Enlightenment Tea entered his belly, and Lu Changsheng immediately entered a state of Path Comprehension.
The supreme quality Enlightenment Tea’s effect was excellent, allowing one to maintain the state of Path Comprehension for a long time, thus easily breaking through realms.
This was originally a twenty-first rank Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure that only Ancestor-level figures could apply for when they attempt to break through realms.
Lu Changsheng had obtained two first-grade Enlightenment Tea leaves when he was at the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Lu Changsheng treasured the opportunity to maintain the state of Path Comprehension as though his life depended on it.
Lu Changsheng’s insights from the tens of thousands of years came together in this moment, with his Dantian Qi Sea roiling with boundless True Qi.
Should Lu Changsheng wish it, he could step into the ninth rank of the Divine King Realm immediately.
However, Lu Changsheng held back as he planned to reserve the Heavenly Tribulation specifically to deal with the Blood Sea Palace.
Before setting off, Lu Changsheng purposely tied the Storm Pear Flower Needles to his left arm.
The Storm Pear Flower Needles were his most vital lifesaving trump card, capable of threatening even a Greatly Accomplished God-King if used well.
Lu Changsheng also took along other lifesaving measures such as the Taiyin Goddess Talisman.
Among his disciples, Lu Changsheng took with him those currently cultivating on Yuntai Peak: Lu Qinglian, Su Xiaoqi, Xiao Fan, Dugu Aotian, and Xu Jing.
Disciples of the Longevity Sect would sometimes descend the mountain for training and not all disciples would stay on Yuntai Peak at all times.
Accompanied by his five direct disciples, Lu Changsheng headed to the back mountain, where the Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan and Jiang Family Ancestor had already emerged from seclusion.
With constant turmoil in the Immortal Realm, the two Ancestors had ceased their prolonged meditations, ready to act immediately should any issue arise.
It was akin to forfeiting their own cultivation to safeguard the interests of the Holy Land as much as possible.
If the two Ancestors could nurture Lu Changsheng, the benefits for the Holy Land would surpass those of the two Ancestors diligently cultivating themselves.
Both Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan and Jiang Family Ancestor had already reached the Greatly Accomplished God-King stage. To breakthrough to the Immortal Realm, it might require tens of millions of years and special opportunities.
After deliberation, instead of seeking a minuscule chance through continued closed-door cultivation over tens of millions of years, they preferred to protect their descendants and the interests of Mount Taihua Holy Land.
Moreover, not just by closed-door cultivation could one break through to the Longevity Immortal Realm. Experiencing life and death battles in the outside world might actually speed one’s entry into the Immortal Realm.
“Both Ancestors and the nine experts from Wuying Hall must hide in the shadows to avoid being detected by the adversary.”
Upon Lu Changsheng’s arrival, Lin Xuantong specifically advised both Elder Ancestors and the Hall Master of Wuying Hall, Ye Wuxin, along with the eight Supreme Elders of Wuying Hall.
Lu Changsheng was acquainted with the two Ancestors.
Apart from the sister of the Mount Taihua Goddess, these two Ancestors were the core force of the Mount Taihua Holy Land, both holding rankings on the Divine King Ranking.
Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan was ranked two hundred and thirty-fourth on the Divine King Ranking.
Jiang Family Ancestor was ranked four hundred and ninety-ninth on the Divine King Ranking.
Despite seemingly low rankings, the Divine King Ranking was still more prestigious than the Qilin Ranking.
The Divine King Ranking recorded the rankings of all God-King Realm masters who had made their moves, while the Qilin Ranking only listed talents with less than five hundred thousand years of cultivation.
Everyone who made it onto the Divine King Ranking had been talents listed on the Qilin Ranking of their eras.
Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan and Jiang Family Ancestor were a pair of martial brothers, who, in their era, were both ranked within the top ten of the Qilin Ranking and were known as peerless prodigies of their time.
Divine Kings ranking within the top one hundred were mostly each era’s top three talents on the Qilin Ranking, even the first-placed talents, who were likely to step into the Immortal Realm.
The Divine King Ranking measured absolute strength, unrelated to innate talent. Even the son of a Heavenly Emperor, upon becoming a ninth-rank Divine King, could not enter the top ten thousand of the Qilin Ranking.
A ninth-rank Divine King, no matter how against the heavens in talent, could not rely on external objects, nor could they be a match for a third or fourth-rank Divine King.
Aside from the two familiar Ancestors, the eight Supreme Elders of Wuying Hall brought by Ye Wuxin were all powerful beings at the God-King Realm!
Wuying Hall was composed of experts from the Ye Family lineage who rarely appeared before the world; therefore, their names, including Ye Wuxin, would not appear on the Divine King Ranking.
They were unconcerned with such superficial fame.
The mission of Wuying Hall was to protect the Ye Family lineage of the Mount Taihua Holy Land.
“Boy, I’ve heard this was your idea; I hope you won’t disappoint us.”
Upon Lu Changsheng’s arrival, although Jiang Family Ancestor was as stern as ever, he no longer chastised Lu Changsheng as before.
Lu Changsheng sensed that Jiang Family Ancestor placed great importance on the benefits of the Mount Taihua Holy Land.
As long as it was beneficial to the Mount Taihua Holy Land, Jiang Family Ancestor would do his utmost to protect it.
Lu Changsheng had the potential to take the Mount Taihua Holy Land to new heights, which is why Jiang Family Ancestor recently looked upon Lu Changsheng with great satisfaction.
It was he and Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan who agreed to allocate the first-grade Enlightenment Tea to Lu Changsheng for cultivation.
“I am fully confident.”
Lu Changsheng had seriously simulated the outcomes multiple times with his system and did not see any significant problems; this operation should prove to be safe and sound.
“Very good, one who will lead the Holy Land should indeed possess such courage. If our Jiang Clan’s Jiang Yu could be as accomplished as you, this old man would die without regrets.”
Jiang Family Ancestor lamented continuously.
In truth, Jiang Yu’s qualifications were not bad either, but when compared to Lu Changsheng, who had defeated the son of a Heavenly Emperor, he was like glow-worm light challenging the radiance of the sun and moon.
“We are ready to depart.”
Lin Xuantong instructed Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan, Jiang Family Ancestor, Ye Wuxin, and the eight Supreme Elders of Wuying Hall to conceal their presence. Then, along with Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan, they headed to the Great Hall.
At the Main Peak Great Hall of Taihua Divine Mountain, the Family Head of the Jiang Family, Jiang Sheng, and other Elders were all geared up and ready to go, with Longswords strapped to their backs.
After Mount Taihua Sacred Land’s Three Lights Divine Spring was attacked by the Blood Sea Palace, losing a number of good hands, Lin Xuantong decided to strike back.
