259: The bottleneck of the Void Realm! The power of the laws of heaven and earth!

In the continuous mountain ranges tens of miles away from Mingxin Prefecture.

Halfway up one of the mountains, a huge cave had been forcibly carved out by some unknown terrifying power.

Lu Xuan strolled to the mouth of the cave, and with a wave of his hand, a wall of purple flames rose out of thin air, sealing the entrance tightly.

The fiercely burning wall of purple flames emitted scorching high temperatures.

Just getting a little closer, one could feel the intense heat that rushed out, making people shudder and hesitate to approach.

Immediately after, Lu Xuan completely ignored the wall of purple flames, which was emitting extreme heat, and walked slowly into the cave with leisurely steps.

Lu Xuan's figure gradually merged into the purple fire wall, as if he had become one with the purple flames.

This wall of purple flames, personally set up by Lu Xuan, had every crevice filled with leaping purple fire tongues.

It was like an insurmountable chasm, not only capable of blocking outsiders but also an invisible deterrent, keeping all who dared to intrude out.

Of course, Lu Xuan setting up this wall of purple flames had another consideration.

He was about to fully deduce his Cultivation Technique inside the cave, and during the deduction process, terrifying power was very likely to dissipate.

Once this extremely powerful force leaked uncontrollably to the outside, it was very likely to cause abnormal changes in the Heaven and Earth Laws.

Lu Xuan did not want people outside to notice his existence.

After all, Lu Xuan knew that his great name was now widely known.

After entering the cave, its internal space was deep and spacious, large enough to accommodate a vast amount of things, just like a natural huge warehouse.

Lu Xuan's gaze casually swept over a spot, and he gently raised his right hand, grabbing sharply at the ground in a certain direction.

In an instant, the ground there shook violently as if struck by immense force, trembling uncontrollably.

Immediately after, the flat ground rumbled and bulged, and a huge stone, ten meters wide, broke out of the earth and then slowly floated into the air.

Once the giant stone was suspended in the air, it was tightly enveloped by a force from the Heaven and Earth.

This Heaven and Earth force transformed into countless sharp blades, continuously carving the giant stone.

In the blink of an eye, the enormous giant stone was sculpted into a smooth and clean stone platform.

Every corner was perfectly polished, and the surface was as flat as a mirror.

The next moment, this flawless stone platform, under the precise control of Lu Xuan's Divine Thought Primordial Spirit power, steadily landed in front of him.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan did not hesitate for a moment, immediately sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, his posture as straight as a pine tree.

He stared intently ahead, and the System panel in his mind also appeared before Lu Xuan's eyes at this moment.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Divine Abode True Person (Major Achievement)

Host, please confirm whether to spend 100,000 System points to deduce Close Distance to the Horizon!

Host, please confirm whether to spend 170,000 System points to deduce Burning Heaven Blade Technique.

Lu Xuan's gaze moved away from the points on the System panel, and a square, mystical black small box had quietly appeared in the palm of his right hand.

That was the Xufu Realm that Lu Xuan carried with him!

The Xufu Realm quietly floated on Lu Xuan's palm, its entire body continuously emitting mysterious and restrained ethereal light and Qi flow.

Immediately after, the Xufu Realm, after Lu Xuan infused his Divine Thought Primordial Spirit power into it,

Three ethereal lights, like arrows leaving a bowstring, swiftly shot out from within the Xufu Realm.

These three mystical black ethereal lights were precisely the items Lu Xuan had stored in the Xufu Realm.

These three items, each with a different form, were the sacrificial artifacts found in the ruins of the Wen Family mansion.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but narrow his eyes; a day ago, he had almost turned the entire Wen Family mansion upside down.

It took Lu Xuan a full day to find these three sacrificial artifacts.

What made Lu Xuan ecstatic was that among these three sacrificial artifacts, there was even an eight-pattern Moon-grade sacrificial artifact—the qingling pearl!

One must know that Moon-grade sacrificial artifacts are extremely rare existences throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, and each one that appears can trigger a bloody storm.

Not to mention an eight-pattern Moon-grade artifact; even in the Celestial Capital Xuan Bird Guard headquarters, there is only one eight-pattern Moon artifact, the Mystic Bird Sky Seal!

“This is a true great Opportunity!” Lu Xuan murmured, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement.

Even though Lu Xuan had seen many sacrificial artifacts before, when he directly faced this eight-pattern Moon artifact, his heart was still deeply shaken.

For a moment, Lu Xuan's mind even went blank, and his entire being was immersed in immense surprise, making his reactions sluggish.

Lu Xuan extended his left hand and gently took the eight-pattern Moon artifact, the qingling pearl, his eyes full of doubt, and he couldn't help but murmur, “How strange!”

At the same time, Lu Xuan frowned slightly, his expression showing thought and confusion.

“This Old Man, he clearly had the eight-pattern Moon artifact, the qingling pearl, why didn't he detonate it along with the seven-pattern Moon artifact, the Vastness Ruler?”

Recalling the process of searching for sacrificial artifacts in the Wen Family mansion, Lu Xuan's thoughts became clearer.

This eight-pattern Moon artifact, the qingling pearl, was found precisely where Wen Fengyuan detonated the seven-pattern Moon artifact, the Vastness Ruler.

In other words, this incomparably precious qingling pearl had actually been carried by Wen Fengyuan at all times.

Lu Xuan knew in his heart that this Old Man Wen Fengyuan did not choose to detonate the qingling pearl, absolutely not because he couldn't bear to part with it.

After all, how could an old monster as ruthless as Wen Fengyuan be reluctant to part with this one sacrificial artifact?

However, Lu Xuan did not know about Wen Fengyuan's desperate situation at the time; that purple-black flame blade light, carrying the power to destroy Heaven and Earth, instantly pushed Wen Fengyuan to the brink of life and death.

The terrifying extreme heat almost annihilated Wen Fengyuan entirely.

At that critical moment, Wen Fengyuan simply had no time to detonate the qingling pearl on him.

In desperation, he could only settle for the next best thing and hastily detonated the Vastness Ruler in his hand.

However, Lu Xuan was unaware of Wen Fengyuan's predicament.

Of course, Lu Xuan also had no desire to know.

In Lu Xuan's view, now that he had obtained the qingling pearl, that was the most important thing.

The remaining two sacrificial artifacts floated in mid-air.

One was a three-pattern Chen-grade sacrificial artifact, appearing like a long sword, with a slender blade faintly emitting an ancient luster.

The other was a six-pattern Star-grade sacrificial artifact, resembling an inkstone-shaped bronze artifact, with a delicate and perfect surface, constantly emitting profound and mysterious light.

“Last time, refining the seven-pattern Moon artifact, the Pure Lotus, from the Netherworld White Lotus Sect, I gained 80,000 System points.”

“Let me see how many System points this eight-pattern Moon artifact, the qingling pearl, can give me.”

Lu Xuan subconsciously clenched the qingling pearl in his left hand, his knuckles turning white from the force, which made the luster on the qingling pearl's surface even stronger.

Immediately after, Lu Xuan silently chanted in his mind, “Extract!” Although the voice was soft, it carried Lu Xuan's unquestionable determination.

As Lu Xuan confirmed, the qingling pearl in his hand instantly erupted with dazzling light.

The originally dim cave instantly became as bright as day.

However, this brilliance was fleeting, lasting only a few blinks of an eye.

The qingling pearl rapidly became dilapidated; its originally natural and mysterious patterns, as if relentlessly eroded by time, quickly faded from sight.

Only a lusterless, cracked pearl remained, as if the previous brilliance had never occurred.

Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze immediately falling upon the System panel.

“Increased by 160,000 System points!”

Upon seeing this number, Lu Xuan's expression was calm; it perfectly matched his estimation, so it did not surprise him too much.

The next moment, Lu Xuan did not stop, his gaze quickly directed towards the two sacrificial artifacts suspended in mid-air.

Then, he suddenly raised both hands, clenching them forcefully in the Void Realm, steadily catching both sacrificial artifacts with his left and right hands simultaneously.

“Extract!”

Lu Xuan's voice was low and powerful, echoing once again in the silent cave.

This time, the time it took Lu Xuan to refine these two sacrificial artifacts was considerably faster than the previous qingling pearl.

In just a few minutes, Lu Xuan casually tossed aside the two sacrificial artifacts, now dull and mundane, and turned to look at the System panel.

“The six-pattern Star-grade sacrificial artifact yielded 55,000 System points, and the three-pattern Chen-grade sacrificial artifact yielded 15,000 System points.”

“These 70,000 System points, plus the 160,000 System points obtained from the qingling pearl…” Lu Xuan murmured softly, his voice unconsciously tinged with a hint of joy.

“Which means, a total of 230,000 System points acquired!”

Although Lu Xuan tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, an undisguisable excitement still showed on his face.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Divine Abode True Person (Perfection)

Cultivation Technique: Burning Heaven Blade Technique 5/9 (Can be deduced), Close Distance to the Horizon 2/9 (Can be deduced), Undying and Unextinguished 4/9 (Can be deduced)

Points: 437660

Host, please confirm whether to spend 50,000 System points to deduce Undying and Unextinguished!

Host, please confirm whether to spend 100,000 System points to deduce Close Distance to the Horizon!

Host, please confirm whether to spend 170,000 System points to deduce Burning Heaven Blade Technique.

Lu Xuan repeatedly looked at these three martial Dao Cultivation Techniques twice, his gaze finally settling on the Burning Heaven Blade Technique.

After a slight pause, Lu Xuan's eyes suddenly sharpened, and a cry of “Deduce!” blurted out.

Lu Xuan wasn't just deducing it once; this time, he wanted to see if he could deduce the Burning Heaven Blade Technique twice.

As Lu Xuan confirmed the two deductions, the System panel did not prompt for insufficient System points.

In an instant, the 437,660 System points on the System panel immediately became 27,660 points.

The first deduction consumed 170,000 System points, and the second deduction consumed 240,000 System points.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan felt a pang of heartache, but before he could feel it for long, he closed his eyes again, sensing the transformation of the Burning Heaven Blade Technique!

Seven days passed in a flash.

From time to time, violent tremors emanated from the cave where Lu Xuan was located.

One after another, explosive roars, the momentum of which made one feel as if the mountains and earth were collapsing.

This boundless trembling force rapidly spread to the foot of the mountain, and even the surrounding continuous mountain ranges were not spared, being severely affected.

Sand and stones on the mountains rumbled down, tumbling and bouncing uncontrollably on the ground, making chaotic sounds.

Subsequently, countless rocks continuously fell towards the cliff, disappearing into the deep valley bottom.

However, the enchanting purple flame wall at the entrance of Lu Xuan's cave remained firmly blocking the entrance.

No matter how terrifying the power inside the cave, it remained as stable as Mount Tai, unmoving, completely isolating all power attempting to leak out.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Divine Abode True Person (Perfection)

Cultivation Technique: Burning Heaven Blade Technique 7/9, Close Distance to the Horizon 2/9, Undying and Unextinguished 4/9.

Points: 27660

“Divine Abode Perfection!”

After ending the deduction, Lu Xuan did not leave immediately, but instead focused his mind on the changes within his Divine Abode.

At this moment, Lu Xuan's previously completely liquefied purple Divine Abode had undergone an unimaginable transformation.

The Divine Abode, which was already as vast as an ocean, had now expanded by an unknown number of times.

Previously, Lu Xuan's Divine Abode, although boundless, could at least be fully perceived.

But now, Lu Xuan's Divine Abode had transformed into a profound, boundless Void Realm.

At the center of the Divine Abode, a profound purple vortex was slowly rotating.

That enchanting purple vortex was like a boundless, rootless galaxy from the depths of the starry sky, shimmering with specks of purple light, mysterious and profound.

Every flicker of purple light seemed to contain endless mysteries and power.

Above that purple vortex, Lu Xuan's Divine Thought Primordial Spirit was no longer just a simple increase in size, but was slowly establishing a wondrous connection with the purple vortex.

Between the two, there seemed to be an invisible force pulling, causing Lu Xuan's Divine Thought Primordial Spirit to slowly merge into the purple vortex.

As if at any moment, it could become one with it, peering into this endless mysterious power.

When Lu Xuan shifted his mind to his Divine Thought Primordial Spirit, an unprecedented immense power suddenly surged towards him.

However, with Lu Xuan's current martial Dao Realm, he was still unable to directly perceive the full extent of this power.

In the end, Lu Xuan could only faintly capture a trace of its aura from the purple vortex.

That aura contained endless mysteries and powerful energy, and it also felt somewhat familiar to Lu Xuan.

How is this somewhat similar to the aura of my own martial Dao Cultivation Technique?

Isn't this precisely the Heaven and Earth Laws that only a True Monarch of the Void Realm possesses?

At the same time, Lu Xuan could also clearly perceive that, in the midst of the unseen, there existed an invisible restraining force, like a heavy shackles, tightly binding him.

And this restraining force was precisely the Bottleneck of the martial Dao Realm, lying across Lu Xuan's path, hindering his further exploration of that mysterious power.

Void Realm!

Could the purple vortex that appeared in the center of the Divine Abode be the Heaven and Earth Laws that one can only control after breaking through to the Void Realm?
