Seeing several "Third Holy Lords" at the same time, Lu Qing was slightly surprised at first.
It was immediately apparent that those figures were not real living beings.
Instead, it was the same as the "Third Holy Lord" he saw when he first came to the Holy City, a puppet Dharma body.
"Puppet Dharma body?" Lu Qing's heart moved.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the Third Saint, who was practicing sword, turned his body and saw a figure beside him out of the corner of his eye.
He was shocked, but only felt relieved when he saw that it was Lu Qing.
"Hello, Fellow Daoist Lu."
The third holy lord stopped practicing sword, and several puppet bodies stood in place, while his real body came forward and saluted Lu Qing.
But he was still shaken.
Judging from Lu Qing's appearance, he had obviously been watching him practice sword for a while.
He didn't notice it at all even at such a close distance.
It can be imagined that the gap in strength between him and Lu Qing is so huge that it is unimaginable.
"Is this the power of a high-grade magical elixir?" The Third Saint Lord thought to himself.
Ever since they learned that the magic elixir was divided into three grades, the three brothers had privately discussed which grade of elixir Lu Qing had condensed.
The final conclusion is that Lu Qing's magic golden elixir is at least of high-grade mid-level, or even a true top-grade golden elixir.
Otherwise, everyone is in the Jindan stage who has just passed the tribulation, there is no reason why the difference in strength would be so huge.
"It seems that your sword skills have improved a lot during this period of time." Lu Qing said with a smile.
The sword energy that the Third Saint Lord just displayed already had a hint of the essence of the sword he had used the previous time.
I guess the other party has also been practicing hard over the past month.
"Thanks to the sword intent recorded by you, Brother Lu, I have benefited a lot from it." The Third Saint Lord said sincerely.
“Sword Intentions are only a reference after all. Seniors can gain insights from them and integrate them into their own swordsmanship.
This shows that you, Senior, have your own unique insights on the way of the sword."
The third holy lord was named Bai Qingfeng. Lu Qing had detected this with his supernatural powers when he first came to the Holy City, so he was not surprised.
After the two chatted for a while, Lu Qing once again turned his attention to the figures on the edge of the cliff.
"Senior Saint Lord, are these puppet Dharma bodies?"
The Third Saint Lord was surprised: "Daoyou Lu also knows about the puppet Dharma body?"
"I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it. The one that the Holy Lord and I fought against should have been one of these puppet bodies, right?" Lu Qing said with a smile.
"Young Daoist Brother Lu has a sharp eye." The Third Saint Lord said admiringly.
At that time, Lu Qing had just entered the innate realm, and his realm was far inferior to his, but he could actually see through his puppet body.
Seeing Lu Qing looking at those puppet bodies, the Third Saint Lord's heart moved slightly.
"Little Daoist Brother Lu, are you interested in the Way of Puppetry?"
"Indeed, a little bit." Lu Qing did not deny, "This puppetry is quite magical, and its application to the soul seems to be unique."
Especially when he saw the third Holy Lord doing several things at the same time, controlling several puppet bodies to practice sword skills with himself, Lu Qing was very curious.
The third holy lord thought for a moment and suddenly took out a jade slip.
“Little Daoist Fellow Lu, this jade slip contains part of the inheritance of the ancient Immortal Sect’s Puppet Sect.
Among them are methods of controlling and refining puppets, as well as methods of controlling puppets.
Since Fellow Daoist Lu is interested, why not take it and study it for yourself?"
"Senior, is this appropriate?"
Lu Qing was a little surprised when he looked at the jade slip handed over by the Third Saint Lord.
"Little Daoist Brother Lu, please don't be polite. Although the inheritance of the Way of Puppetry is good, it is nothing compared to the guidance you have given to the three of us brothers. Just accept it."
The Third Saint's words were not just polite remarks, but what he truly believed.
Since receiving Lu Qing's guidance last month, the three brothers' cultivation has made great progress in the past month.
When practicing, there is no hindrance at all, everything is clear.
Even my eldest brother, a few days ago, reached the level of the first level of golden elixir.
It seems that the distance to the perfection is not too far.
Therefore, the three brothers truly understood how precious and rare Lu Qing’s guidance was.
With Lu Qing's guidance, they even felt that even if they continued to practice to the third level of the Golden Core, they would not encounter too much confusion.
The Third Saint's earnest words made Lu Qing silent.
After a few breaths, he smiled and took the jade slip.
"In that case, I would be disrespectful to refuse."
The Third Saint was so sincere that if he hesitated any further, he would appear hypocritical.
Besides, he was indeed quite interested in the art of puppetry.
Seeing Lu Qing taking the jade slip, the Third Holy Lord also smiled.
If there is only one-sided giving or taking in the interactions between people, it is doomed to be unsustainable.
You need human connections to maintain relationships.
The two chatted for a while, and Lu Qing began to say goodbye so as not to disturb the Third Saint Lord from continuing his practice.
After returning to the cave, Lu Qing took out the jade slip.
Turn on your supernatural powers and look up.
Soon, a faint purple supernatural light emerged from the jade slip.
Several notes floated out.
[Inheritance Jade Slip: A special jade slip that records information about cultivation. 】
[This jade slip records part of the inheritance of the ancient immortal cultivation sect Puppet Sect.]
[The Puppet Sect, which mainly controls puppets for combat, was also a very special sect in the previous era of cultivating immortals.]
[Discover inheritance, do you want to simulate downloading? 】
Looking at the floating message, Lu Qing directly chose to download it.
[Downloading, current progress...]
A quarter of an hour later, the ability prompts that the simulation has been downloaded and asks whether to continue learning.
Lu Qing directly chose to study.
The next moment, a large amount of insights emerged from the depths of his mind. Lu Qing closed his eyes and began to absorb and comprehend quietly.
After a long time, when Lu Qing opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of surprise.
"The inheritance of this Puppet Sect is really peculiar."
The jade slip given by the Third Saint Lord was indeed just as he said, it only recorded part of the Puppet Sect's inheritance.
The main records are about the method of refining the puppet's Dharma body and the method of controlling the puppet.
However, the highest level of puppet Dharma body recorded in the jade slip can only reach the initial stage of the Golden Core Realm.
Moreover, the refining of each puppet body requires a large amount of rare materials.
Even if Lu Qing wanted to refine it now, he was powerless.
Therefore, he just pondered it for a while and then put it aside for the time being.
What really surprised Lu Qing was the method of controlling the puppets.
The Puppet Sect's method of controlling puppets is a rather peculiar method of cultivating the soul.
It is called peculiar because this method of practice is different from the general method of cultivating the soul.
It first needs to differentiate a wisp of spiritual power in the eyebrow acupoint, and then use a unique method to nurture it into a spiritual seed.
After the soul seed is fully nurtured, it can exist independently outside the main body and carry the main body's consciousness and power.
The more powerful the soul seed that is cultivated, the greater the power it can carry.
Apart from its strength, the aura of the spirit soul seed is no different from that of the original body.
The reason why no one could see the clues of the puppet body of the third holy lord that Lu Qing encountered at the beginning was that.
This is because the soul seed within the puppet's body comes from the same source as him.
"Soul-dividing technique, soul seed..."
Lu Qing pondered the inheritance of the Puppet Sect. The more he pondered, the more he could feel the mystery of it.
"The senior who created this method was truly an amazing talent."
“Unfortunately, according to the records in the jade slip, the Soul Splitting Technique cannot be performed too many times. Each cultivator can only perform the Soul Splitting Technique nine times at most.
And every time the soul is divided, the original soul will become weak and it will take at least half a year of rest before it can fully recover.
Although with the strength of my soul, it should take less than half a year to recover after the split.
But there will still be periods of weakness.
The Holy Conference is about to be held, so it is not suitable to practice this technique."
After some contemplation, Lu Qing temporarily put aside his thoughts on practicing the Puppet Sect's techniques.
But he was still very happy in his heart.
His intuition told him that the Puppet Sect's martial arts had great potential.
If it is deduced and explored properly, it may have the chance to become a very remarkable method.
As to whether this is really the case, it will depend on his personal practice in the future.
After calming down, Lu Qing entered the state of cultivation again.
There is no sun or moon in the cave, and Lu Qing has been immersed in spiritual practice.
One day, he was suddenly awakened by a loud bell.
Just as he was about to find out what was happening, a streak of light flew in from outside the cave.
Lu Qing saw clearly that it was a flying communication talisman, so he reached out and took it off.
When the power of the soul probed inside, it immediately became clear.
"I see. Is the Holy Meeting officially about to begin?"
He walked out of the cave and came to the cliff in front of the holy mountain, looking up at the huge holy city underground.
But he didn't rush down immediately.
The three Holy Lords had told him in advance that this holy meeting was of great importance.
It concerns the future destiny of all people in the world.
The various sects and forces in the world will definitely have disputes at the Holy Conference for their own interests.
The Holy Lords intend to try to resolve these disputes with gentle means so that the Holy Conference can develop in a good direction.
As for Lu Qing, he just needs to guard them from behind for now and there is no need to show up immediately.
"But can it really be resolved peacefully?"
Lu Qing felt the holy city below begin to become restless and shook his head.
After the revival of spiritual energy, the rules of heaven and earth no longer suppress the practice of practitioners all over the world.
Nowadays, I don’t know how many practitioners have broken their own limits, stepped into the realm they have always dreamed of, and mastered powers that they once dared not to imagine.
Powerful force is the best catalyst for ambition.
Those sectarian forces that have always been under the leadership of the Holy Mountain are unlikely to be so easily obedient again.
Just as Lu Qing was thinking, in the Holy City, after a huge bell rang, the entire city began to become agitated.
The powerful men in the bases of many sects and forces all looked up at the huge platform in the center of the holy city.
"Is it finally going to start?"
"Hahaha, let's go. Whether our Guiyuan Sect can become the overlord of Zhongzhou depends on this time!"
"I want to see what those three old monsters are up to."
"Your Majesty, will you appear in this holy meeting?"
As the lingering sound of the bell faded away, personnel from various major sects and forces also walked out of their bases and headed towards the huge platform in the center of the holy city.
A powerful and solemn atmosphere permeated and collided in the city, creating invisible whirlwinds.
This shows that something unusual will definitely happen at this holy meeting.
The atmosphere in the city was solemn, but outside the city, it was noisy.
Those acquired warriors who were not qualified to enter the Holy City also understood after hearing the bell that the Holy Conference was about to officially begin.
Everyone's face showed an expression of great excitement.
"The Holy Assembly is finally about to begin! Who knows what incredible things will happen during this Holy Assembly."
"According to records, the last meeting was held more than a thousand years ago. In the end, the Holy Mountain defeated all the heroes and became the ruler of the world. It formulated many prohibitions. I wonder who will be the ruler of the world after this Holy Meeting."
"This is a holy gathering that only happens once every thousand years. It's worth my life to be able to witness such a grand spectacle!"
Although they couldn't see the situation in the city, the warriors outside the city couldn't help but stretch their necks and look into the city.
Accompanied by a solemn atmosphere, the major sects and forces finally arrived in front of the huge platform in the center of the holy city.
The next moment, a powerful aura of pressure suddenly descended.
Three streams of light flew out from the Holy Mountain, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived above the Holy City and landed.
The light dissipated, revealing three figures, who were the three Holy Lords.
Feeling the faint golden elixir pressure emanating from the three Holy Lords, the many powerful people present couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
According to rumors, the three holy masters all survived the heavenly tribulation and achieved the realm of Golden Elixir True Person.
But it is just a legend and has never been confirmed.
Now that I see it, it is indeed true.
However, not everyone was shocked by the pressure of the golden elixir emanating from the three holy masters.
On the contrary, there were strong men who had also entered the Golden Core Realm. When they felt the auras emanating from the three Saint Lords, they narrowed their eyes and said, "There seems to be something wrong with the auras of these three old monsters."
"My fellow believers."
Under the gaze of many powerful men, the First Saint Lord smiled and spoke slowly.
“Thank you all for coming from afar to the Holy City to attend this Holy Assembly. It has been more than a thousand years since the last Holy Assembly was held.
Time flies, but in my heart, everything seems like yesterday.
It is just sad to see that there are only a few of the old people who attended the holy meeting back then.
The old man is now gray-haired and very old.
Only then did I realize that time is like a knife, and that time is merciless and cannot be escaped by any practitioner. "
After saying this, the smile on the First Saint's face slowly faded, revealing a sigh.
The sigh in the words made many powerful people underground feel sad.
Before the changes in heaven and earth and the revival of spiritual energy, practitioners in the world could only cultivate to the innate realm at best.
The maximum lifespan of the Xiantian realm is five hundred years.
In other words, the predecessors who participated in the Holy Assembly more than a thousand years ago have basically exhausted their lifespans and turned into dust.
Among those senior masters, many are the ancestors or forefathers of the strong people present.
So when everyone heard the words of the First Saint, they couldn't help but be infected by his emotions and felt sad.
Only those strong men who were in the Golden Core Realm at the same time felt this atmosphere and suddenly became alert.
