Chapter 248: Disappearance of Lu Xuan’s Father, and His Subsequent Fury

Chapter 248: Disappearance of Lu Xuan’s Father, and His Subsequent Fury

Lu Xuan became capable of a lot of things that he had not been able to do before breaking into the Celestial Realm.

That included extending his spirit and will into the ring.

While he had the Black Tortoise’s Protection back in his past life, he hardly knew much regarding its secrets.

That ring had been one of the last resorts the Dragon relied on to keep himself alive back then, and there were few throughout the world capable of cornering the Dragon to such an extent. As such, there were few who actually knew much about the ring.

The ring reacted right away when Lu Xuan extended his Spiritual Qi into the ring, which continued to emanate a faint glow.

He was able to learn more about the ring’s true nature through those reactions alone.

The ring was a piece meant for protection and defense.

Imbuing it with ample Spiritual Qi would yield a spell, which was called the “Black Tortoise’s Protection.”

It was also how the ring itself got its name.

The power of the ring’s protection was mainly determined by the user’s own level of powers, as well as how well the ring was restored.

The more powerful one was, the greater the protection yielded from the ring became.

Lu Xuan’s current level of power was sufficient to restore the ring to its first stage, which was a stage when it first became truly useful.

While the first stage did not seem to be much, according to his assessment, the protection offered would be able to last for over half an hour. Within that half hour, the enemy could literally carpet-bomb him, and still, none of that would be enough to shake the shielding provided by the Black Tortoise’s Protection.

One could say that the spell known as the “Black Tortoise’s Protection” would be able to greatly compensate for Lu Xuan’s current lack of defensive measures.

“Celestials might be far more than mere mortals, but we’re still beings of flesh and blood.”

Lu Xuan came to miss the true invincibility he enjoyed back in his past life.

As someone with an inborn Taoist aptitude, the more advanced the stages of cultivation he reached, the greater his godlike feats became.

His feats had even gotten to the point that he did not even need to rely on power items anymore, for his pair of fists alone were more than enough to take on the world.

One-punch Celestial Lord, eh?

However, at his current stage, he still needed to rely on power items.

“I’ll be taking this,” Lu Xuan said as he put the ring on his finger.

“But other than that, I need the Special Task Force to provide me with 10,000 spirit stones. I need to get on with restoring this Black Tortoise Ring,” Lu Xuan continued. He gave the ring a new name along the way—the Black Tortoise Ring.

“10,000 pieces?”

The Dragon’s face twitched somewhat. The planet’s spirit qi restoration was still limited at the moment. The Special Task Force, even with its uncanny ability at collecting goods of all kinds, would not be able to fetch that many within a month.

While the Special Task Force looked to be a seriously loaded organization, all that wealth had been accumulated throughout the years.

The Dragon came to wonder just how formidable that Black Tortoise Ring that Lu Xuan took away actually was, due to it requiring 10,000 spirit stones for restoration alone.

There had never been something like in the Special Task Force’s arsenal of power items at present.

However, if he were to know that all of that was but the requirement for restoring the ring at the first stage, his eyes would have probably fallen out of their sockets.

But then again, the Dragon gathered the 10,000 stones that Lu Xuan requested before long. Lu Xuan deserved that much for handing them Count Dracula’s dead body, after all.

Lu Xuan was not worried about the Special Task Force stealing under his nose, for they had not the guts nor the power to do so.

The Count alone was more than enough to send the entire organization into a panic, and Lu Xuan had proven to be far powerful than the Count.

Nobody would have dared to steal from the likes of him.

Lu Xuan laid down a formation for shutting out sensory perception in a secret room, which specifically prepared by the Special Task Force, before he began to work on the ring’s restoration.

He activated the True Chant of Relic Manipulation while absorbing the spirit qi from the stones. The stones crumbled in the air one after another as the spirit qi harbored within was siphoned into the ring, which gradually regained its radiance.

Time passed, and the ring’s radiance grew increasingly prominent. Energy fluctuations from the ring became increasingly apparent as well.

Despite Lu Xuan’s power, restoring the Black Tortoise Ring proved to be anything but simple, which was different from the case with the Coiling Dragon Ring.

The Coiling Dragon Ring could be fed with Spiritual Qi day and night, which made the space within gradually grow.

Things were different with the Black Tortoise Ring, as there were only two states to it—on or off, useful or useless—and he needed to at least restore it to the first stage in order to be able to use it.

The ring would have been dead weight otherwise.

The Black Tortoise Ring was finally restored to its useful state when Lu Xuan exhausted the spirit qi from those 10,000 pieces.

The process took him ten days.

“Cultivation knows no time. Ten days passed before I knew it, eh.”

Lu Xuan lamented as a black tortoise vaguely appeared around him. It was but a vague projection of the ring’s powers.

The projection disappeared without a trace in the very next moment.

Lu Xuan’s safety was solidified with the Black Tortoise firmly in his grasp. The ring was restored to its first stage within that ten days, making it finally useful at earlier stages.

Charging was complete as well, enabling the spell to be used once.

However, further restoration would be time-consuming, nonetheless. It was just like the case of the Coiling Dragon Ring.

The Dragon rushed to Lu Xuan at that moment.

“Your father is in danger,” the Dragon said.

Lu Xuan was stunned for a bit, but when he recovered, he burst with terrifying killing intent.

The Dragon felt as if the man before him was no longer a human but a god walking among mortals.

The wrath of monarchs would result in corpses strewn over thousands of miles.

The wrath of gods would bring the world to its end.

The part about ‘bringing the world to its end’ was not figurative speech, but cold hard truth.

That was what the Dragon was feeling at the moment.

He had no idea just how Lu Xuan was able to bring about an aura so frighteningly intimidating. Lu Xuan, at the moment, looked like he was able to end the world with little more than a thought.

He had no idea just how Lu Xuan was able to burst with killing intent that was so frightening. He only knew one thing—Lu Xuan was truly pissed off.

“Alright, then. It seems like someone out there has yet to learn their place,” Lu Xuan said coldly.

The news that the Dragon brought was about the disappearance of Lu Xuan’s father.

Nothing would have happened to his father if he had stayed in the Yunxuan Villa, but when his father left the villa, there were a lot of people who could pose a threat to the man, despite him being of Deity Level cultivation.

But then again, thanks to all those techniques that Lu Xuan imparted to his father, his father would have been able to bail in one piece even if he were to run into an Invincible Vajra.

As such, there was only one possibility regarding his father’s disappearance without a trace—a Celestial had made a move on him.
