A massive amount of extremely refined energy surged into Lu Xuan’s body.
More importantly, the energy hardly conflicted with the energy that was already inside of him. The energy in his body was of the same source as those that surged into him, after all. That made it easier for the energy to completely meld with him.
Meanwhile, vast amounts of information surged into his mind as well.
The spirit of the sacred ancestor smiled as he saw that Lu Xuan had completely entered the state of nirvana. He then said, “Farewell, my descendant.”
The spirit of the sacred ancestor then instantly disappeared from Lu Xuan’s mind.
Now, Lu Xuan had completely entered the transformative state of nirvana.
If one looked at him from the outside, it seemed as if he had golden threads coiling all over him. The golden threads tangled and wrapped him up completely. The phenomenon looked chaotic yet orderly at the same time, seeing constant, mystical changes the whole time.
The energy surged inside every cell in his body, which had been preparing for nirvana in the first place. Under the stimulation from the massive surge of energy of the same source, the process was accelerated at a frightening rate, allowing him to complete his transformation.
An intense cold sweat broke out on his back, which looked so wet that it made him look like he had just been fished out of some tank. While his willpower meant that he didn’t have the urge to cry out from the pain, it still felt as if his body was undergoing a massive change.
It felt as if every cell harbored terrifying energies that exploded within like volcanoes erupting. Every single cell was like a world of its own. At that moment, every single cell met its doom. Terrifying energies tore everything apart and reassembled everything.
His body had only been excreting cold sweat before, yet it didn’t take long for the cold sweat to become bloody sweat; blood was excreted out of his body alongside the sweat.
He couldn’t help but shiver all over.
Every single second felt like torture and he had no idea how much time passed. Right now, the whole process felt like an eternity for him.
When the last cell in his body was torn apart and reassembled, he had finally achieved nirvana.
Hah…
He let out a very long sigh, and the power of his breath almost made the exhale a gale.
Blood mixed with sweat collected on the ground around him, staining the entire place red.
All of that blood was toxic blood that was excreted from his body while his cells were changing.
His body had been newly cleansed from inside-out. After the ordeal, he discovered that his Spiritual Aether, along with the massive reserve, had returned and rumbled.
He had never been in a better state before now.
Furthermore, the transformation was more than just for show. To his delight, he discovered that his level had gone to higher heights after the ordeal, enabling him to make a breakthrough into the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm.
He looked at his fair, supple hands, the skin which truly looked as soft as those of a baby, yet the energy harbored within had never been so terrifying before.
Nearby, Liu Haotian finished undergoing his own transformation too. Liu Haotian was far below Lu Xuan in terms of both cultivation level and powers; he completely paled in comparison to Lu Xuan.
“You need at least three months to truly complete your transformation.”
Lu Xuan calculated the time and found that he had finished the process in just half a month. In contrast, Liu Haotian needed to wait three months before the process was finished.
Lu Xuan laughed to the top of his lungs and said, “Hahahahaha, I’ve never felt any better! My foundations weren’t just completely solidified. More importantly, all of my powers have been unlocked as well.”
One of the most important things about his nirvana and transformation was to solidify his foundations, as only by doing so would he be able to make further progress.
Not only did he reach the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm, but he had also risen to the very pinnacle of that tier. It was possible for him to break into the next tier, the eighth tier of the Divine Transformation Realm.
By then, he didn’t have to be afraid of almost anyone.
Even in his current state, his powers were still terrifying enough. His normal combat prowess was already comparable to those at the eighth tier of the Divine Transformation Realm. If he were to use Auric Flower, he would probably be able to match the combat prowess of those at the ninth tier of the Divine Transformation Realm.
If he ran into someone like the Red-brow Immortal, who was a common cultivator at the ninth tier of Divine Transformation Realm, he would have been able to pummel that man to death using his own powers alone.
There wouldn’t have been any need for tricks and calculations. Such was the confidence brought about by the advancement of his powers.
Lu Xuan sat cross-legged midair, training while he covered for Liu Haotian.
At that moment, he suddenly opened his eyes to find a fissure torn in that concealed extradimensional space.
Someone emerged out of that fissure.
It was a middle-aged man dressed in Taoist robes.
“An elder of the Immemorial Path?” Lu Xuan was able to recognize the identity of that middle-aged Taoist priest. Not only was the elder wearing the robes of the sect, but the fluctuations of that man’s Spiritual Aether also gave away that man’s identity.
That man was indeed an elder of the Immemorial Path, who had practiced and brought the method of the sect to extremely profound levels.
Lu Xuan closed his eyes right away and said nothing. Not knowing what that elder of the sect was up to, he simply pretended to have not seen anything.
That middle-aged Taoist priest entered the secret realm and saw both of them inside. He flashed a beaming smile on his face right away.
They truly are here!
That middle-aged Taoist priest noted to himself. Only Lu Xuan acted as the guardian of the child from the sacred bloodline. That was an opportunity like no other for him.
Let’s get rid of this unknown guy first.
That middle-aged Taoist priest chuckled coldly and made his move right away. He quickly raised his hands and conjured an image of the Yin Yang Fish in midair. It then burst into boundless golden light, giving rise to dazzling combative qi.
The image then went to hover right above Lu Xuan before locking him in place immediately.
The middle-aged Taoist priest then brandished his sword and charged at Lu Xuan at blitzing speeds, aiming straight for Lu Xuan’s throat.
He had first locked Lu Xuan down before going for the throat with a single thrust of the sword. That was to say that he had no intentions of leaving Lu Xuan alive; he went for the kill right away.
Clang!
Just as the sword was about to pierce Lu Xuan, two fingers came out of nowhere and clamped down on the blade.
“What?” That middle-aged Taoist priest was now flustered by what had happened. He saw that Lu Xuan had somehow managed to raise his index and middle finger to clamp down the blade. Given how strong that clamping force was, the elder couldn’t move forward or backward.
What shocked him even more was that Lu Xuan should have been rendered completely immobile. He never expected anything like this to have happened. Not only was Lu Xuan still capable of moving about, the young man even managed to stop that elder’s attack right away.
“How is this possible?”
That middle-aged Taoist priest found it hard to believe.
