Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Gather the Strengths of All! (4th Update)
“Saintly King Skills?”
Yu Xuanji’s tranquil state of mind rippled, her beautiful eyes roaming in anticipation.
This cultivation technique was highly suitable for Hidden Dragon Temple, and it was even a lower-grade Immortal Rank technique.
The terms proposed by Lu Changsheng were irresistible to her.
“Are you sure you want to exchange this technique with our Hidden Dragon Temple?”
Yu Xuanji’s voice was soft and melodious.
If she reached a deal with Lu Changsheng, Hidden Dragon Temple could gain another sect-defending technique.
“Indeed, I simply need to exchange a batch of Earth Rank and Heaven Rank techniques.”
Lu Changsheng was troubled by the lack of suitable techniques for the Literary Sage in Mount Shu’s Scripture Pavilion, unable to pass on the Literary Sage technique to his third disciple, Mo Huazhi. Fortunately, Hidden Dragon Temple had produced several Literary Sages, so their Scripture Pavilion would undoubtedly have many techniques suitable for a Literary Sage’s cultivation.
In exchange for an Immortal Rank technique, he could obtain over a dozen Earth Rank and Heaven Rank techniques to pass on to Mo Huazhi, potentially acquiring over a dozen Immortal Rank techniques. He would then no longer have to worry about the lack of techniques to impart to Mo Huazhi in the future.
Yu Xuanji nodded, “Alright, I agree. After you select martial techniques with Grandmaster Chen at the Martial Alliance, you are welcome to choose techniques from our Hidden Dragon Temple at any time.”
Lu Changsheng reached an agreement with Grandmaster Chen and Yu Xuanji to collect a set of techniques for his second and third disciples.
As for the Buddhist Sect’s techniques from Immeasurable Temple, Lu Changsheng was indifferent.
There were no Buddhist monks among Lu Changsheng’s disciples.
The techniques of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion were similar to those of Mount Shu, with a focus on swordsmanship. If Lu Changsheng wished to obtain swordsmanship, Mount Shu’s Scripture Pavilion had all he needed.
One of the ultimate skills of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion was “Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art”.
However, Lu Changsheng had “Supreme Purity Limitless Technique”; there was no need for him to cultivate “Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art”.
Lu Changsheng’s disciples each had their main techniques as well.
Another unique skill was the swordsmanship technique “Green Dawn Sword Art” acquired by Xia Ningxue from the Qingxia Ancient Cave.
If Lu Changsheng wanted to cultivate “Green Dawn Sword Art”, he would need to win over Xia Ningxue, not trade with Fairy Su.
“Taiyuan, your disciple is set to gather the strengths of various factions. He might become a grandmaster of his generation. Now, I have no doubts about what you’ve said.”
Seeing Lu Changsheng make efforts to obtain various factions’ ultimate skills, Fairy Su assumed that he aimed to combine their strengths to create unparalleled divine techniques and couldn’t help but admire him.
Taiyuan stroked his beard, “This child will surely bring glory to our Mount Shu and even spread our Mount Shu’s chivalrous spirit throughout the Immortal Realm.”
“Does your Mount Shu intend to establish a sect in the Immortal Realm?”
Fairy Su was astonished.
What place is the Immortal Realm?
For tens of thousands of years, the six major sects had only a few extraordinary geniuses ascend to the Immortal Realm.
Since the founding of Mount Shu, only about a dozen extraordinary geniuses have ultimately ascended to the Immortal Realm.
Inquiry Immortal Pavilion had even less, with only two.
Taiyuan actually hoped that after Lu Changsheng ascended, he would establish Mount Shu in the Immortal Realm, and also foster Mount Shu’s spirit of chivalry and justice.
Was this a delusion of a madman?
“The world is unpredictable…”
It was the first time Taiyuan had encountered such an exceptional disciple from Mount Shu as Lu Changsheng. Lu Changsheng’s disciples also each possessed extraordinary talents, so Taiyuan’s expectations for Lu Changsheng had increased ever so slightly.
Afterward, the four Sect Leaders left Mount Shu, with Lu Changsheng following Grandmaster Chen to the Martial Alliance.
“Your second disciple is endowed with the Martial King Divine Physique, which is a top-notch Martial Body Physique in the world. You’re here to exchange cultivation techniques with our Martial Alliance for her sake, aren’t you?”
Grandmaster Chen, who had cultivated for thousands of years and possessed keen insight into human nature, knew Lu Changsheng’s intentions.
With Lu Qinglian’s Martial King Divine Physique, if she didn’t fall prematurely, she was very likely to ascend to the Immortal Realm.
Lu Changsheng had exchanged Heaven Rank cultivation techniques for a batch of martial techniques with the Martial Alliance, mostly for the sake of teaching his disciples.
Lu Changsheng didn’t deny it.
Accompanied by Grandmaster Chen, Lu Changsheng arrived at the mountain range where the Martial Alliance was based and immediately felt the presence of more than twenty formidable auras, each belonging to a Void Refinement Realm expert.
“Master, you’ve returned? And who’s this?”
Ye Wen, the chief disciple of the Martial Alliance, was shocked to see Grandmaster Chen bringing back a disciple from Mount Shu, Lu Changsheng.
“Disciple, hand your self-created ‘Wing Chun Fist’ over to Lu Changsheng. In return, I will teach you a Heaven Rank cultivation technique.”
“All right.”
Ye Wen was thrilled; his master was going to teach him a Heaven Rank cultivation technique.
Lu Changsheng obtained the martial technique “Wing Chun Fist.”
Grandmaster Chen then led Lu Changsheng to the Scripture Pavilion, allowing him to choose a batch of martial techniques at his leisure.
“Throughout-the-Back Fist,” “Drunken Fist,” “Big Capture Hand,” “Minor Capturing Hand,” “Crane Sun Fist,” “Sweeping Hall Leg,” “Life Snatching Scissor Kick,” “Plum Blossom Saber”…
The Martial Alliance truly lived up to its reputation as a sect focused on body tempering and martial practice, with an array of martial techniques available, including boxing, leg techniques, grappling, swordsmanship, spear techniques…
Lu Changsheng selected more than a dozen Earth Rank and Heaven Rank martial techniques suitable for his second disciple, in addition to Ye Wen’s “Wing Chun Fist” and Grandmaster Chen’s “Baji Fist.”
Ye Wen’s self-created “Wing Chun Fist” was not yet perfected, but Lu Changsheng didn’t mind.
After all, the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator would return even higher-level cultivation techniques.
What cultivation technique would the system return for the incomplete “Wing Chun Fist”?
Afterward, Lu Changsheng headed to the Hidden Dragon Temple to exchange a lower-grade Heaven Rank cultivation technique, “Saintly King Skills,” for a batch of the temple’s cultivation techniques.
“Gentleman Sword Skills,” “Investigation of Things,” “Plum Blossom Plays,” “Divination,” “Formation”… The cultivation techniques of the Hidden Dragon Temple are indeed peculiar and vastly different from those of Mount Shu.”
Lu Changsheng picked out more than a dozen cultivation techniques suitable for Mo Huazhi.
The Confucian Dao cultivation techniques of the Hidden Dragon Temple were not suited for Lu Changsheng, who practiced both martial and cultivation dual practice, but were rather fitting for Mo Huazhi, who possessed the Body of the Literary Sage.
Of course, the Hidden Dragon Temple’s cultivation techniques for divining the heavenly secrets and formation arrangement were not without their uses.
Compared to that, the techniques from the Martial Alliance provided a significant improvement to Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng, cultivating the Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills and martial techniques, could protect himself even without magical treasures, armed only with his bare hands.
Losing magical treasures was an extreme situation, but no one could guarantee it would never happen.
“Your third disciple has the same Body of the Literary Sage as I do; with proper cultivation, they might be able to ascend to Dao in the future.”
Yu Xuanji, with her extraordinary intelligence, already knew that Lu Changsheng’s third disciple had the Body of the Literary Sage. Lu Changsheng’s exchange of “Saintly King Skills” with the Hidden Dragon Temple was most likely for cultivating his disciple.
“Temple Master Yu’s divine insight is indeed formidable; nothing can escape your Dharma Eye. I take my leave now.”
Lu Changsheng, carrying the cultivation techniques obtained from the Martial Alliance and Hidden Dragon Temple, flew back to Mount Shu using Sword Flight.
Yu Xuanji began calculating and attempting to divine the mysteries of heaven to predict the future.
After a while, with her stunning face covered in sweat and her beautiful eyes opening, Yu Xuanji shook her head, “Others might deduce some clues, but everything becomes blank when it comes to this person. How can this be? Could it be that my cultivation level is still not high enough? It seems necessary to take that step and enter the Unity Realm. Perhaps once I reach the Unity Realm, I will be able to predict this child’s future.”
