But what use can they be to these Earth Saints?
Thereās really no benefit.
Furthermore, Divine Sword Manor must face some threats.
Thus, some Earth Saint elders do not wish for Xiahou Puyu to exchange martial arts fragments for a spiritual treasure.
Upon hearing this, Xiahou Puyuās heart trembled slightly.
Indeed, how precious are spiritual treasures?
If Divine Sword Manor acquires a spiritual treasure, and the news leaks out.
Can Divine Sword Manor keep the treasure?
This is a realistic issue that Divine Sword Manor cannot ignore.
Xiahou Puyu was still hesitating.
A spiritual treasure, exchanged for six martial arts fragments.
If exchanged, Divine Sword Manor would possess a treasure to suppress Qi fortune, and the disciplesā cultivation would be more effective.
However, once leaked, Divine Sword Manor would face some risk.
"Divine Sword Manor wants the spiritual treasure!"
"Please, Brother Lu, make it happen!"
Finally, Xiahou Puyu made the decision.
Spiritual treasure!
He chose the spiritual treasure!
His tone was decisive and resolute.
Clearly, he had made up his mind, weighing everything clearly.
"Alright."
Lu Changsheng smiled faintly and directly put away the martial arts fragments.
He then handed the Seven-Colored Flowing Light Treasure Tower to Xiahou Puyu.
Xiahou Puyu took the treasure tower, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.
The spiritual treasure was in hand!
This was a momentous affair for Divine Sword Manor, far more precious than the six martial arts fragments.
Xiahou Puyu understood well.
As for the Earth Saints currently in Divine Sword Manor.
With even sixty martial arts fragments, who could achieve the Innate Saint?
If no one can achieve Innate Saint, acquiring a spiritual treasure is naturally the best choice.
In the grand hall, the other Earth Saints of Divine Sword Manor saw the Manor Master choose the spiritual treasure and showed a trace of disappointment.
No matter what, Divine Sword Manor is ultimately ruled by the Manor Master.
Even if they were unhappy, they wouldnāt openly question it.
"Well, since Manor Master Xiahou has chosen the spiritual treasure, Brother Lu will take his leave."
With that, Lu Changsheng stood up and left Divine Sword Manor.
This time, Lu Changsheng acquired almost all the martial arts fragments, whereas Divine Sword Manor gained a spiritual treasure, a joyous, win-win outcome.
After Lu Changsheng departed, one of the Earth Saints in Divine Sword Manor slowly spoke: "The Manor Master exchanged six martial arts fragments for a spiritual treasure; does the Manor Master know how many spiritual treasures Lu Changsheng possesses?"
"How many more?"
Xiahou Puyu asked.
"Lu Changsheng has scoured almost all spiritual treasures in Primordial Realm; he has at least a dozen of them."
"A dozen spiritual treasures..."
Everyone was silent.
Yet secretly, they were greatly shocked.
One person possessing a dozen spiritual treasures is unheard of.
Moreover, he is only an Earth Saint.
Those Earth Saints who hadnāt been to Primordial Realm couldnāt help but ask, "Are the spiritual treasures in Primordial Realm really that easily obtained? Why didnāt you acquire them there instead of letting Lu Changsheng have them?"
"Let?"
Another Earth Saint sneered: "Lu Changsheng created Martial Arts Methods comparable to Earth Saints and cultivated them to that extent, equivalent to mastering two Earth Saint techniques, all successfully refined and even seamlessly fused."
"Therefore, Lu Changshengās strength is more terrifying than Invincible Earth Saint."
"Where do you think Lu Changshengās spiritual treasures come from? He crushed his way, obliterated immortal sects, and forcibly seized them."
"If we were to face those Immortal Dao Sacred Lands, we couldnāt even break their gates, let alone find ourselves countered by treasures. What would we use to seize spiritual treasures?"
On hearing this, the other Earth Saint elders were stunned.
They truly didnāt know thereās such a terrifying Earth Saint within the Holy Domain.
The so-called Invincible Earth Saint, they had only heard about in rumors, never seen firsthand.
Holy Star City has no Invincible Earth Saint.
But Lu Changsheng seems even more terrifying than Invincible Earth Saint.
"Alright, donāt think too much about this."
"Itās fortunate enough that Divine Sword Manor could acquire a spiritual treasure, as for Lu Changshengās matter, donāt leak a bit."
"Once Lu Changshengās treasures are exposed, Divine Sword Manor would also suffer."
"For Lu Changsheng, only cordial relations will work. Donāt forget, Lu Changsheng is likely destined for Innate Saint!"
Xiahou Puyu spoke solemnly.
He made his decision.
Offending Lu Changsheng is unimaginable, nor other Transcendent, Innate Saints.
Therefore, Divine Sword Manor must remain tight-lipped.
Even if the secret of the spiritual treasure leaks, it must never come from within Divine Sword Manor.
...
Lu Changsheng returned to Baihua Sect.
Zhang Ling came out to greet him, a trace of delight on her face.
"Elder Lu, youāve finally returned."
Lu Changsheng asked, "Has anything significant happened in Baihua Sect?"
"Not much. Your reputation keeps Baihua Sect peaceful at the moment."
"Good, then I need to seclude myself for cultivation temporarily, no one must disturb."
"Yes, Elder."
Seeing Lu Changshengās demeanor, Zhang Ling knew he must have achieved substantial gains this time.
Otherwise, he wouldnāt be so eager to enter secluded cultivation upon returning.
But this is a good thing.
The stronger Lu Changsheng is, the more stable Baihua Sect becomes.
Lu Changsheng didnāt even have time to inquire about Demon Ancestorās progress in Cultivating Immortality.
He couldnāt concern himself with these.
Lu Changsheng went directly to the secret chamber.
He directly called up the attribute panel.
Host: Lu Changsheng
Comprehension: 2644000 (Innate Saint)
Infinite Martial Dao: 15% (Not cohesive)
Lu Changsheng spent a total of 25 months in the secret realm this time.
But with his clone in Immortal Martial Realm, his comprehension continuously increased.
An increase of ten thousand aptitude points per month, which is two hundred and fifty thousand aptitude points.
Comprehension improved significantly.
But the Infinite Martial Dao did not increase.
This is normal.
To enhance Infinite Martial Dao, martial arts fragments are essential.
Furthermore, these fragments can drastically increase comprehension in one go.
Lu Changsheng remembered clearly, in the first secret realm he entered, acquiring martial arts fragments raised his comprehension by 100,000 and Infinite Martial Dao by 5%.
In the second secret realm, comprehension increased by 1,000,000, and Infinite Martial Dao by 10%.
And this time itās the third secret realm.
This time, Lu Changsheng got complete martial arts fragments.
And at the Earth Saint level.
He wondered how much comprehension could increase this time and how much Infinite Martial Dao could be enhanced?
Lu Changsheng had a faint feeling.
This timeās improvement would be enormous.
At the moment, carrying many spiritual treasures makes his situation quite precarious.
One misstep, he would face danger.
Although he has many blood and flesh avatars, even Innate Saints cannot completely kill him.
But given the choice, who wants to die?
Hence, if he can use the martial arts fragments this time to massively boost power, he wonāt fear those envious of him.
Of course, provided he truly can dramatically increase power.
Though Lu Changsheng is mighty now, he believes itās still insufficient to handle his current dangers.
He needs to continue enhancing strength.
Even then, the strength needs a transformative break.
Even if not achieving Innate Saint, he should find ways to counter Innate Saints.
Otherwise, he would be very vulnerable.
"Then letās begin."
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and picked up a martial arts fragment.
These martial arts fragments, there are twenty in total.
Enough for Lu Changsheng to refine for a long time.
"Boom."
In that instant, he felt a slight shock within, starting to refine the first martial arts fragment.
However, as soon as it began, Lu Changsheng immediately sensed something different.
