This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

But it's this tiny bit that is the final bottleneck...

No matter how many common spirit materials are absorbed, it's futile, as they cannot assist in completing the last step of transformation." Lu Qingshan gazed at the misty peach blossoms and thought secretly.

It's extremely difficult to cultivate a pseudo-Dao Artifact.

The first 99% is just an accumulation of quantity, although difficult, it mostly requires more time.

But the last 1% is a qualitative transformation, which requires some truly rare treasures of heaven and earth to break through the bottleneck.

And such level of rare treasures is always priceless and unavailable, not something that can be exchanged with battle merits, and not even found in the Sword Sect's treasury.

To obtain them, one must rely on chance.

However, fortune is always a mysterious matter.

Perhaps it will come in the next moment, or perhaps it may never come in a lifetime.

Lu Qingshan shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and slowly stood up.

......

Time slowly passed.

During this period, the human cultivators at Yumen Pass remained on high alert.

Although the Demon Race frequently mobilized their demonic cultivators, they strangely remained quiet, not launching further wars.

But the human side clearly dared not to relax.

After all, Chi Venerable is still stationed in Incessant City, still not leaving.

The calmer the wind before the storm, the more terrifying its sudden outbreak.

Everyone understands this principle.

The threat of the Demon Race is like a shadow looming over the hearts of all the cultivators at Yumen Pass.

Even the Qingyun Sword Immortal could not rest easy during this time.

The city felt overwhelmed by dark clouds.

The scariest thing in the world is the unknown.

No one knows what the Demon Race intends to do this time.

......

......

The sun rises in the east, sets in the west.

In this turbulent autumn of the seventh year of Tianyuan, Yumen Pass is not the only place on the verge of conflict.

Over in the Central Heavenly Realm, seemingly to avenge the Xuan Venerable who fell in the Human Realm, the Giant Spirit Demon Clan also launched a war.

The offensive was far fiercer than at Yumen Pass.

For the first time, the Giant Spirit Demon Clan employed Eighth Grade Demon Cultivators!

Understand that once forces of Seventh Grade or above are deployed, the expansion of war becomes inevitable.

Thus, during this period, Yanlan Pass in the Central Heavenly Realm has been engulfed in flames of war, with all small and medium-sized forts being eradicated by the Demon Race.

The Demon Race further used this as a base to radiate their influence outwards, sweeping against human cultivators in the outer battlefield.

Even though the Great Xia Imperial Clan and Heavenly Secret Pavilion immediately recalled wandering cultivators from the outer battlefield to return quickly to Yanlan Pass, the human side still suffered heavy losses.

At this time, cultivators in the Central Heavenly Realm are relying on Yanlan Pass to confront the Demon Race.

Both sides employed various tactics, engaging in numerous bloody battles, and the struggle gradually became deadlocked.

Fortunately, the great formation of Yanlan Pass was strong enough, and the Giant Spirit Demon Clan was not yet ready for a desperate fight, so although the war intensified, it hasn't reached the scale of the second Taoist-Demon War.

Apart from the Central Heavenly Realm and the Eastern Domain, another realm is equally tormented.

That is the Central Spirit Domain under the control of the Rinsing Spirit Sect.

The Heart Demon Clan has not yet launched a war, but intelligence indicates that they have dispatched a large number of demonic cultivators to the outer battlefield.

It seems that war is only a matter of time.

The only consolation is that compared to the sudden attack of the Demon Race in the Eastern and Central Heavenly Realms, the actions of the Heart Demon Clan seem traceable, allowing Central Spirit Domain cultivators to prepare and respond in advance, rather than being caught off guard.

News from the Three Domains has made the other four temporarily calm domains also wary, all entering a state of combat readiness.

No one dares to take the Taoist-Demon war lightly, or harbor any illusions.

As winds rise in the outer battlefield, the territories of the Human Realm are equally unsettled.

After taking over Zhishou Tower, Shui Yue Pavilion Master, in coalition with the power of Heavenly Secret Pavilion, Zhishou Tower, and Great Xia, targeted the underworld cultivators in the Central Heavenly Realm, launching a sweeping campaign with Qing King's followers as the breakthrough point.

With lightning speed, in just a month, the underworld in the Central Heavenly Realm was almost entirely eradicated, and forces quickly expanded to the other Six Domains.

The large-scale operation by Shui Yue Pavilion Master seemed to provoke the Netherworld.

All of a sudden, the underworld in the Six Domains erupted simultaneously, wreaking havoc and causing trouble across human lands like a cornered beast.

This caused some trouble for the Human Realm, but it was quickly quelled.

Because, within the Human Realm, the power of the Netherworld is truly not enough to be reckoned with.

The concealed underworld is the fearsome one.

Once they disregard everything, expose themselves openly, and wantonly cause chaos and slaughter, they may cause some loss to the Human Race, but that would be all, and soon they would be suppressed by human cultivators.

Therefore, in less than three months, this malignant tumor of the Netherworld, which had developed within the Human Race for ten thousand years, was uprooted by Zhishou Tower.

Finally, this turbulent autumn slowly passed.

The seventh year of Tianyuan is approaching its final season.

Winter.
