ultivators, I am unwell and unable to rise. Please excuse my lack of proper etiquette." 。Lu Xia Tian half-lay in the chair, his face showing a few points of helplessness. 。"It's nothing, Daoist Lu was...Bing Yu's phoenix and Lotus's clone clashed, but the Lotus clone only sent a message back instead of successfully returning to the chaotic Demon Domain. This made Lu Xia Tian feel that something was amiss.

Having been confined to the Zhuzhu Buddha Sect for so many years, Lu Xia Tian was well aware of the chaotic situation in the Demon Domain. If it weren't for the Lotus Avatar sitting in command, even Xiang Kuang and Yun Cang Yue would have already advanced to the late stage of Nascent Soul.

The strength of others has also improved considerably, but this situation cannot be controlled by cultivators who have reached the Nascent Soul Stage. It's like when Lord Peng Niu came this time. If it hadn't been for Xiang Qingcheng's timely appearance, who knows what kind of disastrous consequences would have occurred

When stillness gives rise to movement, having been confined here for so many years, my cultivation has reached a great level. Although my soul is still at the eleventh stage of merging souls, the practice of both body and spirit allows me to be feared by even Lu Xiaoteng. Even the Tiju Buddha Sect wouldn't take much notice except for the Five Absolute Monks -伏虎陣, and that enigmatic Master Kongjian who is on the verge of crossing the tribulation and ascending.

“With a clear mind and insight gained from observing predecessors!” As Lu Xia Tian was lost in thought, Xiang Hua once again passed through the restrictions and arrived at the place of confinement.

"Did the Buddhist sect give you a golden Buddha-leaf" Lu Xia Tian asked.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“Master Uncle has already bestowed the Buddhist sect's holy relic.” Xiang Hua nodded.

“Very well.” Lu Xia Tian nodded. Over the years, Xiang Hua would come every few periods of time, sometimes for thousands of days, sometimes for a few months. The length of time he spent in confinement was also variable. Ever since arriving in this world, he had never been able to properly teach this disciple. By some twist of fate, being confined in the Tuzhu Buddha Sect's custody, things had turned around.

“Go and deliver a message. I’ve run out of spirit crystals needed for my cultivation and need to replenish them.” After imparting the next segment of incantation techniques, Lu Xia Tian said.

"Yes, senior," Xiang Hua nodded. This wasn't a big deal. Over the years, besides the fixed amount of spiritual materials and crystals provided by the Zhuzhu Buddha Sect regularly, people from the Chi Yue Desolate would also send large quantities of spiritual items every so often. The consumption required for Lu Xia Tian's cultivation had reached a staggering level. Occasionally, when the spiritual materials on Lu Xia Tian's side were almost depleted, he would urge them to send more from the Chi Yue Desolate.

This time, Lu Xiaotien's request naturally didn't seem out of place.

When Xiang Hua left, Lu Xia Tian's lips curled into a subtle smile. As his disciple, he couldn't use some methods on Xiang Hua directly. It was enough to just have him deliver a message. Even if it caused some trouble, it wouldn't implicate Xiang Hua. Ming Yuan, the chess piece he had nurtured for centuries, was time to move.

...while he himself had been trapped here for seven or eight hundred years, his soul hadn't reached the level of twelve merged souls. Maybe the primordial spirit of a great Mahayana demon could bring about a breakthrough.

"Greetings, senior." Several days later, Ming Yuan appeared before Lu Xia Tian as scheduled. With Ming Yuan's aptitude, he should have reached the early stage of the He-Body realm long ago, but after so many years, even with the spiritual pills Lu Xia Tian provided him, he was still stuck at this level.

Although it's only one step away from the mid-term, Mingyuan is still quite satisfied. Looking at the time spent in cultivation, it's not short, but compared to the long lifespan of the Nascent Soul realm, this amount of time is completely bearable.

“Let me see, how well have you cultivated the Profound Art given to you by the master” Before Lu Xia Tian’s words could finish, a powerful divine sense swept toward Ming Yuan’s body.

Ming Yuan's body stiffened, but he dared not resist Lu Xiaofeng's divine consciousness. Here, let alone him, even his two uncles, Kong Er and Kong Ming, might not be able to withstand Lu Xiaofeng. Although Ming Yuan didn't know what happened when Lu Xiaofeng was imprisoned here, besides the outer Buddhist sect formation, many restrictions, Kong Er and Kong Ming took turns guarding here, fearing any leaks. This alone shows the degree to which the Buddhist sect valued Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xia Tian's divine sense entered Ming Yuan's body, and after a long while, he withdrew it. His brows furrowed involuntarily.

“Senior Lu, could it be that my cultivation progress doesn't meet your requirements” Mingyuan felt a pang of anxiety in his heart.

"So-so, not very satisfying, but it'll do. Are you ready" Lu Xia Tian asked.

"A thousand days of training, for one day of battle. But relying on the orders of our predecessors!" Mingyuan had long known that this day would come. In the Buddhist sect, he had no further room for improvement. If it weren't for being confined here, even if Lu Xiaoteng wanted to, he wouldn't be able to get into the other party's eyes at all. There are dozens of cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage in the Red Moon Desert, and how could the benefits ever reach him

If one is unwilling to pay the proper price, why should Lu Xia Tian help him improve his cultivation and provide him with the materials needed for advancement

"Swallow this pill." Lu Xia Tian extended a finger and flicked, a blood-red pill flying towards Ming Yuan.

Ming Yuan opened his mouth and swallowed the pill. Lu Xia Tian suddenly stretched out a finger, and Ming Yuan let out a pained grunt. His left hand, from below his elbow, detached itself. Not a single drop of blood spilled. At the same time, Lu Xia Tian's left hand also detached itself and floated over to Ming Yuan.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Ming Yuan was shocked and at a loss, with no idea what had happened. He didn't dare to move an inch, fearing he might ruin Lu Xia Tian's situation.

Lu Xia Tian's severed hand was seamlessly reattached to Ming Yuan's arm. The point where it had been broken seemed almost flawless, and even their breaths synchronized as one.

“I’ll take your arm first, and I’ll return it to you after things are settled,” Lu Xia Tian said as he stretched out his palm. A sandalwood box appeared in his hand. The severed limb of Ming Yuan flew into the box. The lid shut, its restrictions flashing, trapping the limb's vitality within.

"Senior, is there anything else you require" Mingyuan asked.

>

“Just go out, after you go out, find an excuse to retreat. This arm will have a chance to be returned to you in the future.” Lu Xia Tian said.

"Yes, senior!" Mingyuan nodded. He didn't linger any longer, knowing that Lu Xiaoteng was deep in thought, beginning to plan his departure from the Zhu Buddha Sect. Since he had voluntarily boarded Lu Xiaoteng's ship, there was no room for him to back out now. Otherwise, neither the Buddhist sect nor Lu Xiaoteng would tolerate him.

Seeing Ming Yuan pass through the restrictions and leave, Lu Xia Tian's heart finally relaxed. After preparing for so many years, there was finally some progress. Although it took a long time to cultivate Ming Yuan as a chess piece, it was still somewhat useful.

Not only was Lu Xia Tian uneasy, but Ming Yuan was also on edge. He didn't know if it was Kong Ye or Kong Ming sitting here, but one of them had to be. If they were found out, Lu Xia Tian wouldn't be able to save him.

Fear in his heart, he couldn't go too fast, lest he reveal himself. Only when he left the core area of the Buddhist sect did Mingyuan’s heart finally settle back into his chest.f regret in her eyes.Then everyone looked at Lu Xia Tian, "This thunder formation is very powerful. If it is fully activated, I'm afraid we will all die without a place to bury us. Daoist Dongfang, do...
