Chapter 84: Returning to the Tiansheng Continent
Inside the Myriad Dao Academy, a Space Passage quietly appeared, and Lu Xunxian and the other three walked out from within.
Although they had only been gone for seven days, returning once more felt as though an entire lifetime had passed.
“Master, then I will go back first?”
Luo Qianxue spoke tentatively. During these few days in the Immortal Realm, she had gained a great deal. She needed to enter Seclusion for a period of time, and perhaps by the time she emerged, she would be able to break through to the Saint Emperor Realm.
Naturally, Lu Xunxian did not stop her. He waved his hand, signaling for Luo Qianxue to leave.
After Luo Qianxue left, Lu Xunxian looked at Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun. After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke.
“Would you two like to go to the Primordial Sacred Land and the Ancient Wood Sacred Land to study for a while?”
The Ancient Wood Sacred Land and the Primordial Sacred Land had specialized methods for training the two of them in their Saint Bodies. In addition, they had already learned enough within the Myriad Dao Academy. If they still did not go to the two great Sacred Lands, Ye Wushuang and Gu Feng might begin to complain.
Hearing this, Lu Qingyun thought of something and asked worriedly, “Father, if we go to the two great Sacred Lands, does that mean we will have to separate?”
“It is all right, Sister. I can stay in the Primordial Sacred Land by myself. You can have Father go with you to the Ancient Wood Sacred Land.”
Lu Xiaoyao patted his chest, displaying the bearing of an elder brother.
However, Lu Xunxian waved his hand and said calmly, “There is no need for anything so troublesome. I will simply create a stable Space Passage inside the Primordial Sacred Land and the Ancient Wood Sacred Land.”
Thanks to his own strength, as well as Feng Qingyu’s extremely broad knowledge, Lu Xunxian’s attainments in formations and the Dao of Space had also reached a terrifying level.
Forget creating a stable Space Passage between the Primordial Sacred Land and the Ancient Wood Sacred Land—even creating a stable Space Passage between the Tiansheng Continent and the Immortal Realm would not be difficult for Lu Xunxian.
Only then did Lu Qingyun’s tightly furrowed brows relax. She hugged Lu Xunxian and acted spoiled.
“I knew Father was the most amazing.”
“Then you two should be planning to go to the two great Sacred Lands. Father will give you one day to take care of your matters.”
Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun had made quite a few friends within the Myriad Dao Academy, so Lu Xunxian did not intend to let them leave with any regrets.
Hearing this, the two little ones nodded heavily, then turned and rushed out of the residence.
As for Lu Xunxian, he looked into the residence.
Fu Qitian, who had originally been cultivating, learned that they would be going to the Primordial Sacred Land in three days and hurriedly withdrew from cultivation.
For a Saint Emperor like him, it was extremely easy to become immersed in cultivation and forget the time. It would not be good if that affected his master.
After resolving the matters of the Fu Family and the Li Family, Fu Qitian had severed his Heart Demon, and his realm had made extremely considerable progress. Within ten years, he would definitely break through to the Mid Saint Emperor Realm.
Inside the Primordial Sacred Land, Ye Wushuang had originally been cultivating. However, after learning that Lu Xunxian was about to bring Lu Xiaoyao over to reside in the Primordial Sacred Land for a long period, he instantly became spirited.
Very soon, all the elders of the Primordial Sacred Land gathered inside the Sacred Hall. They looked at one another, none of them knowing what had happened.
They had only heard the Holy Lord say that there was a matter of utmost urgency, so they had all rushed to the Sacred Hall to gather.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the Grand Elder of the Primordial Sacred Land stood up, cupped his hands toward Ye Wushuang, and spoke in a respectful tone.
“Holy Lord, may I ask if something important has happened?”
Ye Wushuang let out a long breath and calmed his extremely excited mood. Only then did he look at everyone and speak solemnly.
“Do you all still remember the matter of our Primordial Sacred Land’s Holy Son?”
As Ye Wushuang spoke, everyone finally remembered that their Primordial Sacred Land had indeed accepted a Holy Son ten years ago. It was just that the Holy Lord had said that His Highness the Holy Son was not in the Primordial Sacred Land, and Ye Wushuang had not mentioned this matter for a long time afterward, so they had all forgotten about it.
Now that Ye Wushuang had brought it up again, they seemed to think of something, and their breathing could not help growing rapid.
The Grand Elder, Cheng Long, swallowed and asked in disbelief, “Holy Lord, could it be...?”
“That is right. Senior Lu told me that three days from now, he will bring His Highness the Holy Son to the Primordial Sacred Land, and he will settle here.”
After hearing the news they wanted to hear from Ye Wushuang, the elders present instantly erupted into excitement.
Although they did not know what realm the Holy Son was currently at, he was still the Primordial Saint Body, and he also possessed an Immortal-Grade Spiritual Root. At the very least, he should be at the King Realm now. With the guidance of their Primordial Sacred Land, it was not impossible for him to break through to the Emperor Realm before the Tiansheng Grand Tournament eight years later.
A twenty-year-old Emperor Realm cultivator would be extremely rare even across the entire Tiansheng Continent.
If he could ascend to the Immortal Realm and be accepted as the Holy Son by the Main Sect in the Immortal Realm, that would be even more extraordinary.
“The reason I summoned all of you here is to inform you of this matter. Within these three days, you must make sure His Highness the Holy Son’s residence is properly arranged. In addition, His Highness the Holy Son may be allowed to participate in our Primordial Sacred Land’s disciple competition two years from now.”
Ordinary sects usually held events like disciple competitions to encourage their disciples to cultivate harder, let alone the Primordial Sacred Land.
The disciple competition within the Primordial Sacred Land had only one requirement for participation: one had to be under one hundred years old. His Highness the Holy Son just happened to qualify.
Although two years later, even with the support of the Primordial Sacred Land, His Highness the Holy Son would probably only be able to break through to the Peak King Realm, across the vast Primordial Sacred Land, there were likely very few disciples under one hundred years old who could compare to the Holy Son.
“Understood, Holy Lord!”
The expressions of the elders present varied, but they were basically all dominated by excitement.
According to reliable information, among the various Sacred Lands of the Tiansheng Continent, only the Holy Son and Holy Maiden of their Primordial Sacred Land and Ancient Wood Sacred Land were absent. The other Sacred Lands all had their own Holy Sons and Holy Maidens, and their talents were powerful. They estimated that this Tiansheng Grand Tournament would probably be extremely intense.
Therefore, they did not insist that His Highness the Holy Son win first place in this Tiansheng Grand Tournament. It would already be extremely good if he could enter the top one hundred.
The Tiansheng Grand Tournament had only five hundred slots. Their Ten Great Sacred Lands had one hundred slots, forces with Saint Emperors presiding over them had one hundred slots, and the other forces had two hundred slots. As for the remaining one hundred slots, they were reserved for itinerant cultivators.
Although most geniuses would be recruited by the major forces in advance, there were always some exceptions. For various reasons, some geniuses failed to enter the major forces, but they would still erupt with astonishing talent.
In previous Tiansheng Grand Tournaments, there had also been cases where itinerant cultivators won first place.
Then, as he thought of something, Cheng Long’s expression could not help changing. He swallowed and asked somewhat nervously, “Then, Holy Lord, will that man be coming with His Highness the Holy Son?”
As Cheng Long’s words fell, the faces of the elders present suddenly turned deathly pale.
They recalled the fear of being dominated by Lu Xunxian back then.
