“Have you truly mastered the Fourth Sword Realm completely?”
Lin Xuantong was dumbfounded upon hearing that Lu Changsheng intended to learn the Fifth Sword Realm.
Lu Changsheng was merely in the Immortal Emperor Realm, yet he sought to learn the Fifth Sword Realm?
Even Lin Xuantong had to pay the price of being injured for a hundred thousand years to barely execute the Fifth Sword Realm.
Lu Changsheng formed a sword gesture with his fingers and slashed out, an invisible Sword Qi inscribing a line of characters on the wall.
The seemingly simple stroke, with a flick and a drag, contained the complete essence of the Fourth Sword Realm.
Lin Xuantong gave a wry smile. He was also considered a genius ranked second on the Qilin Ranking in his days, but compared to Lu Changsheng, he seemed rather ordinary.
“Since you have cultivated the Fourth Sword Realm, I will then transmit to you the mental method and mnemonic verse for the Fifth Sword Realm.”
Lin Xuantong transmitted the first chapter of the Fifth Sword Realm to Lu Changsheng.
The difficulty of the Fifth Sword Realm was a hundred times that of the Fourth.
It was exceptionally abstruse and difficult to comprehend.
“The Fifth Sword Realm consists of eight chapters, each incredibly profound. Even I, your teacher, can only scarcely manifest the Sword Intent of the first chapter of the Fifth Sword Realm, and for this, I must pay a great price. Before the grand assembly at the Heavenly Court, it will be more than enough for you to cultivate the Fourth Sword Realm to Great Perfection.”
Lin Xuantong knew that the Fifth Sword Realm was too difficult for someone in the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Not just for the Immortal Emperors, but among those in the Divine King Realm, very few could fully master the eight mnemonic verses of the Fifth Sword Realm.
Probably the only one in the entire Tai Hua Holy Land who had cultivated “One Sword Across Ages” and “Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art” to Great Perfection was the Ancient Ancestor.
If Lu Changsheng could grasp even the slightest essence of the Fifth Sword Realm while in the Immortal Emperor Realm, Lin Xuantong would find it absurd.
“Disciple plans to seclude himself and attempt a breakthrough to the ninth level of the Immortal Emperor Realm before heading to the Heavenly Court’s grand assembly.”
In these one hundred thousand years, Lu Changsheng had ceaselessly transmitted his techniques to his disciples, receiving a massive return of cultivation from the system, and he steadily advanced into the seventh and eighth levels of the Immortal Emperor Realm. Now, he was on the verge of reaching the ninth level.
“So soon?”
Lin Xuantong was overjoyed.
Others spend a million years just to progress from Daluo Golden Immortal to Immortal Emperor, but his disciple, Lu Changsheng, seemed to be charging towards the Divine King Realm.
Before leaving for the Heavenly Court, Lu Changsheng secluded himself in Yuntai Peak to break through to the ninth level of the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuantong and the senior ranks of the Holy Land were preparing to attend the grand assembly at the Heavenly Court.
The Ancient Ancestor remained to guard the Holy Land. Lin Xuantong, the Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan, the Jiang Family Ancestor, and three Divine King experts led the group. Several of Lin Xuantong’s disciples, including Buyi Immortal Emperor, Fairy Shun Hua, Lu Changsheng, and Lin Qinghan, all followed to participate.
The Heavenly Court was a place of importance, not necessarily dangerous, but given that the Heavenly Emperor convened the grand assembly to discuss matters with the major Holy Lands, all had to give face to the Heavenly Court. The Saint Lord of Tai Hua was sure to attend, as were figures of the Ancestor level.
As the days to the Heavenly Court’s grand assembly drew closer, the extraordinary phenomena around Yuntai Peak grew more spectacular each day: Purple Aura Coming from the East, Ziwei Ancient Star Heavenly Fire descending, and even the Demon Shadows produced from cultivating “Eternal Indestructible Art” and the Qing Emperor phantom generated by the “Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art”…
Mount Kunlun stood imposingly at eighteen thousand zhang, within the Purple Void Palace, which boasted nine thousand layers of pavilions shrouded in clouds and mists, a sight of endless grandeur.
On the back mountain, the Taiji Yin and Yang chaos energy soared up into the sky, forming a Tai Chi Diagram tens of thousands of zhang wide above the Purple Void Palace that slowly rotated, astonishing countless disciples of Mount Kunlun.
When the Kunlun Elders and Chongxu Daoist saw the Tai Chi Diagram forming in the sky, one of the Supreme Elders said, “Our Sect Leader has improved another layer in his grasp of the Zixu Ultimate Technique. Truly deserving of his past title as the first genius of the Immortal Realm, even the second-ranked Lin Xuantong is far beneath the Sect Leader.”
“Indeed, the Sect Leader is expected to be the next great expert of our Purple Void Palace, seizing the essence of heaven and earth.”
“The Sect Leader emerging from seclusion coincides perfectly with the Heavenly Court’s grand assembly.”
“We must give face to the Heavenly Court from Mount Kunlun’s Purple Void Palace.”
“I wonder if the Ancestors from the back mountain intend to attend the Heavenly Court’s grand assembly? The past affair with the Heavenly Court was quite unpleasant for our Purple Void Palace. Some of the Ancestors actually experienced that event.”
“This will depend on what the Ancestors decide. What can we younger generations say?”
“The Heavenly Emperor plans to arrange for the prodigies of the Heavenly Court and those from the various Holy Lands and Prestigious Families to exchange pointers during the grand assembly. What do you think the Heavenly Emperor’s intentions are?”
“It’s clear he wants to let the Heavenly Court’s prodigies one-up our Holy Lands and Prestigious Families, to establish the renown of Emperor Ku.” Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire
“The Sect Leader is about to emerge from seclusion.”
As the Kunlun Elders and Chongxu Daoist were discussing, the vast Tai Chi Diagram above the Purple Void Palace dissipated into the air, and an old man with a Dao Bone appearance emerged, his gaze as vast as the void.
His cultivation was clearly higher than that of the Kunlun Elders and Chongxu Daoist by a tier.
The Sect Leader of Kunlun, Daoxuan True Sovereign, dominated an era with his genius in the Immortal Realm.
The Qilin Ranking, which produced an undisputed top genius every five hundred thousand years, saw Daoxuan True Sovereign surpass his contemporaries like Lin Xuantong and the Immortal of Changliu, even defeating talents from previous and following eras, suppressing several eras.
Daoxuan True Sovereign’s first place on the Qilin Ranking was well-deserved.
Daoxuan True Sovereign, after emerging from seclusion, calculated that more than a hundred thousand years had passed: “I have been in seclusion for many years, delving into the Zixu Ultimate Technique. Has anything of great import occurred in the Immortal Realm?”
Chongxu Daoist answered, “To report to the Sect Leader, these years have been bustling in the Immortal Realm, with events like the Qianyuan Cave Heaven incident, the Heavenly Court’s grand assembly…”
Chongxu Daoist briefed Daoxuan True Sovereign on the significant changes that had occurred in the Immortal Realm over the years.
