Chapter 53: Chapter 53= Entrapment
“Disciple!”
An aged Reincarnation Hall Elder, upon seeing his beloved disciple, Evil Sword, eradicated by a single move from Lu Changsheng, immediately became furious, his forehead veins bulging.
Evil Sword was his most valued disciple, who, after cultivating for over two hundred years, had reached the fourth layer of the Dao Palace Realm and might even have become a Supreme Elder of the Reincarnation Hall someday.
Yet Evil Sword fell to Lu Changsheng, whom he had met only twice.
“How dare you kill my disciple, die!”
“Heart-Plucking Palm!”
This Reincarnation Hall Elder unleashed a ferocious palm strike, and even before the force of the palm reached him, the earthen walls near Lu Changsheng were already turned to dust.
“Great Accomplishment of the Dao Palace Realm?!
Lu Changsheng saw another Reincarnation Hall Elder attacking and realized that this Elder’s cultivation was far above Evil Sword’s.
Lu Changsheng clenched the Purple Gold Bagua Gourd tightly, not wanting to use the Red Emperor Dragon Strength Pill, an eighth-grade elixir for temporarily enhancing his cultivation, unless it was absolutely necessary.
The power of this eighth-grade elixir was enough to allow him to counter-kill the Reincarnation Hall Elder.
As for the consequences, Lu Changsheng might not have the luxury of considering them.
Suddenly, five figures descended, and their oppressive might caused the Reincarnation Hall Elder’s attack to abruptly halt.
“Not good! We’ve been duped!”
The Reincarnation Hall Elder suddenly looked towards the five descending figures, his face changing profoundly.
“Fairy Su, Temple Master Yu, Grandmaster Chen, Master Lu, and Master
Wuxiang!”
The Mount Shu elders were elated, the Sect Leaders of the six Orthodox Sects
had all arrived!
The presence of the six Sect Leaders, who were clearly on a different level compared to the younger generation of Mount Shu elders, meant that even with greater numbers on the side of the Reincarnation Hall, the advantage lay with Mount Shu.
“Indeed, this gathering of the six paths was fishing law enforcement.”
Lu Changsheng put away the Purple Gold Bagua Gourd.
With the six Sect Leaders taking action, there was no need for Lu Changsheng to fight desperately.
“Taiyuan, haven’t you been a bit too despicable!
A roar emanated from amidst the demonic qi, coming from the Reincarnation
Hall Master.
“If the demon stands tall, the Dao stands taller. What’s the harm in using a small trick against you?”
Real Taiyuan emerged from the demonic qi and stood alongside the other five
Sect Leaders.
“It’s time for the Reincarnation Hall to be destroyed.’
The Pavilion Master of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion unleashed a Flying Sword and in the instant the Longsword was drawn, its dazzling Sword Qi lit up the heavens and earth, soaring into the sky and stirring the wind and clouds! “This is the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion’s top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure-the Severing Affection Sword!”
“I never imagined I’d see the day when the Fairy Pavilion Master would take action.”
The younger generation of Mount Shu elders, witnessing the six Sect Leaders fight in earnest for the first time, were full of admiration.
“Cut!”
The Inquiry Immortal Pavilion Pavilion Master drove the Divine Sword, aiming it at the group of Reincarnation Hall members and Great Demons; those who encountered the Divine Sword and had cultivation at the Dao Palace Realm could still attempt to dodge, but the Reincarnation Hall Elders and Great Demons at the Nascent Soul Realm were instantly turned to ash!
” Amitabha Buddha, allow this humble monk to liberate you.”
Master Wuxiang, in all his majestic glory, radiated with Buddha’s light; behind him appeared a hundred-foot-tall Thousand-Handed Buddha. Beams of golden light poured down, and the Great Demons caught in the Buddha’s light were charred and turned into wisps of smoke.
Yu Xuanji deployed a Nine-banner Flag, forming the Nine-Bend River Formation that trapped more than a dozen Reincarnation Hall Elders and obliterated them.
Compared to the other Sect Leaders’ divine abilities, the Martial Alliance Leader Master Chen employed a simple and brutal method of attack, exploding a Reincarnation Hall Elder with one punch and, with a backhanded kick, bursting a Great Demon at the Dao Palace Realm!
All six Sect Leaders were beings who transcended the Dao Palace Realm. With the six of them striking together, they utterly overwhelmed the opposition.
“Retreat swiftly!”
Amidst the surging demonic qi, the Reincarnation Hall Master realized he had been outplayed and led the remaining Demon Sect Elders and Huang State Great Demons in a hasty flight.
“Chase them!”
The six Sect Leaders struck mercilessly in pursuit, leaving behind only the Mount Shu Elders and a plethora of corpses strewn across the ground.
“The Sect Leaders and other factions have set this trap with the aim of inflicting heavy damage to the Reincarnation Hall and the Demon Race, to delay the coming of the great calamity.”
“We’re going back to Mount Shu.”
Li Changye watched as the six Sect Leaders left, unworried.
The six Sect Leaders were all individuals from two to three thousand years ago, their cultivation unfathomable, not a matter for the younger generation of elders in Mount Shu to interfere with.
“Are you all right?”
After the Demon Race was repelled in the Reincarnation Hall, Lu Changsheng checked on the condition of his two disciples.
“Disciple is fine.”
“With Master’s protection, your disciple is safe and sound.
Lian and Mo Huazhi had only just begun their journey and were not even fit to be cannon fodder in such a level of battle.
Under the guidance of Lu Changsheng, who knew what would be the case in a few decades.
“Very good, let’s return to Mount Shu.”
Lu Changsheng regulated his breath and, together with the group from Mount Shu, continued on their way.
Three days later, dozens of streaks of light approached Mount Shu.
“Is that Mount Shu? Unbelievable…”
Mo Huazhi, using Sword Flight, gaped in amazement upon seeing the suspended Mount Shu.
The Misty Peak of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion stretched for thousands of miles and was connected to the earth, while the peaks of Mount Shu completely floated in mid-air, like an Immortal Mountain, incredibly wondrous.
Mount Shu being ranked first among the six Orthodox Sects was not without reason.
“Fellow juniors, there’s no need to worry about the Sect Leader’s safety. Return to your own caves to cultivate. The most important thing is to advance your cultivation as quickly as possible.”
“Eldest senior brother, fellow juniors, I take my leave.
“Take care.”
The elders who returned to Mount Shu parted ways, each returning to their own peak to enter secluded cultivation.
in the time of great calamity, the higher one’s cultivation, the more likely they were to survive.
Lu Changsheng took his two disciples back to Qingyun Peak. “This is where your master cultivates. You and Lian will live together.
“Yes.”
“Disciple greets Master.”
The eldest disciple, Lin Qingzhi, hurried over to greet Lu Changsheng and the others as they descended.
“This is your new junior sister, the disciple I’ve recently taken in. If she encounters any confusion in her cultivation, you and Lian should take good care of her.”
“Disciple will remember.”
“First, I will perform the Power-infusing Initiation for you, and then we’ll go to the Scripture Pavilion to choose an appropriate cultivation technique for
Zhi’er.”
Seeing that Lin Qingzhi had refined the spiritual energy taught previously, Lu Changsheng was eager to continue the power transmission.
A battle between the six Orthodox Sects and the four Demon Sects was inevitable, so Lu Changsheng sought to improve his cultivation as quickly as possible.
Lin Qingzhi could withstand Lu Changsheng’s cultivation of several decades, and the system’s one hundredfold return of cultivation caused Lu Changsheng’s Qi Sea to expand, bringing him to the verge of the sixth level of the Dao Palace Realm.
“In a dozen years or so, I might just break through to the Void Refinement Realm.”
Lu Changsheng’s cultivation speed was astonishingly fast.
And this was still under the premise of concurrently practicing Body Refinement.
If Lu Changsheng had not also been refining his body, his cultivation might have already reached the seventh level of the Dao Palace Realm.
However, Lu Changsheng chose the same path as his eldest senior brother Li Changye—heavy accumulation for a sudden breakthrough, to ensure a solid cultivation base and a body as strong as an Innate Spirit Treasure.
in this way, although the speed of cultivation slowed down somewhat, each breakthrough came naturally without the risk of cultivation deviation, and he was invincible within the same realm, even capable of fighting across levels.
“It’s time to go to the Scripture Pavilion and select a suitable technique for Mo Huazhi.”
After transmitting power to his eldest disciple, Lu Changsheng became concerned with the cultivation of his youngest disciple.
The youngest disciple, Mo Huazhi, had the body of the Literary Sage and her path differed from that of the eldest and second disciple; she followed the Confucian Dao.
