My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

Having followed Gu Qing for ten years, Sun Huowang also knew that Gu Qing came from the Immortal Kingdom.

Although the Immortal Kingdom is very powerful, it is a place where even breathing costs money.

Therefore, without realizing it, the Burning Mountain Spirit Ape also became greedy for money.

As for how these true methods can lead to wealth?

The reason is simple: in the Immortal Kingdom, knowledge is wealth. If these true techniques are brought back to the Immortal Kingdom and their copyrights are registered with the Great Dao Palace, simply selling the techniques can bring in a large amount of spiritual coins.

Sun Huowang jumped onto the jade slip shelf, drooling as he looked at the nearly three or four hundred jade slips on the shelf.

"Look at you, so useless."

"These are all Yellow-grade True Techniques, which can only be cultivated with a single attribute and a single profound mystery."

"The best stuff is on the top two layers."

Gu Qing laughed and scolded.

There was a time when he had to risk his life as a mercenary to obtain a true magic manual as a reward from the Immortal Wood Group.

Now, Gu Qing has achieved true freedom through his own hands.

Being powerful is good.

With a wave of his right hand, Gu Qing didn't even spare the jade slip shelf, directly storing it into his storage ring.

A man and a monkey went straight up to the second floor.

Without even glancing at the contents of the True Dharma on the second floor, he simply packed it up and put it away.

Upon arriving at the third floor of the True Dharma Pavilion, the number of inheritance jade slips decreased sharply, with only a single shelf displaying a dozen or so jade slips.

soon.

Gu Qing saw an ancient-looking jade slip on the shelf, almost identical to the jade slip of the first volume of the Azure Emperor Sword Manual, and picked it up without hesitation.

"equipment!"

Gu Qing silently recited in his heart.

[Equipped Item: Jade Slip Inheriting the Second Volume of the Azure Emperor Sword Manual]

[Rank: Mid-level Earth-grade True Technique]

Completeness: 100%

[Equipment Effect: Gain insights into six ultimate techniques from the Sword Manual's True Method inheritance, master these six techniques, and comprehend the extraordinary power of spring.]

[Note: Every two years after equipping the item, you will permanently gain an insight into one of its unique skills. If the item has been equipped for more than fifteen years, all six unique skills will fuse together, allowing you to comprehend the extraordinary power of spring.]

……

Gu Qinglai conquered the capital of Wei and destroyed the Zhenfa Pavilion, the core asset of the Wei family.

He had no idea how much impact this move would have on the situation in the Southern Continent.

Tens of thousands of miles away, outside the gates of the Crimson Emperor Sword Sect, three Golden Core Realm cultivators from the sect were currently engaged in battle with another Golden Core force supported by the Wei family.

Outside the mountain gate, Zhong Li casually killed a few Foundation Establishment stage lackeys trained by the Wei family. Killing ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators in this world was just a piece of cake for her, as she focused most of her energy on the heavens.

In the sky, six Golden Core Realm cultivators clashed, their powerful auras stirring up the wind and clouds.

Above, the Wei family patriarch unleashed terrifying combat power, unleashing various supernatural abilities and secret techniques that brought forth waves of blood and gore, as if a calamity were descending upon them.

This patriarch of the Wei family actually suppressed Dugu Mingyue, who had cultivated the Fire Spirit Sword Body.

Wei Qingcang's strength truly shocked Zhong Li.

"We need to talk to Father about this as soon as possible; we must send more people from the Immortal Kingdom."

"If Wei Qingcang breaks through to the Purple Mansion realm, the entire Tiannan Continent will be completely out of control. The inheritance of the Longevity Sword Lord must not be taken away by the Wei family."

With this thought flashing through her mind, she looked at Wei Qingcang, who was at the tenth level of the Golden Core Realm and had a profound understanding of more than thirty levels. A trace of apprehension flashed deep in Zhong Li's eyes, and her gaze became more solemn than ever before.

only……

What Zhong Li didn't know was that Dugu Mingyue was suffering in silence at that moment.

Ten years ago, after Dugu Mingyue returned to the Crimson Emperor Sword Sect from the forbidden area of ​​the Four Sects, she began to cultivate her spiritual body.

At first, Dugu Mingyue's cultivation of the Fire Spirit Sword Body was not smooth.

In the third year of her seclusion, she suddenly discovered that she had an extra fetus inside her.

When she cultivates the Fire Spirit Sword Body again, the strange fetus within her body will emit a peculiar fluctuation, allowing her to comprehend the secret techniques of the spirit body and enter a state of enlightenment, making rapid progress in her cultivation.

however.

As the ectopic fetus grew stronger day by day, she felt that the energy it absorbed was also increasing, and sometimes it even absorbed Dugu Mingyue's spiritual power.

As a result, Dugu Mingyue's strength fluctuated.

The reason why Dugu Mingyue was suppressed by Wei Qingcang was largely because the ectopic fetus in her body, which had been conceived for nearly seven years, was becoming increasingly restless, causing her spiritual power to be very unstable and greatly weakening the power of various sword techniques.

Dugu Mingyue was retreating steadily in the sky. Just as she was about to retreat back to the sect's protective formation, she discovered that the Wei family patriarch had stopped his pursuit.

Wei Qingcang's expression inexplicably worsened, turning as black as the bottom of a pot in just a few seconds.

"What happened?"

"The Wei family had the upper hand, so why did they voluntarily withdraw their troops...?"

soon.

Even the disciples of the Crimson Emperor Sword Sect fighting on the ground noticed that the Wei family was inexplicably retreating and leaving in an orderly manner.

The Wei family withdrew their troops, but only two Golden Core cultivators remained.

As for Wei Qingcang himself, he transformed into a streak of blood and fled into the distance.

"Sect Master, shall we continue the pursuit?"

Hao Yan and another Golden Core Realm cultivator approached Dugu Mingyue and inquired.

"Don't chase after them."

"The other side clearly had the upper hand, yet they took the initiative to withdraw. It's highly likely they were plotting against us."

"Don't chase after them."

"The other side clearly had the upper hand, yet they took the initiative to withdraw. It's highly likely they were plotting against us."

"Let all disciples return to the sect to rest."

"Ugh—"

As Dugu Mingyue finished speaking, she suddenly let out a hiccup uncontrollably, and her spiritual energy fluctuated.

"Sect Master, are you alright?"

Hao Yan and another Golden Core elder expressed their concern.

Dugu Mingyue waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, but she couldn't help but recall the scene of sword tempering in the forbidden area and that ordinary-looking man.

……

The imperial city of Wei.

Countless plumes of smoke rose from all parts of the imperial city.

After Gu Qing broke through the imperial city's protective array, some people still couldn't suppress their greed. They stormed into the palace through the gap Gu Qing had created and plundered various cultivation resources.

Of course, these cultivators all had an unspoken agreement: none of them went to the area where Gu Qing was.

Gu Qing is occupying the most prime location in the palace and is looting extensively.

"Rumble..."

Just as Gu Qing walked out of the True Law Pavilion and looked at the Blood Bone Sacred Cave, whose array restrictions had been broken, not far away, a terrifying aura suddenly came from the depths of the Blood Bone Sacred Cave.

A vast and unfathomable aura descended from the sky, seemingly traversing space.

moment.

This aura had already descended into the depths of the Bloodbone Sacred Cave, a mountain forged from unknown bones.

This aura spread rapidly, quickly enveloping an area of ​​a thousand meters in radius, and even the entire imperial city area.

This aura, carrying an incomparably powerful pressure, was like a god or a demon, pressing down like a vast ocean.

Gu Qing, who was originally able to move freely, felt as if he had sunk into some kind of quagmire. The transparent air became stagnant, and every step he took required a lot of physical strength.

"Boss, run!!"

"Something has changed at the Blood Bone Sacred Cave. It seems that the old monster from the Wei family has returned, or perhaps he has always been inside the cave."

"impossible……"
