Seven Years and Five Months

"Puff!"

Lu Qingfeng, who had kept his distance, was severely injured when the mark on the divine flag was shattered. He spat out a mouthful of blood and barely managed to maintain his balance.

As for the Demon King Hunshan, the Scattered Adept Blazing Fire dissipated, and the Demon King was eventually reduced to dust, vanishing without a trace in the wind.

It's pitiful that he didn't know Lu Qingfeng's true identity before he died. He also didn't know that the minor cultivator Spirit Void he casually killed back then would lead to such a terrible consequence.

However, for the Demon King Hunshan, knowing nothing might be a blessing in disguise.

If he knew that the Spirit Void Cultivator killed him today was not only an ant he casually swatted away back then, but also the culprit who Curse him three times, causing him to be trapped in Zhouyuan Mountain for six hundred years, he would probably either self-destruct or be so angry that he would vomit blood and die.

"She is indeed fierce."

Lu Qingfeng's face was pale, and he shook his head.

At the Core Formation stage, Law Power gathers in the Dantian, condensing into Golden Core. A self-destruction at this stage would be extremely powerful. However, Lu Qingfeng was protected by the Dutian Blazing Fire Immortal Formation, which shielded him from the destructive force, leaving him unharmed. His injuries were solely due to the dissipation of the refining mark within the divine flag.

With a little care, it will heal completely.

However, the Demon King Hunshan, upon his self-destruction, was annihilated, losing both his soul and spirit, and had no chance to be reincarnated.

That's truly brave!

That's truly fierce!

Perhaps he has been plagued by a six-hundred-year Curse, which has clouded his mind.

The impending refinement of the Curse is a cause for great joy.

Encountering Lu Qingfeng's visit and facing a Life and Death ordeal is a great tragedy.

In the midst of extreme joy and sorrow, one's behavior becomes somewhat extreme. A normal Core Formation True Person, even after death, has the hope of awakening the Past-Life Wisdom of their past life upon reincarnation. Although they will ultimately be different from their previous life, they are at least given a second chance at life and can reach the peak once again.

Therefore, even when facing certain death, a person who has reached the Core Formation would never dare to self-destruct.

The Demon King Hunshan's move was extremely unwise, and Lu Qingfeng had not anticipated it.

"Your Majesty!"

"The king is dead!"

When the great and small demons on Zhouyuan Mountain saw the Blazing Fire Immortal Formation dissipate and the Demon King Hunshan vanish, they were immediately terrified and scattered in all directions.

Lu Qingfeng touched the blood at the corner of his mouth, his face was pale, and his legs felt unsteady. He did not give chase.

Using the Dutian Blazing Fire Immortal Formation to refine the Demon King Hunshan was incredibly powerful, but it also consumed a great deal of energy. Lu Qingfeng was merely Spirit Void Cultivator with limited True Essence. If he hadn't been practicing Orthodox-Grade Cultivation Method, and hadn't possessed more than one, he would have been exhausted long ago.

Fortunately, Lu Qingfeng had a profound foundation and cultivated three Orthodox-Grade Cultivation Method, making his True Essence several times or even dozens of times deeper than that of other cultivators of the same level.

In addition, the immortal array was powerful, and the Demon King Hunshan was affected by the Demonic Baleful Entangling Silk Divine Curse, which prevented him from unleashing his full strength. In recent years, he had also been tormented by the curse, making no progress and his cultivation had stalled at the second stage of Core Formation — the Solid Core Realm.

One rises as the other falls.

Only with his Spirit Void form could Lu Qingfeng kill the Core Formation Demon King. Even so, the Demon King Hunshan's self-destruction destroyed Lu Qingfeng's centuries of refining efforts, forcing him to start all over again.

The gale stopped, and the downpour ceased.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the sky cleared.

"A demon king must have considerable wealth."

Lu Qingfeng retrieved the twelve scattered divine flags, then swept through the Demon King Hunshan's cave abode, exclaiming, "Incredibly—"

Lu Qingfeng's eyes widened when he saw the corpse lying in the corner of the Demon King Hunshan's cave abode. He then showed a look of surprise and put it away with a wave of his hand.

"This place is no place to linger!"

The commotion caused by setting up the Blazing Fire Immortal Formation to kill the Demon King Hunshan was too great, and coupled with the Demon King Hunshan's self-destruction, it had already alarmed everyone. The Hongsha Demon King in the Red Sand River is closest to Zhouyuan Mountain, and is probably already on his way.

Lu Qingfeng dared not be careless. He used both the Qi-Concealing Technique and the Concealment Technique at the same time to conceal his movements and quickly leave Zhouyuan Mountain.

Not long after Lu Qingfeng left, a sinister-looking young man in a red robe arrived. His eyes scanned the surroundings, and he reached out to grab a small demon. "What just happened here?!"

"Your Majesty, spare my life!"

"There was a human cultivator just now..."

The little demon was terrified and recounted in detail how Lu Qingfeng had arrived and killed the Demon King Hunshan.

"Dutian Blazing Fire Divine Banners!"

Who is it?

The Hongsha Demon King looked at the desolate and barren main peak of Zhouyuan Mountain, a look of fear flashing in his eyes, and finally returned to the Red Sand River.

At the border between Tianxing Prefecture of Yuanwu Country and Jian Prefecture of Yue Country, in Nameless cave abode, Lu Qingfeng sat cross-legged.

In front of him lay a pill and a corpse.

The elixir shimmered with a brilliant light, emanating a rich yang energy.

[Essence: Longevity Pill]

[Grade: Rank 6]

[Note: This product is made from Dragon-Pattern Grass, Windbell Flower, and dozens of other precious spirit medicine. It can extend lifespan by a hundred years if taken by those below the Core Formation Stage, including those at the Core Formation Stage.]

"Longevity Pill!"

It is unknown where the Demon King Hunshan obtained such a pill.

At first glance, the Longevity Pill may not seem as precious Rejuvenating True Water, but in reality, at the Postnatal and Foundation Establishment, a quarter of one's lifespan is less beneficial than directly increasing one's lifespan by a hundred years. Only at the Spirit Void (eight hundred years of lifespan) and Core Formation (three thousand years of lifespan) levels can the value of the Rejuvenating True Water be realized, far surpassing that of the Longevity Pill.

Lu Qingfeng picked up the pill, played with it in his hand, and his eyes revealed surprise. With this pill, combined with his ability to Evolving Method Analysis, he could refine it in reality as long as he found the materials.

Although the Dragon-Pattern Grass and Windbell Flower, two sixth-tier spirit medicine, and dozens of fifth-tier and fourth-tier spirit medicine are hard to find, it's still a viable path, and it doesn't conflict with the effects of the Rejuvenating True Water. This might not be useful to Lu Qingfeng, but it could be a matter of life and Life and Death for Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu.

Lu Qingfeng suppressed the urge to immediately analyze the 'Longevity Pill' and looked at the corpse in front of him.

The corpse was a huge butterfly with yellowish-brown-orange wings, black veins and edges, and two strings of fine white spots along the edges. There were some orange spots near the tip of the forewings.

It's the Black-Veined Golden-Spot Butterfly!

"The Demon King Hunshan actually killed the Black Vein Great King?!"

When Lu Qingfeng saw the corpse of the Black Vein Great King in the cave abode the Demon King Hunshan, he was truly shocked. The Black Vein Great King was a powerful henchman of the Demon King Hunshan. Lu Qingfeng had paid much attention to him over the years. He had heard that more than two hundred years ago Black Vein Great King had accidentally perished while undergoing the Forty-Nine Tribulation Lightning, and his remains were never found.

Unexpectedly, the corpse was in the hands of the Demon King Hunshan.

"What does the Demon King Hunshan want the corpse of the Black-Veined Golden-Spot Butterfly?"

Lu Qingfeng made a mental calculation with his fingers.

In the blur, one could almost see the Black-Veined Golden-Spot Butterfly successfully Tribulation Transcendence, yet it was riddled with wounds. A War Ape, wielding a long staff crackling with starlight, suddenly leaped from a hidden spot in the void and brought the staff down—

"That Demon King Hunshan— "

Lu Qingfeng's gaze swept over the massive body of the Black-Veined Golden-Spot Butterfly, and he saw the terrifying burn marks on its body. This was the fatal blow inflicted by the Demon King Hunshan.

As he was calculating, a sudden pain shot through his finger, and Lu Qingfeng stopped his deductions, unable to figure out what considerations led the Demon King Hunshan to kill the Black-Veined Golden-Spot Butterfly.

However, he himself had a very strange idea. "If the Evolving Method can analyze Law Artifact and pills, can it also analyze something from the corpses of divine beasts?!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingfeng's eyes lit up and he felt a sense of anticipation.

Without delay, we immediately began the analysis.

There was no rush to dispose of the Black-Veined Golden-Spot Butterfly corpse. To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, Lu Qingfeng decided to analyze the Longevity Pill first to ensure everything went smoothly.

Time passes.

Eleven years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The game spans four generations of prosperity, and seven hundred and forty-three years pass in the blink of an eye.

Seven years and five months have passed in reality.

Lu Qingfeng and his group have been in the Weeping Marsh for more than seven years.

Lu Qingfeng just celebrated his 28th birthday a few days ago.

For the past seven years, Lu Qingfeng has focused on "The Primordial World." In reality, aside from his daily cultivation practice, he mostly just crafts puppets.

Even so, he has reached the Sixth Layer True Qi Realm. At most, he will be able to touch the bottleneck on the path to Foundation Establishment in three to five years.

In addition to his cultivation level, Lu Qingfeng also mastered an Orthodox-Grade Cultivation Method—

The Twelve Dutian Demon God Method!

This Cultivation Method was derived by the Rogue Person Blazing Fire from the Twelve Dutian Blazing Fire Divine Banners, and the original version was only of the Unorthodox Grade. Because the Rogue Person Blazing Fire's comprehension was limited, it was not comparable to the "Twelve Dutian Baleful Gods Method." However, after Lu Qingfeng strengthened it to the Orthodox Grade, it far surpassed the "Twelve Dutian Baleful Gods Method," so Lu Qingfeng did not waste his experience points to exchange for the Unorthodox-Grade Cultivation Method derived from the Evolving Method Analysis.

The Twelve Dutian Demon God Method is Demon Dao cultivation method, profound and unfathomable. During cultivation, one gathers the thoughts of demon gods from the void of the universe and visualizes the twelve Dutian Demon God, which can aid the cultivator in battle. Simply storing Law Power can also allow a cultivator practicing this method to possess at least one and at most twelve times more Law Power than a cultivator of the same level practicing the same method.

Lu Qingfeng was able to activate the Dutian Blazing Fire Immortal Formation at Zhouyuan Mountain and refine the Demon King Hunshan thanks to this method.

In the Postnatal stage, this method can only visualize a demon god with the same cultivation level as oneself, but it lacks agility and change, resembling a rigid puppet.

The benefits of storing Law Power outweigh its practical use in combat.

Lu Qingfeng enhanced the "Twelve Dutian Demon God Method" to the Orthodox Grade, strengthening its combat capabilities and allowing Lu Qingfeng to unleash seventy to eighty percent of his power. The higher one's cultivation level, the more demon gods one can visualize, and the more terrifying they become.

Even now, with Lu Qingfeng's Sixth Layer True Qi Realm, the Zhurong Demon God he visualizes has a beast's head and a human body, covered in red scales, with fire snakes piercing his ears and fire dragons under his feet. He can unleash the Dutian Blazing Fire and the Zhurong Divine Flame, making him exceptionally powerful.

With the help of the demon god and the foundation of two Orthodox-Grade Cultivation Method, "Luofu Sword Canon" and "Iron Refining Body Refinement," Lu Qingfeng's combat power far exceeds that of the True Qi Realm and cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

"The Yellow Court Scripture's characteristic of 'Dominion over All Arts' allows me to practice many Cultivation Method and Technique Method at the same time. Even if they conflict with each other, I can achieve a balance and even enhance and complement each other."

Lu Qingfeng has studied it for a long time and has his own understanding of the characteristics of 'Dominion over All Arts'.

With three Orthodox Grade cultivation methods at his disposal, he possesses three layers of True Qi, which is three times that of a cultivator practicing the same Orthodox-Grade Cultivation Method. In addition, due to the special nature of the "Twelve Dutian Demon God Method," he gains an additional two times the True Qi even in the Postnatal stage.

Lu Qingfeng's current total amount of True Qi is four times that of a cultivator practicing Orthodox-Grade Cultivation Method!

Compared to cultivators of the same level who practice Unorthodox Grade, Refined Grade, or even Beginner Cultivation Method, their True Qi is at least eight times, and sometimes as much as thirty-two times greater, and its quality is incomparable to the former three!

He can freely change the attribute of his True Qi, and he has also mastered several Divine Ability and more than ten Transcendent-Grade Spell and High-Grade Spell.

With profound foundations and countless hidden strengths!

Looking across the Human Realm, it would be difficult to find a cultivator of the same level who could rival Lu Qingfeng.

"Just by cultivating three Orthodox-Grade Cultivation Method at the same time, the various consumptions are three times or even more than those of a cultivator who usually cultivates only one Cultivation Method."

Every advantage has its disadvantages.

For Lu Qingfeng, who was adept at making money, the benefits of cultivating three different Cultivation Method at the same time far outweighed the drawbacks.

However, he was currently in the Weeping Marsh, and without materials, he had nowhere to practice alchemy or weapon crafting, let alone exchange them for cultivation resources.

Before reaching the Late True Qi Realm, it was alright, but once you reach the Sixth Layer True Qi Realm, it becomes somewhat difficult.

"It's time to leave the Weeping Marsh!"

Lu Qingfeng stood up and stepped out of the Giant Tortoise Puppet.

Over seven years, Lu Qingfeng crafted fifty Spider Puppet.

The further east you go in the Weeping Marsh, the denser the Spiritual Qi and the richer the resources become.

Dharma Form to the actual territory of Biyang Lake, but it is many times better than Shangyang Country.

Lu Qingfeng spread the Spider Puppet around, searching for various refining materials. Five years ago, he found the materials to refine an advanced version of the Thousand Mechanisms Stone and successfully refined a 'Tier-Two Thousand Mechanisms Stone,' which made the puppet's sensing range reach a terrifying level of 22 million miles.

More than enough to explore the Weeping Marsh.

They cultivated and crafted puppets while traveling.

Besides the Spider Puppet, Lu Qingfeng successively crafted five more Mysterious Sword Puppet. These were level five puppets, with combat power comparable to those in the Origin Nurturing Realm. They were also the strongest puppets Lu Qingfeng could craft using the materials he had collected from the Spider Puppet.

There is a lack of materials for crafting higher-level puppets.

There are plenty of materials for lower-level puppets, so they can be crafted. However, the level is too low, and their combat power is limited. No matter how many are crafted, they will not be able to defeat experts at the Spirit Void or Core Formation.

Judging from the current situation, the five Mysterious Sword Puppet are more than capable of being put to great use.

However, in order to explore the Weeping Marsh and control the Shangyang Country, Lu Qingfeng took some time to refine fifty Truth-Destroying Type One, one hundred Azure Butterfly Puppet, and ten Phantom Shadow Puppet.

The latter two are Fourth-Level Puppet, which are not difficult for Lu Qingfeng, who is already a level four weapon refiner, to refine and will not take much time.

With the Azure Butterfly Puppet and the Truth-Destroying Type One exploring, the path to the Biyang Lake area was quickly cleared.

Lu Qingfeng spoke slowly and deliberately.

Using Giant Tortoise Puppet for transportation, one can't go fast even if one wants to.

But more than seven years later, they still reached the edge of Biyang Lake.
