Within Qingzhou, the Sacred Land of Shu Gate

Located in the southernmost part of Central Province, within the territory of Qing Province.

A spatial tremor ensued.

Soon a portal to the void appeared.

Lu Changsheng landed slowly, breathing in the fresh air, looking refreshed and energetic.

The air outside is definitely the best.

He stretched his back and glanced around at the scenery.

Green mountains and clear waters, a clear sky for thousands of miles, it is extremely beautiful.

Before Lu Changsheng could take out the map, a series of footsteps soon sounded.

This is a narrow, winding path.

Footsteps came from behind Lu Changsheng.

Looking back, a group of people were slowly walking towards them not far away.

Three men and two women.

They were all dressed uniformly in blue robes and each held a flying sword.

Now that he has reached the Golden Core Realm, Lu Changsheng possesses immense Law Power and many extraordinary supernatural Divine Ability.

He could see through the cultivation levels of the five people at a glance.

Three are at the Qi Refining stage, and two are at the Foundation Establishment.

Ha, trash.

"Senior brothers, look! There are people ahead!"

"How could there be someone here?"

Be careful.

The five people quickly noticed him and became somewhat wary. However, when they approached and saw Lu Changsheng, they were all stunned.

The five people stopped a short distance away, their eyes filled with utter shock, as if they had lost their minds.

Clearly, these are just five superficial people who only care about looks.

"May I ask you gentlemen, where is this place? How do we get to the Purple Azure Holy Land?"

Lu Changsheng smiled slightly and asked, but since he was already a Golden Core cultivator, there was no need for him to bow; a simple question would suffice.

If they were to bow, these five people would not be able to bear it.

In an instant, the five of them came to their senses and immediately appeared extremely flustered, bowing hurriedly at the same time.

"We greet you, senior!"

They couldn't see through Lu Changsheng's cultivation level, mainly because Lu Changsheng's appearance was simply too Celestial Person.

They had never seen such a handsome person in their entire lives.

The setting sun shone down, illuminating Lu Changsheng and perfectly highlighting his ethereal, Fallen Immortal aura; his features were beyond description.

It was as if everything around him was setting off his handsome appearance.

Just one glance dispelled all the gloom, and even the flowers, plants, and trees looked exceptionally beautiful.

They had never seen such people before, so they were naturally flustered and seemed somewhat restrained.

"No need for formalities. May I ask you, young friends, where is this place? Where is the Purple Azure Holy Land?"

Lu Changsheng smiled, as if bathed in a spring breeze, and slowly walked over, chuckling softly.

"Senior, this place is within Qing Province, the southernmost part of Central Province. The Purple Azure Holy Land you mentioned is tens of millions of miles away. We do not know its exact location, only its general outline."

Among the five, the oldest-looking man spoke up. He was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and quite handsome, but unfortunately, he was completely outclassed by Lu Changsheng.

"Within Qing Province?"

Lu Changsheng was slightly taken aback. He knew how far Qing Province was from the Purple Azure Holy Land; tens of millions of miles was a bit too much.

"How did we end up in Qing Province territory?" Lu Changsheng couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. This distance was tens of millions of miles, or even hundreds of millions of miles, so it was obviously impossible to proceed to the Purple Azure Holy Land in a straightforward manner.

"I seem to remember there was a sacred place in Qing Province as well."

Lu Changsheng pondered to himself, while the five people stood there, extremely nervous.

It wasn't that they were afraid of Lu Changsheng, but rather that Lu Changsheng was simply too extraordinary, like an immortal. His appearance, temperament, and strength were all unfathomable.

They simply couldn't meet such important figures.

Just like a country farmer encountering Crown Prince, he felt extremely inferior, which is why he was nervous, restrained, and ashamed.

"Young friends, are there any sacred sites within Qing Province?"

Lu Changsheng asked again.

The latter immediately replied.

"Senior, there is a sacred place in Qing Province called Shu Gate Holy Land, which is only three thousand miles away. Do you need someone to guide you? We happen to be heading to Shu Gate Holy City, and we can take you there."

The other person spoke up, and mustered up the courage to offer to lead the way.

Of course, this guide also had some ulterior motives. After all, Lu Changsheng must be a big shot, always talking about the Holy Land. Such a person is definitely extraordinary. If we can get to know him a little, we can also gain some benefits.

Lu Changsheng saw through the other person's thoughts at a glance, but he was not unhappy at all. On the contrary, he thought the other person was quite intelligent.

Knowing how to seize opportunities.

The path of spiritual practice is like this, and so is life. No matter how bad your luck is, you will encounter some opportunities. If you boldly seize them, you will succeed. If you are timid and don't even dare to try, you will only miss one opportunity after another until you live an ordinary life.

Furthermore, meeting each other is a matter of fate.

Lu Changsheng nodded and smiled, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you young friends."

He said this.

The five of them couldn't help but smile.

After all, being able to be with such an extraordinary person as Lu Changsheng, even as a guide, is an honor.

"Senior, please!"

The other party spoke up, asking Lu Changsheng to go first.

"Let's go together, no need for such formalities. I'm used to a leisurely life and don't need to stand on ceremony," Lu Changsheng said softly.

The five of them smiled even more broadly and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The five of them remained silent as they traveled, perhaps due to their nervousness. An hour later, Lu Changsheng broke the silence.

"I still don't know the names and origins of you young friends?"

Lu Changsheng initiated the conversation by asking questions.

"This junior, Li Lingyun, is a disciple of the Green Mountain Sword Sect. I plan to travel to the Shu Gate Holy City to participate in the once-every-ten-year Shumen Apprenticeship Ceremony."

"This junior, Zhang Yun, is a disciple of the Green Mountain Sword Sect. I am accompanying my senior brother to the Shu Gate Holy City to participate in the disciple-acceptance ceremony."

"This junior, Chen Xinyun, is a disciple of the Green Mountain Sword Sect. I am also going to the Shu Gate Holy Land with my senior brother, but I am not going to participate in the disciple-acceptance ceremony. I am just going to join in the fun."

"I am Zhou Xiaoyan, a disciple of the Green Mountain Sword Sect. I'm just here to join in the fun."

"This junior, Xu Xinxin, is a disciple of the Green Mountain Sword Sect. I'm just here to join in the fun."

The five introduced themselves, saying they came from the same sword sect and were going to the Shu Gate Holy City to participate in the Shu Gate Holy Land's disciple recruitment ceremony.

"Why did the three of you just go to join in the fun?"

Lu Changsheng asked curiously.

"Senior, the three of us are dull-witted and have too low a cultivation level. Even if we wanted to participate in the assessment, we would definitely not be able to pass. Let's just go and watch the excitement, and then see if we have a chance to participate in the next disciple recruitment ceremony."

Chen Xinyun said this.

But Zhou Xiaoyan couldn't help but ask.

"By the way, senior, what's your name? What brings you to the Shu Gate Holy City?"

As soon as she said this, Li Lingyun immediately reprimanded her, "Junior sister, you must not inquire about the senior's affairs."

He spoke, giving a reprimand, and then looked at Lu Changsheng, hurriedly saying respectfully, "Senior, please don't blame me. My junior sister has never been down the mountain before and was unaware that she had violated the taboo. I hope that you will be magnanimous, senior."

Clearly, Li Lingyun has been through some things, which is why he is so cautious and nervous.

Lu Changsheng waved his hand and chuckled, "It's alright, it's alright, don't be so nervous."

After saying this, Lu Changsheng looked at Zhou Xiaoyan and replied, "My name is Lu Mu Zhi. I am from Li Province. I am a free spirit who likes to travel. I came to the Shu Gate Holy Land just to check it out."

Lu Changsheng smiled.

"Check-in?"

Everyone was curious and didn't understand what this meant.

But Lu Changsheng was a senior, so even if he didn't understand, he couldn't ask too many questions.

And so, the group chatted idly along the way and soon arrived at the main road of the Shu Gate Holy City.
