Lu Changsheng, after listening to Xu Jing’s account of what happened in the Sword Tomb, used the Space-time Law to check who wanted to kill Xu Jing after he left the Sword Tomb.
“Retrace the space-time.”
A scene from that time appeared before Lu Changsheng. He saw that less than two hours after Xu Jing left, several figures appeared.
These figures had magical treasures that shielded their presence, making it so that Lu Changsheng could only see their blurry shadows, unable to discern the origins of the others.
“My disciple usually cultivates in places where Yins ha Qi gathers and hasn’t offended any powerful forces in the Immortal Realm. Why would someone track him down? It seems the problem lies with the Female Sword Immortal from the Heavenly Sect.”
“The Heavenly Sect was annihilated by the Demon Race, with all its members perishing. Why would anyone still seek the whereabouts of the Heavenly Sect’s Female Sword Immortal?”
“Those few people are not from the Demon Race either, or are they serving the Demon Race?”
Lu Changsheng pondered all the possibilities but still couldn’t solve the puzzle.
Lu Changsheng originally thought that this Female Sword Immortal from the Heavenly Sect was just a rather ordinary Elder from the Ancient Times. But after the vicissitudes of time, the corpse of this Female Sword Immortal was accidentally unearthed by Xu Jing, stirring unknown beings.
Suspicious.
Very suspicious.
The Heavenly Sect, a super Sword Cultivator Sect that had faded into the annals of history, seems to still hold some secrets unknown to others.
“System, simulate my disciple’s life.”
[Ding, you have begun simulating your disciple Xu Jing’s life.]
[Ding, number of simulations available today -1.]
[Simulation begins:]
[Three hundred years later, Xu Jing deems the Sword Tomb safe and returns for cultivation.]
[Four hundred years later, Xu Jing is murdered.]
[Xu Jing, deceased.]
[Simulation ends.]
Lu Changsheng’s expression turned grave.
His disciple, after accidentally unearthing the Female Sword Immortal, brought disaster upon himself and was targeted by a powerful being.
The enemy could calculate Xu Jing’s location and then send people to assassinate him.
Lu Changsheng felt somewhat alarmed.
This matter was shrouded in eeriness at every turn.
A Female Sword Immortal who had died many years ago was still being hunted down.
What exactly happened to the Heavenly Sect back in the day?
What was the identity of this Female Sword Immortal?
And who is behind the pursuit and murder of Xu Jing and the Female Sword Immortal?
Lu Changsheng knew that although he had been lying low in Mount Taihua for cultivation, he had inadvertently become entangled in karma.
“System, what if my disciple doesn’t go to the Sword Tomb but instead cultivates in the Nine Nether Domain, what would happen then?”
[Ding, you have changed the condition, re-simulating your disciple Xu Jing’s life.]
[Ding, number of simulations available today -1.]
[Simulation begins:]
[Three hundred years later, on your suggestion, Xu Jing does not cultivate in the Sword Tomb but goes to the Nine Nether Domain.]
[Three hundred and fifty years later, Xu Jing is murdered.]
[Xu Jing, deceased.]
[Simulation ends.]
This time, Xu Jing met his end even sooner.
“System, select another place.”
Lu Changsheng picked several cultivation spots with Yins ha Qi for Xu Jing, but the results of the system’s simulation were without exception: if Xu Jing left Mount Taihua, he couldn’t escape his fate.
It was the first time Lu Changsheng had encountered such an inevitable death situation.
Xu Jing, having unearthed the Female Sword Immortal, was inherently entangled in karma and became the target of a powerful existence.
The adversary seemed determined to kill Xu Jing at all costs.
“For the time being, you are not to leave Yuntai Peak. Once your master finds a treasure that can shield your aura, you may then leave the mountain for training.”
Before Lu Changsheng could figure out how to break the predicament, he instructed Xu Jing to remain in Mount Taihua’s Holy Land for cultivation.
“Yes.”
Xu Jing could only draw the Yins ha Qi from distant lands using the Ghost King Banner and cultivate slowly.
Although his cultivation speed had slowed down, it at least saved his life.
This also slowed down the progress of reviving the Female Sword Immortal.
Lu Changsheng went to the Treasure Pavilion to exchange for a batch of treasures that could shield one’s presence or existence.
Xu Jing, being targeted by a powerful existence, had no other strategy but to use magical treasures to shield his own presence in order to possibly avoid the pursuers’ assassination.
“Turtle Shell Clothing, a low-grade Holy Artifact; wearing this clothing can shield one’s aura like the Xuan Turtle, making it difficult to be traced.”
“Rock Tower, a mid-grade Holy Artifact; this tower can transform into ordinary rocks, with no difference in aura. Hiding within the tower, one can blend with the rocks, making it even harder for enemies to track down.”
“Cloak of Invisibility, a top-grade Holy Artifact; this cloak can twist the surrounding light, so even a Preliminary Immortal Emperor, if not careful, would be caught off guard.”
The Elders of the Treasure Pavilion introduced various treasures that could shield one’s presence to Lu Changsheng, most of which were Holy Artifacts or Ultimate Treasures.
Lu Changsheng didn’t expect these treasures to help his disciple avoid the pursuit of the mysterious assassin, but he intended to reward his disciple with Emperor Soldier-level treasures from the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator and even Dao Artifacts, which might help Xu Jing to escape disaster.
“I’ll take all of these.”
After exchanging for hundreds of treasures, Lu Changsheng left satisfied.
Today, he still had to go to the back mountain to practice the Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art under the guidance of the Elder Ancestor of the Lin Clan.
The Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art was a divine-level Cultivation Technique, and the Elder Ancestor of the Lin Clan personally guided Lu Changsheng, hoping that a new Divine King Realm powerhouse would emerge in the Mount Taihua Holy Land.
It had been a long time since a Divine King Realm powerhouse emerged from the Mount Taihua Holy Land.
Once a Holy Son or Holy Maiden stepped into the Divine King Realm, they essentially gained the ability to rule the Holy Land.
In all the Holy Lands, the barrier between the Divine King Realm and the Immortal Emperor Realm is significant. Find more adventures on My Virtual Library Empire
Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouses are the backbone and future of the Holy Lands.
And those in the Divine King Realm are the top battle strength of the Holy Lands.
Lu Changsheng, as usual, went to the back mountain and found the Elder Ancestor of the Lin Clan staring blankly at the waterfall plunging down nine thousand feet.
