Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 770 - 691: Those Who Learn from Me Live, Those Who Resemble Me Die? Are You Worthy?!

"Five-Colored Divine Light."

"Top Grade Spiritual Treasure."

Lu Qingfeng grasped the Five-Colored Divine Light, joyfully unable to part with it.

Such a Supreme Treasure!

Originally, it was a treasure at the level of the Sky Flipping Seal, born Innate and refined Postnatal, considered an Acquired Treasure. Hardly a few can be found throughout the Primordial era.

Having been taken out, it fell two grades.

Yet it still remains a Top Grade Spiritual Treasure, with boundless might. Once refined and deployed, its power could arguably surpass the Sixth Level Five-Colored Divine Light Great Divine Power of Lu Qingfeng.

Mightiness is secondary.

More importantly, Lu Qingfeng could utilize this treasure to study Divine Skills, even directly deciphering the Supreme Divine Power level Five-Colored Divine Light, greatly advancing his Dao ability.

"Fantastic treasure!"

"Fantastic treasure!"

Lu Qingfeng continually smiled, polishing the treasure.

The appearance of this Five-Colored Divine Light is that of five feathers, each about three feet long, resembling swords each with a distinct color; green, yellow, red, black, white, subtly flowing within but not radiating outward, only circulating inside.

At first glance, one could tell it was not mundane.

Suppressing the thrill in his heart.

Lu Qingfeng then looked at the gourd—

[Spiritual Treasure: Immortal Slaying Flying Saber]

[Grade: Top Grade]

[Description: A treasure of Lu Ya Daoist, rumored to be made from the Innate Treasure Gourd infused with the essence of a Great Witch. Upon releasing a white ray, it fixes itself on an enemy's head, sealing their Primordial Spirit, preventing any escape through transformation arts. By chanting "Turn around, treasure," it will automatically spin and instantly sever the opponent's head, making regeneration impossible and permanently killing even highly potent Demons and Immortals.]

"Lu Ya Daoist."

"Immortal Slaying Flying Saber."

Undoubtedly.

Another Supreme Treasure.

Placed in the True and False Realm, this gourd is indeed a solid Acquired Treasure, its power almost unimaginable. Shining brilliantly during the Divine Enthronement period, causing fear in Immortals, Gods, and Buddhas alike.

Now in Lu Qingfeng's hands.

Returned to its original time-space, it dropped a grade to become a Top Grade Spiritual Treasure. But still not to be underestimated, against top-tier Heavenly Immortals or even Golden Immortals, a single inclination might even compel them to bow their head.

Truly formidable.

While examining the treasures, Lu Qingfeng also explained to Ao Le.

"Five-Colored Divine Light."

"Immortal Slaying Flying Saber."

Ao Le listened, his heart surging. Looking at the two treasures, he was dazzled. Initially, he thought the 'Divine Tomb' and 'Longevity Realm' acquired just recently were unparalleled treasures, but now comparing them, he knew he had to throw them out.

Lu Qingfeng looked at the Five-Colored Divine Light.

And the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber.

His eyes landing on the copper bell, they shone brightly, unable to suppress his smile: "Indeed, outdone by comparison!"

The Divine Tomb and Longevity Realm, along with the previously obtained Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Blade and Dragon Transformation Pond—these two Spiritual Treasures paled in comparison to the Five-Colored Divine Light and the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber.

However, when these two treasures are compared to this copper bell, they fade even more.

[Spiritual Treasure: East Emperor Bell]

[Grade: Top-Grade]

[Description: Originally named 'Chaos Bell,' it has been under the control of the East Emperor Taiyi since its emergence, hence also called 'East Emperor Bell.' Its defense is unrivaled, allowing one to 'stand on invincible ground' once deployed, capable of distorting space-time, reversing yin and yang, suppressing the fortunes of chaos, and performing the operations of the Heavenly Dao. This treasure is solely created by time-space, possessing just a hint of the real treasure's essence and appearance, with limited might.]

"East Emperor Bell."

"Chaos Bell."

Lu Qingfeng held the copper bell in his hand, about three inches big and very exquisite, continuously jingling when shaken.

His face was full of joyful surprise.

A Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure!

Just one step away from matching the Sky Flipping Seal, matching the true Five-Colored Divine Light, and the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber, the acquired treasures. At this stage for him, its power is truly significant.

Even though this great Innate Treasure fell to an Acquired Spiritual Treasure.

But Lu Qingfeng also knew, with a treasure like the Chaos Bell, even if he held it, it could be more of a curse than a blessing. Instead, this Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure, a counterfeit most similar in form and essence crafted by time-space, is truly suitable for him.

Even.

Even being a time-space counterfeit, Lu Qingfeng felt somewhat fortunate and intrigued to have acquired it.

"A million time-spaces."

"There are a million possibilities."

"Regardless of how it evolves, this unique treasure of all heavens should not have been so easily taken out by me."

Lu Qingfeng contemplated.

Recalling his acquisitions in the Space-Time True-False Realm, it went somewhat smoothly. Describing Zhou Green's death, Lu Qingfeng was merely surprised, but obtaining the Chaos Bell left him somewhat fearful.

Such a Supreme Treasure.

Even Saints would be envious, how could he take it to another time-space?

"Something's strange."

Lu Qingfeng stared at the several treasures in front, also taking out all twelve Du Tian Netherworld King Flags. Examining them carefully and thoroughly, he sensed a mysterious touch and suddenly had an epiphany: "So it is!"

His confusion cleared, and his worries dissipated.

Somewhat melancholy.

But at the same time, a great relief washed over him.

His gaze swept over the four treasures and the twelve Du Tian Netherworld King Flags.

Among these four treasures.

While the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber is powerful indeed, it is overly lethal and its methods too singular. If it were a true treasure, hardly anything in the world could restrain it.

But this is a counterfeit in Lu Qingfeng's hands, unable to achieve such invincibility.

Easy to be countered, if considered a reliance, it might harm oneself.

Not good to pass on.

The Five-Colored Divine Light is greatly useful for his understanding and studying of Divine Skills, concerning the base of his Dao ability and cultivation.

And both the Heavenly Centipede Bamboo Stick and the twelve Du Tian Netherworld King Flags are not weak.

But they contain a strong force of Karma, and only because Lu Qingfeng has the Yellow Court Scripture by his side is he unafraid of Karma. Ordinary Earth Immortals or Heavenly Immortals obtaining the Spiritual Treasure would not dare to use it wantonly, lest a single mishap allows Karma to contaminate them.

Unable to kill the enemy, instead harming one's own life.

A careful tally.

Only the Chaos Bell.

"Le'er."

"If you refine this treasure, you should be able to stand on invincible ground."

Lu Qingfeng handed the copper bell to Ao Le.

This Chaos Bell can be both offensive and defensive, not too important for him, but once Ao Le refines it, unless he meets an Acquired Treasure or a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, it can protect him.

Of course.

Most importantly, he must not encounter the real treasure.

Otherwise, a counterfeit Li Gui meeting the real Li Kui, his counterfeit would be extinguished.

"The real Chaos Bell is probably in the hands of the Saints, even intentionally meeting might not make it possible, just use it without worry."

"After all, it's just three thousand years."

"After three thousand years, all these various treasures must return to their original time-space."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

He had long suspected that these supreme treasures would not be obtained easily. If it were that simple, then those Great Golden Immortals with vast Divine Power would have owned treasures from the Primordial era long ago.

But if there was a time limit of three thousand years,

and the grade of treasures fell by two or three upon acquisition,

then for those Great Golden Immortals, the treasures would hardly be worth the trouble.

Three thousand years is but a fleeting moment.

They would hardly condescend to engage in such opportunistic ventures.

This approach yields disproportionate gains,

At the cost of unwarranted hostility from seizing treasures without cause,

and, furthermore, there is the issue of losing face.

Golden Immortals are immortal.

No one wishes to be faced with contempt and derision.

Moreover, at their level, upon acquiring such treasures, they may well encounter their rightful owners or authentic treasures, where a single thought from the real owner could dissolve the imitations and revert them to their original spacetime.

Thus, they are of little utility.

It is precisely at this time for Lu Qingfeng.

An unknown figure, because of the Divine Tomb, was plotting against him, and was soon to arrive.

Moreover, he was exiled in the Void within the Immortal Qin Realm, far removed from the Earth Immortal Realm, unafraid of encountering the legitimate owners.

Furthermore,

"I have the Yellow Court Scripture. Even from these imitations, I could decipher and comprehend the genuine essence and True Skill, aiding my cultivation to ascend further!"

Lu Qingfeng stored away the remaining treasures.

"So that's how it is!"

"What a pity indeed."

Ao Le, holding the Chaos Bell, felt a pang of regret knowing it could only be used for three thousand years.

"Don't dwell on it."

"First refine it, strive to comprehend."

Lu Qingfeng offered words of solace.

Now having achieved the status of a Heavenly Immortal, the Immortal Qin Realm could no longer contain him.

Thus, he, along with Ao Le, ventured deep into the Star Sea Realm to begin a secluded meditation to refine treasures.

...

Lu Qingfeng and Ao Le dreamt for seven hundred years, yet in reality, it was but a moment.

The Guang Yuan Immortal Court had just dispatched troops to obliterate Immortal Qin and seize the Star Sea Realm.

With generals like Zhang Shu and Ao Jun, nearly a hundred Earth Immortals, the Immortal Qin Empire without Qin Zhen's leadership would soon fall.

Lu Qingfeng was unconcerned.

He bestowed the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Saber for Zhang Shu to wield.

Within the Earth Immortal Realm,

gods are slaughtered as gods oppose, and Buddhas as they block.

No difficulty whatsoever.

In the Star Sea Realm,

with a continuous war raging, Lu Qingfeng concealed himself in the void of space, sat upon the stars, and cultivated in serenity, oblivious to external disturbances.

Xuan Technique circulated.

Great Method brewed.

Mana roared, and his physical body transformed.

But merely after half a day, Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes, ceasing his cultivation, his brows furrowed.

"What's wrong—"

Half a day's cultivation.

Lu Qingfeng discerned something amiss.

This Sect Master Level 'Twelve Heavenly Demon God Skill' felt entirely different in the Immortal Qin Realm compared to the ancient Earth Immortal Realm.

It lacked a sort of exhilarating satisfaction.

"It's not the Spiritual Energy or the environment."

Lu Qingfeng's brow furrowed deeper, discerning subtly; by half a day, he had pinpointed the root cause: "It's due to the difference in spacetime!"

This Twelve Heavenly Demon God Skill merely required gathering the thoughts of the All Heavens Demon Gods, and then the Twelve Ancestor Witches. These heavenly thoughts are primarily the scattered wills of the Twelve Ancestor Witches post-mortem throughout the Primordial era.

In ancient times within the Earth Immortal Realm,

before the Heavenly Dao Sect Master attained his Way, cultivation for Lu Qingfeng was effortlessly thrilling.

But back in the original spacetime, that Heavenly Dao Saint had long since achieved his Dao. The scattered thoughts of the Twelve Ancestor Witches across the Four Extremes were also gathered by the Saint and assimilated into Pangu's Body.

Lu Qingfeng, seeking to follow this Saint's path, found the road ahead unexpectedly blocked.

Previously naïve and unaware.

Only now, after enhancing the 'Twelve Heavenly Demon God Skill' to Sect Master level and cultivating once again in the original spacetime, did he realize the true nature of the path he was treading.

"Those who learn from me thrive."

"Those who mimic me perish."

Lu Qingfeng halted his cultivation, myriad thoughts flashing through his mind: "My cultivation of the 'Twelve Heavenly Demon God Skill' follows the way of the Heavenly Dao Saint. To reach the end of cultivation, unless the Saint perishes and the Twelve Ancestor Witches' thoughts scatter once more, I have a chance for enlightenment. Otherwise, I will forever be constrained, unable to achieve the Great Dao, and as the assistance from the Ancestor Witch's thoughts dwindles, the more strenuous my cultivation will become."

The sayings about learning and resembling were of little concern to Lu Qingfeng.

Who has not started by learning from others?!

Even those Demon Gods and Immortals from ancient times conformed to Heaven and Earth; though without predecessors, they also learned from the cosmos.

As for their successors.

Those Saint Disciples also practiced the Saint Methods.

Even the All Heavens Saints had once sat under the Daoist Ancestor's instruction in the Purple Cloud Palace among the three thousand guests.

Learning from and resembling others.

It was of no grave concern.

One shouldn't give up eating for fear of choking, simply because at the end of one's current path in cultivation lay a colossal mountain and halt their progress.

It would be ludicrous to assume one is too exceptional and must forge a new path.

Those Great Golden Immortals perhaps were still pursuing the paths laid by others, and Lu Qingfeng, a mere little Heavenly Immortal, on what grounds and with what audacity could he claim not to learn and not to resemble?

To put it plainly.

He wasn't qualified yet.

"First learn."

"Then innovate, and perhaps even venture off the beaten path to surpass, is the true way within."

Lu Qingfeng was clear in his heart.

His path with the 'Twelve Heavenly Demon God Skill,' although blocked by the Heavenly Dao Sect Master, did not mean he would abandon this Great Method.

On the contrary.

He could instead rely on this method to achieve the unchallenged existence of a Golden Immortal or even beneath a Saint. Once invincible in his own right, then consideration of breaking the deadlock and transcendence would not be too late.

Thinking back,

All previous thoughts were overambitious and laughable.

The priorities had been reversed.

Lu Qingfeng now faced the issue: "Without the scattered thoughts of the Twelve Ancestor Witches, my cultivation speed is too slow."

That was the real problem!
