Lu Qingyu, Thunder Duke Mountain!

Zhu Yang came and then left.

From then on, he never showed any trace in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers again. Before leaving, he reminded Lu Qingfeng to be careful of Azurewood Valley and Six Dust Temple in the Upper Realm.

Lu Qingfeng was aware of this.

Once he ascends to the upper realm, he will inevitably face siege and suppression from Azurewood Valley.

Furthermore, in order to help Ao Le advance his career, he forcibly seized the Great Law from the Six Dust Temple, which offended the Six Dust Temple. This matter has spread, and even Zhu Yang has heard about it. It is likely that the Six Dust Temple will not let this go so easily.

In the lower realm.

Having learned from the example of Azurewood Valley, Six Dust Temple knew they could do nothing against Lu Qingfeng.

But once they reach the Upper Realm, they'll probably have to deal with Lu Qingfeng.

Fortunately—

"I will not ascend to immortality within the next two or three thousand years."

"Brother, you are now the number one person in the world. You have destroyed Azurewood Valley and can come and go freely from Six Dust Temple. With such cultivation, why not go to the Upper Realm soon?"

Lu Qingshan looked at his elder brother and asked with a hint of surprise.

It is a rumor circulating in the world.

There is Immortal Realm in the heavens, where cultivators can absorb a breath of celestial energy and achieve the equivalent of a hundred years of arduous cultivation. A sip of celestial water can easily allow them to break through three or five realms in succession.

The environment for cultivation is many times better than that of the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers.

In the mortal realm.

Countless cultivators yearn for the Immortal Realm.

With his strength and cultivation, the eldest brother could clearly go to this 'Immortal Realm' to accelerate his own cultivation. Yet he has been delaying his departure and intends to remain in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers for two or three thousand years.

This is truly puzzling.

Lu Qingyu, dressed in white with a long sword at her waist, stood to the side, looking quite dashing. Hearing this, she spoke up confidently, "Is there any need to ask? My elder brother must be worried about our cultivation. It will be within two or three thousand years if we can break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm. After that, our lifespans will run out, and the hope will be slim."

As he spoke.

Lu Qingyu looked at her elder brother, somewhat moved, and said, "Eldest brother has done enough for us. Now, my second brother and I are both Core Formation True Person. Even if eldest brother ascends, he will have the ability to protect himself."

Lu Qingshan nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Over the years, he has been practicing diligently with Qingyu and has been gaining experience in various places.

The mindset can keep up.

With his elder brother Lu Qingfeng around, they have no shortage of various cultivation resources. And when they encounter bottlenecks, they have a powerful figure like Lu Qingfeng to guide them.

It can be said to be uniquely blessed.

After improving Root Bone.

Both Qingshan and Qingyu's cultivation levels were advancing rapidly.

Four hundred years ago.

The former advanced to the level of Slaying External Demons first, Wind-Fire Convergence, condensing the Void Core and achieving the True Person Realm.

Two hundred years ago.

Lu Qingyu also Core Formation stage.

May he live for three thousand years.

And Lu Qingfeng happened to say that he would ascend to heaven in two or three thousand years, no wonder Qingyu made the connection.

You're overthinking it.

Lu Qingfeng chuckled and shook his head, saying, "I've offended Azurewood Valley and Six Dust Temple. For me, the Upper Realm is far more dangerous than the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers. Rather than rushing to ascend, I'd rather raise my cultivation to its limit in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers."

He has only recently ascended to the Primordial Spirit in reality.

Although he possesses Great Divine Ability powers, it's hard to guarantee that there aren't Earth Immortal or earth Celestial Immortal in heaven. These immortals wield Immortal Artifact and possess Divine Ability, making them far beyond Lu Qingfeng's ability to resist.

Although he possesses the "Invert-Grand-Void Glazed Wall" to conceal the secrets of heaven, once he is in the same realm, he is limited by his own realm and cannot guarantee his safety.

It would be better to cultivate to the Primordial Spirit Peak in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers.

Once ascended, one immediately becomes True Immortal.

In this way.

Firstly, his mastery of the "Invert-Grand-Void Glazed Wall" technique has become even stronger.

Secondly, even if they encounter Earth Immortal or Celestial Immortal, they can still escape.

This is the safest approach.

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyu asked with some skepticism, "Big brother, you're not lying to me and second brother, are you?"

"How could that be?"

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

His stay at Sanshang Nine Waters was indeed to improve his cultivation and avoid disaster.

Certainly.

At the same time, being able to stay by their side and guide Qingshan and Qingyu in their cultivation, helping them to achieve their Primordial Spirit as soon as possible, is also a good thing.

"Only."

"I have made too many enemies, which makes me destined to be conspicuous. I need to find a more visible backer for Qingshan and Qingyu."

Lu Qingfeng thought of Azurewood Valley, Six Dust Temple, and the Xun Household True Immortal who was still waiting for him in the Spirit Domain. His thoughts raced, and he made a plan.

In reality.

Lu Qingfeng had long been invincible across the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, dominating the world for over six hundred years.

First, he slaughtered Azurewood Valley and seized the treasure of Old Mother of Mount Gui. Then, he casually captured Snow Mountain Ancestor and intimidated Six Dust Temple.

The name of "Old Devil Du Tian" from the East Sea End Mountain has spread throughout the world.

Both the righteous and the demonic factions feared it like a tiger and dared not provoke it in the slightest.

These years.

While cultivating, Lu Qingfeng also traveled the Astral Fiend realm, searching for places to condense the Ninefold Astral Baleful, and he had already succeeded in doing so. Now he has easily crossed the Golden Core Realm and achieved the Primordial Spirit.

The disciples of End Mountain practiced the 'Nature-Life Dao' and their cultivation progressed rapidly.

In just a few hundred years.

Disciples at the Third Realm, comparable to Core Formation True Person, continued to emerge, gradually gaining momentum, plundering the resources of the entire East Sea, and even occupying the 'Yellow Maple Gorge' where the original Azurewood Valley was located.

The Nine Rivers and Seven Gorges are a first-class Spirit Mountain and wonderful landscape in the world.

To occupy this place.

End Mountain Du Tian Lineage is growing ever stronger.

As Lu Qingfeng traveled the mortal world, he continued his cultivation without interruption. With his Divine Abilities, he encountered countless secret realms, relics, and inheritances.

Relying on Great Divine Ability such as 'Grand Luo Insight', 'Seven Birds Lesser Evolving Numerology', and 'Cloud-Peak Step', he can freely enter and exit even the world's top secret realms set up by array masters at the Primordial Spirit Peak.

Lu Qingfeng looked down on anything—nothing beyond a few inheritances, sixth- or seventh-tier Law Artifact, or elixirs.

After all.

When he was in the Immortal Qin Realm, he was a First-Rank Divine Lord and had collected countless techniques. Unless they were unique and useful Technique Method or Cultivation Method, even Transcendent-Grade Spell and Unorthodox-Grade Cultivation Method were useless to Lu Qingfeng.

Furthermore, the same applies to Law Artifact.

After tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation and countless materials for practice in the "Primordial World," Lu Qingfeng had long since become an eighth-order weapon refiner and an eighth-order Alchemist. Given sufficient materials, he could even refine eighth-order Law Artifact and eighth-order spiritual pills, so why would he care about the magic Law Artifact and pills left behind by the Primordial Spirit cultivators of the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers?

Profound accumulation.

This allows Lu Qingfeng to rapidly improve in reality with just various cultivation resources.

Therefore, he established the End Mountain Du Tian Lineage, sending out all his disciples to collect various resources. He himself, on a whim, would casually use the 'Great Five Ghosts Transportation Method' to empty the demon treasury, cave abode, and even the accumulations in the Mustard Seed Space.

There are occasional breakthroughs.

They even went to the enemy's doorstep, severely injuring or killing the powerful demons who were causing great harm, thus solidifying their combat techniques and learning from the past to understand the present.

This is also one of the reasons why Lu Qingfeng has such a fearsome reputation.

Therefore, he amassed a fortune, enough for him to cultivate with Qingshan and Qingyu.

But--

"I looked down on those ruins before, and Qingshan and Qingyu had no need for their Transcendent-Grade Spell and Unorthodox-Grade Cultivation Method. However, some of them were from ancient times. The Primordial Spirit cultivators who left behind cave abode, ruins, and inheritances have mostly perished after tens or hundreds of thousands of years, but a small number of them have achieved something, becoming either True Immortal or Earth Immortal."

"His cultivation level and status are both quite extraordinary."

A smile appeared on Lu Qingfeng's face, his eyes darting around, and he immediately selected three from among the hundreds of inheritances.

The vast expanse of Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, with even more wondrous places to explore.

This day.

A woman in white, wielding a sharp sword and accompanied by wind and fire, chased after demons and came to a forest.

"Huh?"

Lu Qingyu chased into the forest, and suddenly felt a mist forming in her vision. The forest was tall and the valleys were deep. Once one entered this place, the tall trees were like walking into Eight Trigrams, making it impossible to distinguish east from west, north from south, or find one's way back.

Looking further ahead.

The demons that were just being chased had long since disappeared.

"This place is interesting."

Lu Qingyu became interested.

The trees formed a forest, arranged in the shape of the Eight Trigrams), clearly a mysterious natural formation. Such a place must contain spiritual entities. Although Lu Qingyu had the invincible elder brother as her backing, she dared not slacken her cultivation and training in the slightest.

Given this fortuitous opportunity, I certainly won't miss it.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Lu Qingyu's eyes lit Radiance as she looked into the depths of the forest. A single glance cleared the fog, leaving nothing to obstruct her path. She saw the raccoon demon, who loved to eat and skin people, pacing back and forth in the forest, seemingly running for its life, but in reality, it was just going around in circles.

"Duh!"

Seeing this, Lu Qingyu raised her hand and unleashed a sword light. A magical sword was hidden within, and with a single strike, she beheaded the unsuspecting fox demon. A demon core sprang out, only to be blocked by a casual Palm Thunder strike from Lu Qingyu.

The Thunder Method Sword Qi was sealed and absorbed into the Mustard Seed Space along with the corpse.

Immediately.

He then continued to use the 'Grand Luo Insight' technique and headed into the mountains.

Splash!

Using her Divine Ability, Lu Qingyu broke through the maze, Chuanshan mountains and forests, the roar of water echoing in her ears.

Once out of the forest.

Then one sees towering mountains and deep waters, with numerous waterfalls cascading down. The Ringing Water Crag cascades in three tiers, its dark, misty waters stretching for thousands of feet, a truly magnificent sight.

Keep going.

Another group of monkeys dwells in their burrows, their cries making the mountains seem even more secluded. Hundreds and thousands of monkeys rush out of the woods, their roars echoing through the mountains like the roar of a flood, reverberating through the valleys—a truly magnificent sight.

They reached a mountain peak.

Nine mountain peaks, resembling lotus petals, emerge, with a small hill in the center like a flower stamen. A stream meanders around them, like a lotus sleeping in a pond. Pine and cypress trees grow in abundance, blessed with favorable weather and location. The area is warm in winter and cool in summer, filled with the fragrance of pine and a spiritual atmosphere, like a paradise on Jade Pool.

In the very center of this precious land of Jade Pool stands a blue stone tablet.

The inscription on the stele is engraved in intaglio, and the characters are strange, obscure and difficult to decipher.

Lu Qingyu gazed intently into the distance and saw twenty-eight strange characters on the blue stone tablet, like celestial script, making her dizzy at first glance. In a daze, clouds and mist swirled in the pool, revealing bursts of light like Buddha's radiance.

In the light.

On the blue stone tablet appeared a monkey with a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth, holding a long sword and slashing casually, with sword intent that was invisible to the naked eye, yet mixed with thunder and lightning.

This scene is rarely seen by ordinary people.

They thought Thunder God was angry.

Therefore, this mountain is called 'Thunder Duke Mountain'!

"A swordsmanship inheritance?!"

Lu Qingyu was delighted and quickly sat down to meditate. She was practicing the "Luofu Sword Canon," and observing the swordsmanship of this powerful ape might give her some insights and help her break through her previous realm.

As long as one's level of understanding is raised.

With his elder brother Lu Qingfeng around, there will be no shortage of resources for cultivating Law Power.

"This is much better than ordinary spiritual items!"

To encounter such a great fortuitous opportunity while casually hunting demons is a testament to the strength of one's own luck, and he was naturally delighted. "I will first meditate here, and after some time, when I have achieved something, I will definitely surprise my elder brothers. Then I will bring them here."

Lu Qingyu thought—

"My second brother is dull-witted; I'm afraid he won't be able to figure it out."

"But my elder brother is a peerless genius, one of the best in the world. He might not even be able to compare to this ape-like expert. He will definitely be able to comprehend everything, which will be helpful to his cultivation."

Thinking that she could help her elder brother in some way, Lu Qingyu was even happier.

Don't rush to leave.

So he secluded himself on Thunder Duke Mountain, ignoring all worldly affairs.

It was a bit late, but thankfully I made it in time.
