Chapter 720

Fellow Daoist Ye Lang, what troubles you?

Ye Lang blinked slightly, never expecting Lu Xuan to drain that whole jug of strong liquor, yet nothing happened.

Even a Nine-Star God Sovereign wouldn't dare drink this spirit liquor like that!

However, he shook his head, not thinking further, but pointed downward and said, "A great battle is about to erupt; I don't know how many human powerhouses will fall."

Lu Xuan looked downward.

The number of powerhouses in the Strange Realm is too great.

Meanwhile, the combined strength of the human, blood, demon, and other clans' powerhouses barely matches the number of Strange Realm emissaries.

Ye Lang, drowning his sorrows in drink, said, "These blood and feather clans... and the demon clan are unreliable. The demon clan always stays aloof; today they likely won't lift a finger to help. And the blood clan once betrayed humanity, making them even less trustworthy."

"'Although all sides have now formed a temporary alliance, those not of our kind will inevitably have different hearts!'"

As he spoke, the worry on Ye Lang's face grew ever deeper.

"'Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan, where do you say our human race's future lies?'"

Lu Xuan replied lightly, 'Right before your eyes.'

Upon hearing that, Ye Lang chuckled, 'Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan, do you mean that in this battle our human race will win a great victory, march onward triumphantly, and finally charge into the Strange Realm to become Overlord of Myriad Realms?'

Lu Xuan: '......'

Ye Lang laughed and said, 'If only it were true.'

Lu Xuan smiled, offering no further explanation.

Ye Lang pointed at the various forces below, silently shaking his head, 'In the wars between the great domains and the Strange Realm, humanity stands at the forefront, and among humanity, sword cultivators are at the very forefront.'

"'The other feather, blood, and demon clans, though allied with humanity, are not of one mind.'"

"'I simply don't understand why they cannot unite like the sword cultivators. If all the sword cultivators of the Sword Qi River fall, it will be their turn next.'"

Lu Xuan smiled, 'So despicable.'

Ye Lang gave a bitter smile.

Lu Xuan gazed at the starry sky, where more and more cloudships appeared, and asked, 'If fighting truly breaks out, will these demon, blood, and feather clans contribute?'

Ye Lang sighed, 'Hopefully! Then my Sword Qi Wall will descend with a hundred thousand sword cultivators!'

A hundred thousand sword cultivators!

Ye Lang's eyes reflected the Milky Way, his body trembling, 'In any case, the hundred thousand sword cultivators cannot retreat! Even if the whole army is annihilated!'

Lu Xuan remained silent.

Not long after, he returned to the Sea of the Firmament.

Qing Qiu sat cross-legged in a plain white robe, still refining the Starry Sky Sword Dao, infusing new power into her two sword Daos.

Her cultivation broke through to the Seven-Star Heavenly God Realm!

The Azure Lotus Sword Heart blossomed above her Dao foundation, utterly pure, producing a great Dao resonance with her inner world.

As Qing Qiu's cultivation continues to rise, she will become even more terrifying!

Meanwhile, Yang Xuan continues to undergo the cleansing of the Starry Sky Sword Dao.

However, his Dao foundation remains shattered, and his true cultivation has fallen to the One-Star Heavenly God Realm.

Yet his lifespan remains almost exhausted.

Yang Xuan's body trembled, and clear tears continually spilled from his face.

Only because, the consciousness of his true self is gradually awakening.

He thought of Yang Ling'er, he thought of everything.

Half a day later.

Yang Xuan's true self fully awakened, becoming the last person to awaken in the Sea of the Firmament.

Ling'er.

Ling'er......

However, Tie Xiongqiong's obsession is too strong, still influencing him.

After all, that is a power of rules, and Tie Xiongqiong has laid plans for ten thousand years; how could he shake it off in a short time?

Yang Xuan looked at Qing Qiu and blurted, 'Qing'er.'

Although it is a feeling that was designed, it now resembles ten-thousand-year spirit wood taking root in his heart.

At this moment, Yang Xuan saw his own situation.

Dao foundation shattered!

Senior Tie Xiongqiong's Starry Sky Sword Dao continually scours his body.

His Dao foundation continually heals.

Tie Xiongqiong's voice entered Yang Xuan's ears: 'Yang Xuan, do you hate me?'

Yang Xuan's gaze was clear, without a trace of hatred, he gave a bitter smile and said, 'Senior bestowed upon me the Starry Sky Sword Dao such a great gift; how could I hate the senior?'

Tie Xiongqiong let out a soft sigh, 'Yang Xuan, you are still too kind. I admit, in this inheritance struggle, I have selfish motives, to fulfill my long-held wish and obsession from countless ages past.'

Upon hearing that, many memories of Tie Xiaoqing surfaced in Yang Xuan's mind.

Qing'er.

How similar she is to his Ling'er!

The happy have their own happiness, but the unhappy are always alike.

If one were to say, what obsession he still has now, it is to see Yang Ling'er immediately.

But his current situation is too dire.

The junior brothers Zhang Li of the Azure Sword Sect are all dead.

How will he explain to Master Hua Jieyu when he returns to the sect?

I have no face to face my master and junior sister Chu Youwei!

Yang Xuan's heart was filled with deep self-blame.

The only gain now is that I have received part of Senior Tie Xingqiong's sword dao transmission.

After a moment.

Yang Xuan's eyes showed anticipation as he softly called out to Qingqiu, "Qing'er."

Qingqiu slowly opened eyes, gazed into the depths of the starry sky, Lu Xuan nodded silently, and Qingqiu slowly rose and came to Yang Xuan's side.

"Qing'er, I have a request."

Yang Xuan's face was filled with bitterness.

"If I die, please take good care of my sister."

"If possible, help her find a good doctor to cure her icy cold ailment."

"My lifespan is short; I won't live much longer."

Qingqiu nodded and said, "I promise you. If you fall, I will bring Ling'er over."

Regarding this, they are unwilling to go ask the master.

If Master wants to do it, he will take action.

Or perhaps Master has another trick up his sleeve, not necessarily?

Master's thoughts are impossible to fathom!

However, Qing Qiu also noticed that Master quite likes Yang Xuan.

If so, perhaps Yang Xuan's fate will improve.

Thinking of this, Qing Qiu said, "Yang Xuan, my master once said, always believe that good things will happen. From now on, whether it's you or Ling Er, things will get better."

Yang Xuan's eyes were like a dim sea of stars: "Is that so? Will things get better?"

But Qing Qiu's words still encouraged him: "Thank you, Qing Er."

Qing Qiu nodded and went back to continue contemplating the sword Dao.

Lu Xuan took it all in; Tie Xiong Qiong repeatedly wanted to speak but held back, wishing Lu Xuan would take good care of Yang Xuan.

But for an existence like Lord Lu, he dare not overstep.

Simply, Tie Xiong Qiong let it be, thinking to himself, "Yang Xuan, my fortune has already been given to you; I dare not even imagine letting you become Lord Lu's disciple in the future, even if Lord Lu showers you with extra care, you will still rise against heaven."

A moment later.

Lu Xuan turned his gaze toward the Strange Domain Star Sea.

Xuanji Holy Lord wore a purple robe, sat cross-legged, her white hair stretching three thousand zhang, dark divine radiance surging over her, her aura reaching the heavens.

Her cultivation also broke through to the Seven-Star Heavenly God Realm!

Under the cleansing of the Strange Mystic Pearl, her Strange Domain bloodline has risen again!

Hun Shang Elder smiled and asked, "Bai, now the Strange Domain and many great domains are stationing troops in the Burial God Abyss; my star sea and Tie Xiong Qiong's will soon shatter. Then the Burial God Abyss will become the most brutal battlefield beneath the Sovereign Realm."

My Strange Domain will surely win; before this battle begins, you must rise! After returning to the Strange Domain, what do you plan to do?

Xuanji Holy Lord, lost in thought, heard Lu Xuan's voice: "Bai Li, let this old ghost write you a recommendation letter, to be sent to the Strange Extinction Ancestor!"

Upon hearing that, Xuanji Holy Lord's eyes lit up.

Master's idea is too wonderful!

That's equivalent to going to the Strange Domain and obtaining Hun Shang Elder's endorsement!

Xuanji Holy Lord immediately said, "Hun Shang Elder, I have a request."

"Oh?" Hun Shang Elder smiled, brows relaxed, "Go on."

Xuanji Holy Lord said, "I need you to help me write a recommendation letter, just stating my performance in this star field, etc., but do not mention that you know my identity."

Upon hearing that, Hun Shang Elder was stunned.

He felt that before Bai, he was just a raw recruit.

He was being manipulated.

Hun Shang Elder's face twitched.

Ah...
