Mysterious World: I Have a Lost Heavenly Court

into the night.

In the quiet room, Lu Changqing did not allow Qingyun to light the candles.

The chaotic noises from his home and the images of the three evil god shrines were still etched in his mind.

"This thing has a certain degree of activity."

"Or rather, someone is manipulating them, and the person behind these shrines must be the mastermind!"

Lu Changqing's eyes flickered.

He didn't think the Zheng family had such great ability and audacity.

It is highly likely that the Zheng family was also being manipulated.

"Strength, strength—ultimately speaking, my strength is still too weak, which means I'm not allowed to get involved in family matters at all!"

"Without complete information, it's impossible to make a judgment!"

With this thought in mind, Lu Changqing lay on the bed, his consciousness immersed, and new information appeared on the jade pendant.

[The Underworld Catalogue: This catalogue can collect all evil spirits and demons in the world. The owner can extract and use the abilities of the demons and monsters recorded within. Later, it can be summoned and commanded in the Ancient Ruins.]

Once the evil spirits and demons have been completely defeated or fully collected, they can be summoned and commanded in the real world.

Note: The power a demon wields in the ancient ruins is related to the extent to which the person in question defeats or subdues it in the real world.

[Currently included: Blood Zombie]

[Description: Once a dying old man in a poor village, he came into contact with evil spirits through a peculiar encounter, went astray, and transformed into a zombie. After nearly a hundred years of cultivation, he has reached a considerable level of power.]

[Ability 1: Earth Shaking. Zombies possess great brute strength and are naturally drawn to the ground.]

This ability can increase the user's strength and speed by 30% within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

And as long as both feet are on the ground, physical strength can be quickly restored.

It can be unlocked and refined by consuming 40 Supernatural Points.

[Ability 2: Bloodlust, an extreme craving for any kind of blood.]

This ability allows the user to enter a bloodlust state after killing or damaging an enemy, increasing strength and speed by 30% to 50%, significantly reducing pain and fatigue, and greatly improving combat focus. The duration of this state is uncertain and continues until the user dies or the battle ends.

Furthermore, the enemy's blood will be absorbed through the skin, aiding in the recovery of injuries and physical strength.

It can be unlocked and refined by consuming 40 Supernatural Points.

[Ability 3: Blood Escape. As a loyal believer in the land and blood, the zombie has some understanding of the spirit of the earth.]

This ability allows the user to choose any location within a twenty-step range to perform earth-遁 (earth escape), but it must be noted that the escape technique must be reversed to be used again, and the location must be the starting point of the escape technique.

It can be unlocked and refined by consuming 40 Supernatural Points.

The jade tablet in Lu Changqing's mind flickered with light.

An old, dark book emerged from inside.

The book was turned to the first page, which featured a zombie that was two meters tall with dark red skin covered in dense black vein patterns.

The whites of the zombie's eyes had completely disappeared, leaving only pure black eyeballs.

His most striking feature was his left and right hands. His five fingers had been transformed into five translucent, blood vessel-like tentacles, each about three feet long, hanging and swaying, with sharp bony needles at the ends.

He was somewhat surprised to see this image.

"It looks different from what's on the shrine...it might be to avoid being noticed."

"Furthermore, these blood zombies can actually be summoned and commanded within ancient ruins!"

Lu Changqing was pleasantly surprised.

If that's the case, then conquering the map and clearing out the monsters will be much easier!

We can get help from them!

However, judging from the description...

The strength of these summonable demons and monsters depends on the extent to which Lu Changqing comes into contact with and defeats them.

I wonder how powerful the Blood Zombie will be once it's summoned.

"However...this also proves one thing."

"I am not the prey of these evil spirits, nor am I merely on the defensive!"

"In a way, you are actually the hunter!"

Lu Changqing's eyes flickered, his heart stirred slightly.

After a moment, he calmed down.

"It's a bit too early to think about it now."

"Let's look at the ability selection first."

After carefully reviewing the ability descriptions once again.

Lu Changqing did not hesitate and directly chose the first option: Earth Shattering.

the reason is simple.

The other two, while not weak either, also have significant side effects.

Let's leave aside the third rigid escape technique.

The second skill, similar to berserk... In Lu Changqing's view, battles require calm responses; not every battle demands a surge of passion.

In contrast, consider Earthshaking.

Although the increase in strength and speed was not significant.

But the ability to quickly restore energy by stepping on the ground is truly reassuring.

"I've been exhausted more than once when fighting the Blade Mantises of the Silent Wood Forest and the Skeleton Soldiers of Falling Star Cliff."

"Having a passive skill that quickly restores stamina is always a good thing!"

"More importantly, this skill has no level restrictions."

"Even masters at the Bone Refining and Blood Refining realms experience stamina depletion; this Earth-Shaking Technique can accompany you throughout your martial arts journey!"

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated and directly chose to use Earthshaking.

The next moment, Lu Changqing felt a strange sensation surging through his body.

He can activate [Earthshaking] at any time if he wants.

At the same time, the handwriting on the jade plaque also changed.

[Supernatural Power: Earth Shattering]

"Now, this 'skill' is a unique ability of my own!"

Lu Changqing's lips curled up, his heart filled with anticipation.

If one day his strength increases, he will continue to hunt evil spirits in the Great Qian Dynasty to fill the "Underworld Records".

How many supernatural powers will he possess in the future?

"Let's test our skills in the ancient ruins late at night."

"Also, I've already perfected my Skin Refining Realm, so I need to start working on the Water and Fire Immortal Robe."

...

...

Ancient relics.

Falling Star Cliff.

Lu Changqing stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down.

The enormous giant with the broken sword still sat there, unconsciously gripping the blade.

Lu Changqing could see that the injury he had caused to her ankle last time was still there.

"If we go down and fight them again now, at most we'll just end up with a few more wounds on their bodies."

"It does not play a crucial role."

"My most important task right now is to forge the Water and Fire Immortal Robe as soon as possible, otherwise being stuck at the Skin Refining Realm is not a good thing."

Skin training emphasizes using qi and blood to strengthen the skin and nourish the flesh.

However, once one breaks through the bone-strengthening stage, most of one's vital energy and blood will begin to circulate within the bone marrow.

During this period, you can still continue to practice your skin and forge the Water and Fire Immortal Robes.

However, compared to focusing on one thing in the Skin Training Realm, efficiency is significantly reduced.

"The Iron-Clad Fruit at the bottom of the cliff has been completely looted, but I haven't searched the entire Silent Wood Forest yet; there must still be some left!"

"Let's go check it out tonight!"

...

...

Deep in the Silent Wood Forest.

An open space in front of a cave built of weeds.

Lu Changqing kept his lower body low as he constantly checked the six bladed mantises that surrounded him and were intentionally closing in.

He wandered and searched through the Silent Wood Forest for a long time.

He found some Ironclad Fruit and Moss.

Just now, through the gaps in the weeds, he saw many iron-clad fruits growing in the cave in front of him.

These six scythes appeared suddenly when he planned to enter the cave to pick them.

If it were before, seeing these six blade mantises would have basically meant certain death.

But now... Lu Changqing watched as the Blade Mantis's encirclement of him drew ever closer, reaching a distance that his footwork could cover in an instant!

His entire aura suddenly changed! It became sharp and piercing!

As the earth-shaking supernatural power was activated, qi and blood circulated, with pure yang flowing to the soles of the feet and calves.

He sprang out like an arrow!

There was no fierce wind in front of the mantis facing it, only a figure that arrived in an instant!

Lu Changqing strode forward, his leg sweeping like a giant axe splitting a mountain! He slashed down fiercely!

A muffled thud! The sound was almost imperceptible.

The mantis's head wasn't badly damaged, but the force had already penetrated its carapace and reached its brain.

The pure Yang energy clung to the mantis like a maggot clinging to its bone.

In an instant, the mantis was killed.

The next moment, Lu Changqing suddenly twisted his body and appeared beside another mantis as if he had flashed.

With a flick of its toe, it touched the tender abdomen of the Blade Mantis!

One kick and his internal organs were shattered!

But in the eyes of the four remaining mantises.

Three figures of Lu Changqing appeared on this huge open space!

Two of their companions also died instantly!

Blade mantises don't possess much intelligence, but they do have the instincts that normal living creatures should have.

The deaths of their two companions, along with Lu Changqing's unpredictable power, instilled fear in them!

At this moment, Lu Changqing saw for the first time that the Blade Mantises stopped attacking and instead turned around and fled separately!

Seeing this, he was extremely satisfied with the changes in himself!

There was no pursuit.

After all, his goal was the Ironclad Fruit, not the materials dropped by the Blade Mantis.

He felt the sudden surge of extra power within his body gradually dissipate.

And the feeling of his feet constantly drawing power from the earth to nourish himself and restore his strength made him smile.

"So this is the effect of supernatural power! It's truly amazing!"

"Although compared to Erlang Shen's Law of Heaven and Earth and the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, this Earth-Shaking Technique is nothing."

"But ordinary warriors simply cannot be like me!"

Lu Changqing has now broken through to the proficient level of the "Hundred Ghosts Illuminating God Step". With the help of the ground shaking, he can now quickly burst out and sprint for two rounds!

In actual combat, when facing a master of the same level, this is almost equivalent to teleporting in front of the opponent and striking them with a single blow.

Then he instantly teleported behind the opponent and kicked them!

If used properly, it can have a transformative effect!

Similarly, the greater the power, the greater the effort required.

Therefore, under such rapid bursts of power, the consumption of strength and vital energy is also terrifying.

However, now... this negative impact has been offset by the rapid recovery effect of Earthshaking!

Lu Changqing looked up at the cave hidden by weeds, "Water and Fire Immortal Robes!"

"Once you reach the pinnacle of the first realm and break through to the second, you can forge your natal spirit sword!"

"Our strength will increase significantly then..."

A sharp and resolute glint flashed in Lu Changqing's eyes: "The Zheng family, and that evil thing that's eyeing me."

"Perfect for practicing!"

With that thought in mind, he stepped forward, took out the resin, and applied it to the haystack.

This way, when you turn over the haystack, you won't startle the surrounding mute wood.

The haystack was opened.

When Lu Changqing saw the inside of the cave, his breath hitched, and his eyes burned with desire!

They were densely packed, all of them iron-clad fruits!

Now we have more than enough spiritual plants to refine the Water and Fire Immortal Robe!
