Chapter 453: I Have a Discovery

Lu Yuan, feeling excited and nervous, returned to the Origin Valley.

He hurried to find King Qi, Su Liyan, and Gu Qingwan, hoping to share with them his discovery in the ancient cave dwelling.

Everyone gathered together, Lu Yuan deliberately kept a low profile and whispered: "I found some important clues in the ancient cave dwelling."

His voice revealed excitement. King Qi and Su Liyan both knew Lu Yuan was a responsible and intelligent person, and they looked forward to this news.

"What did you find?" King Qi asked.

He was obsessed with achieving the goal, believing Lu Yuan would bring everyone good news.

Lu Yuan wore a smile, patiently recounting in detail everything he had discovered in the ancient cave dwelling to everyone.

"I discovered a miniature stellar river true domain belonging to the silver lotus flower, and there I felt an unprecedented energy."

"These energies feel like light and darkness coexisting; I want to master them."

Su Liyan's face showed delight: "You mean the silver lotus flower possesses two opposing yet intertwined energies?"

"That is, light and darkness exist simultaneously?"

She was imagining how to use these energies to enhance her ice-based immortal arts.

Gu Qingwan gazed at Lu Yuan, thinking about how to gain more benefits from this discovery.

"These two opposing energies—do you think we can use them against our enemies?"

"I believe we can."

Lu Yuan's expression firm: "But we need to be careful, not let the enemy know we have already mastered such a miniature stellar river true domain."

"They will stop at nothing to seize it."

King Qi nodded: "I agree."

"We must stay low-key and temporarily hide this secret."

"However, with this clue, we at least have a weapon to counter the Blood Moon Sect."

Su Liyan tightly gripped the Ice Crystal Long Whip in her hand: "I also want to master this weapon as soon as possible and push my ice-based immortal arts to the extreme."

Lu Yuan looked at everyone's confident expressions, knowing they were all giving their all to achieve the shared goal.

"Let's first continue to strengthen ourselves; only by becoming stronger can we face the upcoming challenges."

Everyone nodded in agreement, contemplating how to use this new discovery to counter the Blood Moon Sect.

They knew this would be a grueling yet eagerly anticipated battle.

After mastering the silver lotus flower's energy, they believed they were one step closer to victory. Xueying stood in the central hall of the Blood Moon Sect, demonic qi swirling around him like a bloodthirsty evil spirit.

Beside him stood a mysterious person whose entire body exuded a dignified aura, making people dare not look directly at him.

This mysterious person was True Lord Po Tian, who together with Xueying secretly plotted against the Youhun Sect.

Xueying coldly gazed at True Lord Po Tian, his eyes flashing with conspiratorial light: "Now that we have mastered the silver lotus flower's energy, the Youhun Sect will surely become our greatest threat."

"They have always been a hidden danger behind us."

True Lord Po Tian nodded, a hint of worry in his eyes: "You're right, the Youhun Sect's strength should not be underestimated."

"Especially that Lunar Moon Holy Maiden, her cultivation is profound, and she possesses a soul‑controlling technique that snatches victory from heaven."

Xueying snorted coldly: "Even so, after leaving the Red Lotus Sect and Lu Yuan's group in the Origin Valley, they are still weaker than us in perception arts."

"We can exploit this."

True Lord Po Tian frowned slightly: "You mean..."

"We should adjust our original strategy and take the initiative against the Youhun Sect?"

Xueying nodded: "Exactly."

"We will no longer wait for their moves, but take the offensive."

"The Youhun Sect mainly controls spirits, and curses and illusion arts are also their specialties."

"As long as we have countermeasures in this area, we can resolve them."

True Lord Po Tian pondered for a moment, then said: "I have a spell that can eliminate the power of spirits and convert it for our use."

"If we could bestow this spell upon all sect members, it would greatly benefit our fight against the Youhun Sect."

Xueying's eyes flashed with delight: "This spell is perfect for our plan!"

"Please start preparing it as soon as possible."

True Lord Po Tian nodded: "I will start preparing right away and contact people in the Origin Valley to help gather materials."

"At the same time, we also need to reassess the Youhun Sect's standing in the Xiuzhen Jie and their relations with other sects."

Xueying gave True Lord Po Tian a deep look: "You must continue to closely monitor the Youhun Sect's movements; we want to strike first before they act against us."

"As long as we eradicate the Youhun Sect, the Red Lotus Sect will be able to break free of its seal."

True Lord Po Tian solemnly nodded: "I will fully cooperate with your plan and ensure everything proceeds smoothly."

The two exchanged a knowing glance, both understanding that at this critical moment, any mistake could lead to total defeat.

They were determined to eliminate the Youhun Sect and secure victory for the Red Lotus Sect. King Qi was in the miniature stellar river true domain, surrounded by brilliant starlight, as if the heavens were glittering with stars.

He carefully stepped along the path of starlight, exploring this mysterious realm.

Suddenly, a thread of silver-white light emanated from the nearby woods.

King Qi curiously approached and saw that beside a small lake floated a silver lotus flower seemingly suspended in midair.

He felt a strong pull and couldn't help reaching out to touch it.

In an instant, the atmosphere by the lake shifted, the surrounding weeds grew wild and decayed.

"This is... the Ashen Power of the Silver Lotus!" King Qi's heart tightened.

The Ashen Power is a very special and powerful existence in the Xiuzhen Jie, having once caused great upheaval and destruction in the past.

Realizing the seriousness, King Qi turned to leave.

But suddenly a strange and terrifying black surge came rushing toward him.

He immediately employed his strong defensive technique, using the "Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel" to withstand this pressure.

"This ashflame power is truly too strong!"

King Qi felt the oppression brought by the ashflame power, and a worry rose in his heart.

After a few breaths, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan arrived at the scene.

They discussed countermeasures together.

"The silver lotus that has awakened the ashflame power is now uncontrollable."

Lu Yuan frowned and said, "We cannot let this power drag the miniature star river true realm into chaos."

Su Liyan gazed silently at the silver lotus, a hint of resolve rising in her heart, "I have an idea."

"We can have King Qi stay here to guard the silver lotus, while you and I go deep into the cave dwelling to seal it." (End of chapter)
