Since his physical body reached the Human Immortal Realm, Lu Xin hadn't cultivated much, only taking the time to overcome the Inner Demon Tribulation and the Wind and Fire Tribulation, becoming a Second Tribulation powerhouse.
The rest of the time, he was either with Ji Yue or educating his disciples.
Just like that, a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
After such a long period of development, and with the assistance of numerous resources, the strength of the Donghua Divine Palace had been qualitatively improved.
Among them, in the Refining Void Realm, in addition to Zhou Meiren, who joined midway, two more had been added, namely Ji Yue's master, Li Wenshu, and Shangren Xuancheng.
Below that was the Transformation God Realm. Those who were already in the Transformation God Realm had basically reached their peak, and more than a dozen new ones had emerged, most of whom were his disciples.
Then there was the Nascent Soul Realm. According to his statistics, to date, there were more than ninety cultivators within the Divine Palace who had reached this realm.
As for the Golden Core Realm, needless to say, the number directly exceeded one thousand, with a total of one thousand one hundred and twenty-five.
These were the backbone of the Divine Palace, and also the powerhouse pool of the Divine Palace in the future.
Below that were the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, which were the basic disciples of the Divine Palace, totaling nearly one hundred thousand.
They were scattered in various branch palaces in the Donghua Domain for training, and only when they met certain conditions would they be sent to the main palace.
This was a talent training system that had gradually formed and matured over the years. Through this system, the Donghua Divine Palace completely controlled the talents and resources of the entire Donghua Domain.
And it was still constantly attracting talents from other places.
So, all in all, the Donghua Divine Palace could already be considered a behemoth.
However, if it were in the past, this would indeed be a very terrifying force in the Donghua Domain, but now, looking at the Southern Domain, or even the entire Spirit Realm, it was still not enough.
This was also the reason why Lu Xin was somewhat helpless. There was no way around it, the development of a force was not something that could be accomplished overnight.
In addition to these, another thing worth mentioning was that more than ten years ago, he also hid his identity and swept through the sacred island located in the depths of the sea with Tushan Danyue.
Successfully helping her to advance to the Mahayana Realm.
Now she would occasionally come to stay.
As for Ji Yue, Lu Xin felt that her cultivation was too slow if she cultivated step by step, so he found a dual cultivation technique with few hidden dangers to help her advance to the early stage of the Fusion Realm.
Although he was the one being plundered, in the end, his cultivation was passively returned through the [Bond] passive skill, without any loss in between.
It could be considered as exploiting a bug.
However, at this realm, any further increase would cause hidden dangers and possibly affect her foundation, so he had to give up.
Fortunately, with the Fusion Realm cultivation base, plus the little tricks he had prepared for her, she could be considered safe.
"Are you going to ascend?" In a secret room, Ji Yue looked up, gently stroking Lu Xin's cheek with reluctance.
Seeing her like this, Lu Xin was also very reluctant. He nodded, then took her hand and instructed:
"Remember, within five thousand years, even if you reach the realm where you can ascend, don't take the initiative to ascend. Wait for me to come back and pick you up."
The reason why he instructed her like this was because the Upper Realm was boundless and extremely dangerous, and after being guided up, they would be randomly assigned. He was afraid that they would be too far apart to find each other.
"I remember," Ji Yue said softly, then leaned her head on his chest.
Lu Xin cherished this moment of tenderness, and hugged her for a long time.
Ten years later, Lu Xin finally stepped out of the Donghua Divine Palace, first visiting his friends, and then came to the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Clan in the Western Wilderness.
"Are you leaving?" Tushan Danyue still had that indifferent look.
Lu Xin nodded, "Ascending in a year."
"Are you confident?"
"Yes."
"Then be careful after you go to the Upper Realm."
"I will, you…"
"I will take care of the Donghua Divine Palace for you, and her too."
"Then thank you."
Afterwards, Lu Xin left her some things, and also mentioned the five-thousand-year agreement, and then left.
Tushan Danyue stood there, watching his back gradually disappear, clutching the storage bag in her hand tightly.
"Girl, in the last year, why don't you spend more time with him?" You Su Heiquan and Chun Hu Qingzhen suddenly appeared.
Tushan Danyue regained her icy expression, "No need, it's annoying to see him." Then she strode away.
You Su Heiquan shook his head helplessly.
One year later.
Many powerhouses from the Spirit Realm gathered near the Donghua Divine Palace, the lowest being in the Transformation God Realm, and the highest being powerhouses who had passed the Second Tribulation.
They gathered here, naturally wanting to watch how this vaguely recognized number one person in the Spirit Realm, the Pure Yang Saint Venerable, would overcome the tribulation and ascend.
Those with lower realms wanted to broaden their horizons, while those with higher realms naturally wanted to absorb some experience.
After all, in tens of thousands of years in the Spirit Realm, no one had successfully ascended.
The Three Tribulations were not that easy.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanji, long time no see, you've come too?" On a high mountain ten thousand miles away from the Donghua Divine Palace, as soon as Daoist Xuanji arrived, the people who arrived earlier hurriedly saluted.
Daoist Xuanji smiled and cupped his hands, "Fellow Daoist Mingshan, Fellow Daoist Lingxu, everyone, you've arrived quite early."
Realist Mingshan smiled and said, "No way, after all, since I became a Mahayana cultivator, I haven't seen anyone successfully ascend, so I rushed over as soon as I got the news."
Daoist Xuanji nodded, "This old Daoist also thought so. Fellow Daoist Lu, like us, has passed the Inner Demon Tribulation and the Wind and Fire Tribulation first. Next, only the strongest Divine Lightning Tribulation is left. We can just take this opportunity to witness the power of the Divine Lightning Tribulation."
Next to him, Realist Lingxu agreed: "I think everyone who came here thinks so. Although the Divine Lightning Tribulation will descend different degrees of Divine Lightning according to individual strength, being able to feel it in advance can also provide some psychological preparation."
"Fellow Daoist Lingxu is right, it's just that Fellow Daoist Chunyang's physical body is extremely strong, and I don't know what kind of Divine Lightning will descend. If it's too high, I don't know if he can survive it."
"Yes, ah." A group of powerhouses discussed.
"Roar…"
At this moment, suddenly a loud dragon roar sounded, and everyone hurriedly looked up, only to see a huge dragon head suddenly emerge from the rolling clouds.
The dragon head had antlers like a deer, a head like a camel, and ears like a cow, majestic and domineering, full of pressure.
"Fellow Daoist Ao Xuan, since you're here, why not come down and gather?" Daoist Xuanji cupped his hands towards the dragon head.
Then a flash of white light, in front of him appeared a majestic middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe and a nine-stream crown, "Old Daoist Xuanji, long time no see."
His voice was extremely loud.
Daoist Xuanji smiled, "Indeed, it's been many years since we last met, it's just that the old Daoist's face is getting older and older, but Fellow Daoist Ao Xuan is getting younger and younger."
"Haha, my dragon clan is born with a strong physical body. As long as the cultivation base is improved, returning to youth is just commonplace."
Hearing the seemingly flattering meaning in the other party's words, Ao Xuan couldn't help but laugh, but then changed the subject and said: "This king just heard you say that the Pure Yang Saint Venerable who is about to overcome the tribulation also has an extremely strong physical body?"
Everyone noticed the faintly confrontational meaning in his tone, looked at each other, and didn't know how to answer.
Afraid of stimulating him too much, affecting Lu Xin's tribulation.
Daoist Xuanji stroked his beard with a smile, "It is indeed very strong. When the Demon Realm invaded, he chased after a top Demon Venerable who specialized in physical body cultivation and successfully tore off one of the other party's arms.
Afterwards, he went to the Demon Realm to thwart the Demon Clan's conspiracy. Facing the siege of three top Demon Venerables, he killed one, destroyed the physical body of one, and seriously injured and escaped one."
Ao Xuan's face stagnated upon hearing this. He also received news about the last invasion of the Demon Realm and wanted to find a demon clan with a similar strong physical body to collide with.
As a result, before he went, the war ended with victory as the result.
He also heard that the reason why they were able to win was largely because of the Demon Subduing Formation researched by Lu Xin. As for other news, he didn't get much.
He just didn't expect that the other party's physical body was so strong, and so strong that he could kill so many top Demon Venerables.
However, he believed that he was strong, especially after leaving seclusion this time, his physical body had reached the limit of the Lower Realm, and he thought that no one in the Spirit Realm was his opponent anymore.
"Hmph, I want to see how strong he is!" He could hear the warning in Daoist Xuanji's words, which made him very unhappy.
Wanting to see what kind of lightning tribulation Lu Xin would attract next, and then how he would overcome it.
Daoist Xuanji was secretly relieved to see that the other party did not go to Lu Xin to compete, thus affecting his state of tribulation. Just now he had already prepared to step forward to stop him.
