Chapter 1388

"Master, nice spear!"

Ji Fuyao couldn't help but praise.

She stepped directly into the air, her jade hand sweeping horizontally through the void.

"Swish!"

The spear ripped through the clouds, a crimson azure dragon roaring as it wandered the void; beneath it, an endless sea of fire instantly appeared, the terrifying power of the spirit fire seeming able to burn heaven and boil sea.

On the spear's body, patterns wandered like soaring flood dragons.

The Spirit Fire Dao blazed fiercely.

Ji Fuyao was very satisfied, "Thank you, Master."

Next, Ye Chen, Qingqiu, Yang Ling'er, and Fang Yuan each took down their own Spiritual Weapons and gu objects, began to activate them, their eyes flashing with Divine Light, feeling tremendously shocked.

They are now all in the Dao Void Realm; the power of the Dao Solid Stage is still far away from them.

"I have placed some seals on you; you can break them gradually," Lu Xuan said calmly.

"Thank you, Master."

Everyone said with a laugh.

Fang Yuan's jade hand held the Eleven-Revolution Inverse Fate Gu, which burst forth with brilliant golden light; its divine light never ceased, constantly opposing the Dao of Fate. She thought silently, "The Old Man Gu accumulated endless ages, painstakingly refining two ten-revolution gu, but Master refined gu bare-handed, elevating it to eleven revolutions."

Watching Master refine gu had completely overturned her understanding.

One must know that refining gu on the World Tree, whether it be her, Feng Kuangman, or the Old Man Gu, all must follow the principle of using gu to refine gu.

As for refining gu, there is a saying: "Even a clever woman cannot cook without rice."

Even the Old Man Gu needed to borrow favorable timing, location, and harmony, a large quantity of half-step ten-revolution gu, nine-revolution gu, and the aura of war, before successfully refining ten-revolution battle gu and ten-revolution sky-shattering gu.

But Master merely used Dao Resonance.

Just now, Master's Dao Resonance seemed endless yet just right.

Lu Xuan saw Fang Yuan's puzzled expression, smiled and explained, "Actually, my refining of gu is not like building a tower out of thin air. Fang Yuan, think carefully: what is the essence of gu?"

Fang Yuan said, "It is the Dao!"

Lu Xuan nodded, "So, I directly use Dao Resonance to refine gu."

Fang Yuan's heart was overturned by huge waves.

That makes sense!

But this requires how profound a Dao accomplishment!

If refining gu with gu, it is merely a gradual process, like building a tower; but for Master, it comes effortlessly.

That is the gap!

Ji Fuyao put away her spear, walked over and smiled charmingly, saying to Fang Yuan, "Fang Yuan Junior Sister, Master can refine gu with a single thought. We are still far behind Master. Master has given us such a great opportunity to rise; we must rise quickly to relieve Master's future worries."

Fang Yuan nodded with a serious expression.

Lu Xuan chuckled, "Alright, rest for three more days, then we will set out from the World Tree, cross the Reverse Flow River, and head to the Butterfly World."

Ye Chen, Qingqiu, etc., were somewhat anticipating, "I wonder what the scenery inside the Reverse Flow River is like?"

Lu Xuan lay on the Yan Chuang and began to rest.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, amidst many star seas, they were immersed in having defeated the Guile Palace, with humanity once again in control of the World Tree.

The great celebration began!

Commander Zhang Liao, Commander Yu Jin, and others also joined in.

They had waged war for endless ages; for a moment the fighting ceased, yet they still felt somewhat unaccustomed.

Commander Zhang Liao asked, "Yu Jin, what are your plans later? Lord Lu Zun will head to the Butterfly World in three days."

Commander Yu Jin took a sip of spirit liquor, "I also want to go to the Butterfly World to wage war; I've heard the situation there isn't very good."

Commander Zhang Liao drained his cup, "If we go there, I fear Dao Void Realm cultivators will be everywhere, Dao Lord Realm as numerous as dogs; that world is far larger than our World Tree."

Commander Yu Jin laughed heartily, "What's there to fear? Lord Lu Zun is here, what can happen? My family has been loyal and righteous for generations; all my ancestors died on the starry battlefield. In my generation, I have personally witnessed the shattering of the Gu Origin Heaven and the fall of the Guile Palace, which I consider repaying my family's generations-old obsession. I also want to go out and see the world. If I die, no loss; if I live, pure profit!"

Commander Ding Feng also burst into laughter, "You're right—if I die, no loss; if I live, pure profit! Moreover, once we leave, the commander position can be vacated, right?"

Everyone laughed loudly.

Ma Lan Hua, Old Man Yang, Zheng Dafeng, Jiang Rou, Kufan, and others also gathered together.

Old Man Yang took a puff of thick smoke and asked, "What about you? In three days, will you go or stay?"

Ma Lan Hua adjusted her cloud-like hair and said, "Of course I'm following Lord Lu Zun; wherever Lord Lu Zun goes, I go."

Zheng Dafeng pulled at his pants pocket, glanced at Ma Lan Hua, seeming somewhat timid, "The Butterfly World—there, the strong are probably far stronger than Dao Lord Realm."

Jiang Rou took Kufan's hand and said, "The world is so vast; I want to go see it."

Kufan's mundane Dao aura circulated; he still looked ordinary, "Okay, Rou'er, I'll accompany you."

These three days, Qi Chun Jing read in the pavilion.

"Plucking the wild vetch, plucking the wild vetch, the vetch also means halt. Said return, said return, the years also have no end. No home, no dwelling, because of the Xianyun. No leisure to start residence, because of the Xianyun……"

It has been a long time since I read so freely.

After being a general for so long, he still prefers being a reader more.

If we go to the Butterfly World, being able to read more books and teach more students would be excellent.

Qi Chun Jing's state of mind gradually returned to tranquility.

Three days later.

In the Weiyang Imperial Hall, everyone gathered.

Ji Fuyao, Ye Chen, Yang Ling'er, Fang Yuan, and others had long been ready, faintly carrying a hint of excitement.

Qi Chun Jing arrived; Commander Zhang Liao and others also arrived.

Old Man Yang, Kufan, Jiang Rou, and others also arrived.

Lu Xuan flicked his sleeve, and a mysterious spatial force surged, enveloping everyone.

In an instant, everyone appeared at the edge of the World Tree's star sea.

Xiao Qing rushed over and tightly embraced Lu Xuan, stamping her jade feet in the void, "Don't go!"

Lu Xuan stroked her long hair, "I'll come back to see you."

Xiao Shu also manifested, hugging Lu Xuan's thigh, "Lu Xuan, I can't bear to part with you."

Lu Xuan said, "Let the Summer-Winter Cicada keep you company, along with Xiao Qing and the spirits of the World Tree."

Fang Yuan left the Summer-Winter Cicada behind, letting it protect the World Tree.

"Hummm."

The Summer-Winter Cicada fluttered its thin wings before Fang Yuan, somewhat reluctant.

Xiao Qing secretly wiped away her tears, then returned to the World Tree's trunk, while Xiao Shu waved to Xiao Nannan, "Xiao Nannan, don't forget Xiao Shu."

Xiao Nannan said, "Mm-hmm."

Soon after.

Lu Xuan merely thought, and a huge ancient vessel appeared directly in the void.

"Hiss—"

The myriad Dao patterns etched on the ancient vessel flickered with light, Dao Resonance flowing through every space; the nine-story pavilions stood towering, each level exquisitely designed, magnificent and grand, splendid and gorgeous.

Ji Fuyao's beautiful eyes sparkled, "Master, this ancient vessel is far better than that leaky little boat of my third martial brother."

Chen Zhangsheng: "......"

Everyone laughed heartily.

No one could fathom the grade of this ancient vessel; every inch of it was crafted from heaven-defying star-forged material, surpassing their comprehension.

Everyone stepped onto the vast ancient giant vessel.

The giant vessel plunged straight into the dying reverse-flow Long River, stirring up endless waves.

Everyone stood within the ship's hold, looking around.

A gentle breeze lightly stirred Qi Chunjing's sideburns; unnoticed, his temples had already been stained with blood.

Lu Xuan asked, "General Qi, what are your plans for going to the Butterfly World?"

Qi Chunjing said, "I wish I could just be a scholar. But..."

Lu Xuan chuckled, "When in doubt, ask the clear wind. If the clear wind stays silent, then ask your own heart."

Qi Chunjing understood clearly.

Just as Lu Xuan's giant vessel crossed the Long River, riding the wind and breaking waves, several Longevity Tribe tribes lurked at the river's end; a gray-robed elder snorted coldly, killing intent flashing: "If Lu Xuan dares to leave the World Tree, then our opportunity arises again!"
