“Eternal Wilderness Body, once it reaches great accomplishment, can render the flesh immortal and indestructible. Even if the soul shatters and scatters, the body remains eternal. Moreover, this physique can endure spiritual energy far beyond its own limit. Should someone be willing to perform power-infusing initiation, rapid progress can be achieved.”
Lin Xuantong recognized Li Changye’s unique constitution and held it in high regard.
“Lin Xuantong, you indeed know your stuff. The Eternal Wilderness Body is extremely domineering. With the transmission of power, his cultivation speed can advance by leaps and bounds. My disciple, having received an ancestor’s power-infusing initiation, has now reached the first realm of an Immortal Emperor, planning to use your disciple as a stepping stone to break into the top ten of the Qilin Ranking.”
The deity of Changliu looked quite proud.
His eldest disciple, the White Immortal Emperor, was defeated by Lin Xuantong’s eldest disciple, Qingyang Immortal Emperor. Surely his junior disciple, Li Changye, would not lose again, right?
“It’s a pity that my disciple has gone to the Nether Sea and is not currently in the Tai Hua Holy Land.”
“Lin Xuantong, are you afraid?”
“What do I have to fear?”
Although Lin Xuantong was surprised that the deity of Changliu had taken a disciple with the Eternal Wilderness Body, he was very confident in his own disciple, Lu Changsheng.

“Then call your disciple out quickly to exchange pointers with mine.”
“I already told you, my disciple is currently in the Nether Sea.”
“Then you are afraid.”
“…”
The White Immortal Emperor and Li Changye, seeing their master and Lin Xuantong at an impasse, couldn’t help but be speechless. No wonder the deity of Changliu and Lin Xuantong were arch-enemies, having secretly competed for countless years.
“My disciple has returned.”
Just as Lin Xuantong and the deity of Changliu were at a deadlock, Lu Changsheng and the others returned, and Lin Xuantong breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Changye was even more excited.
He followed the deity of Changliu to the Tai Hua Holy Land, and his main purpose, of course, was not to trouble Lu Changsheng but to meet his junior brother Lu Changsheng.
If it weren’t for Lu Changsheng, Mount Shu would have been destroyed by the Demon Lord, and Li Changye might not have survived.
“Master, we’ve lived up to your expectations, capturing the Great Demon behind the Blood Sea Palace.”
The Buyi Immortal Emperor and Fairy Shun Hua returned with the captured Xuan Yi Demon Monarch to see Lin Xuantong.
“Greetings, deity of Changliu.”
Noticing the Saint Lord of Changliu was present, the Buyi Immortal Emperor and Fairy Shun Hua hurriedly paid their respects.
“Big Senior Brother?!”
Upon seeing Li Changye, the senior brother from Mount Shu among the people of Changliu Holy Land, Lu Changsheng couldn’t hide his surprise.
He hadn’t expected to see Li Changye here, and it seemed Li Changye had also joined the Changliu Holy Land.
Li Changye had the Eternal Wilderness Body and his aptitude was never low. Now that Li Changye had also had his share of fortunate encounters, his realm had already reached that of an Immortal Emperor.
“Lu, it really is you!”
Upon seeing Lu Changsheng again, Li Changye was also extremely excited.
“What’s all this about?”
However, Lin Xuantong remained confused, as Li Changye and Lu Changsheng called each other senior and junior brothers, revealing a prior acquaintance.
Lu Changsheng briefly explained the events before his ascension.
“Since you were once senior and junior brothers, and the deity of Changliu insists on a contest, then you two may spar with each other.”
Having learned of their relationship, Lin Xuantong agreed to their sparring match.
“Junior brother, be careful of the ultimate skill of Changliu Holy Land—the Frost Sword Skills. This swordsmanship contains the power of cause and effect, allowing for endless transformations and even has the power to bewilder one’s heart and mind.”
Lin Qinghan warned Lu Changsheng.
“Understood.”
Lu Changsheng knew that Changliu Holy Land was no less powerful than Tai Hua Holy Land and possessed its own ultimate skills.
Li Changye, having received the inheritance of Changliu Holy Land, fully unleashed the potential of the Eternal Wilderness Body, undoubtedly making him a formidable opponent.
Lu Changsheng had never truly crossed swords with Li Changye before.
“Master, how should we deal with Xuan Yi Demon Monarch?”
“For now, lock him up in the Heavenly Prison. I will work with several ancestors to forcefully search his divine sense.”
“Alright.”
The Buyi Immortal Emperor took the captured Xuan Yi Demon Monarch to the Heavenly Prison, while the people of Tai Hua Holy Land and Changliu Holy Land watched the sparring between Lu Changsheng and Li Changye.
Because it was just a sparring match, the two only used top-grade holy artifact-level immortal swords instead of Emperor Soldiers.
“Disciple, let him witness our Changliu Holy Land’s Frost Sword Skills.”
The deity of Changliu was counting on Li Changye to win some glory for him and had him use their ultimate skill right from the start.
“Lu, you need to be careful.”
Li Changye drew his longsword, circulating the cultivation technique of Changliu Holy Land.
At this moment, Li Changye resembled an unsheathed blade, burst of sharpness visible to all, his sword qi soaring to the Nine Heavens.
With a deep breath, Lu Changsheng activated the Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art, employing the ultimate skill of Tai Hua Holy Land—One Sword Across Ages.
Both of their sword moves reached the pinnacle, their sword qi surging as their Daoist robes fluttered.
Li Changye struck with his sword.
At the moment his sword swept through the air, Lu Changsheng found himself engulfed in an illusion.
In a trance, Lu Changsheng was born into a prestigious family of escorts skilled in martial arts and swordsmanship, following his father in escorting goods.
During one escort mission, they encountered bandits. One by one, the members of the escort fell. With limited strength, Lu Changsheng could not contend with these bandits.
At that moment, Li Changye appeared, his sword light flickering, and all the bandits fell by his hand.
In that instant, Li Changye seemed like the number one Sword Saint in the world, leaving Lu Changsheng with a sense of despair and helplessness.
…
“Not good, Changsheng has fallen into the sword intent of the Frost Sword Skills. This is the most perilous moment. If he cannot quickly break free from the illusion, he will certainly be defeated. Although Changsheng’s body is strong, his soul might not be able to withstand the ultimate skill of Changliu Holy Land.”
Lin Xuantong was sweating coldly for his disciple.
The Frost Sword Skills could trap one in a cycle of reincarnation illusions. At best, it causes momentary distraction; at worst, one’s soul could be scattered, and their Dao heart shattered. Truly formidable.
In the briefest of moments, Lu Changsheng felt as though he had lived a whole life, and was still trapped within the illusion.
