The Eve of the Grand Ceremony! (4K)

In the territory of Yejia Mountain, the Great Freedom Buddha and the Flame Light Buddha arrived at the place where Dugu Aotian and the Great Joy Buddha fought, to investigate the matter of the Great Joy Buddha's demise.

A bronze oil lamp appeared in the palm of the Flame Light Buddha.

"Drink."

Flame Light Buddha glared angrily, channeling his Buddhist power into the oil lamp, causing its flame to blaze brightly. Within the flame, a scene of Dugu Aotian and the Great Joy Buddha battling appeared.

The Great Freedom Buddha clasped his hands together. "As expected of the Flame Light Buddha Buddha, the most skilled in tracking techniques at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, this 'Flame Light Tracing Shadows' Divine Ability is truly astonishing. Wait, could these two be...?"

The Great Freedom Buddha recognized Dugu Aotian and Liu Yiyi, who were fighting the Great Joy Buddha amidst the flames.

The Flame Light Buddha asked, "Do you know the origins of these two people?"

The Great Freedom Buddha replied, "If I am not mistaken, one of them is the Disciple of Lu Changsheng, the Taihua Saint Son of Taihua, and the other is the Yaochi Saintess."

Flame Light Buddha was taken aback. "These two are very powerful. I think Great Joy Buddha is in the wrong first, so we have no reason to seek justice for Great Joy Buddha."

The Great Freedom Buddha hesitated. "One of our Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple's Buddhas, a being at the God King Realm, was easily killed, yet we cannot avenge him. How will the world view our Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple in the future?"

The Great Freedom Buddha was startled when he recognized Dugu Aotian.

He had a feud with Lu Changsheng and his disciple, and if Lu Changsheng and his Disciple came to retaliate, he, the Great Freedom Buddha, would be the first to suffer.

It would be better to use the murder of the Great Joy Buddha to stir up conflict between Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple and Lu Changsheng, while still having Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple as a shield.

Flame Light Buddha felt deeply troubled. "This matter is beyond my ability to handle. It would be better to return and report to the Buddha Lord, and ask him to make a decision."

"Good."

The Great Freedom Buddha and the Flame Light Buddha returned to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

However, when they returned to Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, they were horrified to learn that Lu Changsheng, the Taihua Saint, was about to ascend to the throne as the Taihua Sacred Lord.

Dugu Aotian killed the Great Joy Buddha, is now the Personal Disciple of the Taihua Sacred Lord, while Liu Yiyi is the Yaochi Saintess. Both of them have even greater backgrounds. Even if they went to demand an explanation, would the other side pay them any attention?

Moreover, once Dugu Aotian and Liu Yiyi expose the evil deeds committed by the Great Joy Buddha, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple will be even more in the wrong.

The Great Freedom Buddha was already drenched in sweat.

What he did in secret was not much different from what the Great Joy Buddha did.

He had fallen out with Lu Changsheng, but what he should be worried about was Lu Changsheng coming to his door.

"I must find a way to ask the Buddha Lord for help, otherwise I will definitely die if I encounter Lu Changsheng or his Disciple Chen Yi next time."

The Great Freedom Buddha was covered in sweat.

Last time he was defeated by Lu Changsheng, Lu Changsheng was about to kill him when Chen Yi stopped him. Chen Yi wanted to take revenge himself, and he didn't seem to be joking.

The Great Freedom Buddha began to ponder how to protect himself.

In the Heavenly Court, at the Mira Palace, Imperial Son Ku heard that Lu Changsheng was going to succeed him as the Taihua Sacred Lord, and that the news of his defeat by Lu Changsheng once again had spread throughout the Three Realms. He was so enraged that he smashed everything in the room.

Lu Changsheng is in charge of the Taihua Sacred Ground, and if nothing unexpected happens, as long as the Heavenly Emperor is still alive, Imperial Son Ku will remain the Imperial Son for billions of years. Therefore, Lu Changsheng is even less afraid of his status Imperial Son.

No one from the Mira Palace may send congratulatory gifts.

Imperial Son Ku issued an order to the Mira Palace.

The fact that the Mira Palace did not attend Lu Changsheng's enthronement ceremony demonstrates the Mira Palace's stance.

Lin Xuantong had already anticipated this, so he sent an invitation to the Mira Palace to give them face, not expecting Mira Palace to actually come.

In reality, the Heavenly Court and the Holy Lands of the Lower Realm are not closely related.

The Taihua Sacred Ground invited Holy Lands in the Lower Realms.

Five years later, the Taihua Sacred Ground was brightly decorated, and all the disciples were busy preparing.

The upcoming ascension of the new Sacred Lord and Deputy Sacred Lord is a major event for the Taihua Sacred Ground.

The new Sacred Lord is also the number one genius in the Immortal Realm, having defeated Imperial Son Ku twice in a row, and his power has shaken the entire Immortal Realm.

With such a genius in charge of the Holy Land, even ordinary disciples were filled with hope for Holy Land future.

"Haha, Young Friend Lu, the three Law Treasures you entrusted to me to refine have all been reforged."

Elder Wu of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land delivered three Law Treasures entrusted by Lu Changsheng to be reforged on the eve of his enthronement ceremony.

With a wave of his sleeve, Elder Wu summoned three Law Treasures: the Mountains and Rivers Diagram, the Sudden Rain Pear Blossom Needles, and the Soul-Suppressing Bell.

The Mountains and Rivers Diagram is in no different from what it was before it was destroyed; it can be said to be as good as new.

Elder Wu truly lives up to his reputation as Second-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster; his skill is superb, even able to repair the Mountains and Rivers Diagram.

The Mountains and Rivers Diagram is a powerful defensive artifact that has saved Lu Changsheng from danger on multiple occasions; its restoration is worthwhile.

Elder Wu improved the box that launches the Rain of Pear Sudden Rain Pear Blossom Needles, adding a triple Formation inside to enhance its overall performance.

In addition to the main box, there is also a matching box of silver needles.

Lu Changsheng pushed open the wooden box lid. A chilling aura emanated from it, and the sight of the cold light sent shivers down his Lu Changsheng.

There were a total of eighty-one silver needles.

Each silver needle is crafted from Netherworld Sea Ice.

Although the silver needles were small, they contained Formation. Combined with the Netherworld Sea Ice, which was powerful enough to inflict freezing poison on even God King Realm expert, the Sudden Rain Pear Blossom Needles were much more powerful than before, and their grade had surpassed that of Fourth-Grade Dao Artifact.

"My improved Sudden Rain Pear Blossom Needles are comparable to First-Rank Dao Artifact; once the silver needles are drawn, they will kill instantly."

Elder Wu stroked his beard, his self-satisfaction evident in his words.

Anything produced by Elder Wu is guaranteed to be of the highest quality, befitting the title of Artifact Refining Grandmaster.

"I have ingeniously added a Formation within the Law Treasure space of the Soul-Suppressing Bell. When attacked by mental attacks, it can not only defend but also reflect them back, using their own methods against them. However, it should be noted that the Soul-Suppressing Bell cannot defend against the mental attacks of Great Expert, and naturally, it cannot reflect them back either."

Elder Wu introduced the two improved Law Treasure to Lu Changsheng, his head held high and chest puffed out.

Lu Changsheng praised, "Elder Wu's ingenuity and skill are unparalleled. He will surely become First-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster soon, renowned throughout the Three Realms."

"Haha, Young Friend Lu, you flatter me." Although Elder Wu said this, he was still very pleased with the praise from the number one genius of the Immortal Realm. "Young Friend Lu, at such a young age, you are already in charge of the Taihua Sacred Ground. This is truly admirable. If there is any cooperation between our two Holy Lands in the future, Young Friend Lu, please feel free to come to me. I am willing to act as a go-between."

Elder Wu was very respectful to Lu Changsheng.

At such a young age, she has already taken control of a major Holy Land and defeated Imperial Son Ku twice. Her future is limitless, and she could very well be the next Great Expert at the level of the Taihua Sword Maiden.

Moreover, since Lu Changsheng is in charge of the Holy Land, if he were to hand over all the orders for crafting top -Holy Land grade Law Treasure to Elder Wu, Elder Wu would make a fortune from the labor costs.

"That's easy to do."

Lu Changsheng also attaches great importance to the Heavenly Fire Holy Land.

In the world of Artifact Refining, there is a saying, "One Saint, Three Houses".

One Saint is the Heavenly Fire Holy Land.

The three families are the High Antiquity Mo Household, the High Antiquity Gongsun Household, and the High Antiquity Ouyang Household.

Many top-grade magical Law Treasures in the Three Realms were crafted by the Artifact Refining Grandmaster of the "One Saint, Three Houses".

"One Saint, Three Houses" means they even take orders from the Demon Realm and the Yao Realm.

Elder Wu holds a high position in the Heavenly Fire Holy Land.

If you need to repair or forge Law Treasure in the future, you can go to Elder Wu. You can also ask the old monsters of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land to refine a treasure of the Mountains and Rivers Diagram level through Elder Wu.

"Since Elder Wu has come from afar, please stay and participate in the ceremony."

"That's excellent."

Elder Wu stayed behind to visit the Taihua Sacred Ground.

As the day of the enthronement ceremony drew near, representatives from various Sects, Immortal Gate, and Human Race Dynasties arrived one after another, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

The first to arrive were the various Sects, surrounding the Taihua Sacred Ground.

These sects, large Sects, rely on the Taihua Sacred Ground and offer Cultivation Resources every so often. In return, the Taihua Sacred Ground provides protection and distributes Enlightenment Tea Leaf every ten thousand years.

The Taihua Sacred Ground disciple in charge of registering guests at the mountain gate announced, "Qingyangzi, the Sect Master Sage-Proving Mountain, has arrived!"

"The sect Sect Master of Sage-Proving Mountain, his Disciple Daoist Xingjian, and the Nine Peak Masters have arrived."

"Qingyangzi of Sage-Proving Mountain has entered the Immortal Emperor Realm, and his Chief Grand Disciple, Daoist Xingjian, has also achieved the Golden Immortal stage."

"The peak masters of Mount Zheng Sheng, such as Daoist Luo Yu of Azure Dragon Peak and Daoist Xuan Cheng of Heavenly Flame Peak, are also quite powerful."

"It is said that before joining the Taihua Sacred Ground, Sacred Lord Lu cultivated at Sage-Proving Mountain."

"Such a thing exists? Does that mean the people of Sage-Proving Mountain know Sacred Lord Lu?"

"Of course. Didn't you see how respectful the disciples and Elders of Taihua Sacred Ground are to the people of Sage-Proving Mountain? We, like Sage-Proving Mountain, are affiliated with Taihua Sacred Ground, but we don't receive the same treatment, precisely because we lack this connection."

"No wonder."

The Sect Master and Elders of the surrounding Sects, large and small, all cast envious glances at the people from Sage-Proving Mountain.

Lu Changsheng once cultivated at Sage-Proving Mountain for a period of time.

Based solely on this relationship, Sage-Proving Mountain's status surpasses that of other Sects.

The major and minor Sects affiliated with the Taihua Sacred Ground are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.

If the Sect Master is God King Realm powerhouse, then it is a Heaven-level expert.

Sect Master is Immortal Emperor Realm expert, then it is a Earth-level expert.

Sect Master is Great Luo Golden Immortal, then it is at the Profound-Level.

If the Sect Master is Earth Immortal or Heavenly Immortal, then the sect leader is at the Yellow rank.

Originally, Sage-Proving Mountain was only Sects at the upper-level of the Profound-Level. After its Sect Master, Qingyangzi, broke through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, it was promoted to Sects at the Earth rank.

Because of Lu Changsheng's connection to Sage-Proving Mountain, its treatment in the Taihua Sacred Ground is similar to that of a Heavenly-level Sects.

Qingyangzi, Daoist Xingjian, Daoist Luoyu, Daoist Xuancheng, and the other members of the Sage-Proving Mountain group felt the envious looks from the crowd and were quite proud.

Back in the day, Sacred Lord Lu even cultivated on their Sage-Proving Mountain.

"Lu Changsheng's cultivation has really advanced by leaps and bounds. It hasn't been long, and he has already become the Taihua Sacred Lord, while I haven't even broken through to the Immortal Emperor Realm yet."

Daoist Xingjian gave a wry smile.

When Lu Changsheng joined Sage-Proving Mountain, Daoist Xingjian was Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal, and now he has only reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Immortal Realm. As a result, Lu Changsheng has already broken through to the God King Realm and is in charge of the Taihua Sacred Ground.

The difference between people is greater than the difference between people and dogs.

Qingyangzi said, "Your aptitude is already quite good, but Sacred Lord Lu is the number one genius in the Immortal Realm, so you naturally cannot be compared to him. There's no need to be discouraged."

Daoist Xingjian said, "Hehe, Master, I do know that."

"The Changliu Mountain team has arrived."

After being reminded by the disciples of the Taihua Sacred Ground, everyone stood in awe.

Frost-and-Wind Sword, Immortal Changliu.

The Changliu Holy Land is on par with the Taihua Sacred Ground, and its strength far surpasses that of these ordinary Sects.

Many Sect Master, including Qingyangzi, made way for them.

"It was the Immortal Changliu who personally led the team."

"I've heard that the Immortal Changliu has a life-or-death bond with Sacred Lord Lin, so his personal attendance is not surprising."

"Immortal Changliu brought tens of thousands of people to offer their congratulations; he's really giving Lin Xuantong face."

"It's not just the Immortal Changliu; those Sword Saints have incredibly strong auras. They're like unsheathed blades. Once they make a move, it will surely be earth-shattering."

These Sect Master usually held themselves in high esteem, but in front of the Sword Saints of Changliu Holy Land, they felt ashamed of themselves.

Changliu Mountain is famous for producing Sword Saints.

The Sect-Defending Cultivation Method Changliu Holy Land, "Frost-and-Wind Sword," is a unique skill in the Immortal Realm.

Immortal Changliu and Lin Xuantong were from the same era, having cultivated for tens of millions of years. Compared to the High Antiquity monsters, they were still young and fresh.

What's truly terrifying are the Old Sword Saint Immortal Changliu.

These Old Sword Saints possessed a restrained aura, yet their sharpness was undeniable. A single glance from them was enough to send one's soul plummeting into the abyss of the Sword Domain.

Perhaps the Immortal Changliu cannot compare to Lin Xuantong, but the Sword Dao geniuses born in the past of the Changliu Holy Land are even better than the geniuses of the Household Ancestor Lin, Jiang Clan Ancestor, and Lin Beichen of the Taihua Sacred Ground.

"The Changliu Holy Land truly values its relationship with the Taihua Sacred Ground; even the older generation of Old Sword Saints have attended."

"Our Taihua Sacred Ground is bound to prosper even more in the future."

The various Sects, large and small, that were affiliated with the Taihua Sacred Ground were secretly astonished.

"I never expected that even the patriarchs would want to come and see this number one genius of the Immortal Realm."

Immortal Changliu couldn't have imagined that the news of Lu Changsheng defeating Imperial Son Ku twice would spread so far that even the Old Sword Saints of the Changliu Holy Land, who had been in seclusion for many years, couldn't contain themselves and wanted to see this descendant who had surpassed his master.

"After all, he is Peerless Genius who has defeated the Supreme Emperor Body twice. How could we not come and see for ourselves?"

"Indeed. Defeating the Supreme Emperor Body once could be considered lucky, but defeating it twice in a row is extraordinary."

"We old folks want to see if this kid has the potential to become the next Human Race Great Emperor."

The Old Sword Saints chatted amongst themselves, Immortal Changliu and the White Immortal Emperor, completely unable to get a word in edgewise.

"The Yaochi Holy Mother has arrived!"

As the disciples of the Taihua Sacred Ground announced their arrival, everyone turned their attention to them.

After arriving at Changliu Holy Land, the delegation from Yaochi Holy Land also arrived.

To everyone's astonishment, the leader of the Yaochi Holy Land's delegation was none other than the Yaochi Holy Mother!

The Yaochi Holy Mother has cultivated for eighty million years and has been in charge of Yaochi for many years. Her prestige is extremely high. Her personal attendance is enough to show how much Yaochi attaches importance to this ceremony.

"Even the Yaochi Holy Mother has arrived. This brat is really stirring things up. It seems the Immortal Realm is going to be quite lively this time."

Immortal Changliu saw the Yaochi Holy Mother present, he dared not imagine how many more important figures would appear later.

"She is about to enter the Changsheng Immortality Realm."

"That little girl from back then has made quite a name for herself."

The Old Sword Saints of Changliu Holy Land were discussing among themselves. In the eyes of these old guys, even the Yaochi Holy Mother was a junior.

"The Cloud Mountain Holy Land has been graced by the arrival of the True Lord Youran!"

"The Buzhou Holy Land, the True Lord Diwei has arrived!"

"The High Antiquity Long Household, Long Tianyu, has arrived!"
