Although it was difficult for Lu Xiaotian to advance any further after reaching this level, Lu Xiaotian was becoming more and more proficient in using the Mountain River Dao Realm, and he was gradually integrating it into his various abilities. Every single one of his movements was imbued with the majesty of mountains and rivers.
Just the three golden condor puppets alone were already comparable to ordinary Grand Ascension cultivators, and the twelve silver condor puppets were no less powerful than ordinary Grand Ascension cultivators. Even if he were to encounter the majority of Grand Ascension cultivators, he wouldn't be inferior. However, in the hands of Lu Xiaotian, all of them were completely overwhelmed by Lu Xiaotian's aura.
Fu Yong was astonished. This was definitely not something that an ordinary Grand Ascension cultivator could accomplish. Lu Xiaotian's cultivation had reached an unbelievable level. He had entered the East Puppet Imperial Tomb very early on, and only the heavens knew how turbulent the outside world had been during his time in the tomb. Sure enough, the strong were always strong. Even in this realm, Lu Xiaotian was still able to stand in the middle of the ocean and fight against the most turbulent waves.
While Fu Yong was in a daze, Lu Xiaotian had already disappeared into the darkness in the distance. Even if the group of golden condors wanted to pursue him, they wouldn't be able to catch up to him.
Lu Xiaotian sped along according to Fu Yong's instructions, and he didn't encounter any hidden traps along the way. If there were more golden condors, Lu Xiaotian would have to expend more effort to escape. However, a mere dozen or so golden and silver condors weren't much of a hindrance to him.
He entered a grey stone passageway that wound for several hundred kilometers and passed through many forks before finally arriving at a floating azure boulder. The boulder had a radius of around five kilometers, and there were many stone figurines floating around it. They looked harmless, but since Fu Yong was using them as a foothold, they were most likely not just for decoration. They were only under Fu Yong's control.
Lu Xiaotian meditated here for two days, and nothing else happened. However, on the third day, he suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation from the passageway.
"There have been many strange occurrences in the imperial tomb recently, so I'm too busy to attend to them. Sorry to have kept you waiting." Fu Yong bowed to Lu Xiaotian.
"It's fine. I've been wandering around the East Puppet Imperial Tomb for some time, and I've gained nothing. Another day or two won't make a difference." Lu Xiaotian shook his head, and then looked at Fu Yong and said, "I didn't expect that the Qin Clan's people would have such shocking secrets after coming to this realm. It's truly astonishing. Fellow Daoist Fu Yong came to the imperial mausoleum because he found his own inheritance. "
Fu Yong had already reached the late-Body Integration Stage and wasn't much weaker than Xiang Kuang, so Lu Xiaotian wasn't trying to flatter him.
"I originally thought that my progress was quite fast, so I was quite proud of myself. It wasn't until I met Pill King Lu that I realized I was a frog in a well. I've been in the Emperor Continent for a long time, so I don't know how big the world is. "
Fu Yong cupped his hands at Lu Xiaotian and said, "It's all thanks to Senior's help outside the Star Domain that I can achieve what I have today. Otherwise, I would have been frozen in the snow region of the Four Seasons Demon Bottle. How could I have achieved what I have today?"
Back then, Lu Xiaotian had broken into the Qin Clan's forbidden area and had clashed with the Qin Clan's people. Later on, he had even taken away the Qin Clan's Golden Man Eighteen. At one point, Fu Yong and the others had a very bad impression of Lu Xiaotian.
However, Lu Xiaotian had led the fierce battle between the Human Clan and the Ghost Clan. He had defeated the Ghost Clan's army and brought them to this realm according to his promise. Although he was domineering at times, he was still upright. Although Fu Yong and the others were not convinced, they did not dislike Lu Xiaotian's methods. If they were in a different place, they might not be able to do what Lu Xiaotian had done.
When they had gone to the periphery of the Star Domain and seen them in trouble, Lu Xiaotian had acted as a passerby. However, Lu Xiaotian had still saved them from their predicament. The only thing they were thinking about was that both sides were old acquaintances. Fu Yong and the others did not feel that their relationship with Lu Xiaotian was very solid. They did not expect much from Lu Xiaotian. However, they had received unexpected help. The Qin Clan had people who could distinguish between kindness and hatred.
"It's nothing. We came from the same place, so there should be some friendship." Lu Xiaotian waved his hand. "Are you familiar with the tomb?"
"I know a little. If I may be so bold as to ask, what is the purpose of your visit?" Fu Yong cupped his hands again.
"I'm here to find the whereabouts of the Primeval Sword Demon. Xiang Qingcheng and Dongfang Yi are trapped in another space. Three to five Mahayana cultivators would not be able to save them," Lu Xiaotian said.
"The Primeval Sword Demon?" Fu Yong was stunned.
"The person behind the sword embryo called himself the Sword Demon. His Daoist name is Primeval. He turned into an eminent monk of the Buddhist Sect. I had a battle with the Buddhist Sect. After that, he escaped. Although I obtained the Empyrean Cauldron, the second half of the cauldron controlling technique was forcefully erased by him … "
"Whether it is to settle our grudges or to obtain the Empyrean Cauldron, I have to find the Primeval Sword Demon." Lu Xiaotian did not hide much about this matter from Fu Yong. After all, the general situation of the battle with the Buddhist Sect was such a big event. It would be difficult not to know about it outside of the imperial mausoleum. It was not a secret.
However, he revealed some details about the Empyrean Cauldron and the Primeval Sword Demon to Fu Yong that outsiders did not know about. Lu Xiaotian had wandered in the East Puppet Emperor's mausoleum for so long without gaining anything. Since he wanted to get some help from Fu Yong, it was necessary to take precautions, but there was no need to hide everything. If Fu Yong did not want to help him, there was no need for him to meet him now.
Fu Yong was speechless for a long time. He thought that Lu Xiaotian was already at the peak of the human race, but after hearing Lu Xiaotian's words, he realized that he had greatly underestimated him.
"Pill King Lu's level is far beyond this junior's reach. A treasure like the Empyrean Cauldron contains mysteries that this junior cannot fathom. There may be some treasures in the imperial mausoleum, especially the inheritance of the Dao of Puppetry. No one in the world can match it. "
"There are three thousand Great Daos. Cultivators who can cultivate to the Mahayana realm each have their own Daos. However, they do not necessarily need to cultivate the Dao of Puppetry. Over the years that this junior has been here, there have been Mahayana cultivators who have entered the mausoleum from time to time. There have been ghosts, demons, humans, and even demons. Especially this time, there have been several of them. Something that can drive Mahayana cultivators might not be just some heaven-defying treasure. As for what it is, this junior's knowledge is limited, so I can't give you much advice. "
"Could it have something to do with the trip to the True Immortal Realm?" Lu Xiaotian's heart stirred. He had not thought of this at first, but after hearing Fu Yong's words, Lu Xiaotian felt that it was extremely strange. Moreover, the Heavenspan Demon Lord had said that ascension was not the only way to go to the Immortal Realm. There was also another path. Although it was more dangerous than the lightning tribulation. However, there would always be people who would take the risk under the great temptation of going to the Immortal Realm.
