Above Qingyun Peak, purple clouds lingered, yet the menial workers had long since grown accustomed to the sight.
In the past few years, Qingyun Peak had witnessed several natural wonders, and the person behind these phenomena was none other than the Elder of Qingyun Peak, Lu Changsheng.
“Fifth level of the Dao Palace realm.”
Inside the cave dwelling, Lu Changsheng was sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion, with a stream of white vapor rising from the top of his head, constantly expanding the Dao Palace Minor Realm within him, making a breakthrough to the fifth level of the Dao Palace realm in one breath.
Due to his solid foundation, Lu Changsheng encountered no obstacles, advancing as naturally as water flows into channels.
“I have also thoroughly understood the fifth level of the Taiqing Wuji Technique.”
After Lu Changsheng stepped into the fifth level of the Dao Palace realm, he had fully comprehended the fifth level of the Taiqing Wuji Technique.
Lu Changsheng calculated with his fingers and realized that his seclusion had unexpectedly lasted two months.
The first thing Lu Changsheng did after coming out of seclusion was to summon his two disciples, continuing the power-infusing initiation.
Having entered the fifth level of the Dao Palace realm, Lu Changsheng’s Dantian and Qi Sea, along with his Dao Palace Minor Realm, had expanded enormously, allowing him to hold more spiritual energy.
[Ding, you have transferred 200 days of Heavenly Cultivation to your disciple “Lian”, who has actually received 40 days of Heavenly Cultivation. You have received a reward of one hundred tenfold return for teaching your disciple: 4400 days of Heavenly Cultivation.]
Having just transferred a small amount of cultivation, Lian’s little face was already beet red.
[Ding, you have transferred 180 days of Heavenly Cultivation to your disciple “Lin Qingzhi”, who has actually received 36 days of Heavenly Cultivation. You have received a reward of one hundred fiftyfold return for teaching your disciple: 5400 days of Heavenly Cultivation.]
Lu Changsheng received a total of 9800 days of Heavenly Cultivation from two instances of imparting his power.
The recently advanced Lu Changsheng’s Dantian and Qi Sea once again swelled with copious spiritual energy, and his Dao Palace Minor Realm grew.
“Junior brother.”
“Senior brother?”
Lu Changsheng was teaching his disciples as usual when his senior brother, Li Changye, suddenly came to visit.
“The Sect Leader commands, at the Six Paths Conference, you are to bring Lian with you.”
“Understood.”
“Lian, follow your master to the Six Paths Conference.”
“As for Qingzhi, you stay behind to guard Qingyun Peak.”
“Disciple obeys the order.”
“Great, Lian finally gets to leave the mountain!”
Lian punched the air excitedly.
She had stayed on Mount Shu for four years and was at last allowed to leave.
“With Mount Shu’s Sect Leader and senior brother leading, there probably won’t be any danger at this Six Paths Conference… ”
The four Demon Sects and the Demon Race of Huang State already knew of Lian’s presence on Mount Shu, but because Mount Shu had such a profound foundation, neither the Demon Sects nor the Demon Race of Huang State dared to act rashly. Li Changye’s decision to bring Lian to the Six Paths Conference— could it be…
Lu Changsheng pondered silently, then suddenly his eyes lit up.
He had guessed Li Changye’s intention.
“Before the Six Paths Conference begins, let’s see if I can comprehend the sixth level of the Taiqing Wuji Technique.”
Lu Changsheng continued his cultivation.
Each seclusion, whether short as a few days or as long as several months, Lu Changsheng remained committed to accumulating gains, and soon it was time for the Six Paths Conference.
The Six Paths Conference was the premier event for the cultivation world of Xia State, with all six righteous Sect Leaders and famed elders in attendance to address the major issues occurring in Xia State.
At the same time, the six righteous sects would use this opportunity to decide the ranking of the sects.
Although the six righteous sects still had some powerful elders anchoring them, the younger generation of elders represented the future of the sects. Therefore, the potential of the young generation of elders could generally stand for the strength of a sect.
Of the Mount Shu Sect, elders in the Dao Palace realm like Li Changye, Zhao Wuyan, and Lu Changsheng were direct disciples taken by Supreme Elder Taiyuan in the past five hundred years and were considered part of the younger generation.
“Master, we should set off now!”
Lian, unable to wait any longer, rushed to Lu Changsheng’s cave dwelling to urge him on.
Lu Changsheng awoke from his meditation, shook his head, and chuckled bitterly.
The Taiqing Wuji Technique is divided into nine levels, each level more profound and difficult to comprehend than the last.
Lu Changsheng broke through to the fifth level of the Dao Palace realm and it took him several months, yet he had not fully comprehended the sixth level of the Taiqing Wuji Technique.
If Taiyuan Zhenren knew that Lu Changsheng wanted to master the sixth level of the Taiqing Wuji Technique in just a few months, he would definitely think Lu Changsheng had gone mad.
This is a top-tier Heaven Rank technique after all.
“Let’s go.”
Lu Changsheng waved his sleeve, and a gentle breeze arose, wrapping around the two of them as they headed to the Mount Shu Great Hall for the assembly.
This time, there were seventy-two elders from Mount Shu participating in the Six Dao Grand Assembly, with the highest cultivation among them belonging to the eldest senior brother, Li Changye, at the ninth level of the Dao Palace realm.
Of course, the cultivation of Taiyuan Zhenren, who led the team, was unfathomable, having long since broken through the Dao Palace realm.
With the Sect Leader and seventy-two elders, such a squad was powerful enough to easily annihilate any secular kingdom, even the Great Xia Kingdom of Xia State, with its most populous nation, would not be able to withstand this force.
One by one, Flying Swords broke through the sky, the people practicing Sword Flight were inhaling and exhaling nature’s spiritual energy, like whales and dragons, all of them elders with profound levels of cultivation.
“Junior Brother pays his respects to Eldest Senior Brother!”
“Zhao, it’s been a long time.”
“Qian Junior Brother, you’ve been in seclusion for quite a while, unexpected to see you’re out for this occasion.”
“The Six Dao Grand Assembly is the premier event of Xia State, with the Sect Leader and Eldest Senior Brother personally leading the team, how could I miss it?”
“Lu Junior Brother? And Lu Junior Brother’s little disciple…”
The elders present changed colors upon noticing Lu Changsheng and Lian arrive, with many elders turning pale and others hurriedly protecting their beards.
Lu Changsheng’s little disciple was simply a Little Devil, causing chaos throughout Mount Shu.
Yet neither the Sect Leader nor the Eldest Senior Brother ever punished her, which led to many of the elders’ beards being secretly burned by Lian.
Aside from the Supreme Elders in the back mountains, other elders had more or less been plagued by this little ancestor, and they were quite afraid of her.
“Disciple, all the elders arepresent. As a junior, shouldn’t you be paying your respects to the elders?”
“Mount Shu Disciple Lian pays respects to all the elders.”
Lian performed her salutations demurely, looking both charming and adorable, but the elders of Mount Shu all got goosebumps at the sight of this Little Devil.
What scene that would be when Lian becomes a Mount Shu Elder of the same status as them.
“Eldest Senior Brother.”
“Zhao.”
“Lu Junior Brother.”
Lu Changsheng greeted elders such as Li Changye and Zhao Wuyan.
Li Changye, at the ninth level of the Dao Palace realm, and Zhao Wuyan, at the fifth level, these elders were all direct disciples of Taiyuan Zhenren and held esteemed statuses among the Mount Shu elders.
“Lu Junior Brother, your cultivation has improved again.”
“It’s unbelievable. Just five years ago, Lu Junior Brother had just stepped into the Dao Palace realm. And now, after five years, I can’t even ascertain the extent of Lu Junior Brother’s cultivation.”
Zhao Wuyan, as Lu Changsheng’s senior brother, although his own disciples were defeated by Lu Changsheng’s disciples at the Mount Shu assembly, losing all face, surprisingly, the relationship between the two was quite good.
Besides Senior Brother Li Changye, the elder from Mount Shu who got along best with Lu Changsheng was Zhao Wuyan.
“I’ve had some flashes of insight recently.”
Lu Changsheng also feared others would be amazed at how quickly his cultivation had advanced, so he attributed it to sudden enlightenment.
Legend has it that those with heavenly fate could be mortals at dawn and ascend to the Immortal Realm by dusk.
“I truly envy you.”
Zhao Wuyan was sincerely envious of Lu Changsheng.
Enlightenment was an opportunity that could only be encountered and not sought after.
“The Sect Leader has arrived!”
All the Mount Shu elders fell silent as they saw an old man dressed in a Yin Yang Taiji Dao Robe and an old woman leaning on a wooden cane, having appeared in the middle of the great hall without anyone noticing.
