Chapter 422: Thousand Yuan World, Confrontation

“Junior Brother once used the Myriad Dharma Palm here, slaying several Xiantian Realm cultivators.”

Following the red line of cause and effect, the gray-robed man emerged from the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains and stopped on a hillside at the edge.

Watching the scene deduced by the Eight Trigrams magic weapon, he knew his junior brother had used magic here.

He watched the fear and despair on the faces of the Xiantian Realm cultivators before they were crushed to death.

The gray-robed man’s expression remained calm, for he had witnessed similar scenes many times along the way.

With a wave of his hand, he dispelled the scene deduced by the Eight Trigrams magic weapon and was about to continue following the red line of cause and effect.

Suddenly, he felt something was amiss. He turned and looked down, startled.

“This village…”

The gray-robed man, with his immense cultivation, saw at a glance that the village below was surrounded by a formation.

In such a remote and barren place, a village protected by a formation.

This immediately struck the gray-robed man as something amiss.

Just as he was about to use some means to uncover the village’s true nature.

The next moment, his pupils shrank.

A streak of light suddenly flew out of the village and, in the blink of an eye, was right in front of him.

As the light faded, a young man appeared, seemingly standing in the air dozens of feet in front of him, observing him calmly.

“Golden Core Realm!”

the gray-robed man was startled, alarm bells blaring in his heart as realization suddenly dawned on him.

He stared intently at Lu Qing, “You’re the one who killed my junior brother, right?”

“You’re talking about the young man in white robes?” Lu Qing stood in mid-air, his hands behind his back, and said calmly, “Yes, I killed him.”

The gray-robed man’s eyes suddenly turned cold, a chilling murderous intent emanating from him, spreading all around.

Suddenly, a violent wind rose from the sky, its overwhelming pressure shaking away the clouds within a ten-mile radius.

The golden core’s fury shifted the sky and clouds.

At the Golden Core Realm, the mana of the golden core was infused with the power of the laws, capable of influencing the laws of heaven and earth and affecting celestial phenomena to a certain extent.

Such a commotion naturally couldn’t be hidden from the village’s old doctor, Lin Zhirui, and the others.

Everyone rushed out of their houses, stunned upon seeing Lu Qing and the gray-robed man in the sky.

“It’s the senior brother of the white-robed man!”

Lin Zhirui recognized him immediately, his origins awestruck.

“Is it the senior brother of the white-robed man from a few days ago?!”

Wei Shanhai and the others were even more horrified upon hearing this.

Looking up at the sky, they felt a suffocating sense of the terrifying might emanating from the gray-robed man.

They had imagined that the white-robed man’s companions would one day come knocking on their door, but when that day finally arrived, they realized their initial preparation was far from enough.

The aura emanating from the gray-robed man was far more terrifying than that of his junior brother.

If it weren’t for the protective formation, they wouldn’t have been able to withstand his aura.

“Young Master Lu, can you withstand such a terrifying force?”

Everyone felt completely uncertain.

Only the old doctor remained significantly calmer than the others, for he knew that Lu Qing had entered the Golden Core Realm, his strength greatly increased.

A powerful force surged within the old doctor, his mind connected with the core of the formation, and he quietly activated the formation protecting the village to its maximum power.

“So, you also took the treasure from the secret realm?”

the gray-robed man stared at Lu Qing, questioning him, his heart growing increasingly wary.

He realized he couldn’t fathom the depths of the young man

before him. Although he also exuded a faint Golden Core Realm aura, he couldn’t discern his true cultivation level.

There are generally only two possibilities for this situation.

One possibility was that Lu Qing’s cultivation level far surpassed his own.

Another was that Lu Qing possessed a rare treasure that could shield others from prying eyes and conceal his true level.

Neither of these two possibilities was good news for the gray-robed man.

Furthermore, the possibility that his junior fellow had fallen at his hands made him even more fearful.

As for Lu Qing’s appearance, he wasn’t surprised.

At their level of cultivation, changing one’s appearance, maintaining youthful beauty, and so on, shouldn’t be easy.

In his world, even powerful souls preferred to appear as children.

Lu Qing didn’t respond to the gray-robed man’s question, and he showed no concern for his murderous intent.

He simply watched him quietly, his information beginning to register within his field of vision.

[Wu Qianfeng: True Disciple of the Tianxin Sect of the Thousand Yuan World.]

[Cultivation: Intermediate-grade Golden Core, Fourth Stage of Golden Core.]

[The Thousand Yuan World, located in the northern border of the Great Yuan Immortal Realm, is considered the pinnacle of the entire Great Yuan Immortal Realm.

[Possessing rare treasures, he possesses exceptional escape abilities.] [

He bears a deep hatred for you because you killed his junior fellow apprentice.]

…

Seeing the message on the man’s body, Lu Qing understood.

This man and the white-robed youth were indeed from the same sect.

When he had used his supernatural powers to probe the white-robed youth’s information, he had revealed himself to be a disciple of the Tianxin Sect of the Thousand Yuan World.

However, the Thousand Yuan World…

Lu Qing remembered that the demon cultivator’s spirit now imprisoned in the Lihuo Cauldron had hailed from a previous life in a vast world called “Tianyuan.”

Now another Thousand Yuan World had emerged, along with the Great Yuan Immortal Realm…

As expected, the world outside was far more vast than he had imagined.

“Boy, how dare you be so rude!”

The gray-robed man, seeing Lu Qing’s apparent disregard for his words, felt a sense of fear, but also a surge of anger.

While he wasn’t as extreme as his junior apprentice, treating the natives of this world like pigs and dogs, he didn’t hold them in high esteem either.

The native Jindan before him dared to ignore his words. How could the gray-robed man not be furious?

At the same time, he felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart.

Those eyes seemed quite unusual.

Just being looked at made him feel completely seen through.

Overwhelmed with unease, he couldn’t help but roar.

“Yes, I took the treasure from the secret realm,” Lu Qing said calmly. “Sir, there’s no need to test me. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.

Since you’ve come, let’s settle all our grievances today.”

Lu Qing thought of the deceased elders in the village, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.

He extended his arm, fingers spread wide, and with a surge of his mind, he pried open the laws of heaven and earth.

Suddenly, the laws of heaven and earth trembled, and spiritual energy surged.

The next moment, a scene that shocked everyone unfolded.

A massive, magical palm, shimmering with a glazed light, formed before Lu Qing and blasted towards the gray-robed man with the force of thunder.

“Myriad Dharma Palm?!”

The gray-robed man was horrified, his eyes filled with disbelief.
