Chapter 380: Even the gaze is starting to draw silk

Xiao Xun, congratulations on your breakthrough.

The Capital's President has arrived.

Such a huge disturbance, the President naturally noticed.

When they discovered that the one undergoing the heavenly tribulation was Lu Xun, the President was also somewhat surprised.

The Fifth Realm's heavenly tribulation actually rivals that of the Seventh Realm.

Yet Lu Xun passed through it so easily.

This let the President faintly understand why Lu Xun's combat power is so terrifying.

"Xiao Xun, this time in the next Heavenly Dao Battlefield, you're definitely going to be first again."

Not only the President, but President Xu also came.

Also, some of the great families of the Capital, upon hearing that Lu Xun had successfully passed his heavenly tribulation, all came to congratulate.

"Let's go, we'll go too."

Li Qingyang also prepared to go congratulate.

He has no grudge against Lu Xun, and being himself at the Seventh Realm, he would not fall out with Lu Xun over Liu Mei, his own grandson's furnace cauldron.

"Grandfather, you go, I won't!"

Li Chao, however, is very stubborn, unwilling to admit defeat.

Li Qingyang glanced at him lightly, then flew toward Lu Xun.

"The Fifth Realm's tribulation can't kill you, but the Sixth and Seventh Realm's tribulations you will definitely not pass!"

Li Chao felt indignant.

Even if he is unwilling to admit it, he must admit it.

Lu Xun far surpasses him.

Just from the tribulation one can see Lu Xun's strength.

Which Fifth Realm cultivator, when undergoing tribulation, ends up facing a Thirty-Nine Tribulation—a Seventh Realm tribulation—and finally even gets struck by a purple-gold lightning bolt?

Of course, Li Chao's mouth is definitely unwilling to yield.

But from his hope that Lu Xun would be struck dead by the tribulation, one can see that in his subconscious he already feels despair about surpassing Lu Xun.

Although,

His current realm is above Lu Xun's apparent realm.

"It's actually him... This cannot be a Seventh Realm tribulation!!!"

On the other side, Wei Guangyao is still doubting life.

The elders of the Wei family who pioneered in the Capital have only just reached the Sixth Realm, their insight not comparable to Li Qingyang, who is at the Seventh Realm.

So, Wei Guangyao still thought Lu Xun was undergoing a Seventh Realm tribulation.

"Not Seventh Realm, someone said Lu Xun is undergoing a Fifth Realm tribulation!"

"What, how can a Fifth Realm tribulation be a Thirty-Nine tribulation?"

"You forgot that Lu Xun practices immortal-martial dual cultivation, so his tribulation is definitely more ferocious than others!"

"My goodness, a Fifth Realm cultivator can actually survive a Thirty-Nine tribulation—is Lu Xun even human?"

At this point, the news that Lu Xun had undergone the Fifth Realm tribulation finally spread.

The observing cultivators were startled again.

To most people, Lu Xun's breakthrough to the Seventh Realm still seems too unreal.

Now, the Fifth Realm tribulation actually makes more sense.

Reasonable as it may be, the shock it brings is no less than Lu Xun's breakthrough to the Seventh Realm.

Among these cultivators, many still don't know about the Heavenly Dao Battlefield.

The Heavenly Dao Battlefield is not something everyone knows.

When one's strength is insufficient and their social circle is not high enough, they cannot understand these matters.

For example, many cultivators below the Fourth Realm.

Although internet information is well-developed, how many cultivators above the Fourth Realm actually spend all day online?

Moreover, there's also the existence of information cocoons.

"Turns out it's a Fifth Realm tribulation, roughly speaking... Your tribulation is so ferocious, you might perish when you reach the Sixth or Seventh Realm..."

Wei Guangyao now feels balanced inside.

But just thinking that Lu Xun might later be struck dead by the tribulation, Wei Guangyao instantly feels life is meaningless.

Like Liu Xinghe, Wei Guangyao still thinks about surpassing Lu Xun, rather than watching Lu Xun die himself.

Although to others, this seems somewhat overreaching.

But Wei Guangyao still refuses to give up his obsession.

His idea is to wage a protracted war.

In cultivation, the higher one's realm, the slower the training speed.

Now, at the Fourth Realm, he cannot catch up to Lu Xun.

Once he reaches above the Sixth Realm, the gap will narrow.

If it's above the Seventh or Eighth Realm, the gap will shrink further.

Wei Guangyao simply doesn't believe he will ever be unable to catch up to Lu Xun in the future.

On Lu Xun's side, breaking through to the Fifth Realm is livelier than others breaking through to the Seventh Realm.

Among the cultivators who came to observe, those at the Fifth Realm and above basically all came over to congratulate.

Given Lu Xun's current strength and status, it's not easy for a Fifth Realm cultivator to see him under normal circumstances.

Before he knew it,

Now he has already become a "big shot" in the eyes of many cultivators.

"One should conduct oneself like Lu Xun: if not making a sound, then stay silent; if one makes a sound, it astonishes people; if not flying, then stay grounded; if one flies, it soars to the heavens."

"Yeah, this is the carefree life I've been longing for!"

"How great would it be if I could swap places with Lu Xun?"

The cultivators watching the scene felt both admiration and envy.

"It's over, it's over, this time it's really over..."

In the crowd, some people turned deathly pale, as if they had lost their souls.

He is He Xiao.

Last time, Lu Xun took the opportunity at South Heaven Gate to publicly kill a Fifth Realm peak cultivator of the He family.

After that, the He family fell into silence, always hiding in the capital and not coming out.

They were waiting for He Zhan to break through to the Six Realms.

That way, at least the He family would have some confidence when facing Lu Xun.

Even if He Zhan gained an opportunity at the Ancient Road Node, wanting to break through to the Six Realms wouldn't happen that quickly.

But what happened afterward made the He family increasingly desperate.

Especially the matter of the Heavenly Dao Battlefield.

After the He family learned of this, it was as if their household had suffered an earthquake.

Everyone was frightened.

Afterward, the Lu Clan Group was established; the grand opening scene was also spread to the He family.

The He family became even more desperate.

Lu Xun far surpassed them in both strength and connections, far beyond the He family.

Even if He Zhan breaks through to the Six Realms, he still cannot compare to Lu Xun.

Although Lu Xun has no evidence proving that the assassin back then was hired by the He family,

if Lu Xun grows to a certain extent, then he won't need such clear evidence.

Therefore, the He family members have been panicking in fear all day long.

They all hope that Lu Xun will meet his demise soon.

But now, Lu Xun hasn't met his demise; instead, he has become even stronger.

Although it's only a breakthrough to the Five Realms, this level is enough to overwhelm He Zhan.

Even if He Zhan breaks through to the Six Realms, in He Xiao's view, he is still no match for Lu Xun.

At this moment, He Xiao's heart is filled with despair, and he regrets to the extreme.

If they had known today, they would never have provoked Lu Xun back then, no matter what.

"What, the Heavenly Dao Battlefield?"

"You don't know, do you? The Heavenly Dao Battlefield is the main event of the Ancient Road Node; Lu Xun precisely because he won first place there, when the Lu Clan Group opened its doors, that's why so many forces came to show support."

"Good heavens, even the Seven Realms have been suppressed by Lu Xun?"

At this moment.

Some cultivators spoke about the matter of the Heavenly Dao Battlefield.

Situations where large numbers of cultivators gather like this are actually not common.

Even if they gather together, they couldn't possibly talk directly about Lu Xun.

Therefore, some matters concerning Lu Xun have not actually spread among the general cultivator populace.

Until now,

because Lu Xun underwent his tribulation, causing these cultivators to come for Lu Xun.

Upon seeing that the one undergoing tribulation was Lu Xun, the discussion topics naturally became inseparable from Lu Xun.

Thus, Lu Xun's heaven-defying deeds in the Heavenly Dao Battlefield spread among the general cultivator populace.

"Too amazing!"

"My goodness, I originally thought Lu Xun was already heaven-defying enough, but I didn't expect there to be even more heaven-defying!"

"How can it be just heaven-defying? This is practically defying the universe!"

"I'm done for, I'm done for, I'm going to fall in love with him~"

As the news spread, the watching cultivators all exclaimed in astonishment.

Some female cultivators kept exclaiming, their eyes never leaving Lu Xun.

If gazes could materialize, Lu Xun would probably have been wrapped up like a mummy by now!

"Auntie, look, Lu Xun is so popular; if I hadn't acted early, the current Lu Xun would have nothing to do with me."

Chu Youqing and Murong Wan were also there, surprisingly.

After Chu Youqing's cultivation breakthrough, having not seen Lu Xun for a long time, she pulled Murong Wan along to look for Lu Xun.

But they couldn't find him.

Furthermore, hearing that someone was undergoing heavenly tribulation outside the city, Chu Youqing and Murong Wan came over.

As soon as they arrived, they saw Lu Xun.

Seeing Lu Xun become the dream lover of many female cultivators, Chu Youqing felt no jealousy; instead, she felt proud of her boyfriend.

Who wouldn't like such a boyfriend?

On the side, Murong Wan stared at Lu Xun, lovestruck.

Perhaps it's the transformation brought by the realm breakthrough, but today's Lu Xun is especially different.

His brow shimmered with undispersed spiritual radiance, his entire presence like a drawn sword—heroic and imposing.

Every movement he made bore an effortless, natural grace; even the faint smile on his lips was like a spring breeze brushing the lake, sending ripples through her heart.

Chu Youqing didn't notice in the slightest; her aunt had been staring at Lu Xun for quite a while.

Her gaze began to turn silky as she stared.
