“The seventh level of the Golden Immortal Realm, achieved.”
After three months in seclusion, Lu Changsheng successfully entered the seventh level of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.
[Ding, your disciple Lin Qingzhi has had an epiphany and advanced from the Heavenly Immortal Realm to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm. You have received a reward for your disciple’s realm advancement: the mid-grade Holy Artifact ‘Chixiao Immortal Sword’.]
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng received a system notification that his chief disciple, Lin Qingzhi, had broken through directly from the Heavenly Immortal Realm to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, even skipping the Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm.
“This disciple is truly defiant of the heavens.”
Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
Initially, Lin Qingzhi was of mortal constitution with a Heart of the Innocent, and it was later that he inherited the Everlasting Verdant Body of the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor.
At first, Lin Qingzhi was relatively slow in his cultivation compared to Lu Changsheng and Lu Qinglian, only able to keep up through hard and diligent practice.
After his tribulation and ascension to the Immortal Realm, Lin Qingzhi’s Heart of the Innocent led him to have multiple epiphanies, and he eventually became a Daluo Golden Immortal in one fell swoop.
Lu Changsheng had always considered his chief disciple to have immense potential; now, the potential of his Heart of the Innocent had finally exploded, with frequent epiphanies. He now ranked second in cultivation among Lu Changsheng’s ten direct disciples, second only to Su Xiaoqi.
Having acquired the fifth Immortal Sword for the Nine Heavens Sword Formation, Lu Changsheng was only four swords away.
Afterward, Lu Changsheng continued to cultivate the ‘True Solar Fire Yuan Skills’ and the ‘Sword Scripture of the Divine King’ with Lin Xuantong.
Lu Changsheng’s cultivation speed was even faster than Lin Qinghan’s, so even with a three-month seclusion, he would not fall behind in progress.
Lin Xuantong found Lu Changsheng’s talents astonishing and nurtured him attentively, hoping to cultivate another disciple at the Immortal Emperor Realm.
With the guidance of a famous teacher and the company of a beautiful and enchanting senior sister during practice, Lu Changsheng’s days at Tai Hua Holy Land were quite fulfilling, and his cultivation made rapid advances.
Lu Changsheng didn’t forget to continue teaching his disciples.
He gave his disciples Elixir Pills, Talismans, and various treasures.
Lu Changsheng took out a stack of fifteenth-grade Sunflame Puppet Talismans, wanting to see what supreme Puppet Talismans he could get in return for this award.
So far, the highest-grade Puppet Talisman returned by the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator for awarded Puppet Talismans is the seventeenth-grade “Golden Immortal Puppet Talisman”.
The Golden Immortal Puppet Talisman contains a Daluo Golden Immortal puppet.
Stay connected through empire
If even higher-grade Talismans were to be returned, especially those of Quasi-Emperors or Immortal Emperors, wouldn’t that be like having a fighter even stronger than oneself? Moreover, this fighter would follow one’s commands unconditionally.
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Su Xiaoqi with a “Sunflame Puppet Talisman” and failed to receive a reward for returning your teachings.]
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Su Xiaoqi with a “Sunflame Puppet Talisman” and failed to receive a reward for returning your teachings.]
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Su Xiaoqi with a “Sunflame Puppet Talisman” and received a fifty-fold reward for returning your teachings: a sixteenth-grade Talisman “Half-Step Golden Immortal Puppet Talisman”].
…
Puppet Talismans can fail to be returned, and the chance of getting higher-grade Talismans is quite low.
Having used up the fifteenth-grade “Sunflame Puppet Talisman,” Lu Changsheng had to start again with lower-grade Talismans until he obtained a high-grade Talisman.
Even Tai Hua Holy Land wouldn’t have too many “Sunflame Puppet Talismans”.
Fortunately, Lu Changsheng had plenty of time for cultivation, allowing him to reward Talismans at his leisure.
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Su Xiaoqi with a “Sunflame Puppet Talisman” and received a ten thousand-fold reward for returning your teachings: a “Golden Immortal Puppet Talisman”].
“At last, another Golden Immortal Puppet Talisman has been obtained.”
Lu Changsheng had two Golden Immortal Realm puppets, one of which was destroyed during the battle with the King of Chaos on Accumulated Thunder Mountain, and another one at the second level of Golden Immortal Realm.
The Golden Immortal Puppet Talisman contained a puppet at the fifth level of the Golden Immortal.
“It’s still not enough.”
This was not the supreme Talisman Lu Changsheng was hoping for.
A fifth-level Golden Immortal puppet would be obliterated by a prodigy like Jiang Yu at the Quasi-Emperor level with just a swipe of his hand.
Unless there were enough Golden Immortal puppets to form a Sword Array or a spell formation, they could only hope to contend with a Quasi-Emperor.
“Wait, if I can gather the Nine Heavens Sword Formation along with eight Golden Immortal puppets to form it, I might be able to match up against a Quasi-Emperor. If I prepare nine Golden Immortal puppets to directly form the Nine Heavens Sword Formation, perhaps I can withstand a Quasi-Emperor.”
Lu Changsheng thought of using the Golden Immortal puppets to form the Nine Heavens Sword Formation, which would be like having a Quasi-Emperor level fighter at his disposal.
Having made up his mind, Lu Changsheng decided to continue rewarding his disciples with Puppet Talismans.
Decades later, Lu Changsheng obtained another Golden Immortal puppet.
Afterward, Lu Changsheng acquired the fourth Golden Immortal puppet, the fifth Golden Immortal puppet…
Su Xiaoqi, having received the Power-infusing Initiation from Lu Changsheng and the surge of immense True Qi from the Heavenly Spirit, felt her internal True Qi swell like the ocean. She took this opportunity to break through to the second layer of the Golden Immortal Realm.
Although she was the last to start, she began at the Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal level, so she always ranked first in cultivation among Lu Changsheng’s disciples.
Following Su Xiaoqi’s breakthrough, Lu Changsheng, as per tradition, rewarded her with Immortal Pills and Talismans.
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Su Xiaoqi with a “True Martial Fire Elemental Pill” and received a thirty thousand-fold reward for returning your teachings: a sixteenth-grade Immortal Pill “Nine Yang Holy Transformation Pill”.]
[Today’s Teaching Return count -1.]
Lu Changsheng rewarded the True Martial Fire Elemental Pill to help Su Xiaoqi quickly recover her True Qi.
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Su Xiaoqi with a “True Martial Fire Elemental Pill” and received a million-fold reward for returning your teachings: a seventeenth-grade Immortal Pill “True Yang Limitless Pill”.]
[Today’s Teaching Return count -1.]
Oh?
My luck today is surprisingly good; I’ve received a seventeenth-grade Immortal Pill!
This Immortal Pill could also be exchanged at the Treasure Pavilion of Tai Hua Holy Land, but it comes with a hefty price, one that not even Holy Sons and Holy Maidens might have many.
