Meeting Daoist Wuji, Number One on the True Dragon Ranking! Lu Changsheng!

The Immortal Emperor's Tomb.

Lu Changsheng stepped out of the coffin.

He was like a god; his entire demeanor underwent a complete transformation.

It wasn't just because Body Tempering Three Thousand Times, but because Lu Changsheng had reached the Immortal Lord Realm.

With each advancement in his cultivation level, Lu Changsheng's biggest change was that he became even more handsome than before. If this continued, Lu Changsheng didn't know what to do.

"Big brother, I feel like your current strength is almost surpassing mine at my peak."

Black Tortoise spoke. Although he was only at the Human Immortal Realm, he had once been an Immortal King. He could clearly sense that Lu Changsheng's realm and strength had undergone tremendous changes.

Within his physical body, the sounds of dragons roaring, tigers howling, and thunder rumbling emanated. These sounds were not created by Lu Changsheng himself, but rather were instinctive sounds that would resonate when one's physical body reached its peak of power.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng's overall demeanor has improved considerably compared to before.

But the only thing he knew was that Lu Changsheng was definitely not Immortal King. It wasn't that he saw through Lu Changsheng's realm, but rather it was an intuition, a strange intuition, plus the fact that he was perched on Lu Changsheng's shoulder and could sense something.

"More or less."

Lu Changsheng nodded. His current strength was indeed very strong, but it was a pity that there was no Immortal King to practice against. However, if there was an Immortal King in front of him, Lu Changsheng felt that he would still be able to play it safe.

To be honest, I've cultivated for eighty-two years, so why am I so incredibly lucky? Why do I have such strong connections with Immortal Fate? Why have I been able to sweep through everything in my path? Isn't it simply because I'm steady and composed in the face of adversity? Those who become arrogant and reckless with just a little strength, haven't they all died one by one?

However, the fact that he was able to cultivate the Demon Lord Heavenly Dao Scripture to perfection was largely thanks to the Heavenly Emperor Law.

Without the Heavenly Emperor Law, he would not have been able to deduce the second half. After acquiring the Heavenly Emperor Law, Lu Changsheng forcibly deduced the second half. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to Body Tempering Three Thousand Times.

What's missing now is the fourth supreme mental teaching, the Buddha Scripture.

This is the supreme Buddhist mental cultivation method, which is somewhat tricky. After all, if you practice this method, someone might ask you to convert to My Buddha, which would be awkward.

Thinking about it carefully, the Daoist Canon Scripture was given to me by my master, Qingyun Daoist; the Demon Emperor Scripture was given to me by Qing Feng; and the Demon Lord Scripture came about because I was mistaken for the Demon Emperor. So, if I want to obtain the Buddha Scripture, I'm afraid I'll have to make a trip to the Buddhist Realm.

However, Lu Changsheng soon thought of someone.

"Xuan Xin!"

That's right, it's Xuan Xin.

The debate with Xuan Xin when I was in the Lower Realm is still vivid in my mind, as if it happened yesterday.

Xuan Xin has been enlightened by me and has become a Buddhist disciple. He might even obtain the Buddha Scripture. Wouldn't it be enough to just ask Xuan Xin for them then?

You know what, it actually works!

The more Lu Changsheng thought about it, the more he felt it was a good idea.

After a while, he looked at Black Tortoise and said, "Eighth Brother, let's go."

"Good!"

Black Tortoise didn't waste any words. He had been guarding this place for two years, and now that everything was resolved, he was naturally eager to leave.

"Brother, do you want this coffin? If not, I'll take it!"

Black Tortoise spoke, saying this.

Over the past two years, he has been extremely envious of this coffin, liking it more and more the more he looks at it. If Lu Changsheng doesn't want it, he definitely will.

"Take it."

Lu Changsheng shook his head. Although this Red Coffin made of excellent material and was engraved with 120,000 arrays, it was not a complete magic Law Treasure and could not be considered an imperial artifact. Moreover, its purpose was only to suppress enemies and it did not provide much help to himself.

As for suppression, relying on the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Profound Yellow Pagoda, it can still suppress enemies, and its effect is no less than that of this coffin.

So let's just consider it a gift and give it to Black Tortoise.

"Thank you, brother. Thank you, brother."

Black Tortoise was overjoyed.

Sure enough, it's good to have the right big brother. He even gave me something like this. He's a great man.

"Brother, I'll control the formation and find a way out."

Black Tortoise spoke, then put away the Red Coffin, intending to set up an array.

Lu Changsheng shook his head and simply waved his hand. In an instant, a formation platform appeared in front of the man and the tortoise.

This method is extremely terrifying. Lu Changsheng's array formation skills were also forcibly improved, mainly because he mastered the Star Heavenly Dao, which can be used in many places and has miraculous effects when used to enhance array formations.

And so, Lu Changsheng left this place with Black Tortoise.

South Immortal Realm, Ancient King Great Domain.

With a series of spatial tremors, a spatial gate soon appeared in a place of green hills and clear waters, and then a man in white slowly walked out from it.

Landing on flat ground, Lu Changsheng looked around.

Although I don't know why, every time the array teleports me, I always end up in this beautiful, green place, but it's still a million times better than being teleported to a harsh, cold place.

"Brother, there are people over there."

Just then, Black Tortoise transmitted a message through his Divine Sense, reminding Lu Changsheng that there was someone not far away.

Lu Changsheng looked towards the southeast and saw a figure lying on the ground, being very careful and holding his breath and all his immortal power, making him difficult to spot.

However, Lu Changsheng and Black Tortoise were not ordinary people, and they were able to spot the figure in an instant.

"Should we go over and ask him where this is?"

Black Tortoise asked.

"Good."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Having been teleported from the Immortal Emperor's Tomb, I had no idea where I was. Upon seeing living people, I naturally had to ask them.

"But don't act rashly yet. He seems to be lying in ambush. Let's observe first."

Lu Changsheng transmitted his Divine Sense, then used his Divine Sense to see what the person was doing.

Soon, Lu Changsheng realized what the other party was doing.

Stealing eggs.

Yes, that's right, they're stealing eggs.

Because three kilometers away, there is a bird's nest, the nest of a celestial bird, and a pale red celestial bird is incubating its eggs.

However, at this moment, it seems that he is about to leave the hunting grounds, so this person is lying in wait to steal eggs, which is a bit strange.

"So you wanted to steal eggs, huh? How tasteless."

Black Tortoise understood and thought it was somewhat shameless.

However, Lu Changsheng shook his head.

"In the Immortal Realm, many cultivators are like this. There's no such thing as shamelessness; they're just trying to survive."

Lu Changsheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, this was the Immortal Realm, where Immortal Beast could hunt cultivators, and cultivators could hunt Immortal Beast. The Principle of the jungle was just that cruel.

Of course, stealing eggs is still a somewhat despicable act.

However, now that he knew the other party's intentions, Lu Changsheng didn't plan to wait any longer.

"Fellow Daoist."

Lu Changsheng spoke slowly.

In an instant, the cultivators not far away tensed up and froze.

"Fellow Daoist, I have already seen you. There is no need to hide. I have no hostility toward you."

Lu Changsheng spoke, his tone gentle, for he truly harbored no hostility.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the latter, without uttering a word, transformed into a golden light and vanished, running extremely fast, showing no belief in Lu Changsheng whatsoever.

However, in an instant, Lu Changsheng raised his hand and trapped the man, then appeared directly in front of him, his expression filled with helplessness.

"Fellow Daoist, don't panic. I really have no hostility. I just want to ask you something."

Lu Changsheng was speechless. Was it really necessary to be so afraid?

After being trapped, the latter's face turned very ugly, but when he looked at Lu Changsheng, he was stunned.

He had never seen such a handsome man before. The panic and fear in his heart vanished in an instant. Moreover, Lu Changsheng's voice seemed to have a magical power, calming him down.

After a full incense stick's time, the young cultivator finally came to his senses and looked at Lu Changsheng with utmost respect.

"Wuji Daoist greets Your Excellency."

When Wuji Daoist spoke, he was full of respect, but there was still some panic and fear in his eyes.

The main reason was that Lu Changsheng had such an extraordinary temperament and such a handsome appearance. Even a cultivator from the Celestial Being Race couldn't be so handsome, right? He subconsciously thought that Lu Changsheng was a cultivator from the Divine Race, so how could he not be respectful?

"Wuji Daoist?"

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly. He seemed to have heard of this name before, but he couldn't quite remember it. There was a sense of familiarity about it.

Wuji Daoist nodded and said, "Yes, I am Wuji Daoist of the Little Luo Sect. May I ask what brings you here, Your Excellency?"

Yes, he is indeed the Wuji Daoist.

Two years ago, he left Little Luo Sect, hoping to find some fortuitous opportunity for Qingyun Daoist. Unfortunately, after two years away, he hadn't gained any benefits. He finally found a celestial bird and planned to steal a few eggs to nourish Qingyun Daoist.

Unexpectedly, they were discovered again, which made them feel embarrassed, ashamed, and a little scared.

He feared that this celestial bird was related to Lu Changsheng, and if that happened, wouldn't they be doomed?

The reason why Lu Changsheng didn't know about Wuji Daoist was quite simple: from beginning to end, Qingyun Daoist never mentioned Wuji Daoist, only referring to him as his master. In the Great Luo Holy Land, only some Holy Lord with great achievements have statues left behind; the names of other Holy Lord can only be recorded in the Great Luo scriptures.

Lu Changsheng had nothing better to do than learn about that stuff.

Who would bother looking through family genealogies?

The reason why Lu Changsheng felt somewhat familiar was due to an invisible cause and effect, but Lu Changsheng did not yet know that the Wuji Daoist in front of him was his grandmaster.

"Fellow Daoist Wuji, I would like to ask, where is this place?"

Lu Changsheng asked in a gentle and very polite tone.

"Huh? That's it?"

Wuji Daoist was stunned; he hadn't expected the other party to ask him this question.

However, he answered truthfully nonetheless.

"This place is the Ancient King Great Domain."

This is what the Wuji Daoist said.

"The Ancient King Great Domain?" Lu Changsheng thought about it carefully, then realized he didn't know what kind of place it was.

Are there any ancient cities nearby?

Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

"Yes, there is a Heaven Star Ancient City, 720,000 miles away. It is the main city of the Ancient King Great Domain. Is Your Excellency here to participate in the True Dragon Meet?"

The Wuji Daoist explained, while asking questions, expressing some curiosity.

"The True Dragon Meet?" Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised. He had no recollection of the True Dragon Meet, except that Supreme Mysterious had mentioned it two years ago in a restaurant.

This is a tournament that only True Dragon geniuses are qualified to participate in, but every year it attracts countless talented and powerful individuals.

And judging from this, the True Dragon Meet should be starting, right?

I imagine that Supreme Mysterious and the others will all be coming.

"Understood. Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist. I will give this item to you."

As Lu Changsheng spoke, he took out a long spear that shimmered with silver light. This was a top-grade Golden Immortal Artifact, and also the last Golden Immortal Artifact he had.

"Hiss!"

Wuji Daoist was stunned. He hadn't expected Lu Changsheng to be so generous. He was just casually giving away a top-grade Golden Immortal Artifact?

This is insanely extravagant!

What is the concept of a top-grade Golden Immortal Artifact?

His disciple, Qingyun Daoist, somehow obtained three Golden Immortal Artifacts, which brought him all sorts of trouble, while he himself had worked hard all his life and ascended for thousands of years, yet he only had one low-grade Heavenly Immortal artifact.

Lu Changsheng was given a top-grade Golden Immortal Artifact just for asking for directions.

This is grand! This is extravagant! This is incredibly wealthy.

Wuji Daoist was stunned, standing there dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

"Fellow Daoist Wuji, is this because you look down on me?"

Lu Changsheng spoke up, and in fact, he did not think much of this top-grade Golden Immortal Artifact. However, this was all he had for now, and the other party's realm was only the Heavenly Immortal Realm. A top-grade Golden Immortal Artifact should be enough, right?

In an instant, Wuji Daoist came to his senses and then quickly spoke.

"Your Excellency, you flatter me! How could I possibly look down on a top-grade Golden Immortal Artifact? Thank you, Your Excellency, thank you so much."

How could the Wuji Daoist possibly look down on a top-grade Golden Immortal Artifact?

A top-grade Golden Immortal Artifact! He might never get his hands on one in his lifetime. It's like a beggar who can only beg for a few dozen copper coins a month. Suddenly one day, he runs into a rich man on the street who gives him Treasure Note worth ten thousand taels of gold and asks him if that's enough.

That's definitely enough, enough for ten lifetimes.

Without a word, Wuji Daoist accepted the Silver Spear.

Lu Changsheng was about to leave when Wuji Daoist hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, you were probably in seclusion before, right? You probably don't know many things. Would you like me to take you to Heaven Star Ancient City and tell you about some recent events?"

Wuji Daoist spoke in this way.

After all, Lu Changsheng gave him a top-grade Golden Immortal Artifact. To be honest, Wuji Daoist was a man of some sense. He knew that giving too much was better than doing more work, so he wouldn't be taking things for nothing.

Otherwise, he would feel a little embarrassed to receive a top-grade Golden Immortal Artifact just for asking for directions.

"Oh, in that case, I'll trouble you, Fellow Daoist Wuji."

Lu Changsheng nodded. Having someone lead the way and discuss things along the way was indeed a good idea.

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all, Your Excellency is too kind." Wuji Daoist shook his head repeatedly, then led the way.

Soon, during the journey, the Wuji Daoist asked a question.

"May I ask how many years Your Excellency has been in seclusion? And is Your Excellency from the divine race?"

"About two years ago, I am not a member of the Divine Race, and fellow Daoist need not address me as Your Excellency. My surname is Lu, and my given name Mu Zhi." Lu Changsheng replied gently. For some reason, he always felt that this Wuji Daoist seemed to have some connection with him, but he couldn't figure it out, so he decided to be polite for now, just in case it was some kind of acquaintance.

"In that case, I shall take the liberty of addressing you as Fellow Daoist Lu." Wuji Daoist nodded, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.

"What happened in the South Immortal Realm during the two years I was in seclusion?"

Lu Changsheng was a little curious. Judging from Wuji Daoist's tone, something seemed to have happened.

The latter didn't think much of it and spoke directly.

"Mu Zhi, a lot has happened in the past two years. Since the appearance of an Immortal Emperor's Tomb in the South Immortal Realm two years ago, countless True Dragon geniuses almost died inside. Later, with the help of ten Immortal Kings who controlled ten Immortal Emperor Artifacts, they managed to carve out a passage and rescue these geniuses. After that, the God Race lifted the ban."

This is what the Wuji Daoist said.

"The Protoss have been unleashed?"

Lu Changsheng was curious and didn't understand what this meant.

"Yes, it's the lifting of the ban on the gods. You could say it's the biggest thing that's happened in the last two years."

"In the Immortal Realm, the gods are high above, and it is extremely difficult to see a god cultivator on ordinary days. So at the beginning, we all thought that there were very few god cultivators, so they did not leave the Thirty-Three Heavens easily."

"But after the divine race cultivators were unbanned two years ago, we realized that there were quite a few divine race cultivators. Of course, compared to the human race, they were definitely not as numerous. And since the divine race cultivators were unbanned, the entire immortal realm has been in chaos."

"These God Race Tianjiao are all more arrogant and more ferocious than the last. The first thing they did upon emerging was to challenge all the other prodigies. Do you know Star Child? And Xu Qing from the Azure Cloud Holy Land? And Supreme Mysterious?"

This is what the Wuji Daoist said.

"I know." Lu Changsheng nodded. He knew it, and was quite familiar with it.

"The three of them have been removed from the True Dragon Ranking."

This is what the Wuji Daoist said.

In an instant, Lu Changsheng frowned.

"Removed from the list? Is he dead?"

Lu Changsheng frowned and asked.

"No, it's definitely impossible for him to die. If he did, the Ten Great Holy Lands would definitely be in an uproar. But even though he didn't die, being removed from the True Dragon Ranking is extremely shameful. For someone like him, it's not much better than death."

This is what the Wuji Daoist said.

Why was he removed from the list?

Lu Changsheng asked calmly.

"Naturally, they were defeated and removed from the list by those geniuses of the God Race Tianjiao. Of the seventy-two on the True Dragon Ranking, fifty-two were geniuses of our human race who were removed. Of the remaining twenty, apart from some of the top-ranked ones and a few whose whereabouts have not been found, most of them were removed."

"Oh, right, the ranking on the True Dragon Ranking has also increased to 365th. Ninety percent of the spots are occupied by the geniuses of the God Race Tianjiao, and the remaining less than ten percent are mostly cultivators of the Demon Race and other races. There are only a few human cultivators."

"Alas, our human race has lost all face in the Immortal Realm. I really don't know what to do."

Wuji Daoist sighed, and then explained in great detail.

However, Lu Changsheng remained completely calm. He had nothing to say; if he couldn't win, he couldn't win, and there was no point in explaining it.

There's not much to say since they're all gods; it's impossible for the True Dragon Ranking to forbid gods from participating, right?

Since the True Dragon Ranking has increased to 365, and most of them are God Race Tianjiao, it proves that these prodigies from the God Race Tianjiao are indeed acting according to the rules, and there's nothing more to say about it.

It's nothing more than the human race losing face, but if you fall behind, you'll be attacked. It's impossible to allow only the human race to go up and not allow the gods to go up, right?

Moreover, this kind of thing is actually a good thing, at least it can motivate the human race's prodigies to work hard and strive to surpass their opponents, thus promoting healthy competition.

However, Wuji Daoist continued to speak.

"Actually, it's not a big deal that this happened. The main problem is that some of the gods are too arrogant. In the past two years, they have suppressed the human race's geniuses and even claimed that the human race is not worthy of being included in the True Dragon Ranking."

Wuji Daoist sighed.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Changsheng spoke up.

"I've heard that the number one on the True Dragon Ranking is a human powerhouse. Theoretically, shouldn't he come out to suppress the arrogance of the gods?"

Lu Changsheng asked casually.

"Oh, you mean Lu Changsheng?"

Wuji Daoist spoke.

The next moment, Lu Changsheng was slightly taken aback.

Ha?
