Chapter 3752: Within the Barrier
and forbearance, if he were given enough opportunities, it wouldn't be surprising for him to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. However, his actual strength reaching this level is truly remarkable....Ao Zhan's face was filled with disappointment, but alchemy wasn't like fighting. It wasn't something he could accomplish simply by wanting it, nor could it be solved with brute force.
In fact, Lu Xiaotian wasn't bluffing when he said the recipe was profound. It truly was incredibly intricate. Back when he first returned to Jiuyang City, his chances of successfully refining this pill were less than 10%. Even now, Lu Xiaotian's odds of success weren't high. It wasn't easy for the other party to obtain the celestial materials needed for the pill. However, finding someone with a high enough level to refine it seemed limited. After all, fourth-rank Pill Saints were either individuals like the Hua Dao Ren who were already Jinxian beings, or they were under the strict protection of major heavens or powerful forces.
Without a relatively trustworthy person, the Luo Hu avatar behind Ao Zhan and the majority of the Qinling Emperor would hardly readily hand over such a celestial material to others. As for the Luo Hu avatar, Lu Xia Tian still had some roots in the Spirit Realm, but most of them had already left. The Luo Hu avatar was also uncertain whether he could still completely threaten Lu Xia Tian with this. For Lu Xia Tian at this time, the Luo Hu avatar, or even the Qinling Emperor, were ultimately still somewhat wary of him.
On the other hand, Lu Xiaotien also didn't quite understand what Qinling Emperor and the Rahu avatar were planning. With the war in Luo'ang Prison settled, the demon army had been driven back into Luo'ang Prison hundreds of years ago. After accumulating over a thousand years, Lu Xiaotien's cultivation was much deeper than before, and his understanding of the Dao realm had also deepened. However, before reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm, Lu Xiaotien didn't want to get involved in other troubles lightly.
Recently, Lu Xiaoteng has been using the Yukong Mirror's projection technique to try and go back to the Demon Realm to find Luo Qing. After several failed attempts, he had to recover his injuries again. Lu Xiaoteng didn't dare to try again easily. After all, projecting across dimensions was still too difficult for him right now.
The conflict in Luoyang Prison has subsided somewhat. After a prolonged battle on the Tianshang Barren Land, both sides have finally called a truce. This is not because they are no longer able to fight, but rather due to escalating tensions between the East Sea Dragon Palace and the South Sea Dragon Palace. The continuous wars have diverted much of the attention of the Honghao Heavenly Court, resulting in significant losses on the side of the East Sea Dragon Palace. While the Tianshang Barren Land poses a considerable threat to the Honghao Heavenly Court, it pales in comparison to the threat posed by the South Sea Dragon Palace controlled by the Yu Xuan Heavenly Court.
The Hong Hao Celestial Court was already weaker than the Yu Xuan Celestial Court, and there was no way to fight on multiple fronts. Previously, Lu Xia Tian had heard some reports from the front lines to Jiuyang City about the war, mentioning that a cultivator with astonishing talent appeared on the Tiansang Wasteland. He had an overwhelming aura, and his recovery ability was incredible. Although he hadn't yet ascended to the rank of Xuanxian, his effectiveness on the battlefield far surpassed that of ordinary Xuanxian. With the support of battle formations, even Xuanxian found it difficult to subdue him easily. Many True Immortals from the Hong Hao Celestial Court had fallen into his hands.
And this person was not an ordinary Sangling clan member, nor a Chihu clan member. There's no need to introduce these people in detail. Just hearing about some of his fighting characteristics when he fought with spells and techniques, Lu Xiaoteng knew this person was undoubtedly Xiong Ye. After staying on the Tiansang wasteland, this guy also began to stand out.
As for Mo Yu'yan, Lu Xia Tian had seen her once in Jiuyang City from afar, but Lu Xia Tian did not approach her. He was somewhat known in Jiuyang City, so it wouldn't have been difficult for Mo Yu'yan to find him. Since she didn't, it meant she had her own plans. Lu Xia Tian didn't meet up with her either.
Back at his own cultivation site, entering the Qingguo barrier, this Qingguo barrier was now towering ancient trees, with beasts running rampant and birds chirping. Over these thousands of years, Lu Xia Tian secretly transferred some flying creatures, beasts, snakes, birds, frogs, insects, etc., into the Qingguo barrier.
With the addition of these diverse and numerous demonic birds and beasts, the Qingguo barrier at this time became more vibrant than ever before. And the growth speed of the original immortal crystal veins also accelerated.
Afterward, Lu Xia Tian imitated the formation of the original Immortal Crystal vein and placed varying quantities of Immortal Crystals in other continents. He thus created several smaller-scale Immortal Crystal veins as well.
Lu Xia Tian swept across the sky above a patch of land. The wolf riders on it were training formations as usual.
"Master!" Xuan Jing and Dushan saw Lu Xia Tian's figure suspended in mid-air, like a human immortal, and bowed to him.
Prior to that, they were kidnapped by Lu XiaTian into the Qingguo Realm. Later, after Lu XiaTian refined the totem power of the XiaoYue Wolf Clan and cultivated the Dragon-Wolf Totem based on his own Dragon Clan foundation, the Dragon-Wolf Totem power allowed Xuanjing, Dushan, and other wolf riders to have a considerable degree of recognition for Lu XiaTian.
...after they had witnessed with their own eyes Lu Xia Tian gathering the boundless power of thunder in the void, transforming it into an axe to cleave this chaotic space, opening up enough land for them to survive, they finally had this better place to live.
The Howling Moon Wolf Clan venerates the strong, and Lu Xiaofeng's actions appeared to them like miracles. Especially within this Qingguo barrier, newly born Howling Moon Wolves, much like the Yestone Clan before them, held Lu Xiaofeng in absolute reverence. These newborn wolves had no direct memories of the Demon Realm; all they knew was witnessing Lu Xiaofeng creating the world from nothing as a child.
Lu Xiaotian discovered that although this part of the wolf tribe's realm was relatively low, the power of the dragon and wolf totem they condensed was purer. Under the same power of the dragon and wolf totem, Lu Xiaotian could now exert greater power.
In the Howling Moon Wolf Clan, over the past millennia, several more Xian wolves have ascended to the ranks of Xuanxian. Among the current six hundred or so wolf riders, there are now nine Xuanxian-level wolf men, and over one hundred eighty True Immortal-level wolf riders. The power of the dragon-wolf totem condensed is several times stronger than before. Because of this, Lu Xiaocen became increasingly hesitant to use it easily, even his jade Ruyi given to him by Chen Tian, Lu Xiaocen was unsure if he could still suppress the uncontrolled power of the dragon-wolf totem twice more.
Besides, Xiang Hua, Qing Ming, Xiao Bai Mang and others have all made significant progress in their cultivation. Qin Meng, the original True Immortal, has also ascended to the Xuanxian realm.
Another great gain was that after spending so many years in the Qingguo Realm, Ying Xuan Ming, Ying Xuan Que, Ying Xuan He, and Ying Xuan Ling, four dragons from the Nanhai Dragon Palace, as well as the two dragon turtles, had completely let go of their initial reservations and integrated into the present-day Qingguo Realm. The Black Dragon Dragon Pearl imparted all it had learned to these celestial-level dragon clans, while the cultivation methods of Ao Guang, Tuo Mu Sheng, Ying Xuan Ming, and others gave the Black Dragon great inspiration.
The dragons led by Ying Xuanming and others enjoyed unprecedented freedom within the Qingguo barrier. One could say that the only drawback was that it felt a bit too desolate.demonic beast, even in this situation, it could still escape with its life. Its methods were truly extraordinary.The confrontation was inherently asymmetrical, with Lu Xia Tian already aware of his op...
