“I’ve never encountered such arrogance!” Gu Bingfeng fumed.
Gu Bingfeng was seething. Lu Xuan was openly despising him, eating a meal while doing so! This was an outright humiliation!
Yet, the terrifying Divine Arcs streaking through the air, brimming with lethal power, made Gu Bingfeng frown deeply. “This man’s strength is formidable…”
He didn’t even finish his sentence. Pfft! A divine radiance pierced straight through the chest of a white-haired elder. Blood splattered everywhere. Instant kill!
Gu Bingfeng was utterly stunned. That was a Four-star Supreme! Just instantly annihilated! It seemed he had severely underestimated this White Robe Supreme.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Several more elders had their bodies pierced by divine radiance, formed from mere bones. No matter what ultimate treasures they unleashed, it was useless; they shattered upon impact with Lu Xuan’s power. Even a Six-star Supreme Tier ultimate treasure was effortlessly pulverized! This man’s power far exceeded his wildest imagination!
Gu Bingfeng’s face turned ashen. He glared at Lu Xuan. “Who exactly are you? How could such a powerful expert exist in a small realm like this?” Such strength surely belonged within the Fourth Star Ring! After all, the Starry Sky where the Tai Chu Realm resided was notoriously thin on Starry Sky Power. Moreover, the presence of the Dark Void nearby made it incredibly perilous! No one willingly stayed in this realm!
Boom, boom, boom! Several elders were instantly killed by Lu Xuan, their bodies plummeting from the sky.
Gu Bingfeng finally panicked. “Don’t kill me!” he shrieked. “Otherwise, my Ice Soul Realm will surely learn of this! By then, not only will my Ice Soul Realm Lord descend, but powerful experts from Cloudrise Holy Land will also arrive…”
He didn’t get to finish. Lu Xuan casually flicked his sleeve, and a Void Handprint materialized in the air, instantly seizing Gu Bingfeng’s throat. Lu Xuan’s voice was flat. “Your Ice Soul Realm truly has no end, does it?” Crack! Gu Bingfeng’s throat was crushed, blood splattering. He was instantly annihilated!
A profound silence descended upon the world. With a thought, Lu Xuan gathered all the storage rings from the battlefield and handed them to Ji Fuyao.
A short while later, once Chen Changsheng had finished his meal, Lu Xuan slowly rose. “Let’s go, to the Western Desert.” With a thought, a mysterious power enveloped Chen Changsheng and him, and they vanished from the spot.
***
In the Western Desert, Wuwu sat cross-legged, golden Ancient Buddhist Script flowing around him. He was waiting for Lu Xuan. Would he truly accept him as a disciple?
Just then, Boom! A streak of light flared in his room, and Lu Xuan and Chen Changsheng appeared directly before him.
Wuwu paused, slightly startled. Chen Changsheng spoke, “Wuwu, this is my Master, Lu Xuan.”
Wuwu respectfully rose and bowed. “Greetings, Senior Lu Xuan…” Before he could finish, Lu Xuan chuckled, “Whoa, whoa, whoa…” Wuwu froze, bewildered. “Just call me Master,” Lu Xuan said.
Chen Changsheng immediately grinned. “Fifth Junior Brother, hurry and pay your respects!” Without a moment’s hesitation, Wuwu knelt and performed the disciple’s bow. “Disciple Wuwu greets Master!” Lu Xuan simply smiled.
Chen Changsheng gave Wuwu a subtle look, and Wuwu quickly pulled over a wooden chair for Lu Xuan, then went to prepare Spirit Tea.
The System’s voice chimed in Lu Xuan’s ear. “Ding! Congratulations, Host, for accepting your fifth disciple! Initiating System rewards!” “Ding! Congratulations, Host, for acquiring a massive Cultivation Foundation!” “Ding! Congratulations, Host, for acquiring the Wuwu Scripture!” “Ding! Congratulations, Host, Myriad Laws Immunity has been upgraded!” “Ding! Congratulations, Host, for acquiring the Star Venerate Realm ultimate treasure, Vajra Scepter!” “Ding! Congratulations, Host, for acquiring one Mid-tier Star Core!”
As the notifications faded, an incredibly pure surge of spiritual energy flooded Lu Xuan’s Meridians, like a mighty river. His cultivation instantly skyrocketed to Five-star Supreme initial stage!
Then, an Ancient Jade Slip appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand – the Spirit Art for the Wuwu Scripture. He probed it with his divine sense, immediately grasping its essence. “I am, my attachment, my will… All people are me, I am all people…” It was incredibly profound! This was a Star Venerate Realm Spirit Art!
At that moment, Wuwu respectfully presented a cup of Spirit Tea to Lu Xuan. “Master, please drink!” Lu Xuan drained it in one gulp, then handed the Ancient Jade Slip to Wuwu. “Cultivate this technique.”
Wuwu took the jade slip, and as his divine sense entered it, his eyes widened in disbelief. “A Star Venerate Realm cultivation technique!” he gasped.
Chen Changsheng, startled, looked at Lu Xuan. “Master, you—!” He nearly wept. His own Wuweijing had only just upgraded to Nine-star Supreme Tier!
The next instant, Wuwu entered a state of profound enlightenment right there. He smiled faintly. “So, ‘I’ means this. Who am I? Why do I exist? What am I to do after existing?” “Hahaha!” He had comprehended!
Boom! An incredibly profound aura surged from Wuwu. If all traces of Dao Yi were severed, who was he then? Now, he had a foundation. He was Lu Xuan’s disciple! Upon this foundation, he could forge infinite possibilities!
In that moment, Wuwu’s cultivation began to skyrocket! Seven massive Dao Fruit orbs on his body shimmered with brilliant divine radiance. Boom, boom, boom! Above the entire room, a celestial phenomenon suddenly appeared: a colossal Buddha, shimmering with golden light, slowly ascended.
All the nearby Buddhist cultivators were stunned! “That phenomenon is rising from Master Wuwu’s room!” “It’s terrifying!” “Has Master Wuwu achieved enlightenment?”
The golden light was immense, Wuwu’s entire Buddha-nature blossoming forth as his illusory golden body continuously expanded! Ten zhang! A hundred zhang! Nine hundred zhang! At this point, the seven Dao Fruit orbs on his chest began to shatter! A vast amount of Cultivation Foundation and Dao Fruit energy surged into his body!
One must know, in his previous seven epochs, Wuwu’s cultivation had reached Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme! His Buddha Fruit was truly immense! His cultivation began to surge relentlessly! One-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme! Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme! One-star Supreme! Two-star Supreme! Three-star Supreme! Four-star Supreme! Finally, it settled at Four-star Supreme initial stage!
Boom! The Oppressive Power of a Four-star Supreme, vast as an abyss and deep as the sea, poured out from the room, spreading relentlessly. This was the power of a Supreme! A power that transcended all! In an instant, this Supreme power enveloped the entire Western Desert. All living beings were utterly astonished. This was a Four-star Supreme! Currently, the Tai Chu Realm could only withstand the power of a Five-star Supreme!
Every living being in the Western Desert was suppressed, gazing in utter shock towards Wuwu’s direction. Within Ling Mountain Temple, Minghui Master wore a look of utter disbelief. “From the Eastern Lands, this is… could Wuwu have achieved enlightenment?” “Impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Yet, his knees buckled, forcing him to his ground. Even with an entire domain separating him from Wuwu, he could still sense Wuwu’s aura.
All the High Monks of Ling Mountain Temple immediately knelt! Thump! Thump! Like a surging tide, every living being in the Western Desert prostrated themselves!
