Chapter 339: Returning to the Heavenly Palace
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At that moment, the Dragon realized what happened. “He can sense it!” Even so, the concept remained unfathomable to common folks.
The Dragon was a top-notch fighter himself who also had already made it to the Airborne realm.
He too began to gain a lot of baffling and unbelievable skills and power.
He was able to even react in time to someone watching him from several kilometers away.
That mystical feeling that he was unable to quite place became increasingly apparent. His perception sharpened as he grew in power.
As such, he was able to understand the concept that Zhang Fashan was explaining.
While he still found the feat rather unbelievable, he was nonetheless sure that Lu Xuan had his ways of doing so. He was unable to imagine how one could actually sense themselves being watched by satellites through one’s instinct alone.
Zhang Fashan paused for a bit and voiced his speculation. “That is correct. He can sense it. If I’m not mistaken, you’re implying that Lu Xuan disappeared, right?”
“Indeed, he has.”
The Dragon did not bother hiding anything and soon hung up.
“Then that means he truly managed to pull something like that. What a truly terrifying young man.” Zhang Fashan commented. Deep down, he couldn’t help but be impressed.
He put his phone down at that thought and went back to being on his own.
Lu Xuan’s appearance was a declaration of yet another possibility.
A day passed after Lu Xuan disappeared right before everyone’s eyes. Now, he was seen appearing outside the Heavenly Palace.
“The Palace Lord is back!”
The entire place was thrown into a huge commotion.
Lu Xuan had returned home.
They already knew that Lu Xuan was still alive since they watched the battle on the live stream, but watching him from a screen was nowhere near as shocking as watching him appear in person.
After all, this was a man who survived being bombed by a nuclear missile.
Lu Xuan might have become the first man with two achievements in history.
The first achievement was being the first man who was deemed required to be taken out with nuclear weapons.
The second one was the first man who survived being bombed by said nuclear weapon intact in history.
What was more terrifying was that the first thing Lu Xuan did upon returning went on to destroy the White House, instantly killing the President of the United States of America.
Countless people throughout the world had wanted to do such a thing, but the only one capable of doing so was Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan then went on to kill three Airborne Realm beings, shocking cultivators from around the world.
There was no denying that top-notch cultivators in the current era were reduced to being helpless babies when facing off against Lu Xuan. He brought down each of the three with a single swing of his sword.
The images from that battle were quickly made into memes by the netizens.
Each taken out with a single swing of the sword, with images at the side emphasizing the words: “Get out of my way, weaklings.”
The brief scene of his battle with the three Airborne Realm beings, starting from his appearance right until his disappearance, saw clicks exploding on the internet.
Aside from the cultivators, even common folks became fascinated with that god of war that trampled over all who stood in his way.
Lu Xuan became a new world-class internet sensation in just a single night.
If even the common folk could develop such interest in him, one could imagine the levels of interest generated among the myriad of both cultivation forces and governments throughout the globe. All of them went on to use that video as important research material, to determine just how powerful Lu Xuan had gotten back in that scientific outpost.
To put it precisely, one could tell that Lu Xuan seemed to have yet to fight at his fullest. He simply swung his sword three times at three of the world’s best fighters, killing them on the spot.
No one knew if that was him truly fighting at his best.
Lu Xuan found everyone in the Heavenly Palace gazing at him with reverence as soon as he walked into the Heavenly Palace, making him a more glorified presence than he was before he left.
While he still felt that his current situation was rather odd, he caught sight of his mother, Liu Wanrong.
The first thing she did when she saw her son coming back was to smack him hard in the head.
Slap!
She felt as if she had been smacking on a block of iron right there and then, with her fair-looking hand becoming reddened right away.
Liu Wanrong rolled her eyes at Lu Xuan and said, “I thought you were no longer coming home anymore!”
Her eyes became reddened as she spoke. She felt her heart almost leaping out of her chest upon learning that Lu Xuan was bombed by the US with a nuclear missile.
It was the master-slave contract bond between the rabbit and him that let her know that Lu Xuan was still alive, as opposed to everyone believing he was dead.
She would have been unable to imagine what she would have done if she were to have thought him dead as everyone else did.
Even so, she began to feel rather anxious after receiving no news at all despite a long time had passed.
All she could think about at that moment was simply protecting her son’s assets while waiting for his return.
Now, she was finally relieved to see him home in one piece.
Lu Xuan smirked. He initially thought going to the south pole and taking out Cain was such an easy task that was basically not worth bringing up.
No one had anticipated the trip ended up spiraling out of control; he almost ended up dead in Antarctica.
Liu Wanrong looked at Lu Xuan and added, “Well, I guess it’s fine as long as you made it back in one piece, I guess. As for that president… serves him right, damn it! How dare he set up my son like that! Even if you spared him, I would’ve killed him all the same.”
Liu Wanrong’s words were filled with murderous intent, making it clear that she hated that president with a fiery passion.
That was the man who had almost killed her son after all. She was just glad to see him dead.
That President of the United States of America, which many saw to be someone of extreme importance, was someone she deemed to be of less worth than even a single hair on her son.
Lu Xuan chuckled and said, “Relax, mom. Anyone who could actually kill me has yet to be born.”
Lu Xuan took a look at his mother and quickly found that after not seeing her for a while, she had become an Airborne Realm being. Furthermore, she was at the extreme heights of the realm, so much so that she was simply half a step away from making a breakthrough.
While Liu Wanrong was of born Taoism aptitude as well, the rate of progress she was moving in was nonetheless frightening.
Liu Wanrong then said, “What do you think I’ve been doing with all that time I had? Whenever I was not out cleaning out the filth from your Heavenly Palace, I was training so damn hard. I refuse to be dead weight.”
Upon hearing his mother’s heartfelt words, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but feel warm deep down. Regardless of how the outsiders treated him, at least he had his family standing with him.
“Indeed, we couldn’t be of help to you most of the time, but none of us want to hold you back.”
Liu Wanrong stressed the fact.
“It’s not just me, but your dad as well. He’s becoming very diligent at training now. Well, at the very least, he manages to stop his hair loss. He’d have become some greasy old fart if he turned out as some balding ugly man.”
Liu Wanrong elaborated while looking rather disgusted.
“I’m telling you. After your dad found that cultivation helped with stopping his hair loss, not only was he damn proud of it, he was also actually going very hard with training. I’d advise against underestimating him, for he is also at Celestial Realm right now.”
An image of a man undergoing a mid-life crisis trying very hard to fight his receding hairline came to mind as he heard his mother’s description. He was unable to stop himself from laughing.
“You’re actually laughing about it! I’m telling you, son. Don’t ever tell your dad what I told you.”
She then continued, “By the way, what the hell is wrong with the Heavenly Palace? The place looked absolutely awful! Did you ever think of running this place well?”
He then looked at his mother and asked, “What’s wrong with it?”
