Little Tanuki snorted, "They asked for it. I let them rest here out of goodwill to avoid the sandstorm, but they actually bit the hand that fed them. They deserve to be attacked by the sandstorm."
Lu Xuan nodded. Zheng Ping was a little too arrogant. Just because he was a member of the Octagonal Sacred Hall's Zheng clan, he didn't place anyone else in his eyes. This time, they had kicked a metal plate. If it was anyone else, they might really have been chased out by Zheng Ping's group.
Lu Xuan raised his head to look at the sandstorm outside. Not only did it show no signs of stopping, it grew even more violent. It even showed signs of heading towards the cave he was in.
Lu Xuan could not help but think that the hillside he was on had probably been a tall mountain in the past. Sandstorms came and went for 10,000 years, gradually reducing the mountain into a small hillside. It would not have been long before the hillside melted into the desert as well. Such was the power of time and the vicissitudes of life.
Seeing that the sandstorm wouldn't stop anytime soon, Lu Xuan decided to do something. So he took out the Five Elemental Space-Severing Slash he had obtained from the Heaven Emperor Palace.
The Five Elemental Space-Severing Slash was based on the Five Elemental Divine Inscriptions. If the Five Elemental Divine Inscriptions weren't gathered, it would be impossible to cultivate it.
It was different from the Golden Blaze Explosion. The Golden Blaze Explosion was a fist technique, while the Five Elemental Space-Severing Slash was a weapon technique. Now that Lu Xuan had the Clouddust Sword that could increase its weight at will, coupled with his comprehension of the Dao of the Sword, once he successfully cultivated the Five Elemental Space-Severing Slash, its power would definitely be countless times greater than the Golden Blaze Explosion.
The power of the five elements was endless. Metal gave birth to water, water gave birth to wood, wood gave birth to fire, fire gave birth to earth, and earth gave birth to metal. When the five elements gathered, the power of the Divine Inscriptions flowed unceasingly …
After grasping the key points of the Five Element Spatial Shattering Slash, Lu Xuan took out the Smoky Sword and instantly raised it to five thousand kilograms in weight. He began to circulate the power of the Divine Inscriptions in his body. After that, a series of shouts continuously rang out from the cave.
As Lu Xuan continued to practice, his understanding of the Five Elemental Spatial Severing Slash grew deeper and deeper. The Five Elemental Spatial Severing Slash was different from the Pulling Out of Thousand Catties Strength. The Pulling Out of Thousand Catties Strength relied on the Laws of Force, while the Five Elemental Spatial Severing Slash was augmented by the power of Divine Inscriptions. Also, because the five elemental attributes were different, the same move could unleash boundless might.
For example, if it was executed with the energy of the Seventhgold Divine Crest, then its penetrative force would be extremely formidable; if it was executed with the energy of the Third-Fire Divine Crest, then its destructive force would be extremely great; if it was executed with the energy of the Earthen Divine Crest, then its energy would be extremely thick; if it was executed with the energy of the Second-Wood Divine Crest, then its energy would be endless; if it was executed with the energy of the Ninth-Water Divine Crest, then its energy would be endless.
The sandstorm lasted for an entire day and night. Lu Xuan practiced for an entire day and night, and the Five Elemental Spatial Severing Slash was basically ready to be used in battle. Its power was probably not inferior to the Pulling Out of Thousand Catties Strength.
Feeling that the outside gradually calmed down, Lu Xuan walked out of the cave with Little Tanuki. Looking back, the hillside had shrunk by nearly three feet in one night. The power of this sandstorm really couldn't be underestimated.
Looking around, Lu Xuan didn't see anyone. He didn't know where Zheng Ping and the others had gone. Presumably, after they left this place, they went to find another hiding place.
No longer paying attention to this, Lu Xuan released his perception and continued to rush around in this desert world. After walking for nearly half an hour, Lu Xuan suddenly felt a burst of the essence of the earth attribute, and it was quite pure.
His heart suddenly moved. Could it be that the appearance of the sandstorm had swept out some treasures that were buried underground?
This guess was very likely. Back in the Mysterious Ice Pavilion's Mysterious Ice Secret Realm, after the Mysterious Ice Storm, some extremely rare top-grade ice attribute Primordial Stones would be brought out.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. He quickly changed direction and rushed toward the area that he had sensed.
Soon, a desert sea suddenly appeared in front of Lu Xuan. Unlike the rolling sand dunes elsewhere, this place was extremely flat. It was really strange that there was such a flat place in the desert.
"Xuan, what is that?" Little Tanuki stood on Lu Xuan's shoulder and pointed to a crystal in the distance that was reflecting light.
Lu Xuan turned his head and looked at it. His heart moved and he said, "It seems to be some kind of mineral material."
Then he quickly walked over, but just as he stepped into the desert sea, he was suddenly shocked. A powerful devouring force came, as if it wanted to pull him into the desert sea. Caught off guard, Lu Xuan was almost directly pulled in, and he quickly retreated.
"How can there be such a powerful devouring force here?" Lu Xuan said in shock.
Little Tanuki said doubtfully, "Is there a Soul Clan hidden under this desert?"
Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't think so. This devouring power wasn't released at the last minute. It has always been here. I finally understand why this place is a sea of desert. Under the influence of this power, there would be no sand dunes at all. They would be flattened by this devouring power in an instant."
After thinking about it, Lu Xuan casually grabbed a handful of sand, and under the pressure of the powerful force, he instantly condensed it into a stone. Then he gently threw the stone into the desert sea.
Lu Xuan did not use any force, and it was reasonable to say that the stone should fall on the sand, but under his gaze, the stone seemed to fall into the water, sinking extremely quickly and disappeared in an instant.
"It really is a bit strange." Lu Xuan nodded. He released his divine sense to investigate again, but found that he could only go three feet deep and could not go any further, as if something was blocking his detection.
There were many strange things in the world, and he would not go so far as to venture deep into the sea of the desert to find out what was going on. Curiosity killed the cat, and it could also kill a person. Lu Xuan was puzzled.
After a slight hesitation, Lu Xuan condensed another stone, aimed at the crystal that reflected the light, and only heard a crisp sound, the crystal was suddenly hit by the stone and flew high.
At this moment, Lu Xuan's eyes flashed, raised his hand, and a powerful yuan qi waved out, instantly wrapped the crystal, and swept it back.
Little Tanuki praised, "Xuan, good technique."
Lu Xuan smiled slightly and looked down at the crystal in his hand. This was a crystal with clear edges and corners, and it seemed to be formed under great pressure. He thought that it was probably caused by this strange devouring force.
"This seems to be the Xuanling Sand Crystal?" Lu Xuan touched the crystal and said to himself.
"Xuanling Sand Crystal? What's the use? Can it be eaten? "Little Tanuki threw a series of questions.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile when he heard the words, "Not to mention that it can't be eaten, even if it can be eaten, I'm afraid you can't bite it."
Little Tanuki was not convinced, and snatched the Xuanling Sand Crystal from Lu Xuan's hand, and said angrily, "I don't believe there is anything that I, Little Tanuki can't bite."
Before Lu Xuan could stop it, Little Tanuki bit a corner of the Xuanling Sand Crystal.
"Ouch!" Little Tanuki cried out in pain and quickly took out the Xuanling Sand Crystal. She covered the corner of her mouth with her claws and said, "This thing is so hard, it almost broke my teeth. I'll give it back to you, I won't eat it."
Lu Xuan smiled and took the Xuanling Sand Crystal again. When he looked at the place where Little Tanuki had bitten, there was a shallow bite mark. He was secretly surprised. Such a hard Xuanling Sand Crystal was bitten by Little Tanuki. Little Tanuki's teeth were really sharp.
Weighing the Xuanling Sand Crystal in his hand, Lu Xuan explained, "Xuanling Sand Crystal is a good material for refining, but ordinary refiners can't refine it. If it can be used as a material to refine a precious weapon, it will at least be above the Earth Rank Middle Grade. Even the Earth Rank Upper Grade is very possible. This is a treasure."
"What's the use of that, Xuan, you don't lack weapons." Little Tanuki wondered. No matter how good a treasure was, if it couldn't be eaten or used, it could only be put on display.
Lu Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Although I don't refine weapons, I can absorb the pure Earth Essence in it and condense it into a Divine Mark!"
Speaking of this, Lu Xuan's eyes flashed with a trace of fire. This sealed land was really full of treasures. If he could get more Xuanling Sand Crystals, he was confident that he could condense the Four Star Earth Divine Mark!
Little Tanuki's eyes also lit up when she heard this, and she said, "Then let's look again. Since there is one here, there must be more."
Lu Xuan nodded, he also had the same idea. Immediately, one man and one raccoon walked around this desert sea and found a lot of Xuanling Sand Crystals. Unfortunately, the more central the desert sea was, the more Xuanling Sand Crystals there were. Although Lu Xuan looked at it with envy, he didn't dare to pick up those Xuanling Sand Crystals against the devouring power. He could only hope that he could find something at the edge.
After searching for a while, Lu Xuan collected a total of five Xuanling Sand Crystals, but it was still too little. Lu Xuan estimated that at least five more would be needed to provide enough Earth Essence to condense the Four Star Earth Divine Mark.
But at this time, another two groups of cultivators came over. With the previous experience, Lu Xuan secretly raised his guard. In this sealed land, his enemies were not only the Soul Race, but also the human race.
Especially since the Xuanling Sand Crystals were very valuable. Humans die for wealth, birds die for food. It was not uncommon to kill people for treasures in the cultivation world.
Among these two groups of cultivators, there was one group that Lu Xuan was familiar with. It was Zheng Qiwei and Zheng Ping's group that he had a conflict with previously. When he saw Lu Xuan, Zheng Qiwei's expression was slightly unnatural. He was a Great Void Realm expert, but he actually lost to a mere ninth level Origin Realm kid like Lu Xuan. Even now, Zheng Ping was still wary of Lu Xuan, thinking that Lu Xuan had ulterior motives towards the Zheng Clan.
As for the other group, Lu Xuan didn't recognize them. But judging from their attire, they weren't from the Nine Eastern Alliance. After all, he had already seen the Nine Eastern Alliance and its subordinates in Hundred Flowers City.
