Sword energy and claw marks landed on the ground, one of them cleaving a giant creature in half.
The other left a huge claw mark on the vast land.
Lu Qing could naturally tell that those were the origins of the Azure Dragon City claw marks and the One Line Sky sword marks.
After the sword energy and claw marks landed, he saw the strange beast Suanni opposite him staring at his front paws.
Above, a shallow sword mark appeared, from which a trickle of golden blood seeped out.
It fell downwards and eventually landed in a vast, flowing river.
"Good! As expected of a sixth-tribulation powerhouse, the Heaven-Breaking Sword Qi lives up to its name. Fellow Daoist 'Heaven-Breaking,' I have lost this move."
The mythical beast Suanni stared at the wound on its claws, then with a thought, it forced out a wisp of sword energy, and the wound was completely healed.
"Your Highness Suanni possesses an exceptional physical body. My meager sword energy can at most only scratch your skin; it is truly insignificant."
The "Breaking the Heavens" Taoist shook his head, seemingly not proud of it.
"It's already quite remarkable that it could hurt me," the mythical beast Suanni said calmly. "I have a Dao artifact bestowed upon me by my father to protect me. Even without activating it, it still has considerable defensive power."
Yet you were able to break through its defenses and injure my physical body.
Among those at the sixth level of the Primordial Spirit Realm, you can be considered top-tier.
"Your Highness Suanni is too kind."
The Taoist priest, known as "Breaking the Heavens," said modestly.
Whoosh!
Just as the man and the beast were talking, a commotion suddenly came from the vast river below them.
A huge whale leaped out of the river and then crashed back down, splashing water everywhere.
Immediately afterwards, several more grotesque-looking fish pounced on the whale beast.
Then, many more powerful underwater creatures rushed out and joined the battle.
They all seem to be fighting over something.
The "Breaking the Sky" Taoist was slightly taken aback at first, then he understood what was going on.
“Your Highness Suanni, it seems these native creatures are not foolish after all; they all know the value of your blood.”
The son of the "Ancestor Dragon," the Five Tribulations Beast Suanni, how noble is his bloodline?
Even the slightest trace would be enough to drive the native creatures of this small world mad.
"They're just a bunch of fools, but this is their chance."
The mythical beast Suanni, however, did not pay much attention to it.
The trace of blood just now was nothing to it, and it wouldn't bother with such stupid creatures that hadn't even developed any intelligence.
Upon hearing this, Daoist Potian nodded secretly.
Legend has it that most of the nine sons of the "First Emperor" were cruel, but this Prince Suanni was a rare exception, being gentle in nature.
Seeing it today, I can confirm it's true.
“Fellow Daoist ‘Breaking the Heavens’, this small world is too weak. With the slightest effort, the space will shatter. It is really not a good place to fight.”
Why don't we find another place and have a proper match?
At this moment, the mythical beast Suanni suddenly made a suggestion.
"Alright, I've been itching to have a match myself, let's find another place and have a serious spar."
Upon hearing this, Daoist Potian nodded directly.
The next moment, the figures of the man and the beast had already disappeared from the spot.
At that moment, Lu Qing's mind and consciousness abruptly withdrew.
When he came to his senses, he found himself back in his own body.
At the same time, a profound cultivation technique appeared in his mind.
However, Lu Qing had no time to pay attention to these things at the moment.
His mind was still reeling from the shock he had just experienced.
He hadn't expected that this time, the simulated inheritance he received would be so special.
Instead of receiving various insights and information as before, he was allowed to directly possess the body of the "Heaven-Breaking" Taoist and experience the detailed process of the sword strike he unleashed.
In other words, when he possessed the body of the "Breaking the Heavens" Daoist, it was almost as if he had personally unleashed that earth-shattering sword strike and experienced the divine power of a sixth-level primordial spirit expert.
The sense of awe was truly unparalleled.
After a long while, Lu Qing's emotions calmed down a bit, and he focused his attention on the inheritance he had just received.
After reading it, he was stunned again.
That was a peerless inheritance called 【Heaven-Shattering Sword Qi】.
Even just to get started, one needs to reach the initial stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
In other words, he is currently not qualified to cultivate this peerless inheritance.
"As expected of the inheritance of a powerful being at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, the cultivation threshold alone is so high."
After a while, Lu Qing came back to his senses, sighed for a moment, and then turned his attention to the inheritance of the Suanni Claw Seal.
After he chose to study, his mind went blank again for a moment.
When he regained consciousness, he saw an ordinary-looking Taoist priest holding a long sword standing in mid-air opposite him.
Sure enough, he possessed the body of the strange beast Suanni.
However, unlike when he possessed the body of the "Breaking the Sky" Taoist.
When he possessed the strange beast Suanni, his first feeling was...
strength!
An overwhelming and boundless power!
The physical body of the mythical beast Suanni is indescribably powerful.
It felt like the slightest movement could completely shatter this small world, causing spatial tremors and resulting in boundless disaster.
No wonder it said in the previous inheritance of the Heaven-Breaking Sword Mark that this small world was not suitable for use.
For them, sparring in this world is probably no different from fighting in an exquisite porcelain vase.
If they were to take it even slightly seriously, the battle would likely cause the space itself to collapse, the small world to break apart, and a major catastrophe to occur within a radius of thousands of miles.
There's not much to say about what happened next.
Lu Qing experienced the same thing again.
However, this time he experienced it from the perspective of the mythical beast Suanni, comprehending the process of it unleashing that claw mark.
Once the mythical beast Suanni and the "Breaking the Sky" Taoist left, Lu Qing's mind and will returned to his body.
At the same time, a new cultivation technique called 【Nine Seals of the Divine Dragon】 was also introduced into his mind.
Clearly, that was the hand seal technique inherited from the mythical beast Suanni.
However, just as Lu Qing had expected, this inheritance also required one to reach the Nascent Soul Realm before one could begin cultivating it.
Furthermore, the lineage of the 【Nine Seals of the Divine Dragon】 is incomplete, with only the cultivation methods for the first five seals.
It's probably related to the level of the mythical beast Suanni at that time.
After all, it was at the fifth level of the Primordial Spirit Realm when it used that hand seal technique.
Most importantly, this 【Nine Seals of the Divine Dragon】 inheritance has extremely demanding cultivation conditions.
That is, only beings who possess the bloodline of the "Ancestral Dragon" can cultivate.
Otherwise, if someone who doesn't meet this condition forces themselves to cultivate...
Either they couldn't find the right approach and couldn't achieve anything significant in their cultivation, or they were unable to withstand the backlash from the 【Nine Seals of the Divine Dragon】 and were annihilated, body and soul.
"The cultivation conditions for this 【Nine Seals of the Divine Dragon】 are really quite demanding."
After Lu Qing finished learning about the 【Nine Seals of the Divine Dragon】 technique, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
As expected of a cultivation method used by exotic beasts, it has many limitations.
Not only does one need to reach the Nascent Soul Realm to begin cultivation, but one also needs to possess the bloodline of the "Ancestral Dragon" to cultivate.
He had originally thought that even if he couldn't cultivate, he could pass it on to Xiaoyan and the Five Elements in the future.
It now seems that this idea is likely to fail.
Even if cultivation is impossible, the meaning revealed when the strange beast Suanni swung its claw in the inheritance illusion is still of great value.
Lu Qing estimated that even if he only comprehended the meaning of that claw strike, he could probably create a very good cultivation technique.
You must know that was the power unleashed by a Five Tribulations Beast.
If it weren't for the illusion being simulated through his supernatural abilities, even he would probably have found it difficult to withstand the terrifying mental impact if he had viewed it directly.
"Forget it. After all, it's a free inheritance, so we can't be too greedy. The 【Heaven-Shattering Sword Qi】 alone is already an unparalleled inheritance that countless Nascent Soul Realm cultivators dream of."
After a moment of regret, Lu Qing quickly came to terms with it.
After all, from the information he gleaned from the note using his supernatural abilities, he knew that "Ancestral Dragon" was a beast at the Ninth Tribulation level.
Such beings possess incredibly precious bloodlines; how could one possibly obtain them?
"wrong......"
Suddenly, Lu Qing paused, recalling a scene.
In the previous illusion of inheritance, the strange beast Suanni was injured by the sword energy of the "Breaking the Sky" Daoist. Then a wisp of golden blood seeped out and fell into the river, where it was fought over by many strange fish and beasts in the river.
Furthermore, when he first caught that dragon-bearded fish in the stream outside the village, it also showed that it contained a trace of dragon blood.

The combination of the two immediately gave Lu Qing a lot to think about.
He recalled how the Suanni had seen the many strange beasts in the river fighting over its blood, saying that it was a stroke of luck for those fools.
"That strange beast Suanni is one of the nine sons of the 'Ancestral Dragon'. Apart from the 'Ancestral Dragon' itself, there is probably no one whose bloodline is purer than itss."
I wonder who managed to snatch that strand of Suanni's bloodline back then.
Now, a hundred thousand years have passed. Has that bloodline continued to thrive and be passed down?
Lu Qing thought for a while, and finally shook his head.
After all, that happened 100,000 years ago, and it's impossible to verify now.
Moreover, so much time has passed, who knows if that bloodline has been diluted beyond recognition?
However, Lu Qing still kept this matter in mind.
After thinking for a while, Lu Qing felt that nothing had been overlooked, and then opened his eyes.
Then he saw Lin Zhirui standing far away, looking at him with a look of surprise and uncertainty.
"Zhi Rui, what's wrong with you...?"
Lu Qing was somewhat puzzled.
“Young master, when you were in seclusion just now, a terrifying aura of power was revealed on your body. This boy couldn’t withstand it and had to retreat.”
The sound of "Yan" echoed in Lu Qing's mind.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing immediately looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, Zhi Rui. I was so engrossed in my meditation that I couldn't control my aura."
"It's alright, young master Lu, have you finished your contemplation?"
Lin Zhirui smiled, not taking it to heart.
He knew, of course, that Lu Qing hadn't done it on purpose.
Ultimately, it was because the gap in cultivation between him and Lu Qing was too great, so he couldn't withstand even a slight aura being revealed.
"Well, we've finished understanding it for now. We can continue our journey."
Lu Qing summoned the golden boat.
Soon, he took Lin Zhirui into the air again and flew towards the Holy Mountain.
After crossing the Azure Dragon Mountains and officially entering the Central Plains, Lu Qing immediately felt a surge of energy.
The surrounding spiritual energy was incredibly dense, far surpassing that of other states.
Even Jiuli Village, which he had re-established with a grand formation, paled in comparison.
Only the spiritual veins beneath the Changhen Mountains have a higher concentration of spiritual energy than this place.
"As expected of the center of this world, the spiritual energy in this state is so concentrated." Lu Qing couldn't help but praise.
Lin Zhirui was also somewhat shocked.
He hasn't returned to Zhongzhou for a long time.
I never imagined that the spiritual energy here would have recovered to such an extent.
After sighing, Lu Qing's heart stirred again.
Upon entering Zhongzhou, he felt that the Earth Spirit Pearl and Fire Spirit Pearl in his brow acupoint both trembled simultaneously.
The three spiritual pearls that had been faintly present all along suddenly intensified one of them.
"It's that spirit pearl located in Zhongzhou. I can sense its location... in the direction of the Holy Mountain!"
After sensing it briefly, Lu Qing was initially surprised, then smiled.
What a coincidence! It was on the same route, saving him the trouble of taking a detour.
Immediately, Lu Qing activated his magic power, causing the golden boat to increase its speed once again, flying rapidly towards the Holy Mountain.
Then, as the vast mountain ranges and expansive territory below were crossed, Lu Qing's expression became increasingly strange.
He was finally certain when the outline of the holy mountain came into view.
What do you mean the spirit pearl's sensation came from the direction of the Holy Mountain? It's actually inside the Holy Mountain!
It's unclear whether it's hidden somewhere in the mountains or controlled by some holy lord.
As Lu Qing's thoughts raced, the golden boat, transformed into a stream of light, arrived at the sacred mountain a few dozen breaths later, stopping and hovering high in the sky.
On the sacred mountain, the three holy lords who were cultivating suddenly sensed an incomparably powerful aura.
They were all taken aback, jolted awake from their meditative state, and looked up in horror.
They only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lu Qing and Lin Zhirui on the golden boat.
They knew it was a guest, not an enemy.
However, the horror in their hearts had not completely dissipated.
Although I had anticipated Lu Qing's strength.
But when they actually faced Lu Qing, they still couldn't help but be shocked.
The aura that Lu Qing just emitted was truly terrifying.
It was far more terrifying than when they faced those two extraterrestrial beings.
"It is a great pleasure to have distinguished guests coming from afar. Fellow Daoist Lu's presence on the sacred mountain is truly an honor for our humble abode."
After calming himself down, the First Holy Lord spoke loudly.
At the same time, together with the second and third Holy Lords, they used their movement techniques to arrive at the top of the Holy Mountain.
Lu Qing piloted the golden boat, slowly descending from the sky.
After getting off the golden boat with Lin Zhirui, they collected it.
Upon seeing this, the three holy lords' expressions shifted slightly.
They knew something about this small golden boat.
Flying magical artifacts are rare to begin with, and golden ones are even rarer.
As far as they know, only one of the Supreme Elders of the Suspended Mountain possesses one.
But now it appeared in Lu Qing's hands, and its origin was self-evident.
However, none of the three Holy Lords said anything; instead, they smiled and looked at Lu Qing and the other person.
"Greetings to the three Holy Lords."
After Lin Zhirui came down, he immediately bowed respectfully to the three Holy Lords.
"No need for such formalities."
The First Holy Lord nodded in acknowledgment.
Lu Qing then bowed and said, "Young Fellow Daoist Lu, I have long admired your reputation. Today I am fortunate to meet you. You are indeed a heroic young man, a peerless genius, truly admirable."
"You flatter me, Your Majesty."
Lu Qing returned the greeting slightly.
Although he had conflicts with the Third Holy Lord, it did not prevent him from admiring what the three Holy Lords had done.
After all, the prohibition against the Innate Realm alone benefited countless ordinary people throughout the world.
