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

Chapter 305 The White Lotus Saint Mother!

Above the vast and boundless sky, an enormous island, seemingly held up by an invisible giant hand, floats silently in the air thousands of feet above.

The vast expanse of clouds and mist swirls like a light veil, sometimes concealing the islands within, and sometimes revealing their mysterious outlines.

On the surface of this island, two hunched-over old men are floating in the air.

Their withered hands moved wildly, continuously channeling the surging power within them into the strange red crystal before them.

The red crystal emitted a deep, mysterious light, the rhythm of which seemed to be in sync with the breath of heaven and earth.

It is immediately obvious that it is the core of a crucial array.

One of the old men was dressed in a dark blue robe that seemed to be woven from countless shadows in the night sky, shimmering with an eerie luster.

As time went by, the old man's wrinkled face grew increasingly ferocious and terrifying, like an enraged demon from hell!

Finally, the old man in the dark blue robe could no longer contain his anger. He looked up to the sky and roared, his voice like rolling thunder, shaking the surrounding clouds and mist.

"I'm furious! Lu Xuan, you madman who's gone too far!"

The old man who angrily berated Lu Xuan was none other than the patriarch of the Luo family, one of the eight great families.

In recent days, the patriarch of the Luo family has been receiving urgent messages from his descendants.

In almost every secret realm, the best of the younger generation of the Luo family were mercilessly slaughtered by Lu Xuan, a junior.

Lu Xuan's ruthless methods were like sharp blades, piercing the heart of the Luo family patriarch, making him hate Lu Xuan so much that he wanted to tear him apart and drink his blood.

However, when the Luo family patriarch cursed in anger, he had already forgotten his past evil deed of sending people to massacre the Lu family.

"hateful!"

The Luo family patriarch clenched his fists in anger, his eyes burning with fury. "If it weren't for this array core entanglement, I would have made that junior Lu Xuan pay a terrible price for his actions!"

Facing Lu Xuan, the True Monarch of the Void, the core bloodlines of the Luo family, who were entrusted with great expectations, were already in grave danger and were almost completely slaughtered.

The old man opposite the Luo family patriarch also had a fierce look on his face; he was the Wu family patriarch.

At this moment, the heart of the Wu family patriarch was also filled with anger and humiliation.

Because the Luo family was not the only family to suffer this calamity.

The descendants of the Wu family also suffered heavy losses at the hands of Lu Xuan.

The thought of that damned monster filled the patriarch of the Wu family with a piercing sense of humiliation.

As dignified True Monarchs of the Void Realm, they have always been high and mighty in the cultivation world, but in an instant, they have become puppets of the demon race.

That terrifying beast planted a deadly force of world rules within the bodies of these ten Void Realm Monarchs.

This force, like a leech, constantly threatened their lives, forcing them to submit to the demonic beasts.

This is why these True Monarchs of the Void Realm are willing to use their physical bodies to suppress the core of this formation.

Five of the eight major families.

The Luo family, the Wu family, the Gu Yue family, the Jiang family, and the Tang family.

And five transcendent forces.

Daoxu Temple, Jingxin Temple, Jianling Sect, Jiyan Holy Gate, Xuanyin Immortal Palace!
In that instant, the Luo family patriarch and the Wu family patriarch looked up at each other with a knowing glance.

In their murky eyes burned an endless fire of humiliation.

No matter who it is, as a top human martial artist like Dongxu Zhenjun, being enslaved by a demon beast would fill one with deep despair and resentment.

This despair was like a thick, dark cloud, weighing heavily on their hearts, refusing to dissipate.

Ironically, at this moment, these people who were once high and mighty were no longer able to decide their own lives.

How ironic!

"The once mighty eight families have now become slaves to demonic beasts."

These two sentences were like needles piercing their eardrums, and both the Luo family patriarch and the Wu family patriarch groaned in unison.

The eerie power contained in that voice filled them with dread!
"who is it!"

The Luo family patriarch narrowed his eyes, his dark blue robe fluttering without wind, and roared at the surroundings.

With a flick of his withered finger, hundreds of cyan-green pillars of light, each a slash of the laws of heaven and earth, instantly materialized, shattering the surrounding space.

The space suddenly froze.

The shooting cyan-green beam of light was frozen in mid-air, and even the light spots it emitted remained still.

The eyes of both the Luo family patriarch and the Wu family patriarch immediately revealed a look of horror.

In the blink of an eye, the stars shifted, the world turned upside down, and countless scenes began to appear illusory and unfamiliar.

When the two of them came to their senses, they found themselves in a boundless white spiritual mirror world.

Beneath their feet lay a smooth, mirror-like surface, reflecting the hunched figures of the two Luo family ancestors.

Above, the sky was devoid of sun, moon, and stars; only pure white light gently shone down.

"this is"

The patriarch of the Wu family's pupils shrank sharply, his voice filled with vigilance and suspicion.

The patriarch of the Wu family seemed to have already guessed who it was from that somewhat familiar yet eerie aura.

At that moment, ripples suddenly appeared in the center of the pure white mirror.

A pure white lotus flower bursts forth from the sky, its petals unfurling to emit a clear, melodious sound.

Then came the second flower, the third flower…

In the blink of an eye, ten thousand white lotuses bloomed, their elegant fragrance carrying a strange aroma.

"It's you demons!"

"The Pure World White Lotus Sect!"

The Luo family patriarch roared, unleashing the full power of his Lesser Completion Void Realm cultivation.

A violent storm of the laws of heaven and earth swept out, crushing all the surrounding white lotuses.

Countless white specks of light drifted across the sky, like a snowstorm moving in reverse.

"As expected of the Pure World White Lotus Sect!"

The old patriarch of the Wu family spoke with a heavy tone, and even a hint of disbelief.

This is enough to show how much of a shock the emergence of the Pure World White Lotus Sect brought to the patriarchs of the Wu and Luo families.

However, no sooner had the patriarch of the Wu family finished speaking than another shocking scene unfolded.

The white lotus light spots that had just been shattered suddenly stopped, then flowed back to the center and condensed again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

They are in perfect condition, restored to their original blooming state, and their sacred aura is even stronger.

Where those points of light converged, a woman in a white dress stood gracefully.

The woman in the white dress had skin as white as snow, and her face was as exquisite as a work of art carefully sculpted by heaven.

Her bare feet trod on the mirror-like surface, each step creating ripples of white lotus-shaped reflections.

However, the woman in the white dress had an icy gaze, a look that disregarded all living beings, which shot directly at the Luo family patriarch and the Wu family patriarch, as if she were sizing them up.

"The Holy Mother of the White Lotus!"

The Luo family patriarch roared, his voice laced with barely concealed shock and rage. "Hmph, you wicked fiend, how dare you brazenly step into the Spirit Ruins!"

Despite the strange and unpredictable aura emanating from the White Lotus Mother before them.

However, the Luo family patriarch, confident in his cultivation as a minor master of the Void Realm, maintained a composed demeanor and did not reveal much fear. But the next moment, the situation changed drastically.

The Luo family patriarch instantly realized that he was terribly wrong, and extremely wrong.

The once tranquil white world suddenly froze, as if the air were being gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand.

Immediately afterwards, countless chains of world rules and order, gleaming with a cold white light, surged forth from every corner of the world.

These terrifying chains of world rules firmly sealed off the space surrounding the two patriarchs of the Luo family.

"Power of the world!"

The patriarch of the Wu family was the first to react, his voice becoming sharp and shrill with terror, "You...you!"

The Luo family patriarch was equally dumbfounded, staring at the surging chains of world rules and order, and said in a trembling voice, "You fiend, how could you possibly break through to the Earth Venerable realm!"

In an instant, an overwhelming force of suppression surged forth, as if to crush everything in the world into dust.

Under the pressure of this terrifying force, the bodies of the Luo family patriarch and the Wu family patriarch bent uncontrollably.

Every bone creaked under the strain, as if its flesh and blood were bearing the weight of the vast, boundless world.

At this moment, the two of them finally realized that they were facing the White Lotus Holy Mother, who was at the Earthly Venerable Realm Lord level.

Their so-called cultivation level as a True Monarch of the Void is nothing more than that of an ant.

Damn it!
Both the Luo family patriarch and the Wu family patriarch were internally ranting and raving.

In the long history of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Earthly Venerable Realm Lord realm was the supreme power in myths and legends.

How could two supreme beings, Earthly Venerable Realm Lords, have emerged in such a short period of less than a year?

How the hell are we supposed to play this?!

Don't tell us that there will be Earthly Venerable Realm Lords appearing next.

If other Earthly Venerable Realm Lords were to appear, the two ancestors of the Wu family would probably wish they were dead.

With a gentle wave of her jade hand, the Holy Mother of the White Lotus caused the holy light surrounding her to ripple slightly, and her voice seemed to come from beyond the heavens, carrying an undeniable majesty.

"I'm giving you all a chance."

"By surrendering the ten-patterned Sun Artifact and serving the White Lotus True Immortal of our Holy Sect, you can be spared from this endless suffering and may even obtain unparalleled opportunities."

Upon hearing this, the Wu family patriarch and the Luo family patriarch seemed to be frozen in place, then slowly exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with hesitation.

Join the Pure Land White Lotus Sect?
The two of them did not have much objection to joining the Pure World White Lotus Sect.

For them, it's simply a matter of changing masters.

Since we're already enslaved by that demon emperor, it wouldn't matter if we were replaced by another supreme being at the Earthly Venerable Realm Lord level.

The problem is—a ten-patterned sun-shaped artifact!
The two elders of the Wu family felt as if they had been struck hard by a heavy hammer.

These ten-patterned sun artifacts are the foundation and lifeline of the eight great families.

The Ten-Patterned Sun Artifact not only contains a wisp of mysterious and unpredictable world rule power, but also hides many unknown secrets that concern the rise and fall of a family.

In the vast and boundless Great Xia Dynasty, there were only thirteen ten-patterned sun artifacts in total.

Moreover, they all came from the Land of Spirit Ruins and have always been regarded as treasures by the Great Xia royal family, the eight great families, and the five transcendent forces, and have been guarded for generations.

Thinking of this, the Luo family patriarch and the Wu family patriarch steeled themselves and took half a step forward, their voices filled with helplessness and bitterness.

"Senior, to be honest, we two are currently enslaved by a demon king."

"This demon king has planted a deadly power within both of us."

"The slightest disobedience will cost you your life."

Even if I wanted to agree to your conditions, I simply couldn't!

senior!

In the blink of an eye, the Luo family patriarch and the Wu family patriarch, who had just been speaking fiercely and calling the White Lotus Saintess a "demon," immediately changed their tune.

He addressed the person as "senior" with utmost respect, his tone filled with flattery and obsequiousness.

Having spent many years navigating the world of martial arts cultivation, the two of them knew better than anyone else.

The so-called distinction between good and evil is nothing more than a facade in the struggle for power.

In the face of absolute power, all moral principles can be rewritten at will.

The White Lotus Saintess displayed terrifying power at the Earth Venerable realm. This power was enough to turn the world upside down and determine their life and death. How could the two of them not bow down?
As long as the other party has the power to suppress the world, their actions are naturally considered righteous.

Even if he kills a million people a day, it's all to cleanse the world of chaos and relieve people of their suffering!
The words spoken by the Wu family patriarch and the Luo family patriarch, on the surface, seemed to be complaints and a show of weakness, but in reality, they concealed probing and suspicion.

The two secretly realized that being enslaved by that demon emperor was now a fact.

However, the White Lotus Holy Mother, who was at the Earthly Venerable Realm Lord level, suddenly appeared and demanded a ten-patterned Sun Artifact.

What is the real motive behind this?
Could it be that she also knows that secret?
The Ten-Patterned Sun Artifact is related to the Lord of Lingxu, Luo Lingxu!
Once the thirteen Sun-level sacrificial artifacts are gathered together, that will be the time when the legacy of this half-step immortal, Luo Lingxu, will appear.

The two patriarchs of the Wu and Luo families secretly glanced at the White Lotus Saintess, only to find her expression indifferent, her fair face calm and undisturbed, without a trace of human characteristics.

Just as the two elders of the Wu family were having an internal struggle, the White Lotus Holy Mother slightly raised her jade hand.

The chains of world rules that had originally locked the space around the Wu family patriarch and the Luo family patriarch so tightly were suddenly contracted inwards, as if controlled by an invisible giant hand.

"what!"

"Ahhhh!"

Two distinct, piercing screams instantly shattered the silence of the white world.

The bodies of the Luo family patriarch and the Wu family patriarch twisted violently like withered leaves in the wind.

The terrifying power emanating from the chains of world rules was like countless sharp steel knives, cutting through their skin and piercing their souls.

“Senior, spare my life!”

The Luo family patriarch cried out in a hoarse voice, his words filled with deep fear, "We are willing to offer a ten-patterned Sun-level artifact, and we beg you, senior, to show mercy!"

At this moment, the patriarch of the Wu family managed to squeeze out a few words: "We...have absolutely no...intention to resist...please...save our lives, senior!"

At this moment, under immense pressure of life and death, the two had already cast aside all their calculations and doubts, wanting only to save their own lives.

The White Lotus Mother's eyes shone brightly with white light, illuminating the entire white world and seemingly purifying all darkness.

"Bring those eight people to see me as well!"

"I will leave behind a portion of the Demon Emperor's power within you, which I will use to destroy it at a crucial moment."

She kept these people from the eight major families around, naturally to deal with that demon emperor, the One Feather Emperor Ancestor.

Oh, and there's also her old nemesis, Empress Xia Mingyue of the Great Xia Dynasty!
After receiving the assurance from the White Lotus Holy Mother, the two patriarchs of the Luo and Wu families felt as if they had been granted a pardon and fled this terrifying white world in a panic.

As soon as their figures disappeared, the cold and long voice of the White Lotus Mother echoed in the once silent white world.

"Lu Xuan—"

The two words were slowly uttered from her mouth, as if carrying a special magic, lingering in the air.

The White Lotus Mother finally showed a trace of human emotion.

She narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, her gaze flickering with a complex light, a mixture of curiosity, greed, and a hint of something else that was hard to detect.

The secret behind Lu Xuan is definitely not simple!
Lu Xuan, who was frantically sweeping through the secret realm of the Spirit Ruins, naturally did not expect this.

Unbeknownst to him, he had attracted the covetousness of a Earthly Venerable Realm Lord.
