Descend!

"It's best to be careful on this trip to the Chunshen Realm."

Lu Qingfeng put away the Succession Token.

Besides the Succession Token, the Sizhao Sword was a gift from the Min River Dragon Lord. Lu Qingfeng held it in his hand, feeling the immense power within the sword, and was somewhat astonished.

He is quite knowledgeable and worldly-wise.

He even possessed more than one Immortal Artifact.

However, for many cultivators in the Fourth Realm or the Primordial Spirit Stage, they may only possess one seventh-tier Law Artifact throughout their entire lives. It's normal for some unlucky ones not to even have a single seventh-tier Law Artifact.

The Min River Dragon Lord possesses the Min River, but his foundation is ultimately too shallow. He has no shortage of sixth-tier Law Artifact, but seventh-tier Law Artifact are definitely few and far between. This kind of bestowal truly exceeded Lu Qingfeng's expectations.

After all.

When Luofuzi clone, entered the Chunshen Realm, the Min River Dragon Lord only bestowed upon him a sixth-order Law Artifact.

"Refine it carefully."

"Once you reach Chunshen Realm, the best course of action is to find a safe place to stay. Apart from yourself, never completely trust either Red Cypress or Luofuzi."

Min River Dragon Lord glanced at Lu Qingfeng, hesitated for a moment, then closed his eyes and disappeared.

When leaving.

A voice came, "I will come to pick you up again in two years."

Then, the vital energy completely disappeared.

"Red Cypress."

Lu Qingfeng toyed with the Sizhao Sword, information about this person flashing through his mind—

A thousand years ago.

The Min River Dragon Lord sought refuge in the Sorrow River and was appointed to govern Min River. At that time, it coincided with the once-every-five-hundred-years dispatch of cultivators to the Chunshen Realm. Since the Min River Dragon Lord had entered the Sorrow River, he was also involved. In his haste, he only had time to find a Red Serpent with remarkable potential in a cypress forest in the Min River and take it as his disciple.

That is the Red Cypress.

After a few hasty years of instruction, Red Cypress was sent to the Chunshen Realm. In fact, he was not as well-known as 'Luofuzi'. Of course, in Min River Dragon Lord's eyes, neither Luofuzi Red Cypress were worth believing.

"The Dragon Palace and the Heavenly Court are attacking Chunshen Realm, intending to incorporate it into the Ancient Sorrow Continent."

"Once success is achieved, heaven and earth will reward all who enter the Chunshen Realm."

"But the fewer Ancient Sorrow cultivators who survive by then, the more luck and rewards will be on your shoulders. The Three Dragon Palaces at odds with the Heavenly Court, and they are not united with each other. For their own future, they may kill each other at any time."

Even though they both belong to the Min River Dragon Palace.

"But I have never met Red Cypress before, and Red Cypress has only stayed in the Min River Dragon Palace for a few years. It is hard to guarantee his character."

Lu Qingfeng pondered and understood what the Min River Dragon Lord was thinking.

But.

Red Cypress is not trustworthy, but Luofuzi is definitely not a problem.

Lu Qingfeng pondered for a moment.

He then began refining the Sizhao Sword.

It's a seventh-tier Law Artifact after all; refining it can significantly boost combat power.

Two years later.

Located somewhere in the Sorrow River Dragon Palace, a place spanning a thousand miles and radiating divine light that soars into the sky, a hundred or so people stand in the center. If viewed from above, one can see that the thousand-mile expanse is arranged entirely according to the Eight Trigrams), with each of the hundred or so people positioned according to their respective directions, and none of them are to be moved without permission.

"What a mysterious formation."

Lu Qingfeng stood within it, looking at the surrounding array, and felt a profound mystery. Without daring to use his Grand Luo Insight Technique, he was completely bewildered and unable to decipher its secrets. He only sensed that this array seemed to have a subtle connection to the outside world, as if it were pointing east or west, and even the heavens seemed to have a faint, unseen energy that the Unseen with it.

Yes.

"The Sorrow River Dragon Palace is in the middle, with the East Sea to the east, the West Sea to the west, and the Heavenly Court above. It should be that all four great formations are working together."

Lu Qingfeng guessed something, but upon closer inspection, he found nothing.

I decided to stop looking and instead looked around.

The hundred or so people around him were all Ancient Sorrow cultivators who were in the same batch as him and were about to enter the Chunshen Realm.

The Sorrow River Dragon Palace has many subjects, including several high-ranking officials of the second rank such as the Min River Dragon Lord and the Wu River Dragon Lord. However, due to his limited seniority and influence, the Min River Dragon Lord only has one position available.

Other veteran players, however, have two to three to five spots available.

The total number is quite large.

Let's take a closer look.

At this moment, there are 126 people within the Eight Trigrams formation. If the East Sea, West Sea, and Heavenly Court also have this number, then there will be four or five hundred Ancient Sorrow cultivators entering the Chunshen Realm this time.

It takes about 500 years to crack.

Over thousands of years, the number of Ancient Sorrow cultivators in the Chunshen Realm, whether dead or alive, has been quite considerable.

Looking around.

Lu Qingfeng noticed that among the group of the Sorrow River cultivators who were about to enter the Chunshen Realm with him, two had auras somewhat similar to those of the Wu River Dragon Lord he had seen before. Their appearances and physiques were also very similar to those of the Seventh and Eighth Princes of the Wu River Dragon Palace that he had learned about.

"Ao Yin".

"Ao Pi".

Lu Qingfeng looked at the two of them, his eyes flashing slightly.

Being stared at like that.

The two sensed something and looked at Lu Qingfeng simultaneously. A moment's surprise followed, then a look of apology appeared in their eyes—

"So it's Brother Guangyuan."

A voice rang in my ears.

Lu Qingfeng looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Ao Pi, the Eighth Prince of the Wu River Dragon Palace, was moving his lips slightly, clearly transmitting his voice.

Lu Qingfeng ignored him.

Seeing this, Ao Pi didn't care, but felt even more guilty. "When I was young and ignorant, I did many wrong things. I am extremely ashamed and have always wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to Sister Ao Le."

One side.

Ao Yin also sighed and said, "Brother Guangyuan is right to resent us brothers. We were young at the time and we really let down Sister Ao Le."

The two brothers had bitter eyes and a faint sense of regret on their faces.

"It's all in the past now."

"Le'er never took it to heart."

Upon seeing this, Lu Qingfeng was slightly moved and finally responded in a low voice.

Upon seeing this, Ao Pi was overjoyed and said repeatedly, "That's wonderful. This matter has been weighing on my mind and almost became a knot in my heart. Two years ago, I heard my father mention in the Dragon Transformation Hall that he had met Brother Guangyuan. I wanted to apologize to him in person, but unfortunately, my father left in a hurry and I didn't get to wait for him. Today, I've finally found an opportunity."

Lu Qingfeng nodded slightly.

Her expression softened a little more.

Upon seeing this, Ao Yin uttered Xuanyin, and Miaoyin reached Lu Qingfeng's ears. Lu Qingfeng was puzzled, but quickly memorized it. Then he heard Ao Yin transmit his voice, "Brother Guangyuan, if you encounter any danger in the Chunshen Realm, just recite this incantation, and my brother and I, even if we are separated by tens of thousands of miles, will try our best to arrive as soon as possible. Consider it a small compensation for the mistakes we made when we were young and ignorant."

Upon hearing this, most of the icy expression on Lu Qingfeng's face finally melted away.

Hesitated for a moment.

He spoke again, reciting a Mnemonic that reached Ao Yin and Ao Pi's ears. Seeing the mixture of surprise and joy on their faces, Lu Qingfeng said somewhat stiffly, "Wu River once took in and raised Le'er. He has been kind to Le'er, which is to say he has been kind to Guangyuan. If you two encounter danger, you can recite this Mnemonic, and I will sense it and come to your aid. After I have saved you two and repaid the past kindness, I will settle the score with Le'er for the Le'er you caused when you were young."

Upon hearing this, Ao Yin and Ao Pi exchanged a glance, then clasped their hands in a fist salute to Lu Qingfeng and said, "Brother Guangyuan, you are clear about right and wrong, we admire you. If we encounter you in the Chunshen Realm, we will deal with you as you see fit!"

Lu Qingfeng closed his eyes and stopped speaking.

The two met.

He shook his head helplessly and fell silent.

The Eight Trigrams formation, spanning a thousand miles, shone with divine light; those within it could not see the scene outside.

All that could be sensed were extremely powerful and boundless energy swirling in the void.

Fluctuations.

Even the slightest hint of it is enough to terrify one's heart and make one tremble with fear.

Lu Qingfeng stood in the middle.

He closed his eyes, a glint of Radiance flashing within them before he suppressed it and fell into silence. Quietly sensing, the divine light of the Eight Trigrams array grew ever stronger, even causing the void to tremble. A gentle breeze brushed against his face, but upon opening his eyes, there was no wind; it was clearly the void itself trembling slightly, creating an illusion.

The Ancient Sorrow Continent is nowhere to be found.

Several terrifying beings, whose shapes and numbers were indistinct, possessed auras that were either as scorching as the Blazing Sun Realm or as vast as the Four Seas.

There was no communication.

Boom!

The heavens and earth roared, and divine light shone brightly.

Where Lu Qingfeng was, the Eight Trigrams formation suddenly sprouted many divine dragons, which roared and devoured Lu Qingfeng. One of them then crashed through the void.

Heaven and earth are upside down.

His mind was elsewhere.

Lu Qingfeng saw nothing more, nor could he sense anything else. He remembered the instructions of the Min River Dragon Lord and remained steadfast in his convictions.

Boom boom boom!

Thunder roared in my ears, and the sound of a raging storm filled the air.

The next moment.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared before Lu Qingfeng's eyes. The divine dragon outside his body swung its tail violently, increasing its speed several times over. It crashed headfirst into the light, unleashing a blinding burst of light.

Immediately afterwards.

The scene in Lu Qingfeng's eyes slowly returned to normal, as if millions of shooting stars were falling from the sky.

Or perhaps Golden Armored Divine General, arranged in a grand formation, descending straight down from the azure clouds, as if heavenly soldiers and generals were descending.

Or perhaps it was a blue dragon, a white dragon, or a golden dragon, roaring through the void, shaking its head and wagging its tail, emitting loud howls that shook the heavens and earth.

At the highest point in the sky.

In all directions.

A forest of powerful figures stood before him. Lu Qingfeng strained his eyes to see them, but a sharp pain shot through them, making it impossible to discern anything clearly. These powerful figures, even standing still, could influence the surrounding spacetime and distort normal vision. Standing right in front of him, he couldn't recognize them. Their auras coalesced into blinding beams of light.

Lu Qingfeng did not stand out either, and did not use the Grand Luo Insight to spy.

Just looking at it normally.

Within those clusters of light, as bright as the Blazing Sun Realm, it seemed as if someone was making gestures and movements, their aura vast and powerful, confronting the mysterious beings from beyond the heavens. Some of these clusters of light were even formed from Law Artifact, transforming into profound light that swept across the heavens and earth.

"Power!"

The Golden Armored Divine General in the sky roared, collectively withstanding the attack. In just an instant, it exploded, and countless divine lights shot out. Lu Qingfeng dared to use the Grand Luo Insight to see, and saw that within the divine light, there were many figures hidden.

They might be wearing armor or a Daoist robe.

They were dressed in different ways.

It was none other than the Ancient Sorrow.

The Golden Armored Divine General guarding them must be cultivators from the Heavenly Court.

It fell to earth shrouded in divine light, a truly magnificent sight.

Not just the Golden Armored Divine General.

Even the tricolor dragon was not spared.

Lu Qingfeng was inside the Golden Dragon's belly when he saw a beam of azure light pierce through the air. At first glance, it looked like a silk ribbon. Upon closer inspection, however, he discovered that it was a Law Artifact made up of eighty-one interconnected emerald rings.

One of the jade rings fell, as large as a mountain, and slammed hard onto the Golden Dragon surrounding Lu Qingfeng.

Boom!

A deafening roar filled Lu Qingfeng's ears. The Golden Dragon blocked the attack, but it instantly transformed into countless Golden Light that shot towards the earth. Lu Qingfeng was also enveloped in a Golden Light, concealing his presence.

Having gone through that experience, Lu Qingfeng was undoubtedly much more composed.

The person fell rapidly to the ground amidst the Golden Light, yet still had time to look around.

"Ao Yin".

"Ao Pi".

The two were each enveloped in a Golden Light, plummeting towards the earth, their faces filled with terror and panic. After all, it was their first time, and they were only Third Realm cultivators. Faced with such overwhelming power comparable to heaven and earth, they were truly powerless and insignificant.

They are no match for Lu Qingfeng, who has seen countless grand occasions.

Lu Qingfeng watched the two figures, their Golden Light shooting out and getting further and further away from him. He could only silently memorize their positions, but he had no ability to influence the direction of his own Golden Light.

Boom boom boom!

Golden Light, accompanied by wind and thunder, seemed to tear through the void. The surrounding scenery flashed by rapidly, and the earth drew near quickly. Perhaps it was a quarter of an hour, or perhaps it was just a blink of an eye.

Boom!

Lu Qingfeng was shocked.

Every part of my body ached, even my soul felt a sharp pain. My physical body was being oppressed, and so was my soul. It felt like being forced from a normal space into a space filled with molten iron that hadn't completely solidified yet.

Every move they make is severely restricted.

"Rejected by Heaven and Earth!"

A thought arose in Lu Qingfeng's mind, and his vision quickly returned.

Look up.

Before the shooting stars had faded, countless Golden Light, white, and blue lights shone brightly, and rows of great suns stretched across the void.

Take a closer look.

The world has changed.
