The Daoist bestowed treasures; nothing was as it once was!

The Arctic Snow Domain.

Lu Mountain.

Lu Qingfeng pressed forward, shattering layer after layer. This Formation Mountain was set up by Patriarch Qin Feng the Celestial Star Sect, specifically to select disciples and successors. Secret realms like the Hundred Herbs Garden were merely casually arranged; obtaining the Celestial Star Token only allowed one to enter the mortal Celestial Star Sect and become True Disciple.

These twelve Formation Mountain were built with utmost care.

The difficulty is far beyond what Hundred Herbs Garden can compare to.

"The formation in the Hundred Herbs Garden is at most equivalent to the sixth or seventh level of this Formation Mountain."

"The gap is too big."

More formations rose up in the sky and on the ground. Lu Qingfeng's eyes flashed with Radiance, and he immediately discerned the weakness and broke it with ease. Then the formations rose again, giving rise to other changes.

Simply breaking through the formation is not enough to get through.

"Break the formation."

"Enlightenment Formation".

"Set up the formation."

Only when all three are repeated without the slightest delay can it be considered complete.

Lu Qingfeng, who was in the Formation Mountain, saw all the arrangements and couldn't help but admire the Patriarch Qin Feng.

Patriarch Qin Feng ascended over 70,000 years ago. When he set up this formation across the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, he was still Primordial Spirit cultivator. Judging from the Formation Mountain alone, his mastery of formations was already quite remarkable at that time, comparable to Lu Qingfeng at the Primordial Spirit Peak.

You need to know.

It took Lu Qingfeng over 60,000 years to cultivate to the Primordial Spirit Peak. During that time, he also used the 'Enlightenment' method to assist his cultivation and comprehension of the Dao of Arrays.

However, the Patriarch Qin Feng only stayed in the human world for three thousand years.

Three thousand years.

It is equivalent to Lu Qingfeng's sixty thousand years of painstaking efforts.

This is the Immortal Dao.

Talent, fate, and method are all indispensable.

Although Lu Qingfeng has the help of "Primordial World", he should not underestimate the people of the world.

But.

After all, it was set up when Patriarch Qin Feng was still in the mortal realm. Although it was mysterious, Lu Qingfeng had already advanced to the True Immortal in "The Primordial World". He dared not say that his mastery of formations was comparable to that of Patriarch Qin Feng now, but at least it was no weaker than that of Qin Feng in the Primordial Spirit Stage 70,000 years ago, whose talent in formations was unparalleled in the world.

Conquering this Formation Mountain will be a piece of cake.

"Qin Feng cultivates the array formation method of the Celestial Star Sect, while I cultivate the 'True Exposition of the Celestial Lord's Formation Dao,' which is a summary of the teachings of the Ten Celestial Lords of Golden Ao Island by the Thunder Ministry Earthly God-Seeking Great General. Although the former is difficult to compare with the latter, it still has its merits."

While breaking through, comprehending, and setting up formations within the Formation Mountain, Lu Qingfeng was also verifying his understanding of the array principles he had cultivated.

By drawing inferences from one instance to another, one can continuously improve.

Time passes.

One year.

Two years.

Three years.

Lu Qingfeng reached the nineteenth floor.

Three more years passed.

On the twenty-second level, he caught up with Master Wu Jiu, one of the two great Primordial Spirit in the Celestial Star Sect.

The tenth year.

Reach the twenty-fifth floor.

Surpass Grandmaster Muyang, who has held the top spot for 1,687 years.

By the twelfth year.

In one fell swoop, he reached the summit of the mountain, reaching the twenty-seventh level, a level that no one before him and no one since has ever reached!

The Spirit Domain.

One-Line Heaven-Piercing Gorge.

Strange peaks, bizarre rocks, forests, ancient trees, caves, secluded streams, waterfalls, and creeks complement each other beautifully.

Wonderful, serene, majestic, and beautiful.

The three streams and six valleys are serene and enchanting, refreshing and invigorating, a masterpiece of nature. Waterfalls and streams cascade over giant rocks and meander among strange stones.

Above the clouds formed by eighteen unique peaks, including the majestic Heavenly Florescence Peak and the spirited Mao Gong Peak, a Daoist priest sits cross-legged.

He was dressed in a long robe with seven stars Eight Trigrams, and had a handsome face and a dignified bearing.

Seated cross-legged amidst the sea of clouds, as the clouds roll and unroll, formations materialize with a thought. Some are in the clouds, some in the mist. Rising with the clouds into the high heavens, falling with the mist into the valleys, each formation undergoes new changes in the process.

Eighteen unique peaks.

Three streams and six valleys.

All were shrouded in a faintly visible array. Some of these arrays were dangerous, while others were bewitching, yet they did not harm people or beasts. Beasts and birds could come and go freely, and ordinary people who entered rashly would encounter no problems whatsoever.

Only the most sinful demons can enter and witness the true power of the layers of formations.

Near and far places.

The One-Line Heaven-Piercing Gorge is truly a forbidden land for demons and monsters.

This day.

The Daoist priest, rising from above the sea of clouds, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were deep and mysterious, yet also revealed a hint of joy—

"There are actually people in the human world who can break through the twenty-seven layers of the Formation Mountain I set up."

"It seems I've found my fourth disciple."

The Daoist priest was delighted.

With a wave of his hand across the void, he saw a handsome young man standing up. The two looked at each other across the void between the two realms. Seeing that the young man had a dignified and peaceful appearance, the Daoist was even more pleased and said kindly, "Young friend, if you have deciphered the twenty-seventh layer of the Lu Mountain formation and ascend to the Spirit Domain in the future, you may come to the One-Line Heaven-Piercing Gorge to meet me."

As he spoke.

The Daoist waved his hand again, and nine precious swords fell from his sleeve, each bearing a nine-palace pattern and containing profound mysteries.

"This is the Nine-Palace Divine Sword, which I forged in the Spirit Domain using the Western Taibai Essence Stone. The nine are integrated into one, and can be arranged in formations in the air, making it extremely powerful."

Lu Qingfeng stood atop Lu Mountain and saw the Lu Mountain tremble violently. Nine divine swords descended from the void and landed right in front of him.

A sound rang in my ears.

Looking further ahead, the Daoist priest had vanished.

"Patriarch Qin Feng?"

Lu Qingfeng had a guess in his mind, but he saw that the person seemed to be integrated with the vast sea of clouds. With his eyesight, he could only see wisps of mist. Without using the 'Grand Luo Insight', he could not see the Daoist's cultivation level.

But judging solely from the perspective of Qi (vital energy) –

"It is absolutely no less than the level of Mahayana Dao Inquiry!"

"They might even be Earth Immortal!"

Lu Qingfeng guessed.

Even if he is not Earth Immortal, he was able to cultivate to the Dao Comprehension Realm in just over 70,000 years. In the next 50,000 years, he will have a great chance to break through to become Earth Immortal.

"It is indeed a powerful backer."

Lu Qingfeng thought to himself, then bowed to Xu Tian and said, "Thank you for bestowing this treasure upon me, Senior!"

Only then did he accept the 'Nine-Palace Divine Sword' from the sky.

Upon closer inspection.

Each and every one of these divine swords was of the eighth rank.

Although it is only a relatively ordinary existence among the eighth-order, once it falls into the hands of a sword cultivator who is proficient in formations, he can unleash nine swords at once and set up Nine-Palace Sword Formation, directly elevating its power to a level close to the peak of the eighth order.

They should not be underestimated.

"What a grand gesture!"

Even Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but admire it.

To casually bestow nine eighth-tier Law Artifact is something most True Immortal cannot do. Even Earth Immortal wouldn't bestow such gifts upon strangers.

"One-Line Heaven-Piercing Gorge."

"After I ascended to the Spirit Domain, I went here. It seems that he has taken a liking to my talent and wants to take me as his disciple."

"After becoming an apprentice, the Nine-Palace Divine Sword was merely bestowed upon me ahead of time."

Lu Qingfeng thought about it and didn't object.

His original intention was to find a backer for his identity as 'Lu Qingfeng'.

This Daoist priest is very likely the 'Patriarch Qin Feng'. He is kind-hearted and the most suitable for the role.

The Nine-Palace Divine Sword was an unexpected delight.

Pass through the twenty-seventh floor.

The objective has been achieved.

Lu Qingfeng did not linger in Lu Mountain. He left the Arctic Snow Domain and headed straight for the Biyang Lake.

The Nine-Palace Divine Sword are arranged.

His body transformed into sword light, rushing straight towards the Mystic Origin Realm.

In the blink of an eye.

Eight hundred years have passed since Lu Qingfeng joined the Mystic Origin Sect.

It has been more than seven hundred years since he 'left' the Mystic Origin Sect.

This day.

The Profound Origin Water Realm was draped in white robes.

Lu Qingfeng drifted erratically, landing within it. A slight twitch at his ear revealed the reason.

"Well!"

He immediately let out a long sigh, strode forward, and arrived at the Founders' Hall of the Mystic Origin Sect.

Here.

Many True Person have already gathered here.

Such as Master Wu Jie True Person, Headmaster of Azurelight Peak, True Person Jiang Yan, True Person Zhou Huayu of Jade Pillar Peak, and many other veteran True Person of the Mystic Origin Sect are included.

Lu Qingfeng stepped forward slowly.

He bowed deeply towards the direction of the Founders' Hall.

He immediately stood up, looked in the direction of the Founders' Hall, and felt a little sad. "The generation of teachers passed away one after another, including Uncle Gai Yuntian and Uncle Qian Lai and Uncle Shi Wan. Now, the most senior generation of the Mystic Origin Sect, starting with Pei Yuan, the former head of Golden Tiger Peak, Zhuo Jun, the head of the Hall of Disciplinary Law, have also passed away one after another."

"Today, the former head of the Hall of Gathering Heroes, Uncle Wen Zhong, has also departed on his travels."

Lu Qingfeng still remembers.

Back then, in the Gathering Immortals Market of the Profound Origin Water Realm, it was this Wen Zhong who led Gai Yuntian and his teacher Gu Buyan to visit him. Later, the two competed for the position of disciple, and in the end, Lu Qingfeng chose to enter the Pill Convergence Hall and become Gu Buyan's disciple.

It's a pity.

The Gu Buyan the inevitable decline of old age and the difficulty of spiritual practice.

Lu Qingfeng forcibly extended his life with the 'Longevity Pill,' but he only lived for another two hundred years before finally passing away. Before his death, Lu Qingfeng personally came to see him off.

The master and apprentice talked about the past and present, and reminisced about the past.

Final.

The Gu Buyan of a life coming to an end with a smile.

From then on.

Lu Qingfeng rarely interacted with the Mystic Origin Sect, only offering assistance in secret. His return this day was to bid farewell to his Uncle-Master Wen Zhong.

As time goes by.

There are fewer and fewer familiar faces in the Mystic Origin Sect.

Lu Qingfeng had previously seen off his teacher Gu Buyan, as well as six Mystic Origin Sect True Person including Gai Yuntian, Qian Lai, Shi Wan Pei Yuan, Pei Yuan, and Zhuo Jun.

Today, Wen Zhong is the seventh.

Further on.

Lu Qingfeng's gaze swept over and saw that Weng Shaoqing, the leader of Demon-Subduing Peak, still had white hair, but his face was no longer what it used to be. He had wrinkles and dark spots, and it was clear that he had one foot in the grave.

Even though he has extremely high talent for cultivation.

After obtaining the method left by Lu Qingfeng, he made rapid progress and was already close to the Golden Core Realm. But it was too late. He had previously damaged his foundation due to love, making it difficult to break through this final barrier.

He could only die with resentment.

Apart from Weng Shaoqing.

Furthermore, the Venerable Kuang Tianqi, the head of the Hall of Mountain Patrol, and the True Person Wu Jie, the head of the Mystic Origin, were all nearing the end of their lives.

Zhou Huayu Jade Pillar Peak, Nalan Xun, the chief of Silver Frost Peak, Zhuang Bie of the Scripture Transmission Hall, and others were all in high spirits, all capable of reaching the Golden Core Realm, and had a chance to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm in this lifetime.

But the Primordial Spirit is difficult to cultivate.

It's only a slim possibility.

If they cannot break through, they will likely suffer the same Fate hundreds of years from now.

Looking further ahead.

The original True Disciple, such as Zhou Su and Xiang Chao of Jade Pillar Peak, and Xiang Chao Yan Pingshu the Law Enforcement Hall, and other old friends, all broke through the shackles and became True Person.

He began to distinguish himself in all directions and came into contact with the core of power in the Mystic Origin Sect.

Seven or eight hundred years.

For Lu Qingfeng, who had experienced seventy or eighty thousand years in the game, it was nothing, but for the Mystic Origin Sect, which had received all kinds of Technique Method and Cultivation Method from Lu Qingfeng, it was a period of several hundred years of earth-shaking change.

The changes are too great.

Lu Qingfeng's secret identity is that of the absolute number one fighter in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, invincible throughout the world. Even his public identity is that of the successor personally appointed by the founder of the Celestial Star Sect, Patriarch Qin Feng.

Once they ascend to the upper realm, they can become disciples.

They have long since drifted apart from the Mystic Origin Sect and are no longer what they once were.
