"After a few days, once these Qi Refining disciples have digested what they have learned today, they will each go down the mountain in groups and recruit more disciples to return."
"The spirit medicine in the Azurewood King Cauldron are enough to last for a very long time."
Lu Qingfeng said to Zhang Yang and the Human Path.
The number of disciples at Sea-Gazing Peak is far too small, making it difficult to satisfy Lu Qingfeng. Although it's unlikely that Sea-Gazing Peak will grow stronger in the short term, it's always good to prepare early.
After discussing the development of Sea-Gazing Peak, Lu Qingfeng bestowed upon Zhao Dahai and Zhao Qi each a superior flying sword material before dismissing the three of them.
Righteous Heart Hall.
After walking some distance away, Zhao Dahai and his son Zhao Qi held the dark and eerie 'Demon Shark Spinal Thorn' in their hands, their faces beaming with smiles.
They are father and son, even their smiles are exactly the same.
Zhao Qi smiled.
Yesterday, all my gloom was swept away, and even my usual depression and sullenness dissipated.
"With this treasure, my 'Azure Jiao Sword' will definitely be greatly improved."
Zhao Qi carefully put away the 'Demon Shark Spinal Thorn' in his hand before looking at his aunt Zhang Shu, and asked curiously, "Aunt Shu, quickly take a look at the 'Azurewood King Cauldron' bestowed by the Ancestral Master."
The patriarch said that there were thousands of spirit medicine in this cauldron, which piqued Zhao Qi's curiosity.
Zhang Shu and her late mother Zhang Jing were sisters, so there was no need for them to be strangers.
Zhao Dahai also looked at his wife's younger sister.
"Good."
Zhang Shu was also looking forward to it, and probed the Azurewood King Cauldron with her Divine Sense.
As far as the eye could see, strongmen with blue headscarves were busy everywhere, carrying hoes and spades, and baskets of herbs on their backs. In the mountains, forests, and waters, herb gardens had been cultivated, with all kinds of spirit medicine everywhere, and a rich medicinal fragrance filled the air.
The three of them were so shocked that they stood there dumbfounded.
Zhang Shu and the other two left.
Only Lu Qingfeng, Zhang Yang, and Qin Fan remained in the Righteous Heart Hall.
Seeing Lu Qingfeng's wealth and power, clearly indicating his intention to make a big splash, Qin Fan was filled with excitement and flattered him, saying, " With our Sea-Gazing Peak, Great Victory Sect is in for trouble."
They are both located on the Five Hells Peak.
Sea-Gazing Peak and Great Victory Sect are at odds, and there will be no shortage of friction among the True Immortal within the sect. Qin Fan truly has no goodwill towards the Great Victory Sect whatsoever.
Seeing that he could suppress Great Victory Sect, Qin Fan was naturally delighted.
"Great Victory Sect".
Lu Qingfeng smiled and looked at Zhang Yang, "The Great Victory Patriarch of the Great Victory Sect is said to be one of the 'Peach Mountain Three Immortals'?"
He traveled from Whitecloud Mountain to Five Hells Peak, and along the way he heard a lot about the situation in the Southern Borderlands and the Central Lands. He also knew a lot about the background of the two factions on Five Hells Peak.
Asking at this point is less about confirming with Zhang Yang and more about signaling an omen.
"Good."
"The Great Victory Patriarch, along with the East Sea Wine Sword Immortal and the Peach Mountain Sect Leader Yu Zhenzi, are collectively known as the Three Immortals."
Zhang Yang replied.
Then, without waiting for Lu Qingfeng to ask any more questions, she recounted the situation in Peach Mountain.
He then added, "In the Lesser Weakwater Realm, the so-called Four Sacred Grounds of the Righteous Path— Peach Mountain, Heavenly Heaven Mountain, North Sea, and Snow Ridge —are the four top immortal sects and ancient temples in the Northern Frost Snow Domain: Peach Blossom Sword Sect, Jade Dragon Sect, Langhuan Heavenly Abode, and Great Mount Sumeru."
Zhang Yang's expression was solemn as he said to Lu Qingfeng, "The four sects each have Earth Immortal in the Northern Frost Snow Domain. In the Lesser Weakwater Realm, they are the leaders of the righteous path. Their sects already have many true True Immortal, and they also lead the righteous path of the world, so their strength is unimaginable. Although I have killed about twenty True Immortal from the four sects over the years, most of them were at the level of Three Calamities and Nine Difficulties, which did not cause any real Sinew and Bone to the four sects."
Qin Fan listened from the side.
This time, there was no barrier separating them, and he heard it clearly.
At first, I was puzzled that my master and grandmaster were talking about the Great Victory Sect but then they brought up Peach Mountain. Later, when they heard about the Northern Frost Snow Domain, I was completely confused.
In the end, when he heard Zhang Yang say that he had killed more than twenty True Immortal from the Peach Mountain Four Sects, a storm suddenly surged in his heart, making Qin Fan's scalp tingle.
"Turn out to be!"
"So there were more than three True Immortal."
"No wonder Master didn't want to talk to me much about Peach Mountain. They slaughtered over twenty True Immortal; that's a deep-seated hatred. Is Master worried I'll get dragged into it?!"
Qin Fan was slightly lost in thought.
Those are the 'Four Sacred Grounds,' said to control the entrance to the 'Spiritvoid Immortal Realm' and the existence of the 'Spiritvoid Immortal Gate.' Not only can they communicate with the immortals of the upper realm, but they also possess the Immortal Artifact 'Haotian Mirror,' which can see a person's past three lives and has power that even ghosts and gods cannot withstand.
In other words, Immortal Artifact are domineering and cannot be used casually.
In addition, the Four Sacred Grounds are compassionate and unwilling to commit more killings. Whenever the battle between good and evil reaches its final stage and they have the absolute upper hand, they intentionally let the others live.
Even though Lion Ridge had long been torn apart, they did not exterminate them.
This is why the current situation exists in the Lesser Weakwater Realm.
My master and grandmaster actually have Blood Sea with such a behemoth, the sacred land of the Human Path?!
"This is probably—"
"I'm afraid we can't win!"
Qin Fan thought to himself, feeling a sense of unease but no fear.
I composed myself and continued listening.
Ignoring Qin Fan's shock, Zhang Yang continued, seeing his teacher deep in thought, "I have maintained a good relationship with Lion Ridge over the years."
"Recently, Lion Ridge has been trying to unite with True Immortal sects and immortals to fight against Peach Mountain. Unfortunately, they are ultimately a disorganized group and it is difficult for them to work together. In addition, the four sects are backed by the Northern Frost Snow Domain, and the True Immortal in each sect possess a supreme treasure, making them extremely powerful. Leaving behind the Lion Ridge and their lineages is only to hone their disciples, and it is not easy to overthrow them."
This is also the most despairing place—
The entire Lesser Weakwater Realm is merely a chessboard for the four factions to hone their True Immortal.
No matter the situation, it is always under the control of the other party.
Numerous True Immortal and Law Artifact artifacts await outside. If any changes occur in the Lesser Weakwater Realm, and True Immortal descend to the mortal realm wielding their supreme treasures, they should be able to stabilize the situation within a hundred or eighty years at most.
There is absolutely no room for change.
Zhang Yang guessed that even if one survived the Five Declines of Heaven and Man and became Earth Immortal, one would still have to face the four sects of immortals after ascension, which would be quite dangerous.
Not to mention.
Over the years, there have been many True Immortal at the Nine Difficulties and Ten Tribulations levels in unorthodox sects like Lion Ridge and Three Wanderers Cave, but those who can survive the Ten Tribulations and reach the Five Declines of Heaven and Man are extremely rare.
Not a single one of them was able to survive the Five Declines of Heaven and Man.
Clearly, overthrowing the four factions is an incredibly difficult task.
"Continue to maintain contact with Lion Ridge, while distinguishing between those who belong to the evil sects and those who are not evil Loose Immortal. Keep your distance from the former and try to befriend the latter."
After listening to the situation of the four factions and the Lesser Weakwater Realm, Lu Qingfeng had a plan in mind.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment. "Even if the evil sect's True Immortal and the four scattered Loose Immortal join forces, they are still no match for the four sects. If they split up, they will be even less of a threat. Even those Loose Immortal have different thoughts—some want to transcend, some have grudges against the Peach Mountain Four Sects, and some simply want to take advantage of the chaos to make a quick buck and steal some treasures and elixirs to get through the calamity."
Zhang Yang assumed that Lu Qingfeng disliked the indiscriminate killing of innocent evil cultivators and wanted to win over those Loose Immortal on his own. He was worried that his teacher would be greatly disappointed, so he brought it up in advance.
"It's alright."
"Just do it."
Lu Qingfeng knew what was going on, but it wasn't the right time to explain it to Zhang Yang.
"Yes."
Seeing this, Zhang Yang had no choice but to nod in agreement.
In this way.
The arrangements for Sea-Gazing Peak's affairs are now complete.
Seeing that Zhang Yang only had a Golden Ring Law Treasure, which seemed rather meager, Lu Qingfeng bestowed upon him the "Six-Yang Azure-Spirit Demonbane Armor," which was also a supreme treasure of the sect. In terms of its wondrous uses and power, it was even superior to Qin Fan's "Duer Immortal Robe."
Wearing it makes one impervious to water, fire, Golden Blade, and even the most powerful Law Treasure. It also possesses the wonderful ability to become invisible, allowing one to move freely on the ground and disrupt the enemy's concentration—it's simply unparalleled.
With it for self-defense, there is nothing to fear.
After.
Lu Qingfeng left Sea-Gazing Peak, Five Ghosts Transport him to a remote and uninhabited place deep in the Southern Borderlands in the blink of an eye.
"Three Calamities".
"Let me see how powerful it is."
Lu Qingfeng looked up at the sky.
His Law Power and Primordial Spirit continued to grow stronger, and his energy level rose steadily.
In the blink of an eye, a critical point was reached.
Three Calamities have befallen us.
In the Lesser Weakwater Realm, those who do not hear the Great Dao and cannot become immortals will be subject to Three Calamities that will erode and devour them. If they remain unenlightened, all their efforts will be in vain.
What are the Three Calamities?
The first disaster was a 'Wind Calamity'.
"Such a fierce wind, sharp as a blade and keen as an awl, pierces through the top of the head, and within a short time, it penetrates all the joints and bones, reaching the Yongquan point (Kidney 1). The hair on the limbs turns white, and the body is instantly freed, turning into feathers and drifting away without a trace. This wind is not the wind from the east, west, south, or north, nor is it the wind blowing through the flowers, willows, pines, or bamboos; it is called the 'Bi Wind.' It blows into the six internal organs from the fontanelle, passes through the Dantian, and penetrates the nine orifices, causing the bones and flesh to disintegrate, and the body to dissolve itself. Therefore, one must avoid it."
"This is a 'Wind Calamity'."
Standing atop Nameless mountain deep in the Southern Borderlands, Lu Qingfeng unleashed his full Law Power, causing Wind Calamity to descend and a fierce wind to strike.
Whoosh!
The fierce wind struck the top of his head, aiming to completely erode Lu Qingfeng, turning him into feathers that would vanish from the world, along with his physical body and Primordial Spirit.
"You think a little Wind Calamity can hurt my fur?"
Lu Qingfeng unleashed his Law Power and activated his profound skills.
In a short while, the fierce wind raged within his body, yet it could not harm him in the slightest. It could only help him slightly temper his Law Power, refine his Primordial Spirit, and temper his physical body.
After a short while...
Lu Qingfeng's billowing robes returned to their original state.
We survived the Wind Calamity.
But he kept going.
As the fierce wind subsided, his Law Power and Primordial Spirit began to grow stronger.
Ordinary cultivators can advance to become True Immortal.
After five hundred years of cultivation, Wind Calamity struck.
Five hundred years later, Fire Calamity struck.
Five hundred years later, Thunder Calamity will strike.
However, there are also cultivators with exceptional talent who can cultivate to the point of possessing five hundred years of Law Power in less than five hundred years.
Therefore, the Three Calamities will occur earlier than expected.
At this moment, Lu Qingfeng was constantly increasing his Law Power and cultivation level, actively triggering the Three Calamities.
It's tough for others.
Moreover, calamities are inherently dangerous, and even those who cultivate rapidly will usually suppress their Law Power, waiting until the five-hundred-year deadline arrives and are fully prepared before Tribulation Transcendence.
But Lu Qingfeng was highly skilled and daring.
Moreover, accumulating Law Power and advancing in cultivation level are extremely easy.
It only requires releasing a small amount of the original Law Power and Primordial Spirit hidden within the 'Invert-Grand-Void Glazed Wall' to achieve this.
In the blink of an eye:
Fire Calamity has broken out.
What is a 'Fire Calamity'?
"It burns from bottom to top, penetrating the crown of the head, attacking the internal organs, and scorching the limbs, pores, and hairline, turning everything to ashes in an instant. This fire is neither heavenly fire nor ordinary fire; it is called 'Yin Fire.' It starts burning from the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of the foot, penetrating straight to the Niwan Palace, turning the five internal organs to ash, and causing the limbs to decay, rendering a thousand years of arduous practice futile."
"This is a 'Fire Calamity'."
Lu Qingfeng stood still, and then saw Fire Calamity descend from the sky and engulf him.
