The Xuanyin Elder was indeed eradicated by the Nirvana Flas Red Lotus, but the heretic cultivator from the Immortal Realm who possessed Xuanyin Elder was no easy foe.
He had rely controlled Xuanyin Elder while his true body hid in an unknown location.
Tens of thousands of miles away, Luo Feng's complexion was pale.
He had expended a great deal of magical power to manipulate Xuanyin Elder.
The death of Xuanyin Elder ultimately inflicted damage upon his true body.
"What a pity that I did not bring my magical artifact down to this realm... My realm is suppressed by the world's power, and if I were to break through to the Unity Realm, it would invite Heavenly Tribulation and I would have to ascend to the Immortal Realm anew."
"I can't kill Lu Changsheng, and even if I return to the Immortal Realm, I would be on the path to death."
"It seems I can only resort to the Summoning Demon Great Formation to call down other powerful beings from the Immortal Realm."
"No matter what, I must kill Lu Changsheng before he ascends to the Immortal Realm, otherwise..."
Luo Feng fell deep into thought.
He no longer had the power to kill Lu Changsheng, who had grown stronger, and had to find another way.
During the Zhong Zhou Convention, when Lu Changsheng retrieved the Nirvana Flas Red Lotus, his Harmonizing Dao Robe was soaked with sweat.
Lu Changsheng had used the Supre Dragon Origin Immortal Elixir to eradicate Xuanyin Elder, exhausting all his True Qi in the process.
As an ultimate treasure, the Nirvana Flas Red Lotus undoubtedly consud an astronomical amount of True Qi.
The crowd fell into an eerie silence.
Nobody had expected that Lu Changsheng would be able to bring out a twelfth-tier Immortal Pill and an ultimate treasure at the last mont.
Such legendary items are rarely seen by mortals.
The Supre Elder of the Star Pavilion, presiding over the Zhong Zhou Convention, felt his scalp tingle before finally regaining his composure, "The first place in this Zhong Zhou Convention goes to Mount Shu's Sect Leader Lu Changsheng!"
"Wow."
The strong representatives from various states and sects were all astounded.
Mount Shu has secured the title as champion of the Zhong Zhou Convention for the second ti after five hundred thousand years!
The champion of the Zhong Zhou Convention signifies the strongest being of the present era!
The various sects were boiling with excitent.
Mount Shu genuinely had sothing special to have won the championship twice and to produce both an ultimate treasure and a Sacred Tier Cultivation Technique.
Suddenly, Mount Shu beca a super sect standing on equal footing with the Star Pavilion, Dragon Tiger Sect, and Thousand Swords Manor.
The people of Mount Shu looked at each other in disbelief, as they had not expected Lu Changsheng to actually win first place at the Zhong Zhou Convention.
This Zhong Zhou Convention featured the Empress of Great Martial, a martial arts genius who developed her own Sacred Tier Cultivation Technique, and Xuanyin Elder, a terrifying being possessed by an Immortal Realm powerhouse. Yet Lu Changsheng defeated them all.
Lu Changsheng stood his ground, his eyes closed, digesting the insights from this battle.
Using the ultimate treasure, the Nirvana Flas Red Lotus, to its full extent, Lu Changsheng faintly touched upon the Great Dao Comprehension that transcended the Unity Realm.
"Sect Master Lu, would you honor us with a visit to our Flying Eagle Sect? We have a Ginseng King that has been cultivated for a hundred thousand years. As long as Sect Master Lu bestows the honor, our Flying Eagle Sect is willing to offer a portion of the Ginseng King as hospitality."
"Our junior Temple Master from the Five Thunder Temple is an exceptional genius who reached the Void Refinent Realm after only two hundred years of cultivation. We at Five Thunder Temple are willing to propose a marriage alliance with Sect Master Lu's female disciple. May I inquire about Sect Master Lu's thoughts on this?"
"Senior Lu, I have doubts regarding the Sword Dao and wish to seek your guidance."
The leaders of various sects simultaneously sent private ssages to Lu Changsheng, seeking to establish a connection with him.
As the winner of the Zhong Zhou Convention, Lu Changsheng's strength was far above theirs, and even a slight hint from him could greatly benefit them.
"This ti, the sect Ling'er's husband-to-be belongs to, Mount Shu, will surely shine brilliantly. Ling'er has not been wronged."
Tang Wansan held Mount Shu in an even higher regard.
With the ergence of an exceptional powerhouse like Lu Changsheng, Mount Shu's status beca extraordinary, destined to attract more and more unparalleled geniuses to seek apprenticeship in Mount Shu, and thus enabling Mount Shu to recruit more talents.
Since Shen Xiaoyao was a disciple originating from Mount Shu, an alliance through marriage between the Star Pavilion and Mount Shu would benefit both parties imnsely.
The Empress of Great Martial, Wu Yue, watched with admiration as Lu Changsheng displayed an Immortal Pill and magical treasures she had never seen before, unexpectedly surpassing her anticipation.
Lu Changsheng was even better than she had imagined.
The Penglai Fairy sighed quietly to herself.
If it weren't for the likes of Xia Ningxue and Wu Yue, who possessed even more astonishing talents, she, the Penglai Fairy, with her Spirit Sword Physique, might have beco Daoist partners with Lu Changsheng.
Unfortunately, in comparison with Xia Ningxue and Wu Yue, the Penglai Fairy didn't shine quite as brightly.
"Are you injured?"
Xia Ningxue, carrying the Immortal Slaying Sword on her back, didn't know how to congratulate Lu Changsheng upon his return, so she simply asked.
"It's nothing serious."
Lu Changsheng had the Immortal Divine Art, and as long as he wasn't completely destroyed in both spirit and form, he could be reborn.
The Xuanyin Elder had reached Great Perfection in the Immortal Divine Art, and if it weren't for the formless Nirvana Flas Red Lotus like a bone-eroding disease completely annihilating him, Luo Feng could still manipulate Xuanyin Elder to continue the battle.
"However, the heretic cultivator from the Immortal Realm who possessed Xuanyin Elder's body has not been killed, and he might reappear at any ti."
Lu Changsheng could sense that the heretic cultivator from the Immortal Realm had divided part of his Divine Sense to control Xuanyin Elder, while his true body was still alive.
"As long as he appears again, the two of us together should be enough to deal with him."
Xia Ningxue saw Lu Changsheng defeat the Xuanyin Elder with his own strength; she believed that even if Luo Feng appeared, the two of them using the Holy Spirit Sword Art could defeat him.
Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue had defeated the Demon Lord with the Holy Spirit Sword Art, and as ti passed, their cultivation had greatly improved. If they were to use the Holy Spirit Sword Art again, its power would be incomparable to that of the past.
"I hope so."
Lu Changsheng always felt that things were not so simple, but he was not in a hurry.
It wouldn't be long before he could ascend to the Immortal Realm.
Before ascending to the Immortal Realm, Lu Changsheng still wanted to continue teaching his disciples, trying to accumulate more treasures and life-saving thods.
According to what Xuanyin Elder had said, there was a Supre Being in the Immortal Realm who wanted to kill him, suggesting that the Immortal Realm was far from a peaceful haven.
The various sects had more or less absolute geniuses who had ascended to the Immortal Realm, where there were many old monsters who had cultivated for tens of thousands or even millions of years.
Even if Lu Changsheng was invincible in this realm, upon reaching the Immortal Realm, he would still need to find ways to stay alive in the face of old monsters that had ascended long ago.
"My disciples won't be able to keep up with my cultivation in a short ti. When I'm in the Immortal Realm, I'll need to find a few more disciples in order to continue teaching."
Lu Changsheng began to plan for what to do after his ascension to the Immortal Realm.
Without long-term concerns, there will be imdiate worries.
If he didn't prepare in advance, upon reaching the Immortal Realm, he wouldn't even know how he died.
Old monsters that had cultivated for tens or hundreds of thousands of years only had more terrifying thoughts and thods.
After the Zhong Zhou grand eting ended, Lu Changsheng and the cultivators from Xia State made a brief stop at the Star Pavilion.
Mount Shu's Shen Xiaoyao and the Star Pavilion's Tang Ling'er were to be married, which was a significant event; as Shen Xiaoyao's master, Lu Changsheng naturally had to make the arrangents for him.
Lu Changsheng had once saved Tang Wansan's life, and Tang Wansan treated him with the highest honor, occasionally discussing his doubts about cultivation with Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng also took the opportunity to inquire about the Immortal Realm.
Over generations, nurous people from the Star Pavilion had ascended to the Immortal Realm, many tis more than from Mount Shu, so it was possible they had information about the general situation in the Immortal Realm.
"Discussing the Great Dao with Brother Lu has brought enlightennt. As for the state of the Immortal Realm, our Star Pavilion does indeed have so records, but these records are just fragnts and their authenticity has not been verified since none of our ancestors who ascended to the Immortal Realm have ever descended again.
It is said that the higher one's realm, the stronger the resistance from the force of this world will be, even carrying the risk of falling, so those strong beings from the Immortal Realm will never descend lightly."
"Whatever fragnts Pavilion Master Tang knows, please do tell them to , I'd take them as a reference."
Although the records about the Immortal Realm from the Star Pavilion might not necessarily be true, they were one of the few legends available.
"According to the ancient tos of our Star Pavilion, there exist three thousand minor worlds, and our realm is rely one of them, while the Immortal Realm towers above these three thousand worlds as the ultimate destination for all powerful beings."
"The Immortal Realm is vast and boundless, with no fixed abode to be sought, and its beginning is unknown."
Tang Wansan simply described the legendary state of the Immortal Realm.
"…"
Why does Lu Changsheng feel like he's listening to a bewildering tale?
It seems the Star Pavilion doesn't really know the specifics about the Immortal Realm.
Lu Changsheng pondered that he must wait for his disciples' cultivation to reach the Unity Realm and gather a bagful of twelfth-grade Immortal Elixirs and several Ultimate Treasures before he dares to choose the day to ascend.
