"Lù qīng hé, I think Tiān gē jiàn, you'd better give it to us for safekeeping, otherwise, be careful that something goes wrong..."
Lǐ wèn-dào looked at the sword in Lù qīng hé's hand with a hint of greed in his eyes.
"Alright, I'll give it to you."
Lù qīng hé calmly handed over the sword.
"Uh..."
However, this scene made Lǐ wèn-dào's next words stuck in his throat.
Give it to him!?
He dares to ask for it?
This is the sword bestowed upon Lù qīng hé by Elder Kōngmíng. Although it was not willingly given, if he had just given it to him, and then have it taken away by Lǐ wèn-dào, where would that leave Elder Kōngmíng!?
For a moment, Lǐ wèn-dào was rendered speechless with astonishment.
"Humph, no need to be kind, Tiān gē jiàn, I will eventually take it back with my true strength."
Lǐ wèn-dào shook his hand heavily and left discontentedly.
"That's strange, he actually didn't want it."
Lù qīng hé shrugged.
"I really don't know what makes you so arrogant, just a pseudo-genius."
Dīng hǎi looked at Lù qīng hé with some indifference.
"I don't know what you guys are doing here."
Lěi jiàn couldn't bear to see Lù qīng hé's appearance, and coldly snorted, "Want to show off your arrogance? Do North Hán Yuè, Sìri běi, and Lǐ wèn-dào have this capital? They have all cultivated the Primordial Purple Energy, but what about you? Aren't you just like us? Oh, no, you are not even comparable to qīng hé. At least qīng hé has the ability to easily annihilate you."
With that, Lěi jiàn's expression turned slightly cold.
This scene made Jiàn xīn and the others, who also wanted to belittle Lù qīng hé, feel an icy chill in their hearts.
At this point, they suddenly realized that whether Lù qīng hé had cultivated the Primordial Purple Energy or not, he was still a terrifying figure who had once slashed the son of the Ten Transformations. Until they truly reached the stage of becoming Primordial, Lù qīng hé was an unshakable king in the True Refinement stage.
Genius?
Lǐ wèn-dào, the North Hán Yuè, and the Ten Transformations may indeed be true geniuses compared to Lù qīng hé, and even the Ten Transformations was the same.
But just like true geniuses such as the Ten Transformations died at the hands of Lù qīng hé.
So-called geniuses are just ordinary people before they truly grow up.
Perhaps this is also the reason why Lǐ wèn-dào, North Hán Yuè, and the Ten Transformations left quickly.
Thinking of this, Dīng hǎi and the others' eyes showed fear, and they quickly left the courtyard and disappeared.
"What kind of nonsense is this! Are those people all blind!? The Primordial Purple Energy, so what if they haven't cultivated it? Qīng hé has just broken through to the Tenth Refinement stage, except for the Invincible One among the Ten Sons, which one of the Ten Sons didn't spend several years refining the true energy in their bodies into the Primordial Purple Energy? It's as if each of them is sure that Qīng hé definitely won't condense the Primordial Purple Energy, or open the Inheritance Elemental Realm!"
Seeing all the disciples and elders leave, Lěi jian complained angrily, feeling unfair for Lù qīng hé.
"Qīng hé, aren't you even a little angry?"
"Angry? Why should I be angry?"
Lù qīng hé smiled faintly. "I'm bored to bother about people unrelated to me?"
"That's true... but my realm of thought is not as high as yours, not being pleased with things or getting upset."
"You're flattering me, actually, I'm just an ordinary person."
"Is that so? I can't see it. You're almost as calm as can be."
"How could I be? It's just, don't you think it would be great to let them feel smug for a while, and then when I finally open the Inheritance Elemental Realm, I can crush them thoroughly? Wouldn't that be a great feeling?"
Lěi jian was slightly stunned, looking at Lù qīng hé with a calm expression, as if seeing him for the first time.
After a moment, he burst into laughter. "Yes! Yes! Yes! That's the effect we want. Each of those narrow-minded people has already decided that you definitely can't open the Inheritance Elemental Realm, so you just have to open it and give them a hard time, so that they all can feel embarrassed."
Lù qīng hé smiled faintly but didn't say anything.
"Qīng hé, I'm counting on you. You're a freak!"
Lěi jian patted him heavily on the shoulder.
"Well, I can't fall behind either. Alright, I won't watch the battle of the ages anymore, I have to hurry up and cultivate, and strive to refine the Primordial Purple Energy as soon as possible."
Lù qīng hé nodded.
After Lei Jian left, he also returned to his own room.
Soon, he had already sat down and began practicing in silence.
"They all think I can't open the Inheritance Elemental Realm?"
After a moment, Lù qīng hé, sitting cross-legged, murmured to himself.
"Then, wait for them to reap what they have sown."
He doesn't just want to open up the Primordial Boundary!
It's not just about inheriting and perfecting the Primordial Boundary, but...
The Legendary Primordial Boundary!
In the next moment, a dazzling light burst forth from Lu Qinghe's eyes.
Lu Qinghe only wanted to quietly cultivate and seek truth in this world where the conditions allow it.
The experiences and encounters in the Qian Gu City have caused ripples in his calm state of mind...
Fierce and competitive!?
The edge of the great Dao, how many are there in one's life!
If you want to compete, you must be sharp as a blade!
But one day, these ripples will turn into towering waves, making the whole world tremble.
...
Refining the truth to the tenth stage!
What Lu Qinghe received was not just a moment of enlightenment in his cultivation, but also an enhancement in his comprehension.
Regarding the comprehension of the Initial Sword, it seems like a surging flow that can only be described as a gushing spring.
With this continually deepening comprehension, he can now concentrate his mind to comprehend the Splitting Light and Shifting Shadows Sword Technique.
This sword technique is among the top in the Wan Xian Sect, no less difficult than the Moon Demon Sword Technique, no less challenging than the Heavenly Dragon Zen Sword. For ordinary people, practicing it is extremely difficult.
Yet Lu Qinghe, in less than a day, has already grasped control; in six days, he has perfected the sword technique, and in ten days, he has reached mastery.
After that, he began to integrate this sword technique with the Sanqing Yi Sword Technique.
The Flowing Light Thirteen Swords is a swift sword technique, and its ultimate move, the Fourteenth, while powerful, cannot be considered stunning.
In contrast, the Initial Sword is Lu Qinghe's final move, only displayed at the last moment.
Therefore, the ultimate move of the Splitting Light and Shifting Shadows Sword Technique, the Shadow of Death, is particularly important.
Especially when it incorporates the Sanqing Yi Sword Technique, it becomes even more unpredictable and enigmatic, making it incredibly difficult to defend against.
Time...
Passes during cultivation.
The flying ship from the inheritance academy is much slower than expected.
It is not until noon on the sixteenth day that Lu Qinghe receives the notification of the gathering.
The flying ship...
Has entered the territory of the Qian Gu Kingdom.
...
In the courtyard, Li Wenda, Ding Hai, Lin Xia, and others are gathered in one group, while the remaining disciples form another group.
Su Mengqing, who had been paired with Li Wenda, is nowhere to be seen at this moment, and no one knows where she has gone.
While everyone watches Lu Qinghe's arrival, they all pretend not to notice.
Their eyes on him are filled with envy, jealousy, and awe, but no one dares to look down on him anymore.
"Ha ha, Qinghe, are you feeling inspired, to come out of seclusion after half a month?"
Lu Qinghe doesn't need to turn around to know who the owner of this voice is.
"How's it going, have you refined the Primordial Purple Energy?"
"How is that possible."
Thunder Sword walks over to Lu Qinghe's side and sighs, "Refining the Primordial Purple Energy is not that easy. If it were, there would be people all over the streets who have opened the Primordial Boundary. I can only wait until I get to the inheritance academy to see if there are any special methods that can allow me to refine the true energy into Primordial Purple Energy."
"Oh, tell me about the Primordial Purple Energy and the Gateway to the Primordial Boundary."
"You..."
Hearing that Lu Qinghe had asked such a basic question, Thunder Sword instinctively found it unbelievable. But thinking back to a little over a year ago, when Lu Qinghe had just entered the Wan Xian Sect, he had only reached the third stage of refining the truth...
At that moment, he couldn't help but realize.
Yet, even so, he was once again shocked by Lu Qinghe's progress speed.
If this kid continues at this pace, he might really give everyone a resounding slap in the face.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but gather his thoughts and say, "The Primordial Purple Energy is actually the continuous circulation of the true energy within the body, in order to purify and compress it. Everyone knows this."
"That simple?"
"It's just that simple."
Thunder Sword said helplessly, "There are too few methods and treasures that can purify true energy. In addition to constantly challenging one's potential and pushing one's limits, there is no other way. However, while the method sounds simple, how many people can actually achieve it?"
Lu Qinghe nodded.
Limits?
Once it is a limit, how can it be so easily broken.
"In general, the greater the true energy, the harder it is to control, the more unstable it becomes, and the more dangerous it becomes when compressed. This is also the reason why it is difficult to break through the realm of powerful true energy..."
Saying this, Lei Jian glanced at Lu Qinghe, then, as if he had figured something out, he said seriously, "Thick true energy is the same."
Lu Qinghe thought to himself, "The deeper the accumulation, the harder it is to compress and refine it?"
"Exactly, with your thick true energy, the amount that needs to be refined naturally increases, and therefore, the difficulty increases. Of course, the effort and the harvest are directly proportional. Such a person, once they open the elemental realm, can advance to the middle and later stages of the union realm, and even have the hope of reaching the peak."
Speaking of this, Lei Jian paused slightly in his tone and shrugged, "It is said that some people, when they open the elemental realm and advance to the union realm, can directly break through to the second stage of the union realm. But whether it's true or not, I can't judge."
"Accumulation before eruption also makes sense."
Lu Qinghe could understand.
"Refining the innate purple energy proves that inheriting the elemental realm is no longer a luxury, but the probability of truly opening it is still only one in ten, or even half."
Lei Jian said, "Above that is the elemental realm gate. The reason why the mysterious young prince, the first prince, and the invincible prince are in a different class from the Primeval prince, the Sword prince, the Dao prince, the Mechanism prince, and the Myriad Transformation... um, he's gone... is because they have all touched the elemental realm gate."
"The elemental realm gate!"
"When the innate purple energy in your body circulates completely, your body's innate purple energy will form a vortex, and through the vortex, you can vaguely see a chaotic world... that is the elemental realm you are nurturing! At this point, inheriting the elemental realm, you have already been successful at least one third!"
At this point, Lei Jian reached out and pushed forward forcefully, "Breaking the elemental realm gate, can open the elemental realm, and advance to the union realm!"
