Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1091 Return
"Senior, this is the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Spirit Monkey Mushroom that I promised you!"

After returning to her clan's territory, Mingya, who had retrieved the Spirit Staff and received the inheritance of the Wind Elf royal family, naturally inherited the throne of Queen. The first thing she did after taking office was to enter the Flower Chamber and retrieve the spiritual medicine that the previous queen had personally cultivated.

Li Qing took the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Monkey Mushroom from Mingya's hand. It was a purple lingzhi mushroom shaped like a monkey's head, looking somewhat wrinkled, but it contained amazing spiritual energy.

After confirming that it was a ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Monkey Mushroom, Li Qing put it into his cave world.

The only thing missing to refine the Nascent Soul Pill is the Nine-Leaf Mystic Spirit Grass. Once we return to the Tianyuan Continent, we can mobilize the power of the Refining Heaven Pavilion to search for the Nine-Leaf Mystic Spirit Grass.

Given his current status in the Refining Heaven Pavilion, this shouldn't be too difficult.

In the following period, the Elven race held a grand festival to celebrate the birth of the new queen. Li Qing did not leave in a hurry, not to attend the festival, but to browse through various Elven classics and maps of the seas surrounding the Xuanfeng Continent.

From these ancient texts, Li Qing learned many secrets of the Elven race and figured out the approximate location of the Xuanfeng Continent in the Spirit Realm.

The extinction of the Wind Elf race was actually related to the Demon Realm. There were also elves in the Demon Realm, but they were all corrupted dark elves, bloodthirsty and extremely powerful individually.

Afterwards, he came to the former residence of the elven priest of time, a powerful figure who had comprehended the mysteries of the laws of time, and he was quite curious about it.

After staying for a few days, Li Qing found nothing except a rather useless handwritten note.

The journal did not record the priestess's insights and understanding of the laws of time, but only recorded some of her mental journey in her later years.

"The law of time is the most bizarre and unpredictable law in the world. If I continue down this path, I have a premonition that I may go insane."

"I have glimpsed too many visions of the future and am about to be punished by the Heavenly Dao. The next Great Heavenly Tribulation will be the end of my life. Before that, I must leave guidance for my people."

"I can't cultivate anymore. I've even started to doubt what time really is. I have to stop, or it will lead to irreparable consequences."

"In what form do the past and future exist? And what is the difference between the present me and the past me?"

"Time does not exist!!!"

This is the mental journey of that Time Priest in his later years as he cultivated the laws of time. Upon reading the end, Li Qing felt a chill run down his spine and his mind wandered.

But he quickly suppressed his wandering thoughts. The other party had obviously gone mad from cultivating the laws of time, and had completely denied the existence of time. This was equivalent to denying his own path. How could he not go crazy?
"No wonder that elven priest didn't leave behind any insights into the laws of time. If he had really gone down that path, he would have gone mad." Li Qing sighed, completely giving up on his pursuit of the laws of time.

Finally, he put down the scroll and left the elven priest's former residence, intending to officially leave the Xuanfeng Continent.

However, news came from Mingya that the previous Elf Queen was not dead, and a remnant of her soul resided in the Spirit Scepter.

Therefore, Li Qing stayed for a few more days and met with the remnant soul of the previous Elf Queen.

The meeting was nothing special; the other party could only express their gratitude and nothing else.

And so, Li Qing prepared to officially leave the Xuanfeng Continent. Now that he knew the location of the Xuanfeng Continent, returning to the Tianyuan Continent would not be a difficult task.

The journey is quite long. Without the help of a teleportation array, even if he uses all his strength to drive the Wind and Thunder Silver Wings, it will still take him at least two years, and that is assuming no accidents happen along the way.

Before leaving, Mingya, the Elf Queen, came to see him off in person. She looked at Li Qing with some reluctance and said, "Senior Wuji, will we meet again? Thank you for taking care of me these past few days. Without you, I really don't know how I would have found the Spirit Staff. On behalf of the entire Elf race, I thank you!"

Outside Moon Spirit City, Li Qing looked at Mingya, who was wearing a crown, and chuckled, "If fate allows, we will meet again in the future."

"Then you must take care, senior. Mingya hopes to see you again in the future. By then, I should be able to advance to the Fusion Stage!" Mingya placed her hands in front of her chest and looked at Li Qing with anticipation.

"Then I wish you good luck. I hope that when we meet again, you will have already reached the Integration Stage." After saying that, Li Qing's Wind and Thunder Silver Wings spread out and transformed into a silver streak of light, disappearing into the sky.

He also added in his mind, "I hope that when we meet again, I will still be myself."

Mingya stood on the city wall of Moonshadow City for a long time, watching the direction Li Qing had left in, even though the latter's figure had long since disappeared.

After leaving Moonshadow City, Li Qing did not linger for a moment, but flew southeast and soon arrived above the boundless ocean.

This is destined to be a long journey, but fortunately, with his current strength, as long as he doesn't encounter any Mahayana stage beings, crossing the Spirit Realm should not be a problem, and he can easily deal with any danger he encounters.

However, Li Qing still did not dare to fly at full speed. He was constantly aware of his mana consumption. Whenever his mana dropped to 70%, he would stop and use spirit stones to quickly restore his spiritual energy.

Therefore, he estimates that it will take about four years for him to return to Tianyuan Continent this time.

Along the way, he also passed through some islands with unique landscapes and encountered many strange and wonderful races, all of which were beings from the spirit world.

Among them, the creatures called the Ephemeral Clan left the deepest impression on him. The individual strength of this clan was extremely powerful, and the Ephemeral Clan member he encountered was also a Nascent Soul stage expert who was traveling.

Even without using the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, Li Qing could only fight his opponent to a standstill, even with the help of the Azure Heaven Divine Bell. In the end, he was forced to unleash the power of the Chaos Law, which allowed him to gain a slight advantage.

"The myriad beings in this world are truly wondrous. If every member of the mayfly race possessed such combat prowess, even the Three-Eyed Sacred Clan, ranked number one on the Tianyuan Continent, might not be able to match them," Li Qing sighed, continuing his journey on the Wind and Thunder Silver Wings.

After leaving the Xuanfeng Continent, more than half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and he finally set foot on a new continent once again.

This continent is called Qianlan Continent, and it is a rather barren and desolate continent. The cultivation civilization is not flourishing, and the existence of the Mahayana stage is almost legendary. The Integration stage is the top level on this continent. However, there is no trace of human race on this continent, and this is the first time that Li Qing has set foot on a continent without human race.

The absence of humans meant the absence of teleportation arrays, let alone super teleportation arrays spanning continents. Therefore, Li Qing only stayed briefly to recover his magical power before setting off again.

Another year passed in the blink of an eye. After leaving the Qianlan Continent, Li Qing entered a peculiar sea area where the sea creatures were extremely ferocious, and even ordinary sea beasts were highly aggressive.

Staying in this sea area affected even Li Qing's mind, making him somewhat bloodthirsty. He almost couldn't resist killing the seabirds he saw along the way.

"No, this sea area has the power of laws. What kind of place is this?" Li Qing said with a deep frown.

Soon, the Jade Spirit Venerable, who was hanging in his ear, transmitted a message: "This should be the Raging Sea. This area of ​​the sea has been affected by the Law of Raging. Do not stay here for long and fly away quickly. Otherwise, if the Law of Raging invades your sea of ​​consciousness, it may directly change your nature."

Li Qing's lips twitched slightly. He no longer cared about conserving his magic power. He activated the Wind and Thunder Silver Wings with all his might, transforming into a streak of light and traversing the void at top speed to cross this raging sea.

However, this sea area was too vast, and even after more than ten days, Li Qing was still unable to fly away completely.

After his internal magical power was depleted by more than half, he had to slow down.

At this moment, the urge to kill grew stronger in his heart. Unfortunately, several sixth-order sea beasts that were fighting entered his field of vision, and the splattered blood caught his eye. Unconsciously, Li Qing had already summoned the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, wanting to slaughter them to his heart's content.

"Kid, calm down. Try to protect your sea of ​​consciousness with the laws of chaos. Under no circumstances should you make a move. Once you start fighting, you won't be able to stop."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing took a deep breath, quickly put away the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, and used the power of chaos to protect his sea of ​​consciousness.

However, it wasn't very effective; it could only slightly suppress the murderous thoughts in his heart, because the violent laws of this sea were too strong, and their influence on him was subtle and gradual, impossible to completely eliminate.

Li Qing forced himself to calm down, ignoring the ferocious sea beasts that were fighting, and flew out again.

He flew and stopped intermittently, his eyes already slightly red. The desire to kill surged in his heart, and he wished he could slaughter all living beings in the world. Sometimes he couldn't even hear the voice transmission of the Jade Spirit Venerable.

Finally, after several more days, he flew out of the raging sea and his mind returned to normal.

"Huff! Huff!" Li Qing's eyes were still bloodshot, but they had improved a lot. He said with lingering fear, "None of the three thousand Great Dao Laws should be underestimated. Even a violent law that I had never heard of before almost caught me off guard."

Li Qing originally thought that with his current strength, crossing the Spirit Realm shouldn't be too much of a problem, but he didn't expect that an accident would almost happen.

Yu Ji Lingzun said, "This is nothing. There are some more dangerous seas in the Spirit Realm. There is a place called the Sea of ​​Death, where there is no life. It is a true forbidden zone for life. If you fall into it before your cultivation reaches the Mahayana stage, you will perish after a while. That is the power of the Law of Death."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing felt a surge of emotion. He quickly used the spirit stone to restore his magical power and then continued on his journey.

Perhaps due to good fortune, the journey was smooth sailing from then on without any unexpected incidents.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he has arrived at the sea area he knows well. This is the sea area surrounding the Tianyuan Continent. Although it is still far away from the Tianyuan Continent, Li Qing knows that there is an ancient super teleportation array nearby that can directly connect to the outer sea islands near the Tianyuan Continent, which can save half a year of travel!

Just as Li Qing was about to head out, the sky suddenly darkened, and the once clear sky became pitch black.

Rumble!
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly dropped to its lowest point, as if it had been suppressed in some way.

For a moment, Li Qing thought he had arrived in some kind of land in the end times!
"What's going on?!" Li Qing was slightly taken aback, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

The next moment, the Great Dao wailed, and spatial rifts flashed faintly in the high sky, from which chilling, dark primordial demonic energy surged forth.

Upon witnessing this scene, Li Qing gasped, his voice hoarse and strained as he exclaimed, "The Demon Realm is about to connect with the Spirit Realm? A battlefield between the two realms is about to appear!"

"Isn't it a bit too early? I remember there should still be more than a hundred years left!"

He was absolutely familiar with this scene; he had seen it before when he was in the lower realm, but the scene back then was far inferior to what he was seeing now. It was as if the entire sky had been dyed black, and the Demon Realm was about to replace this realm.

Yu Ji Lingzun slowly said, "I have experienced several battles between the two realms before, but I have never seen a scene like this. Back then, the connection between the two realms was limited to a few continents in the Spirit Realm, and the scale of the war was not large."

"But this time it seems that the spirit realm is about to be completely connected with the demon realm."

Li Qing felt a chill run down his spine. If it were truly fully mastered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Spatial rifts flashed across the sky, healing as soon as they appeared, leaving only bursts of primordial demonic energy leaking out.

"Is this just a sign? The two realms haven't even officially connected yet, and the commotion is already so huge," Li Qing muttered to himself.

Yu Ji Lingzun said, "I think this battle between the two realms will be different from the past. It will be extremely large. I wonder what kind of changes have occurred."

Li Qing had anticipated this back in the Xuanfeng Continent, but he never imagined that this demonic calamity might affect the entire Spirit Realm. It was simply too unbelievable. Could it be that even the Tianyuan Continent was not spared?
Li Qing's expression turned serious. He decided to return to Tianyuan Continent immediately and enhance his survival ability as much as possible before the battlefield between the two worlds fully opened.

And so, he arrived at the ancient super teleportation array nearby. Because of this sudden change, the super teleportation array was crowded with beings of all races, all of whom were planning to go to the Tianyuan Continent for refuge!
Seeing this, Li Qing opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.
