Chapter 833: Final Battle 313: Gu Clan!

In Qingqiu's beautiful eyes, astonishment grew ever stronger.

However, placing this matter on Master's shoulders is also reasonable.

After all, Master is invincible.

Soon after.

Lu Xuan stopped, placing the Dao Cultivation Sword in Qingqiu's jade hand, "All right, it is now a Nine Star Sovereign Stage spirit sword, enough for you to use for a while."

Qingqiu gently stroked the Dao Cultivation Sword, her snow-white neck slightly tilted, and she nodded.

Lu Xuan said, "During this time, you should also continue training in the Sword Qi Long Wall. The future great battle will likely come soon."

"All right, Master." Qingqiu said.

Shortly after, Lu Xuan left the Sword Qi Long Wall.

In Xiaoyaozi's cave dwelling, Mo Diaomao and the others remained unconscious.

Lu Xuan smiled, preparing to leave without saying goodbye.

Xiaoyaozi raised his head in a daze, and upon seeing Lu Xuan's back, he too became dazed.

"This back..."

He muttered to himself.

Lu Xuan's back was all too familiar, especially that Dao Resonance.

Faintly, in the Sea of Divine Sense, sealed memories were breaking apart, like a bolt of lightning flashing across his mind.

"Break it for me!"

Xiaoyaozi gritted his teeth, activating the Free and Easy Sword Intent, hoping to sever the Great Dao's shackles.

Crack!

The Great Dao chains showed a crack, and Xiaoyaozi faintly saw a blurry image.

One person.

One tree.

Extremely blurry!

In the next instant, he could see nothing again, the drunkenness surged once more, and he collapsed.

Soon after.

Lu Xuan brought Tie Xiongqiong and Tie Xiaoqing back to the God-Burying Abyss.

He merely moved his thought, activating the Heaven-Reaching Dao Pattern Power, and stepped into the Strange Realm in a single stride.

He only needed to operate the system panel a bit, and his aura almost vanished.

Lu Xuan's divine sense swept over, and he soon saw Xuanji Holy Lord sitting cross-legged and cultivating in the Strange Lake.

The Strange Lake was vast, like an ocean, stretching across the Star Sea.

Here it was pitch black, like an eternal night.

Within it lurked an aura surpassing the Nine Star Sovereign Realm, seemingly connected to the Upper Realm.

Lu Xuan had once tried to probe it, but his divine sense is now insufficient to peek into the Upper Realm.

It is obvious that the Strange Realm and the Upper Realm are closely related.

Xuanji Holy Lord wore a purple robe, her white hair three thousand zhang long, her flawless fair skin entwined with rich Strange Dao Power, her jade hand seals shifting, with obscure and intricate Dao patterns constantly flowing.

"Bai Li."

Lu Xuan's voice appeared in Xuanji Holy Lord's ear.

"Master."

Xuanji Holy Lord opened her eyes with some surprise.

Lu Xuan said, "Give me your cultivation method jade slip, and I will elevate its grade for you."

Xuanji Holy Lord immediately handed the jade slip to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan received the jade slip, quickly came to the starry sky outside the Strange Realm, and elevated the Strange Dao Scripture to the Nine Star Sovereign Realm.

He handed the jade slip to Xuanji Holy Lord, "Bai Li, continue cultivating here."

Xuanji Holy Lord nodded, "Master, Strange-Exterminating Old Ancestor told me that the World Tree's aberration speed is increasing ever faster; he estimates that the Upper Realm's command will descend not long from now. Then it will be the doom of all other beings in this realm."

Lu Xuan nodded, "No problem, I will intervene when the time comes."

Xuanji Holy Lord's beautiful eyes slightly furrowed as she asked, "Master, is the World Tree's aberration due to your intervention?"

She also knew what was happening outside.

After all, Lu Xuan sometimes comes to the Strange Realm; she knows Lu Xuan has already brought Ye Chen into the World Tree's interior to cultivate.

Lu Xuan shook his head, "It has nothing to do with me. The World Tree's ailment lies partly in the invasion of Strange Power, and partly in the Upper Realm's frenzied plunder."

Xuanji Holy Lord fell into thought.

Lu Xuan explained, "You can regard the World Tree as an ordinary spiritual wood, except that this spiritual wood contains the universe, forming a world of its own, with countless beings relying on it."

"But some beings have cultivated for endless ages, standing at the World Tree's summit, forgetting that they too are ultimately merely ordinary beings."

"They occupy the Great Dao's center, devouring its power, the World Tree's trunk can no longer supply, its roots have rotted into fluff, and thus the World Tree is sick."

"Besides that, the Strange Clan has invaded the World Tree. There are also the Gu Clan and other alien races; they likewise siphon the World Tree's power."

"Even as mighty as the World Tree, once forging endless prosperity, it ultimately, like a person, also experiences birth, aging, sickness, and death."

Xuanji Holy Lord curiously asked, "Master, what exactly is the Upper Realm like? How strong are the Inquiry Dao Realm and the Dao Origin Realm?"

Lu Xuan lightly said, "After crossing one mountain, you will see a great mountain in the distance; once you climb over that great mountain, you will find it is just so, but you will also have seen an even higher mountain."

Xuanji Holy Lord's beautiful eyes gleamed with starlight.

The Upper Realm is simply a lofty mountain.

There still exists an even more powerful weird domain there.

Moreover, there are also the Gu Clan and other foreign races.

She had also heard Gu Mie Laozi mention the Gu Clan; they are a race with a rather peculiar cultivation method.

Prove the Dao with poisonous insects!

Junior Brother Yang Xuan's Seven Transformation Karma Poisonous Insect was made by them.

However, the Gu Clan's traces are very hidden; unless they find you, it is hard to find them.

Xuanji Holy Lord asked, 'Master, that Gu Clan……'

Lu Xuan smiled, 'These things, don't think about them yet. The Gu Clan is just a bunch of rats hiding in the dark; they can't amount to much.'

Xuanji Holy Lord nodded.

Soon after.

Lu Xuan left Mysterious Lake, preparing to find Chen Zhangsheng.

And then.

In the Endless Star Domain, in an extremely hidden star sea.

Here lies a self-contained realm, part of the World Tree's trunk world, yet partly independent of this world.

A trace of poisonous insect aura spread out.

Several gray-robed elders were worshiping a huge statue.

The statue was a stern-faced middle-aged man, his features extremely chilling, giving off a feeling of indifference toward all beings.

Even the statue alone contains a terrifying aura of power!

Not even a High Star Sovereign Realm cultivator dares to meet its gaze!

Boom—boom—boom!

A blinding Dao pattern continuously lit up around the statue, shining as bright as a star river, ring after ring; soon, the statue was covered in many starlight Dao patterns.

Hiss!

The statue's eyes seemed like two terrifying bolts of lightning, slowly opening, emitting a captivating light, looking down.

A cold voice slowly sounded out.

"What disturbs me?"

Several gray-robed elders prostrated themselves, faces full of utmost respect and reverence: 'Gu Yue Laozi, the Seven Transformation Karma Poisonous Insect is broken!'

The statue's eye light suddenly blazed like a great sun, but soon returned to normal, calmly saying, 'It's fine. The Seven Transformation Karma Poisonous Insect being broken also means karma is fulfilled. With this power, even if Yang Ling'er returns to the Upper Realm, she cannot cause turmoil.'

As for who broke the Seven Transformation Karma Poisonous Insect, he had no interest.

This was also part of his plan.

After all, even in the Lower Realm there are heaven-defying experts!

It's just a Seven Transformation Poisonous Insect!

The gray-robed elder asked, 'That woman Yang Ling'er, should we kill her?'
