Chapter 1190: An Explanation for the Sword Sect
"After nurturing the Celestial Thunder for so many years, absorbing over a hundred Evil Exorcism Thunders and treasures like Yin Wood Green Thunder Essence, although it hasn't reached the Eighth Stage, it's more than sufficient for early warning and protection."
Faint Golden Lightning enveloped Lu Xuan's body.
He expanded his divine sense, keeping a close eye on his surroundings.
The reason for his visit to Zhang Jingxian was not to fight with all his might against the demonic spirit, but to buy time and distract the demonic spirit so that Zhang Jingxian could hold out until the Sword Sect's Divine Transformation Ancestor's clone arrived.
Therefore, he already had a plan.
"I'll focus on harassing the demonic spirit to distract it and prevent it from fully concentrating on Zhang Daoist."
"Of course, this is also the limit of what an Early Nascent Soul Stage cultivator can do."
"Moreover, I'm also a Spirit Planter."
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
Among the several divine abilities he mastered, he had invested the most time and effort into Minor Teleportation, making it the most proficient. Therefore, after the demonic spirit was held back by the Late-stage Nascent Soul Zhang Jingxian, he was confident in distracting it for a while.
"When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy retreats, I advance."
He attentively observed the situation on the battlefield, seizing every fleeting opportunity. He either attacked the demonic spirit with the Heavenly Star Sword Array or tried his best to help Zhang Jingxian out of his predicament.
As soon as he noticed the demonic spirit's intention to target him, he immediately used his spatial ability to escape the battle.
With his mysterious spatial ability, the demonic spirit found it extremely difficult to swiftly eliminate Lu Xuan with its thunder techniques.
This Early Nascent Soul Stage cultivator was like a buzzing fly, constantly annoying yet impossible to swat, leaving the demonic spirit frustrated.
Outside the Sacred Grove Sanctuary.
A radiant beam seemed to weave through the void, instantly crossing tens of thousands of miles and landing outside a world.
"Ancient Daoist, why did you come directly to our Divine Timber Sect's Heavenly Cavern?"
"Such rudeness, are you trying to provoke a conflict between our sects?"
A faint green light lit up, and a gentle female figure silently appeared.
Numerous spirits danced around the woman, exuding a natural aura.
"Wood Daoist, Ancient Daoist, I have something to ask you."
A towering shadow of Ancient Yang Zhen appeared, his vague face showing a hint of anger.
The gentle woman before him was the only Divine Transformation cultivator in the Divine Timber Sect. As soon as he approached the Sacred Grove Sanctuary, he had drawn her attention.
He had intended to directly break through the restriction and enter to rescue Lu Xuan, but with her arrival, things would be easier.
"What do you mean, Ancient Daoist?"
The Ancient Yang Zhen before her was just a clone, but the reputation of the Dao Profound Sword Sect resonated throughout the cultivation world. The pressure brought by this clone made the gentle woman feel extremely apprehensive.
"A Yuanling Cultivator named Lu Xuan from the Sword Sect was invited by your sect to resolve the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Trees issue."
"When he left the Sword Sect, I left a Duplicate Spirit Puppet for him. If he ever found himself in a critical situation, he could activate the puppet to summon me for help."
"But I never expected that the puppet would be activated within your sect's Heavenly Cavern, seeking my assistance."
"Is this your sect's way of treating guests?"
Ancient Yang Zhen aggressively questioned her.
"There must be some misunderstanding here."
The woman's thoughts flashed.
After understanding the situation, she immediately sensed something amiss.
Then, a highly spiritual spirit beast flew out from her body, transforming into countless green lights that merged into the void.
"Indeed, something major has happened inside the Heavenly Cavern."
She made a quick decision, disregarding Ancient Yang Zhen's status as a Dao Profound Sword Sect cultivator, and brought his clone into the Sacred Grove Sanctuary.
Inside the Emerald Realm.
Lu Xuan continued to control the Heavenly Star Sword Array, occasionally demonstrating profound sword techniques as part of his distraction strategy.
"If the Ancestor doesn't possess my body soon, I'll have to use more of my treasures and abilities."
Although the Minor Teleportation technique was highly effective, it also consumed a significant amount of Mana. Lu Xuan contemplated whether to reveal more of his hidden strengths.
"The Five Fire Seven Birds Fan was used once, but that was during a battle, and this Emerald Realm has a strong isolating effect on Divine Sense. They shouldn't have noticed."
As Lu Xuan was about to retrieve the Divine Feather Fan, his Divine Sense detected something, and he looked up.
In the Emerald Realm, strange flowers and grasses sprouted and grew rapidly, tearing open thick cracks in the space.
Two figures flashed into the realm.
The exquisite doll tied at Lu Xuan's waist suddenly moved, and his eyes instantly cleared. The soft sword at his waist leaped into his hand, and a terrifying aura rapidly climbed.
A streak of green light suddenly shot out, like a meteor streaking through the void.
Within the Emerald Realm, all light seemed to be absorbed by the green light, leaving only a sword glow filled with the essence of slaughter and destruction.
The sword light swiftly approached, slicing the hundred-zhang-tall dark green figure in half. Green light rained down, illuminating Lu Xuan and his companions, their faces alternating between light and shadow.
"I'm sorry I'm late, Lu Shidi."
The small doll floated in front of Lu Xuan, with a small sword pointing downward, and a gentle voice spoke into Lu Xuan's ear.
"Your disciple greets you, Senior Gu."
Lu Xuan suppressed his shock and bowed respectfully to the Jian Tong doll.
What a stunning sword strike.
With a single swing, the world paled, and the demonic spirit that had been suppressing Zhang Jingxian and the others was effortlessly vanquished.
"Are you injured, Shidi?"
The doll asked in a deep voice.
"No, thanks to Senior Gu's timely arrival, or else..."
Lu Xuan shook his head.
"Divine Timber Sect's Zhang Jingxian pays his respects to the Senior!"
Zhang Jingxian flew over and bowed deeply.
The doll's gaze swept over, and despite its small stature, it exuded an air of contempt for all.
He was extremely dissatisfied with Lu Xuan's recent visit to the Divine Timber Sect, so he completely ignored Zhang Jingxian's greeting.
Zhang Jingxian knew he was at fault and, sensing the Divine Transformation Ancestor's aura from his sect, he couldn't tell if he was happy or sad. He flew over to the gentle woman.
After the gentle woman broke the restriction on the Emerald Realm, Lin Jiangyuan and Jiang Hengbai's figures appeared.
Both were in poor condition; Lin Jiangyuan's aura was unstable, and he looked disheveled, while Jiang Hengbai's face was as white as paper. He frantically consumed Qi and Blood Pills to replenish his energy, likely having exhausted his essence to perform some secret technique.
"Lu Xiao, are you well?"
The green light lit up, and the gentle woman appeared before Lu Xuan, asking with concern.
"Thanks to the Senior's care, I'm unharmed."
Lu Xuan quickly bowed.
He had learned of the woman's identity from his Duplicate Spirit Puppet and thus behaved with utmost respect.
"Wood Daoist, things have come to this, and some things need to be said."
The Jian Tong doll walked forward with his hands behind his back.
"Although Lu Shidi is only at the Early Nascent Soul Stage, he has made a significant contribution to the Sword Sect and holds a transcendent position within it. I'm sure you're aware of this."
The gentle woman nodded slightly.
The fact that Lu Xuan could have a Duplicate Spirit Puppet as a protective treasure from a Divine Transformation Ancestor must mean he had something unique to offer.
"Regardless, your sect must provide an explanation to the Sword Sect."
"Or else, if word gets out, outsiders will think our Sword Sect is easy to bully."
The Jian Tong doll spoke solemnly.
Lu Xuan lowered his head, struggling to contain the smile tugging at his lips.
This Duplicate Spirit Puppet of the Divine Transformation Ancestor had been saying one thing all along:
More money is needed!
