The Disciples Return, the Thirty-Three-Story Golden Pagoda! (4K)
Lu Changsheng received a notification from the Apprentice-Teaching Simulator that Dugu Aotian had actually killed two Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal, Xuan Ancestor Black Goat and Ancestor Mad Demon.
Is this disciple really that fierce?
"One hundred and fifty million Merits."
Because of the eight million Merits returned by Dugu Aotian, the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda accumulated one hundred and fifty million Merits, which were then used to form the twenty-second layer of the pagoda.
The twenty-two-story Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda is of quality between Lower-Grade Sacred Artifact and Middle-Grade Sacred Artifact sacred artifacts, slightly inferior to Middle-Grade Sacred Artifacts.
To go from the 22nd to the 23rd floor of the Golden Pagoda, you need 300 million Merits, which is double the amount.
"Luckily, I have ten Disciples to help me accumulate Merit; otherwise, just Merit that many would have taken a lot of effort."
Lu Changsheng estimated that the quality of the twenty-third level of the Golden Pagoda should exceed that of Middle-Grade Sacred Artifact.
"There's not much time left until the 30,000-year agreement. Relying solely on my Disciples won't be enough to accumulate 300 million Merits. It seems I need to go down the mountain to Merit some more. Before dealing with the World-Overturning King, I'll cultivate the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda to the twenty-third level, and then comprehend the Sixth Layer of the Divine King Sword Scripture's sword intent."
Lu Changsheng estimated that his cultivation level was inferior to that of the World-Overturning King, so he could only make up for the gap through Law Treasure and Cultivation Method.
Lu Changsheng transmitted his voice to Daoist Yuxuan: "Senior, are there any Demons at the Initial Great Luo Golden Immortal realm near Sage-Proving Mountain?"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Yuxuan was startled. "Boy, what are you planning to do?"
"It's nothing, just accumulating Merit."
"Our Sage-Proving Mountain is, after all, a powerful Immortal Gate. If there were Demons at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm around us, they would have been annihilated long ago. In the Black Cloud Cave, 600,000 miles away from our Sage-Proving Mountain, there is indeed an Ancestor Black Mountain who enslaves billions of living beings, with tens of thousands of Evil Cultivators serving him. However, this person has some background, so our Sage-Proving Mountain keeps to itself. As long as he doesn't extend his reach into our sphere of influence, we Sage-Proving Mountain it peaceful coexistence. Kid, you wouldn't want to make a move against him, would you?"
Daoist Yuxuan discovered that Lu Changsheng had already left Sage-Proving Mountain.
So Lu Changsheng really intended to take down Great Demon at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Rank?
These Great Demon who openly enslave living beings are most likely backed by powerful figures; otherwise, they wouldn't be so arrogant.
However, Lu Changsheng already had enough enemies, so he didn't care about having one more. His immediate priority was to increase the number of levels in the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.
Six hundred thousand miles away from Sage-Proving Mountain lies the Black Cloud Cave, a place where skeletons rise like mountains and bones stand like forests. Elders and disciples of the Demon Sects come and go, and ordinary Demon Sects Rogue Cultivators dare not even set foot in the Black Cloud Cave.
The Ancestor Black Mountain possessed the cultivation level of a third-level Great Luo Golden Immortal and had powerful backers, making him an unmatched opponent for ordinary Rogue Cultivators. Furthermore, powerful Immortal Gate like the Sage-Proving Mountain did not want to provoke the Ancestor Black Mountain's backers, allowing him to act with impunity.
Lu Changsheng appeared above the Black Cloud Cave, a Spatial Talisman still between his fingers.
For Lu Changsheng, time is the most precious thing. As for Spatial Talisman, Lu Changsheng Lu Changsheng plenty of them, so he doesn't mind using the precious Spatial Talisman to travel.
A foul, fishy smell wafted over, Lu Changsheng frowned.
The scene at Black Cloud Cave was horrifying: human hair had turned into felt, and human flesh had rotted into mud and dust. Human tendons were wrapped around trees, dry, scorched, and shining like silver.
The Evil Cultivators of Black Cloud Cave wantonly slaughter and enslave living beings, refining their Blood Qi and energy to increase their own power.
They are keeping living creatures in captivity.
Lu Changsheng reached out and grasped, and the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword appeared out of Lu Changsheng in his hand.
When dealing with the Evil Cultivators in the Black Cloud Cave below, Lu Changsheng showed no mercy. He swung the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword downwards, unleashing a ten-thousand-foot-long primordial purple Sword Qi that slashed down from the sky!
At this moment, the Evil Cultivators of Black Cloud Cave noticed the dazzling purple Sword Qi descending. In their eyes, the Sword Qi had grown from a thin line into a giant wave!
The purple Sword Qi seemed far away, but it arrived in an instant.
"Ah!"
Before hundreds of Evil Cultivators could react, they were reduced to ashes in the Primordial Purple Light Sword Qi.
Boom!
The mountain range where Black Cloud Cave is located was cleaved in two by the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword!
The sand and stones flew, and even the Devil Qi shrouding the Black Cloud Cave was dispersed by the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword.
The remaining surviving Evil Cultivators stared in horror at the figure hovering above the Black Cloud Cave. The figure was like Sword Saint, severing the Black Cloud Cave, this Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, with a single sword strike.
Lu Changsheng unleashed two more sword strikes, one vertical and one horizontal, annihilating hundreds and thousands of Evil Cultivators.
Lu Changsheng could see the Merit accumulated by the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda skyrocketing.
The Evil Cultivators of Black Cloud Cave are all vicious and wicked. If it weren't for the protection of the Ancestor Black Mountain, these Evil Cultivators would have been besieged and wiped out by the major Immortal Gate long ago.
"Who dares to provoke me, the Ancestor Black Mountain!"
A cloud of Devil Qi burst forth from the Black Cloud Cave, confronting Lu Changsheng in the air.
The Ancestor Black Mountain was furious that someone dared to attack his mountain gate and even destroy his cave abode with a single sword strike.
Besides the Ancestor Black Mountain, the other Demon Sects Elder the Black Cloud Cave also surrounded them.
Seeing that Lu Changsheng was alone, their initial fear turned to mockery. "So you're alone, yet you dare to cause trouble in our Black Cloud Cave."
Sage-Proving Mountain wouldn't dare to lay a finger on our Black Cloud Cave, so what kind of person are you?
"You've offended the patriarch, so don't even think about running away."
The Ancestor Black Mountain stared fiercely at Lu Changsheng. Although he didn't know why Lu Changsheng had attacked Black Cloud Cave, he was Demon who Ascension from a Small World and had mingled in the Immortal Realm for many years. He was knowledgeable and knew that since Lu Changsheng dared to come to Black Cloud Cave alone, he must be quite powerful. "Boy, what is your background? Why did you attack my Black Cloud Cave?"
Lu Changsheng coldly replied, "I want to borrow your head to act on behalf of Heaven and accumulate Merit."
Upon hearing this, the Ancestor Black Mountain became even more furious.
He, the Ancestor Black Mountain, was at least a genius in the Demonic Dao path, having cultivated for over two hundred thousand years to become Great Demon at the third level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. Yet Lu Changsheng wanted to treat him like a monster to be hunted?
"Court death!"
The Ancestor Black Mountain unleashed his Devil Cultivation Method, unleashing a torrent of Devil Qi that blotted out the Firmament. Endless black clouds pressed down, and chilling winds blew, sending shivers down one's spine.
The Ancestor Black Mountain's Devil Cultivation Method were so terrifying that even some of the lower-level Evil Cultivators in Black Cloud Cave trembled.
The Ancestor Black Mountain Infamous and extremely powerful.
The other Elders of the Demon Sects also unleashed their Law Treasures, joining forces with the Ancestor Black Mountain to besiege Lu Changsheng.
"I'll take this opportunity to test the power of the Fifth Layer of the 'Divine King Sword Scripture' with your help."
Lu Changsheng simultaneously unleashed three immortal Immortal Swords —the second sword of the Nine Heavens Sword Formation, the Jade Heaven Immortal Sword; the third Azure Heaven Immortal Sword; and the seventh sword, the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword!
Primordial Jade Qi, Primordial Azure Qi, and Primordial Purple Qi —three pillars of Sword Qi illuminating the heavens and earth shattered the Demonic Clouds.
"Three, three Middle-Grade Sacred Artifacts!"
"One person wielding so many Sacred Artifacts?!"
"He has way too many Middle-Grade Sacred Artifacts!"
The Ancestor Black Mountain and the other Elders of the Demon Sects were shocked to see three Middle-Grade Sacred Artifact- level Immortal Swords surrounding Lu Changsheng.
They severely underestimated Lu Changsheng's strength!
"Human-Sword Unity; Heaven and Earth, I Alone!"
Lu Changsheng simultaneously activated the three Divine Swords, Human-Sword Unity, and felt the terrifying pressure of the three Sword Qi pillars.
He began to unleash the fifth level of sword intent from the "Divine King Sword Scripture".
"No!"
The Ancestor Black Mountain and the other Elders of the Demon Sects realized that the difference in strength between the two sides was too great!
A day later, Black Cloud Cave was littered with corpses, the remains of the Evil Cultivators of Black Cloud Cave scattered everywhere.
Lu Changsheng single-handedly wiped out the Black Cloud Cave.
Before the Ancestor Black Mountain could reveal his backer, Lu Changsheng killed him.
As for the billions of creatures enslaved by the Black Cloud Cave, Lu Changsheng released them all.
This action directly earned Lu Changsheng hundreds of millions of Merits.
Lu Changsheng dealt with the Evil Cultivators in Black Cloud Cave, and then moved on to the next place to slay demons and monsters.
Ten days after Lu Changsheng left Black Cloud Cave, several golden lights descended, and several Senior Buddhist Monks appeared, led by a kind-faced and benevolent monk.
"Old Ancestor Black Cloud Body and Spirit Annihilation; he has been killed."
"Old Ancestor Black Cloud was quite powerful; who killed him?"
"That person has erased all traces of their presence."
"Old Ancestor Black Cloud has committed numerous evil deeds, which have aroused the hatred of many Immortal Gate. It is not surprising that he was killed."
Unlike those at Sage-Proving Mountain, Lu Changsheng had many concerns. After eliminating several Great Demons and ensuring he had accumulated enough Merit to upgrade the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, he returned to Sage-Proving Mountain.
The remaining Merits will be accumulated by the Disciples.
Lu Changsheng began to comprehend the Sixth Layer the "Divine King Sword Scripture".
Twenty-nine thousand five hundred years after Lu Changsheng left Jinglong Mountain, the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda finally grew to twenty-three stories because his Disciples returned their Merits one after another.
The twenty-three-story Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda surpasses the quality of a mid-grade Defensive Sacred Artifact!
With this Defensive Law Treasure, along with the Void Mirror and the Dragonbone Scarlet-Gold Armor, Lu Changsheng can at least protect himself.
"It's time to summon the disciples back."
Lu Changsheng took out a Talisman — Seventeenth-Grade Golden Immortal Puppet Talisman.
Lu Changsheng poured his True Qi into it, and the Talisman shone brightly with golden light. A stunningly beautiful woman emerged from the Talisman.
The stunningly beautiful woman's eyes were vacant.
This is merely Great Luo Golden Immortal Golden Immortal Puppet Talisman, possessing the combat power of Second-Layer Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Then, Lu Changsheng took out three Sunflame Heavenly Puppet Talisman and summoned three Heavenly Immortal Puppets.
Lu Changsheng separated four strands of his Divine Sense, manipulated four puppets, and went down the mountain to find his four Disciples who were training in various places.
In the Demon Beast Mountains of the Immortal Realm, Lu Qinglian sat by a campfire, savoring the juicy roasted beast meat.
Suddenly, a Heavenly Immortal cultivator appeared.
Just as Lu Qinglian was about to make a move, she suddenly realized that this cultivator had no life force at all, but instead possessed the aura of her master.
"Lotus, this is the puppet I obtained. It's time for me to return."
"Good!"
Upon hearing that her master had finally summoned her back to the sect, Lu Qinglian stored the unfinished beast meat within her Inner World, intending to eat it on the way.
"This disciple hasn't changed."
Even from the distant Sage-Proving Mountain, Lu Changsheng could see the scene the puppet was witnessing. Seeing that Lu Qinglian was already Heavenly Immortal, yet she was still eating non-stop, he couldn't help but chuckle.
Another puppet found Ning Qianqian, Dragon Emperor Bloodline.
Like her Senior Sister Lu Qinglian, Ning Qianqian kept eating.
The difference is that Ning Qianqian destroyed a Demon Sects, and then devoured heavenly materials and earthly treasures cultivated by that Demon Sects, stuffing them all into her mouth.
The Dragon Emperor Bloodline is extremely domineering, capable of digesting all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
The third Heavenly Immortal Puppet was found on Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan was appointed as the Imperial Preceptor by a small country because of his chivalrous deeds.
Upon hearing that his master had summoned him back to the sect, Xiao Fan immediately bid farewell to the king, flew on his sword, and followed the puppet back to Sage-Proving Mountain.
The female Great Luo Golden Immortal puppet then found Dugu Aotian and Liu Yiyi.
When the Golden Immortal Puppet appeared before Dugu Aotian was startled, thinking that the Senluo Hall had come to seek revenge.
After all, he never expected that his master would obtain a puppet at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Rank.
"My master has summoned me back; let us say goodbye here."
Dugu Aotian received his master's order and chose to say goodbye to Liu Yiyi.
"Um."
Before leaving, Liu Yiyi was surprisingly reluctant to part.
Even though she knew that Dugu Aotian was Great Demon, which was incompatible with her identity Saintess, she had been with Dugu Aotian for over two thousand years. Dugu Aotian had always been a chivalrous hero, slaying demons and monsters, and he didn't seem like Demon at all.
If Dugu Aotian hadn't been practicing Devil Cultivation Method, Liu Yiyi would definitely have thought Dugu Aotian was the Saint of some Holy Land.
Dugu Aotian left with the Golden Immortal Puppet. Before leaving, he glanced back at Liu Yiyi, causing a strange tremor in her State of Mind.
"I've been away from the Holy Land for a long time; it's time for me to go back."
Liu Yiyi summoned her Immortal Sword and returned to the Yaochi Holy Land.
The four Disciples returned to Sage-Proving Mountain. They had been training for thousands of years, and their knowledge and combat experience had greatly increased.
Lu Changsheng immediately Transmission Empowerment to his four Disciples, who then received tens of thousands of years of cultivation back.
Lu Changsheng summoned several Disciples back to Jinglong Mountain to fulfill his promise to Qingxia Immortal Maiden and Tai Xu True Person.
Jade Splendor Domain, Flowing Cloud Pavilion, the palace where Qingxia Immortal Maiden cultivates.
Nearly 30,000 years later, the Qingxia Immortal Maiden of the Spirit Sword Body has broken through from the Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm.
"I'm only at the Second-Layer Great Luo Golden Immortal, my strength is incomparable to the Seven Great Demon Kings, is there really no way out?"
Qingxia Immortal Maiden thought that the 30,000-year agreement was about to arrive, and even if she cultivated with all her might, it would be impossible for her to advance from Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal to Nine Layers Great Luo Golden Immortal within 30,000 years.
The difference between these nine realms can be anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions of years.
Without the resources of the Holy Land, she could not possibly bridge the gap in such a short time.
Even among the Great Luo Golden Immortals, the World-Overturning King was an outstanding figure. Moreover, he had six sworn brothers, each of whom was Demon King at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Rank.
Could it be that I'm really going to marry this World-Overturning King?
As Qingxia Immortal Maiden was in a state of utter confusion, the sound of a cane and footsteps rang out, and an old woman walked in, leaning on a cane.
"Master."
"Qingxia, I gave you thirty thousand years. Now that the thirty thousand-year promise is about to expire, I have prepared your dowry. And the betrothal gifts from the World-Overturning King have already been sent to our Flowing Cloud Pavilion. Have you forgotten the vow you made back then?"
"This disciple remembers."
"That's good. The World-Overturning King has quite a background, and the Seven Great Demon Kings are like brothers. If our Flowing Cloud Pavilion were to form a marriage alliance with Accumulated Thunder Mountain, we would surely become the most powerful Sects in the Jade Splendor Domain..."
The old woman was already making plans for the Flowing Cloud Pavilion.
Qingxia Immortal Maiden, however, could not hear the old woman's words and could only place her hopes on the younger generation of Mount Shu: "Can this junior from Taixu really defeat the World-Overturning King?"
