Chapter 129: Lu Xuan's True Cultivation Exposed?

But Lu Xuan wore an old god's calm expression, light wind and calm clouds, which made the Martial Forge Great Emperor even more furious.

"I've never seen such an arrogant and reckless person!"

Lu Xuan snorted, directly taking out a formation plate—it was exactly the Nine-Star Emperor Rank Grand Formation rewarded from the last mission.

With a thought, the terrifying formation plate fell directly, transforming into endless brilliant formation lines, like a surging galaxy, directly enveloping the Martial Forge Great Emperor.

In an instant, everything was like a sudden stop of a violent rain, like lowering flags and silencing drums!

The Martial Forge Great Emperor was directly sealed in place.

He was stunned.

How could this blue‑clothed man possibly have a Nine-Star Emperor Rank formation plate?

Damn it!

Lu Xuan snorted, "What else do you have to say?"

The Martial Forge Great Emperor wore a ferocious face, "If you have the guts, let's fight fairly!"

Lu Xuan laughed, "Where's your face?"

The Martial Forge Great Emperor's complexion turned extremely ugly; terrifying power surged within him, and soon he would be refined.

After a moment, the Martial Forge Great Emperor changed color and said, "Fellow Daoist, I'll possess another person—let me out, how about that?"

Lu Xuan turned a deaf ear, looking at Ye Chen, "I'll take down this Bronze Ancient Hall's Dao Resonance for you. With your strength alone, you can't oppose it."

Saying that, Lu Xuan moved his thought, and the storage rings of many geniuses and monsters on the Martial Forge Tower flew up, heading toward Lu Xuan.

In a moment, many geniuses were directly pushed out of the Martial Forge Tower, falling to the ground.

Everyone looked bewildered, "Seniors, our storage rings!"

They had killed many yin soldiers in the secret realm; that's how they obtained this opportunity!

How could it just be taken away like this!

Isn't this just going to benefit Ye Chen!

Yao Huanhuan pouted, very displeased, "I think this is definitely Ye Chen's bad idea! This guy has a lot of tricks!"

The many geniuses of the Yao family: "……"

Other geniuses, such as Chu Yuan and Wang Teng, also secretly cursed Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, you're too vicious!"

And at this moment.

Lu Xuan took out from those geniuses' storage rings all the ancient jade slips given by external emperors to suppress the Bronze Ancient Hall, and threw all the storage rings to Ye Chen.

"Take them. Although they're just trash."

Ye Chen: "……"

Lu Xuan's spiritual technique shifted, directly activating the ancient jade slips!

"Hum!"

Hundreds of ancient jade slips emitted blazing light; a mysterious, obscure power continually flowed, containing terrifying "Dao" and "Momentum"; once this power appeared, it directly enveloped the Bronze Ancient Hall's Dao Resonance, forming a vast net.

Moreover, Lu Xuan's puppet consumed almost all its power, revealing its true form, turning into a puppet.

Ye Chen blinked slightly, "Master, is this your puppet doppelgänger?"

Lu Xuan nodded.

The Martial Forge Great Emperor stared wide-eyed, "How is this possible? Who exactly are you?"

Lu Xuan ignored the Martial Forge Great Emperor.

Not long after.

That strand of the Bronze Ancient Hall's Dao Resonance was absorbed by Lu Xuan into the ancient jade slips and handed to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen received it.

Just then, the system's voice sounded.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mission to help Ye Chen obtain the Bronze Ancient Hall's Dao Resonance!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining cultivation foundation!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining a Seven-Star Great Emperor Experience Card!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining a Martial Dao Seed!"

The voice fell!

A stream of pure spiritual energy surged into Lu Xuan's true body, making him feel tingling and numb.

"Not bad, not bad, I obtained a Seven-Star Great Emperor Experience Card!"

That way, as long as he activates it, he can instantly kill an Eight-Star Great Emperor!

Now he has two Emperor Experience Cards: a Five-Star Great Emperor Experience Card and a Seven-Star Great Emperor Experience Card!

Next, Lu Xuan's clone's hand produced a black seed that looked ordinary.

Only the size of a fingernail, yet it contains endless vitality, as if it could nurture a world, possessing the primordial "Dao" aura.

The system reminded, "Once the disciple refines this Martial Dao Seed, his Martial Dao will be limitless!"

Lu Xuan nodded, tossed it to Ye Chen, gave him a segment of spiritual technique, and had Ye Chen refine it.

Ye Chen took it, activated the spiritual technique Lu Xuan gave him, and refined the Martial Dao Seed.

"Boom!"

In an instant, terrifying Martial Dao power surged like a vast sea between heaven and earth, its immense might capable of ripping heaven and earth; that Martial Dao's overwhelming hegemonic aura was towering, as if it could crush everything!

This is the power of the Martial Dao Seed, directly piercing the Martial Forge Tower and producing a phenomenon in this small world.

Seeing this, the many geniuses on the ground were extremely shocked.

What a Martial Dao inheritance this is!

It's simply terrifying!

The complexion of Chu Yuan of the Supreme Mystery Sect turned extremely grim, "If Ye Chen obtains this inheritance again, his strength will become even stronger!"

Nan Chen of the Cangmu Academy felt unwilling, saying, "I never expected that this trip into the secret realm would make Ye Chen the biggest winner."

At the same time, a thousand li away, Chen Zhangsheng was also secretly watching this scene.

He was equally shocked, "What terrifying thing is this!"

He claimed to have wandered the Nan Huang for endless ages, yet he had never seen such a terrifying aura!

It is mainly because it contains the aura of the Dao, the primordial Dao's aura!

Meanwhile, inside the Martial Forge Tower.

Lu Xuan used the last strength of his wooden puppet, directly refining the Martial Forge Emperor, extracting his martial inheritance, and he casually glanced at it.

It is far inferior to the Wilderness Heaven Secret.

Lu Xuan directly crushed this inheritance with one hand, then said to the Martial Forge Emperor, "What trash martial arts! Martial Forge Emperor, you have cultivated for endless ages, and this is your level?"

The Martial Forge Emperor glared in anger, but now being controlled, he could only force a smile, "Dao friend, release me, how about that?"

Lu Xuan snorted, then directly refined the Martial Forge Emperor!

The Martial Forge Emperor screamed, "Which elder of the Great Dao Sect are you exactly?"

Lu Xuan said nothing, but Ye Chen's lips curled slightly, "Great Dao Sect, Xuan Qing Feng, Lu Xuan."

The Martial Forge Emperor snarled, "Are you a Nine-Star Emperor?"

Ye Chen shook his head and said slowly, "My master's cultivation penetrates heaven and earth, he is already invincible! He stands at the pinnacle, looking down on all beings! Only a Nine-Star Emperor might be worthy to see my master!"

The sound fell!

The Martial Forge Emperor forgot the pain, standing stiffly in place.

Invincible?

Who dares call themselves invincible? Who dares claim to be undefeated!

The Martial Forge Emperor sneered, "Could your master be the founding ancestor of the Great Dao Sect? Perhaps only the founding ancestor of the Great Dao Sect could be called invincible, but after the long years following the battle between the Great Dao Sect and the Supreme Mystery Sect, the founding ancestor of the Great Dao Sect has had no news."

This time, even Ye Chen was stunned.

Wait.

Is his master really the founding ancestor of the Great Dao Sect?

You should know, according to outside rumors, in the ancient era, the Great Dao Sect and the Supreme Mystery Sect fought for the supreme position of Nan Huang; that battle shattered heaven and earth, rivers of blood flowed; finally, the founding ancestor of the Great Dao Sect chose compromise, gave up the supreme position, and then disappeared……

Ye Chen looked at Lu Xuan, "Master, are you the founding ancestor of the Great Dao Sect?"

Lu Xuan looked speechless.

The Martial Forge Emperor and Ye Chen, these two people.

Indeed, one dares to speak, the other dares to believe!

After a moment, Lu Xuan patted Ye Chen's head, "No. Next, you will refine this martial seed. I will refine the Martial Forge Emperor."

Seeing his own death imminent, the Martial Forge Emperor immediately began cursing.

"Lu Xuan, if you have the guts, let me out for a fair fight!"

"You coward!"

Lu Xuan directly sealed the Martial Forge Emperor's mouth.

……

Meanwhile, far away a thousand li, Chen Zhangsheng's expression was extremely solemn.

That force just now made a flash of lightning cross his mind……

It must be Ye Chen's master who made a move!

He wanted to deduce it.

Just who exactly is Ye Chen's master?

Which fellow cultivator of the Great Dao Sect is he?

He took out an ancient tortoise shell, began to divine the situation of the blue-clothed man; the talismans in his hand shifted, countless obscure forces flowed over the ancient tortoise shell.

In an instant, mysterious qi surged continuously, and divine radiance emanated from his surroundings.

Layer after layer of spiritual patterns appeared.

Heaven, Earth, Thunder, Wind, Water, Mountain, Fire, Marsh!

After a moment, looking at the divination, he was stunned.

Holy shit!

Ye Chen only has one master…… that means the White-Robed Emperor is Lu Xuan, and Lu Xuan is the White-Robed Emperor!

Chen Zhangsheng was utterly stunned!

After a long while, he finally reacted.

Lu Xuan has been hiding his cultivation all along!?

In fact, he is not a waste at all, but he has been pretending to be at the Qi Refining stage.

Pa!

Chen Zhangsheng clapped his hands, as if he had caught a whiff of conspiracy.

Lu Xuan is simply a genius!

By posing as a Qi Refining practitioner, Lu Xuan can avoid many sect duties, after all, in a sect like the Great Dao Sect, peak masters have to consider many matters and must obey the orders of numerous elders and the sect leader to carry out sect tasks!

Furthermore, Lu Xuan merely bears a bad reputation, yet no one pays attention to him; he can do whatever he wants and go wherever he wishes!

Thirdly, Lu Xuan lies around on Xuan Qing Feng all day, doing nothing, eating and drinking; now he has taken two heaven-defying disciples, and has received even more care from the ancestors and sect leader.

Lu Xuan truly is "invincible" now!

Most importantly, he, a Qi Refining practitioner…… doesn't need to take the blame!

My goodness! Lu Xuan is simply too heaven-defying!

Chen Zhangsheng exclaimed in surprise.

Besides that, he could list a hundred thousand benefits of Lu Xuan pretending to be at the Qi Refining stage.

Chen Zhangsheng couldn't help but retort, "You're way too shameless, Lu Xuan!"

He could now imagine Lu Xuan lying in his cave dwelling all day, secretly cultivating, silently increasing his cultivation, yet the entire Nan Huang thought he was at the Qi Refining stage.

As for all this, why does Lu Xuan still want to become stronger?

It's simple: a man's obsession is to become stronger.

If you don't want to become stronger, then you're not a man…

Chen Zhangsheng instantly felt that, compared to Lu Xuan, this steady way, this sneaky way, was off by a hundred thousand eight thousand miles!

In this world, why are there people so sneaky?

He, however, day and night avoids karma, staying far from it, exhausting his mind all day, unable to sleep well, and who knows how many years he hasn't enjoyed himself, but this guy Lu Xuan, despite being in the midst of great karma, remains calm and carefree!

Heaven-defying!

Unbelievable!

This round, he's on the first level, while Lu Xuan is on the ten-thousandth level!

The more Chen Zhangsheng thought about it, the more excited he became, but also the angrier he got!

He truly admires him.

No.

The Three Thousand Great Dao!

This niche path of the steady way and the sneaky way, must they compete with him for supreme opportunity?

He would call Lu Xuan a god!

Chen Zhangsheng immediately took out a jade slip and began to examine it.

This contains some information about Lu Xuan.

Chen Zhangsheng read and analyzed it.

"Lu Xuan, male, when he was young was picked up by the Xuan Qing Saint and taken as a disciple; however, Lu Xuan's cultivation talent was poor, so he remained at the Qi Refining stage. Years later, when the Xuan Qing Saint was carrying out a sect mission, he was severely injured. Years later, he passed away via body dissolution, passing the position of Peak Master of Xuan Qing Peak to Lu Xuan..."

"In the following seven years, Lu Xuan basically took on no disciples; whenever there was a major upheaval in Nan Huang, many overlord-level forces gathered, and Lu Xuan would be mocked each time, and thus the nickname 'Waste Peak Master' spread throughout Nan Huang."

"In Nan Huang, you may not have heard of the Cang Xuan Old Ancestor, nor of the Yuan Qingzi, but you have surely heard Lu Xuan's story! This is a worthless peak master! Numerous powers repeatedly warn their geniuses: if you join the Great Dao Sect, you must absolutely not become Lu Xuan's disciple, or else your life will be ruined!"

"Then, after seven years of taking no disciples, when he does take disciples, they are heaven-defying! Yet Lu Xuan's strength has never been doubted..."

A moment later.

Chen Zhangsheng put away the jade slip, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Pa pa pa!"

He clapped excitedly!

Wonderful, wonderful!

It's rare to meet such a fellow traveler on the "sneaky way" and the "steady way"!

Amazing!

Chen Zhangsheng, unable to contain his excitement, muttered, "Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan, since the Xuan Qing Saint passed away, there's no one left to verify his strength—who knows how powerful he is? However, people like Ye Chen and Ji Fuyao, these individuals of great fortune, are still drawn by the mysterious power on Lu Xuan's body and then become his disciples!"

He stared fixedly at Ye Chen a thousand li away and muttered, "Look, Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan does this—even if his disciples reveal their cards and Lu Xuan reveals his own, no one believes! Even if Lu Xuan stands before the people of Nan Huang and displays his strength, no one believes! Because this guy Lu Xuan has fabricated a false identity for himself—that he is the hidden figure behind Ye Chen and Ji Fuyao!"

He sighed softly, his admiration for Lu Xuan simply beyond words.

"The greatest hidden ones dwell in the city! I and Lu Xuan still have a gap—this is something even novels wouldn't dare write..."

Chen Zhangsheng sighed, "I just don't know which supreme giant of Nan Huang Lu Xuan is, nor why he used the Xuan Qing Saint's hand to join the Great Dao Sect—what is his intention..."

He fell into contemplation.

One problem leads to countless problems; his head is swollen now.

……

In the underground palace, within the Martial Forge Tower.

The Martial Forge Emperor has already been refined.

Ye Chen, while refining the Martial Dao Seed, his Wilderness Heaven Secret began to operate on its own.

……
