Want to Become the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven"!
Lu Qingfeng looked at the Green Bamboo Staff in his hand.
A slight smile played at the corners of his lips.
"Although my Law Treasure cannot compare to the Way of Heaven Sect Master's Law Artifact, it was forged from my own body, the 'Pure Law Bamboo.' It also forged twelve Ironback Centipede and incorporated the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire formed by the gathering of boundless Karmic Power and the 'Pure Heavenly Fire' generated by the Pure Law Bamboo itself into the bamboo staff."
"With a single stroke of the staff."
"All sorts of terrors surged at once, even True Immortal would find it difficult to defend against, and Earth Immortal should also be careful."
"It is born from the same source as me, and I wield it with ease. When unleashed at full power, even a True Lord Earth Immortal find it difficult to withstand its might!"
It took a century to complete.
The Law Treasure was finally completed.
Lu Qingfeng was overjoyed, looking at the Green Bamboo Staff in his hand. "This was made from the Pure Law Bamboo, so I'll call it the 'Pure Bamboo Staff' and use it as a protective Law Treasure!"
[Immortal Artifact: Pure Bamboo Staff]
[Grade: Tier 1]
[Note: The Three Great Kings of Yellow Wind Ridge, the Pure Great Sage of Green Bamboo Cave, forged this being from his original form, the 'Pure Law Bamboo,' by fusing twelve Ironback Centipede and three Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire. Its power is profound and boundless.]
"A first-tier Immortal Artifact."
"This is only the initial achievement. With proper refinement over thousands or tens of thousands of years, it is not impossible for it to be upgraded to Spirit Treasure."
Lu Qingfeng smiled.
Holding the Pure Bamboo Staff, I silently recited the Attribute Panel—

"In the art of weapon crafting, I have finally broken through the mortal level and advanced to the immortal level!"
Lu Qingfeng glanced at the Attribute Panel, noticed the changes, and couldn't help but smile.
Having cultivated for over 80,000 years in the Primordial World Era, he has also spent considerable time studying the art of weapon crafting. Through continuous research and refinement, he has finally broken through his limitations and achieved extraordinary success.
It can be used to forge Immortal Artifact.
From then on, he held a respectable position even within the Earth Immortal Realm.
He is admired by all, and even the Earth Immortal True Lord have to give him face.
"But."
"Immortal Artifact possess immense power, and their forging is extremely difficult. Even as an immortal-level artifact refiner, I am still somewhat lacking in skill. This time, I was fortunate enough to forge the artifact using my own body, along with precious materials such as the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire and the Ironback Centipede, which are hard to find in the mortal world. With their help, I was able to Immortal Artifact."
"If it were ordinary."
"It is extremely difficult to forge Immortal Artifact."
Lu Qingfeng was also self-aware, knowing that his weapon-refining skills were somewhat lacking, and that his success rate in refining Immortal Artifact next time would probably be less than one in a hundred. However, even so, practice makes perfect. After taking this step, as long as he studied more in the future, he would eventually be able to reach a level where he could refine immortal Immortal Artifact with ease.
While I was pondering this.
Two familiar auras approached from Green Bamboo Cave, followed by a familiar voice—
"Congratulations, Third Brother, on successfully refining this supreme treasure! From now on, you will be invincible among mortals!"
Lu Qingfeng hurriedly came out of the cave to greet them.
"Big brother."
"Second Brother."
Two figures approached side by side; they were Great Sage Huangfeng and the Second Great King Azure Fox Great Sage of Yellow Wind Ridge. The one who had spoken earlier was the latter.
"The Primordial World is vast, and the Earth Immortal Realm alone has countless True Immortal. How dare I claim to be invincible among mortals?"
Lu Qingfeng said modestly.
In the mortal world, Mahayana are True Immortal, members of the immortal family.
However, in the eyes of true immortals like the Azure Fox Great Sage, without Changsheng, one cannot become an immortal and is still classified as a mortal.
The Azure Fox Great Sage praised Lu Qingfeng as invincible among mortals, implying that he was unmatched below the level of Earth Immortal.
The Primordial World is filled with countless realms, and the number of True Immortal is immeasurable.
Even with Lu Qingfeng's profound foundation, he would never dare to claim invincibility. It wasn't out of deliberate humility, but simply out of reverence for the path of cultivation.
"Third brother, there's no need to belittle yourself."
"Attainment of the Dao the Pure Law Bamboo and now possessing Immortal Artifact, even if he is not yet comparable to those True Immortal of the Xuanmen Mystic Sect, his future is limitless. Cultivate diligently, and you may well become Earth Immortal."
The Great Sage Huangfeng also spoke up from the side.
"Thank you, Brother Xie."
Lu Qingfeng knew this was encouragement, so he immediately cupped his hands and thanked Great Sage Huangfeng.
The Pure Law Bamboo takes three thousand years to complete one year.
A century has passed.
Lu Qingfeng still looked the same as when he first took human form, about five or six years old, with a face like white jade, rosy and fair skin, and a complexion that was white with a rosy tinge. He wore a green bamboo robe, was barefoot, and looked very spirited.
He cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.
It looked somewhat comical.
"Ha ha!"
Upon seeing this, both the Great Sage Huangfeng and the Azure Fox Great Sage burst into laughter.
The Great Sage Huangfeng looked at the Azure Fox Great Sage and laughed, "Third Brother Pure Law Bamboo Attainment of the Dao enlightenment. Although he is so young, in terms of his composure, I'm afraid neither you nor I can compare."
That makes sense.
The Pure Law Bamboo itself embodies the meaning of 'Pure', remaining untouched by dust.
He sat in the Meditating Arhat Academy, listening to the Dharma for four thousand years.
It took on a different form.
He was naturally calm and composed, unlike a child at all.
Even.
Lu Qingfeng benefited from this transformation. In the past, although he devoted himself to cultivation and enlightenment, he was inevitably disturbed by external demons and evil spirits, and his chaotic thoughts would delay his cultivation.
But now...
With all six senses under control, free from worldly affairs and distractions, cultivation progressed many times faster than before. Even comprehending Divine Ability and studying the arts of alchemy and weapon crafting became much faster than usual.
"My current Root Bone is unknown."
"But in terms of comprehension, he is definitely much better than the previous seventeen incarnations."
Lu Qingfeng thought of this.
He also thought of the two Divine Ability, 'Invert-Grand-Void Glazed Wall' and 'Demonic Baleful Entangling Silk Divine Curse', which were preparations for reality and intended to save his life.
As for "The Primordial World Era"—
Finding the Immortal Qin Realm and reuniting with Le'er was of paramount importance and the most urgent matter in Lu Qingfeng's heart.
The Eight Departments of Heavenly Court are merely external forces, fraught with uncertainties.
It can only be one option, and it's not good to place all your hopes on it.
"Seven Birds Lesser Evolving Numerology".
Lu Qingfeng's eyes narrowed. "I must study this great art of divination carefully. Perhaps when I advance to the Earth Immortal, I will be able to calculate the location of the Immortal Qin Realm without the help of the Eight Departments of Heavenly Court."
The Great Divine Ability of the 'Seven Birds Lesser Evolving Numerology' goes without saying. It was obtained by Lu Qingfeng from the Chiyan Realm and strengthened over ten lifetimes. It can calculate heaven, earth, and all living beings in the human world, helping Lu Qingfeng to obtain many fortuitous opportunity and avoid many calamities.
By using the seven birds to replace one's life, one can transfer the backlash and prevent it from harming oneself.
If one is to rely on oneself to find the Immortal Qin Realm, then the 'Seven Birds Lesser Evolving Numerology' is the hope and should not be overlooked.
"Only."
"Becoming Earth Immortal is difficult and far off. Even if one does achieve it, whether one can calculate the location of the Immortal Qin Realm is another matter entirely."
"If we want to find the Immortal Qin Realm as quickly as possible, we still need to rely on the Eight Departments of Heavenly Court."
Lu Qingfeng frowned slightly. "It seems we still need to manage the Green Bamboo Cave first, commit a few 'major cases' to attract the attention of the Thunder Ministry or the Fire Ministry and other eight departments, and then surrender when the Heavenly Soldiers arrive."
This tactic has existed since ancient times.
Leaving aside the mundane world, such as Liangshan Marshes.
In the Earth Immortal Realm alone, there are countless great demons, including the Great Demon Race Equaling Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Victorious Fighting Buddha, whether willingly or unwillingly, who were recruited or forced to surrender by the heavenly soldiers and generals.
If Lu Qingfeng were to take the initiative to submit.
There is a possibility of being accepted, but not necessarily of being valued. With just a layer of 'Merit Radiance,' one might be able to obtain the position of a divine official, but be kept idle and not necessarily able to wield real power.
However, if one first makes a 'merit' at Yellow Wind Ridge, the situation will be quite different.
"You have to show some ability, otherwise how can you be given important responsibilities?"
Thinking to myself.
Together with the Great Sage Huangfeng and the Azure Fox Great Sage, they entered his Green Bamboo Cave and sat down. Lu Qingfeng took out his homemade Green Bamboo Wine, and the three brothers drank together.
Qingyu is a heavy drinker.
Lu Qingfeng searched for fine wines and spirits throughout the Immortal Qin Realm, using the "Evolving Method - Analysis" to derive recipes, and then using the "Evolving Method - Enhancement" to master the brewing recipes for 9,713 different wines.
Among the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, there are mountains of fine wines and spirits hidden End Mountain within.
When it comes to the art of wine, Lu Qingfeng, though not a frequent drinker, can be considered a 'wine immortal'.
This Green Bamboo wine is called "The Great Sage Equal to Heaven".
When the Victorious Fighting Buddha was still known as the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven" on Flower-Fruit Mountain, he was extremely unruly, fierce, ambitious, and dared to be equal to the heavens.
Therefore, this "Great Sage Equal to Heaven" is also a top-notch strong liquor.
Among the 376 types of Green Bamboo wine that Lu Qingfeng possessed, Qingyu ranked it first in terms of intensity. Among the 3,115 types of strong liquor, Qingyu ranked it seventeenth in terms of intensity.
This is already a rare find in the mortal world.
A potent liquor that can only be found in the Immortal Court.
"Good wine!"
"What strong liquor!"
The Azure Fox Great Sage drank it down in one gulp, his face glowing red, and he praised it loudly.
"The Great Sage Equal to Heaven!"
"What a Great Sage Equal to Heaven!"
The Great Sage Huangfeng snorted with the smell of alcohol and shouted loudly. After three cups of wine, he was slightly drunk, muttering "Great Sage Equal to Heaven" and then sneered, "It's a pity the Great Sage Equal to Heaven is gone; only the Victorious Fighting Buddha remains in the mortal world!"
There was a hint of contempt in his words.
Three parts self-deprecation.
A touch of sadness.
Lu Qingfeng discerned three flavors within it, looked at Great Sage Huangfeng with doubt in his heart. But he saw Great Sage Huangfeng Dasheng drinking heartily, no longer mentioning "Great Sage Equal to Heaven," only praising the fine wine, and listing the fine wines he had drunk in his life, saying that this wine could rank among the top three.
Not long after.
Both the Great Sage Huangfeng and the Azure Fox Great Sage were completely drunk.
The Azure Fox Great Sage, still half-asleep, clenched his fist and banged his head, then slurred at the Great Sage Huangfeng, "Big Brother, is there something we forgot to tell Third Brother?"
"What's up?"
Great Sage Huangfeng, holding a wine jug in one hand, took a big gulp of "Great Sage Equal to Heaven to Heaven," and upon hearing this, glared at Azure Fox Great Sage with eyes full of bewilderment, "What is it again?"
He tried to appear thoughtful.
Lu Qingfeng looked at Great Sage Huangfeng, also curious about why his two older brothers had come to find him.
Then they waited for the Great Sage Huangfeng to recall.
But then, after a long pause, the Great Sage Huangfeng slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "I remember now—"
Lu Qingfeng quickly perked up.
The Azure Fox Great Sage also sat up straight in a daze, but still swayed from side to side.
The Great Sage Huangfeng raised the wine in his hand and said loudly, "I came to drink with my third brother! If my third brother can't hold his liquor, he'll embarrass me when he goes out and meets his old brothers!"
"..."
Lu Qingfeng pursed his lips, his face immediately scrunched up, and he felt the effects of the alcohol rising up.
In a daze, he seemed to hear his second brother, the Azure Fox Great Sage, shaking his head and muttering, "No, no. Besides drinking, there seems to be something else. The Jiazi Grand Year Star, the Central Pox God, the Northern Plague-Bringing Envoy, hiss, and the Lone Star Lord, good heavens, how did I, the Great Sage, think of these killers!"
The sound gradually faded.
Lu Qingfeng ultimately failed to hear clearly and fell into a drunken dream.
