Reward: Sword Dao Divine Fruit! (4K)
Su Yun saw Lu Changsheng meditating on the summit of Yuntai Peak, with nine divine Divine Swords of Emperor Weapon- level weaponry in front of him, ranging from Upper-Grade Emperor Armament to Low-Grade Emperor Weapons.
Lu Changsheng separated nine strands of True Qi and manipulated nine Emperor Weapons and immortal Immortal Swords to form an unparalleled killing formation.
The Qi Sea of Yuntai Peak surged, Sword Qi formed spontaneously, dark clouds covered the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a fierce aura spread outwards from the peak.
"What a formidable Sword Formation. If he were wielding nine peerless Divine Swords Emperor Weapon Dao Artifact, their power would be enough to destroy the heavens and the earth."
As the current head of the High Antiquity Su Family, Su Yun possessed the cultivation and insight of the God King Realm. She could tell that Lu Changsheng was cultivating a peerless Sword Formation.
Although her cultivation level was far higher than Lu Changsheng's, Su Yun did not dare to underestimate Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng is recognized in the Immortal Realm a prodigy among the younger generation, second only to Ku, the Heavenly Emperor's Son.
"Elder Sister, isn't my master amazing?"
Su Xiaoqi was quite proud to see her Elder Sister's surprise.
"Xiaoqi, your fellow disciples are all monstrous geniuses. You must start cultivating as soon as possible, or you'll fall behind. Fortunately, I'm living in seclusion on Yuntai Peak, so I can personally guide your cultivation. You possess the 'Void Body,' making you the most promising member of our Su Clan's younger generation. If you hadn't left the Lineage in a fit of pique, the Lineage elders would definitely have groomed you as their successor. I, your Elder Sister, won't let you slack off."
Su Yun decided to guide her younger sister Su Xiaoqi, in her cultivation during her seclusion.
"..."
Su Xiaoqi smiled wryly. With her Elder Sister supervising her, it seemed she could only focus on diligent cultivation for the foreseeable future.
The ancestors of the High Antiquity Su Family, the Calabash Brothers, were all trapped in a mysterious cave deep in the Void when they tried to save their grandfather. The High Antiquity Su Family could only rely on Su Yun and Su Xiaoqi's generation to try to rescue their ancestors.
With Su Yun and Su Xiaoqi's cultivation levels, they couldn't do it.
Su Yun spent 500,000 years seeking help from forces related to the Su Clan, but still couldn't rescue the ancestors.
"Elder Sister, how can we rescue our ancestors?"
"The place that imprisoned our ancestors is far too dangerous; even God King Realm would find it difficult to escape. Aside from the loyal bodyguards from our Su Clan who have shown them kindness, no one dares to risk entering that place. We can only proceed cautiously, taking it one step at a time. The worst-case scenario is that we won't be able to rescue our ancestors and will have to rely on our own strength to rebuild the Su Clan."
Su Yun sighed.
Hundreds of the Su Clan patriarchs were trapped deep in the Void, including many God King Realm powerhouse and even High Antiquity Great Expert. None of them could escape, and Su Yun was powerless to help them.
With the Su Clan Ancestors trapped, Su Yun's prestige was insufficient to mobilize resources related to the Su Clan, making the hope of rescuing the patriarchs even more remote.
With Su Yun's guidance, Su Xiaoqi's cultivation speed has made significant progress.
Su Xiaoqi's Special Physique, the "Void Body," is Special Physique of the High Antiquity Su Family. Even though Lu Changsheng is her master, he doesn't know how to discover the special features of the Void Body.
But Su Yun can.
"The Divine-Level Fifth-Grade Sword Formation 'Eternal Ages Shared Sorrow' is divided into ten levels. I have only mastered the Third Layer, which allows me to wield nine Emperor Weapon- grade Long Sword. The Tenth Layer allows me to wield nine Dao Artifacts. Even ordinary God King Realm powerhouse would perish if they fell into this Sword Formation."
Lu Changsheng manipulated the Sword Formation according to the "Eternal Ages Shared Sorrow" Cultivation Method.
This divine-level Sword Formation is incredibly powerful; a single Sword Formation could even wipe out an entire Sects.
"Eternal Ages Shared Sorrow" is one of the Sect-Defending Cultivation Method of the High Antiquity super sword cultivator Sects "Heavenly Sect". Once cultivated to the highest level, one can control nine Dao Artifact Flying Swords and deal with a group of the God King Realm experts by oneself.
Lu Changsheng comprehended the Third Layer "Eternal Ages Shared Sorrow" and then Body Tempering to cultivate "Eternal Ages Immortality Art".
The "Eternal Ages Immortality Art" is also divided into ten levels. Each level of Body Tempering requires consuming countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, enduring excruciating pain, and even the possibility of death.
The higher you go, the greater the chance of falling.
Practicing the "Eternal Ages Immortality Art" is going against the will of Heaven.
Once one reaches the pinnacle of cultivation, the physical body becomes immortal.
Just like the female sword immortal that Xu Jing dug out of the Sword Tomb, even though her Three Souls and Seven Spirits have been erased, her physical body still exists.
If the spirit can also be immortal, then one can Changsheng Never Dies.
Lu Changsheng cultivated the Third Layer the "Eternal Ages Immortality Art," using rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures such as Qilin Blood, Phoenix Fruit, and Primordial Purple Ginseng King as body -Body Tempering materials to temper his physical body.
The body is torn apart by the medicinal power, then constantly reborn, undergoing a complete transformation.
Lu Changsheng's forehead veins bulged, as he endured immense suffering.
This Cultivation Method is truly wicked; to achieve immortality, one must risk death.
It took Lu Changsheng three months to emerge from the Body-Tempering Pool.
When Lu Changsheng mastered the Third Layer the "Eternal Ages Immortality Art," his physique glowed with a faint golden light, and his physical strength was comparable to that of Ninth-Grade Dao Artifact.
Even if Lu Changsheng were to be hit head-on by Ninth-Grade Dao Artifact, he would not die.
According to the "Eternal Ages Immortality Art," upon mastering the Third Layer, one's physical strength is equivalent to a ninth -Ninth-Grade Dao Artifact. Mastering the Fourth Layer yields Eighth-Grade Dao Artifact. And so on, with the Tenth Layer, the physical strength is comparable to Second-Rank Dao Artifact, second only to First-Rank Dao Artifact. However, cultivating the Tenth Layer is extremely dangerous, with a nine-out-of-ten chance of death.
Lu Changsheng felt the power of the "Eternal Ages Immortality Art".
The Tenth Layer the "Eternal Ages Immortality Art" allows one to withstand Second-Rank Dao Artifact with bare hands.
The "Eternal Ages Immortality Art," despite being a divine-level Body Tempering Method, is only rated as Sixth-Grade divine Cultivation Method. The fundamental reason for this is not because the Cultivation Method is weak, but rather because it is so heaven-defying Cultivation Method cultivators face a near-death experience, hence its only Sixth-Grade.
Lu Changsheng has mastered the Third Layer, but the Fourth Layer is beyond Lu Changsheng current cultivation level; otherwise, he would most likely perish.
[Ding! Your sixth Disciple, Chen Yao, has advanced from the Quasi-Emperor Realm to the Immortal Emperor Realm. You have received a reward for your Disciple's advancement: Sword Dao Divine Fruit.]
Suddenly, the system notified Lu Changsheng that he had obtained a divine fruit.
Sword Dao Divine Fruit?!
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath.
This is a grade Twentieth-Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, growing in the Primordial Chaos, containing fragments of Sword Dao. For sword cultivators, it is an invaluable treasure!
Just by consuming one, one can greatly enhance their understanding of the Great Dao.
Lu Changsheng's Inner World now contains a new crimson fruit, somewhat resembling a snake fruit from Blue Star.
This fruit, no bigger than a fist, can turn Sword Dao idiot into Sword Dao genius.
Sword Dao prodigies who consume the Sword Dao Divine Fruit can immediately enhance their Sword Dao Comprehension.
At this point, the day when the disciple would be rewarded with Twentieth-Grade treasure seemed far off.
Lu Changsheng decided to use the divine fruit himself.
Lu Changsheng took out the Sword Dao Divine Fruit from within his Inner World, took a bite, and found it to be sweet.
Boom!
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng's Sea of Consciousness seemed to explode, and he immediately entered a state of enlightenment.
Lu Changsheng's understanding of Sword Dao progressed by leaps and bounds, advancing by a thousand miles a day.
Lu Changsheng fully understood the entire content of the Third Sword Realm "One Sword Across the Ages".
In Qianyuan Grotto-Heaven, Lu Changsheng once used the Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill, which temporarily raised his cultivation level to the Sixth-Grade God King. Under those conditions, Lu Changsheng's understanding of the Great Dao reached a new level.
Now, having consumed the Sword Dao Divine Fruit, Lu Changsheng's understanding of Sword Dao has become even more profound.
Lu Changsheng not only fully mastered the Third Sword Realm, but also attempted to comprehend the Fourth Sword Realm with the help of the Sword Dao Divine Fruit.
The Third Sword Realm can sever Fortune.
The Fourth Sword Realm: severing Cause and Effect.
The difficulty of the Fourth Sword Realm is a hundred times that of the Third Sword Realm.
Under normal circumstances, only Great Perfection Immortal Emperor could possibly begin to grasp the basics.
It has to be Sword Dao genius at the Great Perfection Immortal Emperor realm.
Only a genius of Lin Xuantong's caliber could master the Fourth Sword Realm.
The Fifth Sword Realm is even more difficult.
Lin Xuantong had to be injured in order to barely use the rudiments of the Fifth Sword Realm.
"The mind moves with thought, the sword is inspired by its own energy; when mind and energy are in harmony, man and sword become one..."
Lu Changsheng softly recited the Mnemonic for the fourth Fourth Sword Realm, attempting to leapfrog and comprehend it.
"He actually understood it!"
With the help of the Sword Dao Divine Fruit, Lu Changsheng actually comprehended part of the Mnemonic for the first part of the Fourth Sword Realm.
Lu Changsheng was overjoyed and used the enlightenment state brought about by the Sword Dao Divine Fruit to comprehend as much as possible about the Fourth Sword Realm.
The Mnemonic for the Fourth Sword Realm contains 12,000 characters, divided into eight chapters. Lu Changsheng comprehended the third chapter before the enlightenment state brought about by the Sword Dao Divine Fruit disappeared.
Lu Changsheng was somewhat disappointed.
If Lu Changsheng had ten or eight Sword Dao Divine Fruits, he would have a good chance of comprehending the eight Mnemonic of the Fourth Sword Realm and fully mastering the Fourth Sword Realm at the Immortal Emperor Fifth Stage.
Unfortunately, the Sword Dao Divine Fruit was a treasure rewarded by the system when disciple Chen Yao broke through a major realm. Lu Changsheng doesn't know what treasure the system will reward its disciple with before returning the Sword Dao Divine Fruit.
In the Heavenly Court and the Profound Maiden Palace, amidst flashes of lightning and thunder, the Great Dao Golden Thunder vanished, and Chen Yao, clad in a green robe, successfully Tribulation Transcendence, stepping into the Immortal Emperor Realm.
She slid the azure Immortal Sword in her hand into the scabbard at her waist, her eyes filled with a dreamy look.
During her Tribulation Transcendence, she saw that figure deep within her heart once again.
Even after many years, she still couldn't forget that person.
"Junior brother..."
Chen Yao stood tall and graceful, with an extraordinary and refined air, yet she was longing for her deceased loved one.
At the place where Chen Yao Tribulation Transcendence, twelve stunningly beautiful women carrying Immortal Swords stood atop twelve mountain peaks, Guardian Chen Yao.
The Twelve Sword Maidens, twelve peerless experts from the Profound Maiden Palace, secretly communicated through telepathy.
"This woman is the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, hence she possesses the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden Physique. The upper limit of the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden Physique is limitless."
"If this woman can become the princess consort of the Imperial Son, our Xuan Nu Palace will rank first among Heavenly Court 365 palaces of the Profound Maiden Palace."
"The matter was almost settled with the Imperial Son, but recently the situation has changed, and it seems that the Imperial Son has other candidates for his consort."
"Could it be that the other party has even higher aptitude than the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden? The Nine Heavens Profound Maiden Physique is the highest-level Special Physique in our Profound Maiden Palace, second only to the Supreme Emperor Body of the Heavenly Emperor. How can there be such a genius in the world?"
"Mengchen, have you found out who the Imperial Son Prince's chosen consort is?"
"She seems to be Saintess from the Moon Palace."
"How can a Saintess from the Moon Palace compare to our reincarnated Mystic Maiden?"
"This Moon Palace Saintess seems to be somewhat special. She possesses a mysterious power that allows her to raise her cultivation level from the Immortal Emperor Realm to the God King Realm. She joined forces with the Taihua Saint Son of Taihua to kill the Devil Lord Wuchang."
"What?"
The other eleven Sword Maiden were all astonished.
The leading Sword Maiden nodded. "Such extraordinary talent, no wonder it attracted the attention of the Imperial Son. Imperial Son Ku is expected to rule the Heavenly Court in the future, so the Queen Consort must be Changsheng Never Dies being, the higher the talent, the better."
One of the Sword Maidens asked, "Palace Master, if none of our Profound Maiden Palace members can become the Imperial Son's consorts, wouldn't our Profound Maiden Palace be missing out on a golden opportunity?"
"If Imperial Son Ku were to take control of the Heavenly Court, given his status, countless Immortal Realm Immortal Maidens would flock to him, and he might take more than one concubine. Our Profound Maiden Palace still has a chance."
After speaking, the Palace Master of the Profound Maiden Palace looked at Chen Yao.
As long as Chen Yao marries the Imperial Son, the status of the Profound Maiden Palace will also rise accordingly.
The Profound Maiden Palace was once a transcendent entity in the Heavenly Court.
The High Antiquity Great Expert, such as the Taihua Goddess and the Taiyin Goddess, all came from the Profound Maiden Palace.
However, after the two High Antiquity Wars ended, they chose to leave the Profound Maiden Palace and establish their own independent sect.
The status of the Profound Maiden Palace declined as these High Antiquity Great Expert left.
If the Profound Maiden Palace wants to regain its transcendent status from High Antiquity times, it needs to befriend the future Imperial Son is expected to rule the Heavenly Court.
The relationships between the various powers in the Immortal Realm are not simple.
Wherever there are people, there will be a world of martial arts and intrigue, and the Immortal Realm is no exception.
At Yuntai Peak of Mount Taihua, Lu Changsheng was unaware of what had happened at the Xuan Nu Palace and was quietly improving his strength.
A single Sword Dao Divine Fruit allowed Lu Changsheng to fully master the Third Sword Realm and grasp three-eighths of the Mnemonic for the Fourth Sword Realm.
Taking advantage of this enlightenment, Lu Changsheng went into seclusion to formally attempt to break through to the Immortal Emperor Sixth Stage.
Meanwhile, Xu Jing, the twelfth disciple, received the Dao Artifact "Fourth Realm Robe" as a reward from Lu Changsheng. He concealed his existence and went to places with dense Yin Qi, such as the Sword Tomb, to cultivate. In the meantime, he also helped the female sword immortal of the Heavenly Sect to reshape her Three Souls and Seven Spirits.
I can break through now.
The ninth Disciple, Dugu Aotian, became the fourth Personal Disciple under the Changsheng Sect to break through to the next level.
Dugu Aotian's father was the Demon Marshal who ruled the Demon Realm, and his mother was the former Saintess of Yaochi Holy Land. In terms of background, he was not much worse than Imperial Son Ku.
Dugu Aotian had extremely high aptitude and cultivated Devil Cultivation Method that required rapid progress, so he quickly reached the critical moment of Tribulation Transcendence.
Once he takes this step, he can become Immortal Emperor Realm.
Devil Cultivation Method are easy to master quickly, but when Tribulation Transcendence, one is more likely to be trapped by inner demons, leading to death from Qi Deviation.
However, Dugu Aotian possessed the Devil Ancestor Dao Body, so surviving the Heavenly Tribulation of the Immortal Emperor Realm was not a difficult task for him.
If one cannot even overcome the Heavenly Tribulation of the Immortal Emperor Realm, then one would be unworthy of the Devil Ancestor Dao Body, the number one physique in the Demonic Dao, capable of rivaling the Supreme Emperor Body.
In High Antiquity times, the Devil Master was the strongest demon in the Demonic Dao, daring to fight against the Heavenly Emperor.
Dugu Aotian arrived at the special Dao Field on Taihua Mountain, which was used for Tribulation Transcendence, and officially Tribulation Transcendence.
Master Lu Changsheng is in seclusion to break through his cultivation barrier, with his Senior Brother Lin Qingzhi and Second Senior Sister Lu Qinglian Guardian.
When Dugu Aotian Tribulation Transcendence, he also attracted the Great Dao Golden Thunder.
Dugu Aotian, wielding the High Antiquity Demon Soldier "Yuantu," his long black hair flowing, his Devil Qi surging, was like a demon descending upon the world, facing off against the Chaotic Divine Thunder and the Great Dao Golden Thunder...
[Ding! Your ninth Disciple, "Dugu Aotian," has advanced from the Quasi-Emperor Realm to the Immortal Emperor Realm. You have received a reward for your Disciple's advancement: Eighth-Grade Dao Artifact, "Purple Lightning Clear Frost."]
