with tears in her eyes. She knew deep down that Wunian was gone, but a glimmer of hope still lingered in her heart. Last time Lu Xiaoteng left Qinyin Temple so quickly, many things remained unclear....Luo Qian, Su Qing, and Qing Li stood there, watching Lu Xia Tian leave. They continued to watch until his figure completely disappeared, then reluctantly withdrew their gazes.
"From the old Lingxiao Palace to now, Senior Brother Lu's footsteps have never stopped." Luo Qian turned his gaze back to Su Qing, then looked at himself. Until now, they still saw a layer of mystery on Senior Brother Lu. Senior Brother Lu was still the same Senior Brother Lu as before, no matter what, he was their unwavering shield of trust. And they were willing to do anything for Lu Xiaoxiao. The three siblings, even if separated by thousands of years in this world, would rush to each other's aid without hesitation upon hearing of trouble."
Apart from mutual trust, Luo Qian and Su Qing were puzzled. Despite Lu Xiaoxian's unparalleled strength in this world, connecting past and present, there seemed to be a sword constantly hanging over his head. Since entering this world, Lu Xiaoxian had always been among the best cultivators of his rank. However, under the threat of Jiantai, he had been struggling all along. Judging from the current situation, the trouble on Lu Xiaoxian seems to have not been completely resolved.
"But Senior Brother Lu's troubles haven't lessened, Senior Brother Luo, I want to go to the Immortal Realm," Su Qing said.
"Then let's go!" Luo Qian nodded. "The three of us siblings can support each other all the way to this realm, and we can do the same in the fairy world."
"Master, Master Uncle, I want to go too." Qing Li hurriedly said.
“Go now, all of you.” Luo Qian let out a laugh.
After bidding farewell to Lu Xiaotian and Luo Qian, Su Qing brought along Luo Ping'er and the arriving Xiang Qingcheng. They traveled throughout the land, visiting every corner inhabited by humans, ghosts, demons, and monsters.
Xiang Qingcheng had settled the affairs of Yuqing Xian Palace. At this time, Yuqing Xian Palace still had Wushan Lao Gui sitting in town, and the Yuan Shi Jian Mo of this realm had been eliminated. The strong demon clan and demon clan were all severely injured by Lu Xiaotian, and the ghost clan was also quite intimidated. With Lu Xiaotian staying in this realm, no one dared to take any drastic action. Without the threat of Yuan Shi Jian Mo, all the major forces in this realm felt that a heavy cloud had lifted from above their heads. Since Yuan Shi Jian Mo entered this realm, who knows how many years have passed. Even if cultivators in this realm entered the Great Ascension stage and the Tribulation Transcendence stage, they still felt an unattainable presence above their heads.
Though Lu Xia Tian has now taken the place of the former, compared to Yuan Shi Jian Mo, his strength is indeed unparalleled. However, he will eventually leave this realm. Those who have attained Mahayana and survived the tribulation period cultivate for many years and naturally do not want anyone else to look down on them from a position of power.
Like the Jade Immortal Palace and the Wind Snow Holy Sect, these powerful forces naturally wouldn't worry about what Lu Xia Tian would do. Compared to the unapproachable and enigmatic Yuan Shi Sword Demon, Lu Xia Tian was simply an outsider as long as he didn't become an enemy. There were many who had interacted with Lu Xia Tian, and even some who had previously been in opposition ultimately eased their stance.
Without worries, Xiang Qingcheng could travel freely with Luo Ping'er as they followed Lu Xiaottian through the various territories. After thousands of years in this realm, this was the first time she felt truly carefree and at ease. She no longer had to worry about powerful enemies from Pinyin chasing after her. Her heart was finally relaxed, unlike before when it always felt tense.
One day, by a lake under a bright moon in the demon-ruled state of Bama, Lu Xia Tian's mind was tranquil. His magical power was restrained by this realm, and although there wasn't a noticeable increase, the mountains and rivers within Lu Xia Tian's heart became more complete. The Fang Tianhua halberd, which was once full of cracks, now healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Demon Suppressing Pagoda is also recovering at a faster rate than ever before...
Throughout their continuous trials with Lu Xia Tian, both Luo Ping'er and Xiang Qingcheng have seen significant improvement in their abilities. The only thing that left Lu Xia Tian somewhat dissatisfied was that Jin You Gui Zhu and Ye Qian Xin had never submitted to him. Faced with this, Lu Xia Tian could only shake his head. Judging from their attitudes, Ye Qian Xin probably refused to be anyone's puppet anymore, possessing a strong and proud spirit within her. As for Jin You Gui Zhu, he chose to bide his time, waiting for the right price.
Of the two, Lu Xia Tian truly valued Ye Qian Xun. Ye Qian Xun had immersed herself in the Sword Embryo Dao for many years, her accomplishments far surpassing those of Jin You Gui Zhu, a half-hearted practitioner. Since neither of them could respond immediately, Lu Xia Tian simply ignored them, both trapped within the Qing Guo barrier.Whether their response was delayed or only given after arriving in the Immortal Realm, it held no further value for Lu Xia Tian.
While carrying the項傾城, Luo Ping'er traveled between various ethnic groups. Similar to how Dongfang Yi rescued 項傾城 last time, Lu Xia Tian primarily sought out places with corresponding spatial fluctuations. He intended to use space rifts to traverse the void, potentially returning to the Lingxu Secret Realm.
The areas connected to the Lingxu Secret Realm, such as the Human Gate and Ghost Gate, were relatively easy to find. Lu Xiaoteng had searched everywhere for them but found nothing. It wasn't until hundreds of years later, when Lu Xiaoteng once again traveled to the Bama State, that he unexpectedly encountered the Jade-Faced Scholar, who had recovered most of his primordial energy. The Jade-Faced Scholar was slain by Xiang Qingcheng under her sword, a battle that shook the Bama State for some time. Finally, in a deep fissure on the Bama State, Lu Xiaoteng sensed an aura similar to that of the Human Gate in the Lingxu Secret Realm.
With Xiang Qincheng and Luo Ping'er watching, Lu Xia Tian stepped into the undulating space rift.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Qīngchéng, do you know Luó Qīng" Luo Píng'er watched Lù Xiǎotiān throw himself into the space rift and disappear. Her face showed some worry.
"Our acquaintance started with hearsay, and then we spent some time together in the Lingxu Secret Realm." Xiang Qingcheng's face showed a look of reminiscence.
"The space is mysterious and dangerous, don't you worry about him" Luo Ping'er asked curiously.
“Some things have to be done, worrying won't help. If he doesn't come back, I'll find a way to look for him later.” Xiang Qingcheng smiled upon hearing this.
Amidst the undulating hills in the distance, a group of heavily armored cavalrymen could be seen battling with five male and female cultivators adorned with ancient sword emblems on their chests.
The cavalry had the advantage in hand-to-hand combat. The man at the front, clad in tiger-skin armor, launched a green spear. It streaked through the air as a ray of light, targeting the young woman leading the opposite side. While not breathtakingly beautiful, she possessed clear features and was quite lovely. With a flick of her hand, several flying swords emerged from her sleeve. The first two swords struck the green spear with a ringing clang. The swords were deflected, and the spear's momentum lessened. As the third sword flew in, the green spear was forced back, but the green sword sliced through the air in a strange arc, heading for the tiger-skin man’s waist.
Several of the tiger-striped man's kin followed close behind, engaging in battle with the line of cultivators across from them.
...The azure long spears shot out, clashing incessantly with the flying swords. Spiritual energy fluctuated frequently in mid-air. These cultivators who wielded flying swords held a slight advantage in overall strength.n thunder could potentially shatter the already battered Nine Rings Lightning-Attracting Needle completely."What have you wrought!" Ye Qianxun looked up in astonishment at the raging storm clouds swir...
