Chapter 88: Mo Xuan, you're not dead?!

Master! You're looking for me!

Soon, three figures appeared above Mu Hanyu's residence.

These three were the disciples she had previously taken in.

One male and two female, their cultivation levels were around the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Upon seeing the three, Lu Chen's expression underwent a subtle change.

It was nothing else; simply because the Empress told him that all three bore traces of the Pulling Technique.

"Traces of the Pulling Technique? I can't see any at all; the Yama Queen's methods are indeed terrifying."

"Looks like..."

He concealed his suspicion, and his expression quickly returned to normal.

"This is your new junior disciple, Lu Chen."

"Junior disciple, greetings!"

Simple pleasantries meant nothing to Lu Chen.

His sole purpose for this trip was to settle Mu Hanyu and secure his own foothold in the Heaven Continent.

After the pleasantries ended, Mu Hanyu suddenly received a sound transmission.

She entrusted Lu Chen to the three disciples, gave a few instructions, then left alone.

"Lu Junior Disciple, since the Master has given orders, you should train with us for now."

"Once you show progress, the Master will personally impart the cultivation method to you."

Listening to the senior brother's words, Lu Chen fell into contemplation.

He had originally wanted to find an opportunity to use the Pulling Technique, but it seemed there would be no chance to be alone in the short term.

However, since the other party had applied the Pulling Technique to the three disciples, he might also become a target.

If he could wait until that time, he might not need to expend his soul power.

Soul power is precious after all, and he relied on Soul Nurturing Pills to recover it in a short time.

Gazing in the direction Mu Hanyu left, he knew things couldn't be rushed.

Fortunately, being in the Orthodox Dao Sect, he could study some orthodox cultivation methods as a precaution.

He followed the senior brother to the sect's Scripture Pavilion, where many top-tier cultivation methods from the Heaven Continent were stored.

As a disciple of an Elder, he could borrow and cultivate without restriction.

Since awakening the Supreme Dao Foundation, he could basically say that cultivating any technique yields twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, even if it wasn't demonic cultivation, as long as the technique's level was high enough, he could try cultivating it.

After searching the Scripture Pavilion, he found a technique that he found somewhat interesting.

【Detected technique, Nine Revolutions Star Palace Technique!】

【Original effect: During cultivation, starlight shimmers around the body; as cultivation deepens, the starlight gradually condenses, until reaching perfection it forms the Nine Revolutions Star Palace.】

"Senior Brother, I've made my choice."

"Then let's return to Elder Peak!"

Having chosen the technique, he quickly followed back to Elder Peak where Mu Hanyu resided.

He cultivated through the night at his residence, yet never saw Mu Hanyu's figure.

However, he was not anxious, as the other party currently did not know his true identity.

Even if they did, he still had means to preserve his life.

So, for the next few days, he cultivated in peace at his residence.

Thanks to the effects of the Supreme Dao Foundation and Supreme Mystic Pill, his cultivation speed was extremely fast.

That day, as he was cultivating, the sky suddenly underwent a great change, actually drawing down a Heaven's Blessing.

"Quick, look! What's happening?!"

"Heaven's Blessing! I recall the last time the sect triggered a blessing was last year, right?"

Many disciples who were cultivating were drawn in by the phenomenon in the sky.

A scene similar to that before with the Nine Abyss Sect appeared again.

Several elders halted their tasks, came to the sky, and their gazes all converged on Mu Hanyu's Elder Peak.

"Mu Elder's Elder Peak? Could it be that her senior disciple's cultivation caused the phenomenon?"

"It seems Mu Elder hasn't attracted a Heaven's Blessing in many years, right?"

"That's really quite strange."

Including the elders, Mo Tiancheng was also drawn in by this sudden phenomenon.

He was chatting with Mu Hanyu in the Sect Master Hall.

"Elder Yunshu told us to go to Perfection Continent sometime later; she has already notified most demon cultivators at the Condensed Spirit level and above, including those from Crown Prefecture."

"Rumor has it they will conduct a material exchange, mainly to prepare for what comes next."

"Huh? What is this?"

The two were drawn in by the outside phenomenon and instantly discovered the location causing it.

"How could this happen?"

Mu Hanyu came out of the hall, gazing at her Elder Peak, her expression froze.

She and her three disciples have now all cultivated demonic arts, which fundamentally cannot draw down the so-called Heaven's Blessing.

"Could it be Lu Chen?"

She glanced at Mo Tiancheng, her form instantly vanished from the spot, and the next moment she was already above Elder Peak.

"Really him?"

Heaven Dao Blessing—could it be that he has gained some insight from his cultivation method?

She descended, seeing clearly the cultivation method Lu Chen was practicing.

Nine Revolutions Star Void Decision, a seventh‑tier cultivation method—only a few days have passed, and he has already brought it to great accomplishment?

Mu Han Yu was shocked, her right eye twitching involuntarily.

I had originally planned to use the Pulling Technique on him later; after all, I am about to go to the Zhen Continent.

Now it seems I must act sooner; otherwise, if I leave the sect, something might happen...

She secretly reckoned in her heart, then looked up at the strange phenomenon in the sky.

In the heavens, a beam of light appeared out of nowhere, shining down from above onto Lu Chen, who was cultivating below.

Demonic path cultivators, due to luck issues, almost cannot break through once they reach the Cave Heaven Perfection realm.

Unless, like Old Ancestor Yun Shu, one possesses tremendous means, otherwise...

With his luck, perhaps he could easily break the heavenly punishment when the time comes?

As the phenomenon gradually faded, Lu Chen's luck power increased slightly.

Mu Han Yu slowly descended, coming to his side.

Greetings, Master.

Lu Chen returned the salute, while keeping an eye on the surroundings with his peripheral vision.

If the other party had any ill intentions toward him, he would immediately employ the Pulling Technique or a life‑preserving cultivation method.

Get up.

Mu Han Yu smiled faintly, her gaze continually wandering over Lu Chen.

She suddenly curled a smile and said softly, 'Follow me to my dwelling; there are some essentials in the cultivation method—I will personally guide you.'

Having spoken, she moved, using spiritual power to bring Lu Chen flying to her residence.

She closed the door and had Lu Chen sit on a cushion at one side.

Try circulating your spiritual power... When practicing the cultivation method, you must direct the spiritual power to several fixed points, such as the Heavenly Pivot acupoint...

Although Lu Chen knew what the other party intended, he still complied without showing any emotion.

What a powerful spiritual aura—truly a person blessed with luck.

She muttered a sentence, her eyes fixed on Lu Chen as he cultivated.

However, the more she looked, the more she felt Lu Chen's aura was familiar.

How does it feel? It's becoming more and more like Mo Xuan's aura.

Her heart fluttered slightly, and she stepped forward a few paces.

That sense of familiarity rising from within grew stronger.

The jade whip in her hand suddenly trembled, and even the body‑protecting treasure within her shuddered all at once.

No, it's not just like it!

In an instant, she retreated several steps, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Mo Xuan! You're actually not dead!
