Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Six Immortal Swords, Nine-Rank Immortal Pill! (Fifth Update)

“The Sect Leader of Mount Shu has started his Tribulation to break through to the Unity Realm,”

Xia Ningxue, who was practicing the Holy Spirit Sword Art with Lu Changsheng at Qingyun Peak, noticed the commotion outside Mount Shu.

In order not to alarm Mount Shu’s Mountain Protection Array, Taiyuan Zhenren chose to undergo his Tribulation outside of Mount Shu, but the disturbance caused by the sixfold Heavenly Tribulation could be sensed from thousands of miles away.

“The Unity Realm…”

Lu Changsheng learned from Taiyuan Zhenren that above the Void Refinement Realm is the Unity Realm.

At the Great Perfection of the Unity Realm, one can choose to undergo Tribulation and ascend to the Immortal Realm.

When Lu Changsheng broke through to the Void Refinement Realm at the Dao Palace stage, he experienced a Threefold Heavenly Tribulation and nearly lost his life.

The difficulty of the sixfold Heavenly Tribulation between the Void Refinement Realm and the Unity Realm would exponentially increase.

Lu Changsheng also did not dare to say he could definitely survive the sixfold Heavenly Tribulation, especially since an Innate Taoist Body invites a terrifyingly formidable Tribulation.

The terrible noise outside Mount Shu continued for a day and a night, and only then did the clouds of the Heavenly Tribulation that stretched for a thousand miles dissipate.

“The Sect Leader’s presence is still there; he successfully stepped into the Unity Realm,”

Lu Changsheng sensed that Taiyuan Zhenren’s aura had grown much stronger; it appeared that Taiyuan Zhenren had successfully taken that step.

Xia Ningxue muttered to herself, “If Master knew this news, he would surely breathe a sigh of relief.”

While Taiyuan Zhenren was undergoing his Tribulation, Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue continued to practice the Holy Spirit Sword Art.

The two gained a large amount of Sword Dao comprehension and, thanks to the Dual Cultivation System, they also received additional returned Sword Dao comprehension, making their practice progress even faster.

Lu Changsheng was quite concerned about the sealed longsword Xia Ningxue was carrying on her back.

According to Xia Ningxue, this sword was a Sect-Defending Treasure of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, of unknown grade.

Lu Changsheng did not inquire further, as it was the trump card of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion.

In addition to the Holy Spirit Sword Art, Lu Changsheng continued to practice the Supreme Purity Limitless Technique, the Primordial Sword Scripture, the Grand Thousand Sword Formation, the Drunken Fairy Gazing Moon Step, the Soul Searching Skills, the Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills, and the Hundredfold Desolate Force.

Lu Changsheng did not forget to perform the Power-infusing Initiation for his disciples.

His disciples also practiced day and night, hoping to catch up to their master as quickly as possible.

If their cultivation reached the Void Refinement Realm and they used Immortal Artifacts, they could help their master against powerful enemies.

Currently, Lu Changsheng did not have any disciples in the Void Refinement Realm, so he could return at most one Immortal Artifact per month.

Each month, Lu Changsheng persisted in rewarding his disciples with a batch of magical artifacts, especially Flying Sword artifacts.

Lu Changsheng had three lower-grade Immortal Swords, but it was still not enough.

If he could obtain a medium-grade Immortal Sword or even a higher-grade Immortal Artifact with an even lower return probability, that would be more secure.

Lu Changsheng mainly gifted Flying Swords to his eldest disciple Lin Qingzhi, who was practicing the Tiangang Sword Formation.

[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a high-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure “Fire Beast Sword”, and received a hundredfold return reward: a medium-grade Innate Spirit Treasure “Thousand Flame Sword”.]

[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a high-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure “Against the Current Cold Sword”, and received a tenfold return reward: a low-grade Innate Spirit Treasure “Sky-cold Meteoric Iron Sword”.]

…

[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a medium-grade Innate Spirit Treasure “Eight Extremes Sword”, and received a thousandfold return reward: a low-grade Immortal Artifact “Boundless Immortal Sword”.]

On the third month, while rewarding Lin Qingzhi with magical Flying Swords, a fourth Immortal Sword was returned.

[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a medium-grade Innate Spirit Treasure “Thousand Flame Sword”, and received a twentyfold return reward: a high-grade Innate Spirit Treasure “Flame Crow Sword”.]

[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a medium-grade Innate Spirit Treasure “Drifting Snow Piercing Clouds Sword”, and received a six hundredfold return reward: a low-grade Immortal Artifact “Golden Summit Piercing Clouds Sword”.]

On the ninth month, a fifth lower-grade Immortal Sword was returned.

[Ding, you have bestowed your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a medium-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, “Sky-cold Meteoric Iron Sword,” and received a thousandfold return reward for mentoring: a lower grade Immortal Artifact “Against the Current Cold.”]

In the eighteenth month, the sixth lower-grade Immortal Sword was returned.

Until now, Lu Changsheng had six Immortal Swords in his body, namely Blazing Extermination, Morning Light, Boundless, Against the Current Cold, Azure Light Frost Brilliance, and Golden Summit Piercing Clouds.

Each of the six Immortal Swords had its own unique name.

The six Immortal Swords could form a Sword Array on their own.

Lu Changsheng used the system’s battle simulation feature to conduct a simulated battle, testing the might of the Tiangang Sword Formation made up of the six Immortal Swords.

This time, the system simulated a strong opponent at the sixth layer of the Void Refinement Realm wielding an Immortal Sword, also a Sword Cultivator.

Lu Changsheng circulated the Taiqing Wuji Technique, unleashing the first layer of the Tiangang Sword Formation, where six lower-grade Immortal Artifacts formed a sword array, besieging the sixth layer Void Refinement Realm powerhouse.

The Sword Array formed by the six Immortal Swords was filled with murderous intent, the Sword Qi crisscrossing, constantly slicing at the formidable enemy within the formation.

The sixth layer Void Refinement Realm Sword Dao expert struggled desperately, but ultimately was unable to withstand the attacks of the six Immortal Swords and was annihilated by the Tiangang Sword Formation.

“Phew…”

Operating the six Immortal Swords simultaneously, Lu Changsheng’s consumption of True Qi reached an astounding sixfold.

After slaying the simulated sixth layer Void Refinement Realm powerhouse, there wasn’t a trace of True Qi left in Lu Changsheng’s body.

The six Immortal Swords returned to his body.

“If I use the six Immortal Swords as the core, and deploy the Grand Thousand Sword Formation, I could slay even higher realm adversaries. But I need a higher level of cultivation to sustain the peerless Sword Array with six Immortal Swords at the core, and a thousand Flying Swords in the periphery.”

Lu Changsheng was greatly satisfied with the initial test of the power of the Sword Array formed by the six Immortal Swords.

The opponent was equivalent to facing six Sword Dao experts each wielding an Immortal Sword.

“Xuan’er’s cultivation should be about to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm soon.”

While Lu Changsheng cultivated at Qingyun Peak, as time flew by, his fifth disciple Ji Xuan, under his Power-infusing Initiation and various Elixir Pills nourishing her Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Bloodline, advanced by leaps and bounds, going from the initial Qi Transformation Realm to the ninth layer of the Nascent Soul Realm, just one step away from Dao Palace Realm.

“Xuan’er, come to your teacher’s cave abode.”

“Yes.”

Ji Xuan soon arrived at Lu Changsheng’s cave abode.

With her cultivation, she could already transform her fox tail, yet Ji Xuan still kept her fox tail, the tail swinging occasionally, charming and enchanting.

“This is a sixth-grade Elixir Pill ‘Soul Nourishing Pill’, which can nourish the soul, strengthen the Nascent Soul, and reduce the risks when breaking through to the Dao Palace Realm.”

“This is a sixth-grade Elixir Pill ‘Hui Snake Golden Pill’, containing immense demon power, which you can use to replenish during your breakthrough.”

Lu Changsheng took out two Elixir Pills, preparing for his disciple’s breakthrough.

“Xuan’er thanks Master.”

An excited Ji Xuan expressed that her master had thoughtfully prepared the Elixir Pills she needed for the breakthrough.

“You may go back to your cultivation.”

As Ji Xuan advanced from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Dao Palace Realm, Lu Changsheng would also receive a disciple realm advancement reward.

“Understood.”

With great respect, Ji Xuan performed the disciple salute and then excused herself.

Although she was of the Demon Race, under the guidance of Lu Changsheng, she was no different from the typical Mount Shu disciples.

[Ding, you have bestowed upon your disciple Ji Xuan a sixth-grade Elixir Pill “Hui Snake Golden Pill,” and received an eight-hundredfold return mentoring reward: an eighth-grade Elixir Pill “Red Flood Dragon Gold Pill.”]

[Ding, you have bestowed upon your disciple Ji Xuan a sixth-grade Elixir Pill “Soul Nourishing Pill,” and received an eight-thousandfold return mentoring reward: a ninth-grade Elixir Pill “Convergence Pill.”]
