Brother Zhu, might I ask the price of Clearbright Spirit Water here? First update!

This ferocious beast had eight legs, each gleaming with an eerie light, resembling sharp, long knives that inspired fear. Its entire body was as if forged from iron and stone, further emphasizing its formidable strength. Its eyes were cold and piercing, revealing its ferocity at a glance.

Although it was only the size of a yellow dog and its aura was only equivalent to that of someone who had just entered the Core Formation, its ferocity was extraordinary.

Upon seeing the ferocious beast, Lu Qingfeng's eyes lit up slightly. "Is this the strange beast 'Eight-Legged Blade Chi' that Brother Zhu subdued?"

On the way here.

Zhu Yang then explained in detail the cause and effect of being chased by the Ten-Beast Vajra, with the 'Eight-Legged Blade Chi' being the main reason. Seeing this distinctive beast, how could Lu Qingfeng not recognize it?

"Exactly."

Zhu Yang nodded, then reached out and, seemingly out of nowhere, summoned a giant python. The python, breathing out clouds of mist, looked extremely terrifying. Yet, it cowered in a ball before the Eight-Legged Blade Chi, trembling beast.

"The Eight-Legged Blade Chi feeds on snakes and pythons, and this Profound Yin Beauty Serpent has an excellent taste and is the Eight-Legged Blade Chi's favorite."

Zhu Yang Yangchong explained to Lu Qingfeng.

After the Eight-Legged Blade Chi pounced and chopped the Profound Yin Beauty Serpent into dozens of pieces in a few strokes, the Eight-Legged Blade Chi, "Go eat over there."

Despite its fierce appearance, the Eight-Legged Blade Chi was extremely obedient.

Huffing and puffing.

The Profound Yin Beauty Serpent, cut into dozens of pieces, was moved to an empty stone chamber in the cave abode and quickly devoured.

"The Eight-Legged Blade Chi has immense potential, is naturally drawn to killing, and has the sword's legacy flowing in its bloodline. Once it reaches adulthood, it will be at the Primordial Spirit Peak stage. If it has a bit of fortuitous opportunity, reaching the True Immortal level will be a piece of cake."

"Brother Zhu is very fortunate."

Lu Qingfeng turned his gaze away from the Eight-Legged Blade Chi and smiled at Zhu Yang.

This Eight-Legged Blade Chi, though a ferocious and mentally deficient beast, is precisely because of this that it can focus on studying killing and the art of the sword.

Understanding this profound truth is actually much easier for them than for ordinary cultivators.

It can be said to be uniquely blessed.

If Zhu Yang can control this beast and nurture it carefully, he might gain another powerful True Immortal -level helper.

That's truly gratifying.

"Brother, you flatter me."

"It's just a shortcut."

Zhu Yang smiled too.

Clearly, he also knew that once the Eight-Legged Blade Chi was trained, it would be of great help to him.

The two chatted about the Eight-Legged Blade Chi, and then about their future plans.

"In the Lesser Dragon-Tiger Realm, the Dao of Alchemy lineages such as Azurewood Valley all take Vermilion-Glow Mountain as their leader. It is said that there are Attainment of the Dao immortals cultivating in this mountain. Xun Zhenbei, the patriarch of the Xun Household who traveled more than 10,000 miles Mount Zhouyou and ascended from the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, also has this Vermilion-Glow Mountain behind him."

"Also."

"The Formless Zen Monastery on Lantuo Mountain to the west is the origin of the Six Dust Temple in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers."

"Brother, you have incurred the wrath of Azurewood Valley and Six Dust Temple in the lower realm. Now that you have ascended, Vermilion-Glow Mountain and Formless Zen Monastery will likely not let this go easily. To be on the safe side, it would be best to leave the Lesser Dragon-Tiger Realm as soon as possible."

Zhu Yang ascended to heaven four hundred years ago.

Their knowledge of the enemies Lu Qingfeng had provoked was limited to four hundred years ago.

Unbeknownst to them, besides Azurewood Valley, Six Dust Temple (also known as Vermilion-Glow Mountain and Formless Zen Monastery in the Lesser Dragon-Tiger Realm), this person in front of them had also offended Chilian Mountain Black Dragon True Lord and Nine Suns Ridge Flame God Palace.

Even because he received the inheritance of the Nine Universes Immortal in the Heaven Stele Secret Realm, he could not distinguish friend from foe among the Violet Spirit Fairy in the Seven Severances Mountain and the Plum Blossom Wanderer in the Plum Blossom Cave of Jade-Congealing Cliff.

Even worse.

Lu Qingfeng's acquisition of Yuan Gui City is somewhat related to the Ice-Snow Divine Palace in Lesser Cold Mountain.

So, let's calculate it this way.

In the Lesser Dragon-Tiger Realm, almost all the major forces were hostile to him, and the One-Line Heaven-Piercing Gorge could be considered one of his own. However, in terms of his identity as the 'Daoist Du Tian,' Lu Qingfeng only had some connection with Han Ling'er, the third disciple of Patriarch Qin Feng of the One-Line Heaven-Piercing Gorge.

In crucial moments, it proves useless.

In this way.

Looking around, one truly sees enemies everywhere.

"Brother Zhu is absolutely right."

"That's exactly what I was thinking."

Lu Qingfeng said.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yang frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Approaching the Lesser Dragon-Tiger Realm, the Lesser Wuding Realm to the west is full of the Buddhist Sect cultivators, making it difficult to hide. The Lesser Nether Capital Realm to the east is in a chaotic situation, and although it is more dangerous, it is the most suitable place to hide."

Although Zhu Yang has never left the Lesser Dragon-Tiger Realm since his ascension, he has gained some understanding of the two adjacent realms to the east and west of the Lesser Dragon-Tiger Realm through eavesdropping and questioning. His intention at this moment is to suggest that Lu Qingfeng go to the 'Lesser Nether Capital Realm' to the east.

"Lesser Nether Capital Realm?"

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

This realm borders the Lesser Dragon-Tiger Realm. Although the two realms within the Nine Nether Domain are extremely far apart, making it difficult for them to communicate, even True Immortal would find it hard to know the recent situation in their neighboring realm. However, for powerful forces like the Flame God Palace, Chilian Mountain, and Vermilion-Glow Mountain, once exposed, they would likely find out very quickly.

The distance is still not far enough; it's not quite right.

"The Spirit Domain is vast, and its mountains and rivers are teeming with powerful demons and monsters, making escape extremely difficult. Even for Nascent Primordial Spirit cultivators, traveling alone is hopeless; only True Immortal can possibly escape over hundreds of years. There are air routes between the realms, but they are extremely expensive, and most are controlled by major powers. If one is not careful, one might be discovered by Vermilion-Glow Mountain and Formless Zen Monastery before even leaving the realm."

Zhu Yang frowned and looked at Lu Qingfeng, saying, "I wonder if you have any other plans, brother?"

The Spirit Domain is vast and boundless.

Ordinary flight is really slow.

In the Earth Immortal Realm, without Great Divine Ability, ordinary True Immortal can forget about traveling to the Four Great Continents. In the Azure Dragon Mountain region, most True Immortal only operate within that area, which is at most a million miles in radius.

In other words, the Heavenly Court controls the heavens and the earth, while the Thunder Ministry holds great power.

Only the Marshal's Manor and General's Manor, where Lu Qingfeng resides, can use the power of heaven and earth to mobilize troops and generals to travel throughout the world.

Even the True Immortal would never have such convenience.

The same applies to the Spirit Domain.

Zhu Yang arrived early and was aware of the difficulties involved.

"Intend?"

Lu Qingfeng smiled, pointed east, and said, "This humble Daoist will not stay in any Nine Nether Domain, but is preparing to go to the Outer Realm Battlefield to cultivate."

"Outer Realm Battlefield?"

Zhu Yang looked puzzled.

He ascended to heaven four hundred years ago, yet he had no idea where this 'Outer Realm Battlefield' was or what it was all about.

"Brother Zhu, you don't know?"

Seeing Zhu Yang's confusion, Lu Qingfeng hesitated as well.

"I don't know."

"However, this Spirit Domain is vast, and even within the Lesser Dragon-Tiger Realm, I, Zhu, only have a smattering of knowledge about it. This Outer Realm Battlefield sounds like it's located outside the realm; I wonder what this 'realm' refers to?"

As Zhu Yang spoke, he looked at Lu Qingfeng and asked, "Brother Dao, where did you learn about the 'Outer Realm Battlefield'? Do you know how to get there?"

"This Outer Realm Battlefield, I too came from—"

Upon seeing this, Lu Qingfeng immediately recounted in detail the information he had obtained from Han Ling'er regarding the 'Outer Realm Battlefield'.

Outer Realm Battlefield.

This 'domain' refers to both the 'Spirit Domain' and the 'realm,' meaning the battlefield Nine Nether Domain or even outside the Spirit Domain.

According to Han Ling'er.

Beyond the realm dwell numerous Demonic Spirit, coveting the Spirit Domain—

"Violence and cruelty are demons, cunning and malice are spirits."

Therefore, these Outer Realm Demon Spirit are all violent, cruel, cunning, and vicious. For example, the Star-Sucking Demon Spirit from outside the Mountain-Water Realm sneaked in through gaps in the defenses of the Outer Realm Battlefield.

They are always ready to overturn an entire world.

In the Outer Realm Battlefield, Devil Creature like the Star-Sucking Lord and the Star-Sucking Demon Spirit are countless and overwhelming. Since when, the major powers of the Spirit Domain have set up numerous defensive lines around their respective realms, using Grotto-Heaven, Blessed Lands, Daoist Domain, and dojos, with hundreds of millions of cultivators.

For example, Nine Nether Domain, there are seven lines of defense.

The further outwards you go, the more dangerous it becomes. But danger is accompanied by opportunity. For example, Chao Jue, the Fire Crow Divine Son Flame God Palace who died at the hands of Lu Qingfeng, honed his skills on the Outer Realm Battlefield, developing superb combat power and rapid cultivation, and accumulating wealth comparable to True Immortal.

Honing one's skills in battle.

Rare treasures enhance strength.

Elixirs and miraculous medicines can enhance one's cultivation level.

In this way.

Every one who survives the battles on the Outer Realm Battlefield is a top performer among their peers.

When Lu Qingfeng decided to use his 'Eight Desolations Avatar' to leave the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, Han Ling'er suggested that Lu Qingfeng go to the Outer Realm Battlefield to hone his skills. Although Lu Qingfeng didn't need to hone his cultivation through battle, the rare treasures and elixirs of the outer realms were still attractive to Lu Qingfeng.

Even fighting abroad can provide an opportunity to build connections.

This will greatly benefit him in his future battles against the Flame God Palace, Chilian Mountain, Vermilion-Glow Mountain, Formless Zen Monastery, and even Seven Severances Mountain and Jade-Congealing Cliff.

Furthermore,

Lu Qingfeng brought the 'Du Tian City' with him this time. If he were to display it within the Lesser Dragon-Tiger Realm, it would be incredibly powerful, but ultimately too conspicuous. Once released, it would surely spread far and wide, and his enemies would discover it in no time.

Rather than that.

It would be better to try one's luck on Outer Realm Battlefield.

With his 'Eight Desolations Profound Fire Mirror' and the 'Du Tian City' in hand, he has no fear of even top-tier True Immortal. If given some time to realize all the designs and ideas for the Battle City in 'Primordial World', he can even put up a fight against Earth Immortal.

At that time.

Even if it splits into two, it is still very useful.

"In that case, this 'Outer Realm Battlefield' is indeed a good place." Zhu Yang's eyes lit up after hearing this.

He rose from humble beginnings in the lower realms, overcoming countless obstacles to achieve his current success, and has never been afraid of challenges. Upon learning of the 'Outer Realm Battlefield,' he was not afraid at all, but rather greatly interested.

"Brother Zhu, you also have some ideas?"

Lu Qingfeng looked at Zhu Yang and asked.

"Of course there are."

"However, the exact situation of the 'Outer Realm Battlefield' and how to get there are still unknown."

Zhu Yang said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng immediately smiled, "Going to the Outer Realm Battlefield is not difficult. Places Flame God Palace, the Ice-Snow Divine Palace, and Vermilion-Glow Mountain recruit Primordial Spirit cultivators and even True Immortal cultivators from among the Rogue Cultivator every once in a while, and send them to the Outer Realm Battlefield together with their own Primordial Spirit and True Immortal disciples. This serves two purposes: firstly, to replenish manpower, and secondly, to train their own disciples."

"Two years from now, the One-Line Heaven-Piercing Gorge will recruit Rogue Cultivator and send them to the Outer Realm Battlefield. I have some connections with Fairy Han in the One-Line Heaven-Piercing Gorge, and with her recommendation, it won't be difficult to be selected. Moreover, once we arrive at the Outer Realm Battlefield, I can join the ranks of Fairy Han's two senior brothers because of my connection with Fairy Han."

"Those two each control a Battle City, and have a large number of soldiers and generals under their command, making them quite powerful."

"If you and I go, we won't be completely clueless and be used as cannon fodder."

Seeing that Zhu Yang was interested, Lu Qingfeng added fuel to the fire.

Zhu Yang is exceptionally talented.

In less than two thousand years, he cultivated himself into a top expert in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers.

In the span of three thousand years, he had already reached the Primordial Spirit Peak.

Their future is undoubtedly bright.

Even if he doesn't become Earth Immortal, as long as he doesn't perish midway, he will at least have a place among the top-tier True Immortal.

It has great potential.

In addition, he also possesses an Eight-Legged Blade Chi, once fully developed, will also make him a top-tier True Immortal in combat.

He and Zhu Yang were old acquaintances, sharing a bond of friendship. Today, he had saved Zhu Yang's life, further deepening their mutual gratitude.

Going to the Outer Realm Battlefield together will make things much easier, as we won't have to worry about being alone anymore.

If only by chance...

Zhu Yang's ability to become Earth Immortal is an even greater act of kindness.

"I am honored by your high regard, fellow Daoist. I am willing to accompany you to venture into the Outer Realm Battlefield." Zhu Yang stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lu Qingfeng, and said in a deep voice.

"Ha ha!"

"With Brother Zhu here, things outside the borders are much more interesting."

Lu Qingfeng smiled, and as he was thinking about discussing the details with Zhu Yang, he suddenly seemed to remember something and couldn't help but ask Zhu Yang, "Brother Zhu, is there any 'Clearbright Spirit Water' for sale in Azure Nether Mountain, and what is its price?"
