Claiming Yuan Gui City for Himself!

Whoosh!

As soon as Lu Qingfeng stepped into the city, the 'Seven-Star Beauty Serpent' Dao Soldiers sprang into action, charging over and forming their own formations. Clearly, they regarded Lu Qingfeng as an enemy and were trying to defend against the invaders.

This must be an instruction given by the Old Mother of Mount Gui before her death.

Even though the Old Mother of Mount Gui had passed away, these Dao Soldiers still faithfully carried out their orders.

Lu Qingfeng strolled leisurely.

"Five-Colored Divine Light!"

With a thought, Five-Colored Divine Light surged forth, sweeping down upon the charging Dao Soldiers. After a few strikes, a total of one hundred and ninety-eight Seven-Star Beauty Serpent Dao Soldiers were all taken away by Lu Qingfeng.

Since the Old Mother of Mount Gui could control these Dao Soldiers, she would likely be able to control them once Lu Qingfeng took control of 'Yuan Gui City'. Previously, unaware of this, he carelessly killed sixteen Dao Soldiers. Now that he knows, he will not waste any more.

Only--

"How did the Old Mother of Mount Gui manage to withstand more than two hundred fourth-rank Dao Soldiers?"

Dao Soldiers ultimately have their limitations, far inferior to orthodox cultivators. This fourth-tier Dao Soldiers, the 'Seven-Star Beauty Serpent,' is said to be equivalent to Primordial Spirit cultivator, but in a one-on-one situation, it's not even a match for ten rounds against an ordinary Spirit-Nourishing Realm cultivator. At best, it can only overpower Golden Core cultivator and barely contend with a newly Primordial Spirit.

In Lu Qingfeng's eyes, if it were controlled by the Old Mother of Mount Gui, who could flexibly command and change formations, it would be somewhat troublesome. But without a leader and in a state of disarray, it could be easily taken over, just like what was happening before him.

There is no threat whatsoever.

However, the Old Mother of Mount Gui was not as strong as Lu Qingfeng, yet she was still able to withstand these Dao Soldiers and occupy 'Yuan Gui City', using some unknown method.

Lu Qingfeng was puzzled, but he didn't pursue the matter further. He stepped forward and walked through the ruins of the city, looking around.

Yuan Gui City was in utter ruin.

Amidst the ruins, there were quite a few materials for building a city. Some were precious, some rare, and some common; if carefully collected, they would be enough to make a Primordial Spirit True One wealthy.

The ruins are chaotic, and it will take a long time to clean them up.

Old Mother of Mount Gui obviously didn't have time to tidy up, and now it all benefited Lu Qingfeng.

Sweep through the ruins.

Lu Qingfeng ignored it for the time being and walked until he came to a seven-story building.

[Spiritual Pavilion: Seven-Star Tower]

[Note: This is unique to Yuan Gui City, a place for cultivating fourth-tier Dao Soldiers, the 'Seven-Star Beauty Serpent'. There were forty-two such sites in total, of which thirty-eight have been damaged or lost, two are damaged, and two are well preserved.]

"Seven-Star Tower".

Looking at it, Lu Qingfeng immediately thought of the 'Dutian Dark Nether Strategies' in his hand. Both were used to cultivate Dao Soldiers, so their principles should be quite similar.

Keep walking.

In the ruined city, Lu Qingfeng discovered an intact Seven-Star Tower and two damaged Seven-Star Tower.

Besides.

There is also a Mysterious Tortoise Tower, a 'Craftsman God Workshop', two city-protecting array towers, half of the city lord's mansion, half of the city wall, and the 'Ice-Cold Springeye' at the foot of the city wall where second-tier Dao Soldiers 'Frost Spirit Immortal' are cultivated.

However, the Ice-Cold Springeye is mostly damaged. The nest still exists, but it can no longer continuously nurture the Frost Spirit Immortal.

[Spiritual Building: Black Tortoise Tower]

[Note: There are two sites for cultivating fifth-tier Dao Soldiers, the 'Blackwater Spirit Tortoise'. One was destroyed, and the other remains, containing six 'Blackwater Spirit Tortoise'. Note: Due to the limitations of the universe, the Black Tortoise Tower cannot be opened at the moment.]

"A fifth-tier Dao Soldiers is comparable to True Immortal."

"The Primordial Spirit of the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers is the ultimate, and neither True Immortal nor fifth-order Dao Soldiers can survive there, which is why the Black Tortoise Tower cannot be opened."

Lu Qingfeng understood without even having to think.

However, there are six fifth-tier Dao Soldiers in this Black Tortoise Tower, which may be of some help when they leave the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers. I wonder where the 'Yuan Gui Water Mother' got the 'Black Tortoise Tower' and the 'Blackwater Spirit Tortoise' Dao Soldiers from, since she has only been ascended for a little over 50,000 years and has only been in 'Yuan Gui City' for a shorter time.

"Could it be something left behind by that Fairy Yunyan?"

I had a guess in my mind.

Lu Qingfeng didn't think too much about it and stepped into half of the city lord's mansion.

"This place is the hub of Yuan Gui City."

In the city lord's mansion.

Lu Qingfeng's eyes were bright as he stared at the ground.

Beneath the earth, an obelisk lies buried deep, concealed by layers of arrays. Without careful observation, it is virtually impossible to detect. This is despite the fact that Yuan Gui City is largely destroyed. If Yuan Gui City were at its peak, with layers of arrays surrounding it, and the City Lord's Mansion at its core, finding this 'Estate-Sealing Stele' would be an extremely difficult task.

The idea of taking Yuan Gui City silently is utterly futile.

Lu Qingfeng carefully sensed the presence of three different auras emanating from the Estate-Sealing Stele—

"Old Mother of Mount Gui".

"Yuan Gui Water Mother"

"There is another aura, which should belong to Fairy Yunyan, the first owner of this city."

Lu Qingfeng did not hesitate.

Sensing the energy, he drew out the Estate-Sealing Stele, then sat cross-legged and began refining it.

Half an hour later.

Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes. "The Estate-Sealing Stele connects the entire Yuan Gui City. Refining this stone tablet is equivalent to refining the Seven-Star Tower, Black Tortoise Tower, Ice-Cold Springeye, and other spiritual buildings, as well as the Immortal Soil land stretching for twenty or thirty miles. It will take quite a while."

It took the Old Mother of Mount Gui twenty or thirty years to refine it.

Lu Qingfeng's soul is stronger and his Law Power is more profound, but it will take him ten to twenty years to fully refine it.

"Let's deal with Wu Jiu and the Heavenly Dragon Goddess first."

Lu Qingfeng didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

If the Celestial Star Sect or the Goddess Peak were to learn of this Battle City, they would inevitably have to report it to the patriarch of the upper realm. Even a dilapidated Battle City immense value.

Leaving aside other matters.

The Black Tortoise Tower alone, which can nurture the fifth-tier Dao Soldiers 'Blackwater Spirit Tortoise', is enough to tempt even Mahayana True Immortal.

"Out!"

Holding the 'Dutian Xuanming Strategy', Lu Qingfeng released two primordial spirit soldiers to guard it. Still not entirely at ease, he left the Gonggong Demon God behind to guard it before heading to the cold pool of Turtle Mountain.

Waiting to ascend to the cold pool.

Then they saw two figures appear.

"Fellow Daoists, it's been a long time."

Lu Qingfeng, holding Green Bamboo Staff, landed on the cold pool. His eyes flickered, and upon seeing the newcomer, he immediately smiled.

"The Old Devil Du Tian?!"

The newcomers were none other than the Heavenly Dragon Goddess Peak and Wu Jiu of the Celestial Star Sect. The two set off first, with Lu Qingfeng following behind. However, they arrived at Mount Gui first, not only defeating the Old Mother of Mount Gui but also exploring the 'Yuan Gui City' beneath Mount Gui.

He met Lu Qingfeng.

Both Wu Jiu and the Heavenly Dragon Goddess changed their expressions.

"How could it be this demon?"

"This is going to be difficult."

The two exchanged a glance, both feeling a bitter taste in their mouths.

A person's name is like the shadow of a tree.

Lu Qingfeng had been wreaking havoc in the Heaven Stele Secret Realm for over a decade or two. Even the Heavenly Dragon Goddess was banished to the Netherworld Gap, where she struggled for more than ten years before finally escaping recently.

Who would have thought that they would run into this evil spirit again?

I felt a mix of anger, bitterness, hatred, and annoyance.

"It was the Old Mother of Mount Gui who killed your two sect True Person. I happened to be passing by, so I took action to avenge the blood feud by killing the Old Mother of Mount Gui on behalf of the two sect masters."

Lu Qingfeng did not want to antagonize Goddess Peak and Celestial Star Sect unless absolutely necessary, especially Celestial Star Sect.

I don't want to take the blame for Old Mother of Mount Gui.

Although it is said that having many debts is not a burden and one is fearless in the face of Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, if one goes too far, one will have enemies everywhere when one ascends to the upper realm, which would not be good.

"Old Mother of Mount Gui?"

"In that case, thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. We will take our leave now!"

Wu Jiu didn't say a word, nor did he bother to doubt it. He gave the Heavenly Dragon Goddess a look, then turned and left.

"Brother Wu Jiu."

The Heavenly Dragon Goddess was taken aback upon seeing this. She glanced at Lu Qingfeng, gritted her teeth, and dared not linger. She quickly followed him and soon left Mount Gui.

"Brother Wu Jiu, do you truly believe what the Old Devil Du Tian said?"

The horizon.

The Heavenly Dragon Goddess stood shoulder to shoulder with Wu Jiu atop the Nine-Heavens Astral Wind, looking down at the North Sea Mount Gui below, and asked a question.

"Given the strength and temperament of the Old Devil Du Tian, he wouldn't dare to do something he wouldn't admit."

Wu Jiu smiled wryly and turned to look at the Heavenly Dragon Goddess, "Besides, even if it was the work of the Old Devil Du Tian, what can you and I do about it?"

A single word was uttered.

The Heavenly Dragon Goddess fell silent.

Yes.

When the Old Devil Du Tian the Heavenly Stele was in the Heaven Stele Secret Realm, he faced twenty-four Primordial Spirit True One alone, yet with a mere gesture, he sent twelve of Primordial Spirit True One, including her, into the Netherworld Gap.

The remaining twelve Primordial Spirit True One and fled.

Even.

The Heavenly Dragon Goddess the Unseen that the Old Devil Du Tian had no intention of killing her. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been impossible for him to kill three or five Primordial Spirit.

If we say that the reason for being wary of the righteous primordial Primordial Spirit in the Heaven Stele Secret Realm is that there are too many of them.

So just now—

She and Wu Jiu were only two people, and with the strength of the Old Devil Du Tian, they could have been easily killed, yet she let them leave so easily.

Thinking about it that way.

"If they don't even care about the Primordial Spirit, why would they kill the two sects 'Core Formation True Person?"

The Heavenly Dragon Goddess, with a clear mind, glanced deeply at Mount Gui below. "Forget it, let's not provoke him. Let's just wait for this Old Devil to ascend!"

He stopped thinking about it and rode away with Wu Jiu on the wind, leaving the North Sea.

The Battle of Mount Gui.

It was left unresolved.

Twelve years later.

Kongling Gorge, Celestial Star Sect.

Where waterfalls cascade and springs splash, creating a spectacle of "Twenty-Four Pearls," a unique sight, it rises abruptly from amidst dense reefs and turbulent waters, lying across the Chengyang River.

Above the Twenty-Four Pearls, a waterside pavilion was built.

Watch the waterfalls and flowing springs, and listen to the surging river.

It has quite a beautiful view.

This day.

Splash!

Inside the Twenty-Four Pearl Waterside Pavilion, the three Primordial Spirit of the Celestial Star Sect gathered and sat cross-legged.

Grandmaster Muyang, dressed in an Eight Trigrams robe with the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, sat in the center. He looked at Wu Jiu and Lu Qingfeng in front of him and said with a smile, "After I ascend to immortality, I will trouble you two junior brothers to take care of the Celestial Star Sect."

He was usually serious and meticulous, but today he looked relaxed.

It's like a person encountering a joyous occasion, something truly special.

"Senior brother, you flatter me. This is my duty."

Wu Jiu quickly responded, looking at his senior brother Mu Yang, who was relaxed and had a rosy complexion, but he also sighed, "Senior brother has worried about the sect for 3,900 years. It's just that the disciples in the sect are not up to par, which has made senior brother stay for so long and unable to ascend."

The Celestial Star Sect, based in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, has a long-standing ancestral precept that clearly states the matter of ascension.

For example, Azurewood Valley.

Only nine Primordial Spirit remain in the sect at all times; those who exceed this number are ranked according to seniority and ascend in turn.

Six or seven hundred years ago, Xun Bai in Azurewood Valley advanced to the Primordial Spirit, and only Xun Tianxing, who had the highest qualifications and cultivation, was able to ascend.

The Celestial Star Sect is slightly weaker and does not require nine Primordial Spirit. As long as there are two Primordial Spirit in the sect, the others can ascend.

Previously.

It seems like it will never happen.

However, twenty or thirty years ago, Lu Qingfeng broke through the twenty-seven layers of the Formation Mountain and will ascend to the Spirit Domain in the future. He will be a direct disciple of Patriarch Qin Feng Celestial Star Sect and has a deep connection with the Celestial Star Sect.

That's why Grandmaster Muyang took it so seriously and invited Lu Qingfeng to the Celestial Star Sect.

Now, two or three decades have passed.

Grandmaster Muyang could no longer contain himself and decided to ascend to immortality.
