âDonât get agitated, second uncle. As strong as the potential of connate spirit roots are, they require significant personal effort too,â Lu Yun smiled faintly. âHere, this is the Major Five Elements Demolition Godslayer Record. Itâs an impressive method even in the world of immortals. If youâre interested in becoming a sword immortal, second uncle, you can try practicing this method.â
Although the Severed Meridians Hold had been broken, Lu Xiaochi had still lost all of his cultivation. He was an ordinary person with the ponderous consciousness of a nascent soul cultivator. Everything had to be started anew.
âThe cultivation methods from the world of immortals!â Lu Xiaochi shook. His nephew had given him so many surprises that, despite being mentally prepared, he was still shocked.
âIs your master an immortal of the world of immortals instead of the world of cultivation?â he asked in a trembling voice.
âThe world of immortalsâŠâ Lu Yun frowned. The Major Five Elements Demolition Godslayer Record was a method that heâd obtained in his first reincarnation. Heâd found it in a secret locale in the world of immortals and rose to the top of the world with it.
But in his remaining reincarnations, he never took the ascent protocol to the world of immortals, despite becoming an immortal many times. He didnât even know where it was.
The world of immortals seemed to have become a legend in stories shared between cultivators.
The Mindful Immortal Potentate was a heavyweight in the world of immortals. His inheritance appearing in the Jade Ruins World of Immortal Cultivation is a sign that many things have gone wrong. Or have the gates to the world of immortals closed for some reason?
His mind flew rapidly through various possibilities as heâd dwelled in the world of immortals when it was at its most prosperous. Innumerable cultivators took the ascent protocol to the world. However, each of his reincarnations resulted in the memories of an individual personality that werenât connected to each other. Hence, he didnât have much to draw off of.
Had the disaster of his subconscious already begun?
Forget it, Iâm putting all of this out of my mind for now. Iâm just small fry at foundation establishment, what do the problems of the world of immortals have to do with me? Lu Yun shook his head with a smile.
Lu Xiaochi rubbed his noseâheâd asked one question. Why had that caused Lu Yun to frown in thought, then mumble to himself? He was growing ever more mystified by his nephew.
âI donât know the particulars about my master either. He sent my senior brother with a lot of things and had me take care of them myself,â Lu Yun quickly responded when he saw that his uncle had more questions. âSecond uncle, although your restrictionâs been broken, your spirit root is not very stable yet. Thereâs still plenty of medicine left in the Aureate Bird Cauldron. You should make good use of it and consolidate your spirit root. Iâm heading out now.â Lu Yun turned and left.
Being an energetic person, staying inside a small room for seven days had nearly suffocated Lu Yun.
Heâd just exited the secret vault when a terrifying explosion went off outside the Major Cycle Nebula Formation. The formation shook like a leaf.
âLu Xuan!â Lu Yun frowned and summoned his guard to him. âWhatâs going on?â
âItâs the Nineheavens Pagoda.â Rather wounded, Lu Xuan was unnaturally pale. âThey came three days ago and started attacking the formation. All guards that are golden core and above have entered the formation to support it.â Pausing, he added, âSenior Blood has not gone.â
In the entire residence, only Lu Yun could command Bloodbath. The old man wouldnât make a move even if the complex was breached and everyone slaughtered. Lu Xuan had suffered his injuries through the course of supporting the formation.
âRecover from your wounds first.â Lu Yun flicked a pill into Lu Xuanâs hands. âUncle He, open the formation!â
Standing in the center of the Major Cycle Nebula Formation, He Wuheng started when he heard the young masterâs voice. Thinking of Yuwen Zonglin and Ouyang Baitianâs ending, he quickly let the formation go.
Those outside stopped attacking when they saw the formation grind to a halt.
The Lu residence doors exploded in a shower of shards.
âHahahahaha!! How dare a puny Lu Clan stand in this young masterâs way? You seek death!â came an uncommonly cocky voice from the door. A handsome young man roughly the same age as Lu Yun walked through the broken doors. Clad in turquoise robes, he was followed by two dozen cultivators.
The weakest of the two dozen was nascent soul and the strongest was soul projection.
âLu Yun, get your ass out here! Weâre going to fight in single combat!â he bawled as soon as he entered.
âI wondered who it was, so itâs Sir Cloudexit. Itâs been three years since we last saw each other, has all been well?â Lu Yun immediately recognized the young man.
Sir Cloudexit, young lord of the Nineheavens Pagoda, had visited Darklake three years ago. Heâd bumped into Lu Yun and the two started fighting when the verbal exchange turned ugly. Although he was from the foremost sect of a fourth rank empire, Cloudexit himself was an utter bumpkin and less than Lu Yun of the time.
He suffered an enormous beating at Lu Yunâs hands, resulting in representatives from the Nineheavens Pagoda visiting a few days later and crippling Lu Xiaochi right in front of Lu Tianling.
This time, other cultivation empires had come after hearing news of a dao weapon appearing in Darklake. As the superior nation to its vassal, Dark Orchid would certainly send someone.
Sir Cloudexit had nursed a grudge ever since heâd suffered a beating three years ago. Revenge was constantly on his mind, so he would fully seize this chance now that itâd come by!
âHahaha, just in time, Lu Yun! Iâve already taken care of the trash that is Zhao Chenguang and Yu Shuai. Youâre the only one left!â Cloudexit roared with laughter when he saw Lu Yun and took a step forward, slamming his palm at Lu Yunâs chest.
âYouâve gone from third level qi refinement to golden core in three years. Looks like youâve been diligently cultivating these years!â Lu Yun swiftly retreated when the other advanced.

Cloudexit brayed with amusement to see Lu Yun back away and manifested a longsword in his hand. It exploded with radiance that reached nine meters long and crashed down on Lu Yunâs head.
Lu Yun frowned and quickly moved his feet, his body twisting and turning agilely to easily dodge the domineering sword light.
âSir Cloudexitâs cultivation is run-of-the-mill as his golden core level is just the result of pills and medicines. The longsword in his hand, however, is a lower spirit rank weapon!
âNiiiice, itâs mine!â Lu Yun beamed. He typically wouldnât want something like this, but he didnât have anything like it at the moment.
âHahaha, you didnât think that I would coalesce my golden core after only three years, did you now? Youâre just a foundation establishment, letâs see how youâll fight me!â Sir Cloudexit strutted proudly to see his old enemy on the receiving end of what heâd once suffered.
Meanwhile, those of the Nineheavens Pagoda suppressed eye rolls. What was there to be proud of when a golden core cultivator equipped with a lower spirit rank weapon beat a foundation establishment cultivator?
All this talk of fighting and enmity? Everyone knew that Lu Yun was unworthy to be Sir Cloudexitâs enemy!
It was the young lord of the greatest sect in a fourth rank empire on one side and the noble scion of a third rank empire on the other. The difference in their status was stark. It was as if the young lord of a rich merchant family had charged into the marketplace to match a successful vendor in a contest of wealth.
âHeh heh heh, if I could beat you as a dead dog three years ago, I will still beat you as a dead dog three years later!â Lu Yun cackled as he rapidly retreated.
âShut up, you little piece of shit!â Cloudexit flew into a rage.
âHmph, am I supposed to fight you just because you want me to fight? Your Nineheavens Pagoda bullied us through superior force three years ago and crippled my second uncle. Heâs a cripple even now, so who knows what you guys will do this time if I fight you again?!â Lu Yun complained loudly, the very picture of being cautious of the sect, but not thinking much of Cloudexit.
âItâs not up to you if we fight or not!â Cloudexit was a renowned prodigal of Dark Orchid. Tyrannical, egotistical, ludicrous, and lascivious. Lu Yunâs retort instantly stoked his temper.
âThen this young master will sit here and let you beat me! You have the strength in numbers, so itâs a dishonorable victory no matter what!â Lu Yun curled his lip and plopped on the ground, ready to let his opponent beat him however he wished.
That made Cloudexit pause. He wanted to grind Lu Yunâs face into the ground with his cultivation, but it meant nothing if the other didnât resist at all.
âYou over there, this is between me and Lu Yun! Donât interfere!â Cloudexit suddenly turned around and roared as his entourage.
