Chu Wuqing’s kick struck Lu Changsheng, and the reactive force from Lu Changsheng’s physique made even Chu Wuqing feel uncomfortable.
In a contest between martial cultivator powerhouses, the strength of the physique is most crucial.
Lu Changsheng’s physique was even more formidable than his, making it difficult for Chu Wuqing to truly inflict severe damage on Lu Changsheng. Instead, Chu Wuqing ended up battered and bruised by Lu Changsheng’s blows.
Lu Changsheng was also secretly astonished. Chu Wuqing, truly worthy of being the martial fanatic of Wushen Palace, endured the intense pain to fight Lu Changsheng to the end.
“Hundredfold Desolate Force!”
Lu Changsheng had improved upon the martial techniques he mastered in his early years, combining the “Hundredfold Desolate Force” with the “Primordial Heaven-Splitting Fist,” concentrating True Qi into one punch that could destroy heaven and earth!
Lu Changsheng’s Innate Taoist Body, in theory, could comprehend any cultivation technique and even create his own.
However, due to the presence of the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, which continuously restored advanced techniques, Lu Changsheng did not waste time concocting his own techniques.
Nevertheless, Lu Changsheng was not entirely without his own insights.
He could integrate two techniques into one in a very short time, creating a new cultivation technique.
Lu Changsheng’s punch erupted like a cataclysmic mountain flood, effortlessly overwhelming everything; Chu Wuqing appeared insignificant in front of this mighty punch.
“What?!”
Even some of the elders and disciples of Wushen Palace stood up in surprise.
The martial technique Lu Changsheng used was one they had never seen before!
Lu Changsheng was using a new martial technique created by combining the “Hundredfold Desolate Force” from the Three Thousand Small Worlds with the “Primordial Heaven-Splitting Fist” from the Immortal Realm; indeed, Wushen Palace had never seen this technique.
The powerful fist crushed everything in its path; Chu Wuqing, hit by the punch, had his body, comparable to an eighth-grade Dao Artifact, shattered!
Chu Wuqing was like a cannonball, crashing heavily onto the Martial Arts Platform, causing the earth to tremble. The isolated space of the platform shook, and a huge pit appeared on the ground amid a cloud of dust.
“Huff, huff, huff…”
Lu Changsheng was drenched in sweat, his whole body trembling.
The battle with Chu Wuqing had depleted all of Lu Changsheng’s True Qi.
The number one talent of Wushen Palace, true to his reputation.
If it wasn’t for the practice of “Eternal Indestructible Art,” with a physique even stronger than madman Chu Wuqing, Lu Changsheng might not have been able to win.
Chu Wuqing lay in the pit, utterly exhausted and without any strength left.
An elder of the Supreme Elders of Wushen Palace appeared on the platform, flicking his finger lightly, a pill entered Chu Wuqing’s body to help him recover from his injuries.
The Golden Armor Heavenly General announced the result: “In the second match, Lu Changsheng from Mount Taihua Sacred Land is victorious.”
Just as Lu Changsheng was about to leave the stage, an elder of Wushen Palace said, “Hold on.”
Lu Changsheng and the presiding Golden Armor Heavenly General were stunned.
Could it be that because Chu Wuqing was defeated by Lu Changsheng, the elder of Wushen Palace became furious and wanted to personally teach Lu a lesson?
The elder of Wushen Palace, at the very least, is a Divine King Realm master, and possibly a great expert who has attained immortality. If he took action, Lu Changsheng would certainly not be his opponent.
The Golden Armor Heavenly General said, “Chu Shigong, although you are of high seniority, this competition is being watched by His Majesty and the tens of thousands of divine palaces and sacred lands. You cannot take action.”
The elder of Wushen Palace rolled his eyes: “Who said I was going to take action? I wish to invite this young friend to join our Wushen Palace. As far as I know, Lu is not a descendant of the Taihua Sword Maiden and is also an outsider to Mount Taihua. It would be better for him to join our Wushen Palace, where we can provide him with better cultivation resources, and allow him to peruse most of our Body Tempering Skills and martial techniques.”
There was an uproar.
The Heavenly Court, tens of thousands of divine palaces, sacred lands, and prestigious families were all astonished.
One of the eight great divine palaces, Wushen Palace, unexpectedly extended an olive branch, inviting Lu Changsheng to join.
Wushen Palace is one of the strongest divine palaces in the Heavenly Court and could also be considered one of the top ten powers in the Immortal Realm.
Ordinary cultivators are dying to join Wushen Palace by any means possible.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Lin Xuantong and the Elder Ancestor of the Lin Clan both had ugly expressions.
Wushen Palace actually intended to poach talent.
The resources of Mount Taihua Sacred Land are incomparable to those of Wushen Palace.
The founder of Mount Taihua Sacred Land, Taihua Sword Maiden, was only one of the twelve sword maidens of the Mysterious Lady Palace, and Wushen Palace’s strength was not much less than that of the Mysterious Lady Palace; no one knows how many great experts Wushen Palace has in hiding.
If Lu Changsheng joined Wushen Palace, he could undoubtedly access more cultivation techniques and guidance from great experts.
In the world, who could resist such a temptation?
“This Chu Shigong of Wushen Palace, a great expert who has experienced two ancient wars, ranked among the immortal ranks that do not perish, with a lofty status in the Heavenly Court. I did not expect him to personally recruit the Holy Son of Mount Taihua. This means that as long as the Holy Son of Mount Taihua chooses to join Wushen Palace, he could at least receive guidance from Chu Shigong, and might even be guided by the Palace Master of Wushen Palace.”
“Such an opportunity is not available to most sacred lands.”
“This is the transcendent status of the eight great divine palaces. I think the Holy Son of Mount Taihua will find it hard to refuse Chu Shigong’s invitation.”
“`
The crowd whispered among themselves.
However, Lu Changsheng said indifferently: “I appreciate Wushen Palace’s kind offer, but I am not lacking anything and do not wish to join Wushen Palace.”
Whoosh.
The crowd was once again astonished.
Lu Changsheng actually refused the invitation from Wushen Palace!
That was a place many geniuses dreamed of!
Yet, Lu Changsheng remained indifferent.
He had the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator; he was not lacking the so-called cultivation resources at all. Where is not a place for cultivation?
Although Wushen Palace has a profound foundation, its cultivation resources serve the entire Divine Palace, whereas the resources provided by the system were exclusive to Lu Changsheng and his disciples. How could Wushen Palace compare with the system?
Moreover, Lu Changsheng was cultivating in Mount Taihua Sacred Land, which could provide him with divine protection. He didn’t have to worry about unexpected complications.
And the Heavenly Court was more complex than Lu Changsheng had imagined, full of numerous rules. Joining the Heavenly Court might not be a good thing.
Lu Changsheng’s straightforward answer surprised even Chu Shigong, the Supreme Elder of Wushen Palace: “Are you truly not considering it?”
“Not considering it.”
Lu Changsheng disappeared from the Martial Arts Platform and returned to his seat.
Cultivating at Mount Taihua is good enough; there’s no need to get involved in the muddled waters of the Heavenly Court.
There are also Great Experts on Mount Taihua to guide his cultivation.
Besides, Lu Changsheng is a Sword Cultivator, who only chose to practice Martial Cultivation as well for the sake of self-protection.
Wushen Palace really doesn’t have much appeal to Lu Changsheng.
Chu Shigong shook his head in resignation, returning with Chu Wuqing to Wushen Palace’s seats.
Even he, with his high status in Heavenly Court, couldn’t persuade Lu Changsheng.
A group of Elders from Wushen Palace beat their chests and stomped their feet in regret.
In their view, Lu Changsheng was undoubtedly a Martial Cultivation genius. If he joined their Wushen Palace, they could have one more Martial God in the future.
“The third group’s competition, Helian Ba from the Ancient Helian Clan against Ying Qian from the Ancient Qin Clan.”
The third group’s competition began, shifting everyone’s attention.
Helian Ba defeated the genius from the Ancient Qin Clan.
“Seems like the Ancient Helian Clan is not weak; no wonder the Ancient Su Family is squeezed by both the Ancient Helian Clan and the Ancient Huangfu Clan, with few willing to stand up for the Ancient Su Family.”
Lu Changsheng could generally gauge the strength of the Ancient Helian Clan and the Ancient Huangfu Clan.
These two Ancient Families, just like the Ancient Su Family, dwell within independent spaces in the Void, rarely appearing before the public.
The Ancient Su Family, the Ancient Helian Clan, and the Ancient Huangfu Family are all very strong Ancient Cultivator Clans.
According to Su Yun, the Ancient Su Family is the strongest. If it weren’t for their Ancestors being trapped in the Deep Void, the Ancient Su Family wouldn’t fear the Ancient Helian Clan and the Ancient Huangfu Clan.

The fifth group’s competition was Lin Qinghan against the number one talent of Mysterious Lady Palace, Yuexi.
Lin Qinghan was defeated.
This result was not surprising to the people of Mount Taihua Sacred Land.
Lin Qinghan’s ability to stand out from tens of thousands of talents in the various Divine Palaces and Sacred Lands to make it into the top thirty-two was already an impressive achievement.
Especially considering that her opponent was the number one talent from Mysterious Lady Palace.
Before stepping down, Yuexi glanced at Lu Changsheng among the people of Mount Taihua Sacred Land.
It was very likely that Lu Changsheng would be her opponent in the semi-finals.
The seventh group’s competition, Xia Ningxue won.
The ninth group’s competition, Chen Jinxia won.
The twelfth group’s competition, Emperor Ku defeated the number one talent from Three Pure Ones Palace, Li Cangshui.
“The people of Three Pure Ones Palace are strong, second only to Miluo Palace.”
Even though Li Cangshui from Three Pure Ones Palace was defeated, Lu Changsheng thought that this Li Cangshui was stronger than Chu Wuqing, it was just that he faced Emperor Ku who is one of the strongest among the eight great Divine Palaces.
“The opponent for the top sixteen is Tian Chengjian, for the top eight is Helian Ba; I probably won’t need to recall my avatar to battle them…”
Lu Changsheng’s avatar was still comprehending a Cultivation Technique.
“Lu, if I face Mysterious Lady Palace in the top eight, I’ll need to recall my avatar.”
Xia Ningxue’s opponent in the round of sixteen wasn’t strong, but she might face Yuexi, the number one talent of Mysterious Lady Palace, in the top eight, and Xia Ningxue planned to recall her avatar before the battle with Yuexi.
