Yellow Court Daoist
Chapter 369 - 348: Attack on Biya Mountain!
High above the expansive sky, a horse-drawn carriage soared through the air, harnessing the Gang Wind for Divine Speed.
"Yuu Mountain Daoist''s Magic Artifact is truly handy," praised Lu Qingfeng, seated in meditation within the carriage.
He had acquired four Seventh-Order Magical Artifacts from Yuu Mountain Daoist in reality, three of which were meant for fleeing and fast travel. Concerned about potential risks, he refrained from using them in reality but replicated them in Primordial, making travel much more convenient.
This carriage was a replication of the ''Nine Heavens Cloud Breaking Charge'', a treasure for escaping within the Nine Heavens Gang Wind, allowing for accelerated travel through the Gang Wind. If it were a Seventh-Order Nine Heavens Cloud Breaking Charge activated by a Golden Core Expert, even many Primordial Spirit True Ones would struggle to catch up.
However, the version Lu Qingfeng forged was merely a Fifth-Order replica, naturally lacking such miraculous effects.
Yet, for travel purposes, it was significantly faster than the normal methods of Cloud Peak Steps and Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation Void-Concentrated Swords, and it consumed less mana, allowing for prolonged use.
The Abyss was vast.
In just eight years, he had taken control of the remaining thirty-five layers of the Abyss, thanks primarily to the ''Nine Heavens Cloud Breaking Charge.''
Beside the carriage within the Gang Wind, S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
a Demon God with eight human faces, a tiger''s body, and ten tails manipulated the Nine Heavens Gang Wind to further speed up the carriage.
This was the newly condensed Heavenly Wu Demon God.
A wind-element Demon God, capable of controlling countless winds in the world, including the Nine Heavens Gang Wind.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Dashing through the Gang Wind.
The Nine Heavens Gang Wind was rampant, sporadically accompanied by the roars of Thunder Fire, and within the Gang Wind Layer even hosted Exotic Beasts that fed on Gang Wind and Thunder Fire. These creatures, fierce and aggressive, would attack any encounter.
Even ordinary Golden Core Experts dared not linger long in the Gang Wind Layer.
But Lu Qingfeng was fearless.
Firstly, due to the Divine Speed of the Nine Heavens Cloud Breaking Charge, most beasts couldn''t even react before Lu Qingfeng had already traveled thousands, if not tens of thousands of miles away, too fast for them to pursue.
Secondly, with Lu Qingfeng''s power, already an invincible presence within both the Material Realm and the Barbarian God Realm, even if he were directly blocked, it would only delay his journey briefly as the beasts essentially courted death.
Thus, he traversed the Gang Wind Layer as if walking on flat ground.
Soon.
The Nine Heavens Cloud Breaking Charge crossed the Abyss and entered the Funeral Bell Plain.
Instantly, it was as if he had traveled from twilight back into broad daylight, the oppressive feeling pervasive in the Abyss was nowhere in sight, the sky unimaginably high, replacing the feelings of confinement.
One felt the Divine Soul clear up, as if emerging from water, even the breathing felt much smoother.
"This is what the human world ought to be."
Lu Qingfeng relished the stark contrast between the two realms, his heart lightening with joy.
Looking forward.
Clouds stretched for miles under the high, blazing sun.
"Biya Mountain."
Lu Qingfeng calculated and continued to move northeast.
This time.
He was heading to the Taoyuan Immortal Sect at Biya Mountain.
"How many Reincarnated True Immortals the Age Monarch Tai Sui has sent down to the mortal realm, I do not know, but within Biya Mountain, six are already known."
Lu Qingfeng pondered as he traveled.
Since Luo Gu appeared in the Heavenly Punishment Abyss, Lu Qingfeng had controlled the thirty-six layers of the Abyss in eight years while also gathering information about Taoyuan Immortal Sect in the Funeral Bell Plain.
Knowing six.
"Luo Gu''s physical body shattered, not a concern."
"Wei Wuding and Feihua Daoist seem to have no Immortal Artifacts, and although they are also in the Golden Core Realm, they are easier to manage."
"But only—"
Lu Qingfeng paused, "Only the ''Three Suns Daoist'' of Taoyuan Three Immortals."
Three Suns Daoist.
Referred collectively to the Shaoyang Daoist, Zhongyang Daoist, and Sun Daoist. All three were notable figures in the Upper Realm, even Luo Gu had to address them as senior brothers, and they each wielded an Immortal Sword.
After their reincarnation, their fame wasn''t notable for the first three hundred years. However, over the past three hundred years, they had carved out a formidable reputation across the Funeral Bell Plain.
The Taoyuan Immortal Sect was initially established by these three.
Then followed by Luo Gu, Wei Wuding, and Feihua Daoist.
"Regrettably."
"I don''t know what relationships these three had in the Upper Realm, nor the strategies they possessed."
Lu Qingfeng shook his head.
In the Barbarian God Realm, the Immortal Dao had only spanned a few hundred years. Despite inquiries, he only knew that the Three Suns Daoists possessed overwhelming combat power, their Immortal Swords mastered the Fierce Sun, and on the Funeral Bell Plain, no one could contend against them.
But the exact nature of their abilities remained unclear.
"Three Suns Daoist."
"Three Immortal Swords."
Even the known information was enough to keep Lu Qingfeng on high alert.
The best scenario naturally would be for Lu Qingfeng to gather the Nine Layers of Gang Sha, achieving the Golden Core Realm, and then proceed to Biya Mountain.
But—
"Delays bring risks."
Whether the Three Suns Daoist with their Immortal Swords went to the Heavenly Realm, or more Reincarnated True Immortals gathered at Biya Mountain, both scenarios posed significant disadvantages for Lu Qingfeng.
In the former case,
he would lose three Immortal Artifacts.
In the latter,
Biya Mountain''s strength would be greater; even with an advancement in Lu Qingfeng''s cultivation, handling them might not be easier than now.
Thus, after securing the Heavenly Punishment Abyss, Lu Qingfeng immediately set off.
Naturally, the most critical concern was about potentially missing the chance to obtain the Immortal Artifacts dangling within his reach.
"Immortal Artifacts are hard to come by in the Lower Realm. Missing this opportunity, who knows how long it will take to acquire another."
This was not only for the sake of the game but also for reality. By analyzing and then refining them, in reality, being able to employ different Magical Artifacts with various unique uses against any opponent without being countered but always being able to counter, that was the surest way to victory.
Skills galore, not a burden to own.
Magic Artifacts aplenty, similarly not a detriment.
With Biya Mountain''s prowess and Three Suns Daoist''s methods in mind, he sped on without slowing.
Entering the Funeral Bell Plain, he did not stop.
Months passed on this journey.
One day,
amidst the Gang Wind, the Nine Heavens Cloud Breaking Charge suddenly halted. Lu Qingfeng stood atop, overlooking the vast land.
He saw in the distance, thousands of miles of continuous mountains.
Surrounding peaks rose and fell, lush forests vibrant green, the red stairs ascending a thousand steps, paths winding through secluded areas, trees verdant, all seasons evergreen. Peaks encircling, cliff faces towering – hence, it had been renamed by the Taoyuan Immortal Sect —
Biya Mountain.
"This is the place."
Lu Qingfeng ceased his calculations and looked downward, observing streaks of tunneling light between the peaks of Biya Mountain, with cultivators coming and going. Some cultivators were seated amongst the peaks, absorbing the Spiritual Energy of the mountains and rivers, honing their cultivation.
On the outskirts and amidst the mountains, there were individuals with large shoulders and a height of ten zhang, walking and carrying mountains on their shoulders.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The earth trembled resoundingly as they moved.
"Moving Mountain Warriors?"
Lu Qingfeng''s eyes gleamed with excitement. Worthy of the Upper Realm''s lineage, even such legendary Daoist Soldiers for setting up mountain gates had been accomplished in mere centuries.
Upon closer inspection, there were three hundred Moving Mountain Warriors within the ten thousand miles of Biya Mountain, shoulders bearing mountains, moving as if flying.
"Such warriors are truly useful."
Lu Qingfeng eyed them enviously.
If he had hundreds of Moving Mountain Warriors, he wouldn''t need to bother connecting various earth veins and energies. Commanding the warriors to shift the mountains would not only set up faster, but the aura of Zhenyuan Mountain would far surpass its current state.
He watched the Moving Mountain Warriors for a while longer.
A thought flashed through Lu Qingfeng''s mind, the Nine Heavens Cloud Breaking Charge was retracted, the Heavenly Wu Demon God infused into his body, and he dove downward.
Wrapped in thunder fire, he fiercely descended.
"Who goes there?!"
"Taoyuan Immortal Sect''s gate is sacred, who dares trespass?"
In Biya Mountain, countless cultivators sensed this and bellowed in anger. Such a presence descending directly towards Biya Mountain was extremely audacious, utterly disregarding the Taoyuan Immortal Sect.
The arrogance fostered by the ruling powers and temples of the Funeral Bell Plain enraged the cultivators of Biya Mountain even more upon seeing this scene.
"He sure has gathered quite a few disciples."
Lu Qingfeng, hearing the clamor below, smirked lightly and landed directly, standing above the void outside Biya Mountain.
Dressed in a Yin Yang Dao Robe, hands behind his back, a gentle breeze lifting the hem of his robe, he indeed possessed an extraordinary immortal aura.
"How bold!"
"State your name immediately!"
Seeing the malintent, one by one, the cultivators of Biya Mountain flew up, confronting Lu Qingfeng in mid-air. Several of them, already at the Spirit Void Level, were restless and eager to advance.
At this moment.
From the depths of Biya Mountain, six lights suddenly appeared.
In just an instant, they positioned themselves at the forefront of the Biya Mountain cultivators.
Lu Qingfeng looked ahead and immediately knew—
"These are the six Reincarnated True Immortals of Biya Mountain."
Examining them one by one.
The group of three, old, middle-aged, and young, were clearly the Three Suns Daoists.
The youthful one must be the Shaoyang Daoist.
The middle-aged Daoist, standing nine feet tall, his face smooth as jade, with a fierce glint in his eyes, was the Zhongyang Daoist.
The last, the elder with white hair and a face like fine jade, was surely the Sun Daoist.
Besides the Three Suns Daoists,
Lu Qingfeng had met Luo Gu before.
However, at this moment, Luo Gu''s physique was ethereal, seemingly less than human, evidently having stabilized his Divine Soul with some Secret Technique, barely maintaining existence. But without a quick body possession and re-cultivation, he would still dissipate between heaven and earth sooner or later.
On Luo Gu''s left was a handsome and resolute young man, Wei Wuding.
On Luo Gu''s right, Feihua Daoist''s eyes sparkled like stars and scattered blossoms, his features a mix of male and female.
The six settled.
"My teacher."
"Ancestor Master."
Biya Mountain disciples paid their respects.
The Three Suns Daoists and the others did not respond, positioning themselves in mid-air, their gazes all falling on Lu Qingfeng.
The Zhongyang Daoist, fiery by nature, wore a Flame Flying Gold Crown on his head, clad in a red robe adorned with dragons, protected by Linked Golden Lock Armor, holding a Fiery Sun Long Sword in hand, his fiery temperament apparent as he glared at Lu Qingfeng and bellowed, "You scoundrel, you ruined Luo''s Dao ability, and before we could seek you out, you dare show up on our doorstep!"
Luo Gu, standing aside, looked at Lu Qingfeng with a calm face, but his eyes hid deep resentment.
He had once been on a path to limitless potential, with a great situation. Just waiting to achieve Perfection in the Barbarian God Realm, to possibly become an Earth Immortal or even a Heavenly Immortal. But because of Lu Qingfeng, his path was cut off in the Material Realm, during the Core Formation Stage.
This was enmity so great, it could not be forgiven!
"Fellow Daoist, your words are greatly mistaken."
"You came to my doorstep; should I have just stood there, letting you kill me?"
Lu Qingfeng pointed at Luo Gu, shaking his head. Seeing Luo Gu''s fierce resentment and Zhongyang Daoist''s glaring eyes ready to retort, he immediately waved his hand, "More words are useless. Today I have come to witness the great methods of the Taoyuan line."
Words were pointless when actions had been taken.
Better to fight sooner.
As Lu Qingfeng spoke—
Zhu Rong, Ju Mang, Gonggong, Qiang Liang, Rushou, Houtu, and Tian Wu, the seven Demon Gods, appeared simultaneously, positioned in mid-air.
Each of the seven Demon Gods wielded Fierce Fire, Green Wood, Great Floods, Thunder, Geng Metal, Earth, Gale, surrounded by extraordinary visions, settling around Lu Qingfeng and dominating half the sky.
Though one man with seven Demon Gods, it was as if the depths of the Nine Nether, the entire Demon Nest had emerged.
The presence swept over, the demonic power vast and mighty.
