That ethereal and tranquil aura continued to spread, reaching over a thousand miles in no time. It even surpassed the original boundary of one thousand six hundred miles. However, after exceeding one thousand six hundred miles, the spreading speed began to slow down, finally stagnating at one thousand seven hundred miles. At Lu Xiaoteng's current level, every slight improvement was incredibly precious, like inching forward on a bamboo pole a hundred feet high. Yet now, he had inexplicably increased his cultivation by a fraction of over ten percent.

Within the realm of this scenery, the wind and sand cease their movement. The tenacious plants that grow between rocks and stones quiver their delicate leaves, infused with a touch more vitality.

At this time, the Leifeng Gorge was like a huge vortex, madly sucking in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The originally low-lying plants that only survived in the crevices of rocks seemed to be affected by some kind of mysterious force and began to grow a little bit. In a short while, what had been a barren land, the Leifeng Gorge, unexpectedly gained much greenery.

Within a radius of hundreds of miles shrouded in sand and dust, one part was inhabited by phantom spirit avatars who were contemplating the Great Blazing Fire Sutra, utilizing the boundless fire pillar to cast a fiery confinement array. The other part consisted of a blue sea of flames transformed from the Brahma Lotus True Fire. Seven towers dedicated to subduing demons stood imposing and solemn, with four layers radiating a soft glow that continuously converged with the starlight sprinkled by the Bodhi Star Spirits above the seven-colored Buddha lotus floating on the sea of fire.

The seven-colored lotus swayed with the waves of the fire sea, and among them, the Bodhi Star Spirits were the most joyful.

This wondrous state persisted for a long time. When the closed lotus finally unfolded petal by petal, there was no trace of Lu Xiaottian within. However, if one looked closely, they could discern a faint and ethereal shadow inside.Lu Xiaottian had not vanished into thin air; rather, his body had become as light and transparent as smoke. From afar, one's gaze could pass straight through him to see farther beyond. Furthermore, Lu Xiaottian had merged completely with the surrounding energy. Without careful observation, he would be easily overlooked.

The figure, radiating an aura of profound detachment, rose slowly from the blossoming seven-colored lotus. Their face was as serene as the deep sea, and their eyes shone like stars. The petals of the seven-colored Buddha lotus unfolded one by one, transforming once more into seven ancient Buddha seals that flew into the Demon Suppressing Pagoda.

And a figure almost transparent stood on the waves of fire, naturally taking a step forward. With each step, a seven-colored lotus bloomed out of thin air beneath his feet. Then, with every step taken, a seven-colored lotus bloomed majestically on the surface of this blazing inferno.

"Buddhism resides in the heart, each step blooming lotus. After attaining the fourth level of profound meditation, even Mahābuddha experienced such transformation." Lu Xia Tian smiled, reveling in this ethereal state of mind.

"It's a pity, these lotuses are just illusions, not real." Lu Xia Tian swept his eyes over the rows of lotus flowers behind him that seemed to bloom and wither with each step. They gradually faded away in an instant, vanishing into nothingness. A true high monk of the Buddha Sect, every step he takes brings forth a blooming lotus flower, forever open and undying! In the end, my realm hasn't reached that level. Perhaps I'm still missing one of the three holy trees of the Buddha Sect: the Pure World Lotus. "

The fiery inferno forged by the true fire of Brahma retreated, leaving behind a surging tide of spirit flames that flowed into the Demon Suppressing Pagoda. The Bodhi Star Spirit, like a wisp of ethereal fish, darted into the current and disappeared. In reality, it followed the retreating Brahma True Fire into the Demon Suppressing Pagoda. One by one, the Demon Suppressing Pagodas shrank before vanishing into Lu Xiaotian's palm.

The seven sariras in his body were each enshrined in their corresponding pagoda. After a moment, Lu Xiaoteng's nearly translucent body became solid again. Compared to before, his appearance remained unchanged, but he seemed to have an extra aura of purity, like a lotus emerging from water.

"My strength has indeed increased a lot, it's a pity that there's no one to practice with." Feeling the pure surge of mana within him, Lu Xia Tian had an urge to vent it out. Before this, his mana had also broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, but just after the breakthrough, Yu Zi Mo brought news of Ye Zi Yu and Zhu Qi Yu's encounter with danger. There was no time for him to savor the changes that came with the advancement in realm, Lu Xia Tian rushed straight to the Dark Demon Tomb. The Dark Demon Tomb, naturally, wasn't a suitable place for Nascent Soul realm cultivators to cultivate.

Only after rescuing Zhu Qi and confirming that Ye Ziyu was safe, having escaped the clutches of Wu Changlian, did Lu Xiaoteng's return to Liefengxia this time feel relatively justified. Even with the same amount of magical power, what he could achieve before and now were completely different under his control.

“I wonder how I would fare against Wu Changlian if we fought now.” Lu Xia Tian felt a tinge of nostalgia for his previous battles with Wu Changlian. At this moment, Lie Feng Gorge had only him and Zhu Qi as the experts in the He-Ti realm. However, Zhu Qi was no match for him at present. Neither his use of magical power nor his blood energy could compare to Lu Xia Tian's.

It's also unclear what Nan Chen Du's true strength is. Looking back now, Lu Xiao Tian probably didn't think that his full strength was displayed during their encounter in the Dragon Wen Ghost Lair last time. After all, there were several powerful combined monsters present then, and Zi Huo Lang Jun's appearance was quite strange. In such a situation, anyone would be cautious and hold back some cards for later use. They wouldn't reveal all their hand, otherwise, they wouldn't have broken out of the formation so soon after Lu Xiao Tian had just escaped from the abyss.

With just a slight thought, he dismissed Nan Chen Du as a sparring partner. Lu Xiao Tian was willing, but the other party might not be keen on fighting him. After much deliberation, he estimated that only Wu Chang Lian was suitable to spar with him. Perhaps there were also high monks from the Buddhist Sect, but under normal circumstances, Lu Xiao Tian didn't want to provoke them. After all, they had deep roots and unlike Wu Chang Lian, killing them wouldn't be as simple. It wouldn't cause too serious consequences.

This is also the difference between ordinary monks and those from major sects who have achieved the Nascent Soul stage. Even figures like Lei Seng Ming and Evil, or Ming Yi Zen Master, could always find opponents of similar caliber within the Buddhist sect to spar with, familiarize themselves with their realms, and comprehend divine abilities. However, Lu Xia Tian has a limited circle of acquaintances, and there isn't a single person who could serve as a proper opponent for him.

Shaking his head, he saw that the phantom clone was much dimmer than before. Lu Xia Tian reached out and patted the empty air, sending a wave of power into the phantom clone's body. The twelve fire pillars, which were originally slowing down, sped up again. After Lu Xia Tian's enlightenment, the formation of the fire pillars became even tighter, with twelve fire pillars having different speeds, but giving people the feeling that it was more like an inseparable whole than before.

“It’s usable for duels, but it’s still a long way from the level of that old monster Huoyun. ” Lu Xiaoteng sized up this Xuanhuo Kunzhen for a moment, and had a plan in mind, but he knew this was something that couldn't be rushed. Cultivating this Kunzhen required not only massive expenditure on mana and spirit creatures, but also time to accumulate.”

Two familiar auras entered the Lièfēngxiá region. Lu Xiaottian's figure flickered, and he left the place where his Phantom Spirit clone was cultivating the Xuanhuo Confinement Array.
