Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years.

Chapter 287: Royal Family Heritage! I want all the rewards!

"I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Lu Xuan did not act arrogantly. He clasped his hands together and bowed gently, returning the greeting to Princess Xingyue.

"Master Lu, there's no need to be so polite."

Princess Xingyue raised the corners of her lips slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her delicate and beautiful face.

However, this smile was like a fleeting glimpse, fleeting in a flash!
Then, Princess Xingyue did not intend to continue greeting Lu Xuan, but directly explained her purpose.

"Xingyue requested Your Majesty to come and see you, Lord Lu, specifically because I wanted to thank you in person."

Princess Xingyue's voice sounded very gentle, but it carried a hint of imperceptible fatigue.

Lu Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly. He could still see the fleeting pain in Princess Xingyue's eyes.

However, Lu Xuan could also understand Princess Xingyue's pain.

Yes, anyone who is betrayed by the person he has entrusted his heart to will fall into the abyss of despair.

This time, Lu Xuan did not respond to Princess Xingyue, but just nodded slightly. With this silent gesture, he understood Princess Xingyue's gratitude.

Anyway, Lu Xuan couldn't understand the pain of love between men and women.

Of course, Lu Xuan didn't want to experience it either.

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave!"

Princess Xingyue's voice was clear and pleasant. She bowed slightly to Empress Xia Mingyue in front of her, then turned lightly, her palace robe and skirt fluttering in the wind, her movements clean and neat.

In an instant, she disappeared in the hall, leaving only a faint fragrance in the hall, as if to prove that she had been there.

"Lord Lu, you eliminated the Wen family and successfully rescued Xingyue."

"It's a great achievement, I'm very satisfied!"

After a brief pause, Empress Xia Mingyue slowly walked over with an equal attitude.

"Lord Lu—"

Suddenly!
The entire hall was enveloped by an invisible force.

An indescribable sense of oppression permeated the invisible air.

Every inch of space seemed to be suppressed by some supreme power.

It was as if I was suddenly in a completely unfamiliar world.

"This is... the power of the laws of heaven and earth!"

Lu Xuan was horrified, and the purple vortex in his body suddenly erupted, as if it had been strongly stimulated by something.

At the same time, black and gold flames quietly appeared in the hall.

Each black and gold flame moved around the palace like a dragon, directly confronting the mysterious power of the laws of heaven and earth.

The clash of these two unimaginable forces of the laws of heaven and earth, although without any earth-shattering sound, turned the entire space upside down.

Lu Xuan and Empress Xia Mingyue seemed to be in sync with each other, controlling this irresistible force so that it would not affect the outside world as much as possible.

Otherwise, with the power of the laws of heaven and earth alone, this huge palace would be reduced to nothing in less than a second!
In the blink of an eye, in the forbidden area deep inside the imperial palace ten miles away.

In the underground palace.

Three old men dressed in simple and elegant clothes suddenly opened their eyes.

Their eyes were dry and cloudy, but at this moment, they simultaneously burst out with a breathtaking dark light.

In the extremely deep black light, the sound of huge birds singing could be faintly heard, as if it was the roar of a divine beast from the ancient wilderness.

These three old men are the most unfathomable foundation of the Great Xia royal family - the three royal ancestors!

The identity of the old man in the center is even more shocking.

He is none other than Xia Wushi, the younger brother of Xia Wuji, the founder of the Great Xia Dynasty!

A real old monster who has lived for nearly two thousand years, he has witnessed every moment of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Which fellow Taoist is it?"

Xia Wu Shi and the two old men beside him looked at each other and slowly said something.

Obviously, the confrontation of auras between Lu Xuan and Empress Xia Mingyue has alarmed the three royal ancestors buried deep underground.

At the same time, the three of them seemed to be looking through the layers of palace walls, pointing directly towards the main hall.
These three gazes, carrying the power of the Dharma of heaven and earth, descended directly into the Xuanyi Palace.

Xia Wushi's body, which was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, floated up directly, as if he wanted to go to Xuanyi Palace in person to find out what was going on!
It’s no wonder that Xia Wushi showed such a big reaction!

because!

According to Xia Wushi's perception, he had never seen this unfamiliar aura of Master Dongxu before.

You must know that in the years that this world has existed, there are only a dozen or so True Lords of Dongxu in the world.

They are the ancestors of the eight major families!

The leaders of the five transcendent forces!
Zi Yao, the leader of the Xuanniao Guard, the extremely mysterious Holy Mother of the Pure World White Lotus Sect, and the Netherworld Python at the bottom of the Jinlin River!

Xia Wushi remembered the breath of all the beings mentioned here one by one.

But now, the True Lord Dongxu who appeared in the imperial palace was an existence that even Xia Wushi felt extremely unfamiliar with!
The unfamiliar Master Dongxu?
Without even saying hello, he showed up at the Great Xia Royal Family's lair, the Great Xia Palace!
If that’s the case, then what’s going on!
You know, even the huge imperial palace cannot withstand the power of two True Lords of Dongxu.

Xia Wushi and the other three didn't want their nest to be destroyed!

However, just when Xia Wushi and the other three wanted to leave the underground palace.

The voice of Empress Xia Mingyue suddenly reached the underground palace and echoed continuously.

"Three Ancestors!"

"no need to worry!"

When Xia Wushi and the other two heard this, a dark light flickered in their eyes. They looked at each other, as if they were communicating something.

"Ancestor Wu Shi, Mingyue should know her limits."

At this time, one of the old men slowly spoke to Xia Wushi.

"It seems that Mingyue really didn't disappoint us!"

"This strange Taoist friend is probably the same as that woman Zi Yao. His background is probably not ordinary!"

Seeing this, the other old man leisurely stroked his long, frosty beard on his chin.

"This way!"

"Ten days later, the origin of the Lingxu land will eventually fall into the hands of our Great Xia royal family."

"With the power of my Great Xia royal family, plus the power of the ancestral artifact Xuanniao Ding."

"That wisp of Earth Lord's remaining soul will be destroyed by us in one fell swoop!"

"Even those families among the eight major families and those five damn old guys Ying Lingfeng."

"It will not stop us from taking over the Lingxu Land once again!"

"With the power of the origin of the small world left by that Earth Lord."

"perhaps!"

"Even we old guys who are barely surviving can get a glimpse of the power of that realm!"

The old man's words revealed a deep desire and obsession, as if in his dry eyes he had seen the unreachable realm - the Lord of the Earth.

That is the highest realm above the True Lord Dongxu.

A legendary extraordinary being who can create small worlds with his physical body and control the rules of the world.

Although Master Dongxu is able to control the power of the laws of heaven and earth, he seems so insignificant in the face of the power of the world's rules.

no doubt!

The martial arts realm of the Lord of the Earth Realm is almost like a god in the eyes of Xia Wushi and other True Lords of the Void.

Not only can they condense a small world within their bodies, they also possess almost eternal lifespan.

Almost a hundred thousand years!
As long as the small world inside the body is not destroyed, the Lord of the Earth Realm can be regarded as having the same lifespan as the heaven and earth, and competing with the sun and the moon for glory.

In comparison, although the lifespan of Master Dongxu is far beyond that of ordinary people, he can live for more than two thousand years.

But compared with the nearly 100,000-year lifespan of the Earth Lord, it seems so short, just like a mayfly, born in a day and dying in a night.

The martial arts realm of the Lord of the Earth Realm is no longer just an improvement in strength, but an existence that has completely transcended the level of life.

Therefore, for old monsters like Xia Wushi, the realm of the Earth Lord is undoubtedly the ultimate goal of their lifelong pursuit.

However, the realm of the Earth Lord is illusory and countless powerful people find it difficult to reach it in their entire lives.

Anyway, hundreds of thousands of years have passed in the world of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Xia Wushi knew that there was one person who had surpassed this realm. That person was his elder brother, the founder of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Wuji!
Detailed records about the Lord of the Earth Realm were also left by Xia Wuji.

However, Xia Wuji disappeared completely a hundred years after founding the Great Xia Dynasty.

All that remained was the ban on the world of the Great Xia Dynasty!

After a long time, Xia Wu Shi couldn't help but sigh and spoke softly.

"Ugh!"

"Big brother!"

"When will I be able to catch up with you?"

These words expressed both envy for his elder brother and a hint of helplessness and self-mockery.

Xia Wushi has been practicing for nearly two thousand years, but only now has he barely reached the realm of Dongxu Dacheng.

That is the supreme existence in the cave heaven realm!

such a pity!
These old monsters who have lived for thousands of years, although powerful, have long lost their former peak state due to the erosion of time.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to break through to the realm of Earth Lord.

The origin of the Lingxu land is the last ray of hope for these people who are about to decline and die.

Because the land of Lingxu is the small world left behind by the Lord of the Earth Realm!
The origin of the Lingxu land is the original power of the rules of the small world of the Earth Lord.

Under the influence of the original power of the world rules in Lingxu Land, these old guys who are "lingering on" will have the opportunity to get a glimpse of the supreme realm.

"Earth Lord..."

Finally, Xia Wu Shi murmured in a low voice, and the dark light in his eyes became deeper and deeper.

A long-lost desire had been ignited in his heart.

Even though there was little hope, Xia Wu Shi didn't want to give up this last chance.

In the hall, Lu Xuan's expression became extremely solemn, and even a rare trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

He was not only afraid of the extremely powerful Empress Xia Mingyue in front of him, but was also shocked by the profound background displayed by the Great Xia royal family.

The strength of Empress Xia Mingyue seemed to have far exceeded his expectations.

Her power of the laws of heaven and earth is not only extremely powerful, but also contains an indescribable power.

Even a True Lord like Lu Xuan had to give his all when facing her, and even felt a hint of pressure.

However, what frightened Lu Xuan even more was the power displayed by the royal family of Daxia.

Just now, three extremely terrifying forces of heaven and earth descended simultaneously in the hall.

Not surprisingly.

According to Lu Xuan's guess, they were the so-called ancestors of the Great Xia royal family.

This power of the Dharma of Heaven and Earth made Lu Xuan feel the same shock he felt when he faced the Netherworld Python.

In the Great Xia Palace, there is actually an almighty being at the Cave Heaven Realm!
Sure enough, it is no coincidence that the royal family of Daxia has been able to stand firm for such a long time.

Their background is much deeper than it seems on the surface.

Come to think of it, if the Great Xia royal family didn't have the skills, how could they suppress the eight major families and other forces?

In a world where force is paramount, people won't talk to you about the difference between a ruler and his subjects!
Strength is everything!
Suddenly, the power of the laws of heaven and earth coming from Empress Xia Mingyue suddenly dissipated.

Then, Lu Xuan's tense nerves relaxed a little.
Lu Xuan had already made preparations to escape far away at any time.

Now there are four True Lords of Dongxu appearing in the imperial palace alone.

Among them, there is one who is suspected to be an almighty being in the cave heaven realm. Lu Xuan doesn’t need to consider him at all. The best thing to do is to just leave.

It seems that Her Majesty the Empress wants to test her own strength.

But what she didn't know was.

While she wanted to test her own strength, Lu Xuan also had an idea.

I want to see what kind of power this empress who sits in the Great Xia Palace and dominates the world has.

Now, after the test just now, Lu Xuan has got the result!
This Empress, whose seemingly arbitrary power over the laws of heaven and earth, actually far surpasses Lu Xuan's.

Could it be that she is also a Great Master of the Cave Void Realm? A being that has condensed a small cave heaven?

However, Lu Xuan did not forget that this empress still possessed the ancestral artifact of the Great Xia royal family, the Xuanniao Ding.

With her martial arts skills and the mysterious Xuanniao Ding.

If I were to go against him, I would have no chance of winning!

Just after Lu Xuan gathered the power of the laws of heaven and earth, Empress Xia Mingyue stood in front of Lu Xuan, the sleeves of her black imperial robe fluttering in the wind.

At this moment, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Lord Lu, I have heard that you are very fond of spiritual objects of heaven and earth and sacrificial vessels."

"Here are three little things. I'll let you pick one at will."

After saying this, she raised her flawless white hand slightly, and a faint black light passed across her palm.

Then, three exquisite small jade boxes floated above the palm of her right hand.

The jade box quietly opened, and two streams of unimaginably powerful spiritual energy from heaven and earth quickly filled the entire hall.

Lu Xuan's attention was instantly attracted by the three small jade boxes.

It is the same level of spiritual object of heaven and earth as the black spiritual wood that the empress had bestowed upon him before.

Two spiritual objects from the cave?
There is also a black bronze jade pendant, engraved with natural patterns of heaven and earth.

"This is the Eight-Patterned Moon Artifact, the Soul-Suppressing Pendant!"

Empress Xia Mingyue only introduced this sacrificial vessel and did not mention the other two spiritual objects in the cave.

Because she knew that Lu Xuan already knew it in his heart, so there was no need for excessive explanation.

However, what Empress Xia Mingyue did not expect was.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my offense!"

"If possible, I am very fond of these three things."

"I hope Your Majesty will grant it!"

What Lu Xuan said was almost the same as what he had said to Empress Xia Mingyue.

I want all three of these things!

Only children would make choices, but Lu Xuan had different ideas.

He wants them all!

"Puff!" A light laugh escaped.

"Lord Lu, you really surprise me!"

Empress Xia Mingyue opened her red lips slightly, her voice was crisp and pleasant, with a smile that was difficult to suppress.

This was the first time she laughed out loud without any scruples in front of outsiders.

In an instant, the beautiful smile of Empress Xia Mingyue came into Lu Xuan's eyes.

The charm contained in that smile was so captivating that even Lu Xuan felt a strange emotion.

The next moment, Empress Xia Mingyue waved her jade hand casually, and the three jade boxes floated slowly to Lu Xuan and stopped steadily in mid-air.

"Okay, then I'll do as Lord Lu asks."

Lu Xuan was suddenly stunned. He didn't expect that the empress in front of him would be so decisive.

You really gave it to me!
However, no matter what Lu Xuan thought, the speed at which he put away the three jade boxes was simply astonishingly fast.

Within a second, the three small jade boxes were wiped by a dark light and disappeared instantly. They had been collected by Lu Xuan into the virtual world.

"Lord Lu, you will take my place in the martial arts competition tomorrow and select the top 100 candidates for the upcoming Lingxu Land."

"Everything is up to you, no need to ask for instructions!"

When Lu Xuan looked forward again, the figure of Empress Xia Mingyue had already disappeared.

"A martial arts competition?"

"Wei Chen accepts the order!"

Lu Xuan bowed gently towards the void where the empress left, then stepped into the void and left quietly!
Lu Xuan didn't care much about tomorrow's martial arts competition.

Half a day is enough time to refine these three things.
