The Immortal Ruins Emerge
"Junior Brother Lu, are you cultivating?"
Lu Changsheng was considering how to obtain Immortal Artifacts when a voice came from behind him; it was his senior brother Zhao Wuyan secretly transmitting his voice.
What brings you here, Senior Brother Zhao?
"Recently, Emergence of the Immortal Ruins in the Northern Border of Desolate Province, causing quite a stir among the Six Great Sects. Don't you know, Junior Brother Lu?"
"Immortal Ruins?"
Lu Changsheng had read about the relevant records in the Mount Shu classics.
The so-called Immortal Ruins are actually the cave abode where High Antiquity Great Expert once cultivated. After failing to Ascension or Tribulation Transcendence, the cave abode became ownerless and may contain rare treasures or inheritances.
Every time the Emergence of the Immortal Ruins, the Six Great Sects and the Four Great Demonic Sects send people to explore them.
Some Immortal Artifacts or Immortal Stage Cultivation Method were obtained from the Immortal Ruins.
The era in which the masters of these Immortal Ruins lived was even longer than the history of the Six Great Sects.
When the Sect Master of the Six Great Sects Ascension or fail to Tribulation Transcendence, their treasures and inheritances will only remain within their Sects, so there will be no Immortal Ruins outside.
Although the Immortal Ruins are currently unclaimed, their former owners may have left behind various Formations and mechanisms, making it sometimes extremely dangerous and a place where one has a slim chance of survival.
If all Six Great Sects and Four Great Demonic Sects send people, a great battle may break out within the Immortal Ruins.
"Based on the location of this newly emerged Immortal Ruins, the Six Great Sects speculate that the owner of this Immortal Ruins is very likely the cave abode of a High Antiquity cultivator known as the Divine Wood Immortal Emperor."
"Only cultivators below the Void Refinement Realm Divine Wood Immortal Ruins. The Six Great Sects suspect that this is a legacy left by the Divine Wood Immortal Emperor, and they are deliberately selecting successors below the Void Refinement Realm. The Sect Master plans to send the Senior Brother to lead a team to the Immortal Ruins to investigate. Do you want to go?"
Zhao Wuyan explained the situation in just a few words.
The inheritance of the Divine Wood Immortal Emperor? Only cultivators below the Void Refinement Realm can enter?
Lu Changsheng is invincible in the Dao Palace Realm; if he enters this Immortal Ruins, he will be like a fish in water.
"Um."
With the Senior Brother leading the team, plus my own cultivation level and a set of top-grade magic Law Treasures, there shouldn't be any danger, right?
"Haha, with Senior Brother and Junior Brother Lu going together, I'll join in the fun too. The inheritance of the Immortal Ruins isn't necessarily related to cultivation level; it's more about compatibility. Maybe I'll get incredibly lucky and obtain the inheritance of the Divine Wood Immortal Emperor. I've had some insights lately, and my cultivation has reached the Sixth Layer of the Dao Palace Realm. I can be of help."

Zhao Wuyan loves stirring things up, and with the Emergence of the Immortal Ruins, it's impossible for him not to get involved.
"The Immortal Ruins are definitely dangerous, but fortunately I have the True Martial Sword, the Qilin Cloud-Pattern Daoist Robe, and various Medicinal Pills Talisman. I have countless ways to protect myself."
"For this trip to the Immortal Ruins, a cultivation level of the Dao Palace Realm, Eighth Layer is not yet reliable. It would be best to reach the Dao Palace Realm Ninth Layer before setting off, which would be truly secure."
Lu Changsheng had only been at the Dao Palace Realm, Eighth Layer for a few months when the large amount of cultivation Disciple-Teaching Rebate brought Lu Changsheng to the brink of another breakthrough.
The Six Great Sects will likely send Dao Palace Realm Elders into the Immortal Ruins to try and obtain their inheritance.
As long as even one person succeeds, the Sects will benefit from it.
"What if we bring our disciples along?"
Lu Changsheng used three opportunities to simulate the lives of his disciples, assuming he would take each disciple to the Immortal Ruins.
"The simulation results for both Lu Qinglian and Mo Huazhi are extremely ominous. If they go to the Immortal Ruins this time, there's a high probability something bad will happen."
"The simulation results for our Eldest Disciple, Lin Qingzhi, were unexpected. We should take him along for this training trip."
After seeing the simulation results, Lu Changsheng chose to take his Eldest Disciple out of the mountain for training. Along the way, he could continue to reward him and Transmission Empowerment, and he could also simulate Lin Qingzhi's future to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune.
"Besides continuing cultivation, we should continue to bestow treasures, hoping to find an Immortal Artifact."
Lu Changsheng continued his silent cultivation on Azure Cloud Peak.
At Myriad Sword Peak, Li Changye was summoned by the Sect Master.
"This time, the Emergence of the Immortal Ruins is uncertain, even for your master. You, Wu Chuan, and Changsheng will lead the team into the Immortal Ruins. You must be extremely careful. At the same cultivation level, there shouldn't be many who can rival you. Changsheng has recently been learning the Taiqing Wuji Art from me and will soon comprehend the Seventh Layer. If you can't handle the task alone while exploring the Immortal Ruins, you can trust him."
"This disciple will remember. Junior Brother Lu's cultivation speed is too fast; he's almost catching up with me."
"The Dao Ancestor in a dream, imparting to him the Taiqing Wuji Art. Although his cultivation improvement was inconceivable, it was definitely not due to practicing Evil Dao. As long as that's the case, I can rest assured."
Taiyuan True Person didn't mind his disciple's rapid progress in cultivation, as long as it wasn't through unorthodox or heretical Cultivation Methods.
Lu Changsheng's cultivation is progressing by leaps and bounds, which is undoubtedly a good thing for Mount Shu.
Besides Li Changye, Mount Shu has another young pillar of strength.
Taiyuan True Person will eventually Tribulation Transcendence. Regardless of his success or failure, he will no longer be able to protect Mount Shu. At this time, Li Changye, Lu Changsheng, and others will need to step forward.
"There's no time to lose. You'll lead the team to set off in three days. To prevent the Demon Sects from attacking halfway, I will escort you inside. If you encounter any danger inside, come out immediately."
"Your disciple will remember this."
After receiving instructions from Taiyuan True Person, Li Changye flew away on his sword and returned to his cave abode to prepare Medicinal Pills, Talisman, and Law Treasure.
"I must go to the Immortal Ruins. In the meantime, you will stay in your cave abode and cultivate diligently."
"Master, I want to go with you and try my luck at finding a connection with the immortals."
Xiao Xiangdao returned to Mount Shu and broke through to the First Layer of the Nascent Soul Realm. However, Xiao Xiangdao defeated by Lin Qingzhi's sword, which left him with a lingering sense of resentment.
With the Emergence of the Immortal Ruins, if he could obtain its inheritance, he could leave Lin Qingzhi far behind.
"The Immortal Ruins are riddled with traps and mechanisms; even I am not entirely confident of success. Although you have entered the Nascent Soul Realm, the Immortal Ruins are far too dangerous for you. Are you sure you want to go?"
"Disciple is going."
"All right."
Li Changye did not refuse Xiao Xiangdao's request.
The concept of predestined affinity with immortals is mysterious and difficult to explain.
At Azure Cloud Peak, Lin Qingzhi was once again summoned to Lu Changsheng's cave abode.
"Three days from now, I will be going to the Divine Wood Immortal Ruins to investigate. You have a destiny for immortality, so I have decided to take you with me."
"This disciple fears that I will hold my master back."
Lin Qingzhi also knew that the Immortal Ruins were extremely dangerous. As a cultivator in the Early Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, he had virtually no chance of gaining anything from it, and might even distract Lu Changsheng from taking care of him.
"I'll take you there because I have my reasons. You only need to protect yourself."
Lu Changsheng remained indifferent.
He had already simulated his Disciple's experience beforehand, and taking Lin Qingzhi there would be beneficial and harmless.
Lu Changsheng had previously bestowed upon Lin Qingzhi a large number of Medicinal Pills and Talisman. Although Lin Qingzhi was only at the Nascent Soul Realm, his ability to protect himself was no less than that of the Dao Palace Realm cultivator.
"In these three days, I will bestow upon you some more Law Treasures to save your life."
Lu Changsheng continued to find reasons to reward his disciples with Law Treasures.
Besides Flying Swords, Lu Changsheng also tried to bestow other types of Law Treasures.
