He never expected such a scene to unfold.
He didnât need to battle those Immortal Masters.
Now, he could openly walk up and pick the Spirit Communication Flowers.
"Lu Changsheng, do you know what youâre doing?"
"The Spirit Communication Flowers are a key ingredient for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Youâre fighting over them on Juling Mountain and leaving none behindâthatâs an affront to the Immortal Masters and a challenge to the immortal path!"
"Iâve already sent word to Senior Sister Ling Miao of the Purple Sun Immortal Sect. Sheâs ranked third on the Foundation Establishment Candidate List. Once she arrives, you will undoubtedly die!"
The Immortal Master Luo He shouted with difficulty.
The Foundation Establishment Pill was extremely important to him.
He needed it to attempt Foundation Establishment.
Though the Purple Sun Immortal Sect provided its disciples with one Foundation Establishment Pill, it was only just one.
Luo He not only received a pill from the sect but also spent all his Contribution Points to exchange for another.
A total of two pillsâbut he still failed at Foundation Establishment.
Now, he had come for the Spirit Communication Flowers.
If he succeeded, with dozens of flowers, he might exchange them for another pill.
At that time, he would have renewed hope for Foundation Establishment.
This could be his only chance to successfully establish his foundationâhow could he give up the Spirit Communication Flowers?
He wouldnât hesitate to notify Ling Miao Immortal Master, even if it meant reducing his harvest, as long as he could claim the flowers.
"Hmm?"
Lu Changshengâs gaze grew cold.
"Noisy."
Lu Changsheng wasnât afraid of killing.
He simply didnât bother with it.
But since Luo He himself had chosen to step forward, he could only blame himself.
"Boom."
All of Lu Changshengâs Domains descended.
Eighteen Fusion Domains, comparable to the terrifying power of 250 layers, came crashing down.
"Bang."
The Protective Magical Artifact on Luo Heâs body was instantly crushed.
As for Luo He Immortal Master, in the very instant the artifact shattered, his body dissolved into dust as well.
Not even a single scream escaped his lips before he perished.
Dead!
Immortal Master Luo He was dead!
A top-tier Immortal Master of the Purple Sun Immortal Sect, ranked thirteenth on the Foundation Establishment Candidate List, a genius with immense potential to achieve Foundation Establishmentâjust like that, he died at Lu Changshengâs hands.
The entire valley fell silent in an instant.
"This is trouble! Immortal Master Luo He is dead; the Purple Sun Immortal Sect will surely erupt in fury."
"The Purple Sun Immortal Sect is a major immortal sect, far stronger than the entire Heavenly Sect of the Ancient Domain."
"The Heavenly Sect of the Ancient Domain is considered a martial arts powerhouse, but the Purple Sun Immortal Sect would never directly act against Lu Changsheng. However, donât forget, the Purple Sun Immortal Sect has Ling Miao Immortal Master, ranked third on the Foundation Establishment Candidate List!"
"Indeed, Ling Miao Immortal Master is likely already on her way to Juling Mountain. Now that Luo He Immortal Master is dead, Lu Changsheng is doomedâJuling Mountain will be his grave!"
"If Luo He Immortal Master had been spared, there couldâve been room for negotiation. But now that heâs dead, Lu Changsheng is finished too..."
Many Immortal Masters, witnessing Luo Heâs demise, felt a tremor in their hearts.
They never expected Lu Changsheng to truly dare kill Luo He Immortal Master.
Earlier, Lu Changsheng had slain dozens of Immortal Masters with a single strike.
But so what?
Those Immortal Masters mostly hailed from small sects, cultivation families, or were loose cultivatorsânot a single one belonged to a major immortal sect.
For a major immortal sect, recruiting disciples is exceedingly rigorous.
If one canât even achieve Foundation Establishment, whatâs the point of cultivating immortality or joining a sect?
The major immortal sects prioritize quality over quantity!
However, for every disciple they do recruit, the major immortal sects fiercely protect them.
Luo He Immortal Masterâs death was bound to spark a crisis.
But Lu Changsheng did not care.
Whether it was Luo He or anyone else.
Since heâd already made the decision to come to Juling Mountain, why would he concern himself with their backgrounds or affiliations?
So long as Foundation Establishment-level cultivators did not intervene, it didnât matter.
And Foundation Establishment-level cultivators wouldnât intervene.
The Ancient Domain continued to be a coexistence of the immortal path and martial arts.
While the immortal path might hold more power.
Its superiority was limited, and nowhere near making it universally dominant.
The great immortal sects and martial arts sects had a tacit understanding.
They wouldnât break the rules agreed upon by both sides.
Disputes between Immortal Masters and Divine Treasure holdersâFoundation Establishment cultivators wouldnât take action, and Dao Foundation cultivators wouldnât interfere.
It was left entirely to their own devices.
Meanwhile, Zhang Kong was picking Spirit Communication Flowers.
One flower, two flowers, three flowers...
His heart bloomed with joy.
No one was bothering him.
He freely picked flower after flower.
The entire valley seemed to plunge into a dead silence.
No one dared defy Lu Changsheng anymore.
After all, Lu Changsheng had just killed Immortal Master Luo Heâwhat could they possibly do?
"A bunch of useless cowards!"
"Letting a mere Divine Treasure martial artist flaunt their arrogance on Juling Mountainâhundreds of Qi Refining Immortal Masters yield without resistanceâis this not a disgrace to the immortal path?"
At that moment, a cold, feminine voice echoed within the valley.
Immediately, a flash of white light flitted across the void.
A graceful, white-robed woman with frost-like features arrived aboard a Flying Boat.
"Who killed Junior Brother Luo He?"
The womanâs voice was like thousands of years of glacial frost, infused with biting coldness.
"Swoosh."
All the Immortal Mastersâ gazes instantly converged on Lu Changsheng.
"It was I who slew Luo He. You must be Ling Miao Immortal Master of the Purple Sun Immortal Sect?"
Lu Changsheng spoke calmly, his expression unmoved.
Ling Miao Immortal Master, ranked third on the Foundation Establishment Candidate List!
She was a true pride of the heavens!
In the future, she would not only achieve Foundation Establishment but also had immense potential to become a Golden Core True Master, living a thousand years!
"I know youâLu Changsheng of the Ancient Domainâs Heavenly Sect. You once reversed Divine Treasure and slew Lei Tiandu, the top True Inheritance of the Yellow Heaven Sect."
"But this is Juling Mountain, not the Ancient Domainâs Heavenly Sect!"
