Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Battle with Fairy Su! (2nd Update)
“Last time we attacked the Reincarnation Hall, the Demon Lord did not show up; he must have been healing his wounds. With the Demon Lord’s Nirvana Phoenix Body, once his injuries recover, his cultivation will rise at least one realm, making him stronger than ever,”
“Once the Demon Lord appears, we must completely eradicate him, or he will become increasingly powerful.”
“Taiyuan, I’ve heard your junior disciple joined forces with you and Grandmaster Chen to defeat Wan Chengdao during the attack on the Reincarnation Hall.”
Fairy Su looked towards Real Person Taiyuan, her gaze softened a bit.
“Hmm. His combat ability is already not inferior to yours.”
“Are you mocking me?”
“Not at all. He will soon surpass me too. This is a talent that our Sect Uncle assessed as second only to the Ancestral Master.”
“His aptitude is comparable to that of the Ancestral Master?”
Grandmaster Chen, Fairy Su, Yu Xuanji, and Master Wuxiang, the four Sect Leaders, were all visibly moved.
The Ancestral Master of Mount Shu is universally acknowledged as the foremost individual of the past several hundred thousand years.
If Lu Changsheng is deemed by the Mount Shu Sect Leader Uncle as a second Ancestral Master, then his talent is truly terrifying.
“I want to witness his strength myself, to see if he really has such potential.”
Fairy Su knew that the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion’s unparalleled genius, Xia Ningxue, had an unusual relationship with Lu Changsheng, and decided to take care of it personally.
Real Person Taiyuan voiced his concern, “This might not be proper…”
Real Person Taiyuan knew that Su Qian’er was proud, and if his disciple defeated the Fairy Pavilion Master Su Qian’er, it would be difficult for her to save face, which would be problematic.
“I am doing this for my disciple’s benefit, what do you know?”
Fairy Su gave Real Person Taiyuan a stern glance.
“Alright then.”
Real Person Taiyuan, feeling guilty towards Su Qian’er, sent a message to Lu Changsheng, asking him to come to Ten Thousand Swords Peak.
“The visit of the four great Sect Leaders to Mount Shu presents a good opportunity.”
Recently, Lu Changsheng had been pondering what martial techniques to pass on to his second disciple, Lu Qinglian.
When it comes to martial techniques and methods, Mount Shu is not as skilled as the Martial Alliance.
Now that Alliance Leader Master Chen of the Martial Alliance was visiting Mount Shu, it was an excellent time to exchange a batch of martial techniques and methods with him.
Lu Changsheng possessed a lower-grade fairy martial technique called the “Emperor’s Six Harmonies Spear”, which the Martial Alliance should be quite interested in.
Since techniques could be copied, an exchange between both parties would be advantageous to all.
Lu Changsheng traveled to Ten Thousand Swords Peak by Sword Flight.
Grandmaster Chen had already witnessed Lu Changsheng’s present strength at the Reincarnation Hall’s main temple.
However, Fairy Su, Yu Xuanji, and Master Wuxiang, the three great Sect Leaders, were looking at him with curious eyes.
“His aura has reached the peak of the seventh layer of the Void Refinement Realm, on the verge of entering the eighth layer. Such speed is truly astonishing,”
Yu Xuanji noticed Lu Changsheng’s current cultivation level and was secretly amazed.
The Sect Leaders present had practiced for three thousand years, and only ranged between the ninth layer of the Void Refinement Realm and the first layer of the Unity Realm, whereas Lu Changsheng had not even cultivated for a tenth of that time.
Real Person Taiyuan said, “Changsheng, Fairy Su of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion wishes to spar with you.”
“…”
Lu Changsheng came to Ten Thousand Swords Peak only intending to make a trade with Alliance Leader Master Chen of the Martial Alliance, not expecting Xia Ningxue’s master to want a match with him.
Although Fairy Su’s cultivation was not as high as Real Person Taiyuan’s and her combat ability might not be on par with Grandmaster Chen or Master Wuxiang, who were also at the ninth layer of the Void Refinement Realm, she was undoubtedly a genuine powerhouse at that level.
“You brat, unless you defeat me, I won’t agree to you associating with my disciple,”
Fairy Su insisted, not allowing Lu Changsheng to refuse. With a flick of her left hand, her Immortal Sword at her waist soared into the air, emitting a gleaming cold light.
An extremely cold chill approached, and everything it touched turned to ice.
“Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art…”
Lu Changsheng had felt a similar aura when he was with Xia Ningxue, realizing this was the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion’s Sect-Defending Skills.
Fairy Su’s Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art had reached the ninth level of Great Perfection, and its power was extremely terrifying.
“Hold on,”
Lu Changsheng interrupted Fairy Su’s spellcasting.
“What’s the matter? Are you scared?”
“Not at all, I’m just concerned about damaging the mountain. Let’s go outside Mount Shu to spar.”
Lu Changsheng’s Primordial Sword Scripture had reached Great Perfection, so he truly was not afraid of Fairy Su.
However, a duel between two Void Refinement Realm experts at Ten Thousand Swords Peak would surely destroy the entire mountain.
“Kid, you’ve got guts. Then let’s compare our skills outside Mount Shu.”
Fairy Su and Lu Changsheng took to their swords and left, followed by Taiyuan Real Man, Grandmaster Chen, Yu Xuanji, and Master Wuxiang.
The two arrived at a deserted wasteland outside Mount Shu specifically used for undergoing tribulations.
“Now we can fight with all our might.”
Lu Changsheng wanted to test the full power of the Primordial Sword Scripture at Great Perfection, and Fairy Su, a ninth-level expert of the Void Refinement Realm, was an excellent candidate for a trial of his swordsmanship.
Hum!
Lu Changsheng unsheathed his lower-grade Immortal Sword, Blazing Extermination, which exuded an aura of ferocity, forming a terrifying murderous Sword Qi.
Fairy Su’s side sword was also a lower-grade Immortal Sword, so for the sake of fairness, Lu Changsheng did not use “Silent Annihilation.”
“Fairy Su, please enlighten me.”
As soon as Lu Changsheng made his move, he directly employed the Primordial Sword Scripture.
Sword Qi crisscrossed, forming a sword domain ten miles in radius.
“What’s going on with this guy? He’s clearly not even at the eighth level of the Void Refinement Realm, yet his comprehension of the Sword Dao surpasses what is expected of the ninth level.”
Fairy Su was secretly surprised and channeled her full strength into the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art, unleashing an immortal-level sword technique.
The two sword experts began clashing, countless Sword Qi moving about, fracturing the ground within a hundred miles.
“Fairy Su was also an unmatched genius in the cultivation of the Sword Dao in her time, and with the advantage of her realm, it’s unexpected that she is only managing a stalemate against this disciple, and even seems to be at a slight disadvantage.”
“With this young one’s talents, it’s only a matter of time before he steps into the Unity Realm.”
Sect Leaders Yu Xuanji and Master Wuxiang could already see the potential.
Lu Changsheng, at the peak of the seventh level in the Void Refinement Realm, was actually able to cross swords with the Pavilion Master of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion at the ninth level, indicating that his future entry into the Unity Realm would not be difficult.
“That’s not necessarily so. Although my disciple is a monster, the Heavenly Tribulation he attracts is also quite terrifying…”
Taiyuan Real Man thought about the Threefold Heavenly Tribulation that Lu Changsheng had attracted during his breakthrough to the Dao Palace Realm, which was already extremely fearsome—should Lu Changsheng step into the Unity Realm, the sixfold Heavenly Tribulation could likely destroy heaven and earth.
A dazzling beam of sword light rose up, stirring the sea of clouds into a vortex, boiling the sword domain.
At a stalemate, Lu Changsheng unleashed the tenth level of the Primordial Sword Scripture!
“Immortal-level swordsmanship at Great Perfection?!”
Fairy Su’s pretty face turned pale, knowing that if she were to forcibly withstand this strike, she might be injured despite her cultivation level.
It would be too disgraceful for a master of her standing to be wounded by a disciple.
“Gentle Clouds of Snow!”
Faced with maintaining the face of a sect leader, Fairy Su had no choice but to use the still-not-at-Great-Perfection Inquiry Immortal Pavilion immortal-level sword technique to harshly counter the fully accomplished Primordial Sword Scripture.
The two streams of Sword Qi collided, and the fierce strands twisted and interlocked, causing spiderweb-like cracks in the mountains ten miles away.
Fairy Su clenched her teeth tightly, her exquisite face covered in beads of sweat.
She could not allow herself to be defeated by a junior.
“I concede.”
Just as Fairy Su was on the brink of collapse, Lu Changsheng suddenly withdrew his True Qi, bringing the match to a draw.
The opponent was Xia Ningxue’s master, after all, so Lu Changsheng still gave her some face.
