Lu Tianmu
The Five Continents Domain.
The summit of a towering mountain.
Standing atop it, one can overlook a vast expanse of the Five Continents Domain; the location is superb.
Its scenery is beautiful, with clouds and mist swirling around it, giving it a somewhat fairyland feel.
However, the mountain peaks were surrounded by arrays that blocked their way, preventing them from proceeding further.
"Are you going to visit that Saint Emperor Lu?"
On the flying boat, Lu Yuan heard Lu Changzhi's signal to land and spoke up.
"Is it with Saint Emperor Lu?"
Lu Changzhi said softly.
Saint Emperor Lu is one of the Ten Great Saint Emperor, and compared to the other Saint Emperor, he achieved fame the earliest and is now the oldest.
He did not take on any disciples and rarely participated in matters concerning the Five Continents Domain.
He can be said to be the one with the lowest profile among the Ten Holy Saint Emperor.
Of course, a low ranking does not mean weak strength; he is ultimately a veteran powerhouse.
At that moment, Lu Changzhi looked into the formation.
Brush.
A flash of light, and the information appeared:
[Name]: Lu Tianmu
[Realm]: Saint Emperor Realm Fifth Layer
[Qualification]: Lower-Grade Human Dao Rank
[Physique]: Sword-Controlling Saint Physique
[Talent]: Born Sword Person, Many Blessings in Old Age, Skilled at Disguise.
"Saint Emperor Realm Fifth Layer."
With a soft voice, Lu Changzhi stepped down from the flying boat.
He wasn't familiar with the other party, and although it's better to rob than to cheat, he was still willing to try to negotiate.
It all depends on whether the other party can handle it.
I've come to say hello.
Lu Yuan stepped forward and spoke in a deep voice:
"This junior Lu Yuan, has come to pay my respects to Senior Lu. May I ask if Senior Lu is currently cultivating?"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Then, a powerful divine thought descended from the mountain peak.
The next moment, a passage appeared to split open in the formation ahead.
Brush.
Two flying swords appeared on the ground in front of the passage.
The two stepped onto the flying sword, which then soared into the air, carrying them to the mountaintop.
At the summit of the mountain, a magnificent palace is under construction.
An old man, with a weathered appearance, sat cross-legged in the hall, a long sword resting on his lap.
Centered on it, the surrounding world was filled with a strong Sword Intent.
This Lu Tianmu is a swordsman, and in terms of swordsmanship, he is almost at the peak level in the Five Continents Domain.
"Greetings, Senior Lu," Lu Yuan said.
Lu Tianmu's gaze fell on Lu Yuan, and his expression shifted slightly:
"Time flies. The last time I saw you, you were just Saint King. Now, you're at the gates of the Saint Emperor, just one step away."
Lu Yuan nodded and sighed:
"I still vividly remember the swordsmanship of my predecessors. Every time I recall it, I gain something new and benefit greatly."
"Heh, you've come today not to spar with me, but perhaps you do?"
As he spoke, Lu Tianmu gently shook his head:
"If that's the case, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I'm getting old now and can no longer act casually."
Lu Yuan shook his head, gestured to Lu Changzhi beside him, and said:
"I am only here today as a follower."
Lu Tianmu looked at Lu Changzhi.
Its almost completely closed eyelids twitched slightly.
He was skilled in swordsmanship and had the keenest perception of anything related to the way of the sword.
With just one glance, he made a rough judgment.
This junior in front of me has definitely been to or come into contact with places related to swords recently.
Furthermore, there are exceptionally fine swords there.
Judging from the general aura alone, the person who left behind that sword or the place where it was must be stronger than me.
Moreover, judging from the boy's demeanor, he should not be a swordsman.
In other words, that sword was either a chance encounter or a stroke of luck.
Lu Tianmu had roughly made up his mind.
He needs to know this.
However, he didn't ask directly, but instead showed an appreciative expression and said:
"A promising junior, likely a genius as well."
Lu Changzhi smiled slightly and said:
"You flatter me, senior."
Having said that, let's get straight to the point:
"I have come to discuss something with you, senior."
"Oh?" Lu Tianmu said.
"Please feel free to speak."
Lu Changzhi nodded and said:
Regarding the Unsealing Key, this junior may exchange it with a gift from the senior.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but glance at Lu Changzhi.
The Unsealing Key is said to be only eight in total, and apart from a few people who know about it, the whereabouts of the others are unknown.
Does Lu Tianmu possess the Unsealing Key?
That's something I've never heard of before.
Moreover, even if they possess the Unsealing Key, they would likely be unwilling to part with matters concerning the Longevity Battlefield and the opportunity for immortality.
Unlike Lu Yuan's surprise.
Lu Tianmu's expression, however, held a hint of confusion. He looked at Lu Changzhi and reminded him:
"Young man, you've underestimated the value of the Unsealing Key. I can offer you something in exchange, but you'd better think carefully. Give me the Unsealing Key, and you'll have nothing left."
Lu Changzhi smiled upon hearing this and shook his head, saying:
"Senior, you misunderstand. What I meant was that I would exchange something for the Unsealing Key in your possession."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Tianmu gently shook his head:
"I don't have the Unsealing Key, so how can we make the exchange?"
His expression was natural, showing no sign of surprise or other reaction, as if it were the truth.
Lu Changzhi smiled but didn't say anything.
The next moment, he raised his hand and took out a storage ring.
"This storage ring contains what I'm willing to offer in exchange. In addition, the Unsealing Key allows people to enter. If you agree to the exchange, I can offer you a place."
After saying that, Lu Changzhi gently pushed the storage ring forward.
Lu Tianmu didn't touch the storage ring; he just looked at Lu Changzhi.
He does indeed have the Unsealing Key.
But those who knew about this back then have all kept their mouths shut forever.
How did the other party know?
Or is it that there's some special connection between the Unsealing Key that they haven't noticed or discovered, and this younger generation just happens to possess Unsealing Key as well?
He neither asked nor showed it.
Just a sigh:
"Although I do not possess the Unsealing Key, I am curious about what in this world could be exchanged for Unsealing Key."
As he spoke, his divine sense probed into his storage ring.
The storage space for the ring is quite large.
But there was very little.
In fact, it could be said that the number is pitifully small.
Only one drop.
A single drop of Life Spirit Spring Primal Liquid, entirely emerald green in color.
The entire storage ring was teeming with life force because of the presence of this drop of Life Primal Liquid, almost like an impenetrable mist.
In an instant, Lu Tianmu's almost withered face twitched violently.
The calm and still mind was suddenly rippled as if a bucket of water had been poured into it from mid-air.
Even though he didn't know what the Life Spirit Spring was, he could still make incredibly sharp judgments based on his senses.
Although it was only one drop, it was enough to greatly extend his lifespan.
Moreover, its extent far surpasses any longevity-promoting substance found over the years.
For him now...
Extremely crucial.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as providing timely help.
"Unexpectedly, such a longevity opportunity has come knocking on my door, even before I have the chance to achieve immortality."
"Heaven is truly helping this old man!"
