Chapter 3734: Tie

elt a warmth spreading throughout his body, an unprecedented sense of comfort and ease.At some point, the ripples in the void finally ceased. Lu Xia Tian remained seated where he had been, and still s..."So there's a treasure protecting you, no wonder you're so arrogant. It seems the Heavenly Court values you greatly." Shi Lu Xin Mo's face turned bad immediately, apparently not expecting the Heavenly Court to completely entrust such a treasure to Lu Xia Tian.

“Since you know the power of this thing, why not retreat quickly and avoid suffering when Daoist Lu Xia Tian arrives” Lu Xiao Tian cautiously warned while on guard.

"The Dragon Soul Armor, coupled with this Gan Feng Five Spirit Diagram, even a casual Golden Immortal's avatar would find it difficult to harm you. However, this demon is determined to give it a try." The Eschaton Heart Demon's avatar chuckled, and his entire body turned into black-gray smoke that merged with the surrounding environment.

At any given time, Lu Xia Tian's eyes would be met with various scenes. He'd be seen tending to the furnace, refining pills, and the fragrance of medicinal herbs rising from within the cauldron. Then, suddenly, the cauldron would explode, the almost-finished pills scattering alongside a pungent burnt smell. The anticipation of success, followed by the crushing disappointment, would wash over him in waves.

Immediately, birdsong filled the air as a group of beautiful women in light gauze dresses appeared around Lu Xia Tian, gracefully dancing and sending him flirtatious glances.

Or perhaps a woman of exquisite elegance, gently caressing a long zither...

In the illusion, Lu Xia Tian seemed to transform into a commander who ruled over countless immortal armies. He commanded the immortal armies to fight in all directions, subduing demons and rebellious forces....

Alternatively, Lu Xia Tian constantly participated in various competitions, earning a large amount of Xianjing through them, and so on.

Lu Xiaotiao understood the power of these illusions. He kept his mind focused, not out of fear that the illusions would lead him astray. In fact, what he was facing was merely a clone of the Erosion and Devour Heart Demon. The opponent saw that Lu Xiaotiao possessed both the Dragon Soul Battle Armor and had reached such an astonishing level of control over the Ganfeng Wuling Diagram. At this moment, Lu Xiaotiao had become well-rounded in offense and defense. With just magic combat, the Erosion and Devour Heart Demon, even with a single clone, probably wouldn't be able to defeat him.

However, for the Devouring Heart Demon, its most powerful means were not just through fighting with people, but also that powerful heart demon. It released various aspects of human life, such as beauty, wealth, status, and even heavenly cultivation, successes and failures in alchemy. Using these different situations to test Lu Xia Tian, once Lu Xia Tian showed any fluctuation in his divine consciousness, the Devouring Heart Demon's methods would relentlessly pour in. It would constantly widen that small gap until it finally breached Lu Xia Tian's defenses, his heart became unguarded, and he became a piece of meat on the chopping board of the Devouring Heart Demon, at its mercy.

Even if Lu Xia Tian could react quickly enough, once he was caught by the Erosion Heart Demon's opportunity, it would be able to inflict varying degrees of injury upon him.

At this time, Lu Xia Tian's biggest problem was not how to resist the many schemes of the erosion heart demon. The biggest challenge was under the attack of various illusions from the erosion heart demon's avatar, how could he prevent his Yuanshen's secrets from being revealed

Even if Shīlù Xīnmó was not a member of the Hónghào Heavenly Court, upon learning that Lú Xiǎotiān was merely a Xuanxian realm cultivator yet possessed a primordial spirit nearly approaching the Jinxian realm, he would find it hard to comprehend. He would most likely develop a greater interest in Lú Xiǎotiān. After all, for Shīlù Xīnmó, knowing the secret to raising one's primordial spirit to a higher level, especially with such an astounding growth rate as Lú Xiǎotiān's, would allow him to face even powerful cultivators like Immortal Kings with equanimity. It might even cause the Immortal King to fear his power.

This illusory woman was also exceptionally beautiful and each possessed a unique charm. However, Lu Xia Tian had women he was familiar with, such as Dongfang Yi, Luo Ping'er, and Xiang Qingcheng, each with their own strengths. Luo Qing and Su Qing also had their own distinct qualities. It wasn't simply beauty that could cause Lu Xia Tian to lose his composure.

There were other instances of illusions that moved Lu Xiaotian, but when the erosion heart demon acted, Lu Xiaotian had already reacted in advance. Later on, Lu Xiaotian clasped his hands together in a Buddhist seal, and circles of Buddha light transformed behind him. Illusions appeared one after another in the depths of Lu Xiaotian's consciousness sea. However, it was as if they were appearing in a vast expanse of emptiness, without causing any ripples.

"The Buddhist sect's techniques seem to have long been lost to the Mahayana Buddhism. You, a Dan Saint, are able to cultivate these bald donkeys' lineage to this level. It is indeed rare." The Shi Lu Xin Mo avatar chuckled.

But soon the Heart Demon's clone shook his head secretly, finding it unexpected that when mentioning Mahāyāna Buddhism, Lu Xiaoteng's state of mind remained completely unmoved, without revealing any loophole for him to exploit.

Here is your response:

He's really a stone in the latrine, both smelly and hard! Xi Lu Xin Mo's split personality cursed inwardly, but he had to admit that despite Lu Xia Tian's low realm, his Dao heart was surprisingly solid, even exceeding most immortals he had encountered. With such a state of mind and comprehension, coupled with ample cultivation resources, the other party's future potential was truly unpredictable.

It is not just about the cultivation on the Taoist path, but also about the improvement in strength. Such a remarkable talent has become a member of the Honghuang Heavenly Court, which is a pity!

Gan Feng, the Five Spirit Guardians, stood by his side, and Lu Xia Tian's dragon shadow swirled around him. Just as Mu Xia, Nie Tian Hou, and Shen Tu Zhan Feng returned, they saw Lin Shi Qing walking towards them.

“Welcome back, fellow cultivators. It seems my luck is holding today. Since I received Senior Rong Xu’s message, my master has sent me here every day to await your return. As soon as you are back, we will depart together immediately,” Lin Shiqing said with a smile.

"What Wasn't Brother Dongfang invited away by a senior from the School of One Dao" Shen Tu Zhanfeng said with some bewilderment.

"These days, Deputy City Lord Xue's condition has worsened. Unless there are special circumstances, the master cannot leave his side for a moment and won't go out easily." Dali Shi Qing saw the surprise on Shen Tu Zhan Feng and Nie Tian Hou's faces and was also a little puzzled.

"So what you're saying is that since the senior from the School of One Dao hasn't appeared, whoever took the Eastern side isn't a senior anymore" Mu Xia's face paled upon hearing this.

“What’s going on” Lin Shiqing felt that the situation was serious and asked in a deep voice.

“When we were first stationed in the capital city, a Daoist expert took Eastern Brother away.” Nie Tianhou said with a face full of killing intent, “Such bold demons, they actually reached into the capital city. Lin Dao friend, you immediately return and invite a Daoist expert. We will immediately mobilize the city’s immortal army to find Eastern Brother.”

"Good!" Lin Shiqing readily agreed, and then turned to leave.

Although the demonic army at Luo Yangyu was fiercely battling the immortal armies of Jiuyang City, the main city remained calm. In the eyes of most immortals, it had not been affected by the demon invasion. However, news spread that Dongfang Dansheng, who had brought glory to the Honghao Celestial Court, had been taken away by demons. This caused fear among some, and the entire immortal army of the city mobilized to search for Lu Xiaoteng who was missing.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!ng. At this moment, this space was also fraught with danger, and Lu Xiaoteng wasn't particularly interested in risking himself for these unnecessary things.Originally, Lu Xia Tian intended to meet th...
