Lingyuan Star was a Mercury 100,000 years ago, and 99% of the planet's surface was covered by oceans. With the change of climate and time, the oceans on the planet gradually disappeared and the environment became drier and drier, slowly forming the current desert climate. The deserts and Gobi accounted for 80% of the entire planet, and more than ten percent of the area is mountains or grand canyons, which are difficult for ordinary mortals to survive here.

The biggest feature of Lingyuan Star Desert is the Yongquan Water. A small oasis will be formed around each Yongquan Water. The natives here are called Sand people, and they usually survive on the oasis. There are also mortals migrating from other planets on the oasis. Because the environment is harsh, the number of people who can survive and reproduce is not large, with only a few hundred thousand people distributed in various oasis. Lingyuan Star is also within the scope of Fengyuan Star Cultivation Realm, and its location is at the very edge of Fengyuan Star Cultivation Realm.

The cultivation sect where Bakaran is located is the only cultivation sect of Ling Yuanxing. It is the branch of Hanmo Jinshan Castle, which ranks seventh among the seven major sects of Fengyuanxing. Bakaran is an elder-level master. In Hanmo Jinshan Castle in Fengyuanxing, he is also an elder-level master, but he likes to travel around, so he rarely returns to Fengyuanxing and Lingyuanxing.

Bakaran brought Li Qiang, Tianhong, Geng Feng and Meier to Lingyuanxing. From the teleportation array, Bakaran sent a signal. He had a very high prestige in the quicksand castle. Soon five cultivators arrived, including Qi Hongya, the leader of the quicksand castle. When he saw Li Qiang, he screamed in surprise. Bakaran was shocked by him.

Qi Hongya is a master in the late stage of out-of-body out-of-body stage. He had seen Li Qiang before, but Li Qiang didn't remember it. After Qi Hongya screamed, he hesitated for a moment, and asked carefully: "Senior is Li Qiang from the Chongxuan Sect?" Baccarang smiled and said, "I know all the masters of the Chongxuan Sect...uh..." He suddenly remembered Li Qiang's superb weapon refining techniques, and now he was not sure.

Bakaran went out for a trip during the distraction period. He hadn't returned to Ling Yuanxing and Fengyuanxing for a long time, and did not understand many situations. Li Qiang smiled and said, "I am Li Qiang from Chongxuan Sect."

Qi Hongya shouted: "It's amazing, the Demon King of the World is back..." Bakaran was so angry that he cursed: "Qi Hongya! You are the head of the quicksand castle, why are you so fussing? What do you look like?" Li Qiang couldn't help but laugh: "Demon King of the World is so famous? Haha, am I so famous?"

Li Qiang didn't know that in Fengyuanxing's cultivation world, his current fame is no less than Fu Shan. He came back after he disappeared for a hundred years. This is no matter what, it is a major event in Fengyuanxing's cultivation world. Almost all sects have received joint notices from Chongxuan Sect and the Ancient Sword Academy: Once there is news from Li Qiang, please inform these two sects immediately.

What surprised all sects the most at that time was that the Holy City also issued the same notice: as long as they saw Li Qiang, they would notify the Holy City immediately. It was not until the Holy City last year that this notice was cancelled like a wanted order. As for the reason, these sects dare not ask too much. The Holy City is the boss of the cultivation world in the Fengyuanxing area. Not only are there masters but also mysterious, no sect dares to underestimate it. Therefore, Li Qiang's previous appearance was very clear to all sects.

When the Wrath of the Heavenly God was born, Qi Hongya followed his master to the Heavenly Star and witnessed the thrilling battle with his own eyes. At that time, he was also a master in the late stage of the Nascent Soul, so he recognized him as soon as he saw Li Qiang. Li Qiang's name as a demon king in the world was spread throughout the Fengyuan Star cultivation world from the mouth of the old man Baihuang.

Qi Hongya respectfully stepped forward and saluted: "Qi Hongya, a disciple of Hanmo Jinshan Fort, met his senior."

Li Qiang sighed, and couldn't help but feel deeply moved. He finally returned to the Fengyuanxing Cultivation Realm. He smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, you should call me Senior Brother, it would be awkward to call Senior." Li Qiang introduced Tianhong and others again, and then followed Qi Hongya to the station of Liusha Castle.

The Liusha Castle is located on the Linhu Oasis, the largest oasis in Lingyuan Star. Linhu is the largest lake in Lingyuan Star. The water source is completely provided by underground Yongquan. The spring water here is a spiritual spring. For cultivators, this is a Feng Shui treasure land, and the Liusha Castle is built by Linhu Lake.

There are more than 300 disciples of Liusha Castle, 90% of whom are not up to the Nascent Soul stage, and there are only more than twenty masters above the Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, in the Fengyuanxing cultivation world, Liusha Castle is just an unknown sect. Generally, only when junior disciples of major sects go to Lingyuanxing to practice, there are no cultivators who come to visit.

The arrival of Li Qiang and others caused a sensation in the entire sect, especially when Bakaran returned, which made these disciples inexplicably excited. He was very famous in Hanmo Jinshan Fort and was also a legendary figure in the sect.

The quicksand castle is a huge circular building, completely built by huge rocks. All rooms are built in the inner circle of the circular building, with a huge patio in the middle, as big as a football field, which is where all disciples live. The entire Linhu Oasis is protected by spells, not only to prevent the attack of indigenous sand people, but more importantly to prevent the invasion of wind, sand and sandstorms. Spell protection is divided into two layers inside and outside, the outer layer covers the entire oasis, and the inner layer is only to protect the water source and the station of the quicksand castle. There are also many mortals living on the oasis.

Qi Hongya's residence is not in the circular giant castle of the quicksand castle. He has an elegant small yard by Lin Lake. There is no room in the yard and only a bluestone platform. It is polished so smooth that it is greasy and smooth. Several big trees grow on the edge of the platform. The shade completely covers the platform, and even a trace of sunlight cannot be penetrated. Since there is no rain all year round and the climate is hot and dry, the function of the roof is basically to shade the sun. With these big trees, you can even ignore the roof.

Li Qiang sat cross-legged on the platform and said, "Brother Qi, don't inform the Chongxuan Sect and the Gu Jianyuan for the news of my return. Haha, I want to go back quietly, and I don't like the earth-shaking trouble."

Except for Mei'er who took the Tianliu beast to play in the water, everyone else sat on the platform. In front of the platform, the lake water was rippling with blue waves and the breeze blew on his face, which made people feel refreshed. Qi Hongya nodded and said, "Okay, Hongya obeyed the order."

Geng Feng was anxious. He shook his head and laughed, "Brother Kalang, this...that..." His hand stretched out and retracted, and everyone laughed. Baccarang ordered a disciple to get the Hanyu Bingchen Granules, and Geng Feng thanked him repeatedly. Only then did Qi Hongya realize that Li Qiang was going to refine weapons, and he was overjoyed. Not everyone could see the masters of Chongxuan Sect refine weapons.

It took Li Qiang three days to get it done. He used the condensed method he was not very familiar with. Although he was still dissatisfied with all kinds of dissatisfaction, Li Qiang had mastered this method of refining weapons. Using Shen Yili to refine weapons can almost cover any weapon refining method in the cultivation world. Shen Yili is the best "fire". No matter it is Samadhi True Fire, Heavenly Fire or Fairy Spirit Qi, it is impossible to compare with Shen Yili. Therefore, Li Qiang has truly entered the ranks of the great masters of refining weapons.

Geng Feng's flying sword is very strange in shape. It is arranged by countless layers of crystal-like substances. The color is almost transparent, like a piece of ice crystal flower condensed on glass. Geng Feng was very satisfied. He specifically asked Tianhong to name it. Tianhong held this strange flying sword and finally couldn't help it. He said hesitantly, "Uh, brother, this... I have the same physique as Geng Feng... Haha, this..."

Li Qiang suddenly realized, "Brother, don't you want me to refine swords, right?" Tianhong's face turned red. Li Qiang knew that he was a very proud person, so he hurriedly said, "Brother, just give me an order to refine swords. Haha, it's me that I was careless." Tianhong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled embarrassedly: "Who made my weapon refining level so high? By the way, madman, this sword is called the Frost Crystal Sword. Alas, the flying sword that I refined is indeed extremely wonderful. This is the first time I have seen this kind of flying sword."

In the end, not only Tianhong got a new flying sword, but even Bakaran and Qi Hongya also got a flying sword refined by Li Qiang. Everyone was very happy. The flying sword that Tianhong got was like a magnified hexagonal snowflake. He tried to control it, and there was a snow shadow all over the sky. He was so scared that he quickly put away his sword, and he was so happy that he didn't know what to do. This form of morphology from the flying sword itself is really rare. Tianhong knew in his heart that with this flying sword, he could easily exert his full strength.

A disciple sent a red note, and Baccarang asked, "Is it a notice from the General Fort?"

Qi Hongya glanced a little and said with a smile: "The Taoist magic competition held by Yunxiao Holy City is about to begin. This time, the main castle gave a place to the quicksand castle. Haha, Tianyuan City is going to be lively again."

Li Qiang had heard of this Taoist magic competition for a long time, and he asked curiously: "When will it start?" Mei'er couldn't help holding Li Qiang's hand and said softly: "Brother, Mei'er is going to see it!" Li Qiang joked: "Go, go play together. If Mei'er finds it fun, you can go up and compete, haha."

Unexpectedly, Mei'er was really moved. She was once a cultivator of Fengyuan Star and was very familiar with the situation of Fengyuan Star. The Taoist magic competition is the largest event of Fengyuan Star. Every sect will participate with all its strength. Family cultivators also attach great importance to it, because once they win, they will not only have generous prizes, but also have the opportunity to go to Yunxiao Holy City to secretly practice and obtain a higher level of cultivation secret treasure. She immediately replied: "Okay, Mei'er will participate!"

Li Qiang is as long as Mei'er is happy and doesn't care if the sky falls, let alone she just wants to participate in a competition. He also smiled and said, "Okay, Mei'er wants to participate, we will win the first place no matter what. Brother will prepare for you." Mei'er applauded and said, "Okay, I like it, brother, how can I sign up?"

Qi Hongya said, "Just participate in the name of a family cultivator, I can help." He got a top-quality flying sword refined by Li Qiang, and felt that it was incomparable. He immediately volunteered to help when he heard this. Mei'er smiled and thanked, "Thank you, Brother Qi." Even though she turned into a cultivator's appearance, her charming expression still made Qi Hongya feel overwhelmed. He hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Miss Mei'er, you have to be polite, this is just a trivial matter."

Baccaron asked, “When will it start?”

Qi Hongya smiled and said, "It will start soon. It depends on the sect you registered for. This time it seems to be a little different from the previous competition. Important news came from Yunxiao Holy City. There were important figures participating in the competition. Moreover, the reward this time was also different from before. I heard that it might be an immortal weapon, so each sect is actively preparing."

Li Qiang was stunned and muttered in his heart: "What exactly does Gan Shanyong want to do?"

Tianhong asked Geng Feng: "Have our Tianlai City participated in this competition?" Geng Feng said: "Uh, Uncle Master, you are not unaware. There are very few cultivators who have come out of Tianlai City to practice. If the little madman hadn't come to us by chance, we would probably be still in the sea of ​​wronged souls."

Li Qiang smiled and said, "It is not harmful to participate in more such activities. It is of great benefit to broaden the horizons of disciples. The ranking and prizes do not matter. The important thing is that it is worth understanding." Tianhong also understood this truth. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, I will go back to Tanbangxing immediately. Brother Qi, please help us cultivators in Tianlai City to sign up, and we will participate."

Qi Hongya said: "No problem, the registration of the sect is given priority. Our Hanmo Jinshan Fort has a residence in Tianyuan City. Senior Tianhong can come..." Li Qiang smiled and said: "Don't rob, don't rob, Brother Tianhong brings people, no matter what, you have to come to the Chongxuan Sect or the Ancient Sword Academy. Haha, I haven't seen the city lord's sister for a long time."

Tianhong touched his neat beard and said, "Okay, I'll go back first. Brother, we'll meet in Tianyuan City." He left as soon as he said, and the white light flashed and disappeared. Geng Feng suddenly jumped up from the platform like a loose monkey. As soon as Tianhong left, he felt that his whole body was loose. With him, he was so restrained that he was very restrained.

"I want to participate in the competition, hahaha!" He danced and turned around in the air. Qi Hongya said in a daze: "This competition must be a cultivator below the God-Distraction Stage to participate. He... well, it seems that he is not qualified."

Geng Feng seemed to be locked in the air by something. He could hear it clearly. After a while, he shouted, "What a bullshit rule! Can I only see it? I'm so angry!" He fell to the ground dejectedly. Feng Yuanxing had held a big competition before, but Geng Feng went out every time and had never participated, so he was not very clear about the rules of the competition.

Qi Hongya explained: "There are many rules for the competition. People with different cultivation levels cannot compete together. For example, cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage cannot compete with cultivators in the Out-of-body stage. That is two levels of cultivation... Well, there is a competition that you can participate..."

Baccaran interrupted, "Well, that's right, that was participated by a master of cultivation above the God-Distraction Stage, and he specialized in the competition and competition of magic... But that one seems to have no ranking, and is just for other low-level cultivators to observe."

Geng Feng became excited again: "That's fine, I'll participate in this." As long as there is a fight, everything else doesn't matter.

Mei'er leaned beside Li Qiang and said with a smile: "Brother, I'll go to the competition... No problem." Li Qiang said: "No problem, even if there is a problem, my brother will let him be fine." His words were very domineering. Anyway, as long as Mei'er likes it, Li Qiang will fight for it at all. Fortunately, Mei'er is not the kind of unreasonable little girl, otherwise, with Li Qiang's favor, she can really do whatever she wants in the cultivation world.

Mei'er said, "Brother, when I go home, you have to accompany me. Mei'er is still a little scared." Li Qiang gently patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid if you have brother here." Mei'er put her head on Li Qiang's shoulder, as if she would feel at ease like this.

Li Qiang asked: "Is there a place called Hanmoyuan in Lingyuan?"

Baccarang was surprised and said, "How did Brother Li know this place? It is a very ancient name. It should be called... Well, what is it? You know what Qi Hongya? It's the place near Juliu Oasis." He couldn't remember the place name at once.

Qi Hongya said, "Hanmo is now called Gudaoyuan. There are few people in that place, and it is very desolate. Brother, ask what this place is for?" Li Qiang said, "I am entrusted by someone. It seems that a master in the cultivation world is imprisoned there, but I don't know if it is still there, I plan to lift the ban."

Bakalangqi said, "When did this happen? We don't seem to have heard of it?" He turned his head and looked at Qi Hongya, with an inquiry in his eyes. Qi Hongya said, "I have never heard of it, and there is no record of this in the classics. Strange, Senior Brother Li, who is the master who was imprisoned? Which sect is it from?"

Li Qiang shrugged and said, "I don't know who he is. I only know that this person was imprisoned by a master of the Buddha Sect. It has been a long time ago. Maybe he has ascended to the point of death. I just want to lift the ban and see. The rest can only be left to fate." In fact, Li Qiang's current mentality is different from before. His attitude towards life and death has become much more indifferent. After experiencing and seeing countless times of life and death, he no longer has the passion of pursuing infinite life when he first started to practice.

Qi Hongya said, "I know where, haha, let me be a guide. Will Elder Ba go too?"

Baccarang nodded and said, "I am a landlord, of course I have to go." Li Qiang nodded and thanked him. He stood up and smiled and said, "We fly over and it is rare to come to Lingyuanxing. We should also see the scenery here."

Geng Feng said, "The scenery? What's so good about it? There's probably nothing good about this place except sand and stone." He didn't care about any scenery. The old madman was only interested in fighting and cultivating. Li Qiang had known this guy's temper for a long time, and he said, "Let's go!" He flew into the air first, and Mei'er hugged Xiaobai and followed closely.

Qi Hongya gave his disciples a few words before he flew up with Baccarang. The five of them flew out of the Linhu Oasis and flew to the ancient road to the south.

The ancient road was originally a place where wind and sand were raging. For most of the year, it was days of flying sand and rocks, and only at some specific times were calm. The ancient road was very few oasis, with only a few water sources, and few plants could grow here. The environment was very harsh. Only a few indigenous sand people could survive here with their special skills.

When Li Qiang and his friends arrived above the ancient road land, it happened to be calm. The endless sand dunes shone golden light under the sunlight, and the world was quiet, and the steaming heat flow twisted the scenery in the distance. Qi Hongya said: "This is the ancient road land. In addition to the local sand people, only cultivators can come here. Mortals cannot get here at all. It's too hot.

Mei'er cheered and swooped down with Xiaobai. The little girl actually went to play with sand.

Li Qiang said, "Wait for me." He flew to a sand dune, sat cross-legged, and his spiritual sense immediately extended along the sand dune in all directions.

Qi Hongya had the worst cultivation among the five people, and he asked, "What are Senior Brother Li doing?" Geng Feng curled his lips: "He? The little madman must be using his spiritual sense to explore a large scale. Alas, what has this guy been practicing? The old madman can't figure out his cultivation at all now. Alas, it's incredible."

Bakaran once witnessed Li Qiang showing his power on the Fire Lake, so he knew very well that Li Qiang's strength was indeed unfathomable. He smiled and said, "Brother, don't guess anything. I know Brother Li's strength level. We cultivators cannot compare. He seems to have left the path of cultivation. As for what it is, I don't know."

Li Qiang's current cultivation level is extremely high, and it is not difficult to search for a large-scale spiritual sense at all. Soon he found a suspicious place, which was under a sand dune in the northwest, with a familiar fluctuation, which was produced by the unique magic weapon of the Buddha Sect. He jumped up and smiled and said, "I found it, let's go there. stop playing Mei'er, take Xiaobai with you."

Li Qiang flew all the way to the northwest, and soon he hovered above a large sand dune. Geng Feng asked curiously: "It's this?" Li Qiang nodded and said: "Everyone get out of the way, I'll separate the sand dune." Everyone flew to the side immediately, watching how Li Qiang wanted to separate the sand dune.

The sand dune was extremely large and was blown into a huge half-moon shape by the wind. Li Qiang did not use any magic weapon, but simply pinched the immortal technique. He used the immortal method of moving mountains and seas. Suddenly, the entire sand trembled. The huge sand dune collapsed quickly like a pile of snow roasted by fire, and the speed was astonishingly fast.

As the sand dunes disappeared, the landform below was revealed. It was a huge stone like a mountain. The dark rock was shining with dark green light. Mei'er shouted first: "Oh my God, brother, this is a stone formed by the stone-condensing technique of the Buddha Sect. Brother, the people who were restricted here must be very amazing. Such a large stone must have been taken together." The little girl knew a lot, and she knew a lot about the Buddha Sect. She had read the Buddhist scriptures obtained by Li Qiang, so she recognized how this huge stone was formed at a glance.

Now even Geng Feng was convinced. He shook his head and said, "The little crazy girls are so powerful. Oh, I'm just in vain."

Li Qiang smiled and said, "Yes, it is indeed a ban formed by the stone-condensing technique. Good guy, there are at least six elder-level masters in the Buddhist sect who take action at the same time. One master must also attract his attention. Well, it seems like an ambush trap."

Mei'er said: "Brother, do you know how to crack it?"

Li Qiang came prepared. He had the spiritual technique given by Elder Zhi. He said, "Everyone, I will unleash the ban. This thing will explode. Don't hurt me by mistake." He pinched the spiritual technique continuously, which was the secret method of the Buddha Sect. The huge stone mountain trembled violently, and the cracking sound of "click" and "click" was clearly transmitted.

More and more cracks appeared on the entire huge rock, and slowly, green light shone out from the cracks. As Li Qiang completed his last spiritual technique, he waved his hands down and shouted: "Open!" In an instant, the green light in the crack suddenly turned, emitting dazzling white light, and the rumbling vibration sound became louder and louder, as if a fighter plane flew at high speed from a distance and was about to approach his side.

"Boom!" "Boom!" Two violent explosions, black stone flakes burst into all directions, and a huge smoke rose into the air. Li Qiang smelled an extremely fishy smell. He waved his hand and a strong wind suddenly blew across the earth, sweeping the rising smoke into the air. Everyone saw that two large holes were exposed on the black stone as huge as a mountain, like two black eyes staring at the sky silently.

Bakaran, Qi Hongya and Geng Feng all came over. Mei'er rushed into Li Qiang's arms and whispered: "Brother, it's strange. Cracking the Spirit Art should break the entire stone, why did it open two holes?" The little girl was a little scared. Although she was extremely skilled, she was still very brave. Li Qiang smiled and said: "The master who was trapped inside tried to refine this huge stone, so the entire ban had some changes."

Geng Feng said with a hurry: "Little madman, I'll go down and take a look first? Hehe, I don't know who is inside, so I don't come out to see such a big noise. Oh, will he be finished?" He was so curious.
Chapter completed!
