565: Late night visit!

As night fell, the Second Elder settled the four individuals in the Wuji Pavilion's Guest House.

The Pavilion Master, Grand Elder, and Wuji Old Ancestor were still within the Eastern Region Relic, so currently, the Second Elder was the nominal head of Wuji Pavilion.

As time passed, more and more Cultivators rushed to this place!

Countless Cultivators achieved a Breakthrough in their Realm here, including those from the Four Great Factions!

The name Wuji Pavilion also became synonymous with hope and miracles.

As the sun set, golden afterglow spilled over the bustling mountain range, casting a warm halo over the prosperous scene.

Lu Hao stood at the peak of the main mountain, overlooking the lively scene below, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

He knew this was just the beginning.

Late at night, the Wuji Pavilion, which had been bustling all day, finally returned to some semblance of tranquility.

Within the Ten Thousand Spirits Imprisoning Heaven Array, the last batch of Cultivators had also successfully achieved a Breakthrough and were absorbing the Heavenly Dao's blessings.

Lu Hao stood on the high platform of the array's core, feeling the last trace of Heavenly Dao power merge into his body, and slowly opened his eyes.

Over the past month, essentially all Nascent Void Cultivators who were stuck at a Bottleneck had successfully achieved a Breakthrough within the Ten Thousand Spirits Imprisoning Heaven Array; such an astonishing number of Breakthroughs was unprecedented in the history of the Eastern Region.

And with these Breakthroughs, Lu Hao also reaped a massive amount of Heavenly Dao blessings.

Now, his several direct disciples had reached a terrifying Realm! Any one of them, stepping out, could easily crush the entire Eastern Region!

His eldest disciple, Mu Siyuan, had reached Ascension Great Perfection! He had also comprehended over 1,300 Origins, clearly becoming a Five-Source Supreme!

His second disciple, Dugu Litian, was at Ascension Middle Stage, having comprehended over 200 Origins.

His third disciple, Yin Xiaotong, was at Ascension Early Stage, having only comprehended 56 Origins.

His fourth disciple, Su Lin Yun, was at Ascension Middle Stage, having comprehended 160 Origins.

As for Lan Xiaoying, due to limitations in her innate talent and the absence of a ten thousand times cultivation acceleration.

Her cultivation speed had begun to lag behind. Lu Hao later found time to specially concoct a batch of Medicinal Pills for her, sealing a large amount of cultivation back into her body for her to continue Cultivating.

She had only just barely achieved a Breakthrough to the Yang Shi Realm, which was not impressive compared to the others.

However, Lan Xiaoying was not unhappy at all. She still made time every day to do things for Lu Hao, but this period was the best time for Cultivation, so Lu Hao adamantly made her stay in the Hunyuan Pagoda for another month.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao blessings would have been completely consumed by others.

There was also Demonic Thought, who, without Lu Hao's ten thousand times acceleration, could not match Mu Siyuan's cultivation, but still achieved a Breakthrough to a Three-Source Supreme!

As for Ling'er, she had never entered the Hunyuan Pagoda to Cultivate, nor had she ever seriously Cultivated.

To this day, her cultivation remained at the Soul Transformation period.

She had always been continuously comprehending the core Mind-Cultivation Technique of that Cultivation Technique.

And now, Ling'er's favorite thing to do was to visit some Mortal towns and then wander around in them, whether it was because of Lu Hao or because of a change in her own Heart-Nature.

His disciples' Breakthroughs also caused Lu Hao's cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds. He had now comprehended nearly a thousand Daos!

He had barely completed one-third of the Immortal Ascension path!

As for the Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation, Lu Hao had enough confidence to pass through it safely.

However, now that all Cultivators stuck at a Bottleneck throughout the entire Eastern Region had achieved a Breakthrough, Lu Hao would not be able to gather a large number of Cultivators for a while.

As for those below Nascent Void, Lu Hao no longer considered them.

Their cultivation was too low, and the intensity of the Heavenly Tribulation they would trigger was too limited, and the Heavenly Dao's blessings would likely be pitifully small.

It wasn't worth the effort.

Moreover, the number of Cultivators Undergoing Tribulation was far too many... if they were all brought to Thousand Stars State, the consequences would indeed be quite severe.

Lu Hao stood by the window, looking at the deep night and the bright moonlight, and chuckled softly.

"Tomorrow is when the Eastern Region Relic opens. It's also time to go find Lu Xiaolong. After finding him, I'll also need to prepare to head to the Netherworld."

"I wonder what the Netherworld is like, and who exactly is my fifth direct disciple?"

The starry sky tonight was exceptionally clear, the Milky Way stretching across the heavens like a brilliant jade belt, and moonlight poured down like water, casting mottled silver gleams through the Bamboo Forest.

A gentle breeze rustled the bamboo leaves, making soft sounds, and occasionally, the chirping of spirit birds could be heard in the distance, further emphasizing the tranquility of heaven and earth.

The air was filled with the fresh scent of bamboo, mixed with the damp smell of earth, which was refreshing.

Lu Hao stood alone in the courtyard, gazing at the horizon and sighing softly.

He thought of his previous life's world. If he had the chance, he really wanted to go back and see it.

Lu Hao stayed in the courtyard for a while, then returned to his bedroom to rest.

Suddenly, the bamboo shadows outside the courtyard stirred slightly, and a white-clad figure suddenly stood gracefully under the moonlight.

Lu Hao was startled and was about to ask, but the figure hesitated for a moment, then gently pushed open the door.

Moonlight streamed into the room as the door opened, illuminating the appearance of the visitor.

It was Xuan Lingzi from Yaochi Holy Land.

Under the moonlight, Xuan Lingzi looked even more ethereal and otherworldly than during the day!

Her hair was styled in an exquisite flowing cloud bun, adorned with a white jade hairpin, from which a half-inch long silver thread dangled gracefully.

A few strands of her hair occasionally escaped, falling naturally on either side of her face, and when the night wind blew, they clung to her neck, adding a touch of disheveled beauty.

The makeup on her brow was so faint it was almost imperceptible, but it was precisely this natural look that further highlighted her innate beauty.

Her slender eyelashes occasionally flickered, like white feathers gently covering her eyes. Her gaze held the usual coolness and ethereal quality she had cultivated, but deep within her eyes, when she looked at Lu Hao, there was also a hint of passion.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful; though without any makeup, even her earlobes shone with a cool, jade-like luster.

Perhaps it was because of Lu Hao, but Xuan Lingzi, who usually dressed very conservatively, was wearing a low-cut dress tonight, revealing a large expanse of fair skin at her neck!

There were even faint hints of cleavage hidden within.

If other Cultivators had seen her like this, they would surely have been astonished and dumbfounded. Was this still the incomparably cold and alluring Fairy they remembered?!

Her body was also dressed in a moon-white silk gauze wide-sleeved shirt, but the fabric was as light as a wisp of cloud, and with Xuan Lingzi's every movement, her proud figure seemed ready to burst forth at any moment.

When her wide sleeves hung down, they were long enough to cover the back of her hands, revealing only her fingers, which were slender, long, and perfectly formed.

Xuan Lingzi, with her tall and curvaceous figure, stood with her head bowed at Lu Hao's doorway, like a white plum tree by the water, exuding a faint, elusive chill.

But Lu Hao seemed to detect a subtle, alluring quality about her.

However, it had to be said that Lu Hao really liked Xuan Lingzi's attire tonight; it was different from her usual style.

"Xuan Lingzi, visiting so late at night, do you have something important?"

(I feel that having no female lead has been a bit monotonous until now. If I add some female leads, what do you, dear readers, think? Please leave your comments; I will take them into consideration!)
