Chapter 83 Condensing the Immortal Sword Seed_2
That day, Lu Yi was cultivating when Donggong Ming Yue suddenly came looking for him, saying that their Master had something to discuss with them.
Curious about what it could be, Lu Yi followed Donggong Ming Yue to the top of Ling Luo Peak, where they saw the bamboo house door open. The Ling Luo Peak Master was lounging on a reclining chair as usual, looking indifferent. What surprised Lu Yi was that Liu Ningshuang had also returned, seated to one side.
Lu Yi asked with some surprise, "Senior Sister Ningshuang, you're back?"
Upon seeing Lu Yi, Liu Ningshuang's cool face lit up with a faint smile as she nodded, "Yes, I've just returned. Junior Brother Lu, congratulations on breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. I heard you even triggered a Heavenly Tribulation, that's truly impressive."
Liu Ningshuang had just arrived back at the sect and already heard discussions about Lu Yi's breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm. Her junior brother had actually caused a Heavenly Tribulation while breaking through, and he even invented his own Cultivation Technique.
This shocked Liu Ningshuang. Even at her level in the Qi Cultivation Realm, she wasn't that strong, and when she had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, she hadn't triggered a Heavenly Tribulation.
Lu Yi replied with an embarrassed smile, "You flatter me, Senior Sister."
Donggong Ming Yue chuckled and patted Lu Yi's shoulder, "Brother, you're too modest. You just have incredible talent."
At this moment, the Ling Luo Peak Master yawned and said, "If you have anything else to say, save it for later. I need to discuss something with the two of you."
Lu Yi and Donggong Ming Yue looked at the Ling Luo Peak Master curiously.
The Ling Luo Peak Master spoke up, "The centennial opening of the East Forest Ruins is just one year away. Our White Cloud Sect has twenty spots. Before the ruins open, the sect will hold a minor competition. Only Foundation Establishment disciples who pass the competition can enter. Lu Yi, you have already established your foundation, and with your talent and strength, there shouldn't be any problem. I just wanted to inform you, whether you go or not is up to you. As for Little Mingyue…"
She turned to Donggong Ming Yue and said, "Your Cultivation Base has indeed improved quite a bit recently. You've reached the Qi Cultivation Twelfth Layer. Decide for yourself whether to aim for the Qi Cultivation Thirteenth Layer or to break through within the year."
On hearing this, Donggong Ming Yue's expression turned serious, and she nodded, "I understand, Master."
As Lu Yi listened to what the Ling Luo Peak Master said, realization dawned in his heart—was it already time for the East Forest Ruins to open?
The East Forest Ruins, Lu Yi had heard of them several times within the White Cloud Sect.
This was an ancient site in Qingzhou with quite a reputation, a battlefield from long ago where the Human Clan and the Demon Clan had clashed.
In Ancient Times, the battles of Great Powers had disturbed the Spiritual Energy, causing spatial rifts and creating an independent Small World, where even the rules differed from those of the Tianming Continent. Only Cultivators below Foundation Establishment could enter.
Within the ruins lay numerous precious medicinal herbs and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. For instance, there were such treasures that could solidify one's foundations or even improve the patterns of a Golden Core.
Moreover, as a battlefield between the Human and Demon Clans, it was likely that many powerful Cultivators had left behind Cultivation Treasures and legacies. It all depended on whether one had the luck to find them.
If one found a powerful legacy, soaring to the heavens was not necessarily impossible.
Each time the ruins opened, they attracted a large number of Cultivators.
Of course, the East Forest Ruins were located in the regions controlled by the White Cloud Sect, Blood Spirit Sect, Cold Winter Valley, Ten Thousand Flowers Sect, and Heavenly Snake Sect. These five sects jointly controlled it. Each time the ruins opened, the sects would clean the area beforehand and send their most elite disciples to plunder.
The disciples naturally aspired to enter and obtain resources, making the competition extremely fierce.
Thinking this over, Lu Yi felt a bit of excitement. Based on his experience, such events definitely gave rise to Tasks, and the rewards were quite substantial.
Indeed, his current resources were running low. While they were enough for now, once his Cultivation Base grew higher and he began to challenge the Heavenly Dao Limitation of the Foundation Establishment Realm, they might not suffice.
Yes, even the Foundation Establishment Realm had three layers of Heavenly Dao restrictions, and Lu Yi naturally aimed to break all three. The resources needed for this were considerable.
Lu Yi mused to himself: "I want to participate in the Foundation Establishment competition."
[Task]
Participate in the Foundation Establishment competition and receive rewards based on the ranking.
Accept: Yes/No
Lu Yi continued to himself: "I want to enter the East Forest Ruins."
[Task]
Enter the East Forest Ruins
Reward: 30 drops of Myriad Spirit Dew.
Accept: Yes/No
Upon seeing the reward, Lu Yi was immediately tempted. Now that he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, his Cultivation Resources were becoming somewhat strained; he finally had new rewards within reach.
Lu Yi decisively accepted the Task.
This was just the reward for entering the East Forest Ruins; just imagine how much more he could earn from completing a few tasks within? The prospect filled Lu Yi with anticipation.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He spoke with a smile, "Master, I've decided to go to the East Forest Ruins."
The Ling Luo Peak Master nodded slightly, "If that is the case, then you should prepare well. Try to enhance your strength before entering, as the ruins are filled with dangers. Even with your exceptional talent, you must be cautious."
Lu Yi nodded earnestly, "I understand, Master."
"Hmm…" The Ling Luo Peak Master nodded and then asked, "Have you encountered any difficulties with cultivating the Immortal Sword Scripture lately? Although I haven't cultivated the Immortal Sword Scripture myself, I should still be able to give you some advice."
Lu Yi said with a smile, "The Cultivation is going quite smoothly; I have just condensed the Immortal Sword Seed."
The Ling Luo Peak Master: "..."
Her expression froze for a moment, and then she waved her hand, "Off you go, off you go."
