The greatest saint of all time!

Chapter 127 Soul Platform 5th Level

"It's alright, it's alright."

Lu Tianxing hugged his son tightly, unable to hold back his tears of joy.

This battle was truly brutal, but thankfully they still won.

With the fall of the Great Chu Dynasty and the complete thwarting of the Yin Sha Sect's conspiracy, this territory now belongs only to the Great Yan Dynasty.

……

"Cough cough..."

Lu Tianxing coughed up a mouthful of blood, and looking at Lu Xuan, whose breath was weak in his arms, a trace of lingering fear flashed in his eyes.

If Xuan'er hadn't risked his life to block that fatal blow, this Great Chu Imperial Palace would probably be their burial ground today.

"Father, the monster's corpse!"

Lu Xuan weakly raised his hand and pointed to the rotten flesh not far ahead.

Lu Tianxing followed his finger and saw that although the Blood Demon Embryo was dead, there was still a faint, chilling red light in its flesh.

That's... the Blood Demon Core!

Lu Tianxing's pupils contracted slightly.

This Blood Fiend Embryo was born from the essence of countless living beings and the flesh and blood of a Returning Origin Realm expert. Although it is evil, the essence condensed within its body is a genuine treasure of heaven and earth.

"nice one!"

A glint of light flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes.

This substance might be highly poisonous to others, but it is a great tonic to him.

"Father, give me that thing."

Although Lu Tianxing hesitated for a moment, he still walked over and used his spear to pick out the fist-sized, blood-red demon core.

The moment he got his hands on the demon core, he felt a violent killing intent surge straight into his mind.

"Hmph! Still trying to cause trouble even after you're dead?"

Lu Xuan snorted coldly as he took the demon core. The Primordial Pearl within his body trembled, instantly suppressing the killing intent.

"Swallow it!"

With a thought, the pure energy from the demonic core surged into his body like a tidal wave.

The previously dry meridians were instantly filled, and the horrific wound on his chest healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not only that, his cultivation level is also constantly rising.

The middle stage of the fourth level of the Soul Platform Realm.

Peak of the fourth level of the Soul Platform Realm...

This energy was finally exhausted only after he broke through to the fifth level of the Soul Platform Realm!

"call……"

Lu Xuan let out a long breath, slowly stood up, feeling the surging power within his body, his eyes filled with joy.

Not only have his injuries healed, but his cultivation has also broken through two realms!

This Blood Demon Embryo is truly a money-bringing child!

"Xuan'er, you...you've broken through?"

Lu Tianxing stared in shock at Lu Xuan, whose aura had drastically changed.

This is just too outrageous!

He was critically injured and on the verge of death, but in the blink of an eye, he not only recovered but also broke through to a higher realm.

Is this even human?

"Just lucky."

Lu Xuan smiled but didn't offer any further explanation.

He glanced at the devastated palace, then at the capital city outside, which had been completely occupied by the Great Yan army, and a smile curled at the corner of his lips.

"Father, the Great Chu has been destroyed. Now, it is time for our Great Yan to rise to prominence."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing was filled with pride.

"That's right! By annexing Great Chu and unifying the two countries, my Great Yan will surely become the strongest dynasty in the Eastern Wilderness!"

The father and son smiled at each other and walked out of the main hall side by side.

With the fall of the Great Chu Dynasty, the entire Great Yan Dynasty was plunged into a frenzy of celebration.

Lu Tianxing did not rush to return to the capital. Instead, he stayed in the capital of the Great Chu and began to reorganize the newly conquered territory in a sweeping manner.

Those powerful families who had once relied on the royal family of Great Chu, after witnessing the ruthless methods of Lu Tianxing and his son Lu Xuan, all became as obedient as quails, offering up their wealth and pledges of allegiance, hoping only to survive in the new court.

Lu Tianxing did not completely eliminate these opportunists, but instead adopted a combination of kindness and severity.

Those who obey will be kept.

Those who disobey will have their entire clan exterminated!

In just half a month, the entire territory of the Great Chu was completely pacified, and the banners of the Great Yan were planted in every city.

On this day, Lu Xuan was cultivating in a side hall of the palace.

"Your Highness! What a joyous occasion!"

Wei Jiuqian's distinctive high-pitched voice came from outside the door.

Lu Xuan slowly finished his practice, got up, and opened the door.

Wei Jiuqian, his face flushed, strode in carrying an exquisite sandalwood box.

"Eunuch Wei, what makes you so happy?"

Lu Xuan asked with a smile.

"Your Highness, we discovered quite a few treasures while inventorying the Great Chu Imperial Palace's treasury!"

Wei Jiuqian said excitedly.

"The accumulation of the Great Chu royal family over hundreds of years is indeed extraordinary! They possess millions of spirit stones alone, along with countless rare pills, magical treasures, and cultivation manuals!"

"With these resources, the national strength of our Great Yan can at least increase several times over!"

Lu Xuan nodded, not at all surprised, after all, Great Chu was an old and powerful nation with a very deep foundation.

"However, this is what surprised this old servant the most."

As he spoke, Wei Jiuqian presented the sandalwood box in his hand to Lu Xuan as if it were a treasure.

"This old servant found it in the secret chamber of Chu Kuangren's palace. It was hidden in the most secluded place and protected by an array."

"If this old servant hadn't had some expertise in these mechanisms and secret passages, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have discovered them."

Upon receiving the box, Lu Xuan felt its weight.

He didn't rush to open it, but first used his divine sense to investigate.

But this investigation made him raise an eyebrow slightly.

There was a faint trace of demonic energy remaining on the box.

The aura of this demonic energy was extremely similar to that of the people in the Yin Sha Sect, yet completely different.

"That's interesting."

Lu Xuan thought to himself, then opened the box.

Click!

The box was opened, and inside lay a palm-sized black fragment.

This fragment is neither gold nor jade; its surface is covered with dense cracks.

It looks just like an ordinary piece of broken tile.

But within the crack, a faint, dark golden light flowed, as if something was sealed inside.

"What is this?"

Wei Jiuqian leaned over for a look and frowned in confusion.

"It looks like a fragment of a map."

Lu Xuan didn't speak, but picked up the fragment.

The moment his fingers touched the fragment, the Primordial Pearl within his body suddenly trembled.

hum!

Then, a faint but incredibly clear sensation traveled from his fingertips into his sea of ​​consciousness.

This feeling carried a hint of longing, a hint of excitement, and even a hint of... fear?

Lu Xuan was greatly alarmed.

Anything that can elicit such a reaction from the Primordial Pearl is definitely no ordinary object!

He immediately mobilized his spiritual power, attempting to penetrate the fragment to find out what was going on.

However, the moment his soul touched the dark golden light on the surface of the fragment, it was as if he had hit an impenetrable wall and was bounced back.

"Such a powerful restriction!"

A glint of light flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes.

With his current soul strength comparable to the Heavenly Origin Realm, he couldn't even break through a single hair of this fragment.

The origin of this thing is probably even more significant than he imagined!

"Eunuch Wei, besides finding this in the secret room, are there any other clues?"

Lu Xuan turned to look at Wei Jiuqian and asked in a deep voice.

Wei Jiuqian thought for a moment and said, "By the way, this old servant also found a line of words on the wall of the secret room."
