Yellow Court Daoist
Chapter 514 - 486: The Ten-Year Period Ends!

Just then——

But there were two explosive shouts in unison, "You demon dare to covet the Dragon Clan's Spiritual Treasure?!"

Tongling Great Saint's expression changed.

Feeling the Wind and Fire Bracelet sweeping in from behind with the power of wind and fire, accompanied by the flickering of white jade light, although he was within a stone's throw from the Dragon Transformation Pond, it instantly felt as distant as the ends of the earth.

Looking back.

It was none other than Shang River Ancestor and East Sea Ancestor who had arrived to attack together.

Blocking Tongling Great Saint's path, they transformed into their True Dragon bodies and with a fierce swoop of their claws, they reached for the Dragon Transformation Pond.

"Ha ha!"

"The emergence of the Spiritual Treasure, how can it lack the presence of us two brothers?!"

Their voices thundered, and there were two youths draped in white robes and black robes, each wielding a spear, making their entrance. As soon as they appeared, they moved to intercept Shang River Ancestor and East Sea Ancestor. Simultaneously, black and white colors revolved in the air, forming a Yin Yang Grinding in the void, exerting a tremendous force of attraction, aiming to suck away the Dragon Transformation Pond.

Lu Qingfeng glanced at the two youths and frowned slightly, guessing their origins.

"Beiyin Domain."

"Beiyin Great Saint."

"Beiyang Great Saint!"

These were remarkably the two Great Saints from the Jiao Demon Palace of the Beiyin and Beiyang regions, born of the same mother, representing yin and yang, and furthermore, thanks to the grand opportunity of merging the Beiyin Realm into Ancient Shang, they ascended to the Earth Immortal Realm together.

Their might shook the worlds, monopolizing the Beiyin Domain.

With the foundational strength of the Jiao dragons, their desire for the 'Dragon Transformation Pond' was no less than that of the Three Dragon Ancestors. It's likely they had been hiding nearby and only made their sudden move upon witnessing the achievement of the Spiritual Treasure.

"Even the Evil Flood Dragon dares to be rampant!"

Golden Light Ancestor Master, One Yuan Ancestor and Combat Great Saint saw this and advanced together, swiftly shattering the Yin Yang Grinding, throwing themselves into a chaotic battle.

Bai Changqing and Situ Zhan seized the opportunity.

With a mutual glance, they soared into motion, heading straight for the Dragon Transformation Pond.

"Scram!"

Lu Qingfeng let out an angry shout, lifting his hand to summon the 'Little Thousand Thunder Prison' from the sky. The Great Divine Power was formidable, and when unleashed by a Thunder True Immortal with the profound foundation of Lu Qingfeng, it was truly unimaginable, managing to slightly delay the two newly advanced Earth Immortals.

The chaotic battle erupted.

Earth Immortals displaying their might.

The energy surged wildly, with shockwaves that were more than enough to overturn rivers and seas. The ground was flipping over and shattering instantaneously, the waves of the Blood Sea roared tumultuously, as though rivers were being boiled and seas were being burned.

"Who dares to stop me?!"

Combat Heavenly King unleashed his True Fire.

With a leap, he jumped down, stepping on the Blood Sea, his hands seemingly grasping the lifeline of the Blood Sea——

"Ha!"

With a fierce upheaval, square miles of the Blood Sea were suddenly overturned, the blood waves surged fiercely, submerging the twelve Iron-Backed Centipedes along with the Blood Sea's divine separations.

For a full three breaths, there was no sign of them.

"Scram!"

Combat Heavenly King did not hesitate a bit. Seizing the opportunity, he threw a mighty punch that sent West Sea Ancestor and Tongling Great Saint flying together, then with a side kick, he sent East Sea Ancestor and Shang River Ancestor flying tens of thousands of miles. Stepping forward again, he grabbed the tails of Beiyin Great Saint and Beiyang Great Saint, transformed into their Jiao dragon forms, and with a fierce toss, threw them out of the universe.

A body four hundred and eighty zhang in size.

Standing unmatched before all.

In the midst of the tumultuous battle, he arrived in front of Lu Qingfeng. With his mouth open wide, he let out an endless roar, aiming to intimidate Lu Qingfeng on the spot.

Shielded by Merit Bright Light, even the fiercely wild Combat Heavenly King did not dare to strike to kill.

"Karmic Fire!"

Lu Qingfeng saw that things were not boding well and did not dare to hold back. He formed a Seal Technique with his hands, and from in front of his chest, a fiery red lotus flower slowly began to rise. This lotus started tiny, just the size of a little finger, but instantly grew to the size of a millet. In a flash, it left his hand and disappeared into the mouth of the Combat Heavenly King with a wisp of smoke.

Hum!

Humming sound!

Lu Qingfeng's ears buzzed as he was frozen on the spot by a shout from the Combat Heavenly King. But as the Combat Heavenly King opened his mouth, he swallowed a blossom of Karmic Fire.

Boom!

The Karmic Fire burned fiercely and rampaged with a roar.

That face, akin to Xuan Light, was instantly turned into a skull by the Karmic Fire, a truly terrifying sight.

"Evildoer!"

"Evildoer!"

The Combat Heavenly King was in extreme pain, as the Karmic Fire was unquenchable by water, and even his mana could not extinguish it. It even reached and clung to his Divine Soul, incinerating all his sins with a grand roar.

In just an instant.

The Combat Heavenly King was entirely enveloped by the Karmic Fire.

Not daring to move, he quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, his form changing into a thirty-feet giant, vigilantly guarding his spiritual platform against any speck of dust.

Intently dealing with the raging Karmic Fire.

All around.

The Golden Light Ancestor Master, One Yuan Ancestor, Combat Great Saint, and others saw the plight of the Combat Heavenly King and were shocked, "This lad actually has Karmic Fire in his possession?!"

All Earth Immortals looked towards Lu Qingfeng.

Outside of the heavens.

The Three Dragon Ancestors, the Yin Yang Great Saint, and the Tongling Great Saint, who had been punched away, kicked off, and thrown out by the Combat Heavenly King, returned in a flash. Seeing the state of the Combat Heavenly King, they too, were taken aback.

Their eyes flickered.

They were tempted to rush forward and snatch the Dragon Transformation Pond, but they were also worried about the Karmic Fire in Lu Qingfeng's possession.

This worry dispersed in the next moment.

Because.

Lu Qingfeng stood in front of the Dragon Transformation Pond, regaining his composure from the angry outcries of the Combat Heavenly King. With an outstretched hand, atop his palm bloomed a Karmic Fire Red Lotus, resplendent and dazzling. The fiery red swayed, striking fear into the heart.

"He actually still has Karmic Fire in hand!"

The surrounding Earth Immortals were apprehensive, not daring to make a move.

Lu Qingfeng looked at the Earth Immortals from all sides and said in a deep voice, "I am taking the Dragon Clan's supreme treasure to create a Spiritual Treasure, solely to help Le'er ascend to True Immortal status. Once Le'er attains True Immortal status, I will definitely offer up the Dragon Transformation Pond and not interfere. I ask that you all wait for some time and not press too hard!"

Lu Qingfeng said this.

He looked behind him.

The Spiritual Treasure concealed the inside, making it impossible to see the situation, but he presumed that Ao Le must be using the Spiritual Treasure for cultivation. Counting the time, he had spent twenty years with Ao Le teaching Lu Xiao and Lu Yao, and another seventy-three years in the Blood Sea. Ao Le, who originally had only one hundred and four years of life left, now had only eleven years left.

"Ten years from now."

"If Le'er cannot become a True Immortal, then I will use the 'Buddhist Sect's Little Wheel Three Ride Marvelous Forms Transformation Birth Method' to help her breakthrough."

Lu Qingfeng looked at the Earth Immortals, knowing that the threat of the Karmic Fire meant that these Immortals would not easily strike.

Securing ten years should not be difficult.

Indeed.

All the Earth Immortals looked at the Karmic Fire in Lu Qingfeng's hand, and although the expressions of the Golden Light Ancestor Master and One Yuan Ancestor turned grim, they were the first to sit cross-legged in the Void. Bai Changqing and Situ Zhan, seeing this, also sat down, one side keeping an eye on Lu Qingfeng and the Dragon Transformation Pond, the other side calmly recuperating.

The Combat Great Saint looked at his teacher suffering the burning of the Karmic Fire, almost turned into a painful skeletal figure.

He wanted to seek revenge but was also wary of the Karmic Fire.

He resentfully went to his teacher's side to act as a protector but did not make a move.

Beiyin Great Saint and Beiyang Great Saint's eyes flickered as they each stood to one side, surprisingly behaving themselves.

Tongling Great Saint cackled with laughter and grinned at Lu Qingfeng, saying, "Guang Yuan my friend is most affectionate and righteous, I admire that. We can surely wait for a little while, but I wonder if I could first have the 'Red Desire Bag' returned?"

Lu Qingfeng looked up at the smiling Tongling Great Saint.

He reached out and captured something from the Blood Sea, and a blood-red pouch flew out, landing in the Great Saint's hands.

"Thank you."

Having recovered the treasure, Tongling Great Saint was overjoyed and walked to the side, turning into a faint shadow and staying still.

Seeing Tongling Great Saint shamelessly ask for the 'Red Desire Bag', both One Yuan Ancestor and Combat Great Saint wanted to do the same but were too proud to beg. With a silent snort, they didn't say a word. Find this сhаptеr's sоurсе оn МVLЕМРYR.

Since the two did not ask for it, Lu Qingfeng was happy to pretend to not understand and did not return it.

He only turned his gaze towards the Three Dragon Ancestors.

Now.

Only these three had yet to declare their stance.

The trio exchanged glances, with elusive light flaring in their eyes. Among the Earth Immortals gathered here, they, along with the two Great Saints from Jiao Demon Palace, were the ones most desperate to possess the Spiritual Treasure.

Worried that any delay could lead to unexpected changes and eager to snatch the treasure, they knew that this was not the time for action. Otherwise, they would not only have to confront the Earth Immortals from Heavenly Court like the Combat Heavenly King but also face Demon Immortals like Beiyin Great Saint, Beiyang Great Saint, and Tongling Great Saint.

More importantly.

If a fight broke out now, Lu Qingfeng, who wielded the Karmic Fire, would be a significant threat.

"Fortunately, a Spiritual Treasure has been born, and it shall no longer split."

"Let's wait for another ten years!"

Without a word, the three dragons each settled into a seated position.

...

"Phew!"

Seeing this, Lu Qingfeng finally relaxed.

He didn't dare to let down his vigilance. On the one hand, guarding against others, and on the other, focusing on the Spiritual Treasure 'Dragon Transformation Pond.'

A Spiritual Treasure is no ordinary object, and its mystical prowess far surpasses that of an Immortal Artifact.

Lu Qingfeng, observing from the outside, could feel numerous mysteries.

Ao Le, who was inside, must be able to comprehend even more through his Cultivation.

"Ten years."

"True Immortal."

Lu Qingfeng stared at the Dragon Transformation Pond, ignoring the covert overtures and alliances from the Three Dragon Ancestors, the two Great Saints from Jiao Demon Palace, and even from the Golden Light Ancestor. His mind stilled, he continued to meditate on the 'Buddhist Sect's Little Wheel's Three Ride Marvelous Forms Transformation Birth Method'.

Time slowly passed by.

In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

...

That day.

Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes, fixating on the lingering Spiritual Treasure in the Blood Sea, the 'Dragon Transformation Pond.' The aura inside and outside the Spiritual Treasure was divulging, yet Ao Le within had yet to emerge. Lu Qingfeng sensed Ao Le's aura, his eyebrows immediately furrowing—

"Sigh!"

He sighed deeply.

A thought emerged and entered the 'Dragon Transformation Pond.'

Inside the Dragon Transformation Pond, within a space of Chaos where there was neither heaven nor earth, faint roars of a Heavenly Dragon could be heard.

Lu Qingfeng's thought entered and transformed into a Divine Separation. Stepping forth, he followed a familiar aura to a place.

There, amidst the haze, lay an Azure Dragon stretching for dozens of miles, seemingly in slumber.

Its breath occasionally smooth and at times vibrant, covered with layers of Mysterious aura.

Clearly, it was in the midst of comprehending the marvels of the Dao, as its aura continuously strengthened.

But, unfortunately.

"Ten years are too short."

"Ultimately unable to perceive the profound depths of the Dao, unable to step into the True Immortal Realm."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

Given enough time, perhaps just a hundred more years, there was a great possibility for Ao Le to break through. But life is full of the unexpected, and between timing and fate, words fail to express.

Luckily.

Lu Qingfeng still had one last resort.

He took a few steps forward.

"Le'er."

Ao Le awoke from her deep retreat, her brilliance transforming into a human shape.

Feeling herself—

At the peak of Primordial Spirit Unification.

"I didn't break through."

Her face momentarily fell, but all traces of disappointment were quickly hidden as she smiled playfully at Lu Qingfeng, "Le'er is dull; despite Cultivating with the Spiritual Treasure these years, I've failed to break through, my husband must not disdain me."

She spoke.

Approaching Lu Qingfeng, her visage lifted slightly, a pair of clear eyes gazing at his face.

Without regret or remorse in her eyes,

All Lu Qingfeng saw was full of affection and admiration. His face bloomed with a smile that sweetened his heart, dispelling much of the heaviness within.

"In just a mere ten years, you've advanced from the mid-stage of Unification to the peak."

"There aren't many in the world who can progress faster than you, Le'er."

Lu Qingfeng held Ao Le's hand, also smiling, "Just a bit more Fire Control, perhaps years or even days, breakthrough is always possible."

Primordial Spirit advancing to Mahayana.

One depends on accumulation.

A profound foundation serves as the pivot for Mahayana.

Without sufficient accumulation or if the foundation is unstable, various issues may prevent the Breakthrough.

Secondly, it relies on enlightenment.

Mostly depending on the chance. Should the opportunity arise, a flash of spirit light might be enough to Breakthrough Realm into the True Immortal.

Forcing it may backfire.

"Le'er thinks so too."

Ao Le nodded vigorously, wholeheartedly agreeing.

Then gazed at Lu Qingfeng, playfully saying, "These few years my husband should not enter retreat, accompany Le'er and travel about more."

"Okay."

Lu Qingfeng suppressed the heaviness in his heart, responding with a smile and nodding.

...
