Chapter 879: Chapter 85 The 3rd Person in History_3
Lu Qingshan focused on his calculations, trying to grasp everything thoroughly, not wanting to miss a single detail.
He gradually beca engrossed, forgetting external matters, extracting the essence of swordsmanship, strengthening himself, and increasing his accumulation.
The Primordial Spirit in his brow sea began to shine.
Spirit-Awakening Holy Light.
An unimaginable great creation.
…….
Shi Wu Demon Venerable’s residence.
The steward was reporting the news to Shi Wu Demon Venerable.
“Qing Ge participated in this ancestral worship ceremony, and after it ended, he clashed with Ying Jie?” Shi Wu Demon Venerable frowned.
“What was he doing?”
“Qing Ge doesn’t seem like soone so unwise,” Shi Wu Demon Venerable mused.
Although he leaned towards Ying Jie, he had so goodwill towards Qing Ge.
Qing Ge, although not as good as Ying Jie, could still be considered a prodigy.
Having a son-in-law like this, who wouldn’t be satisfied?
Therefore, if possible, he wanted both.
However, if Qing Ge and Ying Jie really had irreconcilable conflicts, he could only treat Qing Ge as a discard.
“Was the conflict severe?” Shi Wu Demon Venerable asked.
The steward replied, “Quite severe, Ying Jie seems very angry.”
Shi Wu Demon Venerable lightly tapped his fingertips on the table, feeling the situation was difficult, contemplating how to deal with Qing Ge.
At this mont.
A guard hurriedly arrived from outside, reaching the door, and said, “Lord Demon Venerable, I have urgent matters to report!”
Shi Wu Demon Venerable raised his head, “Co in and speak.”
The guard quickly pushed open the door and entered, kneeling on one knee, loudly saying, “Reporting to the Demon Venerable, Zhonghe Demon Venerable sent a ssage, Qing Ge at the Sword Commanding Stage, triggered the change of the Warfare Stele!”
Shi Wu Demon Venerable was suddenly taken aback, then a peculiar expression appeared on his usually calm face, “What did you say?”
The guard’s face turned an unhealthy red, swallowed, and in a trembling voice, said, “Qing Ge triggered the Warfare Stele, and like Lord Ying Jie, comprehended the Mang Cang Warfare!”
The steward’s breath beca rapid, he suddenly looked up at Shi Wu Demon Venerable.
“Lord Demon Venerable, this….”
Shi Wu Demon Venerable fell silent.
A godly light shot from his eyes, making it impossible to look directly at him, his emotions complex.
He didn’t know whether to be happy or worried.
In the past three thousand years, two prodigies appeared in just a few days.
One was his grandson, the other his future son-in-law.
But these two were precisely at odds with each other.
And under his favoring, their conflict had further intensified, reaching an irreconcilable point.
Originally, it didn’t matter, at worst, he would treat Qing Ge as a discard.
Although abandoning such a son-in-law was sowhat regrettable, compared to Ying Jie, Qing Ge was still too insignificant.
Now, Qing Ge unexpectedly added such a crucial bargaining chip!
Things were becoming strange.
“Lord Demon Venerable, do you want to go to the Sword Commanding Stage to have a look?” the steward cautiously asked.
When Ying Jie comprehended the Mang Cang Warfare, Shi Wu Demon Venerable personally attended and waited for a long ti.
This showed his importance to Ying Jie.
Shi Wu Demon Venerable pondered for a mont, then finally shook his head and said, “I am sowhat tired, I won’t join the excitent.”
The steward remained silent but understood in his heart.
If forced to choose between the two, Shi Wu Demon Venerable would still lean towards Ying Jie.
This was easy to understand.
Comprehending the Mang Cang Warfare was a condition both had.
But comparing other aspects, one was his future son-in-law, the other his grandson, there’s a difference in closeness.
One had mixed blood, the other pure blood. Although bloodline wasn’t an unchangeable issue, why abandon an existing pure blood and choose a potential pure blood?
In the end, Shi Wu Demon Venerable had already shown his favor towards Ying Jie.
If he suddenly switched sides because Qing Ge also comprehended the Mang Cang Warfare, wouldn’t it be a slap in his own face?
A Demon Venerable cared about his dignity.
However, the steward also understood that although Shi Wu Demon Venerable’s heart leaned more towards Ying Jie, from now on, he would no longer regard Qing Ge as an insignificant pawn, but would instead strive to diate between the two.
Even if they could not be reconciled, at least enough benefits would be given to stop their confrontations.
….
Sword Commanding Stage Holy Land.
The demonic cultivators who were originally preparing to leave felt the abnormality here and turned back in unison.
It was hard to hide the shock on their faces.
As ti passed, more and more people who did not participate in the ancestral ceremony received the news and rushed over.
The Sword Commanding Stage beca increasingly lively.
They frequently cast their gazes towards Ying Jie and Hong Lie Demon Lord.
Despite the father and son trying hard to suppress their emotions, the gloom in their eyes was unmistakable.
“This is getting interesting,” soone sighed slowly.
The situation had transford from an overwhelming dominance to a near equal balance.
After triggering the change in the Bloodstain Battle Technique Stele, although Qing Ge’s status was still sowhat lower than Ying Jie’s, it was only by a tiny margin.
Ying Jie could no longer arbitrarily suppress and spite him like before.
Looking at the constantly shifting bloodstains on the Bloodstain Battle Technique Stele and hearing the whispers of others, Ying Jie’s face was expressionless, but his heart seethed with endless anger.
His hands clenched tightly, his sharp nails even digging into his palms, causing a faint pain.
At this mont, the divine light on the Bloodstain Battle Technique Stele gradually faded, and the writhing bloodstains returned to their original positions.
“It’s over,” murmured Zhong He Demon Lord upon seeing this, “Much faster than Ying Jie.”
Both had comprehended the Bloodstain Battle Technique Stele, but Ying Jie had spent an entire day on it.
Lu Qingshan, on the other hand, took less than an hour.
The demonic cultivators present also noticed this difference and subconsciously started discussing it.
The murmurs drifted into Ying Jie’s ears.
Although they were rely stating facts, and no one directly criticized him or belittled him,
to him, every word seed to suggest that he was inferior to Qing Ge.
“He’s comprehended the Bloodstain Battle Technique Stele, and so have I. What if he was faster? The result is the sa,” Ying Jie said coldly, as if talking to himself but actually responding to everyone.
“That’s true,” Zhong He Demon Lord heard Ying Jie’s words and nodded silently.
Besides, no one had ever said that comprehending the Battle Technique Stele faster ant anything significant.
Shaking his head and not thinking more about it, Zhong He Demon Lord stepped forward, about to exchange a few formal words with the just-recovered “Qing Ge” to express goodwill on behalf of Chi Venerable’s faction.
But the next mont, his steps halted again, his gaze shaking as he looked incredulously towards the Sword Commanding Stage, “What is he trying to do?”
At the foot of the Battle Technique Stele, Lu Qingshan had just removed his hand from the Bloodstain Battle Technique Stele.
His eyes glead, clearly having gained a lot.
Yet, after standing still for less than a mont, he lifted his eyes to look at another Battle Technique Stele beside the Bloodstain Battle Technique Stele.
This stele was densely engraved with countless stars, with a crimson moon at its center.
This Battle Technique Stele was nad the Red Moon Battle Technique Stele.
Lu Qingshan stepped forward and walked towards the Red Moon Battle Technique Stele.
All eyes, including those of Ying Jie and Hong Lie Demon Lord, inevitably focused on Lu Qingshan at this mont.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Qingshan walked to the foot of the Red Moon Battle Technique Stele.
Then, just as before, he reached out with his right hand and pressed it tightly against the Red Moon Battle Technique Stele, feeling the cool touch of the stele’s surface.
Monts later.
“It’s moving! The Red Moon Battle Technique Stele is moving!” A demonic cultivator in the crowd exclaid, his voice trembling with excitent.
But by now, no one had the mind to pay attention to these details.
The crowd’s gazes were fixed, trembling slightly.
The Battle Technique Stele, engraved with countless stars and the red moon, suddenly lit up at this mont.
The light from the red moon at its center was especially dazzling, incredibly bright.
It shimred with endless moonlight, drawing the surrounding stars into constant motion, linking together to form one extraordinary stellar array after another.
Standing beneath the Red Moon Battle Technique Stele, Lu Qingshan’s body was entirely covered by the dazzling moonlight, exceptionally eye-catching.
“Including Ying Jie, in the history of the Burning Moon Domain, only fifteen people have comprehended the Vast Wilderness Battle Technique Stele, and only two had triggered two Battle Technique Steles.
And both of these predecessors later beca Demon Lords!”
“Qing Ge, he is the third one!”
“The third in history!”
The demonic cultivators witnessing this couldn’t find words to describe their shock.
