Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 138 - 129: The 9th Life: Changqing Realm! [30th Update!]
Lu Qingfeng consolidated the spirit stones and miscellaneous items from five storage bags into his own, then wielded the Dutian Demon Flames to destroy the storage bags.
He also destroyed the corpses of Sun Fang and the four demon cultivators.

Then he hurriedly left.
The combat had been intense, and the constant use of spells had drained him significantly. Lu Qingfeng needed to find a quiet place to peacefully recover his True Qi.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, two months had elapsed since Lu Qingfeng entered the Hundred Herbs Garden.
During the first half-month, Lu Qingfeng successively killed a Green-Backed Centipede of the Demon Clan, a Demon Sect cultivator, a Demon Clan cultivator, and then Sun Fang of the Red Rainbow Sect, as well as four Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Sen Yuan Demon Sect.
During the next one and a half months—
Lu Qingfeng encountered four more Demon Clan members, clashed, and killed them.
Two more Demon Sect cultivators, clashed, and killed.
He also found the remaining three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Red Rainbow Sect, was besieged, and directly fought back and killed them.
Later, he encountered cultivators from the Demon Extermination Castle and the Golden Wave Sect, but fortunately, neither faction targeted Lu Qingfeng. They went their separate ways without incident.
As for the Luoxia Sect.
Lu Qingfeng possessed the 'Daluo Cave Temple,' and if he were to join forces with them, he would inevitably be restricted. He sent a lark bird to show that he was safe and then continued to operate alone.
In these two months.
The number of Demon Clan members, demon cultivators, and Red Rainbow Sect cultivators that died at the hands of Lu Qingfeng totaled seventeen.
The Three Elements Demon Sect had originally sixteen people enter the Hundred Herbs Garden, yet more than one-third were killed by Lu Qingfeng, losing seven demon cultivators.
Similarly, of the sixteen members of the Sky Sun Six Veins of the Demon Clan, six were slain by Lu Qingfeng.
As for the Red Rainbow Sect, they were completely wiped out by Lu Qingfeng.
By killing seventeen cultivators, Lu Qingfeng obtained a total of 3,372 spirit stones and over a hundred various ranks of spiritual medicines. Among them, there were also many materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills.
He was indeed brimming with wealth.
...
Ni Chang Mountain.
This mountain is home to a spirit grass known as 'Ni Chang Grass.' Its other name is Demon Luring Grass, which has thirteen coiled, tubular leaves that unfurl one every hundred years.
This spirit grass cannot be used in alchemy or consumed directly. It emits a peculiar scent that attracts demon beasts below the sixth rank and promotes the breeding of demon beasts.
Lu Qingfeng sat cross-legged in a hidden spot, eyes closed, motionless.
In the blink of an eye, sixteen years in the game passed, and the ninth life quietly arrived.
...
Inside the Rebirth Pool, Lu Qingfeng stepped out to find himself alone.
"Could it be another pioneering task?"
When he first came to the Red Smoke Realm in his fourth life, Lu Qingfeng was the first player. Now, with no one around the Rebirth Pool, it's highly possible it's the same situation.
Without making too many guesses, Lu Qingfeng stepped out of the Rebirth Pool.
[Player discovers a new world—'Changqing Realm', reward Experience Value: 30000]
As soon as he stepped out of the Rebirth Pool, a system prompt flashed before his eyes.
"Indeed."
Lu Qingfeng had anticipated this and pondered, "Could it be that because of my numerous reincarnations, I've been given the duty of pioneering?"
Thinking to himself, Lu Qingfeng quite enjoyed this 'duty.'
With the experience value ready at hand, he could quickly increase his cultivation level to a sufficiently self-protective tier, saving years of arduous effort.
He clicked on the system prompt to check the detailed information of the 'Changqing Realm'—
[Realm Name: Changqing Realm]
[Introduction: Five thousand six hundred years ago, in Changqing Realm, an Evil Dragon wrought havoc, making the spirits of the realm its sustenance and cultivating an overwhelming Demon Technique. The Demon Flames were rampant, alarming the Heavenly Court.
Qin Heavenly Monarch of the Twenty-four Heavenly Lords of the Thunder Department was dispatched by the Nine Heavens Yinyuan Leisheng Puhua Heavenly Venerate, leading the Six-Eyed Lightning God, the Two Great General Gods of the Execution Department, along with Heavenly Thunder Shining Light General, Water Thunder Lightning General, General Sha, General of Fire Throwing, Thunderbolt Black General, and Thunderbolt Execution General — six Generals of the Thunder Department, commanding a force of one hundred thousand, to descend to the Lower Realm and slay the Evil Dragon.
One hundred thousand Thunder Department Heavenly Soldiers spread out, their lightning aura filling the realm, reducing the minions of the Evil Dragon to ashes. Led by Qin Heavenly Monarch, along with the Two Great General Gods and six Generals, they besieged the Evil Dragon, battling fiercely for ten days and nights until the Evil Dragon finally surrendered.
However, the great war left scorched earth; the Changqing Realm shattered and its status plummeted. For five thousand six hundred years, it was cut off from the heavens and earth. In recent years, the Dou Department decreed that the Star Power of the celestial bodies be tilted towards the Changqing Realm, leading to the resurrection of Spiritual Energy...]
…
"Changqing Realm."
"Cut off from heavens and earth."
Between heaven and earth, between mortals and Immortal Gods, a connection exists.
And the most crucial pathway for this connection is 'cultivation'. Through cultivation, mortals can become Immortal Gods, rise up from the mundane world, achieving the so-called 'Unity of Heaven and Man'.
Yet, the collapse of the Changqing Realm caused its status to plummet.
Cutting off the passage between heaven and earth.
Once the path of cultivation ceases to exist, the road to ascension becomes hopeless.
"In this realm, there are no cultivators!"
Lu Qingfeng appeared in a wilderness, took a few breaths, and indeed, the Spiritual Energy was absent all around, even lacking in comparison to the Earth Realm of the Upper Sun Country in reality.
"The great calamity of the Changqing Realm -- being cut off from heavens and earth for five thousand six hundred years."
Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but feel relieved.
Had the Changqing Realm been cut off from heavens and earth for another five thousand six hundred years, his two months would have been wasted in vain, and he would have to be reincarnated randomly before heading to another realm.
But fortunately, a few years ago, the Dou Department commanded the Celestial Cycle Stars to tilt their Star Power towards Changqing Realm, aiding its recovery to former glory.
A crack finally appeared between heaven and earth.
The mortals of Changqing Realm now have hope for cultivation, a chance for Ascension.
"The stars shine brightly, Spiritual Energy is resurrected."
"Even so, for Changqing Realm to return to its peak, it will take an endless span of years. As for the restoration of its status, who knows how long that will take."
Lu Qingfeng looked up at the sky, where, even during the day, he could see the stars flickering in and out of view. While moving, he operated three Cultivation Techniques: Luofu Sword Scripture, Twelve Heavenly Demon God Skill, Iron Refining Body, constantly consuming Experience Value, improving his cultivation level by leaps and bounds.
This was also because the restrictions of the world had been lifted; otherwise, even with Experience Value, Lu Qingfeng would not be able to improve his cultivation level.
At this moment, however, there were no concerns.
Having cycled through reincarnation nine times, and now in his ninth life, Lu Qingfeng was extremely familiar with the cultivation in the Postnatal Stage.
In his fourth life, sitting on thirty thousand Experience Value, it took Lu Qingfeng two months to reach the Sixth Layer of the True Qi Realm.
In this life, in just one month's time, Lu Qingfeng had all three Cultivation Techniques concurrently achieve the Sixth Layer of the True Qi Realm.
His power was now on par with his True Body in reality.
In other realms in the past, such as the first and second lives in the Heavenly Fox Realm, the third life in the Bingling Realm, and from the fourth to the eighth lives in the Red Smoke Realm, the cultivation level of the True Qi Realm was only akin to mortal ants, not worth mentioning.
But Changqing Realm was different.
"The limitations of Changqing Realm have just been lifted, the Spiritual Energy has only been recovering for a few years, and 'cultivators' previously could only train their skills or physical bodies to be strong, but they still did not transcend the mortal realm."
"Without the Fetal Breathing, one cannot produce True Qi. No matter how strong the techniques are, they are vain. There is also a limit to physical training."
"Without Spiritual Energy, one cannot even enter Foundation Establishment."
The system's prompt for Changqing Realm this time was quite clear, possibly because there are no cultivators with Primordial Spirit or Mahayana levels in Changqing Realm. Or perhaps it is related to the chaos in the Heavenly Mechanism due to the great changes in heaven and earth.
Lu Qingfeng did not delve into these details.
After taking a closer look, his eyes lit up.
"Five thousand six hundred years ago, Changqing Realm was destroyed in a great war. Traces of the Evil Dragon were everywhere, and Changqing Realm was tainted with sinful Demonic Qi, at the brink of plunging into the Demon Abyss. The gods of the Thunder Department used the Nine Heavens Thunder to refine and purify the shattered realm, reassembling the cleansed Changqing Realm."
