750. Chapter 748 Misty Ruins

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement, tightly gripping the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand, 'No matter what happens, I will never let anyone harm Su Liyan.'

They were determined to continue tracking, to uncover this series of conspiracies and find Su Liyan's whereabouts.

In that desolate desert, they began a difficult and dangerous pursuit.

What they will face is a powerful and mysterious force, as well as the hidden shadows and secrets behind it.

Throughout the exploration process, Wu Xiong stood out with his excellent performance, ranking among the top, and consequently obtained a large amount of cultivation resources.

These resources greatly enhanced his cultivation level.

With the ancient sect relic exploration mission concluded, cultivators from the Red Lotus Sect, Blood Moon Sect, and various other forces departed with their gains, leaving Nanxun to return to their respective bases.

Lu Yuan and his companions also returned to Wufeng City with greater strength.

After returning to Wufeng City, Lu Yuan and his companions did not idle.

They immediately began intensive cultivation and training, continually enhancing their strength and combat ability.

In the Lei Huo Dan Ge, Lu Yuan organized a special training activity to solidify the team's teamwork and battle synergy.

At the same time, the Nanxun Profound Heaven Sect also sent elite disciples to cooperate with the Lei Huo Dan Ge in cultivating a new generation of immortal cultivation talents.

They brought the Nanxun Profound Heaven Sect's top-tier cultivation resources and secret manuals, providing Lu Yuan and his companions with more opportunities to further break through their own strength.

Wu Xiong was one of those receiving focused cultivation from the Nanxun Profound Heaven Sect.

With his outstanding performance and the cultivation resources he secured, he rapidly increased his cultivation level.

He not only solidified the original Heavenly Fire Great Law, but also comprehended a higher profound fire-attribute immortal technique, the 'Heavenly Flame Scroll'.

During a special training activity, Lu Yuan set a difficult riddle, requiring Wu Xiong to complete it alone.

This is a riddle concerning the mysterious immortal realm, requiring the reading of ancient texts sealed upon special patterns to derive the answer.

Wu Xiong faced a great challenge, but relying on his keen intellect and his comprehension of the fire-attribute immortal technique, he ultimately solved the riddle smoothly.

After solving the riddle, Wu Xiong felt a powerful energy surge into his body.

He realized this was an opportunity for a cultivation breakthrough.

Thus he immediately entered seclusion to cultivate, sensing a higher-level fire-attribute immortal technique amidst the flames.

Several days later, Wu Xiong pushed the door open; at this point he had broken through his cultivation realm, becoming a mid-stage Earth Wind Realm cultivator.

This breakthrough brought him boundless power and confidence, and filled him with anticipation for the future.

Although the ancient sect relic exploration mission had ended, Lu Yuan and his companions did not idle.

They immediately began intensive cultivation and training, continually enhancing their strength and combat ability.

The Lei Huo Dan Ge became an important place for their cultivation, with the entire hall suffused with rich immortal qi.

During a special training activity, Lu Yuan organized a mock battle.

He divided Wu Xiong, Su Liyan, and Zi Cui Ling into two teams to face off.

Zi Xi'er served as the referee to ensure fairness of the match.

This mock battle aimed to solidify the team's teamwork and battle synergy.

Lu Yuan arranged a series of tasks with increasing difficulty, requiring each person to fully utilize their strengths while cooperating with teammates.

Wu Xiong displayed astonishing combat talent.

In the mock battle, he flexibly employed the fire-attribute immortal technique Heavenly Flame Scroll, transforming flames into swords to attack opponents.

Su Liyan served as a supporter, using ice-attribute immortal techniques to control opponents' movements.

Zi Cui Ling exhibited excellent defensive ability, employing the Ziyun Clan's special fobao to block opponents' attacks.

After a fierce battle, the two teams ultimately reached a draw.

Lu Yuan felt very satisfied with the team's performance; their rapport and coordination had greatly improved.

However, just when everyone thought peace had been restored, a far greater storm was silently brewing.

It turned out that the ancient sect relic exploration was merely the beginning of the prelude to upheavals in the Xiuzhen Jie.

The hidden mysterious force behind the scenes, which had never revealed its face, began to gradually unveil its mysterious veil, affecting the entire continent.

One morning, Wufeng City suddenly fell into a terrifying darkness.

Dark clouds covered the sky, lightning flashed across, and thunder rumbled.

Wu Xiong and the others immediately sensed the abnormality and swiftly gathered at the Lei Huo Dan Ge.

They discovered that the Lei Huo Dan Ge was enveloped in a thick layer of black mist that could not be penetrated by any means.

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows, knowing that a powerful force must be at work behind this.

The Nanxun Profound Heaven Sect's ancient sect relic exploration thoroughly stirred up the Xiuzhen Jie, with forces from all sides flocking in, vying to explore its secrets.

Upon hearing this news, Lu Yuan's heart was instantly filled with strong curiosity.

He knew his strength had been greatly enhanced over the past period, and now he could handle most challenges.

Moreover, he sensed that mysterious items aiding his cultivation advancement were hidden within the relics.

Thus he decided to go explore it personally.

Although Lu Yuan was acting alone, he did not feel worried.

Because over the years, through cultivation and training in the Lei Huo Dan Ge, he had established his own unique combat skills and experience.

Moreover, the Lei Huo Dan Ge had Su Liyan, Zi Xi'er, and Zi Cui Ling as backup support.

After leaving Heavenly Wind City, Lu Yuan followed the guidance toward the ancient sect relic site.

He relied on his outstanding Detection Technique ability, staying vigilant throughout the journey.

He could sense the surrounding forces' contention for the relic, with some powerful cultivators also waiting nearby for an opportunity.

Finally, Lu Yuan arrived before a complex formation situated before the relic.

He took out the specific token he had prepared and touched it onto the formation.

Instantly, a shimmering light shroud swayed, enveloping Lu Yuan.

Upon entering the ruins' interior, Lu Yuan immediately felt strong spiritual energy swirling around him.

He swept his gaze around and found the area entwined with mist, strange and mysterious.

He knew that such ruins were rarely accessible, so every entry was fraught with danger.

Lu Yuan advanced warily, carefully selecting his route at each intersection and constantly remaining vigilant.

This was a test of his wisdom and courage.

At the moment Lu Yuan stepped into the depths of the ruins, a strong surge of spiritual energy wrapped around him.

Around him lay a hazy, illusory landscape, as if he were lost in mist.

He raised his gaze and found himself confined in a chamber brimming with restrictions, its walls inscribed with mysterious runes, rendering his divine sense unable to scout the exterior.

Lu Yuan furrowed his brow, understanding that this situation was out of the ordinary. (End of chapter)
