Chapter 2634: Approaching Completion
A good magic weapon that could be attuned to one's spirit was especially important for cultivators.The magic of Youlan, entwined with the Niegu sword, was like pulling silk thread, gradually drawing..."Four or five, I guess." Lu Xia Tian said casually.

Suddenly, even Yun Cangyue and the others present couldn't help but gasp in shock. They had personally experienced the might of late-stage monster cultivators, making it hard to fathom how Lu Xia Tian had directly confronted so many such powerful beings before his advancement. For a mid-stage cultivator, this was simply beyond human capability.
Even if Lu Xia Tian was inevitably working with others, right now with so many of them teaming up to fight him, they wouldn't be any better off. If Lu Xia Tian were the enemy, there wouldn't be more than half of them alive right now.
Lu Xiaoteng not only dealt with a large number of late-stage monsters, but he also lived peacefully to the present day. Such strength is simply unbelievable.
Like Ban Qianzhi and Zhu Qi, many others had also witnessed Lu Xiaoteng's astonishing swordsmanship. Though they harbored some suspicion in their hearts, they didn't immediately associate the swordsman with Lu Xiaoteng himself. After all, Lu Xiaoteng had clearly been elsewhere previously.
In the following time, Lu Xia Tian, besides secretly paying attention to the possibility of Luo Ping'er appearing, or other important news, did not wander around. He just stayed in Chiyue Desert to practice quietly. From time to time, he personally went down to fight with Ba Li, Yun Cang Yue, and Yun Xiao Qi. With previous experiences, and Lu Xia Tian himself admitting that his breakthrough also benefited from multiple confrontations with late-stage merger powerhouses.
As long as they had time, all the powerful martial artists would spar with Lu Xia Tian. With their strength, sparring naturally meant fighting together. But each time, they were defeated under Lu Xia Tian's pressure.
Under such immense pressure, Bai Li, Zhu Qi, Yun Xiaoqi and the rest all made tremendous progress.
However, the most significant progress has been made in the Yèshi clan's group combat tactics. After various trials involving different combined powerhouses and the Yèshi clan, especially Lu Xiaoteng's return, it has had an irreplaceable impact on the morale of the Yèshi clan.
The Page Stone Clan's battle tactics began to align with those of mid-stage fusion experts. This caused millions of Page Stone warriors to advance at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary fusion realm powerhouses.

Apart from that, there was one thing that surprised Lu Xia Tian. Originally, Du Fenghuo had already reached the bottleneck of a breakthrough, and Lu Xia Tian had always thought that Du Fenghuo would be the first to advance to the early stage of Hè Tǐ. In fact, this was not the case. The first to advance was Di Yao. Di Yao's breakthrough means that another powerhouse in the Hè Tǐ realm has emerged in the Chi Yue Desert.
The rapid improvement of Chiyue Desert's strength left Yun Cangyue with mixed feelings. Zhu Xiashan was now a fading force, with only her and her daughter holding on. In contrast, many years ago when Lu Xiaoteng brought Pig Seven and the Ye Shi clan to settle in Chiyue Desert, the desert was at most an average power within the chaotic demon domain.

Over these years, it hasn't been a particularly long time, but for establishing the influence of a force, it's definitely not short. In the blink of an eye, Chiyue Desert has risen rapidly. Setting aside Lu Xiaottian's personal strength, just the number of gathered Nascent Soul realm experts is already quite impressive.
As a fourth-rank pill king with an extremely high success rate, the speed at which he cultivated a sizable force was simply too fast. Although this was entirely based on Lu Xia Tian's personal strength and charisma, it is indeed remarkable that such a feat could be achieved in such a short period of time.

Although Yun Cang Yue felt a pang of envy, her heart found some solace afterwards. The entire chaotic demon domain, or even the whole cultivation world, saw power shifts happen too quickly. Compared to other clans like Yulu and others, Zhu Xia Shan’s situation was definitely still good. At least they had him, Yun Xiaoqi, and Lu Xiaotian as a powerful supporter. After all, for the sake of Zhu Xia Shan, Lu Xiaotian had even directly confronted those formidable enemies.
From a friend's perspective, Lu Xiaotian is definitely the kind you can rely on. Moreover, Zhu Xia shan wants to find Lu Xiaotian to refine pills, and there are conveniences that ordinary people don't have. Besides Lu Xiaotian, Yun Xiaoqi, and even himself, he is extremely familiar with Hongyue, a third-rank pill king.
With the resources accumulated over the years by Zhuxia Mountain, rising to power would be significantly easier compared to other forces. As for the Tujzhu Buddha Sect, they would always consider past connections and relationships.
Lu Xia Tian decided to give the Bi-horned Demon Wolf some space, and he really did. He stayed in the Chiyue Desert for several years without any contact with the wolf. The Bi-horned Demon Wolf was surprisingly patient at first, both sides seemed to be testing each other's endurance, waiting for the other to crack.
Lu Xiaoteng stayed in the Chiyue Desert for six years. During those six years, there were continuous contacts from other forces, all of which Lu Xiaoteng rejected on the pretext of cultivation. Occasionally, the combined realm powerhouses in the Chiyue Desert would also take the Yèshí clan or the Wild Boar Demon tribe out to fight against the demon army, fulfilling their duty as a force in the chaotic demonic domain.
Besides, Lu Xiaoteng never attended gatherings like the one of late stage monsters from the Chaotic Demon Realm. Even when Darkmoon Demon Bat Kou Jing visited again, Lu Xiaoteng directly refused to see him. To this, Darkmoon Demon Bat was both annoyed and regretted his previous actions. He hadn't expected that after their relationship deteriorated, it would be so difficult to visit him again, not giving anyone room for negotiation.
To be honest, only Nan Chen Du and Dong Yi Xiong Huang have visited twice. Xiong Kun, who secretly controls the Dark Demon Mausoleum, has also paid a visit. Apart from them, no one else has received such treatment.
Over six years, Lu Xiaoxiao's fire in his body refinement had been made up for quite a bit. After all, it wasn't that long ago since he broke through to the middle stage of Body Refinement and Nascent Soul. These years, Lu Xiaoxiao has been practicing diligently without ever slacking off.

Besides, he has already refined four of the eight-pointed star sources needed for the Eight Trigrams Star Source Shocking Mountain Formation. The speed at which the red moon desert gathers starlight is still a bit slower compared to some places where the stars shine brightly.
The remaining four Astral Stars will take several more years to gather. However, Lu Xia Tian intends to put that aside for now. Since he already has the Cold Source Ten Thousand Tides Pearl, the time is ripe, and he shouldn't wait any longer.
Lu Xia Tian had also been trying to find out about Luo Ping'er's news, but he hadn't received any valuable information. It seemed like everything had ended in the Valley of Fallen Demons.
Shaking his head, with a hint of regret, Lu Xia Tian’s true self quietly left. As for the lotus avatar, it remained in the Crimson Moon Desert to hold down the fort.
This time, Lu Xia Tian brought both Xiao Huo Ya and the spirit-seeking white dog. Worried that their size would attract attention, Lu Xia Tian didn't even bring Ban Qian Zhi. After all, he wasn't without enemies in the chaotic demon domain.
It's possible that someone knows his whereabouts and might take the opportunity to cause trouble, wanting to ruin his plans. In any case, it's best to be cautious. This time, Lu Xiaoteng is going to the Mosang Demon Sea area in the Endless Demon Sea, which is very close to the Susang Demon Sea.air." Xiang Hua secretly transmitted his voice to Lu Xia Tian."You two little rascals, you have little ability but big tempers. You do whatever you want, even if you enter the Prince's Mansion, with t...
