There were a lot of techniques on the Talent Tree, and Lu Ye benefited a lot from them.
The reason why he could improve so quickly from Madam Yun's study of spirit runes had a lot to do with the knowledge he received from these techniques.
When he first obtained these techniques, he didn't know how to use them, but after learning from Madam Yun, Lu Ye slowly figured it out.
The two sharpness could be connected with this special technique to display a stronger killing power.
Simply put, the two sharpness connected with this special technique could be seen as two restrictions. It was equivalent to the moment Lu Ye drew his blade, there were two restrictions on the Pan Mountain Saber!
This was why it could directly pierce through the armor with good defensive power. The moment Lu Ye drew his blade, the spirit power on the entire saber became extremely sharp.
The saber pierced through his chest, but Yuan Guang didn't die. He raised his sword and stabbed towards Lu Ye's face. However, a burst of spirit power suddenly surged from his chest, and then, needle-like spirit power pierced through his body, turning him into a hedgehog.
Bold Spike!
This was a new spirit rune that Lu Ye obtained after letting the Talent Tree devour ten Earth Core Fires. It had no other use, but once it took shape, it would immediately use the spirit power that formed the spirit rune as a foundation to produce long spikes of spirit power. It wouldn't last for too long.
This spirit rune wasn't used normally, but if it took shape in the enemy's body, its killing power would be terrifying.
A cultivator, even if wearing some protective spirit tools, would always be very weak inside.
In the past, even if Lu Ye stabbed someone, as long as it didn't hurt a vital point, it wouldn't be able to kill them. However, it was different now. When he stabbed, he activated the Bold Spike Spirit Rune, which could directly cause the enemy's body to become riddled with holes. Even if they didn't die, they would be crippled!
It had to be said that this was a very vicious spirit rune.
After the long spikes of spirit power formed, they quickly disappeared. This was because the Bold Spike Spirit Rune dissipated, but the injuries left behind wouldn't disappear.
Yuan Guang's sword stopped in front of Lu Ye's eyes, unable to move an inch further.
When Lu Ye drew his blade, he kicked out and Yuan Guang flew out.
Ding dang …
Without its master, Yuan Guang's imperial tool was also shot down. Lu Ye raised his hand and withdrew his two spirit tools.
There was a strong repulsive feeling coming from the surroundings. Lu Ye knew that Yiyi was using the Nine Worlds Diagram.
His vision blurred and he appeared in front of Yiyi. Not far from him lay Yuan Guang's corpse.
Hao Ren looked at Lu Ye with a complicated expression. His mouth squirmed as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to phrase it.
On the other hand, Hao Qing couldn't help but praise, "Fellow Daoist Yi Ye, you're really … too amazing!" Her slightly trembling voice indicated that this praise came from the bottom of her heart.
The brother and sister stood next to Yiyi and watched the battle from beginning to end. Although the way the array diagram was presented made the battle look a little funny, and there was no sense of danger at all, the final result was that Lu Ye had killed Yuan Guang. His corpse was lying next to him, and his blood covered the ground.
Everyone knew that some cultivators from top sects could kill enemies above their level. However, the so-called killing enemies above their level was nothing more than a difference of one level in cultivation. Who had ever seen a difference of two levels?
Judging from Lu Ye's unscathed appearance, he obviously hadn't used his full strength in this battle.
However, they were wrong about this. In this battle, Lu Ye basically didn't hold back and used all the means he could. Unfortunately, Yuan Guang's final choice was somewhat mysterious, otherwise, he wouldn't have died so quickly. At least, he could have fought with Lu Ye for a while.
The reason why Lu Ye was unscathed was because he had accumulated a lot of experience fighting cultivators in the Mirage Realm, so he basically wouldn't make any mistakes. This was the accumulation of experience he had accumulated over and over again.
For example, Lu Ye had seen Yuan Guang's Sword Wave more than once in the Mirage Realm. If he hadn't accumulated experience in the Mirage Realm, Lu Ye would have been flustered the first time he saw this Sword Wave.
In comparison, a Ninth Order cultivator in the Mirage Realm was no different from a Ninth Order cultivator in the real world, and their strength was almost the same.
With a plan in mind, Lu Ye looked at Yiyi and asked for her opinion. Yiyi nodded lightly, indicating that she was fine.
With her strength, it was a bit difficult for her to activate the Nine Realms Diagram, but fortunately, she only needed to maintain the operation of the Nine Realms Diagram, so the consumption was still bearable.
After this battle, Hao Ren and his sister undoubtedly had a new understanding of Lu Ye's strength and relaxed a lot. After all, this was Sky Bearing Sect's territory. If they stayed here, they were afraid of being discovered by a Ninth Order cultivator.
But now, it seemed that even if a Ninth Order cultivator came here, they would only be throwing their lives away.
Lu Ye and Yiyi needed to recover, so Hao Ren and his sister took the initiative to stand guard.
Time passed, and the night was over.
The fragrance of the Purple Cloud Flower became stronger and stronger, and the bud began to slowly bloom. This Purple Cloud Flower was completely mature.
Hao Ren took out a hundred Spirit Stones and handed them to Lu Ye, and then Hao Qing carefully picked the Purple Cloud Flower and put it into the wooden box she had prepared.
The money and goods were exchanged, and the cooperation was pleasant. For Lu Ye, these hundred Spirit Stones were free. Although it wasn't a lot, it was enough for him and Hu Po to cultivate for a few days.
"Brother Yi Ye, you asked about the location of Sky Bearing Sect's Mineral Lode before because you wanted to go …" Hao Ren said, reaching out and gesturing to his neck.
"What advice does Brother Hao have for me?"
Hao Ren hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't dare to give you any advice, but there are many people there. If Brother Yi Ye and his sister go there like this, it's … it's …" He didn't know what to say. He wanted to say that it was reckless, but he was afraid of offending them.
"I'll act according to the circumstances."
Hao Ren said, "If you don't mind, how about we brother and sister go with you?" If he hadn't seen how Lu Ye killed Yuan Guang, Hao Ren wouldn't have dared to make such a suggestion, but after seeing with his own eyes that even Yuan Guang wasn't Lu Ye's opponent, Hao Ren felt that it wasn't impossible, but they needed to be careful.
Lu Ye raised his brow, "That would be for the best."
He wasn't surprised that Hao Ren and his sister would join in. Silver Light Island and Sky Bearing Sect were neighbors, so there was bound to be a lot of friction. If someone wanted to stir up trouble in Sky Bearing Sect, the cultivators of Silver Light Island would be happy to see it happen.
Lu Ye hadn't tried to rope them in before because they weren't familiar with each other, and because others might not be willing to take the risk.
But since Hao Ren had taken the initiative to propose, it was different. The brother and sister were both Eighth Order cultivators, so their strength was pretty good.
After talking, he learned that the brother and sister were both Ghost Cultivators who were proficient in the Dao of Concealment.
Only then did Lu Ye understand why the two of them dared to come to Sky Bearing Sect's territory to look for the Purple Cloud Flower. It turned out that they were Ghost Cultivators.
Ghost Cultivators were similar to Weapon Cultivators before the Seventh Order, but after the Seventh Order, they could communicate with the Netherworld, allowing them to display the advantages of this Sect. Among the various Sects, Body Cultivators had the strongest physique, Magic Cultivators had the best Magic Arts, Weapon Cultivators were valiant, and Medical Cultivators could heal the wounded and save the dying.
Ghost Cultivators were hard to guard against because they were fast and were good at assassination and concealment. This Sect was also the easiest to kill enemies above their realm.
If a Ghost Cultivator quietly got close to them, even if their cultivation was higher, they wouldn't necessarily have a good end.
Correspondingly, the body of a ghost cultivator was as fragile as that of a spell cultivator. Furthermore, they would never be able to cultivate spells. There was a price to pay for communicating with the netherworld. This was because the spiritual energy in a ghost cultivator's body was no longer pure spiritual energy. It was a very special kind of energy. It was this kind of energy that gave them all kinds of unbelievable abilities.
According to Lu Ye's original plan, he would find the place where the Sky Bearing Sect cultivators gathered and find a way to lure the snake out of its hole. He was a Seventh Order cultivator from Grand Heaven Alliance, so as long as he showed his face there, he would definitely be hunted down.
So, if one came, he would kill one. If two came, he would kill two. If too many people came, he would run.
In any case, he would do whatever he could.
He was here for revenge, so he wouldn't talk about benevolence and righteousness with his enemies.
Now that the Hao siblings were here, it was more convenient for him to carry out his plan. Bait was necessary to lure the snake out of its hole, and an Eighth Order Ghost Cultivator was undoubtedly the most suitable bait, especially since this bait came from Silver Light Island.
After some discussion, the plan was set.
The group of four headed in the direction of Sky Bearing Sect's Mineral Lode.
An Eighth Order cultivator could barely fly on an Artifact Manipulation Technique, but not to mention the amount of Spirit Qi required to fly, it wouldn't be appropriate to swagger around in the territory of a hostile force.
So, the four of them rushed over. Fortunately, Sky Bearing Sect's Mineral Lode wasn't too far from here. It was about two hundred kilometres away from Sky Bearing Sect's encampment.
The resources controlled by each Sect wouldn't be too far away from their encampment, because if they were too far away, they wouldn't have enough strength to protect them.
This was also the standard for the location of the encampment. They would first inquire about the location of the resources in their encampment before deciding on the location of their encampment.
After a day of travel, the four of them arrived at their destination at night.
This location was only sixty kilometres away from Sky Bearing Sect's encampment and thirty kilometres away from the Mineral Lode.
They didn't move out immediately, but instead rested for a while.
In the middle of the night, Hao Ren sneakily set off. Lu Ye saw him not go far before suddenly merging into the night. Even when he condensed his Spirit Qi in his eyes, he couldn't see Hao Ren's trace.
This was the uniqueness of Ghost Cultivators. Hao Ren's current cultivation wasn't high enough, so he couldn't completely conceal himself, but there was no problem in condensing his Spirit Qi.
When a Ghost Cultivator reached the Cloud River Realm, it would be even more difficult to detect their whereabouts. So, a powerful Ghost Cultivator was very frightening. He could be at a time and place when the enemy least expected him to wield a sharp weapon to take their life.
Of course, it wasn't impossible to break the concealment of Ghost Cultivators. If they were attacked, they would still be exposed. Moreover, after a cultivator's cultivation increased, their perception would also become stronger, and they would have a faint sense of hidden danger.
After waiting for less than an hour, two streams of light suddenly rushed out from the opposite side of the Mineral Lode, one from the left and one from the right. These two were both Ninth Order cultivators, and one of them should be a Spirit Cultivator, because he was constantly using Spirit Techniques while flying, striking downward with astonishing momentum. Although the other didn't use any Spirit Techniques, he still used the power of Imperial Artifact Manipulation, and a faint golden stream of light shuttled through the forest.
