"Truly worthy of being the Sect Leader of Mount Shu," he said. "Even his weakest direct disciple possesses the cultivation of the Dao Palace realm, and there are three direct disciples in the Void Refinement Realm. Even the Mountain Guardian Divine Dog that guards the gates is at the peak of the Dao Palace realm."
"The Sect Leader of Mount Shu's aura seems to be rising. Could it be that he's about to have a breakthrough just before setting off?"
The two elders from the Penglai Sword Sect, who were temporarily residing at Qingyun Peak, were astonished to discover that every disciple of Qingyun Peak was a monstrous talent, and that Lu Changsheng was even capable of a breakthrough just before his departure for Luzhou.
"At last, I have grasped the eleventh layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique," Lu Changsheng said.
Lu Changsheng seized the moment to impact the second layer of the Unity Realm.
Lu Changsheng's aura steadily climbed, and several days later, when he stopped circulating his cultivation technique, he had reached the second level of the Unity Realm.
Although at the same second level of the Unity Realm, Lu Changsheng's volume of true Qi was several times that of ordinary cultivators at the same level.
At Mount Shu's Ten Thousand Swords Peak, the five great Sect Leaders gathered. However, what was different this time was that the Sect Leaders of Mount Shu and Inquiry Immortal Pavilion had changed, and the person in charge had become Lu Changsheng.
The two elders from the Penglai Sword Sect were summoned by Lu Changsheng, who informed the Sect Leaders of the other sects about the changes in Luzhou.
Xia Ningxue, Yu Xuanji, Grandmaster Chen, and Master Wuxiang all felt slightly suffocated.
Behind Wind Thunder Pavilion and Summoning Demon Palace was a powerful being from the Immortal Realm, secretly guiding them. Their targeting of the Penglai Sword Sect was most likely aimed at exterminating this sect.
"If the Penglai Sword Sect were to be destroyed, given our Xia State sects' grudges against the Summoning Demon Palace, we also would hardly escape a calamity. We must take action as soon as possible. Does anyone have any objections?"
Lu Changsheng looked around at everyone, and all four Sect Leaders tacitly agreed to his decision. fгeewebnovёl.com
Leaving remnants of the Summoning Demon Palace could result in them making a comeback; it's better to uproot them entirely.
The nameless strong being from the Immortal Realm was also a hidden danger. Before they could recover their cultivation, they should be erased swiftly and decisively.
"With the assistance of the Penglai Sword Sect this time, we only need to bring a small number of elite elders. This would prevent our sects from being attacked," Lu Changsheng said.
Lu Changsheng briefly assessed the strength of the various Sect Leaders. Yu Xuanji, Grandmaster Chen, and Master Wuxiang were all at the first level of the Unity Realm, while Xia Ningxue was at the ninth layer of the Void Refinement Realm but had the combat strength of the first level of the Unity Realm.
"Lu Changsheng, could it be that you've made another breakthrough?" Grandmaster Chen suddenly noticed something off with Lu Changsheng's aura.
Although his Innate Taoist Body prevented him from discerning Lu Changsheng's exact cultivation level, he could still sense a difference in Lu Changsheng's aura.
Now, Lu Changsheng's realm was higher than everyone present; just like Situ Kong, he was at the second level of the Unity Realm, and his every move was different from before.
"I have indeed just made a breakthrough a few days ago," Lu Changsheng admitted.
Yu Xuanji and Master Wuxiang were stunned for a moment.
Lu Changsheng had made another breakthrough?
Such a speed of cultivation was simply terrifying!
Even though Lu Changsheng was junior to them, his realm was already above everyone else's.
"You're really something," Grandmaster Chen almost began to question his life.
They were all cultivating, so why was there such a vast difference between individuals?
"We should not delay; let us set off," Lu Changsheng said.
Lu Changsheng took a few disciples with him, and the other four great Sect Leaders each brought a small team of elite elders. Together with the two Penglai Sword Sect elders, they left Mount Shu.
"Let's hope that on this journey, Lu Changsheng can uncover the origins of the mysterious strong being from the Immortal Realm, and ideally, manage to kill them," Taiyuan Zhenren, who was left in charge of guarding Mount Shu, said, not as someone who shirked from trouble.
Seeing as they were enemies with the strong in Immortal Realm, it would be best to strike them down completely, annihilating both spirit and form, to prevent any future troubles.
After all, the people of the Immortal Realm couldn't descend to this world without specific methods.
Even if they risked descending, they would be suppressed by the power of the world.
Lu Changsheng, on his journey, did not forget to continue mentoring disciples, while simultaneously cultivating the mid-grade Immortal swordsmanship of the "Heaven Escape Sword Skills".
Having reached the second layer of the Unity Realm, cultivating mid-grade Immortal techniques had become much easier.
Between Xia State and Luzhou, there were hundreds of thousands of miles, with mountains and rivers in between.
Only cultivators above the Dao Palace realm could travel to and fro by Sword Flight.
Therefore, the sects of the two major states would normally coexist peacefully and not travel lightly.
"What is the cultivation level of the Wind Thunder Pavilion Master?"
During a break on the journey, Grandmaster Chen asked two elders of the Penglai Sword Sect.
"The Wind Thunder Pavilion Master has cultivated for ten thousand years; previously his realm was at the third layer of the Unity Realm. But recently, his cultivation has surged rapidly, and he may well have stepped into the fourth layer of the Unity Realm."
"The fourth layer of the Unity Realm..."
Yu Xuanji, Grandmaster Chen, and Master Wuxiang all wore solemn expressions on their faces.
During the Mount Shu catastrophe, the Demon Lord burned Phoenix Blood to temporarily raise his cultivation to the fourth layer of the Unity Realm; now, the Wind Thunder Pavilion Master seemed to have reached the same realm as the Demon Lord.
No wonder Penglai Sword Sect was in such urgent distress.
Like Mount Shu, Penglai Sword Sect was not at its peak period.
Luckily, this time Lu Changsheng was leading the team, and he had broken through to the Unity Realm; his combat strength had made a qualitative leap compared to when he had fought the Demon Lord.
Initially, it was only by joining forces with Xia Ningxue that Lu Changsheng managed to kill the Demon Lord.
Now, armed with the Demon-Suppressing Sword and Demon Emperor Cauldron, should Lu Changsheng encounter the Demon Lord again, he would be more than capable of killing him single-handedly.
The group followed two Penglai Sword Sect elders into the territory of Luzhou and arrived above a previously unseen, vast Immortal island surrounded by a black Nether Sea.
Above the island, mountains stood firm, thousands of palaces loomed, clouds curled around them, and from time to time, flocks of Immortal Cranes could be seen flying above the sea of clouds.
"The Ninth Heaven True Sovereign who founded the Penglai Sword Sect was a great figure who ascended to the Immortal Realm. The sect has been established for over three hundred thousand years and is not simple. This is the first time this old monk has laid eyes upon the Nine Heavens True Sovereign Palace."
Master Wuxiang looked towards the most magnificent palace on the island, which was likely the main hall of the Penglai Sword Sect.
The foundation of Penglai Sword Sect was no lesser than that of the six major sects of Xia State back in the day, and it was second only to Mount Shu.
"There are three powerful presences. It seems the Penglai Sword Sect has three Unity Realm experts. Truly, the Penglai Sword Sect is not weak."
Lu Changsheng used his Soul Searching Skills to probe the foundation of Penglai Sword Sect and discovered they had at least three Unity Realm experts.
The Penglai Sword Sect, with such strength, was still suppressed by the Wind Thunder Pavilion; this suggested that the Wind Thunder Pavilion was even stronger.
These Penglai Sword Sect experts, having sensed that they were being scanned, were slightly surprised, their presences also sweeping towards the incoming Xia State powerhouses.
There were four Unity Realm and more than twenty Void Refinement Realm experts on Lu Changsheng's side, overall stronger than the Penglai Sword Sect.
The two Penglai Sword Sect elders led the group directly to the square in front of the Nine Heavens True Sovereign Palace.
A group of Penglai Sword Sect elders and disciples gathered around: "Elder Fang, Elder Liu, you have finally returned."
"We two went to Mount Shu to seek reinforcements; where is the Sect Leader?"
"The Sect Leader is cultivating in the Nine Heavens True Sovereign Palace. Please, follow me."
The guiding Penglai Sword Sect elder led everyone into the Nine Heavens True Sovereign Palace.
