CHAPTER 231: CHAPTER 230: HEADING TO CHAOS CITY (SECOND UPDATE, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE)

Lu Xuanji smiled, "The Ice Soul Sword is forged from superior Ice Soul Stone, with some materials added in the process, weighing precisely one thousand five hundred pounds, just right for you."

Ye Wanyi sensed the Ice Soul Sword and raised a doubt, "No, just Ice Soul Stone alone cannot forge such a Divine Soldier; there must be some special materials added!"

"It’s good that you know. But don’t ask, I won’t say it; there are special materials inside!"

Lu Xuanji laughed.

In the Ice Soul Sword, one pound of Dao Tribulation Immortal Gold was added, elevating the quality of this treasure sword far beyond other similar swords and granting it infinite potential for evolution.

But he wouldn’t reveal this, fearing it might scare Ye Wanyi.

Just ten grams of Immortal Gold is enough to prompt a Divinity Transformation Cultivator to kill and snatch treasures.

Within this sword, there is over a pound of Immortal Gold. If Ye Wanyi knew the value of this Ice Soul Sword, could she still sleep peacefully at night?

Ye Wanyi nodded, not asking further.

She indulged in the bliss for ten days until news arrived, and Lu Xuanji quietly left without disturbing anyone.

A sign hung at the Cave Mansion’s entrance, marking a retreat.

Hence, the cultivators of the Lu Family believed the Clan Leader was in seclusion, for as short as ten years, and as long as thirty or forty years.

...

In the wilderness, under the moonlight, stood a beauty wearing a hood, obscuring her true appearance, yet her graceful figure exuded enchanting allure.

"Are you the Golden Ancestor?"

Lu Xuanji asked.

"Indeed it is I!" The beauty removed her hood, immediately revealing a devastatingly beautiful face.

The moonlit beauty held an indescribable charm.

Lu Xuanji felt a fleeting stir but quickly reined in his thoughts and asked, "Ancestor, is everything arranged?"

"All is arranged," the Golden Ancestor replied, "Qing Lian is guarding Purple Sun Mountain, where everything is safe and sound! How is the Lu Family?"

"The Lu Family is well, I feel redundant!" Lu Xuanji smiled bitterly, "Without me, they still live quite well."

The Golden Ancestor laughed, "No, without you, they wouldn’t live well!"

"By the way, remember to wear this cloak to conceal your identity!"

"Is it useful?"

Lu Xuanji put on the cloak and asked.

"Useful, but not much!" the Golden Ancestor said, "It serves to hide one’s aura when not engaging; however, once facing a strong opponent and using high-level Divine Techniques, it will inevitably expose one’s true strength. Unless you refrain from using those Great Divine Techniques and killing moves!"

"In the Cultivation Immortality Realm, using an alias, disguising appearances, a cloak disguise—does it have a use? Yes, it does, but not a large one. You must weigh the pros and cons yourself! Have you thought of your alias?"

Lu Xuanji said, "My alias shall be Ye Fan!"

"Ye Fan, ordinary and plain, suits your low-key nature," the Golden Ancestor nodded, "My alias shall be... I can’t think of one, could you suggest one for me?"

Lu Xuanji contemplated, probing, "How about Ji Ziyue, or maybe Fang Qingxue?"

"Ji is a prominent surname in Central State, the ancient royal family; better not choose that," the Golden Ancestor said, "My alias shall be Fang Qingxue then!"

"The Ancestor sure knows how to pick a good name!"

Lu Xuanji said.

These two names, one is an empty vase, the other a prodigy; the Ancestor chooses the prodigy, showing her intuition is indeed sharp.

The Golden Ancestor said, "Don’t call me Ancestor. Outside, I’ll call you Little Fan, and you shall call me Qingxue!"

"Alright!"

Lu Xuanji nodded, "Hello, Qingxue!"

"Hello, Little Fan!"

Thinking of Ye Hei becoming Little Fan, Lu Xuanji couldn’t help but smile.

"Let’s go!"

The Golden Ancestor said, as she took out a Flying Ship, her figure flickered, bringing Lu Xuanji aboard.

This Flying Ship, appearing only two meters long and one meter high from the outside, contained an extremely vast interior, with a luxurious palace, all kinds of delicious food, fruits, and a secret chamber for cultivation.

Entering the secret chamber, Lu Xuanji began cultivating.

Ye Wanyi, the Grand Elder, and others had already surpassed him, and he couldn’t continue to be negligent; he must seize every moment for cultivation.

Neglect could potentially make him another Huang Rong.

...

The Flying Ship continued moving forward, and about three days later, the Golden Ancestor awoke him and cautioned him to be careful.

By this time, the Flying Ship had already left Chu Country, en route to Chaos City.

In Chu Country, various rules and orders existed; even Golden Core Ancestors had to adhere to them, but here, no rules existed—only slaughter, bloodshed, death, and chaos.

Even the Golden Ancestor wore a solemn expression, standing at the ship’s prow with a serious demeanor.

Lu Xuanji stood by the bow and asked, "Ancestor, are you afraid?"

"Yes, a little afraid!" the Golden Ancestor admitted, not disguising her fear, "Within a thirty-thousand-li range of Chaos City, there are death zones, and you can encounter various dangers and eerie assaults. Here, anything can happen. Once a Foundation Establishment Cultivator cast a curse and killed a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator; another Purple Mansion Cultivator used highly poisonous means to kill a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator; a Purple Mansion Assassin assassinated a Golden Core cultivator; another Golden Core cultivator used a Killing Array to kill a Nascent Soul!"

"Here, any accident, any possibility exists; do not be at ease for even a moment. Keep fear in your heart to live longer!"

"Understood!"

Lu Xuanji nodded.

"Remember, have your trump cards ready!" the Golden Ancestor said, "Don’t leave more than a zhang away from me; if you die, I won’t be responsible!"

Lu Xuanji nodded.

Boom boom boom!

At this moment, black clouds drifted in the sky, appearing as clouds from afar, but up close, they were a swarm of insects.

The insects, densely packed, turned into a terrifying sea of bugs, sweeping towards the Flying Ship in an unending wave.

The Golden Ancestor urged the Flying Ship, which instantly transformed into a mass of flames, burning everything.

The black cloud emitted a sizzling sound.

Countless insects were scorched, crackling and falling to the ground in succession.

Yet some insects changed their bodies, flickering with endless golden light, crawling on the Flying Ship and starting to devour it, rendering it pockmarked in just a few breaths.

"Interesting, we’ve been targeted by an Insect Cultivator!"

The Golden Ancestor laughed, "Little Fan, take a good look; these are Gold-devouring Insects! Gold-devouring Insects specifically eat metal ore, devour Magical Treasures, not fearing Magical Treasure attacks, not fearing Magic attacks, only fearing ice element attacks. To a certain extent, Ice Spirit Root cultivators naturally restrain Gold-devouring Insects!"

"A regular Golden Core cultivator encountering Gold-devouring Insects would only choose to flee, as though Gold-devourers are formidable, they are quite slow. Golden Core cultivators running away wouldn’t be caught. However, if they fight to the death without retreating, even a Golden Core would fall."

"It’s a pity, I am not an Ice Spirit Root, nor are you an Ice Spirit Root... your Dao Companion Ye Wanyi happens to be an Ice Spirit Root, but unfortunately, she is not here!"
