500. The Eighteenth Life: Pure Great Sage!
Yellow Wind Ridge.
The celestial phenomena appeared quickly and disappeared just as fast. Before long, the clouds and fog dispersed, the thunder and lightning vanished, and the wind subsided and the rain ceased.
Heaven and earth returned to peace.
Lingzhong.
The stream flows far and wide, crashing against the stone wall; the mountain spring drips gently, spreading across the sandy embankment.
Wild clouds drift by, and jade-like grasses grow luxuriantly.
Before the entrance to a cave, green pines and bamboos stand side by side, with a single green bamboo stalk in the center.
Splash!
The swaying branches and leaves rustled, all showing joy.
Swaying.
When the clouds and mist in the sky cleared, the Green Bamboo sprang up from the ground and leaped out.
Whoosh!
Amidst the howling wind.
It changed in mid-air, instantly transforming its appearance—
He looked like a five or six-year-old child, with a face as white as jade, rosy and fair skin, and a complexion that was fair with a rosy tint. He wore a green bamboo-patterned robe, was barefoot, and looked very spirited.
Although small in stature, he was upright and serene, exuding a Daoist and Zen-like aura.
He held a Green Bamboo in his hand.
One glance is enough to tell it's extraordinary.
He flipped and tumbled in the air, landing barefoot on the ground—truly a nimble and agile child.
"After 16,000 years, it finally took shape!"
Lu Qingfeng landed on the ground, raised his hand to grab his arm, and saw that his arms and legs were small, his body was less than two feet six inches tall, and he was pink and tender, quite childish.
Seeing this appearance.
Even Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but feel a bit amused and exasperated.
The Pure Law Bamboo takes three thousand years to complete one year. He has lived for sixteen thousand years now, and if he were to take human form, he would look about five or six years old.
"If Le'er saw me like this, she would probably laugh at me."
Lu Qingfeng looked distressed.
Thinking of Ao Le, even the joy of achieving True Immortal again in his heart was shattered. Recalling the past, he was filled with many emotions, and the longing was too painful.
You are dead. You have suffered the consequences and cannot be resurrected.

[Congratulations, player! You have been reincarnated and are now located in Black Wind Mountain, Continent of Southern Jambudvipa, in the Earth Immortal Realm. You have become 'Pure Law Bamboo'.]
Sixteen thousand years ago.
Lu Qingfeng perished in the Immortal Qin Realm, intending to continue reincarnating Immortal Qin Realm, and even asked Ao Le to meet him outside the Rebirth Pool sixteen years later.
Unexpectedly, perhaps due to the karmic connection of his Merit Radiance merits, the system rewarded him with a fortuitous opportunity. Regardless of Lu Qingfeng's consent, it bestowed it directly and randomly reincarnated him into the magnificent Earth Immortal Realm.
It became a 'Pure Law Bamboo'.
Lu Qingfeng longed to return to the Immortal Qin Realm, but he knew that in a world as vast as the sands of the Ganges, the hope of randomly reincarnating back was extremely slim. So he could only suppress his longing and his worry for Ao Le, and focus on his cultivation.
If I count on my fingers, this is his eighteenth incarnation.
It's quite rare that they've changed their name.
It was not reincarnated from the Rebirth Pool, nor even a human, but directly became a Pure Law Bamboo in the Black Wind Mountain region of the Earth Immortal Realm.
But.
While still a bamboo shoot, it was bestowed by the master of Black Wind Mountain the Meditating Arhat among the Eighteen Arhats of Western Buddhist Sect.
Speaking of this Meditating Arhat, Lu Qingfeng even had a slight connection with him.
Then.
In his thirteenth life, Lu Qingfeng was reborn in the 'Black Star Realm'. He had heard that this Meditating Arhat had discussed the Dao with Yang Sen, one of the Four Saints of Nine Dragon Island, and each passed down their Dao lineage.
The Great Mount Sumeru that he encountered on Maple Moon Star inherited part of the lineage of the Meditating Arhat.
I just didn't expect it.
The world is full of strange and mysterious things.
After countless lifetimes, he unexpectedly encountered this Arhat in such a way.
Emerging from Black Wind Mountain, it was carefully nurtured by the Meditating Arhat and planted in the courtyard. It was watered day and night with the sacred water of the Eight Treasures Pool, and Buddhist scriptures were chanted beside it all day long.
Although Lu Qingfeng followed the Daoist path, he also benefited greatly from it.
Four thousand years later.
A Green Fox under the seat of the Cloth-Bag Arhat sneaked into the Meditating Arhat Academy Tathagata all the venerable ones were at the Buddha's Dharma assembly, and took Lu Qingfeng with it.
We've arrived at Yellow Wind Ridge.
Lu Qingfeng was concerned about Ao Le. While burying himself in his cultivation, he also used the Mountain Wind and vegetation to inquire about the Earth Immortal Realm and Yellow Wind Ridge.
The Pure Law Bamboo is extraordinary.
To cultivate oneself into an immortal and then take human form is even more difficult.
It has finally Major Merit today, and I am finally able to travel around the world.
"I Merit Radiance of merit, and am blessed with fortuitous opportunity."
Perhaps.
"Is the person behind this intentionally selecting those who have accumulated Merit to enhance their own fortune?"
Lu Qingfeng stood barefoot on the ground, holding Green Bamboo in his hand, pondering the situation.
Even today.
How could he not see that this "Primordial World" was clearly the real Primordial World? And the Interstellar Federation was merely fortuitous opportunity bestowed by a powerful being in the Primordial World, using the form of a 'real online game' to guide them into the Primordial World for cultivation.
Those with such abilities are few and far between, even throughout the entire Primordial World.
Lu Qingfeng guessed all the possibilities, but still couldn't be sure.
But.
With his current cultivation level of only True Immortal, there's no need for him to think about it and needlessly add to his troubles.
It's a pity.
This reincarnation, however, betrayed Ao Le, leaving her to wait in vain in the Immortal Qin Realm.
"Le'er".
Thinking of Ao Le, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh, "After being exiled from the Immortal Qin Realm, there's no way out for Earth Immortal. The Earth Immortal have searched for a path for countless years without success. If Le'er and I don't want to be trapped in the Immortal Qin for the rest of our lives, we'll have to leave sooner or later to find a way to transcend. But—"
Such a sudden reincarnation, without any preparation, leaves Ao Le heartbroken.
Whenever I think about it, I feel worried and sorry for him.
All he wanted was to return to the Immortal Qin Realm as soon as possible.
"The Immortal Qin Realm is hard to find."
We still need to think of a way.
Pulling his thoughts back and burying the beautiful figure deep in his mind, Lu Qingfeng pondered. For the past sixteen thousand years, besides cultivating, he had also been contemplating how to find the Immortal Qin Realm.
I have come up with a few ideas, but I still need to choose the best one or try them one by one.
Fortunately, Ao Le had already become Earth Immortal, free from the worry of lifespan.
Despite his anxiety, Lu Qingfeng didn't lose his composure.
While pondering.
Her small face remained calm.
Suddenly at this moment—
"Ha ha!"
"Congratulations, Third Brother, on attaining True Immortal immortality! From now on, you will live a carefree life!"
Outside the cave entrance, two people seemed to have been watching for a long time.
As soon as Lu Qingfeng transformed into human form, he strode out.
One of them, dressed in a monk's robe, appeared to be a young man. His handsome features carried a touch of allure, captivating both men and women. He seemed to be practicing Buddhist Sect, with a faint glimmer of Buddhist light in his mind, which made his dignified appearance even more solemn.
He kept fiddling with a yellowish-brown bead in his hand.
Seeing Lu Qingfeng's unmoved, 'dazed' appearance, he couldn't help but step forward and pinch Lu Qingfeng's cheek. He then turned to the person beside him and laughed loudly, "The Pure Law Bamboo takes three thousand years to complete one year. My third brother achieved True Immortal in sixteen thousand years, which means he's only five or six years old. He's no less than that famous Great King Saint Infant!"
The person next to him.
A golden helmet gleams in the sun, golden armor gleams. A pheasant-tail plume flutters on the helmet, a pale yellow robe covers the armor. The armor's sash is adorned with a shimmering dragon, the breastplate gleams brilliantly. Deerskin boots, dyed with acacia blossoms; a brocade apron, adorned with willow-leaf patterns. Holding a Three-Pronged Steel Fork, he is imposing and extraordinary.
He looked at Lu Qingfeng and laughed heartily, "Third brother is from the Black Wind Mountain's Little Master's sect. If you were to discuss it in detail, he could be considered a fellow disciple of that Red Boy. If you were to meet him, you would have to call him 'Senior Uncle'."
The Great King Saint Infant was once unruly and arrogant, fortuitous opportunity, he became the third disciple of the leader of the Way of Heaven Sect. He and the young leader of the Way of Heaven Sect who cultivated on Black Wind Mountain were his senior and junior brothers.
Lu Qingfeng comes from Black Wind Mountain, so he doesn't need to be addressed as "Senior Uncle".
"Hey-hey!"
"This Great King Saint Infant lives on Mount Hao, which is quite far away. Don't bother with this cheap senior brother."
The young man in the monk's robe waved his hand, then looked at Lu Qingfeng and said happily, "Third brother has just taken human form and is just thinking of a catchy name."
He said.
His eyes darted around, as if he was trying hard to think.
Lu Qingfeng found it amusing.
This young man in monk's robes is called "Green Fox Demon," and is none other than the current Second King of Yellow Wind Ridge, "Azure Fox Great Sage." In his early years, he was subdued by the Cloth-Bag Arhat, one of the Eighteen Arhats, and imprisoned in Spirit Mountain.
He loves to nap under his body, and the two are practically inseparable.
Even when the Azure Fox Great Sage secretly fled, he took Lu Qingfeng with him and carefully planted him in Yellow Wind Ridge, drawing nourishment from the stars, the earth's veins, and the mountain's Spiritual Qi.
Although he had just taken human form, Lu Qingfeng was already familiar with him.
The Azure Fox Great Sage even regarded him as his closest person, like his own child, and directly called him Third Brother, which showed how close they were.
Seeing that the Azure Fox Great Sage was about to give him a name, Lu Qingfeng knew his childlike nature and dared not let him choose a name randomly, lest it become a laughing stock. He quickly said, "I will call myself 'Qingjing' (meaning 'Pure')."
Her voice was clear and bright, with a touch of childlike innocence. To the ear, it was like pearls falling onto a jade plate, calming the mind and bringing only a sense of Pure and clarity.
"Pure".
In a hurry.
Lu Qingfeng didn't bother with fancy titles.
In this life, he was both the embodiment of the Pure Law Bamboo and the only Pure Law Bamboo in heaven and earth to attain enlightenment, hence the Attainment of the Dao 'Pure', which is concise and clear.
"Pure".
"King of Pure, Pure Great Sage— "
The Azure Fox Great Sage muttered, his face full of disgust, "Earth Difficulty!"
We also need to give Lu Qingfeng a new name.
The golden-armored general chuckled and said, "If my third brother likes to be called 'Pure,' then let him be called 'Pure.'"
As he spoke.
He then bowed to Lu Qingfeng and said, "From this day forward, my third brother will be the 'Pure Great Sage' and the Third King of Yellow Wind Ridge!"
Lu Qingfeng looked at the golden-armored general.
This is the master of Yellow Wind Ridge, residing in Yellow Wind Cave, and known as the 'Great Sage Huangfeng'. His cultivation and abilities are unfathomable, unmatched by anyone in the entire Yellow Wind Ridge.
Even the Azure Fox Great Sage is no match for him.
He tilted his head back and stared wide-eyed, but even then, he couldn't see clearly through the fog.
He nodded vigorously in response, saying, "Pure greets my elder brother and second elder brother."
The Earth Immortal Realm is unlike the mortal world; it is home to many Great Divine Ability beings and countless immortals. The Great Sage Huangfeng and the Azure Fox Great Sage, when considered within the entire Primordial World, are certainly not among the top ranks.
However, within and outside Yellow Wind Ridge, he is an absolute overlord. His cultivation level is far beyond what Lu Qingfeng, who is currently only True Immortal, can imagine.
In addition.
Lu Qingfeng had spent a long time with the Azure Fox Great Sage and had grown up in Yellow Wind Ridge for twelve thousand years. He could be said to have been raised under the watchful eyes of these two great demons, so he had no reason to suspect that they would harm him.
The title of the Third King of Yellow Wind Ridge is quite prestigious.
How could Lu Qingfeng possibly refuse?!
"Ha ha!"
"Good!"
"Today, my third brother has taken human form, which is a joyous occasion. Let us raise a Da Bai!"
The Great Sage Huangfeng took a liking to Lu Qingfeng. Seeing the latter's serious and adorable appearance, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The laughter was loud and joyful.
It was full of goodwill.
Meanwhile, the Azure Fox Great Sage smiled strangely, pointed towards the direction outside the mountain, and said in a sinister voice, "Brother, don't be anxious. Two big monks have come to our door, and they won't let us have a peaceful time while we're drinking. We need to deal with them first."
Upon hearing this, the Great Sage Huangfeng also looked outside.
He nodded and said, "That's true."
As he spoke.
He shook his head repeatedly, "These bald Buddhist Sect monks are really troublesome. They must have come at this time of year to spoil the fun for the three of us brothers!"
