Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1067 The Exile

In the polar night, long-lost light once again shines down from the sky, and the blood moon that once hung high in the sky has disappeared.

After the world was reopened, this realm regained its vitality and was no longer plagued by strange beasts and bizarre plants.

The last time I came to this world was a very long time ago. At that time, the entire polar night world was devoid of life, all things withered, and no living beings could be seen on the earth.

"So, is this yet another new cycle?"

"The previous era of the Polar Night World has ended, and a new beginning has begun. The current beings seem to be sinners banished from the Blood Spirit Realm."

Li Qing murmured to himself, looking at this unfamiliar world, feeling a surge of inexplicable emotions.

Now, everything in the polar night world has nothing to do with him anymore; all the people and things he knew are completely gone.

With this thought in mind, his figure blurred for a moment, and he traversed endless distances to arrive at the town's boundary marker.

This stele still stands, enduring through the ages.

Although the polar night world is now nascent with spiritual energy, it is still unable to support his immense power. He must constantly suppress his cultivation level, otherwise he may face the tribulation of ascension at any time, which would directly lead him to the Blood Spirit Realm.

Of course, Li Qing wouldn't mind taking another ascension from this realm to the unknown Blood Spirit Realm, but there are some things he still needs to confirm.

"We definitely have to go to the Blood Spirit Realm. Lin Jing will most likely end up there. But for now, I want to see what the powerful beings in the Blood Spirit Realm intend to do with it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qing pointed out with one finger, and a surge of rich true essence overflowed from his fingertip. The enormous boundary marker trembled, and finally rose from the ground, slowly shrinking and landing in Li Qing's palm.

He had already refined the monument the last time he came to the Polar Night World, but he didn't take it with him because of its special nature.

Now his cultivation has risen significantly again, making him much stronger than he was before. He has also comprehended the Law of Chaos, giving him a new and insightful perspective on many things.

Through the town's boundary marker, Li Qing learned a lot.

"Indeed, it is the Blood Spirit Realm that is using this realm to cultivate some kind of mysterious Daoist technique. The blood moon that used to stretch across the sky was also the work of that mysterious powerful being."

"He uses this to evolve reincarnation, which should be a necessary condition for the cultivation of Tao. Each epoch change in the polar night world is a cultivation for him."

Li Qing guessed that the mysterious powerful being must have cultivated some kind of Taoist magic or supernatural power related to reincarnation, or directly comprehended the laws of reincarnation; anything was possible.

In the future, the creatures on the polar night world will once again multiply and grow stronger.

After a certain period of time, the blood moon will descend again, replacing the sun of this world.

Then this world fell into darkness again. After being ravaged by the secret power of the Red Moon, strange beasts roamed the land. Finally, many terrifying plants appeared, wreaking havoc and destroying all living things.

In the following period, Li Qing used the boundary marker to suppress himself and prevent his magical energy from leaking out.

From then on, he became like an observer, overlooking the entire land of the polar night world, watching everything in this world arise and perish.

Time passed gradually, and several years went by in the blink of an eye. During this time, he never interfered with the development of these creatures.

Not long after, Li Qing suddenly discovered an old man who appeared to be at least a hundred years old. However, he discovered that this man had lived for far more than that, and his bone age was quite ancient, at least tens of thousands of years.

“This is interesting. This person should be a ‘guilty’ person who was exiled from the Blood Spirit Realm. His cultivation has been completely abolished, and he has become a mortal, but he is not dead yet.”

Li Qing became interested. He knew that the old man was probably at least at the Integration Stage in his lifetime, and it was even very likely that he had reached the Perfection of the Integration Stage.

He wanted to know why the other party had not died of old age, even though his cultivation had been destroyed, he was still able to live forever in the world.

Thus, Li Qing focused all his attention on the old man, his powerful divine sense constantly observing him.

After some time, Li Qing noticed something. The other party was cultivating some kind of unique method of longevity, which did not require the use of magical power. He could directly assimilate with the world with his body, which was very mysterious.

"It's somewhat like the Great Dao of Nature, yet it transcends it. This person must have been very powerful before being exiled, probably quite famous in the Blood Spirit Realm!"

Since they were banished to the lower realm, they have value in communicating with each other.

Ultimately, Li Qing decided to have a conversation with him and try to find out some information about the Blood Spirit Realm from him.

With a flash, he arrived in front of the old man's wooden house.

"who?"

Before Li Qing could make a sound, a hoarse voice came from inside the wooden house.

"My name is Wuji. I am sorry for my unannounced visit. I hope you will forgive me, sir."

After a moment of silence, the old man's voice came from inside the wooden house again: "Come in. I haven't seen a living person in nearly a hundred years. Why should I blame you?"

The new era of the polar night world has just begun, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is still very thin. Looking across the entire world, there are hardly any cultivators at the Qi Refining stage. He has no worries that anyone will be able to harm him.

He pushed open the door and saw a gaunt old man dressed in hemp clothing sitting on a blue stone. His eyelids were slightly lowered, and he looked like a withered tree, completely still.

"Old man, you have lost all your magical powers yet you can still live forever between heaven and earth. I admire you!" Li Qing said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the old man suddenly opened his cloudy eyes, his pupils shooting out two beams of light as he scrutinized Li Qing.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't possibly discern Li Qing's current cultivation level. He had completely concealed it, and even cultivators of the same level might not be able to detect it, let alone this old man who had lost all his cultivation.

"Are you a descendant of the exiles? No, if you were truly a descendant of the exiles, you should have embarked on the path of cultivation. Why can't I sense even a trace of spiritual energy from you?" The old man frowned.

"If you can sense my cultivation level, then there's something fishy going on," Li Qing thought to himself, then chuckled and said, "Old man, how can you be so sure that I possess spiritual roots and can embark on the path of cultivation?"

"That's true. If you possess spiritual roots, I wouldn't mind passing on my legacy to help you embark on the path of cultivation."

"Speak, what brings you to visit me? It can't be that you've taken a fancy to my immortality technique, can it? If you're interested, I wouldn't mind passing it on to you as well."

He wasn't particularly interested in such profound methods of achieving immortality, so he went straight to the point and asked, "I'd like to know some things about the Blood Spirit Realm. Could you tell me a thing or two, sir?" The old man raised an eyebrow, then looked at Li Qing with a half-smile and said, "Your elders didn't tell you about the Upper Realm, so you came to me to inquire?"

Li Qing did not respond to this. Although he could have used his divine sense to forcibly open the other party's sea of ​​consciousness and search through their memories, he did not do so, simply because it was unnecessary.

Since the information he wanted to inquire about was not top secret, but just some ordinary intelligence from the Blood Spirit Realm, the other party naturally had no need to hide it from him.

As he expected, the old man generously told him about some things in the Blood Spirit Realm.

Although the Blood Spirit Realm is not as vast and boundless as the Spirit Realm he resides in, it still possesses many powerful individuals and top-tier forces.

The powerful being who used the polar night world to cultivate the Dao of Reincarnation came from a force called the Blood Central Palace. He was known as the Lord of the Blood Central Palace and was a supreme being in the late Mahayana stage, with strength approaching that of an immortal.

Besides the Lord of the Blood Central Palace, before each change of the Polar Night World Era, the Heavenly Mystery Sect would release some strange plants they had newly refined into this world, which would then devour a large number of living beings and grow.

Once the world is destroyed and this realm is reopened, the Heavenly Mystery Sect will reclaim all the plants, and the remaining surviving beings will be taken to the Blood Spirit Realm.

Through this repeated process, the Heavenly Mystery Sect and the Lord of the Blood Central Palace gained immense benefits from the Polar Night World, and have always been considered one of the strongest forces in the Blood Spirit Realm.

As for those who were brought back to the Blood Spirit Realm, they would all be labeled as sinners, and their descendants would be unable to wash away the mark of sin. In the future, they might even be exiled to the Polar Night World to become nourishment for others.

After hearing these words, Li Qing remained silent for a long time, finally understanding the truth of the matter.

"Old man, do you know why this boundary marker is called the Boundary of Sin?"

The old man shook his head and said, "No one knows the specific reason. There are only some guesses. It is said that in the distant past, there was a supreme being in this world who ascended to the Immortal Realm. In the end, he committed a great crime in the Immortal Realm, which implicated this world."

“From then on, all living beings in this world were branded with guilt, it’s that simple.”

"But it's just a legend. I don't know the reason. Anyway, ever since I was born in the Blood Spirit Realm, I've been treated as a sinner. If it weren't for a chance encounter, it would be almost impossible for me to embark on the path of cultivation."

Li Qing was deeply shaken. After hearing the legend the other person spoke of, he understood why he was able to travel to the polar night world.

So this is the Demon Lord's homeland.
No wonder, after arriving in the polar night world, he felt that the demon lord's will in his sea of ​​consciousness had become extremely calm, as if there was no sign of its revival.

After pondering for a long time, Li Qing sighed deeply in his heart. Now everything was clear.

Li Qing bid farewell to the old man, stepped out of the wooden house, and his figure disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Upon witnessing this scene, the old man's pupils dilated in shock, and he exclaimed, "The Integration Stage? How is that possible?"

"Why wasn't this person's cultivation abolished? Could he be a lackey of the Blood Central Palace or the Heavenly Mystery Sect? No, this person knows nothing about the Blood Spirit Realm, so he shouldn't be from this realm or the Upper Realm."

"Could the rumors be true? Is there really such a thing as a successor to the Demon Lord, who can travel to the Demon Lord's homeland at any time with just a thought?!"

"."

Li Qing ignored the old man's shock and didn't care at all that his cultivation level had been exposed.

Even if his fame spreads throughout the entire Polar Night World, it will have no impact on him. After all, his main place of cultivation is still in the Spirit Realm, and he will most likely not stay in the Polar Night World in the future. He will ascend directly from the Polar Night World to the Blood Spirit Realm.

It's just not now yet.

And so he returned to the spirit world, back to the simple cave he had carved out.

After doing all this, he patted the silver ring on his wrist, and a dark purple jade cauldron flew out.

He couldn't possibly make his trip to the Polar Night World in front of this person, so he hid the other person inside the Cave Heaven Treasure.

"Boy, what exactly did you do? You were acting so sneakily, and you even did it behind my back," Jade Spirit Venerable questioned coldly.

He naturally wouldn't reveal all his secrets, but instead chuckled and said, "Hehe, it's just some personal matters I need to take care of, and it's inconvenient for you to know, senior."

"You've got quite a few secrets, kid. I really want to dig out all the things you're hiding from you."

However, Jade Spirit Venerable did not pay too much attention to it. She fell silent again and did not continue to ask what Li Qing had done during that time.

It's perfectly normal for someone to have reached this level of cultivation and not want to reveal certain things about themselves.

At this point, Li Qing emerged from seclusion once again. He continued to conceal his cultivation level and began traveling the world.

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In that year, a momentous event occurred in the human realm, shaking the entire cultivation world.

In the south-central part of the human territory, a cave dwelling originating from the ancient Celestial Venerable has emerged!

In no time, cultivators from almost half of the cultivation world were mobilized, and even the Dao Palace sent people to investigate the truth of the matter.

The cave dwelling left behind by the ancient celestial beings is millions of years old.

If some of the medicinal herbs among them are still alive, that would be quite extraordinary.

Of course, this is highly unlikely. So much time has passed that even the most precious herbs will eventually wither and turn to dust. Unless it is an immortal herb, it is impossible for it to exist in the world forever.

Even so, many cultivators still rushed there like madmen. After all, it was the cave of an ancient celestial being, and if they could obtain some scriptures or inheritances from it, it would be an extremely significant matter.

More than ten days later, news about that cave dwelling spread throughout the world again. The origin of that cave dwelling was found out. It was actually left behind by an ancient celestial being of the human race in the origin era of Tianyuan Continent.

This celestial deity is none other than the Taiyin Celestial Deity!

Once this news spread, the Yin-Yang Sect went almost mad, sending out all its elite forces to attack the cave of the Taiyin Heavenly Venerable. Even the old sect leader, who had been in seclusion for many years, emerged from his retreat.
