"Lian, what is your current cultivation level?"
"Earth Immortal Realm Seventh Layer. After arriving in the Immortal Realm, Lian has been searching for her master everywhere. Two hundred years ago, Lian defeated the king of a nearby mountain stronghold and took his place, temporarily cultivating here. Because she heard about the activity at the Heavenly Court Ruins, she brought them here to explore for treasure."
As expected of Lian, she immediately took on the role of mountain king.
"You can go back now. I'll be following my master from now on."
Lu Qinglian dismissed the Bandits and returned to the Changsheng Sect.
The Bandits looked at each other in bewilderment. Their leader had run away with their master, so they had no choice but to head back home.
Lu Qinglian sized up Ning Qianqian, the eighth Disciple recruited by Lu Changsheng, and took the initiative to hug this junior sister, giving her a deep sniff.
"Senior Sister, what are you going to do?"
Ning Qianqian had a bad feeling.
Why does it feel like this Senior Sister is going to eat me alive?
"Junior sister, you look delicious."
Lu Qinglian's words startled Ning Qianqian.
Ning Qianqian possesses the Dragon Emperor Bloodline, and some powerful beings desire to use the Dragon Emperor's Blood to refine medicine. Lu Qinglian, on the other hand, is from the Wilderness Tribe and has consumed many Great Demons, making the Dragon Emperor Origin Core also attractive to Lu Qinglian.
"Lian, don't frighten your junior sister. Let's find the treasure that has just emerged as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications."
"Good."
Lu Changsheng led his four disciples through the Southern Heavenly Gate into the Heavenly Court Ruins.
With the ancient map given to him by the Yuehe Kingdom, and having personally felt the vibrations of the underground dragon veins, Lu Changsheng could basically determine the source of the vibrations at the Heavenly Court Ruins.
"Master, that skeleton looks like that of Heavenly Immortal."
Xiao Fan saw a skeleton that was not completely weathered in front of a collapsed Pavilion, and deduced that the person in life was Heavenly Immortal.
"Don't go near there easily."
Lu Changsheng knew that there were places where Heavenly Immortal beings had fallen, and that there might be High Antiquity arrays and mechanisms around them.
These High Antiquity arrays can absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and continue to operate as long as they are not destroyed.
Some High Antiquity arrays could even cause the death of Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Lu Changsheng traveled millions of miles into the Heavenly Court Ruins, occasionally seeing the corpses of Xiuzhenzhe and Great Demons along the way.
As for heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Lu Changsheng did not find any.
Although the Heavenly Court Ruins are Forbidden Grounds, over countless years, all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures have long been looted by the Great Luo Golden Immortals who came to search for treasures, so few people venture here anymore.
Lu Changsheng risked entering the Heavenly Court Ruins because of the Heavenly Court Ruins that was reported inside.
"The source of the earth's ley line energy should be here."
Finally, the group of master and disciples stopped in front of an ancient Daoist Temple.

"But this soil is new, could it be...?"
Dugu Aotian walked towards the Daoist Temple, took a handful of soil, and discovered that it was fresh soil turned up from the deepest part of the earth.
"This Daoist Temple may have emerged from underground during an earthquake. This means the Daoist Temple inside might not have been taken yet."
Lu Changsheng couldn't help but feel excited; there were even undiscovered buildings hidden underground within the Heavenly Court Ruins.
Lu Changsheng took out a Talisman and poured his Law Power into it, and a puppet at the Void Refinement Realm Great Completion appeared out of thin air.
The Eleventh-Grade Talisman, "Mixed-Gold Puppet Talisman," contains a Mixed-Gold Puppet at the Void Refinement Realm.
... Under Lu Changsheng's control, the Mixed-Gold Puppet scouted ahead to ensure there were no protective formations within the Daoist Temple.
"There is no danger."
The Mixed-Gold Puppet walked in front, without triggering the magic circle.
Lu Changsheng then entered the Daoist Temple, which was completely empty.
Inside the Daoist Temple, there is an ancient tree bearing thirty fruits that resemble human figures but exude an enticing fragrance.
Lu Qinglian and Ning Qianqian stared at the fruit on the tree, their mouths watering.
The two of them reached out and took a fruit, eating it with great relish.
Lu Changsheng knew that the fruit was not poisonous, so he let them eat it.
"Could this be Ginseng Fruit Tree?"
Lu Changsheng read extensively in the Scripture Repository of Jinglong Immortal Temple and learned about many rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the Immortal Realm.
The Ginseng Fruit Tree is Spirit Root of heaven and earth, flowering once every three thousand years and bearing fruit once every three thousand years. It takes another three thousand years to mature. If a person is fortunate enough to smell it, they can live for three hundred and sixty years; if they eat one, they can live for forty-seven thousand years.
Like the Peach of Immortality Tree Ginseng Fruit Tree is a rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can prolong life. However, the Ginseng Fruit Tree is even rarer, and the ginseng Ginseng Fruit it produces is Fourteenth Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Moreover, its effects do not stack with those of the Peach of Immortality.
For example, the Temple Master of Jinglong Immortal Temple, Qingyue Immortal Maiden, has a nine-thousand-year-old Peach of Immortality Tree, but she does not have Thirty-Thousand-Year Peach of Immortality tree or Ginseng Fruit Tree.
Lu Changsheng never expected to find a perfectly intact Ginseng Fruit Tree here.
With a flick of his sleeve, Lu Changsheng rolled up the entire Ginseng Fruit Tree and the surrounding soil, placing them into the small world he had created within his body.
Lu Changsheng entered the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and his inner Small World was comparable to the Immortal Ruins. Lu Changsheng transplanted the Ginseng Fruit Tree into the Medicinal Herb Garden of his inner world and began to cultivate his own Medicinal Herb Garden.
With a Ginseng Fruit Tree, Lu Changsheng could reward his Disciple with Ginseng Fruits.
Alternatively, one could use Ginseng Fruit to befriend a group of Loose Immortals, thereby strengthening the Sects and expanding its network of connections.
Cultivating immortality isn't about fighting and killing; it's about understanding human relationships and how important connections are.
The Demon Kings of Accumulated Thunder Mountain, Nine-Sage Mountain, and Cloud-Cutting Ridge became sworn brothers, working together to resist the surrounding Human Race Immortal Gate.
Ginseng Fruit can prolong one's lifespan. For some Earth Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, or even Great Luo Golden Immortal who are nearing their lifespan and have yet to break through to the next level, Ginseng Fruit can be considered an extremely precious treasure.
Their lifespan has been extended by 47,000 years, giving them a chance to attain enlightenment and extend their lifespan.
"I wonder what heavenly materials and earthly treasures you would receive in return for bestowing Ginseng Fruit upon your disciple?"
Ginseng Fruit is classified as a Fourteenth Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, so it's hard to imagine what level of treasure would be returned as a reward for giving Ginseng Fruit.

The disciples are currently at the Earth Immortal Realm, and have been rewarded with Fourteenth Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but the system has not yet returned the rewards.
However, there were thirty Ginseng Fruits, and the Ginseng Fruit Tree could produce thirty more fruits every nine thousand years. Lu Changsheng didn't mind, and casually gave each disciple three Ginseng Fruits to extend their lifespan.
Xiao Fan and Dugu Aotian both knew it was a good thing; in fact, one pill was enough to have a significant effect. Lu Changsheng even gave each of them three pills, showing his generosity.
Lu Changsheng also ate one himself.
Ginseng Fruit cannot infinitely increase one's potential; its effects will only diminish over time.
Lu Changsheng's cultivation speed was incredibly fast, and he wasn't worried at all about not being able to break through before his time was up.
Eating the Ginseng Fruit to extend one's lifespan was merely a precaution.
"... Besides the Ginseng Fruit Tree, does this Daoist Temple possess any other treasures?"
Lu Changsheng's Divine Sense swept across the entire Daoist Temple.
The fact that this Daoist Temple can be hidden deep underground, never seeing the light of day, and still retain its general appearance suggests that some treasure must be guarding Daoist Temple.
"This is?"
Lu Changsheng's Divine Sense spotted the only remaining book on the Daoist Temple's bookshelf.
It's not surprising that Daoist Temple buried underground, having endured countless years, would still have Ginseng Fruit Tree, a Spirit Root of heaven and earth, alive. But what kind of books could remain intact?
With a thought, Lu Changsheng drew the ancient books on the bookshelf into Lu Changsheng hands.
The cover of this extremely ancient book contains only two ancient characters: "Earth Book" (Di Shu).
Because Lu Changsheng cultivated the Quasi-Emperor Tier Cultivation Method "Limitless Profound Pure Dao," he mastered some ancient characters and recognized the title of the ancient book. However, Lu Changsheng was still stunned. What kind of book was this?
Earth Book?
Cultivation Method or Law Treasure?
Lu Changsheng flipped through it; the ancient book was entirely written in ancient characters, some of which Lu Changsheng couldn't even recognize.
Unable to figure it out, Lu Changsheng threw the strange ancient book, titled "The Earth Book," into his inner world.
Lu Changsheng believed that the book that could suppress the Daoist Temple, disappear underground, and remain there for millions of years must be extraordinary.
He searched the ground thoroughly but found no other Law Treasures.
"The commotion at the Heavenly Court Ruins might attract other powerful figures. Let's go."
Having obtained the Ginseng Fruit Tree and the Earth Book, Lu Changsheng knew that this place was not suitable for a long stay, so he led several disciples away from the Heavenly Court Ruins.
Before leaving, Lu Changsheng made sure to erase his presence.
Lu Changsheng traveled far and wide, being cautious and careful, always trying to erase the existence of his master and his disciples to avoid being tracked down by Great Expert.
As Dugu Aotian departed, he gazed upon the seemingly endless Heavenly Court Ruins, with the Southern Heavenly Gate towering tens of thousands of feet into the clouds. He couldn't help but wonder, "How strange! The High Antiquity Heavenly Court was so magnificent; it must have been filled with countless powerful beings back then. Why did it fall to this place?"
Xiao Fan interjected, "This is indeed strange. How high a Dao cultivation would it take to destroy the Heavenly Court and cause it to fall here?"
They couldn't even imagine what level of power that being who shattered the High Antiquity Heavenly Court possessed.
The beings of the High Antiquity Heavenly Court were basically among the strongest Xiuzhenzhe in the Immortal Realm, yet the High Antiquity Heavenly Court met such an end.

Lu Changsheng shook his head.
Records about the High Antiquity Heavenly Court are scarce. Lu Changsheng only knew that the High Antiquity Heavenly Court was destroyed by a powerful Devil Ancestor with his bare hands.
Lu Changsheng looked at Dugu Aotian. Dugu Aotian's Special Physique was the Devil Ancestor Dao Body. He wondered if Dugu Aotian could grow into a terrifying existence of that level in the future.
If Dugu Aotian were to one day possess the cultivation level to destroy the Heavenly Court, that would be far too defying the heavens.
When the commotion occurred at the Heavenly Court Ruins, Lu Changsheng happened to be in the Yuehe Kingdom, which was near the Heavenly Court Ruins. Therefore, Lu Changsheng was among the first group of Rogue Cultivators to enter the Heavenly Court Ruins and was the first to obtain the treasures inside.
After Lu Changsheng and his group left, another group of the Blood Sea Hall experts arrived at the Southern Heavenly Gate.
Leading the group was a dark-red-cloaked elder, who held a Blood Pearl in his hand. His aura was extremely terrifying, and the surrounding ruins trembled.
"Elder Hanchan and the others suddenly vanished here; it seems they have been Body and Spirit Annihilation."
... The dark-red-cloaked elder poured his True Qi into the Blood Pearl, causing it to glow brightly with crimson light and condense into a blood mirror in the air, beginning to trace back through Spacetime.
The other Elders and disciples of the Blood Sea Hall had fear in their eyes.
The Time Principle is a supreme Principle that only Great Luo Golden Immortal can master.
Although this only traces back to a fragment of time that has already occurred, it is already beyond the reach of Earth Immortals.
"Space was distorted, and our presence was concealed."
Within the blood mirror, the scene of Lu Changsheng and his disciples killing Elder Hanchan's team appeared. However, the space was distorted, and Lu Changsheng used Talisman to eliminate his aura, making the scene inside the blood mirror quite blurry, and it was impossible to clearly see the appearances of Lu Changsheng and his disciples.
"For some reason, I always feel that I have Cause and Effect with these people, and I have a bad feeling about it."
The dark-red-cloaked elder did not look at Lu Changsheng, but at Lu Qinglian.
Although he couldn't clearly see Lu Qinglian's appearance or sense Lu Qinglian aura, he was Great Demon at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm, capable of touching a small amount of the Great Dao's origin and faintly perceiving Cause and Effect.
What made him uneasy was not Lu Changsheng, but Lu Changsheng's Second Disciple, Lu Qinglian.
What's going on? Or is it just my imagination?
The dark-red-cloaked elder was completely baffled. How could someone who was clearly just an Earth Immortal pose a threat to him in the future?
Lu Changsheng found the Daoist Temple the Earth Book and Ginseng Fruit located. Several beautiful figures landed there, one of whom was stunningly beautiful and had unparalleled elegance, like Immortal Maiden from the heavens.
"Meaning?"
"Junior sister, what's wrong?"
For some reason, it seems like there's a familiar aura about it.
"Strange, this place has been deserted for a long time, so how can there be any signs? It must be your imagination, Junior Sister."
"Perhaps."
The stunningly beautiful woman with an icy demeanor tossed her Black Hair and carefully searched the area Daoist Temple, finding no trace of anyone there.
Several women searched the Daoist Temple but found nothing.
The entire Daoist Temple was empty.
One of the Senior Sister said, "Impossible! This Daoist Temple is buried underground and has existed for countless years without being detected by many Great Experts. How could it not have any treasures to suppress it?"

Another Senior Sister said, "Could it be that Junior Sister's intuition is correct? Someone has already obtained the treasures inside the Daoist Temple and then deliberately erased their aura before leaving? Junior Sister?"
The stunningly beautiful woman arrived above the Daoist Temple, anxiously scanning her surroundings with her Divine Sense, her beautiful face unusually tense.
However, they no longer sensed that familiar aura; instead, they smelled a pungent, bloody odor from the direction of the Southern Heavenly Gate.
"People from the Blood Sea Hall?"
The stunningly beautiful woman frowned.
The familiar aura she was looking for wasn't from the group in the Blood Sea Hall.
The other Immortal Maiden left the Daoist Temple and came to the beautiful woman's side. "The Demon of the Blood Sea Hall has arrived. Since the treasures inside the Daoist Temple have already been taken by someone else, there's no need for us to clash with the Blood Sea Hall. Junior sister, let's go."
The stunningly beautiful woman nodded. "Mm."
After Lu Changsheng left, he was unaware of what had happened at the Heavenly Court Ruins.
"Master, where are we going next?"
"Continue your training; I also promised someone something."
Lu Changsheng had not forgotten the matter between Tai Xu True Person and Qingxia Immortal Maiden.
He promised Tai Xu True Person and Qingxia Immortal Maiden that they would defeat the World-Overturning King of Accumulated Thunder Mountain 30,000 years later.
Three thousand years had passed, and only one-tenth of that time had elapsed.
Lu Changsheng has 27,000 years left to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm.
Between Heavenly Immortal and Great Luo Golden Immortal, there is still the realm of the Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm, a long and arduous journey.
"Master, Lian hasn't received Transmission Empowerment in a long time."
Lu Qinglian felt a pang of nostalgia for Lu Changsheng's ability to transfer his power.
With a master imparting skills, one doesn't need to painstakingly absorb Spiritual Qi.
As was customary, Lu Changsheng Transmission Empowerment to Lu Qinglian, whose cultivation level was not low.
Even without Lu Changsheng's Transmission Empowerment, Lu Qinglian still maintained the Earth Immortal Realm Seventh Layer while traveling around the world, which surprised Lu Changsheng.
This disciple is indeed extraordinary.
"Lotus's chest feels so hot..."
Suddenly, Lu Qinglian frowned; she noticed that the lotus seed in her arms had become burning hot.
These are lotus seeds she obtained from the Earth Fire of Fire Lotus Peak.
Some people died, but they weren't completely dead...
