Chapter 1042: The Powerful Sword Sect
Chapter 1042: The Powerful Sword Sect
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Uncle. I'll make sure to gather information about breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage." Lu Xuan nodded lightly.
"But I've just reached the peak of Core Formation, and it'll take a long time before I can attempt to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. There's no need to be too anxious."
"As for the Sword Talismans and Spirit Brew, I'll make sure to provide them to the Sword Peak regularly, and it won't be delayed because of this."
"You're very considerate, Junior Apprentice Lu. Just make sure to maintain a good balance," Yuan Rong said with emotion, feeling relieved that Lu Xuan was considering the interests of the True Sword Peak.
After clearing her Sword Seal, she left with the Sword Talismans and Spirit Brew.
Lu Xuan's casual revelation of his cultivation level soon spread among the members of the Sword Peak, and countless people came to congratulate him.
It was common knowledge that there was a huge gap between the Core Formation and Nascent Soul stages. If Lu Xuan successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, with his expertise in spirit herbs and spirit brew, he would truly be like a tiger with wings, easily becoming one of the top leaders in the Sword Sect.
Inside the cave mansion.
Ge Pu and Huo Lin Er sat in the courtyard, overlooking the sea of sword energy below.
"Junior Apprentice Lu, your cultivation speed is truly astonishing," Huo Lin Er said, setting down her white jade wine cup with emotion.
"That's right. When we first met in the Heavenly Sword Sect, you helped me with the Yin-Yang Kun Fish's gestation issue, and I even called you Senior Uncle. I never expected that not only would your cultivation surpass mine, but in ten or even a few decades, I might have to call you Senior Uncle," Ge Pu echoed with emotion.
"You're too kind, Senior Apprentices. I'm just lucky, and I don't have to worry about other matters," Lu Xuan said modestly.
"Take Senior Apprentice Ge and Senior Apprentice Huo, for example. Besides cultivation, they also need to spend a lot of time on various divine abilities and mystic techniques, often exploring secret realms, fighting life and death battles against demonic beasts and malevolent souls, honing their combat experience, and seeking opportunities and treasures."
"As for me, since I've decided to enjoy the protection of the Sword Sect and will likely spend the rest of my life here, I don't need to worry about those things."
Lu Xuan spoke slowly.
Since his cultivation level could no longer be hidden, he could only create the image of a spirit herb master who was not skilled in combat.
Whether it was the divine abilities and mystic techniques he possessed or high-level treasures, he would not easily reveal them to outsiders, especially in front of his fellow sect members.
"It's good that you have such an idea, Junior Apprentice," Ge Pu said.
"If you can reach the Nascent Soul stage, you'll have a lifespan of a thousand years. Even if you can't defeat cultivators of the same level, with your spirit energy, dealing with those below your cultivation level is not a problem."
"Moreover, choosing to stay in the Sword Sect is not a bad decision. Countless Nascent Soul True Monarchs have perished in their pursuit of the Dao. Many have died at the hands of fellow cultivators, demonic beasts, or powerful seals."
"Very few are able to live to their natural lifespan, so your decision is an extremely wise choice," Huo Lin Er agreed.
"Haha, don't think too far ahead. It's as if you're saying that breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is as easy as drinking water for me," Lu Xuan laughed heartily.
"I have a premonition that Junior Apprentice Lu will definitely advance to the Nascent Soul stage," Ge Pu said solemnly.
The junior apprentice before them had already created too many miracles.
With his exceptional expertise in spirit herbs, he had risen from an outer sect disciple in the Heavenly Sword Sect to his current level, a rare feat in the entire cultivation world.
"There's no need to worry about that."
"Not to mention that True Sword Master will do everything in his power to help you reach the Nascent Soul stage."
"You should know that your performance is closely tied to the rankings in the future Sword Peak competitions."
Huo Lin Er spoke with a hint of envy, admiring Lu Xuan's status in the True Sword Peak.
Lu Xuan's situation cannot be replicated, and we should strive to be self-reliant."
Ge Pu spoke with a gentle tone.
"That makes sense. Although Lu Shixi has successfully formed his Nascent Soul, he is just a hair's breadth away from the Primordial Spirit stage. But we are not far off either."
"Who knows who will be calling whom 'Senior Uncle' in the future!"
Huo Lin Er spoke with determination.
As he looked up, he met Ge Pu's meaningful gaze, his black and white pupils filled with depth, and his momentum instantly vanished.
Among the three of them, Lu Shixi was the latest to break through to the Core Formation stage, having done so in less than a decade. He truly lacked the confidence to make such a statement.
Lu Xuan, standing nearby, smiled but remained silent.
"I've had a recent epiphany and plan to enter seclusion for a while to attempt a breakthrough to the late-stage Core Formation."
Ge Pu's expression turned solemn as he spoke in a deep voice.
"I heard that an unknown Cave Heaven has appeared in the depths of the void, and the sect intends to bring it under its control. I plan to go there with Senior Uncle and fellow disciples to conquer it."
Huo Lin Er also shared his recent plans.
"An unknown Cave Heaven? What's the story behind it?"
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
"It's said that a cultivator from a nearby plane discovered it by accident while exploring. It seems to be an ancient battlefield with many remnants left behind, making it highly valuable for exploration. The sect has decided to claim it as its own."
"Led by the Purple Heaven Sword Master, the Nine Great Sword Peaks will also dispatch numerous Primordial Spirit Cultivators. They are currently gathering and organizing the sect's Core Formation and Foundation Establishment disciples."
Huo Lin Er spoke softly.
"What are the thoughts of the sects near the Cave Heaven? Logically, they discovered the unknown Cave Heaven first and have invested a lot of manpower and resources. They have every right to stop other forces from entering."
Lu Xuan refilled the cups with Green Dewdrop for the two of them.
"Hmph! What right do they have? Just because they discovered the unknown Cave Heaven? It's their fault for being so incompetent."
Huo Lin Er scoffed.
"The Cave Heaven is filled with Demonic Beasts and Malevolent Souls. If they are released, it will cause irreversible damage to the entire cultivation world."
"If they couldn't resolve it after so long, then it's up to our Cave Profound Sword Sect to step in and restore order."
Huo Lin Er spoke with righteous indignation.
"That's right. We must uphold the justice of our Sword Sect."
Lu Xuan chuckled in agreement, feeling not the slightest bit of aversion to the Sword Sect's dominant behavior; instead, he felt a sense of security.
"That unknown Cave Heaven is just a bit closer to those few sects, but they don't have jurisdiction over that plane."
"Our Sword Sect is a colossal existence, and it's understandable if our sect's territory expands by a bit."
Ge Pu casually remarked.
"Hahaha, Brother Ge is right."
"Truth lies only within the reach of our flying swords. The Sword Sect is merely reclaiming what belongs to us."
"Cheers!"
The three of them raised their cups together.
"Lu Shixi, are you interested in exploring that unknown Cave Heaven?"
"With the Purple Heaven Sword Master and numerous Primordial Spirit True Monarchs there, safety shouldn't be an issue."
"More importantly, less than ten percent of the Cave Heaven has been explored, and there must be countless rare treasures within. If we're lucky enough to obtain one, our strength will surely increase significantly."
Huo Lin Er asked curiously.
"I'm interested, but I currently have a lot of matters to attend to on the Sword Peak and can't get away."
Lu Xuan sighed helplessly, finding an excuse to politely decline.
"I'll wait for news from you and the other fellow disciples within the Sword Sect."
"After we completely claim that unknown Cave Heaven as our own, if I have time, I'll go and broaden my horizons."
