Lu Changsheng put away the Zixiao Immortal Sword and exited the battle simulation.
With the Zixiao Immortal Sword, Lu Changsheng felt more confident about dealing with the King of Chaos.
Lu Changsheng, exerting his full power to wield the Zixiao Immortal Sword, could maintain it for a maximum duration of a tea time.
Lu Changsheng took note of this time limit.
Once the battle exceeded this duration, it would become exceedingly perilous for Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng continued to mentor his disciples in their cultivation at Jingyun Peak.
It had been over eight hundred years since Daoist Yuxuan left Jingyun Peak without any news, and Lu Changsheng was acting as the interim Peak Master.
Nothing significant had happened at Jingyun Peak in the past eight hundred years, since not many dared to provoke Zhengsheng Sect.
Suddenly, Sect Leader Qingyangzi came to Jingyun Peak.
“Does the Sect Leader have any instructions?”
Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised; Qingyangzi seldom came to seek him out.
If Qingyangzi was visiting now, it must mean there was a serious matter at hand.
Qingyangzi looked solemn, “Daoist Yuxuan has encountered trouble.”
“Please, Sect Leader, elaborate.”
“Daoist Yuxuan went to the Nether Sea with the Holy Land of Tai Hua and got stranded on an island called Gusang Island. The Holy Land of Tai Hua is assembling several Immortal Sects to form a second team to rescue those trapped on Gusang Island. I plan to have Daoist Luo Yu of Azure Dragon Peak lead the team to Gusang Island. The Holy Land of Tai Hua will also send people. Would you like to join this team? If successful, there will be rewards from the Holy Land of Tai Hua.”
“The Nether Sea?”
Lu Changsheng was inwardly shocked.
The Nether Sea was one of the forbidden lands of the Immortal Realm, situated in the far north, shrouded in darkness.
He had not expected Daoist Yuxuan and the team from the Holy Land of Tai Hua to have gone to the Nether Sea.
Considering the timeline, Daoist Yuxuan might have been trapped in the Nether Sea for hundreds of years.
“I can join.”
After a moment of thought, considering Daoist Yuxuan was a senior from Mount Shu and had a good character, Lu Changsheng, if able to assist, naturally wanted to help.
The Holy Land of Tai Hua personally assembling a team to venture to Gusang Island surely was no ordinary matter.
Having newly acquired the Zixiao Immortal Sword and possessing many other life-saving means, Lu Changsheng saw it fit to go out and gain some experience.
“Time is of the essence. Prepare your talismans, elixir pills, and meet at my Great Luo Palace in three days.”
Qingyangzi gave Lu Changsheng three days to prepare before departing.
“Daoist Yuxuan’s realm is even higher than mine, and he has been trapped in the Nether Sea. This indicates even Daluo Golden Immortals are in danger. If disciples of the Heavenly Immortal Realm were to go to the Nether Sea, it would be too risky, and I would have to divide my attention to look after them. It’s better to just take Su Xiaoqi with me to the Nether Sea.”
Among his disciples, Su Xiaoqi, nearly at the Daluo Golden Immortal level with her Body of Nothingness capable of hiding her presence, could protect herself without needing his extra care. Moreover, she had inherited his Slaying Immortal Sword Formation and was outstanding among those at the Half-Step Great Luo level.
“Xiaoqi, come with your master on a trip.”
Lu Changsheng sent a message to Su Xiaoqi, asking her to accompany him to the Nether Sea.
“The Nether Sea? Master, what are you planning to do?”
Su Xiaoqi was aware of the Nether Sea, a treacherous forbidden area of the Immortal Realm.
“We will be joining people from the Holy Land of Tai Hua. A group of cultivators has been trapped there, and we are to rescue them.”
“Understood.”
Su Xiaoqi nodded.
Having received many benefits from Lu Changsheng, it was natural for her to lend her aid when her master needed help.
Three days later, Lu Changsheng, accompanied by Su Xiaoqi, appeared at the summit of the main peak of Zhengsheng Sect in the Great Luo Palace. Explore more stories with empire
Aside from Sect Leader Qingyangzi, there were also Daoist Luo Yu, the Peak Master of Azure Dragon Peak, Daoist Xuancheng, the Peak Master of Tianyan Peak, and Star Sword Daoist, the chief disciple of Zhengsheng Sect – all three of them Daluo Golden Immortals.
Daoist Luo Yu and Daoist Xuancheng were surprised to see Lu Changsheng descend from the mountain for the mission with a disciple they had never seen before.
This mission was issued by the Holy Land of Tai Hua, and all the sects under it had to follow the Holy Land of Tai Hua’s arrangements.
Of course, if they could perfectly accomplish the task assigned by the Holy Land of Tai Hua, the subordinate sects would also receive corresponding rewards.
“Daoist Yuxuan’s cultivation level is not low. Those who went to the Nether Sea with him are all Daluo Golden Immortal-level powerhouses whose strength is not much inferior to Yuxuan. The leader of that group was even a Great Accomplished Daluo Golden Immortal from the Holy Land of Tai Hua. They still got stranded in the Nether Sea and had to use talismans to call for help from the Holy Land. This time, as you descend the mountain, you must be extremely cautious.”
“Head to Qiyun Ridge first and assemble with the people from the Holy Land of Tai Hua.”
Before the party set off on their mission, Qingyangzi repeatedly admonished them.
“Yes!”
The Daluo Golden Immortals and their disciples summoned their Flying Swords and tore through the sky.
This was the first time Lu Changsheng had left Zhengsheng Sect since he began his cultivation there.
A group of Daluo Golden Immortals moving together, along with the Daluo Golden Immortals from the Holy Land of Tai Hua, meant that even if the seven Great Demons knew Lu Changsheng had left Zhengsheng Sect, they likely wouldn’t dare to pursue and attack him.
Lu Changsheng was doing a task for the Holy Land of Tai Hua this time; if they targeted him, it would be akin to offending the Holy Land of Tai Hua.
At Qiyun Ridge, a group of powerful cultivators had already gathered following the commands of the Holy Land of Tai Hua.
As Lu Changsheng and his party landed, everyone instinctively turned to look at them.
“They are from Zhengsheng Sect.”
“It seems that Zhengsheng Sect has also been asked by the Holy Land of Tai Hua to contribute.”
These mighty cultivators, each with an aura as fierce as dragons or tigers, left Lu Changsheng and Su Xiaoqi somewhat stunned.
These powerful individuals likely came from the Immortal Sects under the Holy Land of Tai Hua.
The Holy Land of Tai Hua, true to its status as a Holy Land level force, could mobilize so many Daluo Golden Immortals with a single decree.
“Wind Sword Sect, Huazhoulou, Carefree Villa…”
Daoist Luo Yu, the leader of the Zhengsheng Sect team, recognized these strong individuals from other powerful Immortal Sects one by one.
