Chapter 659: 343: Third Level of the Heavenly Human Realm
Lu Yun smiled and waved at Chang Xiaorui before leaping away, leaving Cold Lake and returning to the area of the number nine Origin Vein.
As for Chang Xiaorui, she contemplated for a while; it had been a long time since she met with her best friend Yuan Yao, and she wanted to see her.
The others also dispersed one after another.
Returning to the Grand Array Hall, Lu Yun couldn’t wait to open his status panel.
Previously, when he annihilated the Origin Beasts, the Luck Value had not changed.
Now, having slain many Demon Beasts in Cold Lake, he wanted to verify it once again.
[Name]: Lu Yun
[Faction]: Ordinary disciple of the Tai Yuan lineage of Qinghuo Palace
[Divine Power Value]: 2 (increases automatically by 0.2 each day)
[Luck Value]: 352,000 (increases automatically by twelve each day, can be used to enhance weapon grade.)
Compared to before, his Luck Value had increased by 120,000.
“Even entering the Black-yellow Great World, slaying Demon Beasts still grants Luck Value; in the future, I can continue to enhance my spirit weapon,” he thought.
With that thought, Lu Yun took out the Blood Slaughter Blade from his Cave Heavens.
After ascending to a Lower Grade spirit weapon, the Blood Slaughter Blade emitted an even more intense Evil Qi, giving off a heart-palpitating sensation.
With a thought, the Luck Value sharply decreased by 300,000, and then the Blood Slaughter Blade seemed to be infused with a profound spiritual light.
“Master, what did you feed me? It feels so comfortable!” a voice from the sword spirit came from within Lu Yun’s Sea of Consciousness.
The voice carried a hint of surprise and excitement.
“Stop talking nonsense and quickly refine it, see if you can ascend to a Mid-level spirit weapon.”
“Don’t worry, Master, Little Blood here will definitely ascend to a Mid-level spirit weapon this time,” the sword spirit’s voice was filled with strong confidence.
Half an hour later, the Blood Slaughter Blade completed its transformation, undeniably advancing to a Mid-level spirit weapon.
The Blade now had a pitch-black color, as if shadows within darkness had coalesced.
The Blade, filled with Rune-patterned designs, was suffused with a blood-red color, emanating a terrifying Evil Qi and giving off a cold, destructive glow.
The sharp edge of the Blade sparkled with a sliver gleam, as if it could effortlessly sever a person’s Soul, instilling a strong sense of bloodlust.
The hilt was decorated with strange Patterns and lines, seemingly engraved with countless Runes that carried an aura of death and destruction.
Lu Yun clenched the hilt and felt his power could easily be integrated into the Blood Slaughter Blade, sensing a strong edge to it.
Faintly feeling the terrifying might contained in the Blood Slaughter Blade, Lu Yun’s eyes showed satisfaction.
With a Mid-level spirit weapon like the Blood Slaughter Blade in hand, Lu Yun’s strength rose another level.
At that moment, Nangong Rui came over, glanced twice, and with a curious expression said, “Junior Brother Lu, that blade of yours is at least a Mid-level spirit weapon, isn’t it?”
“Yes, it is!”
Lu Yun seriously nodded and pointed to the Profound Death Silent Tower beside him, vigorously swallowing the Origin Force and Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi, saying, “That one is an Ultimate Spirit Weapon, but it has been heavily damaged before, and now it has only recovered to the level of an upper-grade spirit weapon.”
Nangong Rui swallowed hard and after a long moment, he said with a bitter smile, “Is this the difference between an Official Disciple and a Servant Disciple?”
Lu Yun shook his head, “The Blood Slaughter Blade and the Profound Death Silent Tower have nothing to do with Qinghuo Palace; I acquired them while I was in the Desolate Origin World.”
Nangong Rui was even more speechless.
Also from the Desolate Origin World, why hadn’t he come across even a Lower Grade spirit weapon?
Although spirit weapons are categorized as Lower Grade, Mid-level, upper-grade, and Ultimate Spirit Weapons,
In the Desolate Origin World, a spirit weapon could be used to suppress the luck of a Sect or family, and without overwhelming fortune, it was exceedingly difficult to acquire one.
Even in the Black-yellow Great World, spirit weapons were incredibly precious.
Now, the Outer Sect Disciples guarding the Cold Lake Origin Vein did not have many, which illustrates the value of a spirit weapon.
Yet, Lu Yun alone possessed two, and they were not the lowest grade Lower Grade spirit weapons.
One mid-level spirit weapon and one upper-grade spirit weapon, such a foundation was something most ordinary Official Disciples couldn’t compare to.
Nangong Rui’s expression was bitter.
It was truly disheartening to compare oneself to others. It was one thing to have monstrously high talent and terrifying strength, but to also have such an incredible stroke of luck, the heavens truly favored Lu Yun too much.
Of course, he was at most envious.
Not everyone was able to handle such incredible fortune; take himself as an example, if he really had a spirit weapon in hand, he would have to hide it very well and wouldn’t dare to use it unless he had enough strength, otherwise endless troubles would follow.
Lu Yun changed the subject, “Senior Brother Nangong, your injuries have now recovered, and you should be able to make your breakthrough to Heavenly Human, right?”
With gratitude, Nangong Rui said, “Thanks to the care from Junior Brother, after ridding me of those servant tasks, I can devote my full effort to developing my Cave Heavens.”
Lu Yun replied, “We are brothers, no need for such words. Once you’ve expanded your Cave Heavens and ascended to the Heavenly Human Realm, you can apply for the Outer Sect assessment. Then you’ll be relieved of the servant’s burden and can fully devote yourself to cultivation. In the future, it’s not impossible for you to become an Official Disciple.”
Nangong Rui hastily said, “Being an Official Disciple is too remote for me; I don’t think so much. Right now, I need to cultivate in the precious land you’ve provided. Here, both the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi and the Origin Force are dense, allowing me to push my Cave Heavens development to the extreme.”
“Of course, please feel free to proceed, Senior Brother,” Lu Yun responded.
Lu Yun manipulated the Array, causing the spiritual energy and Origin Force flowing into the Grand Array Hall to become even denser.
…
Years fade away in the practice of cultivation, and with arduous training free of distractions, time gradually slips by.
Ever since the anomaly at Cold Lake, the extreme cold air inside the lake slowly vanished, and even the environment of the surrounding Ghostly Plains Snow Mountain gradually began to change, becoming milder.
