Chapter 509: Breaking One's Own Limits

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes, carefully observing every detail of the allies and enemies clashing on the battlefield.

Only by personally witnessing the true situation on the battlefield can one better analyze the connection between Heavenly Initiation City and the Red Lotus Sect.

An Luofeng also stared intently at the battlefield, using her ice arts to the fullest to provide auxiliary support.

Her agile figure danced across the battlefield, freezing each nearby enemy one by one.

Feng Yi and Yu Yao each unleashed their signature techniques, fighting side by side with the city guard army.

Feng Yi attacked with arrows, flexibly dodging enemy strikes; Yu Yao employed bewildering arts, causing enemies to fall into illusion.

Members of the Netherworld Hall held firm to their belief in justice, understanding that only by confronting evil forces head‑on could they unleash their true potential.

They each unleashed their best skills, pressing forward stubbornly.

The battle scene was extraordinarily fierce, smoke and mist filling the mountain valleys, fire sparks scattering everywhere.

The city guard army fought desperately to protect the land from evil corruption, while the Netherworld Hall members tried to find clues in the chaos. Lu Yuan stretched his body, feeling as if his bones might fall apart.

He slowly opened his eyes, looking with satisfaction at An Luofeng before him.

An Luofeng smiled, walked up to Lu Yuan, lightly patted his shoulder, expressing her joy and pride at his breakthrough.

"Lu Yuan, you're truly amazing!"

"In this breakthrough of strength, I think no one can match you."

An Luofeng said admiringly.

Lu Yuan stroked the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand, smiling: "Thank you for your praise, An Luofeng."

"Now my strength has increased considerably; in our upcoming operations we will surely handle things with ease."

An Luofeng nodded in agreement: "Yes, we cannot let the Red Lotus Sect succeed."

"They wantonly violate justice and fairness, creating suffering and fear in this world."

Lu Yuan gave a wry smile: "Exactly."

"We must quickly find clues to Heavenly Initiation City to force him to reveal his true colors."

An Luofeng glanced around, then her eyes lit up.

She pointed at the thick spiritual energy surrounding the secret chamber and said: "Lu Yuan, look at this rich spiritual energy—we are certainly not the only pure‑hearted cultivators."

"Perhaps we can find more clues about Heavenly Initiation City here."

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement: "Exactly, the existence of this spiritual source secret chamber is certainly no coincidence."

"If we want to help the city guard army defeat the Red Lotus Sect, we must first understand their strengths and weaknesses."

"And in this process we ourselves can gain further improvement."

The two nodded at each other, then began to observe everywhere inside the spiritual source secret chamber.

They quickly discovered a small stone tablet hidden in a corner.

"Perhaps this is the legendary entrance that provides clues." Lu Yuan murmured softly.

An Luofeng walked up to the tablet, examined it closely, and found a pattern engraved on its surface.

A realization dawned on her: "Lu Yuan, I seem to sense immortal‑art fluctuations from this pattern—take a look."

Lu Yuan approached the tablet and wisely placed his hand lightly on it, feeling the energy vibrations on its surface.

He closed his eyes and began to channel his spiritual power.

Soon Lu Yuan began to chant, and several immortal arts emanated from him.

Threads of pure spiritual energy swirled around the tablet. After Lu Yuan and An Luofeng sensed the immortal‑art fluctuations on its surface, they glanced at each other, both hearts filled with anticipation and curiosity.

Lu Yuan slowly raised his hand, and five beads sparkling with brilliant light appeared before him.

This was the new immortal art he mastered through the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation—the Heavenly Initiation Immortal Pearl.

He gently tapped the Heavenly Initiation Immortal Pearl, sending it into the tablet.

As the immortal pearl entered the tablet, a bright burst of light shot out from it, as if triggering some mechanism.

"Crack!" a faint sound suddenly came from beside the tablet.

An illusory passage appeared, surging with thick spiritual energy.

Lu Yuan and An Luofeng walked toward the passage entrance, both feeling a mix of apprehension and anticipation.

After passing through the passage, they found themselves in Clear Wind Village, a desolate, ruined scene ravaged by the Red Lotus Sect.

The foul air hanging in the atmosphere made one feel suffocated, while countless corpses lay scattered on the ground, lives taken by Red Lotus Sect followers.

The villagers of Clear Wind Village watched from afar, eyes wide with anticipation for Lu Yuan and An Luofeng's arrival, their gazes revealing admiration and hope.

These villagers, long oppressed by the Red Lotus Sect, had long awaited a strong helper like Lu Yuan to lend them mighty aid.

Lu Yuan gave a slight nod, turning his gaze to An Luofeng, who immediately employed ice immortal arts to freeze the surrounding area.

The Clear Wind villagers saw this, their faces full of shock and admiration.

Having endured hardship, they already understood the power of immortal arts, yet witnessing such a shocking scene still stirred their longing.

At that moment, a group of Red Lotus Sect followers swept in.

They wielded sharp blades, drawing blood‑red arcs in the air.

Lu Yuan gripped the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, instantly turning into a lightning‑like figure, and activated the Five Elements Escape Technique to launch a magnificent, peerless assault.

He weaved among the enemies, sword light crisscrossing, bolts of lightning shooting off from the blade.

The Red Lotus Sect followers fell one by one, engulfed by flames and lightning.

An Luofeng suddenly unleashed a powerful ice immortal art; wielding the Ice Crystal Long Whip, she sent cold air bursting forth.

With the aid of the treasure pair "Cold Jade Ice Slices," she made the entire battlefield freeze in fear and shock.

Under the fearless bravery of Lu Yuan and An Luofeng, the Red Lotus Sect followers were swiftly defeated, unable to rally.

Seeing this, the Clear Wind villagers burst into applause and cheers of delight.

They truly felt the power of justice and the importance of faith.

After the battle ended, Lu Yuan and An Luofeng discussed with the Qingfeng villagers the plan to rebuild their homeland.

The two used the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation and ice immortal arts to set up, repairing one after another magical barrier in the ruined village.

The Qingfeng villagers, deeply grateful, expressed to Lu Yuan and others their admiration for their brave and fearless protection of their homeland.

Lu Yuan and An Luofeng deeply understood that their existence was to protect these weak lives. After receiving the invitation from the envoy of the Azure Heavens Holy Land, Lu Yuan excitedly walked into the temporary council hall of Qingfeng Village.

That was precisely the place where he, An Luofeng, Feng Yi, and Yu Yao discussed their action plan.

"Everyone, I have received the invitation from the envoy of the Azure Heavens Holy Land; they have organized a grand gathering, and many immortal arts masters will participate."

Lu Yuan said with a smile, "I think we should go."

An Luofeng lightly pursed her lips, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"The Azure Heavens Holy Land is one of the most mysterious and sacred places in Xian Jie."

"Being invited to participate in the grand gathering is a rare opportunity." (End of chapter)
