A Torch Dragon as a Mountain-Guarding Divine Beast? (4K)
"This is the Soul Infant Fruit, which can nourish the Three Souls and Seven Spirits."
"This is the Vermilion Dragon Fruit, which can strengthen the Dragon Essence."
"This is the Taixuan Matsutake, which can aid in enlightenment."
The Torch Dragon Clan offered Ning Qianqian various treasures as tribute, as if they were worshipping a god.
Ning Qianqian stuffed all sorts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures into her mouth, wolfing them down without any restraint, just like she was at home.
All eight tribes of the Torch Dragon Clan were dumbfounded.
How can the Dragon Emperor eat so much?
At Ning Qianqian 'Ning Qianqian wolfish eating speed, if she stayed in the Torch Dragon Clan for several thousand years, the Torch Dragon Clan would go bankrupt.
"As expected of the Dragon Emperor, he can withstand the medicinal power of so many heavenly materials and earthly treasures. This is the difference between us and the Dragon Emperor."
Huozhang was deeply moved and his admiration for the Dragon Emperor grew even stronger.
The Dragon Emperor's status among the Dragon Clan is the same as that of an emperor among mortals.
The Dragon Emperor is a glutton because his Dragon Emperor Bloodline has extremely high potential and requires a large amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
"As a consequence of the Silver-Pupil Tribe's Silver-Pupil Tribe, they are forbidden from leaving Mount Zhong for the next 30,000 years. Yin Hao, as the Silver-Pupil Tribe's patriarch, will be imprisoned in the tribe's dungeon and suppressed for 100,000 years. The Silver-Pupil Tribe must also offer some of its treasures as compensation to the Taihua Sacred Ground."
Huozhang became the new patriarch of the Torch Dragon Clan, and he could issue orders, and the Silver-Pupil Tribe could not object.
"Our Silver-Pupil Tribe can offer some of our treasures as compensation."
Although Yin Hao was still Qi Ingestion, Huozhang had already become the clan leader, and the Dragon Emperor was also present, so he had no choice but to accept Huozhang's proposal.
Because Ginseng from the Silver-Pupil Tribe was involved in the assassination of Lin Qinghan, they had to offer a large amount of treasures to reconcile with the Taihua Sacred Ground.
Yin Hao was imprisoned in the Torch Dragon Clan's dungeon, sealed by layers of Formation, and would not be able to escape for 100,000 years.
The Taihua Sacred Ground also approved the internal handling of the Torch Dragon Clan.
After dealing with the Silver-Pupil Tribe, Huozhang approached Lu Changsheng and asked, "Young Friend Lu, do you know the Old Dragon Emperor?"
"Uh... to be honest, I don't know them."
Lu Changsheng knew that High Antiquity Great Expert of the Old Dragon Emperor's level were comparable to High Antiquity Devil Master. If he knew such beings, he could have roamed freely in the Immortal Realm long ago.
"Young Friend Lu is joking."
Huozhang Zhang refused to believe that Lu Changsheng didn't know the Old Dragon Emperor.
If Lu Changsheng didn't know the Old Dragon Emperor, how could he have accepted the Dragon Emperor as his disciple?
"My daughter has good aptitude and has never ventured out into the world. She is willing to serve as the Dragon Emperor's servant and help Young Friend Lu guard the mountain gate."
After thinking it over, Huozhang decided to let his daughter follow Ning Qianqian.
The Torch Dragon Clan is just a Dragon Clan Tribe, and Huowen may not be elected as the clan leader. It would be better for him to follow the Dragon Emperor, make friends with powerful figures outside, and perhaps lead the Torch Dragon Clan to prosperity.
The daughter of the Torch Dragon Clan chief, a guardian Divine Beast of the mountains?
That's so cool!
Currently, the guardian Divine Beast of Lu Changsheng's Daoist Dao Field is the Daoist Tuquan, who has Three-Eyed Divine Hound. If there were a Torch Dragon as the guardian Divine Beast, that would be excellent.
Lu Changsheng knew Huozhang's little scheme, but Huowen was already Quasi-Emperor, and a Quasi-Emperor Realm Torch Dragon was not a burden. He could even send him to do some trivial things.
"Can."
Lu Changsheng agreed.
"Hahaha, that's great! Let's drink to our hearts' content!"
Huozhang was in high spirits, took out the finest wine, and drank heartily with Lu Changsheng.
The Torch Dragon Clan held a banquet, and Lin Qinghan took the initiative to toast Xia Ningxue: "I heard that a Peerless Genius has appeared in the Guanghan Holy Land, replacing Jiang Yue as the Saintess. I never expected it to be you. Although our Taihua and Guanghan Holy Lands don't have much interaction, they are neighbors after all. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."
Xia Ningxue was surprised that Lin Qinghan took the initiative to befriend her, so she replied, "Elder Sister Lin, you're too kind. People from different Holy Land should naturally look after each other."
"I'm actually a little envious of my younger sister."
Lin Qinghan looked at her delicate face reflected in the wine glass and sighed softly.
If she had arrived a moment earlier, I wonder who Lu Changsheng would have chosen?
While the Torch Dragon Clan was entertaining everyone, Yin Hao, the leader of the Silver-Pupil Tribe, was imprisoned and would be held for 100,000 years.
"Do not make any moves during this time. I will return in 100,000 years."
In order to protect the Silver-Pupil Tribe, Yin Hao voluntarily went to prison.
Although Yin Hao failed, he ultimately cooperated with the Blood Sea Hall for the benefit of the Silver-Pupil Tribe, and the Silver-Pupil Tribe still regarded Yin Hao as their master.
On the other side, Immortal Emperor Buyi and Fairy Shunhua captured a powerful figure from the Demon Realm and interrogated him ahead of schedule.
The Immortal Emperor Buyi placed his hand on the Heavenly Spirit of the Demon Realm's powerful figure, forcibly reading his memories.
The Immortal Emperor Buyi's Daoist Robes were soaked with sweat.
Fairy Shunhua asked from the side, "How is it?"
"This Demon is Devil Lord Xuanyi of the Demon Realm, a cultivator at the Immortal Emperor Ninth Stage, and one of the hundred thousand Demon Generals of the Demon Realm."
Immortal Emperor Buyi Yi took a deep breath; he had almost exhausted all his strength in searching Devil Lord Xuanyi's Sea of Consciousness.
Fairy Shunhua's expression was solemn. The Demon Realm was different from the Immortal Realm. The Demon Realm had a strict hierarchy, consisting of Devil Master, Demon Marshal, 100,000 Demon Generals, and 100 million Demon Soldiers.
After the Devil Master's fall, the Demon Marshal commanded 100,000 Demon Generals and hundreds of millions of Demon Soldiers, making him a formidable force capable of rivaling the Immortal Realm.
"I saw the Demon Marshal's figure in his memory."
"Could it be that the Demon Marshal instructed this person to manipulate the selection of the Torch Dragon Clan's Clan Leader Selection?"
"It's hard to say. Almost every one of the 100,000 Demon Generals has seen the Demon Marshal, some even more than once. This person is also a subordinate of the Demon Marshal's capable lieutenant, the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable Huanming. It's also possible that it was the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable's doing. Some of the Devil Lord Xuanyi's memories are sealed. If we forcibly search them, his Sea of Consciousness will explode, and his Soul Scattered. If we bring him back to the Holy Land, perhaps Master has a way."
"This is the only way."
Fairy Shunhua knew that Immortal Emperor Buyi was skilled in search techniques, and even he couldn't fully read the Divine Sense of Devil Lord Xuanyi, so Fairy Shunhua probably couldn't either.
Lin Xuantong and several other patriarchs from the Holy Lands might possess Secret Art that could break the Divine Sense seal of the Devil Lord Xuanyi.
"We should head back now, lest something unexpected happen."
After the banquet at the Torch Dragon Clan's banquet, Immortal Emperor Buyi Fairy Shunhua prepared to lead their team back to Holy Land Taihua Sacred Ground to bring back Devil Lord Xuanyi and the Traitor Immortal Emperor to be dealt with by Lin Xuantong.
"Lu Lang, I must return to the Holy Land to report to my master first. We will meet again when we have the chance."
Xia Ningxue and Lu Changsheng spent a thousand years alone in the Cultivation Space, relieving their longing for Yearning. After calming down, they still had to return to the Holy Land to report to the Sacred Lord of Guanghan. After all, she was the Moon Palace Saintess, and the Guanghan Holy Land provided a lot of Cultivation Resources. She could not forget the kindness.
"Um."
Lu Changsheng wasn't in a hurry, since the lifespan of an Immortal Emperor could be as short as several million years or as long as tens of millions of years.
Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue are pursuing immortality, so they need to continue their arduous cultivation.
"I'm entrusting my daughter to your care."
Huozhang pushed his daughter, Huowen, towards him.
Huowen was not intimidated. "I hope you will guide me in the future, young master."
That guy Huozhang, he really timed it perfectly.
"Lu Lang, what's this?"
Lu Changsheng noticed that Xia Ningxue's aura had turned cold, so he said to Huowen, "From now on, you must serve the Dragon Emperor well."
"That's natural."
Huowen had no objection to serving Ning Qianqian, whose cultivation level was lower than her own.
It is an honor for the members of the Torch Dragon Clan to serve the Dragon Emperor.
Once the Dragon Emperor grows up, he will be one of the strongest beings in the world.
Xia Ningxue calmed down a little, but then she realized she had felt a slight unease. She smiled knowingly and said, "What's wrong with me? Xia Ningxue, you have to have confidence in yourself."
"Xue'er, what are you muttering?"
"It's alright, Lu Lang, we'll see you later."
Xia Ningxue and the team from the Guanghan Holy Land departed to report to the Moon Palace.
Fairy Shunhua looked at Xia Ningxue as she left and said to Lu Changsheng, "Within the body of the Moon Palace Saintess, there is an extremely terrifying spiritual power. It is likely that one of the ancestors of the Guanghan Holy Land used a supreme Secret Art to seal his life's work within her body before his time was up. Her future is limitless."
Lu Changsheng was secretly surprised. As expected of Fairy Shunhua, who was Lin Xuantong's Personal Disciple, her eyes were sharp and she could see that the Guanghan Ancestor's lifelong power was sealed in Xia Ningxue's body.
The Guanghan Ancestor attempted to possess another body, but Xia Ningxue ended up stealing all his life's power from him—a twist of fate for Xia Ningxue.
Lu Changsheng couldn't understand why Xia Ningxue was able to defeat an old monster like the Guanghan Ancestor during the possession.
According to Xia Ningxue, this Guanghan Ancestor was one of the Great Expert who founded the Guanghan Holy Land. She had already possessed many Peerless Genius of the Guanghan Holy Land, but she never expected to fall to Xia Ningxue.
Lu Changsheng couldn't understand, so he shook his head and returned to the Holy Land with the others from Taihua Sacred Ground.
In the Taihua Sacred Ground, Lin Xuantong was reading a classic text in his study when suddenly he sensed a familiar presence descending upon the Holy Land's gate. He frowned immediately. "Why is this guy here again?"
At the Holy Land mountain gate, thousands of disciples and Elders descended, accompanied by Divine Beast beasts such as True Dragons, Phoenixes, Azure Luan, and White Marsh, creating a magnificent spectacle.
The thousands of disciples and Elders who arrived all carried Long Swords, wore white robes and skirts, and had a picture of an Immortal Sword embroidered on the chest of their Daoist Robes.
All the male disciples were handsome and gentle.
All the female disciples were stunningly beautiful, aloof and otherworldly.
The Immortal Changliu, Frost-and-Wind Sword.
These are the Elders and disciples of the Changliu Holy Land!
The leader was a refined middle-aged man with starry eyes and Immortal Sword at his waist, adorned with ornate white tassels.
His carriage was pulled by eight True Dragons, which shows his high status.
Upon seeing this person, Wu De quickly stepped forward to greet him, leading the many disciples of the Holy Land to pay their respects. "Wu De, a junior from the Taihua Sacred Ground, pays respects to the Immortal Changliu."
"Go and inform Lin Xuantong."
"Yes."
Wu De was not angry when he saw that the other party addressed Lin Xuantong by his name directly. Instead, he immediately went back to report to Lin Xuantong.
Because the person before them was the Sacred Lord of Changliu Holy Land. In his youth, he was a rival of Lin Xuantong. At that time, Lin Xuantong ranked as high as second on the Qilin Ranking, while the Immortal Changliu was right behind Lin Xuantong, ranking third.
Even now, the Immortal Changliu still occasionally comes to spar with Lin Xuantong.
Lin Xuantong also Immortal Changliu, his opponent whom he had fought since their youth, to be a headache.
Although Lin Xuantong always managed to Immortal Changliu Shangxian and had defeated Immortal Changliu countless times, Immortal Changliu never gave up despite repeated defeats.
Lin Xuantong was quite helpless with the stubborn and Qi Ingestion Immortal Changliu.
Moreover, Immortal Changliu's Eldest Disciple, White Immortal Emperor, and Lin Xuantong's Eldest Disciple, Qingyang Immortal Emperor Qingyang, were almost evenly matched opponents, with Immortal Emperor Qingyang having a slight advantage. Immortal Changliu couldn't save face, so he continued to cause trouble for Lin Xuantong.
The fact that Immortal Changliu has brought his Eldest Disciple, White Immortal Emperor, along with a group of Elders and disciples to visit the Taihua Sacred Ground is most likely because they are here to cause trouble for Lin Xuantong.
"Your Sacred Lord, the Immortal Changliu is personally leading a group of people from the Changliu Holy Land, waiting at the mountain gate."
"I already know. Bring them in and treat them well."
Although Lin Xuantong was troubled by the frequent troubles caused by the Immortal Changliu, he also found that having Immortal Changliu opponent like the Immortal Lin Xuantong allowed him to gain insights while sparring with Immortal Changliu.
Therefore, whenever the Immortal Changliu came to cause him trouble, Lin Xuantong would have his men entertain him well.
"Strange, I defeated him again Ten Thousand Years Ago, how come he's back so soon? Could it be that he's mastered some powerful Cultivation Method in these 100,000 years? Or has he reached the highest level of his Frost-and-Wind Swordsmanship?"
Lin Xuantong fell into deep thought.
For powerful figures like Lin Xuantong and Immortal Changliu, ten thousand years is but a fleeting moment; ten thousand years is insufficient to master divine skills.
It's unlikely that the Immortal Changliu could make a comeback so soon after losing, only a hundred thousand years later.
"Lin Xuantong, it's been a long time."
Immortal Changliu appeared in Lin Xuantong's study, found a chair and sat down. He then took out a tea set from his Inner Space and began to savor the fragrant tea. "Do you have Enlightenment Tea Leaf? It has been a long time since I've tasted the Enlightenment Tea Leaf of your Taihua Sacred Ground."
He had come to Lin Xuantong to spar many times and had become quite familiar with the place, treating it as his own cave abode.
Lin Xuantong rolled his eyes, refusing to offer the other party Enlightenment Tea Leaf. It wasn't that Lin Xuantong cared, but rather that he didn't want to. "If you want to spar with me, then hurry up and get started. I have many matters to attend to."
"No. I have come from afar not to spar with you, but my Disciple wishes to challenge your disciple."
"You mean the White Immortal Emperor? But my Eldest Disciple, the Immortal Emperor Qingyang, has been missing for quite some time."
"Lin Xuantong, you're wrong again. My disciple wants to challenge your youngest Disciple. I've long heard that your youngest Disciple is a prodigy, already ranked eleventh on the Qilin Ranking. Today, my Disciple will dampen his arrogance."
"The White Immortal Emperor has cultivated for eight million years, while my disciple has cultivated for less than five hundred thousand years. You are bullying the weak."
Lin Xuantong frowned.
Isn't the Immortal Changliu bullying people?
Since the White Immortal Emperor couldn't defeat his Eldest Disciple, the Immortal Emperor Qingyang, he resorted to bullying his youngest disciple, Lu Changsheng?
"Lin Xuantong, you're still wrong. The one who challenged your little Disciple is my newly accepted student. This time, I'm going to get my revenge."
The Immortal Changliu, pointed to his newly accepted Disciple.
Li Changye clasped his hands in greeting to Lin Xuantong and said, "I am Li Changye from the Changliu Holy Land, and I wish to meet Lu Changsheng, the Taihua Saint."
"The Myriad Desolations Indestructible Body?"
Lin Xuantong's sharp eyes recognized Li Changye's Special Physique.
This physique is quite extraordinary.
