"If the elders are not going down to cultivate, then it's not good for me to go down either!"
Lu Fan said with a wry smile, "Since that's the case, I'll leave first!"
Following Lu Fan's words, the elders exchanged glances, their expressions fluctuating slightly. They hadn't expected Lu Fan to be so direct.
"Since young Lu has said so, I'll accompany him to cultivate!" The Seventh Elder said with a wry smile, "Attacking the Cang Qiong Kingdom is fraught with danger. Our increased strength will also greatly help the Long Kingdom. After all, if we fail this time, we might not even be able to protect the Long Spring!"
Facing these words, everyone nodded and directly entered the Long Spring.
Seeing the elders enter the Long Spring, Lu Fan was quite satisfied. He jumped directly into the Long Spring, his expression becoming serious.
The moment he entered the Long Spring, Lu Fan felt boundless spiritual energy converging towards him. In the blink of an eye, the spiritual energy within the Long Spring directly gathered into Lu Fan's body, appearing quite terrifying.
The elders, witnessing this scene, were filled with disbelief. They clearly hadn't expected Lu Fan to achieve this within the Long Spring.
"There's so much spiritual energy in the Long Spring, and this kid absorbed it all!"
The Seventh Elder said incredulously, "This seems unlikely!"
"Indeed, it's unlikely!" The Third Elder nodded slightly. "This spiritual energy wasn't absorbed by young Lu. It seems to have been absorbed by something on him, and then continuously channeled into his body."
"It's truly rare to see so much spiritual energy gathered!"
The Ninth Elder spoke, "Could it be that young Lu is the chosen one of legend, the future ruler of the Long Kingdom!"
"Who knows about such things, but no matter what, this is a good thing for young Lu!" The Third Elder smiled slightly. "If this spiritual energy can be absorbed, his cultivation will surely increase again!"
As the elders conversed, Lu Fan had already entered a seated state. His entire being seemed to be wandering, appearing unstable. In Lu Fan's embrace, the Xing Yun Stone continuously absorbed the sparse spiritual energy, as if it were about to awaken.
"What's going on?"
The Third Elder said again, "There's so much spiritual energy in the Long Spring, why did it vanish in the blink of an eye? With young Lu's own strength, he could never have achieved this!"
The other elders were also confused. Even if they were to absorb all they could, they wouldn't be able to absorb all the spiritual energy in the Long Spring. But now, it seemed it wasn't that simple.
As the Xing Yun Stone continued to absorb spiritual energy, the Xing Yun Stone also emitted a supreme radiance, appearing dazzling and causing people to tremble. At this moment, the Xing Yun Stone seemed to possess immense pressure, forcing everyone to retreat.
"Such a powerful aura, what is going on!"
The Seventh Elder exclaimed, "Why have we never noticed it before!"
"Young Lu must have other secrets on him!"
With a serious expression, the Third Elder spoke again, "I wonder if this is a blessing or a curse for him!"
As they were conversing, Lu Fan suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the Xing Yun Stone. At this moment, he also felt that the Xing Yun Stone was extraordinary. He didn't know what had happened, and his heart grew more worried.
"Young Lu, what's going on? This Xing Yun Stone is powerful, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary item!" The Great Elder said.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Tai Xu Sword is about to appear!"
Lu Fan's eyes became solemn, with a hint of joy. If he could obtain the Tai Xu Sword, his actual combat power would surely increase again, which would be the best way to deal with the Cang Qiong Kingdom.
"Tai Xu Sword?"
The elders exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion. They didn't understand the Tai Xu Sword. However, what surprised them was the origin of the Tai Xu Sword that it could possess such a vast aura.
Rumble...
At that very moment, a pillar of light shot up into the sky. Before anyone could react, they found that in the direction of the Long Spring, a pillar of light was soaring upwards, appearing quite powerful. There was even an ancient aura emanating from the pillar of light, sending chills down their spines.
"I didn't expect the Tai Xu Sword to be in the Long Spring!"
Looking at the pillar of light before him, Lu Fan's eyes were filled with joy. He hadn't expected it, and it was full of pleasant surprise.
At this moment, the elders also looked towards the Long Spring, their eyes filled with anticipation. Since Lu Fan was so happy, the Tai Xu Sword must be extraordinary, otherwise Lu Fan wouldn't be like this.
As they were conversing, an iron sword shot up from the Long Spring, carrying an incredibly ancient aura, forcing everyone to take a few steps back.
"Such a powerful ancient aura, could this sword be an ancient sword!"
The elders' eyes were filled with disbelief and shock. They were very clear about how powerful ancient swords were. If given time, they would surely be able to overpower all rivals.
At this moment, whether in Jiangnan or Jiangbei, everyone turned their gaze towards the direction of Longdu, their expressions filled with fear. They didn't know what kind of aura it was that filled them with dread.
"Tai Xu Sword Intent!"
In a desolate mountain range of the Long Kingdom, a white-haired old man looked towards Longdu, his eyes shining with a sharp glint.
At this moment, in other parts of the Long Kingdom, many experts also looked towards Longdu, their hearts filled with shock. After all, they could clearly perceive this powerful aura.
"Tai Xu Sword Intent!"
Lu Fan also looked towards the Tai Xu Sword, his expression solemn. He directly took the Tai Xu Sword into his hand, feeling his entire being imbued with an ancient aura, almost unable to bear it.
Sensing Lu Fan's restraint, the Tai Xu Sword continuously struggled, emitting an ancient aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
"Young Lu, you must hold onto it tightly, and absolutely do not let it escape your grasp, otherwise you will not become its master!" The Great Elder said solemnly.
Following these words, everyone nodded. At that moment, they held their breath for Lu Fan. They were very clear about how powerful the Tai Xu Sword Intent was. If there was the slightest carelessness, it would cause endless trouble.
Lu Fan tightly gripped the Tai Xu Sword, his expression becoming solemn. How could he not know the power of the Tai Xu Sword? However, this Tai Xu Sword was an item of the Lu clan, and Lu Fan would never allow it to fall into the hands of others.
At this moment, within the Rong Kingdom, many experts were already heading towards Longdu. They were quite covetous of the Tai Xu Sword, after all, it was an ancient artifact, and moreover, the Tai Xu Sword was so powerful that it was enough to incite a desire to seize it.
