The Arrogance of the Stars Pavilion Elders
After handing the invitation to Lu Changsheng, the four Elders of the Stars Pavilion left Mount Shu.
"I didn't expect the Mount Shu Sect Master to have only just entered the Dao Integration Realm. It seems that Mount Shu is just there to make up the numbers for this Central Continent Conference."
"The entire Sects only has the aura of three Dao Integration Realm experts, not even a single Great Completion of the Dao Integration Realm expert. It seems Mount Shu has truly declined. It's a shame our Sect Master valued Mount Shu so much, believing it might be one of the strongest opponents in this Central Continent Conference. Now that the Sect Master has arrived, he should be able to rest assured; the Mount Shu Sect Master is utterly vulnerable."
"We made a special trip to Xia Province, only to find that the number one ranked sect, Mount Shu, is only this strong. The other Sects must be even weaker. What a waste of our time."
"This is the rule of the Central Continent Conference. Although these Sects are not strong, we still have to go and notify them. Don't complain. Our next sect to notify is Boundless Temple, which is ranked second in Xia Province. Boundless Temple once produced a divine monk who Ascension to the Immortal Realm a long time ago. Its strength is not weak. I hope it will not disappoint us."
Three of the Stars Pavilion Elders, while hurrying towards Boundless Temple, secretly communicated with each other, expressing their disdain for Lu Changsheng, the newly appointed Sect Master of Mount Shu.
The Mount Shu Sect Master has just entered the Dao Integration Realm, and the Central Continent Conference will begin in over a hundred years. What level will his cultivation reach then?
At the Early Stage of the Dao Integration Realm, in the Central Continent Conference where powerful figures abound, one would only be at the bottom of the rankings.
The Green-Robed Woman was the only one who didn't participate in the discussion; on the contrary, she was extremely shocked.
Back in the Immortal Ruins, Lu Changsheng even had to avoid Demon Generals at the Eighth Layer of the Void Refinement Realm. If it weren't for the Green-Robed Woman taking action, Lu Changsheng's disciple, Chen Xiaoyao, Demon General long ago.
However, how long has it been?
Lu Changsheng's cultivation has surpassed hers, and he has even entered the Dao Integration Realm!
Such talent can no longer be described as merely that of Peerless Genius; it is downright monstrous!
Even the Stars Pavilion Master, in his youth, probably couldn't match Lu Changsheng's speed of cultivation improvement.
That's what shocked her.
The other three Stars Pavilion Elders only saw Lu Changsheng's current cultivation level and were unaware that Lu Changsheng had been struggling in the Early Stage of the Void Refinement Realm not long ago.
It was precisely because of this lack of understanding that the three Stars Pavilion Elders underestimated Lu Changsheng.
The Green-Robed Woman knew of Lu Changsheng's astonishing rate of improvement in cultivation, but she dared not underestimate Lu Changsheng.
Given Lu Changsheng's monstrous growth rate, the Green-Robed Woman dared not imagine what level his cultivation would reach by the time they reached the Central Continent Conference.
"Could it be that back in the Immortal Ruins, he knew I would make a move, so he deliberately concealed his cultivation level? This is very likely the only explanation."
The Green-Robed Woman shook her head. She still didn't believe that Lu Changsheng could advance from the Early Stage of the Void Refinement Realm to the Dao Integration Realm in just a few decades. So she explained that Lu Changsheng had deliberately concealed his cultivation level back in the Immortal Ruins.
"No, why did he happen to appear in the Immortal Ruins back then? Our Stars Pavilion has Grand Supreme Elders of the Peak of the Dao Integration Realm who can deduce the secrets of Emergence of the Immortal Ruins. How could he, with only the Early Stage of the Dao Integration Realm, accurately calculate the detailed information about the Immortal Ruins? There must be a hidden story behind this."
"I'm starting to look forward to the Central Continent Conference..."
The Green-Robed Woman fell into deep thought on the way.
Lu Changsheng was shrouded in mystery for her.
Four Elders from the Stars Pavilion arrived at Boundless Temple.
The Boundless Temple is a thousand-foot-tall divine pagoda, but the Stars Pavilion Elder Void Refinement Realm Great Completion, doesn't think much of it.
The Central Province are not lacking in powerful Sects that practice Buddhist Sect Cultivation Method.
"Compared to Mount Shu, Boundless Temple is much weaker and easily defeated."
This is the judgment of the three Elders of the Stars Pavilion.
On the surface, Boundless Temple has no experts at the Dao Integration Realm.
Apart from the Green-Robed Woman who had become cautious because of the mystery surrounding Lu Changsheng, the other three Elders of the Stars Pavilion looked even more arrogant.
Boundless Temple doesn't even have a single expert at the Dao Integration Realm; in the eyes of the Stars Pavilion, it's incredibly weak.
High Person Wuxiang is using the Power of Faith accumulated by Boundless Temple to cultivate Buddhist Sect Cultivation Method. An invitation was received by a Master of the Void Refinement Realm from Boundless Temple.
The Venerable One at the Void Refinement Realm was greatly surprised to see the invitation from the Stars Pavilion.
The Stars Pavilion is the number one Sects in this world, attracting countless outstanding individuals; it is truly formidable.
Compared to the Stars Pavilion, Boundless Temple can only be considered a small to medium-sized Sects.
"Once our abbot emerges from his retreat, this humble monk will certainly deliver the invitation. Our Boundless Temple will be present at the Central Continent Conference on time. Amitabha."
The cultivator at the Void Refinement Realm clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully.
Boundless Temple dared not offend the powerful Stars Pavilion, otherwise it might bring about its annihilation.
"Ha, with your Boundless Temple's level of cultivation, whether you come or not is insignificant. We'll go inform the next Sects."
Several Elders of the Stars Pavilion flew away on their swords from Boundless Temple, heading towards the Martial Dao Alliance.
The abbot of Boundless Temple gave a helpless, bitter smile.
Stars Pavilion has always been the strongest Sects in this world, so it's not surprising that it looks down on Boundless Temple.
However, Boundless Temple, which produced a divine monk, was not a simple Sects...
The group from the Stars Pavilion then notified the Martial Dao Alliance and Crouching Dragon Temple, two Sects.
Grandmaster Chen of the Martial Dao Alliance and Master of Crouching Dragon Temple Yu Xuanji of the Fulong Temple are both at the First Layer of the Dao Integration Realm, and they don't even take the Elders of the Stars Pavilion seriously.
They would only take a second glance if at least a powerful expert at the Great Completion of the Dao Integration Realm was present.
"The people of the Stars Pavilion, apart from that Green-Robed Woman, are truly arrogant and incompetent. Despite being only at the Void Refinement Realm, they rely on the Stars Pavilion's background to completely disregard me, showing no manners whatsoever. How pathetic! If my master were still here, or if I had cultivated for a few thousand more years, would they be so presumptuous?"
Grandmaster Chen, the Alliance Leader of the Martial Dao Alliance, is a straightforward and outspoken person. After the group from the Stars Pavilion left, he couldn't help but complain.
The Chief Grand Disciple, Ye Wen, asked, "Master, is the Stars Pavilion really that powerful? How dare Elder at the Void Refinement Realm look down on our Martial Dao Alliance like that?"
The other Grand Supreme Elders of the Martial Dao Alliance and Grandmaster Chen's disciples all looked at Grandmaster Chen.
The Sects of Xia Province are located in a remote area and generally do not easily associate with the Sects of Central Province. The Central Continent Conference is a grand event that only takes place once Fifty Thousand Years.
The Peerless Genius participated in the last Central Continent Conference have either Ascension to the Immortal Realm or perished. Therefore, it is understandable that the younger generation of Elders and disciples of the Xia Province Sects do not know the strength of the Stars Pavilion.
Despite his complaints, Grandmaster Chen utmost respect when discussing the Stars Pavilion's strength. "The Stars Pavilion is the strongest Sects in this realm. To put it simply, over the past hundreds of thousands of years, Mount Shu has had a dozen or so Peerless Genius successfully Ascension to the Immortal Realm, our Martial Dao Alliance has had seven or eight, while the Immortal Ask Immortal Pavilion has only had two. Therefore, in terms of ranking among the Sects in Xia Province, Mount Shu has consistently been number one, with the Immortal Ask Immortal Pavilion behind. However, according to legend, the number of Peerless Genius from the Stars Pavilion who have Ascension to the Immortal Realm is recorded to be several hundred."
