The Heavenly Master Sect, among the Immortal Sects of the Immortal Realm, belongs to a batch just inferior to that of the Holy Lands, brimming with powerful Immortal Emperors, with strength not the least bit inferior.
However, these Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Master Sect were curiously sizing up the newcomer, Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng felt like he was a rare, protected animal, on display for all to see…
It was no wonder the Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Master Sect felt this way.
After all, a monstrous talent who ranks first on the Qilin Ranking appears only once in several hundred thousands of years, and every few hundred thousand years, there are hundreds of millions of cultivators who emerge in the Immortal Realm.
One in several hundred million, to be first on the Qilin Ranking is even rarer than a rare animal.
Even the current Sect Leader of the Heavenly Master Sect, Qingxu True Sovereign, only ranks seventh at the highest on the Qilin Ranking.
“Lu, please take the seat of honor. I have had several encounters with your master, Lin Xuantong. I thought his talents were already dazzling enough, but I didn’t expect him to have accepted a disciple with an even more heaven-defying talent. You’ve done our sect a favor, and we at the Heavenly Master Sect owe you one. I hear you have captured the brothers Chen Long and Chen Hu alive?”
“Indeed.”
“Those two were once disciples of a Supreme Elder of the Yujian Sect, but they were tyrannical in nature and were punished by their master, which led to them poisoning and killing him. They also poisoned their fellow disciples, killing their entire family—they have committed countless evil deeds. The Evil Extreme Sect specially recruits traitors from various sects and those who commit particularly heinous crimes; their schemes are not small. You’d do well to interrogate the two, perhaps you can obtain some valuable intelligence.”
“This junior had the same intention.”
Qingxu True Sovereign is truly worthy of being a Divine King Realm expert, he is also aware of the unusual nature of the Evil Extreme Sect.
In recent years, the Evil Extreme Sect and Blood Sea Palace have been unusually active, causing trouble everywhere, and many sects have taken notice of their existence.
Lu Changsheng brought up Shen Xiaoyao with Qingxu True Sovereign.
Qingxu True Sovereign’s expression gradually showed surprise.
It turned out his Direct Disciple was once a disciple of Lu Changsheng.
“I plan to cultivate him as the next Sect Leader of the Heavenly Master Sect, to provide him with the best cultivation resources. How about letting him cultivate at Yellow Dragon Mountain first, and then we’ll see after he regains his memory?”
Qingxu True Sovereign felt somewhat troubled.
Shen Xiaoyao is currently the disciple with the highest talent in the Heavenly Master Sect, and also a man of Great Fortune. If Shen Xiaoyao were to return to Lu Changsheng’s guidance, then the Heavenly Master Sect would be left without a successor.
Lu Changsheng didn’t seem to mind, as if Shen Xiaoyao were to take charge of the Heavenly Master Sect at Yellow Dragon Mountain in the future, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for Lu Changsheng either.
“This disciple of mine, although lucky, has offended the Evil Extreme Sect. Your Heavenly Master Sect may not be able to protect him. If there’s trouble, you can find me at Mount Taihua.”
“Agreed.”
Qingxu True Sovereign and Lu Changsheng quickly came to a compromise. Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
Shen Xiaoyao would temporarily cultivate at Yellow Dragon Mountain, and if Yellow Dragon Mountain couldn’t protect him, he would go to Mount Taihua.
Although Shen Xiaoyao has astonishing talent and Qingxu True Sovereign is cultivating him as the next Sect Leader, the Evil Extreme Sect that Shen Xiaoyao has provoked is not an easy force to deal with.
The Evil Extreme Sect has recruited traitors from various sects and Holy Lands, and their hidden power is possibly even stronger than that of the Heavenly Master Sect.
Mount Taihua Holy Land is one of the many Holy Lands of the Immortal Realm, and can even protect Lu Changsheng who provoked the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable, so protecting Shen Xiaoyao will not be an issue.
Lu Changsheng stayed at Yellow Dragon Mountain for a while, where Elder Ling Qing Daoist and other seniors came to discuss the Dao with him, and Lu Changsheng’s understanding of the Greater Way inspired them.
Although Lu Changsheng’s cultivation level was not as high as theirs, his Innate Taoist Body allowed him to cultivate more advanced techniques at an early stage. He also learned the ultimate teachings of Mount Taihua – the Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art and One Sword Across Ages, as well as the Divine Void Steps and various Divine Skills from the Buddhist and Demon Sects, making his understanding of the Greater Way no less than Ling Qing Daoist.
While Lu Changsheng was teaching cultivation techniques to his disciples, he was also coming into contact with various types of techniques. By drawing parallels from various areas, his comprehension of the Greater Way was extremely profound.
Afterward, Lu Changsheng planned to go to Lianshan Holy Land to request the help from the Elders there to concoct the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pill to help Shen Xiaoyao recover his memory.
In theory, the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator could also return the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pill, but it requires finding the prerequisite elixir pills and triggering the corresponding reward multiplier to get the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pill.
Rather than going through such complexities, it would be easier to directly ask the Elders of Lianshan Holy Land to concoct a Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pill, saving both time and effort.
Lianshan Holy Land is famous for its alchemy. When many other Holy Lands lack rare Divine Pills, they usually turn to Lianshan Holy Land to request their Elders to concoct elixir pills.
Requesting the help of an Elder from Lianshan Holy Land is costly, after all, they need to consume corresponding Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and also use their precious cultivation time to concoct the elixir pills.
But Lu Changsheng truly did not lack Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and as long as he could pay the price, there would definitely be someone willing to concoct the “Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pill.”
“Ling’er, would you like to stay here, or follow me back to Mount Taihua to cultivate?”
Lu Changsheng asked Tang Ling’er for her opinion.
Tang Ling’er felt a bit bitter, “Xiaoyao still can’t remember me; I cannot stay here. Once he can recover his memory, I’ll come back.”
“That’s also good.”
Lu Changsheng instructed Tang Ling’er to return first to Mount Taihua to cultivate while he went alone to the Lianshan Holy Land.
Lianshan Holy Land was located in the western part of the Immortal Realm. If he traveled with Tang Ling’er, it would be too slow.
Lu Changsheng and Tang Ling’er left Yellow Dragon Mountain, while Shen Xiaoyao felt somewhat lost.
Elder Luo recounted in detail to Qingxu True Sovereign how Lu Changsheng had suppressed the brothers Chen Long and Chen Hu, and also described the appearance of the Dao Artifact that Lu Changsheng used.
“The Dao Artifact he used should be the ‘Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower,’ the Dao-confirming treasure of the Dragon Subduing Divine King from one billion two hundred million years ago. After the disappearance of the Dragon Subduing Divine King, the whereabouts of his treasure also became unknown. It seems that this young man has accidentally found this Dao Artifact. I observe his Qi Destiny, and it is not inferior to Shen Xiaoyao’s.”
Qingxu True Sovereign held Lu Changsheng in very high esteem.
“Sect Leader, do you think the Evil Extreme Sect will hold a grudge against our Heavenly Master Sect for the loss of Chen Long and Chen Hu, and retaliate on a large scale?”
“There is such a possibility. During this time, pay more attention. If there is any disturbance, I will personally take action.”
Qingxu True Sovereign was also extremely wary of the Evil Extreme Sect—to the extent that he needed to personally intervene.
The Chen brothers were not the strongest among the Demon Chiefs of the Evil Extreme Sect.
In all the Holy Lands and Sects, many peerless geniuses have betrayed their Sects. Should these traitors join the Evil Extreme Sect and cultivate Demonic Cultivation Skills, their cultivation would advance rapidly, and their strength would become fearsome.
“Understood.”
The Heavenly Master Sect remained vigilant and even more stringently on guard.
Lianshan Holy Land, located in the Heaven’s Extinction Mountain Range in the western part of the Immortal Realm, is one of the Holy Lands of the Immortal Realm.
The Heaven’s Extinction Mountain Range stretches for hundreds of millions of miles, with rich nature’s spiritual energy and countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Lianshan Holy Land was originally an ancient alchemical Sect, and alchemy requires the consumption of a large number of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. The existence of the Heaven’s Extinction Mountain Range provides Lianshan Holy Land with an endless supply of alchemy materials.
“Who goes there?!”
The disciples at the gate of Lianshan Holy Land saw Lu Changsheng, donned in a Primordial Dao Robe, approaching from the east and immediately surrounded him.
“I would like to request the Pill Saint of your Lianshan Holy Land to craft an Immortal Pill.”
“You want our Pill Saint to take action? Do you know who the Pill Saint is? Even the Saint Lords of the great Holy Lands seek favors from our Pill Saint. And, to request the Pill Saint to take action once, the price is enormously high.”
“And who are you? You think you’re worthy of meeting our Holy Land’s Pill Saint?”
The disciples of Lianshan Holy Land couldn’t help but laugh.
The title of “Pill Saint” is a highly esteemed evaluation for an alchemist in the Immortal Realm. In the entire Lianshan Holy Land, there are not many Pill Saints.
A Pill Saint can create up to twentieth-grade Divine Pills. All the great Holy Lands seek the aid of the Pill Saints from Lianshan Holy Land. Lu Changsheng coming to Lianshan Holy Land alone and wanting to meet a Pill Saint was simply a fool’s dream.
“I am Lu Changsheng from Mount Taihua.”
“You are Lu Changsheng?!”
“The Lu Changsheng who is first on the Qilin Ranking?!”
The previously dismissive disciples of Lianshan Holy Land suddenly changed their demeanor.
If other Holy Sons came, they would mostly be ignored by the Pill Saint, but Lu Changsheng was different.
Lu Changsheng was expected to succeed Lin Xuantong in the future and take charge of Mount Taihua. Therefore, the Pill Saint might do him a favor.
The disciples of Lianshan respectfully said, “Please wait a moment, we will go in to report.”
