Start flat, cut off the wife of the five-star empress

The spiritual power emanating from Lu Yuan's body intertwined with the gray-white mist that filled the room, forming a beautiful and solemn scene.

A faint golden light suddenly appeared between his brows, accompanied by a faint sound of thunder.

The soul gold thread fused with the blood of the Thunder Ancestral Dragon danced around Lu Yuan's body, making a soaring sound.

Lu Yuan felt subtle fluctuations coming from the dragon ball in his body, and he realized that this was a signal that a critical moment was about to come in the incubation process.

"I can't wait any longer!"

Lu Yuan felt determined in his heart and decided to speed up the incubation process.

As he thought, the thunder blood in his body was like a volcano erupting, instantly releasing strong and fiery energy.

The surrounding air seemed to be ignited, and the electric light was bright. Lu Yuan was deeply involved in cultivation. He concentrated on controlling the golden thread of soul, constantly driving the thunder blood in his body.

Beside him, a gray mist began to thicken.

Just as Lu Yuan was immersed in practice, a chuckle broke the tranquility.

"Haha, it seems you are really a naive guy."

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment and looked back, only to see Zi Xi'er standing sternly on the roadside.

She was wearing a long purple dress, her long hair cascading down her shoulders like ink, and her face was beautiful and flawless.

However, there was a hint of sarcasm on her beautiful face.

"Are you actually still practicing?"

"What's the use of such paranoid behavior?"

Zi Xi'er looked at Lu Yuan with disdain.

Lu Yuan turned around and said with a smile: "Cultivation is a way for me to improve my strength and protect myself and my loved ones."

“Although it takes a little longer and consumes more energy, it’s worth it to me.”

Zi Xi'er sneered: "Is it worth it?"

"Do you think you can be invincible with those magical skills?"

"Lu Yuan, do you know that in this world, immortal magic is just an illusion of nothingness."

Lu Yuan looked at her calmly: "Zi Xi'er, I didn't say that immortal magic can make me invincible."

"Practice is just a way for me to achieve my goals."

"Everyone has their own choices and beliefs."

A trace of doubt flashed across Zi Xi'er's face. She didn't expect Lu Yuan to respond with such an attitude.

"You...why do you think so?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said: "Because in my eyes, everyone has potential that can be developed."

"I believe that as long as we work hard, we can overcome any difficulty."

Zi Xi'er frowned slightly: "What a joke!"

"Do you think practicing can change everything?"

"Some things are irreversible."

Lu Yuan sighed softly: "Maybe, in some cases, we can't completely change our fate."

"But at least we tried hard and left no regrets."

His voice gradually dropped, and then he closed his eyes again and continued practicing.

Looking at his focused back, Zi Xi'er felt a complex emotion in her heart.

His persistence and determination made her doubt her own ideas. Lu Yuan took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.

Then, he felt a breeze blowing by, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of alarm in his heart.

Next to him, a mysterious woman appeared.

Wearing a blue robe, she looked like a fairy on a fairy mountain.

Her long hair hangs down to her waist like a waterfall, and there is an air of pride between her brows.

"Nice to meet you, Lu Yuan." The mysterious woman said softly.

"I saw the conversation between you and Zi Xi'er, and I heard clearly your persistence and determination in cultivation."

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure.

"who are you?"

"How do you know my name?" He stared at the mysterious woman alertly.

The mysterious woman smiled and explained: "I am a bystander and have no malicious intentions."

"I just want to tell you some news."

She paused, "I can help you win Zi Xi'er's favor."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan's heart moved.

Although he was not sure whether he should trust this stranger, for Zi Xi'er's sake, he decided to listen to what this person had to say.

"How can you help me?" Lu Yuan asked, raising his eyebrows.

The mysterious woman smiled and said, "Well, this requires your cooperation with me."

"I am a disciple of Guanyin Temple and have a special ability."

"As long as you are willing, I can help you cast a magic spell that will impress Zi Xi'er."

Lu Yuan shook his head after thinking for a moment.

"Thank you for your offer, but I refuse."

His voice was firm and resolute.

A trace of disappointment flashed in the mysterious woman's eyes, but her smile soon returned.

"Since you don't need my help, forget it."

"However, if you need it in the future, please don't hesitate to contact me." After she said that, she turned to leave.

"and many more!"

Lu Yuan suddenly said, "Although I don't need your help, I still want to thank you."

The mysterious woman stopped and nodded gently. Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan quickly left the deserted valley, still doubting the identity of the woman in blue.

He wants to know who she is and what kind of power she possesses.

A few days later, Lu Yuan and Zi Xi'er came to a beautiful Orchid Valley.

The fragrance of flowers overflows here, as if you are in a mysterious fairyland.

After leaving the dull and depressing valley, the two of them became happy.

While they were admiring the beautiful scenery of Orchid Valley, a gust of wind suddenly blew by.

The menacing woman in blue appeared in front of them again.

"Finally found you."

The woman in blue glanced at Lu Yuan and Zi Xi'er, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

Lu Yuan's face changed slightly, but he did not react to her mysterious words.

"and who are you?"

Zi Xi'er stepped forward warily, "Why are you always following us?"

The woman in blue smiled lightly: "I was just passing by."

She didn't seem to want to answer the question directly.

"However, since you keep mentioning the Tiangang Beidou Formation, do you really know how to use it?"

Lu Yuan was startled for a moment, then showed a thoughtful look.

He realized that the woman in blue knew exactly what was on his mind.

But at the same time, remain polite.

"We're still learning."

Lu Yuan replied with respect, "Tiangang Beidou Formation is a very complicated spell. I still need more time to understand it."

The corners of the woman's mouth in blue were slightly raised, showing a hint of majesty and provocation.

"Huh, you said it lightly."

"The Tiangang Beidou Formation is a top-notch secret that has been passed down for thousands of years. It can form an invincible force with the power of the stars, but how confident are you that you can master it?"

Lu Yuan was not swayed by the sharp and sarcastic words of the woman in blue.

"Although I haven't completely mastered it yet, there is no doubt that I will try my best." He said firmly. (End of chapter)
