Changzhi Had Mastered the Ancestors' Teachings

"Congratulations, host! You have successfully used the random Saint Rank gift pack and have obtained: Saint Rank High Grade Void Spirit Fruit *1."

The system notification stopped.

Lu Changzhi's expression shifted, and he looked at the fruit.

It must be said that this is a very unique fruit.

It was about the size of a palm, growing on a seedling, and unlike the color of ordinary spiritual fruits, its surface was gray.

At first glance, this Void Spirit Fruit contains a powerful and unique meaning.

If it weren't for the array formation attached to the system, it might have caused fluctuations in the energy of heaven and earth.

[Void Spirit Fruit]: A precious spiritual fruit born of heaven and earth. When consumed by cultivators, it allows them to Sudden Enlightenment the void of heaven and earth, helping them more easily grasp the essence of voidness and enter the Void Transformation Realm. Furthermore, it can be used to solidify one's foundation...

"Is it for breaking through to the Void Transformation Realm?"

Lu Changzhi said softly.

If he remembered correctly, this Void Spirit Fruit was the most precious and rarest spiritual fruit of heaven and earth for those in the Creation Realm.

This not only significantly shortens the time to break through, but also makes the foundation more solid.

Its importance is evident from its rank of "Saint Rank High Grade".

None of those who can be listed as Saint Rank are simple.

"Keep it for now."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Changzhi put away the Void Spirit Fruit.

Night Descent.

After a busy afternoon, Cang Wenyu finally found time to come to the Gu Qingyang cultivation ground.

"Um?"

As soon as he approached, Cang Wenyu was startled and stared intently at Gu Qingyang.

The person in front of me...

"Etc."

Cang Wenyu blinked.

Unsure, let's see.

This aura...

"Hiss--"

Cang Wenyu gasped, his eyes filled with disbelief.

How come you look so much younger?!

Breaking through to the Transcendent Realm, is it really that terrifying?

Just then, Gu Qingyang suddenly opened his eyes.

Driven by spiritual power, a spiritual mirror materialized.

"Um?"

A look of surprise appeared in Gu Qingyang's eyes.

"Congratulations, Ancestor, on reaching the Transcendent!" Cang Wenyu's excited voice rang out.

Gu Qingyang shook his head:

"Too early."

"This step is difficult; it's not so easy to take."

That's what he couldn't understand.

How did my lifespan increase so much without me even breaking through to a higher level?

This was the first time in two thousand years that he had encountered something so strange.

"In any case, it's a good thing that the ancestor's lifespan has increased," Cang Wenyu said with a smile.

Gu Qingyang nodded upon hearing this:

"Although I didn't succeed this time, it did allow me to improve somewhat, and I can barely be considered Half-Step Transcendent."

After a pause, Gu Qingyang said:

"Take me to see your current disciples."

Upon hearing this, Cang Wenyu looked embarrassed and recounted what had happened not long ago.

Gu Qingyang laughed heartily and said:

"The atmosphere has already been built up to this point, so I won't show myself."

"This will also prevent these younger generations from overestimating the sect's strength."

After saying this, Gu Qingyang's expression shifted, and he asked curiously:

"By the way, who was that little guy who pretended to be someone from the Holy Land?"

"The Ancestor is referring to Changzhi," Cang Wenyu said with a smile.

"What does the patriarch think of him?"

"This kid is no simpleton." Gu Qingyang thought for a moment:

"His aura is so disguised that even I can't see through it."

"What?!" Cang Wenyu was shocked and looked at Gu Qingyang in disbelief.

Those who cultivate swordsmanship, upon reaching a certain level, even possess perception abilities that surpass those of ordinary people.

Gu Qingyang was also a powerful cultivator at the Dao Comprehension Realm.

Even that couldn't be seen through!

"So, what exactly is this kid's cultivation level?" Gu Qingyang asked.

Cang Wenyu pondered for a moment, then shook his head:

Actually, I don't know either.

"That kid Changzhi grew up in the Five Symbols Sect since he was a child, and he has mastered the essential teachings of the sect. He's more secretive than anyone else."

Gu Qingyang's face showed a hint of curiosity:

"An interesting little fellow, take me to meet him."

"Greetings, Ancestor."

Upon seeing the visitor, Lu Changzhi stood up and bowed.

"No need to be so formal." Gu Qingyang smiled and looked at Lu Changzhi.

After a moment, he suddenly spoke and asked:

"You're not practicing the Breath Concealment Technique, are you?"

Cang Wenyu, standing to the side, was slightly taken aback.

"The Ancestor has seen through it." Lu Changzhi nodded with a smile.

"That's not true."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Changzhi flipped his hand and took out the "Essence Concealment Art".

"This is exactly what I cultivate, Ancestor, please take a look."

As he spoke, Lu Changzhi handed over the "Essence Concealment Art".

"Changzhi," Cang Wenyu said at this moment.

"What kind of cultivation technique is this?"

"It's a technique for disguising one's aura. I obtained it by chance before, and it doesn't seem too difficult to cultivate, so I tried it out," Lu Changzhi said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qingyang spoke in a solemn voice:

"This 'Essence Concealment Art' is Saint Rank cultivation method."

"And it's not just any Saint Rank being; it's very likely a high-grade one."

"What?!"

Cang Wenyu was deeply moved.

Saint Rank, or even superior-grade.

"This, this, this..."

"Changzhi, why didn't you tell me about this?"

Cang Wenyu looked at Lu Changzhi.

Facing Cang Wenyu's large but not at all bright eyes, Lu Changzhi spoke the prepared words, saying:

"I noticed his cultivation method was simple, but I didn't expect his cultivation level to be so high."

"I didn't mention it before because I thought the sect already had the 'Breath Concealment Technique,' so we didn't need this."

Gu Qingyang, standing to the side, shook his head as he listened.

"While the sect's 'Breath Concealment Technique' is extraordinary, its quality is ultimately limited. Generations of powerful figures within the sect have attempted to improve it, but in terms of disguise, it still cannot compare to the technique you cultivate."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi said:

"Will this cultivation technique be of any help to the sect?"

Gu Qingyang nodded:

"If it truly has the effects it claims, it will be of immense significance to the sect."

It's a whole rank higher, and it can disguise itself so much more effectively.

This could completely elevate the concealment skills of sect disciples and elders to a new level.

This has significant strategic importance for the Five Symbols Sect.

"In that case, it belongs to the sect."

Lu Changzhi said with a smile.

A look of appreciation appeared on Gu Qingyang's face, and he sighed:

"This is a significant contribution to the sect."

As he spoke, Gu Qingyang put away the "Essence Concealment Art" and said:

"I'll take it back and let those guys study it carefully. If it's truly feasible, we'll implement it throughout the entire sect."

"At that time, your connection with this 'Essence Concealment Art' will be recorded in the clan history."

Lu Changzhi's expression was strange.

Could this possibly lead to being listed in the Imperial Clan History?

It seems I underestimated how much importance the sect placed on the disguise of one's aura.

Mystic One Sect.

"Sect Master, the elder who went to the Five Symbols Sect has returned with important news!"

"Oh? The Five Symbols Sect was wiped out?"

The Mystic One Sect Master's expression shifted, and he continued:

"Send them here quickly."

Soon, the elders who had gone there arrived.

First, the elders who had entered the Five Symbols Sect explained the situation.

"So the Five Symbols Sect really does have a Late Void Transformation Realm hidden away?"

However, he is critically injured and on the verge of death; he probably won't live much longer.

"That's good, continue."

The sect leader of the Mystic One Sect looked satisfied.

What happened next was recounted by both groups of elders, both inside and outside the family.

After hearing this, the Mystic One Sect Master's face was full of displeasure.

"Cloud Heaven Holy Land?"

"The Five Symbols Sect is incredibly lucky; they managed to hold out until the Cloud Heaven Holy Land came to their aid."

"What a pity, otherwise today would surely be the day their sect is wiped out!"

As he spoke, the Mystic One Sect Master suddenly thought of something, and his brows furrowed into a deep frown:

"Wait, a swordsman? He killed the demon with a single strike?"

"So, Lin Chong's death was really caused by their Cloud Heaven Holy Land?!"
