A Romantic Showdown! (4K)
Elder Luo of the Heavenly Master Sect was dumbfounded. A powerful Evil Cultivator like Chen Hu was actually suppressed underground by a giant Bronze Treasure Pagoda that fell from the sky.
The Daoist on the Bronze Treasure Pagoda Immortal Bearing otherworldly air and extraordinary temperament, looking like a peerless master.
And this Bronze Treasure Pagoda is even more extraordinary.
"This... this can't be Dao Artifact, can it?"
Elder Luo's scalp tingled. Heavens above! He had actually found a Dao-Proving Law Treasure here!
Chen Hu, Immortal Emperor Fourth Stage, was directly suppressed by the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda!
The Elders and disciples of the Heavenly Master Sect were all stunned.
When they were at their wits' end, a master unexpectedly came to their rescue, and this master even used Dao Artifact.
"Why does this person look so familiar?"
When Shen Xiaoyao saw the Daoist at the top of the tower, he felt like he had seen him somewhere before.
Shen Xiaoyao felt a sharp pain in his head.
Not long after arriving in the Immortal Realm, Shen Xiaoyao was hunted down by the Evil Extremity Sect and suffered severe injuries. Although he survived, he lost his previous memories.
Behind the Daoist, a woman appeared. Her jet-black hair was tied into twin ponytails with a light blue ribbon. She wore Indigo Immortal Skirt with Red Holy Spirit Cloak over it. Her eyes were fixed on Shen Xiaoyao, and her clear eyes welled up with tears. "Brother Xiaoyao, I've finally found you."
"Who are you?"
Shen Xiaoyao's heart ached slightly, feeling a stronger connection to this person, yet he couldn't quite place him.
Don't you remember me?
Tang Ling’er felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Shen Xiaoyao doesn't even remember her!
"He must have lost his memories while being hunted down by the Evil Extremity Sect."
Lu Changsheng quickly understood what was going on.
Shen Xiaoyao has always had a chivalrous heart since childhood, so he shouldn't be so heartless.
Therefore, there is only one possibility: Shen Xiaoyao has lost his memory.
"What should we do then?"
Tang Ling’er was even more distressed to see her lover right in front of her but not be able to recognize him.
"Let's deal with the immediate problem first."
Lu Changsheng knew that the Chen brothers, Chen Long Chen Hu, were not easy to deal with.
The brothers Chen Long and Chen Hu are both powerful figures among Evil Cultivators; otherwise, Lu Changsheng wouldn't have used the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda, a Dao Artifact, right from the start.
Despite Lu Changsheng's calm and composed demeanor, the activation of the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda to directly suppress Chen Hu had already consumed a large amount of Lu Changsheng's True Qi.
Lu Changsheng secretly took a True Yang Wuji Pill.
The True Yang Wuji Pill entered his body, and its pure and powerful medicinal power dissolved, replenishing Lu Changsheng's lost True Qi.
Chen Long looked up in horror at the towering Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda.
With his keen eye, it wasn't hard for him to see that this ancient Treasure Pagoda was a Dao Artifact!
Since the other party wields Dao Artifact, could the man atop the Treasure Pagoda be a master of the God King Realm?
Chen Long broke out in a cold sweat.
He's mad, but not stupid.
Is it possible for a normal Immortal Emperor to possess Dao Artifact?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
So this man who wields the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda might be a master of the God King Realm!
Chen Long disregarded rescuing his younger brother Chen Hu, who was imprisoned beneath the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda. Instead, he retrieved the Demon Banner, merged with it, and transformed into a wisp of black mist, fleeing into the distance.
He was no match for Lu Changsheng, who possessed Dao Artifact.
"This person has refined countless living beings, causing havoc in the region. We urgently request a powerful expert to capture him!"
Elder Luo knew that Lu Changsheng's strength was even greater than Chen Long's, so he quickly asked Lu Changsheng to make a move.
Lu Changsheng had no intention of letting Chen Long go either. With a thought, he summoned the Lu Changsheng Azure Emperor Sword, which transformed into a streak of light and flew to slash at Chen Long.
"Black Dragon Art!"
Chen Long turned around and unleashed a powerful palm strike, transforming the Devil Qi into a menacing black dragon.
Lu Changsheng then activated the "Purple Tenuity Heavenly Fire True Art," and endless Heavenly Fire appeared around the Azure Emperor Sword.
"One Sword Across the Ages!"
Lu Changsheng's sword strike, imbued with boundless Heavenly Fire Sword, cleaved through Spacetime.
The black dragon-shaped True Qi broke apart inch by inch.
The tip of the Azure Emperor Sword appeared before Chen Long, its tip gleaming with a cold light.
Chen Long's face turned pale as he desperately tried to avoid the edge of the Azure Emperor Sword.
Even though the Azure Emperor Sword is Upper-Grade Emperor Armament rather than Dao Artifact, it is still not something that Chen Long, an Evil Cultivator at the Immortal Emperor Fifth Stage, can withstand.
If he were to be touched by the Azure Emperor Sword, he would either die or be seriously injured.
The sword strike was incredibly fast. Chen Long twisted his body frantically, barely managing to avoid having his heart pierced by the Azure Emperor Sword. However, the Azure Emperor Sword still pierced through Chen Long's right chest!
"Puff!"
Chen Long, Immortal Emperor Fifth Stage, was severely injured!
If Chen Long were a monstrous genius like Dantai Meng or Feng Mu, then Lu Changsheng would still face pressure fighting across levels. However, Chen Long's aptitude is far inferior to that of Dantai Meng, Feng Mu, and others.
In the eyes of Elder Luo and other Great Luo Golden Immortals, the Chen brothers, Chen Long and Chen Hu, might already be Demonic Dao geniuses, invincible Demons. But in Lu Changsheng's view, who had fought against many geniuses, Chen Long Chen Hu brothers' aptitude, if placed on the Qilin Ranking, would only be in the top 500.
The Chen brothers, Chen Long Chen Hu, are extremely terrifying because they have cultivated for four million years and practiced Demonic Dao Cultivation Method that allows for rapid progress.
If true cultivation geniuses like Dantai Meng, Feng Mu, Lin Qinghan, and the Exiled Sword Immortal were given four million years of cultivation time, their cultivation levels wouldn't have remained at the Immortal Emperor Fourth Stage or Immortal Emperor Fifth Stage like the Chen Long and Chen Hu brothers.
Chen Long vomited a mouthful of blood, which stained his clothes red.
"When you Evil Extremity Sect Demon manipulate others at will, do you ever think that one day you will get what you deserve?"
The Azure Emperor Sword returned to Lu Changsheng's hands, and Lu Changsheng's expression was indifferent.
To deal with these evil people from the Evil Extremity Sect, you have to be even more evil than them.
Lu Changsheng saw fear in Chen Long's eyes.
The Evil Extremity Sect Demon like Chen Long and Chen Hu took pleasure in killing because they possessed the cultivation to control the fate of others. But when they became fish on the chopping block, they no longer found it fun.
With a flick of his finger, Lu Changsheng summoned the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda, which rose from the ground, enveloping Chen Long and taking the injured Chen Long inside as well.
The brothers Chen Long and Chen Hu of the Evil Extremity Sect were both imprisoned in the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda.
The Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda is Ninth-Grade Dao Artifact. Even True Dragon at the Great Perfection Immortal Emperor realm would find it difficult to escape once imprisoned inside, let alone the brothers Chen Long and Chen Hu.
The Chen brothers, Chen Long Chen Hu, didn't have the same powerful backing as Dantai Meng, so Lu Changsheng wasn't worried about them escaping. He planned to bring them back to the Taihua Sacred Ground before interrogating them.
"We, the Elders and disciples of the Heavenly Master Sect, are eternally grateful for the life-saving grace of the esteemed master. May we ask the master's name?"
Elder Luo and a group of the Heavenly Master Sect disciples came to thank Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng directly suppressed Chen Hu with the Treasure Pagoda, and then personally took action, severely injuring Chen Long with a single sword strike. His prowess had already impressed Elder Luo and his group.
Moreover, Lu Changsheng also possesses a Ninth-Grade Dao Artifact, indicating that his origins are definitely extraordinary.
"This humble Lu Changsheng."
Lu Changsheng had no need to conceal his identity.
The Heavenly Master Sect is a famous Immortal Gate in the Central Immortal Realm. Its Sect Master is God King Realm powerhouse who has killed many Evil Cultivators. Presumably, he would not offend the Taihua Sacred Ground.
"You are Lu Changsheng Taihua Saint of Taihua, who is First on the Qilin Ranking?!"
Elder Luo exclaimed in surprise.
Lu Changsheng is quite famous in the Immortal Realm!
After Ku, who was originally First on the Qilin Ranking, withdrew from the Qilin Ranking, Lu Changsheng became the First on the Qilin Ranking.
The Qilin Ranking is the publicly recognized list of young geniuses in the entire Immortal Realm. All the major Holy Lands and Sects take pride in having their disciples on the list, and the Heavenly Master Sect of Yellow Dragon Mountain is no exception.
"So he's the Peerless Genius First on the Qilin Ranking."
No wonder the Chen brothers, Chen Long Chen Hu, were no match for him.
"The Taihua Sacred Ground is being far too kind to their Saint; they've even brought out Dao Artifact."
"Daoist Lu of Immortal Bearing and handsome appearance, which perfectly matches my image of the First on the Qilin Ranking."
"I wonder if Daoist Lu already has dao companion? If he doesn't, I might want to..."
The disciples of the Heavenly Master Sect, knowing Lu Changsheng's background, became even more excited, chattering incessantly. Heavenly Master Sect female disciples, in particular, stared at Lu Changsheng with intense, almost drooling gazes.
Given Lu Changsheng's status and position, ordinary female disciples would consider it an incredible stroke of luck to even exchange a single word with Lu Changsheng.
"Lu Changsheng... Lu Changsheng..."
Shen Xiaoyao clutched his head, his head throbbing with pain.
This name is very familiar.
In a hazy state, a scene appeared in Shen Xiaoyao's mind.
"Your disciple, Shen Xiaoyao, is willing to follow Master across the world, upholding justice and punishing evil, to become a great hero!"
"Being a great hero isn't easy, but you must remember your original aspirations and never forget what you're saying now."
"Master?"
Shen Xiaoyao seemed to remember something.
"Brother Xiaoyao, don't you remember me?"
After Lu Changsheng dealt with the Chen Long Chen Hu, Tang Ling’er ran up to Shen Xiaoyao, grabbed his hand, and tried to make Shen Xiaoyao remember the past.
"Young lady, this isn't a good idea..."
Shen Xiaoyao subconsciously took half a step back.
However, the next moment, Shen Xiaoyao felt that the person in front of him was very familiar.
"Brother Xiaoyao, are you serious about taking that half-step back? I've been waiting for you for tens of thousands of years."
Tang Ling’er felt as if she had been doused with cold water, and was heartbroken.
"Brother Xiaoyao, are you all alright?"
Another group of the Heavenly Master Sect disciples arrived.
The leader of this group of the Heavenly Master Sect disciples was a woman.
This woman was stunningly beautiful, with long, flowing Black Hair that reached her waist. She was breathtakingly beautiful, and her looks were comparable to Tang Ling’er's.
The woman was taken aback when she saw Lu Changsheng, Tang Ling’er, and the three of them.
Lu Changsheng recognized the woman.
Isn't this Wu Wan'er, the Imperial Princess of the Yue Kingdom in the Mortal Realm?
Lu Changsheng still remembered this little fangirl who used to follow Shen Xiaoyao around.
Unexpectedly, Wu Wan'er, having received guidance from Shen Xiaoyao in the past, also successfully Tribulation Transcendence and Ascension, joining the Heavenly Master Sect and becoming Heavenly Master Sect disciple. Now, she has also attained the cultivation of Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Lu Changsheng had long ago suspected that the two of them had Cause and Effect with Shen Xiaoyao, but he never expected that it was Wu Wan'er who saved Shen Xiaoyao's life after arriving in the Immortal Realm.
However, judging from Shen Xiaoyao and Wu Wan'er's attitudes, could it be...?
Women's intuition is frighteningly accurate. Tang Ling’er discovered something and exchanged glances with Wu Wan'er.
A battlefield of Asura.
Lu Changsheng smiled wryly; he roughly understood what was going on.
One is an ex, and the other is a current partner.
Moreover, Shen Xiaoyao was severely injured while being hunted by the Evil Extremity Sect, and thus lost some of his memories, so it's not entirely Shen Xiaoyao's fault.
Even with his high cultivation level, Lu Changsheng couldn't interfere in his disciples' private affairs, especially in such an Asura situation.
"Wu Wan'er, you're so despicable! You took advantage of my Xiaoyao brother's amnesia."
Tang Ling’er prepared to make her move.
She used to be the Young Lady of the Stars Pavilion, and she's not one to tolerate things.
Wu Wan'er mustered her courage, unwilling to back down. "What I did was indeed wrong. But when I saved Brother Xiaoyao, he was already severely injured and could Body and Spirit Annihilation at any moment. If I hadn't knelt at the Heavenly Master Sect for seven days and seven nights, and if the Heavenly Master Sect Master, True Lord Qingxu, hadn't bestowed upon him Eighteenth-Grade Immortal Pill, Brother Xiaoyao would have already Soul Scattered. When he awoke, he had lost all his memories, and I also thought you had perished. I didn't want Brother Xiaoyao to remember the painful things of the past, which is why I never mentioned your existence."
"So it was you who saved Brother Xiaoyao..."
Seeing Wu Wan'er's aggrieved expression, Tang Ling’er could somewhat sense Wu Wan'er's feelings.
Wu Wan'er has been a big fan of Shen Xiaoyao childhood and saved his life. After Shen Xiaoyao his memory, she didn't mention the past in order to let him start a new life.
Wu Wan'er may have had selfish motives, but what she did cannot be called wrong.
Shen Xiaoyao was completely bewildered; Wu Wan'er and Tang Ling’er actually knew each other.
"So what should we do now?"
"I don't know either."
The two women stared at each other, unsure how to resolve the issue.
Tang Ling’er finally found Shen Xiaoyao, but Shen Xiaoyao no longer remembered her.
Wu Wan'er believed that Tang Ling’er had perished and concealed Tang Ling’er's existence from Shen Xiaoyao, only to have Tang Ling’er come looking for her.
For a moment, the two were at a loss for what to do.
"My disciple is blessed with the fortune of having multiple wives; he truly is Child of Destiny."
Seeing the two women frozen in place, Lu Changsheng, as Shen Xiaoyao's master, had no choice but to intervene.
"I have a suggestion: why don't we set aside the dispute and wait until my disciple regains his memories before dealing with this matter? What do you think?"
"Can Brother Xiaoyao's memories be restored?"
"I've read an ancient book that describes an Eighteenth-Grade Immortal Pill called the 'Nine-Revolution Soul-Restoring Pill,' which can restore memories even if they've been damaged. If we can manage to obtain just one of these Immortal Pills, we can restore his memories."
Lu Changsheng also wanted to restore Shen Xiaoyao's memories; otherwise, it wouldn't be a good thing if this disciple didn't recognize him as his master.
As for how to obtain the "Nine-Revolution Soul-Restoring Pill," it's actually not difficult.
The more troublesome method, of course, is to use Apprentice-Teaching Simulator to obtain it.
Alternatively, one can directly request the Elders of the Lianshan Holy Land to refine the "Nine-Revolution Soul-Restoring Pill".
The Lianshan Holy Land is renowned for its expertise in refining Medicinal Pills, and can even refine Twentieth-Grade Divine Pill.
Lu Changsheng had accumulated quite a few treasures over the years, and he could afford to pay the Elders of the Lianshan Holy Land for Lu Changsheng pills.
Tang Ling’er and Wu Wan'er exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.
Letting Shen Xiaoyao regain his memories and make his own decisions is undoubtedly the best solution.
At this point, the dispute must be set aside.
"Daoist Lu rescued our Heavenly Master Sect disciples. We humbly request that Daoist Lu visit Yellow Dragon Mountain so that we may extend our hospitality."
Elder Luo knew this was an opportunity for the Heavenly Master Sect to befriend the future Taihua Sacred Lord, so he invited Lu Changsheng to Yellow Dragon Mountain.
