Mortal Cultivator

Wang Lu sat cross-legged in his cave, surrounded by spiritual energy like substance. After years of hard training, he finally entered the early stage of the Immortal Emperor, but this early stage of cultivation was still like a candle in the wind, not stable.

But he didn't have time to slowly nurture it, because the Dao Realm Competition of the Ancient Dao Realm was about to start, and the legendary Dao Fruit had a fatal attraction to him.

He stood up and looked into the distance with a firm gaze. This time he went to the Ancient Dao Realm, he knew that there were many dangers, but for the sake of the Dao Fruit, in order to go further in this vast fairyland, he had no choice. Wang Lu's figure flashed, and he turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the direction of the Ancient Dao Realm.

Along the way, he passed through countless nebulae and encountered some interstellar robbers. Those robbers rushed towards him without knowing whether to live or die, thinking that he was a lone soft persimmon.

Wang Lu just waved his hand lightly, and the powerful immortal power instantly crushed those robbers like surging waves, leaving no residue. He did not stop at all, and his speed was getting faster and faster.

When he approached the Ancient Dao Realm, he could already feel the rich Dao charm. This is the place that countless cultivators dream of, and every competition brings together heroes from all sides of the fairy world. As soon as Wang Lu stepped into the Ancient Dao Realm, an ancient breath came to his face, as if every inch of space here was telling the glory and cruelty of the past.

He found a quiet place in the Ancient Dao Realm to stay temporarily and began to consolidate his cultivation. He guided the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to continuously wash his meridians, taming those free immortal powers little by little, and allowing them to completely integrate into his power system. Every breath was accompanied by a flash of light, and his breath was gradually becoming steady.

As the day of the Dao Realm Competition approached, more and more cultivators gathered. Wang Lu saw some familiar faces, and there were also many unfamiliar strong men. Their eyes were full of desire for Dao Fruit and expectation for victory.

The day of the competition finally arrived, and a huge arena appeared in the sky, surrounded by ancient runes, which were restrictions used to protect the competition venue and the audience. Wang Lu flew to the vicinity of the arena with the flow of people, and his appearance caused a commotion. Many people were whispering about this newly promoted Immortal Emperor in the early stage.

The competition adopted an elimination system, and the opponent was determined by random drawing. Wang Lu looked at the lot in his hand, which showed that his first opponent was a veteran Immortal Emperor in the early stage, named Zhao Feng. This person was well-known in the fairy world, known for his speed and strange body movements.

When Zhao Feng came on stage, he looked at Wang Lu with disdain in his eyes. "Boy, you just stepped into the early stage of the Immortal Emperor and came to participate in this Dao Domain Competition. You really don't know how to live or die. Today I will let you know what it means to have a higher level than the higher level." Wang Lu just smiled slightly and did not respond. He knew that words were meaningless in the face of strength.

At the beginning of the game, Zhao Feng instantly turned into a phantom and shuttled around the ring. His speed was so fast that he left a trail of afterimages. Wang Lu was not in a hurry. He closed his eyes and tried to feel Zhao Feng's breath with his heart. Suddenly, Wang Lu opened his eyes suddenly, and the Immortal Sword in his hand was unsheathed. A sword energy slashed in one direction like a long rainbow piercing the sun. With a scream, Zhao Feng appeared. His shoulder was scratched by the sword and blood was flowing.

"How could you possibly find my trace?" Zhao Feng was horrified. Wang Lu snorted coldly: "Although you are fast, your breath cannot be hidden. In front of me, it's just a trick." After that, Wang Lu flashed and appeared in front of Zhao Feng like a ghost. With a light wave of the fairy sword in his hand, Zhao Feng was knocked out of the stage and lost the qualification for the competition.

Wang Lu's victory caused a greater sensation, and many people began to re-examine this young fairy emperor. In the following competitions, Wang Lu won all the way, and his strength made his opponents daunted. In every battle, he could cleverly deal with the enemy's attack, quickly find the flaws, and give a fatal blow.

As the competition progressed, the remaining contestants were all top powerhouses in the fairy world. Wang Lu met a female fairy, who was a core disciple of an ancient sect named Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan looked beautiful, but her moves were extremely cruel. She held a ribbon in her hand, and the ribbon attacked Wang Lu like a nimble poisonous snake under her immortal power.

Wang Lu did not dare to be careless. He used his unique skills, and the immortal sword flew in the air, turning into a sword net to resist the attack of the ribbon. The battle between the two was extremely fierce. The energy fluctuations generated by the collision between the ribbon and the sword net constantly impacted the restrictions around the ring. The audience in the audience held their breath and watched this wonderful duel intently.

In the fierce battle, Wang Lu found that although Lin Xuan's ribbon attack was fierce, there was a short gap between each attack. He saw the opportunity, and when Lin Xuan showed a flaw after an attack, he suddenly broke through the sword net and rushed towards Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan was shocked and wanted to dodge but it was too late. Wang Lu did not hurt her, but trapped her with immortal power, and then gently sent her out of the ring. Lin Xuan looked unwilling, but had to admit her failure.

The game became more and more intense, and Wang Lu's consumption became greater and greater. But his desire for Dao Fruits supported him to continue fighting. In the semi-finals, his opponent was a well-known mid-stage Immortal Emperor named Li Yang. Li Yang was burly and exuded a powerful aura.

The two looked at each other and attacked at the same time. Li Yang wielded a huge axe, and every swing brought the power of splitting mountains and rocks. Wang Lu's immortal sword collided with the huge axe, making a deafening sound. He felt his arms were numb from the shock, but he did not retreat. He used his immortal power to increase his speed to the limit and continued to attack around Li Yang.

Although Li Yang was powerful, he gradually became exhausted under Wang Lu's flexible attack. He roared, and a strong aura burst out of his body. It turned out that he had performed a taboo secret technique to improve his strength in a short period of time. Wang Lu felt a huge pressure, and Li Yang's attack became more fierce. Every time the giant axe fell, it seemed to destroy the entire arena.

Wang Lu took a deep breath and decided to take a risk. He gathered all his immortal power on the immortal sword, and then performed his strongest sword. This sword contained his understanding of the sword and his perception of the great way of heaven and earth. A dazzling sword light rushed towards Li Yang and collided with his giant axe.

The powerful energy exploded, and the entire arena was shrouded in light. When the light dissipated, Wang Lu knelt on one knee, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, but he was still standing. Li Yang fell to the ground and was unconscious. Wang Lu stood up with difficulty, and he successfully entered the finals.

The opponent in the finals was a mysterious man in black robes. His aura was unfathomable, and no one knew his origins. The black-robed man stood opposite the ring, saying nothing, but the invisible pressure made Wang Lu feel suffocated.

When the game started, the black-robed man did not make any move, but just stood there quietly. Wang Lu did not dare to act rashly, and he carefully tested. Suddenly, the black-robed man stretched out a hand, and a black light shot towards Wang Lu like lightning. Wang Lu hurriedly waved his sword to resist, and the black light collided with the fairy sword. Wang Lu felt a strange force passing through the fairy sword into his body, as if to erode his soul.

Wang Lu was shocked, and he hurriedly used his fairy power to resist. The black-robed man took the opportunity to launch a more violent attack, and black light shot towards Wang Lu like raindrops. Wang Lu gritted his teeth, and he used all his strength. The fairy sword turned into countless sword shadows in the air to resist the attack of the black-robed man.

In the fierce battle, Wang Lu found that although the black-robed man's attack was strange and powerful, it seemed to consume a lot of energy. He had a plan in his mind, and he deliberately exposed some flaws to lure the black-robed man to attack with all his strength. The black-robed man was fooled. He increased the intensity of his attack, and the black light became more violent.

Just when the black-robed man thought that Wang Lu was about to lose, Wang Lu suddenly put away the immortal sword, formed seals with his hands, and muttered something. He used an ancient defensive formation to resist all the attacks of the black-robed man. The black-robed man was stunned. He didn't expect Wang Lu to have this trick.

While the black-robed man was stunned, Wang Lu picked up the immortal sword again. He gathered all his remaining strength into this sword, and then rushed towards the black-robed man. The black-robed man wanted to dodge but it was too late. Wang Lu's sword pierced his black robe, and the black robe broke. The black-robed man revealed his true face. It turned out to be a cultivator eroded by the dark power.

Wang Lu did not hesitate at all. He increased the output of immortal power and completely dispelled the dark power in the black-robed man's body. The black-robed man regained consciousness. He was grateful to Wang Lu and took the initiative to admit defeat.

Wang Lu won the championship of the Dao Realm Competition. When the Dao Fruit emitting colorful light appeared in front of him, he was very excited. He stretched out his hand and held the Dao Fruit. Suddenly, a strong Dao rhyme flowed into his body. His cultivation began to rise rapidly. The cultivation of the early stage of the Immortal Emperor became extremely stable, and there was a trend of continued breakthrough.

He knew that this time in the Ancient Dao Realm, he gained not only Dao Fruit, but also countless valuable combat experience. He left the Ancient Dao Realm with a satisfied smile and flew towards the wider Immortal Realm, ready to meet new challenges.

The news that Wang Lu won the championship in the Dao Realm Competition was like a heavy bomb, which set off an uproar in the entire Immortal Realm. His wonderful combat performance, whether it was against the veteran Immortal Emperor Zhao Feng in the early stage, or against the powerful Immortal Emperor Li Yang in the middle stage, or finally defeated the mysterious black-robed man, has become a legend that people talk about with relish.

In an immortal palace in the Ancient Dao Realm, Wang Lu sat quietly. Before he had time to savor the joy of victory, he had already felt the change in the atmosphere outside. All forces rushed towards him like sharks smelling blood.

The first to arrive was the head of a medium-sized sect, named Su Yu. He walked into the Immortal Palace with several elders from his sect, smiling. "Friend Wang Lu, you are really a hero in your youth! Your performance in the Dao Domain Competition made us cheer for you from afar." Headmaster Su Yu said enthusiastically. Wang Lu stood up to greet him and responded modestly. Headmaster Su Yu continued, "I am the head of the Lingfeng Sect. Although our sect is not the top one, it also has a place in this fairy world. I came here today to make friends with you. I hope that if you have free time in the future, you can come to our Lingfeng Sect for some pointers." As he said, he took out an exquisite storage ring, "There are some special magic weapon materials of our sect in it, which is a small gift for meeting." Wang Lu wanted to refuse, but seeing that Headmaster Su Yu was so sincere, he accepted it and said that he would visit if he had the chance.

Not long after, another group of people came. This is a chamber of commerce organization, led by a shrewd and capable female fairy named Liu Mei. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and her eyes flashed with the shrewd light unique to businessmen. "Mr. Wang Lu, you are now a celebrity in the fairy world. I am the head of the Star Chamber of Commerce. Our chamber of commerce has business all over the fairy world. Masters like you will definitely need a lot of resources in the future. Our Star Chamber of Commerce can provide you with the best service, and the price is preferential." Liu Mei said with a smile. She took out a contract, "This is the top VIP contract of our chamber of commerce. As long as you sign it, you can enjoy special discounts on any items purchased in our chamber of commerce. At the same time, we will also give priority to finding rare resources for you." Wang Lu looked at the contract and thought in his heart that the resources of the chamber of commerce would really help him in his future cultivation, so he also accepted the contract and chatted with Liu Mei to learn about some of the chamber of commerce.

As time went on, more and more people came. An envoy from an ancient family also came to the fairy palace. This family is called the Yanyang Family, which has a long history and strong foundation in the fairy world. The messenger was a graceful young man named Yan Hui. "Brother Wang Lu, I have heard of your name for a long time.

Our Yan Yang family has always paid close attention to young talents with potential. Your performance in the Dao Domain Competition this time has been greatly appreciated by the elders of the family. The family hopes to establish a good relationship with you. In the future, whether it is cultivation resources or other support, our Yan Yang family will not be stingy." Yan Hui said confidently.

He took out a sword emitting a flame, "This is the Yan Yang Sword treasured by our family. It is a top-grade immortal weapon that complements your strength. I hope you can accept it." Wang Lu looked at the sword and felt the powerful power contained in it. He knew that this was a heavy gift, but he also understood that accepting this gift meant a further relationship with the Yan Yang family. After some consideration, he still accepted the sword and thanked Yan Hui for coming.

While these forces came to make friends, there were also some people with ill intentions watching in the dark. There was a cult organization called Shadow Cult, and they were eyeing the Dao Fruit in Wang Lu's hand and his current reputation. The followers of the Shadow Cult secretly observed around the Fairy Palace, trying to find an opportunity to attack.

Wang Lu was busy dealing with visitors from all sides at this time and did not notice the potential danger. He talked with various forces to understand the situation in the fairy world and the situation of various forces. In the communication with these people, he was also constantly expanding his horizons and had a deeper understanding of the complex relationships in the fairy world.

One day, Wang Lu decided to leave the Ancient Dao Realm and go to a quiet place to practice in seclusion and consolidate his cultivation. He said goodbye to the people from all sides who came to make friends and embarked on a journey. However, he was attacked shortly after leaving the Ancient Dao Realm. The followers of the Shadow Cult finally took action. They set up an ambush, and a group of black shadows rushed towards Wang Lu from all directions.

Wang Lu was startled, but soon calmed down. He held the Yanyang Sword, infused it with immortal power, and the sword instantly ignited a blazing flame. He used the swordsmanship he learned in the Dao Domain Competition, and a stream of flaming sword energy slashed at the black shadow. The shadows let out a shrill cry, and after being hit by the sword energy, they turned into black smoke and dissipated. But the Shadow Cult has a large number of followers, and their attacks are very strange. Some shadows can quietly pass through Wang Lu's defense and try to attack his soul.

Wang Lu felt the pain in his soul, and he knew that he could not passively take the beating like this anymore. He began to concentrate and cast a soul defense spell, while strengthening the fairy shield around his body. He gradually figured out the attack method of the Shadow Cult followers in the battle. They seemed to share power through a special connection. As long as he found this connection point, he could break their attack rhythm.

After a hard fight, Wang Lu finally found the energy connection point between the Shadow Cult followers. He saw the opportunity and launched a full-strength attack. A huge flame sword energy rushed to the connection point, accompanied by a loud bang, the connection point was destroyed, and the Shadow Cult followers fell into chaos. Wang Lu seized the opportunity, launched a counterattack, and repelled the remaining followers one by one.

This battle made Wang Lu realize that his reputation brought not only glory and friendship, but also danger. But he did not back down because of this, but became more determined to improve his strength.

He continued on his way and came to a place called Kongling Island. There is abundant spiritual energy and a quiet environment here, which is a good place for retreat and cultivation. Wang Lu found a cave on Kongling Island, laid many restrictions, and then began to retreat. He took out the Tao fruit and began to absorb the power in it. The power of the Tao fruit is like a trickle, slowly flowing into his meridians, nourishing his immortal body and soul. His cultivation continued to improve under the nourishment of the Tao fruit, and the realm of the early stage of the Immortal Emperor became more stable, and his understanding of the great way of heaven and earth became more and more profound.

During the retreat, news about Wang Lu from the outside world was still circulating. The attention of various forces to him did not decrease because of his temporary disappearance. The Yanyang family discussed Wang Lu's potential within the family. They decided to increase their investment in Wang Lu, hoping to recruit him to the family. The Star Chamber of Commerce is also actively looking for rare resources suitable for Wang Lu, preparing to contact him again after he comes out of retreat. The leader of the Lingfeng Sect told the story of Wang Lu in the sect, encouraging his disciples to practice hard.

A few months later, Wang Lu finally came out of retreat. His aura was even stronger, and he exuded a confident glow. As soon as he walked out of the cave, he found some strange auras around Kongling Island. It turned out that some casual cultivators heard that he was in retreat here and came to visit him. These casual cultivators were all powerful people who ventured alone in the fairy world. They admired Wang Lu's strength and courage very much and hoped to make friends with him.

Wang Lu warmly received these casual cultivators and shared his cultivation experience with them. During the communication, he learned about some unknown mysterious places in the fairy world, which may hide more opportunities and challenges. The casual cultivators also told him that since he became famous in the Daoyu Competition, the younger generation of the fairy world has taken him as an example. Many people are working hard to cultivate, hoping to stand out in large competitions like him one day.

As time went on, Wang Lu decided to leave Kongling Island and explore the mysterious places mentioned by those casual cultivators. On the day he left, many creatures on Kongling Island came to see him off, as if they also felt the extraordinaryness of this powerful man. Wang Lu embarked on a new journey. He didn't know what was waiting for him ahead, but his heart was full of expectations. He knew that his name had spread in the fairy world, and what he had to do was to continuously improve his strength and leave his own legend in this vast fairy world.

On the way to the mysterious land, Wang Lu encountered some small episodes again. Some disciples from small sects stopped him on the road, and they hoped that Wang Lu could guide them on the problems of cultivation. Wang Lu stopped and patiently answered these young disciples. He saw the enthusiasm and desire for cultivation in the eyes of these disciples, just like himself in the past. He encouraged them to persevere and not be stopped by difficulties.

When he finally came to the edge of the mysterious land, he felt an ancient and mysterious breath. The space here seemed to be distorted, and the surrounding scene was like a dream. Wang Lu stepped into this mysterious land carefully. He knew that there might be great dangers hidden here, but there were also endless opportunities. His figure gradually disappeared in the mist of the mysterious land, and his legend continued to be written.

As he went deeper into the mysterious land, he encountered more and more dangers. There are ancient forbidden traps here, and you will be trapped if you are not careful. There are also some ferocious fairy beasts, which are powerful and hostile to intruders. Wang Lu relied on his wisdom and strength to escape danger again and again.

In a battle with fairy beasts, he encountered a huge thunder unicorn. The thunder unicorn exuded the power of thunder and lightning, and each attack was accompanied by a strong electric current. Wang Lu and the thunder unicorn fought fiercely in the air. He exerted all his skills, and the Yanyang Sword collided with the thunder and lightning, emitting a dazzling light. During the battle, Wang Lu discovered that the thunder and lightning power of the thunder unicorn had a weakness, that is, when it gathered strength to launch the strongest attack, the thunder and lightning core would be briefly exposed.

Wang Lu saw this opportunity and rushed to the thunder unicorn at the risk of being hit by thunder and lightning. He used all his strength to stab the Yanyang Sword into the thunder and lightning core. The thunder unicorn roared, and the powerful thunder and lightning power burst out. Wang Lu was shaken away, but he successfully hit the thunder unicorn's vitals. The thunder unicorn was seriously injured and turned to escape. Although Wang Lu was also seriously injured, he found a thunder spirit bead in the lair of the Thunder Kirin. This thunder spirit bead contained pure thunder and lightning power, which was of great help to his cultivation.

He continued to explore in the mysterious land, constantly discovering some precious cultivation resources and ancient relics. In one of the relics, he found some records about the ancient immortal methods, which were extremely profound and gave him a new understanding of the great way of heaven and earth. He began to practice in seclusion in the ruins, trying to comprehend these ancient immortal methods.

During the practice, the outside world's attention to him did not stop. The Yanyang Family, the Star Chamber of Commerce and other forces are waiting for him to appear again. They all hope to occupy a place in Wang Lu's growth process, because they all know that a genius like Wang Lu will surely set off greater waves in the fairy world in the future.

And Wang Lu continued to improve himself in the mysterious land and move towards a higher realm. His legendary story continued in this mysterious land, waiting to be passed on by more people.
