Chapter 89: Chapter 89 Murong (Average subscriptions of 300 lead to additional updates)
Over the next three days, Lu Changsheng bestowed upon Lin Qjngzhi a variety of magical treasures, including Banners of Laws, Spirit Towers, and Dharma Seals.
The Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator returned one medium-quality Innate Spirit Treasure and eight low-quality Innate Spirit Treasures.
“Immortal Artifacts are really hard to come by, the probability is too low,” “Unless the disciple enters the Dao Palace Realm and is bestowed Innate Spirit Treasures, there’s a better chance of obtaining Immortal Artifacts.”
In these three days, Lu Changsheng still hadn’t managed to obtain an Immortal Artifact, and since the eldest disciple was already preparing to lead a team to the Immortal Ruins, Lu Changsheng could only continue to award magical treasures to his disciple Lin Qingzhi along the way.
“You two stay behind at Qingyun Peak, while your eldest disciple and I travel down the mountain,”
Do not stir up trouble while I am gone,”
Lu Changsheng left behind two disciples and then proceeded to Mount Shu’s main hall with his eldest disciple.
“Master has gone out, and junior sister is busy reading; I might as well go to Fire Lotus Peak to cultivate,”
Lian s eyes darted around. Mount Shu had assigned her a cave dwelling on the rear mountain’s Fire Lotus Peak, a place Lian had never visited before. Now was a good opportunity to remodel Fire Lotus Peak and fully turn it into her own cave dwelling.
In Mount Shu’s main hall, Sect Leader Li Changye, Song Wuchuan, Zhao Wuyan, and other Dao Palace Realm elders of Mount Shu gathered together.
Lu Changsheng, accompanied by Lin Qingzhi, landed in front of the main hall and surveyed the assembled elders of Mount Shu.
Apart from familiar Dao Palace Realm Elders like Li Changye, Song Wuchuan, Zhao Wuyan, and Fairy Qingru, there were also several unfamiliar Dao Palace Realm Elders who had emerged.
“These are the disciples of the Supreme Elders from the rear mountain; their cultivation levels are not low,”
Zhao Wuyan, well-versed in various gossip, explained to Lu Changsheng.
So, these were the disciples of the Supreme Elders.
Lu Changsheng knew that the rear mountain harbored many Supreme Elders in seclusion, cultivating in their cave dwellings. Since Grandmaster Taiyuan had taken disciples like Li Changye, Song Wuchuan, Zhao Wuyan, and Lu Changsheng, the Supreme Elders also had their own disciples.
These disciples typically kept a low profile, content to cultivate peacefully on the rear mountain where their masters resided.
Now, with the emergence of the Immortal Ruins, who knew who would acquire the strange treasures and inheritances inside? Everyone wanted to try their luck.
Two graceful figures descended, and their Flying Swords returned to their sheaths.
Eldest disciple Li Changye recognized the newcomers and gave a respectful bow, “Murong senior sister,”
The eldest disciple even referred to the other as senior sister?
The many Mount Shu elders turned their gaze uniformly toward the two arrivals.
They were two women, one of whom Lu Changsheng recognized as Chen Yao, known to be close to his eldest disciple.
Chen Yao followed another woman, who seemed to be her senior sister.
Since Chen Yao was a disciple of the Sect Leader, this Murong senior sister was very likely also a disciple of the Sect Leader and had been cultivating in Mount Shu for even longer than Li Changye, which was why Li Changye called her senior sister.
Zhao Wuyan transmitted another message, “Murong senior sister is a Direct Disciple of a Supreme Elder; it is said that her cultivation is also at the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm. With the Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Lu, and Murong senior sister leading the team, it’s in good hands.”
Lu Changsheng’s guess was not wrong; Mount Shu was a place where hidden experts dwelled, its true foundation not in the front mountain, but in the rear mountain.
In the rear mountain, many Supreme Elders and their disciples cultivated in seclusion, silent until they did something that shook the world.
“Brother Li,”
“Brother Lu,”
Murong senior sister greeted Li Changye and also nodded specifically to Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng, as a young elder who had risen to prominence in recent years due to the Ancestral Master’s dream, was well-known to Murong senior sister. Moreover, with junior sister Chen Yao often visiting Qjngyun Peak, Murong senior sister’s impression of Qjngyun Peak’s Lu Changsheng was particularly strong.
“Sister Murong.”
The other party took the initiative to greet him, and Lu Changsheng responded in kind.
Damn it, are Lin Qingzhi and Chen Yao also planning to go to the Immortal
Ruins?”
Walking behind Li Changye, Xiao Xiangdao noticed Lin Qingzhi and Chen Yao following Lu Changsheng and Sister Murong to the Immortal Ruins, and he couldn’t help feeling bitter.
He had thought he was the only Nascent Soul Realm disciple brave enough to venture into the Immortal Ruins.
“The Sect Leader is here.”
At someone’s words, everyone fell silent, as the Master Taiyuan had arrived.
Master Taiyuan spoke, “The world force of the Divine Tree Immortal Ruins only allows beings below the Void Refinement Realm to enter. Even I cannot break the world force of the Immortal Ruins, so I can only escort you to the entrance of the Immortal Ruins. After that, you must be extremely careful and prioritize your safety. If you find the challenge too great, retreat immediately.” Everyone answered in unison, “Disciple will bear it in mind.”
“Let’s set out.”
Master Taiyuan led a group of elders from Mount Shu and Dao Palace to northern Huang State.
In the Martial Alliance, a group of Body Refinement fanatics gathered, each with a vigorous Heavenly Spirit, towering statures, and robust physiques.
Ye Wen, the Martial Alliance’s chief disciple, saluted the alliance leader with a fist and said, “Master, everyone has arrived; we can set out now.”
“Make sure you perform well this time. If you can obtain the inheritance of the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor, that would be best. If not predestined, then kill a few more elders from the Demon Sects.”
“I will lead you on this journey.”
Grandmaster Chen directly rose into the sky, traveling with Ye Wen and other disciples on the winds.
The bodies of the elders of the Martial Alliance were their best weapons; they could fly without Flying Swords, though it consumed more True Qi.
At the gate of the Immeasurable Temple, a group of monks gathered, behind them stood the towering Heaven-reaching Divine Temple, with Buddha’s light shining for thousands of miles, enveloping several nations within Xia State.
The Immeasurable Temple collected the Power of Faith from some of the vassal states of Xia State. Over the years, its foundations had become unfathomably deep, giving birth to divine monks.
“Amitabha Buddha, the inheritance of the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor is mostly unrelated to our Immeasurable Temple, but having received requests from Master Taiyuan and Grandmaster Chen to work together against the four great Demon Sects, our Immeasurable Temple must also make an effort.”
Master Wuxiang brought out his Buddha Beads, leading elders like Master Mingzhi, Master Mingxin, Master Mingrang, and others from the Immeasurable Temple to the Immortal Ruins.
Hidden Dragon Temple consisted of three thousand Daoist temples linked together, with small bridges over flowing water, green tiles and white walls, pavilions, towers, and winding corridors.
“Temple Master.”
As Temple Master Yu Xuanji arrived, the elders of the Hidden Dragon Temple respectfully saluted.
Yu Xuanji, with the Body of the Literary Sage, was exceptionally talented, adept at poetry, array formations, and divination, and his cultivation was profound and immeasurable.
Yu Xuanji spoke in his usual unhurried tone, “Zhuge Changming, you will lead the team into the Immortal Ruins this time. Your cultivation may not compare to Li Changye of Mount Shu, but our Hidden Dragon Temple excels in strategy. Your leadership ability is by no means inferior to Li Changye’s.”
Zhuge Changming bowed, “Disciple will not let Master down.”
In addition to Mount Shu, Martial Alliance, Immeasurable Temple, and Hidden Dragon Temple, Inquiry Immortal Pavilion and Refinement Sect each sent their disciples to explore the Immortal Ruins.
On the way, Lu Changsheng continued to bestow Power-infusing Initiation and treasures upon his disciple Lin Qingzhi.
The amount of Spiritual Energy Lin Qingzhi received from one Power-infusing
Initiation required a long time for him to Refine.
However, this initiation brought Lu Changsheng to the brink of the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm.
He was just half a step away from stepping into the ninth level of the Dao
Palace Realm.
It would take two to three days to travel from Mount Shu to the northern border of Huang State, giving Lu Changsheng another opportunity to bestow treasures.
Before leaving Mount Shu, Lu Changsheng had exchanged Sect Contribution Points for a dozen ordinary Spiritual Artifacts. If these Spiritual Artifacts were bestowed a couple more times, they had the potential to become Innate Spirit Treasures or even Immortal Artifacts.
