Late Nascent Soul Stage, the Gu Family Ancestor's Birthday Banquet!

She was a woman from the Demonic Sect, and it was in her nature to admire the strong. Lu Yuan was undoubtedly the strongest and most domineering man she had ever met.

Lu Yuan looked down at the Hehuan Sect Master before him, who was feared by outsiders but was now as docile as a cat. A satisfied smile crept onto his lips.

He reached out and lifted Su Yueli's delicate chin.

"You did a good job this time."

"I told you, as long as you behave, I will not treat you unfairly."

Su Yueli's cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes were like silk, and her red lips parted slightly: "It is my honor to serve my husband... I only ask that my husband cherish me."

As she spoke, she took a step forward and pressed her soft body against Lu Yuan's chest.

Lu Yuan chuckled, grabbed her slender waist, and waved his hand to cast a restriction that enveloped the entire room.

Red candles flickered, and light gauze curtains fell to the ground.

……

After a period of cultivation.

Several hours passed quickly.

As the rain subsided, Su Yueli nestled lazily in Lu Yuan's arms, her aura fluctuating. Her cultivation, which had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, was now faintly touching that invisible barrier.

A profound and mysterious energy flowed around her.

The law of emotion, which is to be destroyed and then rebuilt, has finally taken a crucial step under the nourishment of Lu Yuan's vast pure yang source and the power of the law.

Four transformations!

This means that she has already stepped halfway into the Void Refinement stage. As long as she settles down for a while longer, or obtains some opportunities, she will be able to truly trigger the Void Refinement Tribulation.

Lu Yuan looked at the beauty in his arms, but his heart was not stirred.

It was already midnight.

A mechanical notification sound rang in his mind right on time.

[Ding! Daily intelligence update!]

[White Intelligence: In Tianyuan City, the Gu family, a Golden Core clan, will be jointly targeted by the other three Golden Core clans (Zhou, Chu, and Liu) at noon today during the 500th birthday banquet of their ancestor, Gu Changsheng.]

The three clan leaders believed that the Gu family was unworthy of their positions and attempted to force them to hand over the core market properties of Tianyuan City. Gu Changsheng, already severely injured and with little lifespan remaining, was provoked by this and suffered a stroke, dying on the spot.

[White Intelligence: Xiao Fan, the chosen one, will break the second shackle of the Ancient Sacred Body today at Chen hour (7-9 AM) after absorbing a portion of Ye Chen's clone's innate Dao Body essence, causing his physical strength to surge.]

[Golden Intelligence: Xiao Fan used a fifth-order Void Teleportation Talisman in the Fallen Demon Valley to randomly teleport to Tianyuan City on the border of the Great Yan Kingdom.]

His luck is extraordinary. At Shenshi (3-5 PM) today, he will find a bargain in the largest stone market in Tianyuan City. He will spend only ten low-grade spirit stones to cut open a piece of discarded source stone, inside which is sealed a drop of the essence blood of a Great Perfection Ancient Sacred Body.

After refining this blood, Xiao Fan will soar into the sky, directly breaking through the nine shackles of the Sacred Body and awakening the Sacred Body phenomenon of the Immortal King descending upon the Nine Heavens [Click to view]

After reading these three pieces of intelligence, Lu Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

"The essence and blood of the Great Perfection Ancient Sacred Body?"

"Break through all nine shackles directly?"

Lu Yuan sneered inwardly.

This chosen one is indeed an unkillable cockroach. Not only did he not die, but he also turned misfortune into blessing. If he really gets this drop of essence blood, it might really turn his life around.

After all, the Great Perfection Ancient Sacred Body is a terrifying physique that can rival even True Immortals.

"Unfortunately, now that I know, it's mine."

A cold glint flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

As for the Gu family of Tianyuan City...

The image of Gu Qingxue appeared in Lu Yuan's mind.

If he remembered correctly, Gu Qingxue was born into the Gu family of Tianyuan City. Back then, she was brought back to the mountain by the former sect leader of Qingyun Sect. Later, because of her outstanding talent and her single-minded pursuit of the Dao to sever her worldly ties, she rarely returned to her family.

Especially her public annulment of her engagement with Ye Chen made the Gu family's situation in Tianyuan City even more delicate.

"Perfect timing. Let's take Qingxue back and harvest this leek (Xiao Fan) while we're at it."

Having made up his mind, Lu Yuan did not rush to set off.

There's still some time before Shenshi (3-5 PM).

He took out the azure crystal he had obtained from Yan Nantian—the complete crystal of the Water Law.

"Devouring Heaven Demon Art, begin practicing!"

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged, and a dark vortex appeared in his palm, directly swallowing the crystal of law.

boom!

A vast and boundless source of water exploded within his body in an instant.

If an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator wanted to refine this Law Crystal, it would take at least several months of hard work. However, under the operation of the domineering Demonic Art of Devouring Heaven, the Law Crystal melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The void behind Lu Yuan began to change.

The originally blurry image of the Black Emperor has become increasingly clear and solid.

Splash!

The sound of waves echoed in the quiet room. Behind Lu Yuan, it seemed as if an endless black ocean had appeared, each drop of water as heavy as a thousand pounds, containing the ultimate gentleness and inclusiveness.

The Law of Water, starting from the peak of the second transformation, surged into the third transformation level with unstoppable momentum!

The five elements are perfectly aligned!

With the completion of the Water Law, the Five Elements cycle within Lu Yuan's body has completely formed a perfect closed loop.

boom!

A terrifying aura erupted from him.

Late stage of Nascent Soul!

Things will fall into place naturally.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes, his pupils swirling with five-colored divine light, and the pressure emanating from him was several times stronger than before.

……

At dawn, the first rays of sunlight fell upon Changsheng Peak.

Lu Yuan walked out of the villa, feeling refreshed.

He transmitted his thoughts, and a moment later, a stunningly beautiful figure arrived on a sword and landed in front of him.

It was Gu Qingxue.

Today, she seemed to have a premonition of something, or perhaps she was in a good mood. Instead of wearing her usual plain Taoist robe, she changed into a moon-white fairy dress.

A few delicate plum blossoms were embroidered on the hem of her skirt, and a light blue ribbon was tied around her waist, outlining her slender waist. Her hair was styled in a high bun, with a hairpin swaying slightly with her movements. She had lost some of the cold and dignified demeanor of a sect leader, and gained more of the gentleness and charm of a mature woman.

"Husband, you were looking for me?"

Gu Qingxue looked at Lu Yuan, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of tenderness that was hard to detect.

"Um."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, looked her up and down, and smiled, "You're dressed well today."

Hearing Lu Yuan's praise, two blushes rose on Gu Qingxue's cool and pretty face, and she lowered her head shyly.

"Get ready, I'm taking you back to Tianyuan City today."

"Tianyuan City?"

Gu Qingxue looked up abruptly, her eyes filled with surprise, which then turned into delight. "Husband...you mean, come back to my home?"

Since joining the Qingyun Sect, especially after assuming the position of sect leader, she has never returned. It's not that she doesn't want to, but rather that she has no choice in the matter.

Hearing that Lu Yuan was going to take her back, the long-suppressed homesickness welled up in her heart.

"good."

Lu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "I heard that today is your ancestor's 500th birthday. Since it is your family, I should go and ask for a cup of celebratory wine."
