Breakthroughs in Succession, the Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting! (4K)

Chen Yao tempered herself with the Nine-Colored Heavenly Lightning and successfully broke through to the God King Realm, spreading out an aura of a Divine Maiden.

[Ding! Your disciple "Chen Yao" has advanced from the Immortal Emperor Realm to the God King Realm. You have received the reward for your Disciple's advancement: Jingxiao Rain-Thunder Sword.]

The system rewarded the Disciple with a special Immortal Sword for achieving a breakthrough.

The silver-white sword blade was adorned with flowing azure lightning, exuding an aura of World-Destroying, yet it also contained a vibrant vitality.

The hilt is simple yet exquisite, and the blade is incredibly sharp.

Lu Changsheng initially judged it to be Fifth-Grade Dao Artifact.

[Jingxiao Rain-Thunder Sword: The silent workings of Heaven, thunder, rain, and lightning; spring's life and autumn's calamity, its changes are endless. Driven by the power of the Mysterious Maiden, it can command wind and thunder, and manipulate Creation. If it absorbs lightning, it can continuously grow stronger.]

"The power of the Mystic Maiden?"

Lu Changsheng doesn't have such a thing.

It seems this sword was given to Chen Yao by the system.

"This sword is a reward I made for you."

Lu Changsheng generously bestowed the "Jingxiao Rain-Thunder Sword" upon Chen Yao.

Thank you, Master.

Chen Yao took the Jingxiao Rain-Thunder Sword, and as she held the hilt in her hand, a feeling of Human-Sword Unity welled up in her heart.

Even before channeling his inner energy, he already felt as if Human-Sword Unity.

This Law Treasure seemed to have been tailor-made for her.

Chen Yao channeled his inner energy and swung his sword forward.

The Sword Qi, accompanied by lightning, swept away everything in its path, shattering mountains and splitting them in two. The Sword Qi stretched for eighty miles, destroying everything in its way.

"What a fine sword."

Chen Yao gently stroked the sword, clearly admiring it.

"Although I don't know the purpose of this Talisman, perhaps you can discover its use."

Lu Changsheng took out a Talisman that was three inches wide and one foot long, and as blue and clear as jade.

Lu Changsheng hadn't discovered any use for the "Profound Maiden Divine Talisman" that the system had rewarded him with a long time ago, so he gave it to Chen Yao as well.

Chen Yao attempted to refine the Profound Maiden Divine Talisman, but the talisman still did not react.

She had no choice but to keep it for now.

Chen Yao cultivates the Cultivation Method of the Profound Maiden Palace, so there's no need for Lu Changsheng to find a special Cultivation Method for this Disciple.

The Cultivation Method the Profound Maiden Palace are the most suitable for Chen Yao.

Legend has it that the Remote Antiquity Great Expert who founded the Profound Maiden Palace, known as the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden," left behind a complete set of Cultivation Method within the Profound Maiden Palace.

The Nine Heavens Profound Maiden Physique is suspected to be the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, so this Special Physique is most compatible with the Cultivation Methods of the Profound Maiden Palace.

Since Chen Yao had no shortage of Cultivation Method, Lu Changsheng bestowed upon her a batch of heavenly materials and earthly treasures for Body Tempering and cultivation improvement.

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Chen Yao the Nineteenth-Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures "Dragon-Shaped Heavenly Origin Fruit," and received an 88,000-fold return reward for mentoring: the Twenty-First-Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures "Origin Soul Sacred Fruit."]

The Dragon-Shaped Heavenly Origin Fruit can help Chen Yao consolidate her Three Souls and Seven Spirits, making it less likely for her Soul Scattered even if she is attacked mentally.

The "Origin Soul Sacred Fruit," Twenty-First-Grade and heavenly materials and earthly treasures rewarded by the system, offers even greater benefits to the Three Souls and Seven Spirits.

Even for Changsheng Never Dies Great Expert, the Origin Soul Sacred Fruit can strengthen their souls, making it priceless.

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Chen Yao Eighteenth Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, "Thunder Pool Spirit Ginseng," and received a 60,000-fold reward for mentoring: Twentieth-Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, "Thunder Pool Giant Spirit Ginseng."]

[Thunder Pool Giant Spirit Ginseng: A giant spirit ginseng that grows in the Forbidden Grounds of the Demon Realm, "Thunder Pool." It absorbs the spiritual power of lightning and can be used for Body Tempering and Qi refining. It is suitable for those with Thunder Spirit Root.]

The heavenly materials and earthly treasures that grow in the Forbidden Grounds of the Demon Realm are not easy for Lu Changsheng to obtain without special channels.

Whether used by Chen Yao for Body Tempering, or by Lu Changsheng and other disciples, it provides a significant improvement.

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Chen Yao the Sixteenth Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures "Thunder Yak Blood," and received a nine-million-fold return reward for mentoring: the Twentieth-Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures "Thunder Qilin Blood."]

"This is really good stuff."

Lu Changsheng has obtained a new heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Like the blood of the fire qilin, the blood of the thunder qilin is the blood of a divine beast. It has many wonderful uses, whether for tempering the body or as a material for refining top-grade pills.

The more powerful the Thunder Qilin, the higher the grade of its beast blood.

The Thunder Qilin Blood, rated as a Twentieth-Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures by the system, must have come from a powerful Qilin.

Lu Changsheng had once attended the Yao Realm 'Myriad Races Conference at Qilin Sacred Mountain and was well aware of the Qilin Race's power.

Even the current Demon God originated from Qilin Sacred Mountain.

Unfortunately, the system only returned a few drops of Thunder Qilin Blood.

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Chen Yao Eighteenth-Rank Talisman, "Heaven's Punishment Divine Thunder Demon-Subduing Talisman," and received a ten-thousand-fold reward for Disciple-Teaching Rebate: Twentieth-Grade Talisman, "Nine-Colored Divine Thunder Talisman."]

[Ding! You have failed to reward your Disciple Chen Yao with the Seventeenth Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, "Thunder Dragon Fruit," and the Disciple-Teaching Rebate reward has been lost.]

Lu Changsheng bestowed gifts in success or failure, but ended up with a new batch of treasures.

Rumble.

Three days later, a heavy rain fell on the Qi Clan Tribe, accompanied by thunder.

Chen Yao was consolidating her own realm, the Jingxiao Rain-Thunder Sword suddenly shook violently, flew out of its sheath, and into the air.

Boom!

A thick bolt of lightning struck Jingxiao Rain-Thunder Sword, but was completely absorbed by it.

Despite the continuous lightning strikes, Jingxiao Rain-Thunder Sword remained undamaged, and its aura even grew stronger.

"Incredible..."

Chen Yao noticed the wonder of Jingxiao Rain-Thunder Sword and was secretly amazed.

This means that the Jingxiao Rain-Thunder Sword has almost unlimited potential for growth.

By continuously absorbing lightning, Jingxiao Rain-Thunder Sword is destined to become an unparalleled divine weapon.

"Moreover, it seems to be absorbing the life force from the rainwater."

Lin Qingzhi, standing to the side, was also amazed by the wonder of the Jingxiao Rain-Thunder Sword; the sword lived up to its name.

"Perhaps it can become my Dao-Proving Law Treasure."

Chen Yao grew increasingly fond of this Long Sword.

Whenever there is a thunderstorm, Chen Yao summons the Jingxiao Rain-Thunder Sword, allowing it to absorb the destructive power of lightning and the life force of rain.

Although ordinary lightning provides only a limited boost to Jingxiao Rain-Thunder Sword, every little bit helps, and the cumulative improvement over the years should not be underestimated.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

Ten thousand years after Chen Yao's breakthrough, Mo Huazhi also made a breakthrough in her understanding of Confucian Dao, and successfully broke through as well.

The system rewarded me with a top-grade inkstone called "Heaven's Mandate Ink".

This precious inkstone contains the Great Dao of heaven and earth, and its fragrance permeates the air.

Calligraphy is of paramount importance to the Confucian Sect practitioners.

The artistic conception condensed in the finest ink is amplified many times over.

Mo Huazhi already possesses the demeanor of Great Confucian.

If she breaks through another major realm, Mo Huazhi will be able to become Confucian Sect Saint.

The Confucian Sect Saint are the highest-ranking figures in Confucian Dao and Daoism, wielding immense influence within the Confucian community.

The core fighting force of the Nine Great Confucian Sects is the Confucian Sect Saint.

Master was the most outstanding among the Confucian Sect Saint, and even one of the founders of Confucian Dao, holding a higher status than ordinary Confucian Sect Saint.

Mo Huazhi could rival Master, she might even be able to establish her own school and create the tenth Confucian Sect.

Of course, that's too far off; let's focus on dealing with the catastrophe that will Calamity the Three Realms first.

Thirty thousand years passed after Mo Huazhi, and Shen Xiaoyao and Tang Ling’er both broke through to the next level.

Shen Xiaoyao possesses Pure Yang Body, while Tang Ling’er possesses Pure Yin Body. The two work together to cultivate the "Sun, Moon, and Stars Cultivation Method," achieving synchronized cultivation levels and breaking through to the next level hand in hand.

When individuals with Pure Yang Bodies and Pure Yin Bodies Tribulation Transcendence, the Yin and Yang energies actually formed a huge vortex that slowly rotated.

From an aerial view, the Yin-Yang Qi form a Taiji Diagram, which neutralizes the power of Heavenly Tribulations.

"I need to work even harder to keep up with Brother Xiaoyao and Elder Sister Ling'er. But my aptitude is not as good as theirs, and no matter how hard I try, it will be difficult to catch up. If my cultivation falls behind, I will become dispensable..."

Seeing that Shen Xiaoyao and Tang Ling’er were about to successfully Tribulation Transcendence, Wu Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief for them, but at the same time fell into confusion.

Wu Wan'er found Lu Changsheng and explained her predicament to Lu Changsheng.

Because of his Personal Disciple Shen Xiaoyao, Lu Changsheng would occasionally give Tang Ling’er and Wu Wan'er guidance in their cultivation, and would also bestow treasures upon them from time to time.

Like Tang Ling’er, Wu Wan'er is now Outer Sect Disciple of Lu Changsheng.

Wu Wan'er also wanted to contribute, but she didn't have Special Physique comparable to those with Pure Yang Body or Pure Yin Body.

"If normal cultivation isn't enough to catch up with them, perhaps we can take another Great Dao, such as the divination method of the Alluring Beauty Palace. If one can deduce the secrets of heaven, even if one's cultivation is inferior to theirs, it can still be of use."

Lu Changsheng pointed out another Great Dao to Wu Wan'er.

The Deduction Method of the Alluring Beauty Palace is also one of the Three Thousand Great Daos, and its role is no less significant than that of the other Great Daos.

This can be seen from the transcendent status of the Alluring Beauty Palace in the Three Realms.

Wu Wan'er may achieve something in this Great Dao.

"Please teach me, Master."

Wu Wan'er cheered up when she learned that she could also help Shen Xiaoyao and Tang Ling’er.

Lu Changsheng bestowed upon Wu Wan'er a batch of Cultivation Method from the Alluring Beauty Palace.

These Cultivation Method weren't given to Lu Changsheng by the Alluring Beauty Palace. Rather, Lu Changsheng would usually reward his Disciples with various Cultivation Method, and sometimes the system would return Cultivation Method from various Holy Lands, Sects, and Immortal Dynasties, including those from the Alluring Beauty Palace Cultivation Method.

Changsheng Sect has few Disciples who specialize in divination, so it's good to let Wu Wan'er practice divination; she might be useful in the future.

Just as the chieftain of the Qi Clan Tribe cannot protect his people at all times, Lu Changsheng cannot always appear by his Disciples' side to save them from the impending Calamity of the Three Realms.

Even if these Disciple work together, they still need to possess a sufficiently strong ability to protect themselves.

Having obtained the Cultivation Method, Wu Wan'er began to cultivate and deduce the Great Dao.

[Ding! Your disciple "Shen Xiaoyao" has advanced from the Immortal Emperor Realm to the God King Realm. You have received the Disciple's realm advancement reward: Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting.]

After Shen Xiaoyao and Tang Ling’er successfully broke through to the God King Realm together, the system's cold notification sounded, and Lu Changsheng received a painting scroll.

The Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting is quite similar to the Mountains and Rivers Diagram, both being magical Law Treasure in the form of calligraphy and painting.

The difference is that the Mountains and Rivers Diagram depicts vast mountains and rivers, forming a world of its own that can devour everything, while the Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting is a portrait.

On the scroll, a celestial master with a stern and ferocious face holds a sword and glances sideways, as if about to pounce.

"This Law Treasure... is a bit strange."

Lu Changsheng attempted to refine this Law Treasure, but the Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting remained unmoved.

The Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting looks like an ordinary scroll painting.

Lu Changsheng viewed the system's description of the Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting.

[The Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting: The Heavenly Master Sect Sect-Guarding Treasure, later lost.]

The Heavenly Master Sect Sect-Guarding Law Treasure?

Heavenly Master Sect?

Lu Changsheng knew this.

Wu Wan'er Tribulation Transcendence Ascension the Immortal Realm, joining the Heavenly Master Sect. Later, she saved Shen Xiaoyao, Shen Xiaoyao suffered temporary amnesia and also joined the Heavenly Master Sect.

The Yellow Dragon Mountain Heavenly Master Sect is by no means a weak immortal Immortal Gate. It has produced many God King Realm powerhouse, and even Great Expert. Its strength and foundation are second only to the Human Race Holy Land.

The Heavenly Master Sect's Sect Master, True Lord Qingxu, was God King Realm powerhouse. He was a prominent figure of the same era as Lu Changsheng's master, Lin Xuantong, and was once ranked seventh on the Qilin Ranking, making him quite famous.

Shen Xiaoyao still retains his identity as a disciple of the Heavenly Master Sect. If Shen Xiaoyao returns to the Heavenly Master Sect, he may become the new Sect Master and take charge of the Heavenly Master Sect.

It turns out that the Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting was actually a lost ancestral treasure of the Heavenly Master Sect.

The Heavenly Master Sect was careless; they even lost such a valuable treasure.

The Celestial Master's Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting, as the Heavenly Master Sect's Sect-Guarding Treasure, is likely no less powerful than the High Antiquity Han Clan's Sect-Guarding Treasure, the "Mountains and Rivers Diagram."

As far as Lu Changsheng knew, the Heavenly Master Sect had produced many powerful figures in High Antiquity, and its foundation was stronger than that of the High Antiquity Han Clan. The value of its Sect-Guarding Treasure could not be low.

However, since it is Sect-Guarding Treasure, why did Lu Changsheng's attempts to refine it yield no results?

Lu Changsheng pondered for a while, then suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him, and he understood.

"It most likely requires the Heavenly Master Sect's unique Mnemonic to use."

Lu Changsheng once stole Dantai Meng's Dao Artifact Law Treasure, the "Eternal Dream Bell".

Eternal Dream Bell has a specific Mnemonic.

To prevent their Law Treasure from being stolen or lost, those who create Law Treasure will set up unique Formations inside Law Treasure. The Law Treasure require specific Mnemonic to be used, or, conversely, reciting the Mnemonic will return the Law Treasure to the user.

As the Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting Sect-Guarding Treasure passed down through generations of the Heavenly Master Sect, it is indeed very likely that it contains a corresponding Mnemonic.

Therefore, the only way to find out the corresponding Mnemonic for activating the Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting is to consult the Heavenly Master Sect Master, True Lord Qingxu.

Unfortunately, Lu Changsheng was cultivating in the Chaotic Realm and could not return to the Immortal Realm, let alone go to the Yellow Dragon Mountain Heavenly Master Sect to inquire.

"If I go to the Heavenly Master Sect to ask for the Mnemonic, Heavenly Master Sect will know I obtained the Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting. Then I'll have to explain why I obtained their Sect-Guarding Treasure. And it's even possible they'll take it back. The only solution is probably to bestow the Heavenly Master Sect Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting upon Shen Xiaoyao. Shen Xiaoyao is also a disciple of the Heavenly Master Sect, so having their Heavenly Master Sect's Sect-Guarding Treasure in his possession would be like returning it to its rightful owner. Shen Xiaoyao Shen Xiaoyao then return to the Heavenly Master Sect and obtain the Mnemonic for using the Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting."

After a moment's thought, Lu Changsheng decided to bestow the Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting upon Shen Xiaoyao, and then have Shen Xiaoyao go to Yellow Dragon Mountain to retrieve the Mnemonic.

"This... could this be the Sect-Guarding Treasure the Heavenly Master Sect, lost for many years?!"

Shen Xiaoyao obtained the Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting and immediately recognized this precious treasure.

Lu Changsheng asked curiously, "How did the Heavenly Master Sect lose this Law Treasure?"

Shen Xiaoyao explained in detail, "This Law Treasure was originally the Heavenly Master Sect's Sect-Guarding Treasure. Later, when it was passed down to the Ninth-Generation Sect Master Sect Master, he lost a bet to an outsider and was forced to hand over the Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting to that person. To save face, he had no choice but to announce that it had been lost. This matter has always been a taboo subject for the Heavenly Master Sect."

Lu Changsheng was speechless.

Good heavens, the Ninth-Generation Sect Master of the Heavenly Master Sect can even lose the Sect-Guarding Treasure to an outsider; there's no one else like him.
