Chapter 613: We must protect these starlight grasses well

He delved into training, constantly practicing his "Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation" to better grasp the power of thunder and lightning.

Time flowed bit by bit, Lu Yuan immersed himself in training.

Gradually, in the process of closed-door training, Lu Yuan sensed a fluctuation of a mysterious power.

He frowned slightly, concentrating his divine sense to the extreme, attempting to trace the source of the fluctuation.

Finally, in a corner of Thunder Ridge, he found the source—a bead emitting intense electric light.

"What is this?" Lu Yuan sensed something, carefully taking it out.

Floating in his hand was a treasure named the "Thunder Heart Pearl".

This bead was crystal clear throughout, emitting an astonishing energy fluctuation.

It is said to enhance control over thunder and lightning power and contain profound, mysterious essence.

"This is a good thing."

Lu Yuan gazed at the Thunder Heart Pearl, his heart full of anticipation.

He decided to integrate the Thunder Heart Pearl into his training to enhance his strength.

Su Liyan saw Lu Yuan holding the Thunder Heart Pearl and also felt that powerful energy fluctuation.

"This treasure can provide you great help."

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Exactly, I will make good use of it."

He resumed his training state, embedding the Thunder Heart Pearl into his dantian according to a specific method.

Instantly, a strong and pure thunder and lightning power surged into his body, as if merging with him.

Lu Yuan felt his ability to wield thunder and lightning power had noticeably increased.

He immersed himself in training, continuously absorbing the endless spiritual energy emanating from Thunder Ridge.

Su Liyan quietly stood guard beside him, a hint of relief flashing in her eyes.

The man beside her always strove so hard, seeking a way out within it.

Time flowed gently in closed-door training, Thunder Ridge gradually grew calm.

Lu Yuan finally opened his eyes, a powerful aura emanating from his body.

His strength noticeably increased in this round of training.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan left Thunder Ridge, heading toward Phantom Lake.

This lake is said to hide a lotus that can reveal one's inner wishes—the "Mirror Flower Water Moon" lotus.

They eagerly wanted to witness this legendary strange flower and exotic grass to gain more enhancement in their training.

Arriving at the shore of Phantom Lake, the two were shocked by the sight before them.

The lake water was crystal clear, reflecting colorful light, with dreamlike mist drifting in the sky.

The "Mirror Flower Water Moon" seemed right before their eyes, making them utterly enchanted.

Just as the two focused, preparing to explore further, a sudden cold wind struck.

Lu Yuan turned his head warily and saw a black-clad figure charging at them—it was a remnant of the Youhun Sect!

"How dare you intrude upon the territory of the Youhun Sect!"

"Today I will make sure you have no place to die!" the remnant snarled fiercely.

A flash of anger crossed Lu Yuan's eyes.

Unwilling to let anyone harm him and Su Liyan, he immediately launched into a fierce battle.

He gripped the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, his Shenqi agile as electricity.

Using the Five Elements Escape Technique, he weaved around the enemies, sometimes turning into ice and snow, sometimes into scorching flames, wandering freely among the Youhun Sect remnants.

Su Liyan then brandished the Cold Jade Ice Shard, condensing cold air into a ceaselessly dancing ice whip.

She gathered ice-system immortal power, and under Lu Yuan's command transformed the cold air into powerful attacks, extraordinary in might.

In the interplay of fire and ice, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan coordinated with extraordinary tacit understanding.

Thunder flashed, ice crystals danced.

The two fully exerted their respective strengths in battle, yielding not an inch before the powerful enemy.

After a grueling struggle, Lu Yuan successfully defeated all the Youhun Sect remnants.

Faced with the fruits of victory, they felt somewhat unable to catch their breath.

"We finally won."

Su Liyan exhaled a breath, breathing slightly.

Lu Yuan pressed his lips tightly, his brows furrowed.

"These Youhun Sect remnants are so arrogant; we cannot be careless."

Su Liyan nodded to indicate understanding.

They understood the remnants were only part of the forces, with a stronger black hand still awaiting them.

After readjusting their minds, the two began searching the lake bottom for clues about the Mirror Flower Water Moon lotus.

The lake bottom was clear to the bottom, myriad fish and shrimp slowly swimming in the water.

After an unknown time, Su Liyan suddenly discovered a giant lotus blooming in the distance.

She excitedly pointed at the lotus: "Look! The Mirror Flower Water Moon lotus!"

Lu Yuan also looked at the blooming lotus, seeing only colorful radiance emanating from within.

"We've found it!" he exclaimed excitedly.

The two immediately swam to the lotus's location, carefully circumventing the lake-bottom creatures.

When Lu Yuan approached the Mirror Flower Water Moon lotus, he felt a strange power permeate his entire body.

This is an intoxicating power, as if it could perceive one's deepest desires.

Su Liyan also felt the same power; she leaned close to Lu Yuan's ear and whispered softly, 'This lotus is said to be the best Fobao for cultivators to perceive themselves.'

Lu Yuan nodded, deciding to use the Mirror Flower Water Moon Lotus to explore himself from deep within his heart.

He drew near the lotus, quietly sensing the power contained within.

In Phantom Lake, Lu Yuan seemed to enter a mysterious world.

Everything was hazy and illusory, yet he clearly saw the desires and longings hidden deep within his heart.

On the lotus's bewitching, dewy petals, various images appeared.

At this moment, Lu Yuan seemed to be conversing with himself.

He understood many difficulties and challenges that needed to be overcome on the path ahead.

Everything became so clear.

Afterward, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan followed the clues to Spirit Light Mountain to seek a spiritual herb called Star Radiance Grass.

This herb works wonders in restoring spiritual power damaged by using high-level immortal arts.

When they reached the summit, however, they discovered that the Blood Moon Sect had arrived first and was attempting to destroy all Star Radiance Grass.

"It seems the Blood Moon Sect already got the news."

Lu Yuan furrowed his brow, his gaze fixed on the woman wielding a blood-red magic staff.

A flash of determination crossed Su Liyan's eyes: 'We must protect these Star Radiance Grasses!'

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement, his heart filled with urgency.

He knew well that only by strengthening himself and his companions could they better face the challenges ahead.

As the Blood Moon Sect's vanguard drew nearer, Lu Yuan suddenly planted his stance and gripped the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword tightly.

"Su Liyan!"

He urgently transmitted his voice: 'I need your support! We must join forces to deal with them!'

Su Liyan immediately raised her magic whip: 'No problem!'

"I will give it my all!"

Their gazes met, seemingly understanding each other's intentions in unspoken accord.

The Blood Moon Sect's people drew nearer, their eyes revealing a deliberately concealed arrogance. (End of chapter)
