Chapter 265: Chapter 265: This Time, The Adversary Comes From The Immortal Realm

The two elders from the Penglai Sword Sect were taken aback. Lu Changsheng had not made any demands; he simply agreed to help because the Penglai Sword Sect had been kind to his disciple.

“Elders, please stay with us at Qingyun Peak for a short while. Once I’ve gathered the other sects, we shall proceed to the Penglai Sword Sect together. Qingzhi, arrange for them to stay in the guest rooms,”

Lu Changsheng left the two Penglai Sword Sect elders at Qingyun Peak without rushing to their sect.

He still needed to retreat and master the eleventh level of the Taiqing Wuji Technique to break through to the second level of the Unity Realm with more assurance.

The two Penglai Sword Sect elders took up residence on Qingyun Peak.

They were aware that Lu Changsheng, as the Sect Leader of Mount Shu, needed to summon powerful allies from other sects in Xia State to contend with the Wind Thunder Pavilion.

“It’s indeed the dwelling of Mount Shu’s Sect Leader; even the big yellow dog guarding the gate is at the peak of the Dao Palace Realm!”

The two Penglai Sword Sect elders were amazed to find that the Daoist Earth Hound guarding the gate of Qingyun Peak was a Great Demon at the peak of the Dao Palace Realm.

Daoist Earth Hound merely glanced at the two Penglai Sword Sect elders before continuing to lie down and bask in the sun.

In the past, in front of two elders of the Penglai Sword Sect with Void Refinement Realm cultivation, Daoist Earth Hound would have trembled in fear. But now, his master was an unparalleled expert of the Unity Realm, as well as the Sect Leader of Mount Shu. To Daoist Earth Hound, these two Void Refinement Realm elders from the Penglai Sword Sect were insignificant.

“Qingzhi, send a few Mount Shu disciples to notify Immeasurable Temple, Martial Alliance, Hidden Dragon Temple, Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, and invite the sect leaders of the major sects to Mount Shu. It’s time to inform them of the important matter that beings from the Immortal Realm have appeared in the Wind Thunder Pavilion,”

“Additionally, go to the Ten Thousand Swords Peak and inform the two Ancestral Masters about your observations in the Wind Thunder Pavilion.”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes were sharp.

Even if this time the opponent was a mysterious strong being from the Immortal Realm, since they had come to this world, they could only coil as a dragon or crouch as a tiger.

“Disciple will go to arrange it now.”

Lin Qingzhi summoned four Mount Shu disciples at the Golden Core Realm, each with a sealed letter, to go to the other four major sects.

Lu Changsheng, meanwhile, was in the final stages of contemplating the eleventh level of the Taiqing Wuji Technique, seeking a breakthrough.

The spiritual energy returned by his disciple these days was used by Lu Changsheng for body tempering and cultivating the Immortal Divine Art. The rest was used to enhance his cultivation level.

Above Mount Shu, a vista of Thousand Miles of Purple Qi could be seen coming from the east, forming a sea of clouds and presenting a magnificent spectacle.

When the two Penglai Sword Sect elders saw the grand heavenly phenomenon, they couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, “Our Penglai Sword Sect has records of the Taiqing Wuji Technique, the Sect-Defending Skill of Mount Shu. Reaching the ninth level, Great Perfection, can attract three thousand miles of purple aura. Yet, the current phenomenon has reached the scale of ten thousand miles, which is unimaginable.”

At Ten Thousand Swords Peak, Taiyuan Zhenren and Situ Kong were visibly shaken after hearing the intelligence brought back by Lin Qingzhi from Luzhou.

The enemy this time hailed from the Immortal Realm!

In the several hundreds of thousands of years since Mount Shu was founded, only about a dozen peerless geniuses had successfully ascended to the Immortal Realm.

In other words, unless the enemy was born in the Immortal Realm, they must certainly be a figure of exceptional genius.

Furthermore, the strength and cultivation techniques of the beings from the Immortal Realm far surpassed those of the Unity Realm.

“Even if this unnamed strong being from the Immortal Realm is suppressed by the power of this world, with their past experience and mastery of the techniques and divine skills from the Immortal Realm, their cultivation speed will surely accelerate rapidly,”

“If the opponent is an Ancestral Master level being who has descended, then the situation will be even more difficult.”

“Your master is doing the right thing by summoning the leaders of the major sects for a meeting to support the Penglai Sword Sect. He should go ahead with it, for Mount Shu is under our watch,”

Situ Kong and Taiyuan expressed a grave look.

If the invader from the Immortal Realm was an unparalleled genius of the Ancestral Master level, even Taiyuan was not sure whether Lu Changsheng could handle him.

After all, the opponent had passed the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation and ascended to the Immortal Realm, their understanding of the great Dao could almost be said to surpass that of all the experts in this world.

Even if the individual was merely of the Dao Palace realm, their ability to give direction to the Unity Realm’s Wind Thunder Pavilion Master and the peak of the Void Refinement Realm’s Summoning Demon Palace Master spoke volumes.

“Then, disciple will take his leave,”

Lin Qingzhi mounted his sword and departed.

Situ Kong turned to Taiyuan, “Taiyuan, do you think it’s possible that the Demon Lord isn’t the calamity prophesied by the Ancestral Master? Could this be the actual cataclysm that was predicted?”

“The Ancestral Master should be cultivating in the Immortal Realm right now. He foretold a cataclysm for Mount Shu forty thousand years ago. If this disaster is related to the mysterious powerhouse from the Immortal Realm, then it would make sense,”

Taiyuan had also realized this possibility.

The Demon Lord, as a Pan Ni Phoenix Physique, emerged unexpectedly and might have just coincided with the timing of the cataclysm, rather than being the one in the Ancestral Master’s prophecy.

If the Daoist Ancestor of Mount Shu were still alive, there might be a connection to this strong being who had come to the Mortal World from the Immortal Realm, hence the prior warning to the people of Mount Shu. However, they had misinterpreted the Ancestral Master’s intentions, mistaking the unfortunate Demon Lord as the predicted disaster.

The more Situ Kong and Taiyuan thought about it, the more probable it seemed.

At the same time, the sect leaders of the Immeasurable Temple, the Martial Alliance, the Hidden Dragon Temple, and the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion all received a secret missive from Lu Changsheng.

Mount Shu is the leader of Xia State’s Righteous Dao, and all actions are led by Mount Shu’s Sect Leader.

This was the first time Lu Changsheng, as the Sect Leader of Mount Shu, had summoned the powerful figures from the major sects.

“The kid’s doing well, now even I have to follow his command. But this time, the enemy is from the Immortal Realm, which is truly beyond belief. What could they be after, risking annihilation by the heavenly laws to forcefully come to this world?”

Grandmaster Chen of the Martial Alliance was somber upon learning that Lu Changsheng planned to lead many powerful figures of Xia State against an opponent from the Immortal Realm.

Practitioners in the Unity Realm had a lifespan limit of only ten to twenty thousand years, while those from the Immortal Realm were unknown and, thus, frighteningly ancient.

While the Martial Alliance had produced many Body Tempering geniuses, only seven or eight had ascended to the Immortal Realm.

“The strong enemy from the Immortal Realm appears to be the catastrophe prophesied by the Mount Shu Ancestral Master. It seems I had issues when I tried to divine the future. I never expected that the person to reveal the true disaster would be a junior who has cultivated for three hundred years in Mount Shu,”

Yuxuanji of the Hidden Dragon Temple realized the truth and was struck by a sudden understanding.

Her cultivation was not sufficient to predict news related to the strong being from the Immortal Realm.

The greater the opponent’s origin, the easier it was to obscure the heavenly secrets.

“Amitabha Buddha, this enemy is even more troublesome than the Demon Lord and is likely the disaster predicted by the Ancestral Master of Mount Shu, as Taiyuan said. I must make my way to Mount Shu,”

Master Wuxiang emerged from seclusion, his holy presence shining brightly, his aura much stronger than at the time of the Mount Shu disaster.

At the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, Xia Ningxue also received Lu Changsheng’s letter and found her disciple, Su Qian’er, who was cultivating, “Master, your disciple needs to go to Mount Shu, please remain here to oversee our sect,”
