Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

Cuihu Manor, training ground.

Lin Xiu hid behind a extremely hard artificial mountain.

He casually threw a tattered shield on the ground, rendering it useless.

His Purple Cloud Sect robe was relatively intact, but it had a few tears at the hem.

He wiped off his sweat.

"That was close! Luckily, I am also a martial artist and have reached the level of Copper Skin. Otherwise, my dear wife might have poked a few holes in me!"

He took out another shield, a collection from either Lin He or the Endless Pleasure Sect, and looked towards the direction of the training ground.

Li Yingxue was suspended three feet above the ground, cross-legged in front of a giant rock covered in sword marks. Her hair and robe fluttered without any wind.

The white giant sword made of sword energy enveloped her body, connecting heaven and earth.

Enlightenment!

Accompanying Lin Xiu, Li Yingxue unexpectedly achieved enlightenment just by looking at the broken rock!

Initially, she stood in front of the stone, and endless sword energy burst out from her body. Not only did it create a deep pit in the blue stone ground, but Lin Xiu almost got hit as well.

Thanks to his quick reflexes, he dodged behind the artificial mountain with a single step.

However, there shouldn't be any danger at the moment.

The chaotic and fierce sword energy had converged into the current pillar of light, and there were no more uncontrollable small swords coming to attack him.

Such a grand display would definitely not go unnoticed by the people of the Bishui Lu family. Moreover, the soundproofing talismans, ice shields, and concealment talismans that he threw out were all shredded to pieces by the giant sword before they could reach Li Yingxue. They were completely useless.

Wen Renqing pushed open the window on the second floor and looked at the imposing sword energy, covering her mouth in astonishment.

"Foundation Building stage! How can I compete for the position of the legitimate wife in the future?"

This thought flashed through her mind, and she immediately jumped down from the second floor and rushed to Lin Xiu's side. The Xiao Xing artifact had already appeared in her hand.

Regardless, she was already Lin Xiu's Dao companion, and although she had the desire to compete for favor, she was clear-headed when it came to important matters.

Once Li Yingxue reached the Foundation Building stage, she would be almost invincible below the Gold Core stage. She was their highest combat power and guarantee.

Lin Xiu was slightly surprised by Wen Renqing's behavior.

This woman was too scheming and liked to compete for favor. He had always been on guard against her.

However, when he saw her nervous appearance protecting Li Yingxue, that suspicion inexplicably disappeared.

Lin Xiu waved his hand, and dozens of mist talismans surrounded the training ground, forming a faint mist.

At the same time, he released dozens of strands of mist from the "Rotting Bone Spirit" hidden in the mist as a precaution.

The Lu family currently only had one Gold Core expert. As long as they dared to charge in, Lin Xiu still had some confidence in protecting his dear wife.

At this moment, Lu Xun had already led ten Foundation Building stage island owners to the manor.

"Foundation Building stage! Martial Marquis stage!"

Lu Xun looked at the faint figure in the mist and couldn't calm down for a long time.

A thousand years ago, the Lu family also produced a martial genius.

At the age of one hundred, he reached the Martial Marquis stage. Fifty years later, he achieved the Martial King stage. With a jade-green sword, he swept through several medium-sized families in the surrounding area, ensuring the peace of the Falling Star Lake for two hundred years.

As for the woman below, even though she was protected by sword energy, he could still sense the vigorous vitality in Li Yingxue's body. She was probably not even thirty years old!

"What a monstrous talent in martial arts!"

Thinking of this, he smiled kindly at Lin Xiu, who was on guard outside the mist.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, there's no need to be nervous. Madam is about to break through, and I naturally won't disturb her. I will also send an outstanding member of our clan to protect her. Would you like to come to my residence?"

Lin Xiu shook his head as expected.

No way.

If he left, what if this old man started causing trouble?

Lu Xun nodded, knowing that what he had just said was not convincing.

"In the records, it is said that the martial arts ancestor of the Lu family broke through the Martial Marquis realm in half a month. I promise not to step into the estate during this half month. After Lady Lin breaks through, I will come and disturb again!"

After speaking, he flicked his sleeve and left with his people.

Lin Xiu blinked, not understanding.

"My dear, analyze for me. It's one thing for Lu Baitian to have a request for me, but why is this Gold Core cultivator also so polite? Is it just because of the simplicity of the Purple Cloud Sect?"

This was the first time he affectionately called Wen Renqing, and she inexplicably felt a hint of sweetness in her heart.

If Lin Xiu were to look at the panel at this moment, he would find that his favorability had jumped from 35 to 51, surpassing the safety line.

Wen Renqing looked at the direction where the other party had disappeared and suddenly smiled.

"It seems that not only does Lu Baitian have a request for my husband, but I'm afraid the entire Lu family of Bishui also has a request for you, or rather, Vermilion Bird Mountain!"

Lin Xiu stumbled.

I'm just a fake!

What has happened to the Lu family?

Li Yingxue is currently at a critical breakthrough, so he naturally cannot leave.

But his identity could be exposed at any time. Can he only resign himself to fate and wait for death?

He began to search his mind, checking what other cards he had to deal with the possible situations that could arise at any moment.

Seven days later, by the Falling Star Lake.

Two people arrived at the place where Lin Xiu had once stopped.

One person had her face covered by a light veil, dressed in a light blue palace gown, with a dignified and gentle demeanor.

The other woman wore a chest-wrapped goose yellow gauze dress, with a foxy charm mixed with innocence. Her pair of big eyes flickered, extremely adorable.

Hu Meier glanced at the extinguished charcoal and fish bones on the shore, then looked towards the soaring sword aura in the distance.

"Sister Linglong, I didn't expect to see someone breaking through the Martial Marquis realm in this remote place. Should we go and cause some trouble to eliminate the threat of Great Xia to our demon country?"

Feng Linglong gave her a brain explosion gesture.

"Little Ninth, you have also made a heavenly oath. If you're not afraid of your cultivation being destroyed by heavenly thunder for a thousand years, then go!"

Hu Meier rubbed her little head in pain, and her four fluffy snow-white tails drooped down.

"Is the Ling Kingdom very powerful? It even forced you to make an oath!"

Feng Linglong reached out to give her another brain explosion gesture but stopped.

"You should read more in the future. You are the saint of the Four Great Demon Clans of Qingqiu, over a thousand years old, yet you still act like a child."

Then, she continued to gaze at the distant sword aura.

Leisurely, she said, "The Ling Kingdom was established by a powerful human cultivator named 'Nian' tens of thousands of years ago. According to the books, he single-handedly repelled countless ancient beasts that broke through from the Primordial World, protecting the peace and continuation of this world's creatures."

"This includes our demon clan. Therefore, whether it was human cultivators or our demon clan cultivators back then, in order to show gratitude for his kindness, they made an oath to never be enemies with the Ling Kingdom and to respect its emperors of each generation, willingly becoming its affiliates."

Hu Meier crossed her arms, "This Nian is so powerful. Is he already an immortal?"

Feng Linglong shook her head, "I don't know. It is said that he left after establishing the Ling Kingdom for a hundred years. I guess no one knows where he went except for the current emperor."

"So, what cultivation level is the current emperor, Soul Formation? Empty Void? Or Body Integration?"

Feng Linglong chuckled and shook her head, "I don't know. No one has seen the emperor make a move, and no one dares to make a move against the emperor!"

Hu Meier felt bored and started walking along the sandy beach by the lake, leaving rows of footprints.

"Lord Phoenix, we have already surveyed this area. Can we go back now? His Majesty the Demon Emperor is still waiting for you!"

But unexpectedly, Feng Linglong's previously solemn expression turned mischievous.

"We finally came out once, so we should take the opportunity to see the scenery of the human kingdom, right?"

Hu Meier immediately became excited, and her four tails swayed in the wind.

"Really? This place is close to the Flowing Wind County of Great Xia. Should we go there first?"

"Alright, and also hide your tails to avoid trouble!"

Before leaving, Feng Linglong glanced at the sword aura once again.

Suddenly, she had a premonition that she and the owner of this sword aura had some kind of connection and would eventually meet each other.
