Lu Changsheng observed his ninth disciple, Dugu Aotian, again.
Dugu Aotian was drinking alone in a tavern.
“What is this disciple doing?”
Lu Changsheng did not understand the intention of this disciple.
After waiting for three days, finally, a woman with her face veiled and dressed in a water-blue fairy dress appeared.
At her appearance, the place lit up, and all the men around were dumbstruck.
Isn’t this Liu Yiyi, the Holy Maiden of the Yaochi?
Unexpectedly, these two were in contact in private.
Lu Changsheng discovered this secret.
Dugu Aotian’s father, Dugu Mietian, had abducted the former Holy Maiden of Yaochi, and now Dugu Aotian was associating with the current Holy Maiden. It could only be said that genetics were indeed very powerful.
As for the matters of the younger generation, Lu Changsheng did not want to interfere, letting them develop on their own.
Next was his tenth disciple, Su Xiaoqi.
Su Xiaoqi’s way of gaining experience after leaving the mountain was to go to the Assassin Sect “Eternal Night” to accept bounties for assassinating Quasi-Emperors or Immortal Emperors, using each assassination to hone himself and enhance his Great Dao Comprehension.
The twisted space-time revealed Su Xiaoqi’s situation.
Su Xiaoqi was also meeting someone.
This person had her face veiled, revealing only a pair of bright eyes, and judging by her figure, it should be a woman.
The mysterious woman used a secret technique to shield her voice, making the image in space-time somewhat blurry and indistinct.
This mysterious woman’s cultivation was very high.
Although Lu Changsheng could not clearly see the woman’s face, he faintly felt that her cultivation might even exceed his own.
Could this be an assassin from Eternal Night?
Or could it be someone from the Ancient Su Family?
The Ancient Su Family was one of the ancient cultivator clans, from where Su Xiaoqi hailed, which is why he had such a special physique, the Body of Nothingness.
The Ancient Su Family was a relatively older existence among the ancient cultivator families, rumored to be from the same era as the Ancient Feng Family.
Due to the mysterious woman’s secret technique, Lu Changsheng could not find out what exactly Su Xiaoqi and the mysterious woman were discussing.
Lu Changsheng was not particularly interested either.
As long as this group of disciples did not cause trouble for him, he was grateful.
“Eh?”
On the other side, the mysterious woman seemed to sense someone observing in secret and let out a sound of confusion.
Su Xiaoqi looked around: “Big Sister, could it be that they have followed us here?”
“It’s unlikely.”
The mysterious woman waved her hand and cast another Divine Skill, warping the surrounding space-time, making it impossible for Lu Changsheng to use the Space-time Law to see their surroundings.
“This person is very likely a Divine King Realm powerhouse.”
Lu Changsheng inferred that she was a Divine King Realm powerhouse from her methods.
Lu Changsheng then looked into the situation of his eleventh disciple, Chen Yi.
Chen Yi was traveling through the Immortal Realm, living like a mendicant monk, saving the dying and helping the injured.
Chen Yi possessed two Merit Treasures, one for attacking—the Empowerment Staff—and the other for defense—the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.
Therefore, Chen Yi relied even more on accumulating merit and virtue through good deeds and needed to spend more time on it than the other disciples.
Last was the youngest disciple, Xu Jing.
Xu Jing was pondering how to revive the Female Sword Immortal he had excavated.
This Female Sword Immortal was very strong in life, and even in death her body was undecayed and still powerful.
Once a new soul emerged in this body, her cultivation would be terrifying.
The Female Sword Immortal was a powerful cultivator from the ancient “Heavenly Sect,” the premier Sword Cultivator sect. Reviving such a powerful being was very difficult for Xu Jing.
Carrying the body with him, Xu Jing went to the forbidden area of the Sword Tomb again, using the Yinsha Qi of the Sword Sect’s forbidden area to reconstruct her soul.
The newly forming Three Souls and Seven Spirits had a faint residual soul of the ancient Female Sword Immortal, but the life produced from this residual soul was no longer the original spirit.
Forming the Three Souls and Seven Spirits required a lot of time.
Xu Jing was not in a hurry, as he could also cultivate using the Yinsha Qi.
Xu Jing planted the Ghost King Banner into the ground, and the Yinsha Qi of the Sword Tomb, as if drawn by it, gathered frantically.
The Yinsha Qi from an area of a hundred thousand li came sweeping in.
Some weaker Yinsha creatures, such as Mountain Demons and Yakshas, were crushed by the Ghost King Banner and transformed back into Yinsha Qi.
“Such astonishing power.”
Xu Jing’s cultivation speed became even faster with the Ghost King Banner.
The remnants of the female sword immortal’s soul within her body also began to gradually strengthen.
Although the process was slow, she was ultimately self-repairing.

Elsewhere, Lu Qinglian blocked the Ancient Scorpion Demon Monarch’s poison needle with the Merit Golden Lotus, then summoned the World-Ending Black Lotus to suppress the Demon Monarch’s Qi Destiny, and finally, the Nirvana Flames Red Lotus scorched the Demon Monarch, making him howl in pain.
The Ancient Scorpion Demon Monarch hadn’t expected Lu Qinglian to possess so many magical artifacts; the Nirvana Flames Red Lotus was an upper-grade Emperor Soldier-level special treasure. Caught off guard, he was severely injured.
After being wounded, the Ancient Scorpion Demon Monarch’s realm fell, and Lu Qinglian seized the opportunity to exchange blows with him.
Lu Qinglian’s momentum was ferocious, assuming the stance of wanting to slay the Ancient Scorpion Demon Monarch at the fourth level of the Immortal Emperor Realm.
If a girl at the Quasi-Emperor realm were to kill him, he would become the laughingstock of the Immortal Realm.
The Ancient Scorpion Demon Monarch battled Lu Qinglian for three days and three nights, growing even more desperate.
Her physical body is too strong!
The Demon Monarch’s treasures all hit Lu Qinglian, but she was unharmed, as if nothing had happened.
Lu Changsheng had used a multitude of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on Lu Qinglian.
With so many treasures fortifying her Martial King Divine Physique, her physical body was comparable to an Emperor Soldier.
Although the Ancient Scorpion Demon Monarch was a powerful warrior of the Demonic Dao, he had not reached the Great Accomplishment Immortal Emperor level; his treasures were merely lower-grade Emperor Soldiers, utterly unable to breach Lu Qinglian’s defenses.
The Ancient Scorpion Demon Monarch was on the verge of collapse.
Lu Qinglian had burned his lair, killed his disciples, and now the Demon Monarch, who sought revenge, couldn’t kill Lu Qinglian; instead, he was the one in danger.
Towards the end, the Ancient Scorpion Demon Monarch’s beard and eyebrows were all singed off by the Nirvana Flames Red Lotus, and he ultimately had to turn into a cloud of black mist and beat a hasty retreat.
“Hahaha.”
Lu Qinglian had her fun and didn’t pursue the Ancient Scorpion Demon Monarch.
In fact, Lu Qinglian was consuming a vast amount of power by simultaneously activating the Nirvana Flames Red Lotus, the World-Ending Black Lotus, and the Merit Golden Lotus. Her True Qi was at its limit, and she lacked the strength to chase after the Demon Monarch.
Lu Qinglian swallowed a True Yang Limitless Pill and sat down to refine the Immortal Pill on the spot, recovering her True Qi.
The medicinal power of the True Yang Limitless Pill was absorbed by her Martial King Divine Physique, and the True Qi in her Dantian even overflowed.
In that moment, Lu Qinglian broke through the restraints of the Quasi-Emperor realm.
Boom…
The sky above Lu Qinglian’s head roared with countless dark purple Chaos Divine Thunders brewing, thundering loudly as if to tear the heavens apart.
Amidst the numerous dark purple Chaos Divine Thunders, there were also golden thunders; these were Great Dao Gold Thunders.
“That’s not good, I’ve not returned to the sect, and I don’t have my master’s protection.”
Lu Qinglian realized she had inadvertently made a breakthrough, and without her master Lu Changsheng’s protection, she would have to face the tribulation outside the sect.
However, the Heavenly Tribulation Lu Qinglian faced when striking for the Immortal Emperor Realm brought upon Great Dao Gold Thunder, leaving few daring to come close.
Lu Qinglian summoned the Nirvana Flames Red Lotus, with her three thousand locks of hair dancing in the wind, appearing like a war goddess between heaven and earth.
Thousands of pillars of thunder descended from the sky, and Lu Qinglian met the Chaos Divine Thunder with her physical body.
“Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Net Palm!”
With a palm strike that encompassed all phenomena, she shattered the Chaos Divine Thunder, dispersing it in the world.
The Chaos Divine Thunders roared so fiercely that cultivators within a hundred thousand miles could hear the sounds of the tribulation, and they were terrified.
“I wonder which fellow Daoist is undergoing tribulation?”
“That’s Chaos Divine Thunder; it looks like another Immortal Emperor powerhouse is being born.”
“Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouses, such beings can move mountains and seas. I wonder if I’ll be able to make this step in my lifetime.”
One after another, cultivators rode their Flying Swords into the sky to witness the descent of the Heavenly Tribulation, becoming onlookers.
The dark purple Chaos Divine Thunder lasted for a long time before gradually disappearing.
“The Heavenly Tribulation didn’t end prematurely; it seems that the person was successful in transcending it.”
“Wait, there is still golden thunder; could it be Great Dao Gold Thunder?!”
“It is said that only peerless geniuses can attract Great Dao Gold Thunder upon striking for the Immortal Emperor Realm!”
“Could it be?”
The onlooking cultivators saw dozens of Great Dao Gold Thunders descending and were shocked.
The more exceptional the talent, the more likely one is to attract a higher level of Heavenly Thunder.
It is said that the most gifted among them can attract ninety-nine Great Dao Gold Thunders when striking for the Immortal Emperor Realm.
