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

Chapter 348 The Jade Seals of the Ten Great Dynasties! Nascent Soul Perfection!

Deep in the vast mountains thousands of miles away.

In a small mountain range shrouded in mist year-round, the only sound is the whistling of the mountain wind as it sweeps through the forest.

On the pale blue rock, two disheveled figures lay sprawled.

Feng Yao, dressed in a plain white robe covered in dust, had fallen into a coma.

The sight of Cang Mingtian, his face gushing blood, half-lying amidst the rubble, created a horrific scene.

"Tell me quickly, where did you get this thing from!"

Lu Xuan's extremely imposing voice suddenly shattered the deathly silence, his right hand, with its distinct knuckles, gripping a golden jade seal tightly.

His eyes, as black as ink, burned with an almost manic, intense light, as if they wanted to incinerate everything in front of him.

Lu Xuan's sudden change in emotion caused the heavily injured Cang Mingtian's pupils to shrink sharply.

He was stunned for a moment, staring at the unfamiliar Chief Deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall.

The golden core pressure emanating from Lu Xuan at this moment enveloped the surroundings as if it were a tangible force.

A storm raged in Cang Mingtian's heart.

He racked his brains but never imagined that the chief deacon of the Enforcement Hall would be an incomparably powerful Golden Core expert.

It should be noted that even in the Canglan Tianfu Sect, a cultivator at the Golden Core realm is qualified to serve as an elder.

And Lu Xuan was actually just a steward of the Enforcement Hall!
Such cunning and covert methods are truly chilling.

Unimaginable waves of excruciating pain washed over him, but Cang Mingtian stubbornly endured it.

He used his bloodied palms to support himself on the ground and stood up with all his might.

The metallic taste rising in his throat was swallowed back down by Cang Mingtian, who then answered Lu Xuan's question in a clear voice.

"Replying to...Replying to Your Excellency, this is the jade seal passed down through generations of my Canglan Dynasty."

He paused, his gaze falling on the gleaming jade seal in Lu Xuan's hand, as memories surged like a tide.

"Originally, it was just an ordinary jade seal with exquisite carving in the eyes of the world, until that day, when the disciple suffered a backlash during cultivation, and his essence blood dripped onto the jade seal..."

At this point, Cangmingtian's expression became complicated.

"Who could have predicted that the jade seal would absorb essence blood like a living thing?"

As he spoke, Cang Mingtian suddenly raised his hand excitedly, but the movement aggravated his wound, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

He hastily wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his blood-stained sleeve, a morbid fanaticism rising in his eyes: "After noticing the abnormality, I took ten death row inmates from the prison overnight."

"When those people's blood splattered on the imperial seal..." he suddenly sighed, "Alas, it's a pity that not even a single pattern on the seal was altered!"

"Only then did I realize that the essence and blood of these people could not affect the imperial seal."

At this point, Cang Mingtian suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot.

"Therefore, I ordered that the blood of the royal family be extracted, and that everyone from three-year-old children to elderly elders must offer a small amount of their essence blood!"

Finally, Cangmingtian pointed to the jade seal, "until the jade seal completely stopped absorbing everything, and golden light shot into the sky..."

"It then transformed into its current form, surrounded by a mysterious and unpredictable golden light."

Lu Xuan lowered his gaze to the jade seal that shimmered with golden light in his palm, his fingertips tracing the patterns on it, a deep, unfathomable glint swirling in his eyes: "Is that so?"

He suddenly looked up, his right hand gripping the jade seal, veins bulging, as if afraid that this treasure might turn into a streak of light and disappear at any moment.

"Does this heirloom jade seal of yours have an original place of origin?"

Cang Mingtian's half-open pupils suddenly contracted, and his blood-stained lips moved several times before he managed to squeeze out a sound: "At the very beginning?"

The mountain wind whipped up Cangmingtian's tattered sleeves, and his memories fell into the yellowed records of the royal family's ancient books.

"According to our clan's secret records, this item was originally a token bestowed upon ten vassal lords by the founding emperor of the Sun-Swallowing Dynasty. Each lord held one, symbolizing..."

The words stopped abruptly.

The two of them froze on the spot without prior arrangement.

Lu Xuan gazed at the faint aura emanating from the surface of the jade seal, as did Cang Mingtian.

A terrifying thought simultaneously took shape in the minds of both of them.

Could it be...?
In the secular dynasty controlled by the ten major sects, every seemingly ordinary imperial seal holds a secret powerful enough to overturn the cultivation world.

If the imperial seals of the ten great dynasties were all this incredible...

Then, as the largest dynasty that devours the sun, wouldn't it possess an even more powerful imperial seal?
"Very good!" Before Lu Xuan finished speaking, the aura of his golden core suddenly turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the misty mountain path in the blink of an eye.

Cang Mingtian struggled to lift his head, watching Lu Xuan's disappearing figure.

That incredible opportunity that should have been his vanished right before his eyes.

He gritted his teeth and propped himself up, his bloodied nails digging deep into his palms: "Sigh, this is fate..."

But soon, Cang Mingtian suddenly lowered his head and chuckled, the laughter overflowing from his chest carrying the madness of someone who had survived a calamity.

An eerie golden light shone in his eyes—it was an ancient cultivation technique obtained from the jade seal.

Every cultivation technique was being instilled into Cang Mingtian's mind.

However, what Cangmingtian didn't know was...

Even if Lu Xuan knew about the ancient cultivation techniques hidden in the jade seal, he wouldn't care at all.

With the stat allocation system, even the simplest Qi cultivation technique can be deduced by Lu Xuan to unimaginable heights.

In another small mountain range thousands of miles away, Lu Xuan casually carved out a hidden cave.

Inside the cave, the blue spiritual light in Lu Xuan's palm flowed continuously, instantly tearing open a mysterious crack more than ten feet wide in the cliff.

The incredibly solid mountain rocks surged and reassembled as if they were alive, instantly forming a secluded cave that isolated the outside world.

The vines outside the cave intertwined with the spiritual energy set up by Lu Xuan, completely concealing all traces.

Host: Lu Xuan, the Immortal of the Mortal World (Second Incarnation)

Realm: Golden Core (Late Stage)

Technique: Azure Ocean Waves Technique 6/9
Score: 20000
The power of the primordial essence of heaven and earth has been detected. Please confirm whether to extract it.

"This is really a surprise!"

Lu Xuan stroked the warm jade seal in his hand, golden light flowing through his fingers and casting dazzling shadows on the cave wall.

Lu Xuan originally thought he would be training in this mortal world for a long time.

At least, it will take many times longer than the previous mortal world.

Unexpectedly, this simple sect mission led him to encounter such a great opportunity.

With this jade seal, comparable to a celestial artifact, Lu Xuan could guarantee his safety.

It won't be long before he can transcend this mortal world.

Having completed his training, his soul returned to the Heavenly Martial Realm.

Upon realizing this, Lu Xuan's aura suddenly surged, causing pebbles to fall from the cave walls.

"extract!"

As dusk deepened outside the cave, a dozen streaks of light seemed to appear and disappear amidst the churning clouds.

Lu Xuan sat cross-legged amidst the golden light emanating from the jade seal, his spiritual energy rapidly gathering around him.

A transformation powerful enough to shake the heavens and earth is quietly brewing in this unknown mountain cave.

Above the cave, dark clouds surged like crimson lava, and several streaks of crimson light pierced the sky.

Five or six cultivators, dressed in crimson brocade robes with cloud patterns, stood on their swords, the flame totems engraved on the gilded tokens at their waists swaying in the wind.

"Strange!"

"Where on earth did this Golden Core cultivator come from, daring to cause trouble on the territory of my Flowing Flame Valley?"

These patrolling disciples, belonging to Liuyan Valley, were ordered by several elders to find the Golden Core cultivator who was causing trouble in Yangming City.

It turned out that the Qi Refining stage disciples stationed in Yangming City discovered the strange phenomenon caused by Lu Xuan. A spirit bird carried this message back to Liuyan Valley in an instant.

Upon learning that an unfamiliar Golden Core cultivator was causing trouble at his doorstep, the Valley Master of Liuyan Valley was furious.

At the command of the Valley Master of Liuyan Valley, six elders at the Golden Core stage were dispatched.

These Golden Core Realm experts, who usually stayed in the valley, went straight to Yangming City after leaving Liuyan Valley.

They vowed to tear this uninvited guest, who dared to challenge the majesty of Liuyan Valley, to pieces.

Finally, it was used to deter other petty scoundrels.

As early as three hundred years ago, Liuyan Valley proclaimed its existence to the world.

Any Golden Core cultivator who enters my territory must report in advance.

If anyone dares to cause trouble on their own, then Liuyan Valley will make the entire cultivation world witness their power.

What truly constitutes swift and decisive action?

At that moment, several crimson streaks pierced the sky, turning the clouds and mist into a sea of ​​fire wherever they passed.

"Let's go back to Yangming City."

"The elders have discovered the identity of that Golden Core cultivator."

"It comes from the spiritual power of the Canglan Tianfu Sect."

"We'll go back and report to the Valley Master immediately."

....
A month later.

Inside the main hall of the Holy Fire Dynasty's palace.

Inside the magnificent palace, candlelight flickered, illuminating the carved dragon and phoenix pillars.

The wisps of incense lingered in the air, making the entire hall seem like a dream.

On the dragon throne sat a man over forty years old—the emperor of the Holy Fire Dynasty.

He was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, and although he was middle-aged, his brows still exuded the imposing aura of an emperor.

At this moment, he was leaning lazily against the back of the dragon throne, his gaze casually sweeping over the palace maids dancing gracefully in the hall.

On his left and right sides, leaned a stunningly beautiful woman.

The woman on the left is wearing a light pink gauze palace dress, and her skin is as smooth as jade.

Ten slender, jade-like fingers were gently kneading the emperor's shoulders and neck.

The pressure from his fingertips was just right, causing Xiao Tianyin to squint his eyes slightly, looking quite pleased.

The beauty on the right held a golden goblet and gently offered a cup of fine wine to the emperor's lips. Her lips parted slightly, and her voice was soft and sweet: "Your Majesty... please have some."

Xiao Tianyin chuckled softly, raised his hand to stroke the beauty's delicate cheek, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

"Good, it's rare to see my two beloved consorts showing such concern for me today."

The Holy Fire Emperor slowly drank the fine wine, his gaze lazily sweeping across the palace gate.

However, the moment his gaze swept across the outside of the hall, his body suddenly trembled.

The wine that had just been tasted sprayed onto the ground, splashing a crimson stain onto the polished gold bricks.

"who are you?"

The Holy Fire Emperor's voice was filled with barely suppressed anger, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Didn't I say that no one is allowed to disturb me today?"

"Those damned lackeys, how dare they disregard my words?"

Outside the palace gate, a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe was walking slowly.

He had an ordinary face and a thin build. He wore neither the armor of a guard nor the official robes of a courtier, as if he were just an ordinary person who had mistakenly entered the palace.

But ironically, with each step he took, the air in the hall seemed to freeze a little more.

"You are so brave!!!"

The next moment, the Holy Fire Emperor could not contain his anger and shouted loudly, his voice booming like thunder.

The palace maids dancing below instantly turned pale and knelt down, their breaths catching in their throats.

The two concubines beside him trembled, their wine cups frozen in mid-air, not daring to move an inch.

But the man in the black robe remained silent, his steps unwavering, and he didn't even glance at the emperor on the dragon throne.

"Guards!" The Holy Fire Emperor was furious. He slammed his fist on the table, causing it to tremble and cups to overturn.

"Drag this audacious madman out—and execute him!!"

However, it was quiet outside the palace, and no one answered.

Only the footsteps of the man in the black robe echoed clearly in the empty hall.

The man in the black robe was none other than Lu Xuan, who had been in seclusion for a month!
Host: Lu Xuan, the Immortal of the Mortal World (Second Incarnation)

Realm: Nascent Soul (Perfect)

Technique: Azure Ocean Waves Technique 10/9
Points: 90 million

After refining that immortal artifact, Lu Xuan only gained 200 million system points.

Compared to the immortal artifacts in the Tianwu Realm, there were countless times fewer.

However, the power of this realm is far inferior to that of the Heavenly Martial Realm, and the power contained in that immortal artifact is naturally many times weaker.

After obtaining 2 million system points, plus the previous 200 points, the total number of system points is 202 million.

After Lu Xuan deduced the "Azure Waves Technique" to the 10th level, he used a total of 112 million system points.

The candlelight inside the palace flickered suddenly, and everyone felt a blur before their eyes.

Lu Xuan's figure appeared before the dragon table like a ghost.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering even without wind, his icy gaze looking down at the Holy Fire Emperor, his voice as chilling as frost: "Where is the Imperial Seal...?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible pressure suddenly enveloped the entire hall, and even the air seemed to freeze at that moment.

The palace maids trembled with fear, not daring to even lift their heads.

The two concubines were even more pale, their delicate bodies trembling slightly, almost collapsing to the ground.

Lu Xuan remained indifferent and continued, "Next, do as I ask, and your lives will be spared."

The Holy Fire Emperor was taken aback at first, then flew into a rage.

He was the ruler of a country; when had he ever been so despised by others?

Moreover, this is a subordinate dynasty of Liuyan Valley, how can we allow an unknown cultivator to act so recklessly here!
"presumptuous!"

The Holy Fire Emperor slammed his fist on the table, his dragon robe billowing, his eyes blazing with fury.

"who do you think You Are?"

"How dare you be so arrogant in front of me!"

Then, he laughed in anger, pointed at Lu Xuan, and shouted sharply, "This place is within the territory of Liuyan Valley."

"How dare you disregard the prestige of the Immortal Sect behind my Holy Flame Dynasty?"

"No matter who you are, you dare to cause trouble here."

"Even a Golden Core cultivator, or even a Nascent Soul cultivator, cannot save your life."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Holy Fire Emperor suddenly flicked his sleeves, revealing a crimson token in his hand, as if he were summoning something.

However, the area outside the palace remained silent, as if the entire palace had been isolated from the world.

Lu Xuan's expression remained unchanged, but he had lost his previous patience.

"You're very disobedient!"
