Victory! (4K)

Imperial Son Ku's aura became disordered, the Primordial Era Treasure Pagoda went out of control, and the Human Emperor Cauldron slammed heavily into Imperial Son Ku's body!

Even the Supreme Emperor Body could not withstand such a terrifying attack. The moment he was struck by the Human Emperor Cauldron, Imperial Son Ku vomited blood, his face turning ashen.

"Please rest, Your Highness!"

As a servant of Imperial Son Ku, Elder Shi quickly took action.

Elder Shi appeared between the two, slapped open the Human Emperor Cauldron with a palm, and saved Imperial Son Ku.

Both sides remained completely silent.

Elder Shi's intervention in the competition implicitly acknowledged that Imperial Son Ku had already lost.

The Heavenly Emperor's Son was defeated by Lu Changsheng twice in a row.

This time, even after Imperial Son Ku cultivated the "Creation Divine Art" and obtained the Primordial Era Treasure Pagoda, he still lost.

The three High Antiquity True Lords, including True Lord Dingyang, had ashen faces.

Imperial Son Ku was the future master of the Mira Palace, but now that he has been defeated, how can the Mira Palace maintain its status as the number one power in the Three Realms?

Furthermore, the reputation of the Mira Palace will also be affected.

"Young Friend Lu is indeed worth befriending."

Although True Lord Youran was tricked by Lu Qinglian, he no longer cared about it at this moment.

With Lu Changsheng's talent, if he continues to grow, he is very likely to become the new Human Race Great Emperor.

Befriending such a genius will greatly benefit the Cloud Mountain Holy Land in the future.

What kind of monster is Brother Lu?

Yan Zhiqiu was drenched in sweat.

He had seen many geniuses in the Kunlun Holy Land Purple Void Palace, but he had never seen a monster like Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi faster than Imperial Son Ku, who cultivated the "Creation Divine Art." Their physical strength was almost the same, and Lu Changsheng's overall aptitude was even superior to that of Imperial Son Ku.

"Call..."

Xia Ningxue, Lin Qinghan, Mo Huazhi, and others who were worried about Lu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Ningxue's sweat soaked through her inner lining.

Although she didn't personally participate, Xia Ningxue felt as if she had gone through a major battle, almost exhausting her True Qi.

Xia Ningxue also took several Medicinal Pills to restore her True Qi.

The Creation Divine Art truly lives up to its reputation as the number one divine art in the Three Realms, exhausting the True Qi of both Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue.

"Hahaha, Lu Changsheng cultivated my Invincible Divine Art and defeated the Imperial Son who also cultivated the Invincible Divine Art. In a rounding-up fashion, my Invincible Divine Art is truly the number one Cultivation Method in the Three Realms!"

Su Wudi felt better this time.

Although he lost to the Heavenly Emperor, his Disciple surpassed the Heavenly Emperor's son, which could be considered a form of revenge.

Compared to the jubilation on Lu Changsheng's side, everyone on the Mira Palace side was extremely depressed.

This time, I've really embarrassed myself.

"Elder Shi, I can still fight..."

Imperial Son Ku's body ached all over, but he was not willing to admit defeat easily.

Having lost to Lu Changsheng for the second time, how could he possibly have the face to go back?

"Your Highness, please calm down. The Creation Divine Art is undoubtedly the strongest Cultivation Method in the Three Realms. As long as you can master the complete Creation Divine Art and achieve the Supreme Emperor Body, Lu Changsheng will be no match for you."

Elder Shi knew the competition was over; continuing the argument would only make the Mira Palace look even more humiliated.

"Let's go."

True Lord Dingyang gave the order to leave with the people of the Mira Palace.

"Kid, the Mira Palace isn't so easily offended. You'll regret it."

True Lord Dingyang's voice echoed in Lu Changsheng's ears.

Lu Changsheng was already mentally prepared.

Mira Palace is the number one divine Divine Palace in the Immortal Realm, possessing immense power.

To be an enemy of Imperial Son Ku was almost equivalent to being an enemy of the Mira Palace.

However, the fact that the Mira Palace is in charge of the Heavenly Court means that the Mira Palace values its authority very much and must at least abide by the established rules of the Immortal Realm and not act recklessly.

This gave Lu Changsheng the opportunity to grow.

"Let's go."

The Golden-Armored Heavenly General led 50,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, and followed the Mira Palace away.

Before leaving, the Golden-Armored Heavenly General gave Lu Changsheng a cold glance.

Lu Changsheng's expression was serious.

The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals are a terrifying force directly under the command of the Heavenly Emperor, and they were the key to the Heavenly Emperor's victory over the Devil Master's billions of Demon Soldiers in the Second High Antiquity War.

The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals came from the One Hundred Thousand Divine Palaces, and gathered together a large number of geniuses from the One Hundred Thousand Divine Palaces.

From another perspective, this also means that the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals are also divided into different factions.

This force of 50,000 heavenly soldiers who followed Imperial Son Ku to the Lower Realm should have originated from the Mira Palace.

In other words, this Golden-Armored Heavenly General may have come from the Mira Palace.

The strength of the Heavenly Generals ranges from the God King Realm to the Immortality Realm. The strongest Heavenly General Lu Changsheng has ever seen is Yang Qing.

This Heavenly General's aura was slightly weaker than Yang Qing's, but it was still very strong.

At least for now, Lu Changsheng is definitely no match for him.

Fortunately, Lu Changsheng invited people from various Holy Lands, preventing the Mira Palace from acting recklessly.

"Gentlemen, you have come from afar, and we at the Taihua Sacred Ground should treat you with the utmost courtesy. Please come to the Reception Hall and sample our Taihua Sacred Ground's Enlightenment Tea."

Seeing that the crisis had been averted, and with the arrival of forces from Kunlun Holy Land, Cloud Mountain Holy Land, Yaochi Holy Land, Changliu Holy Land, Ziyang Academy, Torch Dragon Clan, and the High Antiquity Su Family, Lin Xuantong took out Enlightenment Tea to entertain them.

If these forces can be relied upon as external allies, then the Taihua Sacred Ground will have someone to look after it if it encounters any crisis in the future.

Cultivating immortality isn't just about fighting and killing; it also involves human relationships and worldly wisdom.

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

Seeing that Lin Xuantong was willing to take out the Enlightenment Tea to entertain him, True Lord Youran was very satisfied.

Ordinary Enlightenment Tea has little effect on True Lord Youran.

However, even if it is the First-Grade Enlightenment Tea, the True Lord Youran can benefit greatly.

"We should leave now. Chen Yao, you decide when to return to the Divine Palace. But you must come back."

The Palace Master of the Profound Maiden Palace clearly looked down on the Enlightenment Tea, and together with Sword Maiden Qiongxiao, led the Profound Maiden Palace disciples away.

The power of the Profound Maiden Palace is ten times that of the Taihua Sacred Ground.

Even the Taihua Sacred Ground was established by the Human Race Holy Land Taihua Sword Maiden, who broke away from the Profound Maiden Palace; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a branch of the Profound Maiden Palace.

Most importantly, the Profound Maiden Palace has maintained a neutral stance in this conflict. If the Palace Master Profound Maiden Palace and Sword Maiden Qiongxiao stay, it would mean they are supporting Lu Changsheng, which could easily provoke the dissatisfaction of the Mira Palace.

"Lu Changsheng, see you next time."

Yuexi waved to Lu Changsheng.

"Um?"

Xia Ningxue glared at Yuexi.

How come this woman, who became my opponent at the Heavenly Court Assembly, also has feelings for Lu Changsheng?

Yuexi made a face, then turned and left with the people from the Profound Maiden Palace.

"Huazhi, it's rare for you to come all this way, please stay a few more days."

Lu Changsheng tried to persuade Mo Huazhi to stay.

He could then bestow upon Mo Huazhi a batch of the Confucian Sect Law Treasures.

Mo Huazhi nodded. "Yes."

This is our first time visiting the Taihua Sacred Ground.

Who would have thought that Uncle Mo was actually Disciple of the Taihua Saint?

"The Master also spoke highly of Saint and urged us to do our utmost."

"I've heard that Master had some connection with Lin Shiyun Taihua Sword Maiden who founded the Taihua Sacred Ground."

The Confucian Scholars from the Ziyang Academy entered the Taihua Sacred Ground, looking around curiously.

Liu Yiyi, the Saintess leading the Yaochi Holy Land, timidly asked Lu Changsheng, "Um..."

"You want to know where Aotian is, right? Just go to Yuntai Peak."

Lu Changsheng knew that Liu Yiyi had brought a team with two purposes: one was to help, and the other was to see Dugu Aotian.

The two had a close relationship in private.

It has to be said that Dugu Mietian stole the previous Yaochi Saintess, and his son, Dugu Aotian, has a very close relationship with the current Yaochi Saintess. They are indeed related by blood.

Liu Yiyi blushed slightly. After explaining things to the people of Yaochi, she went to Yuntai Peak alone.

Lin Xuantong, the Household Ancestor Lin, and others received guests from various Holy Land in the reception hall.

He also brought out the precious Enlightenment Tea to make friends with geniuses from all walks of life.

"This competition has proven that my disciple's strength has surpassed that of his master. I plan to hand over all affairs of the Holy Land to Changsheng soon."

After several rounds of drinks, Lin Xuantong announced his decision.

Lin Shiyu, True Lord Youran, and other Great Expert were not surprised at all.

Lu Changsheng's demonstrated strength even surpassed that of Lin Xuantong, so it's not surprising that Lin Xuantong yielded his position to his disciple.

The disciples of Kunlun Holy Land and Cloud Mountain Holy Land were dumbfounded.

Lu Changsheng has only been cultivating for a short time, yet he is already about to succeed Lin Xuantong and take charge of the Taihua Sacred Ground!

The last place to do this was the Moon Palace.

With Xia Ningxue as an example, the crowd wasn't so surprised.

Jiang Sheng, Jiang Yu, and the others looked rather grim.

The Lin Household clan was already more powerful than the Jiang Clan.

Now that an outsider has arrived and even become the Sacred Lord, won't the Jiang Clan have even less say in the Taihua Sacred Ground?

"Master, for the next period of time, I plan to follow Elder Su in cultivation and will be unable to attend to the trivial matters of the Holy Land."

Lu Changsheng had little interest in taking control of the Holy Land.

The second encounter with Imperial Son Ku served as a wake-up call for Lu Changsheng.

Imperial Son Ku was indeed very strong.

With the Supreme Emperor Body and the Creation Divine Art, if Xia Ningxue hadn't secretly channeled True Qi into Lu Changsheng and shared the damage using the Enduring Affection Art, Lu Changsheng would very likely have been defeated by Imperial Son Ku.

The Creation Divine Art is divided into nine Heavenly Realms. Imperial Son Ku only mastered the first Heavenly Realm of the Creation Divine Art, which brought unprecedented pressure to Lu Changsheng.

If Imperial Son Ku's Supreme Emperor Body were to be fully mastered, and he were to completely master the "Creation Divine Art," then that would be quite terrifying.

Having defeated Imperial Son Ku twice in a row, he indirectly offended the Mira Palace.

Mira Palace refrained from taking action simply out of consideration for appearances.

Lu Changsheng had to be on guard.

Improving one's own strength as soon as possible is the best strategy.

Su Wudi is a High Antiquity powerhouse below the Heavenly Emperor. With Su Wudi's guidance, cultivation progresses much faster.

"It's alright, you go and cultivate. Han'er, you will serve as the Deputy Sacred Lord and assist Changsheng."

Lin Xuantong had already made his plans.

Lu Changsheng is obsessed with cultivating immortality and has little interest in power. Lin Qinghan helps Lu Changsheng handle affairs, but in reality, the Lin Household family still holds power.

"Lin Xuantong is quite lucky. He took on an extraordinary Disciple, and he's also cunning. He knows he can use his Disciple's reputation to elevate the status of the Taihua Sacred Ground and keep power in his own Lineage's hands."

The True Lord Youran Ran saw through Lin Xuantong's intentions.

In fact, having Lu Changsheng marry into the Lin family and form an alliance with their daughter is the best way to ensure the Lin Household family's continued control.

However, since Lu Changsheng already had dao companion, Lin Xuantong made the second-best decision.

Lin Qinghan declined, "Father, you are in your thirties, it would be better if you handled the affairs..."

Lin Xuantong interrupted Lin Qinghan, "I have another important matter to follow up on, Avatar. It's time for you to take charge on your own."

"Yes."

Lin Qinghan had no choice but to agree.

Lu Changsheng noticed something else and secretly transmitted his voice to Lin Xuantong: "Disciple, is there anything I can do to help with the important matter you mentioned?"

Lin Xuantong shook his head. "You really can't help with this."

Although Lu Changsheng was curious about what matter required Lin Xuantong's personal attention, Lu Changsheng didn't press the matter further since Lin Xuantong hadn't elaborated.

The matter that could make Lin Xuantong set aside the affairs of the Holy Land and concentrate on dealing with it must be no small matter.

With Lin Xuantong's meticulous mind and strategic thinking, he must have been confident in his ability to take charge personally.

True Lord Youran was naturally curious, but he also knew that outsiders shouldn't meddle in other people's affairs, so he took a sip of the Enlightenment Tea and said, "Good tea, good tea."

At Yuntai Peak, Yun Qianyue gazed at the departing people from the Mira Palace and Profound Maiden Palace, lost in thought.

A mountain breeze swept by, Yun Qianyue caused the horse-face skirt to sway.

Xu Jing chimed in, "Master was truly superior, forcing back the mobilized Mira Palace. Junior Sister Yun, I remember your former Sects, Heavenly Sect, aimed to surpass the Heavenly Court. How did Heavenly Sect compare to the Mira Palace back then? Hmm? Junior Sister Yun, say something."

Xu Jing that Yun Qianyue was silent, Xu Jing leaned closer, wanting to see what Yun Qianyue was daydreaming about.

Yun Qianyue covered Xu Jing's face and pushed him away. "When our Heavenly Sect was at its peak, it was no less powerful than the Mira Palace."

"Hehe, it's good that you said something, junior sister."

Xu Jing thought Yun Qianyue was hurt by the past again.

"My master is very powerful..."

Yun Qianyue sighed.

At another Daoist Temple on Yuntai Peak, Liu Yiyi met Dugu Aotian.

Because of his identity as the son of the Demon Marshal, Dugu Aotian could not show himself when the people from the Heavenly Court arrived, so he stayed at Yuntai Peak.

He was somewhat surprised to see Liu Yiyi arrive. "What are you doing here?"

Liu Yiyi pouted. "Has it been so long since we last met that you've almost forgotten me?"

"... I wouldn't dare."

"That would be best."

Liu Yiyi observed Dugu Aotian's Daoist Daoist Temple and found that apart from a wooden house, a Pavilion, a pine tree in the courtyard, and a pond, there was nothing else.

Even the furniture was just simple Wooden Table.

This actually put Liu Yiyi at ease.

At least it doesn't smell like a vixen.

"Are you on the verge of a breakthrough?"

Liu Yiyi realized that Dugu Aotian had already become Great Perfection Immortal Emperor, and was only one step away from the God King Realm.

"Almost there. But for some reason, I just can't seem to take that final step."

Dugu Aotian had been in seclusion on Yuntai Peak for a long time, but he was still unable to break through.

Liu Yiyi thought for a moment, "Perhaps you need to go down the mountain to gain experience. How about I accompany you on a journey? I'm also looking for an opportunity to break through."

"How will you explain this to your parents?"

"I told them I'd be training under your master for a while, and I figured my parents wouldn't say anything. I wouldn't be lying to them."

Liu Yiyi thought for a moment, and the news that Lu Changsheng had defeated Imperial Son Ku again would surely cause a sensation Three Realms.

Liu Mufeng and Feng Qing'er were overjoyed to hear that Liu Yiyi was cultivating under the Changsheng Sect.
