Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 97 - 2 in 1]_2

Alas.

Could only continue seclusion, focusing on refining the curse and Evil Silk, feeling extremely stifled at heart.

After Lu Qingfeng executed his Divine Power Spell, he died and entered his seventh life.

The seventh life.

Lu Qingfeng slightly held back, concealed himself diligently, and specialized in killing evil men and demons.

The technique Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation with Void-Solidifying Swords embodied both Divine Movement and attack capabilities. Combined with Lu Qingfeng's True Sect Level Cultivation Method, he was invincible among his peers, and killing someone a rank higher was as easy as eating and drinking. Although the gap between each rank widened as one progressed, at least before reaching the Core Formation Stage, Lu Qingfeng could kill enemies two or three minor realms above him and escape from enemies an entire major realm above.

Like in the sixth life.

Although Lu Qingfeng was only at the Foundation Establishment Qi Introduction Realm, he could even slay Pei Yuan Realm practitioners. When facing Spirit Void Realm Practitioners, he wasn't an opponent, but transformed into a sword light and fled; even Spirit Void Practitioners could not catch up. With Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation, amidst thousands of sword lights, it was impossible for Spirit Void Practitioners to discern which one enveloped Lu Qingfeng's true body.

Even Spirit Void True Cultivators who were a bit slower couldn't keep up with a single sword light and could only watch as Lu Qingfeng escaped.

Divine Power!

True Sect Level Cultivation Method!

Handy Magic Artifact!

Let's not talk about the magic artifact for the time being, after all, most cultivators also possess magic artifacts, at most a gap of one or two ranks can determine the outcome, but it's not the main factor for defeating the enemy.

Unless the gap between magic artifacts is too large.

However, Divine Power and True Sect Level Cultivation Methods were the fundament for Lu Qingfeng to kill above his rank and escape.

Like Divine Power.

Ordinary Postnatal, Foundation Establishment, and even Spirit Void Cultivators, having a Middle-level Technique as a trump card would be considered good. High-level Techniques, deemed secret techniques, even Jiedan True Men have only one or two as trump cards, extremely rare.

Lu Qingfeng, with Divine Power in his grasp, already had a chasm-like difference from those cultivators with Middle and low-level techniques.

Even if the levels of the cultivation techniques were the same, it was enough to be invincible among his peers, killing enemies one or two realms higher.

But the Cultivation Technique Lu Qingfeng practiced was also a rare True Sect Level Cultivation Method in the world. The Inner Breath, True Qi, and True Yuan cultivated from such a method were not only thicker within the same rank but also of higher quality.

The majority of the world's cultivators, especially Loose Cultivators, practiced Basic Level Cultivation Techniques, at best Refined Level Techniques, and those practicing Side Door Level Skills were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Only disciples of Immortal Sects like Luo Fu Sword Sect could cultivate a Side Door Level Cultivation Method like the "Luo Fu Sword Scripture."

Even so, they were still a notch below Lu Qingfeng.

Divine Power techniques!

Levels of Cultivation Techniques!

In situations where he completely crushed others, it was easy for Lu Qingfeng to kill above his rank or escape.

Otherwise, what's the use of these Divine Powers?

What's the use of these Cultivation Techniques?

And if there were other cultivators who practiced Mysterious Level, Supreme Level or even Sect Hierarch Level Cultivation Methods, and mastered Great Divine Power or Supreme Divine Power, they could also crush and overpower Lu Qingfeng across ranks and realms.

The ways of the world are just such.

Ultimately, the realm is just a realm; Divine Powers, Cultivation Techniques, Magic Artifacts and even Elixir Pills are means to increase strength beyond the realm, they are the methods to defend the path.

And Lu Qingfeng exactly wanted to enhance his capabilities in all aspects in the rhythm of slow progression due to the drag of his Root Bone, to increase his self-protection power.

The seventh life.

Lu Qingfeng changed his strategy and began 'mobile operation.' Traveling through desolated mountains and rivers, hunting deeply sinful demons. Miss once and escape a thousand miles. Strike successfully and still escape far away.

While engaging in life and death battles with powerful demons, he contemplated Cultivation Techniques, Divine Power Spells, and various Magic Artifacts.

Lu Qingfeng's combat level continuously improved.

Initially.

Lu Qingfeng mastered the Divine Power and strong Cultivation Techniques, when he reached the Energy Introduction Realm, he could only kill above his rank against Condensed Liquid Realm practitioners and slightly weaker Pei Yuan Realm practitioners. Facing stronger Pei Yuan Realm experts, he would be stuck in a stalemate. Against Body Tempering Realm, he could only hold on for a moment before having to flee in disarray.

However, upon reaching the Energy Introduction Realm in the seventh life, he could fight the Body Tempering Realm colorfully. There was no match under the Body Tempering Realm.

Moreover, Lu Qingfeng discovered that this method of cultivation was not necessarily slower than staying in one place and earnestly practicing Alchemy and Artifact Refining.

In his fifth life, Lu Qingfeng spent fifteen years to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But in his seventh life, Lu Qingfeng had been on the run, constantly seeking battles between life and death, seemingly wasting a lot of cultivation time, but in fact, he only took thirteen years to ascend to Foundation Establishment.

The cultivation progress during the Foundation Establishment Stage was equally swift.

Fifteen years to enter the Condensed Liquid Realm.

Twenty years to enter the Nourishing Yuan Realm.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Twenty-four years to step into the Body Refining Realm.

In total, he shortened the time by nine years compared to the fifth life, and including the Postnatal Stage, it was eleven years.

Regrettably, less than five years after ascending to the Body Refining Realm, and just as he was about to arrive in the Heavenly Star State of Yuanwu Country, Lu Qingfeng, after slaying a Spirit Void Demon wreaking havoc everywhere, unexpectedly attracted the descent of an old demon at the Primordial Spirit Level.

With just its presence alone, it crushed Lu Qingfeng into pieces.

Even more, the old demon intended to capture Lu Qingfeng's Divine Soul to fuel a lamp, torturing him day and night. Unfortunately, as a player, when Lu Qingfeng died, unless he willingly chose otherwise, he would directly appear in the place devoid of death, waiting for resurrection or reincarnation.

Lu Qingfeng chose to resurrect.

And once again cursed the Hun Mountain Demon King.

...

"Who the hell is it!?"

In Zhouyun Mountain within Heavenly Star State, the Hun Mountain Demon King's complexion was haggard, a mouthful of reverse blood spat out, his voice filled with sorrow and anger.

Three times!

A total of three times!

The first time was forgone; after the second time, whenever he was about to completely refine the Evil Silk and eliminate the curse, a new one would descend from nowhere. Regrettably, he didn't have the knowledge to trace the origin of the spell, forced to endure it all, which was really stifling.

What was worse than being stifled, one curse he could remove with five or six decades of effort. A second curse took him more than a hundred years to remove. But with the third curse stacking, the power of the curse had reached an extremely deep level, even the Evil Silk had tightly wrapped deep within his Divine Soul.

To think of refining, to break the spell, unless the old demon at the Primordial Spirit Level personally took action, or unless he obtained some of the unique and unparalleled True Flames or True Water Spirit Liquid to cleanse and refine, otherwise on his own, he feared it would take hundreds of years to resolve.

"Damn!"

"Don't let this king find out who is causing this mischief!"

The Hun Mountain Demon King's face was pale, but his eyes were extremely fierce, obviously very angry.

On Zhouyun Mountain, thousands of big and small demons were all alarmed, casting glances towards the heart of the mountain. For over a hundred years, their king seldom left his residence, and his temper had become increasingly irritable.

The small demons all perked up, not daring to provoke the Hun Mountain Demon King's bad mood.

Somewhere in a cave dwelling on Zhouyun Mountain.

The Black Vein King transformed into his real body, a Black Vein Golden Butterfly lying on the ground, also heard the commotion from the Hun Mountain Demon King. He glanced in the direction of the noise, his expression contemplative, his eyes intelligent and spirited.

After flickering a few times, it finally returned to calm.

...

The eighth life.

"The path of cultivation is truly fraught with hardships and dangers. High-profile is easy to die, moderate-profile is easy to die, only low-profile is the king's way, yet you also can't guarantee you won't suffer an unwarranted disaster."

Lu Qingfeng, having died many times, drew from his experiences.

In the fifth life, he stayed low-profile for over a hundred years, only to be high-profile once in White Rock Mountain and got squashed to death by the Hun Mountain Demon King.

In the sixth life, wandering between the common world, slaying demons, punishing evil and putting down ghosts, he was ultimately pursued and killed by fellow cultivators and demons due to exposing his Divine Skills, ending up dead.

In the seventh life, Lu Qingfeng was a bit more low-profile, not going into cities, nor to the heartlands of the Immortal Sects, but simply roamed the borders of prefectures and states. It was not high-profile, nor as low-profile as staying in one place practicing Alchemy and Artifact Refining. He did live decades longer compared to the previous life, but in the end, he picked the wrong opponent, killed a blood descendant of a Primordial Spirit old demon, and met his end.

Comparing like this, in the first four lives, Lu Qingfeng mostly stayed in one place delving into Alchemy and Artifact Refining. Although he didn't get any opportunities or experiences, he at least lived to the end of his natural lifespan.

"Keeping to oneself, acting low-profile, one can live long. But the path of cultivation is about contending with heaven for fate, the way of great struggle. Without contention, it is to await death. If one is to contend, it depends on one's fate, character, and methods."

"Cultivation! To compete for a slim chance in the world, seeking transcendence. The road is obstructed and long, requiring searching both high and low."

After several lifetimes of reincarnations, Lu Qingfeng's understanding of the cultivation path became more thorough, and he felt a sense of great enlightenment.
