Chapter 839: then title translation

839. Chapter 837 The meeting had just started halfway when they broke into a fight.

"The defensive power of this shield-sword formation should be able to rival a sixth-grade immortal art."

Lu Yuan clenched his fists excitedly, his eyes flashing with excitement.

The turmoil of demonic beasts in the mountain range outside Heavenly Wind City had subsided, but the Xiuzhen Jie remained restless.

Lu Yuan decided to craft a new natal Fobao to enhance his strength, making up for his attribute deficiencies.

He deeply understood that in this tumultuous era, cultivators must continuously increase their strength to remain invincible.

After several days of careful planning and preparation, Lu Yuan began the refinement process of his natal Fobao, the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword.

This was an extremely complex and difficult task, requiring superb skill and profound cultivation.

During the refinement process, every step was filled with challenges and tests.

Lu Yuan persistently poured his heart and effort into it, deciding to use his own mystic power to replace the traditional essence blood and soul separation steps; this was a bold attempt and also an extreme test of his cultivation.

He fully understood the risks, but for a powerful natal Fobao, he was willing to bear everything.

During the refinement process, he experienced countless failures and setbacks, yet he never gave up.

Each failure made his resolve firmer and drove him to seek breakthrough methods more earnestly.

Finally, after much painstaking thought, he found the key to breakthrough and successfully refined a high-grade upper-grade natal Fobao, the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword.

When he held this sword flashing with thunderfire light, feeling the immense power and scorching aura emanating from the blade, a sudden surge of excitement and joy welled up in his heart.

This sword represented his growth and increase in strength, and was also a symbol of his relentless pursuit of power.

Inside Lei Huo Dan Ge, Lu Yuan did not cease his cultivation and research.

He constantly sought how to exhaust his mystic power to the limit to break through his current realm.

In the secret chamber, he sat in silent closed-door cultivation, immersed in exploring the path of cultivation, continually attempting to surpass his own limits.

Inside Lei Huo Dan Ge, cultivators exchanged their latest cultivation achievements enthusiastically, comparing each other's progress.

Lu Yuan sat in the chief seat, smiling as he observed everyone's expressions, secretly feeling gratified for their efforts.

Since Lu Yuan successfully set up the five-grade sword formation and shield-sword formation, his prestige within the sect grew daily, and the sect's strength was significantly enhanced.

Lu Yuan looked around and saw Su Liyan busy helping a cultivator adjust his cultivation state, so he gestured for her to summon Zi Cui Ling to the meeting.

As the head of the Ziyun Clan, Zi Cui Ling's opinions and support were crucial to the development of Lei Huo Dan Ge.

However, Zi Cui Ling did not come immediately; instead, she chose to join the meeting a little later.

Lu Yuan was not impatient, sensing she must have her reasons, so he patiently waited until everyone had gathered in the main hall before he spoke to start the meeting.

"Everyone, now is a critical period for the growth and strengthening of Lei Huo Dan Ge."

Lu Yuan rose to his feet, his gaze firm as he scanned each cultivator present.

"We must continually enhance our strength to meet future challenges."

"Only by uniting as one and working together can we stand firm in the Xiuzhen Jie."

Under Lu Yuan's call, the meeting atmosphere gradually heated up.

Everyone voiced their opinions, putting forth their respective views.

One cultivator suggested using the Ziyun Clan's Beidou Secret Art to boost the sect's strength, immediately sparking a discussion.

"Zi Cui Ling, we request you share the Beidou Secret Art; this is crucial for Lei Huo Dan Ge."

A cultivator earnestly said to Zi Cui Ling.

Zi Cui Ling gave a slight smile, yet shook her head, "Sorry, the Beidou Secret Art cannot be lightly transmitted; I cannot meet your demands."

This sudden answer shocked the cultivators present, and their attitude toward Zi Cui Ling began to change.

Lu Yuan watched this scene, doubts rising in his heart; he knew Zi Cui Ling was not one to yield easily, yet this refusal made him feel a hint of unease.

"Zi Cui Ling, the Beidou Secret Art concerns the sect's future; don't you consider the sect's interests?"

A cultivator couldn't help but speak up to question.

Zi Cui Ling gave a faint smile, her gaze firm as she faced the other, "I consider the sect's interests, but the Beidou Secret Art is not something we should use now."

Her tone conveyed a firm confidence, as if beyond doubt.

Lu Yuan's heart stirred slightly; he knew Zi Cui Ling made sense, but amid everyone's expectations and pressure, he also felt a hint of helplessness.

Under the tense atmosphere, Lu Yuan's heart surged with conflicting emotions.

He decided to use the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword to seal Zi Cui Ling's ice-system immortal arts ability, but regarding this decision, he felt a hint of hesitation and guilt.

"Zi Cui Ling, I don't want to be your enemy, but the sect's future is crucial."

Lu Yuan's tone carried helplessness and hesitation.

Zi Cui Ling's eyes flashed with determination and coldness; she faced Lu Yuan without fear, "Lu Yuan, I am not ignoring the sect's interests, but this matter is not suitable to act on now."

Before her words finished, Lu Yuan held the Thunder Fire Sword, a scorching sword qi sliced through the air, sealing Zi Cui Ling's figure.

The Ice Crystal Long Whip in Zi Cui Ling's hand lightly waved; amidst flying ice and snow, she tried to resist the sword qi's erosion.

"Zi Cui Ling, don't force me."

Lu Yuan's voice carried a hint of helplessness and warning.

Zi Cui Ling did not respond; the icy aura emanating from her whole body formed a stark contrast with Lu Yuan's thunderfire power, as if two mighty forces clashed fiercely.

At that moment, the other cultivators in the main hall stared dumbfounded, unable to believe this sudden showdown.

In their hearts, Lu Yuan and Zi Cui Ling had always been beings full of wisdom and kindness; now this confrontation made them feel hard to accept.

"Sister Zi Cui Ling, don't be an enemy to Lord Lu Yuan!"

Su Liyan shouted anxiously, her voice full of worry and unease.

Zi Cui Ling did not stop because of that; she coldly gazed at Lu Yuan, her eyes flashing with determined light.

"What I intend to do will not be stopped by others' obstruction."

Lu Yuan's brows slightly furrowed; he felt the strong aura emanating from Zi Cui Ling's body, and couldn't help but secretly admire.

Zi Cui Ling's strength far exceeded his imagination; this confrontation was not something he could easily resolve.

A determined fire burned in Zi Cui Ling's heart; she understood her strength was limited, but she resolved not to give up easily.

Although Lu Yuan's Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword formation made it difficult for her to break through, she felt no fear and prepared to challenge again.

"Zi Cui Ling, you can no longer absorb more energy; give up."

Lu Yuan's voice carried a hint of worry; he did not want to see Zi Cui Ling hurt.

Zi Cui Ling, however, let out a cold snort, her eyes flashing with stubborn light. (End of chapter)
