Chapter 1264: Chapter 772: Curtain Falls and Departure (2)

The Sword Master spoke, and with a wave of his big hand, the treasure ship that Yu Jian and the others were aboard quickly shrank, with both people and ship falling into the Sword Master’s sleeve.

Then the Sword Master nodded slightly towards the beautiful woman in white, and took a step forward; the fluctuation of the spatial laws occurred, and his figure vanished from the spot.

The beautiful woman in white, seeing this, did not hesitate. She also collected her treasure ship, along with Qing Xii and other disciples, into a basket.

In the next moment, her figure blurred and slowly dissipated from the spot.

From start to finish, neither of them paid attention to the Pavilion Master of the Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal and the black-robed elder not far away, nor did they engage in conversation or interaction.

"Those two fellows are indeed still so arrogant, as usual."

The pink-clothed, foxy woman sneered.

Having said that, she too grabbed her treasure ship and teleported away.

Only the black-robed elder from the Netherworld Palace remained on the spot, shaking his head helplessly.

After so many years, these individuals’ tempers are still so unchanged, almost the same as when they were young.

"Master, what should we do now?" Hei Ming asked at this time.

"Naturally, we’ll return too. Once we’re back, tell me in detail about the remaining matters."

The black-robed elder understood his disciple’s nature, knowing that there were surely some matters he hadn’t explained clearly.

However, with many eyes here and now, it would not be too late to inquire further once back at the Netherworld Palace.

Finally, he gazed deeply at the now completely closed Returning Ruins Secret Realm, and the black-robed elder also led Hei Ming and the others away.

With the departure of the last Unity Realm Great Power, the Primordial Spirit experts of other factions finally felt some relaxation in their heart and spirit.

However, they didn’t hesitate much either and immediately activated their Star Sky Treasure Boats, scattering away as if fleeing for their lives.

Even those initially stationed outside, hoping to take advantage of the chaos, lost any intention of looting now.

After all, within the Star River Formation nearby, there’s a terrifying being capable of injuring Mo Cangtian severely.

Who knows if an ensuing battle would provoke that being to make another move.

Moreover, they had heard previously that the forces entering the secret realm had neither gained any real harvest, making it even less necessary to act.

Very quickly, this originally bustling expanse of the starry sky became empty and returned to peace.

Only the Silent Extinction Star Sea beside it continued to shimmer with starlight.

"What a pity; that old rascal had some skill, couldn’t directly suppress and kill him."

Within the Immortal Palace, the Black Bull regretfully swung its hooves, seeming dissatisfied with his performance.

It was precisely its strike that sent Mo Cangtian flying and injuring his essence.

"Stop boasting. Unity Realm experts aren’t so easy to slay. Even if your realm was one or two minor levels higher than his, if he wholeheartedly wants to escape, it’s unlikely you can kill him," Ming Feng said dismissively, giving no face.

"It’s because my true self can’t leave here. Otherwise, for a mere Unity Initial Realm expert, even if I can’t kill him, I could make his essence greatly depleted, unable to recover for ten thousand years," the Black Bull defended.

"That still means you can’t suppress and kill him." Ming Feng said coldly.

"You..."

"Alright, stop arguing, lest you make Ah Qing laugh."

Seeing the two starting to bicker again, Elder Azure Dragon felt some headache and quickly intervened.

The Black Bull and Ming Feng looked at Lu Qing aside and finally snorted coldly in unison, ceasing their dispute.

Lu Qing witnessed this scene but maintained a calm facial expression, observing his nose and heart as if he hadn’t seen anything.

In his heart, he was also contemplating the events just now.

A while back, Elder Azure Dragon informed him that the Returning Ruins Secret Realm was to close early.

After leaving his Cave Mansion, he was swiftly teleported here by Elder Azure Dragon.

He then witnessed the events outside the Star River Formation.

Unexpectedly, the incident of him killing the Black and White Temple’s disciple led to the convergence of five Unity Realm experts.

If it weren’t for gaining the recognition of Elder Azure Dragon and the others, allowing him to reside in the Immortal Palace.

If he had also followed everyone out, he feared he’d already be controlled and captured by those Unity Realm experts.

Although his current strength doesn’t fear anyone within the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Yet after witnessing the clash between the Black Bull and Mo Cangtian previously, he also realized that there remains a chasm-like gap between himself and genuine Unity Realm experts.

Even if he reached the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit, it still wasn’t certain he could withstand a single strike from Mo Cangtian.

The disparity between major realms isn’t easily crossed.

Unless he could, like the Golden Core Realm, surpass limits and step into the unprecedented Primordial Spirit Tenth Tribulation.

Then perhaps there would be a chance to recreate the invincible prowess of the Golden Core Realm and reverse battle across realms against Unity Realm experts.

Thinking this, Lu Qing’s desire to rapidly elevate his cultivation became even more steadfast.

"Elder Azure Dragon, since the secret realm is now closed, may I leave here?" Lu Qing asked.

"Ah Qing, do you wish to leave the Immortal Palace?" Elder Azure Dragon inquired.

The Black Bull and Ming Feng also turned to look over.

"Yes." Lu Qing nodded candidly, "I have family and friends outside; if I don’t return for too long, they would certainly worry about my safety.

Also, the Immortal Mountain Cave Mansion within the second layer space no longer offers much help to my cultivation.

If I wish to continue advancing my cultivation, I fear I’ll have to go outside to seek cultivation resources."

Upon hearing this, Elder Azure Dragon and the others’ expressions became somewhat embarrassed.

They naturally understood the situation with Lu Qing’s cultivation over the past few years.

Indeed, those Immortal Mountain Cave Mansions in the second layer space couldn’t further enhance his cultivation.

Now, each cave mansion rich in spiritual energy could only sustain Lu Qing’s cultivation for one or two days before its spiritual charm dwindled.

Only after a period of restoration could he resume cultivating.

Even if he completely absorbed the spiritual energy of an entire cultivation cave mansion, the growth in his cultivation remained minuscule.

The terrifying extent of resources required for Lu Qing’s cultivation far exceeded Elder Azure Dragon and the others’ estimation.

Nonetheless, to think that such a prestigious Immortal Palace couldn’t supply its own disciple’s cultivation needs still left them somewhat shamefaced.

"In fact, with the secret realm now closed, the Immortal Palace’s spiritual energy will gradually increase over time, Ah Qing. You might continue cultivating for a while without rushing out." Elder Azure Dragon explained.

"It’s not just about the amount of spiritual energy." Lu Qing shook his head, "My mana is highly pure now; regular spiritual energy can hardly advance my cultivation.

I’ve conducted some experiments, and now only spiritual objects of the same level as top-grade spiritual stones suit my cultivation needs."

"Top-grade spiritual stones, alas, when the Master left, he took all the spirit stones inside the Immortal Palace with him. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have to fret about cultivation resources." Elder Azure Dragon sighed.

"No need for that, senior. The Master has already left behind enough opportunities; I’m exceedingly grateful, and shouldn’t be greedy by asking for more." Lu Qing stated solemnly.

"When do you plan to leave, Ah Qing?"

Elder Azure Dragon was quite satisfied with Lu Qing’s attitude.

At least Lu Qing remained very respectful towards the Master, never displaying any disrespect.

"I’m planning to leave once Little Li finishes his secluded cultivation." Lu Qing replied.

Precisely during Little Li’s seclusion, he could tend to other remaining matters himself.

"Alright. I see Little Li’s cultivation is almost complete. When he comes out, I’ll send you both away."

Elder Azure Dragon nodded, not saying words to dissuade Lu Qing.

He also understood, considering the current circumstances at the Immortal Palace, it couldn’t provide Lu Qing with further assistance.

If Lu Qing wants to advance further, he’ll really have to go outside.

As for the Black Bull and Ming Feng, they, too, said nothing.

Indeed, they had long anticipated Lu Qing’s departure.

It’s just unexpected that this day came earlier than originally estimated.

In the ensuing time, peace returned inside the Immortal Palace.

Lu Qing returned to his Cave Mansion within the second layer space of the Immortal Palace to cultivate.

As Elder Azure Dragon said, with the secret realm closed, linked with this, the spiritual energy within the Immortal Palace became much richer.

Yet it still offered little benefit to Lu Qing’s cultivation.

A month later, Little Li finally ended his seclusion.
