Envoys from the Central Province
A series of major events have recently occurred in the cultivation world of Xiazhou.
In the same year, the two Sects, Shushan and Ask Immortal Pavilion, changed their Sect Master. The newly Peerless Genius Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue took over as the Shushan Sect Master and Pavilion Master of Ask Immortal Pavilion respectively, becoming the twenty-eighth Sect Master of Shushan and the eighteenth leaders of the Ask Immortal Pavilion.
After the Calamity at Shushan, Grandmaster Chen, the Alliance Leader of the Martial Dao Alliance, cultivated the Hundredfold Primordial Force, successfully Tribulation Transcendence, and entered the Dao Integration Realm.
The Master of Crouching Dragon Temple, Yu Xuanji, was a man of great hidden talent. During the Calamity, he displayed the cultivation of the Early Stage of the Dao Integration Realm and restrained the Myriad Poison Valley Valley Master, who was also at the Dao Integration Realm.
High Person Wuxiang of Boundless Temple Abbot returned to the Boundless Temple and, with the invisible Power of Faith from some of the people of Xiazhou, empowered himself to cultivate the supreme Cultivation Method of Boundless Temple.
Five years after Lin Qingzhi, the Chief Grand Disciple of Azure Cloud Peak, went to Luzhou to investigate the whereabouts of the remnants of the Demon Summoning Demon-Summoning Devil Palace, he finally returned to Azure Cloud Peak with intelligence.
Lin Qingzhi First Layer of the Void Refinement Realm, was seriously injured.
Lu Changsheng took out a Ninth-Grade Life-and-Death Reincarnation Pill and had Lin Qingzhi take it. Then he used the Taiqing Wuji Art to heal Lin Qingzhi's injuries.
While healing his injuries, Lin Qingzhi reported the intelligence he had gathered to Lu Changsheng, who had been promoted to the head of the Shushan Sect Master.
"After escaping from the Forbidden Grounds of the Wind-Thunder Pavilion using Spatial Talisman, I was hunted down by the Wind-Thunder Pavilion and the Demon-Summoning Devil Palace. The Pavilion Master of the Wind-Thunder Pavilion is an expert in tracking techniques, and I used all my methods to escape death multiple times. On one occasion, I was protected by the Penglai Sword Sect, one of the seven Sects of Luzhou, which saved me from certain death."
"On my way back to Shushan, I was overtaken by a Grand Supreme Elders the Wind-Thunder Pavilion. He was at the Fifth Layer of the Void Refinement Realm, and I was no match for him. Fortunately, I was protected by the Xuanhuang Pagoda, Law Treasure bestowed upon me by my master, which allowed me to escape."
Lin Qingzhi recounted in detail his past conflicts with the Wind-Thunder Pavilion and Demon-Summoning Devil Palace.
Lu Changsheng understood perfectly.
What truly shocked Lu Changsheng was what Lin Qingzhi had seen and heard at the Wind-Thunder Pavilion.
The Demon-Summoning Devil Palace actually used High Antiquity Strange Formation to summon the soul of a powerful Immortal Realm.
"A powerful figure from the Immortal Realm..."
Lu Changsheng couldn't judge how terrifying the other party's knowledge and Cultivation Method were.
The Immortal Realm was beyond his comprehension.
Those who cultivate to the peak in this realm will be rejected by the World Power, and ultimately, the strongest cultivators at the Peak of the Dao Integration Realm all choose to the Ascension to the Immortal Realm.
The Peerless Genius such as the Shushan Dao Ancestor, the True Person Tai Ling, the Azure Lotus Fairy, and the Qingxia Immortal Maiden successfully Ascension to the Immortal Realm. If they had continued to cultivate in the Immortal Realm, their cultivation levels might have reached unimaginable heights.
If the powerful beings of the Immortal Realm could unleash their true cultivation, they could probably easily crush all the cultivators in this realm.
"No, I don't need to worry too much. Immortal Realm experts cannot easily come to this realm; they can only descend to the Mystical Formation Mortal World through possession via a special formation like the Demon-Summoning Formation."
"Furthermore, the World Power in this realm automatically repels beings who surpass the Dao Integration Realm."
"Therefore, even if a powerful being from the Immortal Realm descends, their cultivation can only recover to the Dao Integration Realm at most. Once they surpass the Dao Integration Realm, endless Heavenly Tribulations await them."
Lu Changsheng was a mentally sharp cultivator and immediately figured out the opponent's weakness.
Although Lu Changsheng was unaware of the specific origins and purpose of this powerful enemy from the Immortal Realm, he had already deduced two points.
Firstly, this powerful figure of unknown origin descended through a soul-based method, and his cultivation level may not have recovered yet; otherwise, Lin Qingzhi would never have been able to escape the clutches of the Immortal Realm immortal.
Secondly, the World Power repels those who are above the Dao Integration Realm. Even if the other party comes from the Immortal Realm, as long as their cultivation surpasses the Dao Integration Realm, they will immediately attract Heavenly Tribulation.
"The Pavilion Master of the Wind-Thunder Pavilion is Dao Integration Realm expert, and he has joined forces with the Demon-Summoning Devil Palace. Our Shushan cannot destroy Wind-Thunder Pavilion and Demon-Summoning Devil Palace in the short term. You don't need to worry about this matter for now; just focus on your cultivation."
After pondering for a while, Lu Changsheng arranged for Lin Qingzhi to continue his cultivation at Azure Cloud Peak.
Lin Qingzhi's injuries had healed, and Lu Changsheng, as was customary, Transmission Empowerment.
Ding! You have transferred 1500 days of cultivation to your Disciple "Lin Qingzhi". Lin Qingzhi actually received 300 days of cultivation. You have received Apprentice-Teaching Hundred-and-Fiftyfold Return Reward: 45,000 days of cultivation.
Lu Changsheng entered the Dao Integration Realm, Lin Qingzhi obtained Spiritual Qi equivalent to 300 days of Lu Changsheng. It will take him some time to refine it completely.
Lin Qingzhi returned to Azure Cloud Peak Azure Cloud Peak, where all the disciples gathered and devoted themselves to cultivation.
Lu Changsheng knew that he and his disciples needed time to cultivate, so there was no need to rush.
Yue Kingdom Princess Wu Wan'er of Yue Kingdom would visit Chen Xiaoyao at Azure Cloud Peak from time to time and became friends with the disciples of Azure Cloud Peak.
Wu Wan'er was accepted as Personal Disciple by Yu Xuanji Master of Crouching Dragon Temple.
"My disciple seems to have connections with both Tang Ling’er and Wu Wan'er..."
Using the simulation function of the Apprentice-Teaching Simulator, Lu Changsheng simulated Chen Xiaoyao's life and discovered that the fate of his Fourth Disciple, Chen Xiaoyao, was related to Tang Ling’er and Wu Wan'er.
His disciple truly deserves to be Child of Destiny.
Wu Wan'er was chosen by Yu Xuanji, the Master of Crouching Dragon Temple, which shows that she has excellent qualities.
Twelve years after the Calamity of Shushan, four streaks of light approached Shushan and stopped above the Shushan gate. Four figures flying on swords appeared.
The four men were all dressed in Daoist Daoist Robes with Star Patterns, carrying Long Swords on their backs, and exuding a terrifying aura.
"Shushan is the largest Sects in Xiazhou, having produced powerful figures such as Taiqing True Person and Azure Lotus Fairy, who have left their mark on our Central Province Gathering. They are not to be underestimated."
"Hmph, since the Azure Lotus Fairy 300,000 years ago, Shushan has performed mediocrely, nothing special. Now, Shushan only has three auras of Dao Integration experts. At this Central Province Gathering, Shushan is just there to make up the numbers."
"Shushan is naturally no match for us, but informing every powerful Sects in every state is a rule of the Central Province Gathering, and we must still perform our duties as usual."
Before entering Shushan, the four secretly communicated via telepathy.
Who are you?
The Dao Palace Realm Elders and Golden Core Realm disciples guarding the Shushan gate discovered four powerful individuals of unknown origin above the gate. They immediately soared into the sky and surrounded the four.
The Shushan had just experienced Calamity, and people's hearts were still unsettled. Now, a powerful figure of unknown origin had appeared, making the Elders and disciples of the Shushan extremely nervous.
One of the powerful figures said, "We are envoys from the Stars Pavilion, here to deliver invitations to the Central Province Gathering. Please lead us to see the Shushan Sect Master."
"Stars Pavilion? Could it be..." The Shushan Elder, at the Dao Palace Realm, pondered for a moment, then suddenly his expression changed drastically. "Could it be the Stars Pavilion, the number one Sects in Central Province?! Please, envoys, wait patiently. I will go and report to the Sect Master immediately."
The Elder of Shushan hurriedly transformed into a streak of light and flew to Azure Cloud Peak to inform the newly appointed Shushan Sect Master, Lu Changsheng.
"An envoy from the Central Province?"
Lu Changsheng was in seclusion on Azure Cloud Peak when he learned of this news and fell into deep thought.
He simulated the life of his Eldest Disciple and foresaw that 145 years later, Lin Qingzhi would accompany him to Central Province, which must be related to these envoys from Central Province.
