Chapter 281: Chapter 273: 140 Years of Closed-door Cultivation, Battle with the Ancient Sect Leader of Mount Shu! (4K)_3

Lu Changsheng secluded himself for one hundred and forty years, advancing from the second level of the Unity Realm to the very peak of the fifth layer, a rate of cultivation that was simply astounding.

It took Situ Kong two thousand years after leaving Mount Shu to cultivate from the ninth layer of the Void Refinement Realm to the second layer of the Unity Realm.

Lu Changsheng had merely secluded himself for one hundred and forty years, without even descending the mountain for experiential growth, yet there were no signs of him becoming possessed by his energies, and his cultivation did not stagnate midway.

In fact, thanks to the functionality of the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator that allowed for simulated battles, Lu Changsheng could simulate fights against various unparalleled geniuses whenever he encountered a bottleneck.

The opponents simulated by the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator included past Sect Leaders and Supreme Elders of Mount Shu.

Among the past Supreme Elders of Mount Shu, there were no lack of Unity Realm powerhouses.

The simulated opponents also included past Sect Leaders and Supreme Elders from the Martial Alliance, Immeasurable Temple, Hidden Dragon Temple, and even past Sect Leaders from the Penglai Sword Sect and Wind Thunder Pavilion.

With the help of the simulation battle function of the system, Lu Changsheng fought against various strong figures, gaining insights even deeper than those he would have gained during normal experiential growth off the mountain.

Thus, Lu Changsheng could attain experiential growth and enlightenment, as well as witness various Cultivation Techniques and secret techniques, without leaving Qingyun Peak.

“Lu truly is no ordinary person; I secluded myself for a hundred years, only managing to cultivate from the third layer of the Void Refinement Realm to the fourth layer,” said Lu.

Li Changye was already an unparalleled genius, yet even he could not keep up with Lu Changsheng’s rate of cultivation, and had even been surpassed by disciples of Qingyun Peak, leaving Li Changye with no choice but to smile wryly.

The master and disciples of Qingyun Peak were frankly monstrous.

Taiyuan Zhenren spoke, “Now that Changsheng has reached the fifth layer of the Unity Realm, he should be able to contend for a place for our Mount Shu. The Grand Zhong Zhou Conference is a rare event that occurs only once every fifty thousand years, with numerous powerful individuals, a conference of martial debates. Even a Unity Realm powerhouse, with ten to twenty thousand years of longevity, might not get to experience the Grand Zhong Zhou Conference. The prominent young generation of our Mount Shu should all go to Zhong Zhou to broaden their horizons. As the previous Sect Leader of Mount Shu, I should prioritize the Sect and will stay behind to guard Mount Shu. For this trip, Elder Martial Uncle and Changsheng will lead the team.”

“Xia State is far from Zhong Zhou, and we might encounter Demon Sects from other regions along the way. Hence, our Mount Shu will travel to Zhong Zhou together with the Martial Alliance, Immeasurable Temple, Hidden Dragon Temple, and Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, the four great Sects. In this way, we can ensure absolute safety.”

“Yes.”

Li Changye, Song Wuchuan, Zhao Wuyan, Murong Shi, and other Elders of Mount Shu all appeared slightly excited.

The Grand Zhong Zhou Conference, only occurring once every fifty thousand years, might not even be experienced once by a Unity Realm powerhouse, yet this generation of Elders had precisely encountered it.

The Grand Zhong Zhou Conference gathered strong figures from Sects across various regions, some of which had been established earlier than Mount Shu and boasted even more profound heritage.

The strongest among them, the Star Pavilion, with a history of one million years, had hundreds of unparalleled geniuses that had ascended to the Immortal Realm. A rough estimate indicated that every ten thousand years, several unparalleled geniuses from Star Pavilion ascended to the Immortal Realm.

Thus, it wouldn’t be surprising if a few geniuses qualified to ascend to the Immortal Realm emerged from Star Pavilion during this conference.

The Mount Shu Elders of the Void Refinement and Dao Palace realms might not be of much help on this trip, but just witnessing the competition of strong figures from across the major regions would yield tremendous gains.

Situ Kong said, “This time, our Mount Shu’s main force in the conference will be Changsheng, while Elder Martial Ancestor I will merely provide protection along the way, leaving all matters to be decided by Changsheng. Once the teams from the other four Sects arrive, we will set off for Zhong Zhou.”

Suddenly, Lu Changsheng looked towards the exterior of Mount Shu, only to see streaks of light rapidly approaching: “The teams from the four great Sects have arrived.”
