Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

Upon hearing Lu Fan's words, Ancestor Jing was somewhat helpless and transmitted his voice, saying, "Junior Nephew Lu, don't underestimate her just because she is a woman. The 'Moon Wheel Ice Phoenix Scripture' she cultivates is a top-tier ice-attribute technique of the Moon Gazing Sect. It is extremely difficult to deal with. Among the young geniuses of the entire Wind Kingdom, she can rank among the top three."

"Don't worry, Ancestor, I know what I'm doing," Lu Fan replied.

When Madam Luan heard that Lu Fan had agreed to spar with Chu Lingxue, she immediately smiled and said, "Lingxue, Fellow Daoist Lu has only recently formed his core, so please don't be too rough with your attacks."

"This disciple understands and will not truly harm Fellow Daoist Lu," Chu Lingxue said, bowing slightly.

"Sigh..." At this moment, Ancestor Jing also sighed helplessly, having already concluded in his heart that Lu Fan would suffer a crushing defeat.

After all, Chu Lingxue is a prodigy of the Wangyue Sect and a disciple personally taught by Madam Luan. Her overall level in all aspects almost surpasses that of cultivators of the same realm. Even if she encounters a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, she is not necessarily going to lose.

Several Nascent Soul cultivators have personally acknowledged that Chu Lingxue is the most promising genius among the younger generation to successfully form her Nascent Soul.

All these titles have allowed Chu Lingxue to enjoy the attention of being the center of attention for a hundred years.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please," Chu Lingxue slowly raised her hand.

"Please," Lu Fan said, bowing slightly.

Then Chu Lingxue instantly transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the sect square, with Lu Fan following closely behind. Ancestor Jing and Madam Luan stood on the pavilion, looking down at the square.

Especially Old Ancestor Jing, whose face was full of worry.

Seeing the solemn expression on Elder Jing's face, Madam Luan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ling Xue knows what she's doing and won't hurt your Xuan Yang Sword Sect's most precious treasure."

Upon hearing this, Elder Jing was speechless.

The hundreds of female disciples of the Wangyue Sect who were cultivating in the square at that moment all wisely retreated to the edge when they saw Chu Lingxue fly down.

"Is Uncle-Master Chu going to have a magical duel with this senior?"

"Didn't you see? The one standing in the pavilion is the Supreme Elder of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect. He brought his disciples to challenge Uncle Chu to a duel."

"The Xuan Yang Sword Sect? What's gotten into them? Trying to spar with Uncle Chu? They'd probably be frozen in one move."

The disciples looked at Lu Fan with mocking expressions.

Standing opposite Lu Fan, Chu Lingxue raised her hand and a high-grade magic weapon longsword appeared in her hand. She said, "If Fellow Daoist Lu can't hold on, call a halt in time to avoid accidental injury."

Lu Fan did not respond. Instead, he released the Tungsten Heart Sword and activated the True Qi Gong at the same time. The originally black sword body was immediately covered by True Qi and turned into a golden light.

Seeing Lu Fan's confident demeanor, Chu Lingxue no longer hesitated. She raised her sword, and white mist surged around her, quickly covering the ground with a thin layer of ice.

Then Chu Lingxue pointed her longsword at Lu Fan, and hundreds of ice crystals instantly appeared in the void, causing the temperature of the entire world to drop significantly!

"Hey! Why are you getting serious right off the bat? We just agreed that it would be more of a friendly spar!" Old Ancestor Jing panicked the moment he saw the sky filled with ice crystals.

"If we don't use some real methods, how can we test young friend Lu's strength?" Madam Luan didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Old Ancestor Jing grew increasingly anxious, but he couldn't intervene to help. He could only watch helplessly, and if he saw anything amiss, he would immediately go down to protect Lu Fan.

But at this moment, Lu Fan looked at the sky filled with ice crystals without the slightest panic. He held the Tungsten Heart Sword tightly in his hand, ready to deal with it at any time.

hum!

The next moment, a divine sense attack suddenly launched an ice crystal at Lu Fan!

Clearly, Chu Lingxue is not some delicate flower grown in a greenhouse, all looks and no substance. She has extremely rich combat experience and knows to use her divine sense to intimidate first, and then launch an attack when the opportunity arises. If someone's cultivation is weaker than hers, they will basically be defeated in one move!

But Lu Fan at this moment had also crawled out of a pile of dead bodies. His eyes immediately flashed with a sharp light, and a similar burst of divine sense erupted.

hum!

Two mid-stage Core Formation divine senses collided suddenly! Chu Lingxue was also surprised by Lu Fan's reaction speed and the strength of his divine sense, but she immediately adjusted herself. With a flick of her longsword, hundreds of ice crystals bombarded Lu Fan from all directions.

Lu Fan showed no fear. With a flick of his sword, he unleashed the Sword Shadow Splitting Technique. In an instant, seven or eight hundred sword shadows formed an impenetrable sword net, shattering all the flying ice crystals!

Chu Lingxue immediately leaped into the air, her body reaching mid-air. She swung her longsword in mid-air, unleashing a burst of cold energy, and a crescent-shaped ice slash shot straight towards Lu Fan at an extremely fast speed.

Click click...

The next moment, Lu Fan's body was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture!

boom!

However, the ice sculpture state did not last even half a second before it was shattered by Lu Fan's powerful True Qi Gong. At the same time, he raised his sword and unleashed several sword shadows at Chu Lingxue!

Chu Lingxue raised her hand and released an ice wall to block the sword shadow. She immediately swung her longsword, and dozens of ice threads shot out from the tip of the sword, instantly attacking Lu Fan!

Faced with the incoming ice threads, Lu Fan dared not be careless in the slightest and immediately dodged. One of the ice threads touched the ground and instantly froze and cracked the ground!

The other ice threads also quickly chased after Lu Fan. Although he used the Sword Shadow Splitting Light Technique again, he only managed to block most of the ice threads. A few ice threads still managed to nimbly evade the sword shadow's blockade.

Seeing this, Lu Fan immediately raised his sword to parry...

Click...

In just one exchange, the Tungsten Heart Sword was frozen into an ice block on the spot!

"Fellow Daoist Lu, is the only move you know how to use to create sword shadows? If you don't have any other methods, how are you going to withstand ten of my moves?" Chu Lingxue said, looking at Lu Fan's longsword frozen.

Only four or five moves had passed when his Tungsten Heart Sword was frozen. If Chu Lingxue were to unleash her full power now, Lu Fan would most likely be defeated.

But Lu Fan was also helpless. Could he use the Illusion Demon Finger? Could he use the Great Demon Sky-Splitting Hand?

There are two Nascent Soul level experts standing right above him watching. It's definitely inappropriate for Lu Fan to expose his demonic cultivation techniques in such a public place.

Without replying, he immediately activated his true qi to shatter the ice on the tungsten heart sword. At the same time, he leaped up and unleashed another seven or eight hundred sword shadows that swept across the sky and attacked Chu Lingxue.

At this moment, Chu Lingxue wanted to see just how many tricks Lu Fan had up his sleeve, but it seemed that apart from using sword techniques and the protective golden light, he had no other tricks up his sleeve.

This made Chu Lingxue unsure of Lu Fan's true strength, so she decided to stop holding back and force him to reveal his true power!

Chu Lingxue immediately sheathed her sword, formed layers of hand seals, and in an instant, a giant ice phoenix formed behind her!

Spiritual power takes form!

The moment the Ice Phoenix appeared, the surrounding air seemed to freeze into frost! The disciples on the outer perimeter couldn't withstand the extreme cold and quickly raised their spiritual energy shields.

Upon seeing this, Lu Fan immediately stopped, sheathed his Sword Shadow Splitting Technique, and retreated back to the ground.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, are you going to compete with me in spiritual power?" Lu Fan was also somewhat shocked.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, let's skip ten moves. If you can withstand this one move, I will acknowledge you!" Chu Lingxue said slowly.

"Very well, then I, Lu, will experience Fellow Daoist Chu's superior skills!" Lu Fan sheathed his Tungsten Heart Sword, his pupils gleaming with golden light. He suddenly waved his hand, his movements wide and sweeping, and the spiritual energy within his body surged forth!

hold head high!

In an instant, a dragon's roar erupted, and a golden dragon formed behind Lu Fan, condensed from true qi! It maintained its form with its own spiritual power!

This is a simple and brutal clash of spiritual energy!
