Chapter 1125: Chapter 689: Gathering of Noble Geniuses! (4K)_2

“What is the relationship between Lord Lu and Ziyang Academy? Why has even such a figure as the Master come?”

“The Master was well-versed in all Confucian Sect skills since the ancient times, with cultivation reaching the heavens. Who knows how powerful the Master has become after countless years?”

The Holy Mother of Yaochi, Youran True Sovereign, Diwei True Sovereign, Long Tianyu, Sword Saint Chen, Taichu Saint Lord, Yan Feng, and other supreme experts all held great respect for the Master.

The Master is one of the founding figures of the Confucian Sect in the Immortal Realm, equivalent to having pioneered a new path.

The Master’s strength has won their admiration.

No one here dares claim to be the Master’s equal.

Shortly after the Imperial Guard of the Immortal Dynasty had given prior notice, Princess Yao Yusheng led the Immortal Dynasty’s team grandly down to the square in front of the gate of Mount Taihua Sacred Land.

Yao Yusheng, beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, dressed in magnificent and elegant clothing, walked gracefully, her hair ornament swaying gently, catching the eyes of many male and female disciples.

Male disciples love to gaze at beauty, and female disciples do as well.

“Lord Lu ascends, I have come specifically to extend my congratulations,”

Yao Yusheng spoke, her voice heavenly.

Lu Changsheng shared the “Qing Emperor Manuscript” with Yao Yusheng, allowing her cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, further confirming Lu Changsheng’s value as someone worth associating with.

Now that Lu Changsheng is in charge of Mount Taihua Sacred Land, Yao Yusheng naturally came to offer her congratulations.

However, because the Immortal Dynasty is backed by Miluo Palace, which is at odds with Lu Changsheng, Yao Yusheng came in her own name to celebrate Lu Changsheng, not on behalf of the Immortal Dynasty.

A disciple of Mount Taihua Sacred Land quickly said, “Thank you, Your Highness Princess, for your kindness. We will have disciples guide you and offer a welcome.”

A vast and righteous aura swept over, making everyone feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze, their hearts feeling serene and joyful.

A group of Confucian scholars descended, putting away their flying swords.

This group of Confucian scholars, male and female, all exuded a scholarly aura.

The leader was an elder with graying temples, a broad face, square mouth, and piercing eyes.

Youran True Sovereign, Diwei True Sovereign, Long Tianyu, Sword Saint Chen, and others bowed one after another: “Greetings to the Master.”

The Master nodded: “Friends coming from afar, this time Taihua Divine Mountain is going to be lively.”

Youran True Sovereign tentatively asked, “Master, you have been in meditation on Mount Ziyang for years. Why have you come to join in the excitement?”

The Master answered, “I have a disciple who was originally Lu Changsheng’s disciple.”

“So that’s how it is.”

Youran True Sovereign, Diwei True Sovereign, Long Tianyu, Sword Saint Chen, and others suddenly realized.

This layer of Lu Changsheng’s connections isn’t known to many.

“Does Lord Lu also have a connection with the Master from Ziyang Academy?”

“Just how extensive are our Lord’s connections?”

“Is this the legendary Master? It’s rumored that the Master is the foremost of the Nine Great Confucian Sects, one of the great powers second only to the Heavenly Emperor.”

“Hiss… Is the Master really that strong?”

“I only heard about it.”

The representatives from various sects and human dynasties whispered, fortunate to see the legendary Master of the Confucian Sect, opening their eyes wide.

A great power of the Master’s level is more than just as elusive as a dragon; except for the once-in-a-million-years Confucian sect conference, they rarely appear before the world.

“Hahaha, Master, I didn’t expect you here too, come, let’s battle for three days and nights!”

With the cheerful voice, even as composed as the Master couldn’t help but change his expression.

Likewise, Diwei True Sovereign, Long Tianyu, and other great powers’ expressions changed.

Long Tianyu, who bears the bloodline of both the human race and the dragon clan, couldn’t help but say bitterly, “A troublesome guy has come. Why has this guy also joined the fun…”

Diwei True Sovereign remained silent, his face gloomy.

Everyone turned uniformly toward the arriving team, wanting to know who could make even the likes of the proud Long Tianyu, the composed Master, and the sharp-tongued Diwei True Sovereign wary.

“Oh? Long Tianyu, Diwei True Sovereign, you’re here too? Later, the two of you come together, I’ll take on ten of you.”

The one who arrived so forcefully, making many great powers wary, is Su Wudi.

Su Wudi came to support Lu Changsheng.

However, Long Tianyu, Diwei True Sovereign, and even the Master have all been challenged by Su Wudi before, knowing that Su Wudi is a battle maniac who, as long as the gap isn’t too big, will keep challenging you until he wins.

“Diwei True Sovereign probably dislikes Su Wudi the most.”

Youran True Sovereign, having met Su Wudi not long ago, knew that Lu Changsheng is a lifesaver to the Su Clan, so Su Wudi’s appearance here was no surprise to him.

The Elders of Cloud Mountain Holy Land, curious about ancient gossip, asked, “Ancestor, what do you mean by that?”

Youran True Sovereign explained eloquently: “In ancient times, when Diwei True Sovereign was first challenged by Su Wudi, Su Wudi had just broken through to the Immortal Realm and was badly crushed by Diwei True Sovereign. Afterwards, Su Wudi challenged him sequentially forty-nine times. In the final match, Su Wudi defeated Diwei True Sovereign, leaving him humiliated in front of many disciples. What’s infuriating is that whenever Su Wudi encounters him, he wants a spar. Since then, Diwei True Sovereign has never been Su Wudi’s match and has avoided him. It’s similar for others. Only the Master has never been defeated.”

“Hiss…”

The people of Cloud Mountain Holy Land gained a clearer understanding of Su Wudi’s strength and temperament.

Confronted with such a battle maniac, whose strength continuously rises, everyone would feel troubled.

Su Wudi challenges any opponent of the same realm. If you lose to Su Wudi, you’ll lose face among many disciples.

Once encountered, it’s a loss of face.

Who could stand that?

Even though the Master has never lost to Su Wudi, he still can’t escape Su Wudi’s pestering.

Diwei True Sovereign once defeated Su Wudi, only to be challenged forty-nine more times, showing how troublesome Su Wudi can be. He’s a man who refuses to admit defeat.

Only those at the level of the Human Emperor and higher make Su Wudi lose interest in continuing challenges, as the gap between them is too vast. Unless Su Wudi breaks through again, it’s unlikely for him to challenge the Heavenly Emperor.

The Master clearly did not want to be tangled with by such a guy as Su Wudi, so he said calmly, “This time, it’s Lu Changsheng’s ascension ceremony. As guests, it’s better to value peace and not spar.”

Long Tianyu, Diwei True Sovereign, and other great powers nodded: “Yes, yes.”

Su Wudi smilingly patted Diwei True Sovereign on the shoulder: “Naturally, we won’t spar during the ceremony. But when it’s over, let’s spar a bit more before we leave, duel until dawn.”

Diwei True Sovereign’s body shook.

Since Su Wudi’s cultivation surpassed his, Diwei True Sovereign has never won.

This time, Diwei True Sovereign came representing Buzhou Holy Land, intending to connect with the greatest talent of the Immortal Realm, only to fall into a trap, encountering Su Wudi.

This time he’ll disgrace himself again in front of Buzhou Holy Land’s Elders and disciples.

Oddly enough, why again?

“Taisu Holy Land has arrived!”

“Taishi Holy Land has arrived!”

“Kunlun Holy Land has arrived!”

“Mount Lieshan Holy Land has arrived!”

“Ancient Qian Family has arrived!”

“Ancient Lei Family has arrived!”

“Ancient Wan Family has arrived!”

…

One by one, the Holy Lands, ancient families, sects, and dynasties sent representatives as Elders even if the Sect Leaders or Family Heads did not come in person.

After defeating Emperor Ku twice in a row, Lu Changsheng is already recognized as the greatest talent in the Immortal Realm, expected by many to become at least a great power, with the potential to be on par with Taihua Sword Maiden and Yang Qing.

Presenting gifts at this time, at least earns a bit of favor.

Sect Leader Daoxuan True Sovereign of Kunlun Holy Land, along with Chongxu Daoist and Yan Zhiqiu, arrived.

Seeing the Master’s presence, they were quite taken aback.

Kunlun Holy Land was supposed to be the head of the human race’s lower realm Holy Land, but now the spotlight was stolen by the Master.

“Wu Shen Palace, Chu Wuqing, comes to offer congratulations.”

Even more astonishing, a Divine Palace from the Heavenly Court was here to congratulate Lu Changsheng!

All of the Ten Thousand Divine Palaces of the Heavenly Court knew of Lu Changsheng’s animosity with Emperor Ku, making it unexpected for anyone to come to congratulate him. But, Wu Shen Palace’s martial fanatic Chu Wuqing disregarded this and personally came to congratulate his former rival Lu Changsheng.

Though Wu Shen Palace was represented solely by Chu Wuqing in his personal capacity, it was still enough to stir great excitement.

“Guanghan Palace Master Xia Ningxue, specially came to congratulate.”

The team from Guanghan Palace arrived, led by the matchlessly elegant Xia Ningxue.

As Lu Changsheng’s Dao partner ascended, Xia Ningxue had also prepared a congratulatory gift.
