Black Night Filled the Sky
Chapter 342 First Came the Great Dao, Then Came Heaven; Daoist Changsheng Still Came Before
Lu Changsheng's voice slowly rang out, incomparably aloof.
He wasn't really after their magic treasures. He was just being cautious. Although he didn't know why they were so afraid of him, making them hand over their treasures first would be advantageous to him in any case.
The five of them looked at each other, somewhat dazed, not knowing why the Lord of the Divine Mountain wanted their treasures.
But they didn't hesitate at all, and directly placed all their immortal artifacts on the ground.
To be honest, these five guys really had some good stuff.
One Immortal Lord artifact after another was placed on the ground, truly a substantial fortune.
Originally, Lu Changsheng hadn't had any hope for them at all, and was purely being a little cautious. But seeing so many Immortal Lord artifacts, Lu Changsheng was moved.
One Immortal Lord artifact could offset ten years of his hard cultivation. Looking at it, there were twenty or thirty of them.
That was equivalent to saving him two or three hundred years of hard cultivation, enough for two more body temperings.
Immortal World cultivators were really rich.
Lu Changsheng was surprised, but though he was astonished inside, he remained calm on the surface.
"What is this Divine Mountain?"
Lu Changsheng asked, his tone calm.
Although he didn't know why these people were afraid of him, Lu Changsheng wasn't stupid. He knew these people must have misunderstood something, so he decided to play along.
At the same time, streams of Great Dao Qi appeared beneath his feet, surrounding him like a god, visually even more shocking.
Especially Li Xuanming. The treasure bottle on his head trembled wildly, and finally disappeared. His strands of Great Dao Qi couldn't even compare to one strand of Lu Changsheng's, let alone three thousand Great Daos surrounding him?
Lu Changsheng's voice, to the five of them, sounded like the music of the Great Dao.
None of the five would believe that Lu Changsheng was just a Golden Immortal cultivator.
They couldn't see through Lu Changsheng's cultivation level, and were even more intimidated by the extraordinary phenomena.
"Reporting, Divine Lord, in the Immortal World, cultivators call this place Tianyuan Divine Mountain (Profound Abyss Divine Mountain)."
Chen Yu said tremblingly, his body shaking. He answered the question with a stiff upper lip.
"Tianyuan Divine Mountain?"
Lu Changsheng was even more curious, not understanding what this meant.
"Yes, reporting, Divine Lord, because this place is full of peerless grand formations, and because you once casually killed several Divine Clan prodigies and blasted away an unsurpassed existence of the Divine Clan, this place has become the Supreme Divine Mountain of the Eastern Immortal World."
"Please, Divine Lord, do not blame us. We entered the mountain this time purely by accident. We absolutely have no schemes. We beg the Divine Lord to see clearly and let us go."
Chen Yu's courage was about to break. He really couldn't bear Lu Changsheng surrounded by three thousand Great Daos. That kind of pressure was divine might.
The Qi of the Great Dao was divine might. How could normal cultivators withstand the appearance of three thousand Great Daos?
"Supreme Divine Mountain?"
Lu Changsheng was stunned in his heart, but after thinking carefully, he suddenly understood somewhat.
Could it be that the place he was in was a secret realm?
No wonder he said the surrounding area was full of peerless formations.
He was thinking, even if the Immortal World was strong, it shouldn't be this terrifying, right? Peerless formations everywhere? It turned out his luck was so bad that he directly came to a Divine Mountain.
I'm finished! I'm finished! I'm finished!
Lu Changsheng panicked. Before, not knowing, everything was fine, but now that he knew this was a Divine Mountain, Lu Changsheng panicked immediately.
He was just a mere Golden Immortal cultivator, and he came to the so-called Divine Mountain upon ascending to the Immortal World.
Although he didn't know how terrifying this Divine Mountain was, adding the word "Divine" certainly made it extraordinary.
The strongest in the Immortal World were the Divine Clan, weren't they?
Since it had "Divine" in its name, it must be strong.
Lu Changsheng began to panic inside, but on the surface, he was still incomparably aloof. His eyes were indifferent to everything in the world, as if even if the sky fell, he wouldn't react in the slightest.
But it was precisely this transcendence and indifference that made people believe even more that he was the Lord of the Divine Mountain.
"Divine Lord, please forgive us. This one is willing to be a servant, to serve the Divine Lord. I beg the Divine Lord to forgive us."
Seeing Lu Changsheng silent, Chen Chiyu finally gritted her teeth and said these words.
As soon as Chen Chiyu finished speaking, the other four were stunned. They glanced at Chen Chiyu, wanting to say something, but ultimately didn't.
Lu Changsheng came back to his senses.
He looked at the five of them, especially Chen Chiyu. She was indeed beautiful, but compared to Linglong Saintess and Ziyun, she was still slightly inferior.
"What era is it now?"
Although he was panicking inside, Lu Changsheng still felt it necessary to put on an act on the surface. What if these five knew he wasn't the Divine Lord?
He wasn't afraid of fighting. Had Lu Changsheng ever been afraid in his life?
The main thing was that there were array patterns everywhere here. What if he accidentally stepped on a death formation while fighting? Wouldn't he be finished?
"What era? Divine Lord, it is now the Middle Ancient Era."
Li Xuanming answered with a stiff upper lip.
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, then sighed, his eyes revealing a look of regret. He glanced around slowly and said.
"I didn't expect that one sleep would pass an era. I wonder if those old friends are still around."
Lu Changsheng sighed, incomparably regretful, causing the five to be struck by lightning, shocked beyond belief.
One sleep was an era?
An era was 10,800 epochs. The lifespan of an Immortal King was only a hundred epochs, and even an Immortal Emperor might not live through an era. The Divine Lord before their eyes slept through an era. How terrifying was that?
This was simply a god.
"Dare... dare we ask, Divine Lord, which era do you exist from?"
Lingjiu Daoren couldn't help but ask.
But in the next moment, Lu Changsheng glanced at Lingjiu Daoren, his tone icy cold.
"Are you worthy to ask about my affairs?"
Lu Changsheng's tone was a little cold.
In an instant, the five felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. They immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to beg for forgiveness. Before, they weren't sure if this was the Divine Lord, but now they completely believed that Lu Changsheng was the Divine Lord, and that this Divine Lord's strength surpassed their imagination.
"Alright." Seeing the few kneeling on the ground kowtowing repeatedly, Lu Changsheng spoke to stop them. It was enough to deceive them a little. If he kept making them kowtow and they realized it later, wouldn't that be an irreconcilable blood feud?
"Although you are not worthy to know my origins, have you ever heard of it?"
"Before the Great Dao, there was Heaven, Daoist Changsheng was even before."
Lu Changsheng slowly spoke, his tone extremely calm.
But in an instant.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As soon as Lu Changsheng's voice fell, the entire Divine Mountain erupted with immeasurable divine light, and Lu Changsheng's extraordinary phenomena all unfolded in an instant.
The Qi of the Three Thousand Great Daos, the Great Dao Azure Lotus, the Immortal Golden Core, the Perfect Nascent Soul, the Three Purities Primordial Spirit…
The terrifying extraordinary phenomena unfolded, and the entire Divine Mountain trembled.
In an instant, dark clouds covered the entire Immortal World. That's right, the entire Immortal World.
The supreme divine light condensed by Tianyuan Divine Mountain soared into the sky, and terrifying extraordinary phenomena appeared, as if an immortal god had descended.
Within Tianyuan Ancient City.
One Immortal Saint after another was shocked.
This kind of extraordinary phenomenon hadn't occurred in an epoch.
"Is someone undergoing an Emperor Tribulation?"
Just then, within Tianyuan Ancient City, a magnificent voice resounded, and in an instant, countless cultivators in the entire Eastern Immortal World were shocked.
It was the voice of an Immortal King, the voice of an Immortal King.
Moreover, this Immortal King's voice was filled with shock and disbelief.
The world was shocked and subconsciously thought someone was undergoing an Emperor Tribulation.
"Is my Immortal World about to have another Immortal Emperor?"
Another voice of an Immortal King rang out.
Although in the Immortal World, the number of Immortal Kings might be in the thousands, compared to the entire Immortal World, the number of cultivators couldn't be described with tens of trillions. Even hundreds of trillions wouldn't be enough.
And under such a terrifying base number, the fact that there were possibly less than a thousand Immortal Kings was indeed considered few.
Of course, compared to the Demon World, it was different. The Demon World only had three Immortal Kings, their last bit of face.
"Is it the Lord of the Heavenly Court?"
The voice of the Immortal King rang out again, thinking it was the Lord of the Heavenly Court undergoing a tribulation, thus attracting this terrifying extraordinary phenomenon.
"No, impossible. The Lord of the Heavenly Court is still in the Heavenly Court. He couldn't have come to our Eastern Immortal World to undergo a tribulation. The Emperor Tribulation is of great importance. Even if he is strong, he would never dare to come to the Eastern Immortal World to undergo a tribulation. Moreover, the Emperor Tribulation seems to be related to Tianyuan Divine Mountain."
Another voice of an Immortal King rang out, like the Brahma sound of the Great Dao, resounding throughout the entire Eastern Immortal World.
"This is not an Emperor Tribulation. This is a major extraordinary phenomenon."
But soon, another Immortal King of the Eastern Immortal World spoke, realizing that this was not an Immortal Emperor Tribulation.
Looking up, dark clouds covered the entire Eastern Immortal World, terrifying and monstrous. Within the tribulation lightning, there were illusory images of various divine beasts, and even humanoid creatures resembling gods, making people terrified. An Immortal Saint opened his divine eyes, wanting to see clearly what was behind the tribulation lightning.
But in an instant, blood flowed from his eyes, and he screamed in pain.
This kind of tribulation lightning involved huge karma. Even Immortal Saints couldn't open their eyes.
However, at this moment, a terrifying voice resounded, as if it was the voice of the Lord of Heaven, or the sound of the Heavenly Dao, resounding throughout the entire Immortal World.
"Before the Great Dao, there was Heaven, Daoist Changsheng was even before."
The ancient voice resounded, like the Brahma sound of the Heavenly Dao, as if a god was speaking, spreading to every corner of the entire Immortal World.
As this voice rang out, all the cultivators in the Immortal World were in an uproar.
"Hiss! Before the Great Dao, there was Heaven? Daoist Changsheng was even before? Who is this? How could he be so terrifying?"
"Even before the Great Dao? He was born before the Great Dao came into being?"
"An unsurpassed forbidden existence that transcends the Chaos Era?"
"Heavens, how could there be such a terrifying cultivator in this world? Even earlier than the Great Dao?"
"Am I hearing things?"
The entire Immortal World was in an uproar.
Since ancient times, even Immortal Kings who said they had lived for a hundred epochs were already considered top-notch.
If you said you had lived through an era, that would be an unsurpassed existence. Even the Divine Clan prodigies would give way.
Living long didn't necessarily mean being the strongest, but living long at least meant you weren't too bad.
Lu Changsheng's one sentence was simply heaven-defying.
The Heavenly Dao was born in the Chaos Era.
Because when Chaos first opened, there was no Heavenly Dao yet. Only after sentient beings possessed thoughts did the Heavenly Dao come into being.
And before the Heavenly Dao was the Great Dao. No one knew what era the Great Dao was born in.
However, Lu Changsheng's sentence, "even before the Great Dao," how could that not be heaven-defying?
That was simply heaven-defying to the extreme.
Every Immortal King was stunned. The entire Immortal World was in an uproar. Every Immortal King was shocked into silence.
Central Heavenly Court.
The supreme Heavenly Emperor sat in his treasure hall, and after hearing this voice, he was also stunned.
"The existence within Tianyuan Divine Mountain is actually so terrifying?"
The Heavenly Emperor spoke, his expression extremely solemn.
At this moment, although he still appeared somewhat calm on the surface, his heart was churning.
This voice subverted his understanding of the Immortal World.
He thought the Divine Clan experts were already the strongest, but he didn't expect such experts to exist in the Immortal World.
Being born even earlier than the Great Dao, to be honest, even if it was a pig, if it cultivated to this era...
...it would probably already be invincible.
"I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled! I must quickly advance to the Immortal Emperor realm! Only by advancing to the Immortal Emperor realm can I be qualified to step into that level! Otherwise, without becoming an Immortal Emperor, I won't even qualify as an ant!"
The Lord of the Heavenly Court roared in his heart.
In reality, he was indeed blessed by the heavens, powerful and invincible, and his immortal destiny was also terrifyingly great, but unfortunately, he met someone... who only knew how to act cool.
Beyond the Thirty-Third Heaven.
Within an extremely terrifying small world.
An old man with white hair suddenly opened his eyes.
"Is... is he back?"
His voice was very calm, but all the heavens were trembling. Behind him were images of the creation and destruction of the universe, so terrifying that even Immortal Kings couldn't look directly at him.
At this moment.
Tianyuan Divine Mountain.
Yang Ping and the other four were completely petrified.
With Lu Changsheng's six extraordinary phenomena unleashed, standing before them, he looked more like a god than a god.
But Lu Changsheng himself had no idea what a shocking thing he had done.
The Heavenly Dao's voice resounded throughout the entire Immortal World, but unfortunately, Tianyuan Divine Mountain couldn't hear it.
Boom!
All the extraordinary phenomena were withdrawn.
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly.
He also didn't understand why, after saying a word, the extraordinary phenomena within his body couldn't help but spread outward.
It was very strange. Could it be that the extraordinary phenomena couldn't help but cooperate with his act of being cool?
He glanced at the five who were completely petrified.
Lu Changsheng casually took away the immortal artifacts in front of them.
However, at this moment, a golden bridge appeared from within Tianyuan Divine Mountain, directly appearing before Lu Changsheng.
This golden bridge was like a bridge of reception.
"Wake up."
Lu Changsheng softly shouted, and Yang Ping and the other four instantly woke up, but they were weak all over. They had been frightened by Lu Changsheng's words and the terrifying extraordinary phenomena.
"You five trespassed on the Divine Mountain. You originally deserved to die, but considering that you five indeed had no intention of plotting, I will spare your lives."
Lu Changsheng said calmly.
After saying these words, he directly stepped onto the golden bridge and left.
But Yang Ping and the other five were still kneeling on the ground, really needing some time to buffer the shock in their hearts.
Not to mention Yang Ping and the other four.
All the cultivators in the entire Immortal World needed to calm down.
Although the tribulation lightning had dissipated, the sentence from before still lingered in their ears.
"Before the Great Dao, there was Heaven, Daoist Changsheng was even before."
At this moment, throughout the entire Immortal World, countless experts were flipping through the classics.
They wanted to find out.
Who this Daoist Changsheng...
...actually was!
