Chapter 552. Shock, Another Blow

Lu Yuan's voice was very calm as if he were recounting something perfectly ordinary.

But those words left Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong shocked.

The siblings naturally knew that he had gone out to temper himself and search for an opportunity to break through. They had not known how that involved the Celestials. Now, after thinking it over, they immediately guessed it.

Lu Yuan had likely taken the Celestial Starfield Lord as his opponent, then wiped out the Celestials along the way.

But how long had it been? And more importantly, he had already killed the Celestial Starfield Lord?

The Celestial Starfield Lord was a Celestial Seat Immortal, a true veteran expert.

Previously, before accepting the power of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, he had only been a Creation Immortal. But because of his identity, status, and his own fighting strength, he could still be considered famous across the entire cosmos.

Yet now, it seemed he had been killed by Lu Yuan. On top of that, the entire Celestials had been wiped out too.

Jiang Haokong was the most shocked among the three. He looked at Lu Yuan, swallowed, and said, "So the Celestial Starfield Lord, a Celestial Seat Immortal, was killed by you?"

He was really shaken, because this was too terrifying. A Creation Immortal killing a Celestial Seat Immortal was something that should never happen, no matter the era. It was almost like a myth.

Yet now, it seemed to have happened. That was why Jiang Haokong found it so unbelievable.

Before Lu Yuan could answer, Jiang Taiyu smiled and said, "Naturally. The current Little Friend Lu has likely already comprehended the Celestial Seat laws. He should be able to break into the Celestial Seat Immortal Realm soon enough."

Those words were clearly meant for Jiang Haokong.

Didn't Jiang Haokong just think that he was in the Grotto-Heaven Immortal Realm, only one realm below Lu Yuan?

What about now? Lu Yuan was about to break through again.

What else could he say?

Sure enough, Jiang Haokong's expression shook. He could not even speak and could only stand there in a daze.

"So you need to enter seclusion as soon as possible and seize that feeling of comprehension, right?" Jiang Ningxian asked then. Compared to the destruction of the Celestials, she was clearly more concerned about Lu Yuan's current condition.

Since he had a chance to break through, he needed to grasp it quickly.

"That's right." Lu Yuan immediately nodded and did not deny it. This was exactly why he had returned. He needed to find a safe place to enter seclusion.

Whether he could take another step forward and break into the Celestial Seat Immortal Realm depended on this moment.

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry. Don't let anything delay you," Jiang Ningxian said at once. She was clearly very anxious for Lu Yuan. It was basically a subconscious reaction.

Seeing this, Jiang Taiyu smiled, but he said nothing about it. After a brief pause, he said, "I'll arrange a place for you."

"There is no need, Senior. I know a place that is quite good," Lu Yuan said with a smile. He already had a plan in mind.

The place where he had obtained the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token in the Thunderflash Mountain Range was very suitable.

It was a small world, difficult to destroy and sufficiently hidden. It was a good choice.

"Since you already have an idea, I won't say more." Jiang Taiyu nodded and did not insist.

He also hoped Lu Yuan could break through quickly and one day become a source of help.

He might even become an indispensable figure in resisting the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons.

In Jiang Taiyu's heart, he held extremely high expectations for Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan said nothing more. After bowing slightly, he left. With a single step, he vanished from where he stood.

Seeing this, Jiang Taiyu put away his smile and looked at his son. "If nothing unexpected happens, when Little Friend Lu comes out of seclusion again, he will definitely be a Celestial Seat Immortal. By then, that's two realms between you and him."

Jiang Haokong froze. He wanted to say something, but he could not open his mouth. Just a while ago, he had still been rather unconcerned. Looking at it now, there was indeed a problem.

He took a deep breath and said, "Father, I know what I should do from now on."

Jiang Ningxian did not say much. She had always known that there would definitely be more calamities in the future.

Under such circumstances, they had to find a way to grow stronger in a short period of time. Otherwise, they would face great problems.

For example, when facing a powerful enemy, they might not have the strength to match.

On the Celestial Star now, beings from the various races had gathered. Although this was still not representative of all the power of this world, the Demons could barely be suppressed only because her father had acted.

If such a thing happened on a larger scale, what then?

Only a powerful faction could truly disregard everything.

When Jiang Taiyu saw that both his son and daughter had reached their own conclusions, he relaxed slightly.

He did not expect the two of them to help him with anything. But at the very least, they needed to be strong enough to protect themselves. Even he, a Starfield Lord who had reached the Supreme Immortal Realm, was sensing imminent danger.

Lu Yuan entered the small world of the Thunderflash Mountain Range according to his memories.

The place was still the same as before, without much change. The sky and earth were murky and gray, filled with primal chaos.

Neither the previous battle nor the various changes in the outside world had affected this place.

Just as that expert within had said before, this small world was connected to the entire Thunderflash Mountain Range. To destroy it, one would have to destroy the whole Thunderflash Mountain Range, and clearly, ordinary people could not do that.

Thus, this truly was a very suitable place for seclusion.

Lu Yuan found an area and sat down cross-legged. He also adjusted his aura. He did not immediately sort through his insights or hurry to reach the Celestial Seat Immortal Realm.

More haste, less speed. Since he had already reached this point, there was no harm in taking the rest slowly.

More importantly, the previous battle against the Celestial Starfield Lord had consumed a great deal of Lu Yuan's energy and mind. Even now, some of his injuries had not fully recovered.

That battle had nearly required him to stake everything. Otherwise, how could he have defeated a Celestial Seat Immortal while still at the Creation Immortal Realm?

To do that, he had to pay a price. Lu Yuan's price was damage to his foundation. Of course, this was not fatal for him and would not affect him too greatly.

The key was that it needed to be repaired as soon as possible. Otherwise, these hidden injuries might pose problems in the future.

Thus, the most urgent matter now was to recover from his injuries. Unlike before, this required his full concentration.

Lu Yuan was patient. He immediately settled his mind. The Visualization Method and the Breathing Technique were also both activated then.
