Time Passes; Prepare the Troops for War!

North Sea.

Yuan Gui City.

Han Ling'er and Lu Qingfeng sat facing each other.

"Black Dragon True Lord has completely set his sights on you."

"Although the teacher forced you to retreat this time and promised not to personally deal with you again, the implication is that he will definitely send Primordial Spirit or True Immortal to come."

Han Ling'er looked at Lu Qingfeng and saw that the latter was calm and not at all surprised. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "From now on, you little Daoist will never have a peaceful day."

Ignoring Han Ling'er's teasing, Lu Qingfeng asked curiously, "True Immortal cannot enter the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, so how could the Black Dragon send True Immortal to deal with me?"

Lu Qingfeng, Primordial Spirit cultivator, was not afraid.

However, facing a Mahayana True Immortal, especially one who has cultivated for a long time and possesses profound cultivation, is still quite troublesome for Lu Qingfeng, given his current cultivation level. If the opponent also has a killing move in hand, he could suffer a great loss.

We must be on guard.

"Even I, an immortal, cannot enter the Mountain-Water Realm, but I have countless ways to deal with you."

Han Ling'er sneered, "Do you know that you've offended not only the Black Dragon True Lord, but also the Flame God Palace? With the Flame God Palace's power, dispatching one or two Battle City Lords would be easy. They could then set up Battle City outside the Mountain-Water Realm, sealing off the void inside and out. They could use the Battle City to search for your whereabouts and then send out Dao Soldiers to deal with you. With the Star-Annihilating Crossbow, Demon-Slaying Ballista, and other weapons of war in the outer city aimed at you, how many lives do you have to withstand it?"

The methods of immortals are numerous.

In the vast Spirit Domain, there are many more.

For example, Xun Zhenbei.

He had previously sent his clones down to the mortal realm and had also sought out a curse-killing treasure, but unfortunately, Lu Qingfeng had broken through them all, and he himself suffered the consequences and lost a lot.

However, Xun Zhenbei was only a newly ascended True Immortal who had ascended less than 20,000 years ago, and his energy was limited.

Lu Qingfeng is still able to survive.

Now.

He offended the Flame God Palace and the Black Dragon True Lord. His killing of the Three-Eyed Divine Hound and the Fire Crow Divine Son Flame God Palace had already caught the eye of Earth Immortal, earning him their attention.

The ones who will deal with him next will not be the same as before.

"True Immortal."

"Battle City".

Lu Qingfeng's brows relaxed.

He was not afraid of any of these things. As long as there were Dao Soldiers in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, he would kill Dao Soldiers all.

Seeing this, Han Ling'er understood Lu Qingfeng's thoughts, and her sneer deepened. "You don't think so?"

With Fairy Han guarding the Mountain-Water Realm, who would dare to march into the Battle City?

Lu Qingfeng said with a smile.

Han Ling'er listened and pouted, "Don't flatter me. They have a million reasons to send True Immortal to Battle City. Even my teacher would find it hard to refuse, let alone me."

She pointed to the heavens and said, "You are invincible in the mortal realm, unafraid of Dao Soldiers and crossbows, thinking you are safe. But have you ever thought about it? They are outside, holding up the Battle City, sealing off the inside and outside of the void. When you are forced to ascend to the True Immortal realm, they will swarm you. How can you possibly stop them?"

Ascend!

That's the key point.

Unless Lu Qingfeng is willing to exhaust his lifespan and die an old man in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers rather than advance to the True Immortal realm, he will eventually have to leave the Mountain-Water Realm. Compared to True Immortal or even Earth Immortal like the Black Dragon True Lord, a mere Nascent Primordial Spirit cultivator has a lifespan of at most ten thousand years, which is still a long time, but definitely more than Lu Qingfeng can afford to waste.

"Ascension?"

"So that's what you were planning."

Lu Qingfeng felt a strange sensation.

If what Han Ling'er said is true, Flame God Palace and the Black Dragon True Lord are willing to keep at it until he ascends or dies, that would be perfect.

Regardless of whether he has the path of Han Ling'er and Patriarch Qin Feng, allowing him to easily traverse the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers as a cultivator of the Celestial Star Sect, even if he were to achieve True Immortal on his own, there would likely be no True Immortal in the world who could stop him.

Damn!

This is the ideal outcome, and also the situation he fears the least.

While pondering.

Han Ling'er's voice came from beside him, "If you trust me, before the two True Immortal and Battle City arrive, I will send you to Heaven-Piercing Gorge. There, with my teacher in charge, neither the Flame God Palace, the Black Dragon True Lord, nor Vermilion-Glow Mountain will dare to act recklessly."

"..."

"Does the fairy have summoned this scourge of mine back to his sect? Does Patriarch Qin not mind?"

Lu Qingfeng looked at Han Ling'er.

"I knew you wouldn't trust me."

Han Ling'er snorted and stood up. "The Black Dragon True Lord is weak and has no True Immortal under his command. But with his abilities, he can summon any Battle City lord willing to serve him. The Flame God Palace is a large and powerful family. Chao Jue's master, the Three Mountains True Lord, has many disciples, including two True Immortal. However, they are all currently fighting in the outer realms, and it won't be easy to recall them. You still have a few years of carefree life left, so cherish it."

The sound was melodious.

Han Ling'er had already disappeared beyond the clouds.

"The Three Mountains True Lord".

"Black Dragon True Lord".

Lu Qingfeng watched Han Ling'er leave, lost in thought. Finally, he got up and headed towards the city's core.

Since the calamity of the Star-Sucking Demon Spirit and the great calamity of the Outer Realm Devil, the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers have rarely been peaceful.

Time passed.

One year.

Two years.

Three years.

Time flies by like flowing water, and flowing water soothes the wounds of the world.

After killing Chao Jue, Lu Qingfeng was able to catch his breath.

Take advantage of this time.

On one hand, he repaired and modified the Heaven-and-Earth Furnace, and on the other hand, he refined the Quasi-Immortal Artifact 'Eight Desolations Profound Fire Mirror' to create a second clone.

Four years.

Five years.

Six years.

This is the ninth year since the "Calamity of the Outer Realm Devil" was referred to by most cultivators in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers.

The first batch of supplies that Lu Qingfeng purchased through Han Ling'er finally arrived.

In an instant.

The speed at which the Heaven-and-Earth Furnace was infiltrated and modified increased several times.

Furthermore, Lu Qingfeng and Han Ling'er trade once a year, which means that starting from the ninth year, a batch of supplies will be delivered to Lu Qingfeng every year thereafter.

Materials are no longer a limiting factor for Lu Qingfeng.

Half of the proceeds from selling 'Clearbright Spirit Water' are used to exchange for Immortal Crystal, and the other half is used to purchase various materials.

In total.

Each year, one can earn approximately 450,000 Spirit Stone, which can be exchanged for one Immortal Crystal every six years. In addition, there are 1.5 million Spirit Stone available to purchase materials for rebuilding Yuan Gui City.

In addition, there's the revenue from the elixir business and various industries within the Dutian Gate.

This number is still rising.

The thirteenth year.

Lu Qingfeng finally completed the inscription of the Yuan Gui City Heaven-and-Earth Furnace Spirit-Devouring Energy-Expelling Grand Formation. The original Psionic Energy reserves of only 0.014% increased at a rapid speed the moment the array was completed.

Over the course of a year.

That will allow you to accumulate 10%.

It was more than twice as fast as Yuan Gui City before it was destroyed.

It also started from this year.

Lu Qingfeng placed the 'Cloud-Mud Coiling-Silk Cave' in Yuan Gui City and began producing 'Marshwalking Spider'. The most crucial material for producing Marshwalking Spider through the Cloud-Mud Coiling-Silk Cave is Cloud-Mud Stone.

This ore, resembling metal yet not quite, is more like a strange type of soil, possessing immense vitality and shaping power.

This mineral is not found in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers.

Fortunately, Lu Qingfeng had already asked Han Ling'er to purchase supplies in the Spirit Domain.

Other materials, such as refined iron, refined copper, refined silver, and refined gold, can be obtained through the Dutian Gate. They can also be obtained from other immortal sects in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers.

Absolutely not lacking.

Even better, being in the same realm makes transportation convenient and saves them from being ripped off by Han Ling'er.

Blackwater Essence is a material Essence Refinement from seawater.

It just takes skill; it's not difficult.

Whether it's the various sects practicing water magic in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, or Rogue Cultivator of water magic, as long as they are willing to put in the hard work, they can all extract it.

It is also easy to obtain.

With all the materials ready and the Spiritual Qi plentiful, the Marshwalking Spider began to produce a steady stream of resources. Lu Qingfeng relocated Yuan Gui City, choosing a piece of land between the Spirit Mountain Shell Grounds and Yunmeng Marsh.

This place is called 'Black Cloud Island'. It is an island that stretches for more than 1,200 miles and is surrounded by hundreds of other islands of varying sizes, collectively known as the 'Black Cloud Archipelago'.

The Black Cloud Archipelago were originally occupied by a group of Black Cloud Eagle.

Lu Qingfeng drove away the Black Cloud Eagle and occupied the area, making it the location of Yuan Gui City.

Marshwalking Spider were scattered across the Black Cloud Archipelago as a protective barrier. At the same time, Lu Qingfeng also crafted array flags and placed them throughout the Black Cloud Archipelago, setting up Heaven-Sealing Earth-Extinguishing Grand Formation.

Even ordinary Primordial Spirit cultivators would find it difficult to Heaven-Soaring and burrow underground in the Black Cloud Archipelago.

Maximize the role of the Marshwalking Spider.

Furthermore, the waters between the islands are inhabited by the Seven-Star Beauty Serpent, which can handle even fourth-tier Dao Soldiers.

The Seven-Star Beauty Serpent and the Marshwalking Spider work together to become even more powerful.

With the Twelve Demon Gods in charge, as long as there aren't too many fourth-tier Dao Soldiers coming to the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, it won't be a problem.

But.

Not enough!

Lu Qingfeng continued to repair Yuan Gui City.

First, there was a magic array to conceal the investigation and shield the secrets of heaven. Lu Qingfeng had cultivated the Invisibility Technique and the Invert-Grand-Void Glazed Wall. He was also proficient in array formations. Setting up such an array was not difficult for him.

The Battle City is precious.

It must be hidden well, and used as a surprise attack later.

Fourteen years.

Fifteen years.

Sixteen years.

The seventeenth year.

Lu Qingfeng finally refined the Eight Desolations Profound Fire Mirror into an avatar, becoming his second avatar after the Azurewood King Cauldron avatar. For ease of distinction, Lu Qingfeng called it the 'Eight-Wastes Daoist'.

In reality.

He still shares the same will and mind; the only difference is that he has arms and legs.

The Eight-Wastes Daoist Achieved.

Lu Qingfeng's speed in repairing Yuan Gui City immediately doubled.

On one hand, refine the Immortal Crystal to enhance your strength.

On one hand, he instructed the Eight-Wastes Daoist to begin repairing the 'Demon-Slaying Ballista'.

Originally, there were eighteen Demon-Slaying Ballista in Yuan Gui City, powerful weapons of war. However, sixteen were lost in the ensuing events, leaving only two, both of which were completely destroyed. Lu Qingfeng obtained the method for forging the Demon-Slaying Ballista- Demon-Slaying Ballista using 'Evolving Method - Analysis', familiarized himself with the forging process in the "Primordial World," and then obtained materials through Han Ling'er to repair them.

With the original foundation in place and having obtained the refining method, repairing it was not difficult for Lu Qingfeng.

Once repaired, it will become the number one weapon of Yuan Gui City.

Even if a massive wave of Dao Soldiers surges in, these two Demon-Slaying Ballista will surely hold them off, giving the True Immortal who have come to the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers a taste of hardship.

Years have passed.

Lu Qingfeng's preparations are becoming more and more thorough.

But at the same time.

The crisis is also approaching step by step.

Han Ling'er had been keeping an eye on the movements of Black Dragon True Lord and the Flame God Palace for him.

Among them, the Black Dragon True Lord was all alone, rarely seen, and Han Ling'er didn't know True Lord exact location. She only learned that since the battle of the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, the Black Dragon True Lord had crossed the Nine Nether Domain and headed straight for the Cloudwaste Domain.

It's unlikely they'll give up.

It's more likely they'll go to the Cloudwaste Domain to find someone to deal with Lu Qingfeng.

As for the Flame God Palace.

Upon learning of the murder of his disciple Chao Jue, the Three Mountains True Lord of the Flame God Palace flew into a rage. He immediately ordered his second disciple, Zheng Tu, to hand over his military duties and return from beyond the realm. There was no need to return to the Flame God Palace; he was to come directly to the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers to await orders.

The handover was completed a few years ago, and we are on our way back.

Based on the estimated travel time, it should take at least another seven or eight years to reach the destination.

Lu Qingfeng doesn't have much time left.

Only.

To Lu Qingfeng and Han Ling'er's surprise, before Zheng Tu of the Flame God Palace arrived, a Battle City Lord suddenly appeared across the realm and descended upon the Mountain-Water Realm!
