He confessed his love for his master in his later years, and his cheat ability finally arrived.

Kneel down!

kowtow!

Admit your mistake!

Otherwise, get out of the Dao Palace and never again receive the inheritance of the "Shangyun Qinggong" in this lifetime!

quiet!

The entire Taoist palace was deathly silent!

No one expected that being late by just a moment would result in such severe reprimand and punishment from Elder Mu Feng.

As we all know, the spiritual energy that exists between heaven and earth is extremely mixed, and the number of spiritual roots in each cultivator's body is different. Without a powerful cultivation method to regulate and absorb the mixed spiritual energy in the body, cultivation will become extremely difficult, and there is also the risk of exploding the body and dying, or going into demonic possession.

How can a sacred place of immortals become a sacred place of immortals?

Besides possessing the terrifying foundation of an ultimate imperial weapon, which intimidates all invading enemies.

Techniques like the "Shangyun Qinggong," which have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years and involve absorbing and regulating spiritual energy, are what countless low-level cultivators dream of.

In the Xuanhuang Great World, besides the sacred lands of immortals and the endless demon realm, there are countless small sects and factions.

Why didn't imperial relatives like Princess Taiping and Prince Zhenbei choose to join smaller sects with lower entry requirements?

The biggest and most fundamental reason is that these small sects do not have a profound skill like "Shangyun Qinggong" that has been continuously researched and perfected by countless sages over hundreds of thousands of years, so as to lay a solid foundation for cultivation.

Smaller sects naturally have their own methods for regulating and absorbing spiritual energy, but these are relatively simple, risky, and can only be cultivated up to the Golden Core stage or the Spirit King or Spirit Emperor stage.

The cultivation techniques passed down from the sacred lands of immortals can lead directly to the legendary Emperor Realm, and some even contain methods for ascension, making them extremely mysterious.

Elder Mu Feng's use of the "Shangyun Qinggong" as leverage is undoubtedly a way of holding the lifeline of these newly promoted outer disciples in his hands.

"Elder, we were wrong to be late today!"

The atmosphere was tense, and Princess Taiping quickly tugged at Lu Changsheng's sleeve. Finding no reaction, she braced herself and bowed in apology.

"We both promise that we will never...never be late again!"

"We hope the elders will forgive us this time!"

Without the inheritance of the "Shangyun Qinggong", one cannot establish a foundation and thus cannot be promoted to an inner disciple.

Even a proud princess of a nation had to suppress her anger and choose to compromise when faced with Elder Mu Feng's threats.

Lu Changsheng did not apologize, but instead narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Mu Feng, who was making trouble for him.

As far as I can remember, this was the first time I had met this guy, so there was no question of who had offended whom.

But this kid is clearly targeting me. Why is that?

As for the inheritance of "Shangyun Qinggong"?

Using this to scare yourself is utterly ridiculous!

The "Shangyun Qinggong" is indeed an extremely profound and terrifying technique. It can greatly increase the speed at which a cultivator absorbs spiritual energy and regulate the mottled spiritual energy in the body, preventing the cultivator from going into qi deviation. With this complete technique, as long as one has enough talent and opportunity, one can cultivate all the way to the Emperor Realm and become a Great Emperor!

To prevent the secrets from being leaked, or to motivate or control the disciples of the sect, the "Shangyun Qinggong" is never taught to the disciples in its entirety at once.

Instead, it is divided into ten stages: Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Spirit King, and so on.

The knowledge was passed down to the disciples in stages. Even the parts beyond the Golden Core stage were no longer taught for free, but required the disciples to accumulate merit points and exchange them with the sect.

What about Lu Changsheng?

Is he afraid?

What's there to be afraid of!

"Is an apology enough?"

Mu Feng felt a surge of vanity as he looked at Princess Taiping bowing respectfully before him. But when he glanced at Lu Changsheng, whose back was even straighter than his own, he was instantly enraged. His face darkened, and he continued his furious rebuke:

"If apologies were enough, what would be the point of sect laws?"

"Kneel down! Or get out of the Dao Palace! You'll never have another chance to cultivate immortality in this lifetime!"

Lu Changsheng was so angry he laughed. He put his hands behind his back and looked at Mu Feng in front of him with a playful expression.

Although the other party was an elder, he was only in his forties or fifties.

"You want me to apologize to you?"

"I'm over eighty years old this year, and you brat expect me to apologize to you? You dim-witted fool, aren't you afraid of shortening your own lifespan!"

"You...you..."

Mu Feng was so angry that his body trembled. Although he was not as old as Lu Changsheng, he was an elder in terms of status and position!

Princess Taiping was also furious, her face flushed red. As a princess of a country, she had never been mistreated since childhood. She had already apologized today, but the elder was still relentless.

Just as the scene was getting out of control, the Prince of Zhenbei suddenly stood up, then winked obsequiously at Princess Taiping Bai Xue, before bowing to Elder Mu Feng and saying:

"Elder Mu Feng, Princess Taiping and I are good friends. Her lateness today must be because she was bewitched by that old fellow."

"I hope Elder Mu Feng will give me face and spare her this time!"

After saying this, Prince Zhao Ke of Zhenbei smiled confidently, regaining his usual confidence and composure.

He finally showed his strength in front of Princess Taiping. As long as this woman isn't stupid, she will fall in love with him after this!

As expected, the entire audience was shocked when the Prince of Zhenbei uttered these words.

All the newly recruited disciples, including Princess Taiping, looked at Prince Zhao Ke of Zhenbei with admiration, their eyes filled with envy, surprise, and worship.

To expect a sect elder to give me face? Good heavens!

What a great honor and prestige this is!

The Prince of Zhenbei is indeed worthy of his title. He has such connections in a sacred place of cultivation like Shangyun Heavenly Palace. In the future, he will be able to walk sideways in the Outer Immortal Academy!

"In that case, Bai Xue, you shall stay and receive the Daoist teachings of the 'Shangyun Qinggong'!"

Mu Feng snorted coldly, then looked at Lu Changsheng with disdain and spoke sarcastically:

"As for you, you can forget about ever receiving any Daoist teachings in this lifetime!"

"I'm giving you three breaths. If you don't get out of the Dao Palace by then, I'll have to take action!"

Faced with Elder Mu Feng's difficult behavior, Lu Changsheng did not rush to pay attention, but instead looked at Princess Taiping beside him with great interest.

Sensing Lu Changsheng looking at her, Princess Taiping made her decision almost without hesitation. Then, amidst Elder Mu Feng's smug expression, she cupped her hands and replied:

"Elder Mu Feng, I stand with you through thick and thin!"

"If the elders insist on expelling you, I will not stay either."

Faced with the aggressive Elder Mu Feng, Princess Taiping also lost her temper:

"As for the inheritance of the Shangyun Qinggong, if it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist. However, I will report the truth to the Elder Council after this matter is over..."

boom!

Before Princess Taiping could finish speaking, Elder Mufeng waved his hand, and a terrifying gust of wind swept across the entire Dao Palace. The oppressive aura possessed only by Golden Core cultivators permeated the surroundings, causing Princess Taiping and Lu Changsheng to retreat repeatedly.

"Bai Xue, how could you be so foolish!"

"Quickly apologize to the elder! You were just confused for a moment. The elder will surely forgive you for my sake!"

Prince Zhao Ke of Zhenbei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, desperately trying to wink at Princess Taiping:

"Your father is still waiting for you in the capital, so don't act rashly!"

Princess Taiping ignored him and stubbornly stood with Lu Changsheng.

Royal children are trained in political maneuvering from a young age, and are born knowing how to seek advantage and avoid harm.

Reason told her that Zhao Ke was right.

But this time, for some reason, Princess Taiping chose to stand with Lu Changsheng.

This is her true feeling, and has nothing to do with profit!

She believed in her choice!

Once a choice is made, it will never be changed!

Caught in the vortex of power struggles, Princess Taiping knew all too well that those who remained neutral were the ones who truly met a terrible end!

Lu Changsheng was taken aback. Princess Taiping's choice was quite unexpected, but since some choices had already been made, he couldn't remain silent...

"Kneel down!"

"This elder commands you to kneel!"

Mu Feng completely lost his patience, and the pressure he exerted on Lu Changsheng and Princess Taiping became increasingly intense.

Princess Taiping was bent over by the weight, and only by stabbing her flying sword into the ground and half-squatting down could she barely stabilize herself.

Lu Changsheng was also hunched over, but because of the existence of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, most of the pressure exerted on him was absorbed, which allowed him to barely withstand it.

However, the difference between the Qi Refining stage and the Golden Core stage is vast. Given this difference in realms, given enough time, the Devouring Heaven Demon Art will not be able to absorb it all, and Lu Changsheng will also be unable to withstand it.

Not to mention, Mu Feng never actually made a move; he simply used his aura to force the two into a desperate situation.

"You little brat, you have no respect for your elders!"

With a gloomy face, Lu Changsheng immediately deduced the cause and effect based on the reactions of Zhao Ke and Mu Feng.

"..."

Mu Feng was stunned. He was an elder of the Outer Immortal Academy, whose status was extremely noble.

Today, I was actually called a nobody by a newly promoted outer disciple, who was also an old geezer.

Outrageous!

He immediately felt a murderous intent!

"How much bribes did you receive from Zhao Ke to be targeting me so deliberately!"

"Damn it, you little bastard, you deserve to die!"

While pointing his finger at Elder Mu Feng and cursing, Lu Changsheng took out a fireball talisman from his Qiankun bag.

Lu Changsheng's counterattack has begun!

After saying that, he frantically poured his spiritual power into the fireball talisman in his hand. The violent fire-type spiritual power gathered wildly and instantly formed a huge fireball with a diameter of about five meters.

Fireball spell?

Mu Feng laughed wildly. This talisman was only effective against Qi Refining and even Foundation Establishment stage disciples, but he was a Golden Core stage cultivator, so why should he be afraid of this small fireball?

Make your move!

Make your move!

Mu Feng was worried about not having a reason or excuse to kill Lu Changsheng.

But if Lu Changsheng were to attack me, it would be a violation of the sect rules! It would be insubordination!

At that time, he will strike with swift and decisive action, using his Golden Core cultivation to deal with a mere Qi Refining cultivator.

One strike is all it takes to kill!

Afterwards, even the Enforcement Hall couldn't do anything about Mu Feng!

"Senior, don't act impulsively!"

Princess Taiping also realized this and quickly reminded her:

"A moment of patience brings calm, a step back..."

But Lu Changsheng acted as if he hadn't heard, his face full of madness and determination.

To hell with it!

Get out of here, you son of a bitch!

As Mu Feng watched with anticipation, the scorching fireball, manipulated by Lu Changsheng, carried a surging heatwave and hurtled straight toward Mu Feng.

Mu Feng's lips curled into a sinister smile, and he immediately conjured a spiritual energy barrier, reaching out to block.

The moment he shattered the fireball would be the moment Lu Changsheng perished.

Swish!

But the next instant, when the scorching fireball was three palms away from Mu Feng, it suddenly changed direction and shot straight into the sky.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the fireball exploded, completely ripping off and shattering the roof of the entire Dao Palace.

In an instant, dust flew everywhere, explosions rang out incessantly, and rubble fell like raindrops.

Mu Feng was stunned.

Zhao Ke was stunned.

Princess Taiping was dumbfounded.

this......

Did it miss?

Before anyone could react, Lu Changsheng sneered twice, then roared at the shattered roof of the Dao Palace:

"Elder! Second Elder! Third Elder!"

"If you old geezers don't show yourselves soon, I'll slaughter all the new disciples! Let's see how you explain yourselves then!"

After saying that, more than ten fireball talismans suddenly appeared in Lu Changsheng's hand.

Driven by spiritual energy, more than a dozen fireballs appeared out of thin air and then attacked everyone present indiscriminately!

"..."

"..."

Mu Feng was stunned.

Zhao Ke was stunned.

Princess Taiping and everyone else present were stunned.

What a madman!

That old madman!
