Seven Hundred Years in Seclusion, Battling Sun Jian! (4K)

Lu Changsheng was in seclusion for seven days, which was also the last hundred years he spent in the Cultivation Space.

Lu Changsheng wielded the Demon-Suppressing Sword, and the four Principle water, fire, wind, and thunder continuously evolved and merged with each other to form the Xuanhuang Qi.

The Xuanhuang Sword Qi appeared, and a terrifying pressure spread, causing the Cultivation Space to tremble.

"In the beginning, in the Taishi and boundless primordial state, the pure and the turbid flowed together, and the black and the yellow were intertwined!"

Lu Changsheng unleashed his final sword strike, a strike that pierced through ten thousand feet, shattering the earth and turning rocks along its path into nothingness, stretching all the way forward.

When a mountain encountered the Xuanhuang Sword Qi, the entire mountain shattered and returned to Primordial Chaos.

"What amazing Sword Art!"

Xia Ningxue, dressed in a white dress and carrying the Slaying Immortal Sword, stood in the air, her long Black Hair dancing in the wind, her bright eyes filled with admiration.

Xia Ningxue has been in seclusion for over six hundred years, and her cultivation level has risen once again, making her temperament even more extraordinary.

Xia Ningxue only exudes the icy aura of the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Art when facing others, but after spending more than 600 years with Lu Changsheng, she unconsciously withdraws the icy aura of the Cultivation Method.

Based on her knowledge, she also believed that the Supreme Swordsmanship created by Lu Changsheng was far too powerful.

"Call."

Lu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He combined four Immortal Stage Upper-Grade Swordsmanship — the Divine Sword Wind-Riding True Formula, the Divine Sword Thunder-Riding True Formula Divine Sword Water-Riding True Formula, and the Divine Sword Fire-Riding True Formula —and deduced Sword Art for over six hundred years, finally creating a Swordsmanship that surpassed the Immortal Stage!

This Swordsmanship also incorporates the sword intent of the successive leaders of the Shushan Sect Master from the Myriad Sword Walls, as well as the Nameless Swordsmanship from the Qingxia Ancient Cave.

"Next, it's time to cultivate the * Taiqing Heavenly Scripture *."

Although there isn't much time left, only about fifty years, even a little understanding is worthwhile.

Outside, at the Dragon Field of the Stars Pavilion, countless powerful figures have gathered for the sixth round of the Central Continent Conference.

"What should we do? Master hasn't arrived yet."

Ji Xuan was somewhat anxious.

Lu Changsheng's number is one, so he will be the first person to go on stage.

If Lu Changsheng fails to appear in time, then it will be considered a forfeit.

"Junior Sister Xia has disappeared with the Shushan Sect Master. If she doesn't show up either, our Ask Immortal Pavilion forfeit. Anyway, it's already quite an achievement for us to make it into the top thirty-two this time. It's a pity; if Junior Sister Xia had more time to cultivate, her cultivation would definitely reach the Peak of the Dao Integration Realm. At that point, she might even make it into the Top Eight, or even the top four."

Zeng Yeqiu, Xiao Menger, and several of Xia Ningxue's Senior Sisters discovered that Xia Ningxue's aura had disappeared for seven days.

If Xia Ningxue hadn't warned them beforehand, they would have thought something had happened to Xia Ningxue.

The members of the Ask Immortal Pavilion were in a good mood; Xia Ningxue's ability to enter the top thirty-two was already a fitting tribute to the previous leaders of the Ask Immortal Pavilion.

There are over a thousand Sects in this realm qualified to participate in the Central Continent Conference, and the Ask Immortal Pavilion's ranking among the top thirty-two is quite remarkable.

"Strange, why didn't Lu Changsheng come? Could it be that he's afraid of me?"

Sun Jian of the Ten Thousand Swords Manor sneered when he discovered that his sixth-round opponent, Lu Changsheng, had disappeared.

He was one of the strongest Xiuzhenzhe in this world, so it was only natural that Lu Changsheng was defeated and forfeited.

However, this meant that Sun Jian would no longer be able to cripple Lu Changsheng's cultivation.

"Wait, Xia Ningxue isn't here either, damn it."

Sun Jian noticed that Xia Ningxue and Lu Changsheng had disappeared together, and his eyes turned sinister.

Even if Lu Changsheng lost the competition, he won in life.

"The Master's Swordsmanship is unparalleled. Presumably, Lu Changsheng of Shushan is afraid of the Master's reputation, which is why he is hesitant to fight."

"The Lord of the Manor is unparalleled in the world; his Ascension to the Immortal Realm is just around the corner."

The sword cultivators of the Ten Thousand Swords Manor all praised their master, Sun Jian.

Sun Jian mastered the Ten Thousand Swords Manor's Sect-Defending Cultivation Method, and his understanding of Sword Dao was unparalleled in Central Province. Even the Stars Pavilion Master and the Dragon-Tiger Sect Master could not surpass Sun Jian in Sword Dao alone.

Sun Jian listened with relish to the flattery from his entourage.

His achievements in Sword Dao deserve these praises.

Where did the Shushan Sect Master go?

The Stars Pavilion Master discovered that the sixth round of the competition was about to begin, and of the first pair to compete, Lu Changsheng and Sun Jian, only Sun Jian showed up.

"What is Chen Xiaoyao's master up to...?"

Tang Ling’er followed the Stars Pavilion Master and noticed that Chen Xiaoyao's master, Lu Changsheng, was missing.

Although Tang Ling’er's relationship with Chen Xiaoyao is not closely related to Lu Changsheng is still Chen Xiaoyao's master. If Lu Changsheng is afraid of Sun Jian of the Ten Thousand Swords Manor, he will definitely be looked down upon by the Stars Pavilion Master. The Stars Pavilion Master may not respect Shushan, which will indirectly affect the development of the relationship between Tang Ling’er and Chen Xiaoyao.

Tang Ling’er couldn't help but feel anxious.

"The sixth round of the Central Province Dao Discussion is about to begin. Please welcome Master Sun and Sect Master Lu to the stage for their duel!"

The Grand Supreme Elders of the Stars Pavilion, who presided over the Central Continent Conference, possessed a powerful voice that resonated like thunder, audible to the experts from all the major continents.

A sword flashed from the west and disappeared in an instant. By the time everyone reacted, Sun Jian, the master of the Ten Thousand Swords Manor, had already arrived on the Martial Platform.

Sun Jian, dressed in white Sword Attire, carried two Long Swords on his back, his hands behind his back, with an arrogant expression, and invisible Sword Qi roamed around the Martial Platform.

The swords at the waists of the spectators on the viewing platform trembled violently, as if influenced by the Lord of Ten Thousand Swords, and were involuntarily rejoicing.

Everyone quickly circulated their True Qi to suppress their respective Swordsmanship.

Where is Sect Master Lu of Shushan?

The Grand Supreme Elders the Stars Pavilion and the powerful Sects from various sects across the continents on the viewing platform finally noticed that Lu Changsheng Shushan Sect Master, had not yet arrived.

Everyone looked towards the location of the Shushan group, but Lu Changsheng was nowhere to be seen.

Why isn't the Shushan Sect Master here?

"Could it be that the Shushan Sect Master is afraid of the Ten Thousand Swords Manor, and therefore surrendered without a fight?"

"If they didn't dare to confront Ten Thousand Swords Manor, they shouldn't have just run away, right? That would only make them look even more shameful."

"I thought that with the cultivation level of the Shushan Sect Master, he should at least be able to fight Sun Jian and force Sun Jian to use the Ten Thousand Swords Manor's signature sword Swordsmanship. I didn't expect the Shushan Sect Master to be such a coward, not even daring to step forward."

Many powerful figures from various Sects across the provinces ridiculed them.

Lu Changsheng had not appeared for a long time, and everyone thought that Lu Changsheng was cowardly and dared not show himself.

Great Wu Empress Wu Yue sat on her high seat, her beautiful eyes sparkling. She didn't quite believe that Lu Changsheng was avoiding battle out of cowardice. Lu Changsheng didn't seem like a weakling to her.

"Hey, Chen Xiaoyao's master is truly a useless piece of trash, far inferior to the Three Great Sects of Central Province. His disciple dared to offend me; after the Central Continent Conference, I will definitely go and cause trouble for Shushan."

The young master of the Dragon-Tiger Sect, Zhang Sheng, revealed a fierce glint in his eyes.

He was brutally beaten by Lu Changsheng, Lu Qinglian's Second Disciple, and lost face in front of many Elders of the Dragon-Tiger Sect, which made him resentful.

Compared to a powerful Sects like the Dragon-Tiger Sect, Shushan is nothing special.

Even the Shushan Sect Master Ten Thousand Swords Manor dared not challenge the leader of the Shu Mountain Sect, let alone the sect leader of the Dragon-Tiger Sect.

Zhang Qinlong, the sect leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect, already knew about his son being injured by Lu Qinglian: "Our Dragon Tiger Sect has been established in Zhongzhou for a million years and is a powerful and respected sect. How dare a junior from Shushan bully you? After the Zhongzhou Conference, I will demand an explanation from Shushan."

Zhang Qinlong held a high position in Central Province, and even the Stars Pavilion Master treated him with great respect.

He had a son late in life, and Zhang Sheng had Special Physique and extremely high aptitude, second only to Tang Ling’er among the younger generation in Central Province. Therefore, Zhang Qinlong regarded this son as the apple of his eye.

Zhang Sheng was almost killed by Lu Qinglian; how could Zhang Qinlong swallow this insult?

The Grand Supreme Elders the Stars Pavilion, who was presiding over the Central Continent Conference, was stunned when he saw that only one person was going on stage and the Shushan Sect Master had suddenly disappeared.

Sun Jian coldly said, "The Shushan Sect Master must be afraid of my Supreme Sword Art, so he's afraid to fight and doesn't dare to come out. Just consider it a forfeit."

"Yes..." The Grand Supreme Elders the Stars Pavilion still wanted to give the Lord of the Ten Thousand Swords Manor some face. He looked at the Shushan people, "If your Shushan Sect Master does not appear within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, it will be considered a forfeit."

The Shushan people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Lu Changsheng had informed the Shushan people in advance that he would be going into seclusion for seven days, but he disappeared without a trace. Even the Shushan people did not know where Lu Changsheng had gone.

Zhao Wuyan said, "Junior Brother Lu wouldn't really have run away, would he?"

Li Changye rolled his eyes. "Junior Brother Lu isn't that kind of person. Junior Brother Zhao, isn't this your style?"

Zhao Wuyan blushed and coughed twice.

To be honest, if it were Zhao Wuyan facing the master of the Ten Thousand Swords Manor, it wouldn't be impossible for Zhao Wuyan to just run away.

After all, not everyone has the courage to fight against the Peak of the Dao Integration Realm expert.

If Sun Jian were to harbor murderous intent, a single misstep would reduce his opponent to ashes under the Ten Thousand Swords Manor's Supreme Sword Art.

Situ Kong sighed, "Perhaps Changsheng suddenly had an epiphany while in seclusion and doesn't want to miss the opportunity, which is why he hasn't emerged yet. If Changsheng doesn't appear, then we, the Shushan, will forfeit."

Situ Kong believed that Shushan was in decline at the time, and that being able to enter the top thirty-two this time was already worthy of the ancestors of Shushan.

Time passed second by second, but Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue still did not appear.

"Hurry up."

Sun Jian was already getting impatient.

Although he could enter the seventh round of the competition without lifting a finger, he wanted to cripple Lu Changsheng's cultivation in the competition and then win Xia Ningxue's heart.

The Grand Supreme Elders of the Stars Pavilion took a deep breath. "The time it takes to drink a cup of tea is almost up. Since the Shushan Sect Master has not yet arrived, then let's consider it a forfeit..."

"Wait!"

Just as the Grand Supreme Elders of the Stars Pavilion was about to announce Lu Changsheng's withdrawal, a loud voice rang out.

Two figures, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, descended from their flying swords, like a pair of celestial lovers.

"Master!"

"Junior Brother Lu!"

"Sect Master!"

The disciples of Azure Cloud Peak and the Shushan people were overjoyed.

Lu Changsheng finally arrived at the last moment!

A stir broke out among the powerful figures from various states watching from the viewing platform.

The Shushan Sect Master did not abstain; he actually dared to challenge the master of the Ten Thousand Swords Manor!

"It seems Junior Sister Xia is alright, that's wonderful."

The members of the Ask Immortal Pavilion secretly broke out in a cold sweat.

Xia Ningxue disappeared Shadowless for the past seven days, and everyone in the Ask Immortal Pavilion thought something had happened to Xia Ningxue.

Xia Ningxue is Peerless Genius nurtured by the Ask Immortal Pavilion with all the resources of the sect.

If Xia Ningxue were to perish, it's uncertain when the Ask Immortal Pavilion would ever regain its former glory.

"Strange, how come these two people's demeanor has undergone such a dramatic change?"

Situ Kong, Grandmaster Chen, Yu Xuanji, and High Person Wuxiang, these elders who were familiar with Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue, keenly noticed that Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue's demeanor had become more composed.

Previously, Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue had not cultivated for long, and their demeanor was somewhat immature. Now, with seven hundred years of experience, their demeanor has been completely transformed.

"Not only that, their cultivation levels are even more unfathomable. It's truly unimaginable that such a transformation could occur in just seven days of seclusion. What exactly were they doing during those seven days?"

Yu Xuanji couldn't believe it.

It's only been seven days.

For the Dao Integration Realm expert, seven days is but a fleeting moment; how could such a change have occurred?

"I'm going to fight Sun Jian. You should go back first."

"Um."

Xia Ningxue returned to the group at the Ask Immortal Pavilion.

She and Lu Changsheng had been in seclusion in the Cultivation Space for seven hundred years, and she knew Lu Changsheng's true strength. Therefore, she had full confidence in Lu Changsheng and was not worried.

Lu Changsheng, dressed in a black outfit and carrying only a Long Sword, came to the Martial Platform and confronted the master of the Ten Thousand Swords Manor.

The invisible Sword Qi collided with each other.

Before either of them moved, their Sword Qi were already clashing.

"You have quite the nerve to show your face. Aren't you afraid I'll cripple your cultivation? If you're defeated by me, just kneel down and beg for mercy, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, the sudden fall from grace of Peerless Genius with the potential to the Ascension to the Immortal Realm to a mere mortal will force you to end your own life."

Sun Jian coldly sized up Lu Changsheng. The other party's aura remained at the Early Stage of the Dao Integration Realm, but Sun Jian knew that Lu Changsheng's true realm should be around the Sixth Layer of the Dao Integration Realm, yet he possessed the combat power of the Dao Integration Realm Eighth Layer.

Such strength is astonishing.

Unfortunately, Sun Jian was a Peak of the Dao Integration Realm and the number one swordsman in Central Province.

"Is that so? In that case, I should thank you. But I might not be the one begging for forgiveness later."

Since the other party looked down on him, Lu Changsheng also spoke sarcastically.

The crowd in the stands erupted in uproar.

Before the competition, Lu Changsheng actually dared to verbally provoke Sun Jian.

Sun Jian is one of the strongest people in Central Province!

Even the Stars Pavilion Master and the Dragon-Tiger Sect Master would have to go all out against Sun Jian.

"Isn't the Shushan Sect Master afraid of angering Sun Jian and having his Sun Jian destroyed by him?"

"Truly, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. What a pity for such a Peerless Genius."

"It's better for the Shushan Sect Master to forfeit than to lose his life, since he has angered the opponent."

The spectators on the stands whispered among themselves.

"These people, when Master doesn't fight, they say he's cowardly; now that he's fighting, they say he's irrational. If I ever reach the Great Completion of the Dao Integration Realm, I'll definitely give them a good beating."

Lu Qinglian clenched her fists, annoyed by these whispering fellows.

"Junior Sister Xia, do you think the Shushan Sect Master has any hope of defeating Sun Jian? Sun Jian's Supreme Sword Art has reached an unbelievable level."

Xiao Menger Liu Mei Ask Immortal Pavilion frowned slightly. After entering the Void Refinement Realm, she could better perceive the terrifying power of the Ten Thousand Swords Manor's Supreme Sword Art.

Xia Ningxue's eyes were firm. "It's definitely possible."
