Chapter 1 The Return

Qingyun Daoren was back.

Lu Changsheng sensed it immediately.

However, he didn't say anything, just looked at his fellow disciples.

"Now that you have comprehended the Dharma, go back and slowly study it."

He said so.

The disciples also bowed and left one after another. This trip had been a great harvest for them.

However, Lu Changsheng's calm face couldn't help but furrow slightly.

Because he noticed that Qingyun Daoren's aura was a little abnormal.

In an instant, Lu Changsheng arrived at the Da Luo Palace.

As the acting Sacred Lord, he could directly bypass the Dengtian Ladder and didn't need to walk up step by step.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Changsheng walked into the Da Luo Palace and saw Qingyun Daoren sitting on the main seat.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Qingyun Daoren waved his hand. His aura fluctuated very strongly, and he didn't know what had happened.

"Is there a powerful enemy?"

Lu Changsheng was calm and didn't seem alarmed.

"It's not a powerful enemy, but I didn't expect that within the Fa Xian Sect, there were several hidden cultivators. I almost suffered a loss."

Qingyun Daoren's tone was also very calm.

But his aura fluctuations were indeed great, and these words made people gasp.

"Fa Xian Sect?"

This was the second time Lu Changsheng had heard of this sect, the organization that specializes in hunting down cultivators with high appearances.

Back in the Yin Yang Holy Land, the Fa Xian Sect had also taken action, trying to deliberately frame the demon race.

"Are they strong?"

Lu Changsheng asked curiously.

"Yes, ten powerhouses who should have died suddenly appeared, and I suffered a great loss."

Qingyun Daoren said with a slightly ugly expression.

"Ten?"

Lu Changsheng's expression also changed slightly. This was indeed a great loss.

"Now there are only two left."

But soon, Qingyun Daoren added.

Lu Changsheng: "..."

Damn, you've killed eight of their powerhouses, and you're still saying you suffered a great loss?

Lu Changsheng didn't know what to say.

It felt like the logic of someone saying, "If I don't gain an advantage, then I've suffered a loss."

"The remaining two guys ran away, otherwise, if we solved them together, there would really be no worries."

Qingyun Daoren said.

Very fierce.

"Changsheng, I may ascend as soon as I recover, and may not be able to attend your conferral ceremony."

Qingyun Daoren continued.

"This is a trivial matter!" Lu Changsheng shook his head, and then said, "Master, the most important thing now is your ascension!"

In fact, the conferral ceremony was indeed a trivial matter.

Ascension was the most important thing. If successful, you become an immortal; if you fail, there's nothing to say.

"Yes!" Qingyun Daoren nodded. He thought for a while and didn't say anything.

"Is Master worried that someone will come to make trouble on the day of ascension?"

Lu Changsheng wasn't stupid; on the contrary, he was very smart and immediately guessed what Qingyun Daoren was worried about.

"Yes, the day of ascension will naturally attract the attention of the world. Throughout history, some cultivators have encountered misfortune during ascension! So I am quite worried whether these people will come to make trouble during ascension."

Qingyun Daoren was indeed worried.

Ascension was very important. A single mistake could turn you to ashes. If someone deliberately made trouble, it would indeed be unsettling.

"There are many experts in the Holy Land. Even if they come, they probably won't get any advantage."

Lu Changsheng nodded, very confident in the Da Luo Holy Land's foundations.

However, Qingyun Daoren shook his head.

"They are not on the same level."

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Could it be that the experts of our Da Luo Holy Land can't defeat them?"

"It's not that we can't defeat them, but that we are in a passive position. Changsheng, you are now half a Sacred Lord. I should explain some of the Holy Land's foundations to you, so you can better understand the Da Luo Holy Land."

Qingyun Daoren was very serious.

Lu Changsheng also put away his usual playfulness and appeared very serious.

"The Da Luo Holy Land is one of the ten major Holy Lands in Zhongzhou. Its foundation is naturally strong. It has two immortal artifacts, the Da Luo Immortal Sword and the Da Luo Immortal Bell, to suppress the Holy Land's fortune. There are only three Mahayana realm experts. These three are living fossil-level existences. The oldest has lived for 46,000 years, and the youngest has lived for 38,000 years. They are hidden in the Da Luo Immortal Realm."

"If it is not the most critical moment for the sect, they will not appear. They are the Da Luo Holy Land's last strength. Even if my ascension fails, these elders will not come out, because they can only take action once, so they will only take action when the Holy Land is facing life or death."

Qingyun Daoren explained the Da Luo Holy Land's foundations.

Lu Changsheng knew some of this.

The reason why Holy Lands are called Holy Lands is because they have some heaven-defying methods to allow some cultivators who failed to transcend tribulations to become immortals to survive, but this kind of survival is actually no different from death.

Their immortal path has been cut off. They keep a breath just to protect the Holy Land, and when they truly face life or death, they will give up everything and turn the tide.

But there is only one chance.

"There are thirteen Tribulation Transcending Realm experts. This time, when I ascend, they thirteen will also protect me. But if someone really comes to interfere, they will not be able to do anything. And I have also told them that if they really encounter danger, they can die, because leaving behind a legacy is the most important thing."

Qingyun Daoren had a feeling of entrusting his affairs to someone.

Making Lu Changsheng feel a little uneasy.

But thinking about it carefully, it made sense.

If enemies really came, their purpose would be to interfere with your ascension, not to fight you, so even if they were cultivators of the same level, it would be very troublesome.

They wouldn't fight you, just interfere with your ascension, which would be extremely fatal to you.

"In short, I have already solved the enemies that should be solved. Changsheng, since you are the Da Luo Sacred Lord, you must be more calm in the future, be strict when necessary, put the Holy Land first in everything, and sometimes be ruthless, understand?"

Qingyun Daoren was very serious.

"Disciple understands!"

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Then, he took out many elixirs from the Da Luo Ring. These were all treasures left by Langya Xianren. Although he didn't know if they would have any effect, it was still a token of his feelings.

"I don't need these things. I'm not injured, just used some true qi. Okay, Changsheng, go back. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Qingyun Daoren didn't accept the elixirs.

Lu Changsheng glanced at Qingyun Daoren.

He didn't say anything.

Just nodded and left the Da Luo Palace.

At the same time.

In Zhongzhou, in an extremely desolate mountain range.

Hundreds of cultivators gathered here, surrounding an altar, worshiping piously.

However, suddenly, the spiritual energy rioted, and beams of immortal light shot out from the altar.
