319: The world has changed dramatically, and the spiritual energy is full! Return home!

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Earth Venerable Realm Master (Major Achievement)

Cultivation Methods: Burning Heaven Blade Technique 11/9, Close Distance to the Horizon 11/9, Undying and Unextinguished 11/9.

Points: 2.5 million

One ten-pattern sun relic can extract one million system points.

Fourteen ten-pattern sun relics would be 14 million system points.

And that mysterious azure wood divine staff extracted 3 million system points.

Therefore, Lu Xuan gained a total of 17 million system points from this 150-year seclusion.

Adding the 500,000 system points he already possessed, Lu Xuan had a staggering sum of 17.5 million points!

However, in the end,

Lu Xuan realized he had rejoiced too soon.

Evolving those three martial arts cultivation methods beyond their limits to the 11th layer had consumed a massive 15 million of Lu Xuan's points.

Each martial arts cultivation method consumed 5 million system points!

Even now, Lu Xuan still felt immense heartache over the vanished 15 million system points.

The three martial arts cultivation methods Lu Xuan practiced could no longer be considered methods of the mortal world.

Because, after Lu Xuan evolved these three martial arts cultivation methods to the 11th layer,

the great world within him underwent an extremely peculiar change, seemingly possessing a trace of power that did not belong to the world's rules at all.

Lu Xuan suspected that this profound and mysterious power was very likely the power of an immortal!

The Power of Dao!

Only the Power of Dao of an immortal could transcend all restraints, including the power of world rules!

Therefore, the current Lu Xuan, while seemingly remaining at the Major Achievement of the Earth Venerable Realm,

in reality, his strength had already surpassed the existence of a Major Achievement Earth Venerable Realm Master, reaching the strength of a complete Earth Venerable Realm Master.

He was truly among the most top-tier human martial artists below immortals.

"Holy smokes!" A rough exclamation broke the tranquility among the mountains. "Such powerful Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy!"

Lu Xuan frowned slightly, turning his head to look in the direction of the sound.

He had just emerged from seclusion and was immersed in his comprehension of the Major Achievement Earth Venerable Realm, but was interrupted by this sudden commotion.

The next instant, the Divine Sense of Creation within Lu Xuan instantly unfolded, and the general outline of several thousand miles around appeared before Lu Xuan's eyes.

Several thousand meters away from the cave, high in the sky, ten human martial artists were rapidly cutting through the sky, flying towards him.

Each of these ten martial artists was flying through the air.

The weakest was at the initial stage of the Outer Strength Grandmaster Realm, and the middle-aged man leading them had even reached the Major Achievement of the Outer Strength Grandmaster Realm.

One hundred and fifty years ago, such a lineup would have been enough to sweep across the entire An Prefecture.

"Boss, hurry, it's in that cave ahead!"

Another sharp voice then rang out, full of greed.

"This is definitely a newly formed Blessed Land!"

"The Great Xia Dynasty's Heaven and Earth truly lives up to its name as a continent isolated for thousands of years."

The man's voice trembled with excitement, "This time, our Mingxian Sect has struck gold!"

In a flash, these ten figures had landed on the open ground in front of the cave.

They were uniformly dressed in moon-white robes with flowing gold cloud patterns embroidered on their cuffs, which seemed to be the emblem used by their sect.

The burly man at the head, with a full beard, held a long sword shimmering with iridescent light, its blade faintly gleaming with white silver, clearly a good weapon.

"Eh?"

"Someone's already here?"

The burly man with the beard was first stunned when he saw Lu Xuan sitting cross-legged inside the cave entrance.

Then, he showed a look of disdain.

In his perception, Lu Xuan only had a faint spiritual power fluctuation, at most an Inner Energy Realm martial artist.

Moreover, the burly man with the beard also saw Lu Xuan's face, consistent with that of a man in his twenties.

Obviously, all the inferred results told the burly man with the beard:

The Lu Xuan in front of him was just an Inner Energy Realm ant who had gotten lucky.

Otherwise, how could a cave with such rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy have been discovered by him first?

"Kid in front, this Blessed Land belongs to our Mingxian Sect."

"You've come to the wrong place."

The burly man with the beard waved his hand impolitely, like shooing away a fly, "If you know what's good for you, scram quickly, lest I have to make a move!"

"Senior Brother, why be polite to such a pretty boy?"

A disciple with a sharp face and monkey-like cheeks stepped forward, his eyes glinting with malicious light, and he sneered, "Just kill him and throw him down the mountain!"

Immediately after, he greedily took a deep breath of the rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy and continued to fan the flames: "This Blessed Land, with its rich spiritual energy, is the most abundant we have ever seen in our lives."

As he spoke, this sharp-faced, monkey-cheeked man's gaze swept back and forth over Lu Xuan.

"Maybe there's some heaven-defying treasure... that this pretty boy secretly hid!"

Before he finished speaking, this disciple suddenly leaped into mid-air, his figure like lightning, his right hand forming a claw, directly reaching for Lu Xuan's collar.

The movement was so fast it left afterimages, clearly intending to show off in front of his Senior Brother.

But anyone with a discerning eye could tell whether this man was truly considering the Mingxian Sect, that was uncertain.

In fact, this sharp-faced, monkey-cheeked cultivator, seeing Lu Xuan's extraordinary temperament and handsome, immortal-like appearance, felt the flames of jealousy burn fiercely in his heart.

Why was this pretty boy so outstanding?

He thought maliciously in his heart.

Once I rub your face in the dirt, let's see how you can still pretend!

However, just as his hands were still three feet away from Lu Xuan—

Lu Xuan looked up directly at the sharp-faced, monkey-cheeked man, not even raising an eyelid.

In an instant, the sharp-faced cultivator's figure strangely solidified in mid-air.

And he remained in his aggressive posture, the ferocious expression on his face also frozen.

The sharp-faced, monkey-cheeked man's eyes instantly filled with terror, yet he couldn't even move a single finger.

The next moment, Lu Xuan's finger moved slightly.

The sharp-faced cultivator, frozen in mid-air, was struck as if by lightning, and his entire body flew backward.

He drew a parabolic arc in the air, crashing heavily into the mountain wall a hundred meters away, directly embedding himself into it, forming a ' big' (big) shaped human indentation.

Looking at the splashed blood, it was clear that the man who attacked Lu Xuan was in dire straits.

All this happened too quickly; it wasn't until dust flew that the other Mingxian Sect disciples reacted.

The nine of them simultaneously took several steps back, their faces ashen.

The burly man with the beard's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and he forced himself to speak calmly: "S-senior, we are Mingxian Sect disciples, my master is... a Nascent Soul True Person!"

Lu Xuan impatiently waved his hand, and the silver-white treasured sword in the burly man's hand instantly turned to dust.

Then, a vast and profound pressure suddenly descended.

The nine Mingxian Sect disciples were instantly struck as if by lightning, all kneeling on the ground, blood oozing from their seven orifices.

The burly man at the head was even paler than dirt, his entire body pressed tightly against the ground like a dead dog, unable to move!

"S-senior..."

The burly man with the beard struggled to squeeze out two words, his eyes filled with terror and disbelief.

He never dreamed that this seemingly ordinary young man was actually an extremely terrifying martial artist!

He was definitely an supreme existence, a Nascent Soul True Person, just like his master!

Lu Xuan had already dealt with the person who attacked him.

As for those who hadn't had time to act, Lu Xuan didn't intend to eliminate them all.

These people were able to discover this cave precisely because after Lu Xuan broke through to the Major Achievement of the Earth Venerable Realm Master, he drew all the surrounding Heaven and Earth seals back into his inner world.

Therefore, it was a few wisps of aura that Lu Xuan inadvertently emitted that created the appearance of this Blessed Land, and also caused the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to rapidly become concentrated.

Not long after, Lu Xuan's figure gradually blurred, like starlight scattered by the wind, silently merging into the Heaven and Earth.

The Mingxian Sect disciples stood rooted to the spot, their bodies cold, even their own breathing seemed to freeze.

They had never seen such a terrifying existence—a mere glance, a simple lift of a hand, could make the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy submit.

Even... making these Outer Strength Grandmasters not even dare to think of resisting!

"Senior... Senior Brother..." A disciple spoke tremblingly.

"Who... who exactly is he?"

The burly man's face was ashen. He stared intently at the spot where Lu Xuan had disappeared, his throat dry, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a few words.

"You f***ing ask me, who should I ask?!"

"What are you useless trash still standing around for, hurry up and help me up."

At this moment, the burly man had been severely injured by Lu Xuan's terrifying pressure.

And after leaving the cave, Lu Xuan discovered an even more astonishing fact.

The Heaven and Earth of the Great Xia Dynasty had actually undergone significant changes!

"Hmm?"

Lu Xuan, high in the sky, took a deep breath, his pupils slightly constricted.

"Such rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, at least ten times stronger than before I went into seclusion!"

This was simply incredible.

And now, in just this short 150 years of his seclusion, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy of the Great Xia Dynasty had actually surged to such an extent?

Lu Xuan looked up at the sky, the phantom images of the sun, moon, and stars swirling in his eyes.

In his vision, the spiritual energy that should have been evenly distributed,

was now surging from all directions like ocean tides, filling the Heaven and Earth of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"So that's it!"

"The Heaven and Earth seals have disappeared!"

Lu Xuan, who had been flying in the sky, finally understood the reason for the changes in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.

"No wonder so many powerful martial artists have appeared in the Heaven and Earth of the Great Xia Dynasty!"

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan no longer flew leisurely, but instantly vanished into the void, heading towards the wisp of aura he had left behind years ago.

Qingyun County!

More than a hundred years had passed, yet this ancient city nestled among the mountains remained steadfast, as if long accustomed to the merciless baptism of time.

Qingyun County's city walls were covered with creeping vines, and the mottled stone bricks bore the marks of wind and rain.

On the streets, people came and went, vendors hawked, and children played. The mundane world, as it always was.

No one knew that at this very moment—

A figure appeared silently, hovering above Qingyun County.

Lu Xuan's black-gold long robe fluttered in the wind, and in his deep eyes, myriad worlds seemed to revolve.

He gazed quietly at the vigorous characters "Qingyun" on the city gate, his gaze slightly lost in thought.

"One hundred and fifty years..."

"This city hasn't changed much."

After Lu Xuan murmured a few words, he then stepped forward, his figure flickering.

In less than a breath's time, Lu Xuan had already appeared outside the main hall of the Lu Family Mansion.

Inside the main hall of the Lu Family Mansion.

A white-haired old man was seated steadily in the main seat.

He was Lu Yunan, Lu Xuan's half-brother, and also the current head of the Lu Family.

Recalling one hundred and fifty years ago, he too was once a spirited young man.

But time was like a knife; now, he was already old and frail, his face dignified, yet unable to conceal a deep weariness between his brows.

"Patriarch, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy fluctuations near Qingyun County have been abnormal recently, I'm afraid..."

A Lu Family elder spoke with concern.

Lu Yunan waved his hand, interrupting him.

"No matter, our Lu Family has stood for hundreds of years, what storms haven't we seen?"

Lu Yunan's voice was low, yet it carried an undeniable firmness.

However, just as his words fell—

Tap, tap, tap!

A light, rhythmic sound of footsteps suddenly came from the main hall's entrance.

The footsteps were neither hurried nor slow, yet they seemed to carry an invisible sense of pressure, instantly breaking the hall's original tranquility.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a tall, slender figure, silhouetted against the light, standing quietly outside the main hall's entrance.

The light was too dazzling, making it difficult to clearly see the person's face for a moment.

Lu Yunan and several Lu Family elders' expressions changed dramatically, and they instinctively stood up from their chairs instantly.

Lu Yunan and several Lu Family elders immediately narrowed their cloudy eyes, trying hard to see the newcomer clearly.

"Who dares trespass into my Lu Family?"

A Lu Family elder's question suddenly stopped short.

Because the figure against the light took a step forward, and the newcomer's face gradually became clear.

Lu Yunan heard his bones creak under the unbearable strain—he had unconsciously tensed all his muscles.

At this moment, an expression of disbelief appeared on Lu Yunan's aged face.

"You... you are..."

His voice trembled, as if he had seen the most incredible existence.

"B-Big Brother?"

The moment this address slipped out, the teacups in the hands of several elders simultaneously shattered.

Hot tea splashed onto the bluestone floor, rising in white steam carrying spiritual mist.

Those several Lu Family elders, younger than Lu Yunan, subconsciously uttered three words!

"Uncle Xuan?"

It wasn't until the young figure outside the hall chuckled softly and slowly spoke:

"Yunan, long time no see, you've aged quite a bit."

"!!!"

"!!!!!!"

Lu Xuan merely smiled faintly, his eyes gentle.

"What, you don't even recognize me?"

Lu Yunan suddenly stumbled and knelt on the ground, he was truly excited to the extreme.

Not long after, Lu Yunan's old, choked voice was muffled in the brick cracks.

"Big Brother, you're finally back."

"These one hundred and fifty years... you finally... finally..."

Lu Yunan, who had stood up, suddenly looked extremely eager.

"Oh, Big Brother, come with me quickly, Father has been missing you very much!"

Lu Xuan merely nodded gently, he naturally sensed his father's location.
