Penglai Fairy
As Lu Changsheng and his group entered the Nine Heavens True Lord Palace, all the Grand Supreme Elders of the Penglai Sword Sect appeared.
Two of the Grand Supreme Elders surveyed the group of cultivators from Xia Province who had arrived.
Lu Changsheng had previously used the Soul-Seeking Technique to scan three Dao Integration Realm experts, two of whom were these two Grand Supreme Elders.
"Our Penglai Sword Sect and the Mount Shu last cooperated tens of thousands of years ago. We never imagined that one day our two Sects would be able to join forces again."
A gentle voice rang out, and a slender figure appeared, draped in a light purple gauze and a dark purple dress. She was charming and alluring, and every move she made was captivating. Her bright eyes curiously observed the arriving cultivators from Xia Province.
The Penglai Sword Sect has not had any contact with the Sects of Xia Province for a long time and is not very clear about their strength.
"Is this the Sect Master of the Penglai Sword Sect, the legendary most beautiful woman in Luzhou — the Penglai Fairy?"
The moment Zhao Wuyan saw the Penglai Fairy, he seemed to be completely captivated, frozen in place.
Not only Zhao Wuyan, but even some Elders at the Void Refinement Realm were captivated by Penglai Fairy, their eyes glued to her.
Lu Changsheng, however, remained unmoved.
His Innate Dao Body allows him to suppress emotions.
Furthermore, Lu Changsheng did not believe that the beauty of the Penglai Fairy could compare to that of Xia Ningxue.
Lu Changsheng could sense that Penglai Fairy had cultivated a special Cultivation Method that could bewitch people's minds, making them addicted and unable to extricate themselves.
Xia Ningxue possessed a natural beauty, but she was usually cold and aloof to people, only softening her expression when talking to Lu Changsheng.
One is innate, the other is acquired.
Although Penglai Fairy was an extremely beautiful woman, in Lu Changsheng's opinion, Penglai Fairy was still slightly inferior to Xia Ningxue.
With this in mind, Lu Changsheng became even more indifferent.
"Meaning?"
A hint of surprise flashed in the beautiful eyes of the Penglai Fairy.
The Cultivation Method she practiced could shake a person's Dao heart, causing them to become addicted to listening to music in brothels. The moment their Dao heart wavered, they would fall victim to the sword move of the Fairy of Penglai Fairy.
Unexpectedly, Lu Changsheng completely ignored the allure of the Penglai Fairy and did not waver in the slightest.
Penglai Fairy suddenly noticed that Lu Changsheng's gaze was comparing her and Xia Ningxue. Xia Ningxue was exceptionally beautiful, with a beauty that could shame the moon and flowers. Penglai Fairy couldn't help but secretly compete with her.
This is the first time she has faced a challenge regarding her appearance.
"Ahem, Elder Zhao!"
Among the group from Crouching Dragon Temple, Fairy Chunhua, Dao Palace Realm cultivator, secretly pinched Zhao Wuyan.
During the Calamity of the Desolate Province Demon Race, she was pursued by Zhao Wuyan. However, as soon as Zhao Wuyan saw the Penglai Fairy, who was known as the most beautiful woman in Luzhou, he couldn't take his eyes off her, which made Fairy Chunhua furious.
Ouch!
Caught off guard by the pinch from Fairy Chunhua, Zhao Wuyan winced in pain and cried out, bringing the others, who had also been Penglai Fairy, back to their senses.
I'm ashamed...
Zhao Wuyan and the other Elders, who had been misled, realized their lapse in composure and blushed.
Lu Changsheng remained silent.
As expected of Senior Brother Zhao, it has to be you who single-handedly broke the enchanting Cultivation Method revealed by Penglai Fairy.
Xia Ningxue secretly observed everyone's reactions.
Among the male cultivators present, apart from the High Person Wuxiang, even Grandmaster Chen, who Dao Integration Realm, was momentarily shaken.
Only Lu Changsheng remained unmoved, as steady as a mountain.
Xia Ningxue felt a warmth in her heart and was slightly relieved.
Even in Xia Ningxue's eyes, Penglai Fairy was indeed a beauty, and she had cultivated a bewitching Cultivation Method. Anyone with an impure heart could easily be bewitched by Penglai Fairy.
Penglai Fairy tested Lu Changsheng with her Cultivation Method, but to no avail, so she stopped circulating Cultivation Method: "I am deeply grateful for your long journey. Our Penglai Sword Sect has no enmity with the Wind-Thunder Pavilion. We only rescued your disciple from the Wind-Thunder Pavilion Master. After that, the Wind-Thunder Pavilion acted like madmen, massacring the cities that paid tribute to our Penglai Sword Sect, causing widespread suffering. That is why I sent Elder to seek help from Mount Shu."
"I understand the situation here. The reason I brought this group of cultivators from Xia Province is to eradicate the Demon-Summoning Devil Palace and to help your Penglai Sword Sect defeat the Wind-Thunder Pavilion."
"Oh? May I ask, Mount Shu Sect Master, what level has your cultivation reached?"
The Penglai Fairy looked on with her beautiful eyes, full of anticipation.
Lu Changsheng seemed confident in defeating the Demon-Summoning Devil Palace and the Wind-Thunder Pavilion. Could it be that Lu Changsheng was a powerhouse at the Fifth Layer of the Dao Integration Realm?
"I am at the Second Layer of Dao Integration Realm."
"Only the second floor..."
A hint of disappointment flashed across the once bright eyes of the Penglai Fairy.
The cultivation level of this Mount Shu Sect Master is too low.
Penglai Fairy herself was at the Dao Integration Realm, originally at the same level as Wind-Thunder Pavilion Lei Tiannan. Because the Penglai Sword Sect and Wind-Thunder Pavilion were evenly matched, they kept to themselves and did not interfere with each other.
In recent years, the cultivation of the Wind-Thunder Pavilion Master has advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the Fourth Layer of the Dao Integration Realm, breaking the balance between the Penglai Sword Sect and the Wind-Thunder Pavilion, and Penglai Sword Sect to suffer repeated defeats.
How could Lu Changsheng, who is only at the Second Layer of Dao Integration Realm, defeat Lei Tiannan?
"The Mount Shu Sect Master is only at the Second Layer of Dao Integration Realm. Even if he joins forces with our Sect Master, they might not be a match for the Wind-Thunder Pavilion."
"According to the ancient records of our Penglai Sword Sect, Ten Thousand Years Ago, our Sect Master was defeated by the Tai Xu True Person of Mount Shu, who was at the Great Completion of the Dao Integration Realm. I thought that even if the Mount Shu Sect Master wasn't at the Great Completion of the Dao Integration Realm, he would at least have the cultivation of the Fifth Layer of the Dao Integration Realm. I never expected that Mount Shu had declined to such an extent that the Mount Shu Sect Master only has the cultivation of the Second Layer of Dao Integration Realm."
"Xia Province seems to be in a period of transition, and its overall strength is not as good as the seven Sects of Luzhou. This is troublesome."
"Well."
The Elders of the Penglai Sword Sect Nine Heavens True Lord Palace showed even more obvious disappointment.
They had hoped that the arrival of the Mount Shu would turn the tide, but the highest cultivation level among the cultivators in Xia Province was only at the Second Layer of Dao Integration Realm, which was different from the Mount Shu Penglai Sword Sect.
Yu Xuanji, Grandmaster Chen, High Person Wuxiang, and other cultivators from Xia Province could sense the disappointment among the Penglai Sword Sect members.
However, they thought to themselves, "Lu Changsheng, this Second Layer of Dao Integration Realm cultivator, is no ordinary Second Layer of Dao Integration Realm."
Lu Changsheng dared to challenge Demon Lord at the third level of the Dao Integration Realm while he was at the Peak Void Refinement Realm. When he joined forces with Xia Ningxue, they could even kill Demon Lord who had burned his Phoenix Blood and raised his cultivation to the Fourth Layer of the Dao Integration Realm.
Now that Lu Changsheng has reached the Second Layer of Dao Integration Realm, no one knows exactly how powerful Lu Changsheng can be.
Lu Changsheng's cultivation level was very deceptive; even Penglai Fairy was deceived by Lu Changsheng's apparent cultivation level.
Realm is one thing, combat strength is another.
"Since you have come from afar, please stay on our Penglai Immortal Island for now. We will make our move once I have devised a plan to deal with the Pavilion Master of the Wind-Thunder Pavilion."
Penglai Fairy was disappointed by the arrival of Lu Changsheng and his entourage, but as the Sect Master of the Penglai Sword Sect, she still did her duty as a host and arranged accommodations for the Xia Province cultivators who were supporting Penglai Immortal Island.
Lu Changsheng's cultivation level is too low. She is not confident that she can join forces with Lu Changsheng to defeat Lei Tiannan. She must come up with a foolproof plan.
"Master, that Penglai Fairy seems quite disappointed in us."
Chen Xiaoyao noticed the disappointment in Penglai Fairy's eyes. After leaving the Nine Heavens True Lord Palace, he put his hands behind his neck and spoke his mind.
"At this moment, the very survival of the Penglai Sword Sect is at stake. My cultivation level is lower than that of the Wind-Thunder Pavilion Master, so it's not surprising that she has some doubts."
Lu Changsheng cultivated peacefully on Penglai Immortal Island.
He still has many Cultivation Method to practice and cannot stop.
The twelfth level of the Taiqing Wuji Art, the Undying Divine Art, the Golden Bell Shield, the Drunken Immortal Gazing at the Moon Steps, the Seven-Star Sword Formation, the Heavenly Escape Swordsmanship...
It was precisely because of these extraordinary Cultivation Method that Lu Changsheng was able to fight across ranks.
Lu Changsheng did not forget to continue teaching apprentices.
Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Chen Yao the innate superior-grade Law Treasure "Thunder Qilin Sword," and received Ten-Thousandfold Return Reward mentoring: the Middle-Grade Immortal Artifact "Yu Heng Sword."
Ding! 1 Immortal Artifact return opportunity available this month. 1 Immortal Artifact return opportunity remaining this month.
An Immortal Sword with lightning appeared within Lu Changsheng's body. Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder roared within Lu Changsheng's Inner World, accompanied by howling winds.
The words "Alioth" are clearly engraved on the blade of this Immortal Sword.
Yu Heng Sword: Middle-Grade Immortal Sword, one of the Seven Immortal Swords of the Seven-Star Sword Formation, capable of drawing upon the stellar power of the Alioth Star.
"The second Seven Star Sword."
Lu Changsheng had already obtained the Yao Guang Sword, and now he has obtained the Yu Heng Sword.
Lu Changsheng has already obtained two of the seven star swords that make up the Seven-Star Sword Formation.
Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Lu Qinglian Eighth-Grade Medicinal Pills, the "Red Emperor Dragonforce Pill," and received an eight-thousand-fold reward for mentoring: Tenth-Rank Immortal Pill, the "Nine Dragons Essence-Enhancing Pill."
Nine Dragons Essence-Enhancing Pill: Tenth-Rank Immortal Pill, a supreme immortal Immortal Pill Xuelian. It can provide a large amount of True Qi for temporary enhancement of cultivation.
Another Tenth-Rank Immortal Pill!
Lu Changsheng obtained a Purple-Gold Eight Trigrams Gourd sealed with Talisman, inside which was a Tenth-Rank Immortal Pill with astonishing medicinal power.
The Red Emperor Dragonforce Pill can be used in the Void Refinement Realm to temporarily boost cultivation, while the Nine Dragons Essence-Enhancing Pill has the same effect but can be used in the Dao Integration Realm. If it were to spread, it would be enough to cause a frenzy among the Dao Integration Realm experts.
Lu Changsheng put away the Nine Dragons Essence-Enhancing Pill, keeping it as a means to save his life.
Nine Heavens True Lord Palace, the high-ranking members of the Penglai Sword Sect held a private meeting, their brows furrowed with worry.
"Xia Province has four experts at the Dao Integration Realm, but only one is at the Second Layer of Dao Integration Realm. The other three have only recently entered the Dao Integration Realm. Even if we include them, we are not necessarily a match for the Wind-Thunder Pavilion."
"Sect Master, what should we do now?"
"Sigh, I'm at my wit's end too."
Penglai Fairy had originally hoped that the cultivation level of the Mount Shu Sect Master would surpass that of the Wind-Thunder Pavilion Master, but things didn't go as planned. The Mount Shu Sect Master's cultivation level was even lower than hers, the sect Sect Master of the Penglai Sword Sect. How could she possibly expect anything from him?
"Penglai Fairy, I, the Pavilion Master, have come to take over Penglai Immortal Island! If you lead the Penglai Sword Sect to submit to me and become my dao companion, I may spare your life!"
Suddenly, a loud voice echoed across Penglai Immortal Island, causing countless palaces to tremble, cranes to take flight, and spirit turtles to sink into the sea.
The Penglai Fairy turned pale. "Oh no, the Wind-Thunder Pavilion is here!"
