Chapter 1 The Tower

Bright Moon Ancient City.

A divine tower stood between heaven and earth.

Covering the sky and earth.

The Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda had officially evolved into the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, and its power was beyond the imagination of any cultivator in the lower realm.

Apart from Lu Changsheng, no one knew the power of this pagoda, but what the world knew was that Lu Changsheng was completely invincible.

However... Lu Changsheng was also very clear about how exaggerated his pagoda was now.

A wisp of divine might could suppress the entire cultivation world.

If it were completely revived, this Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda could directly destroy ten thousand cultivation worlds with just one strike.

But there was a fatal flaw.

That was that you needed powerful mana to revive the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda.

Without powerful mana, this pagoda, apart from being inherently invincible, had no great use at all.

In other words, the pagoda had indeed received a terrifying buff, but if the realm could not keep up, it would completely be a defensive treasure.

Of course, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda was originally a defensive divine object, not an offensive treasure, so there was no problem.

Being able to save one's life was enough; fighting and killing were so boring.

At this moment.

All the brilliance converged, and the cultivation world returned to tranquility.

Everything, everything calmed down.

If the previous events were not still vivid in their minds, they probably would not have believed that such a thing had happened.

The banquet was deathly silent.

Everyone did not know what to say.

Praise? Was there a need?

Shock? Was it not enough?

Amazement? It seemed they had become accustomed to it.

Perhaps only silence was the greatest response.

"At the end of the immortal path, who is the peak? Once you see Changsheng, the Dao becomes empty."

Finally, someone smiled bitterly and said these words, which were seen in the Langya Secret Realm.

He participated in the Langya Secret Realm and was an old cultivator. He smiled wryly.

"In every era, there will be an extremely extraordinary genius who suppresses everything. Every era has its first, but the first of this era is too despairing. I believe that in the next million years, ten million years, or even hundreds of millions of years, no one will surpass Lu Changsheng."

"The Great Luo Holy Land has produced more than just a dragon; it has simply produced an immortal."

"Let's mourn for the geniuses of this era for a while."

Many of the older generation of cultivators came back to their senses.

They did not know what words to use to describe Lu Changsheng's unparalleled extraordinariness.

Since ancient times, every era has had no shortage of geniuses, but the appearance of Lu Changsheng refreshed everyone's understanding of 'genius'.

Compared to Lu Changsheng, who at the Bright Moon Ancient City banquet dared to call themselves geniuses? Who dared to call themselves prodigies?

Perhaps they could not even compare to a single hair of Lu Changsheng?

Three years of cultivation, then already survived tribulation or achieved the Great Vehicle stage, and then uttered amazing words, becoming a literary saint, and then debated with Buddhism, spreading Mahayana Buddhism, traveling to the Ten Holy Lands of Central Continent, and doing something earth-shattering in each holy land.

Now, he was even establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a life for the people, continuing the lost knowledge for past sages, and creating peace for all generations, receiving the blessing of the Xuanhuang Dragon.

Directly transforming into an immortal body.

Each event was enough to make one famous throughout the world.

And all these things were gathered on Lu Changsheng alone.

Making the geniuses of the same generation completely despair, without any thought of catching up.

How could they catch up?

What could they use to catch up?

"In this debate, Immortal Changsheng has won."

However, at this moment, the City Lord of Bright Moon spoke, breaking the silence.

He no longer called Lu Changsheng a junior but truly called Lu Changsheng an immortal.

Lu Changsheng becoming an immortal was already a certainty; it was only a matter of time.

"Congratulations, Immortal Changsheng!"

"Congratulations, Immortal Changsheng!"

In the main hall, everyone spoke in unison, also calling him an immortal.

It was just that in everyone's eyes, there was no excitement, no shock, no elation, only inexplicable strangeness, and even several geniuses revealed despair.

Lu Changsheng stood like a sacred mountain in front of the cultivators.

If the path of cultivation was like climbing a mountain.

Then Lu Changsheng was already standing on the top of the mountain, while they did not even have the qualifications to appear at the foot of the mountain.

Far away in the Eastern Land.

When Thunder Child saw this scene, the despair in his eyes could not be concealed at all.

He sat on the ground as if he had lost his soul.

In his mind, he could not help but recall what Lu Changsheng had said that day.

"I will give you time to catch up until you can no longer see me."

That day, he did not understand the meaning of these words.

But now, he completely understood.

He originally thought that if he worked hard, one day he could surpass Lu Changsheng.

However, the gap between the two was completely widened today.

Lu Changsheng was already on the peak of a million-zhang mountain, while they were thousands of miles away from the foot of the mountain, unable to see his figure.

This was too invincible.

It was also too extraordinary.

When Lu Changsheng saw that everyone was silent, he did not know why, but he also fell silent.

The usual laughter was gone because he felt everyone's despair.

The kind of despair that came from the bottom of their hearts.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng suddenly realized that he had cut off the path of cultivation in the hearts of these geniuses.

He had turned into a sacred mountain, appearing in their hearts.

If they crossed it, they would completely transform, and becoming immortals would be easy.

But if they could not cross it, even if they became immortals, their lives would still be mediocre.

This was an obsession, a demonic obstacle, and also a mountain that was difficult to cross.

But, this was cultivation.

There was no fairness or unfairness, and there was no diligence that could make up for shortcomings.

Some people were destined to be brilliant in their lives.

Some people were destined to be poor and destitute in their lives.

What destiny was determined by the heart or not by the heart.

It was nothing more than deceiving oneself.

Perhaps it was a bit cruel, but that was the reality.

The banquet had become meaningless here.

Although everyone was still sitting here, everything was terrifyingly quiet.

Lu Changsheng did not say anything; he just sat here quietly.

Until suddenly, the Purple Green Holy Son stood up, raised his glass, looked at Lu Changsheng, and said with a serious face.

"Senior Brother Changsheng, to be fortunate enough to meet Senior Brother in this life, and to witness such a magnificent scene, is already a great honor for me. Today, this junior is here to wish Senior Brother Changsheng a prosperous immortal path!"

The Purple Green Holy Son spoke.

After saying these words, he drank a glass of wine, sincerely blessing Lu Changsheng.

In an instant, the Shumen Holy Son also stood up, still with the same words and the same behavior.

Soon, one person after another stood up. They came back to their senses, and the despair in their hearts could not be concealed, but everyone was indeed sincerely blessing Lu Changsheng.

Seeing this scene.

Lu Changsheng revealed a smile. He returned the respect to everyone, without missing a single one.

As Lu Changsheng remained humble and polite, the banquet regained its liveliness.

Although it was not as good as before, laughter and joy continued.

And so, it continued until Yin time (3-5 am).

Finally, the banquet ended.

Everyone bid farewell one by one.

In the end, in the banquet.

Only Lu Changsheng was left.

And the Qilin and Dragon Horse.

Compared to their despair, these two guys did not have a bit of despair. On the contrary, there was unconcealable joy and excitement in their eyes.

"Big brother, I really believe that I am the Dragon Horse Supreme! Come, come, now there are only three of us brothers left. Let's drink, let's drink."

The Dragon Horse was the most excited.

In fact, he still did not quite believe in Lu Changsheng, but seeing the scene just now, the Dragon Horse was completely convinced.

If this was not an Immortal King, what was it?

If he was not a Supreme, what was he?

"You actually don't believe in Big Brother Changsheng? Quickly punish yourself with three cups!"

Gu Aotian was also unusually excited.

Although he was not smart, he was not stupid. Before, Lu Changsheng gave the Dragon Horse amnesia pills, and inexplicably, he could not help but think of something.

It was just not good to say it out loud, but seeing Lu Changsheng cause such an anomaly, he was completely convinced.

Even if it was fake, it did not matter.

Following Lu Changsheng, was he still afraid of not being able to蹭 (cèng - gain) some luck?

"Come, let our three brothers not return until we are drunk."

Lu Changsheng smiled. The banquet was empty, and it seemed extremely quiet.

After the hustle and bustle, there was tranquility.

For a time, Lu Changsheng naturally felt a little unaccustomed to it.

But fortunately, with the Dragon Horse and Qilin around, he was not lonely.

It was just that Lu Changsheng inexplicably understood a sentence.

How lonely is invincibility! How lonely!

How empty is invincibility! How empty!

At the same time.

In the Great Wilderness Mountains.

A young man stood in a cave, pretending to look up at the stars, and sighed with emotion.

"Senior brother is worthy of being senior brother, he can actually say such earth-shattering sacred words!"

"Senior brother, don't worry, although I don't understand what the sword manual in the cave means, I will definitely work hard!"

"I will let you know that I, Liu Qingfeng, am not a burden!"

The voice sounded, but the response was the roar of beasts.
