However, the offensive power of the eight-tailed Dharma Idol was still not comparable to Xu Wan’er’s blood-colored sword tomb.
Furthermore, Meng Ruyan was a demonic cultivator while Xu Wan ‘er was a sword cultivator.
Although demonic cultivators had the advantage in terms of physique and spiritual energy storage among those of the same level, in terms of offense, sword cultivators were the most tyrannical among their peers.
As a result, after a long fight, Meng Ruyan was ultimately defeated by Xu Wan’er.
This result was beyond everyone’s expectations.
The battle between the two was the finale of this thousand-year battle, though the outcome of the battle wouldn’t affect the outcome of this thousand-year battle.
This was because, before this, the Stellar Moon Cave had already won the battle.
Therefore, the next thousand years’ worth of chaos Spiritual mine would belong to the Stellar Moon Cave.
Seeing that the situation was about right, Lu Yuan pretended to have just finished his seclusion and came out of his residence.
When he arrived at the Qingyun Sect’s main peak, someone immediately noticed his change.
“Hmm?”
Jing Ming looked at Lu Yuan, whom he had not seen for a long time, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
This guy who didn’t strive for improvement actually became a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator?
Xu Ze from the Stellar Cave also noticed Lu Yuan.
Because of Meng Ruyan, the other party had been paying attention to Lu Yuan. Especially after knowing that the latter had defeated a prodigy of the Stellar Moon Cave head-on, he became even more concerned about him.
It was just that some time ago, due to the impending thousand-year battle, coupled with the fact that Lu Yuan was still in seclusion, he did not have the opportunity to properly interact with the latter.
Now, he saw that Lu Yuan had also reached the Nascent Soul Stage and was less than 300 years old, it made him have thoughts of roping the latter in.
According to the previous information, Lu Yuan’s talent was not particularly outstanding, and there were certain flaws in his personality.
However, the other party had deep attainments in arrays and medicinal pills, which was very rare.
Whether it was pharmacists or array masters, they were rare talents even in the Upper Realm.
Moreover, because of the concentration of spiritual energy in the Upper Realm, the effects of pills and arrays were much more terrifying than in the Lower Realm.
In terms of importance, pharmacists or array masters of the same level were almost a tier higher than other cultivators.
Lu Yuan, who was at the Nascent Soul Stage, relied on his advantages in arrays and pill refinement to obtain treatment almost comparable to Apotheosis Stage cultivators in other sects.
Even this was the lowest treatment.
If he went to the Stellar Moon Cave, his treatment might be even better.
After all, there weren’t many pharmacists and array masters in the Stellar Moon Cave.
Thinking of this, Xu Ze quickly made his decision.
Since the other party was still in the Lower Realm and obviously had not chosen to go to the Upper Realm, the Stellar Moon Cave would have the opportunity to recruit such talent.
Even if Lu Yuan was in the territory of Spirit Sword Sect, it was the same.
Of course, Xu Ze felt that it would be best if his head-hunting was done in secret. Otherwise, if he attracted Jing Ming’s attention, his operation might not go smoothly.
However, when he thought about Lu Yuan and Meng Ruyan’s relationship, Xu Ze still felt very confident.
Since ancient times, heroes could not resist beautiful ladies, and it was the same for immortal cultivators.
In fact, the influence of a beautiful lady on a cultivator was much greater than that of a mortal.
After all, the existence of heart demons was to infinitely magnify the desires in a cultivator’s heart.
Xu Ze felt that as long as Meng Ruyan made a move, they should be able to take Lu Yuan down easily.
As such, he was no longer in a hurry. He even started deploying smoke screens.
“Fellow Daoist Jing Ming, the Spirit Sword Sect has been producing so many talents recently. Just this small Moon Serpent Realm has produced so many talents, and the strange thing is that many of them actually come from the Qingyun Sect. Could it be that the Qingyun Sect is a sect specially nurtured by the Spirit Sword Sect in the Lower Realm?”
Jing Ming looked at Xu Ze in confusion. He did not understand why this old fox was saying all this.
One had to know that they had just lost to the Stellar Moon Cave, and now the other party was saying that Spirit Sword Sect produced many talents?
Did the other party want to take the opportunity to mock the Spirit Sword Sect after winning?
After being provoked by Xu Ze, Jing Ming lost interest in observing Lu Yuan.
After all, he did not know about Lu Yuan’s and the Stellar Moon Cave’s fox demon’s battle for the time being, so there was an information gap.
After being provoked by Xu Ze, Jing Ming immediately stood up and left the hall. It was obvious that he did not want to stay under the same roof as the former anymore.
He was worried that he couldn’t control his emotions and slashed the old fox with his sword.
After seeing Jing Ming leave, Xu Ze’s smile became even brighter.
Then, he looked at Lu Yuan and revealed a kind smile.
Lu Yuan was instantly dumbfounded by this smile.
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and figured out the reason after sensing Xu Ze’s kindness.
Good heavens, had this old fellow taken a fancy to him?
Lu Yuan did not expect that the smoke screen he released didn’t attract the attention of Jing Ming, the Spirit Sword Sect cultivator, but instead attracted the attention of the old fox Xu Ze.
This made him feel that he had miscalculated a little.
It seemed that he had underestimated the secrecy of the group of fox demons from the Stellar Moon Cave.
Even after such a long time, they had not released the news of his victory over the fox demon Fang Yu.
However, this was not the key. He had countless ways to attract the attention of the Spirit Sword Sect and then enter the Upper Realm.
Although the Stellar Moon Cave seemed like a good place to go with many fox demon ladies inside, he might have considered if he had not awakened a Dharma Idol like the Lesser Celestial Eradication Sword Array.
But now that he had the Lesser Celestial Sword Array, the best place for him to go was still the Spirit Sword Sect.
At this point, if he wanted to improve his cultivation, he needed to first comprehend a way of the heavens that was suitable for him.
The way of the heavens he wanted to comprehend was also very obvious. It was the way of the sword.
And the best way to cultivate the way of the sword was undoubtedly to comprehend some powerful sword intents.
The place that could meet this condition was none other than the Spirit Sword Sect.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuan decided to start his other plan to enter the Spirit Sword Sect.
This plan was very simple, and that was to ask Xu Wan’er to introduce him.
Moreover, there were benefits to doing this. After all, once he was labeled as a connected person, the people of the Spirit Sword Sect should not pay too much attention to him.
This coincided with his cultivation requirements of staying low-key.
The passageway between the two worlds.
“Xiao Meng, don’t think about it too much. Everyone has their aspirations. Lu Yuan is a human cultivator, after all. It’s normal that he doesn’t want to join the Stellar Moon Cave.”
Meng Ruyan looked at Xu Ze, who was comforting herself. Thinking back to how she had invited Lu Yuan to the Stellar Moon Cave a few days ago but was rejected by him, she couldn’t help but feel indignant.
Originally, she thought that if she were to personally invite Lu Yuan, he would probably agree with her given their relationship.
After all, no matter how one looked at it, as long as she was around, Lu Yuan’s situation in the Stellar Moon Cave should not be too bad.
Unfortunately, dreams were beautiful, but the reality was harsh.
In the end, Lu Yuan still chose to go to the Spirit Sword Sect, and contrasting from the identity of a direct disciple offered by the Stellar Moon Cave, he went to the Spirit Sword Sect as an ordinary disciple.
She really couldn’t figure out why Lu Yuan would give up a direct disciple offer and go to the Spirit Sword Sect to be an ordinary disciple.
Moreover, she had heard that he went to the Spirit Sword Sect through Xu Wan’er’s recommendation.
This made her even more upset when she heard the news.
Meng Ruyan had been brooding over her defeat to Xu Wan’er, and now she had lost to the latter in this aspect too.
This made Meng Ruyan, who had a proud personality, very unconvinced.
However, she wasn’t an ordinary person, after all. After some psychological adjustments, she regained her cold and aloof appearance.
Now, Lu Yuan had gone to the Upper Realm.
Given the complicated relationship between the Stellar Moon Cave and the Spirit Sword Sect, she felt that she would have many opportunities to meet the two of them in the future.
She wanted to see if Lu Yuan, who chose to join the Spirit Sword Sect, would have a better development.
However, Meng Ruyan had forgotten about Lu Yuan’s personality.
For better resources, ordinary people would indeed walk around and look for resources.
But Lu Yuan was not an ordinary person.
As long as he entered the Spirit Sword Sect, no one could let him leave easily!
