Chapter 825: Within Expectation

If this was in the past, the Dragon would’ve thought that Lu Xuan was joking. Now, not a single soul thought that he was.

Lu Xuan was someone who could easily fight against the Four Legendary Monster Kings and win. He killed one of the monsters while subduing the rest, after all. He even managed to take more than thirty other monster kings down without even breaking a sweat.

His power and strength were unique, even in the Tempest Ocean Realm.

He was the best among the cultivators on the same level as him.

Words of Lu Xuan’s achievement had begun to spread throughout the vast universe.

Cultivators from both Earth and the Tempest Ocean Realm wholeheartedly agreed that Lu Xuan was quite powerful.

Being recognized by the enemy was an assurance of Lu Xuan’s strength. From that moment onwards, his name was known all around the world.

Dragon had recognized that power and would never think that Lu Xuan was joking ever again. He looked worried as he said, “Still, you have to be careful. It seems like there’s someone even stronger calling the shots, and you’re his target.”

History had proven that heroes fell not because they were weak, but because they were tricked by sly people.

Lu Xuan nodded and said, “I know. It has to be Gongsun Wuji.”

He was way too familiar with how Gongsun Wuji did things. He was cast aside by others in his past life because he was standing in the lone cultivator’s way to conquer Earth. It only took a few hours for him to become everyone’s enemies.

The feeling of being trapped by Gongsun Wuji’s plan had caused a lot of suffering for Lu Xuan in his past life.

However, in this life, the man was in entirely different circumstances. He’d experienced the attacks once, so he would never fall for it again. There was also the fact that he was stronger than before.

Dragon assured, “Don’t worry, I’ve utilized every force I could order on Earth to look for him. He won’t get away! Even if he escapes back to the Tempest Ocean Realm, we still have a way to locate him!”

As soon as he got the information, he’d already ordered every intelligence department in the Earth Federation to search for Gongsun Wuji. Even with all the resources at their disposal, they still had a hard time pinpointing the target’s location.

All they got was a name. They had no idea what Gongsun Wuji looked like or where he frequented. Everything was still a mystery to them.

Lu Xuan said, “He won’t be able to get out of here. All we have to do is clock all the exit paths. I’ll draw a portrait of him later. You can use that to find him.”

Lu Xuan had no idea what Gongsun Wuji looked like now, but he knew how the man would look a few decades later.

Lu Xuan wasn’t worried that the sketch might be too old because cultivators tend to age slower. It was usual for a cultivator to not age for a few decades.

“I understand!”

After seeing the Dragon left, Liu Wanrong came to visit her son after she just finished her training.

“Xuan’er, I’ve heard that the situation is pretty dire?”

She was now stronger after completing her training and had now gathered her first Auric Flower. Her energy now felt like a vast ocean, much more potent than others who had collected their first flower.

It was all because of her born Taoism aptitude. She would always be far stronger than her peers. At her current level of power, she could easily take down monsters in the One Flower Realm.

“What dire situation? They are nothing more than mere pieces of trash.” Lu Xuan waved his arm, showing that he did not view the alliance as a threat.

The mother frowned still even with her son’s assurance. “If you say so. I know that these people can never cause you any harm, but I also heard of the Three Flower Realm cultivators in Tempest Ocean Realm. They even said that some of them are achieving the Consolidation Realm soon.”

The mother paused and continued, “Cultivators in the Consolidation Realm could not attack you because the law forbids them, but those in the Three Flower Realm are different. It’s not completely impossible for them to come here. How are you going to take them on if they do come? I know that we are stronger than our peers because of our talents and that a single Three Flower Realm cultivator might not be able to take you down, but what happens if more than two come for you? What are you going to do then?”

As someone who also had born Taoism aptitude, Liu Wanrong clearly understood how powerful they could be, to the point where they could fight on even ground with cultivators of a higher level.

That didn’t mean they were able to face a party of those cultivators. Even if they had born Taoism aptitude, they would still lose the fight.

That was why the mother was worried about her child. Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do to help.

At her current level of strength, she could barely survive a fight with the Snow Fox King. If she were to challenge it in the Three Flower Realm, she would be defeated instantly.

“Don’t worry, mother, I have a plan. Do you still remember the plane passageways that I sealed individually in the past?” Lu Xuan tried to comfort his mother.

Liu Wanrong exclaimed, “Of course I do! It’s still heavily protected by the Earth Federation, right? I remember you saying something like monsters from another dimension will come out from the spatial passageways if we aren’t careful.”

Lu Xuan nodded. That was one of his first worries when he reincarnated. In his past life, a swarm of monsters from both Heaven and Hell came out from the passageways and wreaked havoc all around the world.

Knowing what would happen in the future, Lu Xuan sealed all the passageways beforehand so that the tragedy would never happen. As it was an order from Lu Xuan, the forces from Earth Federation still guarded the seals tightly up until now.

There were a few attacks by the Resistance at these sites. Their targets were the seals. They aimed to break the single thing that was preventing an invasion from another dimension and release monsters to help bring the Earth Federation down and restore the country’s borders.

Luckily, the Earth Federation managed to fend off the attacks.

“I’ve also set up formation eyes at those locations as well. I can use them to seal Earth off. If I do that, even the most powerful cultivator from the Tempest Ocean Realm will not be able to reach Earth through the ancient pathway of the stars.”

Lu Xuan had been putting his plan into motion as soon as he reincarnated. Thus, he was well-prepared for situations like this.

Earth was basically covered in a giant magic circle. Lu Xuan could put up a barrier and prevent the cultivators from Tempest Ocean Realm from reaching Earth.

Meanwhile, he could use this opportunity to take care of all the unstable factors that still lingered on Earth. One of those factors just so happened to be Gongsun Wuji.
