However, Mastery of Five Thunders Divine Ability also made it much easier to improve his cultivation.
A thought flashed through Gu Changsheng's mind.
Although the Heavenly Immortal realm was still the lowest realm in the Great Desolation.
The control of Law power meant that even when Gu Changsheng cultivated to higher levels, reaching the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm would be much easier.
Such a realm could only be attained through great perseverance and great fortune.
But Gu Changsheng's aptitude and talent had both improved considerably.
Therefore, Gu Changsheng had no concerns for the time being.
He immediately opened the system panel.
"Host: Gu Changsheng!" "Realm: Heavenly Immortal Great Perfection" "Combat Power: 13568" "Cultivation Technique: Jade Purity Immortal Art!" "Magical Treasures: Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, Void Box!" "Status: Essence, Qi, and Spirit (Full)"
Looking at the system panel, Gu Changsheng smiled faintly.
Having broken through the Heavenly Immortal realm, his combat power had also soared.
"Not bad."
Gu Changsheng smiled and intended to cultivate diligently for a while longer.
Suddenly, just as Gu Changsheng was preparing to cultivate.
A clap of thunder abruptly rang out.
Purple heavenly lightning appeared in midair.
Gu Changsheng suddenly looked outside the palace.
Following the thunder, the sound of a bell abruptly rang out as well.
"Is that Master?"
Without time to think further, Gu Changsheng stepped out of Changsheng Palace.
He could hear what seemed to be the voice of a Saint reverberating within the bell chimes.
Gu Changsheng arrived outside Jade Void Palace, upon the vast Daoist grounds.
There, twelve meditation cushions had already been occupied by Guang Chengzi, Chijingzi, and the others.
Only one empty meditation cushion remained.
It was Gu Changsheng's cushion.
He walked over and sat down cross-legged.
When Guang Chengzi, Chijingzi, Grand Unity True Person, and the other disciples saw their Eldest Disciple arrive, they hurriedly bowed to Gu Changsheng.
After all, Gu Changsheng was their Eldest Disciple.
Moreover, he had passed the optimized Mastery of Five Thunders Divine Ability on to them.
Guang Chengzi and the others were deeply grateful to Gu Changsheng.
"Senior Brother Changsheng, a hundred years have passed, and your Dao body has become even more formidable. Have you already broken through the Heavenly Immortal realm?"
Guang Chengzi stared at Gu Changsheng in astonishment.
One had to know that a hundred years ago, Gu Changsheng had only been at the Human Immortal realm, with the foundation of a human Dao body.
Yet only a hundred years had passed, and his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds.
To the point that even Guang Chengzi could no longer discern Gu Changsheng's foundation.
"Senior Brother Changsheng possesses extraordinary comprehension and talent. This junior brother is ashamed of his inferiority."
Chijingzi added.
He too could tell that Gu Changsheng had broken through.
His foundation was so profound that no one could discern it.
Gu Changsheng looked at Guang Chengzi and the others, smiling as he said, "Junior Brothers, your cultivation has improved as well."
Guang Chengzi smiled and said, "Compared to Senior Brother, this junior brother is far too weak."
As he spoke, Gu Changsheng saw through Guang Chengzi's information.
"Name: Guang Chengzi" "Realm: True Immortal Great Perfection!" "Combat Power: 41234" "Status: Essence, Qi, and Spirit (Full)"
True Immortal Great Perfection?
Gu Changsheng's expression froze. Guang Chengzi had broken through several realms as well.
Even Chijingzi's cultivation was steadily advancing.
Gu Changsheng smiled. It seemed these junior brothers, like him, had not wasted a single moment.
As everyone sat cross-legged, Daoist Randeng also walked over.
"A hundred years have passed, and all of your cultivation has improved."
He deliberately, or perhaps inadvertently, glanced at Gu Changsheng.
Then he smiled faintly and said nothing more.
Gu Changsheng sensed Daoist Randeng's gaze.
His information was also revealed to Gu Changsheng.
"Name: Daoist Randeng" "Realm: Early Grand Unity Golden Immortal" "Combat Power: 20,000,000" "Status: Essence, Qi, and Spirit (Full)"
Damn!
Upon seeing Daoist Randeng's information, Gu Changsheng could not help but curse.
Comparisons really did make people furious.
Compared to Ran Deng's combat power, his own was simply worlds apart.
As Gu Changsheng was astonished, Daoist Randeng's arrival caused Daoist Cihang and True Person Puxian to hurriedly approach and bow respectfully.
They appeared exceedingly warm and friendly.
Gu Changsheng chuckled. These people truly could not change their nature.
Compared to the shamelessness of Cihang and the others, disciples like Guang Chengzi and Chijingzi were much more composed.
They merely exchanged a few polite words with Daoist Randeng.
They were nothing like True Person Puxian, who shamelessly fawned over him and asked after his well-being.
However, Gu Changsheng knew that although Daoist Randeng had found a backer in the Chan Sect.
He had also treated the Chan Sect as a stepping stone.
And Gu Changsheng, who was familiar with the Great Desolation, immediately knew that Daoist Randeng would betray the sect.
Therefore, he did not want much contact with Daoist Randeng.
Guang Chengzi, Chijingzi, and the others likewise did not wish to speak much with Daoist Randeng.
Daoist Randeng was no fool. He quickly realized that Gu Changsheng, Guang Chengzi, and the others did not regard him, the Deputy Sect Master, with any importance.
Already narrow-minded by nature, Daoist Randeng said with a forced smile, "Changsheng, I never expected..."
Before Daoist Randeng could finish speaking, streams of misty aura suddenly enveloped the sky above Jade Void Palace.
In an instant, the streams of misty aura transformed into golden lotuses that spun through the void.
Golden light shone brilliantly, accompanied by Mighty Saintly Might.
On the Daoist grounds, Gu Changsheng and the others all looked up.
Auspicious clouds blanketed the sky, and fortunate vapors surged.
As Immortal Music began to play, golden lotuses and Golden Lanterns filled the sky, continuously descending.
Gu Changsheng focused his gaze and saw Primordial Heavenly Venerate, bearing a halo behind his head and clad in seventy-two colors, appear before everyone.
"Disciples greet Master!"
Gu Changsheng led Guang Chengzi and the other Chan Sect disciples in respectfully bowing to Primordial Heavenly Venerate.
In the void, above Azure Nether, Primordial Heavenly Venerate's voice rang out.
"You may all rise."
"Thank you, Master!"
Gu Changsheng and the other Chan Sect disciples answered in unison.
Daoist Randeng also bowed to Primordial Heavenly Venerate. "Greetings, Sect Master."
In the void, Primordial Heavenly Venerate smiled faintly. His voice carried over, shaking past and present.
"You have been Immortals of the Chan Sect for a hundred years. I have gathered you here today to expound the Dao to you. Listen patiently."
"Your disciples shall heed Master's teachings!"
"Good!"
