In the secret realm showdown, Lu Qingxuan and her fellow Lu Family disciples, including Qin Yi and Lu Chensha, fiercely battled a False Core elder wielding his life-bound magic treasure, the Sea Anker fishing rod, which unleashed oppressive blue brilliance to bind and overwhelm them. Despite the elder's power, the Lu cultivators countered with thunderous techniques like the Urgent Thunder Qilin Diagram and coordinated attacks, holding their ground. Meanwhile, Lu Xuanqian suppressed his opponent with the Five Elements Primordial Wheel, while Lu Linghe overwhelmed hers with her array of spiritual artifacts. As the elder proposed calling off the fight, Lu Wangshu arrived and demanded he surrender all his gains, igniting his fury and escalating the tension.

Lu Wangshu cast a quick look at Lu Lingxiao next to him, lifting his chin a bit to gesture for him to step forward.

"..."

Although Lu Lingxiao felt wordless about Lu Wangshu's way of issuing orders like that, he had grown used to it through the long years.

A Vermilion Bird Seal materialized over his head, after which he soared forth resembling a Vermilion Bird Divine Bird, powerfully assaulting the False Core Elder.

"Sister-in-law, Qingxuan, Qingyan... You don't have to get involved, simply observe and support the array."

Right then, Lu Wangshu sent a voice transmission to Lu Qingxuan and the rest, suggesting they merely watch the fight.

"Hmm?"

Lu Qingxuan noticed Lu Lingxiao enveloped in crimson clouds all over, narrowing his eyes slightly as he immediately sensed something unusual.

Not just him, Lu Linghe too identified their sibling upon spotting the golden radiance in Lu Lingxiao’s gaze and the flames slowly igniting across his form.

Qin Yi alone appeared a touch dazed, failing to grasp Lu Wangshu’s plan.

Why allow a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like Lu Lingxiao to confront a False Core Immortal!

Even within the Heavenly Sword Sect, instances of Foundation Establishment cultivators taking on False Core ones were rare indeed.

Yet Lu Wangshu approached her, extended a hand to hurl Lu Linghe’s foe away, and signaled that she should simply spectate the clash obediently.

"Alright, alright!"

The False Core Elder’s fury intensified upon witnessing Lu Lingxiao enter the fray, while Qin Yi, Lu Qingxuan, and the others pulled back to the side to watch the array.

Understanding that Lu Wangshu and the Lu Family disciples before him weren’t regarding him with any respect, it struck him as an outright insult, treating him as a practice dummy to hone their abilities!

In that moment, he resolved to stop restraining himself, ready to deliver a harsh lesson to these youngsters.

The fishing rod magical treasure gleamed with spirit light, drawing in boundless azure splendor, as the fishing line surged toward Lu Lingxiao akin to a raging flood dragon.

Despite being merely a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Lu Lingxiao’s presence showed no weakness compared to the False Core Elder ahead, actually exceeding it. His form was bathed in blazing light laced with electric sparks, before he unleashed a punch.

"Screech!"

A Vermilion Bird Firebird collided with the oncoming flood dragon, unleashing a fearsome wave of mana.

However, depending solely on the Vermilion Bird Seal, he couldn’t rival the elder armed with a magical treasure.

Mana erupted from his body in an unstoppable torrent, with golden hues radiating from his Qi Ocean Core, followed by the emergence of a Dark Gold Treasure Tree wreathed in fiery vines.

It was truly his magical treasure [Golden Fire Vine Tree]!

Lu Lingxiao seized the Golden Fire Vine Tree, his aura climbing even higher, then abruptly swept it ahead, the scorching and overbearing energy shattering the azure flood dragon.

Disregarding the immense, mountain-like pressure from the fishing rod, he barreled toward the False Core Elder like a beastly humanoid fiend, boldly whipping up a fierce wind layer as he pressed his assault, releasing a potent Qi and Blood Magical Power aura.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Lu Lingxiao brandished the Golden Fire Vine Tree like a golden-bodied armament, bolstered by his Foundation Establishment Peak mana and Second-Rank physique, swinging it with savage force.

Suddenly, a brilliant, eye-searing blaze flooded the False Core Elder’s vision.

"Crack!"

At that instant, the elder’s Body-Protecting Magic Barrier trembled violently, its spirit light fading swiftly at an alarming rate, soon covered in thick fissures as though on the verge of dissolving.

"This!"

Horror etched the False Core Elder’s face, as if a specter had appeared before him.

Should he face an assault from a Nascent Soul Immortal or another False Core cultivator, his barrier breaking would seem ordinary.

Or if struck by a Third Rank attack talisman or a supreme talisman treasure, that too would make sense.

But the Lu Lingxiao confronting him, though cloaked in red clouds, bore an unmistakable Foundation Establishment Peak magic aura.

A mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator had left his Qi-Blood roiling, his magic barrier fractured, his stance wobbling, forcing him to retreat through the air.

"This, this, this..."

"It’s him!"

Lu Qingxuan, Lu Qingyan, Lu Xuanqian, and the others, along with the three cultivators accompanying the False Core one who witnessed this, all displayed astonishment and felt their scalps prickle.

Repelling a False Core Immortal with one blow at Foundation Establishment—that marked a prodigy of the era!

Even as Lu Qingxuan, Lu Qingyan, Lu Xuanqian, and their group ranked among the top talents of their generation, they remained utterly amazed.

"Has Lingxiao reached such heights already?"

Lu Qingxuan had long identified Lu Lingxiao, verifying it completely via his [Golden Fire Vine Tree] magical treasure.

Observing the other’s prowess and realizing he had far outpaced him without notice, a wave of complex feelings washed over his heart.

"Foundation Establishment defies False Core!"

Though stunned, Lu Xuanqian set Lu Lingxiao as his aspiration.

With his Five Elements Physique, his mother Wang Yanjing had always demanded he dominate at his level and leap ranks in battle.

The reality showed he hadn’t let her down.

Still, when it came to the incredible feat of Foundation Establishment clashing against False Core, he harbored some doubts.

After all, around Bi Lake Mountain, a Foundation Establishment was viewed as an elder, whereas a False Core Immortal represented a superior tier.

Influenced by this, he instinctively held a certain reverence for False Core Immortals, believing it exceedingly difficult for Foundation Establishment to challenge them.

But now, beholding Lu Lingxiao drive back a False Core with a single strike, a rush of ambition swelled within him, convinced he too could accomplish it one day, and he would surely confront a False Core Immortal during Foundation Establishment before pushing toward Core Formation!

"Wangshu, who is he?"

Qin Yi spotted Lu Lingxiao’s Golden Fire Vine Tree and knew him, dimly remembering an encounter during the border conflict.

To her surprise, he was now aligned with Lu Wangshu.

"Sister-in-law, you’ll learn soon enough."

A sly smile tugged at Lu Wangshu’s lips, her expression playful.

Nearby, Lu Linghe promptly tried to clarify for Qin Yi and root for her brother, but Lu Wangshu muffled her, leaving her to mutter incoherently.

As she watched the two sisters playfully interfere with one another, Qin Yi couldn’t resist wondering if this figure might be Lu Wangshu’s chosen Dao Companion?

A prodigy of the age who could battle a False Core Immortal at Foundation Establishment would surely suit this Lu Family’s radiant moon.
