686. Chapter 684: Cooperating to Respond to Crisis

However, it is said to grow in a forbidden land, making it very hard to find.

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows, "Indeed, it sounds really hard to find."

However, I believe that as long as we search with sincerity, we will surely find it.

The Cloud-Piercing True Person nodded in agreement, "The equipment aspect is also important."

We need to possess enough magical implements to handle various combat scenarios.

He casually picked up a golden sword nearby and lightly waved its blade.

This is the newest immortal artifact I have obtained—the Golden Heavenly Thunder Sword.

It gathers the power of lightning within itself, and its might is extraordinary.

Lu Yuan's eyes flickered; he could tell this sword was not ordinary. "Cloud-Piercing True Person, you and I are both people who pursue higher cultivation."

We should help each other and progress together.

The Cloud-Piercing True Person smiled and said, "Well said."

If that's the case, Lu Yuan, I have a proposal.

"Please speak." Lu Yuan felt a stir in his heart.

"Rather than that, let us exchange and share the magical implements and treasures we each excel at, learning from each other." The Cloud-Piercing True Person's gaze was firm.

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yuan nodded and replied, "Good!"

I am willing to share my magical implements and treasures with you.

The two smiled at each other and began a novel exchange and sharing gathering within this cultivation-themed assembly area.

The arrival of the Rock-Splitting Venerable surprised Lu Yuan, who knew the Venerable would not come to him without reason.

Seated on a concealed stone bench in the Netherworld Forest, the Rock-Splitting Venerable's eyes revealed a hint of anxiety.

Lu Yuan, the difficulties I have been facing lately have become increasingly severe.

The Blood Curse Sect and the Fire Lotus Society have joined forces to pressure our Netherworld Sect; they seem intent on seizing our territory and resources.

The Rock-Splitting Venerable's voice was low and resentful.

Lu Yuan's heart stirred slightly; this news exceeded his expectations.

The Blood Curse Sect is an evil cult that uses blood sacrifice as its means, while the Fire Lotus Society claims to be able to wield the power of blazing flames.

These two forces are among the strongest in the cultivation world, yet they have now joined forces to deal with the Netherworld Sect.

"Rock-Splitting Venerable, may I ask what plans you have for seeking me?" Lu Yuan asked.

The Rock-Splitting Venerable gazed firmly at Lu Yuan, "I know you have mastered high-level arts such as the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation and the Five Elements Escape Technique; these arts will play an important role in responding to this crisis."

"I hope you can join forces with our Netherworld Sect to resist the assault of the Blood Curse Sect and the Fire Lotus Society."

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment; he understood that the Netherworld Sect is currently the weaker side, but he also realized that this crisis concerns not only the Netherworld Sect but also the balance of the entire cultivation world.

If the Blood Curse Sect and the Fire Lotus Society succeed, the cultivation world will fall into chaos and war.

"Rock-Splitting Venerable, I understand your predicament."

"I am willing to cooperate with you to strive for the maintenance of the cultivation world's balance."

Lu Yuan said gently.

Upon hearing this, the Rock-Splitting Venerable breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Lu Yuan's support was crucial.

"Thank you for your support, Lu Yuan."

"In that case, let us jointly devise a plan to deal with the Blood Curse Sect and the Fire Lotus Society."

The Rock-Splitting Venerable's expression was solemn.

Zi Xi'er approached the stone bench where the two were, saying, "As the elder sister of Ziyun Clan's patriarch Zi Cui Ling, I too am willing to strive for our common goal."

"I can mobilize my clan's strength and resources to provide support for our actions."

Upon hearing Zi Xi'er's words, Lu Yuan instantly felt a warmth surge; he no longer felt alone, knowing someone stood beside him in battle.

The Cloud-Piercing True Person smiled at the side and said, "Since everyone has expressed their stance, let us join forces to face this crisis."

"I believe that as long as we unite wholeheartedly, jointly utilize our respective magical implements and treasures, and formulate a reasonable plan, we will surely be able to control the situation."

Lu Yuan nodded, smiling as he gazed at the lush Netherworld Forest around him, "This forest harbors endless yin darkness, and it also provides us with a safe and concealed base."

"We will join forces to venture deep into the forest, using it as our operational base to develop subsequent plans."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Just as everyone was discussing strategy, a shadow suddenly flickered, and a figure lunged swiftly at Lu Yuan.

This person moved swiftly, wielding a sharp black dagger that exuded a murderous aura.

Lu Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately activated his defensive art.

A faint golden light emanated from his body, colliding with the dark lightning.

"Nine Revolutions Evasion Shadow!"

Lu Yuan let out a low shout; his whole body suddenly vanished from the spot, leaving only a trembling afterimage.

The sudden attacker named Ying Ren was greatly shocked, seeing that this young cultivator possessed such superb evasion skills.

He saw Lu Yuan transform into nine figures, and in an extremely short time he could not tell which was the real one.

Just as he was at a loss, he suddenly heard Zi Xi'er's icy voice ring out, "Stellar Gang Formation!"

As her words fell, countless star-like runes began to appear around Zi Xi'er.

These runes resonated with Zi Xi'er's intent, condensing in the air into a vast stellar formation.

"Boom—"

Ying Ren's dagger, lunging at Lu Yuan, slammed hard into the Stellar Gang Formation, emitting a piercing collision sound.

However, he was not greatly affected.

Indeed, not simple.

Ying Ren looked at Zi Xi'er with a hint of surprise; this young woman also possessed formidable strength.

Just then, Lu Yuan's figure reappeared at the original spot, a flash of cold light passing through his eyes.

"Do you think you can handle us alone?" the Rocksplit Venerable's voice suddenly rang out, "Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation!"

In the next moment, the stars in the sky glittered, several huge beams of starlight interconnected, forming an enormous Big Dipper Seven-Star Formation around everyone.

This formation, relying on the Rocksplit Venerable's extraordinary cultivation, was mighty and overwhelming.

Lu Yuan and Zi Xi'er stood on one of the stars, their power was maximally enhanced.

Faced with this luxurious and shocking lineup, Ying Ren felt immense pressure.

He could no longer bear it; his body flickered and he quickly fled the scene.

The crowd did not pursue further, knowing that under their formation Ying Ren could not possibly win.

Regrouping together, Lu Yuan panted slightly.

The Rocksplit Venerable looked at Lu Yuan and Zi Xi'er; the confidence and strength emanating from his whole body left him satisfied.

"Young man, your strength is indeed not to be underestimated."

"Cooperating with you is a wise move," the Rocksplit Venerable said solemnly.

Lu Yuan smiled and said: "That's only natural; only through unity and cooperation do we stand a chance against the Blood Curse Sect and the Fire Lotus Society."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After returning to the Thunderbolt Pill Hall, Lu Yuan once again immersed himself in studying the Burning Heaven Diagram Stele. (End of chapter)
