Lu Changsheng spent seven days and nights before he finished refining the Emperor Soldier Demon Sword, engraving his mark on it.
On the blade of this mid-tier Emperor Soldier-level Demon Sword were inscribed a series of small seal characters: “Heaven and earth, sun and moon, stars, and all phenomena.”
With Lu Changsheng’s cultivation at the first tier of the Immortal Emperor Realm, he could only barely wield this Demon Sword.
Lu Changsheng used the system’s simulation battle function, which generated the Buddha Lord Xingwang, also at the first tier of the Immortal Emperor Realm, as an opponent.
The Buddha Lord Xingwang condensed the Immovable King True Body, an eight hundred-zhang-tall golden Buddha Body that enveloped Xingwang himself, with golden light flowing and Buddha’s radiance reaching ten thousand zhang.
Lu Changsheng held the Demon Sword, its towering Demonic Qi sweeping across the space, as the sword frantically absorbed the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy, even devouring the magical power of the Immovable King True Body.
The Sword Qi struck the golden Buddha Body, which, despite its seemingly solid form, was shattered by the Demon Sword as easily as dry twigs.
“As expected of a mid-tier Emperor Soldier, its power is shocking. Just one sword strike was enough to break the Buddha Lord Xingwang’s Immovable King True Body.”
Lu Changsheng ran his fingers over the blade, and the Demon Sword “Myriad Phenomena” exuded a chill.
Although this magical treasure was more suitable for powerful demons like Dugu Aotian who cultivates Demon Sects techniques, Dugu Aotian, currently an eighth-tier Daluo Golden Immortal, was still unable to wield a mid-tier Emperor Soldier.
Lu Changsheng reluctantly made do with this Emperor Soldier.
“During the Tribulation, the Great Dao Gold Thunder destroyed nine Golden Immortal puppets, and I no longer have any puppets to use. It would be better to reward my disciple with Puppet Talismans, generate a few Golden Immortal Puppet Talismans, and use them as cannon fodder at critical moments.”
Lu Changsheng took out a stack of fifteenth-tier “Sunflame Puppet Talismans” and bestowed them upon his disciple.
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Su Xiaoqi with “Sunflame Puppet Talismans,” receiving a millionfold discipleship reward: “Golden Immortal Puppet Talisman.”]
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Su Xiaoqi with “Sunflame Puppet Talismans,” and receiving discipleship return reward failed.]
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Su Xiaoqi with “Sunflame Puppet Talismans,” and receiving discipleship return reward failed.]
…
Following consecutive failures to receive rewards, Lu Changsheng was unconcerned.
The probability of failure in returning Puppet Talismans was not low.
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Su Xiaoqi with “Sunflame Puppet Talismans,” receiving a millionfold discipleship return reward: Eighteenth-tier “Immortal Emperor Puppet Talisman.”]
The system returned a fiery-colored talisman filled with dense handwriting and formation patterns.
Lu Changsheng sent a wisp of Divine Sense into the talisman space and discovered a puppet inside.
This puppet was bald, with an aged face, a body radiating firelight, and eyes that were hollow and lifeless.
“A puppet of the fourth tier of the Immortal Emperor Realm? This person, in life, must have also been an Immortal Emperor powerhouse.”
Lu Changsheng knew that a puppet at the Immortal Emperor Realm was mostly made from the body of a powerful Immortal Emperor.
A puppet of the fourth-tier Immortal Emperor Realm was worth no less than a low-tier Emperor Soldier.
This talisman was not as good as the Taiyin Goddess Talisman, but the Taiyin Goddess Talisman was a rare and unique talisman that could not be obtained a second time.
An eighteenth-tier talisman, summoning an Immortal Emperor puppet to assist in battle, was a significant boost to fighting strength.
Lu Changsheng rewarded several dozen Sunflame Puppet Talismans and in return received one Immortal Emperor Puppet Talisman and three Golden Immortal Puppet Talismans.
After rewarding the Puppet Talismans, Lu Changsheng found that he had recently obtained a special elixir from the Treasure Pavilion—the Disguise Immortal Pill.
This special Immortal Pill allowed one to change one’s appearance and even aura for a short time, useful for evading enemies or infiltrating other Sects.
Due to its unique effects, helping many powerhouses escape their enemies, the Disguise Immortal Pill was rated as a fourteenth-tier Immortal Pill.
As Su Xiaoqi excels in tracking and assassination, the Disguise Immortal Pill could have a surprising effect, so Lu Changsheng bestowed it upon her.
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Su Xiaoqi with “Disguise Immortal Pill,” receiving a millionfold discipleship return reward: Seventeenth-tier “Transformative Divine Pill.”]
[Transformative Divine Pill: Upon consumption, allows temporary transformation into anything seen in the world; even an Immortal Emperor would struggle to notice. Note that the effect only lasts for twelve hours.]
Lu Changsheng, seeing the description of the Transformative Divine Pill, thought its effect was like the Seventy-two Transformations.
No, the Transformative Divine Pill could transform into anything in the world, even more magical than the Seventy-two Transformations Divine Skills. The only drawback is that the Transformative Divine Pill has a time limit and is a consumable.
“This is indeed a lifesaving treasure.”
Lu Changsheng knew the value of the Transformative Divine Pill; the fact that this Divine Pill was rated as a seventeenth-tier Immortal Pill made sense, especially for its lifesaving quality.
Having obtained the Demon Sword “Myriad Phenomena,” the Immortal Emperor Puppet Talisman, the Transformative Divine Pill, and the Primordial Dao Robe bestowed by Lin Xuantong, Lu Changsheng’s ability to preserve his life had risen to a new level.
After Lu Changsheng became an Immortal Emperor, Lin Xuantong imparted the first Sword Realm of “One Sword Across Ages,” which, solely on the first Sword Realm, was as difficult as high-tier Emperor Tier Swordsmanship.
“One Sword Across Ages” only has five Sword Realms, with each subsequent realm becoming more difficult.
Mastery of the first Sword Realm could sever space.
Mastery of the second Sword Realm could sever time.
Mastery of the third Sword Realm could sever Qi Destiny.
Mastery of the fourth Sword Realm could sever cause and effect.
Mastery of the fifth Sword Realm could snatch the creation of heaven and earth, killing beings eternal and immortal.
The Sect-defining Ultimate Art of the Holy Land of Tai Hua was no trivial matter, with the fifth Sword Realm existing only in legend.
Lin Xuantong himself had not cultivated up to the fifth Sword Realm.
For the time being, Lin Xuantong only imparted the first Sword Realm to Lu Changsheng.
The reason was simple; just the first Sword Realm alone would be sufficient for Lu Changsheng to cultivate for a long time. Moreover, “One Sword Across Ages” was, after all, the Sect-defining Ultimate Art of the Holy Land of Tai Hua, and it was impossible to pass on the complete Cultivation Technique all at once. If a disciple were to betray Tai Hua halfway, then this Ultimate Art could be spread to the outside world as a result.
