Chapter 298: Chapter 282: Beating Up the Dragon Tiger Sect’s Young Sect Master! (4K)
“I must enter seclusion for seven days; during this period, you must not cause any trouble, otherwise I won’t be able to protect you,”
Before Lu Changsheng entered the cultivation space to practice in seclusion, he briefed several disciples in advance.
Afterward, Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue entered the cultivation space.
“There are still seven days until the sixth round of the competition. What cultivation technique can Longevity master in seven days?”
Situ Kong, Grandmaster Chen, Master Wuxiang, and even Monk Wu Le were all taken aback.
To a cultivator at the Unity Realm, seven days was but a blink of an eye.
In such a short amount of time, what could they comprehend? It was doubtful they could even improve their cultivation in the slightest.
“Since Longevity has decided to contend with Sun Jian, he must have a plan; we must have faith in Longevity.”
Although Situ Kong also felt that Lu Changsheng’s seven days of seclusion were futile, he believed that Lu Changsheng’s dedication to cultivation was always a good thing.
The only concern Situ Kong had was that the owner of Thousand Swords Manor might, because of personal grievances, cripple Lu Changsheng’s cultivation during the competition, leading to the fall of a peerless genius that Mount Shu had not seen in a long time.
If Lu Changsheng did not instruct the disciples of Qingyun Peak, then the cultivation speed of these disciples would also greatly decrease.
At this time, inside the cultivation space, Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue were practicing in seclusion.
The cultivation space was an independent space within the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, not much different from the outside world. The difference was that staying in the cultivation space for a hundred years only amounted to a single day in the outside world, the complete opposite of the legendary “a day in the cave, a thousand years in the world.”
The only downside was that while practicing in the cultivation space, one could not take disciples and thus could not return cultivation, and one had to rely on one’s own practice.
However, Lu Changsheng was born with an Innate Taoist Body, and Xia Ningxue with the Lingwa Holy Body. Even without the power-infusing initiation to return cultivation, their normal rate of practice was faster than that of average peerless geniuses.
The Dual Cultivation System could still continue to return cultivation and Sword Dao comprehension, making their practice speed even faster.
“With seven hundred years, even without disciple apprenticeship return, my realm should at least be able to rise by one level, and I even have hope to create a supreme set of sword techniques on my own,”
“I could even allocate some time to cultivate the Sacred Tier cultivation technique ‘Taiqing Heavenly Scripture.'”
With ample time for cultivation, Lu Changsheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Cultivating required a great deal of time, and the cultivation space, where time flowed at 36,500 times the speed of the outside world, was unquestionably a holy land for cultivation.
It was regrettable that Lu Changsheng could only stay in the cultivation space for seven hundred years; if he could use the cultivation space indefinitely, practicing for a hundred thousand years there would only equate to a thousand days in the outside world.
The value of the cultivation space was no less than that of an ultimate treasure.
Xia Ningxue was meditating and practicing on one side while stealing glances at Lu Changsheng with the corners of her eyes.
She and Lu Changsheng were to spend seven hundred years together in the cultivation space.
Lu Changsheng began to deduce his self-created sword techniques first.
The set of sword techniques that Lu Changsheng was creating merged the principles of wind, thunder, water, and fire, possessing immense power, which also made them incredibly difficult to deduce.
Lu Changsheng based it on the four fairy-grade superior sword techniques: ‘Divine Sword Commanding Wind Art,’ ‘Divine Sword Thunder Commanding Art,’ ‘Divine Sword Commanding Water Art,’ and ‘Divine Sword Fire Commanding Art,’ and also drew inspiration from the sword intentions left by the past Sect Leaders of Mount Shu, the nameless sword techniques from Qingxia Ancient Cave, and even a glimpse of the bare essentials of Thousand Swords Manor’s Selfless Sword Technique.
Xia Ningxue, on the other hand, continued to practice the nameless sword technique she discovered in Qingxia Ancient Cave.
The nameless sword technique from Qingxia Ancient Cave was comparable to Thousand Swords Manor’s Sacred Tier Swordsmanship ‘Selfless Sword Technique,’ but it was suitable for Xia Ningxue’s Lingwa Holy Body. Even if Lu Changsheng forcibly practiced it, he wouldn’t be able to unleash the full power of this set of sword techniques.
Lu Changsheng aimed to carve out his own path.
In the outside world, on the sixth day of Lu Changsheng’s seclusion, several disciples from Qingyun Peak were practicing in the place where the people from Mount Shu were staying.
Suddenly, a group of cultivators from Zhong Zhou arrived, each exuding a powerful aura, with many being cultivators of the Unity Realm, striding forth with the pride of dragons and tigers.
The Daoist robes of this group from Zhong Zhou were embroidered with dragon and tiger patterns, indicative of the second-largest sect in Zhong Zhou, Dragon Tiger Sect!
The arrival of Dragon Tiger Sect startled those from Mount Shu, Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, Hidden Dragon Temple, Immeasurable Temple, and Martial Alliance.
With a profound foundation, Dragon Tiger Sect was second only to Star Pavilion.
The combined might of all the major sects of Xia State might not even match that of Dragon Tiger Sect.
“Is it you?”
Shen Xiaoyao saw that the person leading Dragon Tiger Sect was none other than the Young Sect Leader of Dragon Tiger Sect, Zhang Sheng, and couldn’t help furrowing his brows.
The Dragon Tiger Sect’s Young Sect Leader Zhang Sheng bringing people into the dwellings of the Xia State cultivators likely meant he was coming for him.
Ever since Zhang Sheng witnessed Shen Xiaoyao and Tang Ling’er becoming quite close, he has sought to make things difficult for Shen Xiaoyao.
With Mount Shu’s Sect Leader Lu Changsheng in seclusion and absent from Star Pavilion, the current person in charge of the people from Mount Shu was his teaching elder, Situ Kong.
On discovering Zhang Sheng brought numerous Supreme Elders from Dragon Tiger Sect, all at Unity Realm, Situ Kong could not afford to offend Dragon Tiger Sect. He took a deep breath, “I dare to ask the esteemed friends from Dragon Tiger Sect, what brings you here?”
Zhang Sheng ignored Situ Kong’s question, scanning those present without spotting Mount Shu’s Sect Leader Lu Changsheng or Inquiry Immortal Pavilion’s Pavilion Master Xia Ningxue: “Where is the Sect Leader of Mount Shu? Could it be he’s run away in fear knowing his next opponent is the owner of Thousand Swords Manor? Then he is indeed self-aware, for if he were to face Master Sun in combat, I fear his cultivation might be crippled by Master Sun.”
“Zhang Sheng, I’m afraid I have to disappoint you. My master does not intend to forfeit,”
