He Is the Taihua Saint! (4K)

In the Imperial City of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty, Confucian Sect disciples frequently arrive riding Immortal Swords and Spirit Brush, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Ziyang Academy was located on a mountain outside the Imperial City, and Confucian Sect disciples from all over the country were the first to settle in the Imperial City.

Although the proportion of Confucian cultivators in the Immortal Realm not large, the sheer number of Confucian cultivators gathered in the Imperial City the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty is quite frightening.

Throughout the Imperial City, countless Confucian Scholars came and went, exuding Righteous Qi.

The Xiuzhenzhe and mortals in the Imperial City were eager for these Confucian scholars to arrive, so they could fleece them handsomely.

The High Antiquity Qian Clan made a fortune in the Money House, Pawnshops, Auction Houses, and inns of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty's Imperial City.

The largest inn in the Imperial City, "Eternal Prosperity Inn," was packed with people.

Despite a sudden tenfold price increase, the inn remained bustling with customers.

It should be noted that those attending this Confucian Sect Assembly are all renowned Confucian Sect from various parts of the Immortal Realm; which Great Confucian doesn't have some substantial background?

The Great Confucian of the Immortal Realm are different from those of Blue Star.

On Blue Star, Great Confucian can live a life of integrity and poverty, while in the Immortal Realm Great Confucian, without Cultivation Resources, it is difficult to improve their cultivation level, let alone become a saint.

Therefore, any Great Confucian, if not incredibly wealthy, would at least be extremely rich.

The mastermind behind Eternal Prosperity Inn is the High Antiquity Qian Clan, a first-class Cultivation Aristocratic Clan High Antiquity Qian Clan. They can set prices arbitrarily, and no Confucian Scholar dares to object.

"Manager, Tianming Academy has booked all the Heaven-Grade rooms."

A group of elegant Confucian Scholars arrived and immediately booked all the Heaven-Grade rooms, attracting the attention of many.

Under the direction of the High Antiquity Qian Clan, the price of ordinary rooms at Eternal Prosperity Inn increased tenfold, while the price of the top- Heaven-Grade rooms increased a hundredfold.

As a result, the Confucian Scholars of this Academy booked out all the Heaven-Grade rooms in one go!

"What is the background of the Tianming Academy? Aren't they being far too generous?"

"You don't know about the Tianming Academy? It's one of the Nine Great Confucian Sects! And in recent years, Tianming Academy has been showing signs of becoming the leader among the Nine Great Confucian Sects."

"What? The Nine Great Confucian Sects?"

"Hiss..."

Many of the Rogue Cultivators present were taken aback.

The Nine Great Confucian Sects are Holy Land of the Confucian Sect in the Immortal Realm, and are also capable of rivaling the Daoist Holy Land.

Not all Confucian scholars are qualified to join the Nine Great Confucian Sects. Only geniuses with sufficient talent in Confucian Dao can join the Nine Great Confucian Sects.

The Nine Great Confucian Sects were not only blessed with outstanding people and beautiful lands, but also possessed abundant financial resources, which enabled them to support such large Sects.

The innkeeper of Eternal Prosperity Inn was an Immortal Emperor, whose strength was already considerable. However, upon hearing that they were from the Tianming Academy, he immediately rubbed his hands together and greeted them with a smile, "So you are distinguished guests from the Tianming Academy. Please come in."

The leader of the Tianming Academy delegation was a Great Confucian with graying temples, and the group included many handsome and talented young men.

As the leading institution among the Nine Great Confucian Sects, Tianming Academy naturally boasts many talented disciples.

A Tianming Academy Disciple asked, "Manager, is there a problem with the Tianming Academy's requirements?"

"This... let me see." The innkeeper gestured, and an account book came into his hands. "Hmm... five hundred years ago, the Taihua Sacred Ground's Sacred Son reserved three hundred and sixty Heaven-Grade rooms at fifty times the price. Adding to the other rooms that were already rented, there are only two hundred and forty Heaven-Grade rooms left."

Wow.

The Confucian Scholars who were watching immediately erupted in an uproar.

The Taihua Saint actually booked the Heaven-Grade room for this period of time five hundred years ago, and only paid fifty times the price!

It's worth noting that the price of Heaven-Grade room has increased a hundredfold, while the price of Taihua Saint is only half of the current price.

Is the Taihua Saint a prophet or Saint?

The expressions on the faces of the students from the Tianming Academy were not pleasant.

Their Tianming Academy originally intended to book all the Heaven-Grade rooms to demonstrate its strength and establish unparalleled prestige in the Tianming Academy cultivation world. However, the Taihua Saint booked all 360 Heaven-Grade rooms in this inn five hundred years in advance.

Compared to this, Tianming Academy was immediately outclassed.

"What is the Taihua Saint doing at the Confucian Sect Assembly, a mere Daoist cultivator?"

The great Great Confucian of the Tianming Academy were completely baffled.

The Taihua Saint would not have booked hundreds of Heaven-Grade rooms for no reason; he was most likely there for the Confucian Sect Assembly.

However, they had no way of knowing what the Taihua Saint's purpose was.

"The Taihua Saint is truly incredibly wealthy; he actually booked 360 Heaven-Grade rooms in one go."

"It seems that the Taihua Saint brought quite a few followers."

The Great Confucian and their disciples at the Tianming Academy whispered among themselves.

The room they wanted was booked by the Taihua Saint of Taihua, who beat them to it, and they didn't complain.

The strength of the Taihua Sacred Ground should not be underestimated.

Generally speaking, the Nine Great Confucian Sects and the Daoist Holy Land do not interfere with each other and do not easily clash.

The fact that the Heaven-Grade rooms were snapped up first isn't a big problem.

The Great Confucian streaked with gray, calmly said, "We, the Tianming Academy, will take the remaining two hundred and forty 'Heaven-Grade rooms. We also need eight hundred' Earth-Grade rooms."

"Okay."

The shopkeeper rubbed his hands together excitedly.

As expected of the Tianming Academy, which prides itself on being the head of the Nine Great Confucian Sects, it ordered a thousand guest rooms in one go.

"Is your Tianming Academy still short of students?"

"I possess decent qualities and hope your esteemed Academy will accept me."

"I lost both my parents at a young age and have been studying diligently by the light of a hole in the wall. I hope your Sages institution will take pity on me and take me in."

Seeing the wealth and resources of the Tianming Academy, many Rogue Cultivators Tianming Academy to join it.

However, the Tianming Academy ignored these Rogue Cultivators.

Only the most talented of the most talented can truly gain the attention of the Tianming Academy.

"Master, does this inn still have any Heaven-Grade rooms available?"

A sweet and clear voice rang out.

Everyone looked toward the source of the sound.

The speaker was a woman dressed in Crimson Immortal Skirt. She had tied her long, beautiful hair up with a ribbon, and her ponytail reached her waist, making her look capable and dashing.

The woman referred to her master as exceptionally handsome and Immortal Bearing.

Besides the master and apprentice, there were more than ten other people in the group, all of them handsome men and beautiful women, each carrying Long Sword on their back.

There was also a Big Yellow Dog that wagged its tail and occasionally rolled its eyes at Xiuzhenzhe blocked its way.

A disciple from the Tianming Academy interjected, "Young ladies, you're a step too late. The remaining Heaven-Grade rooms have all been reserved by the Tianming Academy."

"Tianming Academy?"

The group of people were all surprised when they heard that they were from the Tianming Academy.

The Great Confucian and their disciples at the Tianming Academy were quite proud.

Ordinary Rogue Cultivators and Sects would feel a deep sense of awe upon hearing the name of the Tianming Academy.

The woman in the Crimson Immortal Skirt immediately became interested. "So you're from the Tianming Academy, one of the Nine Great Confucian Sects? My master told me you're not bad, and that I shouldn't beat you up."

Everyone at the Tianming Academy turned to look at the woman's master.

What does "okay" mean?

Their Tianming Academy is the head of the Nine Great Confucian Sects, producing countless great Great Confucian Saint. How can they be considered "just okay"? And why did they tell his Disciples not to beat them up?

Is this something a human being would say?

"Ahem..." The man with the Immortal Bearing was a little embarrassed. "My disciple is naturally restless and might hurt any of your Academy's disciples, so I instructed her not to act recklessly. I hope you Great Confucian will forgive me."

A Great Confucian from the Tianming Academy couldn't stand it any longer. "Fellow Daoist, you underestimate the Tianming Academy. How could we be injured by a mere girl? May I ask your background, fellow Daoist?"

"I am..."

"Since you've come from afar, please give me some face and let's value harmony."

The innkeeper, a master of social etiquette, feared a conflict between the two parties and thus stepped in to mediate.

The Eternal Prosperity Inn is backed by the High Antiquity Qian Clan, Tianming Academy must give the High Antiquity Qian Clan some face.

"Forget it, there's no need to bother with a few irrelevant people."

"How dare the light of a firefly compete with the brilliance of the moon?"

"Our Tianming Academy is a major sect; we must be mindful of our image."

"I'll let you go this time."

Several Great Confucian from the Tianming Academy were furious, but they held back.

Their Tianming Academy is, after all, the head of the Nine Great Confucian Sects; there's no need for them to bother with a few Rogue Cultivators, lest they become a laughingstock.

The innkeeper secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to the other group of guests, "Our Eternal Prosperity Inn still has 'Earth-Grade' and 'Human-Grade' rooms left. Which type of room would you gentlemen prefer?"

"Um, I've booked the Heaven-Grade room."

The Daoist took out a receipt bearing the seal of Eternal Prosperity Inn.

The innkeeper took the receipt, his eyes widening in astonishment, his mouth agape. "You... you are the Taihua Saint?"

"Whoosh."

"He is the Taihua Saint?!"

"The Taihua Saint of Taihua, who reserved 360 Heaven-Grade rooms 500 years in advance?"

"I heard he defeated the Heavenly Emperor's Son at the Heavenly Court Assembly, and is now the number one genius in the Immortal Realm!"

The crowd erupted in cheers.

Lu Changsheng gained fame at the Heavenly Court Assembly, and through word of mouth from various Holy Lands, he is now renowned throughout the Immortal Realm. Ziyang Academy gives him face and invites him to participate in the Confucian Sect Assembly.

Today, everyone knows the name Lu Changsheng.

No one expected that the renowned Taihua Saint Lu Changsheng was right in front of them!

The students of the Tianming Academy were also greatly shocked.

The person they clashed with was none other than the Taihua Saint!

No wonder they weren't afraid of offending the Tianming Academy.

The Taihua Sacred Ground was not afraid of the Nine Great Confucian Sects, especially since Lu Changsheng had just defeated the Heavenly Emperor's Son and was expected to become Great Expert in the Daoist Sect!

Such an entity does not need to be subservient to the Nine Great Confucian Sects.

The Great Confucian who had just been criticizing Lu Changsheng were now blushing with embarrassment.

Their cultivation levels are truly inferior to Lu Changsheng's.

He might not even be as good as Lu Changsheng's Disciple.

Lu Changsheng's instruction to his Disciple not to beat up the disciples of the Tianming Academy was not necessarily out of disrespect for the Tianming Academy, but could very well be out of genuine concern.

"I am Qian Duoduo, the head of the Imperial City branch of the Immortal Dynasty of the Ancient Qian Family. I have long heard the elders of the clan speak highly of you. Seeing is believing, and I recently met the Holy Son. Indeed, the Holy Son is dashing and handsome, truly the best in the world."

The innkeeper showed even more enthusiasm than before when dealing with the Tianming Academy, and his admiration for Lu Changsheng was like a surging river.

While Tianming Academy is indeed one of the Nine Great Confucian Sects, the High Antiquity Qian Clan, to which Qian Duoduo belongs, has businesses throughout the entire Immortal Realm and its strength is no less than that of the Nine Great Confucian Sects. Therefore, although Tianming Academy should be respected, it is not to the point of currying favor with it.

Lu Changsheng is even more legendary than the Tianming Academy.

Who is the Heavenly Emperor's Son?

The son of the strongest being in the Immortal Realm!

With extraordinary talent, he is hailed as the number one genius in the One Hundred Thousand Divine Palaces!

As a result, he was defeated by Lu Changsheng, the Taihua Saint Son of Taihua!

Such a legendary figure was praised even by the head of the High Antiquity Qian Clan, let alone the Hall Master of a Branch Hall of the High Antiquity Qian Clan?

"But why did you book 360 Heaven-Grade rooms with such a small group?"

"Our men are still behind us."

As soon as Lu Changsheng finished speaking, the Elders and disciples of the Taihua Sacred Ground entered the Eternal Prosperity Inn in a grand procession, and the Rogue Cultivators who were watching the drama unfold made way for them.

The profound cultural heritage of Taihua Sacred Ground is no less than that of the Nine Great Confucian Sects, making it one of the Daoist Holy Land.

When the Taihua Saint Imperishable Immortal Dynasty, he naturally brings along a large number of Elders and disciples to maintain the dignity of the Holy Land.

"I am Zhuo Xiangren from the Tianming Academy. If any of our unworthy Academy have offended you just now, please forgive me."

The elder leading the Tianming Academy took the initiative to apologize to Lu Changsheng.

It's alright.

Lu Changsheng didn't want to make another enemy; it would be best if both sides kept to themselves.

Lu Changsheng had an impression of this Great Confucian named Zhuo Xiangren.

Zhuo Xiangren, ranked 357th on the God King Ranking, Great Perfection God King, proficient in the Righteous Qi Art, and is a major figure in the Immortal Realm.

"Is he the greatest genius in the world who defeated the Imperial Son?"

In the group from the Tianming Academy, a dashing man with Jade Pendant at his waist looked at Lu Changsheng with a challenging gaze.

He was the first genius born in the Tianming Academy in a million years, and the dean praised him as having the appearance of Saint.

However, compared to the number one genius in the world, he, the number one genius of the Tianming Academy, paled in comparison.

Lu Changsheng didn't even notice him, because he was only at the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Lu Changsheng had met geniuses such as the Imperial Son Ku of the Eight Divine Palaces, Yuexi, Chu Wuqing, and Dantai Meng, the Daughter of the Illusory Nether Demon Venerable. He had extremely high standards and naturally wouldn't care about someone whose cultivation level was lower than his own.

Upon learning of Lu Changsheng's identity, Zhuo Xiangren wanted to befriend Lu Changsheng, so he forcibly pulled Lu Changsheng aside for a chat.

Zhuo Xiangren was, after all, a powerful figure on the God King Ranking, so Lu Changsheng gave him some face and didn't turn around and leave.

Lu Changsheng learned from Zhuo Xiangren that during the Confucian Sect Assembly, the Nine Great Confucian Sects would send their most outstanding disciples from the past million years to spar and secretly compete.

Although Tianming Academy is known as the head of the Nine Great Confucian Sects, in reality, the Nine Great Confucian Sects are evenly matched in terms of power and prestige. Therefore, at every Confucian Sect Assembly, each Confucian Sect wants to gain the upper hand over the other.

Therefore, sparring among disciples becomes extremely important.

In that case, wouldn't it be possible for Mo Huazhi to represent Ziyang Academy in the competition?

As Zhuo Xiangren spoke, he also discussed philosophy with Lu Changsheng responded in kind.

Zhuo Xiangren grew more and more impressed as he listened. He never expected that Lu Changsheng, a junior, would have such a profound understanding of the Great Dao.

He turned to the students of the Tianming Academy and said, "Ziming, Ziyan, Ziyun, and all of you, you must learn more from Fellow Daoist Lu from now on. Don't slack off! Look at him, so young yet he defeated the Imperial Son, and his understanding of the Great Dao is so profound. Meanwhile, you are still muddle-headed. Alas, it truly breaks my heart, breaks my heart..."

"..."

The disciples and even the Elders of the Tianming Academy exchanged bewildered glances. Lu Changsheng was the number one genius capable of defeating the Imperial Son; what merit did they possess to compare themselves to such a heaven-defying existence?
