Your Disciple Is a Dead Man! (4K)

Lu Changsheng stayed at Jinglong Mountain for a while, and then returned to Taihua Mountain with his Disciple Xu Jing.

Qingyue Immortal Maiden didn't say much and continued to guard Jinglong Mountain.

Welcome back, Saint!

Wu De, who was guarding the gate of Taihua Divine Mountain, saw that Lu Changsheng had been missing for a long time, had finally returned to the Holy Land, and hurriedly went forward to greet him.

"Um."

Lu Changsheng returned to Taihua Mountain and immediately went straight to Lin Xuantong's cave abode.

Lu Changsheng needs to find out the origins of his twelfth disciple, Xu Jing.

If Lu Changsheng doesn't even know Xu Jing's background, he can't guide him in cultivation.

Lin Xuantong, after all, is the Taihua Sacred Lord, and is very knowledgeable. He might even be able to access some ancient books that are not in the Scripture Repository, and perhaps he can figure out Lin Xuantong Xu Jing's background.

"Father has recently encountered a bottleneck and is currently at the cliff in the Rear Mountain seeking guidance from the ancestor. I'll take you there."

When Lin Qinghan saw Lu Changsheng visiting, she took Lu Changsheng to find Lin Xuantong.

Has Lin Xuantong encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation?

Lu Changsheng knew that Lin Xuantong had surpassed the Immortal Emperor Realm, and now that Lin Xuantong had encountered a bottleneck, it meant that Lin Xuantong would soon advance to another minor realm.

Lin Xuantong was definitely a cultivation prodigy, after all, he was the second most outstanding genius on the Qilin Ranking of his era, second only to the current Sect Master the Purple Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain.

On the cliff Rear Mountain, Lin Xuantong was discussing the Dao with the Household Ancestor Lin.

Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan arrived with Xu Jing and waited patiently for three days before Lin Xuantong and the Household Ancestor Lin finally stopped.

Where have you been all this time?

Lin Xuantong noticed that Lu Changsheng had returned silently, so he asked.

"This disciple went to the Nine Serenities Forbidden Land to collect necessary Cultivation Resources, and unintentionally caused a little trouble."

"What is it?"

"This..."

Lu Changsheng briefly explained what had happened.

Lin Xuantong and the Household Ancestor Lin exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Is this just a minor mishap?

It's clearly just a tiny fraction!

Who is the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable?

Even the patriarchs of the Taihua Sacred Ground were no match for him!

The Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable Huanming possessed overwhelming demonic power and influence in the Demon Realm; only the Old Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable Old Devil Marshal could subdue him.

As a result, Lu Changsheng actually wanted to kidnap his daughter, Dantai Meng, and take her back to the Taihua Sacred Ground?

Let alone whether Lu Changsheng can bring Dantai Meng back, even if he does, the Taihua Sacred Ground wouldn't dare to accept her.

If Dantai Meng is imprisoned on Taihua Mountain, won't the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable lead a large group of powerful Demon Realm to fight him to the death?

Taihua Mountain, a Holy Land, could not stop the Demon Realm Army of the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable.

This seemingly trivial matter could even ignite a great war between the Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm.

Fortunately, the An’an Devil Lord rescued Dantai Meng; otherwise, Taihua Mountain would have been in trouble, and all the patriarchs might have suffered from high blood pressure.

The Household Ancestor Lin secretly broke out in a cold sweat.

He was no match for the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable.

Lin Xuantong patted Lu Changsheng on the shoulder solemnly, speaking earnestly, "Changsheng, your desire to obtain information about the Blood Sea Hall from Dantai Meng is commendable. However, the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable Non-Self Taihua Mountain can confront head-on. In the future, we should try to avoid direct confrontation with him. But you don't need to worry about the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable 'Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable retaliation. From today onwards, I will strengthen Taihua Mountain's Barrier. If the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable wants to break through Taihua Mountain's Barrier, he will have to pay a heavy price. As long as we Taihua Mountain hold him off, the Holy Lands of Kunlun Mountain, Yaochi, Changliu Mountain, and Moon Palace will not stand idly by. Even the Heavenly Court will send people."

"Thank you for your trouble, Master."

Lu Changsheng knew that Lin Xuantong had already treated him very well.

Even though Lu Changsheng offended the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable, Lin Xuantong still wanted to protect Lu Changsheng.

"This is the Disciple I have recruited. I would appreciate it if Master and Ancestor could examine his aptitude and determine what type of Cultivation Method he is suited to practice."

Lu Changsheng asked Xu Jing to step forward and examine the aptitudes of Lin Xuantong and the Household Ancestor Lin.

Lin Xuantong and the Household Ancestor Lin examined the bones and pulses, their expressions gradually becoming serious.

The two began to calculate Xu Jing's Fortune again, their expressions becoming even more somber.

Lin Qinghan said to Lu Changsheng, "It's strange, I rarely see Father and Ancestor with such expressions."

"It seems my Disciple is no ordinary person."

Lu Changsheng knew that Xu Jing was not an ordinary person.

Xu Jing may not even be considered Human Race Xiuzhenzhe.

"How long did your Lin Household clan's ancestor cultivate?"

Lu Changsheng had met the Household Ancestor Lin more than once.

The Taihua Sacred Ground has several patriarch-level figures.

These ancestors came from different sects in the Taihua Sacred Ground.

The Household Ancestor Lin was the patriarch of the main branch. In addition, there were branch patriarchs such as the Jiang Clan Ancestor and the Ye Clan Ancestor patriarch.

Lin Qinghan shook her head. "I don't know either. It's said that this ancestor cultivated for hundreds of millions of years."

Human Race Xiuzhenzhe, who have existed for hundreds of millions of years, possess unfathomable strength.

Lu Changsheng was also unaware of the strength of the Household Ancestor Lin. Judging from the fact that Lin Xuantong still needed to seek guidance from the Household Ancestor Lin after his breakthrough, the Household Ancestor Lin's cultivation was far superior to Lin Xuantong's.

This Household Ancestor Lin was once the Taihua Sacred Lord, and his cultivation was extraordinary.

After discussing it for a while, Lin Xuantong Household Ancestor Lin transmitted his voice Lin Xuantong Lu Changsheng: "Changsheng, do you know that beyond the Three Realms, there are also the Netherworld Realm, the Western Elysium Realm, the Three Thousand Small Worlds, and other places?"

"Um."

"The Netherworld Realm is the place where the Three Souls and Seven Spirits of beings from the Three Realms return. Like the Three Realms, the Netherworld Realm also gave birth to a group of beings. For example, the Mountain Goblin and Yakshas you see in the Nine Serenities are all beings from the Netherworld Realm, and are also called Ghosts by Xiuzhenzhe in the Immortal Realm."

Why would beings from the Netherworld Realm appear in the Nine Serenities Forbidden Land?

Lu Changsheng felt a chill run down his spine; he hadn't expected there to be such a connection.

Lin Xuantong continued, "The Nine Serenities Forbidden Land is actually a massive Spacetime rift, leading to both the Demon Realm and the Netherworld Realm. War of High Antiquity, several powerful beings fought there, causing a rift in the Netherworld Realm. Some of the Yin Sha Qi overflowed into the Immortal Realm, thus forming the Nine Serenities Forbidden Land. Where the Yin Sha Qi is too concentrated, creatures from the Netherworld Realm, such as Mountain Goblin and Yakshas, will emerge."

"I see."

After Lin Xuantong's explanation, Lu Changsheng suddenly understood.

It turns out that the Netherworld that Disciple Chen Yi was searching for was actually so close to the Immortal Realm; one could travel to the Netherworld Realm from the Nine Serenities Forbidden Land.

However, the Netherworld Realm is even more mysterious than the Demon Realm, and Lu Changsheng is not yet capable of helping Chen Yi fulfill his long-cherished wish.

"What does all this have to do with my newly accepted disciple?"

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment, why was Lin Xuantong telling him all this?

"Of course it's related." Lin Xuantong a deep breath. "Your disciple is a dead man."

"What?!"

Lu Changsheng was deeply shocked.

He took a dead man as his Disciple?

This is absolutely outrageous!

"To be precise, he was once dead. If my ancestor and I are correct in our deductions, this Xu Jing should have been a powerful Human Race Xiuzhenzhe in life. For some unknown reason, he ventured from the Nine Serenities Forbidden Land into the Netherworld Realm and unfortunately perished."

Lu Changsheng was shocked by Lin Xuantong's deduction. "Then why would he be resurrected and appear in the Nine Serenities?"

Lin Xuantong's expression was solemn. "His physical body was affected by the Yin Sha Qi of the Netherworld Realm, making it indestructible since time immemorial, and a new intelligence has emerged within his body. As for why he was able to leave the Netherworld Realm and appear in the Nine Serenities, neither the Ancestor nor I know the details. Our divination techniques can only provide a rough estimate. If we must say what Cultivation Method is suitable for him, it would naturally be the Netherworld Realm Cultivation Method's... However, our Taihua Sacred Ground doesn't know much about the Netherworld Realm, and we only have a dozen or so Netherworld Realm Cultivation Methods, none of which have ever been practiced. We don't know if they would be suitable for your disciple."

The Household Ancestor Lin interjected, "The Netherworld Realm Cultivation Method are also one of the Three Thousand Great Daos, and they have a name called 'Ghost Dao.' Since your disciple was created under the influence of the Yin Sha Qi of the Netherworld Realm, and unlike Mountain Goblin, Yakshas, and other Ghosts who lack humanity, you are undoubtedly a genius in the Ghost Dao. Speaking of which, our Taihua Mountain has never cultivated such Disciple before; you are the first."

Lu Changsheng was shocked, but couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He went to the Nine Serenities to train the Demonic Dao genius Dugu Aotian, but ended up taking in another genius from the Ghost Dao.

How come he has all sorts of disciples under his tutelage?

God of War, Literary Sage, Demon God, Dragon Emperor, Buddha, Devil Ancestor, Ghost Dao, Child of Destiny, Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden...

If the twelve disciples grow up, the Three Realms will be turned upside down and chaos will ensue.

However, the Taihua Sacred Ground only has a dozen or so Ghost Dao Cultivation Method, which may not be suitable for Xu Jing, so Lu Changsheng doesn't have many choices.

Fortunately, Lu Changsheng had Apprentice-Teaching Simulator, which could return him higher-level Cultivation Method.

"This disciple will go to the Scripture Repository."

Lu Changsheng planned to see if there were any suitable Xu Jing... no, Ghost Dao Cultivation Method Xu Jing.

"Go."

Lin Xuantong had no idea how Lu Changsheng managed to recruit so many exceptionally talented disciples.

The Taihua Sacred Ground has never produced a genius in the Ghost Dao. Even Lin Xuantong doesn't know how to guide Xu Jing's cultivation.

That depends on what Lu Changsheng does.

Lu Changsheng arrived at the Scripture Repository.

Elder from the Scripture Repository stepped forward to greet him, "May I ask what Cultivation Method the Saint wishes to exchange for today?"

"I would like to trouble the Elder to retrieve all the Cultivation Method and scriptures related to the Ghost Dao from the Scripture Repository."

"Ghost Dao Cultivation Method?"

The Elders of the Scripture Repository exchanged bewildered glances.

I've never heard of that.

Who among decent people practices Ghost Dao Cultivation Method?

The Scripture Repository contains hundreds of millions of Cultivation Method and classic texts, but there are only a dozen or so related to the Ghost Dao Cultivation Method, which are barely noticeable in the Misty Sea of Cultivation Method.

Furthermore, no disciples exchanged for the Ghost Dao Cultivation Method, so even the Golden Immortal Realm Elders in the Scripture Repository were unaware that such Cultivation Method existed within the Scripture Repository.

An old man in a gray robe appeared out of nowhere.

The Elders of the Scripture Repository bowed and said, "Greetings, Pavilion Master."

Lu Changsheng looked at the gray-robed old man. The old man had a terrifying aura and was probably at the Great Immortal Emperor Realm cultivation.

This gray-robed old man had been cultivating in cave abode near the Scripture Repository, secretly guarding Scripture Repository. He was the true Grand Supreme Elders who managed the Scripture Repository.

"The Sacred Lord has already told me via telepathy that the Cultivation Method and scriptures you requested are right here."

The gray-robed old man gestured, and a wooden door to a hidden room in the Scripture Repository opened, from which thirteen Cultivation Method and classic texts flew out and came to Lu Changsheng.

Even with the resources of the Taihua Sacred Ground, there are only twelve Ghost Dao Cultivation Method and one book about the Netherworld Realm.

Without the Apprentice-Teaching Simulator, Lu Changsheng wouldn't know how to obtain the Ghost Dao Cultivation Method for this disciple.

"These Cultivation Method have been unpracticed for millions of years, and handwritten copies already exist. I'm giving them all to you; no contribution points are required."

When the gray-robed elder spoke, the Elders of the Scripture Repository exchanged glances. Since the pavilion master had decided to give these Cultivation Method and classics to Lu Changsheng free of charge, they had nothing more to say.

After giving Lu Changsheng the Ghost Dao Cultivation Method and scriptures, the gray-robed old man disappeared on the spot.

Lu Changsheng flipped through these Ghost Dao Cultivation Method.

"The Immortal-Stage Upper-Grade Cultivation Method, 'Yin Sha Cultivation Method'."

Lu Changsheng circulated his inner True Qi according to the Cultivation Method recorded above.

Um?

Lu Changsheng felt that his Fortune smoothly, and there was a Yin Qi aura behind him.

"It seems that people in the mortal realm really can't cultivate the Cultivation Method of the underworld."

Lu Changsheng's Innate Dao Body is also unable to cultivate Ghost Dao Cultivation Method. It seems that this disciple's future cultivation will depend on his own comprehension.

Since the Household Ancestor Lin said that Xu Jing is a genius of the Ghost Dao nurtured by the Yin Sha Qi Cultivation Method the Netherworld Realm, then he should be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort in cultivating Ghost Dao techniques. Lu Changsheng only needs to provide Xu Jing with the Cultivation Method and Cultivation Resources.

Lu Changsheng found heavenly materials and earthly treasures the Netherworld, such as the Nine Serenities Soul Grass and the Netherworld Realm Soul-Returning Flower, in the Nine Serenities Forbidden Land. These heavenly materials and earthly treasures were perfect for Xu Jing's cultivation.

Lu Changsheng took away thirteen Ghost Dao Cultivation Method and classic texts with satisfaction.

Now he can properly train his disciples.

He had offended Dantai Meng, the Daughter of the Illusory Nether Demon Venerable, and he didn't know if Dantai Meng would bring Demon Realm experts to retaliate. Lu Changsheng decided to hide in the Taihua Sacred Ground to cultivate for a while before going out to make his way in the world.

"I only captured Dantai Meng alive. She has now returned to the Demon Realm. Since Dantai Meng did not suffer any major losses, Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable should not force his way into Taihua Mountain to kill me."

Lu Changsheng concluded that as Great Expert the Demon Realm who had cultivated for hundreds of millions of years, the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable would not risk a war between the two realms by forcibly storming Taihua Mountain in the Immortal Realm.

After all, Lu Changsheng really didn't do anything to Dantai Meng.

When you lack the strength, leave yourself a way out, so you can meet again in the future.

This old saying is still true.

If we compare Lu Changsheng at this moment to Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still a beggar at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, then the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable is the Yuan Dynasty emperor who holds the Mongol cavalry in his hands. He wouldn't need to lead thousands of troops to snatch a beggar's broken bowl.

After figuring out the pros and cons, Lu Changsheng returned to Yuntai Peak to cultivate with peace of mind, leaving the Treasure Pavilion Elders completely bewildered.

"I almost forgot, our Treasure Pavilion has more than a dozen such Cultivation Method. Normally, nobody exchanges for Cultivation Method."

"Why would the Saint want to cultivate Underworld Cultivation Method?"

"We mortals can't cultivate the Cultivation Method of the underworld, can we?"

"It's possible that our Saint is no ordinary person, and can even cultivate Cultivation Method from the underworld."

"The Saint is indeed a divine being."

The Elders of the Treasure Pavilion were full of praise.

It's simply unbelievable that Lu Changsheng can even cultivate Cultivation Method from the underworld.

Lu Changsheng returned to Yuntai Peak and took stock of the Demon Realm treasures he had looted from Dantai Meng and the rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures had collected in the Nine Serenities Netherworld.

Lu Changsheng obtained thirty-six Demon Bloodstone, plus the Demon Realm treasures he found on Dantai Meng, which was enough to train Dugu Aotian.

Before that, Lu Changsheng planned to train his newly accepted disciple Xu Jing and see what the system could return when rewarding him with Ghost Dao Cultivation Method and treasures.
