Jiang Yue Fairy’s eyes turned sharp.
The man before her was perhaps too clever, having guessed the gist of the matter without knowing anything about it.
“It seems my guess was not wrong. Go back and tell your Palace Master that if I ever become the Qing Emperor, Guanghan Holy Land will regret what it did today.”
Knowing that Guanghan Holy Land did not welcome him, and realizing that staying any longer would be futile, Lu Changsheng left a harsh message and left with Daoist Earth Hound.
In the Immortal Realm, strength is supreme. If Guanghan Holy Land forbade his entry, then he would force his way in with his strength in the future!
“Do you really think you are some great figure?”
“Does he have the strength to oppose our Guanghan Holy Land?”
“He’s delusional.”
Jiang Yue Fairy and the disciples of Guanghan Holy Land couldn’t help but mock, not taking Lu Changsheng’s threat seriously.
The strength of Guanghan Holy Land was far beyond the reach of a mere Golden Immortal.
In the Guanghan Immortal Palace, Xia Ningxue knelt before the Guanghan Palace Master, her eyes brimming with tears, and the other disciples stepped forward to defend their junior sister.
“Master, our junior sister made a vow with that man in the Little Thousands World. Now to let them meet once more, what harm would it do?”
“I think that man has the cultivation of a Golden Immortal and possesses good talent; why not let him join our Guanghan Holy Land?”
The third senior sister, in particular, helped Xia Ningxue to stand up from kneeling before the master and wiped her tears away.
Xia Ningxue knew that Lu Changsheng was just outside the gate, but she could not meet him, her heart broken in agony, eliciting pity even from her third senior sister.
“Shut up, do you want to betray your Sect?”
The Guanghan Palace Master’s face was frosty, and with a single rebuke, the disciples immediately fell silent, quiet as a flock of startled birds.
In the end, the Guanghan Palace Master sighed faintly, “It is not that I forbid their meeting, it is an order from the Ancestor.”
“The Ancestor…”
The disciples, upon recalling the supreme existence of Guanghan Holy Land, couldn’t help but look up in reverence.
The lifespan of the Ancestor was unfathomable and her seniority overshadowed that of the Palace Master, her cultivation profound and inscrutable.
When the Ancestor spoke, even the Palace Master had to obey.
“Her end is nearing, and before it arrives, she wishes to pass on the Power-infusing Initiation and instruct you in the complete cultivation of ‘Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art’. Before you become an Immortal Emperor, you must not leave the Holy Land, nor allow your feelings to hinder the cultivation of ‘Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art’.”
Once the Palace Master explained, the many disciples, amidst their shock, cast envious glances at Xia Ningxue.
They were astonished that the Ancestor, with such profound cultivation, had still reached her end, indicating that her skills were at their zenith, yet even she could not take the final step.
Envious, because Xia Ningxue was chosen by the Ancestor, granted the opportunity for Power-infusing Initiation, and could cultivate the complete ‘Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art’.
However, Xia Ningxue was not excited but spoke coldly, “Before I become an Immortal Emperor, I may stay within the Holy Land, but I’d like my third senior sister to deliver a letter to Lu. If the master does not agree, I will sever my own cultivation.”
“This…”
The Guanghan Palace Master had not expected Xia Ningxue to be so deeply in love.
Those who cultivate often meditate in seclusion and have long become indifferent to worldly desires; Xia Ningxue, who practiced one of Guanghan Holy Land’s Sect-Defending Skills, the ‘Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art’, still harbored a deep yearning for Lu Changsheng.
The rest of the disciples were also shocked.
Xia Ningxue, already the Holy Maiden of Guanghan Holy Land, with a status above millions, was considering suicide for the sake of Lu Changsheng.
What charm did this man named Lu Changsheng possess?
With a headache, the Guanghan Palace Master rubbed her temples before finally nodding in agreement.
Xia Ningxue was currently the most talented disciple of Guanghan Holy Land, the future Sect Leader. If she were to fall midway, it would be a colossal loss for Guanghan Holy Land.
Xia Ningxue handed a letter to her closest third senior sister, “Third senior sister, please.”
“Mhm.”
The third senior sister summoned her Immortal Sword and engaged in Sword Flight, leaving Guanghan Holy Land to chase after the departed Lu Changsheng.
…
As Lu Changsheng and Daoist Earth Hound left Guanghan Holy Land, the Earth Hound Daoist complained all the way, “I’ve heard that the old woman who’s the Palace Master of Guanghan used to be madly in love with a Holy Son candidate from Yaochi Holy Land. She went through life and death for him, but in the end, he chose the Holy Maiden of Yaochi Holy Land at that time. Since then, the Palace Master has changed, no longer believing in love. I bet she’s envious of master and madam’s relationship, that’s why she’s acting as a matchbreaker…”
Initially gloomy, Lu Changsheng’s mood lifted a bit upon hearing Daoist Earth Hound’s rant, “If the Palace Master knew you called her an old woman, she might serve dog meat tonight.”
“Heh heh, now that I’ve found a master, I’m not afraid of that old woman after I start cultivating with the master.”
Although the Daoist Earth Hound said so, he was still nervously looking around, afraid that the Palace Master of Guanghan might be nearby.
The master of Guanghan Holy Land, with cultivation that reaches the heavens, would surely not tolerate being called an old woman to her face, unless someone was tired of living.
Lu Changsheng began to think about his future plans.
The strength of a Golden Immortal would definitely not be enough to make Guanghan Holy Land compromise.
If he became an Immortal Emperor and cultivated the “Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art” to Great Perfection, perhaps he could make the Holy Land wary of him.
“With the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator in hand, if I can train all my disciples to become Immortal Emperors, and I bring a group of Immortal Emperors to trouble Guanghan Holy Land…”
Lu Changsheng had always believed in not offending others unless offended, and if someone offended him, he would retaliate in kind.
Since Guanghan Holy Land had offended him, he naturally would not let the matter rest.
All his disciples possessed the talent to become Immortal Emperors; ten disciples meant ten Immortal Emperors!
As long as the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator could still return treasures, Lu Changsheng was confident he could make Mount Shu surpass the Holy Land!
As Lu Changsheng was contemplating this, a streak of light caught up to them.
A woman carrying an Immortal Sword appeared, “Hold on, you are Lu Changsheng, aren’t you?”
She curiously observed the young man her little junior sister had been constantly thinking of.
Indeed, he was exceptionally handsome.
“Who are you?”
“I’m Zhi Jin, the third senior sister of Xia Ningxue. She asked me to deliver a letter to you.”
With that, she took out a letter.
Lu Changsheng received the letter, which had a faint fragrance to it.
“Lu, seeing this letter is like seeing you…”
Xia Ningxue’s graceful handwriting briefly explained the situation and timidly expressed her longing feelings.
From Xia Ningxue’s letter, Lu Changsheng learned three things.
First, Xia Ningxue’s feelings for him had not changed.
Second, an Ancestor of Guanghan Holy Land was nearing the end of their lifespan and was about to give her the Power-infusing Initiation and the complete “Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art,” on the condition that she was strictly forbidden from leaving the Holy Land.
Third, Xia Ningxue would be able to see him as soon as she reached the Immortal Emperor Realm.
After reading Xia Ningxue’s letter, Lu Changsheng did not feel relieved.
The third senior sister said, “With the junior sister’s talent, it won’t be long before she reaches the Immortal Emperor Realm. You just need to be patient.”
“What concerns me is not that.”
“Then what is it?”
“The ‘Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art.’
Lu Changsheng had encountered this cultivation technique before.
When practicing the “Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art,” one might have to forsake all emotions and desires.
Lu Changsheng hadn’t expected that the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion’s “Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art” was only an incomplete version, and Guanghan Holy Land possessed the complete art.
Although it was a skill of the Holy Land, Lu Changsheng always felt that this technique was more like Demonic Cultivation Skills.
Moreover, why did the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion have an incomplete version of the “Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art” in the first place?
“The ‘Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art’ is the unique cultivation technique of that Ancestor, and it has become one of the Sect-Defending Skills of our Guanghan Holy Land. With this technique, the Ancestor’s cultivation is strong enough to reach the heavens, so there shouldn’t be any repercussions, right?”
The third senior sister didn’t give it much thought and instead believed that Lu Changsheng was worrying too much.
The Ancestor had carved out a grand path of cultivation, indicating there were no issues.
Lu Changsheng’s brow remained furrowed; the Immortal Realm was more complicated than he had imagined. He wrote a reply and handed it to the third senior sister, “Please ask Fairy Zhi Jin to deliver this reply.”
“If there’s anything in the future, you can pass messages to my junior sister through me.”
The third senior sister took the reply and then returned to Guanghan Holy Land.
“Let’s go back to Mount Shu.”
Now that Lu Changsheng had a way to contact Xia Ningxue, he became even more determined in his pursuit of the Dao.
He planned to turn Mount Shu into the new Holy Land.
