Lu Qingfeng paid no heed to the thoughts of the two individuals.

These two.

One is a Heavenly Court True God.

The other, a disciple of the Heavenly Daoist.

Both, in essence, are deeply connected to him.

The former is a fellow Heavenly Court God like himself, while the latter, being a member of the Heavenly Daoist order, traces back to his origins from Black Wind Mountain. Moreover, his elder brother, Yellow Wind Great Saint, has currently joined the Heavenly Daoist, though Lu Qingfeng is unsure of how he is related to the Six-Eyed Venerable.

However.

This is all merely on the surface.

When looked into deeper—

He is Tianpeng, who, to outsiders, appears to be a direct protege personally promoted by the Jade Emperor. However, Yin Jiao is a true inheritor of the Chan Sect. Despite both being Heavenly Court Gods, they are not of the same path.

The Six-Eyed Venerable needs no further mention.

Regardless of any connection between Lu Qingfeng and Black Wind Mountain, or whether his brother joined it, he remains an outsider.

There is no association to speak of with the Six Eyes.

The Six-Eyed Venerable hasn't yet realized Lu Qingfeng is following him, so there has been no confrontation.

But Yin Jiao gives Lu Qingfeng a displeased look and questions: "Tianpeng True Monarch, instead of organizing the navy in Tianhe, why engage in such petty acts here? What brings you to this place?!"

The so-called 'petty acts' naturally refer to his infiltration into the Barbarian God Realm.

The Six-Eyed Venerable's eyes flicker but he remains silent.

However, he looks towards Lu Qingfeng, expecting an explanation.

Lu Qingfeng, unafraid of Yin Jiao, laughs heartily: "Originally, I had no intention to remain here. However, as you two were fighting, blocking Tianhe and intercepting my battleship, it brought about this occurrence."

Saying so,

Lu Qingfeng points towards the void behind him.

Whoosh!

The sound of water roared, waves unending.

With the Dao ability of the Six-Eyed Venerable and Yin Jiao, they could naturally see the obstructed Tianhe and the inevitably anchored Tianhe Battleship.

"So you say."

"Is it Yin's fault then?"

Yin Jiao glances at the stalled battleship, unconcerned, and retorts with a cold snort towards Lu Qingfeng.

"Not at all, not at all!"

Lu Qingfeng shakes his head, speaking aloud: "I dare not blame Tai Sui Yin. Instead, I must thank Tai Sui. If not for the blockage in Tianhe, I might've struggled to find the place of my past cultivation. I'm afraid the disciples within would have suffered much hardship."

His words held truth.

Yin Jiao and the Six-Eyed Venerable, contesting for the Barbarian God Realm in this vast void, had laid down heavy blockades.

Moreover, there were also significant restrictions within the Barbarian God Realm itself, which made it difficult—even for Lu Qingfeng—to calculate the exact location of this realm, consuming much effort and time.

This accidental stumble had actually saved him a lot of time.

And this realm, being abundant in Earth Immortals and even containing Heavenly Immortal level beings, compared to the newly established Guangyuan Realm, was broader and had more potential.

True Body entering therein, preaching and cultivating—the realm of Heavenly Immortals was already in sight.

Lu Qingfeng was too pleased to even think of casting blame.

"Former cultivation?"

The Six-Eyed Venerable looks at Lu Qingfeng, puzzled: "Did True Monarch actually cultivate in the Barbarian God Realm before?"

In the Barbarian God Realm,

which had been in a barbaric state and ruled by Barbarian Gods until twelve hundred thirty thousand years ago when it was discovered by him and Yin Jiao.

How could Tianpeng True Monarch, whose abilities and combat power were not inferior to his, originate from the Barbarian God Realm?!

Yin Jiao is also somewhat astonished.

Lu Qingfeng smiles, saying: "Twelve hundred ninety thousand years ago, the Poison Dragon Venerable took action and sent me into the Barbarian God Realm. From there, I unified the Material Realm, esteemed through the ages. I had no sooner ascended when I attracted the attention of countless Barbarian Gods and had to self-detonate and reincarnate, only returning to Cultivation recently."

At this current level,

Lu Qingfeng no longer feared others knowing his past.

This involvement in the Barbarian God Realm needed a pretext, and Lu Qingfeng did not shy away from revealing it.

"So it was you!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Jiao and the Six-Eyed Venerable both exclaim simultaneously, recalling the past.

Lu Qingfeng back then in the Material Realm of the Barbarian God Realm, was invincible, and the domineering Guangyuan Immortal Sect made it exceedingly difficult for disciples sent by the Six-Eyed Venerable and Yin Jiao to make any progress, with many Immortal Artifacts seized in the process; it was indeed tough times.

For over one hundred thousand years,

they were only just able to stabilize their foothold in the Material Realm and rebuild a foundation.

Though the rise and fall of Dao lineage in the Barbarian God Realm was like a game for them, merely a competition for pride, these Golden Immortals, indestructible and immortal, indeed competed for this very pride, for face!

To have the situation stirred up by a mere Golden Core mortal cultivator left a deep impression on Yin Jiao and the Six-Eyed Venerable.

Their looks towards Lu Qingfeng were increasingly complex.

Not just because of the Barbarian God Realm, they were even more shocked by another revelation—

"Merely a One Yuan meeting, reincarnated and re-cultivated, and already reached the Golden Immortal's Dao ability?!"

…

Outside the Barbarian God Realm.

Lu Qingfeng faces off against Yin Jiao and the Six-Eyed Venerable.

Inside the Barbarian God Realm.

The Earth Immortal True Body of Lu Qingfeng secretly utilizes Divine Skills, concealing his aura and cultivation, entering the realm and settling in a spot.

Spiritual Energy vibrates, Immortal Energy abundant.

Within the dark Abyss, thirty-six layers are stacked.

On the highest layer,

a mountain resembles a lotus, untouched by the mud, standing alone in the world, exuding the air of Immortals.

Looking around,

somewhat familiar.

"Three peaks stand as though ready to crumble, the green cliffs and red valleys open high. The White Emperor runs Gold Essence Yuan Qi, with stones as lotuses and clouds as platforms."

Lu Qingfeng sees the location of the three peaks and laughs spontaneously: "So, it turns out to be 'Abyss Mountain'."

It was the very sect that he had established with punches and kicks.

It also marked the starting point where Guangyuan Immortal Sect dominated the Material Realm.

Seeing it now, he feels a touch of fondness.

Not rushing to release his Divine Skills.

Not sensed by the Heavenly Mechanism, Lu Qingfeng looks towards Abyss Mountain.

On its northern peak, cliffs hanging precipitously on all sides, its crest adorned with scenic clouds and connected deep into the earth's veins, it stands majestically alone, resembling Cloud Platform, named 'Cloud Platform Peak.'

Atop Cloud Platform, rests an extraordinary stone resembling a lotus.

Bathed in geomancy and sunlight, containing a trace of spiritual essence. Seated upon it, observing the sea of clouds for thousands of miles while cultivating—the perfect spot for profound cultivation!

Presently,

on this lotus platform, a Daoist sits cross-legged.

Inhaling and exhaling Spiritual Energy.

With Sword Intent hidden in his heart and Mana enveloping his body transforming into Sword Qi, interpreting the mysteries of the Sword Dao.

Lu Qingfeng glanced over.

He could even see that within the Daoist's Dantian, a Luofu Heart Lamp flickered, ceaselessly refining pure mana to aid in cultivation. Between his knees, a copper bell continuously refined by mana.

"Luofu Heart Lamp."

"Luofu Sword Scripture."

"Soul Losing Bell."

Lu Qingfeng smiled.

The Cultivation Technique was what he had imparted, the Immortal Artifact was what he had left behind, this Daoist must also be one of his later generation disciples.

He stepped forward, arriving at this Cloud Platform.

The Array he had originally laid out in Zhenyuan Mountain, as well as the Arrays continually fortified and blessed by his later generation disciples, could not stop him at all.

"Hmm?"

Zong Yangzi was cultivating and suddenly sensed something amiss.

He opened his eyes.

"You!"

He was almost scared out of his wits.

He saw a Daoist in green robes, who at some unknown time had arrived, and whose origins were unknown, looking at him with a beaming smile and a benevolent expression that sent chills down to one's bones and scared him nearly senseless with wildly coursing mana.

In an attempt to embolden himself, Zong Yangzi shouted, "Who are you, daring to intrude into Guangyuan Immortal Sect?!"

He was about to explode in anger.

But then he realized that his mana, for some unknown reason, had already been frozen, sparing him the peril of his mana running wild. But at the same time, he was unable to move his mana, display his Divine Skills, or summon his Sect Suppressing Immortal Artifact.

He was utterly helpless.

He could only let himself be slaughtered.

"It's over!"

A chill swept through Zong Yangzi's heart.

Seeing how scared this many-generations-removed disciple was, Lu Qingfeng's smile grew even warmer. He gently said, "Don't be alarmed, I just want to ask you a few questions and then I'll leave."

"Senior, please ask."

"Younger generation will certainly answer everything to the best of my knowledge."

Zong Yangzi, as the Sect Leader of Guangyuan Immortal Sect in the Material Realm, had a cultivation and Divine Skills that were considered top-notch across the vast Material Realm.

He also held the 'Soul Losing Bell', a Sect Suppressing Immortal Artifact, making him almost unmatched.

Yet still, he was effortlessly suppressed, without any ability to resist, just how could he not realize the mightiness of the Daoist before him?

Daring not to act rashly.

"He sure is clever."

Lu Qingfeng chuckled and asked, "What is your name?"

"Zong Yangzi."

Zong Yangzi, well-known in the Material Realm, worried that the Daoist was testing him, thus didn't dare to deceive.

He answered truthfully.

"The Way of Virtue, profound and serene, forever guards the Supreme Purity. From one yang returns the root, uniting the teachings, ever bright and clear. To utmost reason of the sect, the noble succession flourishes."

Lu Qingfeng still remembered the 'Hundred Character Generation' he had set in the Barbarian God Realm.

Initially, the disciples he accepted were all given the generation name 'Xuan.'

By the time he reincarnated and left.

It had already moved to the generations of 'Qing' and 'One.'

This Zong Yangzi, being of the 'Zong' generation, likely meant it had cycled all the way through again.

"Time is merciless."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head, then asked Zong Yangzi, "What is the current status of Guangyuan Immortal Sect in the Material Realm?"

"What status?"

Zong Yangzi found it odd but still honestly replied, "Since Ancestor Master Guang Yuan founded the Immortal Sect, Guangyuan Immortal Sect has always been the paramount ruler of the Material Realm. For over a hundred thousand years, even though Evil Gods and other emerging Immortal Dao forces have strained, they have never been able to shake the foundation of Guangyuan Immortal Sect. Most of the Material Realm is still under our control."

Zong Yangzi wasn't boasting.

With the solid foundation laid by 'Ancestor Guang Yuan,' eradicating the lineages of Yin Jiao and the Six-Eyed Venerable, Reincarnated True Immortals killed off the enemy and drove them from the Material Realm. Additionally, the 'God Slaying Order' demoted all gods of the Barbarian God Realm to 'Evil Gods.'

This stirred a storm of blood.

Wiping out all the foundational beliefs of countless Evil Gods in the Material Realm.

Guangyuan Immortal Sect revered above all.

Given this.

With limited intervention from the gods of the Heavenly Realm, and with Six-Eyed Venerable and Yin Tai Sui unable to continually reincarnate disciples into the Barbarian God Realm.

It truly wasn't difficult for Guangyuan Immortal Sect to maintain dominance for over a hundred thousand years.

Now the situation.

Still aligns with Lu Qingfeng's expectations.

With a clear understanding, Lu Qingfeng finally asked, "How many True Immortals and Earth Immortals does Guangyuan Immortal Sect currently have in the Heavenly Realm?"

He had been away from the Barbarian God Realm for 125,000 years.

Originally, he stayed in the Barbarian God Realm for four thousand years.

Roughly calculating.

The nine direct disciples and twenty-four registered disciples he initially took in, if they hadn't achieved True Immortal, would have long fallen into the cycle of reincarnation. Even if they had achieved True Immortal, they likely would have reached their end.

Only those who had become Earth Immortal.

Could hope to live through a Yuan Hui.

"Why is he asking these?!"

"Could it be—"

Zong Yangzi speculated but shook his head, "The Material Realm is separated from the Heavenly Realm, the younger generation also doesn't know how many Immortal Masters there are, but even in the Heavenly Realm, Guangyuan Immortal Sect is still a top sect, and even the gods of Barbarian Realm dare not underestimate us."

"Still quite alert."

Lu Qingfeng praised, but didn't engage much with this junior. A hint of mystical light burst from his eyes as he asked again, instantly gaining the answer.

"Still, asking in this way is more straightforward and clear."

Lu Qingfeng finished questioning.

Zong Yangzi was utterly oblivious to what had happened.

He frowned slightly.

Looking at the Daoist in front of him.

He saw the Daoist point a finger towards his forehead, startling him so much his hair stood on end, but he couldn't avoid it, and in his panic, he heard the Daoist's voice, "Since we've met, I'll grant you this junior a great fortune."

As the words fell.

Zong Yangzi felt a tremor in his heart and mind simultaneously, the profound mysteries of the sword, one of the four main secret scriptures of Guangyuan Immortal Sect, 'Luofu Sword Scripture', unfolded like the spring breeze and rain, myriad mysteries surged into his mind.

In an instant.

Like sudden enlightenment, like ascension.

He was completely immersed.

Not knowing how much time had passed.

When Zong Yangzi regained his senses, his heart wavered momentarily, but he was soon startled by the sudden surge in his Dao ability—

"Heart Lamp Method."

"Primordial Spirit Realm?!"
