Chapter 1104: Chapter 1101: Echo Chapter 1104: Chapter 1101: Echo â`
âThisâŠâ
Hearing this announcement echoing through the Sky Sword Sect, Lu Xuanâs expression couldnât help but falter.
He had always been low-key and cautious, so he was somewhat unaccustomed to such grandiose proclamation.
âJunior Brother Lu need not mind. Your breakthrough to the Nascent Soul is a great joy for the Sky Sword Sect, and it must be made clear to all disciples immediately.â
âAdditionally, the Sect will also hold a celebration for you, Junior Brother. At that time, all the Primordial Infant True Monarchs staying in the Sky Sword Sect will come to participate, and some neighboring Sects will also send representatives to offer their congratulations.â
âJunior Brother can also invite some acquaintances.â
âThe event is usually held three months later, giving Junior Brother the opportunity to consolidate and familiarize yourself with the Nascent Soul Realm.â
Jian Huanzhen said slowly.
âAlright, Junior Brother understands.â
Lu Xuan nodded, as images of some familiar figures surfaced in his mind.
As the ancient voice gradually faded, the reaction within the Sky Sword Sect varied.
Inside a majestic palace.
Mo Yuanfeng opened his eyes, looking composed.
Upon hearing the ancient voice, a smile couldnât help but appear on his face, while the myriad shades of flying swords behind him suddenly brightened, and the continual sounds of sword ringing filled the air.
âWho would have thought that Junior Brother Lu, who was still at the Golden Core Late Stage when he left the Liyang Taoist Sect, could advance to the Nascent Soul so rapidly.â
âIt seems his talent for cultivation might even surpass that in cultivating spiritual plants.â
âPerhaps, he has the chance to be chosen as the new True Sword Disciple.â
With a smile curling the corners of his mouth, he murmured in admiration.
At Huanzhen Sword Peak.
Hearing that calm voice, the White Ape felt an overwhelming rush of emotion, its eyes turning completely red, unable to calm down for a long time.
âThe master has advanced to the Nascent Soul! From now on, I will be the Guardian Spirit Beast of a Primordial Infant True Monarch!â
âNo good, I must also strive harder, get into more fights soon, and refine the red hair left by my senior.â
At the top of Sword Peak.
Yuan Rong and Yuan Yuan, Jin Zaigan were shocked, but they felt joy for Lu Xuan.
The addition of a Primordial Infant True Monarch to Sword Peak, especially one skilled in various cultivation arts, was nothing but beneficial for them.
Additionally, Lu Xuan had always been generous, constantly gifting high-rank Spirit Brews, so the Nascent Soul Cultivators within Sword Peak had a good impression of him. Learning of Lu Xuanâs advancement to Nascent Soul, their hearts genuinely filled with joy.
Within the Sword Palace, Nascent Soul Elders like Li Xuanchen and Gu Yun who had interacted with Lu Xuan a few times, and many Primordial Infant True Monarchs from the various Sword Peaks who knew Lu Xuan well due to the Sword Peak competition, all came to learn of Lu Xuanâs successful advancement to the Primordial Infant at this moment.
Each had different reactions.
Shock, joy, confusion, envyâŠ
At Purple Cloud Sword Peak.
Wearing a deep purple Daoist robe, the imposing Purple Cloud Sword Master looked down at the endless sea of Sword Qi clouds, silent.
After a long time, he exhaled softly.
With Huanzhen Sword Peak obtaining another Primordial Infant True Monarch, especially one who had performed exceptionally well in the Sword Peak competition, the hope of surpassing Huanzhen Sword Peak in the next competition seemed even more distant.
âTo defend the eighth position while progressing further.â
He immediately changed his original thoughts, deciding instead to set his sights on the ninth ranked Pure Yang Sword Summit.
At Chongxu Sword Peak.
Although slightly prepared, Wan Chongâs heart still surged upon truly learning of Lu Xuanâs advancement to the Nascent Soul.
He managed a smile, but under such emotions, his expression was somewhat strange.
âSigh~â
After breathing deeply a few times, his heart slowly settled.
âUnexpectedly, I really have to address him as Uncle Lu now.â
Wan Chong shook his head with a wry smile, and the thought of diligently cultivating became even firmer in his heart.
Inside Ge Puâs Cave Abode.
As the aged voice rose, he was discussing the situation of the unknown Cave Heaven with the Fire Scale Child.
Upon hearing those words, he couldnât help but lift his head and locked eyes with the Fire Scale Child.
âLu⊠Uncle Lu has advanced to the Nascent Soul?â
He instinctively wanted to refer to him as Junior Brother, but before the words came out, he forcibly corrected himself with a strong will.
âIs there another cultivator called Lu Xuan in Huanzhen Sword Peak, who just happens to be preparing for the Nascent Soul breakthrough?â
â`
Fire Scale Child spoke in a daze, unable to believe his own words.
âPreviously, I could still barely call you Junior Brother Lu by relying on our acquaintanceship from our time in the Sky Sword Sect. In the future, I will have no choice but to call you Uncle Lu.â
He came back to his senses and spoke with a somewhat sour tone.
Back then, at the Sky Sword Sect, he remembered that Lu Xuan was just an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple who was proficient in cultivating spiritual plants, and Lu Xuan had even returned with him to his tribesmenâs living area to help solve problems with the spiritual plants.
Never had he imagined that the status between them would be vastly different today.
He had barely managed to achieve Core Formation with Lu Xuanâs help, while the other had grown into a Nascent Soul True Monarch whom he could only look up to.
âJunior Brother Huo, remember, do not belittle yourself!â
Ge Puâs voice, as profound as the evening drums and morning bells, echoed in Fire Scale Childâs heart, startling him awake.
âUncle Lu has his own opportunities, but we are not lacking either. We all hold the hope of advancing to the Nascent Soul.â
âIf this causes an imbalance in your mindset, then you can forget about advancing to the Nascent Soul and catching up with Uncle Lu.â
The Tai Chi patterns continuously rotated in Ge Puâs black and white eyes as he spoke in a stern voice.
âThank you for the reminder, Senior Brother! I almost let a heart demon take root just now,â Fire Scale Child said with a shake of his head and a bitter smile.
âI understand.â
Ge Pu remained silent for a long time before finally nodding.
âJunior Brother Lu, you have just advanced to Nascent Soul, so you should consolidate your cultivation. Leave the celebration to me.â
âBefore that, we still need to understand the changes after the Nascent Soul Realm.â
âAfter becoming a Primordial Infant True Monarch, the most supreme cultivation techniques, divine skills, treasures, and Cave Heaven Blessed Lands within the Sword Sect will be open to you, Junior Brother. You can obtain them for a significantly lower price.â
âFor instance, the sectâs treasured cultivation technique, âDongxuan Sword Scriptureâ, you can apply to cultivate a part of it.â
âAs for the Cave Heaven Blessed Lands within the Sword Sect, Junior Brother, you will also have the qualifications to occupy a part of them. Whether for cultivation, cultivating spiritual plants, or simply acquiring cultivation resources, itâs all a good choice.â
âThank you for the reminder, Huan Zhen Senior Brother.â
Lu Xuan Laughed.
Already independently owning that Incomplete Cave Heaven, he wasnât particularly interested in possessing a small piece of Cave Heaven Blessed Land, nor was he enthusiastic about the so-called âDongxuan Sword Scriptureâ.
His greatest interest was in the Sword Sect Treasury.
Previously wanting to obtain the Seventh Grade Sword Grass Spirit Seed from the Sword Sect or the millennium Spirit Milk to nurture the Celestial Veil Vine, he had to use special means to acquire them.
After advancing to Nascent Soul, everything was different.
âThe cultivation of the Eightfold Palaceâs time, spatial treasure items, promising the Pagoda Villain a drop of True Spirit Essence Blood, and those rare Seventh Grade Spirit SeedsâŠâ
âAll those Sword Marks earned will finally be put to good use.â
Thinking about the treasures in the Sword Sect Treasury, Lu Xuan couldnât help but swallow saliva secretly.
âAlright, Junior Brother Lu, letâs part ways here. You go back to your cave abode and close up to consolidate your Nascent Soul Realm.â
When they reached the entrance of Lu Xuanâs Cave Mansion, Huan Zhen Jian smiled and said.
âThank you, Senior Brother.â
Lu Xuan said sincerely.
Regarding the celebration that the Sword Sect was going to hold for him, his somewhat reclusive and low-key nature made him slightly resistant at first. But the moment he thought about using the opportunity to extravagantly collect treasures and Spirit Stones as gifts, his heart instantly felt at ease.
âSuch a good opportunity to receive gifts, who knows when the next time will be? Why be so pretentious?â
He quietly reproached himself in his mind.
Arriving at the entrance of the cave abode and before he had time to open the Formation, a streak of white light swept towards him at high speed.
âMaster! My dear master!â
âYouâve worked hard to advance to Nascent Soul! Let me check, did you get hurt anywhere?â
White Ape hugged Lu Xuanâs thigh and wailed.
âRoll away! I donât want to hit you on such a happy day!â
Lu Xuan said, giving White Ape a light kick.
White Ape immediately rolled away far like a sphere, its movements so smooth and natural that even Big Meaty Ball would feel embarrassed.
âFrom now on, youâll be the Guardian Spirit Beast for a Primordial Infant True Monarch. You must carry yourself in a manner befitting the position. Your behavior represents me, your master, so you canât disgrace yourself like that anymore.â
He rebuked White Ape with a smile.
âYes! I will strictly follow the masterâs orders!â
White Ape quickly swapped from its flattering demeanor to one upright and vigorous, shoulders spread, muscles on its back tensed, exuding an imposing presence.
