"The Dao injury left by the Celestial Tribulation causes my state to constantly deteriorate. If I remain inactive, I can endure for over a thousand years; but if I engage in low-intensity battles or fight a Harmonization Cultivator, I can only last for ten years; should I battle Tribulation Crossing Cultivators, I might immediately sit in meditation upon the battle’s conclusion! Ahem... saying this, he coughed again."
In that battle, all the elites of the Infinite Sword Sect were pletely annihilated, leaving only him, the patient, alive as the surviving ancestor.
The Young Master said, "Ancestor, what do you think of Lu Xuanji? Perhaps the ancestor can possess him and live another life!"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"
The ancestor coughed and said, "Inappropriate. My fundamental injury is severe; I can’t possess anyone. After possession, the injury won’t improve but will instead worsen! Possession is useless to me."
The Young Master remained silent, unsure what to say.
The Infinite Sword Sect has already ceased to exist in name and has pletely perished. A declining sect won’t attract aid from former allies; instead, they’ll seize the opportunity to crush and continuously wipe out the remaining territory and legacy of the Infinite Sword Sect."
"These matters shouldn’t have fallen on you, but with the sect in ruins, we rely on you now!" The ancestor sighed, "Originally, I thought Lu Xuanji was just a minor figure who could be dealt with easily; but now it seems he is extraordinary, with great potential. It’s hard to consume him!"
"If we cannot be enemies, then we must bee friends, ahem, ahem, ahem..."
The Young Master said, "But he has conquered Jin Country, even occupying our last refuge."
The ancestor replied, "Don’t be stubborn. He is considered a good ally, and we can engage in friendly relations with him! Relations between people involve love and hate, dealing with grudges, but between forces, there are only eternal interests. For interests, past hatreds can be laid aside!"
"I know, you can’t let go, but you must!"
"So be it, since he has bee a Guest Minister Elder of our Sacred Land, we cannot be stingy; we must provide what is necessary... remember to give these to him!"
Saying this, he tossed over a storage bag.
The Young Master’s expression changed again and again.
...
"Interesting!"
Lu Xuanji opened the storage bag, finding three volumes of Cultivation Technique Manuals and some Cultivation Notes.
Three volumes of techniques are nothing much.
But that volume of cultivation notes perfectly describes various realms of cultivation, from Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, all the way to Tribulation Crossing. In its subtle aspects, there are extremely exquisite discussions.
Lu Xuanji perused, and couldn’t help but marvel internally.
Indeed, a top-tier Sacred Land, with tens of thousands of years of heritage, summarized by generations, offering perfect insights into various realms.
Though he possessed extraordinary talent, he was still far inferior in this regard.
Buzzing!
Lu Xuanji closed the jade scroll and began cultivating anew, organizing his thoughts.
The magical power within him circulated, one ring after another, with the ebb and flow of magical power, his cultivation level didn’t rise, but instead, declined significantly. His cultivation at the Ninth Layer of Refining Void continued to decrease, dropping to the Eighth Layer of Refining Void, finally down to the Seventh Layer. The quantity of magical power decreased, but its quality improved.
At this moment, not only did his bat power not decrease but instead advanced a tier.
The cultivation technique circulated again, immortal crystals shattered, transforming into dense Immortal Qi and being refined step by step.
His cultivation advanced once more, reaching the Peak of Void Refining.
His bat power increased stubbornly by two layers based on the original level, but correspondingly, the barriers of Harmonization grew much more solid. Where once he had ten layers of confidence in entering the Harmonization Realm, now it had fallen to eight layers.
Perceiving the changes in his cultivation, he suppressed the unrest in his heart.
Arranging the matters of the Lu Family, setting up arrays, managing the cultivators’ stationed defenses, handling everything properly, Lu Xuanji left Chu Country and headed towards Beihan Continent.
First, he flew up high into the sky, continuously ascending, raising his flight altitude; upon reaching a certain height, he began descending rapidly. Gradually, the ground magnified, revealing an icy and snowy world without any embellishments and no distinct scenery, only endless wind and snow, endless whiteness.
White is the prevailing hue here.
Landing here, under the illumination of the white light, Lu Xuanji felt slightly unfortable.
Activating his eyes, he adapted to the surrounding environment.
Taking out another jade scroll, he confirmed his location, began perceiving his surroundings, and sensed the changes in void.
His divine thought transformed into waves, resembling flowing water, sensing the endless void, where a once flat world became three-dimensional. Space flowed up and down, featuring spatial wrinkles, spatial turbulence, spatial ripples, spatial tides, space passages, and some special secret realms.
They constantly rose and fell, moving all the time.
Precisely locating those spatial secret realms is extremely difficult, attainable only by the most supreme great powers.
He retrieved the jade scroll, which recorded spatial coordinates.
Buzzing!
Just at this moment, a red light flashed across the jade scroll, and Lu Xuanji perceived the secret realm.
He activated his magical power and vanished in the next instant.
Upon reappearing, he found himself in an entirely new world, with green water, blue mountains, white clouds in the sky, flowing rivers, towering trees, soaring great mountains, and animals running. But here, the Heaven and Earth Laws differ greatly from those outside, making Lu Xuanji feel unfortable.
Inevitably, his cultivation experienced a certain decline.
An inexplicable unease within his spirit directly informed him of the extreme danger in this secret realm. Unexpected situations could arise at any moment.
