Chapter 85: The Third Person in History
Burning Moon Domain, Sword Commanding Stage Holy Land.
Six War Steles that have existed since the Ancient Times, standing tall with a glossy, jade-like sheen, have been handed down for hundreds of thousands of years.
The surface of the steles is engraved with numerous mystical patterns.
Bloodstains, stars, demons, mountains, and rivers, all varying and unique.
Each pattern on the War Steles contains an insight into a battle technique left by Mangcang Demon Venerable.
However, for most people, even if they stare until their eyes water, they cannot discern anything from them.
Throughout the long and rich history of Burning Moon Domain, every demonic cultivator who could comprehend the Mang Cang Warfare has been undoubtedly a prodigy of their era, becoming one of the most dazzling stars of their generation.
Today, Lu Qingshan stood beneath this War Stele of significant importance, scanning the crowd.
Then, in the most indifferent tone, he spoke words that infuriated everyone present.
"Is he calling us vermin?"
None of the demonic cultivators present were of low status.
They were all individuals used to being imperious, when had they ever been described like this?
Lu Qingshan's broad, sweeping insult instantly ignited the anger of the crowd.
Everyone's expressions varied; some remained calm on the surface, but without exception, they were all utterly furious and extremely displeased inside.
Zi Yan Commander was the first to lose patience and decided not to hold back.
He prepared to capture Qing Ge and lock him in the Black Water Prison, making him suffer the pain of body corrosion by the black water.
But at this moment, Lu Qingshan had already extended his hand, gently placing it on the Bloodstain Battle Technique Stele.
It was the very War Stele that Ying Jie had comprehended.
This made Zi Yan Commander's actions come to a halt.
Ying Jie's expression became extremely peculiar.
If earlier he did not understand why Lu Qingshan was so boastful, now seeing this action, how could he not understand his intention?
Impossible, it can't be, does someone really think comprehending the Mang Cang Warfare is that easy?
Ying Jie felt a sense of mockery emerge in his heart.
Things that are rare are precious.
If comprehending the Mang Cang Warfare were not exceedingly difficult, their Burning Moon Domain would not place such high regard on demonic cultivators who achieved it.
Any demonic cultivator who can comprehend the Mang Cang Warfare is considered a miracle.
And he, was the only miracle in three thousand years.
Does Lu Qingshan want to imitate him?
If miracles could be imitated, would they still be called miracles?
"Zi Yan Commander, please capture this impudent fool!" Ying Jie shouted.
Upon hearing this, Zi Yan Commander finally firmed his resolve, hesitating no more, extending his large hand, condensed with demonic qi, intending to suppress Lu Qingshan.
In the next moment.
The Bloodstain Battle Technique Stele suddenly flickered with a dazzling light.
An unusual change occurred.
The seemingly random bloodstains on the stele began to move.
Everyone saw this scene clearly.
"This... this..." Many people exclaimed in shock, their hearts pounding uncontrollably.
Zi Yan Commander's demonic qi, which was about to be released from his hand, came to a sudden halt and then dissipated.
He stared with wide eyes, his expression intense and fierce.
The anomaly in the War Stele indicated that Qing Ge had triggered its transformation and was awakening to the Mang Cang Warfare.
A miracle was unfolding before their eyes!
Ying Jie was utterly horrified, staring blankly at the Bloodstain Battle Technique Stele, whose patterns had started to move.
"This mixed blood also comprehended the Mang Cang Warfare?" Ying Jie found it hard to accept, his expression twisted with disbelief.
Before this, he was distinctly the only one who had comprehended the Mang Cang Warfare, and now someone else appeared, stealing his thunder.
Not to mention he already had conflicts with Lu Qingshan, even without any grudges, Ying Jie would feel extremely dissatisfied, biting down in resentment.
Mere moments ago, on the plaza, many demonic cultivators observing the ceremony were still furious at Lu Qingshan's arrogance, criticizing him and wanting to see his downfall.
Zi Yan Commander was ready to act and suppress this villain.
Ying Jie and Hong Lie Demon Lord were confident of their victory.
Chi Li secretly shook his head, feeling sorry for Lu Qingshan's lack of understanding.
Many powerful demonic cultivators attending the ceremony, although methodically retreating, pretending not to be interested in the farce, could not help but occasionally glance towards this side, attracted and partially distracted.
At this moment, no matter who, they all uniformly stopped, closed their mouths, and quietly watched the constantly changing War Stele.
And, the seemingly small figure under the War Stele, yet could not be ignored, Lu Qingshan.
On the Bloodstain Battle Technique Stele, the bloodstains continuously interweaved, moved, like snakes and dragons, starting to roll up and down, so fast that they transformed into untangible afterimages.
A terrifying aura that could annihilate everything spread at this moment.
"No mistake, he is indeed comprehending it. In less than ten days, two geniuses of Shi Wu's lineage have comprehended the Mang Cang Warfare." The Demon Lord Zhonghe, representing Chi Venerable, suddenly appeared, observing the scene and thought to himself.
The lineage of Shi Wu depended on their Chi Venerable faction.
Which meant, with two geniuses emerging from Shi Wu's lineage, the Chi Venerable faction would also benefit.
Logically, he should be extremely happy now.
But...
Demon Lord Zhonghe felt his molars ache, "Why does it have to be him? Anyone else would be fine."
Two geniuses emerging is Shi Wu's lineage's luck.
But these two geniuses loathed each other, deeply incompatible.
Wasn't this also Shi Wu lineage's misfortune?
Demon Lord Zhonghe had countless thoughts running through his mind, reacting quickly, he notified his subordinates, "Inform Chi Venerable and Shi Wu Demon Venerable about Qing Ge's comprehension of the Bloodstain Battle Technique Stele."
