Ginseng fruit is classified as a fourteenth-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, it’s hard to imagine what level of treasure would be returned as a reward for granting Ginseng fruit.
Currently, a few disciples are at the Earth Immortal Realm, being rewarded with fourteenth-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, yet there is no system for returning rewards.
However, there are thirty Ginseng fruits, and the Ginseng Fruit Tree can bear another thirty every nine thousand years, so Lu Changsheng isn’t stingy about it, casually giving each disciple three Ginseng fruits to extend their lifespans.
Xiao Fan and Dugu Aotian knew they were precious items, and actually, eating one was almost enough, but Lu Changsheng still gave each person three, truly not being miserly.
Lu Changsheng himself also ate one.
The Ginseng fruit could not infinitely extend one’s lifespan, and its effectiveness would only diminish over time.
Lu Changsheng’s cultivation speed was incredibly fast, so he truly wasn’t worried about being unable to break through before his lifespan ended.
Eating the Ginseng fruit to extend his lifespan was just to be cautious.
“Besides the Ginseng Fruit Tree, what other treasures might this Daoist Temple possess?”
Lu Changsheng’s Divine Sense swept across the entire Daoist Temple.
Given that this Daoist Temple could be hidden deep underground, away from the sunlight, yet still retain its approximate form, it indicated that there must certainly be some treasure guarding this place.
“What’s this?”
Lu Changsheng’s Divine Sense noticed the only surviving book on the bookshelf of the Daoist Temple.
The Daoist Temple was buried under the ground, surviving countless years. It wasn’t strange that a Heavenly Root like the Ginseng Fruit Tree was still alive, but what kind of book could remain intact?
With a movement of Lu Changsheng’s thoughts, the ancient book on the shelf was pulled by an unseen force and flew into his hand.
The extremely ancient book’s cover bore just two ancient characters—Earth Scripture.
Because Lu Changsheng had cultivated the Quasi-Emperor Tier Cultivation Technique “Boundless Pure Dao,” he had mastered some ancient characters and recognized the name of the ancient book. But Lu Changsheng was still stunned; what kind of book was this?
Earth Scripture?
Was it a cultivation technique or a magical treasure?
Lu Changsheng flipped through it, and the ancient tome was all in ancient characters, some of which even he could not recognize.
Unable to figure it out, Lu Changsheng tossed the strange ancient book named “Earth Scripture” into his inner small world.
Lu Changsheng believed that a book capable of suppressing the Daoist Temple, diving into the earth, and remaining indestructible for eons was certainly no ordinary item.
He searched the ground thoroughly but found no other magical treasure.
“The commotion in the Ancient Heavenly Court relic might attract other strong cultivators. Let’s go.”
Having obtained the Ginseng Fruit Tree and Earth Scripture, Lu Changsheng knew it was not advisable to stay, so he led his disciples away from the Ancient Heavenly Court relic.
Before leaving, Lu Changsheng did not forget to erase his own aura.
Lu Changsheng traveled widely, always cautious, constantly mindful to erase the traces of their presence to avoid being tracked by some great experts.
As they were leaving, Dugu Aotian saw that the Ancient Heavenly Court relic was virtually boundless, with the Southern Heavenly Gate soaring tens of thousands of feet high, piercing the clouds, and he couldn’t help but wonder, “It’s strange, the Ancient Heavenly Court was so magnificent, it must have been filled with strong cultivators back then; why did it fall to this place?”
Xiao Fan interjected, “Indeed, it’s strange. The power needed to explode the Heavenly Court and cause it to fall here must have been exceedingly profound, right?”
They could not imagine what kind of realm the one who had exploded the Ancient Heavenly Court was in.
Those beings from the Ancient Heavenly Court were basically the strongest cultivators in the Immortal Realm, and yet the Ancient Heavenly Court came to such an end.
Lu Changsheng shook his head.
There were very few records about the Ancient Heavenly Court, and Lu Changsheng only knew that it was demolished by a powerful Demon Ancestor with his bare hands.
Lu Changsheng looked toward Dugu Aotian, whose special physique was the Demonic Ancestor Body, wondering if he could grow into such a fearsome being.
If Dugu Aotian also reached the cultivation level to destroy a Heavenly Court in the future, that would be too contrary to the natural order.
When there was a disturbance in the Ancient Celestial Court relic, Lu Changsheng just happened to be nearby in the Moon River Kingdom, thus he was one of the first Loose Cultivators to enter the relic and gain the treasures inside.
After Lu Changsheng and his group left, another squad from the Blood Sea Palace arrived at the Southern Heavenly Gate.
Leading them was an elder in a dark red cloak, holding a Blood Bead in his hand, an extremely terrifying aura that made the surrounding ruins tremble.
“Elder Hanchan’s aura disappeared right here; it seems they have been completely annihilated,” said the elder in the dark red cloak as he infused True Qi into the Blood Bead. The bead’s bloody radiance intensified, and in midair, it formed a blood mirror to trace back through time.
The other Elders and Disciples of the Blood Sea Palace showed fear in their eyes.
The Time Law was a supreme law that only Daluo Golden Immortals could master.
Although it was just tracing back segments of time that had already occurred, for Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals, this was something unreachable.
“The space has been twisted, and the aura has been shielded,” remarked the elder in the dark red cloak.
In the blood mirror, a scene where Lu Changsheng and his disciple killed Elder Hanchan’s squad appeared, only the space was distorted, and Lu Changsheng used talismans to erase their traces, making the images in the blood mirror incredibly blurry and impossible to clearly discern the features of Lu Changsheng and his disciple.
“For some reason, I always feel that this person and I have a karmic bond, why do I have a sense of foreboding?”
The dark red-cloaked old man’s gaze was not fixed on Lu Changsheng, but on Lu Qinglian.
Although he couldn’t make out Lu Qinglian’s features and couldn’t sense her spiritual energy, as a Great Demon Head of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm who had touched upon a sliver of the Dao’s origin, he could faintly perceive karmic ties.
What made him uneasy was not Lu Changsheng, but Lu Changsheng’s second disciple, Lu Qinglian.
“What’s going on? Or is it just my illusion?”
The dark red-cloaked old man was puzzled beyond words, how could a mere Earth Immortal pose a threat to him in the future?
Lu Changsheng found the Daoist Temple with the Earth Scripture and the Ginseng Fruit Tree, as several graceful figures descended, one of whom was stunningly beautiful, with a charm that could topple cities and countries, like a Nine Heavens Fairy. Find exclusive stories on M V L
“Eh?”
“Junior Sister, what’s wrong?”
“For some reason, it feels like there’s a familiar energy.”
“Strange, this place has been devoid of life for a long time, how could there be any energy? It must be your misperception, Junior Sister.”
“Perhaps.”
The exceptionally beautiful and icy woman flicked her long silken hair, carefully investigating the surroundings of the Daoist Temple, and indeed found no trace of anyone.
The group of women searched the Daoist Temple thoroughly, only to find nothing at all.
The entire Daoist Temple was empty.
One of the senior sisters said, “Impossible, this Daoist Temple has hidden beneath the earth and survived countless years undetected by great experts; how can it contain no treasures?”
Another senior sister said, “Could it be that the junior sister’s intuition was correct? Someone has already taken the treasure from within the Daoist Temple ahead of us and deliberately erased their energy before leaving? Junior Sister?”
The breathtakingly beautiful woman flew above the Daoist Temple, frantically scanning the surroundings with her divine sense, her exquisite face showing rare signs of tension.
However, she could no longer detect that familiar energy; instead, a pungent smell of blood wafted from the direction of the Southern Heavenly Gate.
“People from the Blood Sea Palace?”
The beautiful woman frowned.
The familiar energy she was looking for was not from these people of the Blood Sea Palace.
The other fairies left the Daoist Temple and came next to the beautiful woman, “The Demon Chiefs from the Blood Sea Palace have arrived, and since the treasure inside the Daoist Temple has been claimed by others, there is no need for us to have a conflict with the Blood Sea Palace, Junior Sister, let us go.”
The beautiful woman nodded, “Mm.”
…
After Lu Changsheng left, he was not aware of what had happened at the Ancient Heavenly Court relic.
“Master, where are we going next?”
“Continue to gain experience, for your master has also promised someone else a matter.”
Lu Changsheng had not forgotten about Grandmaster Taixu’s and Fairy Qingxia’s matter.
He had promised Grandmaster Taixu and Fairy Qingxia that in thirty thousand years, he would defeat the King of Chaos of Accumulated Thunder Mountain.
Three thousand years had passed, only one-tenth of the time.
Lu Changsheng still had twenty-seven thousand years to break through to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.
Between Heavenly Immortal and Daluo Golden Immortal, there was the Half-Step Great Luo realm, a long and arduous journey.
“Master, Lian hasn’t received Power-infusing Initiation from you for a long time.”
Lu Qinglian somewhat missed receiving Lu Changsheng’s transmission of power.
With master’s teachings, one didn’t have to work hard to absorb spiritual energy.
As per tradition, Lu Changsheng provided Power-infusing Initiation to Lu Qinglian, whose realm was not low.
Without Lu Changsheng’s Power-infusing Initiation, and through her travels, Lu Qinglian still managed to maintain a seventh-level Earth Immortal Realm, which somewhat surprised Lu Changsheng.
This disciple truly was out of the ordinary.
“Lian’s chest feels so hot…”
Suddenly, Lu Qinglian frowned; she discovered that the lotus seed she held had become scorching hot.
This was the seed she had obtained from the Earth Fire at Fire Lotus Peak.
