Chapter 1017: Asking the Plump Bird
Chapter 1017: Asking the Plump Bird
"A delivered supply of blood and flesh, we shouldn't let it slip by."
Within the Great Sword Boat, Lu Xuan extended his palm, and a shadow resembling a gluttonous beast flashed past, disappearing into his dantian.
The Gluttonous Worm Pouch had been refined into a spatial magical tool many years ago. After killing the Celestial Beast that lacked foresight, Lu Xuan immediately utilized this low-grade treasure, and from a distance, he rolled up the beast's blood and flesh.
His spirit perception swept over Wen Qian and the three others, noticing the shock on their faces, and a smile crept onto his lips.
These four were his subordinates, and with the Celestial Beast conveniently delivering itself, he displayed his mastery of the ShadowSplit Blade Art, using mysterious sword techniques to effortlessly kill the beast and, at the same time, subtly demonstrate his power before the four.
So far, the effect seemed quite satisfactory.
This Celestial Beast was merely a minor interruption. With the presence of the seventh-rank Great Sword Boat, any mystic winds or thunder fires in the void were effortlessly pushed aside.
"We've arrived at the Cave Profound Sword Sect."
Suddenly, Lu Xuan's gentle voice echoed in the ears of the four.
"Yes, Senior Lu."
They quickly exited their rooms and gathered together.
Lu Xuan placed his hands behind his back and slowly approached the four.
"What you see before you is the Cave Profound Sword Sect's grand protective formation, the Ten Direction Annihilation Sword Array."
He explained.
Outside the Great Sword Boat, the four could see countless sword Qi filling the entire sky.
The soaring sword intent seemed capable of piercing through everything in the world.
Witnessing this spectacular sight, a sense of insignificance welled up in the hearts of the four.
In the face of such a heavenly phenomenon, they felt like insignificant mayflies, minuscule to the extreme.
"The Ten Direction Annihilation Sword Array is a ninth-rank sword formation. Even a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator who inadvertently enters it risks being killed."
Lu Xuan casually introduced.
"A ninth-rank sword formation? Capable of killing a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
Questions simultaneously surfaced in the minds of the four.
These terms were too distant for them, making them sound incredibly foreign.
"To enter the formation, you need a Sword Sect Disciple Identity Tablet. You four can only temporarily remain outside."
"After entering the sect's territory, I'll first settle you down, and then make proper arrangements."
Lu Xuan spoke slowly.
Entering and exiting the sword formation requires a Sword Sect Disciple Identity Tablet, but as an inner sect disciple, I can bring a few followers in and out of the sect for a short time.
All that's needed is a temporary identity tablet, which allows free entry and exit within a specified time frame.
The duration varies from one to ten years, and once inside the sect, there are significant restrictions on movement. If the Discipline Hall disciples discover any violations, even I, who helped process the temporary identity tablets, will be implicated.
Within the Cave Profound Sword Sect, over ten thousand disciples reside, each a cultivation genius from various celestial realms. It's a complex network.
As a result, three massive cities have sprung up around the sect, and Lu Xuan chose one to settle Bai Li Jian Qing and the three others.
"I wonder how those swordgrass spirit plants in the cave abode are growing now?"
Lu Xuan hurried into the sect and rushed towards his cave abode.
"The spiritual energy on True Sword Peak is indeed purer and denser."
He sighed softly, arriving outside his cave abode.
"Master? Master has returned!!!"
Before he could activate the formation, a delighted shout from the white ape echoed from within the cave.
A white light instantly appeared before Lu Xuan, pouncing at his feet and hugging his legs tightly.
"Master, you've been gone for so many years, I've missed you so much!"
The white ape's eyes were red, tears streaming down its face.
This wasn't an act; it was a genuine outpouring of emotion.
Indeed, Lu Xuan had been away for an extended period.
The white ape thought he would return within a year or two, but as time passed without his return, it couldn't help but feel worried.
As time went on, this concern grew more intense, and by the end, he feared that Lu Xuan might encounter some mishap, leaving him alone to guard the cave mansion.
"Alright, you're already a Fifth Rank Divine Beast, yet your emotions are still so easily swayed."
Lu Xuan chuckled and kicked the White Jade Heaven-reaching Ape away.
"I was just worried about you, Master!"
The white ape gave a sheepish laugh, showing no hint of its ferocious and violent nature.
"How's the cave mansion doing lately?"
He asked with a smile as he headed deeper into the cave mansion.
"The Swordmaster and several Nascent Soul Realm True Monarchs from the True Sword Peak have all visited the cave mansion."
"Among them, Yuanrong True Monarch seemed as anxious as I am, eagerly awaiting your return."
"Yuanrong True Monarch... was he here to urge for the Sword Talismans?"
Lu Xuan chuckled lightly. After being away for so long, he wondered how much debt he had accumulated, no wonder Yuanrong True Monarch was eager for him to return to the sect.
Fortunately, during his time in Thunder Star Cave, he hadn't been idle. With his master-level Talisman Crafting skills, he could easily create Sword Talismans to fulfill the sect's needs.
"Apart from that, several disciples from the True Sword Peak have come to visit you, but since you weren't here, they haven't come in recent years."
"Even some of the True Disciples from the Heavenly Sword Sect came. Half a year ago, Ge Pu specifically told me that Huo Lin'er Junior Brother had started preparing for his second Core Formation breakthrough."
"Huo Lin'er Senior Brother..."
Lu Xuan paused, sincerely wishing him success in his breakthrough. Otherwise, if he failed again, he might become completely disheartened and give up on his cultivation path.
"Oh, and once, a Nascent Soul Realm True Monarch from the True Sword Peak came and mentioned that Senior Sword Serpent had spoken of you."
"Old Sword Serpent? I guess he ran out of True Sword Essence to drink?"
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
Before leaving, he had specifically prepared a substantial amount of True Sword Essence for Sword Serpent.
But the time he spent away exceeded his expectations, and even with rationing, the essence had lasted this long.
However, if he had followed his usual pace, or even drank freely due to the abundant supply of True Sword Essence, he might be in a tight spot by now.
"My apologies, I took the Void Dwelling Immortal Vine from Senior Sword Serpent, yet I can't even guarantee a continuous supply of True Sword Essence."
Lu Xuan felt a twinge of guilt.
"After cultivating the cave mansion's Spirit Plants, I'll pay him a proper visit."
He thought to himself and turned to the white ape.
"Last time before I left, you said you missed the Wind Falcon and the Cloud Striding Lynx, right? This time, I brought them back to the Sword Sect."
"Eh? My little buddies are here too?"
The white ape's face lit up with surprise at the news, rubbing his fists together in anticipation.
"Yep, they're all here, along with a few other Spirit Beasts."
Lu Xuan scanned with his spiritual sense and arrived at a spacious empty area.
With a thought, the plump bird sat on the ground like a small mountain, causing the surrounding rocks to tremble.
"Roar!"
Then, the Cloud Striding Lynx's familiar low growl, rough yet carrying a hint of sharpness, echoed.
As the breeze blew, the Wind Listening Beast, Thunder Dragon Hellhound, and Blue Mountain Unicorn appeared one after another.
"What's this?"
The white ape was momentarily stunned.
The plump bird before him was vastly different from what he remembered! The Wind Falcon he recalled was small, with a round belly and an adorable appearance, looking like an easy target for bullying.
But what was this fat bird now?
The white ape sensed the bird's aura, nearly equal to his own, and even suspected that it could crush him with a single sit.
"Holy shit! Where did you get this fat bird?"
He couldn't help but shout.
