“A powerful presence is observing our Mount Taihua.”
The old woman’s words greatly startled the group of ancestors.
It had not been long since Lu Changsheng returned, yet a powerful figure had already come knocking.
“Ancestor, what should we do then?”
Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan, Jiang Family Ancestor, Patriarch Ye, and others unanimously looked towards the Ancestor, seeking her decision.
“There is only one person on the other side. They are not a threat.”
The old woman remained unfazed.
The ancestors glanced at each other, their respect for the old woman growing even more.
Although the old woman was not at the level of the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable, she was still a great expert of the Longevity Immortal Realm with inscrutable strength.
At the foot of Mount Taihua, the Fourth Ancestor of the Ancient Helian Clan, with Helian Ding and Helian Xiong, two clan members, appeared at the base of the mountain.
“Mount Taihua Sacred Land was founded by the Taihua Sword Maiden. It’s unknown what kind of Mountain Protection Array she left behind. The Taihua Sword Maiden was ranked fifth in the Ancient Mysterious Lady Palace. There are also rumors that after her defeat by the Chief Senior Disciple of Heavenly Sect, she comprehended a different Sword Dao, which caused her strength to soar incredibly. By the end of the war between immortals and demons, it is said that her strength was no longer just the fifth rank. We must not rashly intrude into Mount Taihua. We should wait patiently for him to come out.”
Even the Fourth Ancestor did not dare to rashly intrude into the Mount Taihua Sacred Land and could only wait outside like guarding a stump for a rabbit to come.
Helian Ding and Helian Xiong exchanged glances.
Being a high-ranking expert of the Longevity Immortal Realm, the Fourth Ancestor had enough time to afford the wait, but they had not yet reached the Longevity Immortal Realm and could not endure this waiting game.
“If his disciple comes out, we’ll capture him just the same.”
The Fourth Ancestor, considering that fellow clan members like Helian Ding and Helian Xiong could not afford to wait, decided that capturing Lu Changsheng’s disciple would suffice.
He didn’t believe that none of Lu Changsheng’s disciples would ever come out.
As long as any one of Lu Changsheng’s disciples left Mount Taihua, with his cultivation level, he could easily capture any one of them.
The Fourth Ancestor and the two clan members waited at the base of Mount Taihua for three thousand years.
During those three thousand years, quite a few disciples from the Mount Taihua Sacred Land descended the mountain, but not a single one of Lu Changsheng’s disciples did.
“It’s really bizarre. Fourth Ancestor, could it be that we have been discovered?”
Unable to wait for Lu Changsheng’s disciples to come out, Helian Ding couldn’t help but feel disheartened.
Is this Lu Changsheng guy too cautious?
After so many years, he and his disciples refused to leave the mountain at all?
The Fourth Ancestor’s face grew dark.
As one of the earliest ancestors of the Ancient Helian Clan and ranked fourth, he had seen much and dealt with many difficult enemies. However, few opponents were as tenaciously resistant as Lu Changsheng.
While Lu Changsheng’s strength was not as great as his, Lu Changsheng simply refused to leave the mountain, and he could not just barge into Mount Taihua Sacred Land to capture Lu Changsheng.
Helian Xiong asked tentatively, “Fourth Ancestor, shall we continue waiting?”
“You all go back first. I will wait alone.”
The Fourth Ancestor refused to believe that Lu Changsheng and his disciples would truly refuse to descend the mountain.
Since he was immortal, he had plenty of time to outlast Lu Changsheng.
“Then we take our leave.”
Helian Ding and Helian Xiong looked at each other; they needed to focus on cultivating to break through to the Longevity Immortal Realm as soon as possible.
Another thousand years passed, and Lu Changsheng’s disciples still did not come down from the mountain.
The Fourth Ancestor’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed; the other party was indeed very cautious.
On Yuntai Peak, Lu Changsheng used the system to simulate his disciples’ lives and found that if his disciples descended the mountain, they would be captured by the experts of the Ancient Helian Clan, so he strictly prohibited them from descending until things quietened down.
“It seems the Helian Family really sent a great expert, and it might be a great power this time. Even with the Human Sovereign Cauldron and the Mountain and Rivers Chart, I can’t possibly be the opponent of a great power. It’s better to avoid their sharp edges and wait until I find a way before going down the mountain to gain experience.”
Through the system, Lu Changsheng discovered the presence of the Helian Family’s experts at the mountain’s base.
With the system and the cultivation resources provided by the Sacred Land, Lu Changsheng felt no rush to go down the mountain to gain experience.
Lu Changsheng set his sights on Dantai Meng.
Dantai Meng was a disciple in the Divine King Realm who received a Dao Artifact as a reward.
Lu Changsheng entered the Mountain and Rivers Chart, causing Dantai Meng to jump in surprise: “What are you doing here?”
Using Great Divine Power, Dantai Meng had built a bamboo house inside the Mountain and Rivers Chart, nestled beside a mountain and next to water, for her own dwelling. Lu Changsheng had barged directly into her home.
“…”
Lu Changsheng found that Dantai Meng really treated the Mountain and Rivers Chart as her own home.
“This treasure, I’m giving it to you.”
Lu Changsheng took out a Treasure Pagoda, adorned with dragon reliefs, the Nine-Rank Dao Artifact known as the “Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower.”
Lu Changsheng wanted to see what the system would return after rewarding the Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower.
“Ah? Why are you giving me a treasure?”
Dantai Meng was stunned.
What on earth was Lu Changsheng doing?
Why was Lu Changsheng so good to her?
Lu Changsheng kept a stern face: “Hurry up and take it.”
“Hmph, you’re so fierce when giving someone a gift…”
Dantai Meng had no choice but to accept.
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Dantai Meng with the Nine-Rank Dao Artifact “Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower”, you have received a hundred-fold Master-Disciple return reward: Dao Artifact Fragment × 88.]
Giving away a Nine-Rank Dao Artifact and receiving 88 fragments in return was not a loss.
Accumulating Dao Artifact Fragments will allow for the creation of higher-level magical treasures.
Lu Changsheng then took out the Eight-Rank Dao Artifact “Purple Lightning Clear Frost.” Since acquiring the Nether Flame Sword, Lu Changsheng rarely used this Longsword.
The quality of Purple Lightning Clear Frost was good, being an Eight-Rank Dao Artifact, it was suitable for Dantai Meng, who was at the level of a Nine-Rank Divine King.
The most important thing was that Lu Changsheng wanted to see what the system would return after gifting Purple Lightning Clear Frost.
“This sword, you should also take it.”
“…”
Dantai Meng did not understand at all.
What in the world was Lu Changsheng doing? He had already initiated Power-infusing Initiation and was giving her various magical treasures.
