No one in the entire Mount Taihua Holy Land holds a higher generational ranking than this Elder Ancestor.
And the number of people who know of this Elder Ancestor’s existence can be counted on one hand.
Even as the daughter of Lin Xuantong, Lin Qinghan had no idea that there was such a highly ranked Elder Ancestor in Mount Taihua.
Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan took a deep breath.
Why had this Elder Ancestor summoned them?
In the Extreme Northern Ice Field, within Guanghan Palace,
the envoy from Heavenly Court delivered innumerable treasures.
The Heavenly Court envoy said aloud, “Palace Master Li and Saintess Xia have rendered a great service to the Emperor’s son in Qianyuan Cave Heaven. The Emperor’s son has specifically instructed us to deliver these gifts of gratitude, and we request that Guanghan Palace not refuse them.”
The treasures brought by the Heavenly Court envoy included not only nineteenth but even twentieth-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, explicitly displayed for all the Elders and disciples of Guanghan Palace to gaze upon in awe.
The Emperor’s son truly lived up to his name, sparing no expense in his generosity!
Palace Master Li Heng, seeing the gifts from Heavenly Court, felt compelled to accept them, despite her reservations.
To refuse would be to disrespect the Emperor’s son.
Seeing that Palace Master Li accepted the gifts but with a troubled expression, Fairy Zhi Jin couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Master, you and Xia saved the Emperor’s son, so it’s only natural to accept his gifts of gratitude. Why then does Master seem to be troubled?”
After her return, Xia Ningxue was in closed-door cultivation and not present. Li Heng shared her concerns, “The Emperor’s son’s actions might be an attempt to win over Xue’er’s affections.”
“But Xia already has a cultivation partner.”

“As the Emperor’s son, with unlimited power, he probably believes he can have whatever he wants.”
“What should we do? Sister Xue’er will definitely not agree. Yet, if we offend Heavenly Court, our Guanghan Palace cannot bear the consequences.”
“That’s exactly my worry,” Li Heng continued with a furrowed brow. “We can only take one step at a time and see how things unfold.”
At the Kunlun Mountains’ Purple Void Palace, envoys of Heavenly Court also arrived at this Mortal World’s sacred site.
Purple Void Palace is the leader among all the Holy Lands, and its stance is crucial to Heavenly Court.
“Our Kunlun Holy Land will participate in the Heavenly Court’s grand ceremony.”
The leader of Kunlun was in closed-door cultivation and answered dryly.
The Heavenly Court envoy sent to Purple Void Palace sensed the measured and formidable aura of the Kunlun Sect Leader.
The current Sect Leader of Kunlun Mountains was the number one genius of Lin Xuantong’s era, even surpassing Lin Xuantong himself in talent.
He was in constant seclusion, with terrifying strength.
What the envoy from Heavenly Court dreaded even more was the mist-enshrouded caves of Kunlun Mountains.
In every era, Kunlun Mountains had peerless geniuses among the top ten of the Qilin Ranking.
Over billions of years, the number of Divine Kings and Immortal Emperors from Kunlun Mountains was countless.
Deep within Mount Taihua, Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan arrived in front of a cave dwelling.
In front of the cave, wild grass and thorns overgrew, as if it had not been visited by anyone for a very long time.
Had Lin Xuantong not reminded them, both would’ve never guessed that such a high-ranking Elder Ancestor lived in this place.
Lin Xuantong paid his respects solemnly, “The juniors have arrived as requested.”
The three waited for quite some time before footsteps echoed from within the cave.
An unremarkable old crone walked out of the cave.
This old crone looked benign, no different from a mortal, and even appeared to possess no cultivation at all.
However, neither Lin Xuantong nor Lu Changsheng dared to underestimate this old woman.
If she had survived from ancient times until now, it was impossible she lacked any cultivation; rather, she must have achieved an unfathomable realm.
The old crone’s gaze fell on Lin Qinghan, and her cloudy eyes brightened, “Your aptitude is very good.”
Lin Qinghan was somewhat surprised to be praised by the Elder Ancestor, “Thank you for the compliment, Elder Ancestor.”
Even Lin Xuantong was very surprised.
This Elder Ancestor was an impressive individual, and for her to praise Lin Qinghan meant that since coming out of the Goddess Daoxu, Lin Qinghan’s aptitude must have significantly improved.
The old crone’s gaze then landed on Lu Changsheng, and her expression slowly turned into astonishment, “Xuantong, is he the one you spoke of, the person with an unfixed fate?”
Lin Xuantong replied solemnly, “Exactly.”
“Very well. Starting tomorrow, for every thousand years, you two shall spend five hundred years training here with me.”
Lin Xuantong was overjoyed at the words.
He had not expected the Ancestor to personally take on disciples.
Her realm was not something the average person could compare with.
Lu Changsheng certainly didn’t mind having an Ancient Great Power guide his cultivation.
It was clear that the Ancestor had reached the realm of Longevity and Immortality, having lived from ancient times to the present.
Such characters usually didn’t leave their seclusion lightly.
The Qianyuan Cave Heaven incident must have alerted the Ancestor, prompting her to come out and personally take on disciples.
With the Ancestor’s billions of years of experience, ordinary geniuses could hardly catch her Dharma Eye.
After all, if one took a Disciple who soon perished, what would be the point of taking a disciple?
To those with the ability for Longevity and Immortality, probably only disciples with the potential for Longevity and Immortality were worth cultivating.
Clearly the old woman believed the two had the potential to attain the realm of Longevity and Immortality.
Even Lin Xuantong and the Elder Ancestor of the Lin Clan couldn’t confidently say they could reach this realm.
With the guidance from the Ancient Ancestor, and the divine Cultivation Techniques like Mount Taihua’s “Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art”, “One Sword Across Ages”, and the Body Tempering “Eternal Indestructible Art” and divine Sword Array “Eternal Sorrow”, Lu Changsheng was poised to progress significantly.
Lu Changsheng also needed time to master these techniques.
All the disciples were training at Yuntai Peak; Shangguan Zhao’er, True Person Yuxuan, Zhao Wuyan, Daoist Earth Hound, Xiaojin, Li Jianfei, Luo Xintang, and others associated with Lu Changsheng were all cultivating at Mount Taihua, with Lu Changsheng providing them with cultivation resources to increase their overall power.
As the Holy Son of Mount Taihua, Lu Changsheng could obtain a hundredfold cultivation resources, as well as those returned from the system’s teaching.
His resources were virtually inexhaustible; a small part of them was enough to support these individuals in their cultivation.
Every thousand years, Lu Changsheng would devote five hundred years to cultivate with Lin Qinghan at the Ancestor’s place, the other five hundred years he would spend on Body Tempering and guiding his disciples in their cultivation.
The Ancient Ancestor’s cultivation was profound, and with just a little guidance, Lu Changsheng made rapid progress in the “Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art” and “One Sword Across Ages”.
Lu Changsheng quickly mastered most of the third sword realm.
Lin Qinghan perfected the second sword realm to the point of Great Perfection and began to glimpse into the third sword realm.
During her cultivation, Lin Qinghan’s body shone with a halo, exuding a divine aura similar to Saintess Xia Ningxue’s.
Lin Qinghan’s talent was originally high.
If Lu Changsheng had not joined the Mount Taihua Holy Land, then Lin Qinghan, with her Mount Taihua Goddess bloodline, would have been the first person in Mount Taihua Holy Land.
Lu Changsheng vaguely felt that Lin Qinghan’s talent had improved significantly since coming out from the Goddess Daoxu.
Originally, Lin Qinghan’s talent was good enough to enter the top twenty of the Qilin Ranking at most.
However, after coming out from the Goddess Daoxu, Lin Qinghan’s talent could potentially enter the top five.
This was a clear difference.
Had it not been for this era having Emperor Ku and Lu Changsheng, Lin Qinghan’s ranking would have been even higher.
Lin Qinghan also noticed significant changes to her physique.
Lin Qinghan couldn’t specify what caused it but ultimately saw it as a good thing.
If her physique hadn’t changed, then the Ancient Ancestor might not have taken the time to personally guide her cultivation.
Nowadays, her talent surpassed both the Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan and Lin Xuantong and had become the foremost genius of the Tai Hua Holy Land’s Lin Family.
Time passed, day by day.
Lu Changsheng devoted himself to cultivation, waiting for the Heavenly Court meeting in a hundred thousand years, hoping to surpass the power of Emperor Ku.
Emperor Ku was close to the Divine King Realm, just one step away from Great Accomplishment as an Immortal Emperor.
The reason he needed another hundred thousand years was to stabilize his realm after reaching the Divine King Realm and become truly invincible.
To surpass Emperor Ku, who had the cultivation resources of the Heavenly Court and guidance from the Heavenly Emperor himself, within a hundred thousand years, was no easy task.
Emperor Ku was four realms ahead of Lu Changsheng.
The good news was that, with the reverted cultivation from transmitting teachings, Lu Changsheng was not far from the sixth realm of an Immortal Emperor.
Lu Changsheng still needed to master the “Eternal Indestructible Art” as soon as possible to withstand a Divine King with the body of an Immortal Emperor.
Suddenly, his tenth disciple, Su Xiaoqi, came to find Lu Changsheng, “Disciple presumes to ask Master to take in one person.”
“Who?”
After hesitating for quite some time, Su Xiaoqi finally said, “Disciple’s sister.”
