Cultivation Online Chapter 1265 Homeland

After Liya left the scene, the Lord looked at the darkened sky with a solemn expression on his face.

"The Immortal Monarch, huh?" The Lord mumbled to himself, lost in thought. "No matter what happens to , I must protect Earth at all costs. This is his holand, after all."

The following day, Yuan rose from his bed early in the morning.

"Is it morning already…?" Chu Liuxiang mumbled in a tired voice as she slowly sat up on the bed rubbing her eyes.

"Yes," Yuan confird as he slightly lifted the curtains, allowing the early sun to shine into their room.

"Take your ti, I'll be training with the others first. Of course, you don't need to participate if you don't have the energy— I won't bla you."

Hearing his words, Chu Liuxiang collapsed back on the bed and said, "Then I'll sleep for a few more hours. If you're still training by then, I'll join you."

"Okay." Yuan nodded as he left the room through the balcony, before going straight to the training grounds.

'I thought I would be able to last the whole night after reaching Spirit Grandmaster and improving my stamina, but alas, I still have a lot of training to do…' Chu Liuxiang released an internal sigh, closed her eyes, and swiftly drifted back into a peaceful slumber with a warm smile on her face.

Shortly after Yuan arrived at the training ground, Li Jinxi showed up with an eager expression on her face.

"Good morning. You're early." Yuan greeted her with a bright smile.

"You too." Li Jinxi replied.

Seeing Li Jinxi alone, Yuan couldn't help but recall his encounter with Jin Xi inside the Naless Emperor's Tomb, as well as Tian Xin's feelings for her.

"Yuan…? What's the matter?" Li Jinxi was a little startled when Yuan suddenly began tearing up.

"Hm? Oh, sorry." Yuan quickly noticed it and imdiately wiped his eyes.

"Are you okay?" Li Jinxi asked him in a concerned voice.

"Yes, I am okay. I just rembered sothing, that's all."

"You can tell , you know."

"I'll tell you if you can defeat ," Yuan said with a mysterious smile.

"Are you sure you want to fight while in that state? I won't hear any of your excuses if you lose." Li Jinxi said.

"I won't make any excuses if I lose, I promise." Yuan chuckled.

Li Jinxi didn't want to waste any more ti chatting and retrieved her weapon.

Yuan responded by summoning the Empyrean Overlord.

"Co, show how much you've grown." Yuan beckoned her with a provoking smile.

Li Jinxi imdiately kicked her feet, launching herself at him like a rocket.

Clang!

Yuan blocked her incoming strike, but Li Jinxi's strength was so imnse that it pushed him back several steps.

"Oh? Not bad." The smile on Yuan's face widened.

Li Jinxi didn't halt after the initial strike; she swiftly followed up with a second, then a third, and a fourth.

Within minutes, the two of them had a flurry of exchanges, trading hundreds of blows without landing a single direct hit. Naturally, they weren't fighting with the intention to kill and were simply enjoying the spar.

Wang Ming and Wang Bingbing showed up together in the midst of their spar and were greatly shocked by the intensity of their fight.

"The training ground was only repaired last week, and it's already being destroyed again," Wang Ming lanted aloud after seeing the condition of the training ground.

"Forget about that, the repairs are free," Wang Bingbing remarked, her attention on Li Jinxi's beaming smile. "I swear she only ever smiles when Yuan's around," she added, as she couldn't rember seeing Li Jinxi smile once in the past six months.

"You just noticed?" Wang Ming chuckled. "She's almost like a different person when she's around him. Obviously, it's because she likes him. I'm not surprised either. It's just like her to fall for soone as strong as Yuan."

"I guess…" Wang Bingbing mumbled.

"Hm? Is that jealousy I sense? Now you have three— no, four opponents. I would be nervous too if I were in your shoes." Wang Ming looked at her in a cheeky manner.

Wang Bingbing imdiately gave him a sidekick and exclaid, "S-Shut your mouth! And why are there four opponents?!"

"Did you forget about Wang Xiuying? She idolizes him, and she doesn't hide it either." Wang Ming said.

"I know that, but I don't know… I cannot sense that sort of emotion from her, unlike ixiu and the others." Wang Bingbing said.

"Really? You can tell? Why do I doubt that?"

"Call it a woman's intuition." Wang Bingbing shrugged, and she continued, "Anyways, it doesn't seem like they will finish any ti soon, so let's warm up— you and ."

"Alright."

The other started showing up shortly after Wang Ming and Wang Bingbing began sparring with each other.

"How long have they been at it for now?" Xi Murong asked Wang Ming after arriving.

"Two hours."

"I don't think we'll get a turn today at this rate."

Sure enough, Yuan and Li Jinxi would not stop until the sun started setting.

"You've improved a lot," Yuan said to Li Jinxi as he wiped his face that was dripping with sweat.

"Clearly not enough since I still cannot beat you…" Li Jinxi responded in an exhausted voice, her entire body drained of energy.

"But if you keep improving at that rate, it'll only be a matter of ti before you beat ."

"Sure… if you don't train the entire ti…" Li Jinxi sighed.

"Sorry, I'm late! Is it my turn yet?" Chu Liuxiang suddenly shouted from the balcony of her room.

Yuan looked at the setting sun and said, "It's fine, we're done for the day, anyway."

He then looked at the others and continued, "Guys, I have sothing I need to tell you all after dinner. Make sure you show up, it's serious."

"Is it about the Ten Great Families?" Shi Lang asked.

"No, this is sothing bigger and more important."

"Bigger than the Ten Great Families? Man, I can't wait." Shi Lang said in a sarcastic manner.
