Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 264 - 247: The Four Great Daoist Soldiers! The 12th Era Ends!
Approximately seven months later.
"It's done."
Lu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows and stood up holding the Dutian Xuanming Strategy.
Before his eyes, golden light flickered—
[Derivation Technique: Dutian Xuanming Strategy]
[First Magic Gate: Method of refining Dutian Xuanming Strategy, Experience Value: 800,000]
[Second Magic Gate: Method for breeding Dutian Ghost Generals, Experience Value: 800,000]
[Third Magic Gate: Method for breeding Xuanming Yin Soldiers, Experience Value: 800,000]

Analysis complete!
"Exchange."
Lu Qingfeng directly exchanged the three magic gates, eager to master them first for peace of mind.
Immediately holding the Dutian Xuanming Strategy, his mind moved, and he suddenly shouted, "Yin Soldiers Ghost Generals, come forth and heed my command!"
From within the Dutian Xuanming Strategy, a Yin Wind arose abruptly, and ghostly energy surged.
A whirlwind of ghost wind touched down on the ground in front, fully armored.
The clattering of armor rang out as thirty-six Dutian Ghost Generals and nine hundred sixty Xuanming Yin Soldiers kneeled respectfully, shouting—
"Salutations, Daoist!"
Their voices shook the Blessed Land, their aura soaring to the skies.
Lu Qingfeng glanced over—
[Daoist Soldiers: Dutian Ghost Generals]
[Grade: Intermediate]
[Description: Bamboo Mountain Sect Daoist Soldiers, masters of the Dutian Soul Refining Array, can train together with Xuanming Yin Soldiers to form the Dutian Xuanming Formation]
[Daoist Soldiers: Xuanming Yin Soldiers]
[Grade: Intermediate]
[Description: Bamboo Mountain Sect Daoist Soldiers, masters of the Zhushan Huayu Formation, can train together with Dutian Ghost Generals to form the Dutian Xuanming Formation]
"Intermediate Daoist Soldiers, huge potential."
"Regardless of whether they are Dutian Ghost Generals or Xuanming Yin Soldiers, raising these two types of Daoist Soldiers using the Dutian Xuanming Strategy is not complicated."
Lu Qingfeng felt joy in his heart.
Having deciphered the refining method of Dutian Xuanming Strategy, he could boost his own strength significantly in the game or in reality, and fear no coordinated attacks.
With his proficiency in arrays, he positioned the Daoist Soldiers in battle formations.
Confronting higher-level adversaries became trivial!
Looking towards the Dutian Ghost Generals and Xuanming Yin Soldiers before him, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
These were cultivated by the Bamboo Mountain Sect over many years, surviving by chance after great battles, nearly refined to their limits, outstanding among intermediate Daoist Soldiers.
Skilled in warfare, immensely powerful.
In reality, or in the game for the next life, Lu Qingfeng would not easily achieve this level when breeding such Daoist Soldiers.
But whether they were Dutian Ghost Generals or Xuanming Yin Soldiers, if fed with Heavenly Silver, their strength could be rapidly enhanced.
In reality.
What Lu Qingfeng lacked the least was Heavenly Silver.
"No rush in reality."
"This life—"
"Seven Beasts Small Divine Number!"
Lu Qingfeng calculated with his fingers, though without the Seven Birds or Seven Birds Feather in hand, he still glimpsed a trace of heavenly mechanisms under the obscured Heavenly Mechanism with the greatly enhanced Seven Beasts Small Divine Number.
"Dutian Ghost Generals."
"Xuanming Yin Soldiers."
"Hear my command, pursue and slay these six, cease only upon their death!"
Lu Qingfeng stretched out his hand into the air, and six figures materialized. A black-robed cultivator wielding a Black Rope, a domineering cultivator commanding five horses, a white-robed cultivator surrounded by three thousand Daoist Soldiers...
It was the Six Perfecteds from He Mountain Daoist!
"Your subordinates obey!"
The thirty-six Dutian Ghost Generals and nine hundred sixty Xuanming Yin Soldiers thunderously accepted the command. Rising up, they leaped and transformed into a wisp of black smoke, disappearing into the Bamboo Mountain Blessed Land.
Following the direction and aura given by Lu Qingfeng, they pursued the six Perfecteds.
"Dutian Ghost Generals and Xuanming Yin Soldiers are the suppression troops of the Bamboo Mountain Sect, hunting down a mere six Core Formation True Men is effortlessly easy."
Lu Qingfeng sat cross-legged, quietly waiting.
Two months later.
Southern Continent.
The Five Yin True Man was seated meditating in a mountain cave, a beast skin pouch hanging at his waist, silently cultivating.
Ever since the destruction of He Mountain Dao over a hundred years ago, the True Men from He Mountain Dao dared not show themselves. Although Lu Qingfeng was unseen, the Destroying Grain Pearl still circulated.
Like bereaved dogs, they left the original borders of He Mountain Dao, even moving away from the Kongchan Sect's area.
Hiding their identities, concealing their tracks.
Despite their trepidation, they remained untroubled.
On this day.
A Yin Wind blew, and the Five Yin True Man suddenly raised his head, looking outside the cave.
He heard the sounds of war drums and iron hoofs enveloping the cave. The Five Yin True Man took his Five Yin Bag and walked out, only to see dark clouds gathering in the sky as if Heavenly Soldiers were arrayed, and just as he emerged—
"Attack!"
An army charged forth.
Nine months later.
Bamboo Mountain Blessed Land.
Lu Qingfeng's eyes widened, three hundred sixty-five Nine Strategies Xuanhao Talismans arranged in the void. Amidst the flickering thunder, a part of the void opened. Lu Qingfeng reached into it, his True Yuan sweeping out, drawing out numerous Spirit Stones and materials.
Among them, a Jade Dishware flew out, landing in Lu Qingfeng's hands.
"Method for raising Fire Crow Daoist Soldiers!"
A smile spread across Lu Qingfeng's face.
[Daoist Soldiers: Fire Crow Daoist Soldiers]
[Grade: Low-level]
[Description: Cultivate Fire Attribute Demon Birds into Fire Crows, then by using a secret technique to extract the Essence from Fire Crows, refining Fire Crow Daoist Soldiers, capable of setting up the Fire Crow Formation.]
This was what the Fire Crow Daoist relied on to dominate the Bamboo Mountain Sea Domain, stationed on Yv Mountain Island contrasting equally with the Five Mountains Sect, Hundred Ghosts Sect, and Kongzhu Sect.
With three thousand Fire Crow Daoist Soldiers, unmatched among peers and holding a slight advantage even in cross-tier combat.
Lu Qingfeng had long coveted this.
Outside the Blessed Land, before dying, he quietly took note upon witnessing the fall of the Fire Crow Daoist.
After reviving, following the trail of the Fire Crow Daoist's aura and pushing the Derivation Technique, he found the Mustard Space, finally acquiring the method.
Upon entering this method into his attributes panel, aside from 'Dutian Ghost Generals', 'Xuanming Yin Soldiers', and 'Fire Crow Daoist Soldiers', 'Water Dao Soldiers' was also listed!
"Four Great Daoist Soldiers!"
Lu Qingfeng was mentally drained, yet he couldn't help feeling elated.
He continuously cast Great Divine Power, first deducing the whereabouts of six True Men under the obscure Heavenly Mechanism, followed by predicting the locations of the Water Daoist, Fire Crow Daoist, and their Mustard Space.
It consumed a tremendous amount of Heart Power.
Lu Qingfeng's face was pale and haggard, yet his eyes shone brightly.
In the next instant.
Lu Qingfeng waved his sleeve.
The "Heavenly Listening and Earthly Viewing Great Method" strengthened from the "Peeping Heaven and Earth Great Method" began to operate.
A scene appeared in the air—
A black-robed cultivator wrapped in black winds tore through the sky. A thousand Yin Soldiers and Ghost Generals arranged in a battle formation, encircling and descending.
The formation rotated.
Thunderclaps shocked the sky, filled with Xuanming's Mysterious Netherworld Energy, turning into Cold Rain that descended, isolating all directions.
"Six Paths Black Rope!"
The Six Paths True Man's face showed panic, he threw a black gleam with his hand. In the next instant, the black gleam collided with the cold rain, and the myriad of cold rain rolled back, first shattering the black gleam and then, like the sweeping Milky Way, irresistibly engulfed the entire Six Paths True Man.
The Mysterious Netherworld Energy burst forth.
In an assault, the physical body dissipated, and the Divine Soul was silenced.
No existence in heaven and earth!
...
Lu Qingfeng felt exhilarated, stood up, and looked up at the sky.
His eyes seemed to penetrate space, seeing the Blood Sea in the heavens of the Five Directions Realm.
He flipped and danced his palm, suddenly striking his chest, then forcefully spewed three large bowls of Heart Blood.
He drew talismans in the air, continuously crafting Blood Light Talismans that were imprinted in the air, instilling fear.
Lu Qingfeng was skilled in his technique.
Rising with another palm, transforming the palm into a blade, he chopped off his left arm and tossed it into the air. The left arm exploded, making the Blood Light Talismans in the air more condensed.
After a good half an hour.
Lu Qingfeng's vital energy declined, repeatedly spewing Heart Blood into the air.
Blood light flickered.
With a thought, Lu Qingfeng visualized the Blood Light from his life-ending injuries, picturing the heavenly Blood Sea.
Suddenly, the Blood Light Talisman trembled and disappeared into the void.
A corner of the heavenly Blood Sea stirred slightly. Strands of Demon Evil entwined like silk, turning ten miles of the Blood Sea gray.
The Blood Sea trembled, along with the ten miles of the Blood Sea, peeling off the blood threads together.
However, the blood threads merged into the Blood Sea, becoming one with it.
Even if ten miles of the Blood Sea were stripped, the blood threads still branded deep in the Blood Sea, on the Divine Soul. Nearly undetectable, like maggots in one's bones.
But this was for the average person.
Across the Blood Sea, a Demon Dao Giant needed only a thought to stir.
The blood threads faded, turning into dissipated blood light.
"Indeed."
Lu Qingfeng shook his head, unconcerned.
With his Spirit Void cultivation, even if he used Great Divine Power and Curse Techniques to curse the heavenly Blood Sea, it was as futile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
The gap was too vast.
Even bridging across from immortal to mortal.
Cursing with his own life, yet still laboring in vain, achieving very little.
"The Curse Technique isn't bad."
A familiar voice rang out, a will condensed within the Bamboo Mountain Blessed Land.
Lu Qingfeng, one-armed and lean, looked up, his eyes flickering with a cold gleam—
"I am the reincarnation of the War General under the Heavenly Court Thunder Department God Four Bright Gongbin Yuanjun. Bold Demon Dao, you dare to slaughter a whole Realm. I shall report to Yuanjun and claim your life!"
His voice echoed throughout the Blessed Land.
Despite being pale and bloodless, and even weaker after casting the 'Demon Evil Entangling Silk Divine Spell,' Lu Qingfeng spoke with power and righteousness.
"Cackles!"
"Four Bright Gongbin Yuanjun?"
"Curse your Fur Gods, I will capture them later, to keep you company!
A roaring sound boomed through the clear sky.
Blood light flashed.
The will descended.
Intending to capture Lu Qingfeng.
Lu Qingfeng's lips bore a slight cold smile, amused. The Qi around his body continually declined, and his cultivation rapidly regressed.
In a blink.
He turned to ash.
...
"Sixteen years later, start anew."
Random reincarnation.
Lu Qingfeng tried to exit the game and successfully logged off.
In reality.
The effect of the Fasting Pill had not yet passed, and Lu Qingfeng was still not feeling hunger. He stood up and moved his body.
Although the conclusion in the Five Directions Realm was somewhat hasty, it was inevitable.
The Blood Sea descended, under the great calamity, no player could log off.
Lu Qingfeng still had realities to attend to, even after taking the Fasting Pill, even if his Foundation Establishment cultivation could support ten days and a half months. In the game, that was just seven to eight years.
For the world-ending calamity, for the Heavenly Realm and Heavenly Court, seven or eight years were but a flick of a finger.
Lu Qingfeng could not wait for the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to descend to the mortal realm, drive back the Blood Sea, and save the Five Directions Realm.
He opted to reincarnate early, withdrawing himself from the situation.
As for the Five Directions Realm, it could only fend for itself.
"At least I made a huge gain this time, it wasn't a loss but instead a big win."
Lu Qingfeng reflected, sorting out what he had obtained.
Beyond the twenty-four Divine Skills and Great Divine Power.
The Thousand Machine Stone and Spirit Control Array were strengthened thirty times.
"Thirty enhancements, matched together, capable of giving birth to a Spiritual Wisdom no less than a common person."
These types of Puppets, unable to cultivate or considered life, but intelligent and lively, indistinguishable from common people.
Added to that they were puppet bodies, enduring loneliness, even more loyal and steadfast, unsuspecting of betrayal, many things could be entrusted to them in the future.
For Lu Qingfeng, rich in secrets, they were not without use.
The Supreme Level 'Luofu Sword Scripture' goes without saying.
Four great Daoist Soldiers could help Lu Qingfeng traverse the world; in times of danger, deploying one Daoist Soldier would be no different from his personal descent.
All in all.
This expedition was thoroughly rewarding, saving Lu Qingfeng countless efforts and energy.
He sorted it out and calmed his mind.
Lu Qingfeng strode out of the cave abode.
