Chapter 1 Silence in the Great Luo Palace

Inside the Great Luo Palace.

Everyone was silent.

At this moment, Qingyun Daoist couldn't help but speak.

"Changsheng, why must you be so low-key! This of yours is..."

Qingyun Daoist was somewhat annoyed.

Once or twice was fine.

Why was it always like this? He knew he was low-key, but was it necessary to be this low-key?

"That's right, Changsheng, why do you do this?"

"Changsheng, once or twice is fine, but every time it's like this, if you're not annoyed, we are."

"I don't know where you learned this bad habit from."

"We cultivators, since we have embarked on the path of cultivation, are fighting with the heavens and earth. If you fear this and fear that, if you dare not do this and dare not do that, what kind of immortal are you cultivating?"

Inside the Great Luo Palace, the elders sighed.

They weren't really blaming Lu Changsheng, just giving him a simple lecture.

Lu Changsheng really didn't know what to say.

He didn't know which bastard had spread the rumor that he was at the Tribulation Transcension realm when he was only practicing Qi, and now it was even more direct, blowing him up to the Mahayana realm.

Was he even supposed to live?

He would be happy to be the Holy Lord.

But the problem was, had you ever heard of a Nascent Soul realm Holy Lord?

"Master, it's not that I'm being low-key, it's mainly..."

Lu Changsheng found it difficult to say.

"Mainly what?"

Everyone asked curiously.

"Sigh! Forget it, Master, Elders, I'm laying my cards on the table."

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, he decided to come clean.

The reason he hadn't seriously explained before wasn't because Lu Changsheng wanted to show off, but to confuse the enemy and make them afraid.

But things had come to this, and Lu Changsheng had nothing to say, so he might as well just lay his cards on the table.

"Master, Elders, in fact, my current realm is only the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. It's not the Tribulation Transcension realm at all, let alone the Mahayana realm."

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath.

He laid his cards on the table.

No more hiding.

He had originally intended to interact with everyone as an ordinary person, but he didn't expect it to result in estrangement. He was laying his cards on the table!

Lu Changsheng had nothing more to say.

He would just come clean.

After all, he really couldn't handle being the Holy Lord.

The Holy Lord, an existence above all others, wielding true power. Having the strength was one thing, but becoming the Holy Lord without the strength?

That was just courting death.

He was still young and didn't want to die.

However, the hall became silent.

After a long while, everyone sighed, especially Liu Qingfeng's father, who sighed repeatedly.

"Changsheng, Changsheng, in order to avoid becoming the Holy Lord, you actually made up such a lie, trying to deceive us, you really are... alas!"

"Changsheng, even if you don't want to be the Holy Lord, you don't have to make up such a terrible lie, do you?"

"Alas, Changsheng, are you treating us like three-year-olds?"

"I don't mean anything else, Changsheng, if you were really at the Nascent Soul realm, I would die on the spot for you to see."

None of the elders believed him.

Even Qingyun Daoist looked at Lu Changsheng with disappointment.

No one believed what he said.

Not a single person.

"Oh dear, I really am at the Nascent Soul realm, what do I have to do for you to believe me?"

Lu Changsheng was truly speechless.

Why did no one ever believe him when he told the truth? Why did everyone believe him without hesitation when he told a lie?

Was it just because he was handsome?

"Changsheng, it's not like there's no way to test your realm. This is the Great Luo Ancient Bell, a treasure for testing magical power. You must exert all your strength and strike it with a punch. One bell ring represents one level of cultivation. Your master will be here to supervise you. If you don't exert all your strength, then don't blame your master for getting angry."

Qingyun Daoist waved his hand.

In an instant, an ancient bell appeared in front of Lu Changsheng.

This was the Great Luo Ancient Bell, a treasure for testing magical power.

"Is it really effective?"

Lu Changsheng was somewhat curious. He was still worried that his master had tampered with it in order to make him the Holy Lord.

However, Qingyun Daoist gave him a look.

Soon, an elder stepped forward and punched the ancient bell, his magical power surging. Soon, the ancient bell vibrated.

*Dang! Dang! Dang!*

The ancient bell rang nine times in total. This was a Fusion realm elder, and one step further would be the Tribulation Transcension realm.

Another elder came out to test it, and it rang ten times. He was a Tribulation Transcension realm elder.

Then, Qingyun Daoist took action. He punched the ancient bell, and in an instant, the ancient bell rang twelve times.

That's right, twelve times. This meant that Qingyun Daoist was already considered half an immortal, and only needed to undergo the final Tribulation Transcension to truly ascend.

"Changsheng, you try it. If the bell only rings six times, your master will definitely not force you. But if you deceive your master, you will have to be the Holy Lord whether you want to or not, understand?"

Qingyun Daoist 'threatened'.

"Yes." Lu Changsheng nodded.

Then he stood in front of the ancient bell.

He didn't use any Daoist techniques or divine powers, just mobilized the magical power within his body.

Then he concentrated all his strength.

He punched the ancient bell.

*Buzz!*

A muffled sound rang out.

But no bell sound rang.

In the hall, the elders were all curious.

Especially Qingyun Daoist, who held his breath and looked at the Great Luo Ancient Bell.

No bell rang.

This was very strange.

Even Lu Changsheng was a little strange.

Could it be that he didn't have any cultivation? That didn't make sense. He had clearly reached the Nascent Soul realm.

But before Lu Changsheng could think further.

A faint sound rang out.

*Crack! Crack!*

*Crack! Crack!*

Soon, cracks appeared on the Great Luo Ancient Bell, like fissures. In an instant, the entire Great Luo Ancient Bell turned into a pile of broken copper and scrap iron, falling apart.

*Hiss!*

*Hiss!*

*Hiss!*

At this moment, throughout the Great Luo Palace, everyone gasped, including Lu Changsheng. Fortunately, everyone present was a cultivator, otherwise they would have died of oxygen deprivation.

Lu Changsheng was dumbfounded.

He shattered it with one punch?

How could it be so fragile?

He had secretly held back a little bit of strength!

Lu Changsheng was really stunned.

He had never fought before, so he wasn't very clear about his strength. He just compared it based on his realm.

But the current situation left Lu Changsheng dumbfounded.

"*Clang!*" At this moment, Qingyun Daoist stood up. He looked at Lu Changsheng with a serious face and said, "Changsheng, do you still dare to say you're not at the Mahayana realm?"

Qingyun Daoist was serious on the surface, but he was secretly laughing inside.

Mahayana!

His disciple had actually reached the Mahayana realm!

A Mahayana cultivator under the age of twenty was simply unprecedented and unmatched!

Hahaha! Hehehe!

"I... I... okay, actually I've already become an immortal, and I can ascend to the Immortal Realm at any time."

Lu Changsheng wanted to explain a few more words.

But he glanced at the Great Luo Ancient Bell on the ground.

Then he looked at everyone's expressions.

Okay, so no one listens when I tell the truth?

Then I'll just go all the way.

You like to hear lies, right?

Alright, I give up.

As the ancients said, if you can't beat them, join them.

*Hiss!*

Everyone was shocked again.

Yes.

That's right, everyone believed it again.

And they were absolutely certain.

There wasn't a single trace of doubt in their eyes.
