Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Seeing Xia Ningxue Again

“His momentum is still climbing!”

Just when everyone thought that Lu Changsheng’s cultivation would stop after reaching the seventh layer of the Dao Palace realm, elders of the Reincarnation Hall like Destruction Sword, Jue Jian, and the White Bone Demon were once again shocked.

Lu Changsheng’s momentum continued to rise.

Lu Changsheng’s realm was advancing towards the eighth layer of the Dao

Palace!

“isn’t he the last direct disciple of Taiyuan the Sage? How come his cultivation is catching up to Taiyuan’s second disciple, Song Wuchuan!”

“Die!”

In a panic, Jue Jian, before Lu Changsheng could reach the eighth layer of the Dao Palace realm, swung his Blood Sword and with a sky-high blood glow, it struck Lu Changsheng’s Daoist robe!

“Got him!”

“He’s dead without a doubt!”

The elders of the Reincarnation Hall on site, who were already in despair, became ecstatic when Jue Jian’s timely move struck Lu Changsheng with the

Blood Sword.

“Elder Lu!”

“Master!”

The Second Princess of the Xia Kingdom, the State Preceptor, as well as a host of Great Confucians, and the people from Mount Shu, were extremely frightened.

Cultivators dread being struck by an opponent’s treasure.

Although most cultivators have high realms, their physical bodies cannot withstand direct attacks from treasures.

Bang!

The scene Jue Jian had imagined, where the treasure bisected Lu Changsheng, didn’t occur. Instead, Lu Changsheng was knocked back, hitting a stone wall behind him, causing rocks to tumble and dust to fly.

“Cough cough cough, that sword strike really did hurt.

Lu Changsheng climbed out from the pile of rubble, even finding time to pat the dust off his Daoist robe.

The top-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure “Taiyi Daoist Robe” showed a sword mark, yet Lu Changsheng’s body had no bloodstains.

While cultivating the Taiqing Wuji Technique, Lu Changsheng was also practicing the Heaven Rank Body Refinement Method ‘Nine Dragons Refinement Technique,’ conditioning his physical body to toughness. Now that it was beginning to bear fruit, he had managed to take on Jue Jian’s sword strike.

It was as if Lu Changsheng had intentionally allowed Jue Jian to strike him, testing the ferocity of his physical resilience.

A damaged Taiyi Daoist Robe was of no consequence; it was merely an Acquired Spirit Treasure. Should Lu Changsheng wish to reward a disciple with a Daoist robe, he could easily provide one of even higher quality.please visit ” sitestorys(.)c0m ” maybe y0u will enj0y the captivating sh0rt st0ries.

“Are you also a body cultivator?!”

Jue Jian felt a chill down his spine.

Lu Changsheng taking his sword strike without injury was undoubtedly a sign of a body cultivator.

Cultivating the mind and refining the body at the same time should result in exceptionally slow progress. And yet not only had Lu Changsheng started cultivating later than him, but his realm had also caught up to Jue Jian’s.

Was this even human?

“What formidable physical strength. He must have practiced a Heaven Rank Body Refinement Method and used a huge amount of Elixir Pills to repeatedly temper his physique…”

The State Preceptor of Great Xia was horrified.

If he had been struck by the Blood Sword, there’s no way he would have emerged unscathed.

It could only be said that Lu Changsheng’s physical strength was terrifyingly incredible.

“To deal with you, the seventh layer of the Dao Palace is enough.

Lu Changsheng didn’t aim for the eighth layer of the Dao Palace realm but confronted Jue Jian with the cultivation of the seventh layer.

He unleashed the Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Sword, summoning storm and thunder, causing flashes of lightning and peals of thunder within the mountain cavern.

Jue Jian, who had seemed invincible just moments ago, was now utterly crushed by Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng, proficient in both martial and cultivation practices, had accumulated vast hidden strength. In terms of True Qi, physical might, and speed, he completely overwhelmed Jue Jian.

“Looks like Master is more formidable. With that being the case, I can also fight without worries.”

“Feline Pounces on Mouse!”

“Azure Dragon Swishes Its Tail Three Times!”

Lian, holding the Wrathful Flame Spear in both hands, charged into the midst of the Reincarnation Hall disciples and used the Primordial Six Harmonies Spear Technique. His spear moved like a dragon, swift as a gust of wind, successively slaying Reincarnation Hall disciples.

Lian’s Martial King Divine Physique was even more suited to the practice of martial techniques than Lu Changsheng’s, allowing him to trump elders of the same realm from the Reincarnation Hall with martial prowess alone.

“Mountain Suppressing Demon Charm!”

With Lu Changsheng sharing the burden, the State Preceptor of Great Xia regained his composure and concentrated on confronting the Destruction Sword.

The State Preceptor of Great Xia cultivated the way of the Literary Sage and was one of the few individuals with the highest level of cultivation in the Great Xia dynasty. He possessed real talent and profound knowledge, and as he wielded the Acquired Spirit Treasure, every single word sparkled like gems, emitting a golden light on the golden scroll.

Magnificent Righteous Qi transformed into a golden mountain, pressing down on the Destruction Sword, intending to suppress this Demon Chief!

“Immortal Blood Sword!”

The Destruction Sword wielded his sword, engaging in a desperate fight with the State Preceptor of Great Xia. A hundred-foot blood pool was devoured by his Blood Sword, which became the heart of a blood-red vortex, emitting a chilling blood light.

The golden mountain was hindered by the blood-red vortex, unable to descend, and even showed signs of being consumed.

“This Demon Chief is no ordinary foe.”

Sweat beaded on the State Preceptor of Great Xia’s forehead as the continuous use of the Magnificent Righteous Qi was exhausting him greatly.

With the Destruction Sword leveraging the blood pool, the State Preceptor found it hard to eliminate him.

Suddenly, the State Preceptor looked towards the center of the great hall, only to see Elder Jue Jian of the Reincarnation Hall, a seventh-layer Dao Palace entity, pinned to the stone wall by a sword from Lu Changsheng.

The Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Sword pierced through Jue Jian’s heart and into the stone wall, causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear.

“You…”

That’s all Jue Jian managed to say before his eyes rapidly dimmed.

The lightning carried by the Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Sword had already shattered his Zodiac Meridians.

Lu Changsheng didn’t bother listening to his nonsense.

“Such a powerful being as Elder Jue Jian was killed so easily.

“Impossible, this can’t be happening, it’s all fake!”

The faith of many in the Reincarnation Hall crumbled.

Elders Destruction Sword and Jue Jian held high positions in the Reincarnation Hall, as they were direct disciples of the Hall Master of Reincarnation and also possessed cultivation at the seventh layer of Dao Palace.

Si Yan, the Second Princess of Xia Kingdom, was stunned.

She had never imagined that Lu Changsheng’s true cultivation was so terrifying.

For a moment, she doubted whether Lu Changsheng’s real cultivation was indeed only the seventh layer of the Dao Palace.

Now, she regretted even more that she couldn’t become a disciple of Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng pulled out the Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Sword and turned to attack the White Bone Demon.

With only a sixth-layer Dao Palace cultivation, the White Bone Demon was not even as formidable as Destruction Sword and Jue Jian. The puppets he controlled were all annihilated by the Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Sword.

“Don’t come any closer… No!”

Following the vast Sword Qi, the White Bone Demon turned to ash, leaving only his treasure staff to clatter to the ground.

“Only one tricky opponent left now.”

Lu Changsheng wiped the Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Sword with his Daoist robe, tallying up one after another.

Is he a devil?

The Destruction Sword, who was battling spells with the State Preceptor, fell into despair.

Lu Changsheng was dealing with Reincarnation Hall elders one by one, as if it were a trivial matter. This sense of oppression plunged the seventh-layer Dao Palace cultivation Destruction Sword into a cycle of despair…

“Break!”

Accompanied by an earth-shaking boom, the Dragon Severing Stone was blasted open by talismans, and dozens of figures attacked the Reincarnation Hall stronghold, led by a woman of clear eyes and white teeth, flawless and carrying a longsword on her back.

This team was comprised of both men and women, but mostly women.

When they infiltrated the interior of the Reincarnation Hall stronghold, they found it had been flattened, strewn with corpses of the Reincarnation Hall. High-ranking members of the Reincarnation Hall like Destruction Sword, Jue Jian, and the White Bone Demon were all executed.

“People from Mount Shu?”

The newcomers from Inquiry Immortal Pavilion noticed the people from Mount Shu and Great Xia, all bearing more or less bloodstains. Clearly, this stronghold of the Reincarnation Hall had been utterly razed by Mount Shu and Great Xia.

A Daoist clad in Daoist robe, with the air of a celestial being and a handsome appearance, was in the midst of cleaning his cherished longsword.

“Xia Ningxue?”

Lu Changsheng turned to the incoming crowd, which actually consisted of elders and disciples from Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, led by none other than Xia Ningxue, who had dueled with him three years ago.
