The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Chapter 367 Jiang Qingge's Four Origins: Retrieving One and Rapidly Improving the Nine Nether Empress
Jiang Qingge closed her eyes and sensed for a while, then opened them again, looking slightly surprised.

"How did you know? It seems like it really is over there."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye smiled slightly. That was probably the case. What attracted her was likely the stone carving, or rather, the mysterious altar.

"Let's go, I might know exactly where you sensed the location."

As they led Jiang Qingge deeper into the area, the evil spirits they encountered along the way changed from acquired to innate, approaching the level of a martial arts grandmaster.

However, under the current circumstances, whether it was an evil spirit at the Innate Realm or a martial arts master, Lu Ye simply waved his hand, and all obstacles vanished.

Soon, two figures appeared and went straight to the deepest part of the swamp.

Looking at the somewhat familiar black soil, Lu Ye glanced over and saw a completely empty scene.

The stone carving that had been discovered by chance earlier did not appear; it remained hidden by the mysterious array.

Seeing a hint of doubt on Jiang Qingge's face, Lu Ye explained, "I came here before when I came to rescue you."

"At that time, there was a stone platform and a stone sculpture here... The sculpture looked almost exactly like you."

"Huh?! Exactly the same as me?!"

This was the first time Lu Ye had ever mentioned this to her.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingge was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of shock.

“You’ll definitely find it familiar when you see it, but unfortunately, this isn’t the specific situation, so the true scene here won’t be revealed,” Lu Ye said.

After calming herself down a bit, Jiang Qingge asked, "What would it take to make this place show the stone carving you mentioned?"

"The Night of the Blood Moon..."

Lu Ye's voice was calm, and when it reached Jiang Qingge's ears, it immediately made Jiang Qingge believe it to be about 80%.

Because her cultivation speed would increase significantly every time a blood moon appeared.

So, are these stone carvings... really related to me?

"So what do we do now? Should we go back first?" Jiang Qingge asked softly.

After a moment's thought, Lu Ye had an idea: "Let's go to the town closest to the swamp first and stay there for a few days. If the blood moon doesn't appear within ten days, then we'll wait for the next opportunity. If it does appear, we can come that night."

Upon hearing this idea, Jiang Qingge nodded: "Okay, let's do it your way."

The next second, the two left the place one after the other.

Less than five minutes after the two left, a huge evil spirit at the level of a martial arts grandmaster slowly floated out from somewhere.

Smelling the scent of a living person, the powerful Grandmaster-level evil spirit revealed a hint of drooling.

What a sweet, living scent! It's intoxicating even to evil spirits!

It's a pity it ran so fast.

...

The nearest town to the Black Forest Swamp is about eighty miles away.

When the two arrived, they asked the yawning waiter to help them get a room. Originally, Lu Ye wanted two rooms, but Jiang Qingge refused.

“We are husband and wife, why would we need two rooms? If word gets out, people will laugh at us.”

So, at Jiang Qingge's request, the two booked the same guest room.

For the next few days, the nights were uneventful, with no blood moon appearing, which also meant that the situation in the deepest part of the Black Forest Swamp remained unchanged.

However, Lu Ye also used the time in the past few days to completely stabilize his cultivation at the fifth level of the mortal realm Grandmaster.

Finally, on the sixth night, when the bright moon reappeared in the sky... "It's here...it's here!"

Jiang Qingge habitually sat by the window, and when she looked up casually, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

The moon in the night sky was still bright and clear, but within that brightness and clarity, there was a faint hint of bloodshed!

Lu Ye, who had been cultivating outside during the day and digesting the resources at hand, had just returned to the inn when he saw the trace of blood in the moonlight and his eyes lit up.

"Come on, I'll take you to see it."

The two left the town silently and headed towards the Black Forest Swamp, dozens of miles away.

A few days later, when they returned, the obstacles along the way seemed to have been cleared away by Lu Ye that night, and they didn't encounter many evil spirits blocking their path.

The deepest part of the swamp.

The two returned to the same spot and gazed at the black earth. Unlike the previous days, a square altar had indeed appeared there!
Under the moonlight, a mysterious stone sculpture stood, and from Jiang Qingge's direction, the face of the sculpture could be seen directly.

“Really… just like me?!” Jiang Qingge was stunned after taking a look.

Just then, a huge evil spirit that had been drooling for several days and had been wandering around the area floated out from the darkness.

A massive wave of evil intent instantly filled this area, enough to instill fear in any martial arts master below the late stage!

"Oh it's you."

After clearly seeing the evil spirit, Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.

Lu Ye had encountered this evil spirit the first time he entered the deepest part of the swamp, but at that time, in order to avoid any further complications, he chose to retreat quietly.

Now we meet again...

Just as the evil spirit felt its saliva... was about to spill out.

Suddenly, I felt as if my whole body was being held captive by an incredibly powerful force, unable to move at all!
In Jiang Qingge's eyes, the powerful evil spirit, comparable to the late stage of a martial arts grandmaster, began to crumble and dissolve the next moment!

Before long, a malevolent crystal core floated in mid-air.

"Alright, the danger here is over. Go and take a look." Lu Ye said casually as he put the evil spirit crystal core into his storage ring.

"Yes, thank you, my husband." Jiang Qingge nodded, then calmed her breathing and slowly walked to the mysterious altar.

Looking at the mysterious stone carvings in the altar, Jiang Qingge had a vague sense of familiarity.

Suddenly, as the crimson moonlight enveloped them, crimson light surged forth from Jiang Qingge and the mysterious stone sculpture that resembled her so closely!

A stream of light suddenly emerged from the mysterious stone sculpture's brow and entered Jiang Qingge's brow!

Suddenly, Jiang Qingge's aura began to rise rapidly, heading towards the Innate Realm!

Lu Ye, who witnessed the whole scene, was slightly surprised.

The current improvement should be the opportunity and chance that Jiang Qingge mentioned.

Unexpectedly, there was an opportunity within this mysterious stone carving that could help her improve herself.

After a moment's thought, Lu Ye waved his hand, and a barrier enveloped the area to prevent his aura from leaking out.

Within the barrier, Jiang Qingge's powerful aura rapidly ascended, quickly reaching the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels of the Acquired Realm...

Just as Jiang Qingge was rapidly improving, far away in Yunye City, Youluo, behind the shop courtyard, seemed to sense something and looked up at the blood moon in the night sky.

"I have a feeling that the Lord has already rediscovered a part of his original essence..."

Youluo murmured to herself.

If the four origins can be found, the Lord will be able to completely transform and become one of the peaks of his previous life, commanding the Nine Netherworlds!
