Chapter 186: Chapter 186: The Legacy of Fairy Qingxia, Return of Sword Dao Comprehension (2nd Update)

Daoist Taiqing, Li Changye, and other Supreme Elders were startled by the Sect Leader’s shock and turned to look at Lu Changsheng in unison.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng was like receiving sudden enlightenment, comprehending everything, and unexpectedly without taking even a moment’s rest, he began to cultivate the fifth level of the Primordial Sword Scripture.

The fifth level of the Primordial Sword Scripture is much more difficult compared to the fourth level.

Lu Changsheng had just mastered the fourth level, yet he directly started cultivating the fifth level, making progress at an incredible speed as if he were not hindered in the slightest.

“Taiyuan, what kind of monster exactly is your disciple?”

Even the Sect Leader, with his vast experience, was shocked as he looked towards Daoist Taiyuan.

He estimated that with his own guidance, Lu Changsheng would only need one year to master the fifth level of the Primordial Sword Scripture.

However, Lu Changsheng’s current performance had completely astounded him.

Lu Changsheng actually wanted to master the fourth and fifth levels of the Primordial Sword Scripture in one go.

Lu Changsheng seemed to have an epiphany all of a sudden, making rapid progress in his comprehension of the Sword Dao each day.

The Sect Leader had never seen such a monstrous genius, not even his senior brother, the previous Sect Leader of Mount Shu, had demonstrated such extraordinary talent.

Daoist Taiyuan could only offer a wry smile, “I don’t know either. Ever since the Ancestral Master appeared in my dream, this disciple’s cultivation has soared rapidly.”

Taking a deep breath, the Sect Leader said, “This boy is very likely to become the second Ancestral Master of Mount Shu.”

“The second Ancestral Master…”

The Supreme Elders of Mount Shu exchanged looks with each other.

The Sect Leader held Lu in very high esteem.

In the history of Mount Shu’s twenty-seven Sect Leaders, some failed their tribulation, others ascended to the Immortal Realm, but the universally recognized number one was Daoist Taiqing, the founder of Mount Shu.

It is said that even the hanging mountain of Mount Shu was a Cave Heaven Blessed Land created by the Ancestral Master through his supreme divine skills.

Following the Ancestral Master, the twenty-six Sect Leaders of Mount Shu were all peerless geniuses of their respective eras, yet none dared to compare themselves to the Ancestral Master.

Now, the Sect Leader believed that Lu Changsheng might become the second Ancestral Master of Mount Shu.

“It seems that Lu bears the heavy responsibility, but I, Li Changye, must not stagnate either.”

Li Changye reaffirmed his commitment to his quest for the Dao.

“I truly look forward to the day our Mount Shu sees the rise of the second Ancestral Master. To be able to witness the growth of a genius akin to the Ancestral Master with my own eyes, I would consider my life to be without regrets.”

Daoist Taiyuan’s sister, leaning on her wooden staff, couldn’t help but look forward to the day Lu Changsheng would ascend to the Immortal Realm.

The Ancestral Master of Mount Shu was a great figure from hundreds of thousands of years ago, whom they might not be able to meet, yet now, Lu Changsheng’s talent had been judged by the Sect Leader to be close to that of the Ancestral Master, and they could witness the growth of someone like the Ancestral Master firsthand.

“No one should disturb him while he is cultivating the fifth level of the Primordial Sword Scripture.”

Thinking that Lu Changsheng had an unexpected epiphany, the Sect Leader instructed everyone not to disturb him, allowing Lu Changsheng to immerse himself in his cultivation.

It just so happened that everyone was observing the sword intent of the thousand sword walls, so they could just let Lu Changsheng cultivate on the side.

Merely three days later, after mastering the fourth level of the Primordial Sword Scripture, Lu Changsheng had actually cultivated the fifth level as well.

“Only three days? This epiphany has greatly benefited him. No… he’s even going to cultivate the sixth level!”

The Sect Leader initially thought that Lu Changsheng’s sudden epiphany had allowed him to quickly master the fifth level of the Primordial Sword Scripture and that the epiphany should have come to an end, but Lu Changsheng was planning to continue onto the sixth level.

“What kind of Sword Dao genius is this…”

The Sect Leader’s uncle’s forehead was covered in sweat, as Lu Changsheng’s pace of cultivation, going from the fourth to the sixth level in one breath, was unprecedented.

You must know, Lu Changsheng was cultivating an immortal-ranked sword technique.

Daoist Taiqing rubbed his temples with a headache, starting to question life itself.

Lu Changsheng, this disciple’s rate of cultivation had overturned his understanding of the normal speed for a cultivator. If one were to measure by Lu Changsheng’s pace, the cultivation speeds of the other disciples would all seem far too slow.

However, Lu Changsheng hadn’t had a sudden epiphany, but instead, the dual cultivation system had unexpectedly returned a vast amount of Sword Dao comprehension. Lu Changsheng’s understanding of the Sword Dao had deepened, which naturally led to the successive cultivation of the fifth and sixth levels of the Primordial Sword Scripture.

In the eyes of the oblivious Sect Leader’s uncle and Daoist Taiqing, Lu Changsheng appeared like a Sword Dao genius who had an epiphany, with a cultivation speed that was shockingly fast.

Seven days passed, and Lu Changsheng had fully comprehended the sixth level of the Primordial Sword Scripture.

“It seems I can also comprehend the seventh level.”

Lu Changsheng continued to cultivate the sword technique, seizing the rare opportunity.

“He’s beginning to cultivate the seventh level.”

“Is this what they call a sudden Path Comprehension?”

“Truly inconceivable.”

“I’ve lived all my life, and finally, I am fortunate to witness a scene of sudden Path Comprehension.”

The Sect Leader’s uncle, Daoist Taiqing, the Peak Master of Chao Yuan Peak, and other Mount Shu powerhouses, were no longer caring about their own cultivation. They all wanted to know whether Lu Changsheng could continue to push forward and cultivate from the fourth to the seventh level of the Primordial Sword Scripture within a month.

Fifteen days passed, and Lu Changsheng finally stopped cultivating.

Lu Changsheng had completely comprehended the seventh level of the Primordial Sword Scripture.

Lu Changsheng felt he could continue to cultivate, but his cultivation realm was not able to unleash the full power of the eighth level of the Primordial Sword Scripture, so he temporarily stopped cultivating the sword technique.

“What exactly is Xia Ningxue doing? Why did the Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills suddenly return a large amount of Sword Dao Comprehension?”

Unbeknownst to Lu Changsheng, Xia Ningxue had entered the ancient cave in the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion and received the inheritance of Fairy Qingxia.

Fairy Qingxia was a Spirit Sword Physique Great Accomplishment achiever. Her legacy contained the Sword Dao comprehension before her ascension, and the part of the Sword Dao comprehension returned by the dual cultivation system had already benefitted Lu Changsheng enormously.

It seems that he didn’t choose the wrong person for dual cultivation. Xia Ningxue’s cultivation and comprehension, bolstered by the entire Inquiry Immortal Pavilion’s support, made Lu Changsheng’s cultivation speed even faster.

“Elder great-uncle, master, and all other elders, what are you doing?”

Upon stopping his cultivation, Lu Changsheng noticed the Sect Leader’s uncle, Daoist Taiqing, Peak Master of Chao Yuan Peak, and others watching him, looking at him as if they were seeing a monster.

Daoist Taiqing said, “Ahem, Changsheng, did you just enter a state of epiphany?”

Without a second thought, Lu Changsheng nodded, “Hmm.”

Lu Changsheng did not want others to know about his dual cultivation technique and conveniently used the epiphany as an excuse.

“Your cultivation realm can’t keep up with your comprehension in the Sword Dao. You should go back and cultivate further. Once your realm has improved, I will instruct you on sword technique. It so happens that as I was guiding your cultivation of the Primordial Sword Scripture, I gained some inspiration from the ancient sword arts and need to enter seclusion for a while.”

The Sect Leader’s uncle knew that Lu Changsheng’s cultivation was not yet sufficient to cultivate the eighth level of the Primordial Sword Scripture.

For one’s cultivation to not keep up with their Sword Dao comprehension was an extremely rare situation.

“Yes.”

Lu Changsheng was secretly astonished; it was no wonder the Sect Leader’s uncle was a Sword Dao genius. Without cultivating the Primordial Sword Scripture, he could still give pointers and even gain inspiration from it. No wonder he could break through the Void Refinement Realm.

Now that Lu Changsheng was going back to Qingyun Peak to cultivate, he could also train his disciples again.
