Yellow Court Daoist

[Magic Artifact: Qiantian One-element Thunderbolt]

[Derivation Technique: Five times enhancement]

[Description: A secret passed down by the Six-Eyed Heavenly Gate in the Changqing Realm. It is refined from the Mysterious Technique at the border of two skies, condensing the imminent and unmanifested Thunder in the air. Each bead can only be used once, but the power is immense, and it is even more formidable than various Divine Thunders in righteous and evil sects.]

"Qiantian One-element Thunderbolt!"

"What a treasure!"

When Xunfeng Demon heard the scornful words from Lu Qingfeng, his eyes stared at Lu Qingfeng like an evil wolf, "A treasure indeed, but it can only be used once. How many Qiantian One-element Thunderbolts do you have on hand for use?"

Ice Flame Cold Thunder, Qiantian One-element Thunderbolt, and others are all condensed from Thunder and excel in power with the Gathering Law, released by intent. However, the flaw is also evident; once released, they cannot be reclaimed and consume a great deal of power.

Xunfeng Demon's face turned unpleasant, wary of the Thunderbolts in Lu Qingfeng's hand, but aware of the crucial point, unwilling to retreat easily.

On the side, Jian Zhang, who had been cultivating for thousands of years and had relied on his techniques to dominate, had his methods broken by Lu Qingfeng and was injured all over, filled with endless cold poison, hating Lu Qingfeng to the bone and even less willing to leave easily.

Elsewhere.

Yun Luo and Gongsun Luan, immersed in their battle, were also attracted by the thunderous roar here, stopping their fight and both beautiful eyes turned towards Lu Qingfeng and the other two.

Surprise was evident on their faces.

"How many?"

Listening to Xunfeng Demon's words, mockery appeared on Lu Qingfeng's face as he pointed at Jian Zhang, whose hatred soared to the sky, "The 'Stone Fire Divine Thunder' that I just used to deal with you, devil, specializes in defeating Yin Demons. I don't have many or few, exactly seventy-two left."

Lu Qingfeng stretched out his hand and wiped it through the Void.

Seventy-two Xuanhuang Beads were arranged in the Void, flashing Xuan Light.

This was the 'Stone Fire Divine Thunder' he used against Jian Zhang.

[Magic Artifact: Stone Fire Divine Thunder]

[Derivation Technique: Five times enhancement]

[Description: A secret passed down by the Breaking Demon Sect in the Changqing Realm. Made from the Spirit Stone True Fire that has been forming for thousands of years in the underground and in the belly of mountains, taking decades of hard work to refine, it is the bane of Yin Demons.]

Seeing this, hatred on Jian Zhang's face immediately turned uglier.

Nine 'Stone Fire Divine Thunders' had turned his painstakingly nurtured Thirty-six Layers of Blood Shadows into nothing. If the seventy-two fell, wouldn't even he turn into ash?!

Seeing Jian Zhang's face turning unsightly, Lu Qingfeng's mockery increased, and he said to Xunfeng Demon, "The 'Qiantian One-element Thunderbolt' is somewhat difficult to refine, and I only have eighteen left. If you dare, come try them out."

Lu Qingfeng waved his hand grandly.

Eighteen Purple Beads fell into the air, which were the Qiantian One-element Thunderbolts.

Lu Qingfeng's Magic Sword incarnation, itself an Eighth Rank Magical Artifact, fears neither Water, Fire, Wind, nor Thunder. Whether it was going to the border of two skies to condense the Thunder that was about to strike or traveling deep underground and into the mountain bellies to collect Spirit Stone True Fire, all were effortlessly done without any harm.

Even more effortlessly than many Primordial Spirit Practitioners.

For a thousand years.

He had in fact refined quite a number of Divine Thunders and Thunderbolts.

Ice Flame Cold Thunder, Stone Fire Divine Thunder, and Qiantian One-element Thunderbolt were just part of them.

Now, ninety Divine Thunders and Thunderbolts were arranged in the air.

Xunfeng Demon didn't utter a word.

He stomped his foot, the Xuanhuang energy blossoming with radiance, and in the next instant, a Gale surged up, and Xunfeng Demon disappeared with a howl.

He actually retreated directly.

"Xunfeng!"

Seeing this, Jian Zhang and Gongsun Luan both showed changes in their expressions.

It was an evenly matched situation, even holding a slight advantage, but with Xunfeng Demon withdrawing, the situation on the field instantly weakened.

"Qing Yuanzi."

"Consider yourself victorious this time. When I find the technique to counter your Thunderbolts, I will return to take your head and vent the hatred in my heart!"

Jian Zhang truly hated Lu Qingfeng down to the bones.

As he turned to leave.

The Blood Spring paved the path, piercing through the Void, directly connecting from Black Water Mountain to the far end of Yanqing Ridge. Before leaving, he didn't forget to turn his head and hurl venomous words at Lu Qingfeng.

Then he stepped on the Blood Spring and disappeared in an instant.

"No need for the grand escort."

"In three hundred years, I will visit Yanqing Ridge myself, and a myriad of Thunders will send you into ashes!"

Lu Qingfeng's voice was loud and clear, entering into the Blood Spring.

"Hmph!"

Jian Zhang's cold snort came through, and until the Blood Spring disappeared, no more words came.

And so.

The formidable three Primordial Spirits turned into just Gongsun Luan alone in the blink of an eye.

"Fellow Daoist Qing Yuanzi single-handedly faced off against two and scared away Jian Zhang and Xunfeng, making a name for himself in this battle in the Southern Border."

"I shall congratulate you in advance."

Gongsun Luan smiled charmingly, as if she hadn't come to provoke just earlier.

Lu Qingfeng's gaze turned, landing on Gongsun Luan. In front of him, the ninety Divine Thunders and Thunderbolts floated up and down, ready to be unleashed at any moment.

Yun Luo stepped forward slowly, with a sword pill turning into a supple thread around her fingers, ready to strike.

"The two of you are busy, no need to bother entertaining me."

"I shall take my leave."

Seeing this, Gongsun Luan dared not stay. She turned into a rainbow light, swiftly returning to Divine Room Mountain.

...

Black Water Mountain.

After the great battle, only Lu Qingfeng and Yun Luo remained.

Yun Luo came in front of the mountain, her gaze landing on the ninety divine thunders and Thunderbolts arranged in the Void in front of Lu Qingfeng, her eyes shimmering.

Lu Qingfeng waved his hand grandly, collecting all the Divine Thunder and Thunderbolts in front of him, and said, "These are good for defense, but if used for offense, they are easily dodged. Difficult to refine, and not worth wasting."

These Divine Thunder and Thunderbolts serve their greatest purpose not in overpowering or killing the enemy, but in deterrence. As long as they are not released, even Primordial Spirit Practitioners have to be wary.

Like Jian Zhang.

Like Xunfeng Demon.

Like Gongsun Luan.

Having witnessed the might of this weapon, they didn't dare to press too hard and had to retreat one by one, conceding Black Water Mountain to Lu Qingfeng.

Otherwise.

Continuing the attack, provoking Lu Qingfeng into madness, and having Divine Thunders and Thunderbolts rain down chaotically, even if they would not die, they would be seriously injured.

It wouldn't be worth it to beat Lu Qingfeng.

Furthermore.

If pressed into desperation, Lu Qingfeng could bring thousands of Divine Thunders and Thunderbolts to their doorstep. Even if they had an Array to defend and suppress, under such might, leveling the ground would be a mere trifle.

Centuries, even millennia of accumulation, turned into foam and shadows.

Better to return.

As for Lu Qingfeng,

Divine Thunder and Thunderbolt possess great power, but they are limited in his hands. Even relying on these to severely injure Jian Zhang and the others, or flatten Yanqing Ridge, Fu Huo Mountain, and Divine Room Mountain, it would mean losing the trump card that deters other Primordial Spirit Practitioners of the Southern Border.

It would only bring more trouble.

Better to cease action.

The two sides readily agreed.

Thus, a great battle came to an end.

"Hmm."

"The Divine Thunder is not bad."

Yun Luo nodded indifferently, rarely offering proactive praise.

Lu Qingfeng heard and smiled.

He continued to order the Moving Mountain Warriors to transport mountains.

The thirty-six peaks outside Black Water Mountain had long been turned into dust; the surrounding lands within thousands of miles were flat, ruined in the recent battle.

Primordial Spirit Battle.

It was common for thousands, even tens of thousands of miles of land to be scorched.

Lu Qingfeng commanded the Moving Mountain Warriors to fetch mountains from thousands of miles away, placing them down in their proper positions, arranging them around Black Water Mountain. The cultivators from all directions who saw this dared not interfere, avoiding it as much as they could.

Thousands of miles of land.

Still bearing the traces of battle and the remnants of thunder.

Mountains set down among them, the brilliant thunder rampaged, completely obliterating Poison Mist, Evil Spirits, and Ghosts.

Saving Lu Qingfeng quite a bit of Three Lights Divine Water.

Three days later.

One hundred and eight large and small mountains were arranged in all directions, according to their positions. The earth's veins followed, the earth's energy converged, and instantly boundless Spiritual Energy frolicked, even the sun, moon, and stars above were attracted, scattering rays of light.

In a blink of an eye.

Centered around Black Water Mountain, the rich Spiritual Energy was auspicious. The Southern Border's Black Water Mountain, once known as a desolate and treacherous land, unexpectedly changed its appearance, becoming a Spirit Land suitable for Immortals.

Moving Mountains and Changing Mountains.

Changing the heavens and earth.

The Mysterious Technique was beyond the imagination of Mortals.

"Duō!"

Lu Qingfeng stood on the mountain peak, waving his hand and casting out seventy-two Big Flags, on which the sun, moon, and stars were arranged, echoing and summoning the sun, moon, and stars above.

With a sweep of his hand.

The seventy-two Sun, Moon, and Stars Banners were placed within seventy-two surrounding mountains, sinking into the heart of the mountains.

Immediately.

Nature's spiritual energy converged, and the sun, moon, and stars showed their compassion.

Seeing this, Lu Qingfeng watched as the Sun, Moon, and Stars Banners unfurled within the heart of the mountains, yet fluttered as if they were stars in the sky. Swallowing thousands of Spiritual Energy, drawing boundless power from the stars.

Another three days.

The lights on the flags grew even more dazzling.

"Dharma Protection Marshal."

"Demon Suppressing General."

"Disciple Qing Yuan, respectfully invites your arrival!"

Lu Qingfeng spoke with reverence, muttering the incantation incessantly.

The next instant.

From the seventy-two Sun, Moon, and Stars Banners, Spiritual Energy and the power of the sun, moon, and stars surged, the Void trembled, and one after another Mystic Armored Divine Generals and Golden Armored Divine Beings emerged from the flags.

Landing in the midst of the seventy-two mountains, before the flag poles.

Ready to be commanded.

"This is truly how Yu Mountain Sect practitioners establish their Cave Mansions, genuinely suppressing the petty and resisting powerful enemies."

Lu Qingfeng saw one after another Dharma Protection Marshal and Golden Armored Divine Beings, each one wielding halberds and whips, holding knives and swords, all majestic. With the assistance of the Sun, Moon, and Stars Banners and the Array, it was not a problem to face off against three or five ordinary Primordial Spirit Practitioners.

However, it was only because Lu Qingfeng had apprenticed under Rong Hong True Immortal that he could enjoy such treatment and could command such Marshals and Divine Generals.

For ordinary Yu Mountain Sect Primordial Spirit Practitioners, it was a lesser affair.

Lu Qingfeng's thoughts flowed.

He chanted the incantation again.

The Sun, Moon, and Stars Banners fluttered, and fairies and Powerful Warriors sprang out from them.

The fairies planted flowers.

The Powerful Warriors plowed the land.

They began to set up Black Water Mountain vigorously.

All arrangements followed Lu Qingfeng's intentions. Where to plant flowers, where to plant trees, where to lay roads, and build palaces, were all decided by Lu Qingfeng's will.

"Truly thorough."

Lu Qingfeng watched and couldn't help but praise, smiling and then said to Yun Luo beside him, "With the Dharma Protection Marshal and Demon Suppressing General guarding, Sister may pick any mountain peak for cultivation at will."

"Hmm."

Upon hearing this, Yun Luo nodded and landed on a mountain peak closest to Black Water Mountain. She exhaled a sword pill, and with sword Qi criss-crossing in a flash, she carved out a Cave Mansion in the mountain.

Lu Qingfeng looked over.

He saw Array Flags being thrown out, surrounding the inner and outer parts of the Cave Mansion. As the Array activated, it concealed everything. Internal and external areas became isolated, invisible to each other.

"Such temperament."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

No longer looking.

With a step, he landed beside Black Water Pond at the foot of Black Water Mountain.

With a wave of his hand, Wind, Fire, Thunder erupted, blasting open a Cave Mansion on one side. With a thought, the earth's veins of the one hundred and eight mountains, along with Black Water Mountain, shifted, and the earth's energy circulated.

Concealing the Cave Mansion.

Mysterious, even beyond the Array outside Yun Luo's Cave Mansion.

Nearby mountains.

Inside the Cave Mansion.

Yun Luo sensed the changes, and while sitting cross-legged, opened her eyes and looked towards Black Water Mountain and Black Water Pond, her eyes reflecting contemplation.

For a long while.

She then closed her eyes to cultivate.
