Lin Qinghan arranged for Lu Changsheng and his apprentice to stay at Yuntai Peak.
Although the nature’s spiritual energy of Yuntai Peak was not as good as that of Luoyan Peak, it was still considered a Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
“Elder Duan, lead them to Yuntai Peak,” she said.
“Yes.”
Elder Duan took Lu Changsheng and his apprentice away.
Lu Changsheng was highly talented, but Lin Qinghan did not expect him to be of much help to Tai Hua Holy Land.
She was the foremost person among the younger generation disciples of Tai Hua Holy Land, with exceptional talent. Improving her own cultivation was the only way to deal with the possible upheavals that could unfold.
Elder Duan led Lu Changsheng and his apprentice to Yuntai Peak, which housed hundreds of palaces and Daoist Temples, although they had long been desolate, with moss thriving on the steps.
“Yuntai Peak was originally the residence of Qingyang Immortal Emperor. Qingyang Immortal Emperor was a Direct Disciple of the Saint Lord and also one of the candidates for Holy Son. Four million years ago, Qingyang Immortal Emperor disappeared and Yuntai Peak has been in decline ever since. However, the Saint Lord, whenever he thinks of this disciple, feels quietly sorrowful; that’s why Yuntai Peak has never been assigned to anyone else for cultivation and has remained desolate until now.”
“You have a favor to repay to the Holy Maiden, so assigning Yuntai Peak to you for cultivation is also the Saint Lord’s intention.”
“I will arrange a thousand attendants to help you manage Yuntai Peak,” Elder Duan said.
Elder Duan had everything well organized.
Though he was a Daluo Golden Immortal of the ninth layer, he was merely in charge of managing the attendants, which indicated the strength of Tai Hua Holy Land.
It’s astonishing that Tai Hua Saint Lord had cultivated a disciple that reached the Immortal Emperor Realm.
The disappearance of Qingyang Immortal Emperor was a significant blow to Tai Hua Saint Lord, causing Yuntai Peak to lie in desolation for four million years.
To have cultivated an Immortal Emperor Realm disciple four million years ago, it’s difficult to imagine the current realm of the Tai Hua Saint Lord.
But even so, the Tai Hua Saint Lord had not reached the realm of Longevity, for even the Ancestor who established Tai Hua Holy Land had long since perished.
“Elder Duan, may I know where the Scripture Pavilion and Treasure Pavilion are located?”
Lu Changsheng speculated that Tai Hua Holy Land might have some special Cultivation Techniques or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and decided to take a look.
Elder Duan’s eyes widened in astonishment.
How could this guy, having just joined Tai Hua Holy Land, be coveting the treasures of the Scripture Pavilion and Treasure Pavilion?
Wasn’t this like inviting a wolf into the house?
“Ahem, the Scripture Pavilion is at Wenzhao Peak, and the Treasure Pavilion is at Tianbao Peak. However, the contribution points needed to exchange for Cultivation Techniques and treasures are not a small number,” Elder Duan said.
Still, Elder Duan revealed the locations of the Scripture Pavilion and Treasure Pavilion.
“Thank you, Elder Duan,” Lu Changsheng said.
Lu Changsheng wasn’t concerned about contribution points at all.
Lu Changsheng could easily barter with goods, offering treasures and Cultivation Techniques in exchange for other treasures and techniques.
…
At Denglong Peak, Jiang Yu returned to his dwelling and summoned a Golden Immortal, “You are skilled in tracking. Keep a close watch on that youngster we encountered earlier.”
“Yes.”
After acknowledging the order, the Golden Immortal vanished from the spot.
“Why has someone joined our Tai Hua Holy Land at this time? Moreover, this person was invited by Lin Qinghan. He must not ruin my plans, or else, he shall not be spared,” Jiang Yu’s eyes flashed coldly.
Lin Qinghan belonged to the direct lineage of Tai Hua Holy Land. If he could win her over, his status in Tai Hua Holy Land would become unshakably firm, and he might even take control of it.
The appearance of Lu Changsheng was undoubtedly a potential threat.
…
In the back mountains of Tai Hua Holy Land, the Tai Hua Saint Lord appeared.
“Honored Ancestors, you are adept in the art of divination. I have some doubts that I hope you Ancestors can help clarify,” he said.
Several voices came from the back mountain, as though originating from the Desolate Ancient.
“Lin Xuantong, your comprehension of the Time Law is close to ours. Apart from the few secrets of fate, is there anything else that you can’t deduce?”
“What exactly is this top-secret fate that you are trying to divine?”
“Speak out, and we shall deduce it together.”
The voices of these Ancestors of Tai Hua Holy Land, though not physically present, manifested in Lin Xuantong’s mind.
“Yes. I have met a junior, a Loose Cultivator with extremely high potential. I even believe his potential is not inferior to that of my daughter, Lin Qinghan.”
“Your daughter is the most talented among the younger generation in our Tai Hua Holy Land. Have you truly encountered a Loose Cultivator whose talent matches hers?”
“Could it be that you failed to deduce his Qi Destiny, and that is why you have come to us?”
“The ancestors weren’t wrong; I came to consult you because I got nothing when I tried to divine his Qi Destiny,”
“Indeed, if this person is involved in a great fortune, it would be difficult to deduce his Qi Destiny.”
“Not only that, but when I tried to divine his Qi Destiny, I found that his fate was completely blank, which is truly bizarre.”
“How is that possible?!”
The ancestors were shocked almost simultaneously!
They had cultivated for countless years and had never seen anyone with a blank fate!
No wonder Lin Xuantong, whose grasp of the Time Law was on par with theirs, could not determine the other’s Qi Destiny.
“Could this person have been possessed? I’ve heard that in ancient times, there was a special technique for possession…”
One of the ancestors suggested a possibility.
“Impossible, even if possessed, it’s impossible to step outside the bounds of the Three Realms, to be outside the five elements.”
Another ancestor dismissed his idea.
Possession does not mean having a blank fate.
“Strange, this is really strange.”
“Could there really be such a person in the world?”
“Perhaps he has used some secret technique to conceal his own fate to prevent it from being deduced by powerful enemies?”
“Why don’t we join forces to divine his fate?”
“Good.”
After being stirred by these revelations, the ancestors appeared and joined Lin Xuantong in attempting to divine Lu Changsheng’s fate.
These peerless powerhouses, with cultivation reaching the heavens, exerted themselves to the utmost, sweating profusely and drenching their Daoist Robes, as they worked to divine Lu Changsheng’s Qi Destiny.
After a long while, the supreme powerhouses ended their efforts, and their gazes were full of shock.
Lin Xuantong was not wrong; Lu Changsheng’s fate was a complete blank, with no past and no future, making it impossible to deduce.
This also meant that no one could trace Lu Changsheng’s origin or predict his future. It was difficult to lay plans to kill him.
“This child has indeed stepped beyond the confines of the Three Realms, not within the five elements.”
The ancestors reached the same conclusion.
They were dumbfounded, was there really such an existence?
“In legend, at the dawn of heaven and earth, there was a Chaos Race born with the cosmos. Could he be from the Chaos Race?”
“Impossible, his aura is undeniably human, this is truly strange.”
The ancestors guessed all possibilities but ultimately could only shake their heads.
This matter exceeded their understanding.
In the end, one of the ancestors said, “Lin Xuantong, with this person’s obscure origins, how do you plan to deal with him?”
Lin Xuantong answered, “The destiny of heaven has changed; this person may be a variable. I plan to take him as a disciple and make him a candidate for the Holy Son of our Holy Land. What do the ancestors think?”
“This…”
The ancestors hesitated.
With Lu Changsheng’s mysterious origin, making him one of the candidates for the Holy Son, before the shifting of heaven’s destiny was unpredictable.
However, this person was indeed odd, and if he became a pillar of strength for the Tai Hua Holy Land in the future, it would prove Lin Xuantong had foresight.
One impulsive ancestor said, “Our Tai Hua Holy Land has many strong cultivators, we do not need someone with an unclear background to be a candidate for the Holy Son. He could bring us hope or disaster.”
Another ancestor said, “Jiang Hong, you are not right. Let Lin Xuantong take him as his disciple and observe his future conduct. If he acts wickedly, we can simply cripple him. He’s just a minor Golden Immortal, we can kill him before he commits evil.”
“That makes sense.”
The ancestors, after deliberation, agreed with Lin Xuantong’s proposal.
“Lin Xuantong, if you take him as a disciple, you must keep a close watch on him. As the Saint Lord of our Tai Hua Holy Land, you should always prioritize the interests of our Holy Land.”
Having spoken, the ancestors vanished like a few gusts of wind.
“Is this child a blessing or a curse for our Tai Hua Holy Land? I can only take a gamble. Come to think of it, ever since Qingyang disappeared, it has been a long time since I took a disciple.”
Lin Xuantong always considered Lu Changsheng to be a variable.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng had already arrived at the Scripture Pavilion of the Tai Hua Holy Land, eager to explore.
The Scripture Pavilion of the Tai Hua Holy Land stood nine hundred feet tall, housing billions of books.
As Lu Changsheng arrived at the Scripture Pavilion, his eyes lit up as if he had discovered a trove of treasures.
