Enduring Affection Art (4K)

"So it was the High Antiquity Demon Emperor who was born."

Lu Changsheng learned the whole story.

The birth of High Antiquity Demon Emperor who harbors a grudge against the Guanghan Holy Land is no small matter.

This High Antiquity Demon Emperor was a proponent of war; if he returns to the Yao Realm, the pro-war faction might gain the upper hand.

"The High Antiquity Demon Emperor has returned, and it seems the Demon Race will inevitably be drawn into turmoil. It has been sealed in the Endless Ice Domain for countless years and needs time to recover. I will teach you the Sect-Defending Cultivation Method of the Moon Palace; you must break through to the Immortality Realm within ten million years."

Li Lingfei decided to focus all her efforts on nurturing Xia Ningxue in order to deal with the High Antiquity Demon Emperor might return at any time to seek revenge.

"Ahem, before that, Xue'er and I need to practice our Dual Cultivation Method."

Lu Changsheng came to the Moon Palace to practice the "Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Art" and the "Holy Spirit Swordsmanship" with Xia Ningxue.

These two Cultivation Method are in no way inferior to the Sect-Defending Cultivation Method of the Guanghan Holy Land.

Xia Ningxue blushed, never expecting Lu Changsheng to so readily propose dual cultivation.

The elders, including Li Lingfei, looked at each other in bewilderment.

What kind of Dual Cultivation Method is this? Is it really more powerful than the Sect-Defending Cultivation Method from the Guanghan Holy Land?

"Xue'er, you should cultivate with him." Li Heng knew that Lu Changsheng was somewhat unusual, and perhaps their Dual Cultivation Method would have miraculous effects. "Furthermore, as the Palace Master of our Moon Palace, you should also begin to take on disciples, so that the torch can be passed down and continue to thrive."

"I haven't found a particularly suitable Disciple yet."

Xia Ningxue was influenced by Lu Changsheng, so she had strict requirements for accepting disciples.

The aptitude of Disciples like Lu Qinglian and Ning Qianqian is ridiculously high.

Xia Ningxue adhered to the principle of "better to have none than to have bad ones," so she had never taken on any disciples.

However, Li Heng's words also make sense.

Generally speaking, the next Palace Master is chosen from among the Disciples of the previous Palace Master.

If Xia Ningxue doesn't have Disciples, then who will succeed her as the next Palace Master?

"You Cultivation Practice Method with Lu Changsheng first. I'll have someone spread the word that our Moon Palace will hold a special Apprentice-Selection Ceremony in three years to accept many disciples. If there are any promising talents at the Apprentice-Selection Ceremony, we can consider taking them on as disciples."

Li Heng, as the previous Palace Master, also devoted herself wholeheartedly to the Holy Land.

"Um."

Xia Ningxue had no objections.

For the next period of time, Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue cultivated the "Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Art" and the "Holy Spirit Swordsmanship" in the Moon Palace.

The combined power of the two is greater than any Cultivation Method used by one person alone.

At the same time, the Moon Palace announced in the Immortal Realm that Moon Palace would hold Apprentice-Selection Ceremony to accept disciples in three years. The Palace Master of the Moon Palace might even take on one or two Personal Disciples.

The news caused a stir in the Immortal Realm, and countless Cultivation Aristocratic Clan, Sects, and dynasties were in an uproar.

The Guanghan Holy Land, in terms of overall strength, is enough to rank among the top ten among the many Human Race Holy Lands.

The Guanghan Holy Land recruits disciples, which has always attracted countless geniuses to come and learn from it.

There are even rumors in the Immortal Realm that Xia Ningxue, the Palace Master Moon Palace, is incomparably beautiful and is expected to become the next Divine Maiden of the Immortal Realm.

Xia Ningxue may accept disciples at this year's Apprentice-Selection Ceremony, doubling the attractiveness of the Guanghan Holy Land.

In one Sects, the Sect Master personally summoned the sect's most talented disciple.

"Master, I want to stay in the sect and cultivate under your guidance. I won't go to that Moon Palace."

"Fool, do you even know what the Moon Palace is? Even a random Elder Dao cultivation is more powerful than your master! This is an incredible fortuitous opportunity, and you might not even be able to get in. I'm just taking you there to try and seize this fortuitous opportunity!"

The Sect Master was extremely disappointed in his students.

The Human Race Holy Land rarely accepts outsiders because the Holy Land has a large population, and the descendants of the Moon Palace Ancestor have a higher probability of developing Special Physiques.

This time, the Guanghan Holy Land is accepting disciples from outside. If one can become a disciple of the Guanghan Holy Land, it would truly be an immense stroke of good fortune.

In a certain Human Race Dynasty, the emperor learned that the Moon Palace was accepting disciples. Without saying a word, he immediately ordered his servants to prepare the luggage for all the princes and Imperial Princess, and they were to depart at once.

Inner disciple the Moon Palace hold a much higher status than princes and Imperial Princess of Human Race Dynasties.

If a prince or Imperial Princess were to become Elder of the Holy Land, the status of this Human Race Dynasty would rise accordingly.

"Our Ouyang Household has been in decline for a long time. If a disciple can join the Moon Palace, it will surely revive our family's glory."

"You will represent our Worship Fire Sect in the selection of disciples for the Moon Palace. If you achieve wealth and status, do not forget us."

"The Fortune of our Great Kun Dynasty rests on your shoulders. If you can enter the Moon Palace, I will betroth my daughter to you."

Sects, Immortal Dynasties, and Aristocratic Clan all sent their most talented disciples to participate in the Guanghan Holy Land's Apprentice-Selection Ceremony.

As long as one or two disciples can enter the Moon Palace to become apprentices and learn skills, they will more or less be connected with the Moon Palace.

In the Eastern Immortal Realm, numerous Human Race Dynasty, and Confucian Sect flourished.

Human Race Dynasties waged endless wars for territory and Cultivation Resources, with flames of conflict raging across the land.

A village was shrouded in thick smoke, littered with corpses, tattered armor, flags, wooden wheels, broken spears and Long Swords —the list of the dead was endless.

Several women in flowing white robes landed, sheathed their Flying Swords, and frowned upon seeing the devastated village and the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Their long dresses had the symbol of the Moon Palace on the chest area.

"The Eastern Immortal Realm is filled with dynasties, and although there are frequent wars, none have been this brutal. We've seen no fewer than three hundred battlefields along the way. What on earth has happened to the Eastern Immortal Realm?"

"According to the Great Confucian of the Weilong Academy, the Blood Sea Hall and the Evil Extremity Sect have deepened their infiltration into the Eastern Immortal Realm. The Human Race Dynasties are waging war against each other, and the Blood Sea Hall and the Evil Extremity Sect may be instigating it behind the scenes."

Why do you say that?

"As far as I know, cultivating the Blood Sea Hall's Devil Cultivation Method requires a vast amount of Qi and Blood. If one were to commit a large-scale massacre, it would inevitably attract the attention of the Confucian Sect like the Weilong Academy, as well as some Human Race Holy Lands, making them vulnerable to persecution. However, if one were to incite Human Race Dynasties to attack each other, the deaths and injuries of hundreds of millions of lives would be a minor matter and would not attract the attention of the major Holy Lands and Academies."

"These matters are beyond our control. We're only here to purchase a batch of special heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the Weilong Academy. It's raining; let's leave."

Seeing the rain falling from the Heaven, washing away the blood, the disciples of the Moon Palace sighed and prepared to leave on their swords.

"Wait, there seems to be an extremely faint trace of aura."

A female disciple suddenly noticed a faint breathing sound.

Her Divine Sense was focused on a small wooden house.

"Come out, I won't hurt you."

She could feel the other person's faint breathing; he had no cultivation and was probably just an ordinary person.

"We are from the Moon Palace, not bad people. Perhaps we can save your life."

She spoke again.

This village was the battlefield of the Human Race Dynasty, where millions of soldiers, Xiuzhenzhe, and mortals perished. It is truly unbelievable that some people still survived.

She would still be willing to lend a helping hand if possible.

After a while, a small head popped out from behind the wooden house. Her dark eyes looked timidly at the few disciples of the Moon Palace, as if she was still a little worried. Her dirty little hands held a half-eaten pancake.

Rainwater streamed down her hair, stained with blood.

"A three- or four-year-old child?"

The disciples of the Moon Palace looked at each other in disbelief.

This village is like Purgatory, where even Loose Immortals have perished. How did this little girl survive?

"Next to the wooden house is a hastily dug earthen grave. Could it be that she dug it up to bury her parents?"

"Could she really do that?"

The disciples of the Moon Palace were even more incredulous.

How could an ordinary little girl, only a few years old, know to dig a pit to bury her parents?

And with just his two little hands, he dug out a grave.

"Perhaps it is fate that this woman survived. Perhaps I should take her back to the Moon Palace."

The female disciple of the Moon Palace was moved with compassion.

"Although we are inner disciples, our seniority is not high enough to authorize us to become disciples of the Moon Palace."

"I'll have her work as Servant by my side and give her some guidance. If she can embark on the path of cultivation, that would be best. If she remains a mortal, she can still live a peaceful and uneventful life."

A female disciple of the Moon Palace decided to take in the poor little girl.

She beckoned to the little girl. "Elder Sister here, Elder Sister 'll take you to a place with delicious food."

The little girl looked down at the mud-covered flatbread in her hand, seemingly understanding the words of the female disciple from the Moon Palace, and walked towards the female disciple.

"This cake is dirty; it'll give you diarrhea. I have a peach here."

A female disciple of the Moon Palace traded a peach for a pancake with a little girl.

The little girl took the plump peach, took only one bite, and showed an expression of disbelief and surprise.

She had never eaten anything so delicious before.

"Let's leave this place of trouble with my Elder Sister."

The female disciple of the Moon Palace enveloped the little girl with her True Qi, and then left with the other Moon Palace disciples.

The little girl glanced longingly at the earthen grave, but had no choice but to leave the village where she was born.

The little girl who was taken to the Guanghan Holy Land did not cause any ripples.

The Elder in charge turned a blind eye to this.

Occasionally, the inner disciples of the Moon Palace would rescue some pitiful people and bring them back to the Moon Palace.

If nothing unexpected happens, these people will become Servants in the Moon Palace.

The Moon Palace is vast, with countless Palaces, naturally requiring a large number of Servants to maintain Palace operation.

Before we knew it, three years had passed.

[Ding! Your Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Art has reached level eleven. Reward: "Enduring Affection Art".]

[The "Enduring Affection Art": Practicing this skill allows for telepathic communication, enabling participants to share each other's perspective and mitigate the damage received during combat.]

Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue successfully completed their dual cultivation, breaking through to the eleventh level of the "Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Art." The system rewarded them with another Dual Cultivation Method —the "Enduring Affection Art."

What makes this Cultivation Method special is that when fighting side-by-side, you can share the same field of vision and mitigate damage!

This is outrageous, absolutely outrageous.

Lu Changsheng had seen many peerless Cultivation Method, but among all the Cultivation Method Lu Changsheng had ever seen, the "Enduring Affection Art" was considered a heaven-defying Cultivation Method.

So Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue began practicing the "Enduring Affection Art," and with their understanding of the Three Thousand Great Daos, they quickly mastered it.

"Let's find Lian and Qianqian to try it out."

Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue went to find Lu Qinglian and Ning Qianqian to see if the "Enduring Affection Art" lived up to its name.

"Lian, you attack me later. Qianqian, you attack Master's Wife."

Lu Changsheng has never fought his Disciple before.

"Really? Then Lian won't be polite."

"Qianqian will try her best too."

Lu Qinglian and Ning Qianqian to fight.

Since it was their master's request, they weren't considered to be being disobedient.

Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue were of one mind and simultaneously activated the "Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Art" and the "Enduring Affection Art".

Lu Changsheng gained Xia Ningxue's perspective; if the two stood back to back, either of them would have a full-view view.

A miraculous Cultivation Method.

Lu Qinglian and Ning Qianqian exchanged glances, then simultaneously took off, transforming into two black shadows as they attacked Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue.

Lu Qinglian's fist smashed open, and Lu Changsheng caught it with his palm.

Scare!!

The force was so strong that it nearly caused Lu Changsheng to break his bones.

After Lu Qinglian obtained the Azure Emperor's Inheritance, her physical strength surpassed that of Lu Changsheng.

"Master, be careful."

Lu Qinglian launched a series of attacks, her Martial Technique were natural and seamless, each move was as fast as lightning, and Lu Changsheng could only barely cope with them.

Having inherited the Azure Emperor's Inheritance, Lu Qinglian not only possessed a monstrous physical body, but also mastered a Martial Technique that even Lu Changsheng did not know.

This Disciple is outrageous; even I, her master, might not be her match.

However, in "The Enduring Affection Art", some of the impact of Lu Qinglian's actions was distributed to Xia Ningxue.

This is equivalent to Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue simultaneously enduring Lu Qinglian's attack.

Although the "Enduring Affection Art" also distributed some of Ning Qianqian's attacks to Lu Changsheng, Ning Qianqian was ultimately only Great Perfection Immortal Emperor and did not have such an outrageous opportunity Azure Emperor's Inheritance, so her offensive was obviously not as fierce as Lu Qinglian's.

"The 'Enduring Affection Art' is useful. If we're facing a powerful enemy at the same time, it's much better for both of us to neutralize their attacks simultaneously than to be defeated one by one."

"Lian is too amazing; I'm afraid I'm no match for her."

Xia Ningxue and Lu Changsheng secretly communicated telepathically, and she was also surprised by Lu Qinglian's growth.

It should be noted that Lu Qinglian is currently only Great Perfection Immortal Emperor, yet she already possesses power comparable to God King. If Lu Qinglian were to break through to the next realm, even they might not be able to defeat Lu Qinglian.

"Alright, that's enough."

Lu Changsheng tested the effects of the "Enduring Affection Art" and quickly called for a halt.

Lu Qinglian cast an admiring glance at her. "Master is indeed worthy of being called Master. I have absolutely no way to deal with Master."

Lu Changsheng's eye twitched.

If Xia Ningxue hadn't shared the attacks, and it had been a pure contest of Martial Technique, he might have actually been defeated by his own Disciple.

It seems I need to diligently practice the "Invincible Divine Art" created by Su Wudi; otherwise, how could I, as the master, bear the shame of being defeated by my own Disciple in the future?

"Xue'er, your Moon Palace's Apprentice-Selection Ceremony is in a few days, so we will suspend our cultivation."

"Um."

Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue have only just begun to learn the basics. Once they have mastered the "Enduring Affection Art," they will be able to develop other Divine Abilities.

The Apprentice-Selection Ceremony at the Moon Palace drew countless geniuses and heroes from all corners of the Immortal Realm.

Since Lu Changsheng had arrived at this Apprentice-Selection Ceremony, he decided to observe from the sidelines.

The Moon Palace Ancestor were startled.

In their view, Lu Changsheng's appearances often meant that something big was about to happen.

This Apprentice-Selection Ceremony is being held at the Moon Palace; there shouldn't be any surprises, right?
