Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles!

Before Lu Qingfeng was promoted, he truly did not know.

With his improved Root Bone and the various realms he had honed to perfection before reaching the Spirit Void Fusion Realm, Lu Qingfeng's cultivation was advancing at a Heaven-Soaring speed.

This saved Lu Qingfeng a lot of time.

"Brother Qingyuan is joking."

"I have come here today on behalf of my master to invite Brother Qingyuan to his cave abode for a chat."

Lu Jiang and Lu Qingfeng were acquainted, so he didn't mince words and got straight to the point.

"Oh?"

"I wonder what important matter Senior Sikong has that requires Brother Lu to make this trip in person."

Lu Qingfeng looked puzzled.

The real name of Qinglian True Person is Sikong Qinglian.

After Lu Qingfeng's alchemy skills reached the fifth level, many True Person came to him seeking his alchemy services, including the Qinglian True Person.

We had some kind of relationship.

"I don't know."

"Master only asked me to invite Brother Qingyuan, without explaining the reason."

Lu Jiang shook his head.

"So mysterious?"

Lu Qingfeng smiled outwardly, but inwardly he was speculating as he followed Lu Jiang toward one of the branches of Yu Mountain.

Yushan Island is located at the border with the Five Peaks Sect.

White clouds stretch for thousands of miles.

Above the sky.

"Senior Sikong, the area further ahead is under the control of the Five Peaks Sect."

Lu Qingfeng stood on white clouds, looking at the crimson island in front of him, then turned to look at a beautiful woman beside him.

The beautiful woman was dressed in a blue dress, her hair was tied up in a bun, and she held a whisk in her hand.

It was none other than the Azure Qinglian True Person — Sikong Qinglian.

As one of the thirteen True Person of Yushan Island, he is one of the most renowned, most skilled, and highest-ranking Rogue Cultivator in the entire Bamboo Mountain Sea.

Having advanced to the Core Formation for 680 years, he not only possesses profound cultivation, but his magical Law Artifact, the 'Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles,' is also extremely famous, making the True Person of the Hollow Bamboo Sect and the other two sects quite wary of him.

More than ten years ago.

Sikong Qinglian once entrusted Lu Qingfeng to refine a batch of fifth-grade Haoyuan Pill, so they could be considered to have some relationship.

Yesterday, Lu Qingfeng went to Sikong Qinglian's cave abode with Lu Jiang and learned that Sikong Qinglian had discovered the ruins of a cave abode. However, the cave abode was Guardian by an array, and Sikong Qinglian was not familiar with array formations and was worried that forcibly breaking the array would cause accidents.

So he asked Lu Qingfeng to go with him.

As a fifth-tier weapon-refining master, Lu Qingfeng's skill in formations is naturally remarkable. Perhaps he can break through the cave abode's formation and directly enter the cave abode to obtain the relics.

They set off from Yushan Island, but unexpectedly headed straight for the territory of the Five Peaks Sect.

Although Yushan Island is not as irreconcilably opposed to the Five Peaks Sect, Hollow Bamboo Sect, and Hundred Ghosts Gate as the three sects, there have been many conflicts between them, and they can hardly be called friendly.

Such a hasty entry may attract attention.

"Don't worry, Rain Mountain Pavilion, I was prepared long ago."

Sikong Qinglian, without a smile, reached out and tore through the void, taking out two robes from them.

One of them was given to Lu Qingfeng.

"This is--"

Lu Qingfeng took the robe, his eyes flashing with Radiance as he discerned its attributes.

[Law Artifact: Void-Concealing Robe]

[Grade: Tier 3]

[Note: This ability can conceal one's form and aura; it cannot be detected by those below the Core Formation.]

"Void-Concealing Robe".

"This is a magical Law Artifact that I acquired in my early years. With it as a cover, as long as I don't run into the Five Peaks Sect True Person, I can ensure that no one will notice."

Sikong Qinglian, thinking that Lu Qingfeng was unaware, spoke up to explain.

"My darling."

Lu Qingfeng clutched the Void-Concealing Robe, which he was wearing. Looking to his side, he saw that Sikong Qinglian had also donned the robe and vanished instantly. However, Lu Qingfeng's Spirit Eye could still faintly sense Sikong Qinglian's presence.

If one were to directly activate the 'Grand Luo Insight', the mere third-tier Void-Concealing Robe would certainly not escape Lu Qingfeng's discerning eye.

However, it is difficult for ordinary Spirit Void Cultivator to detect.

The robe was extremely easy to refine. When Lu Qingfeng put it on, he refined twenty-seven Earthly Fiend Restriction with a single burst of True Essence.

Wrapped in their robes, the two continued deeper into the cave.

"How could Sikong Qinglian have discovered cave abode within the territory under the jurisdiction of the Five Peaks Sect?"

As Lu Qingfeng hurried along, he was also pondering the matter.

He remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was on guard. "On Yushan Island, Fire Crow Daoist and Water-Walking True Person Path are both skilled in formations and are no weaker than fifth-order weapon refiners. Yet Sikong Qinglian specifically sought out me, who is ostensibly just Spirit Void Alchemist and weapon refiner."

Lu Qingfeng didn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on.

However, one is under someone else's roof.

In addition, Lu Qingfeng was also curious about what kind of cave abode Sikong Qinglian had found that warranted such caution, so he did not refuse.

Otherwise, with his current cultivation and strength, he wouldn't dare say he could defeat a Core Formation True Person, but at least he would be completely fearless and able to advance and retreat freely.

They could directly refuse without fear of Sikong Qinglian getting angry and turning against them.

So he decided to follow along to see what Sikong Qinglian was really up to.

After flying over numerous islands for about two or three thousand miles, Sikong Qinglian signaled Lu Qingfeng to stop. She then descended to an island below.

"This is the place."

Sikong Qinglian lifted her robe, revealing her figure.

Lu Qingfeng, who was standing nearby, also put away his robe and handed it to Sikong Qinglian.

"Keep Rain Mountain Pavilion."

"One thing is enough for this humble Daoist."

Sikong Qinglian shook her head and did not take it. A mere Third-Rank Dharma Artifact Law Artifact, especially one of such an unusual kind, was of little use to her. Having lent it to Lu Qingfeng, she had no intention of taking it back.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng smiled and put his robe away, saying, "Thank you, Senior Sikong."

There was still some regret that he hadn't been able to analyze the method for crafting the Void-Concealing Robe in such a short time. Since Sikong Qinglian was being so generous, Lu Qingfeng naturally wouldn't refuse.

Accept it calmly.

"Is the cave abode you mentioned on this island?" Lu Qingfeng put away his robes and finally had a chance to examine the island closely.

The island's Spiritual Qi had waned, with barren mountains and rocks scattered everywhere, shrouded in a thin mist. The air was filled with a nauseating stench, as if from thousands of dead fish.

Such a harsh environment makes it uninhabitable, not even by birds or beasts, let alone cultivators.

"Good."

Sikong Qinglian nodded.

Looking around and seeing no one in sight, he waved his hand and released a burst of True Essence. Suddenly, a passage appeared in front of him, leading directly underground to an unknown location.

"Follow me, Daoist."

Sikong Qinglian led the way, stepping into the passage first.

Lu Qingfeng followed closely behind.

The passage was straight, like a ladder to heaven plunging into the ground. After descending for about a thousand feet, the view suddenly opened up before us.

"It's a completely different world."

Lu Qingfeng looked before him and saw a vast space that stretched for thousands of feet and reached a height of hundreds of feet. Below, magma flowed, making gurgling sounds. Within the magma, stone pillars stood, seemingly supporting the space.

Upon closer inspection.

Island emerged from the lava, with stone tables, benches, beds, and futons on them, clearly a place for cultivators to practice and cave abode.

"This is the place."

Sikong Qinglian pointed ahead and flicked her finger, releasing a burst of True Essence. Immediately, the stone pillars in the magma glowed, enveloping the entire cave space.

As the seasons change and the world transforms, so too does the universe shift and change.

Before them roared a fiery dragon, and five blazing suns shone brightly in the sky, radiating intense heat.

"What an exquisite formation."

Lu Qingfeng looked at the roaring fire dragon, then at the blazing sun in the sky, and praised it.

"Is it possible to break through?"

Sikong Qinglian asked the question.

"This formation—"

"It's not difficult."

Lu Qingfeng looked very confident.

Upon hearing this, Sikong Qinglian breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you for your help Rain Mountain Pavilion."

"Of course."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head and focused on breaking the formation.

This formation appears mysterious, and even for a Core Formation Core Formation True Person like Sikong Qinglian, who is unfamiliar with formations, it is quite troublesome. If one were to forcefully break the formation, it might be possible, but the commotion would be immense and uncontrollable.

But for Lu Qingfeng, it was simple.

The Grand Luo Insight swept across the formation and immediately saw its flaws.

Ultimately, with the passage of time, the formation, though seemingly accumulating greater and greater power, actually developed significant flaws due to absorbing too much magma and earth fire energy.

After pretending to probe for half an hour, Lu Qingfeng 'finally' found a flaw and pointed to a spot, saying to Sikong Qinglian, "Attack this spot with all your might, and the formation will be broken immediately."

"Good!"

Sikong Qinglian agreed, and with a flick of her whisk, it instantly transformed into countless divine lights and silver needles, sweeping out like Celestial River and surging towards the direction Lu Qingfeng pointed.

"What a magnificent Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles!"

Lu Qingfeng, who was standing nearby, looked on with admiration.

[Law Artifact: Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles]

[Grade: Rank 6]

[Note: One of the Seven Treasures of the Bamboo Mountain Sect. Once an enemy is enveloped by the azure light and silver needles emitted by this treasure, a combination of metal and wood elemental Law Power, the surrounding area becomes as heavy as a mountain. Within, countless celestial needles are impenetrable. No matter how wondrous the defensive Law Treasure, the slightest opening will allow for its penetration. Even a wisp of azure light, or a needle as thin as a cow's hair flying in through an opening, will be simultaneously affected by the overwhelming Yimu Divine Radiance and the countless silver needles formed from the Gengjin Essence. Attacked from both inside and outside, the light layer is instantly shattered, dispersing the enemy's magical light, pulverizing them into blood rain, leaving no trace of their body.]

This Law Artifact, this whisk, is precisely what Qinglian True Person relied on to gain fame and dominate the Pearl Mountain Sea.

It was originally a treasure of the Bamboo Mountain Sect. After the Bamboo Mountain Sect was destroyed, the seven treasures were lost and various teachings were scattered in all directions.

The Five Peaks Sect, the Hollow Bamboo Sect, and the Hundred Ghosts Gate are unorthodox immortal sects that rose to prominence after obtaining some of the Bamboo Mountain Sect.

The whisk in Sikong Qinglian's hand was none other than the Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles, one of the Seven Treasures of the Bamboo Mountain Sect. With this Law Artifact, Sikong Qinglian was an outstanding figure even among Core Formation True Person.

Lu Qingfeng had only heard of this treasure before, but after seeing it today, he realized it was indeed incredibly powerful.

While looking around.

The Silver River Way surges down like a torrent.

Rumble!

The Five-Yang Formation could not withstand the pressure and vanished with a 'poof' like bubbles in water.

"It's done."

Even the usually stern Sikong Qinglian showed a hint of joy in his eyes. With a flick of his whisk, he sped off towards the lava island.

Lu Qingfeng stood to the side, not moving.

In the magma.

As the formation was broken, a supreme yang sword rose into the air, surrounded by a hundred stone pillars. With the appearance of the supreme yang sword, the stone pillars also emitted light, and talismans flickered, like dragons and snakes.

A chilling Sword Qi flashed.

"This is--"

Lu Qingfeng's Spirit Eye swept over it, revealing a hint of surprise.

Five-Yang Sword.

The Hundred-Sword Diagram.

Lu Qingfeng's mind stirred, and he looked at Sikong Qinglian. But in that glance, he saw countless divine lights and silver needles surging towards him, threatening to engulf him.

"What are you doing, Senior Sikong!"

Lu Qingfeng sneered inwardly and shouted aloud.
