"...At that time, I will make you wish you were dead, and you will spend all eternity in the Avici Hell!"
With this cold and calm threat, the divine body of the Venerable Miaoyu finally crumbled and collapsed.
Under the continuous refinement of runes and seals, it eventually turned into nothingness.
Only that chill remained, seemingly still lingering in the hall.
However, Lu Qing's expression did not change at all when faced with the final threat from the Venerable Miaoyu.
When he decided to help Mo Hongyun break the curse, he was destined to offend this fourth-level primordial spirit.
Therefore, he didn't take this threat seriously at all.
In his view, this was more of an impotent rage of the divine body of the Venerable Wonderful Desire.
Moreover, he used a magic array to sever the connection between the opponent's wisp of divine will and his main body.
Whether the true form of this Supreme Being of Wonderful Desire can know the specific events happening here is another matter.
Even if we take a step back and assume that the supernatural abilities of a fourth-level Nascent Soul cultivator are truly beyond Lu Qing's imagination.
Even after the distracting consciousness on this side disappeared, the main body could still receive certain information, so Lu Qing was not afraid of it.
Having condensed a perfect golden core, he possesses the ability to be formless and shapeless, and can change his aura at any time, even the fluctuations of his divine soul.
Even if he stood in front of that Venerable Miaoyu, the other party might not recognize him.
It was precisely because of this confidence that Lu Qing was willing to help Mo Hongyun break the curse.
Otherwise, how could he have provoked such a formidable enemy for no reason?
After carefully examining the area with his special abilities, he confirmed that the divided spirit of Venerable Miaoyu had indeed been completely extinguished.
Lu Qing then made a hand seal, and the rune seal, which was several people tall, trembled slightly before splitting into countless runes that fell back into the magic array.
The array light barrier that had been surrounding them was also removed and disappeared back into the array.
After doing all this, Lu Qing used his soul to call upon Mo Hongyun, whose five senses were sealed.
The City Lord of Canglan, who was outside the formation, was already dumbfounded.
I watched this scene with a sense of awe and shock.
"They actually refined one of the Venerable Myriad Desires's avatars directly, completely annihilating even the avatar's consciousness?"
The Lord of Canglan City looked on in disbelief.
Even if the divided consciousness of a fourth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator is small, it shouldn't be something a Golden Core cultivator could handle.
However, he had just witnessed Lu Qing directly suppress and refine the divided consciousness of the Venerable Miaoyu.
Even from beginning to end, the Venerable Miaoyu was unable to put up any decent resistance before it disintegrated and completely vanished.
Every step was meticulously planned by Lu Qing, making it so effortless that it was unbelievable.
"OP, that's enough. Now you can return to your normal state of °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° mind."
Deep within her mind, Mo Hongyun, who was wholeheartedly guarding her spiritual light, suddenly heard Lu Qing's voice resounding from within her heart.
"That's Fellow Daoist Lu's voice. He succeeded?"
A sudden surge of joy welled up in Mo Hongyun's heart, and she recalled the sense of ease she had just felt in her soul.
Without hesitation, she immediately regained control of her body.
Once her mind returned to her body, Mo Hongyun immediately sensed a difference.
A feeling of complete unity, smooth and effortless movement throughout the body, and unparalleled ease immediately welled up in my heart.
She looked down and saw a strange red curse mark on her chest, a mark that had haunted her like a nightmare, bringing her countless painful memories.
It had completely disappeared by then, leaving no trace whatsoever.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, this is..."
Mo Hongyun stared blankly at her chest and asked in a daze.
“Hongyun, Fellow Daoist Lu has completely lifted your 【Joyful Heart-Eating Curse】.
Even the divided consciousness of the Venerable Miaoyu was refined and obliterated by him.
"The Lord of Canglan City said hastily."
Mo Hongyun suddenly looked up at Lu Qing.
Lu Qing nodded slightly and smiled, "You can rest assured now, Master. The 【Joyful Heart-Eating Curse】 has been lifted, and the Venerable of Wonderful Desire can no longer sense your location or control your destiny at will."
"Am I finally free?"
Upon receiving Lu Qing's affirmation, Mo Hongyun became completely lost in thought and murmured to herself.
The shackles of fate that had bound her for so many years, causing her immense despair, have finally been broken.
Mo Hongyun's first reaction was not elation, but rather a sense of bewilderment and confusion.
After being lost in thought for a while, Mo Hongyun suddenly knelt down with a thud and bowed deeply to Lu Qing.
"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Lu, for saving my life. I will never forget your great kindness!"
"Please rise, Master. There is no need for such a grand gesture."
With a gentle flick of Lu Qing's wrist, an invisible force lifted Mo Hongyun up.
"Over the past few days, the host has shown Lu Qing great kindness and support. I am simply returning the favor."
However, although the 【Joyful Heart-Eating Curse】 on you has been lifted, the Venerable Delight will definitely not let it go.
Therefore, you should leave Xiaocang Realm as soon as possible so that he cannot find you.
Furthermore, your karmic entanglement with him is quite deep, so it would be best if you wore a treasure that could shield you from karmic calculations.
In case he uses divination techniques to find your location.
Lu Qing slowly gave her instructions.
"That's right, Hongyun. That Venerable Miaoyu is a powerful being with the fourth level of the Primordial Spirit."
Even if they don't follow the path of divination, their ability to deduce cause and effect must still be extremely powerful.
This is something we still need to be careful about.
I have a magical artifact here called the Cause and Effect Bead. You should refine it and wear it.
As long as you wear it on your body at all times, even across the barrier of a vast world, the Venerable One of Desire will certainly be unable to calculate your location.
The Lord of Canglan City took out a thumb-sized chaotic-colored bead from his storage bag and handed it to Mo Hongyun.
"Thank you, Uncle."
Mo Hongyun accepted the Causal Bead without hesitation and began refining it.
She indeed did not possess any special treasures that could shield her from cause and effect; such treasures were extremely rare.
Those that reach the level of spiritual artifacts are even rarer.
Even in her treasure pavilion, there was no such treasure.
Lu Qing went through so much trouble to finally remove the curse seal from her.
She couldn't let all her efforts go to waste because of her own fussiness.
Before sending out the Cause and Effect Pearl, the Lord of Canglan City had already erased the mental image within it.
Therefore, Mo Hongyun easily imprinted her divine soul mark on it, successfully refined the Causal Pearl, and wore it on her body.
Upon seeing this, the Lord of Canglan City smiled, finally feeling relieved.
Only then was Mo Hongyun truly safe.
Even the Venerable Miaoyu could no longer find her.
"Master, I think that with the domineering nature of that Venerable Miaoyu, he will definitely not swallow this insult and may very well descend to the mortal realm in his true form."
So you'd better leave as soon as possible; Xiaocangjie is really no longer a suitable place to stay.
Lu Qing advised.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lu, I had already disbanded the Treasure Pavilion before I came here."
The precious treasures and spirit stones were also distributed among the elderly residents of the building, so I can leave at any time.
However, Mo Hongyun smiled and said something that surprised Lu Qing.
"You disbanded the Treasure Pavilion, huh?" Lu Qing asked in surprise.
“That’s right, so Fellow Daoist Lu, you don’t need to call me ‘Lord’ anymore. Just call me by my name, Hongyun.” Mo Hongyun said with a smile.
Lu Qing sighed.
As expected of a woman who single-handedly built such a large business as Treasure Pavilion, her courage and determination are not something that ordinary people can possess.
"Hongyun, where do you plan to go in the days to come?" the City Lord of Canglan asked. "Actually, the safest place should be our Nangong family."
Even if Venerable Miaoyu is incredibly powerful, he would never dare to cause trouble in our Nangong family.
If you stay in the Nangong family...
The Lord of Canglan City wanted to persuade Mo Hongyun, but when he saw Mo Hongyun's cold eyes, his voice gradually weakened, and he dared not persuade her any further.
Seeing that her uncle wisely shut up, Mo Hongyun then looked away.
She sighed, "Wherever I go, it doesn't matter. Now I have no more attachments. Perhaps leaving Xiaocang Realm is better for me."
Over the years, because of the existence of the 【Joyful Heart-Eating Mantra】, I have been unwilling to actively practice it.
Thinking about raising one's cultivation level to a higher level, what good would it do? It would still benefit others.
But now, I want to travel around and cultivate myself properly.
If I am fortunate enough to reach the Nascent Soul Realm in the future, I will be able to fully control the Profound Yin Jade Body.
Perhaps no one will be able to control my destiny anymore.
Looking at the expression on Mo Hongyun's face, Lu Qing thought for a moment.
He then took out a jade talisman from his Qiankun Qi Bag.
"Master, please accept this talisman, refine it, and store it in your dantian's golden core."
It should help you change your aura, making it difficult for others to see through the mysteries of your Profound Yin Jade Body.
"Can this talisman conceal the aura that has altered my Xuan Yin Jade Body?"
Mo Hongyun looked at the jade talisman in Lu Qing's hand in surprise.
“That’s right. After you refine it, unless someone uses their divine soul power to examine your body closely, even someone at the Nascent Soul Realm should have difficulty detecting the peculiarity of your physique,” Lu Qing nodded.
The jade talisman he gave out was based on the formless and shapeless transformation ability of his own perfect golden core.
This is a transformation rune that I deduced by combining my own expertise in the art of runes.
Xiao Li and the Five Elements were able to remain undetected even under the watchful eyes of a Nascent Soul Realm expert.
The key was the transformation talisman that Lu Qing personally cast on their demon cores to conceal the transformation.
"To think that such a wondrous talisman exists! Fellow Daoist Lu's mastery of talismans is truly astounding."
Mo Hongyun was overjoyed and immediately began refining the jade talisman after receiving it.
He then stored it in his dantian.
Immediately afterwards, with a slight thought, her aura changed.
The aura that was originally somewhat aloof and alluring vanished completely, becoming completely ordinary.
Even the City Lord of Canglan, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, felt that Mo Hongyun's aura had changed drastically.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have dared to confirm, based solely on the aura he sensed, that this was his niece.
"Good, very good!" The Lord of Canglan City was overjoyed. "With the Causal Bead and this talisman, Hongyun, you won't have to worry about others seeing through your secrets when you travel outside."
Mo Hongyun was even more excited.
What has always troubled her the most is her Xuan Yin Jade Body.
This innate ability to act as a furnace for others makes one far too easy to be coveted.
Even when traveling, she remained vigilant, making sure no one discovered her Xuan Yin Jade Body.
But now, with the talisman given to her by Lu Qing, the probability of her being discovered has been greatly reduced.
How could she not be excited?
If she had had such a talisman back then, she probably wouldn't have been exposed and entangled by that old bastard, Venerable Miaoyu.
Once she had calmed down a bit, Mo Hongyun took out a storage bag from her person.
"I have no intention of repaying Fellow Daoist Lu's kindness. Please accept this storage bag."
"OP, this is..."
Lu Qing did not immediately take the storage bag, but instead looked at the other person.
"There are only some spirit stones inside. I think Fellow Daoist Lu values spirit stones quite a bit."
Over the years of operating my Treasure Pavilion, I haven't accumulated much in other areas, but I have a considerable amount of spirit stones.
Therefore, I hope Fellow Daoist Lu will accept it.
Otherwise, having received such great kindness from you, Fellow Daoist Lu, and yet having received nothing in return, I would find it truly difficult to at peace.
Looking at the seriousness on Mo Hongyun's face, Lu Qing paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled and took the storage bag.
"In that case, I shall accept your offer without hesitation."
Seeing that Lu Qing had accepted the storage bag, Mo Hongyun finally smiled.
The rest of the time was much simpler.
Lu Qing took out the 108 high-grade Golden Core level talismans from the ground and put them away.
Then erase the traces of the array on the ground.
The grand formation he set up this time was a temporary simulation.
But the results were surprisingly good.
Even a wisp of a fourth-level Nascent Soul cultivator's spirit could be trapped, suppressed, and completely refined.
This was undoubtedly a major breakthrough for his mastery of rune arrays.
This formation might be of great use to him in the future.
Therefore, he could not allow others to easily discover the secrets of the formation.
"Young Fellow Daoist Lu, your mastery of formations is truly astounding."
Legend has it that truly powerful array masters possess unfathomable abilities.
Given enough time to set up formations, they are even capable of moving mountains and overturning seas, and fighting against opponents of higher levels.
Today I've truly witnessed it firsthand.
When the Lord of Canglan City saw Lu Qing erasing the array marks on the ground, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, recalling the scene he had witnessed earlier.
He recalled the scene where Lu Qing had crushed Gongshu Yu.
I increasingly sensed Lu Qing's mysterious and unpredictable nature, as well as his formidable strength.
He now even suspects that if Lu Qing is given enough time to set up his formation, even if he recovers from his injuries, he might not be able to defeat him easily.
"Lord City Lord, you flatter me. This time, it was a case of my intentions being met with surprise, coupled with the arrogance and underestimation of the enemy by Venerable Miaoyu."
Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy to trap and refine him.
Lu Qing humbly shook his head.
"Regardless of the circumstances, Fellow Daoist Lu, you managed to refine and annihilate the demise of a fourth-tribulation primordial spirit powerhouse with your golden core body."
If this matter were to get out, it would likely cause a sensation even in the Upper Realm.
