71: Each of them is proud and rushes to Xuanyuan

"But how did he develop such a cautious personality?"

Lu Yu was somewhat speechless.

The Lu Family, at present, was the number one Imperial Family in the current era.

Among the younger generation of the Lu Family, if not all, at least ninety-nine percent possessed an air of confident exuberance in their bones.

Such a cautious and 'go-with-the-flow' personality.

It was truly hard to imagine it appearing on a Lu Family Disciple.

Moreover, this was a peerless Heavenly Pride of the Lu Family.

In the end, Lu Yu could only attribute it to...

Perhaps the Ancestor of the Nine Veins was too muddled.

When the older generation couldn't be relied upon, the younger generation could only mature early, and over time, they developed this kind of personality.

"Your Highness, this storage ring..."

Ji Ming didn't know Lu Yu's thoughts.

He thought Lu Yu didn't want to let the Jing Family off the hook.

Lu Yu came back to his senses, waved his hand, and said, "Put this storage ring away. As for the Jing Family, I don't think they have the ability to cause trouble anymore."

Ji Ming nodded, "Then I'll go report back to Saint Lu Yuan?"

"Yes, thank you for your trouble, Senior."

Lu Yu smiled and nodded.

Although he knew that Lu Qingyang and Lu Yuan would achieve extraordinary things in the future.

But Lu Yu did not immediately step forward to recruit them.

Although these two's status in the Lu Family wasn't particularly dazzling at the moment.

Their pride would definitely not be less than Lu Yu's by half a point.

Rashly recruiting them would only result in rejection.

Moreover.

Lu Yu was also confident, possessing the Primordial Saint Body, Eternal Sword Embryo, and Secret Word Array inheritance, with the Gate of the Eternal assisting him from the side.

"There's no need for any deliberate recruitment."

"When I become the Master of the Lu Family and command the entire Lu Family, these Third Ancestors of the Revival will naturally follow under my banner!"

...

Qingyang Emperor Palace.

"It's good that Cousin Lu Yu accepted the gift."

After learning that Lu Yu had accepted the gift, Lu Qingyang let out a sigh of relief and prepared to enter secluded cultivation.

"Although the Jing Family is foolish, they did do something good, at least they sent me a Xuanyuan Ancient Token!"

Lu Qingyang toyed with the Xuanyuan Ancient Token in his hand, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Although he was cautious, relying solely on caution wouldn't support his daily cultivation needs!

Sometimes, one had to strive for the opportunities that should be seized.

This Xuan Yuan Ancient Realm was a good place to go!

A few days later, the day before the Xuan Yuan Ancient Realm opened.

Lu Qingyang, who had emerged from seclusion again, clearly had a stronger aura than before.

Looking at Lu Qingyang, who was ready to depart, Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, "That Emperor Child Lu Yu is also preparing to go to the Xuan Yuan Ancient Realm."

"Qingyang, why don't you go with them?"

"Go with them? Let's forget about it."

Lu Qingyang shook his head and smiled, a well-hidden hint of arrogance flashing in his eyes.

"I sent a gift to Cousin Lu Yu before to clean up the mess for the old geezer, not to pledge loyalty to this cousin!"

"Primordial Saint Body, the battle of Ming Dao, subduing the Virtual Spirit... these are indeed remarkable, but to make me submit and follow, this level of talent and achievement is still not enough!"

Listening to Lu Qingyang's confident words.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile.

"But he has Great Sage Zhenshan by his side, and Saint King Ji Ming accompanying him, not to mention many followers. Qi Lan, Nangong Wen, and Chu Qingyao will all go with him."

"Whether inside or outside the Mystic Origin Ancient Realm, the safety is much better than yours, isn't it?"

"Outside the Mystic Origin Ancient Realm, I have Uncle, and inside the Mystic Origin Ancient Realm..."

Lu Qingyang smiled slightly and didn't continue the topic.

But his eyes already revealed his thoughts.

He didn't need followers; he was confident that he could do better than Lu Yu!

"Let's go, Uncle, stop teasing me."

"Besides, don't talk about me, I don't believe you aren't curious about the true extent of my Cousin Lu Yu's strength and foundation?"

"All curiosity can be answered in that Xuan Yuan Ancient Realm. The sooner we go, the sooner we can witness it!"

Lu Yuan heard this and couldn't help but laugh, no longer saying anything more.

With a slight wave of his hand, he summoned a Saint Dao spirit boat and took Lu Qingyang with him, sailing towards the entrance of the Xuan Yuan Ancient Realm!

At the same time, in the Lu Family Imperial Court, and even in the Emperor City below.

Many spirit boats and battle chariots slowly ascended into the sky.

Carrying one Lu Family Genius after another, heading towards the Xuan Yuan Ancient Realm.

And similar scenes, as the day of the Xuan Yuan Ancient Realm's opening approached.

Were playing out across the entire Heavenly Profound Dao Continent.

Some Heavenly Pride and powerhouses from neighboring Dao Continents even crossed the Dao Continent barrier and rushed to the location of the Xuan Yuan Ancient Realm.

And Lu Yu, inside the Li Huo Emperor Palace, was naturally no exception.

Taking Nangong Wen, Chu Qingyao, and Qi Lan, who had been sent by the Qi Family, he boarded the Emperor Child's battle chariot.

Qi Lan had also received some guidance on cultivation from Lu Yu during these days.

Although her progress wasn't as exaggerated as Nangong Wen, who primarily cultivated the Sword Dao.

Her strength had also increased significantly.

She became even more impressed with Lu Yu.

The little girl directly transformed into a die-hard fan of Lu Yu, her loyalty, along with Nangong Wen and Chu Qingyao, reaching the maximum of 100 points.

Yes.

Although the title of follower hadn't been officially decided yet.

Lu Yu found, somewhat amusedly, that he could already see Chu Qingyao's loyalty.

This meant that although this Ninth Princess of the Great Chu Ancient Kingdom wasn't officially one of his people yet.

Her heart was already considered his, Lu Yu's.

After bringing the three followers.

Lu Yu also summoned his Emperor Child's retinue.

This trip was different from the previous one where he subdued the Virtual Spirit Tower.

The necessary display of power naturally couldn't be omitted.

Fortunately, Ji Ming had already made thorough preparations for this.

Soon, behind Lu Yu's Emperor Child's battle chariot.

His original Emperor Child's spirit boat, as well as a series of guardian spirit boats commanded by Sage Lords, Saints, and Quasi-Sages, were all ready to depart.

Under the command of Lu Zhenshan and Ji Ming, they closely followed behind Lu Yu, pulled by the Emperor Child's battle chariot dragged by three Divine Luan Great Saints.

In a mighty procession, they rushed towards the entrance of the Xuan Yuan Ancient Realm!

...

Heavenly Profound Dao Continent, Northern Great Region · Mystic Region, Wanling Gorge!

At this moment, on the mountains on both sides of Wanling Gorge.

Young Heavenly Pride from the Heavenly Profound Dao Continent, and even several neighboring Dao Continents, had flocked here.

Many of them had not come alone.

Their families and Sects had also arranged for guardian experts to follow closely.

If someone were to look down from the sky at this moment.

On the mountains on both sides of Wanling Gorge, the powerhouses gathered here numbered over a million?

The number of young Heavenly Pride also exceeded one hundred thousand.

In addition, there were many rogue cultivator geniuses with no Family background.

Who had also resolutely come.

They had no guardians.

The spirit artifacts and treasures they carried were also of the lowest grade.

Those Heavenly Pride who had guardians and were from Immortal Dao Lineages or even Quasi-Emperor families.

Each and every one of them was resplendent with treasures.

In their hands, they even held Great Teleportation Talismans or similar precious items.

When they entered the Xuan Yuan Ancient Realm, if they encountered a fatal danger.

Crushing the teleportation talisman would allow them to escape and be teleported out of the Xuan Yuan Ancient Realm, saving their lives.

But if they encountered danger.

They could only rely on themselves, fighting for survival!

But even so.

They were still unwilling to retreat.

One by one, they looked at the end of that Wanling Gorge, their eyes filled with boundless fervent light.

There, a spatial rift spanning a thousand feet was appearing.

And as time passed.

That spatial rift was also continuously expanding to both sides.

An incredibly mysterious spiritual energy fluctuation was emanating from behind the rift.

"This... is the entrance to the Xuan Yuan Ancient Realm!"

"In half a day at most, this entrance will be completely open, and we can enter it to seek opportunities!"

A young rogue cultivator Genius looked at that entrance and couldn't help but murmur softly to himself.

As he spoke.

He couldn't help but look into the distance, at those standing on the highest points of the cliffs on both sides.

The positions closest to the entrance of the Xuan Yuan Ancient Realm.

Those positions were occupied by the top tier of the one hundred thousand Heavenly Pride gathered here.

"Immortal Dao Lineage, the Fifth Prince of the Great Qin Ancient Kingdom..."

"Supreme Sect, the Chief Disciple of the Guiyi Sword Sect..."

"The Little National Ruler of the Myriad Spirit Divine Dynasty, Jiang Chuan, the contemporary Chief of the Quasi-Emperor Sect Yuangu Gate..."

"And..."

"One of the Ten Great Royal Clans of the Grand Desolation, one of the contemporary Princes of the Sky Wolf Clan, known as the 'Devouring Moon Heavenly Wolf', whose talent is comparable to the Emperor Child level Heavenly Pride of our Human Race!"

That young Genius looked at those dazzling peers, his eyes filled with yearning.

Finally, he couldn't help but look at the entrance of the Xuan Yuan Ancient Realm and whispered.

"If I am fortunate enough to obtain the inheritance of Xuan Yuan Supreme, I can ascend to the heavens in one step, make up for the disparity of my background, and in the future, I will also have a place among the top Heavenly Pride of this Heavenly Profound Dao Continent! And I can make my mother proud of me!"

He spoke very softly.

He was afraid of being heard by the people next to him and attracting ridicule.

But, even so, when he spoke the words.

In the air, a merciless sneer still fell: "Hahaha! This Human Race ant is truly laughable!"

"A mere brat at the Early Stage of Heavenly King, yet he still dreams of obtaining the inheritance of that Xuan Yuan Supreme? Kid, I might as well be merciful and send you back to lie down earlier, lest you go into this Xuan Yuan Ancient Realm and lose your life in vain!"

The speaker was a Grand Desolation variant beast with a bear's head and human body.

Golden scales grew on its body, shimmering like flowing magma.

As it spoke, it directly raised its bear claws, which were like millstones, and slammed them towards that rogue cultivator Genius.

It was actually going to severely injure that rogue cultivator Genius on the spot!

Seeing this scene, many Human Race Heavenly Pride present immediately frowned.

Quite a few nearby Heavenly Pride instinctively wanted to make a move to rescue their fellow rogue cultivator.

But their attacks had just risen.

The Grand Desolation variant beast with a bear's head and human body let out a cold snort, shattering their attacks in mid-air!

"It's the Melting Gold Bear! Legend has it, a Grand Desolation variant beast that possesses a portion of the Bloodline of the Grand Desolation Royal Clan [Melting Gold Demonic Bear]!"

That rogue cultivator Genius's expression changed instantly, his eyes filled with panic and despair.

The Melting Gold Bear, although not a true Grand Desolation Royal Clan.

Its cultivation age was clearly close to five hundred years, hitting the age limit for entering the Xuan Yuan Ancient Realm.

Its cultivation was incredibly profound, having already reached the Late Stage of the Emperor Realm.

Looking around, unless those Human Race Dao Attainment Seeds made a move, it was simply impossible to block its attack!

But in such a rush, even if the Dao Attainment Seeds were willing to help, how could they possibly arrive in time?

"A mere mongrel, dares to act so fiercely in my Heavenly Profound Dao Continent?"

Just at this critical moment.

From beyond the Nine Heavens, a clear and cold voice sounded.

Immediately after.

"Boom!"

On both sides of Wanling Gorge, under the shocked gaze of millions of experts.

A vast sword light, brilliant as the great sun, swept down with a roar.

In just an instant, it sliced that Melting Gold Bear into flying ash!

"That is..."

"Lu Yu, the Divine Child!?"
