Chapter 413
What, Xiao Xun has already learned the Instant Word Technique?
Upon learning that Lu Xun had mastered the Instant Word Technique, Old Master Fu was also startled.
Lu Xun only took about six days from when he started learning.
In just six days, he actually learned it.
How could Old Master Fu not be surprised?
"Hahaha, our Fu Clan has picked up a treasure."
Old Master Fu became even happier.
"Xiao Xun, are you leaving?"
Just that.
Hardly had the joy passed when Lu Xun came to say goodbye.
He had to go back.
The love poison had flared up again, and he had to counter poison with poison alongside Ran Bing.
"Yes, Grandfather, there are still some matters to handle in the clan. Our clan's alchemist is about to breakthrough to produce a fifth-grade saint-rank pill, and then we can help you refine a saint-rank profound vein tempering spirit pill."
Lu Xun said.
"Really? That would be great."
Old Master Fu was quite happy.
He didn't forcibly keep Lu Xun, but instead had Fu Yue and Fu Xue send Lu Xun out of Jade City.
"Lu Xun, this is really troubling for you. Father is preparing to enter seclusion to undergo the tribulation; there shouldn't be any major issues afterward. Once Lan Xing enters the Dark Universe Passage, you can bring Youqing and the others to the fortress to help with defense..."
"Okay, teacher."
Along the way, Fu Yue chatted with Lu Xun quite a bit.
Although he was engaged to the two women, in private Fu Yue and Lu Xun naturally did not interact as a couple.
Thus, Lu Xun left Jade City all the way, concluding this trip to the Fu Clan.
After returning to the Lu Clan Building, the first thing Lu Xun did was release Ran Bing, then use the love-inducing pill with her to counter poison with poison.
"Senior sister, Lan Xing is about to enter the node; hold on."
"Hmm."
After the passion, Lu Xun spoke softly.
Ran Bing buried her head in Lu Xun's embrace and softly hummed an "uh".
Although they were countering poison with poison, Ran Bing's consciousness was inevitably affected to some extent.
On the contrary, Lu Xun, with his strong soul and martial will as firm as gold and iron, had no major problems.
In the time ahead, Lu Xun needed to make some preparations.
He conducted a large-scale purchase and also had Master Ge buy him many things.
Some of these preparations were for Chu Youqing and Murong Wan, while others were for himself.
Once Lan Xing enters the Ancient Road Node, Lu Xun must find a way to go to Yao Xing.
Yao Xing is fraught with danger; even if Lu Xun can disguise himself with demonic power, figuring out how to deal with the Eighth Boundary Heavenly Demon King remains a major problem.
Lu Xun must make ample preparations.
Amid these preparations, half a month quickly passed.
"Xiao Xun, are you going to Yao Xing?"
"Yes, Uncle Xu, last time I was accidentally poisoned on Yao Xing, and I must go there to resolve it."
Lu Xun found Director Xu, wanting to know how to get to Yao Xing.
Each Ancient Road Node is basically located within a nebula.
Even a small nebula spans several light-years; without Lan Xing, reaching Yao Xing would be too difficult for Lu Xun.
Last time he reached Yao Xing, it was only through Barbara's banishment spell by chance.
Such a low-probability coincidence, Lu Xun did not believe would happen a second time.
"Too dangerous... but if you really must go, I can help you apply for a passage; indeed, there is a secret passage beneath us leading to Yao Xing..."
Director Xu pondered for a moment, then still agreed.
Lu Xun had previously escaped from Yao Xing; although Director Xu thought the risk great, thinking of all Lu Xun had accomplished, he wasn't overly worried.
Don't mention Yao Xing.
Even in the realm of the Ancient God, Lu Xun miraculously managed to escape.
"The Dark Universe Passage has appeared!"
A few days later, the Dark Universe Passage appeared hundreds of thousands of miles outside Lan Xing.
As Lan Xing advances, that passage is gradually growing larger.
Lan Xing is about to undertake another dark universe shuttle.
Upon leaving the Ancient Road Node, one will enter a new Ancient Road Node.
"Xiao Xun, Master Mu has finally managed to craft the Nine-grade Treasure Robe; try it on and see how it fits."
That very day, Director Xu brought the Nine-grade Treasure Robe.
Lu Xun put it on and it fit well.
Now he has greater confidence in going to Yao Xing.
After delivering the Nine-grade Treasure Robe, Director Xu hastily left.
Lan Xing is about to enter the dark universe, and he still has many matters to attend to.
Lu Xun, let's go.
Chu Youqing and Murong Wan finished their cultivation.
They prepared to go to the space fortress to participate in the defense.
Lu Xun brought them, and they arrived at Jade Balance Fortress.
This is Fu Yue's station.
As for Fu Xue, she is now garrisoned at a new fortress called Jade Void.
The number of space fortresses is not enough; added together they exceed a thousand.
Of these fortresses, those built by the East make up nearly half.
The names of the fortresses basically come from some names in Eastern mythology.
After more than ten hours, Lan Xing plunged into the Dark Universe Passage.
"How come there's another dark beast tide?"
Not long after entering the Dark Universe Passage, Lan Xing faced another wave of dark beasts.
"Strange."
"Could it be because we're about to enter the Golden Belt?"
The cultivators in the fortress couldn't figure it out.
Previously, dark beast tides occurred only after several intervals.
Now they come every time.
This truly baffles them.
"How fierce!"
Moreover, the ferocity of this dark beast tide is no less than that of the previous ones.
Fortunately, Lan Xing has become stronger than before; although it suffered some losses, it held up.
Lu Xun still acted as the firefighting captain, putting out fires everywhere.
Less than three years have passed since Yao Xing's attack, and the space fortresses destroyed by Yao Xing have not yet been fully repaired.
"This Instant Character Technique is indeed powerful."
In the process of providing support everywhere, Lu Xun tried the effect of the Instant Character Technique.
The Instant Character Technique is indeed powerful.
When cast in space, its effect is better than on the ground.
With Lu Xun exerting his full strength, traveling a thousand li in an instant is no problem.
This is not the full power of the Instant Character Technique.
The maximum power of the Instant Character Technique is currently beyond Lu Xun's ability to unleash.
His Instant Character Technique has indeed reached mastery.
But the problem is, Lu Xun's physical strength is not up to par; if he truly unleashed it, he would get injured.
Mastery of the Instant Character Technique is generally achieved after the Tenth Realm.
Lu Xun, with the help of the two women's return, achieved mastery early, which is indeed a good thing.
But his physical strength still cannot compare to that of the Tenth Realm.
As for briefly entering a time crack, that is likewise difficult to achieve at present.
One can only wait for further breakthroughs in martial cultivation.
For Lu Xun, he doesn't need to reach the Tenth Realm; a few more returns will suffice.
"If we could fill all the chaos cells with dark energy, that should be enough, right?"
Lu Xun guessed.
His God's Left Hand now has only a tiny fraction of its chaos cells filled with dark energy, yet it is already that powerful.
If all the chaos cells could be filled with dark energy, who knows how powerful it would be.
The dark beast tide is the ultimate test of a person.
These dark beasts come as if they were free, endless and frenzied in their assault.
If there is sufficient dark energy replenishment, participating in the defense now yields the best training effect.
It can test one's limits.
Chu Youqing and Murong Wan both gained a decent harvest from it.
Even Lu Xun reaps abundant benefits in such battles.
Of course, the consumption is also enormous.
This is also why some clans are unwilling to participate in the defense.
Damn, the constant battle consumes too much dark energy; ordinary clans simply cannot sustain it.
They also need to conserve dark energy to prepare for the upcoming node expedition.
After a full half month,
Finally, Lan Xing broke out of the Dark Universe in one go and entered a new Ancient Road Node.
"Wow, it's really beautiful."
The starry sky of this Ancient Road Node is extraordinarily gorgeous; not only are there many stars, but they also form belt after belt of cloud-like stellar ribbons.
Like a flowing river of light, sometimes like mist and clouds rolling, sometimes like jeweled pendants dripping, it adorns the entire azure sky as if it were an illusory realm.
"There's a situation!"
The powerhouses in the starry sky have no time to admire this gorgeous starry sky.
Because,
Just as they emerged from the Dark Universe, they discovered the situation.
In the starry sky not far from Lan Xing, a massive fleet was sailing grandly.
That fleet also evidently discovered Lan Xing, and its speed began to slow.
