Chapter 213 - Breaking the Shackle and Making a Breakthrough (1/2)

The barrier had been protecting the Peach Tree of Immortality for countless years. All that stocked fine wooden qi was unleashed at that very moment.

Lu Xuan activated his Taixu Origin Power and began to absorb all that qi in a frenzy.

He called Lu Shanshan and the others to come over and absorb all that qi as well.

All that qi that was stocked for an untold number of years was finally exhausted about half an hour later, dissipating into the air, and the gang gathered around had only been able to absorb a fraction of it all.

“It’s a pity. We don’t really get to suck more than a fraction.”

Lu Shanshan quipped in a rather dejected manner. The wooden qi was so pure and fine that even someone at her level felt her powers deepened after absorbing all that qi.

She had not been an Invincible Vajra for long, and her level was far from being completely stabilized. However, she found her powers being completely solidified after taking in just that bit.

The changes within her in that short period of time were staggering.

In terms of fighting prowess, she came close to matching Adam and Saint Peter.

She never imagined being able to see such a shocking change in herself.

Despite having an inborn taoism aptitude, she actually had little idea just how formidable such aptitude would have been, and the amount of wooden qi that she was able to absorb was second only to her brother.

The amount taken in by Lin Miaoyi, Ming Yueyao, and the others were noticeably less when compared to the siblings.

The Dragon had completely recovered thanks to having absorbed such a staggering amount of wooden qi. The effects were so profound that he felt as if all those old, accumulated injuries from having fought for years throughout the world, were actually healed completely.

Without all those injuries holding him back, his powers grew by several folds as well.

His recovery was so frightening that he was completely sure that if he were to run into the likes of Adam and Saint Peter ganging, he could have taken them on without breaking a sweat.

He might have even gotten so powerful that he could have killed both of them at once.

He had finally broken through the shackles that were holding him back.

He had Lu Xuan to thank for all of that.

Lu Xuan waved and bagged the entire tree. None of the others had anything to say about that, for if it had not been for him, they probably would have had trouble even staying alive.

“I’ll contact the East Sea Fleet right away and tell them to escort us out of here,” the Dragon said.

With the Peach Tree of Immortality being in Lu Xuan’s hand, there was no reason to stay around any longer.

However, he was aware that fleets from four, maybe even more, nations were having their guns pointed at each other. If they were to simply venture outside like that, they might have as well painted targets on their backs.

It was especially so given how many foreign cultivators had been able to make it outside. It was probably only a matter of time before the nations out there knew that Lu Xuan was the one who killed Adam, Saint Peter, and the others. Everyone would have known that it was eventually the Huaxians who bagged the tree.

Lu Xuan and the others did not even have to speculate. They knew that the very moment they got off the island, missile barrages would be fired at them.

The fleets from various countries were still wary enough of each other to begin bombing each other’s ships, but the same could not be said for the cultivators.

Any of them could have simply chalked the attack as a mistake or whatever.

They needed protection from the East Sea Fleet to successfully take the tree back to the mainland.

“Right, but too bad that the signals here are jammed. There is nothing we could do about it. We could only get in touch with the fleet once we got off the island,” Ming Yueyao commented.

Lu Shanshan and Lin Miaoyi turned their gaze at Lu Xuan instead, making it clear that he was in charge at the moment.

“You two from far away. Show yourselves. We’re considered to be of the same gang, aren’t we? Why don’t you guys just come out and greet us, eh?” Lu Xuan said all of a sudden.
