The Banished Sword Immortal’s complexion changed slightly, and he swung his sword to strike the Ancient Thunder Dragon.
The Sword Qi severed the Ancient Thunder Dragon.
However, the Ancient Thunder Dragon’s Primordial Spirit was merely a spiritual entity, and even when slashed in half by Sword Qi, the remaining half of its tail still struck the Banished Sword Immortal.
The Banished Sword Immortal, like a meteorite, fell from the sky and crashed heavily onto the earth.
Boom!
It kicked up a hundred zhang of dust and sand.
“The Demon Race Primordial Spirits raiding formation is indeed quite good.”
Lu Changsheng discovered that the Ancient Thunder Dragon’s Primordial Spirit would voluntarily attack the opponent even without his command, and could even use the Ancient Thunder Dragon’s divine skills, which continuously surprised him.
“Perhaps if the Ancient Thunder Dragon’s Primordial Spirit grows stronger, it might even attract the Great Dao Gold Thunder from the void.”
Lu Changsheng knew that even among thunders, there were distinctions, and above the Chaos Divine Thunder stood the Great Dao Gold Thunder.
Legends said that the Ancient Thunder Dragon could command the Great Dao Gold Thunder.
Under the torment of Lu Changsheng and the Ancient Thunder Dragon, the system-simulated Banished Sword Immortal ultimately could only die in bitterness and, after a bitter struggle, was destroyed by both Lu Changsheng and the Ancient Thunder Dragon’s Primordial Spirit.
“This haul is a blood profit indeed.”
Lu Changsheng asked for the Phoenix Soul Shard, but in reality, he obtained the Ancient Thunder Dragon’s Primordial Spirit. If the elders of the Treasure Pavilion knew that Lu Changsheng had acquired such a treasure, they would surely be stunned.
The Ancient Thunder Dragon’s Primordial Spirit, this treasure, was comparable to the sect-defending level treasures of the Tai Hua Holy Land.
Lu Changsheng continued to summon his disciple.
This time, Lu Changsheng summoned his disciple Chen Yi and gave him a power-infusing initiation.
[Ding, you have transferred 1.5 million Heavenly Cultivation to your disciple Chen Yi, who actually received 300,000 Heavenly Cultivation. You have received an eighty-fold return reward for teaching: 24 million Heavenly Cultivation.]
The system returned 24 million Heavenly Cultivation, part of which was devoured by the Earth Scripture and the Nameless Ancient Cauldron, and Lu Changsheng also directed part of the True Qi to feed the Ancient Thunder Dragon’s Primordial Spirit.
The Ancient Thunder Dragon’s Primordial Spirit devoured 2 million Heavenly Cultivation and grew larger in size.
A first-turn Ancient Thunder Dragon’s Primordial Spirit, in its true Demon Race form, spans ten thousand zhang.
A second-turn Ancient Thunder Dragon’s Primordial Spirit, in its true Demon Race form, spans twenty thousand zhang.
And so on.
The Ancient Thunder Dragon’s Primordial Spirit still needed to be nurtured gradually, which aligned perfectly with Lu Changsheng’s cultivation progress.
Thus, five years passed.
Lu Changsheng set out, preparing to head to Luoxian Valley to resolve a calamity for his eldest disciple, Lin Qingzhi.
“Big Senior Brother, are you well-prepared?”
“Let’s go.”
Li Changye took a deep breath.
He had stayed as a guest in the Tai Hua Holy Land for the past five years so that he could find his disciple Xiao Xiangdao five years later.
“If my disciple has indeed entered the Demonic Dao, I must take action and clean up the sect.”
Li Changye’s expression was stern.
He set off for Luoxian Valley together with Lu Changsheng and Lu Qinglian.
Luoxian Valley, there was a branch hall of the Green Duckweed Sword Sect.
The Green Duckweed Sword Sect was a powerful sect within a billion li radius, second in scale only to the Holy Land.

Luoxian Valley was rich in the fifteenth-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure “Fire Spirit Blood Ganoderma,” which thus was very important to the Green Duckweed Sword Sect.
Lin Qingzhi led a team of Green Duckweed Sword Sect disciples to patrol the various branch halls of the sect.
“This place was originally called Lingzhi Valley. It is said that in ancient times, human great experts and Immortal Emperors banded together here to hunt down a Fire Qilin. Dozens of Immortal Emperors fell, hence the valley was renamed Luoxian Valley. The Fire Qilin was eventually slain by the human great experts. The blood of the Fire Qilin spilled over the valley. The Ganoderma here absorbed the blood essence of the Fire Qilin, underwent a transformation, and became the special Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure ‘Fire Spirit Blood Ganoderma.’
“Fire Spirit Blood Ganoderma can strengthen one’s blood vitality, used for Body Tempering, and even allows the weak to undergo Rebirth. It’s truly miraculous.”
The Hall Master of the Luoxian Valley branch introduced the history of Luoxian Valley to Lin Qingzhi and others who had come to patrol.
To monopolize the Fire Spirit Blood Ganoderma of this place, the Green Duckweed Sword Sect dispatched a Quasi-Emperor realm Branch Hall Master to oversee it, and every ten thousand years, the branch hall was required to hand over the harvested Fire Spirit Blood Ganoderma to the Green Duckweed Sword Sect.
After listening, Lin Qingzhi said, “The world is not very peaceful these days. Although the Blood Sea Palace has disappeared for thousands of years, we still cannot be negligent. If Luoxian Valley comes under attack, you must find a way to keep yourselves safe and inform the sect.”
The Branch Hall Master laughed out loud, “Hahaha, I, Husan, have roamed the Immortal Realm for a million years, braving great storms, with thousands of Demon Chiefs dying under my palm. If the Blood Sea Palace dares to attack Luoxian Valley, I will ensure they are utterly defeated!”
Lin Qingzhi frowned.
His senior brother, Xiao Xiangdao, had defected to the Blood Sea Palace and received the inheritance of an Ancient Great Demon, reaching the peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm ten thousand years ago.
The Blood Sea Palace slaughtered living beings and cultivated Demonic Cultivation Skills, improving their skills at a rapid pace, advancing a thousand miles in a single day.
Now, ten thousand years have passed, and it was uncertain whether Xiao Xiangdao had already stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
Moreover, no one knew the true strength of the Blood Sea Palace. What was known was that behind them stood powerful backers from the Demon Realm, gathering a large number of Demon Chiefs and Heretic Cultivators from the Immortal Realm.
The Branch Hall Master of Luoxian Valley was a Quasi-Emperor, which was a respectable strength in the Green Duckweed Sword Sect, but if the Demon Chiefs of the Blood Sea Palace attacked Luoxian Valley, then even a Quasi-Emperor would not be able to hold them back.
Lin Qingzhi, with his disciples, patrolled the valley. Each Fire Spirit Blood Ganoderma was carefully tended by a dedicated disciple, and once mature, it was harvested and sent to the Green Duckweed Sword Sect.
A single Fire Spirit Blood Ganoderma was a fifteenth-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, enough to bankrupt an Earth Immortal.
Branch Hall Master Husan pointed at the Ganoderma fields in the valley, “On average, every ten thousand years, Luoxian Valley can produce eight hundred Fire Spirit Blood Ganoderma.”
Lin Qingzhi was secretly astonished.
No wonder the Green Duckweed Sword Sect valued Luoxian Valley so highly, having a Quasi-Emperor Elder garrisoned here, capable of producing eight hundred Fire Spirit Blood Ganoderma in ten thousand years was a substantial income for the sect.
Suddenly, demonic clouds obscured the sky above Luoxian Valley, monstrous demonic clouds rolling in like dragons, darkening the heavens and the earth.
Amidst the demonic clouds, there was also a pungent smell of blood.
The disciples of Luoxian Valley from the Green Duckweed Sword Sect looked to the skies in unison, seeing the demonic Qi overwhelming and the chilling wind making one’s flesh creep.
Lin Qingzhi’s expression was grave, “It’s the people from the Blood Sea Palace.”
“Damn it, they actually came…”
Husan’s forehead was covered with sweat, drenched from head to back.
He had just been boasting a little while ago, and to his surprise, the Demon Chiefs from the Blood Sea Palace had truly come.
Within the demonic Qi, hundreds of figures appeared, each emanating a bloody aura that was repulsive.
The one leading them was an elder carrying a giant sword, his aged face marred by a terrifying sword scar.
The Giant Sword Elder held a Blood Bead in his hand, sealing off Luoxian Valley with the Blood Realm.
Another person was Lin Qingzhi’s acquaintance, Xiao Xiangdao.
“Lin, my junior brother, we meet again.”
Xiao Xiangdao was also surprised to see Lin Qingzhi.
This time, his target was not Lin Qingzhi. However, since they had run into each other, Xiao Xiangdao would not show any mercy.
“Xiao Xiangdao, if you don’t abandon darkness for light soon and betray our uncle master’s teachings, you will eventually meet disaster.”
Lin Qingzhi scanned Xiao Xiangdao’s team; they had two Quasi-Emperor Realm experts, while their side only had Husan.
The situation was extremely unfavorable for them.
If they were not careful, all the disciples from Green Duckweed Sword Sect in Luoxian Valley would die.
“Only the weak believe in fate. I, Xiao Xiangdao, pursue immortality and will not believe in any fate. Lin Qingzhi, the grievances between us will be settled today. I intend to remove the inner demons and step into the Immortal Emperor Realm!”
Xiao Xiangdao’s demonic Qi skyrocketed, covering the sky and sun, like an unparalleled Great Demon.
The Giant Sword Elder said coldly, “Xiao Xiangdao, don’t forget that we’ve come for the Qilin Blood this time. If we anger the Green Duckweed Sword Sect and they clear out our nearby strongholds, the Blood Sea Palace’s plan to lie low will fail utterly.”
Xiao Xiangdao snorted, “I’m well aware of what I’m doing. You don’t need to teach me.”
The Giant Sword Elder’s face darkened, his expression displeased.
However, since Xiao Xiangdao’s status in the Blood Sea Palace was higher than that of the Giant Sword Elder, there was not much he could say. He simply used the Blood Bead to collect the Fire Qilin blood from within Luoxian Valley.
“I’ll cover our rear with Hall Master Husan; you try to escape back to the sect,” Lin Qingzhi silently transmitted to the disciples of the Green Duckweed Sword Sect and then drew his Immortal Sword to confront Xiao Xiangdao.
“The gap between us is as vast as the distance between the heavens and the mud.”
Xiao Xiangdao’s demonic Qi was boundless, his cultivation having already surpassed Lin Qingzhi.
Elsewhere, Lu Changsheng, Li Changye, and Lu Qinglian were on their way.
