Lianshan Holy Land (4K)

Upon hearing that the Taihua Saint had come to visit, the Sect Master of Yellow Dragon Mountain, True Lord Qingxu, instructed the members of the Heavenly Master Sect to give him a proper welcome.

Lu Changsheng ranked First on the Qilin Ranking and was quite famous in the Immortal Realm.

Furthermore, Lu Changsheng is the Taihua Saint Son of Taihua, and in ten million years, he is very likely to succeed Lin Xuantong and take charge of the Taihua Sacred Ground.

If the Heavenly Master Sect were to establish friendly relations with the Taihua Sacred Ground, it would be a good thing for the Heavenly Master Sect.

"I am the Grand Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Master Sect, my Daoist name is 'Lingqing'."

A sprightly old man personally led tens of thousands of his disciples to receive Lu Changsheng at the mountain gate.

Great Perfection Immortal Emperor?!

Lu Changsheng was secretly surprised.

The Heavenly Master Sect really gave him face, sending Great Perfection Immortal Emperor and tens of thousands of disciples to greet him, a spectacle almost comparable to Lin Xuantong's personal visit.

Even the Daoist Lingqing had cultivated for nine million years, was respectful.

It's true that his cultivation level is higher than Lu Changsheng's, but Lu Changsheng's talent is higher.

If we don't befriend Lu Changsheng when he's weak, are we going to wait until Lu Changsheng reaches the God King Realm before doing so?

At that time, even Lu Changsheng might not respect a Great Perfection Immortal Emperor.

The tens of thousands of the Heavenly Master Sect disciples who came to greet him all looked at Lu Changsheng with admiration and worship, and the female disciples were filled with fantasies.

Lu Changsheng ranked First on the Qilin Ranking. He was handsome, elegant, and possessed profound Daoist skills, making him undoubtedly the ideal lover.

"Forget about it. His dao companion is Xia Ningxue, the Moon Palace Saintess. She has just defeated several powerful opponents and is now ranked tenth on the Qilin Ranking. She is very likely to take over Moon Palace in the future."

"What a perfect couple!"

The female disciples of the Heavenly Master Sect were even more envious.

One is the Taihua Saint, and the other is the Moon Palace Saintess. Moreover, they are highly likely to rule over the two Holy Lands, so their influence in the Immortal Realm will be unprecedented.

Among the many Holy Land, Taihua Mountain and Moon Palace have only moderate depth, but when the two Holy Land join forces, their strength is equivalent to that of the top-ranked Holy Land.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Elder Lingqing."

Seeing that the other party was so polite, Lu Changsheng returned the courtesy in kind.

"What are you saying? Young Friend Lu's arrival at our Celestial Heavenly Master Sect is a perfect opportunity to inspire our disciples to cultivate diligently. We couldn't be happier. Our most outstanding disciple is Shen Xiaoyao, the youngest disciple taken in by our Heavenly Master Sect Master, who is now ranked sixty-fifth on the Qilin Ranking. Apart from Shen Xiaoyao, none of our disciples of this generation have even made it into the top five hundred of the Qilin Ranking. It's truly shameful."

Elder Lingqing sighed.

The young disciples accompanying Elder Lingqing all looked ashamed.

It's not that they don't work hard, but rather that their natural talents are simply limited.

The Qilin Ranking lists the Peerless Genius from various Holy Lands, Sects, dynasties, and High Antiquity Cultivation Aristocratic Clan. The Heavenly Master Sect is only a relatively powerful Sects, not as powerful as the Holy Lands, so it is normal that no one from it is on the list.

They felt ashamed of themselves in front of Lu Changsheng, who ranked First on the Qilin Ranking.

Shen Xiaoyao, possessing Pure Yang Body, was accepted as Personal Disciple by True Lord Qingxu, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Master Sect. In addition, Shen Xiaoyao was Child of Destiny, often encountering fortuitous events, so his cultivation did not fall too far behind. He successfully entered the top 100 of the Qilin Ranking, bringing honor to the Heavenly Master Sect.

Given how much the Heavenly Master Sect values Shen Xiaoyao, it seems unlikely they will take Shen Xiaoyao away before he regains his memories.

The Heavenly Master Sect Master True Lord Qingxu, is God King Realm powerhouse, and a prominent figure of the same era as Lu Changsheng's master, Lin Xuantong.

Back then, the Sect Master the Purple Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain ranked first on the Qilin Ranking First on the Qilin Ranking, Lin Xuantong second, Immortal Changliu third, and True Lord Qingxu seventh.

Following this line of reasoning, even if True Lord Qingxu's cultivation level is not as high as Lin Xuantong's, it is not far behind.

The Heavenly Master Sect once produced Peerless Genius like True Lord Qingxu, which is why they are heartbroken that no one from the Heavenly Master Sect has made the list today, and Shen Xiaoyao is their last hope.

It's unlikely that True Lord Qingxu will release him so easily; he might even be grooming Shen Xiaoyao as the next Sect Master of the Heavenly Master Sect.

If the Child of Destiny becomes the Sect Master, how could the sect not prosper?

"Young Friend Lu, please come in."

Daoist Lingqing led Lu Changsheng to the main hall of the Heavenly Master Sect.

In the main seat of the hall sat an elderly man with white hair and beard, thin build, full Heavenly Court, and deep aura.

True Lord Qingxu, a genuine God King Realm powerhouse, is the pillar of the Heavenly Master Sect.

Although there is only one realm separating the God King Realm and the Immortal Emperor Ninth Stage, the difference is like heaven and earth.

Of the ten Great Perfection Immortal Emperors, less than one can become God King Realm.

The reason why major Holy Lands and Sects attach great importance to the Qilin Ranking is that the higher the ranking of the Peerless Genius on the Qilin Ranking, the greater their chance of becoming a master of the God King Realm.

Generally speaking, in any era, nine out of the top ten geniuses on the Qilin Ranking will successfully become experts at the God King Realm, while the other one may perish along the way.

The top 100 geniuses on the Qilin Ranking have a certain probability of becoming experts at the God King Realm.

The probability of a genius after the age of one hundred becoming a master of the God King Realm is extremely small.

The probability of a genius failing to enter the Qilin Ranking is even smaller; it's no exaggeration to describe it as a carp leaping over the dragon gate.

Of course, it's not that you can't become a God King Realm expert if you can't enter the Qilin Ranking. Some people accumulate knowledge and experience, achieve enlightenment one day, or have other fortuitous encounters, or even cultivate Devil Cultivation Method to find another way to become God King Realm expert later. However, the probability of that is extremely small.

Besides the True Lord Qingxu True Lord Qingxu the main seat, the thrones on either side of him were filled with the Grand Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Master Sect.

The Heavenly Master Sect is one of the top Immortal Gate in the Immortal Realm Sects, second only to the Holy Lands. It boasts numerous Immortal Emperors and is by no means weak.

However, these Grand Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Master Sect curiously scrutinized Lu Changsheng as he arrived.

Lu Changsheng felt like a protected rare animal being Ginseng...

This is not the fault of the Grand Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Master Sect.

After all, the First on the Qilin Ranking only appears once every few hundred thousand years, while every few hundred thousand years, hundreds of millions of Xiuzhenzhe emerge in the Immortal Realm.

One in a billion; the First on the Qilin Ranking is even rarer than rare animals.

Even the current Sect Master the Heavenly Master Sect, True Lord Qingxu, only ranked seventh on the Qilin Ranking at best.

"Young Friend Lu, please take a seat. I've met your master, Lin Xuantong, a few times. I thought his talent was already amazing enough, but I never expected him to take on a disciple with even more extraordinary talent. You've done a favor for our Heavenly Master Sect members this time, and our Heavenly Master Sect owes you one. I heard that you've captured the Chen brothers, Chen Long Chen Hu, alive?"

"Exactly."

"These two were once disciples of a Grand Supreme Elders of the Sword-Controlling Sect, but they were violent and cruel. Punished by their master, they poisoned and murdered him, along with their fellow disciples and their entire families. They have committed countless evil deeds. The Evil Extremity Sect specializes in recruiting Traitors from various Sects and some extremely vicious individuals; their ambitions are considerable. You'd better interrogate them; perhaps you can obtain some valuable information."

"That's exactly what I was thinking."

True Lord Qingxu, as expected of God King Realm powerhouse, also realized the extraordinary nature of the Evil Extremity Sect.

In recent years, the Evil Extremity Sect and the Blood Sea Hall have been unusually active, committing all sorts of evil deeds, and many Sects have taken notice of their existence.

Lu Changsheng mentioned Shen Xiaoyao to True Lord Qingxu.

True Lord Qingxu gradually revealed an expression of surprise.

It turns out that the Personal Disciple he recruited was once Lu Changsheng's Disciple.

"I intend to groom him as the next Sect Master the Heavenly Master Sect. I can provide him with the best Cultivation Resources. Perhaps it would be better to let him cultivate on Yellow Dragon Mountain first, and then we can discuss further once he regains his memories."

True Lord Qingxu was somewhat troubled.

Shen Xiaoyao is currently the most talented disciple in the Heavenly Master Sect, and also a person with Great Fortune. If Shen Xiaoyao were to return to the Changsheng Sect to cultivate, then the Heavenly Master Sect would have no successor.

Lu Changsheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it. If Shen Xiaoyao took over the Yellow Dragon Mountain Heavenly Master Sect in the future, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for Lu Changsheng.

"My disciple is quite lucky, but he has offended the Evil Extremity Sect. Your Heavenly Master Sect may not be able to protect him. If he is in trouble, he can come to Taihua Mountain to find me."

"Good."

True Lord Qingxu and Lu Changsheng quickly reached a compromise.

Shen Xiaoyao will cultivate at Yellow Dragon Mountain for the time being. If Yellow Dragon Mountain cannot protect Shen Xiaoyao, then Shen Xiaoyao will be sent to Taihua Mountain.

Although Shen Xiaoyao possessed extraordinary talent and was being groomed by True Lord Qingxu to be the next Sect Master, the Evil Extremity Sect, which Shen Xiaoyao had provoked, was not a force to be trifled with.

The Evil Extremity Sect has recruited Traitors from various Sects and Holy Lands, and its hidden power is probably even greater than that of the Heavenly Master Sect.

Taihua Sacred Ground is one of the many Holy Lands in the Immortal Realm. It can even protect Lu Changsheng, who has offended the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable Lu Changsheng. Protecting Shen Xiaoyao is no problem for him.

Lu Changsheng stayed at Yellow Dragon Mountain for a while, and seniors such as Daoist Lingqing came to discuss the Dao with Lu Changsheng. Lu Changsheng's understanding of the Great Dao actually inspired them.

Although Lu Changsheng's cultivation level was not as high as theirs, his Innate Dao Body allowed him to cultivate higher-level Cultivation Method ahead of time. Lu Changsheng also cultivated the Taihua Sacred Ground's Secret Art, "Purple Tenuity Heavenly Fire True Art" and "One Sword Across the Ages," as well as "Divine Void Step" and various Buddhist Sect and Demon Sects Divine Abilities. His understanding of the Great Dao was no less than that of Daoist Lingqing.

While teaching his disciples Cultivation Method, Lu Changsheng was also exposed to various other types of Cultivation Method, Lu Changsheng a profound understanding of the Great Dao through analogy.

Afterwards, Lu Changsheng planned to go to the Lianshan Holy Land to ask the Elders there to refine the "Nine-Turn Soul-Returning Pill" to help Shen Xiaoyao regain his memories.

In theory, the Apprentice-Teaching Simulator can also return the Nine-Turn Soul-Returning Pill, but you need to find the prerequisite Medicinal Pills and trigger the corresponding reward multiplier to obtain the Nine-Turn Soul-Returning Pill.

Instead of going through all that trouble, why not just ask the Elders of the Lianshan Holy Land to refine a Nine-Turn Soul-Returning Pill? That would save time and effort.

The Lianshan Holy Land is famous for its alchemy. When other Holy Lands lack rare Divine Pills, they will come to the Lianshan Holy Land and ask their Elders to refine Medicinal Pills.

Asking the Elders of the Lianshan Holy Land to help would be quite expensive, as they would need to consume corresponding heavenly materials and earthly treasures and use their valuable cultivation time to refine the Medicinal Pills.

However, Lu Changsheng was not lacking in heavenly materials and earthly treasures; as long as the price was right, someone would definitely be willing to refine the "Nine-Turn Soul-Returning Pill".

"Ling'er, do you want to stay here, or come back to Taihua Mountain with me to cultivate?"

Lu Changsheng asked Tang Ling’er for her opinion.

Tang Ling’er said with a hint of bitterness, "Brother Xiaoyao still doesn't remember. I can't stay here. I'll come back when he regains his memory."

"Alright."

Lu Changsheng sent Tang Ling’er back to Taihua Mountain to cultivate first, while he went to the Lianshan Holy Land alone.

The Lianshan Holy Land is located in the Western Region of the Immortal Realm. Traveling with Tang Ling’er would be too slow.

Lu Changsheng and Tang Ling’er left Yellow Dragon Mountain, while Shen Xiaoyao felt somewhat lost.

Elder Luo recounted in detail to True Lord Qingxu how Lu Changsheng suppressed the brothers Chen Long and Chen Hu, as well as the appearance of the Dao Artifact artifacts and Law Treasures used by Lu Changsheng.

"The Dao Artifact he used should be the 'Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda,' the Dao-Proving Law Treasure of the Dragon-Subduing God King from 120 million years ago. After the Dragon-Subduing God King disappeared, his whereabouts became unknown, and his Law Treasure also vanished without a trace. It seems that this young man found this Dao Artifact by chance. Judging from his Fortune, this young man is no less fortunate than Shen Xiaoyao."

True Lord Qingxu held Lu Changsheng in extremely high regard.

"Sect Master, do you think the Evil Extremity Sect might harbor resentment towards our Heavenly Master Sect and seek revenge because of the loss of Chen Long and Chen Hu?"

"That's not impossible. During this time, you should pay close attention. If anything happens, I will personally take action."

True Lord Qingxu is extremely wary of the Evil Extremity Sect, to the point that he needs to take action personally.

The Chen brothers, Chen Long Chen Hu, are not among the most powerful Demons in the Evil Extremity Sect.

Many Peerless Genius from various Holy Lands and Sects have betrayed their masters. If these Traitors join the Evil Extremity Sect and cultivate Devil Cultivation Method, their cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds, and their strength will be exceptionally terrifying.

"Yes."

The Heavenly Master Sect did not lower its guard as a result; instead, it tightened its defenses even further.

Lianshan Holy Land is located in the Heaven-Severing Mountain Range in the Western Region of the Immortal Realm and is one of the Holy Lands of the Immortal Realm.

The Heaven-Severing Mountain Range stretches for hundreds of millions of miles, rich in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and contains countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

The predecessor of Lianshan Holy Land was High Antiquity alchemy Sects. Alchemy requires a large amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and the existence of the Heaven-Severing Mountain Range provides Lianshan Holy Land with a continuous supply of alchemy materials.

"Who goes there?!"

When the disciples of the Lianshan Holy Land saw Lu Changsheng, dressed in a Primordial Chaos Daoist Robe, appear with a sword coming from the east, they immediately surrounded him.

"I would like to request the Pill Saint master of your Lianshan Holy Land to refine an Immortal Pill."

"You want to ask our Pill Saint for help? Do you even know who the Pill Saint is? Even the Sacred Lords of the major Holy Lands have to ask our Pill Saint for help, and the price for asking the Pill Saint for help is extremely high."

"Who are you? How dare you even dream of seeing our Holy Land's Pill Saint?"

The disciples of the Lianshan Holy Land couldn't help but laugh.

The Pill Saint is an extremely high honor bestowed upon Alchemists in the Immortal Realm, and there are only a handful of Pill Saint in the entire Lianshan Holy Land.

The highest-ranking Pill Saint can refine Twentieth-Grade Divine Pills. All the major Holy Lands seek the help of the Pill Saint of Lianshan Holy Land. For Lu Changsheng to come to Lianshan Holy Land alone and want to meet the Pill Saint directly is undoubtedly a pipe dream.

"I am Lu Changsheng from Taihua Mountain."

"You're Lu Changsheng?!"

"Lu Changsheng First on the Qilin Ranking?!"

The Lianshan Holy Land disciples, who had initially looked down on them, suddenly changed their expressions.

Other Saint would mostly be ignored by the Pill Saint, but Lu Changsheng was different.

Lu Changsheng is expected to succeed Lin Xuantong and take charge of Taihua Mountain in the future, so the Pill Saint might do him a favor.

The Lianshan disciple respectfully said, "Please wait a moment, we will go in and inform them."
