Chapter 559: Chapter 557: Secret News_1

Although he thought as such, the news of the downfall of a mid-term Golden Core cultivator was like a thorn in his heart, constantly reminding him and giving him a faint sense of crisis.

He glanced at the numerous Spirit Plants in the Spirit Field, and that sense of crisis faded a lot. He kept nurturing them, keeping himself busy, and had no time to think about anything else.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

A communication talisman flew to the outside of his cave.

“Brother Lu, during this period, three big things happened in the Cultivation World.”

“One of our sect’s stations was passed by a disaster-level evil spirit a while ago. It was violently murderous and killed all the cultivators inside. According to a brother who entered the station, the cultivators’ flesh and blood were sucked dry, leaving only a bunch of withered skin bags, which was extremely tragic.”

“Eight thousand miles away, Qinghai city was attacked by a large number of mutated demons, among which were several outer realm demons hidden. The city was destroyed, and countless people died or injured. Less than one in ten of the cultivators who escaped were alive.”

“A few days ago, many spirit beasts in the Ten Thousand Beast Gate lost their minds and violently attacked the cultivators in the gate. Among them were three fifth-grade spirit beasts. There were no less than ten casualties among the Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the losses were heavy.”

…

“The situation is getting more and more serious.”

Lu Xuan murmured to himself.

He rarely goes out, so in order to keep up with the various news in the Cultivation World, he specifically asked Liu Su to pay attention for him. Once there were important events, especially those related to the sect, she should collate and inform him as soon as possible.

He felt a slight anxiety in his heart, then went back to the courtyard and took out the cultivated Water Glow Grass spirit seeds that he had been working on refining.

In addition to the five Ice Firefly Grass spirit seeds he obtained last time, he has acquired two more, and the rest have no chance of being refined successfully.

“With these seven Ice Firefly Grass spirit seeds, I hope they can bring enough cultivation rewards when they mature.”

He carefully stowed away the spirit seeds. Given the current dire situation, he was not in a hurry to plant them.

That day, he cultivated enchanted immortal peaches on the mountain.

The enchanted immortal peach has produced dense pink peach blossoms, which, set against the deep red miasma below, looked more charming and attractive. The surrounding area seemed to be filled with a decadent atmosphere.

“Junior Brother Lu, are you at the cave?”

Suddenly, a familiar voice came through the formation.

It was Brother Ge, Ge Pu, who had a deep friendship with Lu Xuan.

Seeing him, Lu Xuan had a happy expression on his face and quickly went out to meet him.

Outside the formation, Ge Pu, dressed in a white robe, floated quietly in the air, his demeanor ethereal and otherworldly.

The Yin Yang Spiritual Energy swirled around him, and his black and white eyes were even deeper, his aura as deep and unfathomable as the ocean.

“Brother Ge… should I call you Uncle Ge now?”

“Congratulations on your breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, Brother Ge!”

At first, Lu Xuan was a bit startled, then he suddenly realized. Ge Pu, a true disciple whom he had known for many years, had successfully promoted to the Golden Core Realm.

When they first met, he was just one step away from the Golden Core, and after many years and numerous hardships, he finally made that leap.

Lu Xuan was genuinely happy for him.

“Junior Brother Lu, we don’t need to be so formal with each other, we can still call each other as brothers.”

A faint smile appeared on Ge Pu’s handsome face.

“Your help has contributed a lot to my breakthrough to the Golden Core realm,” he said with feeling.

Lu Xuan had helped him solve the breeding issue of the Ancient Exotic Yin-Yang Koi fish a long time ago. This greatly benefited him, who practiced the Yin Yang Dao, and led him to comprehend the fundamentals of his cultivation technique.

Later in the Duobao Tower, he told him about the Saint Baby Pill, enabling him to be prepared in advance and get hold of this pill that could slightly increase his chances of successfully forming the core.

Therefore, he felt deeply grateful to Lu Xuan.

“Alright, then I’ll still call you Brother as before.”

Lu Xuan strikes while the iron is hot, speaking candidly.

“By the way, Brother Ge, how come you have time to visit me today? With your cultivation level at the Nascent Soul Stage, you should be hunting those demonic spirits in the Black Demon Abyss.”

He asked in confusion.

“I came back to the sect for a bit and thought I’d come to see you, Junior Brother.”

“As for the demonic spirits, those things are endless.”

Ge Pu spoke with a hint of helplessness.

“Has the situation gotten this severe?”

Lu Xuan’s expression turned grave.

“Indeed, as far as I know, a new batch of outer realm demons has broken through the spatial barrier and emerged from the depths of the Black Demon Abyss.”

“Compared to before, these demons are stronger, and there are even quite a few that are equivalent to a Primordial Infant True Monarch.”

“The entire East Wasteland will likely become a battleground for the demons in a few years. After seeing the current situation, the Primordial Infant True Monarchs in our sect have repeatedly considered and decided to move the sect?”

“Move the sect?”

Lu Xuan exclaimed in shock, his tone filled with surprise, as if he had heard something unimaginable.

The Sky Sword Sect, such a colossal entity, actually wants to move?

“Exactly, if we stay in the East Wasteland and fight to the death with the demons, it may lead to the complete destruction of the cultivators in our sect.”

Ge Pu said with a solemn expression.

“But where can we move to when there are demonic spirits everywhere?”

Lu Xuan calmed down and asked in confusion.

“Junior Brother Lu, there are many core secrets in our sect that only True Disciples or Nascent Soul Stage cultivators are privy to.”

“We have a deep friendship, so I will tell you a secret today.”

“The Sky Sword Sect is one of the top sects in the Cloud Void Domain, but it has another origin. If traced back, it is a branch of the Dongxuan Sword Sect, one of the top Sword Dao sects in the Canglan Realm.”

“Thousands of years ago, a cultivator from the Dongxuan Sword Sect came here to establish it. Although it is separated by many realms, it still maintains some connection.”

“The Sect Master and several Supreme Elders have decided to return to the Dongxuan Sword Sect in the near future.”

Ge Pu said in a deep voice.

“The sect has such a secret. But, Brother, you came to tell me in advance, do you want me to be prepared?”

Lu Xuan asked in confusion.

The smile on Ge Pu’s face faded as he shook his head.

“Those eligible to return to the main sect are limited, five Primordial Infant True Monarchs, eighteen Golden Core Real People, sixteen True Disciples, and more than ten Primordial Infant close relatives.”

“So, I and the other fellow sect members are the ones being abandoned?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan felt a cold chill in his heart.

“It’s not abandonment, but different arrangements. Especially important members of the sect like you, Junior Brother, are expected to shine one day as a spark.”

“Please explain, Brother.”

Lu Xuan said calmly.

“Travelling through realms faces numerous risks including various spatial turbulence, cracks, omnipresent gales, destructive force of thunder tribulation, and so on.”

“Even Golden Core Real People can barely protect themselves in such an environment. A slight carelessness could end their lives. Only Primordial Infant True Monarchs or space-type supreme treasures can cruise relatively safely.”

“However, the number of cultivators a Primordial Infant True Monarch can protect is limited, just a few. Therefore, after discussion, the sect decided to take authentic teachings, and the close relatives of True Monarchs.”

“As for the remaining fellow sect members, even if they are descendants of Primordial Infant True Monarchs, they have to be sent away through other means.”
