"Count me in too." Chen Xiaohan clenched her fists.
Xia Chenxi could not help but smile at the two girls' aggressive expressions. "Why do you two look like Lu Xuan won't be able to come back? Xiaohan, you'd better hurry up and become a Seven Star Talisman Master. Otherwise, even if you find trouble with Leng Qingqiu, you won't be able to help."
Chen Xiaohan was distressed. "I want to too, but I've been feeling restless lately. I've wasted a lot of scrolls, and every time I fail."
After saying that, she glanced at Xia Chenxi and said, "Aren't you the same? You've been stuck at the sixth level of the Spirit Refinement realm for a long time, unable to cross the threshold of the late stage of the Spirit Refinement realm.
Hearing this, Xia Chenxi could only smile bitterly. What exactly was she doing? At the very least, Chen Xiaohan and Zhao Binger had an open relationship with Lu Xuan. However, her relationship with Lu Xuan was unclear. It was also Lu Xuan's fault for not expressing his stance. The feelings between the two of them had always been hazy.
Chen Xiaohan waved her hand. "Let's not talk about this heartless thing. Sister Bing 'er, I heard from master that the Abstruse Ice Secret Realm is in turmoil. Is it necessary to protect it?"
Zhao Binger nodded. "Indeed. Master also told me that I might need to go help soon."
"Master is going to take me to train, so I can truly master the way of formations." Chen Xiaohan said.
Speaking of which, the turmoil in the Abstruse Ice Secret Realm had something to do with Lu Xuan. If he hadn't brought the Profound Ice Phoenix's Blood Sword and the ice spirit, the Abstruse Ice Secret Realm wouldn't have been in trouble so quickly. The three girls knew this, but they wouldn't tell outsiders.
The Abstruse Ice Secret Realm was an important place in the Ice Pavilion. Now that the ice spirit and the Profound Ice Phoenix's Blood Sword were gone, no one knew how long the Abstruse Ice Secret Realm could last. Even after this maintenance, it wouldn't last much longer.
Lin Zeyu sat atop a prayer mat in a quiet room in the Jiuhua Alliance headquarters. He'd been there for ten months now, and hadn't taken a single step out of the room.
Of course, he wouldn't do this. The real reason was because he was punished to be in confinement for a year.
After leaving the ancient cave, he, Long Ming, and the rest of the Nine Eastern Alliance disciples returned without a hitch. Long Ming didn't hide anything about Lin Zeyu's actions, including how Lin Zeyu deliberately prevented them from obtaining the treasures in the Treasure Pavilion, and how he caused a ruckus in the Ice Pavilion, and was slapped by Zhao Ying.
At first, Lin Zeyu didn't care much about Long Ming's complaint. In his eyes, it wasn't a big deal. He even thought the Sect should stand up for him. After all, he was a disciple of the Jiuhua Alliance, and yet he'd been slapped a dozen times by an elder of a fourth-rank sect. This was an act of defiance, and he had to be punished severely.
Not long after, as Lin Zeyu expected, the decision to be made was passed down. But to his surprise, the sect decided to put him in confinement for a year!
Lin Zeyu was undoubtedly unconvinced. Immediately, he went to look for his elder brother and questioned him. However, his elder brother, who had always doted on him, coldly told him that this decision was personally made by the Alliance Master and that he should obediently stay in the confinement room for a year to reflect on his actions.
Lin Zeyu was stunned when he heard this news. He didn't think such a small matter would alarm the Alliance Master. Ye Wuhen, the Alliance Master of the Nine Eastern Alliance, held absolute power in the Nine Eastern Alliance. Once she made a decision, there was no way she could change it. Even if his brother was loved by Ye Wuhen, there was nothing he could do to help her.
And so, no matter how unwilling Lin Zeyu was, he had no choice but to stay in isolation for the rest of the year. He blamed all of this on Lu Xuan. If Lu Xuan hadn't stolen the inheritance that should have been his, he would have been the pride of the Jiuhua Alliance. How could he have fallen to such a state?
"Lu Xuan, so what if you took the inheritance? In front of me, Lin Zeyu, you can only lie down like a dog! Don't let me out. Otherwise, no matter where you hide, I will take your dog life! " Lin Zeyu said to himself with hatred. During this year, not only did he not meditate, but he became more and more extreme.
At that moment, a small window in the confinement room suddenly opened. Lin Zeyu squinted his eyes and looked inside.
"Master Lin, food is here. Eat something first."
"Put it there." Lin Zeyu frowned slightly. "I asked you to ask about Lu Xuan. How is it going? What's new? "
"Young Master Lin, Lu Xuan still hasn't returned. Recently, there have been many rumors in the Mysterious Ice Pavilion saying that Lu Xuan has already fallen in the cave of the ancient almighty."
"Is he really dead?" Lin Zeyu asked in disbelief.
"In any case, that's what the news said. But in my opinion, if he hasn't shown himself for ten months, I'm afraid that something must have happened. Of course, it's also possible that he's hiding somewhere and doesn't dare to show himself. After all, he offended you, young master."
Lin Zeyu laughed. "What's the use of hiding after offending me? Damn it, he still had to die! Go, find out everything about Lu Xuan. I want to know everything about him, including his friends and family. When I get out, I'll kill them one by one. I want to see how long you can hide! "
"Master Lin, I'm afraid that's not a good idea."
Lin Zeyu's eyes grew cold. "I told you to go, so go. What's with all this nonsense? Do I need you to teach me? Also, if you dare to tell my brother about this, just you wait! "
"Yes, I will definitely help Master Lin settle this matter."
Lin Zeyu nodded in satisfaction. "Don't worry. You've done well. When I get out, you'll be rewarded."
"Thank you, Master Lin. I will do my best to satisfy all of Master Lin's requests." The man outside the room said happily.
… …
In the ancient forest, at the bottom of the cold pond, Lu Xuan and Ruo Xiangyi were still cultivating. This wasn't the first day. Ever since Ruo Xiangyi realized the benefits of this place, she refused to leave. She didn't care about exposing her body and letting Lu Xuan feast his eyes. She couldn't help but regret in her heart. If she knew this day would come, she would have followed Lu Xuan to cultivate. But even if she came late, she would still be able to break through to the third level of the Origin Realm after leaving the ancient forest.
Right at this moment, Ruo Xiangyi suddenly felt an intense energy wave coming from Lu Xuan's body. She couldn't help but stop cultivating and looked over in astonishment. Was he going to breakthrough again?
Before this, Lu Xuan was already at the ninth level of the Spirit Refinement Realm. Now, he was definitely going to break through to the tenth level of the Spirit Refinement Realm. Although the effects of the ten thousand year mystic ice had decreased, the pills that Lu Xuan concocted weren't just for show. With the help of the Sword Crystal to expel the pill toxins, Lu Xuan ate the pills like they were beans. He only stopped when the pills had no effect. Because of this, he was able to increase his cultivation level rapidly.
Sensing the abnormality in the spirit force, Bing Ling took the initiative to appear from the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword. Seeing Bing Ling's appearance, Ruo Xiangyi couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Her current image was indeed lacking in etiquette. More importantly, there was a man standing not far from her.
But Bing Ling didn't care about this. She looked at Lu Xuan and nodded, "Lu Xuan is about to breakthrough. There is still one more month. It seems that he might be able to reach the Origin Realm before we leave this place."
"Lu Xuan can breakthrough here?" Ruo Xiangyi was a little surprised. She pointed to the sky and asked, "Won't the array affect him?"
Bing Ling smiled slightly, "He is the owner of this place. The array will restrict others, but it won't affect him. He can even come in anytime in the future."
How lucky. Ruo Xiangyi sighed. As the descendant of an ancient almighty, the treatment was indeed different.
Not long after, Lu Xuan's body erupted with an extremely strong wave of elemental energy. The surrounding water of the Frigid Pond started to shake in an instant. Then, the elemental energy gradually dissipated and returned to Lu Xuan's body. Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes.
"Finally, the tenth level of Spirit Refinement. Just one step away from the Origin Realm." Lu Xuan said with bright eyes. He then turned to Ruo Xiangyi and Bing Ling and asked, "Is there any way to quickly breakthrough to the Origin Realm? I feel that after reaching the tenth level of Spirit Refinement, no matter how hard I cultivate, the spirit force in my body has reached a limit. If I can't break through to the Origin Realm, I won't be able to absorb any more spirit force. "
The tenth level of Spirit Refinement was also known as the peak of Spirit Refinement. Since it had already reached the peak, unless there was another breakthrough, it would be impossible to progress any further. Just like Lu Xuan's sword intent, he had already reached the peak of the sword intent, which was why there was no change after such a long time, unless he could comprehend the sword dao.
Ruo Xiangyi shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Breaking through from the Spirit Refinement to the Origin Realm depends on the spirit force in the body to return to the Origin Realm. I also broke through without knowing why."
Bing Ling said indifferently, "If you have enough talent, you will naturally break through when the conditions are right. But if you want to break through quickly, then you can only do it through battles. You will need to constantly use your spirit force in battles, which will be of great help to you in returning to the Origin Realm. Of course, those overwhelming battles won't help you at all. You need to be on par with each other and force out your full strength."
Battle? Lu Xuan thought to himself. The strongest demonic beasts in this ancient forest were only at the peak of the tenth level, which was close to the Demonic King Realm. However, he was already able to fight against them when he was at the eighth level of Spirit Refinement. It seemed like the effect wouldn't be as obvious now.
Got it! Lu Xuan's eyes lit up. Maybe it was time to challenge the War God Temple. Last time, he failed miserably in the first trial. With his current strength, he should be able to pass the trial. Moreover, the opponents in the War God Temple were all geniuses who had fought against Ye Tian before. They were more than enough to be his opponents.
