Chapter 274: Chapter 271: 30 Years of Teaching (5K)
After returning to Qingyun Peak, Shen Xiaoyao immediately began his Tribulation.
Shen Xiaoyao faced a Threefold Heavenly Tribulation that persisted for two full hours, but relying on his Pure Yang Body and his status as the Son of Fortune, he successfully overcame the tribulations.
The Son of Fortune’s fate even reduced the probability of being struck by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, truly defying the natural order.
[Ding, your disciple Shen Xiaoyao has ascended from the Dao Palace Realm to the Void Refinement Realm, you have been rewarded for your disciple’s realm advancement: Human Race’s Treasured Fragment×1.]
Another Human Race’s Treasured Fragment!
Serving as Shen Xiaoyao’s protector, Lu Changsheng obtained the fourth fragment of the Human Race’s Ultimate Treasure.
Lu Changsheng did not know how many Human Race’s Treasured Fragments could form a complete Ultimate Treasure, but judging by the current trend, it mustn’t be far off.
Lu Changsheng imparted a new cultivation technique to Shen Xiaoyao, the “Free and Easy Wandering Skills”.
Under Lu Changsheng’s guidance, Shen Xiaoyao quickly mastered the basics.
[Ding, you have imparted the lower-grade Immortal Realm cultivation technique “Free and Easy Wandering Skills” to your disciple Shen Xiaoyao, you have been rewarded with a ten-thousand-fold return gift: an upper-grade Immortal Realm cultivation technique “Free and Easy Extreme Intention Technique”.]
An upper-grade Immortal Realm cultivation technique?
This technique was no less profound than the twelfth layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique.
Shen Xiaoyao was not yet capable of comprehending such a high-level technique, so Lu Changsheng would keep it safe for him.
“This True Sun Sword, a lower-grade Immortal Sword, you may wield it.”
Lu Changsheng took out an Immortal Sword and bestowed it upon Shen Xiaoyao as his primary magical treasure.
The True Sun Sword gleamed with the color of blazing sunlight, making the cave dwelling on Qingyun Peak seem as though a sun had appeared.
This Immortal Sword, even among lower-grade Immortal Swords, was of superior quality, well-suited for Shen Xiaoyao with his Pure Yang Body to use, overcoming all demonic evils.
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Shen Xiaoyao with the lower-grade Immortal Artifact, “True Sun Sword”, and you have been rewarded with a hundred-fold return gift: a mid-grade Immortal Artifact, “Opening Sun Sword”.]
[Ding, the number of Immortal Artifacts that can be returned this month has been deducted by one, leaving four returns left for the remainder of the month.]
This was the third Divine Sword Lu Changsheng had obtained that was part of the Seven-Star Sword Formation.
Subsequently, Lu Changsheng imparted the Heaven Rank swordsmanship he had acquired from the Penglai Sword Sect, the “Penglai Sword Song” to Shen Xiaoyao.
“The Penglai Sword Song” was the ultimate skill of the Penglai Sword Sect; Lu Changsheng was curious about what technique it would yield in return.
[Ding, you have gifted your disciple Shen Xiaoyao with the upper-rank Heaven Grade swordsmanship “Penglai Sword Song”, and you have been rewarded with a hundred-fold return gift: a lower-grade Immortal Rank swordsmanship, “Penglai Wind-Riding True Skills”.]
[“Penglai Wind-Riding True Skills”: An Immortal Rank swordsmanship that integrates wind-riding skills with swordsmanship.]
As expected, “Penglai Sword Song” could still be further refined.
“Penglai Wind-Riding True Skills” was likely a technique created by the Penglai Sword Ancestor after ascending to the Immortal Realm.
Lu Changsheng then imparted the “Penglai Wind-Riding True Skills” he had obtained to Shen Xiaoyao.
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Shen Xiaoyao with the lower-grade Immortal Rank swordsmanship “Penglai Wind-Riding True Skills”, and you have been rewarded with a thirty-thousand-fold return gift: an upper-grade Immortal Rank swordsmanship, “Divine Sword Commanding Wind Art”.]
[“Divine Sword Commanding Wind Art”: An unsurpassed sword technique created by the Penglai Sword Ancestor who continuously perfected it within the Penglai Sword Sect, able to summon the winds of the Nine Heavens.]
An upper-grade Immortal Rank sword technique!
That was exactly what Lu Changsheng needed.
At the Great Gathering in Zhong Zhou, the powerful members from all major sects would attend; even if Lu Changsheng cultivated the middle-grade Immortal Sword technique “Heaven Escape Sword Skills” to the highest level, he was not certain about securing a place in the rankings at the Zhong Zhou Great Gathering.
Yet if he cultivated the upper-grade Immortal Sword technique “Divine Sword Commanding Wind Art” to the highest level, he would surely have a seat at the Zhong Zhou Great Gathering.
Lu Changsheng also bestowed upon Shen Xiaoyao the Enlightenment Daoist Robe left by the Ancestral Master of Mount Shu.
This could also be considered a hereditary robe of the Dao.
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Shen Xiaoyao with the lower-grade Immortal Artifact “Enlightenment Daoist Robe”, and you have been rewarded with a hundred-fold return gift: the mid-grade Immortal Artifact “Harmonizing Dao Robe”.]
[Ding, the number of Immortal Artifacts that can be returned this month has been deducted by one, leaving three returns left for the remainder of the month.]
The Harmonizing Dao Robe offered better effects than the Enlightenment Daoist Robe and could accelerate cultivation.
With this Immortal Artifact, the speed of seclusion cultivation to come would be even faster.
Shen Xiaoyao received the Power-infusing Initiation and then returned to cultivate in his own dwelling.
Lu Changsheng took out the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda; because of the trip to Penglai, Lu Changsheng had executed the Demon Cultivation practicing Pavilion Master of the Wind Thunder Pavilion, and this Merit Treasure had grown into a ten-layer Treasure Pagoda.
The Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was a supreme defensive treasure, the more layers it had, the stronger the defense.
“It seems that as my disciples perform good deeds and accumulate merit, I can also receive merit in return.”
“Next, I will enter seclusion, occasionally sending disciples down the mountain to slay demons and secure peace, allowing the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda to be nurtured by merit.”
After returning to Qingyun Peak this time, Lu Changsheng resumed his normal cultivation.
All the disciples on Qingyun Peak, apart from receiving Power-infusing Initiations and magical treasures from their master on schedule, cultivated on their own.
Each disciple took turns descending the mountain to cultivate, slaying demons and earning merit.
This accumulation of merit not only partially counted towards the merit given by Lu Changsheng for teaching, but it also aided these disciples.
If they were to obtain Merit Treasures in the future, the merit they had accrued would then be put to use.
Ten years after Shen Xiaoyao’s breakthrough, the fifth disciple, Ji Xuan, reached the peak of the Dao Palace Realm and began to face her Tribulation.
The Tribulation of the Demon Race was different.
The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder which suppressed all evil creatures and Demonic Qi, Ji Xuan, being a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox with a Demon God Physique, had to pay an even greater price to overcome her Tribulation.
Having learned that it was not easy for the Demon Race to undergo Tribulation from Daoist Earth Hound, Lu Changsheng temporarily lent the Demon Emperor Cauldron to Ji Xuan for protection.
Ji Xuan was grateful, never expecting her master would be willing to lend her the most powerful magical treasure at his disposal.
The Heavenly Tribulation drawn by the Demon God Physique was terrifying, lasting over two hours, with splendid lightning ravaging the heavens and the earth.
