Script of Reincarnation

Just like that, two more years passed by in a flurry.

For Lu Yang, these two years were perhaps the most peaceful years of his life.

He no longer spent most of his time cultivating, instead, he would accompany Bai Qinglan and spend time with Lu Qingxue.

The little girl had also grown considerably during these two years.

She was no longer the tiny infant who could only sleep, cry, and grasp people’s fingers.

She had learned to walk and even run around.

And after learning to run, she seemed to have discovered an entirely new world, and the entire Lu Family became her playground.

Every day, the little girl would run around the clan, occasionally disappearing from her courtyard and forcing the maid responsible for watching her to chase after her.

The maid assigned to Lu Qingxue was already in the later stages of Body Tempering Realm. Her cultivation was more than enough to protect an ordinary child.

However, protecting Lu Qingxue was not the difficult part, but catching her was.

”Young Miss, slow down!”

The maid hurriedly chased after the little girl.

Lu Qingxue turned her head and giggled, her tiny legs moving even faster.

”Catch me!”

The maid could only smile bitterly at this.

Although Lu Qingxue was only two years old, her physical strength was already considerably greater than that of an ordinary child.

After all, she was the daughter of two Spirit Awakening Realm powerhouses, one of whom possessed extraordinary talent himself.

On top of that, her body had been nourished by medicinal baths and herbs since birth, and even without deliberately cultivating, her physical foundation was already extraordinary.

Fortunately, Lu Qingxue did not possess any particularly destructive abilities yet, otherwise, the maid would probably have had an even harder time.

Sometimes, Lu Yang would watch from a distance with a smile.

He had long since become accustomed to the little girl’s antics.

Compared to cultivation, these ordinary moments gave him a strange sense of satisfaction.

...

At the age of seventy-two, Lu Yang finally broke through to the Seventh Stage of Spirit Awakening Realm.

The moment the breakthrough occurred, Blood Qi surged through his body like a roaring tide.

His already powerful foundation became even more solid, while his Divine Sense expanded considerably, reaching a full thirty meters of range.

Lu Yang sat inside his cultivation chamber, feeling the changes within his body.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, a faint light flashing through them.

Although only one minor realm separated the Sixth Stage of Spirit Awakening Realm from the Seventh Stage of Spirit Awakening Realm, the difference was considerable.

At this level, Lu Yang could clearly feel that his control over his internal body and Blood Qi had improved much more than any previous breakthrough, and his physical body had also become stronger.

Most importantly, his Divine Sense had undergone a major transformation.

Previously, before the Fourth Stage of Spirit Awakening Realm, he couldn’t completely bypass physical obstructions to see with Divine Sense, and even after entering the middle stages of Spirit Awakening Realm, there was still some obstruction.

But now, the obstruction from mortal physical objects could be completely ignored by him, allowing him to perfectly see through walls and the likes using Divine Sense.

Lu Yang estimated that among the Spirit Awakening cultivators he knew about in Canglan Prefecture, aside from the True Martial Sect, only a handful could surpass his current strength.

Perhaps only those at the Eighth Stage of Spirit Awakening Realm or above could truly suppress him with ease.

As for ordinary Seventh Stage Spirit Awakening cultivators, Lu Yang was confident that he could fight them without fear.

After several weeks, he finally stabilized his cultivation completely and left his cultivation chamber.

His destination was naturally the Internal Affairs Hall, to record his breakthrough.

However, when he arrived, he suddenly remembered something.

The Internal Affairs Grand Elder had retired the previous year.

The old man had already reached an advanced age, and after decades of managing the countless affairs of the clan, he had finally decided to hand over his responsibilities.

The Second Elder had subsequently taken over the position after breaking through to the Fourth Stage of Spirit Awakening Realm.

As a result, Lu Yang’s position within the Lu Family had changed, and he was now the Third Elder.

Of course, this position had never been particularly important to Lu Yang.

Just a day after his visit to the Internal Affairs Hall, a clan meeting was held, and Lu Yang also attended.

From that day onward, Lu Yang was officially titled the Supreme Elder of the Lu Family.

The news spread astonishingly quickly, and within three days, practically all the Spirit Awakening Realm forces in Canglan Prefecture City had learned about it.

Lu Yang had broken through to the Seventh Stage of Spirit Awakening Realm, and the Lu Family had gained another Supreme Elder.

More importantly, this powerhouse was the same Lu Yang, that prodigy who had already possessed a reputation throughout Canglan Prefecture.

For a time, the name of the Lu Family became even more prominent.

Some forces that had previously maintained an equal relationship with the Lu Family began treating them with greater caution.

After all, a Seventh Stage Spirit Awakening cultivator was already a top tier existence beneath the Essence Gathering Realm, and Lu Yang was not an ordinary Seventh Stage Spirit Awakening cultivator.

His battle achievements from his younger years had long since spread, so nobody treated him as an ordinary cultivator of the same level.

On the same day Lu Yang became Supreme Elder, Lu Tianhe summoned him again.

This time, however, there was only one matter.

...

In the Lu Family’s treasury.

Inside the deepest part of the treasury were several special weapons, and Lu Tianhe personally brought Lu Yang there alongside the Seventh Elder

”These are the four Low-Rank Mysterious Artifacts of our Lu Family.”

Lu Yang looked forward.

Four weapons quietly rested within special containers, among which was a sword, a pair of gauntlets, a saber, and a set of inner armor.

Lu Yang’s gaze swept across them, a faint curiosity flickering within his eyes.

These were Artifacts.

Unlike ordinary weapons, Artifacts were made using special materials and treasures, often possessing unique properties.

As far as Lu Yang knew, they were divided into Mortal, Mysterious, Earth, and Heaven Grades.

Mortal Artifacts were further divided into Hundred-Forged, Thousand-Forged, and Ten Thousand-Forged, generally used by Body Tempering cultivators.

Above Mortal Grade were Mysterious, Earth, and Heaven Grade Artifacts.

Each grade above Mortal Grade was divided into Low-Rank, Mid-Rank, and High-Rank, unlike the Mortal Grade.

A Low-Rank Mysterious Artifact corresponded to the Spirit Awakening Realm.

A Spirit Awakening cultivator possessing such an Artifact could generally suppress another cultivator of the same realm who did not possess one.

Of course, this depended on the Artifact itself and the cultivator using it.

An Artifact was ultimately only an external object. A weak cultivator could not become invincible merely by holding a powerful weapon.

Still, its importance could not be denied.

The Lu Family had existed for more than two hundred years, yet even after all these years, they only possessed four Low-Rank Mysterious Artifacts.

Two of them had actually been acquired during Lu Yang’s lifetime.

The reason was simple: an Artifact Craftsman capable of forging Low-Rank Mysterious Artifacts had finally appeared among this generation of the Lu Family, and that person was the current Seventh Elder.

It was precisely because of his existence that the Lu Family had gradually accumulated more Mysterious Artifacts.

Lu Yang walked towards the weapons.

He first picked up the saber, weighing it in his hand before shaking his head.

He had not cultivated saber type martial techniques or combat arts; using this weapon would not allow him to display his full strength.

The same applied to the gauntlets.

His fist and palm techniques had not reached the later stages of Spirit Awakening Realm either, simply because there were no fist or palm martial techniques and combat arts at the later stages of Spirit Awakening Realm in the Lu Family.

Otherwise, he would have surely chosen the gauntlets.

As for the inner armor, its defensive capabilities were certainly impressive, but Lu Yang preferred offense.

In his current realm, killing an opponent quickly was often more important than enduring a few additional attacks.

His gaze finally landed on the sword.

It was dark gray, without any particularly dazzling appearance, however, when Lu Yang reached out and grasped its hilt, he immediately felt a faint chill.

The Seventh Elder explained from the side.

”This sword was forged using Profound Iron as its primary material, and as a Low-Rank Mysterious Artifact, its sharpness is extraordinary, and it can cut through Black Iron like butter.”

Lu Yang nodded, slowly drawing the sword.

The sword itself was not particularly heavy for the current him, feeling perfectly balanced in his hand.

Lu Yang lightly swung it.

Whoosh!

A faint sword wind appeared.

His eyes gradually brightened.

”This one.”

He had no hesitation.

The choice was obvious.

Among the four weapons, this sword was the one most compatible with him.

The Lu Family possessed a late-stage Spirit Awakening Realm movement technique and sword technique.

His other martial arts had not reached the later stages of Spirit Awakening Realm.

Therefore, if he wanted to display his greatest combat strength, the sword was naturally the best choice.

Lu Tianhe nodded.

”Then it belongs to you.”

Lu Yang held the sword and smiled faintly.

”Thank you, Family Head.”

He looked at the weapon in his hand.

For decades, he had relied mostly on his own cultivation and martial techniques.

Now, he finally possessed a genuine Mysterious Artifact.

A Low-Rank Mysterious Artifact.

In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, this was already an extremely precious treasure.

Lu Yang lightly stroked the sword.

He did not know what kind of battles awaited him in the future.

But with his cultivation now reaching the Seventh Stage of Spirit Awakening Realm, his path had undoubtedly entered another stage.

He had once thought that reaching the late stages of Spirit Awakening Realm would be enough.

Now, he had already surpassed that boundary.

The next goal was obvious.

Essence Gathering Realm.

Lu Yang’s gaze became deep.

He was already seventy-two years old.

For an ordinary mortal, this would be an age approaching the end of life.

For a Spirit Awakening cultivator, however, it was still far from the end.

And for Lu Yang, who had lived three lifetimes, seventy-two years was merely another Chapter.

He tightened his grip on the sword.

The road ahead was still long.

There was no reason to stop now.
