Chapter 1 A Voice

Someone spoke, filled with doubt.

Rumor had it that Lu Changsheng had already transcended the Tribulation Stage and reached the Mahayana realm. So why was he condensing a Nascent Soul?

The question arose, and many others couldn't help but feel curious as well.

"Yes, weren't we told he was at the Tribulation Transcendence and Mahayana realms?"

"How did he suddenly start condensing a Nascent Soul?"

But soon, a cold snort rang out.

"You are truly ignorant and foolish. Changsheng is now condensing a celestial body, transforming and transcending the ordinary. This is a re-cultivation. Do you understand? Do you even know what re-cultivation is?"

The voice belonged to a true Mahayana realm expert.

It was the old Holy Master of the Taiyi Holy Land. He had been guarding the area around the Tianyuan Holy Ground. Now that such a thing had happened in Bright Moon Ancient City, he naturally appeared immediately.

"Re-cultivation?"

"Rebuilding from scratch?"

"Hiss! Isn't that something only ancient sages would do?"

"Ancient sages? Does my Senior Brother Lu not count as a sage, then?"

"Yes, yes, how could Senior Brother Lu not be considered a contemporary sage?"

Everyone was shocked.

Re-cultivation meant starting all over again. It wasn't that re-cultivating would necessarily make one stronger. On the contrary, it might make one weaker. Only sages dared to re-cultivate, those with great courage, extraordinary qualities, and immense willpower.

But in reality, such a thing could never happen to Lu Changsheng.

If he could become an immortal right now, even a weaker one, Lu Changsheng would accept it.

He only wanted to become an immortal. What perfect or imperfect realms, what re-cultivation or not? Was anyone out of their mind?

The Great Dao Nascent Soul emerged, sitting in the Taiji Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams, surrounded by the aura of the Great Dao.

This was a perfect Nascent Soul.

Having become a Nascent Soul Ancestor, Lu Changsheng didn't feel much. He only felt that his mana had become a little more profound. How strong he had become, Lu Changsheng himself didn't know.

And no one volunteered to let him try punching them.

But now, there were only five realms left ahead: Transformation, Spirit Division, Integration, Tribulation, and Mahayana.

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

Other protagonists would probably have ascended to the Immortal World in three years. But he, in three years, through diligent study and hard cultivation, had barely reached the Nascent Soul realm.

Only he could understand this sorrow.

Fortunately, the heavens did not fail those with a determined heart.

He had finally reached the Nascent Soul realm and saw the dawn on the road to immortality.

However, just at that moment, another voice suddenly rang out.

"I, Lu Changsheng, wish that everyone in the world may be like a dragon."

The voice was loud and clear. It was Lu Changsheng's voice, but not the one he had just spoken, but the one from three months ago.

This world had preserved that voice. And now that the Tianyuan Holy Ground was opened, allowing passage to the Immortal World, naturally, the ancient voice sounded again.

It spread from the Tianyuan Holy Ground to the Immortal World.

Rumble!

At that moment, another million-zhang Xuanhuang Merit Dragon appeared.

That's right, another Xuanhuang Merit Dragon.

City Lord of Bright Moon: "Again?"

Holy Son of the Shu Sect: "Does it have to be this exaggerated?"

Wang Xuanji: "Are you kidding me?"

Li Rulong: "Li Rucheng, when this feast is over, see how I beat you to death!"

Zhang Yuanru: "That was close, almost offended Senior Brother Lu. Glad I played it safe."

Linglong Holy Maiden: "No wonder Master told me to pass on a message. Senior Brother Lu really was holding back."

All the Chosen Ones: "Are you even letting us live?"

The older generation of cultivators: "I haven't lived in vain. I'm going to die now, don't stop me. Being able to see such a spectacle, I've seen through life. I'm going to die."

No one expected that at this time, another Xuanhuang Dragon would appear.

Having one appear was already extremely terrifying.

But now, two of them had appeared!

The first was because of the Four Phrases of Zhang Zai.

The second was because of "Everyone Like a Dragon."

Both were grand vows to Heaven and Earth. If they were placed in a higher plane, they could probably become Half-Saints.

Lu Changsheng was also stunned.

Why did another one come?

Is this ever going to end?

Are all the hype moments used up so quickly? How are we supposed to continue this?

Damn author, it's going to fall apart after 500,000 words.

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but complain in his heart.

It wasn't that he was ungrateful after receiving a benefit, but that the power of merit was no longer very useful to him.

But it could allow the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda to transform again.

Lu Changsheng didn't accept the terrifying Xuanhuang aura. He and the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda were already of the same origin.

Naturally, as the pagoda grew, he would also benefit.

Rumble!

The Xuanhuang Pagoda absorbed the Xuanhuang Dragon in just half an hour.

At that moment, the pagoda completely sublimated.

Its volume was a million zhang in size, like a terrifying mountain.

It didn't even need to be blessed with mana. With a slight tremor, it could shatter a star.

This was no longer a simple immortal artifact.

Two true dragon phantoms appeared, coiling around the pagoda, looking extremely terrifying.

At this moment, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda also transformed into the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda.

The addition of the word "Exquisite" signified immeasurable supremacy.

It could be said that with this treasure, even if Lu Changsheng ascended to the Immortal World, he wouldn't have to worry about anything.

Meanwhile, in the Immortal World, in the Central Heavenly Court,

palaces with brilliant immortal light towered above the void.

This was the Immortal World, magnificent and unparalleled. Each palace, if placed in the lower realm, would be an unsurpassed treasure.

Here, every strand of immortal energy could allow cultivators from the lower realm to break through repeatedly.

At the same time, in the Heavenly Court's Treasure Hall,

terrifying figures stood to the left and right of the hall, while a man sat in the central position.

Behind the man, dragons and phoenixes circled, with the aura of the Great Dao. It was terrifying, as if he could destroy billions of stars with a wave of his hand.

Even more frightening was that behind him were terrifying images, extremely dreadful. Slaying dragons, becoming a saint, establishing sacred words. Each image was his achievement.

They were his incarnations, creating one unsurpassed feat after another in the myriad worlds.

However, in the Heavenly Court, the sound of a bell rang, echoing twice in succession, causing the immortals to be surprised.

"What happened?"

A majestic voice rang out, with a hint of doubt.

"Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor, it seems that someone in the lower realm has made a grand vow to Heaven and Earth and has been recognized by the Heavenly Dao, so the Xuanhuang Dragon was awarded, causing the Heavenly Bell to ring."

Someone outside the hall said loudly, answering in this way.

"Oh? Made a grand vow to Heaven and Earth? Recognized by the Heavenly Dao? I didn't expect such an existence in the lower realm?"

The Heavenly Emperor, seated on the throne, spoke, appearing somewhat curious.

"Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor, there are hundreds of millions of different cultivation worlds in the lower realm. Over a long period of time, such a special existence can always appear. Your subject thinks that since it has appeared, we should pay close attention to it. When this person ascends, we can recruit him into my Heavenly Court and appoint him as a Fifth-Rank Immortal Official, which would be about right."

At that moment, a man in white robes answered in this way in the hall.

"Fifth Rank? Perhaps that's a bit of an overestimate. Just give him Sixth Rank. Taiyue, you can pay close attention to it, but this is not a big deal."

"Now, the resurrection of the Demon Emperor in the Demon Realm is the most important matter. We must not allow the people of the Demon Realm to resurrect the Demon Emperor's soul. Otherwise, it would not be a good thing for my Immortal World."

The Heavenly Emperor, in the seat of honor, spoke calmly.

And the immortals nodded one after another.

They didn't pay any more attention to this matter.

At this time, in the Lower Realm, in Bright Moon Ancient City...
