Chapter 393 Becoming a Candidate for the Holy Son! (4K)_2

“`

“Great Perfection.”

Lin Xuantong was momentarily stunned.

Lu Changsheng was still a Golden Immortal; could he have cultivated a Quasi-Emperor tier cultivation technique to Great Perfection?

“You and my foremost disciple are very similar, both of you are geniuses among geniuses. He, too, reached Great Perfection in a Quasi-Emperor tier cultivation technique while still at the Golden Immortal Realm.”

“I will impart to you a technique from the Tai Hua Holy Land, an Emperor Tier Cultivation Technique—’True Solar Fire Yuan Skills’.”

As Lin Xuantong activated his divine skills, the great hall seemed to fall into an endless sea of fire.

Lin Xuantong’s cultivation touched the heavens, with just a slight demonstration of the technique he displayed power capable of destroying worlds.

“This technique is one of the unique skills of our Tai Hua Holy Land. If multiple people join forces to use this technique, its power can stack infinitely. The True Solar Fire is boundless. The Holy Son, Holy Maiden, as well as Holy Son and Holy Maiden Candidates, along with Immortal Emperors, all are qualified to cultivate the ‘True Solar Fire Yuan Skills’.”

“If you two encounter stronger enemies in the future, you can join forces using this technique to defeat them.”

“I will first impart to you the first layer.”

Lin Xuantong was also starting to guide his daughter in the cultivation of this ultimate technique from the Tai Hua Holy Land.

Conveniently, with both daughter and disciple learning together, Lin Xuantong also saved some time on teaching the disciple.

Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan cultivated together.

One month later, Lu Changsheng had fully comprehended the first layer.

After one month and five additional days, Lin Qinghan had also fully comprehended the first layer.

“This lad, his talent surpasses even my daughter’s, quite astonishing indeed. Such a monstrous existence, I truly don’t know whether taking him as a disciple was right or wrong.”

Lin Xuantong muttered to himself.

Lu Changsheng at the sixth layer of Golden Immortal, comprehended Emperor Tier techniques faster than Qinghan, who was at the Quasi-Emperor level. So fast that it even scared Lin Xuantong a bit.

Lin Xuantong then imparted to Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan the second layer of the technique.

Lu Changsheng took six months, while Lin Qinghan took seven months.

With a master as unfathomably powerful as Lin Xuantong to guide him in technique cultivation, and with his Innate Taoist Body, Lu Changsheng’s cultivation speed was exceedingly fast.

Lu Changsheng even took out the ‘Sword Scripture of the Divine King’ for Lin Xuantong to help comprehend.

With Lin Xuantong’s level of cultivation, he could easily understand the whole ‘Sword Scripture of the Divine King’. Guiding Lu Changsheng in its cultivation was naturally a breeze.

Lin Xuantong was greatly shocked upon receiving the scripture, “This is a manuscript from an ancient period by a swordsman known as the Yuan Tian Divine King. How did you come by this technique?”

The Yuan Tian Divine King?

Lu Changsheng did not expect this technique, returned by the system, to be so significant and had to make up an excuse on the spot, “The disciple stumbled upon it during his travels.”

Lin Xuantong did not inquire further, “It’s a shame this is just an early manuscript of the Yuan Tian Divine King, otherwise it would be invaluable. I will guide your cultivation of this technique in the days ahead. Since Han’er is also here, let’s practice swordsmanship together. The two of you are to meet at Qifeng Peak every day.”

“Yes.”

Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan exchanged glances. It seemed Lin Xuantong planned to have them cultivate the same technique, so there was no need for one-by-one training anymore.

They really did become senior sister and junior brother.

As per Lin Xuantong’s rules, they both had to be at Qifeng Peak from dawn to midday every day to practice with Lin Xuantong.

For someone of Lin Xuantong’s status to spend three hours a day guiding disciples in cultivation was something many people could only dream of.

Lin Xuantong himself needed to cultivate, so for the rest of the time, Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan practiced on their own.

“Now that I have the status of Holy Son Candidate, I can access the 51st to the 79th floors of the Scripture Pavilion and even exchange for Emperor Tier cultivation techniques.”

“Of the many great daos, the Time Great Dao is the most difficult. If I could exchange for a technique of the Time Law, that would be most advantageous.”

Although Lin Xuantong would guide his cultivation, which technique to impart was ultimately up to him.

Lu Changsheng still hoped to have control over his own fate.

Lu Changsheng’s disciples also needed techniques suitable for them.

Lu Changsheng’s Innate Taoist Body allowed him to cultivate most techniques, which is why Lin Xuantong decided to train disciple and daughter together, cutting the teaching time in half.

Lu Changsheng’s disciples were different.

When Lu Changsheng arrived at the Scripture Pavilion, the elders and disciples there all looked at him differently.

Lu Changsheng’s status as a Direct Disciple of the Saint Lord, designated as the third Holy Son Candidate, had already spread throughout the Tai Hua Holy Land and caused quite a stir.

“May I know what techniques Daoist Changsheng is in need of?”

The Scripture Pavilion Elder personally came out to meet him.

Lu Changsheng glanced briefly; this elder was at the Great Accomplishment Golden Immortal level.

“`

“I’m just looking around.”

“Please do.”

It seems that being a candidate for Holy Son isn’t too bad, even the Elders of the Scripture Pavilion are quite polite to me.

“Daoist Changsheng, I am Xiaoyue Fairy from Zixia Peak. When you have the time, do come visit us at Zixia Peak for a discussion on the Dao.”

An Elder approached gracefully, noticing Lu Changsheng’s handsome looks, she took the initiative to invite him to her abode for a discussion on the Dao.

However, Lu Changsheng saw the glint in her eye and no matter how he looked at it, it didn’t seem like a discussion about cultivation techniques was on her mind.

“I have to follow the Saint Lord in cultivation, let’s talk about it some other time.”

Lu Changsheng firmly declined.

By bringing up Lin Xuantong as a shield, no one dared to say anything.

“Hmph, it is only because you saved Lin Qinghan at Gusang Island that you have gained favor with the Saint Lord. Rising in rank through a woman, what’s there to be proud of?”

Jiang Yu’s voice rang out.

The crowd showed uneasy expressions.

It turned out that the Holy Son and the candidate for Holy Son were at odds.

One was the current Holy Son, and the other was the newly promoted candidate for Holy Son, leaving the crowd unsure of which side to take.

Although the status of the Holy Son was slightly higher than that of the candidate for Holy Son, no one knew what heights Lu Changsheng could reach.

If the candidate for Holy Son was strong enough, he could possibly replace the current one and become the new Holy Son.

Lu Changsheng simply ignored Jiang Yu.

In the Immortal Realm, strength is the most respected, and this is no exception in the holy land of Tai Hua.

One of the reasons the Holy Land sets up candidates for Holy Son is not only to ensure stability in case of unexpected events occurring with the Holy Son, but also to foster competition.

Only through mutual competition can stronger candidates emerge.

Becoming a Holy Son or Holy Maiden does not guarantee a secure position, as there might be successors with greater potential waiting to replace them.

Lu Changsheng directly entered the seventy-ninth floor of the Scripture Pavilion, which was the highest level accessible to candidates for Holy Son.

“…”

Jiang Yu had originally wanted to suppress Lu Changsheng’s momentum, but Lu Changsheng completely ignored him, causing Jiang Yu to lose face and preventing him from making a scene.

The Scripture Pavilion is one of the most important places in the holy land of Tai Hua, with Supreme Elders secretly monitoring every move within.

If Jiang Yu were to clash with Lu Changsheng inside the Scripture Pavilion, both would be punished.

Recently, Lu Changsheng has been in the favor of the Tai Hua Saint Lord, and Lin Xuantong may not really punish Lu Changsheng severely, but it’s not the same for Jiang Yu.

After all, Jiang Yu is part of the faction of the Jiang Family Ancestor, whereas Lin Xuantong and Lin Qinghan are descendants of the Great Expert who founded the Holy Land of Tai Hua, and thus hold higher status.

A follower asked, “Holy Son, what should we do?”

Jiang Yu scoffed, “I’m also going to the seventy-ninth floor to see what cultivation techniques he intends to exchange.”

As the Holy Son, Jiang Yu too had access to the seventy-ninth floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

On the seventy-ninth floor of the Scripture Pavilion, there weren’t many bookshelves, but the cultivation techniques on the shelves were all Emperor Tier techniques and the canon written by the Immortal Emperors!

For the vast majority of cultivators, this place was like a Heavenly Emperor’s treasure trove!

Lu Changsheng marveled inwardly.

No wonder it’s a Holy Land; they have so many Emperor Tier cultivation techniques and ancient texts containing the secrets of the Immortal Realm.

Any one of these Emperor Tier cultivation techniques, if it were to spread to the outside world, could set off a huge commotion, with countless Loose Immortals vying for it.

Such is the foundation of a Holy Land.

The cultivation techniques on the shelves were only hand-copied texts, and they were incomplete. One could only obtain the complete techniques by exchanging contribution points.

Although there were many Emperor Tier cultivation techniques, most of the techniques on the seventy-ninth floor were of the lower Emperor Tier.

Lu Changsheng was not in much need of Emperor Tier cultivation techniques.

Lin Xuantong had already taught Lu Changsheng the Emperor Tier internal cultivation skill ‘True Solar Fire Yuan Skills’, and he also had the Emperor Tier Swordsmanship ‘Sword Scripture of the Divine King’, as well as the Body Tempering Skills ‘Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art’, which were enough for a long period of cultivation.

Lu Changsheng swept his gaze over these techniques, what he was looking for was an Emperor Tier cultivation technique that involved the Time Law.

“Found it.”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes brightened as his gaze landed on a dust-covered text—’Eternal Holy Scripture’, a mid-tier Emperor Tier cultivation technique left behind by the Great Expert who created the Holy Land of Tai Hua, requiring 500 billion contribution points.
