Chapter 331: Chapter 298: Disciple Instruction before Ascension, Millionfold Return! (4K)
“Sect Leader can actually fell even the immortals from the heavens, what kind of cultivation is this?”
“I don’t know when we will need to cultivate until we can possess one-tenth of the Sect Leader’s cultivation?”
The young generation of disciples from Mount Shu witnessed in the treasure space of the Demon Emperor Cauldron the great battle between Lu Changsheng, Xia Ningxue, Grandmaster Taixu, and three Earth Immortal Realm powerhouses.
Three immortals from the Immortal Realm were trapped and fell in battle to mortals using the Zodiac Star Battle Array, the Holy Spirit Sword Art, and the Demon God Clock; such a scene was too shocking, greatly impacting the fragile minds of the second generation disciples from Qingyun Peak.
Originally many prestigious families admired Lu Changsheng for his supreme swordsmanship and came to witness it, but now the power displayed by Mount Shu has utterly shaken everyone, giving the younger generation of Mount Shu disciples an even greater sense of belonging to the sect.
“What do you plan to do with these two?”
Pavilion Master Tang Wansan had captured several powerhouse elders from Thousand Swords Manor and Dragon Tiger Sect and handed them over to Lu Changsheng for disposition.
“The law does not punish the masses, I can spare Thousand Swords Manor and Dragon Tiger Sect, but these individuals, with their scheming against Mount Shu, must have their cultivation crippled.”
Lu Changsheng usually valued peace, but he was certainly not a pushover.
Sun Jian and Zhang Qinglong sought his death, and even if they surrendered, Lu Changsheng would not easily let them go lest they become a future threat.
The disciples of Lu Changsheng were not yet a match for Sun Jian and Zhang Qinglong.
Sun Jian, Zhang Qinglong, and several Unity Realm Supreme Elders turned pale.
They did not expect to meet with disaster at Mount Shu, and for private grievances, their millennia of cultivation were ruined in an instant; but since Lu Changsheng decided to spare their sects, only crippling their cultivation was already the best outcome: “You need not do it; we will cripple our cultivation ourselves.”
Several Unity Realm powerhouses began to cripple their cultivation, dispersing all their True Qi and becoming no different from ordinary people.
Falling from the Unity Realm to a state without the slightest True Qi was harder for them to endure than death itself.
Sun Jian and Zhang Qinglong, however, did not dare to show the slightest anger.
Lu Changsheng could slay immortals, and those at the Unity Realm simply could not resist and would also implicate their sects.
Tang Wansan’s face was expressionless: “This is the result of your own actions.”
“Why not exterminate Thousand Swords Manor and Dragon Tiger Sect?”
The Empress of Great Martial, Wu Yue, was even colder and more merciless.
Her methods were far stronger than those of Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng said indifferently, “The sins of the fathers should not be visited upon the children, moreover, if Thousand Swords Manor and Dragon Tiger Sect wish to seek revenge, it would be a good opportunity to temper my several disciples. After I ascend to the Immortal Realm, if they are invincible in this world, it would not be beneficial for their cultivation.”
Wu Yue silently realized the wisdom in his words: “I see.”
After becoming mortals, Sun Jian and Zhang Qinglong returned to their respective sects.
Mount Shu returned to tranquility.
After witnessing the realm of the current Sect Leader Lu Changsheng and the former Sect Leader Grandmaster Taixu, the elders and disciples of Mount Shu dared not be arrogant but cultivated modestly.
Xia Ningxue stood at the summit of Qingyun Peak beside Lu Changsheng, her three thousand strands of black hair moving with the wind: “Are you ascending to the Immortal Realm?”
“My realm has already become difficult to suppress. After this battle with the Earth Immortal Realm adversaries, I’ve had another epiphany; in less than a month, I must ascend to the Immortal Realm. But before that, I need to leave enough cultivation techniques, magical treasures, elixir pills, and talismans for my disciples.”
Lu Changsheng possessed the special physique of the Innate Taoist Body, and even without the return from teaching disciples, his realm was progressing rapidly.
Lu Changsheng’s realm had reached the peak of the Unity Realm, and even if he wanted to suppress it, he could not hold it back any longer.
Xia Ningxue’s eyes revealed a touch of worry: “My realm is always a step behind yours; I’m afraid I might not be able to ascend with you when the time comes.”
“You can choose a later date to ascend, I will wait for you in the Immortal Realm.”
Lu Changsheng also worried that Xia Ningxue, like Grandmaster Taixu ten thousand years before, might attempt to face the tribulation prematurely due to an insufficient realm, ultimately failing miserably, so he asked Xia Ningxue to continue cultivating in this world until she was fully confident before ascending to the Immortal Realm.
Xia Ningxue’s heart warmed, and she nodded earnestly: “Okay.”
In his last month before ascending to the Immortal Realm, Lu Changsheng initiated his disciples one last time with a power-infusing initiation.
From then on, these first-generation disciples from Qingyun Peak had to cultivate on their own and ascend to the Immortal Realm by their own merit.
The second-generation disciples from Qingyun Peak did not even have the chance for power-infusing initiation and could only cultivate normally.
However, Lu Changsheng left behind a large quantity of high-level elixir pills, allowing these disciples to have enough resources to assist their cultivation and make it twice as effective with half the effort.
Lu Changsheng also left the complete cultivation technique, Supreme Purity Limitless Technique, totaling twelve volumes, at Mount Shu.
The complete Supreme Purity Limitless Technique was an upper-grade immortal-class cultivation technique.
To enshrine this technique, Mount Shu’s Scripture Pavilion was expanded to the sixth floor.
The Supreme Purity Limitless Technique was sufficient for Unity Realm cultivators to use.
Moreover, the Supreme Purity Limitless Technique was the key to activating the Zodiac Star Battle Array. When combined with the Zodiac Star Battle Array, even immortals could be brought down.
Apart from the Supreme Purity Limitless Technique, Lu Changsheng also left behind techniques such as Divine Sword Commanding Wind Art, Divine Sword Thunder Commanding Art, Divine Sword Fire Commanding Art, Divine Sword Commanding Water Art, Primordial Sword Scripture, Heaven Escape Sword Skills, Seven Star Sword Formation, Grand Thousand Sword Formation, Tiangang Sword Formation, Immortal Divine Art, Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills, and more at Mount Shu.
Since he might obtain more advanced techniques in the Immortal Realm, there was no need to let those techniques become lost in this world.
The immortal-class techniques left by Lu Changsheng numbered at least a hundred, more than enough for Mount Shu’s elders and disciples to cultivate in the future.
As for the Heavenly Earth Mystical Swordmanship created by Lu Changsheng, it was still incomplete, so he transmitted it only to his eldest disciple, Lin Qingzhi.
