Chapter 438 - 180: The First Divine Treasure Through the Ages! The Immortal Path and Martial Arts Dominate a Generation! _2

"You cannot possibly be an unknown figure! Speak—who are you?"

At this moment, an Immortal Master spoke.

The person was dressed in flowing white robes, exuding a faintly transcendent aura.

"It’s Immortal Master Luo He."

"A Qi Refining Immortal Master of the Purple Sun Immortal Sect, ranked thirteenth on the Foundation Establishment Candidate List! An elite Qi Refining Immortal Master."

"This martial artist is too powerful and cannot be underestimated. Only an elite Immortal Master like Luo He can challenge him."

"But who exactly is this martial artist? I usually don’t pay much attention to martial artists. He must be a formidable candidate on the Dao Foundation Candidate List, but what rank could he possibly hold?"

"Even so, could the top-tier Divine Treasure martial artists on the Dao Foundation Candidate List possess such horrifying power? One move, slaying dozens of Qi Refining Immortal Masters—is that even possible?"

Many Immortal Masters turned their gazes toward Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on Immortal Master Luo He. His expression remained unchanged as he spoke indifferently, "Ancient Domain Heavenly Sect, Lu Changsheng!"

"Boom."

The moment that name was uttered, it caused an uproar.

"What? It’s Lu Changsheng of the Ancient Domain Heavenly Sect?"

"The prodigy who, at the Divine Astral Realm, could reverse Divine Treasure-level opponents? Isn’t he in the Divine Astral Realm?"

"Your information is outdated. Lu Changsheng is no longer at the Divine Astral Realm—he advanced to Divine Treasure a few months ago. But what’s even more terrifying is his ranking on the Dao Foundation Candidate List. He didn’t just make the list; he debuted at first place, suppressing all other Divine Treasures!"

"Lu Changsheng ranked first on the Dao Foundation Candidate List? Are you kidding me? He just recently advanced to Divine Treasure, and he’s already qualified to hold the top rank? And he’s first?"

"There’s no mistake. The Dao Foundation Candidate List and the Foundation Establishment Candidate List were announced together. I made sure to carefully go over the rankings. Lu Changsheng is indeed listed as first on the Dao Foundation Candidate List, firmly suppressing the previous first-place holder, Xia Feilong."

"But even if Lu Changsheng is first on the Dao Foundation Candidate List, so what? There’s never been an equivalence between the Dao Foundation Candidate List and the Foundation Establishment Candidate List. Anyone in the top ten of the Foundation Establishment Candidate List could crush the Dao Foundation Candidate List’s first rank. We have more than just Immortal Master Luo He; there are even stronger Immortal Masters here."

"Lu Changsheng shouldn’t have come to Juling Mountain, and to even go so far as to slay dozens of Immortal Masters—this is outright provocation against us!"

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng announce his name.

For a moment, the Immortal Masters were stirred into a frenzy.

What of being first on the Dao Foundation Candidate List?

The pride cultivated over years among the Immortal Masters meant they weren’t particularly intimidated by a mere ranking.

Even Immortal Master Luo He furrowed his brows slightly. Unlike the other Immortal Masters, he harbored genuine apprehension toward Lu Changsheng.

The power Lu Changsheng had displayed earlier was undeniably terrifying—so much so that he wasn’t confident of ultimately prevailing.

But his lack of confidence didn’t mean he was willing to back down.

With hundreds of Immortal Masters present, how could they possibly fear one Divine Treasure?

"Lu Changsheng, what is a mere martial artist like you doing here at Juling Mountain?"

Luo He asked in a deep voice.

"The Spirit Communication Flower, naturally!"

"The Spirit Communication Flower is not only a crucial ingredient for crafting Foundation Establishment Pills, but also a rare treasure for expanding the mind."

"Thus, I give you two choices: either leave or be completely annihilated by me!"

"Regardless of the option you choose, Lu Changsheng will claim all the Spirit Communication Flowers!"

With those words, the valley of Immortal Masters erupted into chaos.

"What? Lu Changsheng came here for the Spirit Communication Flower and plans to take all of them?"

"Arrogant! Absolutely ludicrous! He’s merely a Divine Treasure; how dare he?"

"This is Juling Mountain, not the Ancient Domain Heavenly Sect!"

"Since when does a Divine Treasure martial artist have the audacity to threaten hundreds of Immortal Masters?"

Every Immortal Master stood dumbfounded.

In their surprise, they were even more incensed!

Ordinary Immortal Masters facing a Divine Treasure are typically perched high above, holding absolute dominance.

Yet, before their eyes, a Divine Treasure was brazenly threatening them in front of hundreds of Immortal Masters. How audacious could this be?

Even Zhang Kong was rendered speechless.

He couldn’t bring himself to believe that Lu Changsheng actually said such words.

When Zhang Kong sought out Lu Changsheng, he merely intended to compete for some Spirit Communication Flowers.

There were plenty of Spirit Communication Flowers here; acquiring only a handful would suffice.

But Lu Changsheng resolutely issued a threat.

This was a threat against hundreds of Immortal Masters.

Did Lu Changsheng truly believe he could suppress hundreds of Immortal Masters?

Then he must be crazy.

Even a Dao Foundation cultivator wouldn’t dare assert they could easily overpower hundreds of Immortal Masters!

Yet Lu Changsheng dared. Why?

Was he here to claim the Spirit Communication Flowers, or to challenge hundreds of Immortal Masters in an all-out brawl?

Zhang Kong couldn’t fathom why Lu Changsheng was being so irrational and blindingly arrogant.

These weren’t hundreds of Divine Treasures—they were Qi Refining Immortal Masters!

Even though Zhang Kong was one of the top-tier True Disciples of the Ancient Domain Heavenly Sect, and harbored a sliver of hope for forging a Dao Foundation...

He still felt no shred of arrogance when facing Qi Refining Immortal Masters.

"Do you truly intend to compete for the Spirit Communication Flowers at Juling Mountain?"

Luo He spoke coldly.

"Indeed, the Spirit Communication Flowers are mine. Anyone who dares touch them will die!"

"That’s all I have to say."

Lu Changsheng ceased speaking.

Then, he began to step forward.

With the first step, the Five Elements Domain materialized around him.

With the second step, the Four-in-One Domain emerged around him.

With the third step, the Three-in-One Domain abruptly surfaced.

The overwhelming pressure from the fusion of these domains sent a tremor through Immortal Master Luo He’s heart.

It felt as if he was directly facing a top ten cultivator on the Foundation Establishment Candidate List—or perhaps even one of the top three—all of whom exuded a suffocating level of authority.
