Chapter 151: Chapter 151: 50,000-Fold Return, Immortal-grade Martial Technique
Sect Leader Uncle?
Lu Changsheng, Li Changye, Murong Shi, Song Wuchuan, Zhao Wuyan, and other young generation elders of Mount Shu were startled by the conversation between the six sect leaders and the Supreme Elders.
The Sect Leader of Mount Shu, Taiyuan Zhenren, stepped into the Dao Palace Realm three thousand years ago, which means Taiyuan Zhenren had been cultivating for at least three thousand years.
So, how many years had Taiyuan Zhenren’s Sect Leader Uncle lived?
“I heard from my master that the Sect Leader Uncle’s lifespan was nearing its end and he left Mount Shu two thousand years ago, disappearing without a trace. But who would have thought, after two thousand years, the Sect Leader Uncle is still alive…”
Murong Shi’s master is the Peak Master of Bimoon Peak; she knew many secrets of Mount Shu, whereas Lu Changsheng was hearing about the existence of the Sect Leader Uncle for the first time.
The status of the Sect Leader Uncle was a generation above that of the Mount Shu Sect Leader, and it was hard to imagine the level of his cultivation.
It seems there are still many great divine power wielders in this world; I must continue to cling to life and strive to enhance my cultivation as much as possible.
The fight to the death with the Savage Elephant King made Lu Changsheng realize his own insufficiencies, as he lacked close-quarters combat martial techniques.
A Great Demon like the Savage Elephant King, capable of withstanding the attacks of the Tiangang Sword Formation, could get up close to Lu Changsheng for hand-to-hand combat. Once Lu Changsheng lost his magical artifacts and was left empty-handed, he would have a hard time contending with it, relying solely on elixir pills.
Beyond relying on magical artifacts, one must also cultivate martial techniques.
Among a few disciples, the second disciple Lu Qinglian had the Martial King Divine Physique and could cultivate any martial technique, so teaching Lu Qinglian martial techniques would return advanced martial techniques.
Lu Changsheng had slain many Great Demons and Demon Sect elders, obtaining space rings filled with treasures. It wouldn’t be a problem to find a few dozen Profound Rank and Earth Rank martial techniques; Lu Changsheng only needed to select the appropriate martial techniques to teach to Lu Qinglian.
“The Demon Lord is wounded and temporarily lost control over the myriad tribes of Huang State. The four great Demon Sects and the Demon Race of Huang State have only retreated for a time and will inevitably make a comeback. The calamity is not yet over. Our six great sects must suppress the four great Demon Sects and the Demon Race of Huang State as much as possible while the Demon Lord is injured. Otherwise, once the Demon Lord’s strength climbs to a new level… It would be best if we can find and thoroughly suppress the Demon Lord before his injuries heal, obliterating his soul and spirit.”
Yu Xuanji performed divinations, calculating the secrets of heaven, and knew that the period after the Demon Lord was defeated by the Sect Leader Uncle of Mount Shu was his weakest, giving an advantage to the six great sects.
“Temple Master Yu means to go on the offensive, to launch an attack on the four great Demon Sects’ strongholds and head to the million mountains of Huang State to eradicate the Demon Lord?”
“Exactly.”
“This matter is of great importance; we need to make careful arrangements.”
The leaders of the six great sects communicated secretly, discussing the forthcoming strategies of the six sects.
The elders and disciples of the six great sects took the opportunity, with the four Demon Sects and the Demon Race of Huang State having left, to sit in meditation and circulate their qi, recovering their True Qi.
“How did I end up making a promise with him, what should I do now?”
Xia Ningxue realized she had not fallen in this calamity, and thinking of the promise she made along the way with Lu Changsheng, her ears burned with embarrassment, and now she dared not face Lu Changsheng.
In retrospect, it was difficult to even speak of it.
At this time, Lu Changsheng was in the process of picking out suitable martial techniques and cultivation methods.
“The Earth Rank mid-grade martial technique ‘Eight Desolations Fist’ can barely be taught to a disciple.”
After raising his standards, Lu Changsheng found ordinary martial techniques scarcely worthy of consideration.
Disciple Lu Qinglian, having reached the Dao Palace Realm, needed at least to cultivate Earth Rank martial techniques for improvement.
Based on Lu Changsheng’s experience, rewarding an Earth Rank mid-grade martial technique would most likely return an Earth Rank high-grade martial technique or even a Heaven Rank martial technique, with an extremely small chance of returning an Immortal Rank martial technique.
With Lu Qinglian’s Martial King Divine Physique, even without using magical artifacts, if he learned martial techniques, his body itself would be a supreme magical artifact.
“Lian, come here, your master will teach you a set of fist techniques.”
Lu Changsheng always remembered to teach his disciple. During the rest period for the six major sects, he privately demonstrated a set of Earth Rank Mid-Grade Martial Technique to Lu Qinglian, which was vigorous and forceful. He carefully demonstrated each move three times and passed on the mnemonic verse.
“Lian has memorized it.”
Lu Qinglian mastered the techniques at a speed a hundred times faster than an ordinary person and instantly memorized the Earth Rank Mid-Grade Martial Technique, the Eight Desolations Fist.
[Ding, you have taught your disciple Lu Qinglian the Earth Rank Mid-Grade Martial Technique “Eight Desolations Fist” and received a fifty-thousand-fold return reward for teaching: a Heaven Rank Low-Grade Martial Technique “Hundredfold Desolate Force”.]
After a successful teaching, the system returned a Heaven Rank Martial Technique.
Lu Changsheng was stunned.
He had originally planned to reward Lu Qinglian with an Earth Rank Martial Technique, expecting the system might return a Heaven Rank Martial Technique, giving himself an extra Cultivation Technique, an additional means to protect his life. He had not expected to be so lucky today, to directly trigger a fifty-thousand-fold return.
[“Hundredfold Desolate Force”: A Heaven Rank Low-Grade Martial Technique, condenses a large amount of True Qi into a fist, transforming it into Desolate Gang Qi, capable of destroying heaven and earth. Divided into ten levels, with each level achieved, the punch’s force increases tenfold. Once the tenth level is reached, the punch can burst out with a hundredfold force.]
“Isn’t this the Cultivation Technique cultivated by the Savage Elephant King? No wonder the attacks of the Savage Elephant King were so formidable that even the Mysterious Yellow Tower could hardly withstand them.”
Lu Changsheng realized that the returned Heaven Rank Martial Technique was the secret skill of the Savage Elephant King whom he had slain not long ago.
Lu Changsheng opened the first page of “Hundredfold Desolate Force”, memorized the mnemonic, and began to cultivate it.
During his time in the Dao Palace Realm, Lu Changsheng obtained a Heaven Rank Low-Grade Martial Technique “Emperor’s Six Harmonies Spear”. At that time, his realm was not high enough to cultivate Heaven Rank Martial Techniques, but having entered the Void Refinement Realm, he was now able to cultivate Heaven Rank Low-Grade Martial Techniques.
The Savage Elephant King’s Cultivation had reached the fourth layer of the Void Refinement Realm, cultivating the third layer, thrice the Desolate Force.
It was uncertain when he would be able to cultivate the Hundredfold Desolate Force.
Lu Changsheng, with his Innate Taoist Body, also had an extremely fast understanding of Martial Techniques. He soon comprehended the first layer of the “Hundredfold Desolate Force”, able to use tenfold Desolate Force.
“Hundredfold Desolate Force” can only be cultivated by those who practice Body Refinement, and one’s physical toughness must be sufficient to withstand the power of the “Hundredfold Desolate Force”.
At present, Lu Changsheng’s physique could at most cultivate to the second layer, i.e., twentyfold Desolate Force.
“This Martial Technique does fit well with the Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills. Once the Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills reach Great Perfection, I estimate I could unleash the Hundredfold Desolate Force.”
Having the Innate Taoist Body, anyways, he was bound to get twice the result with half the effort, no matter which Cultivation Technique he studied.
Having one more method of attack is always good.
“How come your people from Mount Shu have also started to value Martial Techniques?”
Ye Wen from the Martial Alliance noticed Lu Changsheng teaching his disciple Martial Techniques and couldn’t help but look towards Li Changye.
Li Changye shrugged, “Lu is no ordinary person.”
Lu Changsheng and his disciples from Qingyun Peak learn every Cultivation Technique, embracing all streams of thought.
After teaching the Earth Rank Martial Technique, Lu Changsheng rewarded his disciples with Elixir Pills, returning the seventh-grade and eighth-grade ones, replenishing their losses.
“The Ninth-grade Life and Death Reincarnation Pills are used up, but I still have the ninth-grade talisman ‘Within Reach, Ends of the Earth’ to save my life. It looks like I need to procure a batch of Life and Death Reincarnation Pills. Just what Elixir Pills should I award the disciple that would likely return the Life and Death Reincarnation Pills?”
“It would naturally be better to get a Mid-Grade Immortal Artifact.”
“I wonder if the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator can return Elixir Pills higher in grade than the ninth-grade Immortal Pills.”
While meditating and cultivating, Lu Changsheng pondered how to proceed with his disciple’s training.
