Chapter 486: Chapter 462: Cold Marrow Obtained, True Form Captured!
"Three esteemed ones, please wait."
"I have no grudges with you from the past or recent times; let us stop here. Whatever you ask for, this old lady shall comply without refusal!"
Gui Mountain Old Mother had been managing Gui Mountain for a long time, and beneath Gui Mountain was the North Sea Sea Eye, a treasure land of cultivation, also harboring a massive, earth-shattering opportunity.
She truly did not want to flee just yet.
Thus, she hastily spoke out.
Lu Qingfeng, Zhu Yang, and Demon King Golden Eyes looked at each other after hearing her.
Ultimately, it was Zhu Yang who spoke first, "We are here just for the Cold Marrow."
No matter what,
securing the ’Cold Marrow’ first was the safest option.
"Cold Marrow."
After hearing this, Gui Mountain Old Mother’s heart relaxed, but her face showed a pained expression, "Although this old lady cultivates in the North Sea Sea Eye, the Cold Marrow within the Cold Spring of the Sea Eye is rare, it might not appear once in thousands or tens of thousands of years—"
"Are you giving it or not?!"
Demon King Golden Eyes, losing patience, suddenly swung his Bin Tie Stick, barking loudly at Gui Mountain Old Mother. It seemed that if no agreement was reached, he would not hesitate to act.
Seeing this, Gui Mountain Old Mother’s face grew even more troubled, she hastily said, "Though the Cold Marrow is rare, I do possess two drops. If I hand over the Cold Marrow, the three of you must promise to return the ’Yuan Gui Divine Sword’ and ’Dark Yin Mirror of the Jellyfish,’ and you must not harm my life."
Speaking of which,
Gui Mountain Old Mother looked towards Lu Qingfeng.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yang and Demon King Golden Eyes also turned their gazes towards Lu Qingfeng.
The ’Yuan Gui Divine Sword’ and ’Dark Yin Mirror of the Jellyfish’ are both supreme treasures in the world, having them handed over by Lu Qingfeng would indeed be difficult.
However, unexpectedly—
"This mirror should be returned to its rightful owner."
Lu Qingfeng, holding the Yuan Gui Divine Sword, tossed the Dark Yin Mirror of the Jellyfish forward.
He actually returned the ’Dark Yin Mirror of the Jellyfish’.
Gui Mountain Old Mother hurriedly caught it; though regaining a treasure brought much joy, when compared to the Yuan Gui Divine Sword, the Dark Yin Mirror of the Jellyfish, though a treasure of the human realm, was somewhat inferior. Gui Mountain Old Mother took the mirror, her gaze unavoidably shifted to the Yuan Gui Divine Sword in Lu Qingfeng’s hand.
"Do not dream of the Yuan Gui Divine Sword, quickly hand over the Cold Marrow and we will immediately retreat!"
Lu Qingfeng placed the Yuan Gui Divine Sword behind his back, his expression showing slight impatience.
Seeing this, Gui Mountain Old Mother knew the exceedingly mighty Yuan Gui Divine Sword, now in his hands, would probably not be returned, no matter the price of the Cold Marrow. Although her heart ached immensely, she dared not press too hard for fear of ruining bigger plans.
"Fellow Daoist—"
Gui Mountain Old Mother forced a bitter smile, stretching out her hand and flicked out two drops of transparent liquid emitting waves of cold light.
Zhu Yang’s eyes brightened.
But he did not make a move.
"Cold Marrow!"
Lu Qingfeng took out a Jade Bottle and drew with his hand. One drop of Cold Marrow immediately fell into the bottle. Upon closer inspection, it was extremely icy, truly the elusive ’Cold Marrow’.
Demon King Golden Eyes did likewise, collecting the other drop of Cold Marrow.
"It’s done!"
Seeing the Cold Marrow secured, Zhu Yang felt as if a great weight had lifted from his mind, his sickliness even dissipating quite a bit. He was inclined to retreat immediately, to refine ’Rejuvenation Water’, and directly communicated through voice transmission to Lu Qingfeng and Demon King Golden Eyes, "Gui Mountain Old Mother is not without her tricks, having cultivated in Gui Mountain for four thousand years. No one knows what else she might have hidden in the Deep Gorge. It’s better to return, prepare thoroughly, and come later to eliminate her."
Upon hearing this, Demon King Golden Eyes quite agreed.
Though much of Gui Mountain Old Mother’s fame came from the Yuan Gui Divine Sword, her long years of cultivation and her own strength were not to be underestimated.
Not only Zhu Yang.
Even Demon King Golden Eyes did not want to overly press her, which might cause unnecessary complications.
Lu Qingfeng looked at Gui Mountain Old Mother, indeed having the intention to eliminate potential trouble. However, seeing both Zhu Yang and Demon King Golden Eyes favoring retreat, he did not press further, "This is also good."
With his current strength, overcoming Gui Mountain Old Mother would not be difficult. But she was skilled in Water Escape, and within this realm, no one could block her if she chose to flee. Rather than beating the snake without killing it, it was better to leave her in Gui Mountain and wait until his cultivation greatly advances to ensure a full assurance of her elimination!
Immediately,
The three withdrew from Gui Mountain.
Leaving Gui Mountain,
They sped toward the North Sea.
Above Nine Heavens, Lu Qingfeng stood in the Golden Carriage, addressing Zhu Yang who was passing by among the clouds, "No time to delay. How about Fellow Daoists head to my Jin Mountain early to refine this ’Rejuvenation Water’?"
Zhu Yang and Demon King Golden Eyes looked at each other and nodded in agreement, "Good."
Demon King Golden Eyes was always impatient.
With the Cold Marrow in hand, he was eager to witness ’Rejuvenation Water’. Zhu Yang, although more composed, only had three hundred years left to live, making him the most anxious of the three.
Eager to refine it.
Thus,
The three quickly flew towards the East Sea Jin Mountain.
...
Within Gui Mountain.
"Huff, huff!"
"These three killers, they finally left!"
Gui Mountain Old Mother was relieved to see the trio depart. Holding the ’Dark Yin Mirror of the Jellyfish’ in hand, she could not help but think of the ’Yuan Gui Divine Sword’ and the ’Cold Marrow’, causing her face to contort in a grimace, "Zhu Yang, Golden Eyes, Dutian! Once this old lady masters the Great Method and acquires the treasures, I will definitely exact revenge for today’s enmity!"
Her heart brimming with murderous intent, her hatred soaring to the skies.
Gui Mountain Old Mother glanced outside the Deep Gorge, gritting her teeth, then turned back into the depths of the Deep Gorge Water Palace.
...
East Sea Jin Mountain.
As Lu Qingfeng and his companions rushed back, a white-robed swordsman arrived outside Jin Mountain.
"This Jin Mountain—"
Xun Tiange halted the tunneling light, looking towards the islands ahead, slightly furrowing his brows.
After Lu Qingfeng used the "Two Realms Ten Directions Vajra Great Treasury Mantra" to transform the mountains and arrange Jinshan, its appearance drastically changed. Amidst it, waves of mist emerged, spreading in all directions, hiding Jinshan in the East Sea, completely invisible to ordinary cultivators.
Xun Tiange, with his profound cultivation, could see through the fog and spot the Jinshan islands. But upon closer inspection, he felt countless dangers lurking, as if a Vajra was glaring angrily, deterring all minor demons and devils.
Even a powerful figure like Xun Tiange dared not rashly step into it.
"What a cunning Dutian Demon Path!"
Xun Tiange was shocked in his heart and grew even warier of Lu Qingfeng.
Stopping outside Jinshan, Xun Tiange did not hide his traces and swaggered over, shouting towards the mountains, "Xun Tiange of Green Wood Valley is here to see you, with important matters to discuss with Fellow Daoist Dutian."
His voice was loud and clear, echoed into the mountains.
Instantly, the mist in the mountains parted to create a path, and the clone of Green Wood King Ding emerged.
"Xun Tiange."
Lu Qingfeng looked at Xun Tiange, seeing that he appeared calm, but knowing in his heart that he definitely harbored ill intentions, he yet smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Tian Ge, did your Northern Suppression Ancestor manage to prepare a hundred Immortal Crystals to deliver personally?"
"To inform Fellow Daoist Dutian, the amount of a hundred Immortal Crystals is vast, and the Ancestor couldn’t gather them all at once. That’s why he specifically sent Tian Ge to Jinshan to request Fellow Daoist Dutian to grant a two-year extension." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"Five years later."
"A hundred Immortal Crystals will be submitted."
Xun Tiange communicated in secret, clearly not wanting such coerced conditions to be known publicly.
Listening to this, Lu Qingfeng saw that Xun Tiange did not wish to make a spectacle and nodded immediately, "Five years it is then. But if the Immortal Crystals cannot be produced after five years, do not blame me for not warning beforehand!"
"Of course."
"Tian Ge takes his leave."
Having received a word from Lu Qingfeng, Xun Tiange did not linger any longer and turned to leave.
Lu Qingfeng watched Xun Tiange leave, shook his head with a smile, and returned to Jinshan.
...
Ten days later.
In Green Wood Valley.
Inside Star Hall.
Miao Yi Dao Po, Su Muzhe, Xi Yunzi, Kuang Tianqi, and Xun Bai—five people were each seated in meditation. Only Yue Zhong, who had suffered from Poison Fire Blood Flame to his heart more than ten years ago, despite taking Cold Cloud Pill, was still severely injured and currently in seclusion.
Twelve years ago, after Lu Qingfeng raided Green Wood Valley and defeated the Primordial Spirit cultivators outside Jinshan, even Huo Shanzi and Feng Hanzi were not only suppressed in Jinshan but also enslaved by Dutian Demon Path.
Green Wood Valley had lost both face and footing, with Miao Yi Dao Po and others harboring a deep resentment, wishing nothing more than to shatter Lu Qingfeng into pieces and extinguish his soul!
Silence filled the hall, with none speaking.
After a while.
Xun Tiange strode in from outside the hall.
Miao Yi Dao Po and the others abruptly stood up.
Kuang Tianqi was the first to greet him, anxiously asking, "Was it successful?"
The other four also stood up and moved forward, all looking at Xun Tiange.
Yet, they saw Xun Tiange raise a hand and cast a page of golden books, which fluctuated up and down in the air. The golden page was filled with eerie symbols that made one’s heart palpitate at a glance. A halo of golden light diffused, hazily revealing a figure, somewhat resembling Lu Qingfeng.
"The Demon Path’s True Form is here."
"This life is over!"
Xun Tiange pointed to the sky with one hand, his voice deep.
"Excellent!"
Su Muzhe applauded warmly and repeatedly said, "The True Form has been captured by the Burning God Book. Hardly any Primordial Spirit Practitioner can escape it. If we all cast spells together, we can certainly burn the Demon Path’s Primordial Spirit to nothing, extinguishing his life for good!"
The Burning God Book!
This was a gift from the Northern Suppression Ancestor of the Upper Realm, who claimed that below True Immortals, any cultivator whose True Form was captured would inevitably die. Moreover, the method of casting was secretive, even from thousands of miles away, just capturing the True Form and performing rites for twenty-seven days and nights would activate the Burning God Book, incinerating the captured person’s Primordial Spirit and Divine Soul, eliminating their existence from the world.
It was truly an undetectable, venomous, and brutal method.
When Xun Tiange went to Jinshan to meet Lu Qingfeng, discussing Immortal Crystals was just a facade; secretly deploying the Burning God Book to capture Lu Qingfeng’s True Form was the real intent.
After accomplishing his goal, he hurried back.
He was just about to cast the spell.
"Hold on."
Miao Yi Dao Po raised her hand to stop them, and seeing everyone’s gaze upon her, she slightly frowned and said, "Once the Burning God Book is activated, regardless of where the Demon Path is, his Primordial Spirit will dissipate after twenty-seven days. However, he still possesses four Supreme Treasures from Green Wood Valley as well as the Empty Heart Divine Willow on his body. He holds the Five-Colored Divine Light and countless other treasures. If he dies elsewhere, though the calamity is removed, the treasures may be hard to recover."
Killing Lu Qingfeng.
One reason was to eliminate a disaster, to prevent the Cultivation World from extinction.
The other was to regain the Supreme Treasures and the Empty Heart Divine Willow, stabilizing their sect.
The former was important.
But the latter was equally crucial.
"This makes sense."
