240: With the power of laws, the divine palace expanded several times!

Inside the quiet room, the black crystal box in front of Lu Xuan trembled slightly without warning.

Although there was no trace of wind in the surrounding space, the lid seemed to be gently pushed by an invisible hand, slowly opening.

Inside the box, a miniature black tree lay quietly, only about the size of a hand, looking ordinary, but emitting an indescribable faint light.

And just as Lu Xuan opened the box, a powerful and endless black current of air, like something that had been confined for a long time, finally got released.

The black current of air surged out with lightning speed.

This vibrant black current of air came fiercely, as if it wanted to break through the confines of the room and sweep outwards.

However, at this moment, outside the room, a purple spiritual energy shield emanating a mysterious glow appeared in the air.

Like a giant purple dome, it tightly enveloped the entire room.

This purple shield was incredibly tough, exuding an extremely terrifying aura.

It firmly blocked the wildly gushing black current of air, preventing it from advancing even an inch.

With the previous experience of facing a top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Objects, Lu Xuan immediately used his divine sense to seal off this area.

This was to prevent the terrifying spiritual energy from the Heavenly Spiritual Objects from leaking out and causing a sensational spiritual energy storm.

A hint of shock faintly appeared in Lu Xuan's eyes; the scene before him deeply shook his heart.

The spiritual energy in the room was so dense that it almost condensed into visible mist, permeating the air.

It was as if Lu Xuan could touch the moist spiritual essence just by reaching out.

Every wisp of spiritual energy flowed like a living thing, exuding a heart-palpitating life force.

And being in this dense spiritual energy, even a martial artist like Lu Xuan, who had already stepped into the Divine Palace Realm, felt an unprecedented sense of pleasure.

The rich spiritual energy of the black spirit wood seemed to penetrate everywhere, seeping into his body through his pores, nourishing his flesh, meridians, and even his soul.

His body involuntarily relaxed, as if every cell was cheering, greedily absorbing the purest spiritual energy in this world.

"Such dense spiritual energy, it's simply unheard of…"

Lu Xuan murmured in a low voice, both shocked and secretly excited.

If he hadn't immediately sealed off this area with such a level of spiritual energy concentration, it was highly likely to cause unpredictable consequences.

Perhaps, the spiritual energy of this black spirit wood would have rushed straight to the heavens, extending throughout the entire Great Xia Capital.

Lu Zheng took a deep breath, feeling the comfortable sensation of spiritual energy flowing within his body, while also quickly adjusting his mindset.

Then, his gaze was fixed on the top of the black spirit wood, where a point of pure black faint light was constantly emitting astonishing power fluctuations.

Is it the power of law?

"This Heavenly Spiritual Objects, the black spirit wood… I'm afraid it's even more precious than I imagined."

Lu Xuan pondered in his heart, a hint of fervor flashing in his eyes.

He held his breath, his Divine Palace Realm quietly operating, and terrifying divine sense swept out from his entire body.

Under the guidance of Lu Xuan's divine sense, that Heavenly Spiritual Objects—the black spirit wood—slowly detached from the box, suspended in mid-air, and slowly moved towards Lu Xuan.

The black spirit wood was pitch-black, yet its surface faintly emitted a deep glow, as if it could devour all surrounding light.

On its surface, every inch of texture contained an indescribable spiritual essence, as if it were formed from the condensation of profound, natural mysteries.

As the black spirit wood approached, the spiritual energy around Lu Xuan became even denser.

The watery spiritual energy, like an ocean of spiritual energy, almost submerged his figure.

Lu Xuan no longer hesitated, reaching out to gently touch the surface of the black spirit wood.

In an instant, a cool and deep power surged into his body through his fingertips, as if to pull him into endless darkness.

Lu Xuan's heart tensed, and his physical body suddenly radiated a golden light, protecting his entire being.

"It seems there's no trickery involved.", Lu Xuan muttered to himself, his last bit of caution disappearing.

In this instant, Lu Xuan's divine sense thoroughly checked this black spirit wood several times.

Other than the pure spiritual energy it contained, there was no other power.

After confirming the safety of the black spirit wood, Lu Xuan no longer hesitated.

He extended his right hand, spreading his five fingers, and endless purple light emanated from his palm.

Thick, materialized purple divine sense, like nimble purple threads, frantically intertwined and wrapped around the black spirit wood layer by layer, making it airtight.

Having done all this, Lu Xuan did not hesitate in the slightest, and suddenly opened his mouth.

A powerful suction force emanated from his mouth, and the black spirit wood, wrapped in his divine sense, was instantly swallowed by Lu Xuan.

As the black spirit wood entered Lu Xuan's body, it immediately stirred up a storm of spiritual energy.

The pure spiritual energy of the black spirit wood, like a torrent, washed over Lu Xuan's meridians, nourishing every inch of his flesh.

As this vast spiritual energy continuously poured in, deep within Lu Xuan's Divine Palace Realm.

The purple divine sense figure sitting cross-legged suddenly opened its eyes at this moment.

The purple divine sense figure's eyes were as deep as the starry sky, seemingly containing endless mysteries and power.

Immediately after, the body of the purple divine sense figure grew at a visible speed under the nourishment of the spiritual energy.

Its originally somewhat ethereal figure gradually solidified into a transparent liquid form, constantly emitting a heart-palpitating pressure.

It seemed that the purple divine sense figure was only one step away from completely transforming into a Nascent Soul True Person!

And the terrifying aura around Lu Xuan was growing at an extremely fast rate.

The profound golden light radiating from his physical body also seemed to undergo an incredible transformation, exuding astonishing life force.

However, Lu Xuan did not relax in the slightest; with his current physical body, under the blessing of Undying and Unextinguished, it could be called terrifyingly powerful.

Even if top-grade spiritual energy entered his body again, it would only be instantly refined.

But at this moment, facing this Heavenly Spiritual Objects, Lu Xuan surprisingly felt a faint sense of powerlessness, finding its refinement quite strenuous.

Lu Xuan's mind stirred, and his divine sense firmly controlled the flow of the black spirit wood's spiritual energy.

Ensuring that every wisp of pure spiritual energy could be perfectly absorbed by his physical body.

Looking closely, Lu Xuan's figure was faintly discernible in the dense spiritual energy, as if he had merged with this area.

Only his tightly closed eyes occasionally had a faint purple light flashing across them.

Three days later!

The rampant spiritual energy in the room had already been completely absorbed by Lu Xuan, not a single drop remaining.

Lu Xuan still maintained his cross-legged posture, sitting steadily on the cushion on the floor.

Then, Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze calm and unfathomably deep, making it difficult to discern his emotions.

"The Divine Palace Realm has expanded several times!"

"Is it the influence of that wisp of black spirit wood's law power?"

Within Lu Xuan's Divine Palace Realm, the purple divine sense figure, surrounded by purple spiritual energy, sat quietly in the deepest part of the Divine Palace Realm.

Its body glowed with purple light, and every flicker of light released astonishing ripples of fluctuation.

After the Divine Palace Realm expanded several times, Lu Xuan felt that his divine sense had also become several times stronger.

With Lu Xuan's current powerful divine sense, even at the Minor Achievement of the Divine Palace Realm, he could easily crush a Nascent Soul True Person at the Major Achievement of the Divine Palace Realm!

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Divine Abode True Person (Minor Achievement)

Cultivation Techniques: Burning Heaven Blade Technique 4/9 (Can be deduced), Close Distance to the Horizon 1/9 (Can be deduced), Undying and Unextinguished 4/9 (Can be deduced)

Points: 182660

Please confirm, whether to consume 50000 system points to deduce Undying and Unextinguished!

Please confirm, whether to consume 40000 system points to deduce Close Distance to the Horizon.

Please confirm, whether to consume 110000 system points to deduce Burning Heaven Blade Technique.

That Heavenly Spiritual Objects, the black spirit wood, actually provided him with 150,000 system points.

This massive amount of system points was five times more than a top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Objects.

"Almost there, the system points are enough to deduce the Burning Heaven Blade Technique to the fifth level."

Lu Xuan murmured in a low voice, his gaze falling on the Wind Fire Blade in the distance.

Immediately, Lu Xuan reached out and made a grasping motion, his divine sense intertwining like invisible threads.

The Wind Fire Blade immediately let out a soft hum, then transformed into a streak of light, flying towards Lu Xuan and landing steadily in his right palm.

"And this Wind Fire Blade also needs to be refined."

Now that Lu Xuan already had the seven-pattern Moon-tier Nether Flame Dark Saber, this two-pattern Chen-tier Wind Fire Blade seemed a bit redundant.

Therefore, Lu Xuan planned to refine the Wind Fire Blade into system points as well.

Last time, after Lu Xuan refined the two-pattern Chen-tier Earth Morning Staff obtained from the An Princes Mansion, he gained 15,000 system points.

Now, Lu Xuan estimated that refining this Wind Fire Blade would also yield around 15,000 system points.

Lu Xuan's gaze moved from the Wind Fire Blade, slowly turning to the distance.

There, an ancient bronze staff lay quietly on the ground, its surface covered with mottled patterns, full of traces of time.

"It's just a pity, if this thing could be refined."

"Perhaps it could also bring an unexpected surprise."

Lu Xuan muttered to himself, a hint of regret and contemplation flashing in his eyes.

This bronze staff was what he had obtained from that Wu Family person before.

Although this sacrificial artifact looked ordinary, Lu Xuan could tell from the power the Wu Family person had used.

It must contain a much stronger power of heaven and earth origin than the Wind Fire Blade.

Forget it, I'll settle accounts with that Wu Family person later if I get the chance.

Hmm, and there's also the so-called Prince An, Xia Mingqing; Lu Xuan also needs to find an opportunity to secretly deal with him.

Lu Xuan doesn't like being constantly targeted by others, even if he is from the Great Xia Dynasty, it's unacceptable.

At this moment, in Lu Xuan's mind, the system panel's prompt sounded clearly: "Detected power of heaven and earth origin, extract?"

"Extract!"

Lu Xuan made the decision without hesitation, then closed his eyes again, focusing all his attention on the system panel.

At the same time, the Wind Fire Blade, held tightly in Lu Xuan's hand, began to undergo drastic changes.

On the surface of the Wind Fire Blade's blade, the patterns gradually blurred, as if being erased by an invisible force.

In just a few breaths, the Wind Fire Blade completely degenerated from a two-pattern Chen-tier artifact into mere scrap iron, losing all its profound qualities.

And on Lu Xuan's system panel, the 182660 system points immediately became 197660 system points.

Very good!

Lu Xuan glanced at the Burning Heaven Blade Technique and Close Distance to the Horizon, then let out a low growl without hesitation, his voice carrying a hint of anticipation and determination.

"Deduce!"

Next, it was time to break through to the Major Achievement of the Divine Palace Realm.

Nascent Soul True Person!

… … … …

During the time Lu Xuan was in seclusion cultivating, the entire Great Xia Capital and the various Fu Cities of the Great Xia Dynasty were all shocked by a sudden imperial decree.

This imperial decree came directly from the highest ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty—Empress Xia Mingyue!

"By His Majesty's decree, proclaim to all under heaven!"

As the Empress's decree was conveyed, the Blackbird Guard branches in various Fu Cities of the Great Xia Dynasty began to boil.

Because from this day forward, the Great Xia Dynasty Blackbird Guard would establish a fourth Vice Director.

And this newly appointed Vice Director was precisely Lu Xuan!

Not only that, the Empress also bestowed upon Lu Xuan a Purple Extreme Xuan Bird Robe, symbolizing supreme status.

The Purple Extreme Xuan Bird Robe was the highest-level attire in the Blackbird Guard, bar none.

Only the Blackbird Guard Lord was qualified to wear it!

It not only symbolized status but also represented the Empress's trust and high regard.

Therefore, Lu Xuan's name spread throughout every major force in the Great Xia Capital overnight.

"Lu Xuan? Who is this new Vice Director? How could he make the Empress personally issue a decree and even bestow the Purple Extreme Xuan Bird Robe!"

"I heard he's young but already a Divine Palace Realm expert, and he made great contributions during the chaos in the Southern Ming Prefecture, deeply favored by His Majesty!"

"Not only that, it's said that he once single-handedly defeated a Nascent Soul True Person at the Major Achievement of the Divine Palace Realm; his strength is simply unfathomable!"

Within the Blackbird Guard headquarters in the Great Xia Capital, almost all Earth Rank Xuan Bird Guard had a general understanding of this new Vice Director, Lu Xuan.

Of course, as for why these rumors about Lu Xuan leaked out?

That was naturally the information specifically released by Mu Yun and Li Chengxing.

After all, for Lu Xuan to serve as the Blackbird Guard Vice Director, he naturally needed to do something to establish his authority.

At the same time, the major forces distributed throughout the Great Xia Capital were also filled with shock and curiosity, just like within the Blackbird Guard.

In a magnificent mansion, within a strict and secret grand hall, several old men dressed in luxurious robes gathered, their expressions varied.

On the table in front of these old men, lay a thin white paper, covered with text, all information about Lu Xuan.

This was the news sent back by their informants planted within the Blackbird Guard.

After these few old men finished reading the news, their hearts were turbulent.

"Lu Xuan… This person is indeed not simple.", a middle-aged man in a black luxurious robe said in a low voice, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

"It seems that the decision we made will probably have to be changed."

Another white-haired old man stroked his beard and sighed, his tone filled with deep emotion.

"That one personally issued a decree and bestowed the Purple Extreme Xuan Bird Robe; this is an unprecedented honor."

"Indeed, the plan must be changed."

"Where did Wu Jiu, that Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow), go?"

Just as the few of them were about to stand up and prepare to send someone to find Wu Jiu.

The main door of the grand hall was suddenly pushed open with immense force.

The heavy wooden door slammed against the wall, emitting a dull thud that shook the entire grand hall.

An old man in a purple robe walked in, fuming with anger.

And he was precisely Wu Jiu, the Wu Family person who had escaped from Lu Xuan's hands back then!

Wu Jiu's face was ashen, his eyes flashing with angry light.

Clearly, he had already learned the news of Lu Xuan's promotion to Vice Director and being granted the Purple Extreme Xuan Bird Robe.

Good kid!

He had still underestimated Lu Xuan, this brat.

He hadn't expected that a martial artist at the Divine Palace Realm who had only recently broken through could gain the favor of that one.

In that case, his plan to seek revenge with the help of the Wu Family's ancestors would fall through.

Wu Jiu sighed softly, a hint of helplessness and resentment flashing in his eyes.
