Chapter 6 Start
Hearing what Yun Lang, the guardian, had said, the expressions of the three became solemn.
The power of Primordial Intent was well known to the three Void Refining Cultivators.
To know that even a demon of the Void could only grasp the Space True Intention due to its bloodline was telling.
It was also because of the Space True Intention that the demon of the Void became such a difficult foe.
What other forbidden secrets might lie where another source of Primordial Intent existed, the very thought sent shivers down their spines.
Who would have thought that within the desolate borders of Qing State, such an unpredictable place, teeming with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, would exist?
Having said all he had to, Yun Lang, the guardian, waved his hand tiredly to dismiss the guests.
The three Void Refining elders knew when they were not wanted and left soon after.
As soon as the three Tower Masters had left the Heavenly Secret Tower, Yun Lang, the guardian, suddenly began to cough violently. Specks of blood spattered from his mouth, staining the ground crimson.
Looking at the glaring blood stains on the ground, Yun Lang sighed and his tone revealed a sense of weariness, "My time is running out…"
Heartbroken and without a good end, it seemed a common fate for the disciples of the Heavenly Secret Pavillion.
....
In the central nexus of the Qingfeng Realm.
The three Tower Masters convened to discuss their mission.
"If we don't find a way to limit the Space True Intention, even if we lead the cultivators of our tower to attack, we can only wipe out the underlings of the Netherworld, while the demon of the Void could escape using Space True Intention," declared Lv Yuan, the deputy tower master, hitting the nail on the head.
"If we can't capture the demon of the Void in one fell swoop this time, who knows how long we will have to wait for another opportunity!" concurred Beiming True Venerable.
To capture the demon of the Void, dealing with the Space True Intention was a challenge they couldn't avoid.
"I have already reported our situation here to the Southern Territory branch.
They take our action to eradicate the demon of the Void very seriously, so they will send cultivators who have methods to deal with Space True Intention to assist us," declared Pangyang, the Tower Master confidently.
"That's good news," Lv Yuan said, relieved upon hearing this.
"What's the plan going forward?" asked Beiming True Venerable.
"We'll wait for the reinforcements from the tower to arrive, and then..." Pangyang, the Tower Master, spoke with a chilling expression, sharing the detailed plan with the other two Tower Masters.
......
On the fifth day in the Qingfeng Realm, after sending a departing Spirit Message to Lu Qingshan, Dantai Qingrun quietly left the Southern Territory. He used the Teleportation Array to travel to the Heavenly Secret Tower in the Central Heavenly Realm.
After all, Dantai Qingrun was the first main storyline character that Lu Qingshan encountered upon arriving in this world, and he held a certain fondness for him.
This parting was likely to be for a long time, which filled Lu Qingshan with a faint regret.
The task mentioned by Beiming True Venerable was what awaited Lu Qingshan next.
Lu Qingshan glanced at the Western Rat King, who was diligently cultivating his Cultivation Technique and nodded to himself in approval.
He hadn't expected such an impetuous little demon rat to truly be capable of settling down to cultivate.
As for himself, he took out the Taoist Scroll that contained the Heaven Suppressing Secret Sword and began to study it.
With the Innate Swordseed to aid him, he wasn't limited to learning the Secret Sword Technique solely through Experience Points. Like an ordinary cultivator, he could also study and practice to master the technique on his own.
Although it would take much longer without the aid of Experience Points, it was still a viable alternative.
Five days swiftly passed as Lu Qingshan delved into his research before finally putting aside the scroll.
It was, of course, impossible to master the Heaven Suppressing Secret Sword in such a short period.
It was rather because amid the violent fluctuations of Spiritual Energy caused by the Western Rat King, a hidden Spirit Message penetrated through the protective light barrier of the Guardian Tower and reached him.
Lu Qingshan beckoned with his hand and found that the Spirit Message was from Beiming True Venerable.
Upon probing the Spirit Message with his Divine Sense, his expression subtly changed.
Without further thought, Lu Qingshan released a soft Divine Sense, rousing the Western Rat King from his cultivation.
"What's up?" The little demon rat, called out of his cultivation state by Lu Qingshan, scratched his head, puzzled.
"I have to step out for a bit. Do you want to stay here and cultivate, or come with me?" Lu Qingshan asked casually.
"I'll come with you!" The Western Rat King answered promptly and with cunning.

"Then let's go," said Lu Qingshan.
......
Qianzhao City, on the very edge of Qing State, was less bustling than other prefectural cities.
Lu Qingshan emerged from the gleaming Teleportation Array in Qianzhao City.
Upon arriving in Qianzhao City, Lu Qingshan quickly left the city.
Outside the city, Lu Qingshan, though it was his first visit to this prefecture, confidently navigated on his Flying Sword toward a certain direction.
An hour later, a mountain peak with a Sect named Iron Fist Sect, which had been in existence for nearly a thousand years, appeared in Lu Qingshan's sight.
A vast Array enveloped the entire Sect for protection.
At the entrance of the Sect halfway up the mountain, two black-robed cultivators stood guard.
Stopping at the Sect's entrance, Lu Qingshan tossed a Token in his hand toward the two black-robed figures.
The two black-robed men inspected the Token then swiftly returned it and stepped aside to let him pass, as an opening formed in the protective Array for him to enter.
Lu Qingshan's figure flashed as he flew inside.
A vast Sect square unfolded before his eyes.
