Chapter 553

One must know that for a spirit body like a sword spirit, although they were powerful, wanting to improve was extremely difficult.

Some sword spirits might not be able to get any improvement until they were annihilated.

However, at this moment, Huayu could feel Luo Tian's strength improve a notch with every swing of his sword.

Finally, after Luo Tian finished practicing his last sword move.

Boom!

A terrifying power was released from Huayu's body.

"Hmm?" In the distance, Luo Tian, who had just put away his sword, felt this power and was slightly startled.

He saw his mind move, and with a whoosh, he teleported in front of Huayu.

"She..." Luo Tian had just arrived when he saw a sword aura shoot into the sky from Huayu's body.

The aura on Huayu's body suddenly improved a notch.

Along with it, her appearance also changed, as if she had grown up several years in an instant.

"Whoosh!"

As the spiritual light dissipated, she let out a long sigh of relief, and at the same time, she was overjoyed.

She had actually really broken through.

Opening her eyes, she saw Luo Tian at a glance.

"Thank you, Lord!" Huayu immediately bowed to Luo Tian.

Seeing this, Luo Tian was stunned.

One must know that this Huayu had been polite to him before.

But there was always a hint of arrogance in it.

But now, her attitude toward him was completely different.

How could he know that his Heavenly Dao Sword Technique just now had completely conquered Huayu.

There was no other way; as a sword spirit, facing Luo Tian's sword path, Huayu had completely fallen into worship of Luo Tian.

"You... why are you thanking me?" Luo Tian was full of suspicion.

Huayu lowered her head and said, "I observed the Lord practicing the sword and had insights, which allowed me to improve my strength! Naturally, I must thank the Lord!"

Hearing this, Luo Tian was stunned and said, "Watching me practice the sword has this effect?"

Huayu nodded and said, "The Lord's sword path is the strongest I have ever seen in my life! Watching you practice the sword is a great opportunity for us sword spirits!"

Luo Tian said in surprise, "It can be like this? What is your strength now?"

Huayu thought for a while and said, "I feel that if I were to face the Thunder Dharma King now, I should have the strength to fight him! In other words, I am at the ordinary Immortal Realm."

Luo Tian's eyes lit up.

Just by watching him cultivate, one could improve to the Immortal Realm?

Then if he gathered a bunch of sword spirits and had them watch him cultivate, would he be able to cultivate a bunch of Immortal Realm-level sword spirits?

He began to secretly plot in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more pleased he became, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"Lord?" Huayu looked at Luo Tian and asked suspiciously.

Luo Tian then came back to his senses and said, "Well, okay, the matter of the Jibei Ice Plain has been cleared up, let's get ready to go back."

Huayu responded, and then left with Luo Tian.

She could be said to be obedient to Luo Tian now.

According to Lei Ting's memories, they found the teleportation array in the extreme north, then activated the array and returned to the Northern Region Divine City.

After returning, Luo Tian and Huayu simply recounted the matters of the extreme north.

Hearing this, the three City Lords were all shocked.

"The matter of that finger bone... is it actually true? Could it be that besides the Nine Extinction Tribulation, the Tianyuan Realm has to face a catastrophe at the level of an Ancient Great Extinction?" Shen Liangzhou said in shock.

Sima Tianchen also had a solemn expression.

The catastrophe in the Ancient Era was almost not recorded in history books.

After all, in that great catastrophe, the heritage of the Tianyuan Realm was almost cut off, and even the immortals of the mortal world did not survive.

This was enough to show the tragedy of that great catastrophe.

And now, such a catastrophe was showing signs again, how could they not be worried?

"Forget it, life and death are fated. Worrying about such things is useless. We should just try our best to do well. As for what the final result will be, that is not something we can control," Huayu said.

Hearing this, the three City Lords immediately lowered their heads and said, "Yes, we will strictly follow the orders of Lord Huayu!"

Suddenly, Sima Tianchen looked at Huayu and said in surprise, "Lord Huayu, your cultivation... has it improved?"

Hearing this, the other two also looked toward Huayu.

Sure enough, they saw that both Huayu's aura and appearance had changed somewhat from before.

Huayu sighed and said, "It has indeed improved a little..."

As she said this, she recounted the previous events roughly.

"What? You improved to the strength of the Immortal Realm? And... just by watching Lord Luo Tian practice the sword, you improved?"

The three of them couldn't believe their ears and all looked at Luo Tian in shock.

Huayu's breakthrough was indeed terrifying.

But Luo Tian, who could make Huayu break through, was the most terrifying person!

"Sigh, the Immortal Realm... when will I be able to break through!" Chu Jingtao looked up at the sky with a bitter expression.

The other two also shook their heads and sighed.

Luo Tian on the side saw this, blinked his eyes, and said, "Three, I have always had a question I would like to ask the three of you to help me with."

"Lord, you are too polite. If you have any questions, just ask. The three of us will tell you everything we know!" Shen Liangzhou didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Luo Tian and spoke very politely.

Luo Tian looked at the three and said, "The three of you are already at the peak of the Heavenly Gate Realm. Since you want to become immortals so much, why don't you just open the Heavenly Gate and ascend to the Upper Realm?"

After all, from the words of the Green-Shirted Ancestor, Luo Tian already roughly knew that the difficulty of becoming an immortal in the Upper Realm was much lower than in the mortal world.

Hearing Luo Tian's words, Shen Liangzhou smiled bitterly and said, "This matter is actually very simple."

"There are two main reasons why the Heavenly Gate Realm powerhouses of the Tianyuan Realm are unwilling to ascend easily. First, most people are reluctant to part with the sect or family heritage of the Tianyuan Realm. They want to stay in this realm for one more day so they can protect the development of the sect or family for one more day."

Luo Tian nodded, indicating agreement.

Indeed, in the Tianyuan Realm, if there was a Heavenly Gate Realm powerhouse sitting in charge, the development of the family would be much smoother.

Shen Liangzhou continued, "As for the second reason, it is because ascending to the Upper Realm is too dangerous!"

"Dangerous?"

Sima Tianchen added, "That's right, this danger does not lie in the ascension itself, but in the people of the Upper Realm!"

"The Heavenly Gate Realm is absolutely a giant in the Tianyuan Realm. A powerhouse of this level is enough to be honored as an ancestor and shake one side in the Tianyuan Realm."

"However, once you ascend to the Upper Realm, the Heavenly Gate Realm... is nothing! Many years ago, there was a senior from the Tianyuan Realm who went through all kinds of hardships to return from the Upper Realm!"

"This senior was the number one powerhouse below the Immortal Realm in the Tianyuan Realm back then, high-spirited and extremely majestic! He chose to ascend in order to break through to the Immortal Realm, but can you guess what he encountered after ascending to the Upper Realm?" Sima Tianchen asked.
