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

ask:

How can you quickly soak a long-dried sponge in water?

Pour a bowl of water, or a basin of water, into this sponge?

wrong!

Big mistake!

There is only one answer.

That would be like throwing the entire sponge into a great river.

Let it inhale completely.

Lu Changsheng felt as if he, like an old sponge, had been thrown into a vast ocean. A torrent of spiritual energy surged in from all directions and completely submerged him in an instant.

These spiritual energies come in colors such as red, blue, gold, yellow, and cyan.

Without a doubt, the spiritual energy of all attributes that exists freely in the world has not undergone any "selection" or "processing" and is extremely mottled.

Logically speaking, with such a massive and mottled amount of spiritual energy entering his body, Lu Changsheng, who was only at the third level of Qi Refining, would surely have exploded and died.

But just as the water and fire elemental energies, and the metal and wood elemental energies within the body became unbalanced and exploded, a devouring force erupted within the body.

call out!

Regardless of the type of spiritual power, it was forcibly tamed in the face of this terrifying devouring power, becoming extremely docile. It no longer had the violent, raging nature of the past, but instead flowed orderly through Lu Changsheng's meridians, and then gathered in his dantian to nourish his body.

"As expected of the Innate Dao Body, one of the Ten Great Sacred Bodies of the Ancient Era, he is naturally close to the Great Dao. When he comprehends cultivation techniques, he can understand a thousand methods at once, and all phenomena return to his heart!"

Looking at Lu Changsheng, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, the Devouring Heaven Cauldron let out a heartfelt sigh:

"The Devouring Heaven Demon Art is one of the most powerful cultivation techniques in the world, vast and extremely difficult to understand. Even the most talented disciples of sects need months or even years to comprehend it, but this old guy..."

"He comprehended the Devouring Heaven Demon Art the instant he obtained it, almost without spending any time!"

"Given time, perhaps this old fellow can truly forge a cauldron body for me, sever causality, and change the fate of all heavens..."

boom!

boom!

Just as the Devouring Heaven Cauldron was shocked by the terror of the Innate Dao Body, the spiritual power within Lu Changsheng's body began to surge again. The spiritual power absorbed into his dantian seemed to have reached a certain limit, and then, as his aura surged repeatedly, his realm broke through once more.

The fourth level of Qi Refining!

Fifth level of Qi Refining!

After breaking through two realms, Lu Changsheng's internal energy and blood also increased significantly. For a cultivator, the satisfaction brought by this kind of cultivation surpasses everything else.

From the start of his cultivation until now, only a few hours have passed, and he has broken through from the first level of Body Refinement to the fifth level of Body Refinement.

Breaking through four realms in succession!

If the geniuses of those sects knew about this cultivation speed, they would all be speechless with astonishment.

"Alright, old man, stop now!"

Seeing that Lu Changsheng, after his breakthrough, was unwilling to open his eyes and was still greedily absorbing the spiritual energy floating in the world, the Devouring Heaven Cauldron had no choice but to interrupt him:

"My cultivation level has stagnated for sixty or seventy years. Now that I have embarked on the path of cultivation again, I must take one step at a time, proceed cautiously, and lay a solid foundation. I must not be impatient for quick success."

After hearing this, Lu Changsheng reluctantly opened his eyes and stood up.

A wave of fear washed over me.

lure!

If it weren't for the reminder from the Devouring Heaven Cauldron, Lu Changsheng would never have been able to stop.

Imagine a person who has been hungry and thirsty for a long time, with a table full of delicious food and wine laid out before them, but they are only allowed to drink one bowl of wine and eat one bowl of rice. This...

How painful!

But if you let him eat and drink whatever he wants, he will eventually die from overeating.

One must proceed gradually, waiting until the body, which has been depleted for decades, has adapted to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth before one can gradually go further and ascend the path to heaven.

The principle is simple, but it's difficult to do without constant reminders from someone.

After all, the satisfaction brought by breaking through cultivation realms is simply too great.

"Kid, what are you planning to do next?"

Seeing that Lu Changsheng had calmed down, the Devouring Heaven Cauldron couldn't help but look at him with more respect.

Knowing how to control one's desires and actually doing so are two completely different things.

After all, he was an old man, and naturally he wasn't as impulsive as a hot-blooded young man.

But from this perspective, getting older isn't entirely without its advantages.

"I think that girl Ji Jiufeng is right. Let's take this opportunity to leave Shangyun Heavenly Palace, and from now on, we can fly freely like birds in the sky and leap like fish in the sea, living a carefree life..."

Before the Devouring Heaven Cauldron could finish speaking, Lu Changsheng stroked his gray beard and interrupted:

"Old Tun, this matter is not urgent, let me think about it."

Seeing this, the Devouring Cauldron transformed into a stream of light once more, disappearing into Lu Changsheng's body and vanishing from sight.

Although the Devouring Heaven Cauldron is powerful, it is a spirit of the artifact. Since it has recognized Lu Changsheng as its master, it will naturally listen to him.

Although Lu Changsheng was already in his seventies or eighties, it was perfectly reasonable for the Devouring Heaven Cauldron to call him "young man."

As a legendary divine artifact, the Devouring Cauldron must have existed in this world for countless ages, witnessing the birth and death of countless stars...

As for whether or not to leave Shangyun Heavenly Palace, Lu Changsheng had his own ideas.

Leaving is naturally a good thing. As Master Ji Jiufeng said, he should marry, have children, and choose a city to live out his days.

But leaving isn't good either...

"Gurgle~ gurgle~"

Before I could make up my mind, my stomach started growling.

Touching his empty stomach, Lu Changsheng pushed open the door and found the sun shining brightly outside.

I had only been cultivating for a short while, but a whole day had passed.

It is true that cultivation knows no time, yet a hundred years have passed in the human world.

No wonder I often heard Master Ji Jiufeng say that once a highly skilled cultivator goes into seclusion, it can take anywhere from a few months to several years, or even decades or centuries...

After making himself a bowl of plain noodles, Lu Changsheng took the bowl and went into the courtyard to enjoy his meal.

Even though he broke through five realms in a single day, he still couldn't abstain from grains. Although he had plenty of Rejuvenation Pills in his Qiankun Bag, one pill could provide his body with the energy it needed for three days.

Lu Changsheng, who traveled from Earth, still prefers the warmth of everyday life.

The warm noodle soup, just one sip, not only fills you up but also washes away the fatigue of the night.

"Hey kid, someone's coming!"

I had only eaten half of the plain noodles when the sound of the Devouring Heaven Cauldron echoed in my mind again.

Lu Changsheng frowned. This Xie Ling'er, can't she ever let anyone have a moment's peace?

To avoid being bothered by this little girl, Lu Changsheng deliberately suggested that he "prefers women with big breasts as his wife," hoping to give her more time to search. Unexpectedly, she found one in just one day.

Lu Changsheng was filled with regret. He should have given more advice. Besides her large breasts, what about her long legs, A4 waist, and stunning beauty...?

"The newcomer is a man, a Nascent Soul level cultivator."

The Devouring Cauldron spoke again, instantly alerting Lu Changsheng.

male?

She's not my junior sister!

Master Ji Jiufeng has just entered the Lesser Immortal Realm, and the Empress Palace is currently without a master. Who will come looking for her at this time?

Even after Ji Jiufeng's departure, the Central Palace still retains many elders holding important positions. For example, the First Elder oversees the Enforcement Hall, responsible for punishing disciples; the Second Elder oversees the Alchemy Room, responsible for refining elixirs and cultivating spiritual herbs; the Third Elder oversees the Magic Treasure Pavilion, responsible for crafting magic treasures and mining various mineral veins; the Fourth Elder oversees the Dao Palace, responsible for teaching and guiding the disciples of the Central Palace; the Fifth Elder oversees the Mission Hall, responsible for issuing sect missions; and the Sixth Elder oversees the Spirit Beast Guard Hall, responsible for raising spirit beasts...

As a "leisurely person" in the central palace, even if something were to happen, it shouldn't come to me.

not good!

This person is definitely after me!

As if he had guessed something, Lu Changsheng's expression changed drastically.

Swish!

Lu Changsheng immediately put down the bowl of noodles in his hand, and then habitually took out a mysterious mask from his Qiankun bag and put it on.

The full-fledged "Senior Brother Xuan Yue" is now online!!

It should be noted that Lu Changsheng has been following his master Ji Jiufeng all these years, and in order to avoid bringing criticism to his master, he has never shown his real name or face.

He gave himself a nice-sounding code name, "Xuan Yue," and never revealed his true face to anyone except his master and junior sister, nor did he ever make a move in front of his disciples and elders.

He always wears a mask whenever he appears.

Because no one has ever seen the true face beneath the mask, and all that is known is that Lu Changsheng calls Xuan Yue "Senior Brother," it makes him even more mysterious.

Similarly, because he had never made a move, no one in the entire Shangyun Heavenly Palace knew anything about the mysterious Senior Brother Xuan Yue's strength, cultivation level, or temperament!

This inadvertently saved Lu Changsheng a lot of trouble.

The mask was covered by a layer of flowing black mist, the texture of which was indistinguishable, but it gleamed with a cold metallic luster, completely concealing Lu Changsheng's face and hair.

The edges are engraved with fine, almost invisible runes, which seem to be alive, constantly flowing and moving, as if they are breathing.

This mask, named the Mask of the Abyss, is of extremely high quality and is incredibly precious.

In addition to possessing extremely strong defensive capabilities, it can also conceal the divine sense probing of all powerhouses below the Spirit Emperor level, making it impossible for them to see its true form or fathom its strength.

It goes without saying that such a treasure was a gift from Master Ji Jiufeng.

The purpose was to keep Lu Changsheng's background a secret and protect his safety.

tread!

tread!

The moment the Mask of the Abyss was put on, a man dressed in a long blue robe with gold patterns embroidered on the hem approached, sword in hand.

This person has high, prominent brow bones, eyes like cold stars, long hair tied up with a jade crown, a face as cold and stern as carved jade, and an aura that is restrained and calm.

At a glance, Lu Changsheng recognized the person.

Ge Qing is a disciple of Qin Fenghua, the Palace Master of the Eastern Palace!

No sooner had Master Ji Jiufeng entered the Lesser Immortal Realm than Ge Qing came looking for him.

Taking advantage of the absence of his junior sister Xie Ling'er, he pushed open the door and entered without announcing himself.

No matter how you look at it, this person is no good!

Of course, compared to the pawns in front of him, the man behind Ge Qing, He Fenghua, the East Palace Master of Shangyuntian Palace, is even more terrifying!

"Eastern Palace, Ge Qing."

As expected, when Ge Qing approached Lu Changsheng and bowed, a slight smile appeared on his lips:

"Greetings, Senior Brother!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ge Qing released his aura instantly, and a pressure from a Nascent Soul cultivator rushed towards him like a raging storm.

boom!

Although Lu Changsheng broke through several realms in succession, he only cultivated for a day.

A cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining is naturally unable to withstand the pressure released by a Nascent Soul cultivator.

No wonder Ji Jiufeng instructed Xie Ling'er to take Lu Changsheng away from Shangyun Heavenly Palace as soon as possible before entering the Little Immortal Realm; she had obviously foreseen this.

What was bound to happen has finally happened.

But with his master Ji Jiufeng and junior sister Xie Ling'er not around, who can protect Lu Changsheng?
