Volume 5: Seven Dao Sects Chapter 42: Late Jindan Period
Lu Qingshan walked out of the secret room, his face showing a slight sense of relief and a bit of melancholy after his great revenge.
"For sword cultivators, there is nothing wrong with taking revenge," said Great Master Zhuanzhu, with mixed emotions. But when he saw Lu Qingshan coming out, he still nodded and said, "But the group elimination match of the Seven Realms Discussion will begin tomorrow. You should hurry back and prepare well, adjust your state, and don't let these things affect your performance in the future."
Lu Qingshan said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, Great Master Zhuanzhu."
After saying goodbye to the two powerful monks, Lu Qingshan quickly left.
Looking at Lu Qingshan's gradually disappearing figure, Great Master Zhuanzhu smacked his lips, looking a little conflicted.
What you can't get always causes unrest.
"This Sword Sect has recruited only peerless geniuses, so it has become increasingly powerful. And because it has become increasingly powerful, nine out of ten true swordsmen have entered the Sword Sect in the end." Great Master Zhuanzhu sighed, "If this cycle continues, the Sword Sect's dominance will only become more and more obvious, and latecomers will have no chance of catching up..."
After Lu Qingshan and Great Master Zhuanzhu left, King Qingmei walked into the secret room again and looked at the thirteen monks from the underworld who had become corpses, with a frown on his face.
This battle with the underworld seemed to be unexpectedly smooth, but in fact, King Qingmei had a question in his heart that could not be explained.
These Nascent Soul cultivators are all Shura's subordinates, under his command, and their status themselves is not high.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for them to come into contact with someone of Chang Geng's status, and judging by the interrogation, this is indeed the case .
Why, then, did the exposure of these people's identities force Sect Leader Chang Geng to immediately explode and resolutely reveal his own identity, doing something that seemed like he was escaping but was actually seeking his own death?
This doesn't seem like being forced, but more like going with the flow.
Is there another conspiracy?
Not quite.
After all, for a cultivator of such a prominent status as Master Chang Geng, the underworld must have spent a lot of effort and paid a huge price to develop him into an insider, so how could they be willing to abandon him?
The battle that started off well but ended badly resulted in a thick fog that made it impossible for King Qingmei to see through it.
…
Back in the wooden building, Lu Qingshan's expression became serious, and his thoughts were flying.
Although he has been trying to change the plot line between the underworld and the human race, due to his own lack of strength, this is the first time he has truly changed history.
Regarding the incident in Lundao City, although most people did not know what exactly happened, they also did not know that the true identity of Chang Geng, the head of Huanling Sect, was actually an accomplice of the underworld and had been caught.
But such a big commotion still had a huge impact, causing many monks to talk about it.
In previous lives, the Seven Realms Forum was held all the way until its end, and this kind of turmoil had never occurred.
And if he remembered correctly, by the time of the finals, Master Chang Geng was still the presiding monk of the Seven Realms Discussion, and everything was peaceful.
Even before he traveled through time, the identity of Master Chang Geng had not been revealed.
The positive impact brought about by the arrest of such a prominent underworld spy should be far-reaching.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but glance at the King of Western Rat, who had no idea what he had done, and felt a little amused.
Because fundamentally, such a big turning point in history is all thanks to this spiritual mouse in front of us.
No matter how well-planned or ingeniously designed the underworld is, it will always be uncovered by the King of the West's inexplicable and unreasonable good luck, which seems to be a case of using force to defeat cleverness.
Could this be the legendary fool defeating the master?
Lu Qingshan murmured.
No longer thinking about these things, as the Great Master Zhuanzhu said, the most important thing for him at the moment is to discuss the Dao in the Seven Realms.
His eyes turned, and a few lines of small firefly words flashed in front of him.
A terrifying number that had never been seen before appeared in the experience value column of the attribute panel.
The thirteen Nascent Soul cultivators were like lambs to be slaughtered, and it was effortless for him to kill them.
However, all the experience points were given to him, plus the experience rewards for crossing levels, so his current experience points had already broken seven digits for the first time.
1.06 million experience points.
This huge amount of experience points is enough for him to reach the Golden Core Perfection, and it is also his most important reliance if he wants to win the Seven Realms Forum and obtain the reward of the [Great Summer Sutra ].
With a wave of his hand, Lu Qingshan added 500,000 experience points to the Taoist technique.
"【Daozang】upgraded to level 11, spiritual power +1000!"
"Your rank has been raised to the late Jindan stage, and your spiritual awareness has increased by 50!"
"【Daozang】upgraded to level 12, spiritual power +1000!"
…
"【Daozang】upgraded to level 15, spiritual power +1000!"
As the level of his technique improved and his rank changed, extremely exaggerated changes occurred in his body.
Rich spiritual energy continuously appeared in the meridians and dantian, condensing towards the nine-patterned golden elixir in the dantian.
Closing his eyes and concentrating, Lu Qingshan gathered all the spiritual power in his meridians into his dantian and concentrated on breaking through.
A vortex of spiritual energy quickly formed above the golden elixir, and it grew larger and larger, absorbing spiritual energy faster and faster.
In the process of constantly absorbing spiritual energy, the appearance of the golden elixir became more and more round, transforming into an insatiable giant beast, devouring all the spiritual power gathered in Lu Qingshan's dantian.
In just a few breaths , the terrifying spiritual energy was devoured by the Nine-Patterned Golden Pill.
The next moment, the size of the golden elixir suddenly expanded, directly increasing from the size of a broad bean, and its shape became more solid, and then, a blazing purple-gold light flashed by.
It’s done! Late Jindan stage!
Lu Qingshan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes shining with brilliance.
His experience points were enough for him to break through to the Golden Core Perfection, but unless it was necessary, Lu Qingshan was still prepared to endure it for a while.
After all, he was still a mid-stage Jindan cultivator three days ago.
It is understandable that within three days, one can smoothly break through from the middle stage of the Golden Core to the late stage of the Golden Core because of sufficient accumulation.
But he did not leave Lundao City during these three days. He rested in the wooden building and naturally did not encounter any special opportunities.
In this case, if he completed the leap from the middle stage of the Golden Core to the perfect Golden Core in an extremely exaggerated manner, it would seem too shocking and would inevitably attract some cultivators with ill intentions to do something bad.
So after thinking about it for a while, Lu Qingshan raised his cultivation to the peak of the late Jindan stage, and then stopped abruptly.
…
On the morning of the third day, Lu Qingshan was sitting quietly in his wooden building when suddenly a voice rang into his ears.
"The 10,000 contestants of the group elimination tournament, come out to the square and gather, and prepare to go to the small world of Dao Discussion! The group elimination tournament officially begins today! Those cultivators who want to watch the game can also go to the Dao Discussion World to watch the game!"
The majestic voice spread throughout the city.
Lu Qingshan suddenly opened his eyes, looking energetic.
It’s finally begun, the group elimination round.
This means that this Seven Realms Forum is coming to an end.
Because once the group elimination round is over, the next thing will be the final.
In the residential area, the top ten thousand monks in the re-examination of the Fengling Tower gradually walked out of their respective wooden buildings and gathered in the square.
As soon as he arrived at the square, Lu Qingshan saw a burly man in a white robe suspended in the air.
He was tall and strong, with a deep aura, and exuded a terrifying aura.
The burly man in a white robe looked down at the crowd. When he saw that everyone was present, he waved his hand and countless rays of light spread out, covering their bodies.
An inexplicable pulling force emerged, as if trying to draw them in.
Lu Qingshan felt that he still had enough strength to resist the pulling force, but he did not do so. Instead, he let the spiritual light pull him.
"Don't resist." The burly man's majestic voice sounded.
The next moment, all the cultivators were sucked in and teleported to the Dao Discussion Realm.
