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

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew by, and Su Liyan's cold jade ice flakes emitted a faint light, expelling the surrounding negative energy.

Lu Yuan looked around vigilantly and vaguely felt an evil aura permeating the valley.

"The yin energy here is very strong, we have to be careful."

Lu Yuandian protected the two people with more dense spiritual energy to prevent any accidents.

They continued along the mountain road and finally came to a dark cave.

The entrance of the cave was covered with vines and emitted a strange purple light. It was obviously an unusual place.

"It is said that the Pure Karma Flower is in this cave. We must enter with caution."

Lu Yuan reminded Su Liyan, and the two prepared to step into the cave.

After entering the cave, a strong fishy smell hits you in the face, making you gasp.

In the dim light, they saw that the depths of the cave were covered with black vines, emitting a strange aura.

"The Pure Karma Flower must be somewhere around here."

Su Liyan said in a low voice, she tightly grasped the ice crystal whip and looked around vigilantly.

Suddenly, a shadow flashed by, and a huge scorpion jumped out, spewing poisonous liquid from its mouth, and attacked the two people.

"careful!"

Lu Yuan shouted loudly, wielding the Tiangang Thunder and Fire Sword, turning into a flash of lightning and heading towards the giant scorpion.

Su Liyan was not to be outdone. She held a long ice crystal whip and lashed the giant scorpion's tail neatly, trying to lead it away.

The battle was fierce and brutal. The giant scorpion was extremely vicious. Su Liyan was slightly injured, but she did not retreat. Instead, she fought the giant scorpion even more bravely.

Lu Yuan used the "Five Elements Escape" to transform himself into a body of fire. The power of thunder surged in the Tiangang Thunder and Fire Sword, and every sword strike was like lightning, striking the giant scorpion's insect body.

Finally, with their tacit cooperation, the giant scorpion was repelled and turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the depths of the cave.

The two of them panted and looked at the scorpion corpses all over the ground, feeling a sense of accomplishment in their hearts.

They knew that only by going through such battles could they move forward more firmly on the path of cultivation.

"The Pure Karma Flower should be here. We must search carefully."

Lu Yuan said, and they began to search carefully.

Deep in the cave, they finally found traces of the Pure Karma Flower.

It was a rare medicinal herb that grew in a dark environment. Its petals were crystal clear and emitted a faint fragrance.

“This is the Pure Karma Flower!”

Su Liyan said excitedly as she carefully picked a few flowers and put them into her storage bag.

When approaching the top of the mountain, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan took a short rest and exchanged experiences with other Taoist disciples.

They gathered on a flat hillside, sat together, and shared their experiences in cultivation with each other.

A Taoist disciple said excitedly: "In this second-tier cultivation journey, I finally realized how to use the Qi Refining Technique and felt the beauty of the integration of the Qi of heaven and earth."

Another disciple added: "When I was in retreat, I encountered a test from a spirit beast. Through conversation with it, I realized that the true meaning of practice lies in the peace and tolerance of the mind."

Lu Yuan listened quietly and admired their experience in cultivation.

He knew very well that on the path of spiritual practice he needed to constantly surpass his own limits, and that every breakthrough required tremendous effort and wisdom.

Su Liyan gently patted Lu Yuan's shoulder, signaling them to continue. They set out on the climb again, determined to challenge their own limits and explore deeper mysteries of cultivation.

When they found a relatively flat area, Lu Yuan decided to practice in seclusion there.

He scanned the surroundings, selected a suitable location, and began to build a crude temporary training formation.

Su Liyan set up a protective barrier on the side to ensure that their practice would not be disturbed by the outside world.

She skillfully manipulated the ice magic to condense a crystal ice wall around her, forming an indestructible line of defense.

"This should prevent the spiritual energy from the outside world from interfering with our practice."

Su Liyan said with a smile, showing her ability and sense of responsibility as a team assistant.

Lu Yuan sat on the ground, closed his eyes and began to mobilize the immortal power in his body.

He sank his mind deep into the air, feeling the flow of spiritual energy around him, ready to activate his own cultivation state.

As his cultivation gradually deepened, the vital energy of the surrounding heaven and earth began to surge, forming a powerful attraction.

Lu Yuan felt this power, and a sense of excitement and anticipation arose in his heart.

Su Liyan stood guard quietly by the side, watching Lu Yuan's practice intently.

She had full confidence in Lu Yuan's path of cultivation and believed that he would be able to break through himself and reach new heights.

During his retreat, Lu Yuan did not intend to directly comprehend the power of Heaven, but instead planned to use the collected Pure Karma Flowers to improve his cultivation.

He knows very well that every time of practice is an accumulation, and every bit of progress comes from his own efforts and persistence.

The fragrance of the Pure Karma Flower permeated the mountains, giving Lu Yuan a refreshing feeling and making his practice smoother and more efficient.

He carefully took out the Pure Karma Flower and analyzed it piece by piece, preparing to incorporate it into his own practice.

Su Liyan smiled slightly when she saw this. She knew that Lu Yuan was trying hard to comprehend the power of these pure flowers in order to make greater progress in his cultivation.

On the flat area at the top of the mountain, their figures are quiet and serene, like a tranquil picture, showing the cultivators' dedication and concentration in their practice.

As time went by, the spiritual energy around them gradually became denser, and a layer of faint light enveloped them, as if it was a divine blessing.

As Lu Yuan and Su Liyan continued to climb Tiangang Mountain, the clouds and fog became thicker.

Su Liyan leaned closely against Lu Yuan. She could feel the vitality of heaven and earth contained in the clouds and mist, which made her feel relaxed and happy.

Lu Yuan looked determined as he led Su Liyan forward with firm and steady steps.

He told Su Liyan that there was a special kind of spiritual energy hidden in the clouds of Tiangang Mountain, which was very beneficial to practitioners and could help them comprehend the power of heaven more quickly.

Lu Yuan held the Thunder and Fire Sword tightly in his hand, ready to face any challenges that might arise at any time.

Suddenly, a shrill hissing sound was heard, and a huge crow flew out from the clouds, flapping its wings and swooping down.

Su Liyan's face changed slightly, and the ice crystal whip in her hand instantly condensed into an ice blade, heading towards the crow.

"This is a mutated monster. We must treat it with caution!"

Lu Yuan reminded Su Liyan in a low voice. He concentrated his mind and circulated his immortal power. The Thunder and Fire Sword emitted a dazzling light, and he was ready to engage in a fierce confrontation with the monster.

The crow swooped down at them, emitting an evil black aura as if it wanted to devour all life.

Su Liyan's cold eyes flashed with a determined light. She waved the ice crystal whip, turning the ice blade into a series of sharp blades and rushed towards the crow. (End of this chapter)
