For an Immortal Emperor, shutting themselves away in closed-door cultivation for a hundred thousand years would mean that the ordinary disciples of their sect would have been replaced by several, if not dozens, of generations.
No wonder the Ancestors of the Holy Lands usually hide away in the back mountains to cultivate, reluctant to summon their junior disciples, because it’s possible that by the time they emerge from one session of cultivation, those juniors would be gone…
“Longevity, this time you’re back, we must have a good drink,”
Grandmaster Taixu was the picture of vitality, seeming younger with each passing day.
His reunion with Fairy Qingxia resolved the matters of his heart, and his cultivation soared, having reached the level of a Daluo Golden Immortal.
Both Grandmaster Taixu and Fairy Qingxia had the Spirit Sword Physique, and with Lu Changsheng providing them with cultivation resources and teaching them the “Holy Spirit Sword Art,” their gratitude towards him was boundless.
Upon Lu Changsheng’s return to Accumulated Thunder Mountain, Grandmaster Taixu insisted on pulling Lu Changsheng aside for a drink.
“I’ve heard that True Person Yuxuan has recalled past events and wants to uncover the mysteries of Mount Shu. I want to find him to understand the history of Mount Shu and unravel the enigma of those years,”
Lu Changsheng politely declined Grandmaster Taixu’s kind offer. He had more pressing matters to take care of this visit.
“True Person Yuxuan descended the mountain for experiential training and fortuitously obtained the ‘Reviving Spirit Fruit’, which restored his memory. He’s currently cultivating in his cave abode,”
“Then I’ll go meet him first.”
With a thought, Lu Changsheng instantly moved to True Person Yuxuan’s cave abode.
“What astounding strength, Longevity’s cultivation is becoming deeper and more unfathomable,”
In a daze, Grandmaster Taixu and Fairy Qingxia realized that Lu Changsheng had already disappeared.
In True Person Yuxuan’s cave abode, several disciples were meditating. True Person Yuxuan also opened his eyes upon Lu Changsheng’s arrival.
“True Person Yuxuan, have you remembered the events of those days? I have some questions about Immortal Green Lotus and the Blood Demon Ancestor,”
“You’ve come from afar, there’s no rush for now,”
Daoist Yuxuan walked toward Lu Changsheng.
The other Mount Shu disciples also fixed their eyes on Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng’s brow furrowed.
He sensed that something was amiss.
A hint of a triumphant cunning flashed in Daoist Yuxuan’s eyes.
Lu Changsheng realized at once that he had fallen into a trap.
Lu Changsheng decided to strike first, aiming a palm strike at Daoist Yuxuan’s chest!
Lu Changsheng suddenly attacked, catching Daoist Yuxuan off guard. The latter was struck by the palm’s force on the chest and sent flying backward!
Boom!
Daoist Yuxuan’s body crashed into a mountain peak, causing it to collapse into ruins.
All of Mount Shu was startled, and elders like Grandmaster Taixu, Fairy Qingxia, and Grandmaster Tailin rushed to the site of True Person Yuxuan’s mountain peak.
However, the area around True Person Yuxuan’s mountain peak was confined by a barrier.
“Ha!”
Grandmaster Tailin concentrated his True Qi into one sword strike aimed at the barrier.
The formidable Sword Qi seemed to sink into a quagmire; the barrier merely rippled without shattering.
“This is bad, the barrier has been set by a fully realized Immortal Emperor. We can’t break through it,”
As a Quasi-Emperor, Grandmaster Tailin was Mount Shu’s strongest figure. If even he was powerless, others were even less likely to break the barrier.
Grandmaster Taixu said, “Qingxia, go immediately to Mount Taihua for reinforcements.”
“Alright.”
Without hesitation, Fairy Qingxia took out a Spatial Talisman and headed towards Mount Taihua.
Fairy Qingxia owed her full recovery to Lu Changsheng, who had saved both her and Grandmaster Taixu. They couldn’t afford an incident with him.
Grandmaster Tailin was soaking with sweat: “Yuxuan might have been replaced by someone from the Demon Sects during his time away for training. They set a trap specifically for Longevity. At this point, seeking help from Mount Taihua is like distant water that can’t put out a nearby fire.”
Facing such a situation, Grandmaster Taixu was also at a loss. With his Golden Immortal Realm strength, he was utterly unable to intervene in a battle between Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouses. “We can only rely on Longevity now.”
Both Grandmaster Taixu and Grandmaster Tailin could see that Lu Changsheng inside the barrier was safe for the time being.
Lu Changsheng surveyed the nine Mount Shu disciples surrounding him: “You are not True Person Yuxuan’s disciples. You’ve used Transformative Divine Pills to switch places.”
Boom!
The supposed True Person Yuxuan, hit by Lu Changsheng, now emanated immense Demonic Qi, blowing away the rocks that had fallen on top of them.
True Person Yuxuan’s appearance shifted and revealed itself to be a woman who had disguised herself as him.
“Dantai Meng?”
Lu Changsheng paused for a moment.
He never expected it to be that madwoman again.
“`
It seemed this was a trap Dantai Meng had deliberately set.
This woman was truly insane; after so long, she was still obsessed with capturing Lu Changsheng alive.
“Lu Changsheng, I’m going to kill you!”
Dantai Meng’s face turned beet-red, hysterical.
The power of Lu Changsheng’s palm was terrifying; with a single slap that came over… Dantai Meng still felt a throbbing pain.
Disguised as Daoist Yuxuan, she had attempted to ambush Lu Changsheng, but who would have thought that the moment Lu Changsheng sensed something amiss, he immediately struck out…
“Dantai Meng, I once saved your life and have no desire to become your enemy. Why not reconcile?”
Lu Changsheng was not particularly keen on getting entangled with Dantai Meng.
Lu Changsheng’s strength was already enough to defeat Dantai Meng, but her father was Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable.
Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable was one of the few Demon Lords with the highest cultivation in the Demon Realm, and even the major holy lands of the Immortal Realm, including the Heavenly Court, were quite wary of him.
If Lu Changsheng had just a little scuffle with Dantai Meng, then Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable couldn’t be bothered to care.
But if Lu Changsheng killed Dantai Meng or did something excessive, Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable would truly force his way into Mount Taihua at a great cost to kidnap Lu Changsheng.
Even holy lands were not completely infallible; Yaochi Holy Land had once been breached by Demon Marshal Dugu Mietian leading experts of the Demon Realm, and even the Holy Maiden of Yaochi had been kidnapped.
Before having sufficient strength, Lu Changsheng did not want to provoke Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable himself.
“Last time you treated me like that, and now you… I won’t let you go, attack!”
Dantai Meng signaled nine strong practitioners from the Demon Realm to make their move.
The nine experts of the Demon Realm glanced at each other.
With Lu Changsheng exuding confidence, and considering he had once killed Impermanence Demon Monarch, no one dared to gamble on whether Lu Changsheng still possessed an Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill.
For a moment, no one dared to step forward.
“A bunch of trash!”
Dantai Meng grew even more furious.
In order not to alert the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable, she could only mobilize high-level experts of the Demon Realm who were at the Immortal Emperor realm. Despite having nine people, they still did not dare to join forces against a single Immortal Emperor like Lu Changsheng.
There was no choice, leading a group of promising but inexperienced talents was of no use, she had to take action herself.
No Demon Kings.
Lu Changsheng also noticed the apprehension of these experts from the Demon Realm.
Dantai Meng had carefully set an elaborate trap yet did not bring any experts of the Divine King Realm.
Could it be possible that Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable was unaware of this matter?
If that was the case, then Dantai Meng might not be able to defeat him.
As long as he could delay until someone from Mount Taihua arrived, there’s a chance Dantai Meng might be the one caught by the holy land instead.
Suddenly, a treasure bottle with a crimson and cerulean pattern appeared in Dantai Meng’s palm.
The moment the treasure bottle appeared, Lu Changsheng had an ominous premonition.
This magical artifact was outrageously high in quality. Find exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
Dantai Meng’s lips curved into a slight smile, “Get in for me, will you!”
She opened the bottle’s stopper, chanted a spell, and a terrifying suction force arose, one that could collapse time and space; even Divine King realm experts would struggle to escape it.
Before Lu Changsheng could react, he was sucked into the treasure bottle!
Dantai Meng sealed the stopper and then affixed a talisman over it.
Dantai Meng was overjoyed, finally having caught the nefarious Lu Changsheng!
“People from Mount Taihua may arrive at any moment, let’s go.”
Dantai Meng’s only target was Lu Changsheng, not wanting any complications; thus, she hurriedly left with the nine high-level experts of the Demon Realm.
Grandmaster Tailin, Grandmaster Taixu, and the others wanted to pursue, but they lacked the cultivation to intercept Dantai Meng and her group.
This entourage was composed of genuine Immortal Emperor realm powerhouses.
Lu Changsheng found himself trapped inside the treasure bottle.
The space within the bottle was one side endless Demonic Fire, the other side vast poisonous water.
“This is troublesome…”
Lu Changsheng hadn’t expected the magical artifact Dantai Meng brought this time to be so domineering, capable of forcefully capturing an expert of the Immortal Emperor realm.
From outside the treasure bottle, Dantai Meng’s smug voice came through, “Lu Changsheng, this Ruthless Water Fire Bottle will soon have you endure intense fire and poisonous water torment! At that time, you will beg to be my, Dantai Meng’s, dog, hahaha!!!”
“…”
Lu Changsheng had both the Purple Sun Fire-Avoiding Talisman and Purple Sun Water-Avoiding Talisman, so he was actually not afraid of fire and water torture; the real trouble was that Dantai Meng might take him to the Demon Realm, and escaping could be a matter of life or death.
