Chapter 1 The Burden

"Changsheng, now that things have come to this, you don't need to decline the position of Holy Lord. We have already discussed it. We are not here to negotiate with you, but to inform you. Do you understand?"

Qingyun Daoist spoke with a rare firmness.

"Disciple understands."

Lu Changsheng, already feeling lifeless, had no thoughts. If he was to be the Holy Lord, so be it. Who wouldn't be happy with a promotion and a raise?

"Since that's the case, then you all should go and prepare for the Holy Lord's inauguration ceremony. I have some things to discuss with Changsheng in detail."

Qingyun Daoist said calmly.

"Yes!"

The elders didn't say much, nodded, and left one after another.

Soon, after everyone had left, Qingyun Daoist quickly walked down from his high seat.

He looked at Lu Changsheng with a face full of heartache.

"Changsheng, you've lost weight."

Qingyun Daoist's eyes were filled with heartache, like a worker returning home.

"I haven't lost weight. Master is overthinking it."

Lu Changsheng shook his head.

Qingyun Daoist sighed and said, "Changsheng, don't blame your teacher. I was also forced to do this."

Qingyun Daoist said.

"How could this disciple blame Master!"

Lu Changsheng didn't blame his master, but felt that it was a bit too exaggerated to make him the Holy Lord so early.

"Changsheng, your teacher might ascend in a few days."

However, Qingyun Daoist's next sentence shocked Lu Changsheng.

Ascend?

Seeing Lu Changsheng's surprise, Qingyun Daoist nodded and said, "Actually, your teacher should have ascended years ago. I have been suppressing my realm all this time, but now the time is ripe, and your teacher must undergo the tribulation."

"I see."

Now Lu Changsheng finally understood why his master wanted to pass the position of Holy Lord to him. It turned out he was going to ascend.

This was a good thing.

Can you take me with you?

"Changsheng, you must be the thirty-third generation headmaster of the Da Luo Holy Land, and only you can be qualified for this position. If it were anyone else, I am afraid that the entire Holy Land would not accept it."

"Actually, your teacher still wanted to help you suppress the situation for a while, but recently the world has changed. If we delay for a while, your teacher might not be able to survive the heavenly tribulation."

Qingyun Daoist said calmly.

"Not survive?"

Lu Changsheng was a little surprised. Although he knew that transcending the tribulation was difficult, he didn't expect that even someone as strong as Qingyun Daoist couldn't survive it?

"With the current situation, I have a 90% chance of success, but if I delay any longer, I might not even have 50%. Changsheng, you used the Great Dao Holy Words to revive the spiritual energy of the cultivation world. The spiritual energy of the world is abundant, but similarly, the difficulty of transcending the tribulation has increased."

"So your teacher is also forced to do this. Otherwise, I would naturally be willing to continue guarding for five hundred years. After five hundred years, you will definitely be truly invincible, and there will be no worries."

Qingyun Daoist said this, making Lu Changsheng understand.

"I understand. In that case, disciple hereby congratulates Master in advance on ascending and attaining the Dao."

Lu Changsheng said sincerely.

"Well, these days, stay in the Holy Land and familiarize yourself with your new identity in advance. Your teacher is going out for a while."

Qingyun Daoist spoke.

"Go out?"

Lu Changsheng was a little curious.

"Changsheng, although our Da Luo Holy Land is honored as a Holy Land and looks infinitely glorious on the surface, we have also made many enemies in secret. Your teacher is going out this time to eliminate some potential dangers for the Da Luo Holy Land."

"At least it can guarantee that the Da Luo Holy Land will not have any problems for five hundred years, and five hundred years is enough for you to grow well and cultivate the next Holy Lord. In this way, the Holy Land will not decline so quickly."

Qingyun Daoist was very direct and stated the reason for his departure.

"I understand. Then when will Master ascend?"

Lu Changsheng nodded. He didn't stop him, nor did he say anything more. He was already an adult, and his thoughts wouldn't be so naive, but he asked about the time of ascension.

"Twenty days later, five days after you inherit the position of Holy Lord."

Qingyun Daoist replied.

So soon that Lu Changsheng was indeed not prepared.

But Lu Changsheng didn't say much.

The world had changed drastically, so it was better to ascend earlier to avoid any problems later.

After a while, Qingyun Daoist continued.

"Alright, you are tired this time. Go back and rest well."

"In that case, this disciple will take his leave first."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Since his master was going to ascend, he also needed to study it. In case he really couldn't survive the tribulation, he would have to lend a hand and couldn't just stand by.

After Lu Changsheng left.

Qingyun Daoist sighed.

Then, a fairy sword appeared in his hand. This was the Da Luo Immortal Sword.

He didn't say much, just moved it remotely, and then his figure disappeared, leaving the Da Luo Holy Land.

Obviously, these days, the world would not be peaceful.

If a cultivator who was about to ascend really went on a killing spree, who knows how many people would die, but for the sake of the Da Luo Holy Land's safety, sometimes some things had to be settled.

Whether or not to make enemies didn't matter anymore.

Whether it was a famous and righteous sect.

Or a demonic sect.

No one wanted their inheritance to be cut off.

Some things, some people had to do.

There was no such thing as a peaceful life. It was just that someone was carrying the burden for you.

Lu Changsheng walked out of the Da Luo Palace, looking out over the entire Da Luo Holy Land, his mood slightly fluctuating.

At the same time.

Red Dust Peak.

This was where the outer disciples of the Da Luo Holy Land lived.

At this moment, Red Dust Peak was overcrowded. Not only outer disciples, but also inner disciples, core disciples, and even many true disciples gathered here.

In the crowd.

Wang Fugui was surrounded by everyone.

Everyone was looking at Wang Fugui, and voices sounded.

"Junior Brother Wang, please tell us, what immortal fate did Senior Brother Lu obtain in the Tianyuan Holy Realm?"

"Yes, yes, we will definitely not spread it out. Junior Brother Wang, please tell us."

"Junior Brother Wang, don't you believe us?"

Voices rang out.

Wang Fugui, surrounded by the crowd, was sweating profusely.

Ever since Lu Changsheng left, he had been surrounded by Da Luo disciples.

At first, he thought it was some kind of newcomer welcome program.

But what he didn't expect was that everyone was asking about the Tianyuan Holy Realm.

Wang Fugui was also honest and told the truth.

But the problem was that after he finished speaking, no one believed him.

Everyone thought he was lying. No matter how he explained, no one would believe him.

Later, some inner disciples came to put pressure on him, and Wang Fugui honestly explained.

Then the core disciples came, and finally the true disciples came.

The meaning was to make him tell the truth and not hide anything.

Wang Fugui was a little confused.

What he said was the truth.

"Junior Brother Wang, this is a Yin Yang Jiazi Longevity Pill. After swallowing it, it can increase your lifespan by ten Jiazi. I only have three myself. If you tell the truth, I will give you one of them, how about that?"

A true disciple opened his mouth and even took out a spiritual pill to lure Wang Fugui.

"Senior Brother, what I said is the truth."

Wang Fugui was a little helpless.

He was indeed tempted, but what he said was the truth.

"Oh, Junior Brother Wang, why are you like Liu Qingfeng? Don't hide it."

"Yes, Junior Brother Wang, how about this? This is a top-grade treasure. I am reluctantly parting with it. As long as you tell the truth, I will give it to you, how about that?"

Another true disciple took out a treasure and placed it in front of Wang Fugui.

In an instant, Wang Fugui was silent!

He was indeed tempted.

After a long while, Wang Fugui took a deep breath, wiped his cold sweat, and lowered his voice.

"Then, if I say it, you must not spread it out."

The voice rang out, and in an instant, tens of thousands of eyes straightened.
