word formation, tightly protecting the surroundings, making himself as secure as an iron barrel, with no trace of vulnerability. Xiang Qingcheng was unable to do anything about it.These Wind and Snow..."Congratulations, Brother Lu, on reaching the Nascent Soul stage!" Ye Ziyu looked at Lu Xiaoteng, whose spirit was even brighter than before, and her admiration was unconcealed. She had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm thanks to half a sword embryo left behind by City Lord Ye, while Lu Xiaoteng hadn't taken the easiest path to success... 。instead chose a much more difficult combined state cultivation 。Finally, it was all smooth sailing. 。After breaking through to the Hè Tǐ stage of cultivation, Lu Xia Tian felt an overwhelming sense of relief. Since his first trip to cultivate and reach the Huá Shén stage, he had been constantly shrouded in the ominous cloud of the ethereal sword embryo. He never knew who might suddenly appear at any time. 。Although the sword embryo is still faintly present within my body, I have already cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage. I am no longer a small fry who can be slaughtered at will like before. 。At least facing a formidable cultivator like Wu Changlian, Lu Xia Tian was no longer completely helpless. 。"Lu Ge, what should we do next" Ye Ziyu asked. 。“I plan to return to Luanqingxu first. You and I have both just broken through to the Heti realm, and we need to stabilize our realms. I also have some things to attend to in Luanqingxu.” 。Lu Xiaodao 。“Wherever Big Brother Lu goes, I naturally go wherever he goes.” 。"Ye Zi smiled, her eyes crinkling at the corners." 。"I believe Lord Ye has left you with some power, which you can use to find out the whereabouts of Wuchanglian. After our cultivation stabilizes, we will go and seek him out." 。Lü Xiaotien could see the hesitation behind Ye Ziyu's smile and said directly, 。“Good, being able to team up with Brother Lu, we’re sure to kill Wu Changlian and avenge my father.” 。"Ye Ziyu relaxed slightly when she heard this." 。After reaching the realm of unification, Lu Xia Tian suppressed the ethereal sword embryo with little effort using the power of his blood essence, which had undergone a complete transformation within him. 。The ethereal sword embryo and the remaining parts of the sword embryos also resisted for a while, but they did not cause much of a stir before being forcefully suppressed by the power of the blood gang. 。"Elder Brother Lu, you could have broken through to the Hē Tǐ sword cultivator stage much faster. Why did you deliberately delay it" On their way back, Ye Ziyu asked Lu Xia Tian while they were both cultivating to stabilize their realms and had some free time. 。The drawbacks of Jiantai are too numerous. 。I don't want to be controlled by the Sword Embryo. Given a choice, I wouldn't choose the Sword Embryo. 。Lu Xiaotian said straightforwardly. 。Ye Ziyu's situation is different from his. He has more choices, while Ye Ziyu, who has always regarded swordsmanship as the core of his cultivation, does not. 。"Brother Lu has lofty aspirations, and I also want to cultivate other techniques. It's just that when cultivating swordsmanship, it takes too long. Cultivating other skills afterwards might be twice the effort for half the result." 。"Yèzi Yú heard the words and shook her head with a smile. She knew what Lù Xiǎotiān was saying made sense, but her feelings towards the ethereal sword embryo were not as profound as his." 。After all, she wasn't like Lu Xia Tian, who had been in a long-term struggle with the body sword embryo. 。"Well then, let it be so." 。
