If the Master Won't Teach Me, I'll Slaughter Every Last Soul in Six Dust Temple!
Ao Le's face was a little pale, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead, whether from exertion or pain, it was hard to tell.
He walked a few steps to Lu Qingfeng and said with some joy, "This 'Dragon-Leaping Gate' is indeed a treasure of the True Dragon Clan. I have now integrated my Primordial Spirit, physical body, and Dharma Form."
If the Mourning River Dragon-Transformation Pool is considered the ultimate treasure for the Dragon Race's cultivation.
Then the West Sea Dragon-Gate Leap is the ultimate treasure for the Dragon Race to break through.
Once you overcome a hurdle, you achieve a breakthrough.
The only difference is whether it's breaking through a major hurdle or a minor one.
Ao Le Dragon-Leaping Gate, and indeed made a breakthrough. The first hurdle of Primordial Spirit Fusion Stage, which had troubled him for nearly 20,000 years, was crossed in an instant. No wonder the treasures of the West Sea were so precious, and no wonder Ao Le was so happy at this moment.
Only--
"In the end, he failed to break through the final barrier and did not become True Immortal."
Lu Qingfeng reached out and wiped the sweat from Ao Le's face, combing her hair, but sighed inwardly.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to sigh or feel fortunate.
"I have seen the Dragon Transformation Pool and the Nine Dragons Seal."
"Dragon-Leaping Gate and the other two originate from the same source and their power is not much different. I hope that when Le'er leaps over the Dragon Gate, he can successively cross the thresholds of the unity of the Primordial Spirit, the physical body, and the Dharma Form, and make great progress in his cultivation and the choice of his path."
But now it seems—
Lu Qingfeng looked at Ao Le.
He has been inseparable from Ao Le all these years, and now that he himself has become True Immortal, he probably understands Ao Le's cultivation progress better than Ao Le himself.
It is true that Ao Le's cultivation level has made a breakthrough thanks to the Dragon-Leaping Gate Leap.
But they barely made it past the first hurdle.
Although he had not yet achieved True Immortal immortality, Lu Qingfeng's previous theft of three treasures had indeed become a safe choice.
"I have disappointed my husband."
"My husband risked his life to obtain the Dragon-Leaping Gate, Le'er dull-witted, still failed to cultivate into True Immortal."
Ao Le pursed her lips, but a deep sorrow lingered between her brows. She reached out and tightly grasped the large hand that was stroking her hair.
Deep down, she longed to ascend to the level of True Immortal, and even to become Changsheng immortal Earth Immortal, so that she could stay with Lu Qingfeng forever.
Unfortunately, I am not blessed with good fortune and am dull-witted.
Even though Lu Qingfeng risked everything to seize the Dragon-Leaping Gate from the West Sea, it couldn't help her break through.
As a result, they offended the West Sea for nothing.
"It's alright."
"If I can't leap over the Dragon-Leaping Gate, I have other methods."
Lu Qingfeng grasped Ao Le's hand in return, a slight smile on his face.
Upon hearing this, Ao Le hesitated and asked, "What method?"
Then, as if remembering something, she quickly said, "Even the West Sea Dragon-Gate Leap couldn't help me break through, so other treasures are useless. Husband, please don't risk your life for me anymore."
Ao Le's heart pounded when he thought of how Lu Qingfeng had taken the 'Dragon Transformation Pool' from the West Sea without consulting him half a year ago.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't worry, there's no need to take any more risks."
"That's good."
Upon hearing this, Ao Le breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next moment, Lu Qingfeng waved his sleeve, and a cup landed on the Blood Sea. It swelled in the wind, reaching a size of tens of miles before stopping.
Floating on the Blood Sea.
Ao Le examined it closely.
This is no cup or saucer; it is clearly the 'Dragon Transformation Pool' in the Dragon Transformation Hall of the Sorrow River.
"This--"
Ao Le's eyes widened, then she quickly came to her senses and glared angrily at Lu Qingfeng, saying, "My husband not only took the West Sea Dragon-Gate Leap, but also the Mourning River Dragon-Transformation Pool!?"
When Lu Qingfeng stole the three treasures and returned to the East Sinking Continent, he only told Ao Le that he had gone to the West Sea to get the 'Leaping Dragon Dragon-Leaping Gate'. As for the details of the Sorrow River, the East Sea, and even his battles with the three Earth Immortal Dragon Ancestors, he didn't mention a word.
Ao Le had witnessed Lu Qingfeng infiltrate the West Sea and bring her mother back.
Therefore, there was no doubt.
Who would have thought—
"When I went to the West Sea to retrieve the 'Dragon-Leaping Gate', I also made a side trip to the Sorrow River and the East Sea."
Lu Qingfeng smiled apologetically, trying to appease the somewhat annoyed Ao Le.
"On the way?"
Ao Le was both angry and amused.
The West Sea is in the north, East Sinking Continent is in the south, while the Sorrow River and the East Sea are both east of the West Sea. What kind of logic is this?
She looked at Lu Qingfeng, and seeing her husband smiling nonchalantly, her heart ached. "Husband—"
My nose feels sore and dry.
Thinking about all that Lu Qingfeng had done for her over the years, she was speechless for a moment.
Lu Qingfeng smiled and reassured him, "Stealing from one place is stealing, stealing from three places is still stealing. Don't worry, I have the 'Invisibility Technique' and the 'Invert-Grand-Void Glazed Wall.' The strongest in the Three Dragon Palaces is only the Earth Immortal Dragon Ancestor, so they will never be able to find my trace."
These words were, of course, merely meant to appease Ao Le.
Lu Qingfeng knew clearly in his heart—
"Even though the Thirty-Six Layers of the 'Invert-Grand-Void Glazed Wall' concealed the secrets of heaven after I stole the three treasures, if the Three Dragon Palaces investigate carefully and deduce the clues, it's only a matter of time before they find me."
The Invert-Grand-Void Glazed Wall is powerful; at the thirty-sixth level of cultivation, it can even conceal all detection from the mortal realm. However, for the Three Dragon Palaces and the three influential Dragon Ancestors, it is at best the fastest way to trace their origins by severing the secrets of heaven and making deductions.
In the mortal world.
Ordinary people are unaware of the secrets of heaven and have no Divine Ability, yet they can unravel the truth from the slightest clues and the most tangled mess.
The same applies to the world of spiritual cultivation.
Unless Lu Qingfeng had left no trace beforehand, preventing the Three Dragon Palaces from gathering any information and finding no trace of him.
Otherwise, if the path of divination through celestial secrets is cut off, the Three Dragon Palaces still have other methods.
However, given the vastness of heaven and earth and the relentless flow of time, it would take considerable effort to pinpoint Lu Qingfeng through the slightest clues within this boundless expanse of heaven and earth and the ceaseless river of time.
What Lu Qingfeng needed was precisely this time for hard work.
However, there was no need to tell Ao Le about these worries, as it would only add to her burden and delay her cultivation.
Ao Le listened, her brows still furrowed, clearly not entirely convinced, and said worriedly, "The Dragon Leap Dragon-Leaping Gate, the Dragon Transformation Pool, and the Nine Dragons Seal are the three great treasures of the Dragon Race, and are extremely precious to the West Sea, the Sorrow River, and the East Sea. Now that my husband has forcibly taken them all, the Three Dragon Palaces will definitely not let it go."
"And."
"If I wanted to borrow the Dragon Transformation Pool and the Nine Dragons Seal, I wouldn't need to take such a risk; I could just come to their door openly."
At this time, she was unaware that the three treasures could still Fusion.
My doubts only deepened—
She had used the Dragon Transformation Pool and the Nine Dragons Seal for cultivation before. Now that Dragon-Leaping Gate is useless, what use would decades of cultivation be, even if she gained the other two treasures?
Could it be that he could break through to the realm of True Immortal?
Lu Qingfeng saw through Ao Le's thoughts and said, "The Dragon Transformation Pool, the Dragon-Leaping Gate, and the Nine Dragons Seal were originally one. Now I have taken them all together. As long as we Fusion them together and restore their original appearance, their power and mystery will surely increase greatly, enough to help you break through to the True Immortal realm."
"This--"
Ao Le felt a little dizzy. "Could there be other dangers?"
Her mind was a little Chaos.
First came the Dragon-Leaping Gate, then the Dragon Transformation Pool and the Nine Dragons Seal, and now they're talking about Fusion the three sects' treasures. Although Ao Le is Primordial Spirit cultivator, he doesn't know much about these things.
"The Blood Sea is enough to conceal the extraordinary phenomena of True Immortal, and there is absolutely no danger."
Lu Qingfeng said with certainty.
Seeing that Ao Le didn't believe him, he added, "Don't forget, I have great Merit. Even if Earth Immortal came here, he wouldn't dare to kill me. Besides, I also have the Out-of-Body Avatar Technique. If you want to kill me, even three or five Earth Immortal wouldn't be enough."
Lu Qingfeng spoke with boundless pride.
That is indeed the case.
Merit Radiance.
External Incarnation.
Even within his External Incarnation lies an immortal, indestructible Blood-Sea Doppelganger. Throughout the entire world, in the Immortal Qin Realm, it would be truly difficult to find anyone capable of killing him.
At most, they'll be universally hated and attacked.
But as long as Ao Le can break through, even if the whole world becomes his enemy and everyone wants to kill him, why would Lu Qingfeng care?!
"Alright."
"You've just broken through, and it took a lot of energy. You should rest and recuperate in the 'Dragon Transformation Pool' for a while until you're in peak condition. Then I will Fusion the three supreme treasures with you. At that time, it will definitely help you break through!"
Lu Qingfeng comforted Ao Le.
Leaping over the Dragon-Leaping Gate consumes one's foundation, but it helps in achieving a breakthrough.
The Dragon Transformation Pool is a treasure for nurturing the dragon's body and accumulating its essence.
The two were originally complementary, but unfortunately they were occupied by the Sorrow River and the West Sea respectively, each with its own limitations. Now that they are both in Lu Qingfeng's hands, they are just what he needs.
Ao Le knew Lu Qingfeng's temperament, and also felt that what Lu Qingfeng said made sense.
Merit Radiance.
External Incarnation.
With double protection, even Earth Immortal would be helpless against it.
"I will listen to my husband."
She lightly kissed Lu Qingfeng's cheek, her face slightly flushed, Ao Le true form, landing in the Dragon Transformation Pool.
Calmly recuperate and recover from the damage inflicted during the breakthrough.
She calmed herself down, determined to break through to the True Immortal, unwilling to let Lu Qingfeng's efforts be in vain. She also longed to stay with Lu Qingfeng forever, never to be separated from him.
Lu Qingfeng felt the coolness on his face and couldn't help but smile.
Seeing Ao Le meditating in the pond, he also went to the side and sat down cross-legged. He closed his eyes and focused his mind, but his energy was directed towards reality.
Three Mountains and Nine Rivers.
There is a Spirit Mountain, where thousands of precious temples are located, and the Buddha's light shines everywhere.
This day.
A figure swept across the world.
All around, one could see rare flowers, precious herbs, ancient cypresses, and evergreen pines growing on the Spirit Mountain.
Wherever he went, every household became virtuous and offered alms to monks. Whenever people practiced meditation at the foot of the mountain, he would see travelers chanting scriptures in the forest.
His figure moved extremely fast.
Not long after.
Then they saw a magnificent temple.
Soaring hundreds of feet into the sky, towering above the heavens.
I bow my head to watch the setting sun, and reach out to pluck a shooting star. A spacious window frames the universe, while towering buildings connect like a screen. The Yellow Crane brings news of autumn's aging trees, and the colorful phoenix delivers a letter in the clear evening breeze.
This is a sacred palace, a magnificent hall, a jeweled pavilion. In the hall of truth, the Dao is discussed, and the scriptures of the universe are transmitted. Flowers bloom beautifully with the arrival of spring, and pines stand green after the rain. Purple fungus and celestial fruits flourish year after year, and the crimson wind carries a myriad of spiritual influences.
Above the temple, three large characters were inscribed—
"Six Dust Temple!"
Lu Qingfeng looked up and took a step, arriving at a Spirit Mountain behind the temple.
"End Mountain Du Tian the mountains, I have come to pay my respects to Master Zhenhui."
Lu Qingfeng cupped his hands in a respectful bow and addressed the Spirit Mountain in a loud voice.
From the Spirit Mountain.
An elderly monk, tall and kind-faced, dressed in monastic robes and holding a staff, slowly walked out, stood before the mountain, clasped his hands together in front of Lu Qingfeng, and loudly proclaimed the Buddha's name, "Amitabha Buddha. Benefactor Du Tian has come from afar. This old monk has failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me."
This old monk was none other than Master Zhenhui, one of the six great monks of Six Dust Temple.
Master Zhenhui looked at Lu Qingfeng. Despite years of practicing Buddhism, he remained calm and composed. If it were an ordinary person, even a renowned Nascent Primordial Spirit cultivator, they would be terrified and their hearts would tremble upon seeing this Demon Dao giant who had slaughtered the entire Azurewood Valley five hundred years ago.
"It was my presumption that led me to be so abrupt."
Lu Qingfeng had a good impression of the eminent monks of Six Dust Temple.
In the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, most cultivators strive for fame and fortune, and those who uphold justice and vanquish demons are ultimately a minority. However, many eminent monks of Six Dust Temple genuinely travel far and wide, performing good deeds and converting demons.
"Judging by actions, not intentions, there are few perfect people throughout history."
Regardless of the inherent compassion.
It's still for the sake of Buddhist practice.
They saved many mortals and eliminated many demons, so they deserve respect.
"I wonder what brings you here, Benefactor Du Tian?" Master Zhenhui asked.
Lu Qingfeng did not respond immediately.
With a flick of his sleeve, one person fell to the ground.
This woman had a beautiful figure and an icy expression; she was a stunningly beautiful woman, like ice. At this moment, however, they were all bound and lying on the ground, unable to move, looking quite pathetic.
"Feng Niang?"
When Master Zhenhui saw this person, his usually calm and composed expression finally stirred.
A Heart Movement.
Master Zhenhui possessed profound Buddhist knowledge, yet he harbored deep-seated obsessions, preventing him from achieving enlightenment. His wicked disciple, the Snow Mountain Ancestor, was the source of these obsessions.
"I have heard that the Snow Mountain Ancestor, Wei Fengniang, was once a disciple of the Master, but she went mad and led demons to ambush the Master, stealing his treasures. She then fled to the Arctic Snow Domain and transformed into a demon, causing havoc in the area."
"Today we have captured this demon and will await your judgment, Master."
Lu Qingfeng pointed at the beautiful woman on the ground and said to Master Zhenhui.
This Snow Mountain Ancestor is a legendary figure in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, and a top demon who reigns supreme in the Arctic Snow Domain.
He was a disciple of Master Zhenhui of Six Dust Temple, but unexpectedly, due to a love tribulation, he attracted demons to ambush Master Zhenhui, causing Master Zhenhui to be seriously injured. In doing so, he stole three Earth-Piercing Divine Needles. He then used the Earth-Piercing Divine Needles to obtain the Snow-Soul Pearl, which was formed from the essence of ten thousand years of accumulated snow from the depths of the Arctic Snow Domain, and finally mastered the Snow Mountain Great Method.
Because he is proficient in both Buddhist and demonic paths, and also has the advantage of the Arctic Snow Domain, he is extremely difficult to deal with.
The monks of Six Dust Temple tried to subdue him several times, but failed.
They considered it a disgrace to Six Dust Temple.
Lu Qingfeng recently took a trip to the Arctic Snow Domain and easily captured the arrogant Snow Mountain Ancestor, then brought him to the Six Dust Temple.
"Snort!"
"Six Dust Temple prides itself on being an ancient Buddhist Sect and a leader of the righteous path, but unexpectedly it has secretly colluded with the demon king of the East Sea."
The Snow Mountain Ancestor remained on the ground, but looked up at Lu Qingfeng and Master Zhenhui, letting out a cold snort and making sarcastic remarks.
Lu Qingfeng ignored him.
Amitabha Buddha!
Master Zhenhui clasped his hands together, ignoring the shouts of the Snow Mountain Ancestor, and bowed to Lu Qingfeng in Buddhist salutation, sighing, "In the past, it was because this old monk failed to teach his disciples properly that his wicked disciple caused such trouble."
He said.
With a sorrowful expression, he said in a long voice, "From today onwards, this old monk will suppress this wicked disciple at the Six Dust Temple, and will chant Buddhist scriptures to convert him day and night, determined to dissolve the malevolent energy in his body and wash away his sins!"
"Master, you are merciful."
Lu Qingfeng praised.
In his mind, dealing with a demon like the Snow Mountain Ancestor was simply a matter of killing him. But from the Buddhist Sect perspective, it's about "laying down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot." This Buddhist verse perfectly encapsulates the True Intention of Buddhism.
The profound implications are far beyond Lu Qingfeng's current comprehension.
He didn't agree with it on a literal level.
Don't dwell on it.
Lu Qingfeng looked at Master Zhenhui and got to the point, "I have heard that Six Dust Temple has a supreme Dharma called the 'Small Wheel Three Vehicles Wondrous Manifestation Miaofa.' I have come here specifically to seek this Dharma. I humbly request the Master's compassion to bestow this Miaofa upon me."
Lu Qingfeng's expression was sincere, but his eyes were firm.
He had long heard of the profound and mysterious magic technique within the Six Dust Temple. Even years ago, the Daoist Bingyi of the Myriad Beasts Immortal Mountain Daoist Bingyi Mountain, who was stuck in the Spirit-Nourishing Realm, had used the favor of eliminating the Green Conch Eight Demons to ask Master Zhenhui to perform this great technique. In just thirty years, he had advanced from the Spirit-Nourishing Realm to the Spirit Transformation Peak.
More than 500 years have passed.
He has even reached the Out-of-Body Realm.
The progress has been remarkably rapid.
Lu Qingfeng sought countless Secret Method in the Immortal Qin Realm. He also searched in the real world, having long kept an eye on the Six Dust Temple. However, he knew his strength was still a level below the required level. If he rashly went to their door and was refused entry, and the only one who possessed this technique, Master Zhenhui, vanished into thin air, he would inevitably feel regret.
To be on the safe side, Lu Qingfeng only came to his door recently.
He had also heard that although this method was profound, it had some potential drawbacks. Lu Qingfeng was unwilling to use it lightly until the very last step.
I have come here seeking the Dharma.
It's just for an extra layer of insurance.
"This is the fundamental Dharma of my Six Dust Temple. It is not easily transmitted, much less spread outside. Please forgive this old monk—"
Master Zhenhui was startled, his face grew even more sorrowful, and he opened his mouth to refuse.
But then the demon in front of him slowly said, "If the master does not impart the Dharma, I will slaughter the entire Six Dust Temple. The Buddha's teachings are compassionate, and all Dharma teachings are external things. Compared with the lives of a temple, which is more important, the master knows in his heart."
Lu Qingfeng looked up.
His eyes were filled with a frenzied killing intent.
The wondrous Miaofa of the Three Vehicles, arising from the small wheel of the Buddhist Sect!
He was determined to win!
Amitabha Buddha!
Master Zhenhui's face was filled with extreme sorrow. When he met the demon's eyes, he knew it was no exaggeration. Recalling Azurewood Valley, which alarmed the patriarch of the upper realm and required his personal intervention, yet still resulted in the complete annihilation of the entire sect, he knew in his heart that this demon could do what he said.
He dared not refuse and had no choice but to reveal the method.
[Technique Method: The Wondrous Manifestation Miaofa of the Three Vehicles of the Lesser Wheel of the Buddhist Sect]
[Grade: Transcendent Grade]
[Explanation: This method encompasses the entire universe within a single ring, where form arises from emptiness, and reality is derived from illusion. The subtlety and inconceivability of Buddhist teachings allow the recipient to undergo a brief rebirth, experiencing all three future lives. Within this life, one makes a grand vow, which is then cultivated in future lives. All karmic consequences are first experienced through illusion. Upon future growth, the accumulated merits from those illusions are then re-practiculated. While the blessings of this life are entirely due to the cultivation of previous lives, this method reverses cause and effect, inverting the order of events, allowing the practitioner to first attain immortality and complete their accumulated merits. This is Transcendent Grade method, enabling one to experience one lifetime of reincarnation.]
"Thank you Master Zhenhui!"
Having verified the authentic Dharma, Lu Qingfeng did not linger for a moment. He bowed to Master Zhenhui in gratitude and then turned and left Six Dust Temple.
Amitabha Buddha!
May you cultivate compassion soon!
Master Zhenhui's melodious voice reached Lu Qingfeng's ears.
Lu Qingfeng chuckled softly and vanished into thin air.
