Preparations
"Court death!"
The Skybreak Water Dock, obscuring the sun and cutting across the sky, sits amidst the ruins of the Nirvana Extermination Divine Sect, and from the depths of the sacred mountain comes the roar of the Ancestor Ku Yuan.
The murderous intent permeated eight hundred miles, and the sound shook the heavens and the nine heavens.
"Fei Huo!"
"Xuan Yan!"
"Li Gou!"
With a shout, three figures arrived, stepping through the air and landing outside the sacred mountain.
"Gather three thousand troops and rush to the Illusory Wave Sea. We must capture this Liao alive!"
The Ancestor Ku Yuan spoke with extreme rage. He remained hidden in the mountains, and with a wave of his hand, he released an Azure Smoke that transformed into the form of a Daoist priest—
Wearing a fiery red Daoist robe, he was none other than the Rogue Person Blazing Fire.
"Yes."
The three responded and disappeared into the distance.
"The Nirvana Extermination Divine Sect".
Mystic Origin Realm.
The Illusory Wave Sea.
Lu Qingfeng stepped into the cave abode, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Lu Qingfeng had anticipated that the Nirvana Extermination Divine Sect would come knocking on his door. However, given the circumstances at the time and his considerations regarding the Dutian Dark Nether Strategies, Lu Qingfeng was determined to acquire the source of wealth: the Illusory Wave Sea and the Bright and Clear Spiritual Clearbright Spirit Water.
Even if it attracts the attention of the Nirvana Extermination Divine Sect, they don't care about anything else.
"Upgrading the Dutian Dark Nether Strategies, refining Dao Soldiers, and even using the Dutian Dark Nether Strategies in combat all require a large amount of Spirit Stone."
Lu Qingfeng held the Dutian Dark Nether Strategies in his hand, sensing its power.
The battle just now may have seemed easy, but in reality, it was extremely taxing.
"An Azure-Turban Strongman."
"If you exchange it for Spirit Stone, it would be three to five thousand."
The battle lasted less than half an hour, yet it consumed an entire Azure-Turban Strongman. Even a Golden Core True Person might not be able to withstand such a drain. Although Lu Qingfeng was a sixth-tier Alchemist and a sixth-tier weapon refiner, accumulating enough Spirit Stone for a continuous, epic battle was no easy task.
"The formula for the Clearbright Spirit Water can be released."
"But the Illusory Wave Sea must not be lost."
This is currently Lu Qingfeng's largest source of Spirit Stone. Once lost, the Dutian Dark Nether Strategies will be unsustainable, and Lu Qingfeng's strength will be greatly diminished.
Lu Qingfeng sat cross-legged in his cave abode, his mind racing with thoughts.
"It doesn't necessarily mean we have to defend the Illusory Wave Sea to the death." Lu Qingfeng took out the Azurewood King Cauldron with his backhand. With a thought, three hundred Azure-Turban Strongman filed out and disappeared into the depths of the sea within a radius of five hundred miles around Blazing Fire Isle. "Let's try it first. If we can transplant the Spirit-Eye Trees into the Azurewood King Cauldron, that would be even better."
The Azurewood King Cauldron is, after all, an eighth-order Law Artifact, specifically designed for cultivating spirit medicine and Spirit Plant. Upon seeing the vast space and diverse terrain within, Lu Qingfeng's first thought was to transplant the Spirit-Eye Trees.
However, many spirit medicine Spirit Plant have extremely high environmental requirements.
Moreover, "People thrive when they move, but trees die when they are moved."
Although the Spirit-Eye Trees is not particularly delicate, it is still difficult to guarantee its complete safety.
As Lu Qingfeng pondered this, Jumang Demon God grabbed the Azurewood King Cauldron and headed straight for the underwater rift valley.
"The Azure-Turban Strongman, the Azurewood King Cauldron, Jumang Demon God."
"It shouldn't be a problem."
The Azure-Turban Strongman is skilled in cultivating and collecting various spirit medicine and Spirit Plant. The Azurewood King Cauldron is an eighth-tier Law Artifact. The Jumang Demon God is the Demon God of Wood, who is the god who governs the growth of plants and all kinds of life.
The three work together.
Perhaps it will be possible to transplant the Spirit-Eye Trees.
However, we still need to try it out to see how it goes. If the hasty transplantation causes the Spirit-Eye Trees to die out completely, Lu Qingfeng will be heartbroken.
This matter cannot be rushed; it must be handled gradually.
"I killed two Dharma Gathering True Person the Nirvana Extermination Divine Sect and seized the Nirvana Extermination Divine Sect's most precious treasure, the Fallen God Pavilion. The Nirvana Extermination Divine Sect will definitely not let this go."
"The strong are probably already on their way."
Lu Qingfeng felt the murderous intent surrounding him like dark clouds, and his expression darkened slightly.
There are more than three thousand Spirit-Eye Trees on the seabed. Even if they could be transplanted, it would take a long time, and it would probably be too late to hide them.
"But it's alright."
"The Nirvana Extermination Divine Sect ultimately lacks Primordial Spirit to oversee it."
Lu Qingfeng felt somewhat relieved.
As long as his Primordial Spirit doesn't have to intervene, his current strength is more than enough to handle any situation.
"With the blessing of the Dao Soldiers, my True Essence Law Power can instantly rise to the Spell Gathering Realm without affecting myself. If the enemy is fierce, I can even rise to the Golden Core Realm in a short time, but it will put a considerable burden on my body and soul and cannot be maintained for long."
In other words...
As long as there are enough Spirit Stone, Lu Qingfeng can maintain his strength at the Spell Gathering Realm indefinitely.
"Spell Gathering Realm".
"With the combined Divine Ability of the Dutian Demon Flame and the Dutian Baleful Gods Fiend, even a top -Dharma Gathering tier True Person wielding a seventh-tier Law Artifact would be no match for me."
Like Tu Jiao.
Despite possessing cultivation at the peak of the Astral Fiend and the pinnacle of the Dharma Gathering Fallen God Pavilion, and wielding the Lu Qingfeng, she was unable to withstand the power of the Divine Ability and was easily defeated and killed by Lu Qingfeng. Of course, a large part of the reason she was able to do so so easily was because Tu Jiao had not refined the Fallen God Pavilion and could only control it with hand seals, thus unable to unleash its true power.
Even if it is completely refined, Lu Qingfeng will only have to exert some effort, but he will still be able to win.
"His Divine Ability powers are formidable."
"Law Artifact can defeat it!"
At the same cultivation level, like those in the Spell Gathering Realm, if one person wields a seventh-tier Law Artifact while the other uses Divine Ability, the latter will definitely have the upper hand and ultimately win.
Law Artifact are easy to obtain.
However, Divine Ability are hard to attain, and even harder to cultivate.
"Now, with the help of the Dutian Dark Nether Strategies and based on the Twelve Dutian Demon God Method, I can unleash the Dutian Demon Flame and Dutian Baleful Gods Divine Ability. Perhaps only Golden Core True Person cultivator wielding a seventh-tier Law Artifact can overpower me, but they will find it difficult to defeat me."
"If I can advance to the Golden Core Realm in a short period of time, I might even gain an absolute advantage."
"The Zhurong Demon God has ascended to the Golden Core Realm and wields twelve Dutian Blazing Fire Divine Banners, making him no weaker than Golden Core True Person."
A formidable enemy is at hand.
Lu Qingfeng assessed his own strength.
In the novel "Primordial World," during his time in the Black Star Realm, Lu Qingfeng already had a deep understanding of his own strength and the power he gained after borrowing Dao Soldiers. However, at present, he could only use the magical Law Artifact and Divine Ability under his identity as "Rogue Person Blazing Fire."
The methods of Daoist Evergreen and Daoist Watercloud must not be exposed.
As for the Divine Ability hidden beneath the Yellow-Robed Old Monster's identity, they must never be revealed. Otherwise, if the Azurewood Valley discovers them, disaster may befall them.
So it is calculated this way.
Significantly restricted.
In the game, with his Divine Ability and Law Artifact at his disposal, wielding the sixth-tier Dutian Dark Nether Strategies, he is virtually invincible below the Nascent Primordial Spirit. However, in reality, even a master like Rogue Person Blazing Fire would need to be cautious when facing a top-tier Golden Core cultivator.
"The Dutian Demon Flame and the Dutian Baleful Gods are only at the initial stage. Before the great enemy arrives, we can first 'Enlightenment' and comprehend them in the Barbarian God Realm. If we can advance to the minor completion stage, the power of the Divine Ability abilities will greatly increase, and we can also Core Formation invincible!"
A single thought arises—
The Barbarian God Realm.
In Abyss-Suppressing Mountain.
Lu Qingfeng's mind was filled with countless Radiance. When he touched the Dutian Demon Flame within, it transformed into Radiance. In an instant, boundless profound mysteries surged into his mind, and his Divine Ability abilities rose steadily. At the same time, his divine soul was also being continuously depleted.
After a while.
His spirit was exhausted.
Lu Qingfeng then stopped, enduring the excruciating pain that felt like his soul was being torn apart. He absorbed the pure power from the Soul-Swaying Stone he had searched in the Heaven's Punishment Abyss while simultaneously consuming elixirs to Spirit Nurturing and restore his soul.
His spirit recovered quickly.
One year later.
With his spirit full of energy, he disregarded the hidden dangers of his deepest injuries and was unwilling to wait twenty years for quiet recuperation. Radiance struck Lu Qingfeng, and he once again rapidly comprehended the 'Dutian Demon Flame'.
One session of 'Evolving Method - Enlightenment' is equivalent to two hundred years of Lu Qingfeng's painstaking study.
In this way.
One year.
Two years.
Three years.
Time passed steadily in Abyss-Suppressing Mountain.
Two hundred years.
Four hundred years.
Six hundred years.
Dutian Demon Flame deepened and became more thorough, bursts of Radiance erupted, enveloping the entire cave abode in the demon flame, Spirit Transformation powers and techniques, with their power constantly increasing.
From the initial stage of 'beginner', one continuously progresses towards the 'minor achievement' level.
Under the Soul-Thought Generation.
You can balance reality and gaming.
On Blazing Fire Isle.
Lu Qingfeng endured the terrifying sense of separation between the two thoughts caused by the hundredfold time difference, and took out the Fallen God Pavilion from his Storage Bag.
"The Fallen God Pavilion is the treasure of the Nirvana Extermination Divine Sect. True Person at the Spell Gathering Realm is not qualified to control it; he can only borrow it."
Therefore.
Tu Jiao was unable to withstand Lu Qingfeng's offensive.
At the last moment, the owner of the Fallen God Pavilion tried to take away the Law Artifact from a distance, but although the Dutian Baleful Gods was not as useful as the Five-Colored Divine Light, it was most adept at defiled people's bodies and Law Artifact.
Under the filth, the Law Artifact were damaged and rendered uncontrollable.
That person's idea of taking it from thousands of miles away is simply wishful thinking.
"Not yet completely ownerless."
Lu Qingfeng polished the Law Artifact, and with a thought, Five-Colored Divine Light swept down fiercely to cleanse it, completely erasing all marks and leaving no trace of anyone else.
"The Five-Colored Divine Light is indeed the most useful."
He shook his head.
The two demon gods, Zhurong Gonggong, reached out their hands from their bodies and grabbed Fallen God Pavilion to refine it.
"Fallen God Pavilion is powerful."
"I possess Divine Ability, but I lack a Law Artifact."
Lu Qingfeng had too many identities in reality, so much so that nearly ten Cultivation Method Law Artifact weren't enough to go around. Only twelve Dutian Blazing Fire Divine Banners were associated with the name 'Rogue Person Blazing Fire'.
When activated by the Zhurong Demon God, it can overpower Golden Core True Person.
'Rogue Person Blazing Fire' himself Law Artifact. The four Law Artifact he obtained from the Immortal Mansion of Yu Mountain are more suited for escape and self-defense, and there is no guarantee that they will not be discovered by Azurewood Valley.
Lu Qingfeng does not plan to use it for the time being.
In this way.
"The Fallen God Pavilion is a seventh-tier Law Artifact; its arrival is perfectly timed."
Lu Qingfeng smiled.
Don't be fooled by Tu Jiao's mere peak Spell Gathering Realm cultivation and her easy defeat with the Fallen God Pavilion, thinking that a seventh-tier Law Artifact weapon is nothing special. Keep in mind that the entire Mystic Origin Sect, White Bone Demon Sect, and Heavenly Wander Mountain possess no seventh-tier Law Artifact. Even in a major sect like the Nirvana Extermination Divine Sect, the Fallen God Pavilion is a prized treasure, and the sect likely has no more than three such Law Artifact in its possession.
If refined and activated by Golden Core True Person, one's strength would be unmatched Core Formation.
It was only because he underestimated the 'Rogue Person Blazing Fire' and the 'Dutian Baleful Gods Fiend' was so mysterious that Lu Qingfeng managed to snatch it away by chance. If it had been in the original owner's hands, without the Five-Colored Divine Light, Lu Qingfeng would have had no chance of taking it.
They're really lucky.
"Once refined, it will be like a tiger with wings."
Lu Qingfeng had witnessed the power of the Fallen God Pavilion; it was an offensive magical Law Artifact. Thus, he finally possessed a high-level magical Law Artifact capable of determining victory or defeat.
One can stand in the Radiant Glow Domain.
Looking at the golden archway being rapidly refined, Lu Qingfeng's joy was beyond words. Refining a seventh-tier Law Artifact was not easy, but the simultaneous refinement by the two demon gods Zhurong and Gonggong was extremely fast.
It has to be said.
The Twelve Dutian Demon God Method have mysterious and wondrous uses in all aspects of life.
The layers of restrictions on the Fallen God Pavilion were quickly refined.
Lu Qingfeng's gaze shifted and landed on the Dutian Dark Nether Strategies.
Boom boom boom!
The three true forms of Zou Buping, Tu Jiao, and Kumbhanda were continuously refined in the Dutian Creation Pool. Each true form was comparable to dozens or even hundreds of Azure-Turban Strongman.
Their souls were suppressed.
Seven Dutian Ghost Generals arranged the Dutian Soul-Refining Formation, while three thousand six hundred Dark Nether Yin Soldiers formed the Bamboo Mountain Rainfall Formation.
Two major formations overlapped.
New changes have emerged, Dutian Dark Nether Formation has been operating with a roar, continuously refining the three souls.
Even at the Spell Gathering Realm.
Even if the Astral Fiend are perfectly balanced.
Without forming Primordial Spirit, a mere soul is ultimately weak. Though one may be conscious and roar madly, one cannot escape Fate in the end.
In the Dutian Dark Nether Strategies, three more Ghost General have been added.
"Good potential."
"It's a pity, though."
These three Ghost General were all at the Spell Gathering Realm in their previous lives. Even after becoming Ghost General, given enough time, they might still be able to cultivate to the Primordial Spirit Realm on their own.
However, given the current situation, Lu Qingfeng naturally chose the former over the three Golden Core Peak level Dharma Gathering Ghost General, Ghost General had a certain chance of advancing to the Primordial Spirit Realm in the future.
"The Nirvana Extermination Divine Sect is one of the two top immortal sects in the Radiant Glow Domain. It has many Core Formation True Person, and there are as many as nine Golden Core True Person of the Fourth Realm who are famous far and wide. They are known as the 'Nine Elders of Nirvana Extinction'."
Lu Qingfeng looked towards the northeast and shook his head. "Ten Ghost General are far from enough."
There are now sixteen Dutian Ghost Generals in the Dutian Dark Nether Strategies. Six of them secretly protect Qingshan and Qingyu, leaving Lu Qingfeng with only ten to command.
It is still somewhat weak to be an enemy of the vast Nirvana Extermination Divine Sect.
"Let's go take another trip to the White Bone Realm."
Taking advantage of the fact that the Nirvana Extermination Divine Sect had not yet arrived, Lu Qingfeng used his Invisibility Technique to escape from the cave abode.
