Chapter 936: Celebration
Qi Refinement let out ear-piercing screams. Had they been given enough time, or a couple of suitable magical artifacts, they could have easily blocked these spells. 。However, casting speed alone is...Before, because I was only at the Golden Core stage, cultivating this Demonic Suppressing Tower was merely scratching the surface. I couldn't truly experience most of its functions and could only make some guesses. Now, with my cultivation reaching the Nascent Soul stage, both my mana and soul have undergone a qualitative change in quantity and quality. My understanding of heaven and earth, as well as my use of mana, has reached a new level.
At this time, as Lu Xia Tian delved deeper into the cultivation methods of these traveling monks, he realized that his understanding of this technique during his Jindan stage was merely superficial.
The Seventh-Rank Pagoda is divided into The Vajra Body Pagoda, The Vajra Seal Pagoda, The Demon Subduing Mantra Pagoda, The Black Heaven Supreme Pagoda, The Universal Ming Wang Pagoda, The Fighting Monk Pagoda, and The Light Honored One Pagoda. Each pagoda has seven levels, with a demon-subduing tower at the top. Upon reaching the seventh level, one can acquire a Buddha Dao divine ability. Only those with great determination and courage can achieve success. When Lu Xia Tian was in the Golden Core stage, he could only use the Demon-Subduing Tower to hit people or suppress enemies with the energy it possessed.
Now, activating the Demon Suppressing Tower and entering it is considered using the power of the Pagoda. Currently, Lu Xia Tian can only use the power of the first layer of the Demon Suppressing Tower, a single pagoda. Cultivating to its peak seventh level is a seven-level pagoda. Using all seven Demon Suppressing Towers simultaneously is also a seven-level pagoda. This one method has many uses, constantly changing and evolving.
Lu Xia Tian's mind moved, and the seven Town Demon Towers emitted an ancient silvery-gray light, appearing understated yet grand. Under his divine sense control, the towers enlarged and shrunk, sometimes forming a pair of horns or a three talents formation, constantly flipping until finally all seven towers emerged, forming a seven-tiered pagoda. A vast and mighty force rippled outwards, affecting an area of dozens of miles around Qingyue Peak. Many cultivators looked in the direction of Qingyue Peak with fear and trepidation.
Lu Xia Tian's heart was filled with surprise. No wonder those old monsters, Chen He Nian and the others, chose to live in the restricted area of Lingxiao Palace. The commotion caused by a Yuan Ying cultivator during their cultivation was considerable. A slight misstep could affect many areas. It was inevitable that it would impact lower-level cultivators.
It seems I took things for granted. Although Lu Xia Tian is more at ease staying in his Qingyue Peak, if it affects other lower-ranked cultivators, it would be a bit unkind. Fortunately, now that he's reached the Yuan Ying realm, it only takes a few breaths to travel from Qingyue Peak to the restricted area.
Outside the cave, Luo Kang and the others had already dispersed. A figure dashed through the air at an astonishing speed, so fast that few in Lingxiao Palace could see clearly.
For several days, in the restricted area of Lingxiao Palace, a azure figure stood there. Occasionally, solemn and majestic pagodas or one, or two, like heavenly seals, would crash down from the sky.
By the time he reached the end, Lü Xia Tian had left a secondary divine soul to control the鎮妖塔, mastering the techniques of manipulating this spirit tool. His main divine soul had already immersed itself within the 悟劍石碑.

Several days later, the Lingxiao Palace was bustling with guests. Although it was a time of war against the Ghost Clan, each faction had suffered considerable losses. Now, with the Ghost Clan launching a full-scale invasion, all major immortal sects needed to use some means to boost morale. Some offered rewards in the form of scarce spirit stones, or perhaps elixirs they had managed to accumulate over this period.
Of course, the most morale-boosting thing was the addition of new Nascent Soul cultivators. Facing the increasingly ferocious Ghost Clan, the sudden appearance of a Nascent Soul ancestor within the sect naturally allowed most cultivators to feel more at ease.
"Lu Xiaodai, are you available" As more guests from various factions arrived, Chen He Nian saw that Lu Xia Tian was so engrossed in his cultivation that he didn't disturb him. After all, solidifying his current realm was the most important thing for Lu Xia Tian right now.
However, what was coming next were powerful major sects. It wouldn't be appropriate for Lu Xia Tian to stay out of sight. After all, these people were here to celebrate Lu Xia Tian's success, and the host avoiding them would be a laughingstock. He sent several sound transmissions, but Lu Xia Tian didn't reply. Chen He Nian frowned and could only come to this restricted area himself. On that tall pine branch, Lu Xia Tian stood on top of the precarious pine tree, motionless.
"Chen Henyuan..." Just as Chen Heryuan was about to finish his sentence, Lu Xiaoteng made a gesture with his hand. A three-foot long transparent sword light, shimmering with a vibrant and ethereal aura, shot out from the void like a beam of light, landing in his palm, flickering erratically.
Chen He Nian was startled. The sword strike came out of nowhere, so fast that even with his centuries of cultivation as a Nascent Soul, he might not have been able to dodge it. He had to use all his skill to deflect it. He had been a Nascent Soul for hundreds of years, while Lu Xiao Tian had only cultivated for a few days at most. Though Chen He Nian knew that Lu Xiao Tian was proficient in swordsmanship based on his Nascent Soul cultivation, it still took time to hone one's skills. That strike from Lu Xiao Tian truly surprised him.
"Could it be that Junior Brother Lu just had a sudden enlightenment Damn it, I should have postponed this celebration for a while."
The opportunity for enlightenment is rare for cultivators. Every time one has an epiphany, their strength will improve significantly. Thinking that he might have interrupted Lu Xiaodao's enlightenment, Chen He year felt a pang of regret, realizing that he had been too hasty. Although holding the celebration early would have some positive effects on Lingxiao Palace's reputation sooner, if it caused Lu Xiaodao to fall behind in his cultivation, it would be a terrible loss.
“But the ceremony has already begun” Lu Xia Tian realized that kind of sword intent that felt like it came from outside the heavens. He opened his eyes and looked at Chen Hè Nian beside him.
“It’s begun, and the powerful sects from behind will be here soon.” Chen He Nian nodded and said with a hint of annoyance, “If I had known this, I shouldn’t have been so eager.”
"It's fine, I've grasped it about enough."
Lu Xia Tian smiled when he heard this. Although he was slightly disturbed, it was indeed nearing its end. This sword technique was from the second layer of the "Piao Miao Jian Jue," coming as swiftly and unpredictably as a celestial visitor. Just like when the Floating Pagoda monk's body suddenly awakened within the Piao Miao Hall, with a single stroke of the Piao Miao Sword Embryo piercing the void, it came from the west with the force of a divine hand.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“That's good then.” Chen He Nian let out a breath of relief.

“Grandmaster Yu Xinggong, Grandmaster Yuan Ying, and Star River Immortal have arrived!” At the Spirit Heaven Palace gates, the cultivator responsible for welcoming guests announced the arrival of these esteemed visitors. Though among Nascent Soul cultivators, they are called Star River Demon, in this formal occasion, calling him demon is rather inappropriate.
"Crane-year Daoist friend, I have many things on my side. Hearing that Lu Daoist friend succeeded in forming an infant soul, I rushed over as quickly as I could. Now that even people are nowhere to be seen here, it's not hospitable at all."
Over there, Lei Wantian was personally in charge of welcoming them. Xing He Laogai had already arrived by teleporting, but he didn't see Chen He Nian and Lu Xia Tian. He couldn't help but complain.
"Star River friend, you are a honored guest, where would I dare to make you wait. Please come in and have a seat!" Chen He Nian quickly greeted him with a smile.
"I was a little slow, I'll get some Bai Shuang Lu from your Lingxiao Palace later. Don't wait around for decades, at least two hundred years worth, or my anger won't subside." Xing He Lao Gui said with a pretentious air.
