Just as these black primordial spirits were about to devour his consciousness.
Lu Xuan woke up.
It turns out, thankfully, it was just a suffocating nightmare.
Looking back.
During this month, Lu Xuan encountered countless setbacks.
At first, the spiritual energy initiation went relatively smoothly.
Later, the demonic invasion and...
His consciousness also suffered numerous tribulations, including going astray and becoming possessed.
This must be the consequence of advancing to a higher realm than one's current level!
Fortunately, Lu Xuan succeeded.
The three Nascent Soul cultivators also expended a great deal of their magical power.
Uncle Ji said:
“Young Lu, you’ve really hit the jackpot. It seems your Five Elements Spiritual Root is quite something. You’ve actually broken through to the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation realm in one go. Although you haven’t advanced to the late-stage Core Formation realm, you’re only half a step away. We’re worried that you won’t be able to withstand the attacks of your inner demons, so we have to stop for now.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan gratefully cupped his hands in greeting to the three Nascent Soul stage seniors from the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
"Don't worry, three seniors, I will definitely succeed in cultivating the Five Elements Divine Thunder Technique with Fairy Yuyao. The Ancient God Clan will never be able to set foot in our Endless Sea Cultivation World!"
After breaking through to the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation realm, Lu Xuan did not become complacent, because he knew that this was just the beginning. He still needed to find a way to advance to the late-stage Core Formation realm, and for now, he needed to stabilize his realm.
After explaining some matters concerning Lu Xuan's cultivation of the Five Elements Heavenly Thunder Technique, the three of them, including Uncle Ji, left the Heavenly Mystery Hall and went to the secret chamber at the back to meditate and cultivate to recover their magical power.
Behind them, in a secret chamber nestled within a bamboo grove on a small hill.
Uncle Ji, with a gloomy expression, said:
"Do you think our plan can succeed? Can we successfully deceive this kid Lu?"
"Perhaps. There shouldn't be any ancient gods left in the ancient god cave below. Back then, our righteous alliance of the human cultivation world was able to wipe out the ancient gods. Now, we can prevent them from descending upon our Endless Sea again..."
the next day.
After stabilizing his cultivation level, Lu Xuan went directly to the Weapon Refining Pavilion.
"Master Linghu, are you there? I've come to you for weapon crafting. I've collected all three of the three spiritual treasures. Are you confident you can forge a legendary high-grade magic weapon flying sword for me?"
"Oh, it's Fellow Daoist Lu."
Master Linghu walked over, still half asleep: "No one has come to me for weapon crafting these past few days, so I've been sleeping in for a few days. I never expected that you, Fellow Daoist Lu, would find those three divine artifacts so quickly. It's truly unbelievable!"
"Well, Master Linghu, you don't know this, but most of these were obtained with the help of several Nascent Soul seniors from the Loose Cultivator Alliance. I am only at the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation realm. How could I possibly find these three extremely rare spiritual treasures in such a short time?"
"What? Peak mid-stage Core Formation?"
Master Linghu cast the Observation Qi Technique with a look of disbelief.
Sure enough, Lu Xuan's cultivation level increased dramatically.
His aura directly reached the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation realm, comparable to a typical late-stage Core Formation cultivator, and almost on par with a Pseudo-Nascent Soul realm expert.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you truly have extraordinary fortune. I am ashamed to say that I have only reached the peak of the early stage of Core Formation after cultivating for two or three hundred years. I can tell that you are not old, probably not even a hundred years old!"
“Master Linghu, you have such keen insight. I have indeed not cultivated for a hundred years. Please forgive my ignorance, Master Linghu.”
"Young friend, you're too kind. How could I dare to call myself a master in front of you? I suppose in a few decades, you'll be a Nascent Soul expert! At that time, I'll have to call you Senior Lu."
Hearing Master Linghu's joking words, Lu Xuan pondered for a moment and said:
"Let's get back to the main topic! I wonder how confident you are, Master, as I only have one set of materials."
Upon hearing this, Master Linghu also showed a hint of solemnity:
"To be honest, my success rate in refining high-grade magic weapons is only 30%, let alone the rarest type of magic weapon, the flying sword. I only have about a 10% chance of success. You should think carefully."
"What, only a 10% chance?"
Lu Xuan was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.
He originally thought that Master Linghu's methods had at least a 50% chance of success.
It seems we have no choice but to find other weapon-refining masters.
If he fails, it will be extremely difficult to gather these three spiritual items again. With Lu Xuan's current level of magical power, it would take him decades to find them.
"In that case, I'll take my leave now. I'll come to visit Master Linghu another day for a chat, tea, and discussion."
"Young friend, it's alright. If you ever need anything from me in the future, just come to my weapon-refining shop. By the way, here's a map with the islands marked with the locations of the strongest weapon-refining masters in the Endless Sea. Go and take a look."
Lu Xuan took the map, thanked the owner, and left the weapon-refining shop.
Just then, Fairy Yuyao arrived.
“Lu Xuan, I know you don’t like me, but my master, True Person Qianyang, ordered me to cultivate the Five Elements Heavenly Thunder Technique with you to seal the entrance to the Ancient God Clan. Time is running out, and the three seniors can’t hold on for much longer.”
"Then what about your master, True Person Qianyang? Isn't he a peak late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator? Why isn't he making a move? Perhaps he could buy us some more time," Lu Xuan guessed, asking with a hint of doubt.
Upon hearing Lu Xuan's words, Fairy Yuyao shook her head and said earnestly to Lu Xuan:
"Originally, this was a secret of our Righteous Path Alliance, but now, under the watchful eyes of the three seniors, you cannot reveal it. To tell you the truth, our True Person Qianyang has already gone to fight the Demon Lord and deal with the Demonic Path Alliance."
"Why? Has the Demonic Alliance already made its move against our Righteous Alliance? Just how powerful is the Demon Lord that it requires True Immortal Qianyang to personally intervene?"
