The rumbling sounds continued as the three Great Void Realm experts continued to attack the volcano in front of them. But this volcano was extremely sturdy and didn't seem like a normal mountain rock. Under the attacks of the trio, it didn't even budge an inch.
At the start, the three of them were still holding back. But when they saw that their attacks weren't effective, they began to gradually use all of their strength.
In the belly of the volcano, Bing Ling didn't care about the attacks coming from outside. She waved her hand and set up a formation to isolate the rumbling sounds. She didn't want Lu Xuan to be disturbed and allowed Lu Xuan to cultivate in peace.
Lu Xuan continued to absorb the pure Yuanli, and the ninth inner core spun rapidly. It seemed to grow larger with every spin, and the size of the ninth inner core gradually surpassed the size of the other eight inner cores.
At that moment, a new primordial elixir appeared in Lu Xuan's dantian.
A powerful qi presence was emitted from Lu Xuan's body. This was because he had just broken through and was unable to control his own strength. Right now, Lu Xuan was a fully deserving tenth level Origin Realm expert. He was only one step away from the Great Void Realm. It could even be said that he was only half a step away!
He had already comprehended the laws. What he needed now was just the accumulation of strength.
Sensing Lu Xuan's qi presence, Yu Chenghua was secretly shocked. He broke through to the tenth level of the Origin Realm just like that?
For ordinary people, making a breakthrough, even if it was just by a small level, would have been a hurdle. However, for Lu Xuan, making a breakthrough seemed as easy as eating and drinking. He did not need to think too much about it. All he needed to do was to absorb enough Yuanli, just like how one only needed to eat a full meal.
While he had long known that Lu Xuan had the power to rival those in the Taixu Realm, power was one thing, and the realm was another. With all sorts of treasures, a warrior could unleash power far beyond their own realm. All of these were external powers that could be borrowed, but one's own realm was the real deal. There was nothing illusory about it.
Opening his eyes, Lu Xuan stood up slowly. With a suction force, the Masked Dust Sword landed in his hand. Huo Li emerged from the Masked Dust Sword and looked at Lu Xuan curiously. He could feel that Lu Xuan's qi presence had gotten stronger.
"Huo Li, thank you." Lu Xuan revealed a smile and looked at Huo Li. If Huo Li didn't easily give up his main body and let Lu Xuan absorb it, how could he reach the tenth level of the Origin Realm so quickly?
Huo Li was puzzled by Lu Xuan's gratitude. To him, the main body's Li Fire Essence was useless. It was tasteless, but it was a pity to give it up. What he yearned for was freedom. He waved his hand nonchalantly and asked, "When do we leave?"
"Now!" Lu Xuan answered.
"We can leave now? That's great. " Huo Li immediately revealed a look of joy. After he finished speaking, he disappeared again and went back into the Mist Sword.
At this moment, Bing Ling walked forward and said, "Lu Xuan, someone is attacking the array outside. I'm afraid that once you get out, you will have to prepare for battle."
Immediately after, the ice spirit removed the soundproof array, and a series of rumbling sounds entered Lu Xuan's ears. Hearing this sound, Lu Xuan frowned slightly, "Could it be that Nangong Lie has discovered the abnormality of this place and wants to come in to take the treasure?"
"I'm not sure. But now that you have subdued Huo Li and fused with the Li Fire Essence, there is no need to be afraid." Bing Ling shook her head.
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Let's go out and have a look."
Bing Ling nodded slightly and waved her hand. The illusory door appeared again.
Nangong Lie and the others who were attacking the array were slightly surprised by the sudden appearance of the illusory door. Fang Siyuan revealed a trace of ecstasy and said, "Finally, there is movement. The array must have been broken by us. This door must be the key to enter!"
After saying that, Fang Siyuan hurriedly rushed towards the illusory door. It was obvious that he wanted to be one step ahead of Nangong Lie, afraid that he would get there before Nangong Lie. However, at that moment, the illusory door flashed, and several figures suddenly appeared. The illusory door immediately closed. Those people were naturally Lu Xuan and the others.
Fang Siyuan could not help but be shocked when he saw this. He quickly stopped and glanced at Lu Xuan and the others suspiciously. Soon, he turned his eyes to Yu Chenghua, who had the highest realm among them.
"Yu Chenghua, it's you?" Fang Siyuan said in a serious tone, "Why did you come out from here? Have you already obtained the treasures inside?"
Fang Siyuan's last sentence had a trace of questioning in it. Among Lu Xuan and the others, Yu Chenghua's realm was the highest. In his opinion, Lu Xuan was obviously Yu Chenghua's junior and he did not look at Yu Chenghua seriously at all.
Yu Chenghua could not help but look at Lu Xuan, obviously waiting for Lu Xuan's instructions. However, Lu Xuan did not speak and only looked at the three groups of people. Among them, he had naturally seen Nangong Lie and the others. He did not know Fang Siyuan and Ma Yuan, but from Fang Siyuan's tone, he knew that Fang Siyuan's strength and status were definitely higher than Yu Chenghua, the deputy hall master of the Departed Soul Hall.
Without Lu Xuan's instructions, Yu Chenghua could only say, "Elder Fang has misunderstood. I did not obtain any treasures."
Seeing Yu Chenghua's timid appearance, Fang Siyuan was even more certain of his guess. He coldly snorted and said, "Do you think we are three years old? The treasures inside are definitely fire attribute treasures. They are not very useful to you people from the Illusionary God Sect. On account of the friendship between our two sects, I am willing to exchange something with you."
Yu Chenghua shook his head and said, "I really did not obtain any treasures."
Fang Siyuan's eyes immediately turned cold. Although Yu Chenghua was from the Illusionary God Sect, he was only a deputy hall master of a branch hall. In terms of status and strength, Yu Chenghua could not compare to him. Now that he had already shown his sincerity, Yu Chenghua still refused to let go. He could not help but be angry.
"It seems that you want to refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit?" Fang Siyuan said coldly.
But right at this moment, Nangong Lie suddenly said, "I believe him. He indeed did not obtain any treasures."
Fang Siyuan turned his head in astonishment and didn't know why Nangong Lie would say this. Nangong Lie was naturally certain because he knew that even though Yu Chenghua had the highest cultivation realm, the one making the decision wasn't Yu Chenghua. If the treasures were to be obtained, it would be Lu Xuan.
At this moment, Lu Xuan cupped his hands and smiled faintly, "Brother Nangong, I didn't think that we would meet again. What a coincidence."
Nangong Lie took a glance at Lu Xuan and was slightly curious. Previously when he saw Lu Xuan, he was at the ninth level of the Origin Realm. He originally thought that Lu Xuan was hiding his true strength, but now, Lu Xuan was already at the tenth level of the Origin Realm. If Lu Xuan was really using some kind of technique to hide his true strength, why would he change it so easily?
Could it be that he had been fooled by Lu Xuan? Thinking of this, Nangong Lie couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart. He immediately asked, "Brother Lu, did you find anything in here?"
Hearing this, Lu Xuan smiled lightly and said faintly, "There are indeed some unexpected gains."
Hearing this, Fang Siyuan finally shifted his gaze to the inconspicuous Lu Xuan. But what he couldn't understand was why Nangong Lie, a sixth level Great Void Realm expert, would actually call a kid who wasn't even at the Great Void Realm brother?
However, compared to this, he was more interested in the fact that Lu Xuan personally admitted that he had found something in the volcano. Fang Siyuan immediately activated the Seeking Firestone and realized that the Seeking Firestone had no reaction at all. Without a doubt, the treasures in the volcano had disappeared. It was highly possible that the treasures were kept by this kid with the surname Lu!
"Kid, which faction are you from?" Fang Siyuan's heart was already filled with greed, but he still cautiously confirmed Lu Xuan's identity.
"Me? I'm just a nobody in the Jiuhua Alliance. "Lu Xuan chuckled, then asked in return," And who are you? "
"I am Fang Siyuan, an elder of the Fang Family of Octagonal Sacred Temple," Fang Siyuan answered with a hint of arrogance.
"Oh …" Lu Xuan heard this and immediately said, "I don't know you. If there's nothing else, please don't block the way. Brother Nangong, we'll meet again."
As soon as Lu Xuan finished speaking, he lifted his foot and was about to leave, but Fang Siyuan shouted angrily, "Stop right there! If you don't want to die, hand over the things you found! "
When he announced his name, Fang Siyuan thought that Lu Xuan would be in fear and trepidation. Who would've thought that Lu Xuan didn't take it seriously and even said that he didn't know him? He didn't even greet him with respect. Fang Siyuan had successfully angered Fang Siyuan. What's more, Lu Xuan was a member of the Jiuhua Alliance. If Lu Xuan was from the Illusory God Sect, Fang Siyuan might have to reconsider. But against a member of the Jiuhua Alliance, he had no qualms.
As soon as Fang Siyuan said that, Ma Yuan and the others from the Holy Temple of Eight Corners immediately surrounded Lu Xuan and the others. Nangong Lie was the only one who did not move at all.
Fang Siyuan also noticed this anomaly. He couldn't help but turn to Nangong Lie and said in a low voice, "Third Master Nangong, what is the meaning of this?"
Nangong Lie was now a little hesitant. Because Lu Xuan's strength had suddenly increased to the tenth level of the Origin Realm, it made him doubt Lu Xuan's true strength. He wasn't sure if Lu Xuan really had the strength to talk to him or if he was just pretending to be strong to deceive him.
After a slight sigh, Nangong Lie slowly said, "I have met brother Lu once. I will not interfere in the matters between the two of you."
Ma Yuan was straightforward and said directly, "Since you, Nangong Lie, are not going to make a move, then you won't have a share of the treasures later."
Fang Siyuan's mind was much deeper than Ma Yuan's. He waved his hand to signal Ma Yuan to shut up. He looked at Nangong Lie and said, "Nangong Lie, we are all from the Octagonal Sacred Temple. We should be on the same side. Everyone knows the grudge between the Octagonal Sacred Temple and the Jiuhua Alliance. Now that you are not going to join forces with us, could it be … your Nangong Clan has ulterior motives towards the Octagonal Sacred Temple?"
Nangong Lie couldn't help but raise his brows. He stared at Fang Siyuan and said slowly, "Are you threatening me?"
