Disciple Merit Return System Activated! (4K)
"Do you truly possess Emperor-Grade Swordsmanship?"
Daoist Yuxuan was a genius in Sword Dao and was extremely obsessed with Sword Dao Cultivation Method. He was thrilled to hear that Lu Changsheng possessed Emperor-Grade Swordsmanship.
Emperor-Grade Swordsmanship, as the name suggests, are Cultivation Methods practiced by Immortal Emperors.
Such Cultivation Method are generally only possessed by Holy Land.
"Absolutely true."
"Come to my Mingdao Cave. No, I'll go directly to your cave abode."
Impatient, Daoist Yuxuan immediately summoned his Flying Sword and arrived at Changqing Cave, eager to witness the legendary Emperor-Grade Swordsmanship.
Lu Changsheng took out the "Divine King Sword Scripture".
Daoist Yuxuan's Divine Fire.
All the Loose Immortals who cultivate the Sword Dao yearn to see the Emperor-Grade Cultivation Method of the Holy Land.
"Indeed, this is Emperor-Grade Swordsmanship, a peerless Cultivation Method that only Immortal Emperors can comprehend. I never imagined that one day I would be able to witness Emperor-Grade Cultivation Method; it is truly an honor beyond measure."
Daoist Yuxuan was completely engrossed in the book after only a brief glance, becoming utterly captivated.
The Emperor-Grade Swordsmanship was extremely profound. It took Daoist Yuxuan three months to comprehend it, and he only managed to grasp the second level. Then Daoist Yuxuan came to his senses. "The level of the master who created this Cultivation Method is probably unfathomable. His understanding of the Sword Dao is Non-Self reach. In his presence, I am like a novice. Even Great Luo Golden Immortal cannot fully comprehend the Nine Layers of sword intent. I take back what I said earlier; currently, I can only comprehend the Third Layer at most."
The Divine King Sword Scripture records Nine Layers of sword intent, yet even Sword Dao genius like Daoist Yuxuan could only comprehend the first three most basic levels?
Daoist Yuxuan continued, "I can guide you through the first three levels of this Cultivation Method. As for the remaining six levels of sword intent, I'm afraid we'll have to work together to comprehend them. With your talent, you might even reach the Great Perfection of this Cultivation Method faster than I will. It's best that no one else knows about this Cultivation Method except your disciples. The Holy Land still has the strength to protect Emperor-Grade Cultivation Method; if someone knew you possessed Emperor-Grade Rogue Cultivator Cultivation Method, it would definitely attract competition."
Daoist Yuxuan and Lu Changsheng began cultivating the "Divine King Sword Scripture".
At the same time, Lu Changsheng sent several disciples down the mountain to gain experience and accumulate Merit.
The Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda needs Merit to grow.
As the master, Lu Changsheng also receives a share of the Merits from his Disciples' chivalrous deeds and demon-slaying.
A month later, in a dilapidated temple, several Evil Cultivators were drinking and eating meat, while in a corner they were holding two Immortal Maiden who had been kidnapped from the surrounding Sects.
These two Immortal Maiden are experts at the Void Refinement Realm, but the cultivation levels of the several Evil Cultivators are even higher, reaching the Dao Integration Realm.
"Hahaha, the Azure City Sect is truly pathetic. Their sect leader only has the cultivation of the Dao Integration Realm Eighth Layer. How could they possibly be a match for you, elder brother?"
"Hehe, the two daughters of the Azure City Sect Master are indeed beautiful as flowers. We're in luck this time. When our eldest brother gets tired of them, I wonder if he could give them to the brothers to play with?"
"No problem."
A group of Evil Cultivators tried to curry favor with their Demon.
The leader of the Evil Cultivators was the only demonic Demon at the first level of Earth Immortal, enough to strike fear into the Sects.
The two daughters of the Azure City Sect leader huddled in a corner of the dilapidated temple, their faces pale. They knew that their Sects had been destroyed and they could not escape their fate, but the Demon had sealed their acupoints, preventing them from circulating their True Qi. They could only sit and wait for their death.
Peng!
Suddenly, the temple door was kicked open, and the door panels shattered into pieces.
The Evil Cultivators flew into a rage. "Who goes there?!"
They committed countless atrocities in the area, and no one could stop them. They even wiped out the Azure City Sect within a thousand miles. Who would dare to provoke them?
A resolute-looking man entered alone, his cold gaze sweeping over the group of Evil Cultivators.
The leader of the Evil Cultivators was displeased. "Who dares to provoke me Daoist Xixiang?"
The other Evil Cultivators also mocked, "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, or you won't even know how you died."
Xiao Fan frowned, not expecting to encounter several Evil Cultivators only a month after descending the mountain.
Although the Immortal Realm has Holy Land and Immortal Gate, there are also a considerable number of Demon Sects and Evil Cultivators who are hostile to each other.
"Die."
Eight Extremities Fist!
Xiao Fan channeled his inner energy and unleashed a punch, which struck the Demon Daoist Xixiang squarely.
Boom!
The Daoist Xixiang and the wall behind him shattered in an instant!
Behind the dilapidated temple, a deep ravine, thousands of feet deep, was even created by the force of a punch, obliterating all the rocks along the way.
Xiao Fan's power at the Heavenly Immortal Realm is unmatched by any Earth Immortal Evil Cultivator.
The Daoist Xixiang has vanished into thin air.
The other Evil Cultivators were horrified. Their most powerful leader had been killed, and they were no match for Xiao Fan.
Escape!
Knowing they were no match for the Evil Cultivators, the group split up and fled.
Xiao Fan activated the "Divine Emperor Flame-Manipulating Instruction," and a ball of flame appeared in his palm.
Xiao Fan threw several punches, and several balls of flame attacked these Evil Cultivators.
"Ah!"
Several Evil Cultivators let out a scream as they were struck by the fiery fist force and their Body and Spirit Annihilation.
The two Immortal Maidens at the Void Refinement Realm were completely stunned.
These Evil Cultivators who slaughtered the Azure City Sect were easily killed by Xiao Fan, who seemed completely unfazed.
He is much stronger than the sect leader of the Azure City Sect.
Xiao Fan withdrew his aura and released the pressure points from the two Immortal Maiden: "You can leave now."
The two Immortal Maiden exchanged a glance and said to Xiao Fan, "Young Master, you have been kind to us. Our Sects were destroyed, and we are willing to become your maids. We hope you will take us in."
At Sage-Proving Mountain Changqing Cave, Lu Changsheng is studying the "Divine King Sword Scripture".
Whether this Cultivation Method can be practiced to a higher level is crucial to whether one can fight against the World-Overturning King.
[Ding! The Disciple Merit Return System is now officially open.]
The Merit points gained by disciples will be converted into numerical values, with a Merit return rate of 20%.
[Ding! Your disciple Xiao Fan has killed five Evil Cultivators, gaining 100,000 Merit. You receive 20,000 Merit as a return.]
Suddenly, the Apprentice-Teaching Simulator displayed a notification, indicating that another function had been activated after the Dual Cultivation System.
Now Lu Changsheng can see the exact amount of Merit returned to each disciple.
"Um?"
Lu Changsheng even saw the Merit required for the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda to grow.
The Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda requires 100 million Merits to upgrade from the 20th to the 21st floor.
In other words, Xiao Fan needs to do 5,000 similar good deeds to accumulate enough Merit for the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda to grow into a twenty-one-story golden pagoda.
Fortunately, Lu Changsheng had ten disciples, each of whom performed good deeds and accumulated merit over time, resulting in a considerable amount of returned Merit.
Intangible Merit may seem to have no effect on ordinary Xiuzhenzhe, but it is of paramount importance to Xiuzhenzhe possess Merit Law Treasures.
Legendary Saint all possessed, to varying degrees, a Merit Law Treasure that eventually became their exclusive Law Treasure for enlightenment.
Lu Changsheng also possesses a Top-Grade Supreme Treasure, the "Eighteen-Petal Merit Golden Lotus," which is also a Merit Law Treasure.
However, Lu Changsheng did not intend to refine this Law Treasure. Instead, he planned to bestow it upon Lu Qinglian she became Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Both the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda and the Merit Golden Lotus are defensive merit-based Merit Law Treasures. If you want to cultivate the Merit Golden Lotus, the Merit used to cultivate the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda will inevitably be reduced by half. It would be better to allocate the merit to your disciples to cultivate the Merit Golden Lotus.
The Apprentice-Teaching Simulator is truly amazing; it can even return Merit.
Logically speaking, if a disciple is taught by his master to uphold justice, then the master should naturally share in the Merit.
"No wonder all the major Holy Lands and Sects are recruiting Disciples; it seems that accumulating intangible Merit is one of their purposes."
Lu Changsheng began to understand why Holy Lands, Sects, and Aristocratic Clan were thriving.
[Ding! Your disciple Lu Qinglian has slain a monstrous tiger that was threatening the region, gaining 80,000 Merit. You receive 10,000 Merit back.]
[Ding! Your disciple Ning Qianqian has killed a Demon who has cultivated for 100,000 years, gaining 120,000 Merits. You receive 10,000 Merits back.]
[Ding! Your disciple, Dugu Aotian, has slain a Tree Demon that has cultivated for 300,000 years, gaining 300,000 Merits. You receive 60,000 Merits as a return.]
During his Swordsmanship practice at Sage-Proving Mountain, Lu Changsheng received Merit rewards one after another.
The Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda arrived in the center of Lu Changsheng's Dantian, hovering above his Qi Sea. Invisible power of Merit flowed into the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, and the twenty-first layer of the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was being formed.
[Ding! Your disciple Lin Qingzhi has killed ninety-nine Evil Cultivators, gaining 250,000 Merits. You receive 50,000 Merits as a return.]
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng saw the notification from the Apprentice-Teaching Simulator and paused for a moment.
His eldest Disciple Lin Qingzhi, was also slaying demons and monsters?
The Evil Cultivator Lin Qingzhi killed was worth 250,000 Merit, indicating that his opponent was not weak.
"It seems my Eldest Disciple has also had a fortuitous encounter in the Immortal Realm."
Lu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief knowing that his disciples were all doing well in the Immortal Realm.
Far from the Sage-Proving Mountain, Lin Qingzhi sheathed his immortal Immortal Sword. The Demon Sects sect lay dead everywhere, their blood flowing like a river.
Accompanying Lin Qingzhi were disciples dressed in the same sect's Daoist Daoist Robes.
"Junior Brother Lin, your sudden enlightenment last time, your cultivation level jumped from the Earth Immortal Realm to the Heavenly Immortal Realm in one fell swoop, it was truly astonishing, we were all shocked. The sect leader said you have a Childlike Heart, and if you hear the Dao in the morning, you can become an immortal in the evening. We didn't believe it at first, but now we've finally witnessed your amazing abilities, Junior Brother."
These senior students, filled with both envy and jealousy, fawned over this taciturn junior.
Lin Qingzhi remained unmoved, and everything continued as before.
"I wonder where Master, Chen Yao, and the other junior brothers and sisters are..."
After leaving his master, Lin Qingzhi never encountered another master Transmission Empowerment to him, since not everyone can receive such a transmission of skills unscathed.
"Junior Brother Lin, we've wiped out this Demon Sects, but their powerful backer could arrive at any moment. Let's go back."
"Good."
The group flew back to their Sects on their swords.
On Sage-Proving Mountain, Lu Changsheng received frequent notifications from the Apprentice-Teaching Simulator, and the returned Merit were increasing day by day.
Besides Lin Qingzhi, there are also disciples such as Chen Yao, Ji Xuan, Mo Huazhi, Chen Xiaoyao, who occasionally return Merits. After the Ascension to the Immortal Realm, these disciples each have their own experiences.
Even Ji Xuan, who possessed the Demon God Body and whom Lu Changsheng was most worried about, did not go astray and still followed the doctrines she had learned in Shushan.
After a thousand years, nourished by the invisible power of Merit, the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda fully grew into a twenty-one-story golden pagoda.
It takes 150 million Merits to grow the Golden Pagoda from the 21st floor to the 22nd floor.
"The Heaven and Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda requires far too much Merit. I really don't know how much Merit it would need to reach its peak? It would probably be calculated in trillions..."
Lu Changsheng felt a chill run down his spine upon closer examination.
Normally, ordinary Merit Law Treasures wouldn't require so much Merit.
However, the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda has an extremely high limit, and therefore requires a great deal of Merit.
[Ding! Your disciple, Dugu Aotian, has killed 8,000 Evil Cultivators, gaining 5 million Merit. You receive 1 million Merit as a reward.]
"Strange, how could Dugu Aotian have killed so many people? Could it be that he has broken out in a great war with the Demon Sects?"
Lu Changsheng was slightly surprised to discover that Dugu Aotian had killed eight thousand Evil Cultivators.
Eight hundred thousand miles away from Sage-Proving Mountain, Dugu Aotian traveled alone to a small country. He heard that a Demon Sect was causing havoc in the area, so he took action to slaughter the Demon Sect and devour the Blood Qi of its Demon Sect, transforming it into his own Devil Qi.
Because Dugu Aotian possessed the Devil Ancestor Dao Body, his cultivation method was unusual. He had to constantly devour flesh and souls to improve his demonic Devil Cultivation Method. However, Dugu Aotian did not prey on weak beings or righteous cultivators, but instead chose to devour those of the Demonic Dao. This was also a major Great Dao in cultivating Devil Cultivation Method.
The entire Demonic Sect was slaughtered by Dugu Aotian. The Demon Sect leader, a third-level Heavenly Immortal Realm Demon Sect, was gripped by Dugu Aotian's throat, gasping for breath. "Kill me, you'll regret it. You can't imagine how terrifying my backer is..."
"Die."
Influenced by the Devil Cultivation Method, Dugu Aotian became ruthless in his attacks. With a slight exertion of his power, the Demon Sect Master's neck snapped, and overwhelming Devil Qi surged from Dugu Aotian's body, engulfing the Demon Sect Master and completely devouring his Blood Qi.
Dugu Aotian's skills have improved again.
Cultivating Devil Cultivation Method, as long as one can continuously devour living beings, allows for a much faster cultivation speed than normal Cultivation Methods. This is why, although the Blood Demon Ancestor and the Daoist Yuxuan were from the same era, the Blood Demon Ancestor was several minor realms higher than the Daoist Yuxuan.
After erasing his presence, Dugu Aotian immediately left the area.
He learned from his master Lu Changsheng's steadiness, and during his training, he tried to be as elusive as possible so that his enemies would have difficulty pursuing him.
Dugu Aotian is now at the fifth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Only Heaven-Rank Killer or Earth-Rank Killer from assassin Sects like Su Xiaoqi have the ability to track Dugu Aotian.
Not long after Dugu Aotian left, several figures appeared at the gate of the Demon Sect. Leading them was an old man with a goatee. "My son established his own sect here, standing alone, but unexpectedly he was killed by someone else. This Devil Qi is extremely pure; the perpetrator was Great Demon."
An Elder from the Demon Sects said, "Sect Master, does this mean that the young master has offended another Demon Sects, and they have come to attack him?"
The old man with the goatee gleamed with a fierce light in his eyes. "Whoever dares to provoke me, once I capture them alive, I will skin them alive and tear out their tendons, making them suffer endless torment, wishing for death but unable to live."
He took out a Law Treasure, which resembled Law Treasure and pointed it in the direction Dugu Aotian had fled.
"Let's chase after them!"
The old man with the goatee, along with several Elders of the Demon Sects, chased after them in the direction indicated by the compass.
