“Every disciple of Tai Hua’s Holy Son is a freak of nature, another has reached the Quasi-Emperor realm.”
“In a million years, the doorstep of Tai Hua’s Holy Son will stand alone in an era.”
“That is truly something to look forward to.”
The cultivators present were amazed once again when they witnessed Lu Qinglian’s breakthrough, causing a heavenly phenomenon.
At the Yaochi assembly, Lu Changsheng and his disciples stole the show.
The two geniuses from the Ancient Feng Family—Feng Mu and Feng Chen—paled in comparison, serving merely as a backdrop to Lu Changsheng and his disciples.
Boom, boom, boom…
The Yaochi trembled as Lu Qinglian successfully broke through to the Quasi-Emperor realm. Simply moving her muscles and bones, she caused a shake in the Yaochi.
[Ding, your ninth disciple “Lu Qinglian” has risen from the Daluo Golden Immortal to the Quasi-Emperor realm. You have earned a disciple realm advancement reward: a superior Emperor Soldier “Qing Emperor Sword.”]
Lu Changsheng received a system prompt, this time rewarding him with a superior Emperor Soldier-level Immortal Sword.
An ancient, dark-green Longsword appeared in Lu Changsheng’s Inner World.
The scabbard of this Longsword was etched with bronze patterns in the shape of Kui dragons, exuding an air of immense age and solemnity.
The Qing Emperor Sword, no less than Feng Mu’s Lingye Immortal Sword.
If Lu Changsheng had this Qing Emperor Sword during his battle with Feng Mu, he probably wouldn’t have had such a tough fight.
Lu Changsheng calmed his heart and poured his True Qi into the Qing Emperor Sword, refining it as his own treasure.
Hum!
The Qing Emperor Sword let out a cry that shook Lu Changsheng’s Inner World.
The Qing Emperor Sword, as expected of a superior Emperor Soldier, possessed astonishing magical power.
While Lu Changsheng was busy refining the Qing Emperor Sword, Lu Qinglian could hardly contain herself.
Previously at the peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal, she hadn’t been sure she could make it into the top hundred of the Qilin Ranking.
After her breakthrough to the Quasi-Emperor realm, Lu Qinglian challenged Feng Chen, the second genius of the Feng Family: “I want to challenge you, and I will do it without using any treasures!”
“Whoosh.”
The cultivators at the Yaochi assembly were astonished.
Even strong figures like Lin Xuantong, the Primordial Immortals of Changliu, and Chongxu Daoist took interest in this young upstart.
Lu Qinglian, under Lu Changsheng’s tutelage, was by no means weaker in strength.
Feng Chen was infuriated, embarrassed at always being chosen as a stepping stone by Lu Changsheng’s disciples.
Lu Qinglian was even more arrogant than Dugu Aotian and Su Xiaoqi, daring to challenge him, Feng Chen, barehanded.
Watching the crowd’s eyes turn his way, Feng Chen could not refuse.
If he didn’t dare to accept a challenge from a woman who had just broken through to the Quasi-Emperor realm and wasn’t using any treasures, where would his face be?
“Fine, I accept your challenge!”
Feng Chen refused to believe that he couldn’t defeat even one disciple of Lu Changsheng.
Feng Chen extended his right hand, and a Longspear wrapped in golden flames came into his grasp.
With the inferior Emperor Soldier “Liaori Gold Spear” in hand, he felt confident.
Lu Qinglian didn’t use any treasures and he couldn’t believe he would not be able to defeat her.
Lu Qinglian was still warming up.
“I am using a treasure and you are unarmed. Even if I defeat you, it wouldn’t be an honorable victory. I will let you make three moves, attack me as you wish.”
Feng Chen, wanting to display the magnanimity of the Ancient Feng Family’s genius, decided to let Lu Qinglian attack first.
“Then I’ll not hold back, take my punch.”
Lu Qinglian suddenly lashed out, vanishing from her spot.
Feng Chen lost sight of Lu Qinglian in his vision and was greatly shocked.
The next moment, Lu Qinglian appeared in front of Feng Chen, her waist coiled like a bow, her fist carrying the Phoenix Fire Lotus Qi smashing towards him!
Feng Chen instinctively blocked with his Liaori Gold Spear.
Boom!
Feng Chen was blasted back for miles, destroying mountains in his path.
The crowd was struck dumb.
The second genius of the Ancient Feng Family was being seriously injured by Lu Changsheng’s disciple for the third time!
“A body tempering expert!”
“No wonder she didn’t use any treasure; her bare hands are already so powerful.”
“Her physique may be comparable to an inferior Emperor Soldier.”
“It’s unexpected that the renowned Ancient Feng Family would suffer repeated setbacks at the Yaochi assembly.”
“Could it be that another of Tai Hua’s Holy Son’s disciples has entered the top fifty of the Qilin Ranking?”
“With this, one-tenth of the top fifty are disciples of Tai Hua’s Holy Son—truly terrifying…”
The crowd whispered among themselves, shocked by the scene before them.
“`
Feng Chen, a peerless genius of this caliber, was meant to shine at the Yaochi Convention, yet he ended up a punching bag; any disciple from Lu Changsheng’s sect could beat him up with ease.
Boom!
Feng Chen’s True Qi blasted away the rubble weighing on him. He furiously circulated the Ancient Feng Family’s Baji Primordial Spirit Qi; his Liaori Gold Spear gleamed with a golden light that resembled the blazing sun itself.
Feng Chen was truly enraged.
He refused to be a stepping stone for Lu Changsheng’s disciples.
Lu Qinglian also channeled her cultivation technique, her Phoenix Fire Lotus Qi boiling over. Behind Lu Qinglian, tens of thousands of fire lotus blossoms unfurled, her True Qi taking on the shape of an immortal phoenix, crying out across the Nine Heavens.
Feng Chen turned into a beam of golden light, while Lu Qinglian transformed into a streak of firelight. The two clashed repeatedly in the air.
Lu Qinglian employed the martial techniques taught to her by Lu Changsheng, confronting a lower-grade Emperor Soldier with her bare hands.
Lu Qinglian’s understanding of martial techniques, granted by her Martial King Divine Physique, was beyond that of ordinary people.
Both employing martial techniques, Lu Qinglian gained the upper hand. Enjoy exclusive adventures from My Virtual Library Empire
Feng Chen could only manage to fight on par with Lu Qinglian for a short while by using the Liaori Gold Spear.
“What’s going on? Who exactly are these master and disciples?”
Feng Mu’s scalp tingled as he saw Feng Chen, a genius within his own family, unable to defeat even one of Lu Changsheng’s disciples.
Each one of Lu Changsheng’s disciples was a monstrous genius, which was simply unbearable for the disciples from the Cultivator Clans.
“Pfft!”
During the clash, Feng Chen was struck in the face by Lu Qinglian’s fist, spewing blood and even breaking a tooth.
Lu Qinglian pressed the attack relentlessly, pounding Feng Chen with her fists continuously.
Feng Chen was thrown into complete disarray, utterly unable to defend himself.
Bang!
Another punch sent Feng Chen crashing back into the depths of the earth.
“Enough!”
Fearing that Lu Qinglian might beat his brother to death, Feng Mu quickly called for a halt.
Although Feng Chen was defeated once again, it was still better than being killed by Lu Qinglian.
Feng Mu pulled Feng Chen out from underground; by now, he had a bloodied nose and a swollen face.
The spectating cultivators were horrified.
Feng Chen had been defeated three times, each more embarrassingly than the last.
“This fellow can be ranked 45th on the Qilin Ranking.”
Chongxu Daoist updated the Qilin Ranking once again.
Chongxu Daoist was getting numb to the sensation.
He managed the Qilin Ranking, which seldom needed updates.
But so many talents had emerged during this Yaochi Convention that Chongxu Daoist lost track of how many times he had updated the list.
Moreover, another of Lu Changsheng’s disciples made it onto the ranking.
“The Ancient Feng Family isn’t that impressive after all.”
Lu Qinglian finished her practice, feeling unsatisfied by the swift victory over Feng Chen.
Feng Chen glared at Lu Qinglian viciously, but he truly was no match for her and had no choice but to swallow his anger for the time being.
The elders from the Ancient Feng Family who had come with Feng Mu and Feng Chen turned ashen, their faces livid.
The Ancient Feng Family had sent their two peerless young prodigies, Feng Mu and Feng Chen, to lead their delegation at the Yaochi Convention. The intention was for the two to establish their might, showcasing the strength of the Ancient Feng Family to the other Holy Lands and Sects.
Little did they expect that the Ancient Feng Family’s plan would only serve to dress up someone else for the occasion.
“Very well, very well.”
Lin Xuantong had not anticipated that Lu Changsheng’s disciples would be so defiantly brilliant.
All of Lu Changsheng’s disciples, at the very least, were of the Holy Son or Holy Maiden level.
By taking Lu Changsheng as his disciple, Lin Xuantong’s sect, Tai Hua Holy Land, could also claim Lu Changsheng’s disciples as its own, painting a promising future for the sect.
Changliu Immortal, the Primordial Saint Lord, Chongxu Daoist, the Guanghan Palace Master, and the Yaochi Holy Mother looked at Lin Xuantong with somewhat strange expressions.
Tai Hua Holy Land truly had ancestral tombs smoking with prosperity, giving rise to so many monstrous geniuses in one era.
Millions of years later, once Lu Changsheng and his disciples had matured, Tai Hua Holy Land might well advance to the forefront among all the great Holy Lands.
The gaze of the Yaochi Holy Mother suddenly fell on Dugu Aotian, thoughtful.
An invisible murderous intent emerged, and the Yaochi Holy Mother activated the plain-colored Cloud Realm Banner, covering the entire Yaochi under its domain.
“Yaochi Holy Mother, what’s happening?”
The Chongxu Daoist and Changliu Immortal sensed the Holy Mother’s murderous aura and were moved.
Why had the Yaochi Holy Mother suddenly become angry?
Lu Changsheng was also startled by the Yaochi Holy Mother’s murderous intent; he sensed that it was directed precisely at his disciple, Dugu Aotian.
Could it be that the Yaochi Holy Mother had discovered Dugu Aotian’s identity?
With the plain-colored Cloud Realm Banner in her hands, the Yaochi Holy Mother was virtually invincible in the Yaochi area. If she harbored killing intentions, not even Lin Xuantong could protect Dugu Aotian.
