Then I'll tell you, but you can't spread it around

"Chang Sheng, things have come to this point. You no longer need to refuse the position of Holy Lord. We have already discussed this matter. We are here not to negotiate with you, but to inform you. Do you understand?"

It was rare for Qingyun Daoist to speak in such a forceful tone.

"Disciple understands."

Lu Changsheng, who had lost all will to live, had no more ideas. He might as well accept the job. Wasn't he happy about the promotion and raise?

"In that case, you all should go and make arrangements for the coronation of the Holy Lord. I have some matters to discuss with Changsheng."

Qingyun Daoist spoke, his tone calm.

"Yes!"

The elders didn't say much, nodded, and then left.

Soon after everyone left, Qingyun Daoist quickly stepped down from his high seat.

She looked at Lu Changsheng with a face full of heartache.

"Chang Sheng, you've lost weight."

Qingyun Daoist's eyes were filled with heartache, as if he had been working away from home and had just returned.

"I haven't lost weight, Master is overthinking it."

Lu Changsheng shook his head.

Qingyun Daoist sighed and said, "Changsheng, please don't blame your master for doing this. In fact, I was forced into this situation."

This is what Qingyun Daoist said.

"How could I possibly blame my master!"

Lu Changsheng didn't blame his master, but he felt that making him the Holy Lord so early was a bit too extravagant.

"Chang Sheng, your master may ascend to immortality in a few days."

However, Qingyun Daoist's next words astonished Lu Changsheng.

Ascension?

Seeing Lu Changsheng's surprise, Qingyun Daoist nodded and said, "Actually, I was going to ascend to immortality many years ago, but I have been suppressing my cultivation level. However, now that the time is ripe, I must undergo the tribulation."

"I see."

Now Lu Changsheng finally understood why his master had passed the position of Holy Lord to him; it turned out he wanted to ascend to immortality.

This is a good thing.

Can I come with you?

"Chang Sheng, you must be the thirty-third sect leader of the Great Luo Holy Land. Only you are capable of this role. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid the entire Holy Land would not accept it."

"Actually, I wanted to help you suppress it for a while longer, but recently the world has changed drastically. If we delay any longer, I may not be able to survive the heavenly tribulation."

"I am a Daoist priest," said Qingyun Daoist calmly.

"Can't get through it?"

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised. Although he knew that transcending the tribulation was difficult, he did not expect that even someone as powerful as Qingyun Daoist could not overcome it.

"Given the current situation, we are 90% confident, but if we delay any longer, we may not even be 50%. Changsheng, you used the sacred words of the Great Dao to revive the Spiritual Qi in the cultivation world. With more Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, the difficulty of transcending the tribulation will also increase."

"So I had no choice. Otherwise, I would have been willing to continue guarding for another five hundred years. After five hundred years, you will be truly invincible, and there will be no worries about the future."

Qingyun Daoist's words made Lu Changsheng understand.

"Understood. In that case, disciple hereby congratulates Master in advance on your ascension and attainment of enlightenment."

Lu Changsheng said from the bottom of his heart.

"Well, stay in the Holy Land these days and familiarize yourself with your new identity. Your master has to go out for a while."

Qingyun Daoist spoke.

"Go out?"

Lu Changsheng was somewhat curious.

"Chang Sheng, although our Great Luo Holy Land is a holy land and appears to be extremely glorious on the surface, it has also made many enemies behind the scenes. My purpose in going out on this trip is to eliminate some potential dangers for the Great Luo Holy Land."

"At least it can ensure that the Great Luo Holy Land will not encounter any problems for five hundred years. Five hundred years is also enough time for you to grow properly and cultivate the next Holy Lord. In this way, the Holy Land will not decline so quickly."

Qingyun Daoist was very direct and stated his reason for going out.

"Understood. When will Master ascend to immortality?"

Lu Changsheng nodded. He didn't stop him or say anything more. He was an adult now, so his thoughts wouldn't be so childish. However, he did ask about the ascension time.

"Twenty days later, you will inherit the Holy Lord's position five days later."

"That's what Qingyun Daoist replied."

Soon, so soon that Lu Changsheng was indeed unprepared.

But Lu Changsheng didn't say much.

With the world undergoing great changes, it's better to ascend sooner rather than later, to avoid any problems later.

After a while, Qingyun Daoist continued to speak.

"Alright, you must be tired this time too. Go back and get some rest."

"In that case, this disciple will take his leave."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Since my master is about to ascend to immortality, I need to do some research on it. If he really can't make it, I have to lend a hand and not just stand by.

And after Lu Changsheng left.

Qingyun Daoist sighed.

Then a celestial sword appeared in his hand; it was the Great Luo Immortal Sword.

He didn't say much, but moved slightly and then disappeared, leaving the Great Luo Holy Land.

Clearly, the world will be in turmoil during this period.

If a cultivator who is about to ascend were to go on a killing spree, countless people would die. However, for the safety of the Great Luo Holy Land, sometimes certain things must be settled.

Whether or not we make enemies is no longer important.

It's all about following the right path or coming from a prestigious family.

Whether it 'Outer Dao or heretics.

No one wants the tradition to be lost.

There are some things that must be done, and some people that must be done.

There is no such thing as a peaceful and carefree life; it's just that someone is bearing the burden for you.

As Lu Changsheng walked out of the Great Luo Palace, he gazed at the entire Great Luo Holy Land, his emotions fluctuating slightly.

Meanwhile.

Red Dust Peak.

This is where the outer disciples of the Great Luo Sect reside.

At this moment, Red Dust Peak was packed with people, not only outer disciples, but also inner disciple, Core Disciple, and even many True Disciples had gathered here.

In the crowd.

Wang Fugui was surrounded by a crowd.

Everyone looked at Wang Fugui, and voices rose in response.

"Junior Brother Wang, tell me quickly, what kind of Immortal Fate did Senior Brother Lu obtain in the Celestial Origin Holy Ground?"

"Yes, yes, we will definitely not tell anyone, Junior Brother Wang, please tell us."

"Junior Brother Wang, don't you trust us?"

A sound rang out.

Surrounded by the crowd, Wang Fugui was sweating profusely.

Since Lu Changsheng left, he has been surrounded by the disciples of the Great Luo Sect.

At first, I thought they were going to do some kind of introductory program for new disciples.

Unexpectedly, everyone was asking about the Celestial Origin Holy Ground Realm.

Wang Fugui was honest and straightforward, always speaking his mind.

The problem is, after I said it, nobody believed me.

Everyone felt they were lying, and no matter how they explained, no one would believe them.

Later, some inner disciple came and put pressure on him, and Wang Fugui honestly explained.

Then the Core Disciple arrived, and finally all the True Disciple arrived.

The gist of it all is to encourage people to speak the truth and stop hiding their true feelings.

Wang Fugui was a little confused.

He was telling the truth.

"Junior Brother Wang, this is a Yin Yang Jiazi Longevity Pill. After taking it, it can increase one's lifespan by ten Jiazi. I only have three myself. If you tell me, I'll give you this one. How about it?"

One of the True Disciple spoke up, even taking out a elixir to tempt Wang Fugui.

"Senior brother, I'm telling the truth."

Wang Fugui felt somewhat helpless.

He was indeed tempted, but what he said was the absolute truth.

"Oh dear, Junior Brother Wang, why are you just like Liu Qingfeng? Stop hiding."

"Yes, Junior Brother Wang, how about this? This is a top-grade treasure. I'm reluctantly parting with it. As long as you tell me the truth, I'll give it to you. How about it?"

Another True Disciple took out a precious artifact and placed it in front of Wang Fugui.

For a moment, Wang Fugui fell silent!

He was indeed tempted.

After a long pause, Wang Fugui took a deep breath, wiped away his cold sweat, and lowered his voice.

"Then, if I tell you, please don't spread it around."

The sound rang out, and for a moment tens of thousands of people stared wide-eyed.
