152: Chapter 152 Entering an Uninhabited Land, Taking the Heaven Sword

Lu Chen had finished perfecting the Six Meridian Divine Sword and was feeling incredibly satisfied; after all, having more skills is never a burden, and one can never have too many good techniques.

Next, Lu Chen set up a camping spot in the Kunlun Sacred Realm. With the experience from Ice and Fire Island, setting up a wooden house went smoothly.

Now that Lu Chen's Heaven-Defying divine skills were complete and he had mastered various Lu Ban divine techniques, combined with the power of the four swords of zhuxian, he could handle various components and mortise-and-tenon structures while multitasking. He controlled four Flying Swords to complete this carpentry work.

It counted as a practice run for Artifact Refining, even though it was just wood.

In time, carving refined steel would certainly be effortless.

Within a few days, the camping cabin was arranged properly.

A row of four wooden houses looked a bit like a resort from later generations.

Waiting for them to be put to use in a few days, as for the bedding and furniture, Lu Chen made a few trips to the Zhu-Wu Linked Villa and got everything sorted.

Even four vanity sets from the Zhu-Wu Linked Villa were brought over by Lu Chen.

For such trivial matters, Zhu Changling and Wu Lie naturally spared no effort.

Seeing his campsite arranged, Lu Chen no longer lingered.

With a tap of his toes, his body flew into the sky like an arrow released from a string.

"Sword Control Technique, rise!"

Lu Chen gave a light shout, and his body landed steadily on the zhu xian sword, turning into a stream of light as it sped off into the distance.

He hadn't forgotten the main business; he needed to quickly notify the Ming Cult people to come and take over the Zhu-Wu Linked Villa—oh no, it should be called Shangqing Palace now.

Lu Chen found a Ming Cult branch and wrote a letter to Yang Xiao, ordering him to send people to take over the property and handle the renovations.

The branch members released a carrier pigeon, which flapped its wings a few times and instantly disappeared into the clouds.

Lu Chen watched the pigeon fly away, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smug smile.

"Dadu, heaven-reliant sword, here I come," Lu Chen muttered to himself.

...

Bright Peak, Ming Cult headquarters.

Yang Xiao was sitting in the council hall, handling affairs of the cult.

Suddenly, a cult member ran in hurriedly, knelt on the ground, and presented a letter with both hands.

"Reporting to the Left Emissary, a message sent by carrier pigeon from the Sect Master!"

Yang Xiao raised an eyebrow, took the letter, opened it, and was immediately stunned.

"Shangqing Palace? What place is this?" Yang Xiao looked puzzled.

He read the letter carefully and finally understood; it turned out Lu Chen had bought the Zhu-Wu Linked Villa, renamed it Shangqing Palace, and wanted him to send people to take it over and renovate it properly.

"This... what is the Sect Master trying to do?" Yang Xiao was full of doubts.

He thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, having a bold guess in his mind.

"Could it be... that the Sect Master is getting married?" The more Yang Xiao thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

"Sect Master Lu, Cult Leader Yin, and Miss Ji are in love, and now that he has bought such a large estate, isn't it for getting married!" Yang Xiao muttered to himself.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiao became excited.

Sect Master Lu marrying the Leader of the Ming Cult was a joyous occasion for the Ming Cult!

"No, I must prepare properly, I absolutely cannot let Sect Master Lu down!" Yang Xiao made up his mind.

He immediately summoned the skilled craftsmen of the Ming Cult and sent out the best craftsmen on Bright Peak.

"Listen, the Sect Master has bought the Zhu-Wu Linked Villa and wants to rename it Shangqing Palace. You must go quickly to take it over and renovate it," Yang Xiao said to the crowd.

"Remember, this is the most important matter in the cult. You must give me your absolute best effort, renovate this Shangqing Palace beautifully, and do not be sloppy in the slightest!"

"Understood, sir!" everyone replied in unison.

"Also, the renovation of this Shangqing Palace must be done according to the standards of a bridal chamber!" Yang Xiao specifically emphasized.

"Bridal chamber?" The crowd was stunned, then all showed "knowing" smiles.

"Don't worry, Left Emissary, we will definitely renovate the Shangqing Palace like a palace, ensuring that Sect Master Lu and Cult Leader Yin are satisfied!" A craftsman leader patted his chest and guaranteed.

"Good! Very good!" Yang Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

"By the way, the Sect Master also brought back a lot of gold and silver. Use it as much as you need; if it's not enough, withdraw more from the cult. In short, you must renovate the Shangqing Palace to perfection!" Yang Xiao waved his hand and said generously.

"Yes!" The crowd replied again, full of energy.

Yang Xiao watched their departing backs, feeling secretly proud.

"Hehe, Sect Master, oh Sect Master, just wait and see; I, Yang Xiao, will definitely host a magnificent wedding for you!" Yang Xiao thought happily.

He still remembered that Lu Chen had taught him the third level of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth Mind-Cultivation Technique and promised to teach him the fourth level once he mastered the third.

This made Yang Xiao deeply grateful and even more loyal to Lu Chen.

"Sect Master Lu has shown me such great kindness; I, Yang Xiao, have no way to repay him, so I can only do my best to solve problems for Sect Master Lu!" Yang Xiao swore silently.

"This time, when Sect Master Lu gets married, I must renovate the Shangqing Palace beautifully so that the Sect Master and his two wives can live comfortably!" Yang Xiao reaffirmed his thoughts.

While Yang Xiao was busily preparing the "bridal chamber," completely unaware that he had misunderstood, Lu Chen was riding his Flying Sword, leisurely arriving at Dadu.

Dadu, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, was bustling with traffic and people, extremely lively.

However, Lu Chen had no intention of going shopping. His purpose for this trip was clear—the heaven-reliant sword.

As for the rest, he would deal with it after getting the sword.

He didn't bother visiting Prince Ruyang; it was too troublesome, and it was much easier to just go to the military camp and take it.

He strolled swaggeringly into the military camp where Prince Ruyang was stationed.

"Who goes there?" At the entrance of the camp, the guarding soldiers saw Lu Chen dressed as a Jianghu practitioner and immediately became vigilant.

Lu Chen ignored them and walked straight inside.

"Stop! Anyone who trespasses into the military camp will be killed without mercy!" The soldiers drew their swords, blocking Lu Chen's path.

Lu Chen did not stop, as if he didn't see the swords and shadows in front of him.

"Courting death!" The soldiers were furious and swung their blades at Lu Chen.

But just then, a strange scene occurred.

The soldiers' blades swept an arc in the air but suddenly stopped.

Their eyes became empty, and their movements became stiff, as if they had been hit by a freezing spell.

Lu Chen smiled slightly, flashed, and passed through them, entering the military camp.

"Soul Shifting Great Method, it is indeed useful," Lu Chen thought.

Of course, his Soul Shifting Great Method had been empowered by the Myriad elephant Treasure Codex and was even more powerful.

Inside the camp, patrolling soldiers walked back and forth, heavily guarded.

"Stop! What are you doing!"

A patrolling officer saw Lu Chen and shouted.

But before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly froze.

His eyes became confused, as if he had lost his soul.

"General, what is wrong with you?" The soldiers beside him asked hurriedly.

"Nothing... I'm a bit tired, I'll go back and rest." The officer rubbed his temples and turned to leave.

The soldiers looked at each other, confused, completely unable to understand the situation.

Just like that, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lu Chen walked smoothly to the outside of the main military tent.

"No entry for idlers!"

The personal guards outside the tent reached out to stop Lu Chen.

"Stop! Password!" the guard shouted.

Lu Chen smiled slightly, a flash of light in his eyes.

"I am your father."

"Father!" one of the guards answered subconsciously.

The other guard was also stunned.

Lu Chen had already strode into the main military tent.

"You... you..." The two guards pointed at Lu Chen's back, stammering for a long time without saying anything.

"What about me? Why don't you go prepare wine and food for your father!" Lu Chen's voice came from inside the tent.

"Yes... yes..." The two guards actually responded as if possessed, turning to prepare wine and food.

Inside the tent, the furnishings were simple and majestic.

On the command platform, there was a tiger-skin chair, and it was empty. It seemed that Prince Ruyang was not in the army.

Beside the chair, there was a long sword inserted.

On the scabbard, seven gems were embedded: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, arranged in order, flashing with dazzling light.

On the hilt, a lifelike Dragon was carved, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, looking majestic and extraordinary.

"heaven-reliant sword?!"

Lu Chen stepped forward, reached out to grasp the hilt, and pulled it out gently.

A cold light flashed.

The blade was chilling and sharp, as if it could cut through everything in the world.

"It really is the heaven-reliant sword!"

Lu Chen couldn't help but exclaim.
