Start flat, cut off the wife of the five-star empress

He knew that Su Liyan might be facing greater danger, and he had to get to her side as soon as possible.

When he reached the top of the mountain, Lu Yuan was facing a high platform covered with thick energy from heaven and earth.

It is obviously not a trivial matter to climb onto the high platform, because there are powerful and complex magical restrictions there.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, ready to use all his knowledge and abilities to challenge this seemingly insurmountable platform.

While Lu Yuan climbed the platform, he was always concerned about Su Liyan's safety.

He was worried that she was in greater trouble, so he had to find her as soon as possible and ensure her safety.

Thinking this in his mind, Lu Yuan quickened his pace.

As she climbed higher, the fog around her became thicker, making it difficult for him to see the road below.

Even so, he did not slow down, and even quickened his pace.

He took a step forward, and each step under his feet felt accompanied by heavy pressure.

The vital energy of heaven and earth condensed into a thick mist, surrounding his body as if it was going to swallow him up.

But Lu Yuan gritted his teeth, endured the tremendous pressure, and continued to move forward without flinching.

When he climbed to the 180th step, his physical and mental strength were almost exhausted and he had to take a short rest on the stairs.

He was breathing heavily, his clothes were soaked with sweat, but his eyes were full of determination.

During this moment of respite, Lu Yuan realized that he could not give up and must continue looking for Su Liyan.

Although he was slightly injured, he was determined to move forward despite the pressure.

He mobilized his internal energy again, and powerful magical power surged in his body.

He steadied his breathing, started again, and climbed toward the top of the platform.

Every step was accompanied by deafening pressure, and Lu Yuan felt that his body could hardly bear it.

But he was determined and moved forward unyieldingly.

He knew that as long as he could withstand this tremendous pressure, he would be able to find Su Liyan and ensure her safety.

After resting for a while, Lu Yuan activated his internal energy again, intending to cheer himself up and eliminate the fatigue.

He encouraged himself in his heart and repeated his goal over and over again.

After reciting it a few times, Lu Yuan felt that he was motivated again, so he took two steps forward at a time.

Perhaps it was due to the psychological effect just now, he felt that his steps were noticeably lighter.

Just as Lu Yuan was trying his best to climb the platform, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

The man was wearing a black robe, had a gloomy face, and exuded a strange aura.

He is Blood Shadow.

"Lu Yuan? Long time no see."

Xueying looked at Lu Yuan coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Lu Yuan stopped and stared at the blood shadow vigilantly, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

Xueying sneered: "Hong Lietian asked me to give you a warning."

These words surprised and confused Lu Yuan.

"Warn me? About what?"

Lu Yuan asked.

Xueying shrugged nonchalantly: "I hope you can understand that the world of cultivation is not as pure as you think."

"Hong Lietian and I have a common goal. We want to challenge the limits of the cultivation world and fight against unknown powerful enemies."

"If you don't join us, you might be isolated."

Lu Yuan was shocked and confused when he heard Xueying's words.

Xueying smiled slightly: "Because I hope you can make a wise choice." "Hong Lietian and I are not evil people, we are just acting for a greater goal."

Lu Yuan silently observed the blood shadow in front of him, his heart full of thoughts and doubts.

He knew that Blood Shadow was not simply an evil person, otherwise he would not have given him such a strange warning.

"Hong Lietian and you have the same goal?"

"Challenging the limits of the cultivation world?"

Lu Yuan's voice was filled with hesitation and confusion.

Blood Shadow smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of determination, "Yes, we must fight against unknown powerful enemies and act for a greater goal."

Lu Yuan fell into deep thought.

He knew that the world of cultivation was not as pure as he imagined, but he did not agree with what Xueying said about fighting against unknown powerful enemies.

Lu Yuan has always been a man with a sense of justice. His goal is to protect the people, not to be an enemy of the cultivation world.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, he knew that Xueying was testing his position.

He didn't want to be an enemy of Blood Shadow, but he couldn't go against his own beliefs.

"Blood Shadow, although I am curious about what you said, I cannot cooperate with you."

Lu Yuan's voice was firm and clear, "My goal is to protect the people, not to confront the cultivation world."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Xueying's eyes, and he nodded slowly, "I understand your choice, Lu Yuan."

"But you have to understand that this world of cultivation is not as simple as you think."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly. He knew that the difficulties and dangers he faced would not be reduced because of his choice.

Blood Shadow stretched out a hand towards Lu Yuan, holding in his hand a jade pendant that was glowing with a faint light.

"This is a spiritual treasure that can help you absorb spiritual energy better during your practice."

"Although we have different positions, I think you are a cultivator with potential."

Lu Yuan took the jade pendant, his gratitude was beyond words.

He knew that this was Blood Shadow's recognition and help to him.

"Thank you for the gift, Bloodshadow."

"I will cherish it and use it to improve my cultivation." Lu Yuan said solemnly.

Blood Shadow nodded, turned and left, leaving behind a faint farewell, "I hope we can meet again."

Lu Yuan looked at Xueying's back, his heart filled with emotion.

Lu Yuan's heart was filled with emotion. Looking at Xueying's departing back, he knew that he had made the right choice.

Although he was full of curiosity about the complexity of the world of cultivation that Xueying described, he was more convinced of his original intention - to protect the people.

He raised the jade pendant in his hand, feeling the faint light it emitted, his heart filled with gratitude.

The appearance of this magical treasure is undoubtedly a boost and help to his practice.

Lu Yuan decided to cherish this gift and use it to continuously improve his cultivation.

Returning to Leihuo Dan Pavilion, Lu Yuan saw Su Liyan who was sorting medicinal materials.

Her long hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, exuding a gentle aura.

She turned around and saw the jade pendant in Lu Yuan's hand, and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

Lu Yuan smiled and explained: "This is a gift from Blood Shadow, a spiritual treasure."

"He said it would help me absorb spiritual energy better."

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Liyan's eyes. She knew Xueying's identity and strength. It was a great opportunity for Lu Yuan to get his recognition and help.

She smiled and said, "Then you must make good use of it to improve your cultivation." (End of this chapter)
