Chapter 136, Level 50! [New Year's Greeting Chapter, wishing everyone a prosperous Year of the Snake]

"Once a cultivator in the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm steps into the Other Shore Realm, their special physique's Sea of Wheels may begin to evolve, showing signs of unusual phenomena. Could this be the initial evolution of unusual phenomena in my Sea of Wheels due to my innate learning of the Sacred Body?"

Lu Xian was pleasantly surprised. He had never imagined that his peculiar physique could produce such phenomena.

Which of these extraordinary phenomena—the moon rising over the sea, the celestial king descending to the heavens—isn't it incredibly awe-inspiring?

Now he will also have a unique vision of his own!

Lu Xian stood in the Pure Land on the other side of the high sky, gazing quietly downwards, silently observing the evolution of the runes on the surface of the Bitter Sea.

Endless runes rose from the sea of suffering, shining brilliantly.

They no longer drifted and scattered as before, but seemed to have their own consciousness. Multiple runes attracted and combined with each other to form pages of luminous celestial books, with wisps of fine mist rising and flowing from their surfaces.

New celestial books are constantly being created and transformed above the Sea of Bitterness, numbering in the thousands, almost endless.

These pages of celestial scripture, some attracting each other, stacked together to form small booklets.

Some of the celestial books, however, are connected end to end, converging into long, swaying dragons that ride the waves of the sea of suffering.

"Stacked together to form a book? Connected together to form a dragon?"

"Does this seem to be two different paths of anomaly evolution? Are they two different anomalies, or two wondrous methods of the same anomaly?"

Lu Xian was surprised and doubtful. He had some understanding of the strange phenomena, but he couldn't find any reference points for the strange phenomena of his innate learning of the Holy Body. His understanding was like a rootless duckweed, difficult to fathom.

The specific evolutionary direction of the strange phenomena in the Sea of Wheels is not yet clear, but it is foreseeable that the culture of the Sea of Bitterness will become a heavenly book and that books will become a sea above the Sea of Bitterness.

Lu Xian's Sea of Wheels is still evolving. If he wants the phenomenon of the Sea of Wheels to appear, he probably still has a long way to go. At the very least, he needs to break through to the other shore perfection realm first.

The Other Shore Realm involves a transformative process of nine lives and nine deaths, undergoing nine cycles of constant desolation and rebirth before finally breaking free from its cocoon and transforming into a butterfly, achieving Great Perfection and ascending to the Dao Palace Realm.

If someone has a strong physique, at this stage, as soon as they emerge from seclusion, the clouds in all directions will stir and strange phenomena will soar into the sky.

Lu Xian has only just broken through to the Other Shore Realm, and his realm is not yet stable. He has no intention of trying the Nine Lives and Nine Deaths Transformation for the time being. Cultivation is not something that can be accomplished overnight. For now, he just needs to stabilize the realm he just broke through to.

Looking up at the hazy clouds above, he saw the Dao Palace, which was still too far away.

Lu Xian glanced at it lingeringly before turning his gaze away and sitting cross-legged quietly. At this moment, the Suppressing God Tower exhaled a wisp of primordial yellow energy, and he began to continue refining his martial soul.

A wisp of Xuanhuang Qi has now been refined into the abstract Qi of the Martial Soul. With this wisp of Xuanhuang Qi as a foundation and the experience of one refinement, refining the second wisp of Xuanhuang Qi into the Martial Soul will be much smoother and the process will be faster.

Lu Xian was juggling three tasks at once: consecrating his artifacts, consolidating his cultivation at the Other Shore Realm, and breaking through his soul power. If he hadn't tortured himself with the Divine Millstone every day to make his divine sense strong enough, he probably wouldn't have been able to maintain this state for long before becoming mentally and physically exhausted.

After reaching the other shore realm, his essence, energy, and spirit were sublimated, and his divine power surged. Lu Xian's sea of suffering was also successfully opened up to the size of a palm, with countless divine rays shining brightly inside.

The cave fell silent for a moment, with only Lu Xian's faint but even breathing remaining.

This state of affairs lasted until the afternoon of the fifth day before finally ending.

Lu Xian calmly opened his deep eyes. He sat there cross-legged, his aura restrained, leisurely and serene. Every move he made carried a mysterious Taoist charm, as if he were a banished immortal, ethereal and otherworldly.

The Other Shore Realm has now been completely stabilized, and the second wisp of Xuanhuang Qi has been successfully refined into the Martial Soul. Most importantly, Lu Xian's Soul Power has now successfully broken through to level 50!

[Host's soul power has reached level 50. The fifth soul ring reward has been issued. The fifth concept-type soul skill, which is over a million years old, is being automatically generated.]

[Fifth Soul Skill: XX, save me! Generating complete]

"XX, save me?"

"Okay, judging from the name, this is another unorthodox concept soul skill..."

Lu Xian had gotten used to it, remaining calm and composed.

He casually opened the ability check window for his fifth soul skill.

Fifth Soul Skill: XX, save me! (You can call out their name or code name)

Shouting the Soul Spell "XX, save me!" will instantly teleport the target to the Soul Skill user and forcefully control them for 1 second, protecting the Soul Skill user with all their might and blocking all attacks from the enemy on the Soul Skill user by any means.

For each additional spirit ring a user acquires, the range of their fifth spirit skill increases by 100 meters, and the duration of their strong control and protection effect increases by 1 second, currently at 5 seconds.

"This soul skill..."

Lu Xian stroked his chin and commented, "Seems alright!"

After a brief period of study, Lu Xian had a thorough understanding of the abilities of this soul skill and the various applicable scenarios.

For example, if Shi Hao attacks him with the Kunpeng Treasure Technique, he can chant "Ye Hei, save me!" to make Ye Fan forcibly teleport in front of him to block the attack of the Kunpeng Treasure Technique, or he can chant "Shi Hao, save me!" to make Shi Hao teleport in front of him to catch the attack of the Kunpeng Treasure Technique he himself launched.

Not only that, but those whose names or code names are called will be forcibly controlled to protect you for 5 seconds. They will attack you if you attack them, and become stupid if you don't.

Five seconds may seem like a short time, but it was actually enough for Lu Xian to use his spiked club to give them a neat middle part.

"It can barely be considered an offensive capability!"

Lu Xian smiled faintly, quite satisfied with this. Breaking through level 50 not only gave him an additional conceptual divine skill, but also provided a small boost to the previous four divine skills. This seclusion was a complete success.

Today is Lunar New Year's Eve. I've made plans for a New Year's gathering, and it's time to get out of quarantine. I can't be too late.

Lu Xian rose from the futon, and with a wave of his hand, he collected the surrounding energy. Rainbow light burst forth, and with a thunderous roar, he burst out of the temporary cave halfway up the mountain, standing high in the sky. His body was radiant with divine light, as dazzling as a small sun.

His aura was far stronger and more expansive than it had been a dozen days ago, hovering in the high heavens like a towering mountain. He gazed at Tian Dou City several kilometers away, and with a sweep of his divine sense, he saw everything clearly, leaving nothing hidden.

Inside the Lu residence, the main courtyard has been completed, but the residence is currently empty, and the kitten seems to be still breaking through to the next level.

In the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, in the Emperor's study, Xue Qinghe, his eyes showing a hint of weariness, held a wolf-hair brush and was reviewing memorials. Lu Xian sensed the aura of the Bitter Sea Realm emanating from him.

His divine sense swept over the stacks of memorials piled high in front of and beside him, and a wealth of information leaped into his mind.

During the ten-odd days that Lu Xian was in seclusion, several things he was concerned about have made progress. Tang San somehow ended up with Tang Xiao and was handling Tang Hao's funeral. The Title Douluo arranged by Xue Qinghe realized that he was no match for Tang Xiao, so the capture of Tang San was delayed.

The rest of the things went relatively smoothly.

The vassal kings of the Kingdom and Duchy have been secretly purged by the Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall, and now the power of the entire Heaven Dou Empire is in the hands of Xue Qinghe.

The funeral of Emperor Xue Ye has been announced to the world. As the only crown prince of Tian Dou, Xue Qinghe will naturally succeed to the throne. The empire is in a precarious period, so the funeral of the emperor and the succession of the new emperor will be conducted in a simple manner.

Now he should be called the Qinghe Emperor!

The country is beautiful, but there are also more things to deal with, which is both physically and mentally taxing, as can be seen from Xue Qinghe's tired appearance at this moment.

Lu Xian felt a little sorry for them, but he didn't want to interfere for the time being.

Qian Renxue has been lying low in the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace for so long, and becoming emperor and seizing power has almost become an obsession for her. Having such an obsession will not be good for her future cultivation.

Fortunately, she is now satisfied with her life. Letting her experience the hardships of being an emperor and let go of her obsessions will be more beneficial for her future cultivation.

"Breaking through to the other shore, my divine sense has also been greatly enhanced, allowing me to see much further. The strength of my divine sense now probably far surpasses that of cultivators in the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm, and even those in the Four Extremes Realm may not be able to match me..."

"Without leaving home, I can know everything that's happening in the world," Lu Xian murmured, feeling that he was one step closer to becoming an immortal.

A moment later, he opened a portal and stepped inside.

The world under one person.

The sky here is overcast, and snowflakes are falling.

There is an artificial lake on the outskirts of the city. The scenery around the lake is beautiful, with lush vegetation covered with a light layer of white snow, and a touch of vibrant green dotting the silver-clad landscape.

Several elegant villas are built along the lakeside and nestled against the mountain. These villas were rented at a high price by Zhang Chulan a few days ago to host the big shots in the group. He is currently being searched by All-Touch, and he is not using his own ID card.

Money makes the world go round; as long as the gold is right, there are plenty of people willing to do dirty work.

"One!"

"Wait! I won!"

"Holy crap, Naiqi doesn't even know how to play mahjong, and you still managed to win against her with a ridiculous hand? Ye Hei, you're a real dog!"

"Don't give me that crap. Don't think I don't know you're secretly doing a pure suit! I intercepted your pass!"

As soon as Lu Xian arrived, he heard Ye Fan and Xiao Yan shouting loudly. Under the glass canopy outside the villa, three men and one woman were sitting at a mahjong table. The sound of the mahjong machine washing the tiles was loud. In addition to Ye Fan and Xiao Yan, Zhang Chulan and Lu Xueqi were also at the table.

"Oh, Brother Lu is here!"

Xiao Yan, his face bruised and swollen, called out excitedly, "Quickly, replace Naiqi! She's so bad, we didn't even get to play her properly!"

Lu Xian walked forward with a faint smile. "What happened to your face? Did Naiqi beat you up because she lost at mahjong and was so angry?"

"I'm not that kind of person."

Lu Xueqi rolled her eyes, stood up and offered her seat to Lu Xian, as she didn't like playing mahjong in the first place.

"Don't even mention it. Medusa was incredibly dark-skinned. We fought several times, and it was always a close call. But the third time I went to fight her, I was ambushed and a bunch of people ganged up on me!"

Xiao Yan waved his hand, "Forget it, let's not talk about anything else today, let's get on the table and play a few rounds!"

"I'll avenge you." Lu Xian nodded to Lu Xueqi and sat down with a smile.

"You can't cheat!" Ye Fan tapped the mahjong table to remind him, still worried.

Lu Xian calmly raised an eyebrow. "Do you think I'm that kind of person? By the way, what about the others?"

"Qilin and Fire Girl are preparing ingredients for dinner in the kitchen, while Xiao Shihao and Xiao Nannan are helping them pick vegetables. Naiqi can't cook, so we pulled her in to make up the numbers since we were short one!"

"Little Shi Hao is here too?" Lu Xian was a little surprised, thinking that Little Shi Hao was going to pretend to be dead again.

Zhang Chulan said proudly, "I told him there was lots of delicious food, and he immediately came running over like a puppy."

The mahjong tiles were shuffled, the machine pushed the tiles onto the table, the dice were rolled and the tiles were dealt. Lu Xian had just arrived, and this time he was the dealer. He calmly picked up two tiles.

He smiled slightly: "Sorry, it's a perfect four-of-a-kind!"

"..."

Ye Fan, Xiao Yan, Zhang Chulan: ?

Looking at the overturned tiles in front of Lu Xian, the dark array of winds (east, west, south, north) left the three of them craning their necks in silence. Lu Xueqi, standing behind Lu Xian, also fell silent. She was a beginner and only had a superficial understanding of mahjong, but she knew that mahjong shouldn't be played like this...

Ye Fan had been watching Lu Xian ever since he sat down at the table, trying to prevent him from cheating. But Lu Xian clearly hadn't used any essence or soul power, and the cards and dice were shuffled by machine. So how did he cheat?

"Not bad, not bad, Brother Lu, you're very lucky! Sit here and wait a moment, I'll go to the kitchen and get you some US dollars..."

"I'm going to get the English baseball bat..."

"I'll go get the areca nuts..."

Lu Xian had barely sat down for three minutes when he was kicked out of the card table. His spiritual sense was too strong, and his cheating was silent and impossible to guard against. No one could detect it. You can't play with someone like him.

The laughter and chatter attracted the attention of the kitchen. Qi Lin peeked out and said, "We're out of soy sauce! Who's free to go buy some seasonings? We'll need them for cooking tonight. Oh, and also, buy two lanterns and a pair of Spring Festival couplets!"

"Let Lu Gou and Nai Qi go. One of them can't cook, and the other cheats at cards. They can't do anything but run errands. Qi Lin, come over here and make up the numbers. We're one short!" Ye Fan shouted.

Lu Xueqi stood up somewhat embarrassedly, "Then I'll go out and buy what I need."

"You probably don't have any money on you, and you don't understand modern society. To avoid making a fool of yourself, I'll go with you."

Lu Xian got up, and Lu Xueqi nodded slightly. The two of them slowly walked outside.

Just as Lu Xian was about to walk out the door, he flicked his finger, and a thick wad of RMB that Zhang Chulan had put in his pocket flew out and quietly landed in his hand.

The two left the villa, where snowflakes were still falling.

It's not far from the city center, but it's not close either. Lu Xueqi wanted to fly on her sword, but Lu Xian stopped her and told her to put away the Tianya Divine Sword. Flying on a sword here would be too shocking.

It was still early before nightfall, but the streetlights were already on. Under the dim sky, they strolled side by side through the light snow, passing one lamplight after another. Both of them had outstanding temperaments, dressed in white, their black hair flying in the snow.

Walking together, they looked like a divine couple who had stepped out of a painting, attracting frequent stares from passersby who thought they were from some film crew. Some bolder passersby even ran up to take photos with them.

Lu Xueqi seemed a little uncomfortable with all of this, but Lu Xian remained calm.

"Let me buy you some clothes first. This outfit is too eye-catching; it will attract attention wherever you go."

"good……"

The two unknowingly entered the city. Skyscrapers stood tall, and cars flowed like water on the streets. When they saw the first car, Lu Xueqi thought it was a monster that had swallowed her. She almost drew her sword to kill the monster and made a fool of herself. Fortunately, Lu Xian quickly calmed her down.

The two arrived at the pedestrian street in the city center. Various shops lined both sides of the road, and the shops were brightly lit, with clean glass and floors reflecting light.

"How does this world feel?" Lu Xian brushed the snowflakes from her hair and asked with a light laugh.

"It's good. The people are prosperous, and everyone has a rosy and glowing complexion." Her gaze was fixed on the groups of pedestrians on the street, all of whom were beaming with joy. Her moist red lips were slightly pursed. The people of this world are far happier than those on her side.

"Handsome, are you buying clothes for your girlfriend?"

The glass door was pushed open at that moment, and a little girl poked her head out and asked enthusiastically.

"I...I'm not..."

"yes!"

Lu Xueqi waved her hand, wanting to explain, but Lu Xian had already smiled and nodded, taking her somewhat stiff hand and pushing the door open, saying, "Bringing your girlfriend to buy clothes, do you have any styles to recommend?"

"Hey handsome, your girlfriend is so beautiful! She has a great figure and amazing skin, even better looking than a big star! She's a natural clothes hanger!"

The saleswoman stared at Lu Xueqi, whose cheeks were slightly flushed, for a long time before offering her suggestion: "I think your girlfriend could wear a pure white turtleneck sweater underneath for warmth, and a mink fleece overcoat over that. For the bottom, white stockings with thick tights would be a great choice. She would definitely look stunning in that, outshining even the biggest stars..."

Lu Xian smiled warmly, though he didn't know much about these things: "Alright, let's do it your way."

Soon, Lu Xueqi was led into the changing room. When she came out, she was dressed in a white modern outfit. Her delicate face, which was both beautiful and a little nervous, was both pure and aloof. She was simply perfect!

"Handsome, what do you think? I told you she was beautiful!" The saleswoman was also seeing a beauty like Lu Xueqi for the first time, and she, a woman herself, was almost in love with her.

Lu Xian's gaze lingered on Lu Xueqi, scrutinizing her from head to toe until her cheeks flushed slightly, before he spoke, "I feel like something's missing."

As he spoke, he took a fluffy hat from the shelf next to him, reached out and put it on her head. It fit perfectly, and he nodded in satisfaction: "This is much more comfortable. It matches your clothes perfectly, and you look both beautiful and cute. If you could be a little coquettish, you'd be absolutely adorable!"

Lu Xueqi rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.

Lu Xian paid the money, and the two left the clothing store to buy things they would need for the New Year.

"Naiqi, try being cute and charming!"

Lu Xian teased, genuinely wanting to see how Lu Xueqi, this ethereal fairy, would act coquettishly, making everyone adorable.

"No!" Lu Xueqi snorted and turned her head away.

"Come on, come on! Just once!"

"Don't pull and tug at each other, it's improper, it wouldn't look good if someone saw..."

"What are you afraid of? Look at those two up ahead, they're biting their lips right there in the street!"

Lu Xian did not give up. The streetlights reflected the flying snow and illuminated their path. Their hands quietly clasped together until they were almost home before they hurriedly separated.

"Such a beautiful moment, we should take a picture to remember it. Naiqi, sit there, hand on your chin... Yes, just like that, don't move, look at me!"

……

When the two returned from shopping, it was nearly evening.

Snowflakes drift through the courtyard like flying blossoms, while lights illuminate every home to welcome the New Year.

Bright red lanterns hung high outside the door, and festive couplets were pasted on the walls. On New Year's Eve, welcoming the Spring Festival, firecrackers boomed under the night sky, their colorful sounds warming the snowflakes and illuminating the entire night sky.

This year's Spring Festival is destined to be an unforgettable one.

The large round table was now laden with steaming hot food and wine. Lu Xian raised his glass and smiled:

"Though we come from different worlds, we share the same New Year's Eve and welcome the same New Year. May the flowers bloom similarly year after year, and may we all remain the same year after year. Cheers!"

Everyone joyfully raised their glasses: "Cheers!!!"

Ye Fan downed his drink in one gulp, then chuckled slyly, "Brother Lu, surely we'll get red envelopes and New Year's greetings!"

Zhang Chulan chimed in: "The most handsome one, hurry up and hand over your red envelope!"

"The most handsome?"

Lu Xian smiled knowingly: "Then it seems I must step up. Ten strands of Xuanhuang Qi for each of you to help with the New Year's offerings for new artifacts. I'll give you all red envelopes!"

"As for blessings, let's all do it together! Next year is the Year of the Snake, so everyone should say one snake-related blessing. Anyone who can't say one has to punish themselves with three drinks!"

"I'll start!"

Lu Xian: The Golden Snake Brings Blessings!

Ye Fan: Snake and Confrontation!

Xiao Yan: Everything is going smoothly with the snake!

Shi Hao: Who else but me is a snake!

Qi Lin: May your luck be great in the Year of the Snake!

Zhang Chulan: The snake brings good fortune!

Lu Xueqi: Success in the snake business!

Yan Ling Ji: May the snake bring you good fortune!

Little girl: Nine snakes bring good fortune!

Ten people smiled and looked at a screen, then clasped their hands in unison to congratulate them:

————May you all————
