A Challenge from the Yaochi Holy Son! (4K)

"Liu Yiyi from the Yaochi Holy Land greets Daoist Lu. It is thanks to Daoist Lu's intervention, his composure in the face of danger, that the Demon was frightened away."

Liu Yiyi had met Dugu Aotian's master, Lu Changsheng, before, so she was not unfamiliar with him.

"This person wasn't scared off by me; he probably had some reservations, so he left on his own. Disciple, you will return to the Taihua Sacred Ground with me. Also, Miss Liu, you should go to the Taihua Sacred Ground as well."

"I?"

"The people from Yaochi Holy Land will be visiting Taihua Sacred Ground soon. When you return to Yaochi with them, please do so on your way."

"Good."

The Yaochi Holy Land and the Taihua Sacred Ground have a good relationship, so when Liu Yiyi arrives at the Taihua Sacred Ground, she will definitely receive the best protection and be able to return to Yaochi with the people of the Yaochi Holy Land. She doesn't need to worry about encountering the Elders of the Demon Sects along the way.

Upon seeing Lu Changsheng return with two others at the Taihua Sacred Ground, Wu De, the Golden Immortal guarding the mountain gate, quickly stepped forward to greet him, "Welcome back to the mountain, Saint."

Lu Changsheng nodded in acknowledgment, noticing that the number of disciples from the Holy Land at the mountain gate had increased several times over. "Are we here to welcome people from the Yaochi Holy Land?"

"Indeed. The Yaochi Holy Mother in the Yaochi Holy Land will personally lead a delegation to visit our Sacred Lord to discuss some important matters."

"Um."

Lu Changsheng returned to Yuntai Peak and arranged for Liu Yiyi to stay in cave abode near Dugu Aotian.

Liu Yiyi is the Yaochi Saintess. Befriending her might bring you the help of the Yaochi Holy Land in the future.

"This is Seventeenth-Rank Talisman I obtained— the Immortal Talisman of Pure Qi —which can conceal your Devil Qi. In this way, as long as you don't use Devil Cultivation Method, you won't be easily detected as a member of the Demon Sects sect."

Lu Changsheng bestowed upon Dugu Aotian a Seventeenth-Rank Talisman.

The currently awarded Seventeenth-Rank Talisman have not been returned to the Apprentice-Teaching Simulator.

However, Lu Changsheng didn't care whether he taught one more or one less Disciple-Teaching Rebate.

It's best not to let others know that Dugu Aotian comes from the Demon Realm, otherwise it might cause unnecessary trouble.

Lu Changsheng has Disciples including the Dragon Emperor, Buddha, War God, and several Devil Ancestors, so it's not a big deal.

Three days later, Lin Qinghan sent a telepathic message to Lu Changsheng: "Junior brother, the people from Yaochi Holy Land are arriving. Father wants us to go and greet them together."

"Coming right away."

As the Taihua Sacred Ground's Sacred Son, Lu Changsheng still needs to attend some important occasions.

The arrival of the Yaochi Holy Mother is a truly momentous event.

The Yaochi Holy Mother is in charge of the Yaochi Holy Land, and her status is equal to that of Lin Xuantong.

However, the difference lies in the fact that Lin Xuantong and Liu Mufeng were geniuses of roughly the same era, while the Yaochi Holy Mother was of a higher generation than them.

By all accounts, the Yaochi Holy Mother and Lin Xuantong's master were of the same generation.

Among the many Holy Land, the Yaochi Holy Mother is considered a senior figure, so when she visited the Taihua Sacred Ground this time, the Taihua Sacred Ground treated her with the highest level of hospitality.

Lin Xuantong, along with the Saint, Saintess, Holy Son Candidates, Saintess Candidates, and Elders and Grand Supreme Elders, personally greeted them at the mountain gate.

Azure Luan chariot led the way, celestial maidens scattered flowers, and auspicious clouds billowed.

Several thousand disciples of Yaochi followed the carriage of the Yaochi Holy Mother and landed at the mountain gate of the Taihua Sacred Ground.

Closest to the carriage of the Yaochi Holy Mother were a man and a woman; the man was dressed in a purple Daoist Daoist Robe, and the woman was dressed in elegant attire.

The two men exuded an aura of dragons and tigers, their cultivation levels unfathomable.

The Yaochi Holy Mother, who resided within the carriage, possessed an even higher level of cultivation.

Near the carriage of the Yaochi Holy Mother, Fortune and Cause and Effect were blocked, making it impossible for other Great Expert to predict her whereabouts.

"Junior Lin Xuantong greets the Yaochi Holy Mother."

Lin Xuantong showed great respect to his seniors.

After all, the Yaochi Holy Mother was a contemporary of her master.

"Your cultivation has improved again. You truly deserve to be called the Peerless Genius who ranked second on the Qilin Ranking. My disciple was overshadowed by your brilliance back then."

A pleasant sound came from inside the carriage.

Contrary to Lu Changsheng's expectations of an aged voice, this voice sounded more like that of a young woman.

However, with the cultivation level of the Yaochi Holy Mother, maintaining eternal youth is not difficult.

"You flatter me, Holy Mother. I am no match for you."

Lin Xuantong just how terrifying the Yaochi Holy Mother's cultivation level was.

The Yaochi Holy Mother was a Heavenly Prodigy in her time; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to rule the Holy Land for so many years.

Once upon a time, a Yaochi Saintess was abducted to the Demonic Fall. The Yaochi Holy Mother dared to lead the unparalleled masters of the Yaochi Holy Land into the Demonic Fall. Although she ultimately failed to rescue her Disciple and the Yaochi Holy Land suffered heavy losses, the fact that she was able to escape from the Demon Realm demonstrates the Yaochi Holy Mother's strength.

Lu Changsheng transmitted his voice to Lin Qinghan: "Strange, the Yaochi Holy Mother is so old, why can she still continue to rule the Holy Land? Could it be that the Yaochi Holy Land has no genius who can succeed the Yaochi Holy Mother?"

Lin Qinghan's expression changed. "Junior brother, you must not let the Yaochi Holy Mother hear you say she is old, otherwise even my father cannot protect you. The Yaochi Holy Mother had an Eldest Disciple who was comparable to my father and was designated by the Yaochi Holy Mother as the next Holy Mother. However, she was kidnapped to the Demonic Fall. The Yaochi Holy Mother led people to rescue her, but they failed to rescue her and lost a group of peerless experts, and even the Ancestor perished... It is precisely because the Yaochi Holy Land was severely damaged and had no one to succeed her that the Yaochi Holy Mother had no choice but to continue to rule the Yaochi Holy Land to prevent others from taking advantage of the situation."

"I see."

Lu Changsheng finally understood why the Yaochi Holy Mother, whose seniority was higher than Lin Xuantong's, still had to continue to rule the Holy Land. It turned out that it was to maintain the status of the Yaochi Holy Land.

In places like Taihua Sacred Ground, the elders, whose seniority is even higher than Lin Xuantong's, have all laid down their burdens and are cultivating in peace in the Rear Mountains. They only need to focus on their own cultivation and do not need to be distracted by worldly affairs.

"Father, Mother!"

Liu Yiyi was somewhat excited. She discovered that not only had the Yaochi Holy Mother arrived, but her parents had also come.

"Yiyi?"

Liu Mufeng and Feng Qing'er were somewhat surprised to see Liu Yiyi; they never expected their daughter to have arrived at the Taihua Sacred Ground.

"Oh? How did you get here?"

The Yaochi Holy Mother descended from her Phoenix Carriage, her graceful figure making her seem nothing like an ancient monster who had cultivated for millions of years.

She saw the Saintess Liu Yiyi appear at the Taihua Sacred Ground, her expression serious.

"This, I..."

Facing the stern-faced Yaochi Holy Mother, Liu Yiyi stammered.

Because her Eldest Disciple was once kidnapped by people from the Demon Realm, the Yaochi Holy Mother was strict with Liu Yiyi, who might succeed her as the head of the Yaochi Holy Land. Liu Yiyi was somewhat afraid of the Yaochi Holy Mother.

Liu Mufeng stepped forward to help Liu Yiyi out of the predicament. "Master, it was I who sent Yiyi down the mountain for training and came to Taihua Sacred Ground ahead of time to welcome you. After all, Yiyi is Saintess, and our Yaochi has a good relationship with Taihua. If she gets to know the people of Taihua Sacred Ground, she will be able to better lead our Yaochi Holy Land in the future."

"I see."

The Yaochi Holy Mother's stern expression softened, as if she had accepted this explanation.

Suddenly, the Yaochi Holy Mother looked at Dugu Aotian beside Liu Yiyi, her Liu Mei furrowing slightly, as if she were pondering something.

"Sacred Lord Lin, our purpose in coming here is to discuss matters concerning the Blood Sea Hall. In recent years, the Blood Sea Hall has become extremely rampant, repeatedly attacking Sects beneath our Holy Land."

Liu Mufeng already knew Dugu Aotian's background, and fearing that the Yaochi Holy Mother might have noticed something, he quickly changed the subject.

Lin Xuantong, being of the same generation as Liu Mufeng, noticed Liu Mufeng giving him a meaningful look and understood. He then cooperated with Liu Mufeng, saying, "Senior, please come inside. Let's talk in detail."

"Um."

The Yaochi Holy Mother glared suspiciously at Dugu Aotian.

The Yaochi Holy Mother is more powerful than Lin Xuantong. If she were to harbor murderous intent, even his master would not be able to protect him.

Fortunately, the Yaochi Holy Mother did not intervene, after all, this was the Taihua Sacred Ground, and she had to consider the face of the Taihua Sacred Ground.

In addition, Liu Mufeng was secretly diverting the attention of the Yaochi Holy Mother, a fact that the Yaochi Holy Mother noticed.

Liu Mufeng was a genius highly regarded by the Yaochi Holy Mother.

"Yiyi, your father and mother need to discuss some things. We'll talk later."

Feng Qing'er, who was traveling with Liu Mufeng, gave Liu Yiyi a few instructions, and then glanced at Gu Du Aotian a few more times before heading to the main hall of the Taihua Sacred Ground with Liu Mufeng, Yaochi Holy Mother, and Lin Xuantong to discuss matters.

As for the Saint and Saintess of Taihua Sacred Ground and Yaochi Holy Land, they remained outside.

Their status is not low, but they are not yet qualified to participate in the matters that Lin Xuantong and the Yaochi Holy Mother are discussing.

The matter they were discussing might concern the very survival of the Holy Land.

"Yiyi, it's been so long! How are you?"

One of the candidates for the Yaochi Holy Son Candidate spoke ingratiatingly with Liu Yiyi.

Liu Yiyi is the Yaochi Saintess, the daughter of the Yaochi Left Envoy and Yaochi Right Envoy, and is also favored by the Yaochi Holy Mother. She may take charge of the Yaochi Holy Land in the future, so if you can marry Liu Yiyi, you will surely rise to prominence.

Don't call me by my name.

Liu Yiyi responded indifferently.

Despite hitting a wall, the Holy Son Candidate of Yaochi still wore a fawning expression.

Liu Yiyi subconsciously took a step closer to Dugu Aotian.

Only then did the Holy Son Candidate Yaochi notice Dugu Aotian beside Liu Yiyi: "Junior Sister Liu, who is this?"

Dugu Aotian coldly replied, "I am the Disciple of the Taihua Saint."

Not even Holy Son Candidate.

The Holy Son Candidate of Yaochi looked down on Dugu Aotian.

If Dugu Aotian were a candidate for the Taihua Sacred Ground's Sacred Son, then their status would be equal. But Dugu Aotian is merely the Saint's Disciple; what qualifications does he have to compete with him for the Saintess's heart?

Dugu Aotian did not retaliate.

This candidate for the Yaochi Holy Son Candidate has cultivated for a very long time and has already reached the level of Quasi-Emperor.

If Dugu Aotian were also Quasi-Emperor, he would be confident that his strength would surpass Dugu Aotian's.

"Miss Lin, how have you been? I have acquired a Seventeenth Grade, Nine-Colored Bell Orchid the valley, which I would like to present to Miss Lin."

On the other side, the Yaochi Saint was trying to win over Lin Qinghan.

Lin Qinghan is the 72nd ranked genius on the Qilin Ranking and the daughter of Lin Xuantong, the Taihua Sacred Lord. If one can win the heart of this beauty, even if one cannot take charge of the Yaochi Holy Land in the future, one might be able to take charge of the Taihua Sacred Ground.

In the Yaochi Holy Land, yin prevails over yang, and the Saintess. As the Saint, he has no hope. He might as well try to marry into the Lin Household family of the Taihua Sacred Ground.

In an effort to please Lin Qinghan, he didn't hesitate to give away the Seventeenth Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the "Nine-Colored Bell Orchid."

An Orchid of the valley with nine colors appeared in his palm.

However, Lin Qinghan showed no sign of being moved. Instead, she pulled Lu Changsheng and took his arm, saying, "Zhu Tianze, if you want to pursue me, you'll have to defeat the Saint of our Holy Land first."

Lu Changsheng was still unaware of what had happened when Lin Qinghan transmitted her voice. "Junior brother, this person has been harassing me repeatedly. Please help me this time and make him give up."

So he was using himself as a shield.

Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan had cultivated under Lin Xuantong's guidance for many years and had developed a deep bond, so Lu Changsheng didn't mind doing this small favor.

Lin Qinghan linked arms with Lu Changsheng, a blush spreading across her oval face.

Lu Changsheng's body temperature gave Lin Qinghan a strange sense of security.

Lu Changsheng possesses the Emperor Weapon Dragon-Tiger Emperor Seal. After breaking through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm, if he were to fight Lin Qinghan, who possesses the Thousand Mechanisms Umbrella, in a life-or-death struggle, his strength might even surpass Lin Qinghan's.

After all, Lu Changsheng's ranking on the Qilin Ranking has surpassed Lin Qinghan's.

When Yaochi Saint Zhu Tianze saw his dream lover arm in arm with a strange man, his expression changed drastically, and his body trembled.

He had pursued Lin Qinghan for ten thousand years, only to be overtaken by a newcomer?

"You must be Lu Changsheng's recently risen to the top, ranking thirty-ninth on the Qilin Ranking?"

Zhu Tianze's gaze towards Lu Changsheng was now filled with hostility.

They are both holy sons of the Yaochi Holy Land and the Taihua Sacred Ground's Sacred Son, respectively, and are of equal status. It all depends on whose strength is superior to win the heart of the beauty.

However, Lu Changsheng rolled his eyes.

He didn't want to compete with Zhu Tianze, but instead wanted to help Lin Qinghan get rid of this persistent suitor.

"Ye Feng, this is going to be good." Jiang Yu, Candidate Saint of Taihua Sacred Ground, said to Ye Feng, the second Holy Son Candidate, with a cold look in his eyes, "If my information is correct, Yaochi Saint Zhu Tianze's highest ranking on the Qilin Ranking is only eighty-three, but he has been cultivating for more than 500,000 years and recently broke through to the Immortal Emperor, First Stage. Although he is only the weakest level of Immortal Emperor is still Immortal Emperor, not comparable to Quasi-Emperor. This time, Lu Changsheng is definitely going to suffer a big setback."

"The Yaochi Saint is already Immortal Emperor?"

The Ye Feng was taken aback.

Although talent is very important, and the Qilin Ranking takes this into account, which is why Lu Changsheng ranks higher than Zhu Tianze, in addition to talent, the amount of time spent cultivating is also very important!

Even a genius who dominates a kindergarten can't compare to an average college student!

Zhu Tianze's name has disappeared from the Qilin Ranking because he has cultivated for more than 500,000 years. However, due to his long cultivation time, Zhu Tianze has now reached the Immortal Emperor, First Stage!

Jiang Yu was no match for Lu Changsheng, but he believed Lu Changsheng was no match for Zhu Tianze, so he was just waiting to see what would happen.

"Do you dare to challenge me? If you lose, you will be forbidden from pursuing Miss Lin in the future."

Zhu Tianze was full of fighting spirit and confronted Lu Changsheng.

He may not be as talented as Lu Changsheng, but diligence can make up for lack of talent, and he has cultivated for a longer period of time!

"Oh no, Junior Brother Lu, he has already reached the Immortal Emperor, First Stage. It was my oversight. Perhaps we should give up."

After Zhu Tianze's aura increased, Lin Qinghan realized that she had underestimated the strength of Zhu Tianze, the Yaochi Saint.

Why not?

Lu Changsheng, however, was equally defiant.

He used Zhu Tianze as a test to see just how strong he truly was after entering the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
