Chapter 300 The Third Holy Lord, His Divine Power Integrates Heaven and Earth!

“Hmm?”

Lu Qing raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised to see his sword energy blocked.

He followed the direction of the sword energy and saw a white figure suddenly appear on a rooftop not far away.

It was a young man with snow-white hair and white clothes. He

stood with his hands behind his back, but his aura was very restrained, like an ordinary person.

However, no one dared to regard him as an ordinary person. He could restrain his aura to such a degree, hide from the detection of all the powerful, and climb onto the rooftop silently. No matter how you look at it, he couldn’t be an ordinary person.

Even more, upon seeing the white-clothed figure clearly, some couldn’t help but exclaim, “The Third Saint Lord!”

“What? This is a Saint Lord?”

“Sure enough, I told you. With such a commotion in the city, how could the three Saint Lords not be alerted?”

“It looks like Master Xuanming will escape this time.”

“The Third Saint Lord has taken action. He’s always hated evil, and this young man is in trouble.”

Many of the onlookers had seen the three Saint Lords on the Holy Mountain before, and they immediately recognized him.

In the dark corner, the shadowy figure was startled again, his eyes filled with uncertainty. “This guy is one of the three Saint Lords. Why does he look a little off?”

“Why is the Third Saint Lord here?”

High in the tower, the Lord of Tianji Tower was equally surprised upon seeing the white figure.

Concern welled up in his heart: “Of the three Saint Lords, the Third is the more assertive. Young Master Lu, please don’t provoke him.”

But despite his concern, the Lord of Tianji Tower didn’t dare to send a message to Lu Qing.

Although he had reached the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm, only a step away from Perfection, and had considerable experience in cultivating his spiritual power, he

was still unable to conduct telepathic communication across a distance of a hundred meters within the Holy City, where an invisible force was suppressing him.

Furthermore, the realms of the three Holy Lords were unfathomable, and he felt he could not match them every time he met them.

Even if he could conduct telepathic communication, he would not be able to conceal it from the Third Holy Lord.

“Holy Lord?” Lu Qing’s heart trembled at the words.

Was this one of the three mysterious Holy Lords atop the Holy Mountain?

At that moment, within his sight, a golden aura of supernatural power emanated from the white-clothed figure, and several notes slowly emerged.

[Bai Qingfeng: The Third Holy Lord of the Holy Mountain, with a strong character and a strong personality.]

[Cultivation: Peak Foundation Establishment. Due to a chance encounter, he gained the recognition of the Holy Mountain’s will, greatly increasing his strength within the Holy Mountain, comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator.

The person before him wasn’t his true form, but a puppet Dharma body possessed by his spirit and soul, capable of unleashing the power of the consummated Xiantian realm. The Three Sacred Lords of the Holy Mountain, while recognized by the Holy Mountain ‘s

will and blessed with great fortune, were also subject to constraints. Their true forms could not leave the Holy Mountain precincts until they achieved enlightenment and ascended to the Immortal Realm.

…

“Puppet Dharma body?”

After reading the message in his field of vision, Lu Qing understood.

No wonder even he hadn’t immediately noticed the white-clothed figure’s arrival. The figure before him wasn’t a living being, but a puppet Dharma body.

Given the other person’s peak Foundation Establishment spirit and soul, concealing their aura was a piece of cake.

Lu Qing was also familiar with puppet Dharma bodies.

Records of this were found in the Lihuo Sect’s traditions.

In the previous era of immortal cultivation, a sect known as the Tiangui Sect was renowned for its expertise.

It was said that their meticulously crafted puppet Dharma bodies were not only indistinguishable from real people, but even the most advanced could cultivate independently, a truly miraculous feat.

However, a puppet Dharmakaya capable of autonomous cultivation is incomparably precious, even rarer than a spiritual weapon.

Even the original Tiangui Sect only managed to refine one.

Legend has it that this puppet Dharmakaya was forged by chance.

They subsequently expended countless efforts and tried every possible means to reproduce it, but never succeeded.

The puppet Dharmakaya possessed by the Third Saint Lord before them was clearly not the Tiangui Sect’s highest-level masterpiece, but rather some standard puppet Dharmakaya.

“Greetings, Third Saint Lord!”

Confirming the arrival of the Saint Lord, the innate masters saluted.

The surviving monks of Xuankong Mountain cried out, “Saint Lord, this man is an evil demon! Slay him now!” However

, the Third Saint Lord ignored the greetings and the monks’ cries, instead turning to Lu Qing. He

said calmly, “Please do me a favor and spare Xuanming and the others this time.”

Everyone immediately turned their attention to Lu Qing.

The Third Saint Lord personally asked for mercy, but I wonder how this young man would respond.

A hint of joy appeared in Xuanming’s eyes.

“Saint Lord, are you going to interfere in the feud between me and Xuankong Mountain?

It is said that the Holy Mountain only cares about the general situation of the world and never asks about other people’s personal grudges.

Is this just empty talk?”

Lu Qing did not answer immediately, but asked instead.

Everyone looked at Lu Qing in shock, as if they did not expect that he would dare to question the Third Saint Lord in public.

“It’s bad!”

The Lord of Tianji Tower on the high tower became anxious when he heard Lu Qing’s words

. The Third Saint Lord has a strong character and always keeps his word.

Lu Qing’s questioning of him would definitely cause him to be disgusted.

Just when the Lord of Tianji Tower was anxious,

he saw that the Third Saint Lord was silent for a moment in the face of Lu Qing’s questioning.

He then said, “I once owed the abbot of Xuankong Mountain a favor. I can’t bear to see Xuanming die here. If you can grant me this favor, I’ll consider it my debt.”

The Third Saint Lord’s attitude surprised not only the warriors, but

even those who knew him well, like the Tianji Tower Master, were astonished.

When had he become so easy to talk to?

Was this still the same stubborn, hard-nosed Third Saint Lord they knew?

Everyone’s eyes turned once again to Lu Qing.

They had witnessed Lu Qing’s previous display of dominance and arrogance.

Now that the Third Saint Lord had lowered his stance,

they wanted to see if this young man would grant him this favor.

Facing the gazes of so many powerful figures, Lu Qing’s expression remained unchanged.

“It seems the Saint Lord is determined to intervene in the feud between me and Xuankong Mountain?”

“I’m doing this for your own good. While your talent is astonishing, the depth of Xuankong Mountain’s heritage is beyond your imagination.

If you create a mortal enmity with them, you will surely regret it in the future,”

the Third Saint Lord advised.

However, upon hearing this, Lu Qing laughed. “Why, does the Holy Lord not think that the feud I’ve established with Xuankong Mountain is mortal?”

The Third Holy Lord paused, glancing at the corpses of the Xuankong Mountain elders lying around him.

He saw the smile on Lu Qing’s face and understood. “So, there’s no room for negotiation?”

“I respect the Holy Lord, but I also hope that the Holy Lord will respect the Holy Mountain’s position and refrain from interfering in the feud between me and Xuankong Mountain,” Lu Qing said earnestly.

The surrounding Innate Realm experts stared at Lu Qing in amazement.

Though surprised by his response, they also felt it was inexplicably expected.

Given Lu Qing’s persistent toughness, it would have been unusual for him to compromise.

The Third Saint Lord quietly observed Lu Qing, his expression finally becoming a bit more stern. “What if I insist on taking them away?”

“Then I, a humble junior, will have to learn from Senior Saint Lord’s superior tactics.”

Lu Qing gently waved his hand, and a surge of Qi erupted, swirling the air and drawing the sword stuck in the ground towards him.

“I, too, would like to witness the true power of a consummate Xiantian.”

With the long sword in hand, Lu Qing exuded an unparalleled aura.

The sharp blade’s power pierced the skin of all the Xiantian masters, sending chills down

their spines. They were all shocked and terrified.

It seemed as if Lu Qing’s aura was even stronger than before.

“It has indeed come to this,”

the Tianji Tower Master sighed, his premonition having come true.

The Third Saint Lord was a forceful individual, but he also perceived Lu Qing’s character as incredibly stubborn.

If these two met, it would be strange if tempers didn’t boil over.

“Senior Tower Master, that senior in white looks quite formidable. Will Brother Lu Qing be at risk?”

Ma Gu asked anxiously.

The others shared a look of worry.

“Don’t worry. While the Third Saint Lord may have a bit of a strong personality, he’s a fair-minded person. At most, he’ll inflict some hardship on Young Master Lu, but won’t harm his life,”

Tianji Tower Master reassured them.

“You want to fight me?” The Third Saint Lord was somewhat surprised.

“Senior, please teach me.”

Sensing Lu Qing’s fighting spirit, the Third Saint Lord remained silent for a moment

before speaking. “Well, it seems I can’t take him away without a fight.

But I’m not used to bullying the weak. How about this? I’ll exchange three moves with you.

If you can force me back even half a step within three moves, I’ll leave this matter alone.”

With that, he vanished from the rooftop. When he reappeared, he was standing in front of Monk Xuanming, only three feet away from Lu Qing.

“Then don’t blame me for offending you!”

Seeing the Third Saint Lord land, Lu Qing’s eyes narrowed. The sword in his right hand suddenly transformed into a ball of white light. In an instant, he unleashed countless slashes.

A torrential storm of

sword energy swept towards the Third Saint Lord. The ferocity and swiftness of the sword energy made all the innate realm masters shudder.

“Interesting! Your swordsmanship has truly grasped the true meaning of [Intention].”

The Third Saint Lord gazed at the storm of sword energy unleashed by Lu Qing with approval.

“However, such tactics are useless against me.”

Facing the sweeping storm of sword energy, the Third Saint Lord didn’t even draw his weapon.

He simply extended a finger and gently pointed it forward.

And with this gesture, something shocking happened.

The sword energy that Lu Qing had unleashed was frozen in time, frozen in place, unable to advance an inch.

“Disperse!”

After stopping the sword energy, the Third Saint Lord softly uttered a single word.

The next moment, the raging storm of sword energy was swept away by an invisible wave, swiftly dissolving and ultimately vanishing completely.

This move immediately astonished everyone.

All the innate realm experts who witnessed this scene stared wide-eyed, almost unable to believe their eyes.

They had never expected that Lu Qing’s powerful sword energy storm could be so easily dispelled by the Third Saint Lord.

They couldn’t even discern the method the Third Saint Lord had employed .

Seeing the Third Saint Lord’s effortless demeanor, all the experts were filled with awe.

This was the Saint Lord, the Lord of the Holy Mountain, whose power had commanded the world for thousands of years, commanding the reverence of countless sects!

Only those born in secret places and possessing extensive experience could discern even a hint of the profound mystery within.

“The divine mind merges with heaven and earth, and his domain is self-formed. As expected, the Third Saint Lord’s cultivation realm is unfathomable!”

Taoist Yangming marveled as he watched the Third Saint Lord effortlessly dispel Lu Qing’s sword energy.

“Shen Rong Tiandi, the Third Saint Lord’s cultivation has reached this level?

No wonder Master always expresses admiration when mentioning these three Sacred Mountain Masters.”

The eldest brother from the Cloud and Water Secret Realm was similarly astonished.

In the shadows, a dark figure trembled slightly. “Shen Rong Tiandi, how could this fellow’s spiritual realm be so high? Didn’t his spiritual weapon just revived?”

“Domain?”

Lu Qing wasn’t surprised to see his sword energy easily broken by the Third Saint Lord.

In a duel between masters, sword energy and sword qi aren’t the most important offensive means.

He hadn’t expected to force the Third Saint Lord back with just a storm of sword energy.

Instead, he gazed at the fading sword energy, lost in thought.

While the opponent’s methods were profound, he felt a sense of familiarity.

This was how Master usually felt when he unleashed his innate domain.

It was just that the opponent’s use of the domain was even more advanced than Master’s.

This was how he could easily and without a trace of fireworks, completely dissolve his sword energy.

“What, do you want to continue?”

After dispersing Lu Qing’s sword energy, the Third Saint Lord didn’t continue his attack. Instead, he stood with his hands behind his back, speaking calmly.

“Of course, it’s rare to be able to fight against a master as great as you, Senior. How could I give up

so easily?” Lu Qing said with a smile. “Then continue your attacks, but this time, I won’t hold back.”

Seeing Lu Qing’s reluctance to give up, the Third Saint Lord finally felt a tinge of impatience.

“Senior, go ahead. I’m quite experienced in saving my life.”

Lu Qing remained unconcerned, his long sword gently swung.

The next moment, he had broken through the earth, his figure like a bolt of lightning, lunging towards the Third Saint Lord.

A murderous aura surged from him, and his sword, like a flash of lightning, slashed towards the Third Saint Lord.

Faced with Lu Qing’s swift strike, the Third Saint Lord’s expression finally changed slightly.

He could sense that the power of Lu Qing’s strike was no less than that of a true master of the Innate Realm.

With just that move, he wouldn’t be able to easily block this blow again

. After all, the spiritual power he infused into this puppet was limited.

Even if he could perform the move of “Melting the World with the Soul”, his spiritual power was insufficient and it would be difficult to restrain Lu Qing.

After realizing this, the Third Saint’s eyes became more serious.

A long sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
