"He ran fast enough! What kind of Core Formation cultivator is he? He's no match for you!" Lu Xuan was not arrogant, of course. He knew that Gu Wudi was only able to exert 20-30% of his early Core Formation strength because he was short of lifespan and injured.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful Lu Xuan is, he is only a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even with the Devouring Demon Worm and the Primordial Ruler, he can only defeat cultivators at the Pseudo-Core stage at most.
It can be said that Gu Wudi was just unlucky.
They wanted to scheme against Lu Xuan.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan outmaneuvered him.
"Young friend, I will return to take my revenge!"
A voice came from underground.
It turns out that Gu Wudi used a secret earth-้ (earth-้ is a type of magic) technique to escape.
Do they have to say a few harsh words before running?
"court death!"
How could Lu Xuan let Gu Wudi escape?
Should we let the opponent recover from their injuries, and then unleash our magic weapon to hunt them down?
Lu Xuan had long ago decided to completely eliminate the hidden danger that was Gu Wudi!
"Devouring Demon Insect Restriction Technique!"
Lu Xuan used a secret insect-controlling technique to transform the thousands of Devouring Demonic Insects into a suit of armor.
"Devouring Armor, capable of breaking through anything!"
This is the highest-level secret technique using the Devouring Demon Insect.
Once you put it on, traversing mountains and rivers will be a piece of cake.
"disease!"
Lu Xuan activated his Devouring Demon Armor, instantly burrowing dozens of feet underground.
Lu Xuan quickly caught up with Gu Wudi.
"Where do you think you're going? Leave your storage bag and your life behind! This underground place is quite cool, so let it be your final resting place, Senior Gu! What do you think? I think this place is perfect for you, Senior!"
"Young friend, aren't you afraid I might really self-destruct?"
When Gu Wudi saw that Lu Xuan had actually chased after him, his face changed drastically in fright.
His magical power is now severely depleted.
The essence is damaged.
He could only unleash less than 10% of his magical power, making him no match for Lu Xuan.
If Gu Wudi encountered an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, he wouldn't need to run at all.
However, Lu Xuan, this Foundation Establishment cultivator, was surprisingly powerful.
Gu Wudi had been walking in the cultivation world for hundreds of years and had never encountered a Foundation Establishment cultivator as powerful as Lu Xuan.
"Young friend, I can tell you the secrets and origins of that palace in exchange for my life?"
Gu Wudi begged for mercy again.
"Tell me first. If it's of no use to me, no matter how big the secret is, I won't let you go!"
After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he summoned his most powerful ancient spiritual artifact, the Nine Heavens Spirit Lamp.
Although this item consumes spirit stones, its power is comparable to a true low-grade magic weapon.
"An ancient spiritual artifact?" Gu Wudi's eyes turned red with envy when he saw the Nine Heavens Spiritual Lamp, an ancient spiritual artifact, in Lu Xuan's hand.
He had originally intended to steal this ancient magical artifact from the Zhao family's secret chamber, but due to his limited lifespan, he kept putting it off. Now, this treasure has actually fallen into Lu Xuan's hands.
This made Gu Wudi both angry and resentful.
"Young friend Lu, it seems I was wrong. I thought you were also a Foundation Establishment cultivator who could be easily dealt with. I am willing to compensate you with a bottle of high-grade antidote pills for Core Formation cultivators! I only ask that you spare my life!"
"Let me see it, and then tell me about the origin and secrets of that palace!"
Lu Xuan accepted the pill.
After finding that there were no problems.
After taking it, the poison in his body completely disappeared.
It seems that this kind of Gu poison can only be eliminated by methods used at the Core Formation stage.
Gu Wudi then began to recount the origins of that strange palace:
โThree hundred years ago, divine fire fell from the sky over the Nine Li Sea and landed on a house, which is this palace. Countless Core Formation cultivators went to investigate afterward, but none of them could open the palace's black jade walls! Even Nascent Soul cultivators were helpless, and later no one came! So I used magic to hide it!โ
"What secret is behind this? Senior Gu, no, Gu Wudi, if you're just spouting nonsense, I can activate the spirit lamp and kill you right now!"
Seeing Lu's expression, Gu Wudi realized he wasn't joking, so he said seriously:
"There aren't really any treasures inside, just a bottle of Creation Elixir and a blank book. That's all I know, and I found it in an ancient book! And the name of this palace is the Tongxuan Immortal Palace!"
"Tsk tsk, Gu Wudi, I hope you're not lying!"
Next, Lu Xuan successfully placed a restriction on Gu Wudi's primordial spirit.
From then on, Gu Wudi, the Core Formation cultivator, could only obey Lu Xuan, the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Otherwise, Lu Xuan could have destroyed his primordial spirit with a single thought, causing his complete demise.
Seeing this, Gu Wudi had no choice but to acknowledge Lu Xuan as his master.
"Young friend Lu, from now on you will be the strongest in our Jiuli Sea. The Jiuli Sea will belong to you!"
"Really? Then how are you going to solve your lifespan problem? I don't want someone I just recruited to be about to pass away!"
Gu Wudi Dao:
"It's very simple. As long as you find the fruit on the legendary Nine Spirit Tree, I can live for another ten or eight years!"
"The Nine-Spirit Treasure Tree? What a coincidence, I actually have one!"
Lu Xuan had obtained a Nine Spirit Tree by chance when he was at Tianhai Gate in the Yunmeng Mountains.
It was then nurtured in the Dantian Treasure Cauldron space.
The Nine Spirit Tree is now even more spiritual, with dozens of ripe fruits on it.
