The Azure Emperor's Cultivation Method! (4K)

"Your Imperial Princess, would you be so kind as to part with this High Antiquity fragment? I won't accept it for nothing. I will study it thoroughly and then compile my understanding into a book, which I will then have my disciple deliver."

Lu Changsheng took a liking to the Eldest Princess's treasured possessions and wanted to take the High Antiquity fragment to see if the system could return the complete Cultivation Method if he bestowed it upon his disciple.

The Eldest Princess had a strange expression.

This tattered scroll contains only a hundred or so characters. If Lu Changsheng takes it, will he truly be able to decipher the missing content?

It looks like they're trying to get something for nothing.

However, in order to gain Lu Changsheng's friendship, the Eldest Princess gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, consider this a gift for Daoist Lu."

The Eldest Princess, as expected of royalty, knows that relationships are sometimes more important than treasures.

Even if she kept the High Antiquity scroll, she wouldn't be able to decipher it herself, so it would be better to give it away and exchange it for a better relationship.

This can be considered a form of investment.

Since it's an investment, there are risks and potential returns.

If Lu Changsheng gets the treasure and then turns his back on her, there's nothing she can do.

Lu Changsheng didn't stand on ceremony and put away the High Antiquity scroll.

It's impossible to deduce the exact nature of the technique; it's more likely to be used as a reward for disciples, with the hope that the system will return the complete High Antiquity Cultivation Method.

Where did this fragment come from?

"While I was exploring the Forbidden Grounds of Emperor's Mausoleum in the Central Immortal Realm, I stumbled upon it by chance in a deserted mountain cave."

"The Emperor's Mausoleum..."

Lu Changsheng had heard of this Forbidden Grounds area in the Immortal Realm.

In Remote Antiquity times, a group of Great Expert Human Race, relying on their astonishing talents, created one Cultivation Practice Method after another, giving birth to more and more strong individuals among the Human Race. Finally, the Human Race prospered.

These earliest Great Expert Human Race were called Great Emperors by the Remote Antiquity Xiuzhenzhe, and each had an imperial title.

The Azure Emperor was one of the Primordial Human Race Emperor, along with other Human Race Great Emperors, led the Human Race in a great war against the Demon Race.

These Human Race Great Emperors besieged the Primordial Demon God, and most of them ultimately perished together with the Primordial Demon God; very few survived.

The Emperor's Mausoleum is the burial place of the High Antiquity Azure Emperor after his fall. It contains various High Antiquity Grand Formations set up by the Azure Emperor during his lifetime, making it extremely dangerous. It is listed as one of the Forbidden Grounds in the Immortal Realm, even more dangerous than Forbidden Grounds such as the Life-Ending Valley, the High Antiquity Heavenly Court Ruins, and the Sword Tomb.

Ordinary Xiuzhenzhe only explore the outer perimeter of the Emperor's Mausoleum and dare not enter Emperor's Mausoleum interior.

It is said that even Changsheng Never Dies and Great Expert would perish if they entered the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum and activated the High Antiquity Strange Formation set up by the Azure Emperor.

The Azure Emperor's cultivation level surpasses Creation of heaven and earth.

The High Antiquity Strange Formation he set up was powerful enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.

Aside from the fear of perishing, Great Expert Human Race in later generations would generally not choose to trespass into the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum and offend their ancestors.

Without the leadership of Primordial Human Race Emperors like the Azure Emperor, who guided Human Race out of its darkest period, Human Race Xiuzhenzhe Primordial Human Race Emperor still be nothing more than food for the Demon Race.

While training outside the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum, the Eldest Princess accidentally unearthed this incomplete bamboo scroll.

Bamboo slips made from Xiang River Bamboo were buried deep underground in the cave and were difficult to find if one was not careful.

The High Antiquity Azure Emperor, Lu Changsheng, also cultivated one of his Body Tempering Method —the Azure Emperor Longevity Art.

The "Azure Emperor Longevity Art" is of the Top-Grade Emperor-Grade, and it is very likely that it was a Body Tempering Cultivation Method created by the Azure Emperor when he was young.

It should be noted that in Remote Antiquity times, the Human Race did not have many Cultivation Practice Method and were all exploring them. The fact that the Azure Emperor was able to create Top-Grade Emperor-Grade Body Tempering Method in Remote Antiquity, from nothing to something, shows his extraordinary talent.

The Azure Emperor's Mausoleum is located in the Central Immortal Realm, within the territory of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty.

Perhaps the royal family of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty had some knowledge of this Forbidden Grounds, and the incomplete scroll that the Eldest Princess obtained from the cave outside the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum's Mausoleum was very likely an item belonging to the Azure Emperor.

"Is the body of the Azure Emperor truly located in this Azure Emperor's Mausoleum?"

"I don't know either." The Eldest Princess shook her head. "I suspect that this fragment is Cultivation Method created by the Azure Emperor, because our Imperishable Immortal Dynasty once obtained the Azure Emperor's handwriting, which is almost identical to the handwriting on this fragment. Also, the Azure Emperor always liked to leave his calligraphy on things like Xiang River Bamboo, which are close to eternal. Unfortunately, I am dull-witted, and the bamboo slip is severely damaged, so I cannot comprehend the Cultivation Method recorded on it."

One of the most important reasons she valued this treasure so much was that she knew it was the Cultivation Method of the High Antiquity Azure Emperor.

If it weren't for the fragment, this item would likely have become a national treasure of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty, and it wouldn't have been easily shown to Lu Changsheng, let alone given to him.

"The High Antiquity Azure Emperor created a vast number of Cultivation Method, truly unprecedented and unparalleled. However, these Cultivation Method were created across different periods. Cultivation Method created during Azure Emperor weaker years included Immortal Stage, Saint, and Emperor levels, as well as God-level Cultivation Method and even more Cultivation Method created after he attained Dao. Furthermore, it is said that the Azure Emperor created numerous low- to mid-level Cultivation Method to enable more powerful individuals among Human Race, allowing mortals to cultivate them. This fragmentary scroll, however, remains unknown regarding when and for what purpose the Azure Emperor created Cultivation Method. If it only contains Cultivation Method below the God level, it probably won't be of much use to us."

Lu Changsheng knew that this Eldest Princess was already a master of the God King Realm.

If the fragment contains a Cultivation Method of the "Azure Emperor Longevity Art," it would be of little use to the Eldest Princess.

However, if this Cultivation Method was created by the Azure Emperor at his peak, its value is immeasurable.

The Eldest Princess nodded in agreement with Lu Changsheng's view. "Since I've given it to you, it's your treasure. Whether you can gain any insights from it depends on Daoist Lu's fortuitous opportunity."

"May I ask for Your Imperial Princess's name?"

Since the other party wanted to establish a relationship, Lu Changsheng should at least know their name. Otherwise, it would be too distant to be friends.

My name is Yao Yusheng.

The Eldest Princess was overjoyed; it seemed that giving away such a treasure had been worthwhile.

But then she thought again, it's always been others trying to please her, why is it that this time, she's the one trying to please the other person? Besides, the other person is just asking for her name, is there any need to get so worked up?

At the Ziyang Academy's meeting hall, the Third Prince personally visited Mo Huazhi at the Ziyang Academy's seat. "Miss Mo, this is a piece of Cold Jade of Southern Mountain discovered by one of my retainers at the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum. It can stabilize the mind and prevent one from Qi Deviation during cultivation. Please accept it, Miss Mo."

The Third Prince took out a valuable piece of cold jade and presented it to the prince with both hands in a fawning manner.

However, Mo Huazhi remained expressionless. "I appreciate the Third Prince's kindness, but I cannot accept such a gift without having done so. Please, Third Prince, take it back."

She was Disciple of Master and Lu Changsheng, and both masters bestowed upon her a great many treasures. She was not lacking in such treasures. Although the Cold Jade of Southern Mountain was rare, she was not without it.

By accepting the Third Prince's treasures and incurring his favor, he found himself constantly at the mercy of others.

Mo Huazhi is no longer the naive girl who was deceived by the Hehuan Sect Young Master. After years of cultivation, she can see through the Third Prince's intentions.

The Third Prince, having failed to deliver his gift, concealed his displeasure and forced a smile, "After the Confucian Sect Assembly concludes, would Miss Mo do me the honor of having a meal at my residence? I will certainly prepare the finest delicacies to entertain you."

"Third Prince, there's no need to worry. I've reunited with my former master, and we'll have a good chat after the Confucian Sect Assembly. I'm too busy to Avatar."

Mo Huazhi showed no interest in him whatsoever.

The Third Prince clenched his fists under his sleeves, but still smiled and said, "That's true. Miss Mo has been reunited with her long-lost master, so she should have a good chat. You can do me the honor of joining us another time."

The Third Prince then departed.

But after turning around, the Third Prince's face was terribly gloomy.

Mo Huazhi's masters are all outstanding individuals. She has high standards and will not grovel before the Third Prince of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty just because he is his status.

On the contrary, Mo Huazhi was the Master's Personal Disciple, and her status was even higher than that of the Third Prince.

Mo Huazhi's first master, Lu Changsheng, was the Taihua Saint. With the connection to the Taihua Sacred Ground, even the Third Prince couldn't compare to Mo Huazhi.

While the Saintess of some Sects in the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty were eager to throw themselves at the Third Prince, Mo Huazhi had no such need.

Compared to Lu Changsheng, the Third Prince paled in comparison.

He lost in both talent and appearance.

"It seems I have no choice but to use the method my master taught me. Once the deed is done, she'll have no choice but to follow me obediently."

The Third Prince returned to his seat, pondering his future plans.

The Ninth Prince sneered from the side, "Third Brother, it doesn't feel good to hit a wall, does it? Now you understand how I feel? I've spent no less than a hundred thousand years and still can't win over the Saintess of the Ziyang Academy."

The Third Prince said expressionlessly, "You useless piece of trash, don't even try to compare yourself to me."

"You..."

"They must not fight amongst themselves."

Seeing the two arguing, the First Prince mediated between them.

"It seems that the struggle for succession among the nine princes within the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty is not stable."

At the Nanlu Academy, the youthful-looking but white-haired Lord Nanhua Gong observed the subtle interactions among the members of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty's royal family out of the Yu Guang of his eye. He knew that these princes were not Qi Ingestion of each other's merits and were all vying for the position of Crown Prince.

However, what happens within the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty is none of the concern of the Nanlu Academy, which is located far to the Southern Immortal Realm.

"Sir, I have a bad feeling."

Beside the Lord Nanhua, a refined and gentle disciple dressed in a traditional Chinese dress expressed his inner unease.

Xie Wenyun, one of the four great geniuses of the Confucian Sect, is also Mo Huazhi's next opponent.

Lord Nanhua raised an eyebrow. "You noticed it too?"

"Yes. Besides the Nine Great Confucian Sects, there seems to be a strange aura surrounding this Confucian Sect Assembly. However, this disciple cannot pinpoint what it is."

Xie Wenyun surveyed the bustling Confucian Sect Assembly hall, unable to discern the source of any threat.

The Confucian Sect Assembly brought together almost all the great Confucian Great Confucian from the Confucian Sect in the Immortal Realm, as well as some independent Great Confucian Rogue Cultivator schools in Grotto-Heaven Blessed Lands. The number of participants was no less than one million. Apart from the Nine Great Confucian Sects and the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty, the other forces were relatively weak.

Even from the Taihua Sacred Ground, the strongest person to arrive was only the Taihua Saint Ninth-Grade God King Realm.

Although Lu Changsheng's aptitude is terrifying, Lu Changsheng is still only Ninth-Grade God King. He is no match for powerful Confucian cultivators such as Master, Duke Yellow Dragon Lord, Lord Nanhua, Recluse Yi'an, and the White-faced White-Faced Scholar.

Even the First Prince and Eldest Princess of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty have higher cultivation levels than Lu Changsheng.

Therefore, the Taihua Sacred Ground is not a source of unease.

"Does the gentleman know anything?"

Xie Wenyun felt that his cultivation was still shallow, so he asked his master, Master Lord Nanhua, for advice.

Lord Nanhua was one of the Saint of the Nanlu Academy and a leading figure in the Confucian Sect in the Southern Immortal Realm. He should have noticed more.

Lord Nanhua slowly said, "Earlier, the Heavenly Emperor summoned all the major Immortal Realm Great Dao and Immortal Dynasties of the Heavenly Court Assembly, but the Buddhist Sect and Confucian Sects were absent. It is rumored that the Heavenly Court Assembly is to deal with the Demon Realm, which is a continuation of the High Antiquity Heavenly Court and the Demon Sect. Perhaps the Demon Realm will interfere in this Confucian Sect Assembly..."

"We Confucian Sect have no enmity with the Demon Realm, so why is the Demon Realm targeting the Nine Great Confucian Sects?"

"I don't know about that; let's wait and see."

Lord Nanhua hovered in mid-air with his hands behind his back. Although his face was expressionless, his Divine Sense had already covered the entire venue of the Confucian Sect Assembly.

The eyes of the Confucian Sect masters, including Master, Yellow Dragon Lord, the White-Faced Scholar, and Recluse Yi'an, changed.

"It seems that old fellow, Lord Nanhua, has already realized something."

Yellow Dragon Lord plugged the mouth of the wine gourd with a wooden stopper and hung the gourd on his waist.

Zhuo Xiangren, standing to the side, asked in confusion, "Why aren't you drinking, sir?"

"Haven't you noticed something's wrong yet?"

Yellow Dragon Lord's cloudy eyes gradually turned sharp.

"Something's not right? What's wrong here?"

Zhuo Xiangren scratched his head. The Confucian Sect Assembly hall was bustling with activity, as members of various Confucian Sect visited each other to exchange greetings. After a short rest, the four Confucian Sect geniuses selected from the Nine Great Confucian Sects would soon be vying for the Champion. What was wrong with that?

Yellow Dragon Lord rolled his eyes. "Rotten wood cannot be carved."

Zhuo Xiangren felt wronged.

He was, after all, a great Great Confucian at the Tianming Academy, a master of Great Perfection God King. While he might not be entirely confident of becoming Saint, it was certainly not a distant dream.

How did it become rotten wood?

"Disciple, this is Talisman I crafted for you, to protect you."

Recluse Yi'an of the Menghua Academy bestowed three Confucian Sect Talismans upon his disciple Xiao Xin.

"Master, why is this?"

Xiao Xin was puzzled.

She had already lost to Xia Zi'an of the White Deer Academy, so even if her master gave her Talisman now, it would be useless to her.

"Take it; you'll need it later."

Recluse Yi'an was a delicate and frail woman; I felt pity for her.

However, she was a talented woman ranked among the top 100 on the God King Ranking, only one step away from becoming a saint.

Lin Qingzhi, Changsheng Sect's Chief Grand Disciple, was struggling to deal with the various Great Confucian who came to pay their respects to Lu Changsheng when his expression changed slightly.

Lin Qingzhi had followed Lu Changsheng in cultivation for many years, inheriting his master's steady personality and sense of danger. He had already vaguely sensed something.

"Gentlemen, the Confucian Sect disciples' competition is about to resume. Please return to your seats. We look forward to seeing you again after the competition concludes."

Lin Qingzhi realized the danger and didn't want to get entangled with these Great Confucian any longer.

These Great Confucian were all eloquent and eager to meet Lu Changsheng. Lin Qingzhi, who was usually taciturn, couldn't win against them.

The group of Great Confucian left with regret, returning to their respective seats.

It's incredibly difficult to even speak a single word to the Taihua Saint.

After these Great Confucian left, a figure appeared in Lu Changsheng's seat; Lu Changsheng had returned.
