The toxicity of the Divine Vein Land is something that the Divine Realm has never been able to completely eliminate.
Even those few in the Heavenly Palace, the strongest beings in the Divine Realm, although they could resist the poison, were still powerless to eliminate it.
Absorbing too much of it can even affect their cultivation level.
Therefore, the vessel that Lu Changsheng crafted would be considered a top achievement in the current Divine Realm, and no one could rival him for the credit.
This is why even the high-ranking Divine Envoy in the Divine Realm treat Lu Changsheng with kindness.
If things go wrong, Lu Changsheng might become an indispensable figure in the Divine Realm.
At that time, they will Azure Cloud, standing on equal footing with the Divine Envoy... or even surpassing Divine Envoy.
They saw the Divine Envoy leave.
The Heavenly Xing Hall Master then stepped forward and patted Lu Changsheng on the shoulder, his former imposing manner replaced by a broad smile.
The Heavenly Xing Hall Master laughed heartily, "Well done! You have not only rendered a great service to the Divine Realm, but also brought glory to our Heavenly Punishment Hall!"
These words not only praised Lu Changsheng, but also reminded him that he was a member of the Heavenly Punishment Hall.
Lu Changsheng could easily understand, so he cupped his hands and said, "I was able to grow to this level and forge this item because of the Heavenly Punishment Hall. Without the resources of the Heavenly Punishment Hall, Zhongsheng would not have been able to forge this item."
Zhongsheng is the pseudonym Lu Changsheng has adopted; he can't just use Lu Changsheng directly.
Although very few people know the name Lu Changsheng, and even those who do are bound by a restriction placed on them by Lu Changsheng, they still have to be wary.
Hearing that Lu Changsheng was so good at handling things...
The Heavenly Xing Hall Master's smile widened. Who wouldn't like someone so gifted and resourceful?
Then, the Heavenly Xing Hall Master laughed loudly, " The Heavenly Palace will definitely reward you, and I will also reward you to encourage other disciples. However, it certainly won't compare to the Heavenly Palace's reward, and I hope you won't find it lacking."
Lu Changsheng shook his head and smiled, "Of course, it's an honor for me to receive a reward from the Palace Master."
"Alright, you don't need to continue with the current tasks. Just rest and wait for the Heavenly Palace to summon you."
After saying that, the Heavenly Xing Hall Master patted Lu Changsheng on the shoulder again and turned to leave.
It left others only with envious glances.
After the Heavenly Xing Hall Master left, the others also walked towards Lu Changsheng, hoping to curry favor with him. In particular, You Chen and Hu Wei were the first to rush over, hoping to ease the tension.
Otherwise, given how highly regarded Lu Changsheng is now, they wouldn't be able to survive if they held a grudge even slightly.
But.
No one has yet come to Lu Changsheng's side.
Suddenly, the sky shook!
Everyone looked up in astonishment at the sky.
Above them, the sky appeared as if it had been cleaved open by someone.
One sword cleaves the heavens!
A beam of holy white light descended from the place where the heavens had been created, enveloping Lu Changsheng within it.
A faintly visible ladder to heaven slowly materialized before Lu Changsheng's eyes.
"This is... the Divine Ascension Stairway that only descends when personally summoned by the Heavenly Palace!"
"I thought Divine Envoy would take him to the Heavenly Palace, or that the Heavenly Palace would directly bestow the reward upon him. I never expected that the Heavenly Palace would summon him directly and descend the Divine Ascension Stairway..."
"You know, in all the years, the Heavenly Palace has only sent down the Divine Ascension Stairway to personally summon us three times..."
"It seems that Zhongsheng has truly soared to great heights."
"It's a pity I've never met this person, nor befriended him beforehand... Those who were on good terms with him are truly lucky."
"That's normal. Such skilled weapon refiners usually don't appear in the public eye, especially since our Heavenly Punishment Hall alone has so many people. Who would have thought of and befriended them beforehand..."
LOL, there's nobody else here!
Lu Changsheng remained unmoved upon hearing this, merely cupping his hands in a gesture of respect towards the place where the heavens were created. He then stepped onto the Divine Ascension Stairway, ascending step by step, his face filled with excitement and reverence for the Heavenly Palace.
Of course, Lu Changsheng didn't think that way at all...
For example, why are there so many levels on this ghost staircase? Couldn't it have been made shorter?
Why does even a simple audience require this damned sense of ceremony? Can't everything be kept simple?
Do you really have to highlight your extraordinary qualities in this way?
While venting his dissatisfaction in his heart, he walked upwards step by step with excitement and reverence on his face, gradually disappearing from everyone's sight and disappearing into the clouds.
After the clouds passed, the sky returned to normal.
Before Lu Changsheng stood the luxurious palace he had sensed earlier.
Nine stars surround it. The auspicious omen of the four symbols— Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Vermilion Bird— surround it.
Its Divine Qi was so dense that it had even turned into mist, hundreds of times stronger than that of a palace of the Yellow Rank...
It was as if ninety percent of the divine Divine Qi of the Divine Realm had gathered here.
There wasn't enough time to look at it more.
The palace gates in front of Lu Changsheng opened silently, and an extremely strong sense of oppression, as if it had been accumulating for a long time, suddenly erupted, pressing down on Lu Changsheng like a fierce gale!
I didn't feel anything.
However, Lu Changsheng still had to put on a show, and immediately knelt down on one knee.
Then he quietly pointed another finger at his chest.
His face turned pale instantly, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. He then began to gasp for breath.
He looked like he was seriously injured.
At that moment, the oppressive feeling dissipated like the Rufeng.
An aged voice echoed from within the palace.
" Your Root Bone is not bad; you're not on the verge of death after withstanding half of my pressure. Alright, come in."
After saying that, without Lu Changsheng having to move, an invisible aura carried Lu Changsheng's body into the palace surrounded by nine stars.
The palace was not as luxurious as the outside world, nor was it like the Heavenly Punishment Hall, which felt like a town once inside.
Everything had a dignified yet simple appearance.
Several stone pillars stand upright, supporting the entire palace.
In the center, surrounded by stone pillars, are three armchairs.
However, two of the chairs were empty, except for the one on the far left, where an elderly man, whose eyes suddenly gleamed with a sharp light, sat.
Below, the divine Divine Envoy knelt on one knee.
Before Lu Changsheng could speak...
The old man then pointed at him.
An aura immediately swirled around Lu Changsheng.
He could sense that this energy was healing him, and at the same time... it was also investigating the condition within his body.
However, Lu Changsheng had set up countless restrictions within his body, and given his own unknown strength, how could the old man possibly see through him? He could only sense that Lu Changsheng was merely a disciple of the Divine Realm with decent talent.
As Lu Changsheng felt his injuries he had sustained recover, he immediately knelt on one knee, cupped his hands, and said, "Greetings, Heavenly God!"
I had heard about it from the old man's story before.
The three Heavenly God of the Heavenly Palace are the pinnacle of the Divine Realm.
The old man nodded and said, "Tell me, what reward do you want?"
