Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Choose Any Immortal Artifact, A Treasure Once Used by the Ancestral Master? (5th Update)
At Ten Thousand Swords Peak, Lu Changsheng transformed into a stream of light that descended. Before the countless sword ramparts, only the Sect Leader of Mount Shu stood alone, while in the distance, an old handyman of Ten Thousand Swords Peak was sweeping fallen leaves.
The cultivation level of the Sect Leader of Mount Shu remained above Lu Changsheng’s, but as Lu Changsheng’s cultivation reached the fourth layer of the Void Refinement Realm, the gap between their strengths had become less unfathomable.
“Longevity, is your realm now at the fourth layer of the Void Refinement Realm?”
“Yes.”
“According to an unwritten rule of our Mount Shu, if a Supreme Elder’s cultivation has reached the fourth layer of the Void Refinement Realm, should the Sect have any spare low-grade Immortal Artifacts, they may obtain one.”
“Actually, there is another unwritten rule—to prevent Supreme Elders from falling into the Demonic Dao and taking away Immortal Artifacts, such a Supreme Elder must have made sufficient contributions to the Sect.”
“Your cultivation period has been short, but you have established merits in dealing with the four Great Demon Sects and the Demon Race of Huang State, thus satisfying the conditions.”
“Furthermore, given your incredibly rapid cultivation pace, it’s very possible you are a person marked by destiny. Therefore, I have prepared some spare Immortal Artifacts for you to choose from in exception to the rules.”
The Real Taiyuan waved his sleeve, and six low-grade Immortal Artifacts appeared.
Each low-grade Immortal Artifact radiated an astonishing oppressive force.
Bringing out six spare low-grade Immortal Artifacts at once?!
Lu Changsheng was somewhat shocked.
Mount Shu indeed deserved to be at the forefront of the six major sects, with a deep foundation accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years!
Originally, the Sect Leader of Mount Shu could decide which Immortal Artifact to reward a Supreme Elder with, but now the Real Taiyuan was allowing Lu Changsheng to choose one from among the six artifacts, which was essentially providing Lu Changsheng with exceptional treatment.
Of the six low-grade Immortal Artifacts, there were two thin swords, one giant sword, a Fire Spirit Pearl, an ancient zither, and a Daoist Robe.
As Mount Shu predominantly cultivated swordsmanship, it was natural that the majority of Immortal Artifacts were longswords—in fact, three out of the six artifacts were Flying Sword treasures.
Although Immortal Swords could enhance Lu Changsheng’s reformed Tiangang Sword Formation significantly, Lu Changsheng was not currently in need of a low-grade Immortal Sword treasure.
The Fire Spirit Pearl was even less appealing to Lu Changsheng than the Immortal Swords, given that he already possessed a mid-grade Immortal Mysterious Fire Mirror, a low-grade True Dragon Godly Fire Cloak, and the Samadhi True Fire Divine Banner. Adding another Fire Spirit Pearl would bring only a negligible improvement.
An ancient zither…
Lu Changsheng who was tone-deaf didn’t even consider it.
Lastly was a Daoist Robe covered in chaotic totems.
At a mere glance, it seemed as though one’s spirit could be lost within it.
“This Daoist Robe is known as the ‘Enlightenment Daoist Robe,’ it was a treasure used by the Ancestral Master of Mount Shu before ascending to the Immortal Realm. Among the low-grade Immortal Artifacts, it’s considered an exceptional defensive treasure and can also enhance one’s Comprehension. However, only those with a special Innate Taoist Body can gain the robe’s recognition.”
Seeing Lu Changsheng’s gaze fixed upon the Enlightenment Daoist Robe, the Real Taiyuan revealed an ‘as expected’ expression.
The Real Taiyuan had racked his brains to bestow teachings upon his disciple and had come up with the idea of offering this spare Immortal Artifact.
Since the Ancestral Master had appeared to Lu Changsheng in a dream, he would surely gain the robe’s recognition, right?
“I choose this Daoist Robe,” the disciple declared.
Since this was a benefit of Mount Shu, Lu Changsheng would not decline the treasure once used by the Ancestral Master before his ascension.
“Good.”
The Real Taiyuan waved his sleeve once more, causing the other five Immortal Artifacts to disappear, leaving the Daoist Robe to fall into Lu Changsheng’s hands.
Donning the Enlightenment Daoist Robe, the chaotic totems upon the robe seemed to come to life, churning in motion, resonating with Lu Changsheng’s Innate Taoist Body.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng’s Comprehension improved, and his cultivation speed increased even further.
The Enlightenment Daoist Robe and the Innate Taoist Body harmonized perfectly.
“This object is indeed fated with you. Since the Ancestral Master of Mount Shu, no one has used this Daoist Robe. Now that the Immortal Artifact has a master, as your teacher, I am very pleased.”
The moment the Enlightenment Daoist Robe acknowledged its master, Taiyuan Zhenren and the old handyman were both startled again.
Although they had already anticipated that Lu Changsheng was the person prophesied by the Ancestral Master of Mount Shu to face the impending calamity, Lu Changsheng being recognized by the Ancestral Master’s Enlightenment Daoist Robe still left them astounded.
Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, was thinking that he had yet another means to save his life.
The Mysterious Yellow Tower, Enlightenment Daoist Robe, Fourth Revolution Demon Body, Drunken Fairy Gazing Moon Step, as well as various high-level Elixir Pills and Talismans; unless his opponent’s realm was much higher than his own, Lu Changsheng didn’t know how he could possibly be killed by someone else.
The Enlightenment Daoist Robe also had the effect of enhancing Comprehension, which could speed up cultivation.
Lu Changsheng, already in possession of two lower-grade Immortal Swords, really didn’t care about having one more.
What Lu Changsheng needed was to swiftly increase his cultivation level.
“Disciple thanks Master.”
Taiyuan Zhenren gave him the chance to choose the Enlightenment Daoist Robe, for which Lu Changsheng was somewhat grateful in his heart.
As the Sect Leader of Mount Shu, Taiyuan Zhenren explained the Taiqing Wuji Technique to him and allowed him to choose an Immortal Artifact. Such a master had truly fulfilled his duty with compassionate righteousness.
“There’s no need, your advancement in cultivation also benefits Mount Shu. If your cultivation surpasses your teacher’s, you may need to contribute during the future catastrophe. The Demon Lord possesses the Pan Ni Phoenix Physique, and your teacher was no match for him last time. This time, after narrowly escaping death under the sword of your Elder Martial Uncle, once he recovers from his injuries, his cultivation will only be higher and your teacher will be even less of a match for him. Unless we rely on the Mountain Protection Array… In short, until your cultivation surpasses your teacher’s, your teacher will bear the burden. As the Sect Leader of Mount Shu, it’s my indisputable duty.”
With his hands clasped behind his back, Taiyuan Zhenren looked towards the south, where clouds surged in the sea of mist, and occasionally a strand of purple qi could be seen between heaven and earth.
Pan Ni Phoenix Physique?
Lu Changsheng had read about this special physique in the “Records of Special Physiques Through the Ages” in the Mount Shu archives.
It was a unique physique only found in the ancient phoenix clans, an immortal phoenix reborn from fire.
As long as the Demon Lord could not be killed, his cultivation would grow ever stronger until he ascended.
This kind of unique and contrary-to-nature physique was no wonder the six major factions were so wary of the Demon Lord.
If the Demon Lord had a few more chances to rise from near death, it was likely no one in this realm could contend with him.
“I must catch up to the Demon Lord’s cultivation level as soon as possible, and then eradicate him directly, not giving him any chance to escape.”
Having learned of the Demon Lord’s special physique, Lu Changsheng had formulated a strategy to deal with him.
To defeat the Demon Lord, it was necessary to completely obliterate him, both body and soul, so that he would have no chance of rebirth.
“Since you have come, your teacher will also explain to you the ninth layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique. While the Great Perfection of the ninth layer of Taiqing Wuji Technique is still insufficient to deal with the Demon Lord, it is still a Supreme Skill. With this foundation, your cultivation of Immortal-level techniques will be twice as effective with half the effort.”
Taiyuan Zhenren took the opportunity to explain the ninth layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique to Lu Changsheng.
However, Taiyuan Zhenren was unaware that Lu Changsheng already possessed the tenth volume of the Taiqing Wuji Technique, and if it reached Great Perfection, it might not be inferior to the Demon Lord.
Lu Changsheng followed Taiyuan Zhenren and continued to cultivate the Taiqing Wuji Technique.
“Given this disciple’s speed of cultivation, the ninth layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique will soon achieve Great Perfection. I only fully grasped the ninth layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique at the seventh level of the Void Refinement Realm… his Comprehension is truly astonishing.”
Taiyuan Zhenren discovered that at the fourth level of the Void Refinement Realm, Lu Changsheng possessed insights equivalent to the sixth level of the Void Refinement Realm, and was secretly amazed.
