The clouds above Yuntai Peak all converged into Lin Qingzhi’s body, as the wind rose and the bamboo forest rattled noisily.
Lin Qingzhi, who had entered a state of Sudden Enlightenment, ascended from the eighth level Daluo Golden Immortal to the Quasi-Emperor Realm in one breath, causing Yuntai Peak itself to tremble.
Even Lu Changsheng had never seen such a defiant disciple.
Normal cultivators ascend realm by realm, cultivating step by step, whereas Lin Qingzhi had leaped across two major realms in one go, advancing from a Daluo Golden Immortal to a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, a speed of ascension that was somewhat astonishing.
Wait, there seems to be special rewards when a disciple advances a major realm.
Lin Qingzhi is the first Quasi-Emperor Realm disciple, there should be a considerable reward.
Lin Qingzhi remained in the state of Sudden Enlightenment for two quarters of an hour before the state ended.
Lin Qingzhi consolidated his realm by running his cultivation technique.
Having ascended two realms at once, Lin Qingzhi inevitably had an unstable aura and needed time to solidify his realm.
[Ding, your chief disciple “Lin Qingzhi” has ascended from the Daluo Golden Immortal to the Quasi-Emperor Realm, you have received the disciple realm advancement reward: Lifespan Grand Seal.]
[Lifespan Grand Seal: A Merit Treasure that can suppress powerful enemies as well as stabilize the sect’s Qi Destiny.]
The system really did return a supreme treasure, another Merit Treasure!
A golden seal floated within Lu Changsheng’s Inner World, engraved with images of common folk all around – there were heroes slaying Great Demons, scholars enduring the hardships of study, and mortals suffering the torments of war and pestilence…
Intuition told Lu Changsheng that the potential of this Merit Treasure was extremely high.
Merit Treasures are graded, primarily according to the materials used to refine them.
Superior Merit Treasures can contain as much merit power as possible, while inferior ones can grow to Ultimate Treasure or Holy Artifact level at most.
Lu Changsheng considered who to bestow this Merit Treasure upon.
Lu Changsheng possessed the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, Lu Qinglian had the Merit Golden Lotus, and Chen Yi had the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.
Since the Lifespan Grand Seal was a Merit Treasure returned upon Lin Qingzhi’s breakthrough, then bestowing it upon Lin Qingzhi should be able to bring out its wondrous uses.
Distributing Merit Treasures among various disciples would allow each Merit Treasure to grow at the fastest rate.
“Disciple, from now on this treasure will be in your hands. This is a Merit Treasure that requires you to continuously do righteous deeds to grow. Even your master does not know its upper limit,” Lu Changsheng said as he handed over the Lifespan Grand Seal to his chief disciple.
Lu Changsheng gave the Lifespan Grand Seal to his chief disciple.
The chief disciple might also have to manage the sect in the future, and the Lifespan Grand Seal, being able to stabilize the sect’s Qi Destiny, would truly be put to good use.
“Thank you, Master,” said Lin Qingzhi as he took the substantial Lifespan Grand Seal, feeling the heavy weight as if sensing the profound suffering of all beings.
The Lifespan Grand Seal needed to gather the faith of the common people to reach its peak and become one of the most powerful Merit Treasures for the human race.
A heavy responsibility and a long road lay ahead.
Currently, the Lifespan Grand Seal was only an upper-grade Holy Artifact; to grow into an Emperor Soldier, Lin Qingzhi needed to slay demons and accumulate virtue through good deeds.
Having stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Realm, although Lin Qingzhi’s realm was secured, his True Qi was not yet stable, so Lu Changsheng performed a Power-infusing Initiation for him.
Transmitting power to a Quasi-Emperor Realm disciple could yield even more cultivation in return.
Especially this time since Lin Qingzhi’s True Qi was depleted, he could accommodate unprecedented amounts of power.
Vast True Qi flowed from the Heavenly Spirit into Lin Qingzhi’s body.
Lin Qingzhi activated his Cultivation Technique, Refining the power transmitted by Lu Changsheng, to consolidate his realm.
Lin Qingzhi had received Power-infusing Initiations multiple times before and was thus proficient in the process.
Lu Changsheng’s power transmission unexpectedly lasted for seven days and nights.
After seven days, Lu Changsheng ceased transmitting power.
Transferring 15 million units of Heavenly Cultivation at once proved to be quite taxing for Lu Changsheng. Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire
However, the next moment, the system returned a vast amount of cultivation, filling up Lu Changsheng’s Dantian Qi Sea to the brim.
[Ding, you’ve transmitted 15 million units of Heavenly Cultivation to your disciple Lin Qingzhi, who actually received 3 million units of Heavenly Cultivation. You have received a sixty-fold return reward for teaching your disciple: 180 million units of Heavenly Cultivation.]
Over a hundred million units of Heavenly Cultivation had been returned by the system this time!
“Not good, the returned True Qi has exceeded my limit,” Lu Changsheng exclaimed.
Due to the vast amount of regained cultivation, he was about to ascend to the second level of the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Moreover, the returned cultivation had exceeded the True Qi needed for his breakthrough, and Lu Changsheng quickly allocated the excess True Qi to the Primordial Thunder Dragon Soul.
The Primordial Thunder Dragon Soul absorbed the large quantity of True Qi, growing from a ten thousand zhang spirit body to a twenty thousand zhang spirit body, equivalent to a second level Immortal Emperor Great Demon.
Lu Changsheng set aside the growth of the Primordial Thunder Dragon Soul for the time being as he was in urgent need of seclusion to break through from the first level of the Immortal Emperor Realm to the second level.
“This master has had a revelation and must enter seclusion. You all continue to cultivate peacefully at the Holy Land,” Lu Changsheng announced to his disciples in a hurry before immediately starting his closed-door cultivation.
As Lu Changsheng mainly cultivated the “Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art,” during his breakthrough, the power from the Ziwei Ancient Star descended from the Nine Heavens, turning the sea of clouds above Yuntai Peak a crimson purple.
“He’s breaking through again so soon?”
Lin Xuantong and the various ancestors from Taihua Divine Mountain witnessed the extraordinary phenomena above Yuntai Peak and realized that it was Lu Changsheng, who cultivated the “Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art,” making a breakthrough, and they were all deeply shaken.
Advancing through each layer of the Immortal Emperor Realm typically requires arduous cultivation over tens of thousands of years before one can make even a single leap in level.
However, it had not been long since Lu Changsheng entered the Immortal Emperor Realm, and now he was already about to advance again?
Three months later, Lu Changsheng was still in seclusion, and all of his disciples were diligently cultivating as well.
After returning to the sect, Lu Changsheng had instructed Lin Qingzhi to manage the mountain peak dojo.
While cultivating, Lin Qingzhi noticed that someone had come to visit.
