Chapter 1837: Searching for the Ruthless Empress

Lu Xuan smiled.

He had already sensed the aura of the Great Dao Bell.

"Boom!"

A huge ancient bell appeared in the depths of the void, its body ancient and grand, carrying an indescribable sense of vicissitude.

More Dao patterns emerged on its surface.

This was something Lu Xuan had not seen before.

They are brand‑new Dao patterns!

To know the profundities within the World Tree, for the Great Dao Bell, had already reached its limit.

The Great Dao Bell had not left the World Tree to go against the current of the Long River and draw power from other ancient Dao lineages.

Then the truth is only one…

The Great Dao Bell is recovering on its own.

Through the power of the World Tree, it lets its own Dao patterns evolve, or perhaps they are the once‑lost Dao patterns.

Lu Xuan spread his big hand.

"Bang!"

The Great Dao Bell flew to Lu Xuan's vicinity, emitting a familiar fluctuation.

Although it had not yet given birth to an artifact spirit, it had already given birth to spirituality.

Soon.

With the heavenly‑earth phenomenon produced by the Great Dao Bell,

Many ancestors of the Great Dao Sect also sensed the change.

"Boom boom boom!"

The ancestors of the Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Dao veins all rose into the void; the sect leader, the Misty Peak Peak Master, the Body Tempering Peak Peak Master, and everyone else entered the depths of the void.

"Lu Xuan, you're back."

The many ancestors and the sect leader all beamed with joy.

It has been a thousand years since Lu Xuan last returned.

Lu Xuan smiled, "First return to Xuan Qing Feng."

"Good, good, good." Everyone was very excited.

With a thought, Lu Xuan activated the power of the heavenly space, and instantly everyone descended onto Xuan Qing Feng.

The scenery of Xuan Qing Feng remained as before.

That thatched cottage, the caves where Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen once cultivated.

Everything was just like a replay of yesterday.

Everyone came to Lu Xuan's cave dwelling.

Lu Xuan briefly spoke about the matters of the Butterfly World.

The sect leader and others listened, feeling extremely tense and moved, "Lu Xuan, you've worked hard."

They knew that although only a few words came from Lu Xuan's mouth, in reality they were all extremely perilous.

The sect leader and others also commented on Lu Xuan's newly accepted disciples.

"Yang Tianming and Yun Zheng are not bad."

"I didn't expect you to also take Mr. Qi Chunjiang as a disciple."

"This is karma."

Everyone reflected on what Lu Xuan had said.

For them, the impact was too great.

Whether it was the Chaotic Star Sea, the Threefold Heaven Gate, or the layout involving Butterfly Moon, all were shocking to the heart.

Lu Xuan smiled and personally cooked.

He used the Ming Beast caught earlier in the Counterflow Long River as ingredients.

Cooking smoke rose gently.

The fragrance gradually drifted out.

Not long after.

On the stone table, many ancestors, Xiao Qing, and Xiao Shu sat down to eat.

"So delicious!" Xiao Shu's mouth was full.

The many ancestors also praised it without cease.

"Do you still want to go look for the true body of the Ruthless Empress?" the sect leader suddenly asked.

Lu Xuan nodded.

"The true body of the Ruthless Empress lies in the Burial Emperor Coffin, now drifting in the Counterflow Long River."

"There is also the lost Reincarnation Ancient Court, which sank together with the Ruthless Empress."

"The present Counterflow Long River hides many things."

He said, unconsciously thinking back to that year, the final battle of the Broken Universe, which shattered everything and created the present Counterflow Long River.

Perhaps it was the Ruthless Empress's plan.

Even if we cannot resist the invasion of the powerful ones of the Great Universe, we can only bury everything in the flow of time.

Know that the Ruthless Empress mastered the Reincarnation Divine Ability.

This is a power that even the Longevity Clan fears and envies!

Reincarnation represents hope.

There is still a chance to make a comeback.

It serves the same purpose as Dieyue's layout of the left-wing and right-wing worlds.

Ah.

Lu Xuan sighed in his heart.

The Ruthless Empress and Dieyue have both paid a great deal.

There is also the Giant Palm World, and he has not yet seen Wang Lin again.

Fragments of memory flashed; when he last saw Wang Lin in the Great Universe, her head of demonic hair dazzled the ten directions.

She is a woman full of demonic nature.

"Looking back at the red dust, not to become an immortal, but only for the Lu Sovereign Lord to control the arising and ceasing of fate."

She once boldly said that.

Such words, even the Ruthless Empress and Yun Zheng have never said to her.

But in his mind, his memory of Wang Lin is not much.

Soon after, Lu Xuan withdrew his gaze.

After finishing his meal, Lu Xuan handed over a large amount of cultivation resources to the elders and the sect leader.

Everyone was extremely shocked.

"The treasures of the Dao Fruit stage and the Dao Transformation stage are actually so numerous."

"Good heavens! These are treasures and spiritual weapons never heard of before!"

"This item can help this old one break through his shackles!"

「……」 -> Quote: "……" (silence). We'll output "……" maybe as is.

Lu Xuan promised to give a discourse for three days in the Never-ending Heaven.

"The Lu Sovereign Lord has returned!"

same as 81.

「……」 -> silence.

This news spread like wildfire, directly igniting the Never-ending Heaven.

During the time Lu Xuan disappeared, his prestige grew ever higher.

Lu Xuan is not only the savior of the World Tree, but also a 'divine spirit' in the hearts of countless beings.

Someone said Lu Xuan has become an immortal.

Someone said Lu Xuan has attained the ultimate Dao.

Someone said Lu Xuan is indestructible and immortal.

Lu Xuan felt both amused and exasperated.

Over the next three days, Lu Xuan sat cross-legged, in the depths of the void, draped in brilliant starlight, and began his discourse.

"The Way of Heaven reduces excess and supplements deficiency; the Way of Man reduces deficiency and supplements excess. The ascent of the Great Dao, the journey of primordial chaos……"

Countless beings listened, entranced and intoxicated.

Indeed, many evildoers of the Great Dao Sect produced heavenly-earthly phenomena and attained sudden enlightenment.

Now the World Tree is truly a great era!

Everyone holds Lu Xuan in utmost awe and reverence.

After the public discourse for three days, Lu Xuan returned to the Great Dao Sect to clear up doubts for many elders, sect leaders, peak masters, and others.

Everyone's gains were substantial.

Lu Xuan also went to see Ye Chen's parents, Wang Man and Qing Yan of the Fuyao Dynasty, as well as the Heavenly Fire Elder and Heavenly Splendor Elder of the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone, and others……

Everyone was extremely excited.

Looking back, they were once disciples of the Lu Sovereign Lord, fighting side by side.

All matters here are settled.

Lu Xuan stood tall above the void; Xiao Qing and Xiao Shu were somewhat reluctant to part, and Lu Xuan smiled as he patted their heads, saying, 'Next time we'll meet right away.'

"You lied to me again, hum, liar." Xiao Qing stomped their foot, "I will never believe you again."

Thus: "You lied to me again, hum, liar." Xiao Qing stomped their foot, "I will never believe you again."

Xiao Shu whispered, 'I still believe in Lord Lu Xuan.'

Many elders, sect leaders, and even the Great Dao Bell came.

Lu Xuan bade farewell to everyone and left the World Tree.

Xiao Qing suddenly said, 'But the formation you laid will bring the World Tree to descend near the Butterfly World; what will we do if we encounter powerful beings of the Longevity Clan then?'

Lu Xuan gave a mysterious smile, 'You'll know then; I'll arrange it freely.'

Xiao Qing gave a soft hum, and the peaks undulated.

With a thought of Lu Xuan, the power of the Heaven-Piercing Space surged, and his figure vanished on the spot.

In the next instant.

He had already arrived above the River of Reverse Flow, and the imprint of the Ruthless Empress appeared in his hand.

Begin searching for the Ruthless Empress's true form!
