Chapter 156 Past Events
As Lu Qingyun burned Bai Yuechan's body to ashes with spiritual fire and watched her return to the cycle of reincarnation, a sudden sense of relief washed over him.
In the darkness, he felt his magical power flowing smoothly, and his understanding of the third divine ability, [Wooden Puppet], deepened even further.
As this change occurred, Lu Qingyun's magical power also became much purer.
He understood that this joy stemmed from the dissipation of cause and effect in this world.
"With the Bai family's affairs settled, the only thing that matters to me in this land between the two countries is the opportunity in this secret realm."
Lu Qingyun looked in the direction where Mu Shan and Niu Gao had fought when they came.
"With my current strength, I am naturally not enough to contend with Niu Gao and Mu Shan at their peak. However, the two of them have been fighting for a long time. At this critical moment of life and death, I can wait for them to fight each other and both be injured. I may not be without a chance of winning."
"and..."
Lu Qingyun paused.
"Even if I die, it doesn't matter. I wanted to live out the last days of my life in this world in my own way. Being able to fight against such a strong person, even if I lose, I will have no regrets."
Lu Qingyun's gaze was detached from worldly affairs. Having determined that this world would end here, he had already put everything behind him.
He shook his head, temporarily putting his thoughts aside.
Lu Qingyun examined Bai Tianxiong's belongings, while simultaneously preparing for the upcoming battle.
After opening Bai Tianxiong's storage bag, Lu Qingyun shook his head regretfully.
Although the old thief was absolutely certain of his breakthrough, he put all his life's savings into his storage bag to prepare for his breakthrough.
However, after so many years on the run...
Bai Tianxiong was no longer the old patriarch of the Bai family who had accumulated power for generations, but a stray dog who had exhausted most of his resources.
Bai Tianxiong's strongest magical artifact, the bone club shuttle forged from Zheng Zhizhuo's leg bone, was completely useless to Lu Qingyun, who already possessed the shuttle.
Among them, the only things that could be used were the two original cultivation techniques of the Bai and Zheng families: the "Mysterious Frost Devouring Flame Technique" and the "Crimson Fiend Melting Lotus Scripture".
The former is the true secret technique of the Bai family, which only Bai Tianxiong has practiced for generations, while the latter is the secret technique of the Zheng family, and it is also the true original, the original without any traps.
Upon seeing these two cultivation manuals, Lu Qingyun gained some insight, but his regret only intensified.
"The intentions behind these two cultivation techniques are extremely high, enough to cultivate to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and their combat power is also considerable. It's just a pity that my spiritual root is mainly wood with metal as a secondary element. These two cultivation techniques are water and fire, which are complementary to each other. Therefore, I am completely unable to cultivate them."
At the same time, after reading these two cultivation manuals and combining them with what Bai Yuechan had told him, Lu Qingyun finally understood the secrets of the Bai and Zhen families.
It turns out that hundreds of years ago, the first ancestor of the Bai family, who is now Bai Tianxiong, discovered a secret realm together with the ancestor of the Zheng family.
There are two volumes of cultivation techniques, one for Yin and one for Yang. The two people each chose one volume based on their own spiritual roots. The Bai family chose the water-attribute technique "Mysterious Frost Devouring Flame Technique", while the Zheng family chose the fire-attribute technique "Crimson Fiend Melting Lotus Scripture".
However, after the two carefully practiced the technique, they discovered that the two books were actually complementary, with each having only one supernatural power at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage.
It should be known that a normal cultivation method has three supernatural powers, which made the two of them feel uneasy.
What made them even more disheartened was that, in order to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, they had to strip each other of their cultivation and use each other as resources.
Naturally, the two families, who were originally on good terms, broke off relations. However, since their cultivation levels were neither high nor low, they were completely helpless against each other.
Even as they grew old, they each sought ways to continue their own or their family's lineage based on their own cultivation methods.
The "Mysterious Frost Devouring Flame Technique" cultivated by the first ancestor of the Bai family allows him to spread his sub-cultivation techniques to his blood relatives, at the cost of sacrificing a certain amount of his soul essence, thereby seizing and extending his lifespan.
Although the Zheng family's "Crimson Lotus Melting Sutra" cannot prolong life, the original cultivator can absorb the cultivation of other cultivators' blood relatives to grow rapidly. At the same time, at the time of death, the original cultivator can pass on 70% of their own cultivation to their descendants.
The Bai family's progenitor eked out a living for countless years, waiting for the Zheng family to decline, and for the opportunity to abandon the Zheng family and cooperate with the black-robed deacon to destroy the Zheng family.
Once Zheng Zhizhuo is used as a resource to refine, and Bai Yuechan, who has the best aptitude in the Bai family in the past hundred years, is taken over by the body she has already prepared, she will be able to live a new life and reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Unfortunately, he still met me, and in the end, it was all just a pipe dream."
Lu Qingyun shook his head.
The patriarch of the Bai family was undoubtedly a formidable figure.
In order to establish his foundation and attain enlightenment, he possessed the bodies of several generations of the Bai family patriarchs. After his grandsons and great-grandsons gave birth to children, he used them as resources to prolong their lives.
They had endured for countless years, and taking advantage of the war between the righteous and the demonic forces, which left the Yunxia Sect with no time to investigate Pingyang, they formed alliances and found the black-robed steward, an outsider, to fight against Zheng Zhizhuo.
Even though the black-robed deacon died at Mu Shan's hands, he almost managed to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage using the Azure Wood Secret Realm.
Unfortunately, luck was not on his side.
"Fortunately, I don't need to worry about such things. Even if I die in this life, I will still have a hundred lifetimes to try. One day, I will reach the end of the path to immortality and will no longer need to try such a pathetic cultivation method."
Lu Qingyun raised his hand, burning Bai Tianxiong's corpse to ashes, and then scattered them in the secret realm with a gust of wind.
Then, he quickly concealed himself and returned to the battlefield between Niu Gao and Mu Shan.
……
And right at this very moment.
boom!
The smoke and dust cleared.
As Mu Shan's powerful sword intent swept through, Niu Gao, Qian Shu, Luan Mo, and Huang Lou all coughed up blood and flew backward.
Even amidst the four's all-out attack, a powerful figure like Mu Shan now had a wound on his cheek.
The Heavenly Slaughter Sword pondered for a moment.
Mu Shan touched the wound on his face and chuckled softly, "Lord Niu, I didn't expect that not only you underestimated me, but I also underestimated you!"
"Even many of the True Immortals among the clouds underestimated you!"
