Chapter 518 - 346: Supreme Spirit Stone, Mid Golden Core! (Part 2)

Chapter 518: Chapter 346: Supreme Spirit Stone, Mid Golden Core! (Part 2)

This is roughly equivalent to six pieces of Profound-grade Celestial and Earthly Spiritual Objects.

"Superior Spirit Stone..."

Until now, Lu Xuan finally found something that could provide system points.

Superior Spirit Stones, Profound-grade Celestial and Earthly Spiritual Objects, or even higher-grade Celestial and Earthly Spiritual Objects, Heavenly-grade Spiritual Objects.

Next, the aim was to find ways to quickly acquire these items, and then conclude this life’s trials and tribulations.

"Hmm?"

Just as Lu Xuan was gathering the last trace of spiritual power into the golden core, he suddenly sensed a tremor like metal striking stone above his head.

He swiftly lifted his gaze, his wide black sleeves brushing the void, illuminating the hall with the nine spirit crystals suspended above.

In the center of the dome, there was embedded a pigeon-egg-sized dark blue spirit stone.

The spiritual runes engraved on its surface flickered at an astounding frequency; this was the unique communication signal of the Law Enforcement Main Hall.

This communication stone, its entire body emanating a cold jade luster, with flowing mysterious blue runes.

As a confidential communication tool of the Law Enforcement Hall, only the Hall Master and the three Vice Hall Masters could mobilize it,

and the recipient would definitely be one of the fifteen deacons of the Law Enforcement Hall.

"The Hall Master is personally summoning me?" Lu Xuan murmured under his breath, his pupils slightly constricting.

According to the original body’s memories,

this Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall was among the top echelon of Canglan Celestial Sect.

With a cultivation at the perfection of the Golden Core Realm, this Hall Master’s status and rank were among the top ten within the Canglan Celestial Sect.

"It seems something important has occurred."

For this Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall to personally summon him, this was unprecedented.

Suddenly, the clear ringing of a sword echoed through the hall; the Clear Water Sword shot out from its sheath, its blade emitting dark blue ripples.

Following this, the array outside the palace door quickly dissipated, and the doors slowly opened.

Lu Xuan gently tapped the tip of his foot, his robe billowing like a dark cloud, and landed steadily upon the sword’s blade.

The blue spiritual light beneath his feet meandered along the spine of the sword, casting delicate ripples upon the ground.

He deliberately suppressed the energy around him, concealing his cultivation fluctuations at the level of Foundation Establishment Perfection.

Lu Xuan chose not to use the Golden Core Realm’s void escape but adopted the Foundation Establishment Stage’s sword flight.

The breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm must only be revealed after a month.

Otherwise, it could attract unnecessary trouble.

As he passed through the layers of clouds and mist, Lu Xuan gazed at the direction of the Law Enforcement Main Hall, where blue light surged.

If he were to travel through the air now, he could reach there in the blink of an eye, but the distinctive pressure of a Golden Core cultivator would definitely be sensed by that Hall Master elder.

Amidst the clouds, Lu Xuan’s figure gradually transformed into a dim blue light.

Inside the main hall, the atmosphere was shrouded in a mysterious and solemn air; the glazed dome refracted fragmented light, rendering the interior with interwoven shadows and light.

Lu Xuan had just stepped into the outer corridor of the main hall, yet had not reached the threshold of the core inner hall,

when a burst of loud noise, like a surging tide, overwhelmed him.

Within the cacophony, unmistakable anger could be discerned, and clearly, a string of curses could be heard.

"That bastard Liu Xing!"

A voice boomed like thunder, "He actually incited the Sect Leader to toss this extremely troublesome task to us!"

Soon after, another old yet indignant voice arose: "Clearly, it was their own mistake, so why should we, the Law Enforcement Hall, have to clean up their mess?"

"Isn’t this too much bullying?"

As the words fell, there came a heavy sound of a table being slammed, accompanied by an incensed "This old man is infuriated," the air around them trembled slightly.

At this point, a slightly softer yet still discontented voice interjected: "Hall Master, to be honest, you should have firmly refused this troublesome matter at that time."

Pausing, the voice’s tone grew heavier, "Even if we exhaust all efforts to accomplish it, we cannot explain it to Mr. Fen, the Supreme Elder."

"After all, this task is greatly related to the youthful lady of his lineage."

"Any slight mistake will undoubtedly incur Mr. Fen’s displeasure."

"And if not handled well, the reputation our Law Enforcement Hall has accumulated over the years will be instantly ruined."

"By then, within the sect, we could no longer hold our heads high!"

Lu Xuan followed the sound, his eyes landing on the silhouettes of four elders suspended mid-air.

The three Vice Hall Masters, faces flushed, were fervently arguing around the foremost elder, who was silently resting with closed eyes.

They frowned, their eyes full of anxiety and dissatisfaction, waving their arms and speaking rapidly, revealing their inner resentment.

If an uninformed sect disciple accidentally stumbled upon this scene, they might mistake the three Vice Hall Masters as having treasonous intentions, publicly rebelling against the Hall Master,

"Disciple, Law Enforcement Hall officer Lu Xuan, greets the Hall Master and the three Vice Hall Masters!"

"Enough."

The Hall Master finally slowly opened his eyes, his voice deep yet carrying undeniable authority, silencing the restless discussions abruptly.

His gaze swept over the tense faces of the three Vice Hall Masters, speaking in a steady tone.

"Since the Sect Leader has already made arrangements, as the pillar of the sect’s laws, it is naturally our duty in the Law Enforcement Hall to execute the tasks diligently."

With a slight movement of his robe sleeves, the Hall Master’s fingertips coalesced a strand of blue profound light, outlining the territory of the Canglan Dynasty in the air.

"Do not forget, although the Canglan Dynasty is a secular nation, it is also one of our sect’s foundations in the mortal realm."

"Their Emperor, Cangming Heaven, is also our sect’s nominal Vice Hall Master of the Foreign Affairs Hall, who usually manages the dynasty’s operations for the sect."

"Now that he and Fen Yao have escaped, how can the Law Enforcement Hall remain indifferent?"

Before the words were finished, the eyes of the three Vice Hall Masters involuntarily looked downward.

Lu Xuan stood quietly in the shadows of the hall at some unknown point in time.

The Hall Master seemed to see through everyone’s thoughts, deliberately raising his voice: "However, this matter must not be publicized."

"Fen Yao has a protective divine thought from Mr. Fen within her body, which will be triggered at the slightest mistake."

As he spoke, an ancient Spirit Seal lit up in his palm, flowing spiritual power like a galaxy.

"Fortunately, the Sect Leader consulted Mr. Fen and entrusted me with the tracking Spirit Seal."

"Judging by the spiritual power fluctuations within Fen Yao, she and Cangming Heaven should have fled to the Southern Domain’s Flowing Flame Valley by now."

The Hall Master’s spiritual power swayed slightly, his expression grave: "Flowing Flame Valley has long-standing grievances with our sect."

"This pursuit can only involve sect disciples below the Golden Core Realm."

"If Flowing Flame Valley detects Golden Core cultivators entering their territory, they will surely perceive it as provocation."

"If that happens, the war between the two sects will reignite, and the situation will be difficult to control."

After saying this, the Hall Master’s gaze was fixated on the place where Lu Xuan stood, asking word by word: "Lu Xuan, did you hear clearly?"

Before Lu Xuan could respond, the Hall Master continued speaking to himself: "Cangming Heaven’s cultivation is at the late Foundation Establishment Stage, while Fen Yao’s is at the mid-stage."

"With your Foundation Establishment Perfection, capturing them should not be an issue."

Lu Xuan’s eyes suddenly narrowed, then he cupped his fist in salute, his voice like a great bell: "Disciple obeys!"

"Good!" The Hall Master nodded, his words just falling.

A secret sound that only Lu Xuan could hear exploded in his sea of consciousness: "Remember, Cangming Heaven must die, Fen Yao must be captured alive and brought back to the sect!"

The words were icy and piercing. Before Lu Xuan could think deeply, an exquisite, cloud-patterned cloth bag enveloped in spiritual power floated before him.

"This is the gift from the Sect Leader bestowed upon you."

The Hall Master flicked his finger, and a Spirit Seal emanating a deep blue light hovered out, "Also, the Spirit Seal to track Fen Yao is given to you."

"Proceeding to Flowing Flame Valley is fraught with dangers, do not take it lightly."

The Canglan Celestial Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall’s pursuit of Fen Yao is imperative.

The core reason lies in her possession of the complete cultivation diagram of the ’Vast Sea Cyan Wave Skill’.

This sect-defining Cultivation Technique is tightly controlled.

Outer sect disciples, when they join, can only learn the rudimentary methods to introduce Qi into the body, barely touching the margins of the technique’s essence.

Inner sect disciples and officers within various halls have slightly higher status but can only practice one-third of the technique, reaching some core ideas.

As for core disciples and elders within various halls, even though they hold high positions in the sect, they are only permitted to study two-thirds of the content.

The complete version of the "Vast Sea Cyan Wave Skill," known as the sect’s highest secret, has always been known only to the three Supreme Elders and the Sect Leader.

Yet, out of personal desire, Mr. Fen had imparted this forbidden secret to Fen Yao early on.

Now, Fen Yao has fled with the sect-defining cultivation diagram, which undoubtedly poses a tremendous crisis to the sect.

If ignored, the consequences of the complete "Vast Sea Cyan Wave Skill" leaking would be unimaginable.

Thus, Fen Yao faces only two paths: to die outside the sect, letting the technique disappear with her,

or to return alive to the Canglan Celestial Sect, sealing the secret back in the depths of the sect.

To the Law Enforcement Hall, the answer is already clear.

To rashly kill Fen Yao might anger Mr. Fen.

Hence, Fen Yao can only be captured alive and brought back to the sect to await the Sect Leader’s judgment!
