Chapter 535: Chapter 39: The 3-Month Period_3
A moment later, Master Wang was also stunned and somewhat bewildered, “Great Xia accuses Lu Qingshan of assassinating their officials and demands a battle with a Void Refining Late Stage cultivator against Lu Qingshan three months later?!”
The subsequent developments of the matter were so bizarre that they dared not even contemplate them.
…
In the Central Heavenly Realm, inside the Heavenly Secret Tower.
At the place where the four lists were finalized, Lin Yao and Spirit Moon were integrating the latest intelligence information that had emerged in the Observing Heaven Realm, which served as the basis for the latest rankings of the four lists.
Although the information was complicated, for the Spirit Cultivators who diligently cultivated their Primordial Spirit, integrating it was actually not very resource-intensive, and they managed it with ease.

Moreover, the unusual anecdotes were also very interesting to both of them, so naturally, they enjoyed it.
After organizing the intelligence from the Three Domains of Central State, Spirit Moon’s gaze swept over to the Eastern Domain.
There, nearly a thousand points of golden light were flickering continuously, all representing intelligence worth noting.
“Near the Sword Sect, there’s actually a golden light appearing this time?” Spirit Moon discovered that there was a spot of golden light appearing near the Sword Sect.
For another Taoist Sect, Spirit Moon naturally paid more attention to it than to others.
Without a second thought, she clicked on that spot of golden light, and then, as if she had seen something shocking, her expression shook, and she stood frozen in place.
Lin Yao, who was busy nearby, initially hadn’t noticed anything unusual.
Only after a moment did she realize that her chatterbox sister disciple, who usually never stopped talking like a Hundred Spirits Bird, had been silent for quite a while, so she turned her head.
Then, she too saw the message displayed on the Observing Heaven Realm.
“On the 26th day of the eighth month of the fourth year of Tianyuan, Disciple of Sword Sect Lu Qingshan, upon his return to the Sect, was suspected to have encountered the Deputy City Lord of White Tower City, a Void Refining Late Stage Sword Cultivator, Gui Yuan True Venerable, and ended up successfully killing in self-defense.”
“On the 31st day of the eighth month of the fourth year of Tianyuan, Marquis Luotang of Great Xia and Supervisor Wang Yan from the Lin’an Court, visited the Sword Sect to thoroughly investigate the death of Gui Yuan True Venerable… Marquis Luotang and Lu Qingshan set a three-month appointment… After three months, Lu Qingshan will face Marquis Luotang’s son, Luo Yi, a Void Refining cultivator, in the Martial Hall of the Martial Debate Hall in the Central Celestial Realm’s Taoist Sect.”
The two looked at each other.
…
The well-informed received this news almost immediately.
But soon, with the help of those with vested interests, the news spread throughout the world like a boiling wave.
The conflict between the Sword Sect and Great Xia;
Lu Qingshan, the leader of the Seven Domains’ doctrine debate, caught in the controversy of assassinating Great Xia’s officials;
A Nascent Soul Late Stage actually going to face a Void Refining Late Stage cultivator in the Martial Hall of the Martial Debate Hall in the Central Celestial Realm.
Each of these three pieces of news was significant, each with potential for great impact.
Not to mention the combination of the three, it was like a gust of wind, rapidly spreading, instantly sweeping across all Seven Domains of the Human Race, stirring up a huge uproar.
All domains were suddenly in turmoil, with waves rising and clouds gathering, creating great upheaval, with cultivators from all sects abuzz with discussions, even the Taoist Sects could hardly remain calm.
A newly listed disciple from the Sword Sect had managed to create such a momentum and attract so much attention, something probably no one had expected.
…
Inside the bamboo cottage.
Lu Qingshan took out two jade boxes from the Storage Ring.
In the left jade box, there lay a translucent jade leaf, obtained from the ashes of the Life Thunder tree.
This was an item of intent imbued with the Causality True Intent.
In the right jade box were unripe Life Thunder fruits.
Lu Qingshan was pondering.
The Life Thunder fruit would greatly benefit the enhancement of his Immortal True Intent, so he was definitely going to consume it.
As for that jade leaf…
His Causality True Intent had stalled in an incomplete realm for quite some time; with this jade leaf, there was a high likelihood of attaining a thorough understanding, truly mastering this Primordial Intent.
But he hesitated slightly.
As previously mentioned, intents greatly enhance a cultivator’s combat power; comprehending one more new intent would also mean gaining more strength.
Moreover, this was a Primordial Intent.
The issue was, while having many comprehended intents had its advantages, it also had its downsides.
To advance from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Void Refinement Realm, a Nascent Soul cultivator must bring all his comprehended intents to the Perfection Realm.
Primordial Intent was immensely powerful, and correspondingly, advancing it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Even a genius like Ji Chuan was stuck for quite some time because of the Samsara Sword Intent.
And he, Lu Qingshan, already possessed one Primordial Intent: the Immortal True Intent.
If he were to comprehend another Primordial Intent of Causality now, the pressure of his advancement to Void Refinement would become enormous, and he might even be stuck in the Nascent Soul Stage for a long time.
The Demon Race might erupt at any moment with a second invasion; if he were delayed for too long in the Nascent Soul Stage because he could not perfect his intents, it would be something Lu Qingshan could not tolerate.
…
“Young master, are you hesitating whether to use this jade leaf?” Qin Yitian noticed Lu Qingshan’s indecision and asked.
Lu Qingshan nodded, “Yitian, what do you think I should choose?”
“Young master, don’t ask me, ask yourself,” Qin Yitian said delicately.
“Ask myself…” Lu Qingshan paused, then seemed to understand.
Wasn’t he pursuing strength? Why was he suddenly having doubts now?
What was there to worry about? It was just another Primordial Intent.
The heart’s direction lies in breaking through, fearless, nothing can stop it.
Advancing relentlessly is the way of a Sword Cultivator.
Lu Qingshan found his answer.
He opened the left jade box.
Inside the jade box, a translucent jade leaf shimmered brilliantly, carved like mutton fat jade, with an inexplicable mystique flowing through it.
Without further hesitation, following his heart, Lu Qingshan calmed his mind and submerged his consciousness into the jade leaf…
