838. Chapter 836: The Aberrant Species Run Rampant

Among them, a young and ambitious disciple proposed the idea of joining forces with the Black Flame Sect, believing this would increase the attack power against Lu Yuan.

"We can't just sit and wait for death; we must take the initiative to attack!"

He said passionately.

Some other disciples expressed concern, worrying that such action would provoke greater trouble and might even plunge the sect into crisis.

"We should act prudently and not act rashly."

An elder disciple put forward a cautious opinion.

However, the young disciples were high-spirited, believing that only by pressing forward bravely could they achieve victory.

Finally, they decided to secretly contact the Black Flame Sect to discuss the details of cooperation.

Elsewhere, True Lord Po Tian and the Sect Leader of the Black Flame Sect were discussing a plan to join forces against Lu Yuan.

Both were wary of Lu Yuan's alchemy and talisman-drawing abilities, considering him a potential threat.

"Lu Yuan must be eliminated, otherwise he will bring us endless trouble in the future."

True Lord Po Tian said in a deep voice.

The Sect Leader of the Black Flame Sect nodded and said: "We can harness the wrath of the Youhun Sect to jointly deal with him."

"Once Lu Yuan is removed, our security will be guaranteed."

The two agreed on a concrete plan of action, preparing to launch a joint operation against Lu Yuan in the near future.

At the same time, Lu Yuan, Zi Xi'er, and their companions were on their way to the next cultivation site.

Zi Xi'er's expression showed some worry; she knew that the Youhun Sect's accusations against Lu Yuan could bring them trouble.

"Lu Yuan, what do you think we should do in this situation?"

Zi Xi'er asked softly.

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows, thought for a moment, then smiled calmly and said: "Rest assured, I will handle it."

The cultivation world faces a new challenge: the emergence of aberrant species, which pose a tremendous threat to both cultivators and mortals.

To counter this new threat, the Supreme Dao Ancestor dispatched a group of powerful disciples from the Heavenly Court to carry out the mission.

They wore splendid immortal robes, held spiritual artifacts, and exuded a fierce aura, displaying the might and dignity of the cultivation world.

In a mysterious divine wood forest, several cultivation disciples were patrolling the surroundings, vigilantly searching for any aberrant creatures that might appear.

Suddenly, a flash of red light streaked across, and a fire phoenix soared into the air, spreading its wings and flying toward them.

Several cultivation disciples immediately responded, unleashing their own immortal arts attacks in an attempt to drive back the fire phoenix.

"Be careful, its flame attack is extremely fierce!"

One cultivation disciple shouted a warning.

The fire phoenix launched an offensive, raging flames sweeping in and instantly turning the surrounding trees to ash.

The cultivation disciples dared not be careless, each activating their spiritual artifacts, turning them into flowing light to evade the flame attacks.

One cultivation disciple employed a water-type immortal art, condensing a massive water curtain to block the flames.

At the same time, in another place, the disciples dispatched by the Supreme Dao Ancestor were attacked by an underground giant scorpion in a valley.

From underground came a rumbling sound as the giant scorpion wriggled out, huge in size with a hard carapace.

The disciples immediately formed a formation, cooperating with each other, attempting to jointly resist the giant scorpion's attack.

A cultivation disciple waved his spiritual artifact, emitting a gleaming sword light that instantly pierced the giant scorpion's carapace.

"These aberrant creatures are becoming more and more rampant!"

One cultivation disciple furrowed his brows, showing concern for the situation.

The disciples of the Supreme Dao Ancestor each unleashed their secret techniques, turning into light and shadow as they shuttled through the mountains, engaging in fierce combat with the aberrant creatures.

Their figures soared in the valley, spiritual power surging, displaying the boundless strength and courage of cultivators.

After Lu Yuan devoted himself to cultivation in the Lei Huo Dan Ge for a month, he learned through the Detection Technique that the aberrant creatures in the secret realm had been eradicated and the spatial rifts had also been repaired.

This made him feel a hint of doubt—who exactly possessed such ability and what were their ulterior motives?

He secretly speculated, his curiosity about the outside world boiling ever more intensely.

At dusk one day, Lu Yuan stood alone on the summit of the Lei Huo Dan Ge, gazing far into the heavens.

The lingering glow of the setting sun fell upon him, reflecting his contemplative visage.

He gripped his Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword tightly, feeling the faint tremor transmitted from the blade, as if it were whispering his yearning for the unknown world.

"Lu Yuan, what are you thinking about again?"

A familiar voice sounded, breaking his train of thought.

It was Su Liyan walking up to his side, holding an Ice Crystal Long Whip, a cold aura flowing in the air.

Lu Yuan turned to face her, smiling as he said: "Yan'er, the aberrant creatures in the secret realm have been wiped out—what secret does all this hide?"

"I always feel there is a greater conspiracy behind this."

Su Liyan gazed into the distant sky, her eyes flashing with icy blue light, and she said softly: "Perhaps it is the intervention of the Supreme Dao Ancestor or other great beings; their actions are always shrouded in mystery."

"However, we cannot know the truth now, so let's focus on cultivation."

Lu Yuan nodded, his mind clear.

He knew he could not remain immersed in curiosity about the outside world; he still needed to cultivate diligently to better face future challenges.

Thus, he returned to the Dan Ge together with Su Liyan and began a new round of cultivation.

After Lu Yuan devoted himself to cultivation in the Lei Huo Dan Ge for a month, he successfully analyzed and set up a fifth-grade sword formation.

Standing within the formation, he felt the powerful sword intent and profound mysteries contained in the sword formation, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment and joy.

"The power of this sword formation should be able to withstand attacks of fifth-grade immortal arts."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with confidence and pride.

Just then, Su Liyan walked into the training chamber, saw the sword formation laid out in Lu Yuan's hands, and exclaimed in surprise, "Lu Yuan, you've made another breakthrough?"

"This sword formation doesn't look simple at all."

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, explaining, "Yes, this is a fifth-grade sword formation I recently researched, mainly used for defense."

"However, it still needs further refinement."

Su Liyan lightly patted Lu Yuan's shoulder and laughed, "You're truly a genius; every time you make astonishing progress."

"If we work hard together, we will surely become stronger and stronger."

Seeing Su Liyan's radiant smile, a warm feeling welled up in Lu Yuan's heart; he knew he had such a reliable companion by his side, which strengthened his resolve to move forward.

In the days that followed, Lu Yuan began to try researching a new-type shield-sword formation.

He secluded himself in the secret chamber, carefully studying the mysteries of formations, constantly adjusting the layout to seek the best defensive effect.

After months of effort, Lu Yuan finally created a shield-sword formation primarily focused on defense.

This formation combined his understanding of defensive arts with his insight into sword intent, condensing his painstaking effort and wisdom.

When he first successfully set up the complete shield-sword formation, a powerful defensive aura filled the entire secret chamber, making one feel safe and steadfast. (End of chapter)
