Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue’s competition continued through the time it took for three cups of tea to steep, and still, there was no winner.
Now, even the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion Master couldn’t stay calm. With Xia Ningxue’s talents, she ought to be unbeatable in her realm. But Xia Ningxue met a formidable opponent in Lu Changsheng. Lu Changsheng’s Taiqing Wuji Technique was on par with the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art, and with his Innate Spirit Treasure and Innate Taoist Body, plus his cross-training physique, even Xia Ningxue found it exceedingly difficult to fight him. Lu Changsheng seemed to be gaining a subtle upper hand.
The Sect Leaders and Elders of the six Orthodox Sects were all shocked. Originally, the emergence of a monstrous genius like Xia Ningxue who could suppress an era was enough, but then Lu Changsheng appeared, just as extraordinary.
Was it reasonable for one era to produce two peerless geniuses among geniuses?
If you include Li Changye, who is known to be invincible in his realm, that makes three people!!
“Big brother, our junior brother’s talent may be no less than yours. This generation of our six Orthodox Sects will be lively indeed,” the second brother Song Wuchuan remarked with his hands behind his back, sincerely praising Lu Changsheng, who was still fighting Xia Ningxue.
“When the junior brother broke through to the Dao Palace realm, the ‘Purple Aura Coming from the East’ phenomenon was triggered, and I knew then he was extraordinary. But I never expected that within a few years, he would achieve such an understanding. It’s possible that in the future, Lu’s achievements might even surpass yours and mine.”
“Li Changye, you Mount Shu people are really not being fair, hiding such an unparalleled genius. If it weren’t for Fairy Xiao of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion defeating Little Song, he wouldn’t have had the chance to appear. Does Mount Shu intend to hide him forever?” Ye Wen, the leading disciple of the Martial Alliance, came over and complained to Li Changye.
Li Changye could only give a wry smile; he hadn’t anticipated Lu Changsheng being so fierce.
“Continuing like this, I cannot win. It seems I have no choice but to forcibly use the sixth level of the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art.”
“The power of the sixth level of the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art far surpasses the fifth level.”
Xia Ningxue knew that with normal methods, she would not be able to defeat Lu Changsheng, so she steeled her heart, distanced herself from Lu Changsheng, and murmured the mnemonic verse to delve deeper into the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art, forcibly using the sixth level’s cultivation technique she had not yet fully comprehended.
Fairy Xiao Meng’er of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion was able to defeat both Master Mingxin of the Immeasurable Temple and Mount Shu’s second brother Song Wuchuan by cultivating to the sixth level of the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art.
“Disciple, no!”
The Inquiry Immortal Pavilion Master was more familiar with the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art than anyone, and he knew that with Xia Ningxue’s fourth level Dao Palace realm, forcibly entering the mindset of the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art’s sixth level could result in death!
Even if Xia Ningxue had the Lingwa Holy Body, she could not act recklessly like this!
The Inquiry Immortal Pavilion Master naturally wanted to outdo the real person Taiyuan, but not by sacrificing a disciple to win.
Xia Ningxue’s eyes were resolute; she had already taken half a step into the sixth level of the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art!
Xia Ningxue’s momentum was rising sharply, and Lu Changsheng felt as if he were beingwatchedbyapairof cold,celestial eyes,devoid of any emotion high above, eerily close to the “Tao” he saw within the chaos when cultivating the Taiqing Wuji Technique.
The wind howled and clouds surged around Misty Peak; nature’s spiritual energy quickly gathered towards Xia Ningxue, like the eye of a vortex.
Xia Ningxue’s face was pale, sweat pouring down, and her delicate body trembled as if she could barely withstand the backlash from the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art.
The Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art was a forbidden cultivation technique of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, not to be practiced lightly, and in terms of power, it was even more potent than the Taiqing Wuji Technique.
But the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art had a deadly flaw, while the Taiqing Wuji Technique was flawless.
“It looks like I can’t hide my cultivation level any longer.” Seeing Xia Ningxue about to forcibly use the sixth level of the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art, with himself unlikely to withstand it, and Xia Ningxue also facing backlash, Lu Changsheng no longer concealed his real cultivation level. His aura surged, and his realm reached the fifth level of the Dao Palace!
“What?!!”
Most of the Elders from the six Orthodox Sects rose from their seats, shocked to their core!
Lu Changsheng’s true realm was not merely the fourth level of the Dao Palace but the fifth!
To have reached the fifth level of the Dao Palace realm after just over two hundred years of cultivation, there were few among the Elders present who could achieve this!
“Lu’s cultivation is actually at the same level as mine…”
Zhao Wuyan stood there, frozen like a wooden chicken.
Lu Changsheng’s true realm had caught up to his.
“Interesting.”
Li Changye and Song Wuchuan, two outstanding elders of the younger generation from Mount Shu, were also shocked.
All six Sect Leaders were moved.
They originally thought that Lu Changsheng had reached his limit, but to their surprise, Lu Changsheng still had an ace up his sleeve!
“My disciple is so steady it’s maddening.”
Grandmaster Taiyuan sighed deeply.
Lu Changsheng would not easily reveal his true cultivation level unless it was his last resort, a temperament truly rare to find.
However, with Grandmaster Taiyuan’s insight, the steadier one was, the easier it was for them to survive.
“Shrink the Earth to Inches!”
Since Lu Changsheng’s cultivation had reached the fifth layer of the Dao Palace realm, he took a step, closing the distance with Xia Ningxue.
Spiritual energy condensed at his fingertips, and taking advantage of Xia Ningxue’s moment of instability due to the backlash from the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art, Lu Changsheng pointed out with two fingers, striking right at Xia Ningxue’s Qi Sea acupoint.
“Tiangang Acupoint Skills!”
Lu Changsheng used the Heaven Rank minor cultivation technique returned by the system to seal Xia Ningxue’s Qi Sea acupoint and then pointed out several times, sealing a few other acupoints to prevent Xia Ningxue from operating the sixth layer of the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art.
With her acupoints sealed, the vast spiritual energy gathered by Xia Ningxue coUapsed, and the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art fell back to the fifth layer.
In doing so, Xia Ningxue also avoided the terrible consequence of being completely backlashed by the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art.
Xia Ningxue’s forced rise in realm was halted, and despite still being affected and looking lost and disoriented, before losing consciousness, the face imprinted in her vision was the handsome visage of Lu Changsheng.
Xia Ningxue fainted, falling straight down, like a withering flower, and Lu Changsheng, being the closest, had no choice but to catch her.
Embracing a beautiful woman, he felt a warmth and a faint fragrance.
Fairy Xia has lost consciousness, this competition is won by Mount Shu.” Grandmaster Chen knew the victory was decided and thus announced the final result.
“Wow…”
The entire Orthodox Sects were in an uproar, who could have imagined such a result when Xia Ningxue, in her prideful stance as the favored daughter of heaven, was about to win?
Lu Changsheng, in the end, demonstrated the cultivation of the fifth layer of the Dao Palace realm and with an unheard-of acupoint technique, sealed Xia Ningxue’s cultivation, foiling her final strategy.
“Junior Sister!”
Many senior sisters from the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion came crowding around, and Lu Changsheng handed Xia Ningxue back to them.
Even though Xia Ningxue was defeated, she remained a rare cultivation genius unseen in a hundred thousand years and the future pillar of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion.
“Disciple has lived up to expectations.”
Lu Changsheng put away the Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Sword and bowed to Grandmaster Taiyuan, who sat in the principal seat.
All six Sect Leaders cast astonished glances, and the gaze of the Fairy Pavilion Master contained a trace of displeasure.
Lu Changsheng had ruined her opportunity to finally humiliate Grandmaster Taiyuan.
Not only that, the Fairy Pavilion Master’s gaze was complex, as if she was also worried that Lu Changsheng might entice away the highest talent of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, the Holy Maiden.
Surely the Fairy Pavilion Master wouldn’t become furiously embarrassed and later unsheathe her sword to pursue and kill him, right?
