Chapter 254: Chapter 253: Reunion with Jin Xi, Emperor’s Oar (First Update, Please Subscribe)
Stepping out of the Cave Mansion, sensing the aura of the Grand Elder, the Grand Elder has also reached the Ninth-Layer of the Purple Mansion.
But the remaining lifespan is less than sixty years.
The remaining sixty years are not enough to reach the Golden Core.
"The Grand Elder’s lifespan is limited, and crafting an Upper Grade Golden Core is somewhat difficult for Wanyi!" Lu Xuanji pondered, greeted the cultivators of the family, and disappeared.
About a quarter of an hour later, he arrived at Purple Sun Mountain.
The mountain remains unchanged, people also unchanged, but the aura has drastically changed.
Nearby, seven mountain ranges connect with the underground Spirit Vein, resembling a dormant dragon; also drawing force from the sun, Power of Taiyin, Power of the Stars, etc., falling upon the Grand Array, transforming through formations into gentle power, nurturing cultivators for cultivation.
In just ten years, the situation here has undergone earth-shaking changes, as if transforming the world.
Just approaching, one can feel the dense Spiritual Qi.
The abundance of Spiritual Qi around makes him feel at ease.
As if sensing something, the Grand Array opened automatically, a guiding light fell on Lu Xuanji, and then Lu Xuanji disappeared.
The void shifted; when he appeared again, he was inside a Cave Mansion.
Inside the Cave Mansion, a woman sat gracefully on a bed, her skin like jade, long hair floating, her body as light as a feather. Her eyes gleamed like gemstones, her eyebrows curved, exuding endless charm.
Her dress flowed, with proud curves, her graceful body rising and falling, exuding endless allure, though now she was annoyed.
"Xuanji, why did you come only now?"
Jin Xi spoke, her voice melodious yet carrying a hint of menace: "Ten years, do you know how I’ve spent these ten years? I once saw mortals say, ’A day apart feels like three autumns,’ and laughed at their ignorance. But now I know the pain of longing!"
"Linglong dice hide red beans, do you know about love to the bone?"
"Xi’Er, I missed you too!"
Lu Xuanji stepped forward, embracing Jin Xi, feeling her beautiful body and smelling the light fragrance on her, he said, "These years, I have been missing you too. The never-ending feelings, the unforgettable dreams, I’ve been thinking of you, and our days together!"
"After handling matters at home, I came to see you immediately!"
"Xuanji..."
Leaning into his arms, her heart filled with countless grievances, yet at this moment, they vanished like smoke.
Many times, she didn’t need a reason, just an explanation.
Even if the explanation seemed false and naive, she still willingly believed it.
"I’ve missed you!"
"I missed you too!"
Entwined with each other, clothes loose, not knowing how much time passed, the two adjusted their clothing.
Jin Xi said, "You should stay here!"
"Alright!"
Lu Xuanji said, "Do you have any Longevity Elixir here?"
"I don’t have it here!"
Jin Xi replied.
"What a pity..." Lu Xuanji thought to himself.
"But I do have longevity herbs here, you can use them for Alchemy!" Jin Xi smiled again.
"Thank you!"
Lu Xuanji said, planting another kiss on her.
"Xuanji, you don’t need a Longevity Elixir!" Jin Xi laughed.
"The Grand Elder has less than sixty years of lifespan left. Without a Longevity Elixir, reaching the Golden Core would be nearly impossible!" Lu Xuanji said.
"You, because of some dragging you down, if it weren’t for them, you might have already reached the Golden Core!" Jin Xi sighed, with a hint of exasperation.
"If immortality means loneliness, destined to be a tragedy, then such eternal life is not worth having!" Lu Xuanji laughed, "Once there were cultivators, who ascended en masse, they had great courage, but if I cherish those close to me, it’s possible!"
Jin Xi said, "Xuanji, do you know why I chose you? Because of your deep love and righteousness, your unwillingness to let go. In the Jin Family, emotions among cultivators are thin, bound only by interests. But in you, I see feelings, I see human love!"
"Being near you gives me a sense of security!"
With a face full of tenderness, Jin Xi reached out her right hand, caressing his face, as if imprinting his visage, remembering everything.
After the joy, the two stood up, tidied their clothes, and returned to a calm appearance.
Opening the Cave Mansion, Jin Xi led the way, Lu Xuanji slightly behind her.
Walking on Purple Sun Mountain, they strolled while whispering sweet words.
Within three meters, the space is sealed, preventing words from leaking.
Their relationship, for now, must remain secret, unable to be revealed to others, underground romance.
Feeling the Spiritual Qi here, it’s three times more abundant than that of the Lu Family; moreover, the Spiritual Qi here carries a unique vitality, absorbing it is faster and gentler.
"After entering the Nascent Soul, I spent more than ten years establishing Fifth Grade Grand Arrays, with three grand arrays surrounding Purple Sun Mountain. One Array of Yin and Yang Life and Death, capable of stirring Yin Yang Qi, evolving into the Power of Annihilation, suppressing Nascent Soul Cultivators; one is the Sun and Moon Star Array, capable of drawing from the heavenly Power of the Sun, Power of Taiyin, and Power of the Stars, transforming into gentle strength, tempering the cultivator’s flesh and physique; another is the Dragon Transformation and Spirit Nourishing Array, capable of gathering underground Spirit Veins, gradually transforming into a Fifth Grade Dragon Vein!"
Jin Xi spoke enthusiastically about some array layouts on Purple Sun Mountain.
Three grand arrays, one Killing Array, one Spirit Gathering Array, one Star Array, all Fifth Grade.
Individually, a grand array is nothing, but if three grand arrays are overlaid, the destructive power is immense, enough to pose a life-threatening danger to late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
This is the terrifying aspect of an Array Master.
In the Cultivation Immortality Realm, Array Masters leverage the strength of mountain Spirit Veins, the force formed by the sun and moon, the forces of heaven and earth, to constantly enhance their combat power and annihilate formidable opponents.
After ten years of efforts, this place is as solid as gold, breaking through here requires a significant price, enough to become a nightmare for many cultivators.
Walking along, they approached near the Medicine Garden.
Jin Xi opened the formations, and both entered.
Entering the Medicine Garden, Lu Xuanji immediately sensed the different aura here.
Through the transformation of the arrays, there is a hint of purple mist here, forming droplets, falling to the ground, appearing bright and crystalline, with a unique charm.
Chirp chirp!
At this moment, a fist-sized insect flew out from the Spirit Beast Bag, happily absorbing the purple mist.
"Is this Emperor’s Oar!"
Lu Xuanji looked at the purple mist and couldn’t help but ask.
"Indeed, it’s Emperor’s Oar!" Jin Xi said, "In the Chaos Hall, there is an array that can transform the Power of the Stars into Emperor’s Oar, I’ve inscribed it into the Medicine Garden."
