Chapter 850: Siqing Cliff
!Under the duress of several Nether Demons, Zhao Zhen led them to an ice cave. This place was just as bitterly cold and unbearable as before, but there was a jade pool within it where frost-cold jade...The endless blue peaks pierce the sky. Those familiar mountain ranges appear before my eyes once again. Returning to the territory under the jurisdiction of Lingxiao Palace, the mountains remain the same, but they are no longer bustling with spiritual birds soaring through the air, ferocious beasts roaring, and cultivators traveling between their cultivation grounds, marketplaces, and service halls as they used to be.
Between the various peaks, there used to be a large amount of cultivated spirit herbs and spirit trees. In these past two hundred years of turmoil in the cultivation world, due to consumption, most of the valuable ones have already been harvested. As for the outskirts of Lingxiao Palace, it seems that they were also damaged to some extent, with the remnants of several Jindan cultivators' auras left behind.
There are also quite a few violent thunder spells here, it seems that there was a battle between foundation-building cultivators not long ago. The war even reached the Lingxiao Palace.
Only the white mist that drifted between the mountain peaks remained as it had always been.
“Halt! State your business, who dares trespass upon Lingxiao Palace!”

Although most of Lingxiao Palace's forces went to Tianjian Mountain to fight the main force of opposing cultivators, only a small number of cultivators remained stationed in these dozens of peaks. However, the patrolling cultivators still quickly discovered this group of cultivators led by Lu Xiaoteng who did not hide their whereabouts.
The two of them were clad in spirit armor, brandished their weapons, and looked at Lu Xia Tian and his group with wary expressions.
"Qinglian Peak's Lu Xiaotian, returning to Lingxiao Palace, now who presides over Lingxiao Palace!" Lu Xiaotian used some of his magic power, his voice like a booming gong, reverberating toward the dozens of peaks of Lingxiao Palace.
Yuan Min was startled. Before, she only thought Lu Xiaoteng was a body cultivator. Now, as Lu Xiaoteng deliberately circulated his mana, Yuan Min was shocked to discover that his mana was incredibly powerful and beyond imagination. His voice boomed like a gong, vast yet harmless, enveloping the Lingxiao Palace in the sky without dissipating. Although he wasn't facing an enemy, this level of control made Yuan Min realize she was far inferior.
whoosh whoosh whoosh.....
Over a hundred figures each rode their swords into the sky. Among them, a seemingly familiar middle-aged man and a green-clad middle-aged woman, upon seeing Lu Xiaoteng, were especially excited.
As others saw Lu Xia Tian at this moment, they were also filled with excitement. Perhaps due to the passage of time, other sects couldn't remember Lu Xia Tian for a while, but for Ling Xiao Palace, even those Jindan cultivators' reputation was far less weighty than the Lu Xia Tian before them. In Ling Xiao Palace, the silver-haired cultivator in front of them had long since become a legend, circulating within Ling Xiao Palace to this day.

Especially in recent years, Lingxiao Palace has suffered heavy losses in the midst of the cultivation world's turmoil. With the dwindling number of high-ranking cultivators, Lingxiao Palace needs a spiritual pillar to keep the lower-ranking cultivators going. Lu Xia Tian is just such a source of comfort for those who grew up in Lingxiao Palace.
In the world of cultivating immortality under the moonlit sky, there are countless sects and immortal families. Who could single-handedly ride a flying mount and slaughter the Blood River Clan, leaving their infamy etched in history And who could subdue numerous cultivators of the same level with their own power, making them too afraid to even engage in battle!
“Master Lu, Master Uncle Lu, you became a Jindan cultivator” The two people who rushed out were Luo Kang and his cousin He Liping, who had successfully built their foundation on Qingyue Peak with Lu Xiaoteng back then. A Qi Refining cultivator only has a lifespan of about three hundred years.
Lu Xiaoteng had been gone for nearly one hundred and fifty years. The two ordinary Qi Refining disciples from back then, under Lu Xiaoteng's influence, had both successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage and survived the war until now, both reaching the late Foundation Establishment stage. The two had also bid farewell to their youthful appearance, with obvious traces of age on their faces.
“I've met Lu Shishu!”
More than a hundred foundation-building cultivators bowed their heads in mid-air. Over a hundred years ago, the legendary story that had been passed down through Lingxiao Palace reappeared before their eyes. However, after that, this person disappeared without a trace, and there was no news of him at all. They originally thought that Lu Xia Tian had fallen, but they never expected that until today, he would return to the mountain gate. Moreover, upon his return, he was already a respected Golden Core cultivator.
Apart from these foundation-building cultivators, tens of thousands of Qi refining cultivators who were still unable to fly with their magical artifacts also looked down from the mountain. The spiritual energy within Lingxiao Palace was waning, and Lu Xia Tian, who had once been a renowned figure admired by all, had returned again.
"No need for formalities. Who is in charge of Lingxiao Palace now" Lu Xia Tian asked.
"Master Hui Lu, the Palace Master has already led the main force of the Fairy Palace to Tianjian Mountain to engage in a decisive battle with the enemy's main force. Currently, Elder Luo is in charge of affairs within Lingxiao Palace. Elder Luo had fought alongside you, Master Hui Lu, back then, so I believe you two are not strangers." Luo Kang said hurriedly.
"But Luo Qian" Lu Xia Tian was startled. Of the cultivators surnamed Luo he knew, the only one who had fought alongside him was Luo Qian. It seemed he had already achieved the Golden Core stage. However, after being stimulated by Lu Xia Tian, Luo Qian's temperament had become much calmer. With Luo Qian's talent, and having solved the problem of condensing the Golden Core, and with Master Lei Wantian as his teacher, condensing the Golden Core was not a difficult matter.
Lu Xiaotian had been hunted by Zhou Tong in his early years and entered the Blue Devil Sea Region. After decades of honing his skills in the Great Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment, Luo Qian's cultivation level in his early years was slightly lower than his own, but after decades of time, he was more than enough to catch up. Lu Xiaotian had formed his golden core at the peak of Foundation Establishment, while Luo Qian and others began forming their golden cores in the later stages of Foundation Establishment. Naturally, they should not have fallen behind him by much.
"It's indeed Uncle Luo," Luo Kang nodded, he naturally wouldn't dare to call Luo Qian by his name like Lu Xia Tian.
"Since that is the case, why doesn't Lu Qian come forward"
Lu Xia tian was a little puzzled. These Qi Foundation cultivators had all arrived, and with Luo Qian's cultivation, he shouldn't be so slow. No, that thunder-elemental mana just now was indeed Luo Qian's. It seemed Luo Qian was most likely injured. Lu Xia tian quickly reacted.
"Luo, Luo Shishu's state isn't good. He was injured in his early years, and now the entire Lingxiao Palace has dispatched all its elite disciples. In the entire palace, only Luo Shishu, a Golden Core cultivator, remains." Luo Kang said with a somber expression.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Where is Luo Qian" Lu Xia Tian asked.
"At the Siqing Cliff in Lingtian Peak Territory, besides the invasion by Golden Core cultivators from other realms who are harassing the mountain gate, Uncle Luo has been staying at Siqing Cliff without leaving. "Luo Kang sighed and said, "Our junior disciples have little influence, and Uncle Lu and Uncle Luo have old acquaintanceship, so they also tried to persuade Uncle Luo."
"Siqing Cliff!" Lu Xia Tian's body trembled, a hint of sadness in his eyes. Though he hadn't arrived yet, just hearing the name told him what had happened during these years he'd been away. Only someone like that unruly and arrogant Su Qing could cause Luo Qian to be like this.
"These people are my friends, please receive them. I'll go see Junior Luo." Lu Xia Tian sighed with melancholy, his figure like lightning, everyone just felt a flash in front of their eyes and Lu Xia Tian had vanished.
The path of ruthless cultivation is not without love, though it may not always be between a man and a woman. Yu Min could clearly see the sadness in Lu Xiaotian's eyes and wounds on his face.
The sky-reaching peaks of Piatian domain were covered in falling leaves, a cold mountain wind whipping up a chill. On the thousand-zhang cliff face, lay several dried bloodstains with the words "Siqing Cliff" carved into them.
"But, Senior Brother Lu, please forgive your junior brother for not welcoming you far and wide. Allow me to come down and have a chat." A voice, old and hoarse, rose from beneath the cliff. had suddenly appeared there. How could Lu Xiaotian easily go to find the exact location of the nodeLu Xiaitian's expression flickered, but he couldn't make up his mind. Several figures flashed in th...
