Postnatal Realm Seventh Stage

"Has Lu Ze gone mad? He actually killed Senior Brother Xue's maidservant."

"He's done for. When Senior Brother Xue comes out of his seclusion, he won't spare him!"

"Hmph, serves him right. Thinking he can act recklessly just because he has some strength. Little does he know that in the eyes of true geniuses, he's just an ant!"

Witnessing Lu Ze actually slaying Senior Brother Xue's maidservant with a single slap, the expressions of the disciples around became lively.

Although the white-clad maidservant wasn't a disciple of the Qiantian Sect, she was the woman of the top-ranking figure from the outer sect. She grew up with Senior Brother Xue, and their relationship was extremely profound.

And Lu Ze killed her, just like that.

Many people had already started thinking about Lu Ze's tragic fate once Senior Brother Xue emerged from seclusion.

Despite the commotion outside, Lu Ze paid no attention. After killing the maidservant, he closed the door, quickly approached a corner of the wall, and dug out a brick.

Underneath the brick appeared a black cloth bag.

Seeing the bag still there, Lu Ze's expression relaxed significantly.

In this bag were ten or so spirit stones, the cultivation resources he had accumulated over these three years.

Outer disciples of the Qiantian Sect could receive three spirit stones for cultivation every month. When Lu Ze's meridians were blocked, limiting the absorption of spiritual energy, and after experiencing extortion from Hao Hai and Ke Zhi, he hid away these spirit stones every time he received them.

Now, with his cultivation restored, it was time to make use of these spirit stones.

Lu Ze sat cross-legged, holding a spirit stone in each hand, and began to operate the "Eternal Creation Scripture" to absorb the spiritual energy.

Upon the spirit stones, surging Spirit Power flowed into Lu Ze's body like waves in a great river, washing over his flesh and consciousness.

Vaguely, a sense of indescribable comfort emerged from the depths of his body, making Lu Ze incredibly delighted.

But this comfort came fast and disappeared just as quickly.

Opening his eyes in confusion, Lu Ze found that the two spirit stones in his hands had been absorbed completely in less than half an incense stick's time.

This discovery left Lu Ze secretly amazed, finding it inconceivable.

These two spirit stones, though they are low-grade spirit stones, are enough for a cultivator in the Postnatal Realm to practice for a whole day. Now, not even half an incense stick's time has passed, and they've been completely absorbed by him like this?

Could it be because of the "Eternal Creation Scripture"?

Lu Ze furrowed his brows, considering that it might indeed be related to the "Eternal Creation Scripture." When he returned earlier, he still had some injuries, but now they had unknowingly healed. Apart from the "Eternal Creation Scripture," he couldn't think of anything else special about his body.

"I must not let this technique be known to others!"

Lu Ze silently vowed. In the three years at Qiantian Sect, he had already witnessed the cruelty of the cultivation world, understanding the principle that the weak would be preyed upon.

Without sufficient strength, if people were to know about this cultivation technique, he would be no doubt a dead man.

With this in mind, Lu Ze became even more determined to become stronger.

Subsequently, he swallowed all the cultivation pills obtained from Hao Hai and Ke Zhi, placing their spirit stones into the cloth bag. Then he placed the bag into his chest, and with both hands inside, he continued his cultivation by extracting the spiritual energy.

For a moment, spiritual energy overflowed from the bag, continuously being absorbed by Lu Ze.

In this state, all the pores on Lu Ze's body opened up, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy dissipating from the spirit stones. He looked like a vampire absorbing blood.

As the spiritual energy became more abundant, Lu Ze's physical body also changed.

His skin became crystal clear, like jade.

His muscles became stronger, as if reinforced with steel, filled with explosive power.

His facial features became more distinct, like finely carved sculptures.

After half an hour, the spiritual energy in the room gradually subsided, and all the spirit stones in the bag had turned into waste stones.

At this moment, Lu Ze's eyes suddenly opened, and a cold light shot out, like two sharp blades.

In an instant, his entire body's aura skyrocketed, like a volcanic eruption. A powerful force surged out from every part of his body.

Inside the small room, spiritual energy formed vortexes, continuously drawing in the abundant spiritual energy.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two muffled sounds echoed from Lu Ze's body as his cultivation rapidly broke through. He advanced from the Seventh Stage of the Postnatal Realm, directly breaking through two levels to reach the Ninth Staged.

It's worth noting that not long ago, Lu Ze had just cultivated from scratch to reach the Seven Postnatal Realm. Now, in less than a day, he had broken through two stages at once.

If this news were to spread outside, countless people would be driven crazy by it. However, having witnessed the profound mysteries of the "Eternal Creation Scripture," Lu Ze's remarkable progress didn't surprise him much. He aimed to become even stronger.

"Now, with my cultivation exceeding the Fifth Postnatal Realm, I can go to the Law Pavilion to choose martial techniques!"

Afterwards, Lu Ze changed into a new set of clothes and left the room.

At Qiantian Sect, in the Law Enforcement Hall of the Commandment Peak!

A robust and stern-faced elderly man in black clothes was sitting cross-legged within the formation in the hall, absorbing the rich spiritual energy to cultivate. His whole body emitted an unmatched and imposing aura.

However, at this moment, the elderly man seemed to sense something. His eyes suddenly opened wide, and he spoke in a deep voice, "What is it? Why disturb my cultivation?"

"Please forgive me, Elder Long. I'm here to report. Two outer disciples, also talents on the Outer Sect Prodigy Ranking, Hao Hai and Ke Zhi, were killed on the disciple peak!"

A disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall kneeled outside the heavy door, lowering his head in fear as he reported.

"Interesting. Someone dares to kill disciples on our Prodigy Ranking? Can you find out who did it?"

Elder Long sneered, asking in a cold voice, a subtle killing intent mixed within his calm tone.

"Reporting to Elder, we speculate it might be an outer disciple named Lu Ze!"

The Law Enforcement disciple then reported the events related to Lu Ze, including his being heavily injured by Mu Yunyue, recovering from severe injuries, injuring a disciple at the Fifth Postnatal Realm, and killing Xue Chenyi's maid.

"So, you're saying that Lu Ze, who just broke through to the Second Postnatal Realm within three years at our Qiantian Sect, gained a tremendous increase in strength after being crippled by Mu Yunyue?"

After hearing the report, Elder Long frowned slightly, showing a hint of surprise on his face. While he didn't know who Lu Ze was, he was familiar with Mu Yunyue, a renowned beauty in the Qiantian Sect.

To be crippled by that woman in front of everyone's eyes and not die, but instead to significantly increase his strength, was truly inconceivable. Could there be some secret matter he didn't know about?

"Yes, please make a judgment, Elder!"

If it weren't for the unresolved relationship between Lu Ze and Mu Yunyue, he would have already led people to capture Lu Ze. Where would there be a need to seek guidance from Elder Long?

"For now, don't do anything. Send a few people to observe secretly. We'll wait until Xue Chenyi comes out of seclusion before deciding!"

Before long, the deep voice of Elder Long echoed from within the door.

"Yes, I understand!"

The Law Enforcement disciple acknowledged and promptly left.

"Lu Ze, Mu Yunyue..."

"Hmm, it's truly interesting. A waste at the Second Stage of the Postnatal Realm can actually kill two outer disciples and dare to slay Xue Chenyi's personal maid."

"Is this the kid's own fate, or did Mu Yunyue intentionally give him an opportunity?"

After the Law Enforcement disciple left, Elder Long muttered to himself, showing a pensive expression on his face.
