“Congratulations, Sect Leader!”
The disciples of Mount Shu in Tianyang City congratulated Lu Changsheng, admiring him immensely.
Becoming a direct disciple of the Temple Master of Jing Long Immortal Temple had elevated the status of Mount Shu as well.
“Congratulations, Lu.”
The Loose Cultivators in Tianyang City were filled with envy.
To be personally taken as an apprentice by the Temple Master of Jing Long Immortal Temple was an incredibly fortunate event that any Loose Immortal would envy.
After all, it was Jing Long Immortal Temple, one of the strongest sects in Cangyu!
“I really don’t understand why the Temple Master of Jing Long Immortal Temple would take a fancy to you, when clearly I, Yan Zhiqiu, am the unmatched genius. Well, it seems I, Yan Zhiqiu, am still not worthy of immortals. I’d better return to Kunlun Immortal Mountain and apologise to my master, and focus on my cultivation.”
Yan Zhiqiu, feeling dejected, left Tianyang City.
Due to the clash of the great sects outside Tianyang City, even the solid ground had turned into marsh, and several hills had been leveled, but no matter what, the crisis of Tianyang City was resolved, and the city returned to normal operations.
“The gathering of nature’s spiritual energy by the great formation of Jinglong Mountain is more abundant. You might as well cultivate on Jinglong Mountain with your two disciples. As for the affairs of Mount Shu, you can entrust them to an Elder. Cultivating on Jinglong Mountain, you won’t have to worry about the Yellow Springs Sect or Divine Lightning Sect constantly causing you trouble.
Our master is a Daluo Golden Immortal; neither the Yellow Springs Sect nor Divine Lightning Sect will dare to act recklessly.”
Shangguan Zhao’er urged Lu Changsheng to go cultivate on Jinglong Mountain, concerned that the Yellow Springs Sect may still set traps using him as a bait, or that Divine Lightning Sect would continue to cause him trouble.
“Hmm.”
Lu Changsheng knew that staying on Tianxuan Mountain would make him an easy target for the Yellow Springs Sect and Divine Lightning Sect, and that moving to Jinglong Mountain to cultivate was a good choice.
From Shangguan Zhao’er, Lu Changsheng learned something important: the Temple Master of Jing Long Immortal Temple was nothing less than a Daluo Golden Immortal!
A Daluo Golden Immortal, approaching immortality, with divine powers that reach the heavens.
Such a formidable existence is given respect by all great Immortal Sects.
After all, Daluo Golden Immortals have long lifespans, and nobody knows if they will make further progress.
Having arrived in the Immortal Realm over four hundred years ago, Lu Changsheng now had a master who was a Daluo Golden Immortal, an impressive backing.
Lu Changsheng, accompanied by his disciples Xiao Fan and Ning Qianqian, went to Jinglong Mountain to become disciples.
When the members of Jing Long Immortal Temple learned that the Temple Master had taken another direct disciple, it caused quite a stir.
This was a major event.
The Temple Master was a Daluo Golden Immortal with selective standards; even ordinary Heavenly Immortals might not be favored, yet he took a novice Earth Immortal as a direct disciple.
Jing Long Immortal Temple allocated a Daoist Temple for Lu Changsheng, adjacent to Shangguan Zhao’er’s Meihua Temple, for him to cultivate.
The Temple Master of Jing Long Immortal Temple did not personally instruct Lu Changsheng.
After all, in her view, Lu Changsheng’s realm was too low; there was no need for her to spend time instructing him personally, so she allowed Shangguan Zhao’er to mentor him instead.
As a high-level Heavenly Immortal Realm expert, Shangguan Zhao’er was more than capable of guiding Lu Changsheng’s cultivation.
In front of Protector Han of Wuwei Temple, a disciple of Jing Long Immortal Temple said, “Master, that Lu Changsheng has been frequently visiting Meihua Temple lately.”
“This Lu Changsheng, with no background whatsoever, was accepted as a disciple by the Temple Master—he must have stumbled upon incredible luck. I just need to advance one more step, and I’ll be a Daluo Golden Immortal. Then, I can forcefully take Shangguan Zhao’er as my wife, and the Temple Master would have nothing to say. Yet now, this Lu Changsheng appears out of nowhere.
If he ends up getting ahead, wouldn’t I be left holding the bag?”
A flicker of murderous intent crossed Protector Han’s eyes.
Protector Han had long coveted Shangguan Zhao’er, and now Lu Changsheng’s sudden appearance, with his close visits, convinced Protector Han that he must eliminate Lu Changsheng or else he would be left cleaning up a mess.
“Master, but he is the direct disciple personally accepted by the Temple Master. If we make a move against him, the Temple Master will surely be furious.”
“If I were the direct heir of my family, what would the Temple Master count for? Even if I’m not the direct heir, the Temple Master wouldn’t dare to provoke the family behind me.”
“Yes.”
The eyes of this disciple from Jing Long Immortal Temple were filled with zeal when looking at Protector Han.
Protector Han’s family background was incredibly formidable, which is why he didn’t place the Temple Master of Jing Long Immortal Temple in his eyes.
“Still, I’m ultimately no match for the Temple Master, so I can’t openly deal with Lu Changsheng. I need to find a good opportunity.”
Protector Han patiently awaited the right moment.
However, Lu Changsheng knew that before his own realm could advance, it was best to cultivate in seclusion on Jinglong Mountain; during this period, Protector Han also found no opportunity to strike.
Lu Changsheng usually cultivated in his own Daoist Temple and simultaneously conducted Power-infusing Initiation for his two disciples, Xiao Fan and Ning Qianqian.
Lu Changsheng had remained at the third peak of the Earth Immortal Realm for some time, but due to the vast amount of nature’s spiritual energy returned through Power-infusing Initiation, he quickly entered the fourth layer of the Earth Immortal Realm.
Sometimes, Lu Changsheng would seek advice from his elder sister, Shangguan Zhao’er, on doubts about cultivation.
After all, having cultivated for fifty thousand years, Shangguan Zhao’er’s accumulation of experience far surpassed that of Lu Changsheng and she was able to impart knowledge and resolve his confusions.
The “Heavenly Earth Mystical Sword Technique” that Lu Changsheng had created was gradually perfected under the guidance of Shangguan Zhao’er.
“Junior brother, when did you create this sword technique?”
“At the Zhong Zhou conference.”
“Inconceivable…”
Shangguan Zhao’er gazed at her handsome junior brother with affectionate eyes, growing even more appreciative.
For Lu Changsheng to have created a Sacred Tier sword technique in the Unity Realm, his Sword Dao talent was unbelievable.
To know that even an Earth Immortal, although they can practice Sacred Tier cultivation techniques, to create one is another level of difficulty.
Besides Shangguan Zhao’er’s guidance on Lu Changsheng’s cultivation, the Temple Master of Jing Long Immortal Temple also imparted wisdom to Lu Changsheng once or twice. Although infrequent, the advice from the Daluo Golden Immortal-ranked Temple Master was so profound that Lu Changsheng could digest it for a long time.
As the direct disciple of the Temple Master of Jing Long Immortal Temple, Lu Changsheng could receive cultivation resources from the temple every month.
Mount Shu also offered Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures annually to Lu Changsheng, the Sect Leader.
Lu Changsheng used these treasures to teach his disciples and in return, received even rarer Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, never lacking cultivation resources.
Three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
During the three hundred years of cultivating on Jinglong Mountain, time was peaceful and serene. Lu Changsheng never left Jinglong Mountain lightly, and with the protection of the Temple Master of Jing Long Immortal Temple and Shangguan Zhao’er, neither the Yellow Springs Sect, the Divine Lightning Sect, nor Protector Han could do anything to Lu Changsheng.

With a Daluo Golden Immortal as master protecting him, and Lu Changsheng’s wise caution, how could the traps set for him succeed? Especially when Lu Changsheng could preemptively detect them with the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator.
During his time cultivating on Jinglong Mountain, Lu Changsheng’s realm broke through from the fourth layer to the fifth layer of the Earth Immortal Realm.
Even Shangguan Zhao’er, who was recognized as an unprecedented genius, found this unbelievable.
The speed of Lu Changsheng’s cultivation was simply too fast.
It took forty thousand years for Shangguan Zhao’er to reach her current realm.
“Master has been giving me Power-infusing Initiation and even shares some of the cultivation resources given to him by Jing Long Immortal Temple with me; his kindness is perhaps too extravagant. Murong Lan’s realm may not even be comparable to mine.”
Xiao Fan’s cultivation soared under Lu Changsheng’s Power-infusing Initiation, giving him more confidence.
Even within the Divine Lightning Sect, Murong Lan likely did not have such a cultivation speed.
The next time he met Murong Lan, Xiao Fan intended to prove he was not worthless, that his aptitude was in no way inferior to Murong Lan’s.
“Junior sister’s aura has suddenly become turbulent—could it be that she is about to make a breakthrough?”
Xiao Fan suddenly noticed that Ning Qianqian’s aura was fluctuating, a sign she was approaching a breakthrough from the Unity Realm to the Earth Immortal Realm.
Having received multiple Power-infusing Initiations from Lu Changsheng and consumed many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Ning Qianqian’s realm finally reached the edge of the Earth Immortal Realm.
The Dragon Emperor Bloodline required a great deal of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures before undergoing Tribulation.
Fortunately, with the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, Lu Changsheng was constantly returning higher-level treasures; otherwise, it would have been difficult to support Ning Qianqian, the Dragon Emperor.
To single-handedly support a Dragon Emperor’s needs was something unthinkable for an ordinary Immortal Sect.
And this was only a Dragon Emperor in the Unity Realm; as she advanced to the Earth Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Immortal Realm, the required resources would be an astronomical figure.
“My disciple really knows how to bide her time, spending three hundred years at the ninth layer of the Unity Realm, and is finally about to break through.”
For the first time, Lu Changsheng had nurtured a disciple who reached the Earth Immortal Realm, and she was none other than a Dragon Emperor.
He wondered what the reward would be for cultivating his first Earth Immortal Realm disciple?
