“Master, please lend me a hand. I intend to refine the Bronze Ancient Palace.”
Lu Xuan nodded. Instantly, Chen Changsheng sat cross-legged, his gray robes billowing around him. Lu Xuan then settled behind Chen Changsheng and addressed the Green-skirted Girl and the Silver-haired Woman, “Come, join us.”
The Green-skirted Girl and the Silver-haired Woman pouted. Only Lu Xuan possessed such audacity, asking for their help to subdue a supreme artifact, despite his already immense power.
In that moment, the four sat in a circle. Chen Changsheng began to chant, activating the Ancient Spirit Art.
“Boom!”
An incredibly profound aura surged around him, brilliant divine radiance, like a divine arc, enveloped the four, shining brightly. Rule Power surged, flowing like a gentle stream, like wisps of rosy clouds.
The Dao Ming Old Ancestor and the others retreated rapidly, watching the scene with profound shock. This level of power completely transcended their understanding.
Immediately, a terrifying, peerless aura, centered on Chen Changsheng, spread outwards, sweeping across the entire Darkest Starry Sky like a storm. Wherever it reached, golden light flowed like a blazing golden sun, illuminating the boundless darkness.
The surrounding heaven and earth began to undergo strange transformations. The third layer of the Bronze Ancient Palace was undergoing cataclysmic changes; the shattered great domains were recombining with earth-shattering roars. The dormant powers within the starry sky showed signs of awakening. On the recombining great domains, Vitality/Life Energy actually emerged! Verdant green hues began to rise!
The vast starry sea was swept by a wave of Rule Power, manifesting numerous phenomena: mountains and rivers ascended, ancient palaces radiated golden light, and visions of ancient magnates from the River of Time revealed their backs…
Not only that, all three layers of the Bronze Ancient Palace were undergoing these transformations. Everyone looked up, feeling an indescribable, profound sensation. It was as if the entire heaven and earth’s Momentum was being plundered!
Two days later.
Lu Xuan slowly rose. The duration of his One-star Supreme Experience Card had expired.
Chen Changsheng had fallen into a profound state, beginning the gradual refinement of the Bronze Ancient Palace.
The Green-skirted Girl and the Silver-haired Woman also stood up. “It’s done. Chen Changsheng refining the Bronze Ancient Palace is just a matter of time now.”
The Green-skirted Girl blinked her cunning eyes and said to the Silver-haired Woman, “To think this opportunity ultimately fell to Chen Changsheng.”
The Silver-haired Woman sighed, “Indeed. In the dark, there is a fixed destiny.”
Just then, the Green-skirted Girl pulled the Silver-haired Woman’s arm. “Come on, let’s go to the Holy Land to rest. What about you, Lu Xuan?”
Lu Xuan replied, “I’m going to find my disciples.”
The Silver-haired Woman’s eyes lit up. “I’ll come too.”
The Green-skirted Girl cheered, “Yay! More delicious food!”
The three quickly bid farewell to the Dao Ming Old Ancestor and the others, who still had to remain in the starry sky to continue their cultivation!
“Boom!”
The Green-skirted Girl linked her arm through Lu Xuan’s left, while the Silver-haired Woman linked hers through his right. “Let’s go!”
The trio transformed into a divine arc, moving at incredible speed, directly traversing the void!
Passing by a certain spot, Lu Xuan paused slightly. Xuanji Holy Lord was actually in secluded cultivation here. Profound Dao Rhyme flowed, swirling around her. Her three thousand zhang of white hair, like a waterfall, each strand surging with brilliant Dao patterns, formed her robe, concealing her face. Her peerless figure radiated brilliant divine light.
Her profile was exquisitely beautiful, as if sculpted by the Hand of Creation/Fortune.
The Green-skirted Girl remarked, “Xuanji Holy Lord’s talent is heaven-defying, but unfortunately, she’s afflicted with Eerie Power and Ominous Power.”
The Silver-haired Woman added, “She’s walking a dangerous path!”
Lu Xuan also saw it. Xuanji Holy Lord was attempting to draw power from the Eerie Power. This was because her physical body and divine soul could no longer purge the Eerie Power.
A spatial gale swept past. In an instant, the strands of white hair on Xuanji Holy Lord’s face fluttered, revealing her incredibly beautiful countenance. Her eyelashes were long, her delicate brows arched, and her fair, crystalline face was flawless, her demeanor peerless.
The Green-skirted Girl suddenly asked curiously, “Oh right, Lu Xuan, what are your standards for taking disciples?”
Lu Xuan poked the Green-skirted Girl’s head, dismissing her. “Someone like you? I wouldn’t take you.”
The Silver-haired Woman asked, “What about me?”
Lu Xuan, with a calm and unconcerned expression, replied, “Wouldn’t take you either.”
Both women exclaimed in unison, “Hmph!”
...
In the Emperor Realm Area.
Ji Fuyao, clad in a fiery red long dress, descended. Her figure was exquisite, the dress unable to conceal her proud curves. Surging spiritual fire enveloped her, and Great Emperor Dao patterns constantly rose and fell around her. Behind her, a boundless Sea of Spirit Fire manifested.
She was cultivating in the Sea of Spirit Fire within the Yanwu Sect’s territory. After nearly half a month of cultivation, Ji Fuyao’s aura had gradually stabilized.
In the distance, Tianyuan Old Ancestor and the others also sat cross-legged, cultivating, their eyes filled with relief.
Moments later, Ji Fuyao slowly opened her eyes, her slender jade hands shifting through spirit arts, reining in her aura, and stepping out from the Sea of Spirit Fire.
“Many thanks to all Old Ancestors for protecting my Dao!” Ji Fuyao bowed respectfully.
Tianyuan Old Ancestor and the others nodded.
“Excellent. Your aura has stabilized now.”
“Indeed. Fuyao, your talent is heaven-defying. This is just the beginning for you.”
Tianyuan Old Ancestor took out some Great Demon Spirit Meat, and everyone gathered to eat. This was a pile of Great Demon Spirit Meat Lu Xuan had left behind when he departed. After eating it for so long, Tianyuan Old Ancestor and the others felt a stirring within their bodies, a subtle indication of an impending breakthrough.
Tianyuan Old Ancestor bit into a piece of Giant Ram meat, gazing into the void, and murmured, “I wonder how your Master is faring in the Above Emperor Realm Area?”
Ji Fuyao’s lips glowed with divine radiance. “There’s no need to worry, Old Ancestor. My Master is invincible.”
Yet, the Old Ancestors still harbored a slight worry. That place was where numerous Half-step Supremes and Quasi-Dao Supremes from various factions converged. They feared that Xuan Shang Old Ancestor, Dao Ming Old Ancestor, and the others were likely having a difficult time. After all, Lu Xuan had offended far too many powerful factions this time!
Just then.
“Boom!”
“Crack!”
The void tore open! Spatial Distortion rippled!
From within the spatial rift, Lu Xuan, the Green-skirted Girl, and the Silver-haired Woman emerged.
Ji Fuyao’s expression subtly changed. She noticed the Silver-haired Woman and the Green-skirted Girl were quite intimate with Lu Xuan. A flicker of unease stirred in her heart.
This Silver-haired Woman was incredibly beautiful, her face like a painting, with a hint of elusive charm. Her figure was voluptuous, her fair, crystalline legs alluring.
Ji Fuyao thought to herself, “What is the relationship between this woman and Master?”
Lu Xuan, clad in white robes, descended like a Divine King, appearing before Ji Fuyao and the Old Ancestors.
“Fuyao, Old Ancestors, I’m back.”
Tianyuan Old Ancestor and the others asked curiously, “Lu Xuan, who are these two?”
Lu Xuan playfully poked the Green-skirted Girl’s head. “This is Heavenly Dao, Xiao Qing.”
Then he gently pinched the Silver-haired Woman’s ear. “She’s the Bronze Ancient Palace’s Weapon Spirit, Xiao Li.”
Ji Fuyao breathed a sigh of relief.
But Tianyuan Old Ancestor and the others were utterly stunned, nearly dropping the Great Demon Spirit Meat they held. What?! The Heavenly Dao! The Bronze Ancient Palace’s Weapon Spirit! Lu Xuan was actually so familiar with such powerful beings? As if they were old friends!
Lu Xuan and the two women sat down beside Ji Fuyao.
Ji Fuyao carefully observed Lu Xuan. He was as unconcerned as ever, unchanged.
Then, the Green-skirted Girl recounted the events that had transpired in the starry sky to Tianyuan Old Ancestor and the others.
Ji Fuyao was utterly shocked, speechless for a long time, divine radiance flickering in her eyes. “Third Senior Brother is that powerful?”
