Chapter 1 Changqing City

Changqing City wasn't exactly an ancient city, but in the Western Region, it could be considered a decent city.

It was less than 100,000 li away from the Wan Chu Holy Land. If they sped up a bit, they could arrive in about a day.

In fact, with Lu Changsheng's current strength, he could completely reach the Wan Chu Holy Land in a day.

But because he had Liu Qingfeng, this burden, it took them three days to barely reach the Wan Chu Holy Land.

Arriving in Changqing City, Lu Changsheng specially made a bamboo hat, not wanting to cause unnecessary trouble.

Otherwise, just his appearance alone would attract a lot of unnecessary attention.

As for Qingfeng, Lu Changsheng didn't make a hat for him, as he didn't need one.

They were just stopping here for a short rest.

Tianqing Tower.

It was the best restaurant in Changqing City. After three days of continuous travel, it was indeed a bit tiring and boring.

Stopping here to rest, drink some wine, and eat something wasn't bad.

After ordering a few pots of good wine and dozens of delicacies, Lu Changsheng sat in a quiet seat by the window, watching the bustling crowd.

Soon, the dishes were served, along with several pots of fine wine.

Liu Qingfeng was very sensible and directly picked up the wine pot to pour a cup for Lu Changsheng.

This little junior brother, sometimes annoying, was quite considerate at other times.

"Did you hear? The Linglong Holy Maiden's five-thousand-year birthday celebration is inviting Lu Changsheng to the banquet. What do you think that means?"

"No need to say, she must have taken a fancy to Lu Changsheng. Why else would she invite him alone?"

"Alas, I heard that Lu Changsheng is extremely handsome, even more beautiful than a woman. I wonder if it's true."

"Who knows? He's a true dragon, high above. We're just ants in the mud, barely surviving."

"Yes, this Lu Changsheng is indeed a true dragon. He's been cultivating for three years, and rumor has it that he has already reached the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. Not only is he strong, but he is also handsome. It is said that he is like an immortal descending to earth, and he is also known as the Daoist Senior Brother and the Buddha's Disciple. Such a person is a dragon, while we are not even insects."

"Not only that, I heard that in the Langya Secret Realm, many experts joined forces to break through the final level, only to find that the Langya Immortal had carved words on the stone wall, saying, 'Who is the peak at the end of the Immortal Path? Once Changsheng is seen, the Dao becomes empty!' I wonder if it's true or not."

The crowd was in an uproar.

Lu Changsheng was used to it, but Liu Qingfeng couldn't help but wonder, "Why aren't they talking about the divine beast?"

He was very curious. This was the Western Region of the Central Continent. Wasn't it rumored that a divine beast had appeared in the west? That was the big news. Although his senior brother was indeed extraordinary, the divine beast should be more important, right?

"Divine beast? Esteemed guest, you're late."

The waiter who brought the dishes couldn't help but say this after hearing what Liu Qingfeng said.

"What do you mean?"

Liu Qingfeng was a little curious.

"A divine beast did appear in our Western Region, but that was more than ten days ago. Moreover, this divine beast appears and disappears unpredictably. I don't know how many people have come to find the divine beast, but none of them have found it, not even a hair of the divine beast."

"So some people speculate that what appeared in our Western Region wasn't a divine beast, but someone deliberately designed to create a topic and make the Western Region a little more popular. After all, the Western Region is the worst in the Central Continent. It has no land, no people, and nothing."

"And these days, people everywhere in the Western Region are saying that divine beasts have appeared. These guests downstairs are exhausted and completely despaired. Even if a divine beast really appeared, they wouldn't bother with it. Everyone, am I right?"

The waiter said, and when he reached the last sentence, he shouted downwards.

In an instant, all kinds of voices rang out.

"To hell with the divine beast, I'm not participating anymore."

"What kind of bullshit divine beast is it? I guess it's the city lords of the major cities in the West joining forces to fabricate a divine beast lie for the sake of the spirit stones in our pockets. These ten days, I've been running east and west. Not to mention a divine beast, I haven't even seen a spirit beast."

"They also said there was a true dragon, true my ass, I haven't even found a dragon service. The Western Region deserves to be poor."

"I'm putting my words here, don't anyone talk to me about divine beasts. Even if a divine beast is in front of me, I will never be moved. I'm not looking for it anymore, what's the point?"

"Yes, I'm not looking for it anymore. Hurry home and honestly mine my spirit mine. Don't delay me from making money."

Under the restaurant, voices rang out one after another. Many people were indeed annoyed by the divine beast.

Every day they said it was here, it was there, but after going there, there was nothing. How could they not be annoyed?

The crowd's answer made Liu Qingfeng suddenly realize.

"The dishes are ready, esteemed guests, enjoy slowly. If there's anything, just call."

Soon, the waiter spoke, and after saying these words, he went to serve the next table of guests.

"Alas, I thought there really was a divine beast. What a disappointment."

Liu Qingfeng sighed and said this.

"So what if there's a divine beast? You expect it to recognize you as its master?"

Lu Changsheng said calmly.

"It's impossible for it to recognize me as its master, but it will definitely recognize you as its master, Senior Brother Lu."

Liu Qingfeng said firmly.

"Why?"

Lu Changsheng was a little curious.

"Because you're handsome. Since we came down the mountain, Senior Brother has had good luck one after another. First, the Yin-Yang Divine Stone, then the Shumen Sword Mountain, and the immortal sword recognizing you as its master. Isn't it because Senior Brother you're more handsome than me?"

Liu Qingfeng answered this way.

Hiss!

Lu Changsheng was surprised. He didn't expect that Liu Qingfeng had really become much smarter this time he came down the mountain.

Unexpected.

Lu Changsheng sighed. This child has grown up, become smarter, and matured.

But just as Lu Changsheng hadn't had time to finish sighing, suddenly, a loud voice rang out.

"Come out quickly! The divine beast has appeared!"

The voice rang out, and the restaurant instantly became quiet.

Soon...

Bang, bang, bang!

The sound of various tables and chairs colliding rang out. The entire restaurant became quiet in an instant.

Liu Qingfeng was a little dazed.

Weren't they saying they wouldn't look for the divine beast?

"Senior brother, should we go?"

Liu Qingfeng couldn't help but ask.

But Lu Changsheng firmly shook his head and said, "No!"

"Really not going? That's a divine beast."

Liu Qingfeng was a little unwilling.

However, Lu Changsheng still shook his head and said, "There's an idiom called 'destined'. If it's yours, it's yours. If it's not yours, it's not yours. Eat in peace, and set off after you're done eating. Don't cause trouble."

Lu Changsheng didn't have the mind to care about divine beasts or anything else.

Putting aside whether it was real or not, even if it was real, Lu Changsheng didn't think the divine beast would recognize him as its master.

But Liu Qingfeng was still a little unwilling.

"Senior brother, if you don't fight for it, you definitely won't get the divine beast. It's impossible for it to fall from the sky, right?"

Liu Qingfeng said this.

However, the next moment.

Clang!
