I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

The Nine Absolute Divine Sect!?

No wonder Gao Jing insisted on staying until the very end and revealing such important information to Lu Xuan and the others.

"Even the Nine Absolute Divine Sect is involved?"

Yi Shuhe's voice turned somber.

They were also shocked by Gao Jing's words.

It doesn't matter what the other party's strength is, but if the Nine Absolute Divine Sect is involved in the matter of the King of Xiping, then it means that the matter will become more serious and worse than imagined!

In terms of the severity of the matter, they are on completely different levels.

"I dare not say much about the others. I have not been in contact with the Nine Absolute Divine Sect, so I cannot guarantee their stance."

"But that old man in gray, I remember him, he should be a disciple of an elder of the Nine Absolute Divine Sect."

Gao Jing shook his head slightly and said.

Reaching the level of the Divine Sect means they have already surpassed them by far.

With the strength of these city lords, they can at most restrict some third-tier martial arts forces.

Once a martial arts force reaches the level of a second-tier martial arts power, it takes the strength of a county-level official to restrain it.

And the top-tier martial arts forces are even more so.

As for Emperor Shenzong, you could even consider him a dynasty with a limited territory.

Therefore, these minor city lords had no authority to handle matters involving the Divine Emperor; they had to report them to the imperial court.

The situation suddenly became extremely serious.

Even Lu Xuan's gaze darkened slightly.

He was making plans in his mind.

His cultivation level had reached the middle stage of the fifth rank.

The Xuan Tian Martial Bone has been developed to its fullest potential through various adjustments.

If you exert your full strength, you should be able to reach the high level of the fifth rank.

With the aid of elixirs, it should be able to raise it to the level of a perfect fifth-grade elixir.

Since Lu Xuan had mastered the Profound Heaven Martial Bone and was also a fourth-grade alchemist, he naturally needed to find a way to bring out the full potential of his Profound Heaven Martial Bone, so he also refined several Profound Heaven Martial Bone Pills.

It can stimulate one's Xuan Tian Martial Bone to a greater extent and to a greater degree, unleashing its most extreme power.

This is Lu Xuan's most prized asset.

The Xuan Tian Martial Bone's ability to overcome challenges beyond his level also allowed Lu Xuan to become one of the best among the fifth-rank cultivators.

This is also why Lu Xuan can completely ignore the Prince of Xiping.

But now, a new sect, the Divine Sect, has intervened.

Generally speaking, there are often sixth-rank experts in the Divine Sect!

That's the most troublesome part.

A sixth-rank expert can condense a martial arts domain.

Lu Xuan needs to completely fuse his Nirvana Dao Bone before he will have a chance to resist the power of the martial arts field.

After Gao Jing and the others finished speaking, they also rushed forward.

Only Lu Xuan and a few others remained at the scene.

"This is getting a bit troublesome. I didn't expect the Divine Sect to be involved behind the scenes."

Yi Shuhe said with concern.

"In my opinion, that's not necessarily true. If the other side is supporting the Prince of Xiping, it must be done in secret and very discreetly. If they were to take action openly, the imperial court would definitely not stand idly by."

Yi Huai'an said in a deep voice.

Lu Xuan glanced at the Qian Yuan Zhenren.

The kid's expression seemed to exude confidence.

There's a sense of anticipation, like waiting to see a good show.

Lu Xuan's heart stirred and he spoke.

"That's hard to say. There must be a sixth-rank expert within that Divine Sect. If a sixth-rank expert were to make a move, wouldn't the world be divided in half?"

"After they've divided the world in half, are they going to start a civil war right away?"

Upon hearing Lu Xuan's words, Yan Meng smiled slightly.

"Mr. Lu, you are unaware of this."

"The Xuanwu Dynasty has an unwritten rule that experts of the sixth rank or above will not participate in these worldly struggles."

"No matter what happens down there, the existence of sixth-rank experts is only to preserve the last vestige of strength; they will not act rashly."

Yan Meng said with a smile.

Upon hearing Yan Meng's words, Lu Xuan also remembered.

In some books I've read in the past, there were indeed similar outrageous rules.

Many people might think, "He's already a sixth-rank official, why would he care about these worldly rules?" Well, my rules are the rules.

That's not wrong.

But the premise is that you are the only sixth-rank person in the entire world.

That would indeed allow one to do whatever one wants.

If there are several factions involved, then it is perfectly reasonable for them to restrain each other and not use their strongest weapons first.

After all, they both have offspring.

If your side sends a sixth-rank expert to assassinate the other side's entire family, then you also need to be on guard, because the other side's sixth-rank expert is watching your entire family all day long.

"No one of the sixth rank has appeared? I didn't know there was such a thing. Haha, I'm getting senile. I didn't even think of such a simple truth."

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

With Lu Xuan's interruption, the atmosphere on the scene became much more relaxed.

"The attitude of the Shenzong is still unclear, so we don't need to worry unnecessarily."

"Let's get what's most important right now."

"The resources we obtain inside will be divided equally among the six of us."

"Brother Qian Yuan, we'll have to rely on you for the formation inside."

Yi Shuhe said to Qian Yuan Zhenren.

Master Qian Yuan clasped his hands slightly in a fist salute.

There was also a sense of confidence on his face.

"No problem."

Next up is Master Qian Yuan's domain, so naturally, his aura rises as well.

Then, the six of them stepped onto the rattan suspension bridge.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Yi Huai'an and Qian Yuan Zhenren were at the forefront.

Yi Shuhe and Mo Yan were in the middle.

Lu Xuan and Yan Meng were at the very back of the group.

Entrusting their backs to a fifth-rank expert like Lu Xuan is a choice that everyone can trust.

As Lu Xuan swept across the rattan suspension bridge, he also glanced at the abyss below.

I sensed the power of the aura emanating from the depths of the abyss.

At this moment, Lu Xuan could also sense that something terrifying seemed to be hidden beneath this abyss.

However, those things below won't escape so easily either.

There's no need to worry too much.

Whoosh!

The group landed in Guanlan Ancient City.

Although traces remain on the stone pillars and walls all around, most of them are covered by vegetation, and only a few original traces can be barely seen.

"This ancient city of Guanlan is said to have been extremely prosperous in ancient times, and its city area was at least ten times larger than that of Jinyuan City!"

Yi Shuhe said.

Ten times the size of Jinyuan City!

Everyone who heard this found it somewhat unbelievable.

After all, in their eyes, Jinyuan City was already quite large.

Could it be that these ancient buildings were also such magnificent structures?

"A bigger one is better, then we don't have to worry about bumping into other people too easily. Let's just go inside."

Lu Xuan said.

There were some things outside, but they were obviously all worthless items.

Since there's a fifth-rank expert like him here, it's definitely the most appropriate thing to do to go deeper into the area.

The others nodded in agreement.

The group immediately rushed deeper into the area.

Although forty or fifty people crowded into the ancient city ruins, looking at the entire ancient city, it was no more than a dozen ants running in.

In addition, the spiritual energy around this ruin is even stronger, so ordinary noises are difficult to travel very far.

This place is actually a more advanced spiritual world.

Although it was just a small corner, the sense of oppression it exerted on Lu Xuan and the others was still quite strong.

Even those with a fourth-grade cultivation level cannot take off here; at least a fifth-grade level is required.

Even flying involves bearing immense pressure.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a ferocious porcupine-like beast charged out from in front of the six people.

When the beast charged out, it let out a low roar, and then the spikes on its body instantly exploded.

shhhhhh!

More than a dozen thick, sharp spikes pierced towards Lu Xuan and the others.

The porcupine-like beast appeared and attacked in one smooth motion.

Everyone responded immediately, but their movements made them look extremely disheveled.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

The ancient tree beside him was pierced by a bullet.

Yi Shuhe and Yi Huai'an also attacked the porcupine-like beast from the left and right respectively.

Mo Yan didn't rush to make a move. That beast was only at the early stage of the fourth rank, which Yi Shuhe and the other two could handle. The others also needed to keep an eye on the surroundings to avoid being ambushed by other beasts.

Yi Shuhe and Yi Huai'an engaged in a fierce battle with the porcupine-like beast.

The violent spiritual energy surged continuously.

A series of tremors erupted.

Lu Xuan's mental energy stirred slightly.

They immediately noticed that several porcupine-like beasts were rapidly approaching from not far away.

"Two more have arrived."

Lu Xuan pointed ahead and said.

Mo Yan also put on the jade knuckle duster at this time.

His figure suddenly darted out.

call out!

He threw a punch at the tall bushes in front of him.

"boom!"

Mo Yan's punch slammed down, and terrifying energy surged forth.

With a muffled thud, a huge black shadow was blasted away by Mo Yan, rolling and crashing to the ground.

It was a fourth-grade exotic beast.

"roar!"

Just after Mo Yan made her move, another fourth-grade exotic beast rushed out from the other side of the bushes and attacked Lu Xuan directly.

Rumble!

Lu Xuan didn't need to take action.

Yan Meng, who was standing to the side, drew a soft sword from her waist with a whoosh.

He channeled spiritual energy into the soft sword and swiftly thrust it forward.

The porcupine let out a low growl and unleashed its sharp quills, hurtling towards Yan Meng.

Yan Meng unleashed a sword technique, her sword spun, and she slashed away all the spikes.

Puff puff!

As Yan Meng approached the fourth-grade porcupine, she slashed down with her longsword, and a crimson sword light transformed into a three-zhang-long sword beam that roared out.

boom!

The sword energy vibrated.

Although the fourth-grade porcupine was knocked back and slashed several times, its thick skin and tough flesh meant it was completely unharmed.

Even after stepping aside, it remained lively and energetic.

Seeing this, Yan Meng also clenched her teeth slightly.

Suddenly, the fourth-grade porcupine's eyes turned blood red.

Suddenly, a violent aura was released from his body.

They rushed towards Yan Meng's direction at lightning speed.

Moreover, during the charge, spikes were constantly shooting out from behind.

shhhhhh!

It came hurtling in with sharp spikes.

Yan Meng hurriedly used her movement technique to dodge, but the attack of this fourth-grade exotic beast, the porcupine, was too fierce, and its attack speed was several times faster than before.

Suddenly, a smaller, sharper spike appeared behind a larger one.

Yan Meng didn't have time to dodge, and the sharp spikes were about to pierce her.

If one is stabbed, the body will inevitably be pierced through.

Just as Yan Meng was at a loss, she felt Lu Xuan's strong hand reach out from behind and grab her slender waist.

But perhaps because Yan Meng herself wanted to retreat, and Lu Xuan happened to arrive, Yan Meng's body involuntarily slid down a bit.

This forced Lu Xuan to support himself on a soft spot in order to stabilize Yan Meng's body.

The powerful compression immediately gave Yan Meng an unprecedented sense of power.

My whole body went limp.

Isn't Senior Lu being a bit too direct?

I don't know if Senior Lu did it on purpose.

Yan Meng felt a surge of shyness.

In all honesty, Lu Xuan had no other intentions just now. It was Yan Meng who sank herself, which is how she managed to grab the other things.

Lu Xuan raised his hand and caught one of the quills released by the porcupine beast, then flung it away.

call out!

The porcupine's sharp quills shot out instantly, piercing through its opponent.

The fourth-grade beast immediately let out a mournful howl and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

hum!

Just after Lu Xuan killed that fourth-grade exotic beast.

Suddenly, he felt a surge of power emanating from the strange beast and merging into his own Nirvana Dao Bone.

To be precise, it was his own Nirvana Dao Bone that absorbed a stream of energy from the corpse of that strange beast.

"Wait... this energy... it seems to be the power of a domain!"

"My Nirvana Dao Bone can devour the power of domains and transform it into my own domain!?"
