"Why am I here?" Lu Xuan blurted out. "Did you teleport me out?"
Little Tanuki shook her head. "No, I was waiting here a day ago when I suddenly saw you appear. However, you didn't move at all and just sat here cultivating."
Speaking of this, Little Tanuki seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, Xuan, after you came out, I found this thing."
After saying that, Little Tanuki raised a bead in front of Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan reached out and took it. He probed it with his Divine Sense and found that it was a special artifact. There was a remnant Psyche in it that made Lu Xuan feel vaguely familiar. Soon, he realized that this Psyche belonged to Buno.
Now that Buno was dead, Lu Xuan didn't spend much effort to erase this Psyche and then left his Soul Brand in it. Then, a message poured into Lu Xuan's mind.
Sensing this message, Lu Xuan understood that it was a Space Bead. Not only could it be used for storage, but it could also create an alternate space for people to hide in.
"So that's how the Soul Clan hides themselves. It's a good treasure." Lu Xuan muttered to himself. If the enemy didn't have someone who was good at Space Dao, it would be easy to use this Space Bead to deceive everyone. It could be said to be a life-saving weapon.
After putting away the rare Space Bead, Lu Xuan stood up and said, "I've killed the Soul race. It's time for us to go back."
"Go back? What about my subordinates? "Little Tanuki was a little embarrassed.
Lu Xuan glanced at her and said, "You're thinking about your little foxes, right?"
Little Tanuki narrowed her eyes and smiled. "It's all the same."
Lu Xuan shook his head. "They're demonic beasts. The forest is the foundation of their life. Let them stay here. You can let Hu Tong manage it for you. If you have nothing to do in the future, you can come back and visit."
Immediately, Lu Xuan flew to where the demonic beasts were waiting with Little Tanuki. Passing through the territory of some powerful Demon Emperors undoubtedly caused some trouble. Lu Xuan wanted to use the dragon's might again, but he found that he had burned all the Azure Dragon Blood Essence in his body, so he couldn't use his bloodline talent.
He could only flee with a bitter smile. Fortunately, Lu Xuan didn't show any aggression. The Demon Kings gave up after chasing him for some distance. However, Lu Xuan thought that he had to spend some time to refine the Azure Dragon Blood essence again. Otherwise, his strength would be greatly reduced.
Hu Tong was leaning against a tree in a daze. When he saw Lu Xuan and Little Tanuki return, he hurriedly greeted them. "Young Hero Lu, Lord Little Tanuki, you're finally back. Where are we going next?"
Lu Xuan shook his head. "We're not going anywhere. I've already killed the Soul Race. The Beast Tide should have stopped now. It's time for me to leave."
"Ah? Then Lord Little Tanuki is leaving too? "Hu Tong was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Lu Xuan to leave so soon. He wasn't ready yet.
"Of course, I'm leaving with Xuan." Little Tanuki jumped onto Hu Tong's shoulder and patted his head. "Hu Tong, I have high hopes for you. After I leave, they'll be under your command. Oh right, that junior of yours … keep a close eye on him."
Hu Tong didn't expect Little Tanuki to let him lead the demonic beasts. He was immediately overwhelmed by the favor. Didn't that mean that he would be the ruler of this place in the future?
He immediately said, "Don't worry, Lord Little Tanuki. I'll definitely help you manage them well. I won't let any demonic beasts touch my junior."
Little Tanuki immediately rushed above the demonic beasts and shouted, explaining to them that Hu Tong would be her representative from now on.
After everything was done, Lu Xuan smiled at Hu Tong and said, "You've done well this time. If you encounter any humans who recognize you when you go down the mountain and want to attack you, just say my name. Remember, my name is Lu Xuan."
Hu Tong was overjoyed and repeatedly thanked him. "This old man thanks Young Hero Lu for his great kindness."
Judging from Lu Xuan's strength, Hu Tong knew that Lu Xuan was definitely not an ordinary person. At this time, with Lu Xuan's protection, he would no longer have to be on tenterhooks when he traveled in the outside world in the future. Otherwise, he would always have to worry about being seen through by human experts and being captured to dig out his Yao Core.
Lu Xuan waved his hand, and the Gentle Wind Spirit Boat appeared in an instant. Little Tanuki took the lead and rushed into it, and Lu Xuan followed closely behind. This was already the belly of the Hundred Thousand Huge Mountains. Lu Xuan didn't want to waste so much time on the road. Under the gaze of the demonic beasts, the Gentle Wind Spirit Boat quickly turned into a black dot and disappeared into the distance.
Standing on the Gentle Wind Spirit Boat, Lu Xuan estimated that it would take at least three or four days to rush back to Hundred Flowers City. At this moment, he didn't waste any time and sat down cross-legged. At the same time, he operated the Taiyi Fusion Technique and the Dragon Clan's Bloodline Secret Technique. The battle with Buno had caused him to lose all the Azure Dragon Blood Essence in his body. He needed to condense it quickly. Otherwise, not only would his strength be greatly reduced, he wouldn't even be able to use the Seven Dragon Transformation Sword Techniques.
With the circulation of the Bloodline Secret Technique, the bloodline power that had already fused into Lu Xuan's bone marrow started to take effect. Drops of Azure Dragon Blood Essence were condensed and fused into Lu Xuan's blood.
Just like that, time slowly passed. When 100 drops of Azure Dragon Blood Essence were condensed, Lu Xuan suddenly felt something. He abruptly stopped condensing the blood essence and immersed his mind into his dantian. He saw that his seventh dantian was already extremely complete. There were actually signs of it breaking through to the eighth level of the Origin Realm!
This discovery immediately made Lu Xuan overjoyed. Battles were indeed the best way to improve his strength. After arriving at the Hundred Thousand Mountains, he had experienced several battles along the way. Especially the battle with Buno, it had almost forced him to use all his potential. Even so, if it wasn't for the help of the Sword Crystal at the last moment, he would have almost been annihilated in the hands of Buno. The Soul Race was indeed one of the top races in the Heaven Region. Their methods were too strange.
Immediately, Lu Xuan circulated the Taiyi Fusion Technique wholeheartedly and quickly absorbed the surrounding essence force. Endless essence force flowed into Lu Xuan's body. The seventh dantian was becoming more and more complete. There was a faint feeling that it had reached its limit.
Half a day later, a strong wave of essence force was emitted from Lu Xuan's body. The eighth dantian was finally born!
Feeling the commotion, Little Tanuki curiously came to the front of Lu Xuan. After mingling with the human race for so long, it naturally knew that this was a sign of a breakthrough. It saw Lu Xuan opening his eyes.
Little Tanuki immediately learned from Hu Tong and raised its two front paws towards Lu Xuan. It smiled and said, "Congratulations Xuan on your breakthrough."
Lu Xuan laughed heartily and rubbed Little Tanuki's furry head. He was in a great mood. This trip to the Hundred Thousand Mountains might have been filled with danger and he almost lost his life, but the rewards were great.
Other than the increase in his body refinement to the eighth level of the Origin Realm, his Soul Refinement Lineage had been promoted to a 9-star Soul Talisman Master. His soul force was now comparable to a 2-star Soul Talisman Master. As long as he successfully comprehended the Talisman Dao, he would be a true Soul Talisman Master.
On top of that, the Five Elemental Divine Inscriptions and Lightning Array Divine Inscriptions in his body had all been upgraded to three stars. He had even grasped the powerful Lightning of Calming Heart and successfully comprehended the Law of Strength, creating the Mountain and Rivers Lifting Strength. His current physique refinement strength was probably no weaker than a Virtualized realm cultivator.
Lu Xuan's goal was to have the three branches of the Refined Soul, Refined Body, and Refined Soul improve at the same time. Walking to the deck of the Gentle Wind Spirit Boat, Lu Xuan raised his head to look at the sky. Although there didn't seem to be anything strange, he knew that there was a powerful barrier above, a barrier that Ye Tian had condensed at the cost of all of his life force.
Under the effect of this barrier, no one in the Heavenly Sword Continent could break through to the Transcendent Realm, and no one could ascend to the Heaven Domain! Only he, who cultivated the Taiyi Regression Technique, could not be bound by the barrier. One day, when he reached the Transcendent Realm in all three branches of the Refined Soul, Refined Body, and Refined Soul, he would be able to break the barrier in one fell swoop, breaking the shackles that protected and imprisoned the people of the Heavenly Sword Continent, and reopening the passage to the Heaven Domain.
Although his current strength was extraordinary, there was still a long way to go before he could reach the Transcendent Realm. However, Lu Xuan believed that no matter how difficult it was, he would definitely succeed. This was the confidence that came from his heart of martial arts!
Finally, the Gentle Wind Spirit Boat rushed out of the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range. Lu Xuan reduced the speed of the Gentle Wind Spirit Boat so that he could better observe the situation below. It was different from the time when he went to the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range where Monster Beasts rampaged. Now, everything seemed to have returned to normal. In some small towns, he could vaguely see cultivators walking around, perhaps cleaning up their ruined homes.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xuan's good mood due to the beast tide being repelled immediately disappeared without a trace. Even though Bu Nuo had been killed by him, the pain he brought to these cultivators and commoners would never disappear. Because of this beast tide, countless families had been destroyed. Wives had lost their husbands, children had lost their parents, and the elderly had lost their descendants.
At this moment, Lu Xuan finally understood that the Heavenly Sword Continent being sealed off by Ye Tian was not necessarily a bad thing. The war between races was the most brutal. If the Heavenly Sword Continent had not been sealed off, would there be powerhouses from other races who would slaughter the people of the Heavenly Sword Continent out of anger?
When he thought of the bits and pieces of information he had obtained from Bu Nuo, Lu Xuan immediately knew his responsibility. Bu Nuo was definitely not the only member of the Soul Race. Bu Nuo alone had caused countless deaths and injuries in the territory of Hundred Flowers City. Once more members of the Soul Race appeared, the Heavenly Sword Continent would be in danger.
With this heavy heart, Lu Xuan finally arrived at An Yuan City. The Gentle Wind Spirit Boat landed, and Lu Xuan appeared at the top of the city wall. The current An Yuan City was more prosperous and lively than before. However, the city still looked extremely dilapidated. Clearly, it had not recovered from the disaster of the beast tide.
With a long sigh, Lu Xuan flew towards the location of the teleportation array in An Yuan City according to his memory. He needed to borrow the teleportation array here.
There were still people guarding the teleportation array. Lu Xuan could vaguely remember the faces of two of them. After being slightly stunned, they quickly recognized Lu Xuan and immediately greeted him. This was an expert who could monopolize the position of a Demon Emperor.
"How's the situation in An Yuan City?" asked Lu Xuan with a smile.
