442. Chapter 437: The Military Treatise and Sword Gorge!

"Let's leave Six Dust Temple aside for now."

"The Eight Demons are hiding in Green Conch Ravine, and the Snow Mountain Great Array they rely on for their hiding place is set up with the 'Snow-Soul Pearl' as its base. This treasure is precious. Junior brother, quickly take it so that we can go to the underground palace in Green Conch Ravine and eliminate the remaining demons!"

Lu Qingfeng made the greatest contribution in this battle, and the most precious item left behind by the Eight Demons is the 'Snow-Soul Pearl,' which should belong to Lu Qingfeng.

Although Daoist Bingyi was envious, he was reasonable and did not covet it.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Lu Qingfeng thanked him.

They then followed the trail of the great formation to find the location of the Snow-Soul Pearl.

Without the Eight Devil Master, the Snow Mountain Great Array operates automatically, losing 80% of its mysteries.

In no time, Lu Qingfeng found the location of the array base.

Rumble!

Deep within a mountain peak, it was blasted open, revealing countless talismans. Among them was a fist-sized, ice-crystal-like bead. Even through the talisman, one could feel an icy chill emanating from it.

It subtly stirs up the True Essence and Law Power within the human body.

That's really impressive!

"This is the Snow-Soul Pearl."

Lu Qingfeng dared not be careless. Holding the Iron Centipede Bamboo Staff, twelve Iron-Wire Centipedes flew out and circled around the Snow-Soul Pearl. Together they set up a great formation, and with a series of booming sounds from all directions, the Snow-Soul Pearl was pulled out of the Snow Mountain Great Array.

At that time.

In the vast Green Conch Ravine, countless valleys have collapsed and snow-capped mountains have roared.

Standing in Green Conch Ravine, the Snow Mountain Great Array that the Green Conch Eight Demons relied on for hiding collapsed on the spot.

"My darling."

Lu Qingfeng stared at the Snow-Soul Pearl, feeling the boundless power of icy snow and rain within, and a look of joy appeared on his face. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and cast countless talismans to seal it, waiting to refine it later.

Daoist Bingyi, standing nearby, also looked on with envy. "This Snow-Soul Pearl is a rare treasure. Back then, the Arctic Snow Domain Snow Mountain Ancestor Wei Fengniang used the 'Earth-Piercing Divine Needles' to break through the Stormwave Valley Whistling Wind Mountain, descending seven thousand three hundred feet to retrieve Snow-Soul Pearl formed from the essence of ten Ten-Thousand-Year Ice-Snow Essence from an underground cave. With this, she cultivated and achieved the 'Snow Mountain Great Method,' becoming invincible in the Arctic Snow Domain."

"Over the next thousand years, Wei Fengniang continued her cultivation while searching for the Snow-Soul Pearl. Surprisingly, she found another Snow-Soul Pearl on the main peak of No-Return Mountain in the Arctic Snow Domain Region. Using the second 'Earth-Piercing Divine Needles,' she ventured deep into the snow cave to retrieve the treasure. The renowned Immortal Aunt Deng of the Arctic Snow Domain learned of this and secretly lay in wait, sealing the snow cave with her great magic. However, Wei Fengniang was prepared and managed to break the seal, severely injuring Immortal Aunt Deng."

Fortunately.

"Wei Fengniang suffered countless hardships and cold in the snow cave, which damaged her very foundation. While she was in seclusion to cultivate and recuperate, she was ambushed by the eight demons under her command before she could refine the second Snow-Soul Pearl, and she almost died. Although she survived because of the profound Snow Mountain Great Method, all her treasures were taken away by the eight demons."

"Among all the treasures, there is this Snow-Soul Pearl."

Daoist Bingyi, wanting to get closer to Lu Qingfeng Lu Qingfeng, went into more depth and detail about what he had said three days ago when introducing the Eight Demons.

As he spoke, looking at the Snow-Soul Pearl in Lu Qingfeng's hand, Daoist Bingyi shook his head and said, "Actually, it's fortunate that the Snow-Soul Pearl was stolen by the Eight Demons. The Eight Demons were incapable of refining it and had no method for refining treasures, so they could only use it to set up the Snow Mountain Great Array for protection. If it had remained in Wei Fengniang's hands, and she had refined this second Snow-Soul Pearl, who knows what level her 'Snow Mountain Great Method' would have reached? She would probably be one of the top experts in the world outside the Arctic Snow Domain, and that would have been a real disaster!"

As Daoist Bingyi spoke with Lu Qingfeng, the two hurried toward the Green Conch Ravine Palace.

En route.

Daoist Bingyi then said to Lu Qingfeng, "The Eight Demons are ultimately just roughnecks, and their Cultivation Method are all rather rudimentary. My Myriad Beasts Immortal Mountain has countless methods, and there are no fewer than a handful of methods that can refine this 'Snow-Soul Pearl.' Junior Brother, you can rest assured. There should also be methods to refine treasures with it. However, the Snow-Soul Pearl is rare. If it is used to improve cultivation, it will benefit the soul, body, and Law Power. Simply refining it into a treasure is really not worthwhile."

Daoist Bingyi spoke, his gaze fell on the Iron Centipede Bamboo Staff in Lu Qingfeng's hand, and his expression was somewhat strange.

Obviously.

Lu Qingfeng has a history of 'wasting' the Iron-Wire Centipedes. Daoist Bingyi was worried that Lu Qingfeng would do the same 'stupid' thing again and use the Snow-Soul Pearl for refining treasures, so he couldn't help but speak up to remind him.

"Thank you for the reminder, senior brother."

"I was just worried about what to do with this Snow-Soul Pearl, but now I can rest assured."

Lu Qingfeng, observing the situation, put away the Iron Centipede Bamboo Staff, not wanting to provoke Daoist Bingyi, and responded in agreement.

A treasure as precious as the Snow-Soul Pearl, if refined into Law Artifact, would undoubtedly possess considerable power.

However, cultivation is fundamental, and Lu Qingfeng would not put the cart before the horse. As for the methods to refine the Snow-Soul Pearl, he had more than thirty or fifty of them.

However, Lu Qingfeng would naturally not refuse the opportunity to obtain the method from the Myriad Beasts Immortal Mountain.

The two fled.

They quickly located the underground palace in Green Conch Ravine.

The Green Conch Eight Demons, centered around Green Conch Ravine, gathered a group of Devil Cultivator and wreaked havoc across the three regions. This time, in addition to slaying the eight demons, the demonic followers among them must also be dealt with to prevent them from causing further harm.

The Green Conch Eight Demons are gone.

The Green Conch Devil Palace was utterly vulnerable.

Less than an hour later.

Lu Qingfeng and Daoist Bingyi slaughtered most of the Devil Cultivator hiding in various parts of the underground palace. The remaining scattered ones were no longer a threat. After sweeping through the underground palace and taking all the treasures, the two left Green Conch Ravine.

From then on.

The Green Conch Devil Palace, which had dominated the area for many years, collapsed and disappeared from the world after the Green Conch Eight Demons were beheaded.

As for the various treasures on the Eight Demons—

Among them, the useful magical Law Artifact, weapons, Snow-Soul Pearl, and even the corpses fell into the hands of Lu Qingfeng and Daoist Bingyi. Apart from a portion of the treasures in the underground palace, the remaining precious items were all in the Mustard Seed Space opened up by the Eight Demons.

Slay the eight demons.

After returning, by following the principles of cause and effect, a little calculation can reveal the location of this mustard seed space. Without the Eight Devil Master or providing defense, the Mustard Seed Space is completely undefended, making calculation and opening it easy.

Myriad Beasts Immortal Mountain.

This is the first immortal gate of Biyang Lake, the foremost of the righteous paths across a territory of 36 million li. The mountain gate is located in the Biyang Lake, on the Chengyang River.

It is called Xiling Gorge.

The scenery within the gorge is magnificent and spectacular, with towering peaks on both sides, forming sheer cliffs along the river. Deep ridges and precipices jut out into the distance, with jagged rocks, cascading waterfalls, and ancient trees and vines that block out the sun.

The canyon encompasses smaller canyons, creating a rare and magnificent landscape amidst the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers.

Outside the Xiling Gorge.

Lu Qingfeng gazed upon the majestic and magnificent Xiling Gorge, listening to the rushing water and the cascading waterfalls, feeling a sense of exhilaration. He couldn't help but recall his experience of starting from Blackwood Village and traveling down the Chengyang River.

At that time, I felt that the canyons of the Chengyang River were extremely dangerous and almost became the burial place for the three siblings.

However, compared to the Xiling Gorge before us, it is truly insignificant.

"The Xiling Gorge stretches for 90,000 li along the river. The Waterbreaker Gorge, the Military Tome and Treasure Sword Gorge, the Rice Granary Gorge, the White Dog Gorge, the Mountain-Quelling Gorge, the Ox Liver and Horse Lung Gorge, and so on, are all wonders within the gorge, each with its own unique charm."

"Junior brother, you're new here, so please take your time to explore."

Seeing Lu Qingfeng lost in thought, Daoist Bingyi spoke aloud.

Lu Qingfeng looked ahead, but could not see anything in the distance. However, there was a gorge ahead.

Hidden in the crevices of the steep cliffs on the north bank of the canyon is something that looks like a scroll, resembling a military treatise, containing profound Xuanji. Upon seeing it, one can almost hear the sounds of clashing swords and galloping horses.

Close your eyes.

Tap tap tap!

Iron horses and icy rivers appear, falling into my dreams.

Vast and mighty, with unparalleled killing power, its boundless energy washes over the soul and mind. If an ordinary Spirit Void Cultivator were to watch for a long time, their soul would be damaged and their mind would be disoriented.

Lu Qingfeng's soul was powerful, no less than that of Golden Core cultivator or even Spirit-Nourishing Realm cultivator, so he was unharmed.

On the contrary, being affected by this energy has a tempering effect.

Practicing here for a long time will surely make one's spirit and soul more refined.

Lu Qingfeng regained his composure.

Keep watching.

Xuanji mysterious "Military Tome Stone," a strange rock, thick at the top and tapering to a point, with countless mysterious patterns, rises vertically into the river, resembling a bas-relief of a precious sword.

It's as if it cleaved the canyon in two, cutting right through it.

Lu Qingfeng saw it.

I felt an endless sword intent coming towards me. Upon closer inspection, I realized that the iron horse was treading on the icy river, and on it, a knight wielding a sharp blade, carrying endless Sword Qi, was charging fiercely towards me.

A series of Sword Qi converged.

Lu Qingfeng counted them carefully; there were a thousand, and they all seemed familiar.

A flood of memories swirls in my mind.

He immediately realized that this thousand Sword Qi were quite similar to the sword formation used by Daoist Bingyi and Daoist Guyue in Green Conch Ravine. However, these two had cultivated their swordsmanship to an unfathomable level, reaching a level of profound skill.

Based on the foundation of a thousand Sword Qi, advance bravely and diligently.

The former can gather and Fusion a thousand Sword Qi into seven Sword Qi, setting up the Northern Dipper Mystic Radiance Sword Formation.

The latter transformed into three Sword Qi, capable of forming the Invincible Three Powers Sword Formation, surpassing even the Daoist Bingyi in both power and mystery.

"I wonder what level it would be if a thousand Sword Qi were to merge into one, and what kind of power it would possess."

Lu Qingfeng looked over.

A thousand Sword Qi gave rise to countless variations, seemingly forming an array, yet also appearing to merge with each other. However, at first glance, the myriad threads seemed to have no clear direction.

If he were given the opportunity to observe carefully, perhaps he could achieve something over decades or centuries.

However, this place is the location of the entrance to the Myriad Beasts Immortal Mountain.

Given his current status, he could certainly observe if he so desired. However, if he weren't a cultivator from the Myriad Beasts Immortal Mountain, with such a treasure trove before him, he probably wouldn't be able to stand atop the Myriad Beasts Immortal Mountain gate and freely comprehend its Xuanji.

It seems that anyone can observe and understand it from afar, but in reality, there is no need to worry about outsiders spying on it.

"Treasure Sword Stone".

As Lu Qingfeng watched, he couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of nature and the profound foundation of the immortal sects.

To possess such a precious land.

He had only just arrived, yet he had already witnessed such a place brimming with profound wonders. It was truly unimaginable how many more secret places the Myriad Beasts Immortal Mountain might hide in the shadows, unknown to anyone else.

When Daoist Bingyi recruited him on Blazing Fire Isle, he promised that he could freely enter any cultivation secret realm, but it is unknown whether this canyon was included.

"This is the Military Tome and Treasure Sword Gorge."

"The Military Tome Stone and the Treasure Sword Stone each contain Xuanji. If you are interested, Junior Brother, you can go to the gorge to cultivate after you have met Gu Yue. The Military Tome Stone contains the True Intention of battle formations and killing techniques, while the Treasure Sword Stone contains the 'Thousand Mechanisms Sword Dao.' Both are top-tier inheritances that are hard to find in the outside world."

Daoist Bingyi pointed to the Military Tome and Treasure Sword Gorge and said to Lu Qingfeng.

"Cultivation is not urgent; we should first pay our respects to Senior Gu Yue."

"Please lead the way, senior brother."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng felt relieved and withdrew his gaze.
