Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Temporarily Seeking Buddha's Feet? The Shock of the Mount Shu Group (3rd Update)
"Now that I have stepped into the ninth level of the Void Refinement Realm and achieved Great Perfection in the Taiqing Wuji Technique, I wonder if I am a match for the Demon Lord?"
In these ten years, Lu Changsheng had not only cultivated the tenth level of the Taiqing Wuji Technique but also persisted in teaching his disciples while cultivating skills such as the "Golden Bell Shield," "Hundredfold Desolate Force," "Grand Thousand Sword Formation," and "Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills."
Lu Changsheng\'s cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Void Refinement Realm, only a step away from the Unity Realm.
The Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills had also been cultivated to the Eight Revolutions Demonic Body.
"With the Demon Lord\'s attack, I don\'t have time to wait until I reach the Unity Realm."
Lu Changsheng stepped out of his cave abode.
"Master, have you exited your seclusion?"
Lin Qingzhi, Mo Huazhi, Shen Xiaoyao, Ji Xuan, and several other disciples saw Lu Changsheng leave his seclusion and hurriedly gathered.
"Yes. Your teacher is going to the main hall; you all continue to cultivate at Qingyun Peak."
With a thought from Lu Changsheng, the longsword at his back unsheathed, and he headed for the Mount Shu main hall.
Boom!
Mount Shu experienced another tremor as the Demon Lord\'s magical treasure pressed down again, aiming to destroy Mount Shu\'s defensive barrier.
The people of Mount Shu, under the Sect Leader\'s arrangements, took turns pouring massive amounts of True Qi into the Mount Shu formation to continually stabilize the barrier.
"Elder Lu is here!"
"Lu, you\'ve finally exited your seclusion!"
The people of Mount Shu were overjoyed to see Lu Changsheng\'s arrival.
Lu Changsheng was one of Mount Shu\'s trump cards!
Lu Changsheng surveyed the Mount Shu Elders present, who were more or less all bearing wounds.
The situation at Mount Shu was even more difficult than he had imagined.
Seeing Lu Changsheng appear, Situ Kong and the Sect Leader\'s uncle showed a hint of joy, though their worry remained apparent.
"Longevity, although your cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Void Refinement Realm, the Demon Lord has come back to life twice in a row and even I am not an opponent... Unless you reach the Unity Realm, you might have a chance to defeat the Demon Lord,"
The Sect Leader\'s uncle, after sensing the improvement in Lu Changsheng\'s cultivation, realized that the Demon Lord\'s cultivation had reached an inconceivable level after their encounter.
The Demon Lord also had the ancient cauldron magical treasure, bold enough to attack even the Great Formation of Mount Shu.
Taiyuan, in a deep and earnest tone, said, "Longevity, your master and uncle have a plan. If the Demon Lord breaks through the barrier, your master and uncle will hold off the Demon Lord while you lead the Qingyun Peak disciples out of Mount Shu, out of Xia State to cultivate in other regions, preserving a seed of hope for Mount Shu.
Once you\'ve reached your full potential, you can rebuild Mount Shu and avenge us."
"This might be the only way," added the Sect Leader\'s uncle. "With the talents at Qingyun Peak, once your cultivation reaches full potential, defeating the Demon Lord is just a matter of time."
"We old fellows, no matter how long we\'ve cultivated, cannot surpass the Demon Lord. Only Qingyun Peak is the future of Mount Shu."
"Next, we old fellows will hold off the Demon Lord while you use Earth Escape charms to seek refuge in Luzhou to the east."
The Supreme Elders of Mount Shu all spoke up, planning to cover the escape of the Qingyun Peak master and disciples to another region for refuge.
"Cough cough, Elders, we are not in a hopeless situation,"
Lu Changsheng noticed the pervasive atmosphere of pessimism among the Elders of Mount Shu.
Why did the Mount Shu Elders act as if Mount Shu was on the brink of extinction?
He hadn\'t even made his move yet.
"Here are the ninth-grade Immortal Pills \'Dragon Blood Returning Yuan Pill\' taught to me by the Ancestral Master in a dream, which can be used to recover all True Qi in a short period. There\'s also the ninth-grade Immortal Pill \'Heavenly Fragrance Life Renewal Pill,\' which can quickly heal injuries and is a sacred medicine for healing wounds,"
Lu Changsheng took out several sacred healing medicines and handed them to Situ Kong and Taiyuan.
Ten years of mentoring, and Lu Changsheng had accumulated quite a number of ninth-grade Immortal Pills, readily gifting them away.
"Dragon Blood Returning Yuan Pill!"
"Heavenly Fragrance Life Renewal Pill!"
Even individuals such as Situ Kong and Taiyuan Real Person, upon receiving ninth-grade Immortal Pills, displayed extraordinarily shocked expressions.
These were ninth-grade Immortal Pills!
Lu Changsheng casually handed out several healing saintly medicines!
Moreover, the Heavenly Fragrance Life Renewal Pills were precisely what the injured Sect Leader Uncle and Taiyuan Real Person currently needed the most.
With these several Immortal Pills, Sect Leader Uncle and Taiyuan Real Person might not be immediately back to full health, but at least they wouldn\'t be without the strength to fight back.
Situ Kong opened the Purple Gold Bagua Gourd, the fragrance of the Heavenly Fragrance Life Renewal Pill wafted out, making his pores relax.
This was genuinely a ninth-grade Immortal Pill.
"This is the tenth chapter that I have written based on the Supreme Purity Limitless Technique taught by the Ancestral Master, a lower-grade celestial cultivation technique. I have mastered the tenth level of the Taiqing Wuji Technique. From now on, this tenth chapter, along with the previous nine, will serve as Mount Shu\'s sect-defending skills."
Lu Changsheng took out a scroll of the cultivation technique, which was the copy of the tenth chapter of the Supreme Purity Limitless Technique that he had Lin Qingzhi transcribe.
Lu Changsheng had achieved Great Perfection in the Taiqing Wuji Technique, thus he entrusted the tenth level\'s cultivation technique to Mount Shu as a legacy of their sect.
"Supreme Purity Limitless Technique\'s tenth chapter!"
"Generation after generation, Sect Leaders have dreamed of perfecting the cultivation technique left by the Ancestral Master, yet no one was able to perfectly create the tenth level of the Taiqing Wuji Technique. Who would have thought that one day, our Mount Shu would actually obtain the tenth level technique!"
The Supreme Elders of Mount Shu were even more astonished than when they saw the ninth-grade Immortal Pills.
Their highest achievement was merely reaching the ninth level of the Taiqing Wuji Technique, but practicing the tenth level technique could help Supreme Elders at the ninth layer of the Void Refinement Realm to take the final step.
"When the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, Martial Alliance, Immeasurable Temple, and Hidden Dragon Temple arrive, we will still have the power to fight one last battle."
Lu Changsheng\'s words reignited the fighting spirit of the Mount Shu elders.
Once the reinforcements from the four major sects arrived, the decisive battle with the Demon Lord\'s outcome remained uncertain.
"Master, how much longer can Mount Shu\'s barrier hold?"
Lu Changsheng planned to refine into the Nine Revolutions Divine Body before the decisive battle with the Demon Lord.
Over ten years, Lu Changsheng had used various high-grade elixirs for body tempering, even sparing no expense in using ninth-grade Immortal Pills to create Body Tempering Elixirs. Now he possessed an Eight Revolutions Demonic Body, only one step away from the Nine Revolutions Divine Body.
Taiyuan Real Person calculated, "It should hold for another five days."
"Five days\' time should be enough."
Lu Changsheng had the mid-grade Immortal Artifact, Golden Crow Divine Furnace, which could quickly produce Body Refinement Elixirs.
At worst Lu Changsheng could forcibly consume the medicinal power of these Body Refinement Elixirs; his Innate Taoist Body should be able to withstand it.
"What do you plan to do?"
"Disciple plans to cram at the last minute and master a divine skill."
"..."
Taiyuan Real Person looked incredulously at this disciple who repeatedly defied expectations.
With a great enemy at hand, Lu Changsheng was still able to remain calm and execute a last-minute effort.
"With the aid of your Immortal Pills, I and your Sect Leader Uncle should be able to maintain the formation for five days. By then, when the four major sects arrive and you come out of seclusion, we will fight a decisive battle to the death with the Demon Lord. Go back and focus on your cultivation."
Taiyuan Real Person agreed to Lu Changsheng\'s plan.
Lu Changsheng returned to Qingyun Peak, summoned the Golden Crow Divine Furnace, and eighth and ninth-grade elixir pills were dumped into the Golden Crow Divine Furnace like dumplings.
