A Blood Sea Rages, the Asura Killing Field!

Yushan Island.

Sikong Qinglian and Lu Qingfeng returned together. Lu Qingfeng left to focus on refining the Five-Yang Sword. Sikong Qinglian summoned the other twelve True Person from Yushan Island to announce the appearance of the Five-Yang Sword and to discuss the opening of the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion Abode.

Both Yushan Island and Five Peaks Sect are prepared to open the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion soon.

However, after returning to Yushan Island, Lu Qingfeng, who wielded the Five-Yang Sword, disappeared without a trace.

Time keeps passing.

One year.

Two years.

Three years.

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

"Could it be that Qing Yuanzi died out there?!"

Yushan Island.

The Fire Crow Fire Crow Daoist robe, had eyes that blazed with fire and was quite irritable.

He was the same Fire Crow Daoist who, when Sikong Qinglian was Yushan Island, told Lu Qingfeng that he would act as a go-between to exchange the Fire Crow Dao Soldiers for the Five-Yang Sword.

Beside him, Sikong Qinglian sat cross-legged with the two men, exchanged a glance, and showed a helpless expression on her face.

Twenty-four years ago, preparations were made to conquer the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion, but twenty-four years later, Lu Qingfeng, one of the main figures, has yet to be found.

One should press on with full force, but the momentum wanes with each attempt, and exhausts itself with each subsequent one!

Everyone's morale was almost completely worn down.

If the Five-Yang Sword hadn't yet appeared, it would be fine, since without all Six Treasures of Bamboo Mountain, the Immortal Mansion couldn't be opened. But the Five-Yang Sword has clearly appeared, we know who has it, and we've even agreed to open the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion together.

But both the person and the treasure simply vanished!

How can anyone not be furious?!

True Person Fire Crow looked at Sikong Qinglian, "Has Fellow Daoist Sikong been able to contact Qing Yuanzi?"

"Never."

Sikong Qinglian shook her head.

She had been searching for Lu Qingfeng all these years, but the Rain Mountain Pavilion seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.

"Fellow Daoist Sikong is most familiar with Qing Yuanzi. In your opinion, why did Qing Yuanzi disappear?" A middle-aged cultivator in a blue robe couldn't help but ask from the side.

This man had bright blue eyes and possessed an aura as vast as the Ocean; he was one of the Thirteen True Person of Yushan Island.

Water-Walking True Person!

The Water-Walking True Person was as famous as the Fire Crow Daoist.

Both were rogue cultivators, one practicing water magic and the other fire magic. One cultivated fire crow soldiers, with three thousand fire crow soldiers roaming the Bamboo Mountain Sea, while the other cultivated water soldiers, transforming shrimp soldiers and crab generals, making him invincible across the waters.

They are all prominent figures in the Bamboo Mountain Sea.

"I really don't know."

Sikong Qinglian smiled bitterly and said, "I only Qing Yuanzi is cautious by nature. He has been on Yushan Island for many years and has always been kind to people. He has never revealed his cultivation or array skills outside of alchemy and weapon crafting. It was only with the emergence of the Five-Yang Sword that I was able to witness his true strength. His combat power is no less than that of Core Formation True Person."

"In that case, after refining the Five-Yang Sword, one can officially join Yushan Island and fight against the Five Peaks Sect, Hollow Bamboo Sect, and Hundred Ghosts Gate together, and open the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion."

"What—"

The Water-Walking True Person frowned slightly.

"The Five-Yang Sword must have been refined."

"But Qing Yuanzi is so cautious, I'm afraid he might want to improve his cultivation, which is why he showed up to open the Immortal Mansion with us."

"Cultivation at the Spirit Void Stage is far faster than that at the Core Formation stage."

"Qing Yuanzi's mastery of formations is undeniable. If his cultivation level improves further, both his combat ability and his ability to survive will see significant progress."

Sikong Qinglian shook her head.

Considering Lu Qingfeng's nonchalant demeanor, not even caring about the Hundred-Sword Diagram, it's hard to say how much attraction the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion holds for him.

After Sikong Qinglian finished speaking, another person beside her said in a deep voice, "Not only does the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion Bamboo Mountain Sect, but it is also said that the four array diagrams outside the True Form Diagram of the Five Peaks are hidden inside. Since Qing Yuanzi is proficient in array formations, even if he doesn't care about magic Law Artifact, he certainly won't let go of the four cultivation array diagrams."

"Wait a little longer, it will appear eventually."

Sikong Qinglian looked at Huoyun True Person, her face remaining unchanged, but inwardly she was bitterly smiling.

Not to mention that the Hundred-Sword Diagram is already in her and Qing Yuanzi's hands, even if there are other cultivation array diagrams in the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion, Qing Yuanzi might not be interested.

True Person Huoyun was unaware of what Sikong Qinglian was thinking.

He wields the Qianyan Fire Bamboo Sword, one of the Seven Treasures of Bamboo Mountain, and sits calmly on his fishing platform. His True Person is also long, so he is not in a hurry at all.

Fire Crow Daoist and Water-Walking True Person, unaware of the Hundred-Sword Diagram, felt somewhat relieved after hearing Huoyun True Person's words. However, the thought of the Rain Mountain Pavilion obtaining the Five-Yang Sword and hiding it away for twenty-four years still left them feeling somewhat uneasy.

Just then.

The outside world was gloomy, a blood-red expanse.

Lu Qingfeng hid on a remote, deserted island hundreds of miles away from Yushan Island. His aura was concealed by an array, so even the Flying Eagle True Person of the Five Mountains Sect, wielding the Mirror of Returning Light, could not deduce Lu Qingfeng's location.

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

In reality, it only lasts three months.

Lu Qingfeng juggled his real-life cultivation and business management while also keeping up with his cultivation in the game.

After reaching the Spirit Void Fusion Realm, Lu Qingfeng's cultivation speed slowed down noticeably due to a lack of experience. Counting these twenty-four years, he has been at the Spirit Void Fusion Realm for eighty-four years, but he has only reached the mid-to-late stage of the Fusion Realm, still quite a distance from perfection and a breakthrough.

Lu Qingfeng was in no hurry to enter the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion.

Unlike what True Person Huoyun of Yushan Island thought, Lu Qingfeng was very interested in the Law Artifact, array diagrams, and the inheritance of the Bamboo Mountain Sect in the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion.

But I'm only interested; I'm not in a hurry.

He hasn't encountered any bottlenecks in his cultivation yet, so he can hide and cultivate in seclusion for now. It's not too late to open the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion Abode when his cultivation stagnates. With the Five-Yang Sword in his hands, the opening of the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion will inevitably involve him.

In this way.

There's nothing to rush about.

So Lu Qingfeng cultivated on the deserted island, and twenty-four years passed in the blink of an eye, which True Person masters of Yushan Island and the Five Peaks Sect very anxious.

Twenty-four years.

The Five-Yang Sword had long been refined and analyzed.

However, in terms of Law Artifact, Lu Qingfeng focused on the Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks and the Dutian Blazing Fire Divine Banners.

Both genuine items are eighth-tier Law Artifact with enormous potential.

The former, combined with Lu Qingfeng's mastery of formations, allows him to fight Lu Qingfeng of higher levels without appearing abrupt. The latter, wielded by the Zhurong Demon God, can unleash combat power no weaker than Lu Qingfeng's own body.

Besides these two Law Artifacts, the Twin Windfire Pearls are only supplementary, Dust-Veiling Banner is for defense and escape.

The Luofu Heart Lamp is for spiritual practice.

He integrated the Great Geng Sword Formation into his own body.

Both improve as the "Luofu Sword Canon" advances, requiring minimal mental effort.

In this sense, Lu Qingfeng has all the magical Law Artifact most important to cultivators in terms of offense, defense, escape, and cultivation.

The need for other Law Artifact is naturally reduced.

Although the Five-Yang Sword is one of the Seven Treasures of Bamboo Mountain, the genuine article is only of the sixth rank, Lu Qingfeng does not intend to forge it in reality.

This day.

As usual, Lu Qingfeng had finished his cultivation and was refining the Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks.

The number of perfected Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks is 129,600. Lu Qingfeng refines them frequently, but he is still far from reaching the required number.

The Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks Lu Qingfeng refined in the Five Directions Realm this time was Third-Rank Dharma Artifact.

The refining process is more complex and takes longer.

However, its power is also greater, and it is still sufficient for use even after advancing to the Core Formation.

The 419th Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks is halfway through its refinement.

Lu Qingfeng suddenly sensed something and looked towards the sky.

Beyond the array, a streak of blood-red light appeared out of nowhere, illuminating the boundless sky from the far reaches of the heavens.

In a short time.

It was as if the entire sky was shrouded in blood-red light.

It was as if an endless Blood Sea descended, engulfing the entire Five Directions Realm.

"This--"

Lu Qingfeng made a decision and reached into his sleeve to calculate.

"Snort!"

Lu Qingfeng waved his sleeve, scattering a cloud of ashes. The ashes were mixed with blood. Lu Qingfeng looked down at his five fingers and saw that they were split open, flesh torn apart, and bone was visible.

"Such a strong backlash."

Lu Qingfeng stood up and looked at his five fingers. With his recovery ability, his fingers, though seemingly severely injured, should have healed quickly. However, despite circulating his True Essence and the continuous repair by the "Yellow Robe True Formula," the healing speed of his fingers was so slow that it was invisible to the naked eye.

This is normal for ordinary people.

This was truly strange for a cultivator like Lu Qingfeng, who was at the Spirit Void Fusion Realm and practiced Profound-Grade Cultivation Method.

"Blood Sea raged to the heavens, a battlefield of carnage!"

"What does this mean?!"

The backlash was difficult to eliminate, but Lu Qingfeng also gained something. Eight celestial words, carrying a murderous intent, echoed in his mind, Lu Qingfeng carefully pondered. Looking up at the sky, the blood-red light grew increasingly intense, as if Blood Sea had truly descended. Lu Qingfeng subtly calculated with his fingers, immediately sensing that the secrets of heaven were chaotic and utterly obscure.

"Concealing the secrets of heaven!"

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

Only in that brief moment when the blood-red light first appeared could he glimpse a trace of the heavenly secrets. Now, the heavenly secrets are in chaos and have long been obscured. Even with the 'Seven Birds Lesser Evolving Numerology' in hand, his vision remains clouded, as if he were blind.

This method of divination has been temporarily rendered useless.

[Event: Five Directions Realm Crisis]

[Description: 'Blood Sea rages, a battlefield of Asuras!' In the Primordial World, the Demon Dao path ran rampant. The Nether River Cult Ancestor, wielding power over slaughter, established the Blood Sea Lineage and founded the Asura Tribe race, thus beginning the rise of the Blood Sea Lineage. The Nether River Cult Ancestor's chief disciple, the Asura Papiyas of the Paranirmita Heaven, under the command of 'Heaven's Retribution Asura,' was ordered to conquer the Five Directions Realm. A sea of the Blood Sea stretched across the land, attempting to overthrow a realm, but he fell into the Netherworld Blood Sea.]

[Faction: Five Directions Realm / Heaven's Retribution Blood Sea]

[Note: Papiyas of the Paranirmita Heaven, the Supreme Being, is obscuring the secrets of the Five Directions Realm. The Heavenly Heaven's Retribution Asura is dragging the Five Directions Realm with the Blood Sea, altering the position of one realm. All players must remain offline until the event ends.]

"It's actually the Blood Sea Lineage!"

Lu Qingfeng was startled when he saw the scarlet system notification.

The Primordial World was boundless and limitless.

Besides the countless worlds, there are also the Nine Netherworlds and the Nine Heavens. At the very center, there is the Earth Immortal Realm, known as the "Upper Realm." It is divided into the Four Seas and the Four Great Continents.

But apart from that.

There are still many strange and wondrous places in the world.

The Netherworld Blood Sea is one of them.

It is said that this Blood Sea is located in the Nine Netherworlds, beside the Underworld. Inside, blood waves surge, fish and shrimp do not thrive, birds and insects do not come, and all the malevolent energy of heaven and earth gathers here.

However, an unparalleled power was born within it, born of the spirit of slaughter, and known as the 'Nether River'.

With the Yuan Tu and Abi Bi treasures for killing and protection, and the Twelfth-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, Nether River has been an invincible being since Primordial World High Antiquity times.

He was as famous as all the saints.

Even with the emergence of Sage one after another, Nether River was still known as the strongest being in the Primordial World below the level of Sage.

He resided in the Blood Sea, created the Asura race, founded the Asura Sect, and was known as the 'Nether River Cult Ancestor'.

The Primordial World Demon Dao has several supreme lineages, among which the Nether River Blood Sea Lineage is the most outstanding. It is powerful and mysterious, and extremely difficult to destroy.
