Return. Reunion. Joy.
There was wine. Wild drinking. Tipsy.
Under the moonlight, the few of them sat around a wooden table. The table was filled with delicacies that Li Baxian had meticulously cooked. The group chatted and laughed, toasting each other.
Lu Ye's heart also calmed down.
In the Spirit Stream Battlefield, there was a sect encampment, a place where sect cultivators could feel a sense of belonging.
The Cloud River Battlefield was different. Ninety percent of Cloud River Tier cultivators did not have a fixed residence on the Cloud River Battlefield. They wandered everywhere in search of opportunities that belonged to them.
Although the number of Spirit Lands was not small, not everyone could obtain them.
Huitian Valley's Spirit Lands were created by Lu Ye single-handedly. It had resisted the invasion of many Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators here. He had a sense of belonging to this place. He also had his fourth senior brother, Feng Yuechan, Giant Armor, and the others with him …
The outside world was exciting, but in the entire Cloud River Battlefield, this was the place where he could stay.
The moon was high in the sky. The bright moonlight poured down, covering the entire Huitian Valley with a layer of silver frost.
Giant Armor finished the wine in the jar and got up to walk to the side. The wolf pack gathered tightly under the lead of the wolf king. Giant Armor's huge and burly figure was particularly eye-catching even among the wolf pack. Looking around, it was as if he was the wolf king walking alone and the wolf pack following him.
He came to the place where he usually cultivated and got into that strange and unique posture. As he breathed, visible moonlight fell from the sky and was swallowed into his lungs.
The howls of the wolves rose and fell one after another. Many of the demon wolves followed suit and bathed in the moonlight.
As Giant Armor breathed, more and more moonlight gathered in Huitian Valley. It became denser and denser. The entire valley was covered in a hazy halo, as if it was in a sea of moonlight.
"No matter how many times I see it, I still find it incredible." Li Baxian sighed in amazement.
He had never seen or heard of Giant Armor's unique cultivation method before. It did not seem to be a cultivation method, but a kind of instinct, a kind of talent.
He had tried to understand the mysteries of this cultivation method by Giant Armor's side before, but unfortunately, he did not gain anything.
After these days, the wolf pack's overall strength had increased significantly with Giant Armor's cultivation.
Without paying any more attention to Giant Armor, the two brothers continued to drink and chat until the sky was about to brighten. Only then did they return to their rooms to rest.
It was rare that Lu Ye did not cultivate. Instead, she lay on her bed and had a good sleep.
Ever since he left Huitian Valley the last time, he had been running around and fighting. After that, he entered the Secret Realm of the Soaring Dragon Realm. Even if he occasionally rested during this period, it was only to recover his physical strength and spirit.
At this moment, using the hazy drunkenness, he finally completely relaxed.
He slept all the way until evening. If it wasn't for Hu Po licking his face, he would have slept even longer.
In a daze, he raised his hand to grab the amber and threw it to the side. He slowly sat up and felt his entire body relax. The exhaustion of the past few days was swept away, and his mind was unprecedentedly calm and clear.
A person's mind was like a bowstring. If it had been bouncing around for too long, an appropriate amount of rest and adjustment could often bring about great satisfaction.
Yiyi, Hua Ci, and Feng Yuechan's soft laughter could be heard from outside the house.
There was still some fragrance at the tip of his nose. It seemed that Fourth Senior Brother had personally cooked again.
He got up and pushed the door open. Sure enough, in front of the stove, Li Baxian was wearing an apron and busying himself. The three women were assisting on the side.
"Morning!" Lu Ye subconsciously greeted, causing everyone to be stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.
Lu Ye looked up at the sky and saw the shadow of the moon hanging high in the sky. It was obviously going to be dark soon.
Not long after, everyone sat around the table again and tasted Li Baxian's cooking. However, this time, they did not drink wine. Li Baxian only made some bland food.
After all, cultivation was the most important task of a cultivator. No one was willing to waste time.
Wasting time at this time might be the source of disadvantage in future battles.
They had already delayed for a day. After today, everyone would enter their own cultivation.
During this time, Lu Ye thought of something and took out two jade slips from his Storage Space. He handed one to Li Baxian and the other to Feng Yuechan.
"This is …" Li Baxian looked at Lu Ye in confusion.
"A sword art." Lu Ye casually explained.
In the Dragon Soaring Realm's secret realm, the one who left the deepest impression on him was not the bald monk with a strong physique and vigorous vitality from the Vajra Temple, nor was it the magic cultivators of the Imperial Heavenly Sect who were proficient in all kinds of mysterious techniques. It was the sword cultivators of the Haoran Academy.
Especially the Sword Art.
Lu Ye did not understand the way of sword cultivation, but this did not prevent him from seeing that it was an extremely profound sword art.
He casually mentioned it in front of Yuan Changcun that day, and Yuan Changcun quickly sent the rubbing of the Sword Art over.
In normal times, it was naturally impossible for such a top force to impart to outsiders, not to mention sending a rubbing for others to study.
However, at that time, the Dragon Soaring Realm was on the verge of destruction. Lu Ye was also recognized as the savior of the world. Not to mention the Sword Art, even if Lu Ye asked to be the dean of the Haoran Academy, Yuan Changcun would probably welcome him and abdicate.
Compared to the survival of an entire domain, what was a single sword technique worth?
Not only did Yuan Changcun send over the Sword Art, but the Imperial Heavenly Sect also sent over many secret techniques. The Vajra Temple also sent over secret techniques to temper one's physique …
Li Baxian was born in the Jade Blood Sect and later joined the Pill Heart Sect. However, the Pill Heart Sect was not a sword cultivation sect. Although he had cultivated in the North Profound Sword Sect for a period of time, it was only as a normal exchange between cultivators of different sects. No matter how much the Sword Master of the North Profound Sword Sect appreciated him, he was not a disciple of the North Profound Sword Sect. The Sword Master could not teach him too much core knowledge.
Li Baxian was born to be a sword cultivator who was famous for killing. If he could stay in the North Profound Sword Sect, his achievements would definitely be much higher than what he was now.
The Sword Master of the North Profound Sword Sect had personally visited the Pill Heart Sect and expressed that he wanted to take Li Baxian as his disciple.
Unfortunately, a despicable person interfered and did not get what he wanted.
After that, Li Baxian's spirit acupoints were destroyed and he was stuck in the Spirit Stream Realm for more than ten years.
Now that he had accumulated enough, his cultivation improved rapidly. However, he was not much better off than Lu Ye on the path of sword cultivation. He was basically fumbling his way forward.
The Book Sword Mantra was a timely help to him at this moment. Its usefulness was far greater than Lu Ye had imagined.
Therefore, when Li Baxian picked up the jade slip and immersed himself in it, he was instantly immersed in it and could not extricate himself.
Feng Yuechan also picked up the jade slip in front of her. After checking it, she found that it was full of records of many mysterious secret techniques. She also read it with great interest.
In the Pill Heart Sect, her status was much higher than Li Baxian's. After all, her birth mother was a vice sect master of the Pill Heart Sect.
However, the Pill Heart Sect only rose to prominence a few decades ago. Its foundation was not strong and could not be compared to those large sects with long histories. The things passed down by the Imperial Heavenly Sect were naturally stronger than the Pill Heart Sect.
The things recorded in the jade slip were undoubtedly very attractive to her.
Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan were immersed in the jade slip and could not extricate themselves. Lu Ye did not disturb them and just ate by himself.
After a long while, Li Baxian let out a long breath and came back to his senses. He looked at Lu Ye and said, "Little Junior Brother, I won't say thanks to you. This Sword Art has helped Senior Brother a lot."
Although he did not know where Lu Ye obtained this Sword Art, it was undoubtedly extremely precious. It must not have been easy for Lu Ye to obtain it.
"It's good that it's useful to Senior Brother," Lu Ye smiled.
After a while, Feng Yuechan also came back to her senses and thanked Lu Ye with a smile.
"Senior Sister Feng is too polite. We're family, there's no need for formalities," Lu Ye said casually.
Feng Yuechan pondered for a moment before her eyes curved into crescents. She smiled even more happily and nodded repeatedly, "Little Junior Brother is right."
With such a harvest, both Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan could not wait to comprehend the mysteries in the jade slip. Although the things inside could not help them improve their cultivation, they could increase their strength.
Lu Ye saw this and said, "Fourth Senior Brother, Senior Sister Feng can go on ahead. I'll take care of things here later."
Li Baxian nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you."
He stood up and walked towards his room. After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "Oh right, remember to sign up for the Cloud River Contest. There are only a few days left."
After Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan left, Lu Ye was confused, "What's the Cloud River Contest?"
Why did he need to sign up?
He had never heard of this before.
Hua Ci explained, "It's a grand event operated by Heaven's Secrets." She slowly explained to Lu Ye.
Lu Ye finally understood what the Cloud River Contest was.
On the Spirit Stream Battlefield, there was a Spirit Stream List. Countless Spirit Stream Tier cultivators fought for a place on the list and obtained various rewards from Heaven's Secrets to strengthen their foundations.
However, there was no such thing as a Cloud River List on the Cloud River Battlefield. There was only the Cloud River Contest that was held once every five years.
All Cloud River Tier cultivators who wanted to participate could sign up through the Heaven's Secrets Pillar.
When the time limit was up, they would fight with different opponents under the arrangements of Heaven's Secrets.
After these battles, the top one hundred strongest cultivators would be determined. They would be the so-called Cloud River Top Hundred, similar to the Spirit Stream List.
And these one hundred people would all be able to obtain rewards from Heaven's Secrets.
"The reward for first place is twenty golden spirit lots!"
"So generous?"
Lu Ye was shocked.
He had worked so hard in the Mystery Realm of the Dragon Soaring Realm, and had almost lost his life. In the end, he had mobilized the power of the entire Dragon Soaring Realm to lay down the Great Heaven Mending Formation. Only then did he obtain close to twenty golden spirit lots, and this was under the premise that the Battle Merit Pavilion had given him a ten percent discount.
The reward for first place in the Cloud River Contest was actually more than what he had obtained in the Dragon Soaring Realm?
However, after thinking about it, it was not that strange.
After all, this was a grand event that only happened once every five years. Moreover, it was a grand event that all Cloud River Tier cultivators could participate in. At that time, there would be many capable cultivators and powerful cultivators. If one wanted to obtain first place in such a grand event, they would definitely have to risk their lives.
