The First Signs of Power!

Zhao Yang, as the elder of the Feather Immortal Pavilion Illusory Wave Sea, came to hand over the duties. After the handover was completed, he led the Feather Immortal Pavilion cultivators from the Illusory Wave Sea away.

As if throwing away a hot potato, he turned his head and disappeared in an instant.

"Even before the great war began, forces like the Feather Immortal Pavilion started to plan and mitigate their losses."

"Really."

"Those who are in business are the most astute."

As Lu Qingfeng watched Zhao Yang and the others from the Feather Immortal Pavilion leave, a smile appeared on his face, hidden beneath his black robe.

Taking advantage of the impending battle between the Mystic Origin Sect and the White Bone Demon Sect, and even subtly invoking the White Bone Demon Sect's influence, taking over the Illusory Wave Sea was far easier than Lu Qingfeng had imagined.

One thousand eight hundred Spirit Stone.

He directly bought out the entire ownership of the Illusory Wave Sea, or more precisely, the area within a 500-mile radius of the Bluegold Tree. This included the waters and the Bluegold Tree itself, all of which belonged to Lu Qingfeng.

Certainly.

At the Feather Immortal Pavilion, the person they were trading with was not Lu Qingfeng, True Disciple of the Mystic Origin Sect 'Pill Convergence Hall, but a Demon Dao cultivator named' Rogue Person Blazing Fire '.

Those who practice Devil Cultivation Method belong to the Demon Dao.

"A single Bluegold Tree produces 365 drops of Pure Essence every two hundred years, which is equivalent to one jar sold by the Feather Immortal Pavilion."

"The more than three thousand Bluegold Tree in the Illusory Wave Sea bring the Feather Immortal Pavilion about five thousand Spirit Stone every two hundred years. On average, that's less than thirty Spirit Stone per year. One thousand eight hundred Spirit Stone is equivalent to buying out sixty years' worth of income."

"Given the turbulent situation, the uncertain circumstances, and the suspicion that I have the White Bone Demon Sect backing me, the price might be able to be pushed down even further."

"But there's no need."

"For the Feather Immortal Pavilion, being able to quickly make a move in the Illusory Wave Sea, no matter how many Spirit Stone it costs, is a huge profit for the Feather Immortal Pavilion."

Lu Qingfeng knew this very well.

This suited him perfectly.

Watching the cultivators from the Feather Immortal Pavilion depart, Lu Qingfeng sensed other cultivators lurking around, seemingly observing. He chuckled and landed, beginning to rearrange the formations based on the Feather Immortal Pavilion's existing array.

Stop the Foundation Establishment cultivator?

Be wary of Spirit Void Cultivator?

"Not nearly enough!"

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

There are quite a few Core Formation True Person the Mystic Origin Realm, White Bone Realm, and the neighboring Heavenly Wander Realm controlled by the Demon Race 'Heavenly Wander Mountain, not to mention Spirit Void Cultivator.

The Feather Immortal Pavilion is large and powerful, and can defend against these Spirit Void Cultivators.

These Spirit Void Cultivator were also wary of the Feather Immortal Pavilion and dared not be too reckless. Even if they did manage to sneak in, the Feather Immortal Pavilion wouldn't feel bad about wasting a few dozen or even hundreds of drops of the Pure Essence if they hadn't discovered its true effects.

However, Lu Qingfeng was all alone, and it was inevitable that Spirit Void Cultivator would underestimate him, sneaking in or even forcing their way in. Lu Qingfeng wasn't afraid of the others, but he was worried that these petty thieves would be reckless and destroy the Bluegold Tree.

Each of these Bluegold Tree is a money tree, and Lu Qingfeng can't bear to part with them.

With his mastery of formations, he could set up a formation that ordinary Spirit Void Cultivator could never enter. As for powerful Spirit Void Cultivator, he would personally deal with them.

One day.

Two days.

Three days.

It lasted for a full two weeks.

Lu Qingfeng laid out a formation that could be described as an inescapable Heavenly Net within a radius of five hundred miles, completely surrounding the Bluegold Tree without any blind spots.

Then, they would gradually add more, layer upon layer of formations, hiding themselves within, Core Formation True Person to break in.

However, at present, there is a shortage of materials, and Lu Qingfeng's cultivation is also weak, so he is not yet able to do this.

Two weeks later.

Lu Qingfeng landed on the island above the Bluegold Tree Canyon.

The area covered by the formation spanned five hundred miles and included numerous islands of varying sizes. Originally, this land was directly controlled by the Feather Immortal Pavilion, but it had now become Lu Qingfeng's private property.

Five hundred miles away, there is an even more vast Illusory Wave Sea, where many Rogue Cultivators and small sects are scattered. Even the Feather Immortal Pavilion dares not drive them away, lest they incur the wrath of the masses.

Lu Qingfeng only wanted the Bluegold Tree, so he wouldn't bother with anything else.

"Years of accumulation have been completely depleted today."

Lu Qingfeng flicked his sleeves, and a Qingfeng swirled around him.

After purchasing the Illusory Wave Sea and setting up the array, he was almost penniless. Most of the Spirit Stone Lu Qingfeng possessed were obtained from the Hundred Herbs Garden years ago. He had also accumulated some sporadically through alchemy and weapon crafting.

However, collecting various materials through Feng Ping is quite costly.

He had less than two thousand Spirit Stone on him.

This time, I first purchased the materials for refining the array, and then paid 1,800 Spirit Stone.

Lu Qingfeng had less than fifty Spirit Stone left, a record low.

Refined Crystal have not yet been produced.

However, the Pure Essence could be used to prepare Clearbright Spirit Water for profit.

"But before that—"

Lu Qingfeng flicked his wrist, and an iron token appeared in his palm. "Let's go check out the White Bone Realm first!"

Cloudmist Mountain.

Vast and boundless, stretching for thousands of miles, with clouds and mist swirling around the endless sky.

The White Bone Demon Sect is located in the center.

This day.

Above the Demon Sect's main hall.

The White Bone Demon Sect's leader, True Person Illusory Nether, along with the two Heavenly Kings, Soul Searcher and Heart Locker, and the four guardians, Yun Che, Han Ji, Yue Jiuxiao, Feng Boping, were all present.

The highest level converges.

Feng Boping has a sinister appearance, his body sometimes real and sometimes illusory. Dressed in a green robe, he slowly steps forward, toying with a long emerald flute in his hand, and says, "In the past three months, thirteen sects, large and small, including Heavenly Fire Pavilion, Cloud Mat Sect, and Golden Embryo Palace, have been attacked. Most of their entire members have been slaughtered. Many notorious rogue Rogue Cultivator have also been killed. The perpetrators are ruthless and decisive, their Thunder Method is unparalleled, and their origins and backgrounds are unknown."

"At this critical juncture, who else but the south could be involved?!"

Yue Jiuxiao looked domineering and imposing, his eyebrows raised. He snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "They claim to be the righteous path, yet they prefer to engage in petty scheming. The Mystic Origin Sect has always been like this."

In the past three months, within the territory of the White Bone Demon Sect, Demon Sect have been repeatedly attacked, resulting in heavy casualties.

Given that this occurred during such a sensitive period, Mystic Origin Sect naturally harbored the greatest suspicions.

"You think one person can disrupt the White Bone Demon Sect's formation?"

"In my opinion, it is probably Heavenly Wander Mountain in the east that is stirring things up. These furry creatures are no good either."

Yun Che looked like a young man, but he was extremely mature, and his eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a cold glint.

The people in the hall were discussing it.

True Person Illusory Nether looked at the two Heavenly Kings, Soul Searcher and Heart Locker, who had not yet spoken, and asked, "What are your thoughts, junior brothers?"

The Heavenly King Soul-Seeking remained silent.

The Heavenly King Heart-Locking chuckled sinisterly, "Whether it's the Mystic Origin Sect, Heavenly Wander Mountain, or neither, my sect will eventually deal with the Mystic Origin Sect. Once the Mystic Origin Sect's power wanes, Heavenly Wander Mountain, like a reed in the wind, will naturally seize the opportunity. By joining forces to eliminate the Mystic Origin Sect, with my White Bone Demon Sect taking the lead, the benefits will be endless. Why think so much?!"

"The Heavenly King Heart-Locking is right."

Han Ji, a burly man, wielded a large, white hammer and said in a deep voice, "As long as the sect leader gives the order, watch me smash the Mystic Origin Sect until they can't find their way back!"

"Ha ha!"

"Han Ji's words resonate deeply with me."

True Person Illusory Nether Huanyou laughed loudly, waved his hand, and said loudly, "To the north of the Mystic Origin Sect, there is a rare Fire Spirit Shell Grounds. The Fire Spirit Shell Pearls produced there are in high demand and short supply, which is of great benefit to our cultivation of fire-attribute Devil Cultivation Method. If Protector Han Ji's 'White Bone Six-Yang Hammer' absorbs enough Fire Spirit Shell Pearls, it will surely be able to reach a higher level, and it is not impossible for it to reach the sixth rank."

"I will trouble Protector Han Ji to go ahead and order the disciples of the Lifeless Hall to attack the Fire Spirit Shell Grounds."

"What is Protector Han Ji's opinion?"

Upon hearing this, Han Ji slammed his hammer to the ground and clasped his hands in True Person Illusory Nether You Zhenren, saying, "I will not fail in my mission!"

"There's no need for that."

"This battle is merely a test of the Mystic Origin Sect's strength. It would be best if we could take the Fire Spirit Shell Grounds, but if we cannot, we should not force it and must not ruin our plans."

True Person Illusory Nether gave his instructions.

"Don't worry, Sect Master, I, Old Han, will definitely take over the Fire Spirit Shell Grounds and make a great start!"

Han Ji grabbed the sledgehammer, his face full of confidence.

The Illusory Wave Sea.

Blazing Fire Isle.

[Law Artifact: Dutian Dark Nether Strategies]

[Grade: Tier 4]

[The Dutian Ghost Generals: 18/18]

[Dark Nether Yin Soldiers: 360/360]

On the island named Blazing Fire Isle, Lu Qingfeng sat cross-legged in his cave abode, with an iron scroll floating in front of him, emitting a booming sound, with the Dutian Qi overflowing and enveloping the iron scroll.

It is the Dutian Dark Nether Strategies.

This was refined during the time Lu Qingfeng spent cultivating the Ironfire Ants after returning to the Gathering Cloud Mountains.

It was initially only at the fourth level.

These years.

When Lu Qingfeng was in the Gathering Cloud Mountains and in the Profound Origin Water Realm, the Spider Puppet he had created in the Shangyang Country and the Weeping Marsh never stopped.

Nearly a hundred Spider Puppet roamed the Weeping Marsh, mining countless materials, which were then transported to a storage location by the Giant Tortoise Puppet.

These materials are mostly used to refine level one to Sixth-Level Puppet, and can also be used to refine Talisman Artifact and first and second-tier Law Artifact.

Given Lu Qingfeng's current level, he rarely needs to use it.

But its advantage lies in its large quantity.

The mountain-like low-grade materials mined by the Spider Puppet in the Weeping Marsh were put into the Dutian Dark Nether Strategies, Dutian Creation Pool was running at full capacity, propelling the Law Artifact towards the fifth tier.

It took several months.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change; the opportunity for a breakthrough has arrived.

Rumble!

The Dutian Dark Nether Strategies roared and trembled in the sky. Within it lay the Dutian Creation Pool, which, like a great millstone, continuously ground down countless low-grade materials, transforming them into the Dutian Qi.

Lu Qingfeng formed hand seals and cast out talismans, accelerating the formation of the Earthly Fiend Restriction within the Dutian Dark Nether Strategies.

Time passes.

About half an hour later.

Most of the materials, and even Spirit Stone, in the Dutian Creation Pool have been worn away.

In the Dutian Dark Nether Strategies, the thirty-seventh Earthly Fiend Restriction finally began to condense.

"Boom!"

Like the creation of the world, the thirty-seventh Earthly Fiend Restriction was formed.

With the appearance of the restriction, the Dutian Dark Nether Strategies underwent a tremendous change, and its aura became increasingly powerful.

Boom boom boom!

A deafening roar resounded as the inner space expanded continuously. The Dutian Creation Pool expanded, instantly consuming all the unrefined materials and Spirit Stone, generating bursts of Dutian Qi.

The Dutian Dark Nether Strategies slowly subsided and landed in Lu Qingfeng's hand.

"It's done!"

Lu Qingfeng's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly went to examine the fifth-tier attributes—

[Law Artifact: Dutian Dark Nether Strategies]

[Grade: Fifth Tier]

[Dutian Ghost Generals: 0/36]

[Dark Nether Yin Soldiers: 0/1080]

"Ha ha!"

"Having completed the fifth stage, my path is complete!"

Lu Qingfeng was so excited that he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Fifth-Rank Dharma Artifact is considered a treasure even in the Mystic Origin Realm, White Bone Realm, and Heavenly Wander Realm. Only Core Formation True Person can possess it, and even some Core Formation True Person may not have a single Fifth-Rank Dharma Artifact.

Whether or not one possesses Fifth-Rank Dharma Artifact, the difference in strength is enormous, and the suppression of others depends entirely on this.

The Dutian Dark Nether Strategies is different from ordinary Fifth-Rank Dharma Artifact.

It is Law Artifact used to raise Dao Soldiers.

It has little power of its own, but once it raises a large number of Dao Soldiers, whether it gathers the power of the Dao Soldiers into itself or releases the Dao Soldiers to set up battle formations, it will have the strength to rival Core Formation True Person.

From then on.

With the Dutian Dark Nether Strategies, Lu Qingfeng could be considered a prominent figure even among the Core Formation True Person in the Three Realms.

He has been practicing in Blackwood Village for over twenty years.

Only now are we truly no longer living hand to mouth, and can be described as—

The climate is beginning to take shape!

How could I not be overjoyed?!
