Lu Xuan sighed softly, a White Jade Array Plate appearing in his hand.
With a thought, the Array Patterns on the Plate shifted, and the Thousand Barrier Xuan Crystal Array outside his cave abode altered accordingly.
At the outermost part of the formation, three transparent demon insects fluttered their wings at high speed, passing through a series of extremely cold ice mountains.
The transparent demon insects seemed to have an extraordinary intuition about the flow of Spiritual Power, always able to find the weakest spots in the formation and make difficult advances.
Suddenly, the ice mountains changed.
One after another, the mountains shifted, and cold air pervaded the entire heaven and earth, significantly slowing the speed of the three transparent demon insects.
Gentle snowflakes seemed as light as nothingness, slowly falling, and a barely visible layer of frost began to form on the bodies of the transparent demon insects.
By the time the demon insects noticed, it was already too late. Two of the demon insects fell stiffly, crashing into the ice mountains and shattering into countless icy fragments.
The remaining one, dragging its body which was about to be frozen stiff, painfully left the Thousand Barrier Xuan Crystal Array.
This was, of course, Lu Xuan’s deliberate doing, leaving behind a single demon insect with the aim of finding the “Cultivator” behind the scenes.Recently, many “Cultivators” had been spying on his cave abode, and although he was displeased, he could still reluctantly accept it.
But attempts to break into the cave abode were absolutely unacceptable to him.
The demon insect’s escape was incredibly fast; even though it was gravely injured, it still maintained a terrifying speed as it flew to a certain location.
Yet its every move was observed by a pair of grayish-white pupils in the high sky.
The huge pupil appeared now and then high above, closely following the transparent demon insect.
Just a bit over twenty li away from the cave abode, two Golden Core Intermediate Cultivators, using a formation, were hidden in a sky full of fine thunder sparks.
Suddenly, a sorrowful paleness appeared on the face of one of the burly young men.
“Wang Fellow Daoist, how are things? Could it be that your Spirit Bug has encountered some mishap?”
Seeing this, a middle-aged “Cultivator” quickly asked.
“Two of them died,”
the burly young man said with a somber expression.
Those three demon insects were connected to his mind, and their destruction also damaged his spirit.
“The formation outside that Spirit Plant Scholar’s Cave Abode is that terrifying? To think it easily destroyed your Spirit Bugs,”
the middle-aged “Cultivator” said, quite surprised.
The two had partnered up to explore secret lands many times before, so he was very aware of the strength of his friend’s Spirit Bugs.
The Spirit Bugs possessed an extremely strong ability to hide, making them difficult for ordinary Golden Core Cultivators to detect, and they moves extremely fast. With their extraordinary intuition for Prohibitions and Restrictions, even without much combat power, their importance exceeded that of other treasures.
Unexpectedly, a Spirit Bug that was harmed by no restrictions in the secret lands was destroyed by the great formation outside the Spirit Plant Scholar’s Cave Abode.
“It was merely taking advantage of the formation,”
“He’s just a Spirit Plant Master; the fact that he could cultivate to his current level was already lucky. Just by strength alone, either of us could handle him,”
“Once we break through that big turtle shell outside his cave, everything inside will be easily solved, and the Seventh Grade Spirit Seed will naturally become our possession,”
the middle-aged “Cultivator” said slowly.
“I always feel something’s not quite right,”
the burly young man made a slight, sharp noise with his mouth, as the demon insect with some frost still clinging to its body came to the outside of their formation.
He gently stretched out his hand, and immediately, the transparent demon insect landed in his hand, its shallow layer of frost melted by the strong vitality in his blood.
The young man’s Spiritual Sense swept around repeatedly, yet he still couldn’t detect any anomalies.
“Being able to get one back is already good,”
the middle-aged “Cultivator” said, trying to reassure him.
“That Spirit Plant Master can’t possibly keep hiding within the great Formation forever. As soon as he appears, we can completely take control of him,”
a look of ferocity flashed in the eyes of the burly young man,
Suddenly, a light crack sounded in the Formation that enveloped the two of them, causing thick, long cracks to appear in the Spiritual Energy Shield.
“This is bad!”
The same thought flashed through the minds of both of them simultaneously.
Before they could react, invisible Sword Qi filled the area around them, changing unpredictably and mysteriously, making it impossible to guard against.
Even a Fifth Grade Protective Artifact was easily penetrated by the countless invisible Sword Qi.
In an instant, countless Sword Qi swept towards them like tidal waves, each strand filled with endless murderous intent, making the two feel as though they were on an ancient battlefield.
In that battlefield, where killing intent was chilling, it was like a meat grinder, turning each living being inside into minced meat.
Under such a fierce onslaught of Sword Qi, the two Jindan Cultivators experienced a moment of disbalance.
In just that brief moment, the two were caught off guard by two Upper Class Flying Swords and their corresponding sword techniques.
“Were the two fellow Daoists really looking for me?”
A light laugh resonated by their ears, and then, a figure flashed by like lightning. Accompanied by a crisp phoenix cry, a phoenix phantom burst forth from a sea of flames, and under immense oppression, a crystal-clear, jade-like palm pierced directly through the burly Cultivator’s chest.
The other middle-aged Cultivator was greatly shocked and threw out dozens of High-Grade Talismans at once, then immediately used a secret technique to escape.
He had flown less than a hundred feet when a dark green thunderbolt, like a long snake, followed behind him, faster, and struck the Cultivator’s head in a few moments, completely obliterating the Divine Soul attempting to escape within.
“Two Golden Core Intermediate Cultivators seem a bit fragile,”
Lu Xuan remarked internally after easily eliminating two Golden Core Intermediate Cultivators, which gave him a more direct sense of his own current strength.
“Two Five-grade Sword Grasses along with their corresponding sword techniques are extremely rare and valuable treasures, stronger than most Fifth Grade Flying Swords.”
“Additionally, my flesh body’s strength is comparable to a Low-grade Magic Treasure, nourished by Seventh Grade Glazed Red Phoenix Bone, Sixth Grade Five Viscera Cultivation Temple, Tai Sui’s meat, and other treasures. Just relying on my flesh body should have been enough to deal with the two of them.”
“Lastly, there is the Thunder Attribute Secret Technique recorded in “Divine Cloud True Law”.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but comment to himself.
Being included in “Divine Cloud True Law”, that dark thunder naturally possessed extraordinary characteristics, activating silently and seamlessly, best suited for the current scenario.
It also caused severe damage to the Cultivator’s Divine Soul, capable of dispersing it instantly.
“It’s a pity about that soul,”
“I can only use the flesh and blood of these two Golden Core Cultivators as fertilizer now,”
Lu Xuan thought somewhat regretfully.
His Spiritual Sense swept around, and after confirming that no Cultivators had noticed the disturbance here, he quickly returned to his Cave Abode with the two corpses.
“It seems your fate was sealed.”
“It’s normal to have some ideas about the Seventh Grade Spirit Seed, but to try and put those ideas into action crosses my tolerance limit.”
“Moreover, since you wanted to break into the Cave Abode, it means you intended to harm me, keeping you would only be a disaster. It’s better to use you as fertilizer for the Evil Strange Spirit Field, utilizing waste.”
“However, being spied on constantly is never pleasant; I still need to resolve this problem,”
Lu Xuan thought secretly to himself.
As for how to resolve it, that would have to rely on the guardians of the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave.
“Either harbor no thoughts towards the Seventh Grade Spirit Seed, or just make a decisive move and come straight in to be used as fertilizer,”
“Hesitating outside the Cave Abode, coming and going, will only affect my mood,”
“Such marginal behavior should be reported.”
