The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Chapter 422 Thunder Profound Fruit Tempering Body, in front of the Jinghai Mountain Range, there was much discussion, still expecting the Grandmaster of Tianmu Mansion.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, I know you met by chance. Otherwise, I would have found you back then."

Upon hearing this, Wu Jing felt a buzzing in her head.

Does this senior mean... he had already discovered me before?!

"Senior, you... you already noticed me?!"

Lu Ye nodded calmly.

Wu Jing: "..."

She had thought that in the chaos, no one would have noticed her side.

Indeed, I may have underestimated the perception of such a top-tier mortal realm grandmaster, since I had never encountered such a person before.

"Senior, then I won't disturb you two any longer. I'll take my leave now." After glancing at Xiao Qingyin next to Lu Ye, Wu Jing tactfully took her leave.

Wu Jing could roughly guess that this beautiful female cultivator, who didn't seem to be very strong, might be this senior's lover.

Before leaving, Wu Jing paused, turned around, and seemed to want to remind Zhou Qing and the other person that she would not let go easily.

But after thinking about it, Wu Jing ultimately didn't say it.

In Wu Jing's mind, Lu Ye's strength was... too great!
Even if the other ninth-level grandmasters who participated in the secret realm made a move, Wu Jing firmly believed that they were no match for Lu Ye.

Therefore, reminding myself would seem somewhat superfluous.

Watching Wu Jing leave, Lu Ye turned to Xiao Qingyin and asked, "How far is it from here to the location where the Mirror Sea opens?"

“It’s not far, about two hundred miles away, so there will be more and more cultivators appearing in the vicinity.” After thinking for a moment, Xiao Qingyin replied.

Two hundred miles was indeed right in front of them, for cultivators like them.

With more than half a day until the opening of the Mirror Sea, Lu Ye was thinking about...

Could you perhaps spare a little time to consume one or two Thunder Profound Fruits and observe the effects of this spiritual fruit?

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye said, "We still have some time. I'd like to try out the effects of this Thunder Profound Fruit. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyin immediately nodded. She couldn't wait for Lu Ye to improve his strength even more before the opening of the Realm Sea.

Immediately, Lu Ye found a secluded spot nearby.

He set up a shielding barrier, took out two array flags to conceal his aura to the greatest extent, and then took out a still-warm Thunder Profound Fruit.

Unlike other spiritual fruits, the Thunder Profound Fruit even brings a tingling sensation upon entering the mouth.

Immediately afterwards, it felt as if tiny bolts of lightning were exploding within my body.

"Is this the power of thunder?"

After closing his eyes and sensing for a while, Lu Ye felt a sense of curiosity.

He then began to guide this energy through his meridians, refining it throughout his body before returning it to his dantian.

Whenever this energy, carrying subtle lightning power, passed through his meridians, Lu Ye could indeed feel his physique undergoing subtle tempering.

Of course, the effect of just one spiritual fruit is extremely subtle and not considered significant.

As the spiritual fruit was refined, Lu Ye's cultivation level also quietly increased slightly under the influence of the spiritual fruit's energy.

Thanks to the terrifying efficiency of the Starry Sky Ancient Scripture, this refining process took less than half an hour.

There was still plenty of time, so Lu Ye immediately took out another one...

the other side.

This is in front of a huge mountain range. At this moment, figures are constantly breaking through the air and landing here.

Martial arts masters who could generally lord it over their region outside were now looking around cautiously and fearfully.

They were afraid that they might accidentally offend the grandmaster of this place.

Once upon a time, they were also called seniors, but here, they have become the ones addressing others as seniors.

Currently, the most eye-catching figures around the mountain range are three people.

Among them were one Grandmaster at the ninth level of the Mortal Realm and two at the eighth level of the Mortal Realm.

Strangely, this only Grandmaster at the ninth level of the Mortal Realm who was present actually showed a hint of caution towards the two eighth-level Grandmasters.

The other cultivators who arrived also saw the same thing when they scanned these three areas.

A moment later, the ninth-level Grandmaster spoke first, smiling and saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, Fellow Daoist Zheng, it's been a long time. It's quite a coincidence that we meet in the Yunyao Secret Realm, hehe."

Elsewhere, Zhu Gang from the Tianxuan Sect said indifferently, "Fellow Daoist Xu, it's been a long time. There are quite a few eighth and ninth level Grandmasters who did not come here this time for various reasons. As for the competition for the five positions near the sea, you and I don't need to fight to the death."

The cultivator surnamed Zheng returned the greeting with a smile.

Looking at Zhu Gang's indifferent expression, Xu Mao's expression on the ninth floor changed slightly.

Zhu Gang is at the late stage of the eighth level, and with his powerful skills, he can even fight against a typical ninth-level grandmaster.

But Xu Mao didn't expect that Zhu Gang would be so disrespectful when he took the initiative to greet him, not even bothering to say a word of polite greeting.

Immediately, Xu Mao replied in a similarly indifferent tone: "I heard some time ago that your Tianxuan Sect's Vice Sect Master, Fellow Daoist Ren, was seriously injured... Is he alright now?"

Since this incident occurred, it has been regarded as a disgrace to the Tianxuan Sect.

Their Tianxuan Sect has been entrenched in the Eastern Territory for over a hundred years, and they have never seen a deputy sect leader injured so severely.

Upon hearing Xu Mao mention it, Zhu Gang's face indeed changed color.

However, Zhu Gang immediately snorted coldly and said, "That kind of petty scoundrel won't be able to keep jumping around for much longer. To be honest, our Grand Elder of the Tianxuan Sect has already invited two Grandmasters at the ninth level of the Mortal Realm from the Tianmu Mansion to come to the secret realm to capture this person!"

These words immediately caused a stir around the mountain range.

As Zhu Gang spoke, everyone remembered that two Grandmasters at the ninth level of the Mortal Realm had indeed arrived before the secret realm was about to open.

Moreover, the Heavenly Palace envoy had inquired why the people from your Heavenly Curtain Palace had come to this place... confirming their identities!
Unexpectedly, those two Grandmasters from the Heavenly Curtain Palace were actually here to capture... the newly crowned number one on the Eastern Cang Ranking who had previously clashed with the Vice Sect Master of the Heavenly Profound Sect?!
Xu Mao was startled. If that were true, no wonder Zhu Gang was so arrogant.

He was also a member of the faction of the Grand Elder of the Tianxuan Sect, and it could even be said that he was the strongest member of the Grand Elder's Tianxuan Sect camp. He held the position of Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall and had extremely high combat power.

Within the Heavenly Curtain Palace, there are many Grandmasters of the Mortal Realm, and even the number of Grandmasters of the Earth Realm has exceeded two.

The people of the Sky Curtain Mansion have made their move...

Just as the group was talking, several more figures came from afar and landed on the spot.

At this moment, Zhou Qing and Liu Zheng followed behind the two Grandmasters at the ninth level and arrived at the place. They immediately began to scan the crowd present.

It seems... they are looking for someone.
