Chapter 885 - Tempest Alliance Convention
Chapter 885: Tempest Alliance Convention
Of course, over the past year, not only had the Deep Sea Poisonous Jiao Dragon’s strength been rapidly increasing, but Lu Xuan had also improved a fair amount.
He had successfully reached the peak of the Late-stage Consolidation Realm!
He was one step away from breaking into the peak of the Consolidation Realm itself!
However, his greatest concern right now was the safety of his family.
It had been such a long time since Li Shou started hunting down Lu Xuan, and he had received no news so far.
Lu Xuan wondered if the Xuanhuo Sect would grow suspicious.
In the past, Lu Xuan still had to worry about the Xuanhuo Sect and had tried his best to not set that bomb off. But now, he no longer had to fret so much.
In other words, he did not have to concern himself with them at all. What’s more at this time!
With that in mind, Lu Xuan hesitated no more and headed towards the Holy Nun Gate by evasive light.
More than a year ago when he just entered the Tempest Ocean Realm, he still had to be careful to avoid running into the deep-sea overlords.
But right now, that was completely unnecessary. Even without the Deep Sea Poisonous Jiao Dragon, with only Lu Xuan’s own strength, it was safe for him to say that aside from the Great Demonic Deity Of The North, the Jiao Dragon King, and the leader of the Xuanhuo Sect, no one could defeat him.
He was within the ranks of the top five in the world!
There was nothing to be afraid of!
When Lu Xuan once again set foot on the Tempest Continent, more than a day had passed. It was inconceivable how far Lu Xuan travelled during this time frame and how deep the Tempest Ocean was.
When Lu Xuan returned to the Holy Nun Gate, he discovered that only Lu Guoguo was present to guard it.
Lu Guoguo was surprised and delighted when she saw Lu Xuan.
“You finally came back! I thought you’re never gonna return!”
Lu Guoguo said with surprise and joy.
“Who said so? I’m back safe and sound, aren’t I?” Lu Xuan smiled.
“It’s all because of those people from the Xuanhuo sect. They’ve been spreading the news that you’re dead!”
Lu Guoguo replied.
“I knew that you won’t die so easily!”
Lu Xuan knitted his eyebrows and said, “They’ve been spreading such news? Why?”
“They want to partition the earth!”
Lu Guoguo explained, “Now that the Xuanhuo Sect is trumpeting the news of your death, many people are tempted to take action!”
“How foolish!”
Lu Xuan sneered. He could totally imagine that when the news that he had fallen spread, the forces that had always been coveting earth but could not make a move due to Lu Xuan’s presence, would start to quiver with temptation.
“In the past year or so, I have slain a few Three Flower Realms. Shanshan and master have also joined forces to eliminate a group of people on the rise, and only after that could we consider the situation stabilized!” Lu Guoguo said somewhat helplessly.
In the past, even if there were not too many highly skilled individuals on the earth, the powerhouses of the Tempest Ocean did not dare to launch an attack recklessly. Adding to that was also the fact that Lu Shanshan and Lu Guoguo had prevented them from doing at the early stages.
When Lu Xuan was not around, the few who were born in the Yunxuan Villa were the earth’s backbone.
Singlehandedly, they upheld the earth.
“But that doesn’t matter anymore since you’re back. I can finally relax a little. It just so happens that I can utilize this time to go for secluded training, condense my Spirit Flower, and then make the final spurt to the Consolidation Realm in one go!”
When Lu Shanshan saw Lu Xuan, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She did not have to worry that the earth would be ruled by someone else overnight, and there was no need to worry that humans on earth would become slaves to them.
“Where’s Shanshan and Lord Lin?” Lu Xuan asked.
“They went to Cloud City to participate in the Tempest Alliance Convention!” Lu Shanshan continued after a slight pause, “Oh, speaking of which, they’ve seriously gone overboard. I heard master said that this Tempest Alliance Convention has a few Consolidation Realms joining forces to divide the earth. When the spirit qi on Earth proceeds into its next stage of recovery, a number of the most powerful at the Consolidation Realm will descend upon earth!”
Lu Xuan knew that this day was coming. During his previous life, the arrival of the Five Consolidations also occurred. Despite the Five Consolidations having descended together at that time, the main focus was still the rivalry and collision between Lin Ziyi and the leader of the Xuanhuo Sect.
Among the various aspects of their rivalry, the leader of the Xuanhuo Sect had the convincing upper hand against Lin Ziyi, be it in terms of personal connections or relationships. Lin Ziyi’s Holy Nun Gate was not even 1% of the size of the Xuanhuo Sect. If it were not for Lin Ziyi’s tyrannical abilities, there was no chance for her to win at all.
But after all these years of hard work, Lin Ziyi finally received Lu Xuan’s assistance and mounted a comeback.
Compared with the Tempest Ocean Realm that had been thoroughly developed, the earth was an out-and-out virgin land with unimaginable potential.
Whoever could seize the earth would have a huge territorial advantage in the future. Even Lin Ziyi, who was not interested in all of this had been forced to participate in the competition for the earth.
Otherwise, the gap between the Holy Nun Gate and Xuanhuo Sect would widen at an extremely alarming rate.
It was just that in this life cycle, because of Lu Xuan, the speed of the earth’s recovery was many times faster than before. This naturally caused the Tempest Alliance Convention to be brought forward.
In his previous life, Lu Xuan was powerless against this alliance. This was an alliance against the earth. Even within this group, it was rather difficult for their own members to deal with each other, and infighting was commonplace.
Despite that, it was still a behemoth that the earth could not handle at all, especially the Xuanhuo Sect who almost completely hindered the earth’s recovery.
Opening up territories, new colonies, new resource-producing areas; all of these would have anyone burning with excitement.
But if one were part of the faction that was exploited, then the situation would be completely different.
There would only be deep grief and anger.
At that time, Lu Xuan was powerless, but now, things were different. He already had the ability to partake in this and even completely overturn the tables.
Compared with Lu Xuan’s later experience, the Tempest Alliance Convention that once forced him into a corner was just a trivial issue to him right now.
“Now, we are at the mercy of our opponents. Master said that she cannot protect the earth all by herself. In order to save the earth, we have no choice other than to improve ourselves!”
Lu Guoguo remarked. Over the years, she had experienced too much. Ever since the recovery of spirit qi, the position of humans at the top of the food chain had been on the verge of toppling.
The changes in this short period of twenty years were even greater than those of the past two hundred years.
“Master said that if one is not at the Consolidation Realm, one will not have the right to even speak. Only if the few of us step into the Consolidation Realm, can we prevent the earth from being divided by the Tempest Ocean Realm. I must do so as soon as possible!”
Lu Guoguo said solemnly. She was getting serious. Under the protection of Lu Xuan, they had been living too comfortably for way too long, and there was no real sense of crisis.
It was not until Lu Xuan had left Earth a few years ago that the Tempest Ocean Realm suddenly descended, and it was then that she truly understood danger.
