Chapter 1257: Chapter 769: The Tip of the Talent Iceberg, Secret Realm Closure (2)

They understood the meaning of Old Cyan Dragon.

Maintaining the operation of various restrictions and arrays within the secret realm requires a huge consumption of energy.

Although the restrictions set by the master have long reached a state of perpetuity, drawing energy from the Endless Void to sustain themselves.

However, if the secret realm is closed, it can invisibly reduce a considerable amount of consumption, saving more spiritual charm for Lu Qing’s cultivation.

And they have witnessed Ah Qing’s cultivation, and his demand for spiritual charm is truly terrifying.

Each breakthrough of a small realm absorbs spiritual charm that even those in the Unity Realm Stage find astonishing.

With the current resources left in the Immortal Palace, it indeed can no longer support the needs of Ah Qing’s cultivation.

So closing the secret realm in advance is indeed a good method.

"It’s not impossible, but we have to wait until the cultivators in the test passage are all eliminated before we can close the secret realm."

Ming Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Back then, the master upheld the principle of teaching without discrimination, so since there are still people persisting in the test passage, we can’t interrupt them, let’s wait until they are eliminated before closing the secret realm,"

"Alright, judging by their current situation, it’s just a matter of a few more years at most."

This time, Old Cyan Dragon did not object and nodded in agreement.

Its gaze fell on the few remaining light screens in front of it.

On them, the figures of Yu Jian and others were conspicuously listed.

However, Old Cyan Dragon could tell that they had no hope of passing through.

Although these cultivators could be considered proud talents, they ultimately lack a certain foundation.

In the past, even if they couldn’t pass through in the end, they would at least be given a registered disciple slot, granting them some opportunities.

But now, with Lu Qing being so outstanding, the talents of Yu Jian and others seem lackluster.

There’s no need to waste resources on them.

In the coming time, the secret realm fell into a strange atmosphere.

Almost all the powerful figures were secretly inquiring about Lu Qing’s information.

After all, for such a terrifying existence, no one wouldn’t want to know his origin.

However, strangely enough, after thorough exchanges and inquiries, no one truly knew the background of Lu Qing.

His mentoring, the world he belongs to, and even his appearance, no one knew even a hint.

The whole person seemed to appear out of thin air, full of mysteries.

Yet the more it was like this, the more everyone respected and feared him.

Such a strong figure, yet no information could be gathered, leaving only a few reasons.

And those reasons, no matter which one, were enough to make everyone extremely apprehensive.

However, there was also one thing that made the powerful figures in the secret realm feel strange.

The day Lu Qing was stationed at the exit of the test passage, it was clear he intended to annihilate all the disciples of the Black and White Temple.

But after killing the Clan Leader of the Da Yuan Immortal Clan, he suddenly disappeared without waiting for Mo Tushan to emerge.

Could it be that in the battle with the Clan Leader of the Da Yuan Immortal Clan, Lu Qing was not as relaxed as he appeared, but was actually considerably injured, and thus withdrew?

This doubt was finally answered several months later from another strong figure who was eliminated from the test passage.

And that eliminated strong figure was Peach Fairy from the Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal.

"Senior sister, what did you say, Mo Tushan is already dead?"

The disciple of the Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal couldn’t help but exclaim, causing other strong figures from other factions to be shocked and look over.

Mo Tushan is already dead?

Some strong figures immediately recalled Lu Qing’s departure.

Could it be that he had long known Mo Tushan was dead, or was it he who did it?

Peach Fairy also seemed intent on broadcasting the matter, she nodded slightly: "Indeed, he was one-palmed to death by a supreme strong figure in the seventh level of the Physical Body passage."

One palm to death!

All the strong figures were even more shocked.

Those who initially speculated it was Lu Qing’s doing were dumbfounded.

Because they all knew, Lu Qing was an incredibly powerful sword cultivator, and that day, the sword skill that gathered countless stars into one still makes everyone tremble at heart and spirit.

Could it be that there is another equally mysterious and terrifying strong figure in the test passage who can suppress Mo Tushan?

"Mo Tushan is really dead, no wonder that day he left directly. Could it be he knows the strong figure who killed Mo Tushan?"

The disciple from the Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal murmured.

"What do you mean by knowing that person, what are you talking about?" Peach Fairy felt strange.

"Senior sister, you don’t know..."

The disciple from the Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal immediately got excited and quickly recounted what happened a while ago.

But this time, it was Peach Fairy’s turn to be shocked: "What did you say, someone outside cut down a Primordial Spirit of Nine Tribulations with one sword?"

"Indeed, that Nine Tribulations Primordial Spirit was the Clan Leader of the Da Yuan Immortal Clan. Normally, if he didn’t provoke the strong sword cultivator senior, he would be fine, but he insisted on courting death, relying on his Nine Tribulations Primordial Spirit cultivation to snatch that person’s treasure, and ended up being cut down with one sword..."

Not far away, the clansmen of the Da Yuan Immortal Clan felt a sense of humiliation when hearing others discussing their Clan Leader so recklessly.

But no matter how humiliated they felt, they had to forcibly endure it without showing any expression.

Nowadays, circumstances are unfavorable, with the Clan Leader already fallen, they are already weaker among so many factions, if they dare to stand out, they might be totally wiped out.

So no matter how others discuss, they can only pretend not to hear.

Over there, Peach Fairy listened to her junior’s story, but felt something was wrong.

She interrupted her junior who was still chattering: "Wait, what does the powerful sword cultivator look like?"

"Actually, senior sister, you’ve seen him too. It was the Five Tribulations cultivator who played with Mo Tushan that day, turns out he was deliberately concealing his strength... Senior sister, what’s wrong?"

The disciple from the Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal was about to continue recounting, when suddenly noticing the odd look on her senior sister’s face.

Peach Fairy was somewhat dazed and muttered: "The strong figure who suppressed Mo Tushan in the Physical Body passage is also the one you’re talking about..."

"What!"

Once again, all strong figures were shocked.

...

Time passed quickly, and several years went by in a flash.

Lu Qing was in closed-door cultivation in an Immortal Mountain Cave Mansion.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, looked at the spiritual energy surrounding him, and revealed a hint of helplessness.

"Finally, it’s reached this point."

Lu Qing felt the large amount of spiritual energy that he absorbed into his dantian, and under the operation of his cultivation technique, it eventually condensed into a single strand of the most pure mana.

And this strand of mana, compared to the majestic mana in his dantian, is utterly insignificant, like a drop of water merging into the sea, barely stirring any waves.

"Three years of cultivation, my cultivation has indeed reached the realm of Six Tribulations Great Success, but the spiritual energy within the many Immortal Mountain Cave Mansions in this second-layer space is finally no longer of use to me."

Lu Qing shook his head and sighed.

Actually, it can’t be said to be completely useless.

But with the purity level of his mana now, even if he drains the entire cave mansion of spiritual energy, he can only refine a dozen strands of mana.

This bit of mana is utterly trivial in terms of enhancing his cultivation.

Even if Lu Qing continuously switches cave mansions, draining all the spiritual energy in the Immortal Mountain Cave Mansions, it can’t significantly increase his cultivation.

Not to mention the spiritual energy within these cave mansions does take time to recover.

Given his current cultivation consumption, even with the considerable number of cave mansions in the second-layer space, it can’t form a cycle to continue supplying his cultivation.

Thus, Lu Qing returned to his previous predicament.

With the superpower assisting him in the realm, he has virtually no bottleneck.

But the external cultivation environment severely limits his cultivation speed.

"Given the purity of my mana right now, even the Nourishing God Pill is useless for me. Only that extremely pure energy, like treasures such as Top-grade Spiritual Stones, are effective for my cultivation. It seems it’s about time to go out."

Lu Qing was pondering inwardly.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind.

Hearing this voice, Lu Qing was slightly taken aback.

"Hmm? The Returning Ruins Secret Realm is about to be closed?"
