“So, this girl is extremely important to the Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect, which is why they’ve repeatedly tried to obtain her. What exactly is her background?”
Shangguan Zhao’er, skilled in strategy, deduced the importance of Ning Qianqian from the grand efforts of the Divine Lightning Sect.
The Fairy Qingyue of Jing Long Immortal Temple is a Daluo Golden Immortal, and ordinarily, the Divine Lightning Sect would not risk a Daluo Golden Immortal’s retaliation.
However, this time the Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect personally led an attack with a Holy Artifact and the sect’s experts, all for the sake of Ning Qianqian, suggesting she was no ordinary heir to the Dragon Emperor.
“How can the light of a firefly dare to compete with the sun and moon!”
With a cold huff from the Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect, the flame in the palm of his hand grew wildly, the Heaven-Burning Purple Fire raged, and the extreme heat made even the Loose Immortals apprehensive!
“This is one of the Heavenly Fires, the Heaven-Burning Purple Fire…”
The many elders of Jing Long Immortal Temple were stunned into silence.
Both the Daluo Golden Immortal and the Holy Artifact treasure could easily annihilate a group of immortals.
Without a Holy Artifact, Jing Long Immortal Temple would have difficulty resisting the Divine Lightning Sect.
Lu Changsheng scrutinized the bronze lamp in the palm of the Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect, sensing the extremely terrifying power of this Holy Artifact.
Should the Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect fully activate this treasure, Lu Changsheng had no doubt that the bronze lamp could incinerate Jinglong Mountain.
The power of a Holy Artifact was far superior to that of an Ultimate Treasure.
To burn mountains and boil seas was but a thought away.
The Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect coldly stared at Lu Changsheng, “Just hand over your disciple, and I can spare the lives of several hundred thousand members of Jing Long Immortal Temple.”
“And if I refuse?”
Lu Changsheng weighed his options. In a direct confrontation, he was almost certain he couldn’t withstand the Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect wielding a Holy Artifact.
The only hope was that the Temple Master would finish forging a Holy Artifact soon.
“If you refuse, there is only one path left – death.”
The Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect channeled power slightly, and the Heaven-Burning Purple Fire roiled from the bronze lamp, forming a purple flame dragon baring its teeth and claws.
The Heaven-Burning Purple Fire could even break through the indestructible golden body of a Daluo Golden Immortal.
The four protectors of Jing Long Immortal Temple exchanged worried glances. No one could withstand the Holy Artifact of the Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect, and the Supreme Elders of the Divine Lightning Sect were glaring hungrily.
A slip in caution and the people of Jing Long Immortal Temple could hardly escape disaster.
The elders of the Divine Lightning Sect looked down disdainfully at the panicked members of Jing Long Immortal Temple.
Whizz!
Suddenly, accompanied by the sound of a sword cry, a beam of firelight shot into the sky, stirring the sea of clouds!
A terrifying pressure rolled in, causing ripples in the space.
“This is the pressure of a Holy Artifact!”
“How does Jing Long Immortal Temple also have a Holy Artifact?”
The previously arrogant elders of the Divine Lightning Sect changed their expressions drastically.
The Divine Lightning Sect was confident in forcing Jing Long Immortal Temple to hand over the heir of the Dragon Emperor, mostly relying on their Holy Artifact.
But now, Jing Long Immortal Temple also had a Holy Artifact!
“The Temple Master’s treasure has finally been successfully forged.”
“It wasn’t easy. The Temple Master took a whole ninety thousand years to forge this treasure, and now he has finally achieved his wish.”
The people of Jing Long Immortal Temple immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Fairy Qingyue’s cultivation was not inferior to the Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect. If Fairy Qingyue also had a Holy Artifact, then they need not fear the Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect.
The face of the Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect turned iron blue, and his expression was far from pleasant.
He had prepared thoroughly for his visit to Jinglong Mountain to demand a person but never anticipated that Fairy Qingyue, would have forged a Holy Artifact!
“Her talents are truly terrifying, and she is indeed someone who has hope of taking that step.”
The Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect realized he might not be able to take Ning Qianqian with him today.
“Yun Changkong, why must you, a Daluo Golden Immortal, bully a junior of the Dragon Clan?”
The cool voice of Fairy Qingyue resounded.
As the pillar of fire from the forging of the Holy Artifact dissipated, a scarlet sword appeared in her jade hand.
This was the Holy Artifact she had personally forged, and she could fully unleash the power of the scarlet sword.
Although the Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect had seized an emergent Holy Artifact from the Nine Nether Domain, he might not be fully compatible with it.
“Indeed, it is the Holy Artifact you forged. Your talent in crafting is truly surprising; I underestimated you.”
The Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect knew how highly talented Fairy Qingyue was in creating Holy Artifacts. She was already formidable, and now that she had forged a Holy Artifact, if a real fight broke out, he was not at all confident of winning, and the elders of the Divine Lightning Sect would likely lose at least half their number.

For a sect, this was undoubtedly a catastrophe.
Forging a Holy Artifact required a large number of rare materials, and Qingyue Fairy’s ability to gather these smithing materials in a short time exceeded the expectations of the Sect Master of Divine Lightning Sect.
Qingyue Fairy carefully stroked the blade: “This sword shall be named ‘Fireflow’.”
Although Qingyue Fairy’s attention was not on the people of Divine Lightning Sect, the threat was more than evident.
Perhaps Jing Long Immortal Temple’s overall strength did not match that of Divine Lightning Sect, but with a Holy Artifact in hand, and her cultivation of the Quasi-Emperor Tier ‘Boundless Pure Dao’ Cultivation Technique, a fight to the death would leave Divine Lightning Sect with heavy losses as well.
To sacrifice most of the cultivation talents of their sect for the sake of a descendant of the Dragon Emperor was not a worthwhile deal.
The Elders of Divine Lightning Sect swallowed hard, the threat of a Daluo Golden Immortal was no joke.
The Sect Master’s face of Divine Lightning Sect changed unpredictably, and finally, he spoke, “Let’s go.”
The people of Divine Lightning Sect left in a sullen mood.
Before departing, Murong Lan cast an incredulous glance at Xiao Fan, who stood beside Lu Changsheng.
Xiao Fan’s aura was even stronger than hers!
Could it be that Xiao Fan’s realm had surpassed her own?
“Thankfully, the Temple Master forged the Holy Artifact at the last moment, otherwise our Jing Long Immortal Temple would have faced destruction.”
After the departure of the Divine Lightning Sect’s members, the people of Jing Long Immortal Temple finally let out a sigh of relief.
The oppression imposed by the Sect Master of Divine Lightning Sect was immense, it was fortunate that Qingyue Fairy could contend with him.
However, Lu Changsheng did not relax.
Too many wanted to kill him.
The Yellow Springs Sect, Divine Lightning Sect, and Liuyun Pavilion would have loved to tear him into a thousand pieces.
If he continued to cultivate in Jinglong Mountain, with one powerful enemy after another coming for him, Qingyue Fairy and Shangguan Zhao’er might not be able to fully protect him, and might even implicate the sect.
Hence, Lu Changsheng simulated the lives of his disciples for the next thousand years one by one.
[Ding, You have simulated the life of your disciple “Dugu Aotian.”]
[Ding, today’s simulation count -1.]
[Simulation starts:]
[Dugu Aotian follows you to cultivate in Jinglong Mountain.]
[Five hundred years later, Dugu Aotian breaks through to the second level of the Earth Immortal Realm.]
[Eight hundred years later, Jinglong Mountain is attacked, Jing Long Immortal Temple is destroyed, Dugu Aotian is taken away, you are captured.]
[One thousand years later, Dugu Aotian, being manipulated, personally kills you, falls into madness, and his realm breaks through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.]
[Simulation ends.]
“Hiss…”
Lu Changsheng broke out in a cold sweat while simulating the life of his ninth disciple, Dugu Aotian.
According to the system prompt, in eight hundred years, a formidable enemy would attack Jing Long Immortal Temple, leading to the complete destruction of the sect.
“Could it be that Dugu Aotian’s father learned of his whereabouts and thus annihilated Jing Long Immortal Temple? If that’s the case, I cannot continue to cultivate on Jinglong Mountain during this period.”
Lu Changsheng discovered that Dugu Aotian’s background was even more terrifying than he had imagined, to be able to annihilate an Immortal Sect like Jing Long Immortal Temple effortlessly.
Lu Changsheng changed the conditions, left Jinglong Mountain, and traveled to other places, simulating his disciple’s life again.
According to the simulation results, if he left Jinglong Mountain, Jing Long Immortal Temple would not be affected.
“Master, the enemies I’ve provoked are too powerful. Continuing to cultivate on Jinglong Mountain will surely bring endless troubles. Hence, I wish to temporarily leave Jinglong Mountain, to gain experience in various places in the Immortal Realm, and at the same time, seek opportunities to expand my knowledge and comprehend the Dao.
Once my cultivation greatly improves, I will return to Jinglong Mountain.”
Having made up his mind, Lu Changsheng informed Qingyue Fairy.
Lu Changsheng publicly announced his departure from Jinglong Mountain, also as a measure to protect Jing Long Immortal Temple.
The Immortal Realm is boundless and vast. As long as Lu Changsheng constantly erased his own traces and had the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator to roughly predict the future and avoid danger, even someone with a significant background would not necessarily be able to locate him.
“I understand.”
Qingyue Fairy vaguely sensed that if Lu Changsheng continued to stay in Jinglong Mountain, there might well be a great disaster. Thus, his temporary departure was also a good thing.
“Junior brother…”
Upon hearing that Lu Changsheng was leaving, Shangguan Zhao’er felt somewhat dazed.
“When I return, I’ll spar with senior sister again.”
Lu Changsheng smiled faintly.
This departure from Jinglong Mountain, taking a few disciples travelling, he might encounter Xia Ningxue or the disciples from the Mortal Realm. He wondered how they were faring in the Immortal Realm.
