Chapter 458 Chapter 360: Breakthrough, Daluo Golden Immortal! (4K)
The aggressive Han Family Ancestor found himself in an awkward situation.
The Tai Hua Holy Maiden intended to protect Lu Changsheng, which made it difficult for him to take action.
The Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of the Holy Lands could potentially become the masters of their Holy Lands in the future, holding revered positions. Even the Han Family Ancestor didn't dare to offend the Tai Hua Holy Maiden.
The Han Family Ancestor also began to rack his brains.
Who exactly was Lu Changsheng?Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Why did the Tai Hua Holy Maiden insist on protecting him?
Could it be that he belonged to a Holy Land?
If he weren't from a Holy Land, how could he have possibly defeated Han Jie?
Thinking of this, the Han Family Ancestor also found the situation to be tricky.
At the very least, they could not openly kill Lu Changsheng; otherwise, they would offend the Holy Land behind him, and even the Ancient Han Family would be inviting trouble.
"Let's go."
Although the Han Family Ancestor was reluctant, he had to refrain from rash action like poking a rat to avoid breaking the jar, so he left in annoyance without even demanding the return of the Holy Artifact.
"Ancestor..."
Han Jie was stunned. Why did even the Ancestor not dare to touch this Lu Changsheng?
"He might be from a Holy Land, don't act against him openly. We'll find another opportunity later."
The Han Family Ancestor, with his broad knowledge and experiences, knew that some matters shouldn't be dealt with openly, lest they bring about the extinction of the Ancient Han Family.
"Damn."
Han Jie couldn't help but feel frustrated.
It was bad enough that Lu Changsheng surpassed him in talent, cultivation level, and the number of magical treasures. To make matters worse, even the backing he had was stronger than his, leaving almost no weaknesses.
"Thank you, Holy Maiden, for stepping in to rescue me. The favor you owed me can now be considered repaid."
Lu Changsheng had requested the help of the Tai Hua Holy Maiden to get him out of a tight spot and fend off the Han Family Ancestor, which meant she had repaid the favor she owed.
Inviting the Tai Hua Holy Maiden to intervene using fifteenth or sixteenth-grade forging materials was a truly cost-effective move for Lu Changsheng.
The cultivation level of the Tai Hua Holy Maiden was unfathomably deep, and her status was lofty. Having her mediate was not a simple task.
Many sought an audience with the Tai Hua Holy Maiden without finding a way.
"I helped you this time, not to repay a favor but simply because I wanted to. From now on, we can be considered half friends," said the Tai Hua Holy Maiden.
Her attitude took Lu Changsheng by surprise.
The Tai Hua Holy Maiden unexpectedly left Lu Changsheng's favor unreturned.
As long as the favor remained unrepaid, the Tai Hua Holy Maiden always had a reason to approach Lu Changsheng and then curry favor with the power behind him.
The idea of the Tai Hua Holy Maiden was not bad, only she was unaware that there actually was no significant power backing Lu Changsheng...
Afterward, the Tai Hua Holy Maiden left Zhengsheng Mountain.
Sect Leader Qingyangzi also returned to the Great Luo Palace to cultivate.
"Daoist Changsheng, I look forward to your guidance in the future."
"Feel free to visit us at Azure Dragon Peak when you have the time."
All the other Peak Masters were now trying to ingratiate themselves with Lu Changsheng.
Unrivaled in the realm of Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortals, with the Enlightenment Tea in hand, Lu Changsheng's ascension to a true Daluo Golden Immortal was just around the corner.
Furthermore, with the Tai Hua Holy Maiden recognizing Lu Changsheng as a half-friend, his status was elevated above the Peak Masters due to his association with the Tai Hua Holy Land.
"Excellent, excellent. You've actually managed to gain favor with the Tai Hua Holy Land. Once you become a Daluo Golden Immortal, you will have the opportunity to leverage your relationship with the Holy Maiden to join the Tai Hua Holy Land. There are numerous benefits to joining the Holy Land. However, the Holy Land traditionally cultivates supreme talents from a young age. It's difficult for outsiders to join, and, at best, they become external disciples or external elders. Most people don't qualify to cultivate within the Holy Land. You must seize this chance and cultivate a good relationship with the Holy Maiden," Daoist Yuxuan said meaningfully as he patted Lu Changsheng's shoulder.
A woman three years older is like a precious gold brick.
If she is three thousand years older, she has a place among the immortals.
The prominent Tai Hua Holy Land is not easily befriended. With the Holy Maiden reaching out to him on her own initiative, Lu Changsheng might have an opportunity to join the Holy Land in the future.
The Tai Hua Holy Land, feared even by the Ancient Cultivator Family, is significantly more powerful than Zhengsheng Sect, just one of the Immortal Sects.
Even Daluo Golden Immortals from outside may not have the qualifications to join the Tai Hua Holy Land.
The Tai Hua Holy Land usually focuses on cultivating their own disciples; Loose Cultivators wanting to join are not trusted by the Holy Land.
This is because among the Loose Cultivators, there might be undercover agents from the Demon Sects and other Holy Lands, risking the leak of the Holy Land's Cultivation Techniques.
"Tai Hua Holy Land..."
Lu Changsheng had not actually considered joining any Holy Land.
He chose to join Zhengsheng Sect only to evade the pursuit of the seven Great Demons.
After everyone had left, Zhengsheng Mountain returned to its peaceful state.
After providing Power-infusing Initiation to each of his four disciples, Lu Changsheng began to seclude himself to prepare for the breakthrough to the Golden Immortal Realm.
Lu Changsheng used the sixteenth-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasure Enlightenment Tea Leaves to accelerate his comprehension.
The tea leaves transformed into tea, melted instantly upon entering his mouth, Lu Changsheng's pores opened, and he entered a clear State of Sudden Enlightenment.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng's understanding of the Dao soared. The previously incomprehensible aspects of the "Boundless Pure Dao" and the "Divine King Sword Scripture Fragment" suddenly became crystal clear, as if he had attained a great revelation.
Lu Changsheng's cultivation level was rapidly increasing.
"Soon, I, this junior, will become a true Daluo Golden Immortal. I estimate that in just twenty or thirty thousand years, he can match what I've achieved in three hundred thousand years. It's truly incredible," Daoist Yuxuan, sensing Lu Changsheng's rapidly ascending energy, knew he must have used the wondrous Enlightenment Tea Leaves, and with Lu Changsheng's prior accumulation and profound comprehension of the Dao, he was close to completing the last step.
Being at the threshold of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm is merely a transitional stage, with different talents and fortunes dictating the speed of becoming a true Daluo Golden Immortal.
Some unparalleled geniuses only stay in the Half-Step Great Luo stage for a few thousand years, or maybe ten thousand years, while those of lesser talent may spend tens of thousands of years at this stage or even fail to advance at all.
