However, Lu Xuan was somewhat dissatisfied. This was because this chaotic void environment occupied the entire hall. If Ruo Xiangyi wanted to cultivate here in the future, wouldn't he have no place to cultivate?
"Make it smaller." Lu Xuan thought to himself. With a thought, this simulated environment instantly became much smaller. At the very least, it did not occupy the entire hall.
Seeing that he could indeed control the specific size, Lu Xuan no longer hesitated. He controlled the chaotic void environment to a small area. It could not only satisfy Ruo Xiangyi's needs for cultivation, but it would not affect Lu Xuan's body.
After that, he left Ruo Xiangyi alone and directly walked towards the trial passage. After passing the trial of the War God Temple, he would also be given a chance to choose the treasures and books.
As soon as he stepped into the passage, Lu Xuan felt his surroundings darken. Then, Ye Tian's voice sounded around him, "The first trial of the War God Temple, your opponent is a peak Soul Refinement cultivator. You need to defeat him within three breaths."
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Lu Xuan could not help but feel a burst of joy in his heart. Although a peak Soul Refinement cultivator was strong, his chances of defeating him were not small. However, the last condition made his face fall.
This was a peak Soul Refinement cultivator, not wheat that could be harvested in one go. If he wanted to defeat him within three breaths, he would need to have overwhelming strength.
Before Lu Xuan had time to think, his surroundings suddenly lit up. Lu Xuan felt that he had appeared in a space without any obstacles. Such a place could allow both sides to display their skills to their heart's content. In front of him, a clear figure appeared. It looked like a young man in his twenties. He must have been one of Ye Tian's opponents when he was young.
"Start the countdown!" Ye Tian's emotionless voice woke Lu Xuan from his daze.
Right at this moment, the young martial artist on the opposite side had already taken the initiative to attack. His longsword was like a rainbow, directly aiming at Lu Xuan's face. The alliance of attacks far exceeded Lu Xuan's understanding of peak Spirit Refinement martial artists.
Lu Xuan was startled. His opponent had seized the initiative. Facing such a fierce attack, he could only choose to defend for the time being. Seeing Long Zaitian make his move, he relied on this move in addition to the Elemental Armour and the Inaction Armour he had just donned. He was finally able to successfully block this attack.
However, this martial artist's attack was also incomparably sharp. After seizing the initiative, he did not give Lu Xuan a chance to react at all. Another set of moves came over, causing Lu Xuan to repeatedly parry, not even giving him a chance to fight back.
"Three breaths of time have passed. You have failed." Just as Lu Xuan was thinking about how to deal with it, Ye Tian announced the end of the trial. In the next moment, the scenery in front of Lu Xuan instantly disappeared and he appeared at the entrance of the passageway.
"A peak Spirit Refinement martial artist is actually this strong?" Lu Xuan was still in a daze. Although he was distracted just now, causing him to take the initiative, the martial artist's attack was indeed incomparably skilled. Relying on the advantage of the opening move, he forcibly suppressed Lu Xuan. Although Lu Xuan could be considered a veteran of hundreds of battles, he had never fallen into such a disadvantageous position.
"It seems that the martial artists who can be Ye Tian's opponents are not ordinary people. Although this martial artist is only at the peak Spirit Refinement, he must have been an influential figure in the past." Lu Xuan sighed. He did not believe that any peak Spirit Refinement martial artist could have such strong combat strength.
And this short confrontation also made Lu Xuan realize that the trials of the War God Temple were definitely not as simple as he had imagined. The martial artists he had to face were all chosen from Ye Tian's opponents in the past. Any one of them was a genius disciple, so it was not easy to fight someone of a higher cultivation level.
However, he did not believe it and wanted to try again. After taking a deep breath, Lu Xuan once again stepped into the passageway. The familiar scene, the familiar voice, and the familiar opponent appeared once again.
This time, Lu Xuan did not hesitate at all and took the initiative to attack. Three breaths of time passed in an instant, so he naturally had to seize the initiative. Otherwise, he would be suppressed by the martial artist in front of him again.
The Wind Riding Art combined with Thunder Flash, Lu Xuan instantly closed the distance between the two of them. Then, he used Soaring Dragon in the Sky in an instant, his sword piercing forward like lightning!
However, the reaction speed of this martial artist was once again beyond Lu Xuan's imagination. With a crisp "ding" sound, Lu Xuan's extremely fast sword was actually blocked. Lu Xuan was slightly surprised, and then he used Divine Dragon Tail Whip, carrying a powerful force.
However, the martial artist was not afraid at all. He swept his sword and chose to attack Lu Xuan. This time, after a collision of strength, Lu Xuan was not able to gain the upper hand. Instead, he lost his previous advantage. The martial artist in front of him seized this opportunity and instantly launched a crazy counterattack. Lu Xuan was once again forced into a passive position. At this time, three breaths of time had already passed.
Before he returned to the passageway, Lu Xuan was still thinking about the way that warrior had dealt with him. There did not seem to be anything out of the ordinary about him. Aside from the fact that his martial arts technique was more powerful than Lu Xuan's, the most notable thing about him was that his reaction speed was exceptionally fast. Furthermore, he was able to grasp the perfect timing, which allowed him to expand his advantage in that split second.
"It seems that I am somewhat obsessed with martial arts and have neglected the essence of the sword." Lu Xuan thought thoughtfully. He had already realized that with his current strength, he was definitely no match for the martial artist just now. Even if he fought with him ten more times, the result would definitely be the same.
This was the first time that Lu Xuan had expressed his admiration for a martial artist at the peak of the Spirit Refinement Realm. When he was at the sixth tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm, he was able to defeat Wan Jianfei. Now that he had reached the seventh tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm, he was actually no match for this martial artist. This could only mean that even if they were in the same realm, the combat strength of martial artists could be completely different. Wan Jianfei was obviously far inferior to this martial artist.
"This War God Temple is really an excellent place for cultivation. Apart from here, where else can I be like this, constantly fighting, looking for my own weaknesses, and learning from others' strengths." A gratified smile appeared on Lu Xuan's face. He did not feel depressed because of his failure. Failure would only stimulate his fighting spirit!
"Give me some time, and I will defeat you fair and square again!" Lu Xuan thought to himself as he looked at the dark passageway. If it was just for the sake of passing the trial, then he could have used some other means, and it would not have been impossible for him to succeed. However, he understood that Ye Tian did not leave the Wargod Temple behind for him to pass the trial. Instead, it was so that he could learn the real deal.
Not continuing to challenge the War God Temple pointlessly, Lu Xuan sat down at a place not far from the Mutual Dependence Realm and took out the Soul Remembrance Crystal that he had just obtained from the Jewel Pavilion. This kind of treasure was better used as early as possible. The improvement of his soul strength could not only improve his control of the Talisman Dao, but it also had a complementary effect on his comprehension of martial arts and sword principles.
Lu Xuan pressed the Soul Remembrance Crystal into his forehead and began to absorb the power of the soul contained within. His own power of the soul began to gradually strengthen as the strand of power of the soul fused with it, and he began to slowly approach the level of a six-star talisman master.
The Soul Remembrance Crystal was originally formed from pure soul strength. Therefore, it was extremely fast to absorb. After approximately half an hour, the Soul Remembrance Crystal was completely absorbed by Lu Xuan. He immediately felt that his soul strength had become unprecedentedly powerful. When he released his perception, the range of his perception had also clearly increased.
Right now, he was extremely close to becoming a six-star talisman master, but he was still a little short. He felt that the reason why he was unable to break through this barrier was not because of the power of his soul, but because he was still not proficient enough in using the power of his soul.
Before entering the inheritance cave dwelling, he was merely a four star Soul Symbol Master. Even if he was a four star Soul Symbol Master, he had used the Soul Nourishing Pill to forcefully raise his strength. Now, he had reached the level of a six star Soul Symbol Master in such a short period of time. Although his improvement was fast, it was inevitable that he would encounter the problem of an unstable foundation. Up until now, he had not truly grasped many four star Soul Symbols.
"Perhaps it's time to practice the Talisman Dao. With my current strength, I should be able to carve three Soul Symbols in my soul. At that time, my battle strength will definitely increase significantly."
Lu Xuan stood up and glanced at Mutual Dependence. At this moment, she was clearly immersed in her cultivation and did not understand her identity as a servant. Lu Xuan shook his head and could not be bothered with her anymore. He directly left the War God Temple and headed towards the Enchantment Hall. There were many materials in the Enchantment Hall and it was undoubtedly the best place to practice the Talisman Dao.
Arriving at the Enchantment Hall, Lu Xuan took out a stack of blank scrolls in one breath and recalled the Soul Symbols recorded in the Talisman Technique, preparing to practice carving the Soul Symbols.
Although his soul force was already enough to support him to carve a five star Soul Symbol, he did not rashly attempt it. Instead, he chose a four star Soul Symbol to practice. Rice must be eaten one bite at a time. Only by doing it steadily and surely would he be able to improve faster. Being impatient would not help him eat hot tofu.
Lu Xuan concentrated and released his soul force. In an instant, the Yuan Qi between Heaven and Earth was mobilized, forming crystal clear Yuan Qi lines that outlined a mysterious Soul Symbol. With a wave of his finger, the lines gracefully fell onto the blank scrolls.
"Chi!" A talisman that was nearly half inscribed instantly turned into nothingness. It was obvious that the inscription had failed. Lu Xuan shook his head, took out another blank scroll, and began inscribing again. While he had enough soul power, he did not have enough proficiency to support him to complete the inscription of this four-star talisman.
As the blank scrolls were discarded, Lu Xuan gradually found the state of mind. This feeling was as if he had returned to the Enchantment Hall of the Wind Sword School. It seemed that he had not concentrated on practicing the Talisman Dao for a long time.
Lu Xuan's mind was completely focused on carving the Soul Symbols. When the number of blank scrolls on the ground increased, a bright light flashed. A four star Soul Symbol Scroll was finally successfully carved by Lu Xuan!
