Yellow Court Daoist

With all magical methods bestowed upon him, Array Flags and Magic Artifacts in hand, Lu Qingfeng was even daring enough to battle a Jiedan True Man.

At this moment, with his realm suppression, it was even more effortless and relaxed.

Back then, the once unmatched Chang Fengzi struggled to contend against such an Immortal Array, and Chang Qi, whose only noteworthy skill was his Insect Control Technique, was more like a dog of clay!

Less than a quarter of an hour had passed—

"Ah!"

A scream came from the array, and Lu Qingfeng waved his hand to withdraw the Immortal Array; twelve Divine Flags and 3,600 Xuan Hao Talismans flew back, returning to his sleeve.

Where the array had been, the ground was scorched black by the fierce fire, with no sign of Chang Qi.

Only a small purple bell, left undamaged, lay on the ground.

"Zi Chong Bell."

"This must be the Magic Artifact given by the Qu Wen Zhan Jing Lei General of the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain."

Lu Qingfeng advanced to pick up the bell, recalling Chang Qi's words he had overheard before and recognized that this bell was called the 'Zi Chong Bell'. Much of Chang Qi's Insect Control Technique relied on this bell.

Otherwise, neither the breeding of spiritual insects nor their domestication could be achieved in a short time.

The Zi Chong Bell was extremely important.

"Humming!"

As soon as the Zi Chong Bell was in hand, it struggled and buzzed, attempting to break away.

Lu Qingfeng firmly grasped it, rapidly saying, "By the permission of the Upper God, Chang Qi harbored the intent to slay me. Putting him down was a last resort. This bell I shall only temporarily safeguard, and in thirty years, it shall be returned to Seven Insect Immortal Mountain, ensuring that the teachings are not lost!"

The Zi Chong Bell was immensely significant to the lineage of the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain. For Lu Qingfeng, were he able to decipher and refine it in reality, cultivating his Iron Fire Ants would be as if divinely assisted.

Naturally, he did not wish for it to be taken away by the Qu Wen Zhan Jing Lei General.

For a moment, with a well-prepared speech rapidly delivered, the Zi Chong Bell struggled for a while, then eventually quieted down.

"Thank you, Upper God!"

Lu Qingfeng, overjoyed, hastily offered his thanks.

Immediately seizing the Zi Chong Bell, he then quickly left the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain.

Not long after Lu Qingfeng's departure, a group of cultivators rushed into the insect lair, only to see nothing but the scorched remains of the fierce fire; Chang Qi was already nowhere to be found.

...

[Magical Artifact: Zi Chong Bell]

[Grade: Eighth Rank]

[Description: A legacy Magic Artifact from the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain, an Artifact of Insect Dao, handed down by the Upper Realm's Qu Wen Zhan Jing Lei General, capable of maturing spiritual insects and controlling them]

"Zi Chong Bell."

Holding the Zi Chong Bell, Lu Qingfeng's face showed a hint of a smile.

Another Eighth Rank Magical Artifact obtained.

This Magical Artifact was similar to the Xuanhao Talismans in his hand, with a unique effect.

The Xuanhao Talismans are Array Dao Magical Artifacts, used for setting up arrays. If they fell into the hands of a cultivator who does not comprehend Arrays, they would be of little use.

That year, when Lu Qingfeng offered it as a prize, Chang Fengzi was somewhat reluctant, for this reason.

Although the Zi Chong Bell was not an Array Dao Magical Artifact, it was an Artifact for maturing and enslaving spiritual insects, refined by the Insect Control branch of cultivation.

With the Zi Chong Bell in hand, Chang Qi was able to quickly cultivate dozens of types of spiritual insects. He had great aspirations, intending to traverse the world once he succeeded, dominating as the strongest. Sadly, he was targeted by Lu Qingfeng while still in hiding.

And in the end, both his body and soul perished.

A Reincarnated True Immortal, with all his opportunities disappeared, met the same fate as Chang Feng.

As for the Ancestor Master of the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain, the Qu Wen Zhan Jing Lei General—

"This Thunder General, like the Wind Fire Primordial Monarch, is clearly bound by some restriction or agreement, unable to take action in the Lower Realm. They can merely take back the Magic Artifacts given from above."

"Once the magic artifact is retrieved, the Lower Realm's inheritance will lack such an artifact, and it will immediately fall into a disadvantaged position. I will give it a limit of thirty years to return the Purple Insect Bell to the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain, which obviously plays right into the hands of the Seven-Insect Ancestor Master."

Lu Qingfeng pondered.

Through the Wind and Fire Dual Beads and the Purple Insect Bell, these two Sect Magical Artifacts, Lu Qingfeng had managed to glean some insights into the true faces of those Upper Realm Immortals.

Currently, it appears that these Immortal Gods care much about face and inheritance, and in secret, there are agreements or restrictions that prevent them from directly interfering in the affairs of the Changqing Realm.

With this knowledge, he could do much more in the Changqing Realm.

Ordinary cultivators might worry that if they go too far in the Changqing Realm, once they ascend to the Upper Realm, old scores may be settled.

But Lu Qingfeng was not afraid.

With his talent, it was not certain that he could cultivate to the True Immortal Realm within Changqing Realm, let alone ascend to the Upper Realm.

In his next Reincarnation, he would not be in the Changqing Realm anymore.

In the constant like sands Lower Realms, how could the Thunder Department God find Lu Qingfeng's Reincarnated self?

Therefore.

Having figured out the restrictions of the Upper Realm Immortal Gods, the shackles on Lu Qingfeng were lifted.

No more hesitations.

As for the Soul Searching Guang Yuan Upper Realm Ancestor Master—

"Although the Ancestor Master's rank is not high, after all, he is a Divine General and must have support. The Wind Fire Primordial Monarch, Qu Wen Zhan Jing Lei General, and others are unlikely to vent their anger on the Ancestor Master due to mere Lower Realm conflicts. Even if they are narrow-minded and truly hold a grudge, the support behind the Ancestor Master will likely not abandon him."

Lu Qingfeng's thoughts turned, and he suddenly smiled.

He, a mere Lower Realm mortal cultivator, was actually worrying about the affairs of an Upper Realm Ancestor Master, truly overestimating his own importance. Perhaps whatever commotion occurs in the Lower Realm might only serve as casual conversation material for these Upper Realm Immortal Gods.

It was only because he was in the thick of it that he saw it as a grave matter.

Shaking his head, Lu Qingfeng chose not to dwell on these thoughts.

"Just having the Purple Insect Bell is not enough."

After storing the Purple Insect Bell into his storage bag and traveling several dozen miles away from the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain, Lu Qingfeng then summoned twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty Nine Strategies Xuan Hao Talisman to form a flying boat, leisurely heading toward the gate of the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain.

The Purple Insect Bell was an unexpected joy.

However, the goal of Lu Qingfeng's trip was the Insect Control Technique of the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain.

...

There's no wall in the world that doesn't leak sound.

Since thirty-two years ago, after killing Chang Fengzi, Soul Searching Guang Yuan had been in seclusion at General Ridge. However, thirty-two years later, his actions shocked the world once he made his move.

"Chang Qi of Seven Insect Immortal Mountain?"

"This Chang Qi has extraordinary fortune; though he was not one of the first batch of True Immortals to descend, he was one of the first to awaken his previous wisdom. His methods of controlling spiritual insects may not be presentable, but there is somewhat a Daoist Skill in it. And he was actually killed by Guang Yuanzi?"

Six-Eyed Heavenly Gate.

A trace of surprise showed on Lin Chao's face.

Yu Yangzi furrowed his brows, "Indeed, it's odd."

"Between Seven Insect Immortal Mountain and Soul Searching Temple, there is still Zheng Country and our Six-Eyed Heavenly Gate in between, usually having no bearing with each other. There has never been any intersection between Soul Searching Guang Yuan and Chang Qi of Seven Insect Immortal Mountain."

"But according to the news from Longchuan, less than an hour before Guang Yuanzi went to pay his respects at Seven Insect Immortal Mountain, Chang Qi was killed in his insect cave. Within the insect cave, there were traces of fierce fire scorching, the same as the Dutian Fierce Fire Immortal Array that Guang Yuanzi deployed when he killed Chang Fengzi back then. Connecting these two incidents together, it was undoubtedly Guang Yuanzi who made the move."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chao had a strange expression, "To kill Chang Qi and then pay respects to the mountain less than an hour later? It seems that Guang Yuanzi didn't intend to cover it up at all!"

"Indeed."

"Guang Yuanzi went to pay respects to get the Secret of Insect Control from Seven Insect Immortal Mountain. With the threatening might of having killed Chang Qi, Seven Insect Immortal Mountain didn't dare to resist and handed over the secret technique directly."

"And then Guang Yuanzi left."

Yu Yangzi mentioned this matter, and he couldn't help but think of the time when Lu Qingfeng came to visit and took their Magic Gate.

Though he didn't witness Lu Qingfeng's actions at Seven Insect Immortal Mountain in person, with a few words, one could imagine.
