Fame Shakes the Heavenly Court! (4K)
The people in the Mira Palace turned green with rage.
Their strongest genius from the Mira Palace was defeated, and as the number one divine Divine Palace in the Heavenly Court, the Mira Palace naturally lost face.
No one could have imagined that the strongest Imperial Son Ku of Heavenly Court, Ku, would lose.
Young Master Long's smile froze, his expression turning serious, even somewhat frightening.
"Can we announce the results now? Cough cough cough..."
Lu Changsheng was barely alive, and only managed to stay upright by using the immortal Immortal Sword, Purple Lightning Clear Frost, to support his body.
Imperial Son Ku is undoubtedly an unprecedented formidable opponent; the Supreme Emperor Body is not so easy to deal with.
Lu Changsheng had to exert all his strength to defeat Imperial Son Ku, and he himself was almost at the point of exhaustion.
But he cannot fall.
Once Lu Changsheng falls, it will be a draw.
Lu Changsheng used astonishing willpower to forcefully support his body, thus gaining a slight advantage over fate.
After being reminded by Lu Changsheng, the Golden-Armored Heavenly General announced the result, "In the final match, Lu Changsheng of Taihua Mountain has emerged victorious."
As soon as the Golden-Armored Heavenly General finished speaking, the crowd watching the battle erupted in cheers.
"Our representatives from the Lower Realm have won!"
They weren't dreaming; Lu Changsheng, who came from the Lower Realm, had indeed defeated the Heavenly Court's number one expert, the Heavenly Emperor's Son.
Seeing that the outcome was a foregone conclusion, Lu Changsheng smiled at Xia Ningxue and then collapsed onto the Martial Platform.
Although the final result was a lose-lose situation, Lu Changsheng still emerged victorious.
Xia Ningxue, Lu Qinglian, Li Changye, Lin Qinghan, Lin Xuantong, and others immediately came to the Martial Platform, fed Lu Changsheng Medicinal Pills, and then used their True Qi to help Lu Changsheng repair his meridians to avoid leaving any hidden dangers.
The Grand Supreme Elders of the Mira Palace also immediately appeared on the Martial Platform.
Imperial Son Ku's identity was special, and he was also the number one genius of the Mira Palace. The Grand Supreme Elders of the Mira Palace were afraid that something might happen to Imperial Son Ku, so they immediately used the most precious Medicinal Pills to help Imperial Son Ku his injuries.
The foundation of Imperial Son Ku's lineage cannot be compromised.
"The Dantian Qi Sea of Changsheng are much more vast than those of ordinary people; it's truly miraculous."
When Lin Xuantong his True Qi to help Lu Changsheng heal, he sensed that the Qi Sea of Lu Changsheng's Dantian was several times that of other Xiuzhenzhe at the same level.
The Household Ancestor Lin said, "This boy's ability to defeat the Imperial Son must be due to his unique talent."
Even the Jiang Clan Ancestor was impressed. "I never expected this little fellow could actually defeat the Imperial Son; his future achievements are limitless."
In stark contrast to the jubilation at the Taihua Sacred Ground, the Elders and disciples of the Mira Palace wore somber, deathly pale faces. Only after confirming that the Imperial Son was safe did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.
If anything were to happen to the Imperial Son, the Heavenly Emperor would be enraged, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Everyone looked at the Heavenly Emperor.
The Heavenly Emperor wanted to use the Heavenly Court Assembly as an opportunity to help his Imperial Son establish his authority.
As a result, the Imperial Son was defeated by the unexpectedly emerging Lu Changsheng. It is unknown whether the Heavenly Emperor will be furious.
The Heavenly Emperor coldly stated, "My son's skills are inferior; a loss is a loss. This Heavenly Court Assembly is merely a pastime; the most important task is to form an Immortal Realm alliance to deal with the Calamity."
"Yes."
The various Holy Land and Aristocratic Clan responded, all filled with joy.
Those of them Lower Realm the mortal realm defeated the geniuses of the Heavenly Court. In the future, when dealing with the Demon Realm, they will have a greater say in the allied forces formed by the Heavenly Court and the Lower Realm.
When Lu Changsheng woke up, he was already resting in the palace of the Taihua Sacred Ground.
Lu Changsheng immediately used his internal energy to examine the condition of his meridians.
"When I used the Fifth Sword Realm, my meridians were damaged, but now they are unharmed. It must be because someone used True Qi to help repair my meridians. There are still several different True Qi remaining in my body. In addition, my cultivation of the 'Eternal Ages Immortality Art' has also increased my endurance to some extent."
Lu Changsheng was somewhat moved.
After he collapsed, a group of people helped him repair his damaged body.
Through the remaining True Qi, Lu Changsheng knew that Xia Ningxue, Lin Xuantong, and others had all helped him.
"Lu Lang, you're awake?"
Xia Ningxue was meditating when she heard movement coming from Lu Changsheng's room, and immediately came over in surprise.
"Yes, I'm fine now."
"You can't do that next time. What will I do if something happens to you?"
Xia Ningxue's eyes were red, clearly she had been worried and fearful during this time.
"Fool, I know what I'm doing and won't act recklessly."
Lu Changsheng embraced Xia Ningxue and comforted her for a while before Xia Ningxue down.
When Lu Changsheng came out of the room, everyone from Taihua Sacred Ground was overjoyed.
"Changsheng, it seems you're alright."
"I never expected you could defeat the Imperial Son; it's practically a miracle."
"You little rascal, you've been hiding your true abilities from us old folks, giving us quite a scare."
The Jiang Clan Ancestor even put his arm around Lu Changsheng's shoulder, which stunned Lu Changsheng.
The Jiang Clan Ancestor had always disliked Lu Changsheng, but after Lu Changsheng brought glory to the Taihua Sacred Ground, the Jiang Clan Ancestor found Lu Changsheng pleasing to the eye from every angle.
"Changsheng, the Three Pure Ones Palace, Five Luminaries Palace, Cloud Tower Palace, and Northern Dipper Palace —all these Divine Palaces want to invite you to join them and have agreed to let you retain your status Taihua Saint. What do you think?"
Lin Xuantong gave Lu Changsheng the right to choose for himself.
Both the Household Ancestor Lin and Jiang Clan Ancestor were somewhat uneasy.
Lu Changsheng was, after all, Rogue Cultivator who joined the Taihua Sacred Ground from outside. If he were to be lured away by the Heavenly Court Divine Palace, which possesses more Cultivation Resources, Taihua Mountain would lose a Peerless Genius.
"This disciple may return to Taihua Mountain to cultivate."
Are you kidding me?
Lu Changsheng had just brutally beaten Imperial Son Ku. If he continued to stay in the Heavenly Court, he might face retribution later.
Lu Changsheng didn't believe that Imperial Son Ku would let him go.
In the Heavenly Court, as long as Imperial Son Ku gives the order, many people from the eight great Imperial Son Ku Eight Divine Palaces will be willing to stand up for him.
Returning to Taihua Mountain in the Lower Realm to cultivate would allow him to avoid the retaliation of Imperial Son Ku.
"Our Taihua Mountain, though not as powerful as the Eight Divine Palaces, is not inferior. Our High Antiquity Ancestor's strength should be comparable to one of the Twelve Sword Maidens of the Profound Maiden Palace. If you follow her in your cultivation, you still have enormous room for improvement."
Lin Xuantong secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lu Changsheng was willing to stay at Taihua Mountain.
Taihua Mountain is equivalent to one of the top 100 Divine Palaces in Heavenly Court, though not as prestigious as the Eight Divine Palaces. However, the legacy left by the Taihua Sword Maiden is comparable to that of palaces like Miaoyan Palace.
The Eight Divine Palaces are colossal entities, comparable only to the Purple Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain.
"The Heavenly Court Assembly has concluded. We will return to Taihua Mountain to focus on our cultivation and prepare to confront the Demon Realm."
Lin Xuantong led the team, preparing to leave the Heavenly Court.
People from other Holy Lands, Aristocratic Clan, and Immortal Dynasties also prepared to leave and return to their respective cave abode.
"Fellow Daoist Lu defeated the Imperial Son, displaying extraordinary talent and astonishing everyone. He is truly a figure to be admired."
"Would it be possible to get to know Fellow Daoist Lu? Perhaps we could even fight side by side in the future."
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you are welcome to come to our Ten Thousand Dragons Mountain to discuss the Dao when you have time."
Xiuzhenzhe from forces such as the Taichu Sacred Land, the Primordial Beginning Sacred Land, the Cloud Mountain Holy Land, and the High Antiquity Long Household all stepped forward to befriend Lu Changsheng when he appeared.
Lu Changsheng defeated Imperial Son Ku and was hailed as the number one genius in the Immortal Realm, with limitless potential.
Befriending Lu Changsheng at this time is equivalent to getting to know a Great Expert, Changsheng Never Dies being ahead of time.
Lu Changsheng simply gave a perfunctory response.
Ultimately, in the Immortal Realm, strength still reigns supreme.
The stronger you are, the more recognition you will receive.
Feng Mu, Helian Ba, and other defeated generals of Lu Changsheng had faces as red as Pig Liver.
The more successful and glamorous Lu Changsheng was, the more distressed they became.
The gap between them and Lu Changsheng filled them with despair.
The various Holy Land and Aristocratic Clan left the Heavenly Court through the Southern Heavenly Gate.
The One Hundred Thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals at the Southern Heavenly Gate stood in awe.
Many Peerless Genius have emerged in the Lower Realm, such as Lu Changsheng, Xia Ningxue, Chen Jinxia, Yan Zhiqiu, all of whom are comparable to the geniuses of the Eight Divine Palaces.
Lu Changsheng even defeated the Imperial Son, replacing Imperial Son as the number one genius in the Immortal Realm.
There is no dispute that Daoist Chongxu of the Purple Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain ranked Lu Changsheng first on the Immortal Emperor Ranking.
Yang Qing, the Golden-Armored Heavenly General Southern Heavenly Gate Guardian, secretly transmitted his voice. "Your performance was very good. I hope you don't perish halfway. Perhaps we'll have another chance to fight side by side in the future."
Lu Changsheng nodded.
Yang Qing must be one of the strongest among the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, which is why he was appointed by the Heavenly Court to Southern Heavenly Gate Guardian.
He gained Yang Qing's approval.
Lu Qinglian said to Lu Changsheng, "Master, some of these Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals are not as strong as you. Can they really guard the Heavenly Gate?"
The One Hundred Thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals at the Southern Heavenly Gate all turned their gazes toward the group from Taihua Mountain.
Lu Qinglian had no taboos and didn't use secret telepathy, so all One Hundred Thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals heard it and were speechless.
However, Lu Qinglian's statement was not entirely wrong; it was difficult for the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to act against them.
Lin Xuantong said, "If you think that way, you're sorely mistaken. One Hundred Thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals can form Peerless Fiendish Formation. With Great Expert like Senior Yang Qing guarding the core of the formation, even if the Demon Venerable himself came, he would have to flee in panic."
Lin Xuantong's words were very eloquent, One Hundred Thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals nodded in satisfaction.
"Lin Xuantong, after we return, we must properly instruct our disciples to prepare for the impending Calamity."
Before parting Immortal Changliu spoke with Lin Xuantong.
"If the Demon Realm wants to invade our Immortal Realm, with the Immortal Realm strength, surviving this Calamity might not be too difficult."
"For those Great Experts in the Immortal Realm, it's naturally not a difficult task, but for those of us who haven't yet entered the Immortality Realm, it's a matter of nine deaths and one life."
"That makes sense. In both High Antiquity Wars, ninety percent of Xiuzhenzhe perished in each one..."
Lu Changsheng paid some attention to the conversation between Lin Xuantong Immortal Changliu.
Lu Changsheng had already studied the two High Antiquity Wars multiple times from the ancient texts of the Taihua Sacred Ground.
The First High Antiquity War was set against the backdrop of the rise of Human Race Xiuzhenzhe, who were dissatisfied with the Demon Race occupying most of the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Lands and treating Human Race as food. Thus, led by a group of High Antiquity Great Expert, the Human Race Xiuzhenzhe fought back fiercely and engaged in a great war with the Demon Race, resulting in rivers of blood.
The High Antiquity Holy Land of Sword Dao, "Heavenly Sect," was ravaged by a bloodbath of demons, and the entire Sects was wiped out.
Ninety percent of the High Antiquity Great Expert perished in the earth-shattering war between Human Race and Demon Race.
However, in the First High Antiquity War, the Human Race Xiuzhenzhe ultimately won with great difficulty and made an agreement with the Demon Race's powerful warriors to take the Demon-Suppressing Pass as the boundary, and to keep to themselves. This is the origin of the Immortal Realm and the Yao Realm.
During this period, the Devil Master and many other Demon Venerables still belonged to the Human Race.
During the Second High Antiquity War, the Human Race Xiuzhenzhe, due to their differing paths, divided into good and evil. The Devil Master led billions of Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals to fight against the High Antiquity Heavenly Court. The Devil Master shattered the High Antiquity Heavenly Court with a single punch, and the High Antiquity Heavenly Court paid a heavy price, finally forcing the Devil Master and his Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals to retreat into the Demonic Fall.
However, after this great battle, some Great Expert in the High Antiquity Heavenly Court chose to leave the Heavenly Court for unknown reasons and establish Holy Lands in the Lower Realm. This pattern has continued to this day.
If this Calamity is on the same scale as the two previous High Antiquity Wars, then at least 90% of Xiuzhenzhe will perish.
"It seems I must hurry up and cultivate, otherwise, with my Immortal Emperor Realm cultivation, I'll just be cannon fodder in the face of such Calamity."
Lu Changsheng had read the relevant records; in the two High Antiquity Wars, the Immortal Emperor Realm and the Loose Immortal were like ants.
One after another God King Realm fell, and even the Great Expert could not escape this calamity.
Ideally, one should also train one's disciples to the God King Realm, so that they can play a role when the Calamity arrives.
Xia Ningxue and Lu Changsheng exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's concerns.
Even the Heavenly Court takes this Calamity seriously; they must be careful.
In the Mira Palace, in the Imperial Prince Hall, Imperial Son Ku also woke up.
Defeated by Lu Changsheng, Imperial Son Ku was filled with negative emotions such as anger and hatred, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
He was the number one genius of the Heavenly Court, destined to Suppress the Eternal Ages, yet he was defeated at the God King Realm by a junior at the Immortal Emperor Realm level. How can he possibly rule the Heavenly Court in the future?
If he were to ascend the throne and become the new Heavenly Emperor, and Lu Changsheng were to take control of the Taihua Sacred Ground, wouldn't the Taihua Sacred Ground then be above the Heavenly Court?
A servant said respectfully, "Your Highness, the group of people from the Lower Realm have already left."
Imperial Son Ku clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
He had never suffered such a humiliating disgrace.
"What I have lost, I will personally reclaim."
Imperial Son Ku's eyes were fierce, which startled even the servants.
They had never seen the Imperial Son show such a look in his eyes.
The Imperial Son, of such high status, had never suffered such a great loss before, and this time, it nearly caused his Imperial Son heart to collapse.
In the Lower Realm, at the Sword Tomb, billowing Yin Qi converged into the Ghost-Faced Banner. Xu Jing, carrying the body of the Heavenly Sect Female Sword Immortal, cultivated within the Yin-Gathering Grand Formation he had set up.
An invisible Divine Sense gradually formed within the body of the Heavenly Sect Female Sword Immortal.
Xu Jing himself was cultivating the Netherworld Realm Cultivation Method, constantly absorbing the Yin Qi of the Sword Tomb.
Suddenly, Xu Jing opened his eyes, his gaze filled with shock.
"How... how is this possible?"
Xu Jing discovered that the female sword immortal's body was actually absorbing the soul fragments scattered underground in the Sword Tomb. These broken souls gathered into the female sword immortal's body, and the originally weak soul rapidly grew stronger.
Xu Jing estimated that it would take a million years to help the female sword immortal of the Heavenly Sect restore her soul, but the sudden change caught him off guard.
"Just who is this person?"
Xu Jing looked at the Heavenly Sect Female Sword Immortal with surprise, whose aura was rising. Her identity seemed to be more complicated than he had imagined.
Lu Changsheng and Xu Jing deduced that this female sword immortal was just a Grand Supreme Elders of the High Antiquity Sword Dao Holy Land, Heavenly Sect. However, her true identity was uncertain because after the entire Heavenly Sect Sects was massacred, no one survived, and almost all of its classics and Cultivation Method were lost. Information about the Heavenly Sect only existed in the records of other Xiuzhenzhe of the same era.
