Chapter 789: Essence Flower
Given Lu Xuan’s current status, only elders or grand elders were considered worthy of personally getting in touch with him. The lowest of status among those who met him had to have been the best among the younger generations. One such example was Shi Buyi, who was definitely destined to be among the best to be found in the world.
They were all at the very top of the world; they could easily handle any problem regarding cultivation that they ran into. In contrast, everyone else would’ve deemed such problems to have been quite a headache to handle.
However, none of these problems were much trouble for Lu Xuan, who could basically solve any problem that he encountered with ease.
It would usually take several lines or even just a single line from Lu Xuan to get to the gist, enabling those who came to him to find their way out right away.
There was no doubt that all the problems that they brought before Lu Xuan had plagued them for quite some time now.
As such, Lu Xuan went out of his way to hold a seminar once every month. Everyone who chose to attend the seminars would have benefited greatly from them. While the seminars would only last several hours, countless people gathered at each one.
The greatest benefit from attending the seminars was that the powers among those at the upper echelons of the sect would’ve grown considerably. Thanks to these seminars, it took only three years for over a hundred fighters at the ninth tier of the Divine Transformation Realm to emerge. Thus, over a thousand fighters managed to reach that level.
None of them would’ve gotten this far without Lu Xuan’s guidance.
While Lu Xuan made it a point during his seminars to never be specific with his guidance, he was nonetheless able to provide the attendees a way forward thanks to his breadth of knowledge.
The fundamental guidance enabled many fighters of the sect to grow their powers at a considerable rate.
His renown grew and spread throughout the continent like wildfire. Many people out there came to learn that a sacred one was giving guidance in the Immemorial Path.
Several outsiders paid considerable prices and did whatever they could just to get a seat in the seminars.
Despite that, they all still gained plenty from the seminars. Many cultivators who hadn’t been able to progress much over the past several years, were able to make considerable amounts of progress in just a short amount of time.
He gradually became the living mascot of the Immemorial Path, yet he was always willing to teach others.
The seminars were only held once a month for several hours. after all. It didn’t get in the way of his cultivation. Meanwhile, these seminars allowed him to garner a network of human resources for Liu Haotian. While there was no way for them all to repay him for his kindness, he deemed that it would’ve been sufficient and worth his time if even one percent of those people would end up helping out Liu Haotian in the future.
Had Lu Xuan never requested for the seminars to be made available to outsiders, there was no way the sect would have been willing to do so. Those people were still of different forces; the sect wasn’t strong enough to afford to be so generous, after all.
The way they saw it, all of the outsiders were just rivals.
They were not Lu Xuan, whose vista was in the heavens and the Holy Sun Continent was still too small for him.
As such, many thought he was rather weird and absurdly generous.
The way the average disciples of the Immemorial Path saw it, all of those outsiders were rivals. What he was doing was tantamount to making their enemies stronger.
Then again, that was Lu Xuan’s order. Thus, they could say nothing about it. He was the one who had decided to teach the outsiders, after all.
However, the one that they were most envious of was still Liu Haotian. They could all benefit greatly by listening to Lu Xuan’s seminars for just half a day.
One could imagine what kind of guidance Liu Haotian would be getting from being under Lu Xuan’s tutelage, as well as how bright his future would be.
Liu Haotian, who wasn’t even 10 years old yet, was already able to defeat his peers. He had no problem beating those who were in their teens and even in their twenties.
As such, many arranged for their juniors to be at Liu Haotian’s side to serve as his people. There was no doubt that they would’ve all benefited greatly from standing beside such an invincible figure.
Lu Xuan felt that after spending three whole years at the Holy Sun Continent, it was time to leave.
He had accumulated enough over the past three years to train in isolation and make further breakthroughs.
He was about to conjure yet another flower among the three.
He opted to work with the Essence Flower next.
He had considered which among the Spirit Flower and the Essence Flower would he work on first, and he chose to work on the former before.
The Spirit Flower worked to mainly boost illusions, enabling one to attack by targeting the opponent’s primordial spirit and defend against such attacks from one’s opponents.
To a cultivator, their primordial spirits were even more important than their own heads. Any damage dealt on their primordial spirits would’ve most likely been permanent.
However, after getting his hand on the Soaring Phoenix Immortality Sutra, he was able to secure his primordial spirit so tightly that all such attacks were rendered useless against him.
Under such a circumstance, it was natural to work on the Essence Flower first.
The Essence Flower was rooted mainly in one’s lifeforce, which could meld with the Soaring Phoenix Immortality Sutra to greatly boost the spell’s power.
It would’ve enabled him to enhance his regenerative powers further, making him almost immortal. That would’ve enabled him to even recover from getting cleaved into two halves as long as he didn’t die immediately.
The Essence Flower also worked to boost the powers of spells.
For example, Lu Xuan was able to cast a Thunder Lotus of Genesis that could wreck everything within a radius of a hundred kilometers.
If the spell was further boosted by the Essence Flower, the spell’s power would’ve at least doubled and expanded its range to 200 kilometers. The spell would’ve become even more frightening.
Right now, that was the most important thing that he had to do.
He entered the Tianhai Secret Realm as soon as he announced that he would be training in isolation.
The mid-tier spirit stones stored inside dissolved into spirit qi that surged into every cell of his body right away.
He activated Taixu Origin Power and got the lifeforce within every single cell to work, forming a turquoise bubble around him.
Meanwhile, his lifeforce was being refined. His life essence slowly gathered above his head as he got to work.
At the same time, the Auric Flower above his head burst with frightening light. The power of the Auric Flower raged everywhere around him.
The Auric Flower was even suppressing the Essence Flower.
The Essence Flower was far smaller. Thus, it was far weaker than the massive Auric Flower.
That was why many people failed to conjure their second and third flowers after conjuring the first one, due to being unable to balance the two flowers conjured.
Due to having to struggle to even maintain such a balance, conjuring their third flower would’ve been considered an insurmountable obstacle for most people to overcome; they had to spend a lot of time and energy to even succeed, after all.
However, none of that seemed to have been a problem for Lu Xuan.
The small Essence Flower began to form despite the pressure from the Auric Flower.
Over time, the small Essence Flower began to grow. The lifeforce inside his body was continuously refined into life essence for supporting the Essence Flower; it was the same as someone watering their plants.
