Nine Turns of Nirvana

Consciousness awakens from boundless darkness.

Lu Yu sat up from the bed with a start, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

He thought that everything that happened in the opera house was just a dream, but the Qi Hai that had disappeared told him that everything was true.

"Damn it!"

Lu Yu clenched his fist and punched the wall next to him.

Drenched with blood.

Without Qi Hai, he was just an ordinary person. Nothing happened to the wall, but his own hand was injured.

Blood trickled down from the trembling fingers drop by drop, but Lu Yu didn't feel it at all, because compared with the pain in his heart, the pain on his hand was nothing.

"Master, what are you doing!"

Suddenly a cry of surprise came.

Lu Yu raised his head and found that it was his maid Xiaozhu, running towards him in panic.

Xiaozhu carefully bandaged the injury on his hand.

Lu Yu remained silent throughout the entire process, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

Seeing him like this, Xiaozhu couldn't bear it anymore and tears silently flowed down.

"why are you crying?"

Looking at Xiaozhu's beautiful face covered with tears, Lu Yu was stunned for a moment.

"Young Master, people are saying that you molested the fiancée of Xiang Chen, the son of the county governor. Xiang Chen destroyed the Qihai Sea, and now she has become a useless person..."

"Xiang Chen's fiancée?" Lu Yu was stunned.

"That's Miss Bu Yi from the Bu family. Yesterday, the county governor's son Xiang Chen proposed to the Bu family, and the Bu family has already agreed..."

Lu Yu's body trembled, and the anger in his chest burned like a fire.

"They...really said that?"

"Yes, the Bu family and the county government together asked our Lu family for an explanation. Old Mrs. Lu even went out of her way to apologize to the Xiang and Bu families for this," Xiaozhu said in a low voice.

Lu Yu gritted his teeth and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.

Xiang Chen! Buyi!

What a couple!

Not only did he take away his Qi Hai, but he also beat him up and framed him!

In this way, not only could the Lu family not be able to ask them for an explanation, but their elderly grandfather would have to bow his head to them and apologize!

What a vicious plan!

"Master, Xiaozhu knows that you are not such a person at all. They must have wronged you..."

"But no matter how great your grievances are, you can't torture yourself. You must cheer up and never fall down..."

"You are the only hope for the third room of the Lu family. If you also fall, then the third room of the Lu family will be completely doomed..."

"Xiaozhu is going to die too..."

Xiaozhu burst into tears, his voice breaking.

Lu Yu's heart softened. His father had passed away and his mother had never even met. In such a big Lu family, the only one who truly depended on him was this little maid.

Indeed, everyone is eyeing the third member of the Lu family. If she also falls, her end will be very miserable.

"Xiaozhu, don't worry."

Lu Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and showed her a gentle smile.

"I won't give up. So what if I lose Qi Hai? The worst I can do is start all over again... As long as I, Lu Yu, still have breath, I will never fall, and neither will the third room of the Lu family!"

"Um!"

Seeing Lu Yu regain his energy, Xiaozhu cried with joy and nodded desperately.

"Master, you must be hungry after being unconscious for so long? Xiaozhu will go get you some food right now."

With that said, Xiaozhu went out.

In fact, Lu Yu was not hungry at all. His body and mind were already filled with anger and hatred, and he had no feeling of hunger at all.

Just to prevent Xiaozhu from worrying, he didn't stop her.

Lu Yu got out of bed and walked around the residence aimlessly.

This is where the Lu family's third-bedroom courtyard is located, covering an area of ​​no less than a hundred acres, with all kinds of pavilions and pavilions, all of which were created by Lu Yu's father, Lu Tianying, during his lifetime.

Although all the buildings look very magnificent and prosperous, in fact these are only superficial phenomena.

In the past, Lu Tianying was a genius in cultivation and the glory of the entire family. It was natural to have such a family business, and no one dared to object. But with the death of Lu Tianying, many fans who were attached to Mr. Lu gradually left, and the strength of the third room of the Lu family plummeted. Such a family fortune turned the third room of the Lu family into a fat sheep, attracting the covetousness of all parties.

As the saying goes, an ordinary man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade.

Isn't this the reason why Lu Yu would be plotted by Bu Yi and Xiang Chen to destroy Qi Hai and take away the Wuji Heart Pill?

And people like Bu Yi and Xiang Chen, who are plotting against me, don't know how much they are hiding secretly!

It can be said that at this time, the third family of the Lu family was in a state of turmoil.

The thoughts in Lu Yu's mind were very confusing.

Although he told Xiaozhu that he would cheer up, facing such a precarious situation, he lost his energy and became a complete useless person. What should he do next?

How should we prepare for the four-county military competition next month?

How can I keep my three-bedroom home?

How can we restore our father's glory?

…

Unknowingly, Lu Yu walked to the sword room where his father practiced martial arts during his lifetime.

The layout in the sword room is still the same as before, without any changes.

Except that its original owner is no longer here...

Looking at this familiar scene, Lu Yu couldn't help but lose consciousness for a moment, and scenes of him practicing in the room with his father when he was young appeared in front of his eyes.

The past events are still vivid in my mind, but things have changed.

Lu Yu's eyes turned red and he muttered to himself.

"Father, what would you do if it were you?"

There was silence in the sword room, without any response.

Lu Yu smiled miserably.

Of course there would be no response. His father had died in Mingjian City ten years ago, and there was no trace of his body left. It was naturally impossible for him to give him any response.

It's ridiculous that you are still like the child you were before, longing to have your father to rely on. This in itself is a sign of cowardice...

How can such a performance be worthy of being the owner of a third bedroom?

Lu Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, about to exit the room.

Suddenly, his feet slipped and he hit the bookshelf in the room.

A volume of calligraphy and painting fell from the bookshelf.

Lu Yu ignored the pain and quickly picked up the calligraphy and paintings and began to inspect them.

The things in this sword room were all things that my father cherished during his lifetime, so he naturally cherished them very much.

Fortunately, the calligraphy and painting were fine, except for a wrinkle at the corner. Lu Yu gently stroked it with his hand and smoothed it out quickly.

However, his eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the contents on the scroll.

On the scroll is a calligraphy treasure left by my father during his lifetime. There are only four characters on it: One breath is still left.

The writing is powerful and iron-clad.

Seeing these four words, countless long-lasting memories came flooding back...

When he was a child, Lu Yu often saw his father staring at these words in a daze, sometimes even for the whole day.

He also asked his father why he kept reading these words, but his father did not answer and always remained silent.

At that time, Lu Yu didn't understand the meaning of these four words at all, let alone why his father acted like that.

But at this moment, in this situation, he faced these four powerful characters again, and suddenly he had a new understanding that he had never had before.

As long as you have a breath left, never give up!

As the saying goes, words are like people, this must be the belief that my father has always upheld.

Perhaps, this is what he wants to tell himself.

The most precious wealth that his father left to him was not the swordsmanship of the Star, nor status, nor glory and wealth.

But a spirit, a spirit of never giving up!

No matter when, where, or what difficulties we face, we will never give up!

At the thought of this, Lu Yu suddenly burst out with a huge momentum.

Qiang——

The sword hanging on the wall was unsheathed, revealing a section of it with a cold light.

Lu Yu couldn't help but be stunned.

This...could it be that his father's will was responding to him?

At this moment, a vision suddenly occurred.

A red lotus flower appeared in front of Lu Yu, its petals opening one after another and spinning continuously.

Then it was divided into nine parts and turned into nine identical red lotuses, constantly surrounding Lu Yu.

After a while, the blossoming red lotus flew down to Lu Yu's abdomen, submerged into the sea of ​​​​qi, and merged with Lu Yu's originally damaged sea of ​​​​qi as if taking root.

Lu Yu was greatly surprised, but the whole process was out of his control at all. He could only watch the nine red lotuses gradually blend in and become part of his body.

A strange power awakened subsequently.

"This is... the new Qi Sea?" Lu Yu was extremely surprised.

The nine red lotuses kept rotating, and under its guidance, the sea of ​​​​qi that had been riddled with holes gradually repaired, and the inner energy gathered again.

The petals of the red lotus are as red as fire, and they are thriving!

The petals bloom and fall one after another, endlessly and endlessly!

Just like the red lotus nirvana, the fire of karma is reborn!

Lu Yu suppressed the fluctuations in his heart and took a deep breath.

Take off the sword hanging on the wall and activate your inner energy.

With a clang, the sword was unsheathed, and the cold light shone on the entire room.

The sword's name is Feihong, and it is one of his father's swords during his lifetime. It is a famous magical weapon. Only those in the late stage of the physical realm, that is, with strength above the seventh level, can drive it.

With Lu Yu's original cultivation level, he couldn't drive it at all, but he didn't expect that he could pull the sword out of its sheath now.

Lu Yu was overjoyed.

He circulated his inner energy and unfolded his sword.

Star Sword Technique - Starry Dots!

Little bits of cold light swayed out.

Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo…

A series of sword energy broke through the air.

Lu Yu opened his eyes wide and looked at the opposite wall.

I saw more than a dozen messy marks appearing out of thin air on the originally smooth and flat wall.

Lu Yu's breathing became rapid.

The sword energy is released!

This is a method that can only be used in the True Yuan realm!

Although the power of these dozens of sword qi is far from the power of the real True Yuan realm sword qi, and they also rely on the edge of the Feihong Sword to a certain extent, this in itself illustrates the mystery of the power of the red lotus.

This is only the first time he has used this power, and he is not very proficient in it. If he practices diligently over time, he will definitely have stronger power!

Although this power emerged for the first time, the strange thing was that Lu Yu did not feel strange, but felt very familiar. He did not reject it either physically or mentally.

It’s as if it’s something you’re born with…

What is going on?

Suddenly, a soft white light emitted from the calligraphy and painting next to it.

Lu Yu was surprised.

Looking down, I saw the four words "One breath remains" slowly disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Instead, lines of small, light golden characters appeared one by one.

"Xiao Yu, my son, if you see this letter, it means that the lotus seed has awakened in your body, and your father has probably been buried in the Domain of Ten Thousand Swords..."

"The lotus seed was planted in your body by your mother when the moon was full. This thing came from the nine heavens and is very important. I hope you will cherish it and make good use of it, so as to live up to the earnest expectations of your father and your mother..."

"Your mother is not dead yet. Her name is Meng Feiyan. She is a saint of the generation of the overseas fairy Bixiao Palace. Because she fell in love with me, she was not tolerated by the sect and was persecuted. Now she is imprisoned in the Nine Netherworld..."

"Everyone knows that your mother died of a serious disease when you were six months old. This was just a trick designed by your father to conceal your true identity so that you would not be discovered by Bixiao. The Palace of Gods has discovered..."

"The Bixiao Palace of Gods has many eyes and ears. Even if my son has awakened the lotus seed, he must not tell anyone about this, so as not to bring about a fatal disaster..."

"When my son has achieved success in cultivation, he can bring his father's Feihong Sword to Mingjian City. At that time, someone will tell you how to save your mother. If no one tells you, it means that my son's cultivation is not yet up to par..."

"Written by Lu Tianying at midnight on the tenth day of the tenth month of the Gengzi year."

"Burn after reading."

As the last line of words was displayed, a flame suddenly appeared on the calligraphy and painting, and in an instant, the calligraphy and painting were burned cleanly, leaving no ash.

Lu Yu was so surprised that he could not be more surprised.

Holding the Feihong Sword in his hand, he fell to the ground.

So this is it!

My mother is still alive, and she has planted the lotus seed in me!

I actually have such a bizarre life experience!

Many doubts that have troubled me for many years, Lu Yu suddenly figured it out...

Why was my father always depressed before?

He and his wife were torn apart alive, and his wife was imprisoned in the Nine Netherworlds, her life or death uncertain. How could he be happy...

Why was he so gifted as a child, and his father always looked at him with expectation?

His body contained magical things from the Nine Heavens, so his cultivation talent was naturally affected, and his father naturally had high expectations for him...

Why did his cultivation stagnate after taking the Wuji Heart Pill?

Because the Wuji Heart Pill has a strong medicinal property and has the effect of cleansing the meridians and marrow, and Lu Yu's body has long been occupied by the powerful Lotus Seed. The Wuji Heart Pill can't do anything to the Lotus Seed, but it still suppresses the Lotus Seed to a certain extent. The two are fighting each other, and Lu Yu has turned from a genius into a waste.

It is precisely for this reason that Lu Yu has taken the Wuji Heart Pill for five years, but still has not absorbed it, giving Bu Yi and Xiang Chen an opportunity.

It turns out that the crux of everything is here...

"Father... Mother..."

Lu Yu looked at the calligraphy and painting that had disappeared without a trace, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

It was not until Xiao Zhu screamed from outside that he came back to his senses.

Xiao Zhu's voice was shocked and angry-

"Get out, you bastards! You want me to betray the third branch of the Lu family? No way!"
