Chapter 1290 My Disciple Forms Core: Innate Wind and Thunder Escape

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to give you, junior brother."

The sword boy stretched out his fair little hand, within which countless minute sword lights darted about wildly, instantly condensing into a sword-shaped mark.

"This is the core mark for entering the Cave Profound Realm. Junior brother, by dripping your essence blood into it, you will gain the qualification to freely enter and exit the Cave Profound Realm."

"The Cave Mystery Realm is the core of the Sword Sect's cave heaven, forming its own world. The spiritual energy inside is far richer and purer than that of the Sword Sect. It is the place where several Nascent Soul Ancestors and True Sword Disciples of the sect cultivate in seclusion."

"It contains a lot of sword intent left by ancient sword cultivators, as well as various rare and precious materials closely related to swords."

"Junior brother, you may choose to enter."

Upon hearing what the sword boy said, Lu Xuan's heart stirred.

The newly acquired Tai Shi Dao One Sword Grass needs some sword-attribute spiritual objects to nourish it, so I can find an opportunity to pluck some from the Dongxuan Realm.

“Junior brother understands. It’s just that because he needs to take care of the many spiritual plants in the cave, he may not be able to stay in the Cave Mystery Realm for a long time like the other brothers.”

He said in a deep voice.

"Yes, it is precisely because of your detached attitude that you have achieved such incredible success in the field of spiritual plants."

Lu Xuanling, the plant master, has already won people's hearts, and Jian Tong nodded to indicate that he understood.

Lu Xuan exchanged a few casual words with him, then returned to his cave with the Spirit Essence of All Things and the Mark of the Cave Mystery Realm.

March has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, while he was practicing the advanced supernatural power of "Universe in the Sleeve", his young disciple Mu Yuanping came to visit him.

"Master, I have a request."

After greeting Lu Xuan, Mu Yuanping knelt on the ground.

"Judging from your perfect spiritual power and the unity of spirit and body, are you preparing to break through to the Core Formation stage?"

Lu Xuan used his magical power to lift Mu Yuanping up, scanned him with his divine sense, and asked softly.

"Yes, thanks to the Yuanling Pill that Master bestowed upon me before, after a period of seclusion, I have finally reached the stage of advancing to the Core Formation stage."

"I have come here to request my master to protect me."

"No problem, let's go."

Lu Xuan nodded with satisfaction, and a sword light enveloped Mu Yuanping, directly leading him into the breakthrough spiritual ground.

Mu Yuanping was already exceptionally talented, possessing a rare innate wood spirit body with considerable accumulated knowledge. With the protection of Lu Xuan, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and the blessing of the Sword Sect's superior spiritual land, along with the Core Formation spiritual artifacts bestowed upon him, his breakthrough to the Core Formation realm was a natural progression.

In less than an hour, Mu Yuanping successfully advanced to the Core Formation stage.

"Congratulations! This fifth-grade sword grass and three fifth-grade sword talismans are a congratulatory gift for your advancement to the Core Formation stage."

"In the future, remember to guard against arrogance and impatience, diligently cultivate your skills, and catch up with your senior brothers and sisters as soon as possible."

Lu Xuan handed Mu Yuanping a sword grass that could split light and hide shadows, as well as three sword talismans.

"Thank you, Master."

"Before, I was in seclusion and delayed the condensation of the Spirit Gathering Grass Bead. After consolidating my realm, I will try my best to condense a fourth-grade Spirit Gathering Grass Bead."

Mu Yuanping bowed deeply.

"This disciple is quite sensible. He previously figured out how to form a fourth-grade spirit-gathering grass bead on his own, thanks to his special physique. Now that he has broken through to the Core Formation stage, he should be able to form the bead even faster."

"In this way, there is no need to worry about not being able to keep up with the speed at which the Divine Wood Green Pot accumulates the spiritual energy of plants and trees."

Lu Xuan was extremely satisfied with Mu Yuanping and was determined to impart more of his knowledge on cultivating spiritual plants in the future, so as not to waste his innate wood spirit body.

Back in his cave, Lu Xuan continued to study supernatural powers and cultivate spiritual plants, living a simple yet fulfilling life.

More than a month later, Li Haotian and Chen Qingshuang, who had been traveling for many years, successfully returned to the sect.

The two entered Lu Xuan's cave hand in hand, their eyes sparkling with affection, a picture of love between them.

"Disciple Li Haotian and Chen Qingshuang pay their respects to Master."

The two were perfectly in sync, kneeling down at the same time.

"Haotian, you've broken through to the mid-stage of Core Formation? Congratulations!"

"Qing Shuang, your cultivation has also improved a lot. It's clear that you've gained a lot from this trip."

"The cultivation world has been quite turbulent lately. It's good that you've returned safely. For the next period of time, before the situation stabilizes, stay in your sect and cultivate diligently to digest what you've gained."

Lu Xuan gave gentle instructions.

"Yes, I will obey Master's command."

Li Haotian and the other person responded in unison.

"This trip started out normally, but we did encounter demons later on. Thanks to the powerful treasures that Master bestowed upon us, we were able to escape alive."

Chen Qingshuang seemed to recall some terrifying existence, looking as if she still had lingering fear.

She calmed herself down, turned her head to look at Li Haotian, and urged him on with her eyes.

Li Haotian took a deep breath and knelt down on the ground with a thud.

“Master, this trip with Junior Sister Qing Shuang has lasted for ten years. We have experienced a lot of joy and also faced life-threatening dangers.”

“During this process, my junior sister and I grew closer and closer. Before returning to the sect, we both made up our minds to become Daoist partners and stay together through life and death until the end.”

"Please help me, Master!"

"Please help me, Master!"

Chen Qingshuang followed closely behind, also kneeling down on the ground.

“The cultivation world is different from the secular world. In the secular world, the relationship between men and women lasts only a few decades, and two people can spend most of their lives by each other’s side.”

"As for cultivators, especially since you two have both formed your cores and have a lifespan of over five hundred years, it is possible that the gap in cultivation between the two of you will widen, or one of you may unfortunately pass away, leaving the other to spend the long years alone."

Have you all thought these things through?

As their master, Lu Xuan would not make such a significant decision lightly, and asked the question solemnly.

"Reporting to Master, our minds are made up."

The two exchanged a glance and replied in perfect unison.

"Alright, then I will grant your wish. I will give you this Azure Profound Withering and Flourishing Sword Formation as a congratulatory gift to witness your marriage as Daoist partners."

Seeing the two of them like this, a smile appeared on Lu Xuan's face, and then seven azure sword grasses appeared in front of them.

The sword grasses were subtly connected by a formation, constantly changing, with sword intent withering and flourishing, seemingly containing the great terror of life and death.

"This Azure Profound Withering and Flourishing Sword Formation is composed of seven Azure Profound Withering and Flourishing Sword Grasses, which I cultivated in my early days."

Although it's only a sixth-grade sword formation, it contains the secrets of life and death, and it could even put up a fight against a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

"Now that you two are of one mind, it is perfect for you to use this sword formation."

As Lu Xuan spoke, seven sword-grass blades landed in the hands of the two men.

"Thank you, Master!" Although the two had already obtained many treasures from Lu Xuan, they were still shocked when they learned about the details of the Azure Profound Withering and Flourishing Sword Formation.

This master is too generous to be able to deal with a sword formation that can counter a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

"By the way, Master, I have another request."

Chen Qingshuang, who was always resolute, seemed a little hesitant, as if she had just remembered something.

"Oh? Tell me."

"When we get married, we ask our Master to be the officiant and witness our most important moment."

For Chen Qingshuang, Lu Xuan held a very important place in her heart.

When she was still in the Foundation Establishment stage, Lu Xuan helped the Chen family solve a problem that could have destroyed the entire family. Later, he even took her as his disciple, guided her cultivation, bestowed treasures upon her, and personally protected her when she formed her core, which completely changed her fate.

It can be said that she got to where she is today entirely thanks to Lu Xuan's help.

"Officiate at the wedding? No problem."

Upon hearing Chen Qingshuang's request, Lu Xuan couldn't help but pause for a moment before finally nodding in agreement.

"Then we will inform our master once we have chosen an auspicious day."

After receiving Lu Xuan's affirmative reply, Chen Qingshuang's mood immediately brightened.

For some unknown reason, she raised her eyelids slightly, glanced at Lu Xuan, and gave him a playful look.

"Master, when are you going to find us a mistress?"

"They're getting bolder and bolder!"

Lu Xuan laughed and cursed:
"After you get married, one of you will stay in the sect, and the other will be sent out to gain experience!"

"Master, your disciple knows he was wrong!"

Chen Qingshuang was pulled away by Li Haotian, and the sound could be heard from afar.

"This apprentice is becoming more and more unruly."

Lu Xuan chuckled and shook his head.

As for Chen Qingshuang's suggestion to find a master's wife, he had no such idea for the time being.

The ball of light involves too many secrets. Once exposed, it will bring endless troubles. Moreover, he has become accustomed to living alone for the past three hundred years, and having another person by his side would make him feel uncomfortable.

"What kind of master's wife is she? She's not even as good as the little tree mother in my personal space."

Lu Xuan entered his personal space, and soon, more than ten little elves with snow-white skin, delicate features, and emerald green patterns flew over with a soft whimper.

"Owner!"

"Owner!"

A large group of little tree girls surrounded Lu Xuan, showing great enthusiasm.

Lu Xuan fed them some pure plant spiritual energy and began to cultivate many high-level spiritual plants in his personal space.

Within the Boundless Sword Prison, countless tiny sword energies danced everywhere, and faint sword intents appeared and disappeared intermittently. At the very center, the Primordial Dao One Sword Grass Spirit Seed was no different from the beginning. Only when one's divine sense carefully examined it could one perceive that the patterns on its surface had become slightly clearer.

"After so many years of preparation, the Boundless Sword Prison has finally taken the shape of a sword energy spiritual land. However, it is unknown how much time and treasures it will take to grow to the level of Heart Sword Lake or even the Cave Profound Realm."

Lu Xuan sighed inwardly, then released his divine sense, instantly gaining a clear view of all the spiritual plants within his personal space.

"We have had the eighth-grade Creation Dew for some time now. Combined with the spiritual energy accumulated in the Divine Wood Green Pot and the wood spirit juice collected by the tree maidens, we can try to accelerate the growth of another seventh-grade spiritual plant."

"As for the Ninth-Rank Mother Spirit Essence of All Things, it can be temporarily stored away so that it can play a key role in the ripening of Ninth-Rank spiritual plants."

Lu Xuan thought to himself and quickly locked onto a silver-white Ganoderma lucidum growing next to the Taiqingzhen Thunder Tree Spirit Seed.

The lingzhi mushroom seemed to possess a certain spirituality, as if sensing something, its entire body crackling with lightning, as if it were about to vanish into the void.

"It's you, the seventh-rank Flying Thunder King."

Before Lu Xuan, who was proficient in thunder magic and spatial secrets, the Flying Thunder King's movements were nowhere to be hidden. He locked onto him with his divine sense and instantly appeared in front of him.

Although this Flying Thunder Mushroom King is only a seventh-grade plant, it is an extremely rare spiritual plant. Lu Xuan once cultivated a sixth-grade ordinary Flying Thunder Mushroom and obtained the frequently used intermediate-level supernatural power, Minor Teleportation Technique, from the light cluster.

He released a powerful sword aura, immobilizing the Flying Thunder Mushroom King, and then took out the bottle of Grade 8 Creation Dew.

"Twelve drops of Creation Dew were used to accelerate the growth of the Grade 8 Silent Extinction Sword Grass. This Flying Thunder Mushroom King is of an even lower grade and has been cultivated for a longer period of time, so one drop should be enough."

"At worst, we can add the Shenmu Qinghu (a type of ancient Chinese teapot) as well."

Lu Xuan sighed, and with a thought, a drop of Creation Dew, brimming with boundless vitality, flew out of the bottle and landed on the silvery-white body of the Flying Thunder Mushroom King.

The moment the two came into contact, they stirred up layers of pale white ripples. Wherever the ripples passed, it seemed to be endlessly nourished, and it was full of unprecedented vitality.

At the same time, the pale golden lightning deep within Lu Xuan's sea of ​​consciousness lit up slightly, and streaks of divine lightning flew out one after another, drilling into the body of the Flying Thunder Mushroom King, providing it with a continuous stream of pure lightning spirit energy.

He focused his mind on the Flying Leishi King, watching the semi-transparent progress bar below fill up at a visible speed.

The effects of the Grade 8 Creation Dew were even more powerful than expected. After more than an hour, the Flying Thunder Mushroom King was fully mature.

[The King of Flying Thunder Mushrooms, a seventh-grade spiritual plant, is a single King of Mushrooms that has been nurtured over countless generations. It is cultivated with spiritual energy containing thunder spirit energy, favors thunder-attribute spiritual objects, and possesses extremely strong escape techniques, making it difficult for ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators to detect its presence.]

[Once mature, it can be used to assist in cultivating lightning-based magical abilities, and it also has a strong restraining effect on demons and evil spirits.]

Lu Xuan carefully picked the Flying Thunder Mushroom King, his gaze immediately drawn to the white light cluster that quietly appeared.

"This ball of light is truly captivating."

He sighed, and with anticipation, gently touched the surface of the ball of light.

In an instant, the ball of light shattered silently, and countless tiny points of light shot into the sky, condensing into a thin river of light in the air, carrying a faint power of wind and thunder, and rapidly entering Lu Xuan's body.

At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.

[Obtained a Rank 7 Flying Thunder Spirit King, and acquired the high-level divine ability "Innate Wind and Thunder Escape" (fragment).]

The moment the thought disappeared, countless pieces of information rushed into Lu Xuan's sea of ​​consciousness like a raging river.

In an instant, the river of information transformed into a pair of purple and blue wings, flashing with lightning as it raced swiftly through Lu Xuan's sea of ​​consciousness at an incredible speed, seemingly capable of traversing hundreds or even thousands of miles in an instant.

[The "Innate Wind and Thunder Escape" is a high-level escape technique. Mastering it grants control over the fundamental power of wind and thunder, allowing one to instantly traverse hundreds or even thousands of miles. At its peak, it can even traverse space, ignoring spatial forces.]

To cultivate this supernatural power, one must be proficient in at least one of the two arts: wind or thunder.

"High-level divine ability: Innate Wind and Thunder Escape!"

"As expected, the Flying Thunder King, who is skilled in escaping, used a divine ability of escape, which is also closely related to its lightning attribute."

"The only pity is that it was an incomplete version, but it's not the first time this has happened."

Lu Xuan was not surprised. He had once opened up a fragmented high-level supernatural power called "Sleeve Universe" from the square-inch wooden light ball, and with the help of the Enlightenment Bodhi and the Nine-Rank Lotus Platform, he had almost finished it up.

Now, the effects of the Enlightenment Bodhi are still ongoing, and the Nine-Rank Lotus Platform can also enhance comprehension. In addition, he is already proficient in thunder magic, and with the mature Seven-Rank Flying Thunder King as an aid, learning this Innate Wind and Thunder Escape should not be a problem.

"There are still seven drops of Creation Dew, and the mysterious natural secret energy obtained from the Profound Extreme Tree Mother has not been used up. In addition, there is the Spirit Essence of the Mother of All Things. I have too many ripening spiritual items on my body, so I have no choice."

He scanned the area with his divine sense, thinking about which high-level spiritual plant he should try to accelerate to maturity.
