Lu Changsheng had no interest in the treasures of the Treasure Pavilion.
With the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, Lu Changsheng could turn low-level materials into high-level materials.
From now on, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t need to spend sect contribution at the Treasure Pavilion to exchange for materials; a simple word to Zhao Wuyan would suffice.
Within the power scope of Mount Shu, various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures would also be produced, such as the Yan Stone from Unparalleled City, ensuring a continuous supply for the Treasure Pavilion.
The Sect Leader and a group of Elders do not need to spend time personally collecting various cultivation resources and can focus on cultivation; this is the advantage of being in a sect.
However, when the sect is in trouble or a disciple is bullied, the Sect Leader and Elders need to step forward.
“Am I to manage the Treasure Pavilion?”
Zhao Wuyan couldn’t believe that Lu Changsheng would entrust him to manage the Treasure Pavilion, which housed countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Without Lu Changsheng, Zhao Wuyan might not even qualify to ascend to the Immortal Realm, let alone manage the Treasure Pavilion.
The King of Chaos left behind no small number of treasures.
“Elder Brother Zhao, I trust you. As a reward for the time spent managing the Treasure Pavilion, you will receive three times the cultivation resources of the Supreme Elders every month.”
“Three times! Rest assured, Junior Brother, I will definitely keep the Treasure Pavilion in perfect order from now on.”
Zhao Wuyan knew his talent wasn’t high, and Junior Brother Lu was giving him so many treasures, aiming to boost his cultivation through various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
In this way, he, Zhao Wuyan, might have the chance to become a Golden Immortal.
“Next is to set up the Mountain Protection Array.”
In the Mortal World of Mount Shu, there is the Zodiac Star Battle Array, and Lu Changsheng considered deploying a Mountain Protection Array in Accumulated Thunder Mountain so that in the face of powerful enemies, the entire sect could leverage its strength to activate the Mountain Protection Array and defend Mount Shu.
Arrays generally use magical treasures as the array’s focal point, as well as Formation Maps and Talismans.
“The Mountain Protection Array needs to withstand the True Qi of several Golden Immortals, two hundred Loose Immortals, and tens of thousands of disciples. The least magical treasure for setting up the array should be a Holy Artifact, preferably a middle-grade Holy Artifact, or even a high-grade one.”
Lu Changsheng has several sets of formations on hand, among which the strongest, the Nine Heavens Sword Formation, isn’t yet complete.
“Right, I have eight Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillars that can form an array set.”
Lu Changsheng remembered he possessed another set of magical treasures.
The eight Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillars, lower-grade Holy Artifacts, each pillar sealed with forty-nine Fire Dragons formed from Samadhi True Fire, and the array could summon a total of three hundred and ninety-two Fire Dragons.
This set of magical treasures was still useful to Lu Changsheng, who could kill a Golden Immortal with it in his hands.
To the average sect, the Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillars would be sufficient for a Mountain Protection Array, but for Mount Shu, it wasn’t enough.
In Lu Changsheng’s vision, the Mountain Protection Array of Mount Shu should at the very least withstand an attack from an Immortal Emperor.
Thus, Lu Changsheng summoned Su Xiaoqi and awarded her the Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillars.
“You must return a set of formations this time.”
Lu Changsheng put his hopes in this round of discipleship.
[Ding, you awarded your disciple Su Xiaoqi with lower-grade Holy Artifact “Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillars,” receiving a 20,000-fold reward return: High-grade Holy Artifact “Eight Desolation Dragon Fire Divine Formation.”]
In Lu Changsheng’s body, eight fiery-colored Daoist Banners appeared, each banner with the pattern of roaring Eight Wastes Fire Dragons.
Besides the eight banners, there was a Formation Map similar to the Mysterious Fire Mirror, but much higher in quality.
These nine magical treasures, each a middle-grade Holy Artifact, collectively formed the Eight Desolation Dragon Fire Divine Formation.
[Eight Desolation Dragon Fire Divine Formation: High-grade Ultimate Treasure, comprised of the Mirror of True Fire of the Eight Wastes Fire Dragon and eight Bahuang Fiery Dragon Law Banners, capable of both defensive Separation Fire barriers and summoning avatars of the Eight Desolation Fire Dragons to annihilate enemies.]
Bestowing the Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillars indeed returned a set of formations, and it was a set of high-grade Holy Artifact level formations!
This set of Mountain Protection Array was incredibly formidable.
With Lu Changsheng’s current cultivation, he couldn’t even activate the Eight Desolation Dragon Fire Divine Formation.
However, this Mountain Protection Array can be activated by the entire Sect of Mount Shu together.
As long as it’s properly designed, Lu Changsheng could assemble the True Qi from the whole Sect to activate the Eight Desolation Dragon Fire Divine Formation and defeat any invading enemies.
Lu Changsheng placed the Mirror of True Fire of the Eight Wastes Fire Dragon on the main peak, while eight Banner of the Eight Wastes Fire Dragon were separately placed on the outermost eight peaks, hoping that the Mountain Protection Array could cover the entire Sect.
Afterward, Lu Changsheng also laid down miniature formations with Talismans around each Banner of the Eight Wastes Fire Dragon, firstly, to protect the artifacts, and secondly, the miniature formations could absorb nature’s spiritual energy to supply the Banner of the Eight Wastes Fire Dragon, keeping the Eight Desolation Dragon Fire Divine Formation in a semi-dormant state. Once a strong enemy invades Mount Shu, the Eight Desolation Dragon Fire Divine Formation could be activated immediately. In the end, the miniature formations were interlinked like the veins of leaves, transferring True Qi among themselves, allowing Lu Changsheng to gather the Elders and Disciples at the main peak and activate the entire Great Formation.
“With a Mountain Protection Array made of nine medium-grade Holy Artifacts and the True Qi provided by several hundreds of thousands of Elders and Disciples from Mount Shu, I’m afraid even an Immortal Emperor would lose a layer of skin if they came here.”
Lu Changsheng had never seen a Great Expert of the Immortal Emperor Realm fully unleash their power and could not deduce their true strength, but he was certain that without his personal intervention, a nine-layered Daluo Golden Immortal would not withstand the Eight Desolation Dragon Fire Divine Formation activated by the concerted effort of several hundred thousand Mount Shu Elders and Disciples.
After organizing the Sect’s structure, the Treasure Pavilion, and the Mountain Protection Array, Lu Changsheng could finally act as a hands-off manager and concentrate on his cultivation.
Lu Changsheng entrusted Grandmaster Taixu with managing the entire Sect and Zhao Wuyan with overseeing the Treasure Pavilion.
As for Grandmaster Tailin, he was diligently cultivating, attempting to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm.
There is a Half-Step Daluo Golden Immortal realm between the Heavenly Immortal Realm and the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.
There is also a Quasi-Emperor realm between the Golden Immortal Realm and the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Advancing from a nine-layered Golden Immortal to a Quasi-Emperor is considered taking half a step.
And it’s also half a step from Quasi-Emperor to Immortal Emperor.
Although it’s just a footstep away, each half step is particularly challenging.
Out of ten Great Accomplishment Golden Immortals, more than half were stuck at the nine-layered Golden Immortal Realm.
Out of ten Quasi-Emperors, the number who could survive the Chaos Heavenly Tribulation was even fewer.
Grandmaster Tailin wasn’t certain that he would definitely enter the Quasi-Emperor realm.
Lu Changsheng provided a batch of treasures specifically for Grandmaster Tailin.
As Lu Changsheng possessed numerous treasures, setting aside a portion, along with Grandmaster Tailin’s talent, would greatly increase his chances of entering the Quasi-Emperor realm.
If Mount Shu produced a Quasi-Emperor, the overall strength of the Sect would become even stronger.
Lu Changsheng also allocated cultivation resources to Grandmaster Taixu, Shangguan Zhao’er, and others who had been helpful to him.
Lu Changsheng had always believed in repaying kindness and avenging grudges.
Of course, once everything was arranged, Lu Changsheng mainly focused on his own cultivation.
Lu Changsheng consumed ten fifteenth-grade Immortal Pills to concoct a Body Tempering Elixir and performed the ninth body tempering per the third layer tempering method of “Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art.”
Once this body tempering was completed, Lu Changsheng would have cultivated the third layer of “Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art,” ready to begin the first body tempering of the fourth layer.
After the distribution of cultivation resources to everyone in Mount Shu, the entire Sect launched into a grand era of cultivation, with every Elder and Disciple striving to practice hard. As their realms improved, so would their positions within the Sect, resulting in more cultivation resources allotted to them!
Because Mount Shu inherited a massive amount of cultivation resources from Accumulated Thunder Mountain and was newly established, Lu Changsheng’s allocation of cultivation resources was quite generous, satisfying the Elders and Disciples.
Lu Qinglian, Xiao Fan, Ning Qianqian, and Dugu Aotian, several Disciples in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, were close to the Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
As Mount Shu prospered, several cultivators cloaked in dark red capes quietly arrived at Divine Lightning Sect.
Murong Lan was seeking instruction on cultivation techniques from the Sect Master when she saw these few guests casually breaking into the sacred ground of Divine Lightning Sect. They all exuded an unpleasant stench of blood, prompting Murong Lan to frown.
“My teacher has matters to discuss with them, you may leave now.”
“Yes.”
The Sect Master of Divine Lightning Sect spoke, and Murong Lan left.
But as Murong Lan exchanged glances with these dark red-caped Elders, their cold and cruel gazes sent shivers down her spine.
After leaving the hall, Murong Lan was still guessing the identities of the visitors, “These people clearly practice Demonic Cultivation Skills, why would our Sect Master be associating with people from the Demon Sects? Our Divine Lightning Sect is supposedly an Orthodox Sect…”
Inside the hall, the Sect Master of Divine Lightning Sect stood up, “Blood Demon Ancestor, I am aware of the whereabouts of the Dragon Emperor’s descendant. If we join forces to capture this girl, we can share the Dragon Emperor’s Blood equally.”
