Chapter 621: The Daluo Sword Embryo shows its power for the first time!
The Zeng family of White Poplar Mountain.
This was a newly emerging Foundation Establishment family, with only some local reputation, lacking any presence in the entire Yue Kingdom.
At this moment, in a cave dwelling shrouded in mist behind White Poplar Mountain, there was a gurgling spring eye emanating pure spiritual energy.
“Golden Sun Sect, Lu Qingshan.”
Beside the Spiritual Eye Spring, a figure cloaked in black, with an indistinguishable face, sat cross-legged.
“This person is a top genius on the Yue Kingdom’s list. If I can kill him, it will be a great achievement.”
“Although his father is not a Yue Kingdom cultivator, he is a Core Formation cultivator. If I kill him as well, it will be a significant accomplishment. In half a year, I can return and report.”
Tu Yuan looked at the communication message in his hand, his expression indifferent.
To think that he, as a Nascent Soul seed of the Heavenly Fiend Sect, a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, was moved by his senior brother to Beast God Mountain due to the Heavenly Fiend True Lord falling into the hands of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the power struggles within the sect, and was arranged to infiltrate and carry out assassination missions in the Yue Kingdom.
One must know that this kind of infiltration into the enemy’s rear is fraught with danger, a near-death experience.
Especially since he is a Nascent Soul seed and a Golden Core cultivator of the Heavenly Fiend Sect, the Yue Kingdom would never let him off easily.
However, he was able to stand out in the Heavenly Fiend Sect and achieve today’s accomplishments, how could he be an ordinary person!
In the past two years of lurking in the Yue Kingdom, he has not only assassinated several seeds from the five major immortal sects, but also successfully instigated rebellion, destroyed multiple forces, and obtained a lot of information and intelligence.
Once he kills this Lu Qingshan, in another half a year, he can return to Liang Kingdom to report.
At that time, neither the Heavenly Fiend Sect nor the Beast God Mountain will have any reason to suppress him.
He can also use the merits of this mission to compete for the core power of the sect!
“As long as I obtain the core power of the sect and control the Heavenly Fiend Sect, I can use this to plot a Nascent Soul opportunity! Blood Fiend, you just wait!”
Tu Yuan’s face was cold.
What doesn’t kill him will only make him stronger!
So what if it’s a lurking mission!?
So what if it’s a near-death experience!?
He, Tu Yuan, was able to go from an orphan to where he is today, what storms haven’t he seen.
During the Qi Refining stage, he entered the Blood Fiend Secret Realm to compete for resources, successfully surviving and condensing a perfect Dao foundation!
During the Foundation Establishment stage, he single-handedly killed thirteen Tier 2 demons, and finally, in the Heavenly Fiend Cave, he broke through and established himself after a near-death experience, condensing a high-grade Golden Core.
During the Core Formation stage, he was chased by a late-stage Core Formation cultivator for millions of miles in the endless desert, and finally survived with perseverance, obtained an opportunity, and broke through to the late stage of Core Formation.
Now, during the Liang-Yue war, he has also made many contributions.
If it weren’t for the accident with the Heavenly Fiend True Lord, with his qualifications and strength, it would have been impossible for him to be assigned such a dangerous mission!
“Although this Lu Changsheng only recently broke through to Core Formation, he is a Tier 3 high-grade talisman master.”
Tu Yuan was able to get to where he is today, not as an arrogant and ignorant person, but with courage and strategy.
He knows to use all his strength even when hunting a rabbit, and he is cautious in his actions.
Before coming, he not only sorted out the intelligence of the Yue Kingdom, but also collected relevant intelligence of the Jiang and Wu Kingdoms.
“If I want to kill this person and prevent Lu Qingshan from activating the communication jade slip, I must act quickly.”
There is a sect in the Yue Kingdom called the Beast Talisman Sect.
He had killed a Core Formation True Person from the Beast Talisman Sect before.
He knows that once this kind of talisman cultivator uses talisman techniques, they are very difficult to deal with.
His eyes were deep and indifferent, he pondered for a moment, then put away the Spiritual Eye Spring in front of him, and his whole person disappeared quietly.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows.
Each time they carry out a mission, they have to change a secret lurking point.
Lu Changsheng drove the spirit boat, taking his wife and children all the way east, towards the front line.
The Golden Sun Sect is located in the northwestern part of the Yue Kingdom, while the front line battlefield is in the southeast.
When he came, he rode the Golden-Winged Roc, concealing his figure through supernatural powers, so he naturally did not encounter any patrolling cultivators.
But now, riding the spirit boat, not only on the way, but every time they stop at a market, there are sect patrol cultivators who come forward to question them.
However, Lu Qingshan is a well-known true disciple of the Golden Sun Sect, and Lu Changsheng is a Core Formation True Person, so the patrol cultivators they encounter are naturally polite and dare not make things difficult for them.
“Is this what wartime is like?”
When the group arrived at a market town to rest, Lu Qingqi could feel a tense atmosphere shrouded in dark clouds, completely different from the Jiang Kingdom.
Even during the wasteland reclamation war, when rogue cultivators and demonic cultivators wreaked havoc in the Jiang Kingdom, it was not like this.
“Xiao Qi, you must never come to this kind of war-torn country in the future. It’s only because I and your father are here that these patrol cultivators are so polite.”
“If you encounter some cultivators with unknown identities, no background, or ordinary strength, you will inevitably be made difficult, or even labeled as spies of the enemy country, killing the innocent for merit, or sent to the front line as cannon fodder.”
“And during this period, the immortal sects’ crackdown on rogue cultivators has weakened, and there are more and more rogue cultivators ambushing in various places.”
Lu Qingshan instructed his younger sister.
Although Lu Qingqi is usually a bit arrogant, she admires and respects her genius brother Lu Qingshan, and obediently responded.
“Brother, when will this war end?”
She asked aloud.
“It’s hard to say, this war has only just begun. According to speculation, the Liang Kingdom must at least conquer the Violet Light Sect before it can stop the war.”
Lu Qingshan said with a solemn expression: “But I heard that the situation seems to have eased now. Should it be that the Jiang Kingdom has come to support? I have been in seclusion these years, so I don’t know very well.”
“Yes, True Lord Mystic Sword should have supported the Yue Kingdom, and the Heavenly Fiend True Lord of the Liang Kingdom was killed in the previous wasteland reclamation war.”
Lu Changsheng said softly.
“Heavenly Fiend True Lord was killed?”
Lu Qingshan looked surprised.
Heavenly Fiend True Lord is the Nascent Soul ancestor of the Heavenly Fiend Sect in the Liang Kingdom. If this person is killed, then the strength of the Liang Kingdom will be greatly weakened.
Lu Changsheng nodded, but didn’t say much.
“If the Heavenly Fiend True Lord is killed, and the Jiang Kingdom provides support, this war may end early.”
“However, this battle mainly depends on the Beast God Mountain. The Beast God Mountain not only has a second Nascent Soul True Lord breaking through, but also cultivated several Tier 4 Beast Kings. Under this circumstance, they will definitely not stop the war easily.”
“I heard from my master that these Beast Kings are cultivated by secret methods, and their lifespans are not long. They are used for siege warfare. Once the war stops, the resources plundered by the Beast God Mountain will not be enough to cultivate these Tier 4 Beast Kings.”
Lu Qingshan said in a deep voice.
Although he has never seen the Tier 4 Beast Kings cultivated by the Beast God Mountain, he has heard his master say that they are very terrifying.
Core Formation True Persons are not a match for these Beast Kings at all.
“Heavenly Fiend True Lord, Tier 4 Beast King…”
Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaohuan and others on the side smacked their tongues.
Core Formation is already extremely distant to them.
But this war has already involved the Nascent Soul level above Core Formation.
“Father, is the Heavenly Fiend True Lord the Nascent Soul True Lord of the Heavenly Fiend Sect in the Liang Kingdom? How could a cultivator of this level be killed?”
Lu Qingqi asked like an ignorant little white.
If she hadn’t seen Lu Quan truly take action before, she would have thought that Foundation Establishment cultivators rarely fought to the death, let alone the legendary Nascent Soul True Lords.
“There are also differences between Nascent Souls. During the previous wasteland reclamation war, the Heavenly Fiend True Lord, the Five Poison Sect Master, and the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master all attacked together, but True Lord Mystic Sword suppressed the Heavenly Fiend True Lord with one sword, and then laid down a sword formation, killing his physical body. Even the Nascent Soul spirit body couldn’t escape into the void.”
This kind of thing is a secret, only known to the high-level Core Formation cultivators of the Jiang Kingdom.
But when his children asked, Lu Changsheng didn’t hide anything.
“True Lord Mystic Sword!”
Lu Qingshan raised his sword eyebrows upon hearing this name, and two sharp rays of light shot out from his eyes. He asked, “Father, did you see this True Lord Mystic Sword take action? What is his strength like?”
“I remember that this True Lord Mystic Sword defeated the Five Poison Sect Master and the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master by himself in the early years. He should be even more powerful now.”
Lu Miaoge on the side also said with a watery temperament.
As a Jiang Kingdom cultivator, she has a strong filter for legendary cultivators like True Lord Mystic Sword and True Lord Azure Phoenix, whose names she has heard since childhood.
“Very strong, the sword intent is invincible, truly breaking all laws with one sword.”
Lu Changsheng said seriously.
He holds the Great Luo Sword Embryo and is confident to contend with the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master and the Five Poison Sect Master.
But when facing that True Lord Mystic Sword, he has no confidence at all.
“I hope to be able to learn swordsmanship from this True Lord Mystic Sword in the future.”
Lu Qingshan’s eyes were bright, like a blazing sun and stars.
Although he is not the kind of sword fanatic who madly looks for people to spar with, he has long admired True Lord Mystic Sword, the number one sword cultivator in the Jiang Kingdom, and even the Yue and Liang Kingdoms.
“It would have been great if Qingshan, you had joined the Heavenly Sword Sect back then.”
Lu Miaohuan on the side said with some regret.
She knows that her son has an extraordinary talent for swordsmanship. If he had joined the Heavenly Sword Sect, it would not only be convenient to go home, but it would also be less dangerous now.
“Mother, I’m doing pretty well in the Golden Sun Sect too.”
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
He is now a key seed cultivated by the Golden Sun Sect. Once he breaks through to Core Formation, he will be a Nascent Soul seed of the Golden Sun Sect.
Moreover, True Lord Mixed Origin is very optimistic about him. As long as he performs well in the subsequent war and surpasses other Yue Kingdom geniuses, he is expected to reach Nascent Soul with the Nascent Soul resources released by the Mixed Origin Sect and the Violet Light Sect.
It’s just that he has a headache when he thinks of True Lord Mixed Origin’s hints to him.
Lu Miaohuan saw her sister Lu Miaoge slightly pursing her red lips, realizing that she had said something wrong.
Her sister has always felt guilty and blamed herself for Qingshan and Qingzhu joining the Golden Sun Sect all these years, so she immediately asked: “Qingshan, how is Xiao Zhuer? The war is so dangerous now. When you break through to Core Formation, can you let Xiao Zhuer come home, or just stay in the sect?”
“Xiao Zhuer is fine, mainly because she doesn’t want to. I’ll have your father, mother, and aunt persuade her later.”
Lu Qingshan said helplessly.
In fact, with his merits, it is enough for the sect elders to act selfishly and arrange for his younger sister Lu Qingzhu to be in the rear of the sect.
But his younger sister is worried that he will be radical and adventurous on the front line, and she doesn’t want to be in the sect.
This trip back to the rear is also for him to be able to return to the sect with peace of mind to seclude himself and form his core.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan couldn’t help but have a headache.
Although his younger sister has a quiet and gentle personality, she is very strong in her heart and doesn’t want to rely on him for everything.
The family rested in the market town for a few days before continuing on their way.
On the way, they also saw a market town that had been destroyed and turned into ruins.
Even though the Liang-Yue war has slowed down on the surface.
But these situations show that the Yue Kingdom’s situation is very bad and in a clear disadvantage.
The hinterland has been infiltrated by the Liang Kingdom, and there have been rogue cultivators and demonic cultivators sabotaging and instigating rebellion in secret.
A month later, Lu Changsheng looked towards the front line.
Having become accustomed to traveling by Golden-Winged Roc, traveling by spirit boat like this is a bit of a torment for him.
He plans to build a good Tier 3 spirit boat if he has time when he goes home.
Not to say the speed is comparable to the Golden-Winged Roc, but at least it’s more comfortable and faster.
“We should arrive at the front lines in about seven days,” Lu Qingshan said, gazing in the direction of the front lines, feeling a bit homesick for his sister.
Although nothing should happen to her in the rear, seeing the situation in the Jiang Kingdom along the way still made him somewhat worried.
If anything happened to his sister, he would not only be unable to forgive himself but also wouldn’t be able to face his father and stepmother.
“Hmm!?”
Just then, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt something.
After breaking through the late stage of Core Formation, his divine soul advanced to the Nascent Soul level.
Compared to the Core Formation divine soul, the Nascent Soul divine soul not only has an increased range of divine sense but is also more sensitive to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the aura of magic power, and so on.
Even the fluctuations of magic power dozens of miles away, he could sense a thing or two.
At this moment, he felt a faint aura of demonic energy.
And he determined that it was demonic energy at the Core Formation level.
“Here, between the rear of the Yue Kingdom and the front lines, there’s a Core Formation demonic cultivator?”
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, feeling it was a bit outrageous.
Immediately, the Taiyi Divine Soul fully opened, wanting to see what was going on and avoid it as much as possible.
After all, he was only here to visit his children and didn’t want to cause trouble.
The newest novels are at 69shu.com!
However, after the divine soul opened, Lu Changsheng frowned again.
What’s going on?
Why is this demonic aura flying towards his direction?
He immediately steered the spirit boat in another direction, intending to take a detour to avoid this demonic cultivator.
“Changsheng, what’s wrong?” Lu Miaoge asked with concern, immediately realizing something was up.
“It’s nothing, I sensed some demonic energy, so I thought I’d try to avoid it,” Lu Changsheng said with a slight shake of his head.
“Demonic energy!?” Lu Miaohuan and the three siblings who were chatting were immediately shocked and looked around, even opening their divine senses.
But no matter how they looked, there was no sign of demonic energy.
“Dad, what level of demonic energy is it?” Lu Qingshan immediately asked.
“Core Formation,” Lu Changsheng said.
“Core Formation demonic cultivator!? How is that possible? Even if a demonic cultivator sneaks into the rear, they wouldn’t dare to use their magic power openly, would they?” Lu Qingshan’s expression slightly hardened, feeling something was wrong.
Under normal circumstances, it would be one thing.
But during this time of war, if a Core Formation demonic cultivator sneaked into the rear of the Yue Kingdom, once discovered, the five great immortal sects of the Yue Kingdom would fully encircle and suppress them, and even Nascent Soul True Monarchs might take action.
“Wait, could this person be coming for us?” Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, watching a jade talisman appear in his son Lu Qingshan’s hand.
“Qingshan, send the message later, this aura seems to be coming for us?” Lu Changsheng said to Lu Qingshan.
“Coming for us?” Lu Qingshan’s expression suddenly changed, and he quickly said, “Dad, this is bad, this person is likely coming for me!”
“My master said before that I’m already on the Liang Kingdom’s kill list, and once I go out on a mission, I’ll likely be attacked by a Liang Kingdom Core Formation cultivator.”
“If this person is coming towards us, it’s likely that there’s a traitor in the sect, or there was a demonic spy along the way who recognized me!” Lu Qingshan’s face was a bit unsightly.
He knew that he was on the Liang Kingdom’s kill list.
But he never expected that he would be attacked by a Core Formation cultivator while still within the territory of the Yue Kingdom.
“Kill list!?” The expressions of Lu Miaohuan and Lu Qingqi changed in shock.
These days, they had been listening to Lu Qingshan talk about the situation in the Yue Kingdom, the secret realm missions, the honorary awards, and so on, and they really thought that their son and brother were having a very easy time in the Jinyang Sect.
They thought to themselves that no wonder so many people joined the immortal sects, the treatment was really good.
They never expected that Lu Qingshan would actually be placed on the Liang Kingdom’s kill list, and once he went out, he would be attacked by a Core Formation True Person.
This, this, this…
Lu Qingxuan circulated his divination technique, the art of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, wanting to deduce the good and bad omens.
But he didn’t sense any good or bad omens.
“Dad, are you confident? If not, I still have a teleportation talisman, let’s separate immediately,” Lu Qingshan said very calmly.
“Since that’s the case, let’s wait for him to come, if he can lock onto your position, your teleportation talisman won’t be of any use, and let’s also see if this person is coming for you,” Lu Changsheng said softly.
Although the teleportation talisman was practical, if the other party had some means to lock onto his position, then it would only delay things for a while.
“Dad, Mom and Qingxuan, Xiaoqi, why don’t they leave first, or enter your cave treasure, otherwise…” Although Lu Qingshan guessed that his father wasn’t as simple as just breaking through to Core Formation.
But the Core Formation demonic cultivator who dared to sneak into the Yue Kingdom was by no means ordinary.
His mother and Lu Qingxuan and Lu Qingqi would only become a burden here.
“It wouldn’t hurt to watch,” Lu Changsheng said softly, seeing the worried expressions on his wife and the others’ faces, feeling that he could show his wife his strength.
As he spoke, he reached out and pressed on Lu Qingxuan’s shoulder, saying, “Try to use the divination technique less often.”
“When you reach the Core Formation level, most people have treasures to block and isolate the secrets of heaven, you won’t be able to calculate anything, you’ll only waste your mind and lifespan.”
Ever since he saw this son shortening his lifespan every now and then, Lu Changsheng no longer approved of him delving into the divination technique.
The cost of this thing was really too high.
If True Monarch Qingluan wasn’t willing to take him as a disciple, then he would prepare to completely cut off his son’s path.
“Yes, Father,” Lu Qingxuan said.
Just now, he had only done a simple calculation, and Lu Qingxuan’s face had already turned slightly pale.
Trying to fathom the secrets of heaven was very exhausting to the mind and energy.
Especially the secrets of heaven of the older brother in front of him, he felt that they were ethereal and traceless, and he couldn’t capture them at all.
And so, the family continued to move forward on the spirit boat.
But the atmosphere on the spirit boat became much heavier.
Only Lu Miaoge knew Lu Changsheng’s strength and had confidence in her husband.
Before long, Lu Changsheng sensed that this faint demonic aura was approaching.
The other party probably didn’t want to make too much noise and was preparing to end the battle quickly with a sure-kill strike, so he was very cautious, slowing down his speed and hiding his aura in the void.
If he didn’t have the Nascent Soul divine soul, even a peak Core Formation cultivator might not be able to detect it.
To this, Lu Changsheng directly took action, striking first to gain the advantage.
“Yin-Yang One Qi Grand Capturing Hand!”
An incomparably mysterious yin-yang energy rushed out from the top of Lu Changsheng’s head, straight into the clouds, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a distinct yin-yang hand.
The five fingers of the palm were slightly bent, like towering ancient divine mountains, imprisoning the surrounding world, wanting to capture and suppress the figure hidden in the void.
Tu Yuan, hidden in the void, instantly felt that the world and void around him were imprisoned, and a vast force fell on him, squeezing him madly.
“Not good! It’s a trap!!!!!” His heart’s alarm bells rang wildly, and an ominous premonition涌out.
Someone was deliberately using Lu Qingshan to lure him out!
But how did the other party know that he would take action?
But at this moment, he had no time to think, and his palm directly slapped on his qi sea dantian, using the Blood Burning Secret Technique, and the aura of magic power climbed steadily, wanting to raise himself from the seventh level of Core Formation to the ninth level of Core Formation.
At the same time, a large banner filled with rolling black baleful energy appeared in his hand, forming streams of dragon-like baleful energy of different colors, wrapping around him, struggling to break free from the Yin-Yang One Qi Grand Capturing Hand, wanting to break through the air and leave.
“Hmm!? Late stage of Core Formation!? Or a Golden Core cultivator!?” Tu Yuan’s black cloak had the effect of concealing the aura of magic power, and he also used some means to hide in the void, even Lu Changsheng hadn’t seen his true cultivation level just now.
Now seeing his strength and cultivation level, wanting to escape, he immediately went all out.
“Buzz!” The Yin-Yang Diagram was struck into the Yin-Yang One Qi Grand Capturing Hand, and a simple and crude sword fetus appeared in his hand.
The rule patterns on the sword fetus instantly revived, bursting out with a bright and peerless light, like the blazing sun, shining on the world, its sharpness exposed, unmatched.
The sword qi stretched for 30,000 miles, and the light of a sword chilled 19 provinces!
The sword light was like a long rainbow of the great sun, a Milky Way pouring down, piercing through the heavens and the earth, bursting towards the black-robed man!
“Who are you, Yun Jianfeng, Bai Jingxian, Zhao Jiuyang!?” Tu Yuan’s expression changed drastically in horror, not remembering that the Yue Kingdom had such a peerless sword immortal, suspecting that this person was one of the top sword cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
But when was the Jiang Kingdom willing to help the Yue Kingdom like this!
Moreover, this person’s divine powers and magic treasures were clearly not like those of a sword cultivator from the Heavenly Sword Sect!
“Nine Fiends Burning the Heavens!” He poured out his magic power frantically, urging his natal magic treasure, and the nine flavors of fierce baleful energy were like flood dragons, ghosts crying and wolves howling, forming a Yama Hell.
It had to be said that his strength was extraordinary.
Looking at the Core Formation realm, he was definitely among the best.
Especially now that he had used the Blood Burning Secret Technique, unless a Nascent Soul True Monarch took action, it would be difficult for even a peak Core Formation cultivator to end the battle quickly.
But unfortunately, he met Lu Changsheng.
Especially Lu Changsheng who used the Great Luo Sword Fetus!
“Boom boom boom –” The peerless and fierce sword light shattered the vast world, like rolling tides, breaking through his natal magic treasure’s nine baleful energies with irresistible force.
“Pfft!” Tu Yuan spat out blood, and the sword light continued to break through his black robe cloak, protective magic shield, tearing his body apart, almost cutting him off, revealing his white bones.
He wanted to struggle to escape, but the Yin-Yang Diagram and the Yin-Yang One Qi Grand Capturing Hand suppressed his body, and even his magic power was somewhat sluggish.
“As expected, it’s a high-grade Golden Core, it really is a case of wearing out iron shoes in search of nowhere, and finding it without any effort!” After the Great Luo Sword Fetus broke through Tu Yuan’s body, Lu Changsheng immediately saw the Dao-rhyming Golden Core on the other party’s Dao foundation, and his expression was delighted.
He was still thinking that after he was done, when he went to the Jin Kingdom, he would find the Yin-Underworld Ghost Sect to get a demonic Golden Core to cultivate the “Brahma Demon True Saint Art”.
He never expected that someone would directly deliver it to his door today.
Lu Changsheng’s qi and blood magic power poured into the Great Luo Sword Fetus continuously, annihilating the other party’s vitality, but not harming the Golden Core.
“Pfft!” After a few breaths, Tu Yuan’s blood stained half of his body red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood to the sky, and then his head and body were separated, and he died, with an expression full of unwillingness to close his eyes.
A Core Formation 7th level, Golden Core cultivator who had almost been promoted to Core Formation 9th level through secret techniques, was killed by Lu Changsheng in this way.
