Chapter 1232: Chapter 1232

1232: Chapter 1192: Secluded Cultivation 1232: Chapter 1192: Secluded Cultivation On the military training ground, Lu Chuan consecutively released the Nine Heavens Profound Fire upon the crowd.

The process severely drained the Spiritual Energy within Lu Chuan’s body.

He even had to take out a Divine Tree branch to constantly replenish his depleted Spiritual Energy.

Round after round of soldiers were detoxified of poisons.

Standing on the military training ground, most of them were in considerable discomfort, weakened to the core after violent vomiting.

Wu Tongwei swept a glance over the crowd and nodded in satisfaction.

“It’s good that we’ve timely cleaned up this huge hidden threat; otherwise, when the battle really starts, the consequences would be unimaginable!”

Wu Tongwei turned to Lu Chuan and said, “Thank you, you’ve been a great help to us.”

“It’s what I should do.

Helping them is also helping myself,”

Lu Chuan replied with a smile.

“However, although we have indeed eliminated the hidden threat, there’s another problem.

With Lu Shenji’s plan failed, he certainly won’t make a rash move but will continue using other methods.”

Lu Chuan scanned the many people present and said, “It’s nearly impossible to keep news about this place from getting out with so many people here; it’s bound to spread eventually.”

“So, we must continue to devise ways to counter their tactics.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Tongwei’s eyebrows furrowed tightly.

“Could it be we can only wait passively here?

Why not launch a proactive attack?”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “Forget it.

If we launch a proactive attack now, we may not be their match.

We can attempt it, but only after I complete my breakthrough, then we can take the initiative to attack!”

Lu Chuan had great confidence in his Divine Fire of the Sun, believing that once he advanced to Stage 2, he would be capable of annihilating the enemy.

But currently, Lu Chuan’s knowledge about the enemy is limited, and without sufficient self-confidence, a defeat would lead to great problems!

All that Lu Chuan has accumulated on his journey would vanish into thin air, hence, he must be cautious.

The enemies of the Lu family would not grant Lu Chuan any chance for survival or opportunity; a defeat would certainly spell death for him!

“Just a breakthrough?

Is that all it takes?”

He curiously looked at Lu Chuan.

Just give me a little more time, not much, about five days should do.”

“During this time, monitor everything happening within the city, sever trade with the outside world, and prepare for battle!”

“I will fully focus on my cultivation retreat.

Once I reach Stage 2, we can commence the battle.

By that time, even if they are reluctant to fight, I will hunt them down!”

Lu Chuan said with an intense determination, his face brimming with confidence.

Seeing this, Wu Tongwei was also inspired and promptly nodded, “No problem, I believe in you!

Since that’s the case, let’s delay for another five days.

During this period, I will do my best to hold them off!”

“Once they show signs of an attack, I will immediately inform you!”

Lu Chuan nodded with a smile, “The other side definitely has no idea that I can achieve a breakthrough if I delay a few more days.”

“So, they may not be in a rush to attack, but instead, continue to besiege us.”

Wu Tongwei nodded heavily, showing deep agreement, “That’s right, Hei Jin City produces very little grain; normally, it relies on trading with other cities to maintain its supply.”

“Therefore, as long as the siege is extended long enough, we will soon crumble without an assault!”

“So, if I were Lu Shenji, I would also likely prolong the siege, as crumbling without a fight is much easier than a call to arms.”

Lu Chuan turned and moved towards the main gate.

“I’ll take my leave now.

When I come to find you next time, that will be when we launch our counterattack!”

Lu Chuan waved to Wu Tongwei and then turned and left.

Wu Tongwei watched Lu Chuan leave, and once Lu Chuan’s figure disappeared, he turned to his own soldiers.

“Listen up, everyone.

Continue your drills.

We are about to face a tough battle, and you must hone your strength properly!

There must be no moment of slackness!”

After scolding them, he too turned and left.

Lu Chuan returned to the Lu Family Manor.

Upon his return, the first thing Lu Chuan did was to go to his room to begin a closed-door cultivation.

The two fire-elemental minerals he had obtained required a great deal of time to be fully absorbed.

Therefore, Lu Chuan needed to settle down and seriously absorb the Spiritual Energy within them.

Right after his return, Gu Xiaorou found Lu Chuan.

“Dinner’s ready, come and eat with us?”

Lu Chuan shook his head slightly and said, “No, you go ahead and eat.

I’m going to be in closed-door cultivation for the next few days.

We’ll talk when I come out.”

After saying this, Lu Chuan went back to his room.

Gu Xiaorou nodded helplessly, she knew all too well what the situation was, and so did not say much else.

After returning to his room, Lu Chuan took out his crystals and minerals, beginning to absorb the Spiritual Energy within.

The lengthy cultivation began.

As they were of the fire attribute, and particularly the Divine Fire of the Sun, almost overnight, Lu Chuan’s room had become like a furnace.

However, under Lu Chuan’s control, it did not cause a fire hazard, but it made the entire manor unbearably hot.

In the courtyard, Gu Xiaorou and the others gathered together, incessantly fanning themselves with fans.

“It’s so hot, I thought summer had come,” Gu Xiaosang complained.

“The source of the heat is Lu Chuan’s room; he must be cultivating his Divine Fire.

Given the intensity of the heat, I suspect it’s the Divine Fire of the Sun.”

“If he succeeds in his cultivation and achieves a breakthrough, the power will surely become even more terrifying!”

Jyang Ran said with a serious face, “Last time he released a fireball, we witnessed its power.

If he can achieve a breakthrough with his Divine Fire, the power could be even more astounding.”

“I see the key to this war resting on Lu Chuan.

If he smoothly completes his breakthrough, I believe we can easily win,” Dongfang Cheng confidently stated.

“Of course, no one can withstand a blast of his fireball, it would mean certain death.”

The group chatted idly for a while, then went off to do their own things.

A whole day passed without Lu Chuan coming out.

In the room, the crimson crystal in front of Lu Chuan had developed dense cracks, yet it was a long way from shattering completely.

The crystal was enveloped in the Divine Fire of the Sun, roasted by the fierce flames and absorbing the Spiritual Energy within.

For the entire day, Lu Chuan didn’t eat anything and was completely absorbed in his cultivation.

Watching his Divine Fire of the Sun growing continuously, his heart surged with excitement.

This process would continue, and Lu Chuan anticipated it would take five days to achieve a breakthrough.

It could be faster or possibly slower; he just hoped to successfully breakthrough before the enemy attacked!
