Chapter 319 Three Great Divine Powers, Plotting Against Inner Demons
Several months have passed quietly.
The door to the quiet room of Luoshui Pavilion slid open silently, and Lu Yu walked out slowly. There was no oppressive spiritual pressure emanating from him; on the contrary, his aura became even more restrained and calm.
Only in his eyes, strange scenes such as the birth and death of thunder and the dazzling light of swords flashed by, revealing a sense of completeness and profundity after a period of reflection.
The gains from these months of seclusion far exceeded expectations.
He not only fully mastered the second level of "Tai Ling Tong Tian Guang" – the "Sword Pill Realm" – but also condensed the sword pills into a tangible form. With his thoughts, the sword light could be emitted and emitted at will, and his control over its power had reached the pinnacle of his current realm.
More importantly, he used the vast insights and profound knowledge he had accumulated through countless reincarnations to completely transform and elevate his two original supernatural powers.
The Thunder Emperor's Undying Body, combined with the Devouring True Meaning of the Burning and Burning Techniques in the "Myriad Calamities Floating Pagoda Body," has been refined and simplified, and has been deduced by himself to the Heavenly Supreme Realm of being able to cultivate to the "Thirteen-Patterned Thunder Emperor Body"!
Its accompanying physical supernatural power, "Thunder Emperor's Annihilation Seal," has also been sublimated, theoretically reaching the level of "peerless supernatural power."
Of course, theory is one thing.
Lu Yu's current physical cultivation level is still at the Great Perfection of the Earthly Sovereign realm. Due to this limitation, the power of the "Thunder Emperor's Annihilation Seal" can only be exerted at the level of a "quasi-peerless divine power".
Even so, its power has far surpassed that of the past, enough to allow him to physically confront many Quasi-Heavenly Sovereigns, and even pose a certain threat to Spirit-Rank Heavenly Sovereigns.
He incorporated the other supernatural power, the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Hand, into the mysteries of the Floating Pagoda's ability to suppress all things and seal off heaven and earth.
It was no longer just about capturing and suppressing; it also carried a mysterious power that imprisoned all things and cut off the flow of spiritual energy. Its power surged, and Lu Yu renamed it "Floating Pagoda Sealing Heaven Hand".
When used in conjunction with the Holy Pagoda, its power has reached the level of a truly unparalleled divine ability.
At this point, he possessed three unparalleled divine abilities with boundless potential, making him comparable even to the direct descendants of those born into powerful, holy-grade forces.
Lu Yu stood in the courtyard, feeling the unprecedented surge of power within his body, his mind clear and serene.
"In terms of cultivation, Dharma body, and supernatural powers, there is no further advancement within the realm of Earthly Supremes."
He muttered to himself, "The next step is to attempt to become a Heavenly Sovereign. Before that, I need to cultivate the improved Thunder Emperor Undying Body to the limit my current physical body can withstand, at least reaching the physical strength of a Quasi-Heavenly Sovereign, in order to increase my chances of passing the Heavenly Sovereign Tribulation in the future."
As he spoke, he strolled out of the main hall area of Luoshui Pavilion. With a slight movement of his soul power, he sensed the presence of Ziyan and Little Fairy Doctor.
The back garden of Luoshui Pavilion is next to a waterside pavilion overlooking the river.
Zi Yan was facing a smooth, mirror-like blue stone. Her fingertips were swirling with faint purple-gold spiritual energy as she carefully carved something on the stone surface. Her expression was focused, and some complex dragon runes could be vaguely seen. She was clearly practicing some kind of dragon secret technique.
Little Fairy Doctor sat quietly in the waterside pavilion, with a long, slender, willow-leaf-shaped spiritual sword floating in front of her.
The longsword hovered silently, its tip occasionally emitting sharp or gentle sword light. She was using the "Nine Heavens Sword Primordial Spirit Chapter" as a basis to try to integrate the characteristics of the Calamity Poison within her body into the sword essence.
Upon noticing Lu Yu's arrival, the two women stopped what they were doing and looked over at almost the same time.
"My lord, you've emerged from seclusion!"
Zi Yan's eyes lit up, and she immediately withdrew the spiritual power from her fingertips. She excitedly ran over, looked Lu Yu up and down, and asked curiously, "You seem... a little different again?"
Little Fairy Doctor slowly rose, and the dark blue spirit sword transformed into a stream of light and entered her body.
She looked at Lu Yu, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Lu Yu's aura seemed more peaceful and restrained, but based on their familiarity with him, they could vaguely sense the immense power contained beneath that calmness, a power that seemed capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, suppressing heaven and earth, even more unfathomable than before his seclusion.
"Hmm, I've learned a little."
Lu Yu smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over the two of them, and nodded in satisfaction.
The dragon's might emanating from Zi Yan became increasingly pure and profound, and her aura had stabilized at the peak of the Ninth Grade Supreme, only half a step away from the Earth Supreme. Clearly, the essence blood resources of those divine beasts had played a huge role.
The changes in Little Fairy Doctor were even more noticeable. Her spiritual energy was clear and refined, faintly carrying the sharpness of sword spiritual energy, but deep within it flowed strands of profound and high-quality energy, which was a special spiritual energy that had been fused with the power of Calamity Poison.
Her cultivation has steadily reached the Ninth Grade Supreme level, with a solid foundation and extremely high spiritual energy quality.
"It seems you haven't slacked off these past few months and have made considerable progress," Lu Yu praised.
"Of course, I can't let you down, my husband."
Zi Yan said with a smile, then looked troubled, "It just feels like I'm still a little bit short of a breakthrough to the Earthly Sovereign realm."
Little Fairy Doctor also spoke softly: "The Nine Heavens Sword Primordial Spirit Chapter is indeed profound and it suits me well. However, it will take some time to fully integrate the poison and the sword essence."
"The matter of cultivation cannot be rushed; it must be done step by step."
Lu Yu offered a reassuring remark, then said, "Having emerged from seclusion this time, my cultivation has reached the peak of the Earthly Sovereign realm. I now need to travel and seek opportunities and resources to advance further and break through to the Heavenly Sovereign realm. Would you like to continue cultivating here, or come with me on this journey?"
Upon hearing this, the two women exchanged a glance and almost simultaneously exclaimed, "We'll go with you!"
While staying in Luoshen City to cultivate was peaceful, it was also somewhat dull, and they longed to see the wider world.
Lu Yu nodded, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes: "The current ruler of the Western Heaven Continent is the Western Heaven War Emperor. Most of the high-quality resources here have long been firmly controlled by his Western Heaven War Palace, making it difficult for outsiders to get their hands on them."
"At most, we can only travel around and broaden our horizons here. It will probably be difficult for us to obtain the top-level resources needed to break through to the Heavenly Supreme realm, or an opportunity sufficient to support the two of you to improve rapidly."
He paused, then continued, "I do have a place to go. The Tianluo Continent, one of the ten super continents of the Great Thousand Worlds. This continent is vast and rich in resources. More importantly, it is currently the only one of the ten super continents that has not been completely controlled and occupied by a Heavenly Sovereign-level power."
"Oh?" Zi Yan and Little Fairy Doctor both showed curiosity.
"The Tianluo Continent has long been in a state of warlordism and constant warfare, with major forces fighting and annexing each other, resulting in very frequent changes in the power structure."
"For this reason, the resources on the mainland are not monopolized by a single power, but are in a state of flux and competition, offering far more opportunities than in places like the Western Continent where order has been firmly established."
Lu Yu explained.
"and,"
A hint of confidence flashed in his eyes. "With my current strength, I can hold my own even against a true Heavenly Sovereign. In an environment like the Tianluo Continent, I can more than protect myself. In fact, I could become a player rather than a pawn."
Zi Yan's eyes lit up: "This sounds much more interesting than the Western Paradise!"
Little Fairy Doctor nodded slightly: "The chaotic land, though full of risks, also offers many opportunities."
Seeing that the two women were interested, Lu Yu threw out an even more crucial piece of information: "More importantly, as far as I know, there is a possible ancient 'Immortal-grade Heavenly Supreme' ruin hidden in the northern border of the Tianluo Continent!"
"If we can find and enter it, its heritage and resources will be an immeasurable help to the three of us."
"My purpose in going to Tianluo is threefold: first, to find resources and a training environment for you to improve rapidly; second, to seek an opportunity for myself to break through to the Heavenly Supreme realm; and third—to find the whereabouts of that ruin."
The relics of the Celestial Supreme!
Upon hearing this, even the usually composed Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but feel a ripple in her eyes.
Zi Yan exclaimed in surprise, "The remains of a Celestial Supreme? Husband, is this news reliable?"
Having been in this vast world for several months, they are no longer the naive, uncultured people they were when they first arrived in the lower realm.
Through records and inquiries from the Luo Shen Clan, they have come to know that above the Supreme Realm and the Earthly Supreme Realm, there is an even more vast Heavenly Supreme Realm, which is divided into three grades: Spirit, Immortal, and Saint. The difference between each grade is like an insurmountable chasm.
The Celestial Supreme is a terrifying existence that is close to the top of the pyramid in the Great Thousand World!
It should be noted that the Western Heaven War Emperor, who now dominates the Western Heaven Continent and is renowned for his power, is merely a Spirit-Rank Heavenly Supreme.
The value of a relic left behind by a Celestial Supreme being is simply immeasurable!
"There are some clues worth investigating."
Lu Yu didn't make his statement completely, but the certainty in his tone made the two women understand that this was by no means unfounded.
What he was thinking about was naturally the information he had obtained from the simulation regarding the "Heart Demon Thunder Emperor." This old demon, who was infamous in ancient times and had even caused him trouble in the simulation, now had his remnant soul and legacy hidden in the northern border of the Tianluo Continent.
Now that his strength is vastly different from before, with the Myriad Tribulations Pagoda Body and three peerless divine abilities in hand, dealing with a remnant soul should be more than enough.
This trip will not only resolve this cause and effect and obtain its inheritance and treasures, but also potentially find a "space-time anchor" among its remains that can be used for the next simulation, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
"Alright! Let's go to Tianluo Continent then!"
Zi Yan clenched her fists, her face filled with excitement. The allure of a celestial relic is fatal to any cultivator.
Little Fairy Doctor also solemnly replied, "I will follow Brother Lu's arrangements."
She also understood that if they could seize this opportunity, it would be of unimaginable benefit to the future of the three of them.
"In that case, let's prepare to set off."
Lu Yu made a decision: "The Tianluo Continent is quite far from the Western Heaven Continent, requiring the use of a large teleportation array. Let's head to the Western Heaven Battle City, the largest commercial and transportation hub on the Western Heaven Continent, first."
"That is the core area of the Western Heaven Continent, the location of the Western Heaven Battle Hall headquarters, where various forces gather, and there should be stable channels to other super continents."
"Western Heaven Battle City —"
Zi Yan murmured the name, a hint of curiosity and wariness flashing in her eyes. After all, that was the lair of the Western Heaven War Emperor.
"It's alright, we're just passing through and won't stay long."
Lu Yu said calmly. With his current strength and ability to conceal his presence, as long as he didn't actively provoke the core figures of the Western Heaven Battle Hall, passing through discreetly wouldn't be difficult.
With the plan settled, the three of them decided not to delay any longer.
Before leaving, Lu Yu specially sent a message, inviting Luo Tianshen and Luo Qingli to Luoshui Pavilion for a chat.
A moment later, the two arrived together. Upon learning that Lu Yu was about to embark on a long journey, Luo Tianshen's eyes showed a hint of reluctance, but even more so, understanding and blessings.
Luo Qingli bowed respectfully, her expression filled with admiration.
"I have been troubling the nobles these past few days."
Lu Yu got straight to the point, "We are about to leave the Western Paradise to gain experience elsewhere, and we have come to say goodbye."
Luo Tianshen quickly replied, "You flatter me. Your kindness to my clan is akin to giving me a second life. It is an honor for my clan that Luoshui Pavilion can accommodate your temporary residence. May I ask where you intend to go on this journey? Is there anything my clan would like to prepare?"
"The destination has been decided, no need to trouble yourself."
Lu Yu pondered for a moment, then flipped his hand and took out a jade slip that was crystal clear and had subtle spatial ripples flowing through it, and handed it over.
"This item is to be left to the nobles. If the Luo Shen Clan encounters an insurmountable calamity in the future, you may crush this scroll. No matter how far away you are, I, Lu, will sense it and will do my best to come."
Upon hearing this, Luo Tianshen's body trembled slightly. He solemnly accepted the jade slip with both hands and sensed the spatial imprint contained within it, instantly understanding the situation.
This is not just a promise, but a guarantee that can protect the legacy of the Luo Shen clan in critical moments!
He took a deep breath, and together with Luo Qingli, bowed deeply to Lu Yu: "Your Excellency's great kindness will be forever forgotten by the Luo Shen Clan!"
"Take care." Lu Yu nodded slightly and said no more.
After seeing off Luo Tianshen and his son, Lu Yu quietly left Luoshui Pavilion with Zi Yan and Xiao Yixian.
Three streams of light, their auras restrained, rose from the pavilion, instantly disappearing into the sky and heading towards the core of the Western Continent.
