Chapter 279: Chapter 279: The Empress enters the island at the center of the lake
The battle between Lu fan and the giant whale ended very quickly.
At the very least, for the people of Dongyang County, a great calamity had passed.
The Overlord took a deep breath. Lu fan had become much stronger than before. Even though young master Lu had been extremely mysterious from the start, and his strength could not be seen through.
However, the Overlord was very clear that young master Lu’s strength was steadily increasing. The people in the world were improving, and young master Lu was also improving.
Only he, Overlord, was still standing on the same spot.
This time, Lu fan brought him to watch the Battle of grand cultivation, which also served as a warning to overlord.
He wanted overlord to understand that he couldn’t continue like this.
The road of cultivation was long. He, Overlord, had just stepped onto the stone stairs of cultivation. How could he be bound and bare feet?
He had to break through himself.
He couldn’t escape anymore. He had to face the knot in his heart.
In the distance.
A lone boat shot over. The Empress stood at the front of the lone boat.
Her black hair fluttered in the wind, and her red robe fluttered in the wind.
The battle between Lu fan and the giant whale had caused quite a commotion. After all, it was a battle between the infant transformation realm cultivators. How could the empress not sense it?
Thinking back to the Phantom image of the giant whale that she had seen before, the empress understood that it must be the giant whale that was causing trouble.
The Empress was in charge of the Great Qian Nation, and the demon region wasn’t too far from the vast sea. Therefore, the Empress had interacted with this giant whale before.
This was a deep-sea behemoth that had lived for countless years. Legend had it that this behemoth had been enlightened by the experts of the high martial world by chance and possessed a long life and lifespan.
There were records that said that this giant whale had lived for 100,000 years.
100,000 years..
The Empress did not dare to imagine what kind of creature could live for 100,000 years!
Therefore, when this giant whale invaded the five Phoenix continent, the empress was a little anxious.
Boom!
The Empress leaped up from the lone boat. Her Red Robe fluttered in the wind as she walked through the air.
However, she soon saw the outcome of the battle in the distance.
She saw that the irritable giant whale was obediently floating on the surface of the sea. On the back of the giant whale, young master Lu, who was dressed in elegant white clothes, was sitting on a wheelchair and slowly walking on it.
The empress heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed that young master Lu had solved the problem of the whale.
Lu Pan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the Empress who was walking through the air. The Empress was carrying a bag on her back. She was dressed rather plainly and wore light makeup. However, she looked somewhat elegant.
However, her appearance was still moving and beautiful.
“Young master Lu.”
When the Empress Saw Lu Pan, she revealed a sweet smile.
Rumble!
Below, the giant whale rumbled and its body swayed, emitting a terrifying rumbling sound.
The giant whale sensed the aura of an old acquaintance, the empress of the Great Qian Nation.
Lu fan nodded slightly. He wasn’t too surprised that the Empress had left the Tian Yuan region.
Moreover, Lu fan didn’t choose to restrict their travel in the beginning. The Tian Yuan region and the five Phoenix continent would come into contact sooner or later.
“Oh my, didn’t this giant whale of yours always stay out of the humans’way? Why didn’t you hold it in this time?”
The empress’s slender legs lightly stomped on the back of the giant whale.
The back of the giant whale instantly spewed out water waves. A water pillar shot up into the sky and splashed in the air, as if it had turned into rain water that continuously sprinkled down.
The eyes of the Little Yinglong, who was lying on Lu fan’s shoulder, immediately lit up.
It was as if he had found a confidant.
The water was so watery that it was comparable to his little yinglong.
“Young Master Lu, how did you subdue this giant whale?”
“This giant whale is not weak. Du Longyang once challenged it and was almost beaten until he cried.”
The Empress raised her hand gently and blocked all the rain.
Lu fan was sitting in a wheelchair with one hand supporting his chin and the other on the armguard of the wheelchair.
After taking a look at the empress, he smiled and said, “It’s very simple. Steam it, grill it, and stew it. Just let it choose one.”
The Empress was speechless.
In the next moment, she couldn’t help but laugh.
Young Master Lu’s humor was really cold.
“Du Longyang, Tian Xu, and Ye Shoudao should have left Tian Yuan and rushed to this world.”
The Empress said.
However, Lu fan’s nonchalant attitude made the Empress purse her lips.
She looked at her surroundings in surprise.
“Is this young master Lu’s world? It’s different from what I imagined.”
The Empress said.
“Oh? How is it different?”
Lu fan was a little curious.
The empress glanced at the Little Yinglong that was lying on Lu Fan’s shoulder, then at the red dragon that was burning with flames. She sensed the intensity of the spiritual energy in the world, she shook her head and said, “I thought that it would at least be a top-tier middle-tier martial world that is not weaker than Tian Yuan if we could nurture such a monstrous existence like young master Lu. But now… It seems that there is a slight deviation from my expectations.”
“The concentration of the spiritual energy is not strong, and there are no experts that can attract our attention.”
The Empress said.
Lu fan did not say anything.
This was because what the Empress said was the truth.
Compared to Tian Yuan, the current five phoenixes were indeed weaker.
“Let’s go ashore.”
Lu fan said.
After that, the Empress and Lu fan left the back of the giant whale and went ashore.
The giant whale lay in the sea. It was quiet and dull.
After all, it was an old monster that had lived for 100,000 years. It was stable.
Although it had submitted to Lu fan, he wasn’t in a hurry at all. He only submitted temporarily. After he tortured this human to death, it would become the overlord of the sea again.
The lifespan of a human was on a completely different level compared to the lifespan of his giant whale.
On the beach, Lu fan glanced at the giant whale.
He punched out an eight trigram rune “Gen”.
The rune flew out and instantly filled the body of the giant whale.
“Go. If you need anything, I’ll call you.”
Lu fan said indifferently.
The giant whale’s giant eyeballs rolled and looked at Lu fan.
The expression in its eyes was a little complicated.
The giant whale actually felt a little regretful. Sending warmth from thousands of miles away might be referring to him.
It originally thought that this was a world without threats, but it did not expect that a monster like Lu fan would appear.
He came menacingly, but in the end, he was tamed and turned into a pet..
The giant whale swung its tail fiercely, and its huge tail smashed onto the surface of the sea, creating a monstrous wave.
The giant whale let out a long cry, and then dove into the deep sea, startling countless sea creatures.
The surface of the sea returned to its calm state, and the huge waves retreated.
The gentle sea breeze blew over, making people feel somewhat comfortable.
“Let’s go.”
Lu fan rubbed the head of the little ying long lying on his shoulder and said.
After that, the thousand blade chair turned on its own and sailed inland.
The red dragon let out a dragon’s cry and charged into the clouds, flying towards the Dragon Gate.
In the distance, the Overlord and the people of Dongyang county gathered.
“Greetings, Young Master Lu!”
The governor of Dongyang county was very excited.
Lu Fan was one of the best cultivators in the world, the Master of White Jade Capital! Cultivators with great abilities didn’t see that the terrifying giant whale was subdued by young master Lu?
The Overlord also looked at Lu fan with a complicated expression.
At this moment, the Overlord’s eyes focused. He saw the empress.
At first glance, he was stunned by the Empress’s beauty.
Her graceful and noble temperament added a bit of attraction to the Empress.
At second glance, the Overlord was shocked by the Empress’s strength. That unfathomable aura was like the pressure of the vast sea, causing the overlord’s pores to tighten.
This woman… was terrifyingly powerful!
Lu fan did not interact much with the people from Dongyang county. He only nodded and said a few words before leaving with Little Yinglong and the Overlord.
They arrived at the Red Dragon Gate.
The Empress was looking at them curiously.
“Empress, you came at the right time. I have something to discuss with you.”
Lu fan said.
“Young master Lu, Don’t call me that. My name is Ni Chunqiu. You can call me Chunqiu.”
The empress smiled sweetly.
Lu fan hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly. “Okay.”
When the Empress received Lu Fan’s response, her eyes lit up and her smile was as beautiful as a flower.
The Overlord didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
He didn’t dare to say anything and didn’t dare to ask anything.
After entering the Dragon Gate, the Empress looked at the Dragon Gate in surprise.
Even the empress was extremely surprised by this method of shrinking the ground into an inch.
“It’s a little similar to a teleportation array.”
The Empress said.
“It’s rumored that the high martial world has a teleportation array. Even if it’s 108,000 kilometers away, one can reach it in an instant using a teleportation array.”
“This dragon gate is similar to a teleportation array.”
Lu fan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
A teleportation array in the High Martial World?
However, a teleportation array was suitable for a large area. The high martial world had a vast terrain. If one were to calculate the distance between a million miles and 10,000 miles, a teleportation array could travel hundreds of thousands of miles.
As for the current five Phoenix continent, it wasn’t considered very big. The Dragon Gate was enough.
After passing through the Dragon Gate, they returned to the Lake Heart Island.
As soon as they exited the Dragon Gate and arrived at the Lake Heart Island, the Empress felt a majestic spiritual energy gushing toward her.
The density of this spiritual energy was even stronger than that of the Tian Yuan continent.
The Empress stepped on the rippling lake surface of the northern Luo Lake and felt an inexplicable sense of comfort. Her spiritual sense surged out and she sensed many cultivators.
However, most of them were in the Qi condensation realm, some were in the foundation establishment realm, and there were also some in the Jindan realm, but not many.
Overall, their strength was not too strong.
The Empress was now certain that the world that Lu fan was in was much weaker than the Tian Yuan realm.
On the island in the center of the lake.
NIE changqing, who was training nie shuang, suddenly opened his eyes.
There was a sharp look in his eyes.
He took a step forward and instantly appeared on the surface of the lake.
“Young Master.”
Nie changqing carried the dragon slayer on his waist and looked at Lu fan, slightly bowing.
Then, he saw the empress in a red robe.
NIE changqing naturally recognized the empress. She was the ruler of the Great Qian Nation on the Tian Yuan continent and a terrifying existence at the infant transformation realm. How could he not recognize her.
But..
Why would the Empress appear here?
This was the Lake Heart Island..
Could the empress leave the Forbidden Zone?
Nie Changqing’s heart was in a mess.
When the Empress saw Nie Changqing, she smiled. The empress was no stranger to Nie Changqing. She had seen nie changqing’s battle in Martial Emperor City before.
His talent was not bad, and he had the appearance of a person on the list.
It seemed that this person was young master Lu’s disciple. No wonder he had such a cultivation appearance.
The Empress’s spiritual sense of the infant transformation realm swept across the island, but it did not attract much attention.
They arrived on the island.
The Morning Chrysanthemum swayed, and the green peach blossoms were beautiful.
What the Empress was looking at was carefree and relaxed. It was truly a place like a god.
No wonder the spiritual energy on this island was much denser and more comfortable than other places. It turned out that there was such a spiritual plant.
It seemed that the Empress knew that Lu fan had some matters to take care of.
The Empress spoke to Lu fan and started strolling around the island in the center of the lake.
Lu fan didn’t mind and let her go.
Ni Yu finished refining the pills. When she saw Lu fan return, she hurriedly handed him a bag of body tempering pills that had just come out of the pot as if she was presenting a treasure.
The first time a body tempering pill was formed, there would be a lightning penalty. After that, there was no lightning penalty. This saved Ni Yu a lot of trouble.
After Lu fan received it, he nodded slightly. Compared to the previous body tempering pills, the quality was much better. It seemed that Ni Yu’s alchemy level had improved.
Taking out a body tempering pill, Lu fan looked at the Overlord.
“The current you, even if you take the body tempering pill, the effect is not great. When you break the knot in your heart, the effect of the body tempering pill will be obvious.”
Lu fan said.
The overlord nodded slightly.
He naturally understood this point.
Lu fan raised his hand and beckoned to Lu Dongxuan who was in the distance.
Lu Dongxuan hurriedly grabbed the big golden chain and rushed over.
“Young master…”
Lu Dongxuan’s eyes were filled with anticipation. Every time young master looked for him, he would definitely have a big move.
“Send a message to the world. Three days later, White Jade capital will hold an auction. Other than spirit pills and spirit tools, there will be other treasures.”
Lu fan said.
The moment he said that.
It wasn’t just Lu Dongxuan who was stunned.
Nie changqing and the Overlord were also stunned.
Auction?
Why would the young master hold an auction for no reason?
Could it be that the young master was short of money?
However, money was nothing to white jade capital.
If young master Lu wanted money, he would raise his arm and call out. How many people were in a hurry to send money.
However, Lu fan did not explain to them. Overlord and the others could not guess Lu Fan’s thoughts.
Lu Fan’s wheelchair automatically turned and faced the library.
Looking at the leisurely library on the lake, Lu fan said calmly, “The one month deadline has arrived. The library is closed. Those who are not involved, retreat.”
Lu Fan’s words were not loud, but they clearly reached everyone’s ears.
When Sima Qingshan heard this, he cupped his hands towards Lu fan with an miaoyu and left.
Bai Qingniao was extremely excited as he pulled Jiang Li and Chi Lian away.
In the library, everyone who was reading was shocked.
Many people opened their eyes, their emotions extremely complicated.
Although they could not bear to part with the secret manual in their hands, they still returned the book to its original position.
Some scholars were still silently reciting the contents, wanting to memorize more.
Lu fan waved his hand, and the door of the library immediately closed with a bang.
One lone boat after another rippled out. Many people looked at the library, feeling lost.
One month was too short. Many people had only studied less than three books.
There were more than ten thousand books in the library, and there was no time to finish reading them all.
“The road of cultivation is long. You Can’t Chew Too Much. Focusing on one path is the right path.”
After Lu fan said that, he waved his hand.
Waves of air surged from the lone boats and bounced out of the North Luo Lake.
The North Luo Lake suddenly became quiet. The library was completely closed, so there was less noise.
Lu Dongxuan came back to his senses and did not say anything. He left to prepare for the auction.
Lu Dongxuan’s mind was clear. He felt that Lu fan’s purpose for setting up this auction was definitely not ordinary.
The Overlord’s eyes flickered. He bowed to Lu fan and left.
He took a look at the body tempering pill.
Perhaps there would be an auction for the body tempering pill three days later?
The Overlord took a deep breath. If there really was a body tempering pill, then the overlord felt that he needed to fight for it.
However, before he fought for the body tempering pill, the Overlord felt that he had to make a breakthrough.
At the very least, he had to break the knot in his heart.
Lu fan let ni Yu continue to refine the pill while he returned to the second floor of the pavilion.
The Empress walked behind Ni Yu curiously. Seeing that the Alchemist was refining the pill with a black wok, it was an eye-opener for her.
Vaguely, she felt that this black wok seemed to be an unusual magic tool.
She was naturally clear about refining pills. After all, in the Tian Yuan continent, the status of an alchemist was not low.
The Empress was also an alchemist. Using a wok to refine pills made her feel extremely curious.
While ni Yu was refining pills, the empress opened her mouth and gave a few pointers, which made Ni Yu feel enlightened.
After that, Ni Yu faced the empress who was giving her pointers. She generously took out a sugar-coated energy gathering pill and handed it to the Empress.
The Empress took it and stuffed it into her mouth. The sweetness of the sugar-coated pill made the Empress’s eyes light up.
A Woman’s friendship came simply.
Without disturbing ni Yu’s face, the Empress continued to stroll around on the island in the center of the lake. For some reason, although the cultivators on the island were not very strong, they gave her a strange feeling. This comfortable cultivation atmosphere.., made the empress feel like she couldn’t leave.
The Empress raised her head and looked at the towering trial tower. She had actually noticed this trial tower the moment she stepped out of the Dragon Gate.
The trial tower was a magic artifact, but the aura it emitted was even stronger than a first-grade magic artifact!
Suddenly.
The Empress felt something.
In the distance.
A gentle breeze blew.
A figure walked down from the pavilion.
The Empress turned her head around as she saw Ning Zhao.
Ning Zhao’s white dress fluttered in the wind as she looked at the empress calmly. Their gazes met, and there was an unusual radiance surging.
