Chapter 871 839: Nascent Soul Stage 2, Lu Ping Emerges from Seclusion
Rustle.
The battle rages on, growing fiercer by the minute.
Strong cultivators from Dubhe Institute have heard the news and are gathering here.
Three Outer Realm Demons have appeared simultaneously, which are critical targets to be eliminated.
Meanwhile, in the Cyan Mountain Sect's Back Mountain Forbidden Area, a dense Sword Qi suddenly bursts skyward, connecting directly with the firmament, exuding boundless sword momentum.
This powerful Sword Qi attracts a lot of attention, causing many to glance its way.
"The direction of the back mountain, is that... the ancestor's place of secluded cultivation?"
Song Minghui exclaimed in surprise, seeing the soaring Sword Qi scene, accompanied by a sword light piercing the sky, reminded her that perhaps only Lu Ping could unleash such astonishing might.
It seems to be Lu Ping's doing.
"The Immortal Sword is completed."
Seeing the soaring sword light, the Void Celestial Sword Spirit's eyes lit up.
One could speculate that the Thousand-Star Demon-Slaying Sword has been successfully refined.
Lu Zhiwei and Liu Qiumei, who were listening to the murmurs of the Void Celestial Sword Spirit, were puzzled in their hearts and once again gazed at the soaring sword light.
According to the Void Celestial Sword Spirit, Lu Ping... is this refining an Immortal Sword?
The Void Celestial Sword Spirit itself is the Immortal Sword, is it not?
They were puzzled but did not inquire further.
Far away, Jiuhua True Monarch, Liu Taixuan, and others were also drawn in by this spectacle of soaring sword light, their expressions shifting.
"This is..."
Liu Taixuan squinted and murmured, feeling that such sword light is incredibly powerful, not to be underestimated even by a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
Compared to Liu Taixuan, Jiuhua True Monarch's eyes shone brightly, looking toward the origin of the soaring sword light, in the Back Mountain Forbidden Area of Cyan Mountain Sect.
"Is it Lu Ping of Cyan Mountain Sect?"
Jiuhua True Monarch muttered.
Chen Xianhe nearby had the same thought in his mind, guessing that this commotion was caused by Lu Ping.
Cyan Mountain Sect has such a Nascent Soul True Monarch like Lu Ping, recently it is well-known, even across Lingxi State.
Swoosh.
The sword light dissipated, and a figure soared into the sky, his cyan robe fluttering dramatically in the wind.
Lu Ping, having refined the Thousand-Star Demon-Slaying Sword, first chose to emerge from secluded cultivation, swiftly approaching Lu Zhiwei and the others.
As a Nascent Soul True Monarch, Lu Ping, despite being in secluded cultivation, was actually keeping an eye on the developments within Cyan Mountain Sect.
The appearance of these three Outer Realm Demons naturally did not escape his notice.
However, he only emerged now, not merely because he had finished refining the Thousand-Star Demon-Slaying Sword.
But rather, because, ten or so days ago, as the refining of the Thousand-Star Demon-Slaying Sword neared completion, Lu Ping noticed a looseness in his own cultivation bottleneck.
In other words, he could attempt to break through to the Second Layer of Nascent Soul.
So, Lu Ping simply chose to break through his cultivation on the spot, after more than ten days of secluded cultivation, he finally overcame the bottleneck, stepping into the Second-Layer Nascent Soul in one fell swoop.
The Thousand-Star Demon-Slaying Sword was also completed and emerged with him.
"Father!"
"Greetings, Father."
"Greetings, Ancestor!"
"Congratulations on emerging from secluded cultivation, Ancestor!"
Lu Ping's appearance attracted the attention of Lu Zhiwei, Liu Qiumei, and Song Minghui, quickly greeting Lu Ping.
Around them, the disciples of Cyan Mountain Sect also turned their eyes to Lu Ping, each greeting him.
Lu Ping responded nonchalantly, nodding to the greetings, and when he glanced at the Void Celestial Sword Spirit, he heard the spirit say.
"Second-Layer Nascent Soul."
"Seems like you've gained quite a bit from this secluded cultivation."
This remark from the Void Celestial Sword Spirit attracted Lu Zhiwei and the others' attention to Lu Ping's cultivation aura.
Lu Ping indeed did not conceal his aura at this time, allowing everyone to clearly perceive that his cultivation had reached the Second-Layer Nascent Soul.
"This is not the time for talking about this."
Lu Ping said softly, his gaze fixed on the direction where the Outer Realm Demons were located.
"These Outer Realm Demons are active around Cyan Mountain Sect, if I don't act, doesn't it make our sect look easy to bully?"
Lu Ping murmured to himself; the others heard him but couldn't tell whether he was asking or just muttering privately.
In the next moment, everyone saw a pale-golden Immortal Sword floating before Lu Ping, emitting an extraordinary aura.
This is the Thousand-Star Demon-Slaying Sword.
The sword has just been completed; it still needs the slaughter of a Nascent Soul Evil Demon in order to use it to refine the Sword Soul.
Hard-earned treasure finds its owner.
Currently, there are three Outer Realm Demons causing chaos outside Cyan Mountain Sect, sufficient to kill one for refining into the Sword Soul.
This gives Lu Ping a reason to act.
Upon hearing Lu Ping's remarks, without waiting for a response, Lu Ping was already striding into the air, flying towards Jiuhua True Monarch and others.
Everyone's attention remained on Lu Ping; they clearly saw what he intended to do.
He clearly planned to join the battle.
The Outer Realm Demons, engaged in battle with Jiuhua True Monarch and others, also noticed Lu Ping's movements at this moment, sensing his approach.
They temporarily halted their battle, their eyes all turning towards Lu Ping.
Towards Lu Ping, they were wary.
Especially aware of Lu Ping's cultivation, which he did not conceal, allowing them to clearly sense his cultivation level.
Second-Layer Nascent Soul, this level of power is not significantly different from theirs.
Originally, they were fighting with Jiuhua True Monarch and the others, and their strength was not greatly different.
Now, with Lu Ping's involvement, the balance between these two forces is likely to shift.
"Lu Daoist."
Upon seeing Lu Ping's arrival, Jiuhua True Monarch smiled faintly, feeling a hint of joy over Lu Ping's appearance.
Liu Taixuan and Chen Xianhe also focused their gaze on Lu Ping, sizing him up.
This was their first time seeing Lu Ping, and each greeted him.
As for the other nearby cultivators, most recognized Lu Ping's background, knowing that he was the founding ancestor of Cyan Mountain Sect.
"Elder Lu has come forward, the three Outer Realm Demons won't be rampant anymore."
"Indeed, they underestimated Cyan Mountain Sect too much; do they not know this is Elder Lu's territory?"
"Coming here to make trouble is simply seeking their own demise."
Voices of discussion arose around, with many people optimistic about Lu Ping, believing that with him taking action, the three Outer Realm Demons would be effectively suppressed.
Furthermore, there's the assistance of Jiuhua True Monarch and others.
Compared to them, Jiuhua True Monarch's gaze then fell upon the Thousand-Star Demon-Slaying Sword.
Previously, the emergence of the Thousand-Star Demon-Slaying Sword left a deep impression on Jiuhua True Monarch.
At this moment, seeing the Flying Sword before Lu Ping, he immediately guessed this must be the sword.
What kind of treasure could this sword be?
While Jiuhua True Monarch observed, Lu Ping had no hesitations left.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the current urgent matter is to deal with these Outer Realm Demons properly."
Lu Ping spoke.
