The words spoken by Xuan Heavenly God were clearly heard by everyone.
Almost all the disciples of the Divine Realm, led by Xu Baorui, Tang Huai, Ding Wanshan, stared at Lu Changsheng in astonishment.
This is such a stark contrast to the aura he released before!
Just moments ago, his fire attribute talent only surpassed that of ordinary disciples of the Divine Realm, yet now he has directly gained the approval of the Xuan Heavenly God, and even had the Xuan Heavenly God say something that he himself couldn't do back then?
Jiang Yiyu almost ground her teeth to powder.
She's such a show-off, so hateful!
Is this person really that unwilling to cultivate with her? Even setting aside everything else, the future prospects and benefits of cultivating with Divine Maiden like her would be enough to tempt him, wouldn't they?
Thinking and thinking.
Jiang Yiyu suddenly sneered, thinking to herself, "Trying to hide from me? Hiding your strength, huh? Then I'll see who really wins."
Lu Changsheng had no idea that he had been completely targeted by Jiang Yiyu.
He merely looked at Xuan Heavenly God with outward respect, while inwardly he was cursing.
You think you can surpass me just by letting go a little?
No, is it that you're too weak or I'm too strong?
If Xuan Heavenly God knew what Lu Changsheng was thinking, his years of cultivating his inner strength would probably be shattered... commonly known as the shattering of his Dao heart.
"Would you be willing to become my disciple and inherit my mantle?"
The Xuan Heavenly God's words were very polite, and even the Azure Heavenly God was taken aback.
This usually arrogant old man, whose chin seems to be held to the sky, is actually being so polite to a junior?
Without hesitation, Lu Changsheng cupped his hands and said, "Disciple greets Master."
If you hesitate at this point, you'll give yourself away.
After all, Xuan Heavenly God is a figure who stands at the pinnacle of power in the Divine Realm; anyone else would have agreed immediately.
Seeing this, Xuan Heavenly God nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, and a token inlaid with the Four Symbols floated in front of Lu Changsheng.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the eerie warrant, their eyes filled with disbelief.
The Azure Heavenly God's expression also turned slightly somber.
This is a warrant that grants direct access to the Heavenly Palace.
Apart from the Heavenly God, anyone else who wants to enter the Heavenly Palace must possess this Heavenly Palace Command Token without being summoned.
In the entire Divine Realm, apart from the Twelve Chief Gods, only the Divine Maiden Jiang Yiyu.
Even the Azure Heavenly God's personal disciple didn't possess it.
Unexpectedly, the Xuan Heavenly God was given away just like that?
Xuan Heavenly God, however, remained calm, as if he had done something quite ordinary, and said lightly, "Make preparations. Come to the Heavenly Palace to find me tomorrow, and I will pass on my mantle to you in its entirety."
He then looked at the Azure Heavenly God and said, "This is my personal disciple, and also a closed-door student. Do you understand about the reward?"
The Azure Heavenly God's brow twitched. Did this mean... the reward needed to be even more generous?
Did they really try to extort him?
Before the Azure Heavenly God could say anything, the Xuan Heavenly God had already vanished.
"That old bastard!" The Azure Heavenly God almost jumped up and cursed, but then he remembered that so many people were watching, so for the sake of his image, Azure Heavenly God coughed to calm himself down.
He then looked at Lu Changsheng and said, " Zhongsheng, it is your Creation to be accepted as a disciple by Xuan Heavenly God. With your talent for weapon crafting and Xuan Heavenly God's dedicated guidance, your future achievements will be remarkable."
Lu Changsheng cupped his hands and said, "This junior will certainly cultivate diligently with Master."
"Hmm... but," the Azure Heavenly God's gaze suddenly sharpened as he stared at Lu Changsheng, "Why did you conceal your aura before?"
The Azure Heavenly God hadn't thoroughly examined Lu Changsheng's body, so it's normal that he didn't know it was hidden.
Although we investigated, we couldn't find anything.
However, if no problems are found after the investigation, and Lu Changsheng has concealed his aura, then something is definitely not right.
Doesn't that mean that even the Azure Heavenly God himself didn't detect Lu Changsheng's hidden aura?
So, is there reason to doubt Lu Changsheng's strength and intentions?
Lu Changsheng remained composed and showed no weakness, offering a wry smile as he said, "I simply feel unworthy of the Divine Maiden, and on the other hand, I feel my aura is not up to par, so I won't embarrass myself by doing so."
The Azure Heavenly God nodded slightly.
That reason is somewhat plausible.
After all, he also believed that Zhongsheng was indeed unworthy of him.
But things are different now... Zhongsheng's talent, coupled with being accepted as Xuan Heavenly God's last disciple, makes him worthy of the position.
Jiang Yiyu, however, let out a cold laugh from the attic.
She didn't believe that.
So he said, "Since the energy within you is suitable, then give it a try with me."
The disciples of the Divine Realm below were already numb.
Lu Changsheng has already shocked them too much today.
However, Xu Baorui, Tang Huai, and Ding Wanshan all had ashen faces.
As everyone knows, these three are rivals for Jiang Yiyu and have been pursuing her relentlessly.
However, the other party completely ignored them.
The three of them didn't get along originally.
But then Lu Changsheng appeared.
Jiang Yiyu still treats him so specially.
Xu Baorui, Tang Huai, Ding Wanshan then stood on the same side, jointly opposing Lu Changsheng.
The Azure Heavenly God nodded in agreement.
After all, Zhongsheng is the only suitable candidate right now, and their identities match perfectly; there is no one more suitable than him.
Otherwise, should we really send Jiang Yiyu to the mortal realm to look for her?
The Azure Heavenly God were not pleased to see this.
In the eyes of the Divine Realm, the Lower Five Realms are merely slaves, unconquered barbarians.
"Alright, since that's the case, then this matter is settled. As long as Zhongsheng can suppress the Yin energy within the Divine Maiden's body, then you two will become dao companion." The Azure Heavenly God waved his hand.
A bottle of pills appeared before Lu Changsheng.
"These are Divine Blood Pill, three in total, which are your reward for this."
Divine Blood Pill?
"And three of them?! Just one of them can purify the Divine Bloodline within the body! With an increased level of divine bloodline, both innate physique and cultivation realm will see a tremendous boost!"
"Two pills are enough to give a disciple with divine blood a 70% chance of stepping into the Ninth-Level Lightning Tribulation. These three... wouldn't that be a 100% guarantee?!"
" The Divine Blood Pill was personally refined by the Pill Heavenly God, and even one pill requires a great deal of mental effort and resources. Isn't this reward a bit too generous...?"
Lu Changsheng accepted the gift without any inner turmoil. Seeing the wide, bulging eyes below, he feigned excitement and said, "Thank you, Heavenly God!"
The Azure Heavenly God then said, "Alright, this is over. All parties should continue with their respective tasks. When the Heavenly Palace issues the order, it will be time to attack the Lower Five Realms!"
After saying this, the Azure Heavenly God vanished from the spot.
Everyone was also teleported out of this space.
As soon as Lu Changsheng returned to his Earth Rank mansion, he saw a stunningly beautiful woman waiting at the door for a long time.
Who else could it be but Jiang Yiyu?
