Ten years after the Central Continent Conference, the Shushan Apprentice-Selection Ceremony was held as usual to recruit disciples.

This Apprentice-Selection Ceremony, however, was different from others.

Young geniuses from various states flocked to Xiazhou to participate in the Shushan's Apprentice-Selection Ceremony.

Lu Changsheng, the Shushan Sect Master, won Champion in the Central Continent Conference, becoming famous throughout the world and attracting geniuses from all over the continents to come and learn from him.

Lu Changsheng displayed Saint-tier Sword Art at the Central Continent Conference, along with the supreme treasure Twelfth-Rank Karma-Fire Red Lotus.

Shushan has become a super Sects in the eyes of cultivators from various states, on par with the Stars Pavilion, Dragon-Tiger Sect, and Ten Thousand Swords Manor.

In previous Shushan Apprentice-Selection Ceremonies, there were only about 10,000 candidates, but this time there are hundreds of thousands of Shushan Disciples!

The Elders of Shushan were all smiles, and many of the Grand Supreme Elders to take on disciples.

This Shushan Apprentice-Selection Ceremony has attracted many talented individuals from Other Provinces, making it an event of unprecedented quality.

"The Shushan Sect Master is the strongest person in the world and is about to the Ascension to the Immortal Realm. To become his Personal Disciple would be an immense honor."

"I came all the way from Dan Province specifically to become a disciple of Shushan and learn the Supreme Sword Art."

"Come on, with your talent, you might not even be able to cultivate Heaven Stage Cultivation Method to perfection, let alone the Supreme Sword Art of the Shushan Sect Master?"

What's the difference between a person without dreams and a salted fish?

What are you looking at?

What are you looking at?

"This is a sacred area of Shushan; no noise is allowed!"

Hundreds of thousands of candidate disciples crowded the square of the Shushan Main Hall, a sea of people. Geniuses from different states even got into a fight due to pushing and shoving, and were driven away by the Shushan Disciples who were maintaining order.

These candidate disciples come from various states, and many are descendants sent by Elders of powerful Sects.

If one could learn Lu Changsheng's self-created Saint-tier Sword Art, that would be a once-in-a-lifetime fortuitous opportunity.

A series of streaks of light arrived at the Shushan Main Hall, where the Grand Supreme Elders of Shushan, including Taiyuan True Person, Situ Kong, Li Changye, and Murong Shi, were present.

The current Shushan Sect Master, Lu Changsheng, and all the disciples of Azure Cloud Peak were present.

Lu Changsheng's terrifying aura enveloped the Shushan Main Peak.

Not only the Shushan Main Peak, but all the peaks of Shushan were trembling.

Lu Changsheng's cultivation level has reached the Ninth Layer of the Dao Integration Realm, making him one of the strongest beings in this world.

Lu Changsheng's several Personal Disciples are all at the Refinement of the Void Refinement Realm. In any Sects, they would be Peerless Genius with a promising future.

"Greetings, Sect Master."

The Elders and disciples of Shushan shouted in unison, creating a powerful and resounding atmosphere.

The hundreds of thousands of candidates in the square of the Shushan Main Hall stood in solemn respect.

They traveled a great distance with the sole purpose of becoming Lu Changsheng's disciples.

Lu Changsheng is widely recognized as the strongest person in the world.

"I have never seen such a magnificent sight at Shushan."

Grandmaster Situ Kong and sighed with emotion.

This year's Apprentice-Selection Ceremony was dozens of times larger than previous ones, leaving even the thousand-year-old Situ Kong deeply impressed.

"This time, we at Shushan will raise our standards for selecting disciples."

The Elders of Shushan whispered among themselves.

Even the solitary Elders of Shushan wanted to take this opportunity to recruit one or two Peerless Genius as disciples.

Lu Changsheng flicked his sleeves, summoning the Low-Grade Immortal Artifact "Guts-Illuminating Mirror," which grew larger in the wind.

Guts-Illuminating Mirror can reveal the candidate's qualifications... One by one, the candidates step forward, and their qualifications are displayed in the Guts-Illuminating Mirror.

"Luo Xintang, Qi Condensation Realm Second Layer, with superior innate Root Bone and comprehension, but inferior Fortune, and possesses the Special Physique Thousand Poison Body."

"The Thousand Poison Body? This physique is extremely suitable for cultivating Poison Cultivation Method. As long as the Poison Cultivation Method are used for righteous purposes, it's not impossible."

"That's right. If someone with this Special Physique were in the old Ten Thousand Myriad Poison Valley, they would definitely have hailed her as Saintess."

The Elders of Shushan were in an uproar.

Among hundreds of thousands of disciple candidates, less than a thousand have already produced Special Physique like the Thousand Poison Body!

Everyone turned to look at Lu Changsheng, wondering if he would accept this disciple as his apprentice.

Lu Changsheng shook his head.

He is about to the Ascension to the Immortal Realm and will not have much time to train another disciple.

Even if Lu Changsheng wanted to take on disciples, he could only do so in the Immortal Realm to receive the rewards for teaching disciples.

Although the Thousand Poison Body is rare, Lu Changsheng remained unmoved, even with six disciples already under his belt.

After Lu Changsheng broadened his horizons, he became more demanding in accepting apprentices.

The girl named Luo Xintang couldn't help but feel disappointed.

With her physique, if she wanted to join another Sects, she might be able to receive the Sect Master's guidance.

Under the protection of powerful Lineage, she traveled a great distance to Shushan, intending to join the Azure Cloud Peak, not to become one of the other Elders.

Shushan only has three Dao Integration Realm experts: Lu Changsheng, Situ Kong, and Taiyuan True Person. The other Grand Supreme Elders are only at the Void Refinement Realm. Compared to the Grand Supreme Elders of powerful Sects such as Stars Pavilion, Dragon-Tiger Sect, and Ten Thousand Swords Manor, their resources are far inferior.

Seeing the concerns of the many candidates, Lu Changsheng said, "When I Ascension to the Immortal Realm, all my Cultivation Method will remain at Shushan. Anyone who contributes to Shushan will have the opportunity to exchange them for Cultivation Method."

The hundreds of thousands of candidates below were in an uproar.

Even if the Shushan Sect Master doesn't accept disciples, would they still have a chance to come into contact with Lu Changsheng's self-created Cultivation Method?

"Changsheng..."

Situ Kong and Taiyuan True Person were moved.

In order to help Shushan retain its talent, Lu Changsheng was actually willing to leave all the Cultivation Method he had mastered behind at Shushan.

The Ten Thousand Swords Manor has stood for hundreds of thousands of years, attracting countless Sword Dao geniuses to join, precisely because of its Ten Thousand Swords Manor -Saint-tier Sword Art, "No Self, No Sword".

Now, Lu Changsheng has created the Saint-tier Sword Art "Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow Sword Art", which defeated Sun Jian's "No Self, No Sword" at the Central Continent Conference and has become the Sect-Defending Cultivation Method of Shushan, attracting more Sword Dao geniuses.

Although only a handful of people will ultimately be able to learn Saint-tier Sword Art, the outcome will be the same even if one joins the Ten Thousand Swords Manor. Only true geniuses will have the opportunity to learn Saint-tier Sword Art- Saint-tier Sword Art swordsmanship and will be able to master it. Otherwise, Saint-tier Sword Art is obscure and difficult to understand for ordinary cultivators. Even if they want to learn it, they may not be able to get the hang of it and may even reveal Lu Changsheng's self-created Saint-tier Sword Art.

Lu Changsheng's Fifth Disciple Ji Xuan, realized that Lu Changsheng was preparing to the Ascension to the Immortal Realm and didn't have the energy to train new disciples, so she took the initiative and said, "I am the Fifth Disciple of Azure Cloud Peak, and I intend to take you as my disciple. Are you willing?"

Ji Xuan possesses the Demon God Body and rules over the Desolate Province Demon Race. Once she speaks, the other Elders of Shushan cannot compete with Ji Xuan for disciples... Luo Xintang was initially quite disappointed, but Lu Changsheng himself did not take on any disciples, his Personal Disciples did, so Luo Xintang could still join Azure Cloud Peak.

Shushan Azure Cloud Peak has become the most famous branch of Shushan.

"Master, please accept this bow from your disciple Luo Xintang."

Luo Xintang knelt down and performed the disciple's ceremony, formally becoming Ji Xuan's disciple.

"All six of my Personal Disciples possess the aptitude to the Ascension to the Immortal Realm. It is your honor to become a disciple of my Fifth Disciple; do not become arrogant or complacent."

Lu Changsheng realized that his disciples were all qualified to take on apprentices, and couldn't help but sigh at how quickly time had passed. At the same time, he reminded Luo Xintang, who possessed the Thousand Poison Body, not to be arrogant.

The Thousand Poison Body is a rather good Special Physique, but Lu Changsheng's six disciples, namely the Evergreen Body, the Martial King Divine Physique, the Literary Sage Physique, the Pure Yang Body, the Demon God Body, and the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden Physique, are all of superior quality to the Thousand Poison Body.

Lu Changsheng had also witnessed Special Physiques such as the Innate Dao Body, the Spirit Wa Saint Body, the Nirvana Phoenix Physique, and the Spirit Sword Body.

Lu Changsheng defeated various peerless experts with perfected Special Physiques at the Central Continent Conference. The young geniuses who were revered as the pride of heaven in various continents were really nothing in Lu Changsheng's eyes.

After accepting Luo Xintang as her disciple Ji Xuan, the Fifth Disciple of Azure Cloud Peak, continued the Apprentice-Selection Ceremony.

Seeing the Peerless Genius emerging at the Shushan Apprentice-Selection Ceremony, Li Changye, Murong Shi, and other Grand Supreme Elders couldn't resist taking on their own disciples.

Even Zhao Wuyan, Elder of Finger Moon Peak, managed to snag a few Peerless Genius.

It is evident that Lu Changsheng's victory in the Central Continent Conference has indeed made Shushan famous, attracting Peerless Genius from all over the country. Even Zhao Wuyan, who had only recently entered the Void Refinement Realm, was able to select several promising talents.

There were hundreds of thousands of candidates for this Apprentice-Selection Ceremony, but after a day of selection, only a portion of them were chosen.

The Apprentice-Selection Ceremony continued the following day.

"Li Jianfei, fourth level of the Qi Condensation Realm, with superior innate Root Bone, superior comprehension, and superior Fortune, possesses Special Physique — the Spirit Sword Body."

"Spirit Sword Body?"

"Another Spirit Sword Body has appeared?"

As a young man carrying Long Sword underwent a aptitude test in front of the Guts-Illuminating Mirror, the Guts-Illuminating Mirror shone with golden light, and the three golden ancient seal characters "Spirit Sword Body" appeared on its bright surface.

The Spirit Sword Body is Special Physique that is said to be most suitable for the Sword Dao.

Penglai Fairy and Sun Jian, these Sword Dao masters, are both Spirit Sword Bodies.

Young and vigorous, Li Jianfei stood tall and proud, his sharp gaze fixed on Lu Changsheng, who sat in the very center of the Shushan Main Hall.

Lu Changsheng, having created his own Saint-tier Sword Art, will undoubtedly value young geniuses with the Spirit Sword Body.

Lu Changsheng might look down on the Thousand Poison Body, a Special Physique, but he would definitely be impressed by his Spirit Sword Body.

However, Lu Changsheng remained unmoved.

Isn't it just the Spirit Sword Body?

Xiao Xiangdao, the Personal Disciple of the Senior Brother Li Changye, possesses the Spirit Sword Body.

Sun Jian, the master of the Ten Thousand Swords Manor, a person who Great-Completion Spirit Sword Body, was still defeated by Lu Changsheng, who did not possess the Spirit Sword Body.

"Master, I wish to recruit this person to cultivate on our Azure Cloud Peak."

Lin Qingzhi, the Chief Grand Disciple of Azure Cloud Peak, pondered for a moment and decided to accept Li Jianfei as his Personal Disciple... "Hmm."

Lu Changsheng agreed.

When Lu Changsheng Ascension to the Immortal Realm, it will be Lin Qingzhi's turn to take charge of Azure Cloud Peak. Lin Qingzhi will also need to take on disciples, teach them Cultivation Method, and help Lin Qingzhi handle some trivial matters.

"I am Lin Qingzhi, the chief disciple of Azure Cloud Peak, and I intend to take you as my disciple. Are you willing?"

Originally, the other Elders of Shushan had intended to take Li Jianfei as their Personal Disciple, but when Lin Qingzhi, the chief disciple of Azure Cloud Peak, spoke up, everyone backed down.

Sect Master Lu Changsheng seems to dislike having too many Disciples and doesn't want to take on more. So, if Lin Qingzhi Lu Changsheng in accepting disciples, no one will compete with Lin Qingzhi for the disciples.

Moreover, Lin Qingzhi is currently at the Eighth Layer of the Void Refinement Realm, and he won't be long before he reaches the Dao Integration Realm!

In the entire Shushan, there are no more than ten people whose cultivation level is higher than Lin Qingzhi's.

"This disciple is willing!"

Li Jianfei quickly agreed.

Although it's unclear why Lu Changsheng, the Shushan Sect Master, looked down on even the Peerless Genius with the Spirit Sword Body, since it was Lu Changsheng's personal Eldest Disciple who accepted the apprentice, it shouldn't be too different from Lu Changsheng personally accepting the apprentice, right?

However, what Li Jianfei didn't know was that there was a significant difference between Lu Changsheng personally accepting disciples and Lin Qingzhi accepting disciples on Lu Changsheng's behalf. In the latter case, one could not receive Lu Changsheng's Transmission Empowerment and could only cultivate slowly.

Lu Changsheng's cultivation level has reached the Ninth Layer of the Dao Integration Realm. He is constantly consolidating his realm and preparing to pass through the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulations and Ascension to the Immortal Realm. He has no time to take care of more disciples.

Lu Qinglian, Chen Xiaoyao, Mo Huazhi, and Chen Yao each recruited several disciples, expanding the size of Azure Cloud Peak's disciples.

These disciples who joined Azure Cloud Peak were all Peerless Genius from various states, including Body Tempering, Confucian Dao and Daoist practitioners, and Demon Race cultivators.

Azure Cloud Peak has grown from one person, Lu Changsheng, to more than a dozen people, and each disciple is Peerless Genius.

This can be considered the legacy that Lu Changsheng left for Shushan.

Even if Lu Changsheng Ascension to the Immortal Realm, Azure Cloud Peak can still continuously cultivate Peerless Genius for Shushan, ensuring that Shushan remains one of the most powerful Sects in this realm for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

"Damn it, Lin Qingzhi's cultivation level has actually surpassed my master's, and the disciples he recruited are all Spirit Sword Body just like me..."

Xiao Xiangdao gritted his teeth.

Lin Qingzhi's cultivation speed is simply astonishing, surpassing even Li Changye's.

Xiao Xiangdao and Lin Qingzhi were Shushan Disciples of the same generation from Xiao Xiangdao's cultivation level was much higher than Lin Qingzhi's. However, not long after, Lin Qingzhi was already preparing to break through to the Dao Integration Realm, while Xiao Xiangdao was still in the Dao Palace Realm.

If this trend continues, once Lu Changsheng Ascension to the Immortal Realm, Lin Qingzhi will very likely succeed Lu Changsheng and become the Twenty-Ninth Generation Shushan Sect Master Shushan, ruling over the Shushan for thousands of years.

Xiao Xiangdao couldn't accept the thought of his former attendants, whose status was above his own.

Moreover, Lin Qingzhi's disciple was a Spirit Sword Body, exactly like Xiao Xiangdao, making it even harder for Xiao Xiangdao to accept.

However, Xiao Xiangdao was helpless.

With his current cultivation level, he is a whole realm below Lin Qingzhi, and Lin Qingzhi could defeat him with a single sword strike.

Xiao Xiangdao clenched his fist. "I am absolutely unwilling to lose to Lin Qingzhi like this. The path of cultivation is long and arduous. If we can both ultimately attain Changsheng, then it's hard to say who will win and who will lose."

The Shushan Apprentice-Selection Ceremony lasted for a full ten days before it finally ended.

Because there were so many Peerless Genius participating in the Shushan Apprentice-Selection Ceremony, Shushan made an exception and recruited 30,000 disciples this time, including 3,000 inner disciples.

This was taken into account the limited resources of Shushan; recruiting more disciples would only hinder their cultivation.

"Changsheng, I noticed you didn't accept a single disciple at this Apprentice-Selection Ceremony. It seems you're planning to the Ascension to the Immortal Realm soon."

Taiyuan True Person saw through Lu Changsheng's thoughts.

"Hmm." Lu Changsheng had nothing to hide from Taiyuan True Person, "But before Ascension to the Immortal Realm, I want to set up a scheme to completely eliminate the Evil Cultivators from the Immortal Realm and potential enemies who covet the Shushan Cultivation Method, so as to prevent future troubles and avoid the possibility that Shushan will be left unguarded after I Ascension to the Immortal Realm."

Lu Changsheng's eyes sharpened. Before Ascension, it was time to set a trap and wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop.

Some people died, but they weren't completely dead...
