Chapter 729: Chapter 177: Heavenly Demon Bone Claw, Holy Order Established, Merit Descends from Heaven!
Seeing their own Great Elder being slain by Lu Qing with a single burst of Sword Qi,
the remaining members of the Guiyuan Sect stayed rooted on the spot, with not a single one daring to make a sound.
They were not angry; on the contrary, their hearts were filled with fear.
They were afraid that Lu Qing might take out his anger on them and kill them as well.
Of course, Lu Qing did not do so; he merely glanced at the disciples of the Guiyuan Sect.
He said calmly, "I understand that your Great Elder was beguiled by that Netherworld Old Ghost, hence he committed sins. Therefore, I left him intact. Take his body back and give him a proper burial."
"Thank you, Honored One!"
The disciples of the Guiyuan Sect, upon hearing this, felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and expressions of relief showed on their faces, having survived a disaster.
They bowed deeply to Lu Qing one after another.
Even the Second Elder, who was also at the Golden Core Realm, was no exception.
Before Lu Qing, he dared not exhibit any sign of disrespect.
Then Lu Qing glanced around once more, finally fixing his gaze on the First Saint Master.
"Elder First Saint Master, I believe no one will have any objections to this Holy Meeting now. I will leave the rest to you."
With that said, Lu Qing transformed into a stream of light, soaring upwards into the Azure Darkness, flying towards the Holy Mountain.
Lu Qing’s sudden departure astonished everyone, catching them off guard.
No one expected him to leave so abruptly.
However, once they confirmed that Lu Qing had truly left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and finally relaxed.
There was no choice; the pressure from this individual was simply too overwhelming.
Even without exuding any aura, merely standing there was enough to make everyone tremble with fear.
Now that he had left, the weight on their hearts was finally lifted.
"Ladies and gentlemen, can we officially begin this Holy Meeting?"
At this time, the voice of the First Saint Master rang out.
Seeing the First Saint Master’s smiling demeanor, all the powerful individuals felt a chill in their hearts.
Previously, they all speculated about the purpose and confidence behind the Holy Mountain convening this Holy Meeting.
Now they understood; it turned out they had invited that person.
Wasn’t it rumored that the three Saint Masters were at odds with that individual?
Now it appears this was not the case at all.
Not only was there no discord between the two sides, but quite the contrary, they were evidently on very friendly terms.
That person actually supported the Holy Mountain to such an extent; it was unclear how the three Saint Masters had persuaded him.
Although they couldn’t figure it out, everyone knew the situation was settled.
This Holy Meeting was now completely under the control of the Holy Mountain.
Indeed, throughout the rest of the Holy Meeting, no sect force dared to come forth and cause trouble.
Everything proceeded in an orderly manner.
Of course, with the significant implications and widespread involvement of the Holy Meeting, it wouldn’t conclude hastily.
It wouldn’t end in just a day or two.
It was for this reason that Lu Qing left directly.
He had no interest in staying there to discuss those tedious matters.
Upon returning to the Holy Mountain, Lu Qing entered his Cave Mansion.
He had already done what needed to be done.𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
The matters remaining were ones the three Saint Masters were much more proficient at handling, leaving no need for his concern.
Sitting cross-legged in the Cave Mansion, Lu Qing took out the white bone claw, activated Superpower, and examined it.
Not long after, a rich purple began to emerge from the bone claw.
Several strips of writing floated into view.
[Heavenly Demon Bone Claw: A bone claw left behind after the death of an Ancient Sky Demon.]
[The Ancient Sky Demon was an Innate creature that emerged at the genesis of this world, born from the Origin Energy.]
[The Ancient Sky Demon was innately powerful, existing in the Primordial Spirit Realm from birth, exceptionally formidable.]
[This bone claw was nourished for tens of thousands of years by the resentment of countless living creatures, and was then purified by the Nanming Leaving Fire, with all resentment dispelled, reverting to its origin, undergoing some strange transformation.]
...
After reading all the information on the strips, a realization dawned in Lu Qing’s eyes.
No wonder this bone claw was so formidable; previously he was puzzled about what creature’s claw could possess such power.
It turned out to be a claw left behind by an ancient Sky Demon from the early formation of the world.
Lu Qing was not entirely unfamiliar with this Ancient Sky Demon.
Back then, that Demon Cultivator had obtained a piece of the Ancient Sky Demon’s Demon Bone, and thus started causing turmoil.
It was uncertain whether this Heavenly Demon Bone Claw and the Demon Bone obtained by the Demon Cultivator came from the same Ancient Sky Demon.
Having investigated the origin of the bone claw, Lu Qing stored it into his Primordial Bag.
This bone claw had extraordinary material; after Lu Qing used the Nanming Leaving Fire to destroy and purify the restrictions within, killing the Artifact Spirit,
although it was no longer a Spiritual Artifact, it transformed into an even better Refining Material.
If crafted properly, perhaps he could create a strong Spiritual Artifact.
However, refining a Spiritual Artifact isn’t something that can be completed quickly.
It requires a long time of nurturing to possibly produce that hint of spiritual nature.
Currently, he was not lacking Spiritual Artifacts, so there was no rush.
Once there is a suitable opportunity in the future, he could slowly refine it.
Now the most important thing for him was his own cultivation.
Having just broken through to the second transformation of the Golden Core, it was a crucial time for rapid progress, and he could not afford to slack off.
While the Holy Meeting in the Holy City was in full swing, Lu Qing had already entered a deep cultivation state.
Even though he wasn’t present at the scene, the sect forces no longer dared to harbor any ulterior motives.
They had no choice but to immerse themselves fully in the Holy Meeting discussions, striving to win benefits for themselves.
Finally, two days later, in the central gigantic stone platform of the Holy City,
the First Saint Master appeared solemn, holding a Jade Tablet in his hand, and gazed around.
