242: Li Chengxing was stunned! The head of Xuanniao Guards is back?

Lu Xuan whispered, his voice filled with unconcealed shock.

“Is this the power possessed by a Nascent Soul True Person at the Major Achievement of the Divine Palace Realm?”

Immediately, Lu Xuan’s mind stirred, and the scene within his God Palace unfolded slowly in his mind like a dreamlike scroll.

The scale of Lu Xuan’s God Palace had expanded by nearly tenfold compared to when he was at the Minor Achievement of the Divine Palace Realm!

Within the vast and boundless God Palace vortex, the purple spiritual consciousness figure seated within had been completely transformed, reborn anew.

The ethereal purple spiritual consciousness figure, which originally still had some purple mist swirling around it, had now completely solidified into a liquid form.

At the same time, around the purple spiritual consciousness figure, an ethereal purple light continuously flowed, seemingly resonating with the mysterious heavens and earth.

All these changes stemmed from that wisp of profound law power from the black spirit wood.

Ever since Lu Xuan broke through to the Major Achievement of the Divine Palace Realm, he felt his control over the power of heaven and earth was even greater than before.

According to Lu Xuan’s estimation, his strength had increased by at least ten times.

With the Major Achievement of the Divine Palace Realm and the power of the fifth layer of the Burning Heaven Blade Technique,

even against a martial artist at the Divine Palace Realm Completion, Lu Xuan could guarantee a sure victory.

Currently, Lu Xuan, unless he encountered a martial artist who surpassed the Divine Palace Realm Completion,

otherwise, Lu Xuan had no fear of anyone at all.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Nascent Soul True Person (Major Achievement)

Cultivation Methods: Burning Heaven Blade Technique 5/9, Close Distance to the Horizon 2/9, Undying and Unextinguished 4/9.

Points: 47660

The Burning Heaven Blade Technique finally broke through to the fifth layer, and it took Lu Xuan 110,000 system points to deduce it to the fifth layer.

And deducing Close Distance to the Horizon to the second layer took Lu Xuan 40,000 system points.

These two martial art cultivation methods combined consumed a total of 150,000 system points from Lu Xuan.

This left Lu Xuan with only 47,660 system points from his original 197,660 system points.

This breakthrough did not cause as much commotion as previous ones.

This was because Lu Xuan had made preparations, laying down his spiritual consciousness power in advance to isolate this space from the outside world.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the room surged and churned, but it was firmly confined within the room by Lu Xuan’s power of heaven and earth, with no possibility of leakage.

Lu Xuan roughly estimated that he had been in seclusion here for about ten days.

In just over ten days, Lu Xuan broke through to the Major Achievement of the Divine Palace Realm in one go, becoming a Nascent Soul True Person.

If such terrifying cultivation speed were to spread, the entire cultivation world would likely be shaken, stirring up enormous waves.

One must know that ordinary Divine Palace Realm martial artists usually take several years to completely solidify their spiritual consciousness figure into a spiritual consciousness Nascent Soul.

Even some astonishing martial arts geniuses would take at least several months.

However, under the effect of the system panel deducing cultivation methods, Lu Xuan encountered virtually no hindrance when breaking through martial arts realms.

Lu Xuan quietly circulated the Nascent Soul power within his body, feeling the surging Nascent Soul power flowing within his God Palace, and pondered to himself.

Very good, with my current strength, as long as I act with extreme caution and combine it with the profound and unparalleled Martial Art Body Technique like Close Distance to the Horizon,

I can travel unimpeded within this Great Xia Dynasty, and no one can easily stop me.

However, in the next moment, Lu Xuan suddenly thought of some powerful and mysterious things.

Immediately, Lu Xuan’s expression turned serious, and a hint of dread flashed in his eyes.

“However, if I were to face those things, I would still need to be extremely careful and not be complacent in the slightest.”

“If I’m not careful, I might very likely suffer an unexpected setback and fall into a place of eternal damnation.”

In this vast Great Xia Dynasty, there were very few things that could make Lu Xuan, a Nascent Soul True Person, feel apprehension.

And the extremely mysterious ten-pattern sun-grade sacrificial artifact was one of them.

Ever since Lu Xuan was born, he had heard of the renown of the ten-pattern sun-grade sacrificial artifact.

In those true or false rumors, the ten-pattern sun-grade sacrificial artifact contained power that could destroy heaven and earth.

The ten-pattern sun-grade sacrificial artifact could shatter mountains and rivers and dim the sun and moon with a mere flick of the wrist.

However, Lu Xuan had never witnessed the true appearance of a ten-pattern sun-grade sacrificial artifact with his own eyes.

Currently, in this capital city,

only the Great Xia Imperial Palace, the mysterious Eight Great Families, and the five transcendent forces possessed ten-pattern sun-grade sacrificial artifacts.

These colossal forces, relying on the deterrent power of the ten-pattern sun-grade sacrificial artifact,

occupied a crucial position in the entire power and strength structure of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Even the Great Xia Dynasty would be constrained by the existence of the ten-pattern sun-grade sacrificial artifact.

As long as these major forces did not harm the fundamental interests of the Great Xia Dynasty,

even the Great Xia Emperor would choose to turn a blind eye and give these forces some face.

“ten-pattern sun-grade sacrificial artifact… If I have the chance, I would like to witness them firsthand and see if they are truly as terrifying as the legends say.”

Lu Xuan murmured softly, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Anyway, Lu Xuan had already experienced the power of sacrificial artifacts below the ten-pattern sun-grade sacrificial artifact.

Lu Xuan gently raised his right arm, his right hand slowly reaching into his embrace, his clothes rustling slightly with the movement.

Before long, Lu Xuan took out a palm-sized black square object.

Its surface appeared deep and dark, as if it could swallow all light.

This black square object was the Xufu Realm bestowed upon him by Empress Xia Mingyue!

The size of the space within the Xufu Realm was about five times larger than the room Lu Xuan was in.

Such a vast space was completely sufficient for Lu Xuan to use.

And the method of using the Xufu Realm was not complicated, similar to the recognition process of a sacrificial artifact.

One only needed to inject a trace of one’s own power into it, leaving a unique imprint belonging to oneself, and then one could control this Xufu Realm at will.

Lu Xuan’s spiritual consciousness stirred, instantly connecting with the Xufu Realm, and the space within the Xufu Realm clearly appeared before Lu Xuan’s eyes.

A profound black saber, about half of Lu Xuan’s height, was quietly suspended within the Xufu Realm.

On the blade of the great saber were many naturally formed patterns, and the blade occasionally emitted a deep, ethereal light.

The light was sometimes cold and sometimes scorching, like a raging inferno burning in the abyss of hell, exuding a chilling aura.

“Nether Flame Dark Saber!”

“Seven-pattern Moon Artifact!”

In a trance, without knowing when, the Nether Flame Dark Saber, which was originally quietly stored deep within the Xufu Realm, had silently disappeared from the Xufu Realm.

At this moment, it was gently floating in front of Lu Xuan, and as the Nether Flame Dark Saber hovered in mid-air, the surrounding air rippled with a visibly chilling aura.

Lu Xuan slowly raised his right hand, moving unhurriedly, and his fingertips gently caressed the blade.

Through his fingertips, Lu Xuan could feel the terrifying power contained within the Nether Flame Dark Saber.

Before long, Lu Xuan’s hand slowly slid down, his five fingers slightly closing, firmly grasping the hilt of the Nether Flame Dark Saber.

In an instant, Lu Xuan’s spiritual consciousness power surged wildly into the Nether Flame Dark Saber.

Immediately after, a powerful and familiar force surged up Lu Xuan’s right arm, spreading throughout his entire body.

“What pure power of the origin of heaven and earth!”

Such powerful origin power of heaven and earth made Lu Xuan murmur.

The moment he grasped the Nether Flame Dark Saber, the vast origin power of heaven and earth surged towards him like turbulent ocean waves.

This origin power of heaven and earth was unfathomable and boundless, like an endless ocean.

The Wind Fire Blade that Lu Xuan had used before, the origin power of heaven and earth contained within that Wind Fire Blade, had once made him feel quite extraordinary.

But compared to the Nether Flame Dark Saber now, it was like heaven and earth, completely insignificant.

If the origin power of heaven and earth of the Wind Fire Blade were compared to a calm lake,

then the origin power of heaven and earth of the Nether Flame Dark Saber was a mighty, ceaselessly flowing river, surging endlessly with magnificent momentum.

The difference between the two was clear at a glance.

“Never mind, there’s still plenty of time right now.”

“I should first stabilize my spiritual consciousness Nascent Soul.”

Lu Xuan slowly reined in his surging emotions, and the aura around him gradually dissipated.

And the Nether Flame Dark Saber in Lu Xuan’s hand seemed to be enveloped by an invisible force.

In the next instant, the Nether Flame Dark Saber transformed into a deep, ethereal light, carrying alternating cold and hot auras, and swiftly submerged into the Xufu Realm.

In the blink of an eye, this enormous Nether Flame Dark Saber completely vanished without a trace right before Lu Xuan’s eyes.

Following that, Lu Xuan raised his gaze and stared at the direction where the Nether Flame Dark Saber had disappeared.

He raised his right hand, and his five fingers quickly closed in the air, as if grasping something invisible.

The next moment, Lu Xuan’s spiritual consciousness erupted fiercely, and he made a grabbing motion in the void.

The Xufu Realm, suspended in mid-air, trembled slightly under the pull of this powerful suction force.

Then it flew rapidly towards Lu Xuan’s right palm and landed steadily.

After doing all this, Lu Xuan gently waved his right hand.

The purple power of heaven and earth, which had originally enveloped the outside of the room like a dome, instantly disappeared.

Sealing off this space was not an easy task for Lu Xuan.

During these long ten-plus days, Lu Xuan continuously outputted spiritual consciousness power to stabilize the barrier that isolated the heavens and earth.

The spiritual consciousness power he consumed could be described as massive.

Even though Lu Xuan’s God Palace was as vast as an abyss and his spiritual consciousness power was endless, he still felt a faint sense of fatigue and pressure at this moment.

Outside the room, after the dense purple power of heaven and earth dissipated, Lu Xuan closed his eyes again.

Lu Xuan estimated that stabilizing the spiritual consciousness Nascent Soul within his God Palace would only take about a day.

While Lu Xuan was stabilizing his spiritual consciousness Nascent Soul, outside several adjacent courtyards,

within the Blackbird Guard main hall, the atmosphere appeared very solemn and peaceful.

Li Chengxing sat upright on the chairs on both sides of the main hall, his posture straight, his expression focused and serious.

At this moment, he was conversing in a low voice with two Earth Rank Xuan Bird Guards, discussing some top-secret matters.

As the three conversed, they occasionally frowned slightly, and at times slowly nodded their chins, their every move exuding steadiness and competence.

Among them, the two Earth Rank Xuan Bird Guards sitting opposite Li Chengxing continuously exuded a strong murderous aura.

“You two will secretly go to the Western Regions Extreme Lands, Xihuangzhou, and investigate discreetly.”

“Do not publicize this matter. You two must pay attention to your safety; that Great General Zhenxi is a Nascent Soul True Person.”

“Once you find some clues, immediately contact this Lord, or Lord Lu!”

As Li Chengxing’s words fell, a thick Gale Force power surged out from his body.

Under this powerful Gale Force, a visible ripple subtly appeared in the air.

One breath later, a crimson stream of light shot out from Li Chengxing’s embrace.

Its speed was as fast as lightning; upon closer inspection, it was a crimson crystal token.

Then, under the control of Li Chengxing’s profound Gale Force, this crimson crystal token steadily floated in front of the two people.

The crimson crystal token trembled slightly in the void, and the mysterious patterns on its surface continuously flickered with red light.

Among the two Earth Rank Xuan Bird Guards, one was an old man with a simple face and a steady aura.

“Chief Li, this is…”

At this moment, the old man slightly raised his head, his gaze following the crimson crystal token suspended in mid-air, his tone full of doubt and curiosity.

Finally, the old man slowly extended his hand and steadily took the token.

As the crimson crystal token entered his hand, the old man felt his palm sink, and a warm yet incredibly mysterious power transmitted through his fingertips.

He couldn’t help but gently caress the token’s surface, carefully examining the intricate and beautiful patterns on it, the inquisitiveness in his eyes growing more intense.

“Chief Li, this item of yours?”

Another Earth Rank Xuan Bird Guard old man fixed his gaze on the crimson crystal token.

His eyes were full of suspicion and contemplation as he slowly spoke, “Why do I feel it somewhat resembles your…”

Isn’t this the identification token of the Deputy Commander of the Xuan Niao Guard?

The Deputy Commander of the Xuan Niao Guard’s token was forged from Spirit-Communicating Red Crystal, a crystal that was extraordinary and only appeared in the Fell Spirit Ruin.

Spirit-Communicating Red Crystal could project images a thousand li away and transmit sound ten thousand li away.

Regarding the doubts of these two Earth Rank Xuan Bird Guards, Li Chengxing then unhurriedly began to answer.

“This is indeed Spirit-Communicating Red Crystal, but it is not this Lord’s spiritual token.”

“Within this token, there is the ability to directly transmit sound to Lord Lu.”

“You two are going to the Western Regions Extreme Lands, Xihuangzhou, this time. If you encounter an emergency, you can transmit sound to Lord Lu immediately.”

The two Earth Rank Xuan Bird Guards, hearing that this token could directly transmit sound to Lu Xuan, couldn’t help but reveal a hint of joy on their old faces, and they said in unison,

“Yes!”

Throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty, Lord Lu’s great name was simply like thunder.

Everyone knew him, everyone was aware of him!

He was a genuine martial artist standing at the pinnacle of the Great Xia Dynasty, an existence comparable to a Nascent Soul True Person.

Not long after the two Earth Rank Xuan Bird Guards departed, in the quiet main hall, Li Chengxing was deep in thought.

Suddenly, a clear and cold voice, without any warning, sounded in his ear, clear and sharp.

“Chief Li!”

“When Lord Lu comes out of seclusion, have him come to the Blackbird Guard main hall to find me!”

Li Chengxing’s expression froze, and he subconsciously straightened his back, his gaze swiftly sweeping around.

This voice!

Lord has returned!
