Chapter 1113: Chapter 683: Victory! (4K)_2

The influence of the Mysterious Lady Palace is ten times that of the Mount Taihua Sacred Land.

The Mount Taihua Sacred Land was even established by the Taihua Sword Maiden who broke away from the Mysterious Lady Palace, so calling it a branch of the Mysterious Lady Palace wouldn’t be too far off.

Most importantly, the Mysterious Lady Palace is neutral in this conflict. If the Palace Master of the Mysterious Lady Palace and the Qiongxiao Sword Maiden stayed, it would mean supporting Lu Changsheng, which might invite dissatisfaction from the Miluo Palace.

“Lu Changsheng, we’ll meet again next time.”

Yuexi waved to Lu Changsheng.

“Hmm?”

Xia Ningxue glared at Yuexi.

How could this woman be interested in Lu Changsheng, even after becoming her rival at the Heavenly Court Grand Meeting?

Yuexi made a face and then turned to leave with the people of the Mysterious Lady Palace.

“Hua Zhi, since you’re here, why not stay a few more days?”

Lu Changsheng tried to persuade Mo Huazhi to stay.

He planned to reward Mo Huazhi with a batch of Confucian Sect’s magical treasures.

Mo Huazhi nodded: “Alright.”

“This is our first visit to Mount Taihua Sacred Land.”

“Who would have thought that Uncle Master Mo is a disciple of the Taihua Holy Son?”

“The Master holds Lu Holy Son in high regard and asked us to support him as much as possible.”

“I heard that the Master also had some interactions with Lin Shiyun, the Taihua Sword Maiden who established Mount Taihua Sacred Land.”

The Confucian Scholars from Ziyang Academy curiously looked around Mount Taihua Sacred Land.

The Holy Maiden from Jade Pool Holy Land, Liu Yiyi, timidly asked Lu Changsheng: “That…”

“You’re wondering where Aotian is, right? Just go to Yuntai Peak.”

Lu Changsheng knew that Liu Yiyi came with two purposes: to help out and to meet Dugu Aotian.

The two of them had been in close contact privately.

It’s undeniable that Dugu Mietian abducted the previous Holy Maiden of Jade Pool, and now his son, Dugu Aotian, is closely involved with the current Holy Maiden. Indeed, they are close relatives.

Liu Yiyi’s face blushed. After giving instructions to the people of Jade Pool, she went to Yuntai Peak alone.

Lin Xuantong, the Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan, and others were in the Guest-Receiving Palace, entertaining guests from various Holy Lands.

The precious Enlightenment Tea was also served to make connections with all kinds of geniuses.

“This competition has proven that my disciple’s strength has surpassed that of his master. I plan to hand over all matters of the Holy Land to Longevity soon.”

Lin Xuantong announced his decision after several rounds of drinks.

Great Experts like Lin Shiyu and Youran True Sovereign were not surprised at all.

The strength Lu Changsheng displayed even surpassed Lin Xuantong, so it’s no wonder that Lin Xuantong is handing over power to his disciple.

Disciples from the Kunlun Holy Land and Cloud Mountain Holy Land were dumbfounded.

How long has Lu Changsheng been cultivating, and he’s already about to succeed Lin Xuantong as the leader of Mount Taihua Sacred Land!

The previous time this happened was at Guanghan Palace.

With the example of Xia Ningxue before them, people weren’t so astonished.

Jiang Sheng, Jiang Yu, and others had rather displeased expressions.

The influence of the Lin Family was already above the Jiang Family.

And now here comes an outsider, who is to become the Saint Lord, making the Jiang Family’s voice in Mount Taihua Sacred Land even weaker, doesn’t it?

“Master, in the coming period, I plan to train under Elder Su, so I won’t be able to handle the affairs of the Holy Land.”

Lu Changsheng had little interest in leading the Holy Land.

The second bout with Emperor Ku sounded an alarm for Lu Changsheng.

Emperor Ku is indeed strong.

The Supreme Emperor Body, combined with the “Creation Divine Skills,” would have defeated Lu Changsheng if Xia Ningxue hadn’t used the “Endless Affection Skills” to discreetly transfer True Qi to him and share his injuries.

The “Creation Divine Skills” is divided into nine great heavenly realms, and Emperor Ku had only achieved the first great heavenly realm, yet the pressure on Lu Changsheng was unprecedented.

If Emperor Ku’s Supreme Emperor Body was perfected and he completely mastered the “Creation Divine Skills,” it would be terrifying indeed.

Defeating Emperor Ku twice consecutively also indirectly offended the Miluo Palace.

The Miluo Palace refrained from acting out of face.

Lu Changsheng must be wary.

Enhancing his own strength quickly is the best strategy.

Su Wudi is an ancient power, under the Heavenly Emperor, and with his guidance, Lu Changsheng’s cultivation progress would be faster.

“No worries, go and train, Han’er, you will serve as Vice Holy Master to assist Longevity.”

Lin Xuantong had planned for this long ago.

Lu Changsheng is passionate about immortality and less interested in power, so Lin Qinghan aids Lu Changsheng in managing affairs, while in reality, the Lin Family maintains control.

“Lin Xuantong is quite fortunate. He has an extraordinary disciple and even schemes well, knowing how to leverage the disciple’s reputation to elevate Mount Taihua Sacred Land’s status while keeping the power within his own family.”

Youran True Sovereign, being experienced, saw Lin Xuantong’s intentions.

The best way to ensure the Lin Family’s rule is for Lu Changsheng to marry into the family and form a union with Lin Qinghan.

However, since Lu Changsheng already has a Dao companion, Lin Xuantong opted for a lesser decision.

Lin Qinghan declined: “Father, you are in your prime, shouldn’t you continue handling the affairs yourself…”

Lin Xuantong interrupted his daughter: “I have another important matter to attend to, and I am unable to split my attention. It’s time for you to take on a greater role.”

“Yes.”

Lin Qinghan could only agree.

Lu Changsheng then noticed something else and secretly transmitted a message to Lin Xuantong: “Is there anything my disciple can assist with in this important matter you mentioned, Master?”

Lin Xuantong shook his head: “You truly cannot assist with this matter.”

Although Lu Changsheng was curious about what required Lin Xuantong’s personal intervention, since Lin Xuantong did not elaborate, Lu Changsheng did not press further.

Whatever could make Lin Xuantong set aside the affairs of the Holy Land to focus wholeheartedly must not be trivial.

With Lin Xuantong’s meticulous mind and schemes, if he’s personally handling it, he surely has confidence and a plan.

Youran True Sovereign was naturally curious too, but he knew that others shouldn’t meddle in family affairs, so he sipped the Enlightenment Tea: “Good tea, good tea.”

Yuntai Peak, Yun Qianyue stared at the departing groups from the Miluo Palace and Mysterious Lady Palace, deep in thought.

The mountain wind blew, causing her plain skirt to sway.

Xu Jing beside her said: “Still, Master is outstanding, forcing the multitude from the Miluo Palace to retreat. Yun, I recall your former sect, the Heavenly Sect, aimed to surpass the Heavenly Court. Compared with the Miluo Palace back then, how did the Heavenly Sect fare? Hmm? Yun, won’t you speak?”

Seeing Yun Qianyue silent, Xu Jing leaned closer, curious about her preoccupation.

Yun Qianyue covered Xu Jing’s face with her hand and pushed him away: “At its peak, our Heavenly Sect was no less than the Miluo Palace.”

“Haha, it’s good that you’re speaking, Junior Sister.”

Xu Jing thought Yun Qianyue was again troubled by past memories.

“My master is truly formidable…”

Yun Qianyue sighed.

In another Daoist Temple on Yuntai Peak, Liu Yiyi met Dugu Aotian.

Due to the identity of the Demon Marshal’s son, Dugu Aotian refrained from appearing openly when people from the Heavenly Court arrived, so he stayed on Yuntai Peak.

Seeing Liu Yiyi arrive, he was slightly surprised: “Why you?”

Liu Yiyi pouted: “Do you forget me because it’s been too long?”

“…I dare not.”

“You better not.”

Liu Yiyi surveyed Dugu Aotian’s Daoist Temple, which, apart from a wooden house, a pavilion, a courtyard with a pine tree, and a flowing pond, was devoid of anything extra.

Even the furniture was merely simple redwood tables and chairs.

This reassured Liu Yiyi quite a bit.

At least there wasn’t any fox spirit scent.

“You’re on the verge of a breakthrough?”

Liu Yiyi sensed that Dugu Aotian had reached the Great Accomplishment Immortal Emperor stage and was only a step away from the Divine King Realm.

“Just a little more. But for some reason, I always find it hard to take the last step.”

Dugu Aotian had been secluded on Yuntai Peak for a long time, yet the breakthrough eluded him.

Liu Yiyi pondered: “Perhaps you need to go down the mountain for training. How about I accompany you on a journey? I am also seeking a breakthrough opportunity.”

“What about explaining to your parents?”

“I’ll just say I’m training under your master’s tutelage for a while. I’m sure my parents won’t mind, and it wouldn’t be deceitful.”

Liu Yiyi thought that the news of Lu Changsheng defeating Emperor Ku again would surely create a sensation across the Three Realms.

Hearing that Liu Yiyi was training under Lu Changsheng, Liu Mufeng and Feng Qing’er would be eager for such an opportunity.
