"No need."
In the face of the young man’s invitation, Lu Yuan flatly refused.
To put it nicely, teaming up can help share the risks, but when it comes to interests, one might just get backstabbed at any time.
Moreover, as a Gu Cultivator, how could he possibly team up with these parasitic cultivators, whose flesh and blood have mutated?
"Then, I shall take my leave."
The young man was refused, his face turned somewhat unpleasant, and he returned to the team without a word.
The other disciples of the Medicine Buddha Sect, seeing this, also dispelled the idea of trying to recruit Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan, however, didn’t care about this.
His purpose for this trip was quite simple, to obtain as many law fragments as possible and upgrade his Innate Spirit Gu to the Third Transformation.
Then he would gather information about Demonic Dao Evil Cultivators and Ancient Gu Dao Inheritance.
He had no interest in participating in the overt and covert struggles among major forces, but if someone dared to obstruct him, he would casually obliterate them.
As time went on, the time for the Cyan Spirit Secret Realm to open was approaching.
And the number of cultivators gathered here was increasing, already exceeding ten thousand!
The Cyan Spirit Secret Realm forms a world of its own and brews ten incomplete law fragments every ten years.
Although these law fragments are of no use to Nascent Soul Strong Persons, they are coveted treasures for all Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Hence, this secret realm is also known as the Supreme Core Formation Land, and every time it opens, it causes a sensation throughout the Southern Domain.
Many young disciples had fervent gazes, full of ambition, all hoping to seize this opportunity and soar to greatness, forging a supreme Dao Foundation!
But it was at this moment that a commotion suddenly arose from the crowd.
Lu Yuan followed the crowd’s gaze, only to see hundreds of black dots roaring in from the distance with an extremely terrifying momentum.
As he focused his attention, he discovered that these black dots were actually hundreds of cultivators flying on swords!
Before these cultivators even arrived, a fierce Sword Qi swept over them, making many cultivators feel as if their eyes were about to be cut.
With their hands behind their backs and standing on longswords, their expressions were cold and indifferent, all dressed in black robes.
And on the chest of their robes, a Giant Sword pattern was emblazoned.
Seeing this pattern, Lu Yuan’s gaze sharpened, immediately recognizing their origin.
Giant Sword Pavilion!
They only cultivate the Sword Dao, and the entire sect consists solely of Sword Cultivators, with Swordsmanship that is unpredictable and unrivaled in attack.
After the fall of Shepherd Spirit Sect, Giant Sword Pavilion replaced it and became the number one sect in the current Southern Domain!
Even the North Cold Sect, which always acted arrogantly, dared not act presumptuously in front of them!
"Giant Sword Pavilion has become more prosperous in recent years."
Sect Leader Huiming looked at a young disciple with extraordinary bearing at the front of the Giant Sword Pavilion’s team, and couldn’t help but feel some admiration in his heart.
Unlike the Medicine Buddha Sect, which is now lacking in talent, Giant Sword Pavilion, as the number one sect in the Southern Domain, was brimming with talent, with countless prodigies emerging.
That young disciple named Sun Hong was a prodigy in Sword Dao, who had reached Foundation Establishment Perfection at the age of sixteen, his talent only rivaled by Ye Chen to a slight extent.
Not to mention, the Sword Pavilion Ancestor’s power was heaven-reaching, and his Swordsmanship had long reached Mastery, arguably the strongest in the Southern Domain.
It wasn’t long before.
The numerous disciples of Giant Sword Pavilion landed on a piece of open ground not far away.
With a single gesture, the giant swords under their feet turned into streaks of light, automatically returning to the scabbard behind them, their movements smooth and elegant, looking very graceful.
"Sect Leader Huiming, fellow Daoist Yun Mingzi, long time no see, I hope you are both well."
A burly man stepped forward, laughing heartily.
"I didn’t expect Brother Gao to lead the team this time; it seems Giant Sword Pavilion is determined to succeed in this trial."
Upon seeing this person, Sect Leader Huiming did not dare to neglect, and immediately came forward to greet him.
Even the usually proud Yun Mingzi couldn’t help but force a smile at this moment.
Sword cultivators are unrivaled in attack, rarely meeting opponents of the same level.
Moreover, the burly man was the Punishment Hall Elder of Giant Sword Pavilion, holding a high position and esteemed status, no less than the sect leaders of some second-tier sects.
"Sect Leader Huiming, rumors outside suggest that the Medicine Buddha Sect has produced an unparalleled celestial pride, whom you and the other three Peak Masters have taken as a disciple. Could it be this young man?"
The burly man scanned the Medicine Buddha Sect team, finally fixing his gaze on Lu Yuan.
There are no secrets under the sun.
Although the upper echelons of the Medicine Buddha Sect tried hard to block information and news about Lu Yuan, with the supreme methods of Giant Sword Pavilion, it would only take a little effort to discover this matter.
Hearing the burly man’s words, the gazes of North Cold Sect and other strong figures also turned towards Lu Yuan.
They had heard some rumors about this matter even before this.
Moreover, not long ago, the young prodigy disciples of the Medicine Buddha Sect were ambushed by Demonic Dao Evil Cultivators during their trials, suffering heavy losses.
Still, they dared to participate in this trial despite their great losses, so they must be secretly relying on something.
If everyone wasn’t mistaken, Lu Yuan must be the strongest hidden card of the Medicine Buddha Sect!
"Brother Gao, you must be joking. Lu Yuan’s talent is mediocre; he is but a humble disciple of mine. How could he compare with your venerable sect’s Sun Hong?"
Sect Leader Huiming forced a smile, but could not help feeling slightly annoyed.
This burly man seemed straightforward, yet was actually meticulous and scheming. With a single remark, he had put the Medicine Buddha Sect in a difficult position.
If not handled properly, Lu Yuan would inevitably be targeted by many forces!
"Sect Leader Huiming, stop being modest. An eight-year-old genius at Foundation Establishment Perfection has never been seen before across the entire Southern Domain."
The burly man smiled faintly, causing great trouble for the Medicine Buddha Sect with mere words, and turning Lu Yuan into the target of all.
