The Legend of the Great Saint: Start from the Sign-in at Mount Tai

Chapter 473 Riding the Dragon to Ascend to Heaven and Conquer the Ancient Road

Central Plains, Qishi Mansion!

Qishi Mansion is surrounded by towering cliffs and auspicious beasts soaring through the clouds. Opening one's Heavenly Eye, one can see ten thousand purple dragons coiling around the area where Qishi Mansion is located.

This place is sacred, like a painting, filled with the divine beauty of heaven and earth.

Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past few months, Lu Zhou has been spending time with his Daoist partners.

Today, his Daoist companions, maids, friends, his only disciple Xiaosong, and the round, cuddly creature he adopted on Earth accompanied him to the Qishi Mansion.

Black Emperor, Ji Zi, Monkey, and Yao Yuekong, among others, had all heard that Lu Zhou was preparing to embark on the Trial Road today.

They all came from different places to see Lu Zhou off, without prior arrangement.

When Lu Zhou and his party arrived outside Qi Shi Mansion, they discovered that there were far more people than just his relatives and friends who had come to see him off.

More accurately, there were also quite a few cultivators among them who were just there to join in the fun.

With so many influential figures from all corners of the Northern Dipper gathered at the Qishi Mansion, their journey naturally alarmed many cultivators throughout the Northern Dipper region.

They were all curious, wondering if something big had happened again.
Why are so many powerful figures heading towards the location of Qishi Mansion?

Soon after, the resourceful onlookers found out the truth through various channels.

It turns out that Ba Xian will be heading to Qi Shi Mansion today to begin his legendary trial journey.

"I heard that Ba Xian has already become a saint. I wonder if this rumor is true or false?"

"It must be true!"

"After all, his follower Kane became a saint several years ago!"

"I heard that his other follower, the Golden-Winged Roc King, was also close to becoming a saint not long ago when he entered the Temple of Extraordinary Talents to embark on that trial path."

"Since even Ba Xian's followers are either close to becoming saints or have already become saints, the rumors that Ba Xian has become a saint must be true."

As soon as Lu Zhou and his group arrived outside the Qishi Mansion, they heard a chorus of voices discussing the matter.

Some people are gossiping about some rumors about him recently.

Some people even boasted to newbies about how the legendary immortal had defeated all the geniuses and prodigies of the Five Regions with a single punch right here during his time as a deity!
Some people even greeted Lu Zhou and his group from a distance after they saw them appear.

Yao Yuekong, Xia Yiming, and others, who had arrived a little early to see Lu Zhou off, also smiled and gathered around him, saying things like wishing him a smooth journey and that he would conquer all obstacles along the ancient road.

Inevitably, there were also some wild remarks made by the big black dog or Longma.

Before Lu Zhou could exchange many pleasantries with them...

Having heard the news long ago, the old master of Qishi Mansion, who was waiting outside the mansion to greet Lu Zhou, also came to Lu Zhou and his group with a group of bigwigs from Qishi Mansion.

Behind them followed a number of young talents from the Five Regions who were cultivating at the Qishi Mansion.

Lu Zhou didn't recognize those young talents; he figured they must be the new generation of young people who had grown up in Beidou.

Just like Lu Zhou and the others who entered the Qishi Mansion to cultivate back then, they were all full of vigor and vitality.

Lu Zhou noticed that many of those people looked at him with reverence, as if they were idolizing their idol.

Some bold young girls, brimming with youthful energy, even squeezed through the crowd, shouting Lu Zhou's name and professing their love.
"Hahaha"

Amidst the crowd of onlookers, bursts of good-natured laughter suddenly rang out.

Lu Zhou and his Daoist partners all smiled.

Lu Zhou raised his hand and waved to the group of energetic young men and women.

The old master of Qishi Mansion also laughed heartily at this moment.

"Hahaha"

"Look at him, compared to us old men, he's definitely more popular."

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of pleasant laughs rang out from behind him.

"Old Master, we like you too."

"Yes, old lord, we like you too."

It was the girls who had previously been boldly professing their love to Lu Zhou who were now shouting.

They are so lively and agile, each one with a charming smile and a melodious voice!
The laughter from the audience grew even louder.

After a burst of laughter and commotion, the old manor patted Lu Zhou's beard and smiled.

"You've kept us waiting!"

"If you don't come soon, we're all going to go find you and ask you how long you're going to keep putting it off before you embark on that journey!"

This is absolutely the old lord's honest opinion.

Whether it was him or others, they had always been full of anticipation for Lu Zhou to embark on that path.

In their view, Lu Zhou could have already embarked on that path and continued to hone his skills.

But they waited and waited, for many years, and Lu Zhou never came.

On the contrary, some people related to Lu Zhou have come here one after another over the years and embarked on that path to hone their skills.

Lu Zhou shrugged and smiled.

"I'm just too busy!"

"It would be more appropriate for me to leave after I've taken care of most of my business!"

"After all, even I'm not sure how many years it will be before I return."

As they spoke, they headed towards the Qishi Mansion, personally led by the old mansion lord and others.

On this day, Qishi Mansion made an exception and opened its gates wide, allowing those who had gathered there to join in the fun to also step into Qishi Mansion and witness the moment when Lu Zhou conquered the human race's trial path.

To be precise, the Qishi Mansion, which originally opened only once every ten thousand years, has seen quite a few exceptions in this ten thousand-year cycle.

Looking back, the Qishi Mansion opened once every ten thousand years, and only two or three people in total were qualified to embark on the human race's trial path from among them.

Moreover, after gathering them together, they would be packaged up and sent away all at once. After sending them away, the five-colored altar would not be opened again.

This was clearly mentioned in the original work.

Looking back now, let's examine this life.

Over the years, several batches of people have been sent down that road by the Qishi Mansion.

Now it seems clear that the Qishi Mansion will make an exception just for Lu Zhou and open the five-colored altar.

Perhaps this is another reflection of the arrival of a golden age.

More than twenty years later, Lu Zhou and his companions once again stepped into the Qishi Mansion.

Not much has changed here.

The scenery is still the same.

The people involved have changed a lot.

Some familiar faces may never be seen again.

The path of spiritual cultivation is fraught with difficulties, and throughout history, there have been countless outstanding individuals who perished halfway through their journey.

They followed the old lord and headed straight for the deepest part of the Qishi Mansion.

As he traveled along, seeing some familiar scenes, even Lu Zhou felt a pang of nostalgia.

He remembered that a loose organization called the Overlord Immortal Alliance had once been born here. They wreaked havoc in the ancient immortal world within the Qishi Mansion.

Even now, this loosely organized group still exists; it did not disappear or disband with Lu Zhou's departure.

It is now not only present in Qishifu, but has also spread beyond Qishifu.

The core members of this organization are those who fought alongside Lu Zhou in that ancient immortal world.

Its fresh blood is reserved for a select few heroes and extraordinary talents recognized as the most monstrous in the Qishi Mansion.

In Earth terms, the current Hegemon Alliance has become an alumni mutual aid association.

It is inconspicuous and leak-proof.

Few people have even heard of it.

But only those who are qualified to know of the existence of the Overlord Immortal Alliance truly understand how terrifying it is.

The power it can mobilize is enough to easily wipe out a major religion, an ancient kingdom, or even a great ancient royal family.

During the journey, the old manor lord told Lu Zhou a lot about what he knew about the ancient road of the human race.

It's basically all information passed down through generations in the Qishi Mansion.

This is not some real-time information that is currently happening on the ancient human path.

Lu Zhou, Yan Ruyu, and the others listened quietly.

He was verifying the information he had learned from the original work.

Yan Ruyu and others
Neither Lu Zhou's Daoist partners nor his maids will accompany him on this journey.

But in the future.
According to Yan Ruyu and the others, who knows, one day after they become saints, they might also embark on this path!

"We're here!"

"You can leave it here!"

Before long, they arrived at the deepest part of the Qishi Mansion.

They stopped and looked in the direction the old manor lord was pointing. Ahead was a forbidden area, with dense array patterns intertwined and shrouded in a terrifying chaotic array.

Wisps of chaotic energy swirled around it, containing some profound mysteries about the Nine Secrets Group.

Normally, few people can set foot there, not even some big shots from Qishi Mansion.

The old manor swung his hands, and soon he closed the chaotic killing array in that forbidden area, revealing a secret land to everyone.

Many onlookers following behind craned their necks, using their pupil techniques or magical artifacts to peer into the depths of that secret land.

An ancient and grand five-colored altar, seemingly etched with the marks of time, appeared before everyone's eyes.

It sits deep within that dense land, seemingly unique since time immemorial.

Many cultivators were seeing or even hearing about the Five-Colored Altar for the first time. Their eyes gleamed with excitement, and their faces were filled with curiosity as they examined it closely.

The old manor lord did not explain the idea of ​​the five-colored altar to those curious people.

He simply turned to look at Lu Zhou and asked him with a smile.

"are you ready?"

"Ready? I'm about to activate it."

He meant to ask Lu Zhou whether he should say anything goodbye to the people who came to see him off.

Lu Zhou understood, and he shook his head with a smile.

Yan Ruyu and his Daoist partners didn't say much at this time.

Some things had already been said before coming to Qishi Mansion.

"If that's the case, then go!"

As soon as the old mansion lord finished speaking, he began to activate the altar.

Bagua symbols rose into the air from the five-colored altar, and soon opened a starry gate leading to an unknown destination.

All eyes turned from the star gate to Lu Zhou, who was about to embark on his journey.

He took one last look at everyone who had come to see him off, his face still bearing that calm and composed smile.

Then he turned around and climbed step by step into the sky, heading towards the star gate that had opened on the five-colored altar.

People's eyes were fixed on his tall, straight back.

Sudden.

"Roar!"

A dragon's roar shook the heavens and the earth, resounding in the ears of everyone present.

Along with the dragon's roar came wisps of immense holy power that suddenly spread out.

Then, many onlookers gaped and stared wide-eyed, and even some bigwigs from Qishi Mansion and some of Lu Zhou's friends were stunned.

A dragon suddenly appeared beneath their feet, carrying Lu Zhou as they continued to ascend into the sky, flying towards the star gate.

He stood atop a dragon's head, his white robes billowing and his black hair flying, like a banished immortal ascending to heaven, riding the dragon into the celestial realm, rushing into that star gate, and then disappearing from sight.

That year, Lu Zhou turned sixty-one, having cultivated for over thirty-five years. Before everyone's eyes, he rode a dragon to ascend to the heavens and fought on the ancient road.

Even after many years, this scene is still often remembered and mentioned.

Lu Zhou disappeared, and no one knew how many years it would be before he returned to Beidou.

I wonder what terrifying level he had reached by then?

He left behind various legends about the Overlord Immortal for the cultivators of Beidou and for those who came after him.

It inspires and fascinates those who come after.

Before he left, he did something that suddenly seemed a bit wicked.
Hmm, anyone who truly understands Lu Zhou, such as Yan Ruyu and his Daoist partners, as well as the big black dog and Yao Yuekong, etc.

They all knew that this was Lu Zhou's quirky sense of humor, not that Lu Zhou was showing off.

He no longer needs to use this method to show off or display his superiority.

His wicked humor completely shattered the emptiness that Yan Ruyu and the others felt because of his departure.

"What the hell is that?"

"What did I see?"

"That seems to be a real dragon?"

"Is it a legendary Holy Spirit, or a Holy Spirit in the form of a dragon? A Holy Spirit in the form of a dragon that has already attained sainthood?"

"My God, the Overlord Immortal actually uses a dragon-shaped holy spirit that has already attained sainthood as his mount!"

He rode the Holy Spirit Dragon, battling on the path to heaven.

Hearing the gasps of surprise that gradually rose from the scene after a long while, Lu Zhou's relatives and friends all shook their heads with a slight smile.

They could imagine that in the coming period, the hottest topics in Beidou would all be focused on Lu Zhou's Dragon-Riding Battle Path.

This will definitely become the most talked-about topic among those who enjoy gossip, when they get together, chat over tea, or boast to others.

Lu Zhou left, and not long after, only a few months later, Ye Fan returned from Eternity.

In the following years, Ye Fan, Ji Zi, and Monkey, among others, also embarked on the ancient path to continue honing their skills.
