates special circumstances. In the sea, most islands are independent, with sects located there. Some larger islands even have more than one sect."

"And countless Rogue Cultivator practice here."

In such places, there are numerous methods and approaches.

Gaining more experience will also benefit Lu Qingfeng's cultivation in reality.

So after finding out the details, they set their goal—

Yushan Island.

"Yushan Island is both a mountain and an island. The Yushan Island is rich in Spiritual Qi and has a large Spirit Stone mine, which contains thirteen Yin-Baleful Acupoint Eyes, attracting the Hollow Bamboo Sect, the Hundred Ghosts Gate and the Five Peaks Sect to fight over it."

"The three sects refused to yield to each other, but in the end, the territory was occupied by thirteen rogue cultivators from the surrounding area."

"To become a Rogue Cultivator."

When Lu Qingfeng arrived at Yushan Island, a junior cultivator led the way and introduced Lu Qingfeng.

Recalling the information he had gathered about Yushan Island before coming here, Lu Qingfeng nodded.

There are three major factions surrounding Yushan Island, all of which belong to the unorthodox sects. Yushan Island is located in the middle, serving as a buffer zone.

Over time, although it was rather loosely organized, it became the fourth largest power in this region, Hollow Bamboo Sect, the Hundred Ghosts Gate, and the Five Peaks Sect did not dare to underestimate it.

Lu Qingfeng arrived on the island and found it bustling with people.

We still need to find a place to settle down.

Yushan Island is a melting pot of all sorts of people, yet it is strangely governed by thirteen rogue cultivators, maintaining order amidst the chaos. Including Yushan Island, dozens of surrounding islands, large and small, are occupied by rogue cultivators and minor sects.

However, it is also a buffer zone between Yushan Island and the three major sects.

"First, I'll go to the market and buy a shop to earn cultivation resources and build a reputation. Once my cultivation reaches the Core Formation Stage, I'll explore the Shattered Star Sea and travel across the five continents and five seas."

Lu Qingfeng was already familiar with this process.

Back in the Chiyan Realm, in Panlong Mountain, everything was peaceful. Unfortunately, he only made one move before being killed by the Demon King Hunshan.

This time, Lu Qingfeng's background is even stronger when he comes to Yushan Island.

With the Dust-Veiling Banner and the Golden Silkworm Gu in hand, one's ability to protect oneself is greatly enhanced.

As long as he can reach the Core Formation Stage safely and smoothly, even if the white-haired old man comes again, Lu Qingfeng is confident that he can escape calmly and without being in a sorry state.

"Take this humble Daoist to the market."

Lu Qingfeng looked at the young cultivator and said.

This young man was named Zhao Bei, and his cultivation level was only at the Embryonic Breath Realm. Countless cultivators came and went from Yushan Island, and many, like Lu Qingfeng who was visiting for the first time, needed a young man like Zhao Bei to guide them.

It introduces Yushan Island, including its layout, shops, various rules, and more.

When Lu Qingfeng saw this young man, he couldn't help but think of Han Lin, whom he had met at Panlong Mountain in the Chiyan Realm.

That was exactly the situation when I first met Han Lin.

Unfortunately, Han Lin was unlucky and eventually died of old age in a foreign land.

"Yes."

Unaware of Lu Qingfeng's thoughts, Zhao Bei respectfully led the way and introduced Lu Qingfeng to the island's markets.

"On Yushan Island, there are eight markets in total, all of which are nominally owned by the thirteen True Person. Few people dare to cause trouble in the markets. However, Yushan Island is quite large, and the thirteen True Person are too busy with their cultivation to manage every aspect in detail."

"Therefore, the eight markets are managed by specialized monks, and there are often underhanded struggles and intrigues."

Therefore.

There is also a set of rules on the island that are chaotic yet orderly, and orderly yet chaotic.

Lu Qingfeng still needs to familiarize himself with these things.

Time passes.

A century has passed in the blink of an eye.

The Bamboo Mountain Sect collapsed seven thousand years ago.

The Bamboo Mountain Sea Shattered Star Sea were plunged into bloodshed and chaos.

The Hollow Bamboo Sect, the Hundred Ghosts Gate, and the Five Peaks Sect each inherited the Bamboo Mountain Sect, dividing the Bamboo Mountain Sea into three parts.

However, conflicts have continued for many years, and even the True Person of the sect have intervened.

The thirteen True Person of Yushan Island were no pushovers either; they stirred up trouble and maneuvered effortlessly between the three sects.

In recent years.

There's a sense that a storm is brewing.

In Qiantian Market on Yushan Island, there is a place called 'Rain Mountain Pavilion', which is pronounced the same as Yushan Island but written differently.

Rain Mountain Pavilion appeared in Qiantian Market a hundred years ago. Its owner, Qing Yuanzi, is skilled in both alchemy and weapon crafting, and has made Rain Mountain Pavilion thrive.

In just a century, it has spread to Yushan Island.

Qing Yuanzi is exceptionally skilled in alchemy and weapon crafting, and he is also kind-hearted and enjoys making friends with cultivators from all over the world, making him very popular.

Rain Mountain Pavilion has faced several crises, but it was always with the help of cultivators from all directions that it was able to overcome them.

Even the few Core Formation True Person on the island had some connection with Qing Yuanzi.

After that, no one dared to target Qing Yuanzi or Rain Mountain Pavilion.

This day.

A young cultivator entered Rain Mountain Pavilion, and the pavilion's manager immediately stepped forward upon seeing him.

"Don't be so polite."

Is your master here?

Lu Jiang pointed behind the shopkeeper and asked directly.

"In the backyard."

"I will inform Senior Lu immediately."

The shopkeeper responded.

This person is no ordinary individual; he is a direct disciple of Qinglian True Person, one of the thirteen True Person on Yushan Island. Not only is his background extremely prestigious, but his cultivation has also already reached the Spirit Void Divine Silence Realm, making him quite powerful.

Among the several True Person who were on good terms with their own Pavilion Master was Qinglian True Person, and it was all thanks to the person in front of them who acted as a matchmaker.

The shopkeeper dared not delay and immediately went to report.

The backyard of the Rain Mountain Pavilion.

Lu Qingfeng, dressed in a long blue robe, sat cross-legged in meditation.

A lamp floated in front of him, its flame flickering slightly.

As the True Essence circulates, the lamps move accordingly, accelerating the refining of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from all directions, speeding up the circulation of the True Essence, and tempering its quality.

It is the Luofu Heart Lamp!

After cultivating the "Luofu Sword Canon" and advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm, one can visualize and gather the Luofu Heart Lamp Heart Lamp Law Artifact that combines cultivation and combat.

The one in front of Lu Qingfeng is it.

After years of refinement, it has reached the fifth level, which can greatly improve the speed of cultivation.

Whoosh!

Boom boom boom!

The True Essence circulates within the meridians, like a great river rushing and roaring into mountains.

The four Cultivation Method operated simultaneously without interfering with each other. Even with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi divided among them, it was still insufficient. Lu Qingfeng also held two Spirit Stones in his hands, continuously absorbing their Spiritual Qi for cultivation.

The exercise is complete.

"After the Fusion Realm, every step became increasingly difficult."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

His cultivation experience was mostly in the Spirit Void Divine Silence and Divine Silence Realm before. He was quite unfamiliar with the Fusion Realm, which is after Core Formation.

It has an immediate effect on spiritual practice.

Even though Lu Qingfeng had already cultivated to the level of True Person, his progress in the Fusion Realm was still slow.

"Really."

"One must repeatedly cultivate a certain level of skill to achieve mastery. Then, one can continue to cultivate in real life, making rapid and unstoppable progress."

Lu Qingfeng pondered for a moment, then reached out and the Luofu Heart Lamp fell into his palm. Following the True Essence, it came to his Dantian and settled there, the lamp flame trembling slightly as it continuously refined the True Essence.

At this moment.

A voice came from outside, "Reporting to the Pavilion Master, Lu Jiang, a disciple of True Qinglian True Person, requests an audience."

"What wind blew today, bringing Brother Lu here?"

Lu Qingfeng greeted Lu Jiang in the backyard, laughing heartily.

A century has passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Qingfeng transformed into Qing Yuanzi and established Rain Mountain Pavilion, which became quite famous throughout the Bamboo Mountain Sea.

With his dual identity as a fifth-tier Alchemist and a fifth-tier weapon refiner, even a Core Formation Core Formation True Person would show him some respect.

His cultivation level had unknowingly reached the Spirit Void Fusion Realm.

It is a level above Lu Jiang.

It has to be said.

After improving Root Bone, one's cultivation progresses rapidly.

When Lu Qingfeng first arrived at the Five Directions Realm, he had just broken through to the True Qi Realm.

In just 136 years, he rose directly from the True Qi Realm to the Spirit Void Fusion Realm.

In fact, Lu Qingfeng has been at the Spirit Void Fusion Realm for forty years now.

It is at least 30-40% better than before, saving nearly 70 years of hard work.

The limitations that Root Bone imposes on cultivators in the early stages are terrifyingly severe.
