even their initial expectations. But with the appearance of the Ghost Clan's Ten Directions Karmic Wheel Formation, the human race's trump card – the Nine Yang Annihilation Formation, fueled by the......Thinking Guest, the fastest update!

"If it weren't for the Seven Cities Sword, how many people would have known of Wuming But that man was just born with such good fortune. We can only admire him from afar." Bai Ruxue sighed, "Speaking of which, Dongfang has been away from Jiuyang City for some time now. I wonder how he is doing now, whether he has broken through to the Heavenly Immortal realm."

"Indeed, Mu Xia and Dongfang, who originally had the greatest hope of breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal realm first, have now vanished without a trace. Instead, the two of us who were lagging behind have advanced first. It's truly a strange turn of events." Nie Tianhou also shook his head and smiled.

“Who breaks through the realm first is indeed hard to say. Some people, the more solid their foundation, the greater the difficulty in breaking through might be. It's really less interesting for us not to get together." Bai Ruxue said, her eyes gazing into the distance, "The chaos in Jiuyang City will soon begin, and Hou Yi won't remain peaceful. You are not originally from Jiuyang City. While the war hasn't arrived yet, it's best to leave sooner rather than later.”

“Your thoughts are too pessimistic. Jiuyang City is a major city of the Honghuang Heavenly Court after all. Even if the demons of Luo’an Prison are powerful, how could they easily capture Jiuyang City With the City Lord and the nameless sword fairy here, plus the countless foundations left by Jiuyang City over the ages, the Heavenly Court can also send reinforcements at any time. How could anything happen to Jiuyang City” Nie Tianhou said unconcernedly.

"Though that may be so, with the current chaos and you only just breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal realm, you wouldn't come to Jiuyang City unless it was absolutely necessary, wouldn't you" Bai Ruxue smiled.

“I originally came to find the Eastern Cultivator, hoping he could help me refine a few medicinal pills. I also wanted to see how you all were doing. However, I didn't expect the Eastern Cultivator to be gone until now.” Nie Tianhou sighed.

“Yes, my master Jing Xiu also needs a continuous supply of elixirs. After the departure of a Daoist alchemist, no one in the entire Jiuyang City could surpass Dongfang's alchemy skills. Giving some elixirs to others for refining was not always reassuring. Moreover, these years have become increasingly turbulent, and all the alchemists in Jiyan Stone City are so busy that they can hardly touch the ground. Even my master, the supply of elixirs has not been as abundant as before.” Bai Ruxue smiled bitterly. Since her master Xue Dao Yuan was severely injured by the Erosion Heart Demon, although he had recovered his life, his foundation was damaged, and it was unknown how many years it would take to recover to its former glory. Now that Xue Dao Yuan is in seclusion, his strength is far from what it used to be, and his status in Jiuyang City is naturally not what it used to be.”

It's alright during ordinary times, but now that the Heaven Court is embroiled in war on all sides, and Nine Yang City even more so, resources and manpower are scarce. Naturally, the demand for high-level elixirs is not easily met.

Even Xue Dao'yuan at this time was not so well supplied.

“Shen Tu has been in seclusion for several months now, and there's still no sign of him breaking through. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to gather enough people for a while.” Nie Tianhou shook his head. “Well, let's just say that Dong Fang left some good wine behind. I'll go grab some to drink and stay in Jiuyang City for a while longer. If we don't meet by then, I can only leave for a while.”

At this moment when the situation in Jiuyang City was turbulent, Lu Xia Tian's expression was strange. Since his last projection to the Demon Realm went awry and his demonized projection clone swallowed another projection of him, Lu Xia Tian had stopped projecting to the Demon Realm. Instead, he turned to exploring other voids. On one hand, he wanted to see if there was a possibility of projecting to other dimensions. On the other hand, through this exploration, by sensing the spatial fluctuations in the void, he could further comprehend the mysteries of the laws of space.

However, for Lu Xia Tian the most important thing was still to focus on refining and repairing the puppet warriors.

While Lu Xia Tian was using his projection avatar to explore the void, the projection avatar unexpectedly entered a spatial vortex. The spatial vortex was extremely violent, leaving Lu Xia Tian's projection avatar with no room to struggle.

Even the raging spatial power weakened the strength of his projection clone continuously, and after a short while, it was reduced to barely reaching the level of a True Immortal. Just as Lu Xiaoteng was about to give up, the spatial vortex churned. When the projection clone reacted, an extremely familiar aura surged from all around.

“The Spirit Realm” Back when Lu XiaTian first entered the Spirit Realm, he was merely at the stage of a physical cultivator transforming into a divine being. The Spirit Realm was one of the most crucial stages in his cultivation journey. Back then, to search for any trace of Luo Qing, Lu XiaTian had traversed almost every corner of the Spirit Realm. He was intimately familiar with its aura. Even after many years since he ascended to the Immortal Realm, the Spirit Realm’s aura remained as deeply imprinted on him as a memory.

Looking far and wide, it was a chaotic scene. An open field in the mountains witnessed a duel between a bearded man and a sword cultivator in a green dress. A large crowd of spectators surrounded them. Both were cultivators at the late stage of Nascent Soul realm, fighting fiercely, their battle raging like fire. The spectators roared and cheered, while some placed bets. Lu Xiaoteng had participated in martial arts competitions before, so he was naturally familiar with the scene before him.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“Since I’m in the Spirit Realm, it would be good to take a good look around.” Lu Xia Tian looked around with interest. After sneaking into the Immortal Realm for so many years, the Spirit Realm hasn't changed much from before. The spiritual energy is generally stable. As long as the spiritual energy is rich enough, this Spirit Realm will naturally nurture enough powerful people.

Although many of Lu Xia Tian's old friends have already gone to the Immortal Realm, or the Demon Realm, and even Luo Qian and Su Qing might have gone to the Ghost Realm. There are still some people who haven't been able to leave this world.

For example, there was Red Moon, the alchemy disciple who had once been under my tutelage, and Fish Xiaoqiao, whose heart still held some imperfections...

At present, Lu XiaTian's projection clone's strength is roughly equivalent to a True Immortal. In this Spirit Realm, unless he encounters another monster from the lower realms like Yuan Shi Jian Mo, it would be difficult to find an opponent.

Along the way, I passed through the Ghost Realm and within the sphere of influence of the Zhuzhu Buddha Sect. Back then, the Zhuzhu Buddha Sect was considered the strongest sect in this realm, with overwhelming power. However, during the battle with Lu Xiaoteng, they suffered losses, losing several high-ranking monks in the Great Vehicle stage. Finally, Ruyi Zen Master ascended to the Great Vehicle stage, and Xiang Hua had been cultivated by the Zhuzhu Buddha Sect for many years.

Under Lu Xia Tian's deliberate support, the Shezhu Buddha Sect managed to avoid a complete downfall. Over these many years, although the Shezhu Buddha Sect has not returned to its peak period, it is still one of the top forces in this world. As Lu Xia Tian's influence swept through the past, the territory of the Shezhu Buddha Sect unexpectedly saw another tribulation-crossing cultivator and two Great Accomplishment stage monks. Such strength is already rare in the Spirit Realm, with few daring to provoke them.

Lu XiaTian's projected avatar scanned with his divine sense, and he didn't try to conceal it too much. Those whose realms were too low, even those at the Nascent Soul stage, were almost oblivious.ghostly power pushed the frost-cold jade liquid in the small pool apart to both sides. 。After about the time of an incense stick, a surge of energy rippled through the seemingly unremarkable bottom of...
