Wang Yang did not say anything more. In truth, it was not just them. Any sect or clan with even a bit of history or lineage was laying low—all of them were hidden dragons waiting to strike.

That was because all of them knew that they sorely lacked the ability to resist the Huaxia government as they were at the moment, but things might change in the future.

As the restoration of spirit qi became more pronounced, their abilities would only grow, so much so it would have been normal for them to achieve progress by leaps and bounds in a very short period of them.

It was more than spirit qi that was being restored; there was also the case with the shackles on their abilities.

Cultivation was difficult not only because of the problem with the abundance of spirit qi, but there was also the limitation put on them by the world itself. The Soul-snatcher Sect had only been biding their time so far. The frightening progress achieved over the past several years was a sign of the world gradually removing such limitations on them.

Their more profound their cultivation had been, the more pronounced they felt about such effects.

It was due to such happenings that Tian Han had been so boastful, claiming that he would not even have to be wary of the Special Task Force if they were to just hang on for few more years. If they were to be able to get to the level of their founder, they would not have even needed to care about firearms at all.

It would be the time where they would reign supreme.

“Regardless, the kid is still a National Guardian, so he is definitely something, and we’ll definitely need to be careful,” Wang Yang said plainly. “But then again, given that he was the one who killed the young Sectmaster, we need to get rid of him regardless of who he is. People will think we’re pushovers, otherwise.”

“You’re right about that. Only by dealing with him can we could face the Sectmaster when he emerges out of isolation.” Tian Han continued, “You all can be rest assured about that. I knew someone who trained in ancient Thai martial arts in Thailand, whose powers rivaled that of mine. A good time to get him on board, and it’ll be a breeze for the three of us to take him down.”

Wang Yang then said, “In that case, bring him in at once.”

Two days quickly passed.

Lu Xuan was sitting cross-legged in a secret guest room in the Ling Clan’s estate. Spiritual Qi ebbed all over him, and smoke billowed above his head.

He opened his eyes, and there seemed to be lightning crackling within his eyes, shimmering with a terrifying sheen.

Lu Xuan gradually exhaled moments later, retracting the glow he had about him.

He had actually made the breakthrough the day before, and the breakthrough from Level Seven to Level Eight was not all that difficult for him.

It felt as if he was just going with the flow.

He had been polishing his level back at Level Seven all too well, so a breakthrough was bound to happen sooner or later.

It was due to him having suppressed his level all that while that he could not break through right away.

With the impending great battle to come, however, he no longer had the luxury to keep doing so.

Level Eight.

His prowess reached the realm of the gods.

At such a level in one’s cultivation of fighting arts, one was known to be godlike.

He had truly broken through the limitations put on him back at Level Seven National Guardian level, reaching a surreal state of being.

However, it was after getting that far that he began to vaguely sense the limitations of the world itself.

It was a shackle that had no form, one that kept him from advancing to Level Nine.

It was as if he had touched the ceiling.

Lu Xuan was no stranger to such feelings. It was the Suppression by the World told in legends.

The world had long been restored when Lu Xuan first embarked on his journey of cultivation in his past life, so he never encountered such problems, but that did not mean that he knew nothing of such concepts.

The restoration happening to the world was like a pool that was expanding. There was no way for beings exceeding the pool’s capacity to house to exist before the pool was further enlarged.

He was apparently at Level Eight Deity at his present stage.
