If Lu Changsheng were a direct disciple of a super Immortal Sect, offending him would mean the entire Liuyun Pavilion would be buried alongside him.
The old crone was concerned about the interests of Liuyun Pavilion and was unwilling to take even the slightest risk.
The old crone put away the thought of eliminating Lu Changsheng, the instigator of trouble, and the divine sense fluctuations receded.
Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes, looking towards the nine thousand palace towers. The one who had attempted to kill him with an invisible divine sense must be the Sect Leader of Liuyun Pavilion.
Liuyun Pavilion wanted to form a marriage alliance with Accumulated Thunder Mountain, but it got interrupted by him, delaying this good event; no wonder the old crone was so angry she wanted to kill him.
The old crone didn’t dare kill Grandmaster Taixu, who had made a heart oath with Fairy Qingxia, nor could she kill Shangguan Zhao’er, the protector of Jing Long Immortal Temple; therefore, she targeted him.
The old monsters of the Immortal Realm who had lived for hundreds of thousands, even millions of years, were indeed ruthless. Without significant means to protect himself, he might have fallen into their traps unknowingly time and again.
It was obvious that the old crone had been scared off by the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.
“So that’s how it is. With her Daluo Golden Immortal cultivation level, she couldn’t see through the origin and quality of the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, so she assumes I have a significant background? Very well, I’ve caught onto her weakness.”
Lu Changsheng was never a brute; on the contrary, he had used his wits time and again to find a way out for himself, and this time, he keenly sensed the weakness of Liuyun Pavilion’s Sect Leader, which was her excessive concern for the interests of Liuyun Pavilion. As long as he pretended to have a significant background, the Sect Leader would hesitate, afraid to act rashly.
Ordinarily, with the cultivation level of Liuyun Pavilion’s Sect Leader, she could easily eliminate a nascent Heavenly Immortal like Lu Changsheng, but now that she had a weakness, Lu Changsheng was no longer afraid of her.
“What’s the matter?”
Shangguan Zhao’er and Grandmaster Taixu both detected a surge of divine sense, and Lu Changsheng stood there, seemingly out of it, oblivious to the fact that he had just been at Ghost Gate Pass.
“It’s nothing, let’s go.”
After identifying the other party’s weakness, Lu Changsheng pretended to be nonchalant and calmly left with Grandmaster Taixu and Shangguan Zhao’er.
Grandmaster Taixu had joined the Immortal Sect Mount Shu created by Lu Changsheng and took over the sect affairs on Lu Changsheng’s behalf, while Lu Changsheng provided cultivation resources.
Although it was somewhat embarrassing to rely on a junior, to quickly advance his cultivation, he had to do so. He could only try to repay this kindness later.
Grandmaster Taixu was cultivating on Tianxuan Mountain while Lu Changsheng returned to Jinglong Mountain to begin cultivating the Quasi-Emperor Tier “Boundless Pure Dao.”
If the “Boundless Pure Dao” reached great accomplishment, then Lu Changsheng believed he wouldn’t be far from the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.
“The ‘Boundless Pure Dao’ leans more towards internal power, I’m still lacking an Emperor-tier Swordsmanship or Martial Technique.”
Lu Changsheng planned to reward a few disciples with sword techniques or martial techniques, to see if the system would return an Emperor-tier sword technique or martial technique.
Currently, the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator can only reward Sacred-tier lower-grade cultivation techniques at best. To return a Quasi-Emperor tier technique, a millionfold return would need to be triggered at least.
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Dugu Aotian with a Sacred-tier lower-grade technique “Demonic Nine Swords,” and received a hundredfold return reward: a Sacred-tier mid-grade technique “Demonic Absolute Sword.”]
A Sacred-tier mid-grade technique?
Lu Changsheng gave a wry smile.
He truly did not covet Sacred-tier mid-grade techniques anymore.
Even the “Cosmic Canon,” a Sacred-tier upper-grade technique, Lu Changsheng could quickly comprehend. What truly held value for Lu Changsheng was an Emperor-tier technique.
However, there’s plenty of time, and Lu Changsheng was not in a rush. As long as he persisted in instructing his disciples, he was certain that he could eventually redeem an Emperor-tier technique.
An Emperor-tier technique could even tempt Qingyue Fairy, the Temple Master of Jing Long Immortal Temple.
In addition to techniques, Lu Changsheng also rewarded magical treasures.
“This Demon Sword is awarded to you by your teacher.”
Lu Changsheng took out a lower-tier Ultimate Treasure level Demon Sword.
“Thank you, Master.”
Dugu Aotian was somewhat surprised. Stay connected with mvl
Not long ago, Master had awarded him a lower-tier Ultimate Treasure, the “Evil Spirit Sword,” and now Master took out another Ultimate Treasure-level Demon Sword.
Does Master have an abundance of magical treasures, as if he ran a Treasure Pavilion?
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Dugu Aotian with the lower-tier Ultimate Treasure “Bloodlight Sword,” and received a hundredfold return reward: a mid-tier Ultimate Treasure “Blood Sea Sword.”]
[Blood Sea Sword: A Demon Sword refined from the blood of ten million beings, capable of eroding the wielder’s very heart. Not suited for use by those other than Great Demon Heads or those with special Demonic Dao constitutions.]
A mid-tier Ultimate Treasure?
Lu Changsheng shook his head; it wasn’t that he looked down upon a mid-tier Ultimate Treasure.
However, having obtained the Immortal Slaying Four Swords and the Immortal Slaying Formation Map, a medium-grade ultimate treasure was no longer so valuable to Lu Changsheng.
Of course, if he were to auction off this Demon Sword, he could exchange it for a batch of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Lu Changsheng then took out another magical treasure from the Demon Sects.
“Ding, you have bestowed upon your disciple Dugu Aotian the lower-tier ultimate treasure ‘Demonic Heaven Bell’, and received the Disciple Apprenticeship Billion-Fold Return Reward: Demon Sects Holy Artifact Fragment×1.”
???
Lu Changsheng unexpectedly obtained a pitch-black fragment of a magical treasure.
“This is also one of the treasures I lack.”
Lu Changsheng, having witnessed the grand fights among the Daluo Golden Immortals for holy artifacts, understood their value.
And Lu Changsheng had advantages that even these Daluo Golden Immortals didn’t have!
As long as he could collect enough fragments, he would be able to merge them into a holy artifact.
There was no need to tediously collect materials for refining a holy artifact, nor to fight bitterly over one emerging into the world; he merely needed to persist in mentoring disciples.
This was truly effortless.
Lu Changsheng currently possessed fragments of the Demon Race’s holy artifacts as well as the Demon Sects’ holy artifacts.
Lu Changsheng immediately rewarded his ninth disciple, Dugu Aotian, with some magical treasures and cultivation techniques, yet he still didn’t find the desired Quasi-Emperor tier cultivation technique.
“This is too difficult, I must stay calm and composed.”
Lu Changsheng persisted in mentoring disciples at Jinglong Mountain.
Eighty years later, as usual, Lu Changsheng bestowed upon his disciple Xiao Fan a swordsmanship — Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Swordsmanship.
The Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Swordsmanship was self-created by Lu Changsheng when he was at the Unity Realm; it was not yet perfected at that time, so its tier was not determined.
Now, Lu Changsheng had perfected the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Swordsmanship to a complete sacred-tier lower-grade swordsmanship.
Lu Changsheng felt that the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Swordsmanship had reached its limits, and there wasn’t room for improvement in the short term, so he had not improved the swordsmanship for a long time, instead directly using existing techniques.
For the first time, Lu Changsheng was imparting the truly sacred-tier lower-grade Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Swordsmanship to a disciple.
Xiao Fan, as the seventh disciple who was admitted earlier, naturally had the opportunity to learn this swordsmanship earlier than Ning Qianqian and Dugu Aotian.
“I wonder what swordsmanship will be returned?”
Lu Changsheng had once imparted the unperfected Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Swordsmanship to Lin Qingzhi, at that time not meeting the requirements for disciple return, but this time he would receive the return.
“Ding, you have bestowed upon your disciple Xiao Fan the sacred-tier lower-grade Cultivation Technique ‘Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Swordsmanship’, and received the Disciple Apprenticeship Million-Fold Return Reward: Quasi-Emperor Tier Technique ‘Sword Scripture of the Divine King Fragment’.”
“‘Sword Scripture of the Divine King Fragment’: A manuscript of the sword scripture scattered by an unknown Divine King from the Immortal Realm, incomplete.”
A fragment of a cultivation technique? Yet it’s a Quasi-Emperor tier swordsmanship?
Lu Changsheng was greatly shocked.
The unknown Divine King who created this swordsmanship was truly terrifying; just the fragmented draft of the technique was determined by the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator to be Quasi-Emperor tier!
Lu Changsheng received a stack of scattered pages, each character on them carrying the intent of the sword, the unknown Divine King having infused his own sword intent within the writing.
“This is too obscure.”
After flipping through a few pages, Lu Changsheng felt a headache coming on.
As expected of a Quasi-Emperor tier cultivation technique, even a person with Innate Taoist Body like Lu Changsheng found it extremely strenuous to practice.
“If I ponder over it alone with no one to guide me, the training will still be too slow. It would be better to show this sword scripture manuscript to my teacher and have her guide me in cultivating it.”
Lu Changsheng thought of Qingyue Fairy.
Lu Changsheng had promised Grandmaster Taixu and Fairy Qingxia that, in thirty thousand years, he must defeat the King of Chaos, who is at the Daluo Golden Immortal stage; therefore, Lu Changsheng also accelerated his training.
Qingyue Fairy, being an outstanding individual among the Daluo Golden Immortals as well as a Sword Immortal, if she could digest this manuscript and then guide Lu Changsheng, he could at least reduce his training time by several times.
Indeed, a good teacher produces capable students.
Lu Changsheng found Qingyue Fairy, “Teacher, your disciple inadvertently obtained a manuscript of sword techniques, please help your disciple comprehend it together.”
