Because of the injury, Lu Qingshan, who originally felt that time was extremely tight and every second counted, was forced to take some time off.
After all, given the current situation, no matter how anxious he was, it would not help at all in recovering from his injuries.
Lu Qingshan, who had been given four or five years of rest, did not choose to study the sword canon again - in fact, in the past ten years, he had read through all the sword canons accumulated by the Sword Sect over the years, and integrated them in the twenty-day battle with Luo Qiantuo, taking the essence to lay the foundation for his own swordsmanship.
He did not worry too much about the affairs of the demon clan - there was no point in worrying, as he was in no condition to draw his sword.
Since you are unable to contribute for the time being, why bother thinking too much and adding to your own worries?
So, Lu Qingshan chose some things that he should have done but had never done.
For example, he summoned his two young disciples, Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu, whom he rescued from the Burning Moon Region, to Qingshan Palace.
The two female disciples were just children back then, but in the blink of an eye they have grown into graceful young ladies. One cannot help but sigh at how quickly time passes.
But in fact, over the years, Lu Qingshan has only given the two of them guidance and instruction a handful of times, so it can be said that he is not a competent master .
Now that he has free time, Lu Qingshan tries his best to make up for it and fulfills the duties of a master.
The two sisters Chuyi and Shiwu were born with spiritual bones: Tianzhi and Difu, and are natural seeds for practicing Taoism.
In addition, although Lu Qingshan had neglected to teach them before, the Sword Sect's cultivation environment and resources were there, so the two people, who were only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, had already reached the perfection of the Nascent Soul stage and could break through to the Void Refining stage at any time, which made Lu Qingshan happy.
After all, there are only a few people like Mo Yan who has a legendary talent + destiny, and Xia Daoyun who has talent + double legendary talents.
Being able to reach the Nascent Soul stage at the age of twenty-five or twenty-six is ​​commendable no matter where you are.
With this level of cultivation, it is not far from awakening the secret method contained in the spiritual bones.
To be honest, Lu Qingshan was still quite curious about what kind of supreme secret method the two disciples' spiritual bones would awaken.
…
Steal a little time to relax from busy life.
Lu Qingshan was enjoying his rare leisure time while waiting for his injuries to improve.
Over in the Burning Moon Region, it was as calm as a pool of spring water.
It was so calm that it seemed as if Xia Daoyun's intrusion into the Burning Moon Region and the seizure of the Battle Method Stele had never happened.
But everyone knows that beneath the calm lies a turbulent situation.
One year after Lu Qingshan returned to Yumen Pass.
Burning Moon Region.
Jianluo King City.
Chi Zun, Ming Zun and Zhan Zun were each suspended in mid-air, and a map drawn by demonic energy appeared in the air in front of them. The demonic energy was rolling, depicting in detail the current dynamics of the entire Burning Moon Region.
“All the kingdoms in the entire region are ready to go, and millions of troops are on standby at any time.” The burly War Lord with disheveled hair took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
It took ten years of preparation and mobilization to bring about the current warlike atmosphere across the region.
"The speed of Huang's expansion is getting faster and faster. According to this trend, in another thirty years, Jianluo King City will collapse and cease to exist." Mingzun said with a heavy heart.
When Lu Qingshan first came to Jianluo King City, Huang had already been born and was constantly devouring all energy to expand the wasteland.
Now, twenty or thirty years have passed, and the size of the wasteland has expanded from just occupying a corner of Jianluo King City to occupying a full 15% of Jianluo King City.
You should know that the expansion speed of the wasteland is not slow and steady, but like an avalanche, it gets bigger and bigger, and grows exponentially.
It can be predicted that in another thirty years, the wasteland will completely cover Jianluo King City.
If the war with humans was imminent before, now it is a matter of time and has to be launched.
"This battle can't be delayed any longer. The big question is when and how to launch it." Zhan Zun said.
The concerns of Life Lord and War Lord are exactly the same. "Although the Black Armor Territory has already started the war, the other five territories are still watching from the sidelines and have no intention of taking action. If we take action now, we will inevitably fall into the same awkward situation as the Black Armor Territory, caught between a rock and a hard place."
Then, they both looked at Chi Zun at the same time, waiting for him to express his opinion.
"What do you think, can Lu Qingshan become a sword immortal?" No one expected that Chi Zun did not express his opinion at the first moment, but changed the subject and turned his attention to Lu Qingshan.
"It should be possible." Zhan Zun thought about it carefully and finally gave a positive answer.
“If the Black Armor Territory hadn’t already acquiesced, I really wouldn’t have believed… that he could actually kill Luo Qiantuo.” Although he was an enemy, Zhan Zun did not hide his surprise and admiration in his words at this moment. “I feel shocked just thinking about it. I really want to see with my own eyes how he did it.”
"If a sword cultivator like this cannot become a sword immortal, who else can?" Ming Zun nodded.
"Yes, he will become a sword immortal sooner or later," Chi Zun's eyes wandered, "He was able to kill Luo Qiantuo at the Tribulation Realm. Regardless of what means he used, if such a cultivator becomes a sword immortal..."
He was talking about a very scary and highly probable possibility.
There was a gleam in the eyes of the War Lord and the Life Lord, and no one knew what they were thinking.
Chi Zun continued, "The Qingyun Sword Immortal has fallen and there is no Sword Immortal at Yumen Pass. This is the best time for us to take action."
"Yes, if we hadn't been so reckless and fallen into the trap of the human race, we would have taken action long ago. But it has been delayed until now, and Xia Daoyun has become a sword immortal." Ming Zun sighed.
When Yumen Pass was at its emptiest, the injuries of the three of them had not yet fully healed, and in order to learn from the lessons of the Heart Demon Clan, they did not want to act rashly, so they chose to continue waiting for the right opportunity to fight.
As a result, after waiting for so long, a Luoshen Sword Immortal appeared.
"So, do we have to continue waiting until the second sword immortal appears at Yumen Pass?" Chi Zun's eyes suddenly became sharp and his voice became cold.
Upon hearing this, Life Lord and War Lord immediately became agitated.
"Don't mention the saying that the first bird to stick its head out dies, not to mention the lesson of the Heart Demon Clan. I only know that there is only one sword immortal in Yumen Pass at present, but in a few years, there may be a second sword immortal." Chi Zun continued, his voice loud and clear.
"There's news from the Black Armor Territory that Lu Qingshan was seriously injured after fighting with Luo Qiantuo and has not recovered yet. That means once the battle starts, he won't be able to fight for a while." He glanced at the faces of the Life Lord and the War Lord. "Of course I know that the Black Armor Territory didn't send the news out of kindness. The real purpose is to drive the tiger to devour the wolf and lure us to send troops to relieve their pressure."
"But so what?"
"At least the news is true."
"Now is the best time to take action." Chi Zun was extremely sure.
"In addition, Luo Hou also sent an extra message." Chi Zun's voice suddenly turned cold, making people's backs cold, "The long-lost clan's sacred weapon... appeared in Lu Qingshan's hands."
"What?!"
"How is that possible!"
The War Lord and the Life Lord exclaimed at the same time.
This news was beyond their expectations.
"What happened back then, and how did the magic sword fall into the hands of a human cultivator?" Chi Zun continued: "I think it should be difficult to find out, but... there is no need to explore too much."
"What we have to do is to take back the magic sword, along with the six battle tablets that Xia Daoyun looted."
"This is a shame for our Bingmo clan."
"Revenge will be taken today."
"As for the dirty tricks between us Saint Demons, let's take over the Human Domain first before worrying about them."
"It's time to start the final war."
Zhan Zun and Ming Zun stared at Chi Zun. Even they felt nervous and excited at this moment.
"Xia Daoyun alone can't stop us!" Ming Zun said affirmatively.
"Last time, the human race had Xia Daozu, so we lost , but this time, there won't be Xia Daozu again." Zhan Zun's voice became unconsciously excited.
The Central Spiritual Realm was almost destroyed, and the Central Martial Realm was also in dire straits, but Daozu Xia never showed up.
There is no doubt that the cultivator who once defeated their entire world with his own strength... is no longer here.
There was a terrifying light in Chi Zun's eyes, and his will was extremely strong.
"We have no way out." He looked towards the wasteland.
It is desolate and empty, cold and desolate.
"By taking over Yumen Pass, we will gain new territory and a new future."
"The losers will have no choice but to perish together in this realm."
"Start the war!" Chi Zun said firmly.
"Let the war begin!"
"Let the war begin!"
The Lord of War and the Lord of Life were also determined, with madness in their eyes.
At this point, there is no other choice but to go to war.
