Chapter 429: Domineering magic power!
Lu Quanzhen ran for several more miles.
The poisonous miasma here was even denser, flowing like a mist in the air.
Even though Lu Quanzhen’s Physical Body was extraordinary, and he had a magic robe and a magic shield protecting him, he still felt his body being eroded by wisps of poisonous Qi.
“This kid just broke through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, how can he last so long?”
The Tall Man looked at Lu Quanzhen, who was constantly running, his expression gloomy.
He had thought that once they entered the Black Mist Swamp, the other party wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.
But after so long, he still seemed perfectly fine.
“We can’t go any further. This place has already entered the true Black Mist Swamp, filled with many dangers. Poisonous insects and Vicious Beasts could appear at any time.”
The Tall Man shouted to the others.
These words also reached Lu Quanzhen’s ears.
But he ignored them and continued forward.
“Damn it, this kid is going so deep, does he have some means to not fear the poisonous miasma of the Black Mist Swamp?”
The Tall Man looked at Lu Quanzhen, who was almost disappearing into the poisonous mist, his expression changing between gloomy and bright, but in the end, he decided to give up the pursuit.
Throughout this chase, he had already seen that Lu Quanzhen was not simple.
Now that they had entered the Black Mist Swamp, if he continued to pursue, he might very well fall into danger himself.
Immediately, the Tall Man instructed the others to seal off this area.
He then led a few people back, waiting for Lu Quanzhen to appear.
After all, the Black Mist Swamp was filled with poisonous Qi, constantly eroding the Cultivator’s flesh and blood, requiring the expenditure of magical power to isolate it.
And the Spiritual Qi in the Black Mist Swamp was filled with poisonous Qi, which ordinary Cultivators simply could not absorb and refine.
They could only rely on Medicinal Pills and Spirit Stones to recover.
Therefore, even if Lu Quanzhen had extraordinary means, he couldn’t hide inside for a long time.
“Have they given up?”
Lu Quanzhen saw the Tall Man and the others give up the pursuit, his eyes narrowed slightly, pondering how to break free.
It was very difficult to break through the encirclement now.
The only way was the ‘Substitute Talisman’ given by his father.
But unless it was absolutely necessary, truly a desperate situation, he still didn’t want to use this Substitute Talisman.
After much thought, Lu Quanzhen finally came up with a plan.
It was just that he wasn’t sure if this method was feasible, and he was a bit hesitant.
“Uncle taught me the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Art. The first part is the Yin Yang Five Elements Kunpeng Art, and the second part is the Kun Peng Heaven Devouring Magic Skill.”
“This Kun Peng Heaven Devouring Magic Skill can devour the Origin of living beings and all kinds of Heaven And Earth Spiritual Qi. Perhaps it can devour the poisonous miasma and poisonous Qi here.”
Lu Quanzhen pondered in his Heart-Nature.
Although his uncle had instructed him not to Cultivate the latter half of the Kun Peng Heaven Devouring Magic Skill until he broke through to Core Formation.
But after transforming the Five Elements Kunpeng Art into the Yin Yang Five Elements Kunpeng Art, he had gained some insight into this half of the Demonic Technique.
He understood why his uncle didn’t want him to Cultivate this Cultivation Technique.
Because this was a forbidden Cultivation Technique, a naked Demonic Technique!
It involved devouring and refining the essence, Qi, and spirit of other living beings for one’s own use.
Once Cultivated, unless one dispersed their cultivation, they would be unable to switch to other Cultivation Techniques.
Furthermore, during the Cultivation process, due to devouring the Origin, essence, Qi, and spirit of others, it was very easy for one’s Heart-Nature to be affected, leading to Qi Deviation, or even the Physical Body exploding and dying.
Moreover, breaking through Realms with this Cultivation Technique was several times more difficult than with ordinary Cultivation Techniques.
When breaking through from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation, it might even trigger a Heart Demon Tribulation, or even a Lightning Tribulation.
“Although I haven’t Cultivated the latter part, the Yin Yang Five Elements Kunpeng Art and the Kun Peng Heaven Devouring Magic Skill are one. Through the refining secret art within it, perhaps I can refine the poisonous miasma here.”
After pondering for a moment, Lu Quanzhen decided to give it a try.
If it was feasible, he would not only solve the current crisis but also gain several more means.
Immediately, Lu Quanzhen glanced in the direction of the Tall Man, continued forward, found a giant rock, released the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm to act as his Protector, and then sat cross-legged, circulating the Yin Yang Five Elements Kunpeng Art.
“Whoosh—”
He saw a small fish, flowing with Yin and Yang Five Elements, slowly swimming in his Qi Sea Dantian.
“Heaven Devouring Art!”
Lu Quanzhen circulated the secret art of the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Art, and his body slowly manifested dark black runes, like tadpoles, terrifying and mysterious.
During this process, his small fish, flowing with Yin and Yang Five Elements, gradually transformed into a small fish with dazzling blood light, as if it was about to soar into the sky at any moment, transform into a Kunpeng, and devour the heavens and earth.
“Buzz—”
After an unknown amount of time, black runes flowed over Lu Quanzhen’s body, and his eighty-four thousand pores were like black holes, emitting a terrifying aura.
“Roar!”
The blood-colored small fish roared, transforming into a ferocious and terrifying Kunpeng behind Lu Quanzhen, like an abyssal Vicious Beast, trying to devour the Souls of others.
The poisonous miasma that had infiltrated Lu Quanzhen’s body instantly boiled, being refined into Rolling Spiritual Qi by a domineering force.
“Hiss, this secret art is so domineering!”
After a long while, Lu Quanzhen suddenly opened his eyes, his expression both surprised and shocked.
He was surprised that it could indeed devour and refine poisonous miasma, just as he had guessed.
He was shocked by how domineering this secret art was.
He hadn’t even Cultivated the Kun Peng Heaven Devouring Magic Skill yet, and merely circulating the Yin Yang Five Elements Kunpeng Art had such astonishing effects.
If he were to master the Kun Peng Heaven Devouring Magic Skill, how astonishing would the effect be!
“Why does Uncle possess such a domineering Demonic Technique!?”
Lu Quanzhen murmured in his Heart-Nature, very surprised.
Having been in Jin Country for so many years, he had seen many Demonic Techniques that allowed for quick cultivation.
But compared to his own Cultivation Technique, they were like heaven and earth!
“Although I can refine the poisonous miasma through the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Art, it will still be very difficult for me to break out of here.”
Lu Quanzhen thought to himself, knowing that his crisis had not yet been resolved.
“This swamp mountain range is very dangerous, and ordinary Cultivators dare not enter. Perhaps there are some Opportunities or Heaven And Earth Treasures.”
“Since I am not afraid of the poisonous miasma, I can fully explore this place. Perhaps I can gain some Opportunities and find other exits.”
Lu Quanzhen surveyed his surroundings.
In fact, he had another option in his Heart-Nature.
That was to directly Cultivate the Kun Peng Heaven Devouring Magic Skill.
As long as he Cultivated this Cultivation Technique, he could quickly increase his strength by devouring Vicious Beasts, or even the group of people outside, thereby resolving the crisis.
However, considering his uncle’s instructions and worrying about other side effects after Cultivating this Cultivation Technique, he temporarily abandoned this idea.
Otherwise, in his opinion, this was a very good choice.
As for the Cultivation Technique being against the Dao and being completely Demonic Path, Lu Quanzhen felt it was fine and had no particular feelings about it.
He held onto his Heart-Nature, believing that he would not be lost by this power and would be able to control it.
“Heart-Nature…”
Lu Quanzhen chuckled softly, looked at the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm, which was emitting a ferocious and bloodthirsty aura beside him, gently raised his palm, and put it into his sleeve.
Then he glanced in the direction of the Tall Man and the others, narrowed his eyes, and strode towards the depths of the swamp.
Bihu Mountain.
Lu Family Mansion.
“Inside these are a Foundation Establishment Pill, a Divine Sense Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object…”
Lu Changsheng looked at his children in front of him and said.
His son, Lu Yunlou, and daughter, Lu Xingyue, had finally finished their Market tasks and returned to Bihu Mountain.
As for these two children, Lu Changsheng did not take them to the Xumi Grotto-heaven to Breakthrough.
Instead, he prepared Foundation Establishment Pills, Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, and Medicinal Pills for nourishing their Foundation for them, and let them return to Qingyun Sect to attempt Foundation Establishment.
“This…”
Lu Yunlou and Lu Xingyue were both in a trance when they saw the Medicinal Pills and Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects their father handed them.
Even though they had been hearing about their Family’s affairs all these years and knew that their Family was now extraordinary and had access to Foundation Establishment Pills.
But they never expected that their father would give each of them a Foundation Establishment Pill.
One had to know that even children of large families, or even Sect Disciples, could not all have a Foundation Establishment Pill; they needed to rely on their own efforts and competition.
“Son thanks father.”
Lu Yunlou took a deep breath and bowed respectfully.
He knew that without the Family’s support, relying on himself, at most he could exchange for a Pulse Protection Pill and one or two Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects before he was sixty, in order to attempt Foundation Establishment.
With his 6th Grade Spiritual Root, he would most likely have no chance of Foundation Establishment.
If he accepted this gift, then he would have a good chance of breaking through to Foundation Establishment and becoming a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!
“Daughter thanks father.”
Seeing this, Lu Xingyue hesitated for a moment and also accepted the gift.
“When you return this time, spend more time with your mothers. They miss you very much.”
Lu Changsheng said with a gentle expression.
These two children used to come home often in their early years, but as time passed, the number of times they returned gradually decreased.
This time, when they took on Sect missions, they hadn’t been home for several years.
“Yes, father.”
The two respectfully responded and then walked out of the main hall.
Looking at the familiar scenery of Bihu Mountain, their expressions were still a little dazed, as if they were dreaming.
They never expected that the Foundation Establishment Pill they had longed for for so long would be obtained so easily.
“Brother Yunlou, congratulations in advance on your hopeful Foundation Establishment.”
Lu Xingyue said to Lu Yunlou.
Although the brother and sister were not from the same mother, they both joined the Qingyun Sect, and their relationship was still very good.
She knew that although this brother was reclusive, his belief in Foundation Establishment and seeking the Dao was much firmer than her own.
Most of his time in these years was spent earning Spirit Stones, just thinking that he could then exchange for more Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects to attempt Foundation Establishment.
“I believe you, Xingyue, can also break through to Foundation Establishment.”
Lu Yunlou took a deep breath, nodded, and said.
Immediately, the two went to pay their respects to their mothers and visit their younger siblings at home.
“Alas…”
Lu Changsheng looked at the receding figures of his two children and sighed softly.
Since they had been Cultivating in the Qingyun Sect for a long time, they would inevitably be a little less close to their Family.
Just like when his son, Lu Qingshan, came home, he wasn’t particularly close to most of his siblings, except for a few individuals.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but think of his daughter, whom he had never met, far away in Jin Country.
She had grown up in the Five Poison Sect under Nangong Mili’s care and upbringing since she was young. Even if he brought her back, it would probably be difficult for her to integrate into the Family.
“But I still have to go see her.”
Lu Changsheng sighed in his Heart-Nature and returned to the Xumi Grotto-heaven, continuing to look at Bai Ling, who had transformed into a platinum light cocoon, wondering how long it would take for her to emerge from the cocoon.
“I wonder how Zixiao and Ping’an are doing.”
At this moment, Lu Changsheng thought of the Family’s caravan.
Calculating the time, it had been more than three months since Lu Ping’an and the others departed.
Their Family merely auctioning a Foundation Establishment Pill at the Hongye Valley Market had caused such a stir.
The establishment of a merchant association would surely make some forces restless, secretly taking action to obstruct it.
“Unless a Nascent Soul True Lord takes action, I don’t think there will be a big problem.”
Lu Changsheng gently shook his head, missing his daughter, Lu Linghe, a little.
At this very moment.
Ling Zixiao, along with her son Lu Lingxiao, Lu Linghe, and Lu Ruyi, were inspecting a Market, preparing to purchase a shop.
When they were almost done, they came to a restaurant for a meal.
“I heard that a few days ago, a Foundation Establishment Pill was auctioned at the Hongye Valley Market, attracting five Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivators to act.”
“These five Robber Cultivators weren’t after the Foundation Establishment Pill, but rather the Bihu Mountain Lu Family. I happened to be at the Hongye Valley Market at the time…”
“Tsk tsk tsk, this Bihu Mountain is truly remarkable. Back then, Old Ancestor Lu Changsheng, not long after Foundation Establishment, single-handedly killed three Foundation Establishment Cultivators and established the Bihu Mountain Lu Family. Now, a daughter actually killed five Foundation Establishment Cultivators.”
“Hmph, it’s just relying on Talismans. If I had a good father and could casually burn a few hundred Talismans, I’d also have that combat power.”
“If I were the son of a Nascent Soul True Lord, wouldn’t I soar even higher!?”
“To be honest, I suspect Bihu Mountain now probably has ten Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators!”
“Whether they do or not, the Bihu Mountain Lu Family is now considered the number one Cultivation Family below the six False Core families.”
In the main hall, many Cultivators eating were chatting and gossiping.
Many of them were discussing Bihu Mountain and the Hongye Valley Market incident.
After all, this matter was a rare major news story in the Qingyun Territory at the moment, so it was naturally widely spread.
“Fairy Talisman Lu Wangshu, single-handedly killed five Foundation Establishment Cultivators?”
Lu Lingxiao was stunned when he heard this, his expression surprised and doubtful.
He had planned to challenge this older sister after his business trip was over.
But he never expected to hear news of her here.
Single-handedly killed five Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivators!?
This was too astonishing, wasn’t it?
Even though he was confident that his strength was unrivaled among those of the same Realm and far surpassed ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he was still shocked by this news.
“Wow, Big Sister is so amazing!”
Lu Linghe, who was next to him, heard this, her small mouth slightly open, her face full of excitement and surprise.
Then she looked at her older brother, Lu Lingxiao, and said, “Brother, are you still going to challenge Big Sister when you go back? Why don’t you just forget about it.”
“Wangshu killed five Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivators!?”
Lu Ruyi was also a little bewildered.
In her opinion, being unrivaled in the same Realm was already very powerful.
As for fighting one against five and killing them all, even as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, she couldn’t imagine such a scene for a moment.
“Xiao’er, what, are you discouraged?”
Ling Zixiao, in a lake-blue palace dress, with her hair done up in a high bun, looked dignified and elegant, and smiled gently at her son.
Perhaps having witnessed Lu Changsheng’s methods, she wasn’t too surprised by such a feat.
However, seeing her son in such a state, as a mother, she naturally needed to comfort him.
“No, I’m just a little surprised.”
Lu Lingxiao gently shook his head.
His face was strong and well-defined, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to his mother, Ling Zixiao.
Especially his eyes, even though his golden pupils were concealed, they were still bright and piercing, his gaze like a torch.
Ling Zixiao knew that her son was always unyielding, and she chuckled, “Wangshu is a Talisman Cultivator. If she has enough Talismans, forming a Symbol Array with them, indeed no one of the same Realm is her opponent, and challenging those of higher Realms is easy.”
“However, a Symbol Array is not invincible.”
In her early years, due to her Dragon’s Roar Body, she was unable to Cultivate, so she spent a lot of time on Symbol Arrays and had a deep understanding of them.
She knew that Symbol Arrays were not truly invincible.
Like most Formations, they would have weak points.
If one could find these weak points during a battle and break through the Symbol Array, using close-combat and other methods, then the Talisman Cultivator would be unable to use subsequent means.
