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

"The defensive power of this shield sword formation should be comparable to that of a sixth-grade immortal technique."

Lu Yuan clenched his fists excitedly, his eyes flashing with excitement.

The monster riots in the mountains outside Tianfeng City have come to an end, but the world of cultivation is still in turmoil.

Lu Yuan decided to create a new magical weapon to improve his strength and make up for the deficiencies in his attributes.

He knew very well that in this turbulent era, cultivators must continue to improve their strength in order to remain invincible.

After many days of careful planning and preparation, Lu Yuan began the process of refining his natal magic weapon, the "Tiangang Thunder and Fire Sword".

This is an extremely complex and difficult task that requires superb skills and profound cultivation.

In the refining process, every step is full of challenges and tests.

Lu Yuan persevered in investing his heart and soul into the process. He decided to use his own profound strength to replace the traditional steps of essence, blood and soul division. This was a bold attempt and also a test of his own cultivation to the limit.

He was well aware of the risks of doing so, but for the sake of a powerful natal magic weapon, he was willing to bear everything.

During the refining process, he experienced countless failures and setbacks, but he never gave up.

Every failure made him more determined and work harder to find a way to break through.

Finally, after much contemplation, he found the key to a breakthrough and successfully refined the "Tiangang Thunder and Fire Sword", a top-grade, high-level magic weapon.

When he held the sword that was flashing with lightning and fire, and felt the powerful force and burning breath coming from the sword, an inexplicable excitement and joy surged in his heart.

This sword represents his growth and increase in strength, and is also a symbol of his constant pursuit of power.

Inside the Leihuo Dan Pavilion, Lu Yuan did not stop practicing and researching.

He always seeks how to exhaust his profound energy to the limit in order to break through his current realm.

He meditated in seclusion in a secret room, immersed in the exploration of the way of cultivation, and constantly tried to break through his own limitations.

Inside the Leihuo Dan Pavilion, the cultivators were excitedly exchanging their latest cultivation achievements and comparing their progress with each other.

Lu Yuan sat in the main seat, looking at everyone's expressions with a smile, secretly feeling gratified for their efforts.

Ever since Lu Yuan successfully set up the fifth-grade sword formation and shield sword formation, his reputation in the sect has been increasing, and the sect's strength has also been significantly enhanced.

Lu Yuan looked around and found that Su Liyan was busy helping a cultivator adjust his cultivation state, so he signaled her to invite Zi Cuiling to come to the meeting.

As the patriarch of the Ziyun Family, Zi Cuiling's opinions and support are crucial to the development of the Leihuo Dan Pavilion.

However, Zi Cuiling did not come immediately, but chose to join the meeting later.

Lu Yuan was not impatient, knowing that she must have a deeper meaning, so he waited patiently until everyone gathered in the hall before he started the meeting.

"Everyone, now is a critical period for the development and growth of Leihuo Dan Pavilion."

Lu Yuan stood up and glanced at every cultivator present with a determined gaze.

“We must continue to improve our capabilities to meet future challenges.”

"Only by uniting as one and working together can we gain a firm foothold in the world of cultivation."

At Lu Yuan's call, the atmosphere of the meeting gradually became heated.

Everyone expressed their opinions and put forward their own views.

One of the cultivators suggested using the Ziyun family's Beidou secret method to enhance the sect's strength, which immediately sparked a discussion.

"Zi Cuiling, we ask you to share the Beidou secret method, which is vital to the Leihuo Dan Pavilion."

A monk said to Zi Cuiling earnestly. Zi Cuiling smiled slightly but shook her head, "I'm sorry, the Beidou secret method is not easy to pass on. I can't meet your request."

This sudden answer shocked the monks present, and their attitude towards Zi Cuiling began to change.

Lu Yuan looked at this scene and doubts arose in his heart. He knew that Zi Cuiling was not someone who would give in easily, but the rejection at this time made him feel a little uneasy.

"Zi Cuiling, the Beidou secret method concerns the future of the entire sect. Don't you consider the interests of the sect?"

A monk couldn't help but question.

Zi Cuiling smiled calmly and looked at the other person firmly, "I consider the interests of the sect, but the Beidou secret method is not something we should use now."

There was a firmness and confidence in her tone, as if there was no room for doubt.

Lu Yuan's heart moved slightly. He knew that Zi Cuiling's words made sense, but under the expectations and pressure of everyone, he also felt a little helpless.

In the tense atmosphere, conflicting emotions surged in Lu Yuan's heart.

He decided to use the "Tian Gang Thunder and Fire Sword" to block Zi Cuiling's ice-based magic ability, but he felt a little hesitant and guilty about this decision.

"Zi Cuiling, I don't want to be your enemy, but the future of the sect is of vital importance."

There was helplessness and hesitation in Lu Yuan's tone.

Zi Cuiling's eyes flashed with determination and indifference. She faced Lu Yuan without fear, "Lu Yuan, I am not ignoring the interests of the sect, but this matter is not suitable for action now."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yuan, holding the Thunder and Fire Sword, a blazing sword energy cut through the air, blocking Zi Cuiling's figure.

Zi Cuiling gently waved the ice crystal whip in her hand. Amidst the flying ice and snow, she tried to resist the invasion of the sword energy.

"Zi Cuiling, don't push me."

Lu Yuan's voice carried a hint of helplessness and warning.

Zi Cuiling did not answer. The icy aura emanating from her body formed a sharp contrast with the power of thunder and fire on Lu Yuan's body, as if two powerful forces were in fierce conflict.

At this time, the other monks in the hall were stunned. They looked at this sudden confrontation in disbelief.

In their hearts, Lu Yuan and Zi Cuiling have always been wise and kind, and the current confrontation makes them feel unacceptable.

"Sister Zi Cuiling, don't make an enemy of Lord Lu Yuan!"

Su Liyan shouted anxiously, her voice full of worry and uneasiness.

Zi Cuiling did not stop. She looked at Lu Yuan coldly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

"What I want to do will not stop because of other people's obstruction."

Lu Yuan frowned slightly. He felt the powerful aura emanating from Zi Cuiling and couldn't help but admire her in his heart.

Zi Cuiling's strength was far beyond his imagination, and this confrontation was not something he could easily resolve.

There was a fire of determination burning in Zi Cuiling's heart. She knew that her strength was limited, but she was determined not to give up easily.

Although Lu Yuan's Tiangang Thunder and Fire Sword Formation made it difficult for her to break through, she was not afraid and was ready to challenge again.

"Zi Cuiling, you can no longer absorb any more energy. Give up."

There was a hint of worry in Lu Yuan's voice; he didn't want to see Zi Cuiling get hurt.

Zi Cuiling sneered, with a stubborn light flashing in her eyes. (End of this chapter)
