The Eldest Princess's Invitation! (4K)

"The second match is between Xia Zi'an from the White Deer Academy and Xiao Xin from the Menghua Academy."

The Confucian Sect Assembly continues, and two more Confucian Sect geniuses have taken to the stage to compete.

"Xia Zi'an of the White Deer Academy is said to be the Personal Disciple of the White-Faced Scholar. A great teacher produces a great student. The fact that he can represent White Deer Academy in the competition means he can't be weak."

"Xiao Xin of the Menghua Academy is no ordinary person either. Her master is Recluse Yi'an, Great Confucian of the Menghua Academy. It is said that this Recluse Yi'an was a talented woman from hundreds of millions of years ago, and was only one step away from becoming Saint."

Disciples from various Confucian Sect discussed it animatedly.

"These two have good potential."

Lu Changsheng discovered that there were many geniuses in the Confucian Sect.

The contest between the two Confucian Sect geniuses soon began, a competition of calligraphy.

A calligraphy scroll contains Great Dao insights into the great principles and Righteous Qi.

Xia Zi'an concentrated his Righteous Qi into the "Immortal Deer Calligraphy," and a Hundred Zhangs- Immortal Deer appeared before Xia Zi'an.

This Immortal Deer, formed from Righteous Qi, is like a divine spirit.

Xiao Xin wrote with great speed and efficiency, and the "Divine Maiden Calligraphy" was completed. The Righteous Qi formed a Divine Maiden, holding a three-hundred-foot Divine Sword.

My vision extends beyond this.

Xia Zi'an continued to write with flowing strokes, and the later chapters of the "Immortal Deer Calligraphy" gradually took shape.

The further I went, the more difficult it became; each character I wrote was extremely strenuous.

Xia Zi'an was drenched in sweat, which dripped onto the calligraphy scroll. Even with his cultivation at the Immortal Emperor Eighth Stage, it seemed difficult for him to master the "Immortal Deer Calligraphy".

"Become!"

With a turn of his pen, Xia Zi'an finished the last character. Centered on Xia Zi'an, all things grew, and the immortal vines spread wildly in all directions, even growing into Heaven trees.

Xiao Xin's expression changed; Xia Zi'an's calligraphy had already created a world of its own.

The projection of the Divine Maiden formed from her "Divine Maiden's Scroll" was bound by the fairy vines and gradually dimmed.

At that moment, the Immortal Deer charged forward, and the Divine Sword in the Divine Maiden's projection flew out, cleaving the Immortal Deer in two.

The Immortal Deer transformed into scattered Spiritual Qi, then reformed, its antlers colliding with the Divine Maiden 'Divine Maiden projection, causing the projection to completely disintegrate.

Xiao Xin took two or three steps back, and the Spirit Brush in her hand fell to the ground.

"The Nine Great Confucian Sects live up to their name; I have lost."

Xiao Xin picked up her Law Treasure and voluntarily admitted defeat.

"Bai Shuming, this disciple of yours is quite good; he can succeed you in the future."

Lord Nanhua of the Nanlu Academy offered his commentary.

The White-Faced Scholar nodded in satisfaction.

The Lord Nanhua was one of the Saint of the Nine Great Confucian Sects, with extremely seniority. The fact that his disciple Xia Zi'an was appreciated by him shows that he truly possessed the qualities of Saint.

Bai Shuming, White-Faced Scholar, was just one step away from becoming Great Expert, and his disciple was naturally no less capable.

The third group of the Confucian Sect disciples took the stage for the comparative test.

"This time we've made quite a haul."

Lu Changsheng witnessed many Confucian geniuses during his participation in the Confucian Sect Assembly.

The two Confucian Sect disciples who competed in the third group, although not from the Nine Great Confucian Sects, were quite talented.

"The system predicts that something bad will happen at the Confucian Sect Assembly. I wonder which force will try to disrupt it? Could it be the Heavenly Confucian Sect Assembly Tianming Academy? No, although the Tianming Academy has always considered itself the leader of the Nine Great Confucian Sects, they shouldn't have the strength to contend with the other Eight Great Confucian Sects. So it's unlikely to be the Tianming Academy."

"The Imperishable Immortal Dynasty and Ziyang Academy are on good terms, so there's no reason for them to disrupt the Confucian Sect Assembly."

While watching the Confucian Sect disciples compete, Lu Changsheng was also on guard against forces that might secretly sabotage the Confucian Sect Assembly.

Lu Changsheng used Apprentice-Teaching Simulator to simulate Mo Huazhi's life and learned in advance that the Confucian Sect Assembly might be attacked, so he secretly observed the various forces participating in the Confucian Sect Assembly.

However, Lu Changsheng still couldn't determine which force would try to disrupt the Confucian Sect Assembly.

Judging from the current situation, the Confucian Sect Assembly has not caused any major problems.

The Saint and great Confucian Great Confucian present, such as Master, Yellow Dragon Lord, Master Nanhua, the Lord Nanhua White-Faced Scholar, Recluse Yi'an, all possessed cultivation levels far exceeding Lu Changsheng's, enough to intimidate the assembly. If any force were to attack the Confucian Sect Assembly, it would be necessary to have the strength to contend with the Nine Great Confucian Sects.

"Could they be from the Demon Realm?"

Lu Changsheng secretly took precautions; it seemed that only the Demon Realm had the ability to disrupt the Confucian Sect Assembly.

But what is their purpose?

Every effect has a cause.

"Daoist Lu."

A sweet yet somewhat aloof voice echoed in Lu Changsheng's mind.

"What brings Eldest Princess?"

The one who transmitted the message was none other than the Eldest Princess of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty.

"I recently obtained a fragmented High Antiquity Cultivation Method Secret Manual, but unfortunately, my aptitude is limited, and I find it difficult to comprehend. During the break between our sparring sessions, I plan to invite the Daoist Master to study it together..."

The Eldest Princess's eyes held a hint of anticipation.

Even though she was the Eldest Princess of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty, Lu Changsheng was also the Taihua Saint, whose status was no less than hers. He was also a well-known figure in the Immortal Realm. Lu Changsheng might not agree to her invitation.

The Nine Great Confucian Sects successively sent people to visit Lu Changsheng, but Lu Changsheng eventually became too lazy to even see them.

The Eldest Princess felt somewhat uneasy.

So she came up with a good reason to invite Lu Changsheng to get to know her.

"Can."

Lu Changsheng thought that the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty was a major power in the Immortal Realm. Since he would be in charge of the Taihua Sacred Ground in the future, he should make many good connections in order to get along well in the Immortal Realm.

Moreover, given her status as the Eldest Princess, the High Antiquity Cultivation Method fragments she obtained must be extraordinary.

Why not do something that kills two birds with one stone?

Very good.

The Eldest Princess felt a surge of excitement.

Making friends with a genius might bring immense benefits in the future.

"I am the First Prince of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty. I humbly request that Daoist Lu grace me with his presence. I will be hosting a banquet at the Crown Prince to welcome you and celebrate your arrival."

"I am the Third Prince of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty. I have prepared delicacies such as dragon liver and phoenix marrow in my residence. I humbly request that Daoist Lu do me the honor of attending."

"I am the Ninth Prince. I have long admired the reputation of the Taihua Saint and hope to make friends with him."

At this moment, the First Prince, the Third Prince, the Ninth Prince, and other members of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty's royal family also secretly sent messages to Lu Changsheng.

Good heavens, the princes Imperial Princess of these Immortal Dynasties are far more aware of building connections than those from ordinary Holy Lands.

Lu Changsheng had already been heard of in the Imperishable Imperial City; the Immortal Dragon Emperor had nine sons.

Because the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty does not follow the primogeniture system, the throne is inherited by the prince who has the strongest cultivation, connections, and political acumen.

Needless to say, personal cultivation level is crucial; without sufficient strength, one simply cannot control a vast Immortal Dynasty in the immortal Immortal Realm, where masters abound.

No matter how brilliant one's political strategies or how extensive one's connections, if one is killed by a Loose Immortal, then all of that is meaningless.

When cultivation levels are similar, connections become very important.

This is why both the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince wanted to gain the support of the Ziyang Academy by pursuing Mo Huazhi.

With the full support of the Ziyang Academy, seizing the position of Crown Prince will not be difficult.

Now that Lu Changsheng has appeared at the Confucian Sect Assembly, all these princes are trying to befriend Lu Changsheng and gain access to the Taihua Sacred Ground.

Although the Imperial Princess of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty have no right to inherit the throne, they are born into the royal family and, through their upbringing, they also value making many good connections.

No, thank you.

Lu Changsheng declined all the princes' offers of kindness.

Making friends with one member of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty's royal family is enough to establish this connection; there's really no need to know all the princes.

The Taihua Sacred Ground is on good terms with several Daoist Holy Lands, including Yaochi, Changliu Mountain, and Moon Palace, but has little contact with the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty.

Lu Changsheng's relationship with the Eldest Princess of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty is only on a personal level. They may cooperate in the future, but not much.

The princes all looked grim.

Lu Changsheng didn't tell them that the Eldest Princess had already made an appointment with him, so these princes thought that Lu Changsheng was not giving them face.

The First Prince was initially annoyed, but then he thought, Lu Changsheng had even defeated Imperial Son Ku, who possessed the complete Supreme Emperor Body Bloodline. Why would Lu Changsheng necessarily give him face, a prince from a collateral branch whose Supreme Emperor Body Bloodline was incomplete?

Thinking about it this way, the First Prince felt relieved.

In any case, the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty and the Taihua Sacred Ground keep to themselves and have no way to get acquainted with Lu Changsheng. As long as Lu Changsheng doesn't interfere in the affairs of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty, that's fine.

"Playing the big shot? Throughout history, countless geniuses have perished along the way. Before Changsheng Never Dies, it's all just a pipe dream."

The Third Prince was rejected by Lu Changsheng twice in a row, and his eyes were filled with hatred.

He held a high position in the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty, yet Lu Changsheng completely ignored him.

"I've had such bad luck lately..."

The Ninth Prince was quite annoyed.

His father forbade him from continuing to pursue Mo Huazhi, so he wanted to find another way, to befriend the Taihua Saint as a means to win the throne among the nine princes. However, Lu Changsheng completely ignored him.

The princes of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty each harbored their own thoughts, while the disciples of the Confucian Sect Assembly continued their exchanges.

One pair of the Confucian Sect geniuses after another took to the stage to compete, and finally it was Mo Huazhi's turn.

Mo Huazhi, after all, possessed the Literary Sage Physique and was Personal Disciple of the Master, so she easily defeated her opponent.

Thirty-Two to Sixteen.

Round of 16 to Round of 8.

Eight to four.

In the end, of the thirty-two Confucian Sect geniuses, only Song Ziming from the Tianming Academy, Chen Zichu from the Weilong Academy, Xie Wenyun from the Nanlu Academy, and Mo Huazhi from the Ziyang Academy remained.

All four possessed the qualities of Saint, hailed from the Nine Great Confucian Sects, and were the strongest geniuses born from the Confucian Sect in the past million years.

There will be a one-day break before the semi-finals begin, after which the Champion will be determined.

After the Confucian Sect disciples' competition, the Saint of the Nine Great Confucian Sects, including Master, might explain the meaning of the classics.

The disciples' competition was merely a entertainment event at the Confucian Sect Assembly; it was simply a covert contest between the Nine Great Confucian Sects.

For most Great Confucian and their disciples, the greatest significance of the Confucian Sect Assembly was listening to the teachings of the Saint.

Aside from the Personal Disciples of the Saint, these Great Confucian and their disciples had no other opportunity to hear the Saint' lectures.

"Fellow Daoist Lu?"

The Eldest Princess smiled and gestured for Lu Changsheng to come and visit her residence.

"Qingzhi, keep an eye on your junior brothers and sisters. Don't let them cause trouble. I'm going to the Eldest Princess's residence to examine a High Antiquity fragment."

Lu Changsheng had his Eldest Disciple Lin Qingzhi, lead the team, and then followed the Eldest Princess to the Imperial City.

Lu Changsheng absolutely had to see the High Antiquity scrolls in the collection of the Eldest Princess.

Lu Changsheng and the Eldest Princess disappeared at the same time.

The First Prince, Third Prince, Sixth Prince, Ninth Prince, and others of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty, seeing the Eldest Princess and the Taihua Saint disappear from their seats at the same time, understood immediately what had happened.

"So it was my eldest Elder Sister who beat me to it and invited Daoist Lu. No wonder Daoist Lu declined my invitation."

The First Prince was completely relieved.

According to the rules of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty, Imperial Princess have no right to inherit the throne. The Eldest Princess's early accession poses no threat to him, the First Prince, and is a good thing for the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty.

"This guy must be lusting after my Elder Sister's beauty. I never expected him to be such a hypocrite, all that sanctimonious facade."

The Third Prince couldn't help but feel disdain, thinking that Lu Changsheng had taken a fancy to the Eldest Princess, which was why he accepted Eldest Princess invitation and rejected him.

Taking advantage of the lull, other Confucian Sect sent people to pay their respects to the Taihua Saint.

However, Lu Changsheng had already disappeared, leaving Lin Qingzhi with no choice but to deal with these people in place of his master.

Lu Changsheng and the Eldest Princess left not only to see the Eldest Princess's High Antiquity scroll, but also to avoid these irrelevant people.

In a magnificent palace of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty, the Eldest Princess led Lu Changsheng to her Scripture Repository.

The Eldest Princess's Scripture Repository is incredibly comprehensive, containing a vast collection of Cultivation Method manuals and illustrated books.

"Your Highness truly lives up to her reputation as the most valued Imperial Princess of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty; the Cultivation Method and scriptures she has collected are simply Misty Sea."

"You flatter me, Saint. Taihua Mountain is one of the High Antiquity Holy Land, with profound cultural heritage and countless books. My meager personal collection is truly laughable."

The Eldest Princess tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Changsheng. This number one genius in the Immortal Realm not only possessed extraordinary talent, but was also incredibly handsome.

"The High Antiquity scrolls you mentioned..."

Lu Changsheng couldn't wait any longer.

The Eldest Princess's bright eyes showed a hint of disappointment.

Lu Changsheng's interest in the High Antiquity scrolls seemed to surpass hers.

The Eldest Princess is known as the most beautiful woman in the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty and is the apple of the Immortal Dragon Emperor's eye. Countless geniuses from various Sects have come to propose marriage, wanting to obtain this pearl of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty, Immortal Dragon Emperor has not agreed to any of them.

As it turned out, Lu Changsheng wasn't very interested in her.

With a flick of her jade finger, the Eldest Princess opened a wooden box on top of the bookshelf, and a tattered bamboo scroll fell into her hands.

"This is Xiang River Bamboo, which can last for hundreds of millions of years, but it has scorch marks and is damaged as a result, which is a pity."

Lu Changsheng recognized the quality of the bamboo slips at a glance.

The Eldest Princess didn't lie on purpose to get to know him; she really did have a High Antiquity scroll.

"Indeed, it is precisely because it is so severely incomplete that I find it difficult to glean any insight from it."

The Eldest Princess knew that studying the incomplete scroll together would make it easier to build a relationship, so she didn't hesitate to take out this precious incomplete scroll in order to get to know Lu Changsheng.

She unfolded the tattered bamboo slips. Because of their incompleteness, there were only a little over a hundred ancient characters on them, which were extremely difficult to understand.

"Only a little over a hundred words, that's far too little."

Lu Changsheng shook his head upon seeing this.

Judging from the more than one hundred ancient characters left behind, this should be a High Antiquity Cultivation Method, but it is too incomplete.

These hundred-odd words might just be the preface.

To deduce the entire Cultivation Method based solely on these few ancient characters is undoubtedly a pipe dream.

This is no small feat.

Etc.

Lu Changsheng thought of the Apprentice-Teaching Simulator.

If the fragmented High Antiquity scroll is given to a disciple, the system might be able to return the complete scroll.

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng suddenly stepped forward.

The Eldest Princess was startled. What was he going to do?

Has he finally become interested in me?
