Chapter 959

Junior Sister Ling'er, what is a Dao Source fruit?

Yang Ling'er explained, "That is a place where the grand dao essences of the upper realm have accumulated and precipitated, producing a kind of Dao Source power, just like those grand dao essences produced earlier in the Desolate Ancient Flame Realm and the Equilibrium Star Realm."

However, compared to the Dao Source fruits of the upper realm and those dao powers of the Desolate Ancient Flame Realm, the former is like a vast sea, while the latter is like a drop of water.

Ye Chen suddenly understood, "Ah, so that's how it is."

Yang Ling'er continued, "If I also want to quickly return to my peak, I must devour these Dao Source fruits while continuously refining those heavenly realm dao patterns to reforge my own dao pattern."

Now her dao pattern can only communicate a trace of World Tree power, almost negligible.

She first needs to perfect the embryonic form of her dao pattern, then slowly reforge it!

Hearing Yang Ling'er's plan, Lu Xuan nodded, "Not bad."

Yang Ling'er asked, "Master, are you going to the upper realm this time?"

Lu Xuan lightly shook his head, "Not for now."

Yang Ling'er fell silent.

Ji Fuyao smiled charmingly, starlight reflected in her eyes, "Junior Sister Ling'er, don't worry. Even though Master is in this realm, he can see the upper realm as clearly as observing fire. We will do what we must; if needed, Master will intervene!"

Yang Ling'er slightly tilted her snow-white neck, "Mm-hmm."

Not long after.

Ji Fuyao and the others went to the thatched hut, washed the bowls and chopsticks clean, tidied up, then she summoned a few people from Qingqiu to each prepare a dish for Lu Xuan.

"Master, we've prepared several dishes for you, sealed with stellar power. When you're hungry, just break the seal; opening it will ignite spiritual fire, and you can eat right away."

Lu Xuan's face twitched.

How familiar these pre-made dishes are!

Tie Xiaoqing said, "Don't worry, I've been by Lord Lu's side, cooking for him!"

She is now Lu Xuan's little follower.

Wherever Lu Xuan goes, she follows.

When she's not cooking, she cultivates!

She has now broken through to the Heavenly God Realm!

While Ji Fuyao and the others were cooking, Li Ba and the others arrived, bowing respectfully to Lu Xuan and saying.

"Lord Lu, His Majesty wishes to go to the upper realm; could you first send us up so we may report to General Qichun Jing and welcome His Majesty?"

Lu Xuan nodded.

At that moment, a voice came from the thatched hut: Yang Ling'er said, "Keep it simple. Best not let the people of the Gui Palace and Gu Yuan Heaven know about this."

Li Ba said, "As you command!"

A moment later.

Lu Xuan flicked his sleeve, and an incredibly profound surge of spatial power flowed, transforming into specks of starlight that fell upon Li Ba and the others.

Boom!

Deep in the void, it tore open directly.

Li Ba and the others vanished from the spot, and in the next instant they appeared directly in Weiyang Heaven.

Everyone looked shocked, "Lord Lu is so fast!"

Such spatial attainment is simply heaven-defying!

They didn't even have time to blink before they were directly in the upper realm.

Li Ba immediately took out an ancient jade slip, probed it with his divine sense, and sent a voice transmission to General Zhang Liao to report the matter.

Not long after, Zhang Liao tore through the void and descended, bringing Li Ba and the others directly to see General Qichun Jing.

Qichun Jing wore a yellow robe, his face unable to hide his excitement as he laughed, "Excellent! His Majesty is finally going to the upper realm! Lord Lu should be protecting that primordial seed, so it's inconvenient for him to go up."

However, after His Majesty descends and reforges the World Tree Dao Patterns, he will unify Qingming Heaven and Yunlan Heaven.

As the saying goes, "What is divided will unite, and what is united will divide." The three great heavens should also be fully unified!

Zhang Liao was also somewhat excited, "General Qi, His Majesty said to keep it simple; how should we arrange things?"

Qichun Jing pondered, "Not bad! Now His Majesty hasn't recovered, we must not let the Gui Palace and Gu Yuan Heaven discover this. But it's hard to keep it from them."

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "Since His Majesty disappeared, the Gui Palace and Gu Yuan Heaven have long laid dao patterns in many places, constantly guarding against his return to Weiyang Heaven."

A flash of killing intent appeared on Qichun Jing's face, "Let the Weiyang Army prepare for war! Once the Gui Palace and Gu Yuan Heaven invade, we strike immediately!"

Meanwhile.

In the Great Dao Sect, within the thatched hut, Ji Fuyao, Ye Chen, Yang Ling'er and the others walked out.

"Master, it's already done."

Lu Xuan smiled, "Good. I'll send you up to the upper realm now."

Everyone felt somewhat excited.

Lu Xuan flicked his sleeve, and a mysterious power surged; spatial power like a vast sea swept everyone up.

Whoosh!

Lu Xuan pointed far away, and the heavens tore open directly, forming a spatial channel.

Within the world barrier, spatial gales surged!

Ji Fuyao raised her jade hand, "Master, we will miss you."

Lu Xuan smiled.

With a boom, Ji Fuyao and the others vanished from the spot, and in the next instant they had arrived in the upper realm.

Everyone curiously looked around.

Here the grand dao power is incredibly rich, far stronger than several major domains of the lower realm—by multiple folds!

Xiao Alang stomped his foot on the ground and laughed loudly, "Is this the upper realm?"

They saw the endless stars floating.

A single glance cannot see the end!

This place is far vaster than the lower realm.

The Milky Way shines brilliantly, vast and mighty!

At this moment, Qi Chun Jing and others had long been waiting; he had already ordered Zhang Liao and his trusted subordinates to monitor all of Wei Yang Heaven, and as soon as the Spirit Martial Emperor ascends to the upper realm, they would immediately go to welcome him.

Soon, his divine sense detected Yang Ling'er's aura.

That One Ice and One Yang Great Dao is incredibly familiar!

"Your Majesty!"

Qi Chun Jing felt warm in his heart, directly drew his long blade, and with a single slash, the blade energy like a piercing rainbow rent the void.

In the span of a breath, Qi Chun Jing walked straight out of the spatial rift, followed by General Zhang Liao and Fang Yuan and others.

"Your Majesty!"

Qi Chun Jing's eye sockets were slightly moist.

Meanwhile, Zhang Liao and the others directly knelt in worship above the void.

Fang Yuan looked at Yang Ling'er, holding the ritual salute, but did not kneel!

Just then, an abrupt change occurred.

Not far from Yang Ling'er, a heavenly-reaching formation pattern blazed forth, as brilliant as the sun, rising above the void; immediately thereafter, more and more dao patterns lit up in the starry sky.

"Not good!"

General Zhang Liao let out a loud shout.

This is the layout of the Guile Palace and Gu Worm Origin Heaven; the dao patterns they laid down can sense the Spirit Martial Emperor's great dao aura.

Now that Your Majesty has just ascended to the upper realm, he was actually discovered!

Qi Chun Jing slashed down with a single blade; the terrifying blade energy surged like a vast sea, shooting toward the distant dao patterns.

But it was useless!

Although some dao patterns were shattered, others transmitted toward the location of the Guile Palace and Gu Worm Origin Heaven.

Meanwhile, inside the Guile Palace and Gu Worm Origin Heaven.

Several terrifying auras seemed to awaken, a power that made everyone tremble; for a moment, the void quivered and the celestial arch tore apart.

The Guile Dao roared incessantly, a heaven‑slaughtering killing intent surged wildly toward Wei Yang Heaven.

And in the direction of Gu Worm Origin Heaven, the vast aura of gu worms blotted out the sky and sun, rushing in to slaughter.

In the Guile Palace's starry sky, the Xuanji Holy Lord suddenly raised her head.

For she sensed that a projection of Luo Jin Laozi's power had actually stepped out from his secluded cultivation, his massive form floating with red hair, his eyes filled with killing intent: "The Spirit Martial Emperor has ascended to the upper realm? He must die today!"
