Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was impossible to determine which was the strongest, or the most perfect, of the three Intrinsic Sword Techniques of the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture.

Moreover, in the historical records of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, Daoist Heaven Enlightenment’s Intrinsic Sword was the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Embryo. The Grand Elder Lu Fengjian who had ascended to the Immortal World 100,000 years ago had refined the World Breaking Sword.

As for the Intrinsic Sword refined by the current Sect Master, Yang Li, it was a secret of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.

He could not know for the time being.

One had to know, the reason why Daoist Heaven Enlightenment and Lu Fengjian chose one type of sword was that with their potential and comprehension, as well as the resources needed to refine their Intrinsic Sword, they were limited, causing them to be able to only refine one.

However, Qi Ming did not need to worry.

He had the ability to refine all three Intrinsic Swords. Be it aptitude, comprehension, or the resources needed to refine them, they could not restrain Qi Ming.

There was a saying.

Only children would make choices, adults would take all the options.

Ding!

“You have been AFK Farming in the ‘Shushan Ancient Path’ game dungeon for ten days. You have cleared the game dungeon ten times. You have received: one Metal Origin Crystal, one Wood Origin Crystal, three Sword Dao Stones, three top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills, and 900 low-grade spirit stones.”

A notification appeared.

“Not bad.”

Qi Ming was in a good mood. He said, “This time, the Shushan Ancient Path game dungeon has produced many resources. Among them, the Metal Origin Crystal, the Wood Origin Crystal, and the Sword Dao Stone are all precious resources needed to refine the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Embryo.”

Ding!

“Detected that the host’s cultivation level has broken through to the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm. The AFK Farming reward of the ninth level Qi Refinement realm game dungeon, the Shushan Ancient Path, has been greatly reduced. You can open a new game dungeon.”

Another notification appeared.

“Activate the new game dungeon.” Qi Ming said.

Ding!

“After using 100 low-grade spirit stones, you have successfully activated a new game dungeon. You can enter the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm game dungeon: Shushan Sword Sect.”

“The entrance to the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm game dungeon requires a hundred low-grade spirit stones.”

Qi Ming pondered for a moment before muttering, “This way, in the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm game dungeon: the resources produced by the Shushan Sword Sect should far exceed those produced by the Qi Refinement realm.”

Ding!

“Spirit Pet: Shushan Disciple has grown for ten days under the enhancement of 100 times. His cultivation level has risen from the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm to the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm.”

Another notification appeared.

“Come out.”

Swish!

With a thought from Qi Ming, Huo Changqing appeared. After only ten days of AFK Farming growth, he had already reached the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm.

“Master.” Huo Changqing bowed.

“Mm.” Qi Ming nodded slightly. With a wave of his right hand, he threw a few inferior-grade storage bags to Huo Changqing and instructed, “Go to the Green Cloud Market and sell all these things. Bring back the spirit stones.”

“Yes.” Huo Changqing replied.

Clang!

Huo Changqing rode his flying sword and flew on it, turning into a blue sword light. In the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared into the horizon and left Qi Ming’s vision.

One had to know, in the inferior-grade storage bag that Qi Ming handed to Huo Changqing, there were four top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills and the spells and talisman treasures he had obtained in the game dungeon during this period of time.

It could definitely sell for a huge sum of spirit stones.

Night came.

At the foot of the Falling Cloud Peak, a few uninvited guests arrived.

Swish! Swish!

These people directly and silently infiltrated the Falling Cloud Peak.

“Although Qi Ming is a legacy disciple, his cultivation level is not even at the Foundation Establishment realm. The mission that the Black Lotus Demon Lord issued is for us to kill Qi Ming. We have to think of a way to end the battle quickly. We must not alarm the higher-ups of the Green Cloud Peak.” A red-haired man said in a deep voice.

“He’s just an ant at the Qi Refinement realm. The three of us combined can easily deal with him.” The other square-faced man responded calmly.

“We can’t be careless.”

Finally, the long-haired man said, “Cao Jinxiu was planted with the Black Lotus Demon Seed. When he erupted, his realm could forcefully be raised to the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm, but he still died in Qi Ming’s hands.”

“This means that Qi Ming’s strength is not weak.”

Step… Step… Step…

Suddenly, very clear footsteps appeared in the deep forest.

In the darkness, under the faint moonlight, a light spot passed through the gaps in the leaves and landed on this figure.

Looking closer, it was Qi Ming.

His expression was cold as he looked at their hiding place, “You three, there’s no need to hide anymore. Show yourself.”

“It’s Qi Ming!”

“He actually discovered us!”

“As expected, you can’t be underestimated.”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

There was no hesitation.

These three people all appeared and stood around Qi Ming, surrounding him in the center. There was obvious killing intent in their eyes.

“I’ll give you some time to tell me your background.” Qi Ming said.

“Why would a dying person need to know so much?”

“Attack!”

“Attack, give it your all.”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Without any hesitation, the three people in front of him did not say anything else before erupting with all their strength. The pressure of the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm was released and spiritual qi surged. The strength of the three of them fused into one, and a huge, lifelike python appeared out of thin air as it pounced at Qi Ming.

“Green Lotus Dao!”

Clang!

Without any hesitation, Qi Ming attacked with his strongest attack method. The divine power spell technique, Green Lotus Dao, was used. Behind Qi Ming, an illusory twelfth-grade Chaos Green Lotus appeared.

Buzz!

The next moment, a green light spread out and enveloped the three people present. The three of them felt a terrifying pressure. Their cultivation levels were directly suppressed, and they fell from the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm to the mid-stage Foundation Establishment realm.

“What?!”

“What spell is this?”

“It can actually weaken our cultivation levels.”

The three of them were shocked and extremely shocked in their hearts.

They were only loose cultivators. The Human Dao Foundation they established was completely unable to be compared to Qi Ming.

“Break!”

Boom!

Qi Ming waved his right hand, and the twelfth-grade Chaos Green Lotus behind him flew out. Sword qi flowed continuously, forming an illusory Sword Dao Small World. It was like a lotus flower as sword qi rampaged, forcefully obliterating the python.

“You… you…”

They were already extremely terrified and could not help but scream, “Early-stage Foundation Establishment! You’re actually already at the Foundation Establishment realm!”

“Ice Manipulation Sword Art.”

Clang!

Qi Ming waved his right hand and the Seven Star Sword appeared in his hand. He slashed out with his sword and an ice-cold sword qi directly split the red-haired man into two.

“Space Sword Art.”

Crack!

Qi Ming slashed out another sword. This sword slashed down, condensing the power of space. It was like a spatial blade that cut off the head of the other square-faced man.

Blood splattered on the ground.

“Spare me! Spare me!”

Finally, the long-haired man was already frightened out of his wits. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qi Ming to beg for mercy, “We… We accepted the bounty mission of the Black Lotus Demon Lord to kill you. Don’t kill me! I’m willing to say anything!”

“It’s actually the Black Lotus Demon Lord.”

Qi Ming lowered his head and looked at the long-haired man who was kneeling and begging for mercy, “Who are you? You actually infiltrated here to assassinate me.”

“We… We are only independent cultivators. We received a bounty assassination mission from the black bounty list.”

The long-haired man replied, “Because the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly is about to begin. There are many disciples from various families who have rushed over from the Southern Region, relatives of the Emperor, and mortals who want to cultivate. That’s why the Heaven Enlightenment Sect activated the temporary passageway to the sect protection array.”

“We took this opportunity to spend some time asking about your cave abode.”

“It’s the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly again.”

Qi Ming frowned and asked, “What’s the cultivation level of the Black Lotus Demon Lord?”

“I… I don’t know.” The long-haired man trembled as he replied.

“You don’t even know this. What’s the use of keeping you?”

Pew!!!

Qi Ming beheaded him with a sword..
