“Senior Sister and the others have all broken through to Supreme…”
Ye Chen was on the verge of tears. He’d been relentlessly fighting on the Supreme Path, his blade practically blunted from all the chopping! Yet, he was still only a Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme! Meanwhile, his Senior Sister and the others had already reached Supreme!
Ye Chen looked at Lu Xuan, “Master, you really need to spread your blessings evenly! Don’t play favorites!”
Lu Xuan merely hummed in amusement. This kid, honestly.
“Take out your cultivation technique jade slip,” Lu Xuan instructed.
Ye Chen immediately produced his Desolate Heaven Art jade slip. Lu Xuan crushed the last Cultivation Technique Enhancement Jade Slip.
Crack! An indescribably profound power surged forth, transforming into countless Ancient Characters that danced in the air, dense and dazzling. A deep, esoteric aura cascaded outwards. The Desolate Heaven Art was upgrading!
Before long, Lu Xuan handed the Desolate Heaven Art jade slip back to Ye Chen, patting his shoulder lightly. “Ye Chen, you’ll hold down the Southern Wilds. The enemies will arrive in a couple of days.”
Ye Chen clenched his fist, brimming with confidence. “What enemies? Below Supreme, I am invincible!”
Lu Xuan said, “Cloudrise Holy Land.”
Ye Chen froze slightly. “Ah, this…”
Beside them, Tianyuan Old Ancestor asked, “What kind of force is Cloudrise Holy Land, White Robe Daoist? What are their cultivation realms?”
Lu Xuan chuckled. “They’re a force from beyond the Starry Sky, led by Situ Qingyun, and they have many High-star Supremes!”
The Grand Dao Sect disciples were stunned. High-star Supremes?
Ye Chen’s face twitched. “Master, this…”
Just then, Chen Changsheng’s voice echoed in Lu Xuan’s ear. “Master, Liu Ruyan’s Seven-star Supreme Avatar is heading towards the Tai Chu Realm! She’s likely looking for Dao Yi and Nangong Baixue!”
Lu Xuan nodded. “Understood.” He patted Ye Chen’s shoulder again. “Oh, and Liu Ruyan’s Seven-star Supreme Avatar will also descend upon the Southern Wilds. I’ll leave her to you.”
Ye Chen: “…”
The Grand Dao Sect disciples looked worried. “White Robe Daoist, what should we do?”
Lu Xuan smiled. “No worries. I’ll make a move when the time comes.”
Ye Chen said, “Master, send me back to the Supreme Path! I want to Attain Supreme!”
Lu Xuan nodded. “Alright.”
Boom! Ye Chen’s figure vanished from the spot, stepping back onto the Supreme Path!
A moment later, Lu Xuan summoned Fang Yan, Liu Xuan, and Luo Lingkong. The three were still at the Emperor Realm!
Lu Xuan smiled. “I’m giving you an opportunity. You once received inheritances from the Panshi Sect, Qianhuan Sect, and One Sword Sect. Now, I’ll take you into the Starry Sky. You’ll cultivate at their branch sects first! Once you grow stronger, you can head to their main sects.”
Then, Lu Xuan explained the cosmic hierarchy beyond the Tai Chu Realm to them. Everyone was taken aback. Supreme was just the beginning!
Soon, Lu Xuan sent Fang Yan, Liu Xuan, and Luo Lingkong one by one to the Panshi Sect, Qianhuan Sect, and One Sword Sect.
These sects were once Ancient Ancestor Realm forces, but due to the conflict over the Bronze Ancient Palace, they had fallen to Myriad Phase Realm forces.
Inside the Panshi Sect branch, Lu Xuan gave the branch master a pair of black eyes. “Next time I see Fang Yan, I expect him to be a Nine-star Supreme!”
The branch master looked utterly miserable. “Just kill me now. I’m only an Eight-star Supreme myself.”
After a moment of silence, the branch master said, “However, there might be a way. If Fang Yan can pass our Panshi Sect branch’s assessment, he’ll have a chance to enter the main sect in the Second Star Ring. If he obtains the Ancient Ancestor’s ultimate inheritance there, he might not reach Nine-star Supreme, but he could certainly enter the Myriad Phase Realm!”
Hearing this, Fang Yan grew excited.
Lu Xuan smiled. “Fang Yan, I’m leaving.”
Fang Yan immediately stepped into the Panshi Sect’s assessment grounds. “Solid as a rock!” A layer of Emperor Realm Dao patterns shimmered over his body, making him incredibly tough as he began the assessment.
On the other side, Liu Xuan arrived at the Qianhuan Sect branch. The star where the Qianhuan Sect was located was enveloped by a mysterious power, causing everyone who entered to see their own Illusions. The Qianhuan Sect branch master was a stunning woman with an exquisite figure, radiating a faint Divine Radiance. She looked at Lu Xuan with immense shock. “You… weren’t you wanted by Cloudrise Holy Land? How dare you roam the Star Sea?”
Lu Xuan pointed at Liu Xuan, a faint smile playing on his lips. “I’ve brought you a promising talent.”
The Qianhuan Sect master looked at Liu Xuan. “You carry the inheritance of my Qianhuan Sect.”
Liu Xuan slowly extended her jade hand. A gentle power flowed like water, faint yet resonating with the surrounding power of the Qianhuan Sect branch, creating a profound harmony.
The Qianhuan Sect master said, “I’ll take this disciple. But you should leave this place quickly. I heard Situ Qingyun is already leading a large army towards the Tai Chu Realm. Are you abandoning the Tai Chu Realm?”
Lu Xuan calmly shook his head. “No. Cloudrise Holy Land moves at a snail’s pace; they’ll still need a few days to arrive.”
The Qianhuan Sect master gave a charming smile. “You’re truly bold. Go on. I won’t tell Cloudrise Holy Land. Both your Supreme Fox Clan and our Qianhuan Sect suffered because of the Bronze Ancient Palace. Fortunately, your Fox Clan obtained the Bronze Ancient Palace.”
“And your Ancient Ancestor Tamamo-no-Mae sealed the Fox Fortune Holy Land. If the Fox Fortune Holy Land reopens, and your descendants refine the Bronze Ancient Palace, there might still be a sliver of hope!”
“But such opportunities are fleeting. After all, in the First Star Ring, how many Ancient Ancestor Realm forces are eyeing the Bronze Ancient Palace’s whereabouts, waiting for the Fox Fortune Holy Land to reappear!”
Lu Xuan’s lips curled into a slight smile. “No worries.”
Soon, Lu Xuan departed. Liu Xuan watched his retreating figure, her eyes slightly moist. “Senior, thank you.” Her experiences during this time felt like a dream. Lu Xuan smiled and turned to leave.
On the other side, Lu Xuan had already brought Luo Lingkong. Luo Lingkong’s body trembled uncontrollably! The Starry Sky! The boundless Starry Sky! Inside him, an Ultimate Emperor Weapon shot out, swirling around him. His longsword could not remain still!
Luo Lingkong’s voice trembled as he asked, “Senior, is the Ancient Ancestor Realm the end of the Great Dao?”
Lu Xuan laughed heartily. “The Dao is boundless.”
Luo Lingkong was slightly stunned.
Soon, Lu Xuan brought Luo Lingkong to the star where the One Sword Sect branch was located. Here, a Spirit Sword was plunged into the Star Sea, its Sword Intent soaring to the heavens, forming a long river of pure sword energy.
Lu Xuan looked at Luo Lingkong. “Use the inheritance you received to unleash a sword strike!”
Luo Lingkong chanted softly, “All things in the world are tied to a single sword!”
Whoosh! A terrifying Sword Intent erupted around him! He unleashed a single, decisive sword strike! A terrifying sword qi slashed directly towards the One Sword Sect’s location! This strike was a sword of life and death!
Boom! An Azure-robed Man shot out from the One Sword Sect. A Spirit Sword shimmered beneath his feet, radiating Sword Rhyme. He looked at Luo Lingkong and spoke only three words. “Good! Good! Good!”
Lu Xuan looked at the Azure-robed Man. “Luo Lingkong, this disciple is yours.”
The Azure-robed Man nodded. “Rest assured, I will ensure he enters the main sect’s inheritance land. As for whether he can obtain our main sect’s Ancient Ancestor’s ultimate inheritance, that will depend on his fortune.”
Lu Xuan turned to leave.
The Azure-robed Man suddenly said, “Be careful. Because of Liu Ruyan, the Fox Clan’s situation in the Second Star Ring and Third Star Ring is getting worse.”
Lu Xuan frowned slightly. He hadn’t expected the Panshi Sect, Qianhuan Sect, and One Sword Sect to hold no ill will towards the Fox Clan.
The Azure-robed Man seemed to sense Lu Xuan’s confusion. “Back during the Bronze Ancient Palace conflict, our Panshi Sect, Qianhuan Sect, and One Sword Sect secretly helped the Fox Fortune Holy Land. Otherwise, Ancient Ancestor Tamamo-no-Mae wouldn’t have had the chance to seal the Fox Fortune Holy Land.”
Lu Xuan’s lips curved into a slight smile. “Things are getting interesting.”
