A Single Sword Cleaves Three Martial Ancestors! Lu Changsheng Steps Forward!

Silence! The entire void fell dead silent. Gaze after gaze turned toward Lu Changsheng. "Is that... the Eight-Armed Ancestor?" "Yes, it's him! The Eight-Armed Ancestor is the progenitor of the Eight-Armed Clan, possessing strength that is terrifying even among those in the Ancestor Realm. Worse yet, he has a violent temper and cares nothing for his status—he'll slaughter juniors over the slightest disagreement. He's one of the most dreaded Ancestor Realm figures in the Boundary Sea." "The other man, though, is completely unfamiliar. Who is he?" "Just now, it looked like he was expelled from the Kunwu World. He must have been one of the Limit Realm cultivators who entered earlier. Being cast out now probably means he obtained a fortuitous encounter and advanced to the Sovereign Realm." "Talk about terrible luck, running straight into the Eight-Armed Ancestor the moment he returned to the Boundary Sea. One misstep and his life is forfeit!" Many in the area clearly recognized the Eight-Armed Ancestor. Their expressions were exceptionally grim. They could not help but feel pity for this unknown expert. Crossing paths with the Eight-Armed Ancestor left one with nothing to blame but misfortune. The only option was to flatter and appease him; under no circumstances could he be provoked. Once the Eight-Armed Ancestor grew displeased, everyone nearby was doomed. "Hmm?" "Are you speaking to me?" Lu Changsheng frowned. He looked up. In that brief instant just now, Lu Changsheng had returned from the Kunwu World to the Boundary Sea. Immediately after, he received the memories of his avatars stationed in the Boundary Sea. It was a vast flood of recollection, accompanied by all manner of insights gained from refining martial dao fragments. Lu Changsheng had left several avatars in the Boundary Sea, and they had spent their time refining martial dao fragments. Of course, securing martial dao fragments was no simple matter, particularly after Lu Changsheng had already swept through and claimed so many before. Martial dao fragments were exceedingly scarce now. Moreover, the quantity acquired each year was never fixed. Yet on average, over these roughly eleven years, he had gained five hundred thousand comprehension points every year. Eleven years amounted to 5.5 million comprehension points. While inside the Kunwu World, he had been severed from the Boundary Sea. Lu Changsheng had been unable to contact his avatars in the Boundary Sea, and naturally had not been able to use them to boost his comprehension. Now that he had returned, roughly eleven years of accumulation and insights merged into him in an instant. At the same time, his various insights regarding the Mortal Immortal inside the Kunwu World flowed into his Boundary Sea avatars. With these additional points, his comprehension surpassed sixty-eight million. Though still some distance from one hundred million, it was within reach. Just as Lu Changsheng was immersed in the merging memories and insights, about to pull up his attribute panel, he sensed a terrifying aura that jolted him awake. It was the aura of the Ancestor Realm! That was what had led to the scene before him. Lu Changsheng raised his head and looked at the Eight-Armed Ancestor. He felt rather annoyed. No one enjoyed being rudely snapped out of deep contemplation. Yet Lu Changsheng's attitude instantly stoked the Eight-Armed Ancestor's fury. The ancestor was naturally short-tempered. How many powerhouses had the Eight-Armed Clan sent into the Kunwu World? And what was the result? Not a single one had returned, let alone scouted any opportunities for him. Seeing Lu Changsheng emerge now, seemingly having gained a tremendous opportunity, already left him bitter and sour. And yet, this junior dared to question him? "Hah! What clan's whelp are you, to dare question this seat?" "You answer what this seat asks! Otherwise, even your ancestor might not be able to save you!" The Eight-Armed Ancestor sneered. He was well aware that anyone capable of entering the Kunwu World had to possess a background backed by Ancestor Realm forces. But so what? Would he fear other Ancestor Realm factions? The Eight-Armed Ancestor was not alone! "Eight-Armed Ancestor! Do you take my Immortal Martial World for a place with no one left?" Right then, a grand voice rolled across the void. A Martial Ancestor! And it was none other than Martial Ancestor Jidao! The undisputed number-one Ancestor Realm figure of the Immortal Martial World! The three Martial Ancestors had always kept close watch over the Kunwu World, taking turns guarding its perimeter. They did so precisely to prevent disaster. After all, the Boundary Sea was a place where the strong preyed upon the weak. The three Martial Ancestors of the Immortal Martial World had annexed countless races and worlds over the eras. If one of their people returned from the Kunwu World after obtaining a great opportunity without an Ancestor Realm protector present, it would be perilous in the extreme. Many Ancestor Realm figures cared nothing for decorum. They had no qualms about bullying the weak. If their own juniors or subordinates failed to gain fortuitous encounters, they would simply plunder those who had. "Hmm?" "Jidao Ancestor of the Immortal Martial World!" "To think someone from your Immortal Martial World finally managed to return from the Kunwu World with a stroke of luck." "This seat merely wished to inquire about the upheaval in the Kunwu World. Word has come out recently that major disruptions have occurred inside." The Eight-Armed Ancestor was usually arrogant and deferential to no one, but seeing Jidao Ancestor brought a measure of caution. Jidao Ancestor was not someone to cross lightly! Or rather, none of the three ancestors of the Immortal Martial World were easy targets! While the Immortal Martial World was not among the supreme factions of the Boundary Sea, its foundation was formidable. The three Martial Ancestors possessed immense might, each having high-tier Ancestor Realm combat prowess. Martial Ancestor Jidao, in particular, was on the verge of reaching top-tier Ancestor Realm strength! Moreover, the Immortal Martial World possessed numerous Mahayana cultivators. Though individual Mahayana practitioners had only ordinary Ancestor Realm combat power, it was said that their combined formations could match high-tier Ancestor Realm might. As a result, the Immortal Martial World held considerable renown, by no means inferior to the Eight-Armed Clan. In terms of comprehensive strength, the Immortal Martial World was visibly stronger! The only complication was that the Eight-Armed Ancestor was on good terms with several powerful Ancestor Realm beings, including top-tier ones. That made things delicate. Otherwise, why would Martial Ancestor Jidao bother wasting words with him? He would have struck immediately. Even so, Martial Ancestor Jidao had already sent word to the other two Martial Ancestors, urging them to rush to the Kunwu World as fast as possible to prevent unforeseen developments. With a single stride, Martial Ancestor Jidao appeared in front of Lu Changsheng, shielding him behind his back. His eyes were cold as he looked at the Eight-Armed Ancestor and spoke flatly. "Eight-Armed Ancestor, Lu Changsheng is not the only person who has left the Kunwu World recently. You are welcome to seek out others for answers. "I am taking my man back to the Immortal Martial World. Until next time!" Without lingering, Jidao Ancestor took Lu Changsheng and immediately departed the void near the Kunwu World. The Eight-Armed Ancestor narrowed his eyes slightly. In the end, he did not pursue, turning and heading in the opposite direction. The onlookers had anticipated an earth-shattering clash between Ancestor Realm masters, only to see it dissolve into nothing. Disappointed, the crowd dispersed as well. Disputes like this were all too common in the Boundary Sea. Peace was non-existent here. Had Jidao Ancestor arrived late or proved weak, the Eight-Armed Ancestor would almost certainly have struck. After all, the Eight-Armed Ancestor was very close to top-tier Ancestor Realm strength, standing near the very peak of high-tier Ancestors. Even Jidao Ancestor had no guarantee of victory. *Whoosh.* Jidao Ancestor flew at great speed. Escorting Lu Changsheng, he traveled a long way, putting vast distance between them and the Kunwu World, before finally slowing down. "Phew..." Jidao Ancestor let out a long breath. "We're finally clear of the Kunwu World, and the Eight-Armed Ancestor didn't follow... "That Eight-Armed Ancestor is troublesome..." Jidao Ancestor shook his head, relieved. Though he had appeared unyielding moments ago, he had harbored deep apprehension toward the Eight-Armed Ancestor. "Martial Ancestor, are you truly that wary of the Eight-Armed Ancestor?" Lu Changsheng asked. In truth, even if Martial Ancestor Jidao had not arrived, Lu Changsheng would not have feared the Eight-Armed Ancestor. Yet since the Martial Ancestor had shown up, there had been no need for him to intervene. Martial Ancestor Jidao glanced at Lu Changsheng, then shook his head. "Lu Changsheng, you don't understand. If it were only the Eight-Armed Ancestor alone, our Immortal Martial Palace could handle him easily enough. "However, he is not alone. "Backing him is a top-tier Ancestor Realm expert. Such beings are capable of annihilating high-tier Ancestors. Unless driven to absolute desperation, our Immortal Martial Palace does not dare offend someone of that stature. "This time, the Eight-Armed Ancestor likely just happened upon you as you exited the Kunwu World—pure coincidence. Fortunately, I arrived in time, giving him pause so that a fight never broke out." Lu Changsheng grew thoughtful and inquired about the divisions within the Ancestor Realm. It turned out that in the Boundary Sea, the Ancestor Realm was divided by combat prowess: ordinary Ancestors, high-tier Ancestors, top-tier Ancestors, and supreme Ancestors! This classification was purely based on combat power. In terms of cultivation realm, everyone was an Ancestor; there was no fundamental disparity between them. Yet for an Ancestor to enhance their strength was difficult beyond measure. Why were the three Martial Ancestors able to hold down the Mahayana cultivators within the Immortal Martial Palace, even though the Mahayana cultivators were more numerous? It was because the three Martial Ancestors possessed high-tier Ancestor Realm combat power, whereas the Mahayana practitioners were only ordinary Ancestors. Even when the Mahayana experts formed arrays to unleash combined ancestral strikes that matched high-tier Ancestor strength, the technique had far too many limitations. The three Martial Ancestors had no such constraints; their personal combat power was inherently high-tier! Many factions across the Boundary Sea knew of the Immortal Martial Palace solely because of the vast reputation the three Martial Ancestors had carved out. If high-tier Ancestors were already so formidable, top-tier Ancestors were on another plane entirely. "I understand," Lu Changsheng said with a nod. At that moment, a look of pleasant surprise crossed Martial Ancestor Jidao's face. "It has been less than eleven years, Lu Changsheng, yet you have already returned. "However, why does your aura seem rather peculiar? "It seems... you are still in the Limit Realm?" As a Martial Ancestor, Jidao could tell at a glance that Lu Changsheng's true body remained in the Limit Realm. And his perception was correct. Lu Changsheng's true body was indeed in the Limit Realm. Yet within his true body lay avatars. Once merged, his power would erupt exponentially in an instant. "Martial Ancestor, I obtained certain fortuitous encounters inside the Kunwu World..." Lu Changsheng did not go into detail, merely stating that he had gained opportunities allowing him to break the shackles of the Limit Realm. He even merged a fraction of his avatars, letting out a wisp of Sovereign Realm aura. "Remarkable..." "The Kunwu World truly lives up to its name as a land of opportunity that all races of the Boundary Sea fight to enter. To think you achieved such fortune—advancing from the Limit Realm to the Sovereign Realm in a mere eleven years. "Still, since you were expelled from the Kunwu World, what of its secrets...?" Martial Ancestor Jidao's eyes burned with anticipation. The secrets of the Kunwu World—or rather, opportunities concerning the Ancestor Realm. Lu Changsheng understood Jidao's intention and knew what he wished to learn. "During my eleven years in the Kunwu World, I did indeed uncover certain secrets regarding the Road to Ascending Heaven..." Lu Changsheng took the initiative to mention the Road to Ascending Heaven. Martial Ancestor Jidao shuddered. Indeed, this was the very opportunity he, the other two Martial Ancestors, and the Mahayana cultivators of the Immortal Martial Palace yearned for! Just as Lu Changsheng was about to reveal the truth behind the Road to Ascending Heaven, his senses twitched. He snapped his head up toward the void ahead. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. Someone was in front of them! Moreover, the figures ahead had directly locked onto both Lu Changsheng and Martial Ancestor Jidao. Clearly, they had come specifically for them! "Halt!" Martial Ancestor Jidao had sensed it as well. He came to a stop, his expression solemn as he stared into the void. Two silhouettes stood there. One of them was the Eight-Armed Ancestor from earlier. The other appeared to radiate an aura even less imposing than the Eight-Armed Ancestor's. Yet Martial Ancestor Jidao's pupils shrank violently. "It's him?" "Ancestor Xuankong!" A tempest raged in Martial Ancestor Jidao's heart. Ancestor Xuankong! He was one of the Ancestor Realm beings Jidao dreaded most—and the very top-tier Ancestor backing the Eight-Armed Ancestor. Who could have imagined Ancestor Xuankong would be waiting here? It seemed he had come specifically for him! "Ancestor Xuankong, Eight-Armed Ancestor, what is the meaning of this?" Knowing there was no retreating, Martial Ancestor Jidao hardened his resolve and demanded answers loudly. The Eight-Armed Ancestor sneered. "Jidao Ancestor, I know your Immortal Martial Palace has immense weight, so I invited my elder brother. "You have only one choice: leave Lu Changsheng behind!" Martial Ancestor Jidao's pupils narrowed. As expected, they were here for Lu Changsheng. Yet what significance could Lu Changsheng possibly hold to warrant Ancestor Xuankong personally intercepting him? Ancestor Xuankong was a top-tier Ancestor! "Eight-Armed Ancestor, Ancestor Xuankong, do you take our Immortal Martial Palace for an easy target?" Right then, a familiar voice echoed from the void. Two silhouettes materialized—Martial Ancestor Gufu and Martial Ancestor Wanfa. The two had rushed over upon receiving Martial Ancestor Jidao's message. They had never expected to find this confrontation awaiting them. Someone had intercepted Jidao? And it was the Eight-Armed Ancestor and Ancestor Xuankong! The arrival of the two Martial Ancestors allowed Martial Ancestor Jidao to breathe a slight sigh of relief. Facing Ancestor Xuankong alone placed immense pressure on him. With his two peers beside him, forming their trio, that pressure lessened considerably. Ancestor Xuankong's expression remained tranquil. He swept a glance over the three and spoke placidly. "The three Martial Ancestors of the Immortal Martial Palace. I know of you. The status the Immortal Martial Palace enjoys today rests entirely on your shoulders. "It is said that the three of you cultivate the same system and excel at combined assault techniques. When working together, few beneath the top-tier Ancestor Realm can match you. "Supposedly, you can even barely contend with a top-tier Ancestor. "I, however, do not believe it." Ancestor Xuankong's words caused the hearts of the three Martial Ancestors to sink. They were rumored to be capable of resisting a top-tier Ancestor when fighting as one. Yet they knew their own truth. That rumor was heavily exaggerated. In fact, the three of them had secretly fueled and tolerated the rumor simply to maintain greater deterrence for the Immortal Martial Palace. Now, however, they were confronted by a genuine top-tier Ancestor! "Ancestor Xuankong, what standing does Lu Changsheng possess that warrants your personal intervention?" "Few come out of the Kunwu World, but he is hardly the only one. Why pursue Lu Changsheng so relentlessly? If there is information you seek, our Immortal Martial Palace is willing to discuss terms." Jidao Ancestor was the one to speak. His words carried a veiled concession. Conceding was not cowardice; sometimes, survival demanded wisdom. Had the Immortal Martial Palace refused to compromise in the Boundary Sea, it would have ceased to exist long ago, and the Immortal Martial World would have been destroyed with it. How could they have lasted until now? The three Martial Ancestors clearly did not wish to fight Ancestor Xuankong in earnest. Barring irreconcilable conflicts, they were willing to yield a step. Sharing intelligence regarding the Kunwu World posed no issue to them, so long as they retained the knowledge themselves. "Were he an ordinary junior, that would be one thing, but this Lu Changsheng..." "By the way, you aren't aware of what transpired in the Kunwu World, are you?" "According to word received by this seat, an earth-shattering event recently took place within the Kunwu World. A Boundary Sea cultivator named Lu Changsheng plundered every divine item across the Kunwu World, subjugated countless divine dynasties, and swept across the realm entirely invincible and unopposed. "Could this Lu Changsheng happen to be the one from your Immortal Martial Palace?" "If so, then your Immortal Martial Palace cannot protect him. In fact, not only can your Immortal Martial Palace not protect him, even my elder brother and I may struggle to keep him..." The Eight-Armed Ancestor revealed shocking news. The faces of the three Martial Ancestors changed drastically. "What... did you say?" "Lu Changsheng plundered all the divine items and subdued every divine dynasty? Impossible!" "The divine dynasties of the Kunwu World possess national divine items, which wield combat strength comparable to the Ancestor Realm. Who inside the Kunwu World could oppose a national divine item?" "Only those in the Limit Realm may enter the Kunwu World. What Limit Realm cultivator could defeat a national divine item? This is utter nonsense..." None of the three Martial Ancestors believed it. The more they considered it, the more absurd it sounded. Could the Eight-Armed Ancestor and Ancestor Xuankong truly fail to grasp such plain logic? Yet as they spoke, the Eight-Armed Ancestor and Ancestor Xuankong remained completely impassive, watching them in silence. The three Martial Ancestors suddenly stopped. Understanding dawned on them. In that moment, they fell silent. Could the Eight-Armed Ancestor and Ancestor Xuankong be ignorant of how preposterous the claim sounded? Yet despite how absurd it seemed, they believed it. What did that mean? It meant it was almost certainly true! What they wanted was not intelligence regarding the Kunwu World's upheavals. What they sought was the secret behind Lu Changsheng's ability to sweep across the Kunwu World unopposed! If Lu Changsheng could deceive the Kunwu World and avoid expulsion, what about other Ancestors? Even if an Ancestor could enter the Kunwu World just a fraction ahead of the rest, taking the lead would yield unimaginable advantages. That was why the Eight-Armed Ancestor had immediately sought out Ancestor Xuankong, and why Ancestor Xuankong had come without a moment's hesitation. In this world, no one at their level was truly foolish. "Heh, caught on?" "Now that you understand, you should know that your Immortal Martial Palace cannot shield Lu Changsheng. "Lu Changsheng, will you come with us quietly, or shall my brother and I join forces to slay the three Martial Ancestors of your palace?" "Make no mistake—once my elder brother strikes, the three Martial Ancestors will perish without a doubt!" The Eight-Armed Ancestor sneered. The three Martial Ancestors did not dispute this; they simply remained silent. Jidao Ancestor, in particular, looked at Lu Changsheng with complex eyes. They lacked the Eight-Armed Ancestor's extensive intelligence channels and knew nothing of Lu Changsheng's deeds inside the Kunwu World. Now, however, it seemed Lu Changsheng had indeed accomplished something earth-shaking—something grave enough that a top-tier Ancestor of the Boundary Sea would personally intervene, casting aside all dignity to seize him. "Lu Changsheng, in the Kunwu World, did you..." Martial Ancestor Jidao could not resist asking. "Yes," Lu Changsheng replied, meeting the gazes of the three Martial Ancestors and admitting it directly. There was no concealing it. He had practically reigned supreme and swept across the Kunwu World. After causing such a storm, how could he keep it a secret? It was impossible. The truth would inevitably leak. If not the Eight-Armed Ancestor and Ancestor Xuankong today, it would be others tomorrow. Lu Changsheng had foreseen this before leaving the Kunwu World. Once he returned to the Boundary Sea, peace was never an option. The three Martial Ancestors exchanged glances. Clearly, they recognized that Lu Changsheng had truly done something momentous—an achievement so vast that even a top-tier Ancestor would spare no effort to capture him. Yet Lu Changsheng belonged to the Immortal Martial Palace. He was the disciple they had personally chosen and dispatched to the Kunwu World. How could they hand him over lightly? The three Martial Ancestors had earned their renown through countless battles in the Boundary Sea. Their decision was made in an instant. "Ancestor Xuankong, if you expect us to abandon our own disciple, think again!" "Indeed. Come, let the three of us experience Ancestor Xuankong's prowess." "Ancestor Xuankong is famed for his sword. The three of us have long wished to witness it." The three Martial Ancestors stepped forward together. *Boom!* Their auras surged violently. They had resolved to fight Ancestor Xuankong! This was a top-tier Ancestor—an opponent many Ancestors would never dare face head-on. Yet the three Martial Ancestors stepped forward regardless. Surrendering Lu Changsheng without a struggle was entirely out of the question! Martial artists fought heaven and earth. There were martial artists who died in battle, but none who cowered and retreated! Naturally, they were prepared. If they truly could not match him, they would have no choice, but they refused to throw Lu Changsheng to Ancestor Xuankong without lifting a finger. Watching the three Martial Ancestors stand their ground, Lu Changsheng felt a flicker of surprise. "You... have courage." "I have heard tell of the three Martial Ancestors of the Immortal Martial Palace, and how your combined strength can rival a top-tier Ancestor. "Since you wish to witness my sword, I shall grant your request..." Ancestor Xuankong spoke calmly, yet none dared underestimate him. A man's name cast a long shadow; Ancestor Xuankong was a genuine top-tier Ancestor! One needed only look at the Eight-Armed Ancestor. The Eight-Armed Ancestor was not inferior to any of the three Martial Ancestors individually. Even against Jidao Ancestor, only a direct battle would reveal who held the upper hand. Yet the Eight-Armed Ancestor yielded completely to Ancestor Xuankong. Seeing Ancestor Xuankong prepare to strike, the Eight-Armed Ancestor stood aside with no intention of intervening. With his elder brother making a move, what need was there for him? "You're in luck," the Eight-Armed Ancestor said with a grin. "Not just anyone gets to witness my elder brother's sword. "Even I can count the number of times I've seen him draw it on one hand..." To his eyes, once his elder brother acted, the matter was settled. He needed only to watch the show. The three Martial Ancestors braced themselves. As Martial Ancestors, they stood at the absolute zenith of the Immortal Martial Palace's martial path. *Rumble!* Three terrifying auras blotted out the void. They struck together, unleashing three fists in unison. The sheer terror of those three punches defied imagination, as if capable of annihilating and shattering all creation. Their intent instantly locked onto Ancestor Xuankong. Yet Ancestor Xuankong's gaze remained unruffled. *Clang!* Ancestor Xuankong drew his sword. No one saw where the sword came from, but the moment it was drawn, a brilliant sword light illuminated the void. It seemed as though that radiant light could be seen even across the vast reaches of the Boundary Sea. "This sword..." The faces of the three Martial Ancestors drained of color. When they had joined forces at the start, they had felt a degree of confidence, daring to pit themselves against Ancestor Xuankong. After all, the three Martial Ancestors were invincible within the Immortal Martial Palace and rarely met their match in the Boundary Sea. Yet confronting Ancestor Xuankong now, the moment he acted, they knew they were in dire straits. They could not block this strike! Even joining forces, they could not stop it. The phantom fist impressions the three unleashed shattered instantly, pierced through as if by tens of thousands of sword rays. The terrifying sword light descended upon the three Martial Ancestors. *Squelch!* Their bodies were instantly riddled with countless wounds. They did not die, however. In the Boundary Sea, slaying an Ancestor Realm expert was no easy feat. Though a top-tier Ancestor was exceptionally strong, killing three Martial Ancestors in a single blow was still beyond reach. Yet a few more strikes would change that. The three knew with absolute certainty that if several more such strikes landed, they would never endure them. There was a high probability they would truly perish! Though their bodies were lacerated with holes, the injuries healed in the blink of an eye. Yet even with their flesh restored, they recognized the vast gulf between them. Continuing to fight offered no chance of victory. "Do you wish to continue?" "A few more strikes, and you will die." Ancestor Xuankong's tone remained as tranquil as ever. The three Martial Ancestors were indeed strong, yet they still could not withstand his sword. The three fell silent. "Lu Changsheng, flee back to the Immortal Martial Palace with Martial Ancestor Gufu in a moment," Martial Ancestor Jidao transmitted his voice. "The Immortal Martial Palace is a supreme treasure. We can use its grand formations to hold off Ancestor Xuankong. "Once there, perhaps a turning point will emerge." Clearly, they had no intention of abandoning Lu Changsheng. At worst, they would retreat to the palace and rely on its defenses to resist Ancestor Xuankong. Yet that was not a true solution. Even if they could hide inside, how long could they stay sheltered? Ancestor Xuankong was not alone; he could rally experts to lay siege to the Immortal Martial Palace. Could the palace withstand such an assault? Even if it held, if the enemy blockaded them, they would be trapped like turtles in a jar, never able to emerge. There was an even darker possibility: Ancestor Xuankong could strike against the Immortal Martial World. The Immortal Martial World could not flee. If Ancestor Xuankong used the world as leverage, what would the palace do? It would remain an impossible dilemma. "Have you decided?" "A fight to the death, or compromise?" Ancestor Xuankong's gaze bored into the three Martial Ancestors. "We..." Just as Jidao Ancestor began to speak, a figure stepped past the three Martial Ancestors and planted himself directly in the void. "Lu Changsheng, you..." Martial Ancestor Jidao stiffened in shock. "You three have worked hard. You can leave the rest to me..." Without waiting for the three Martial Ancestors to respond, Lu Changsheng took one step after another through the air as if ascending an invisible staircase, walking straight toward Ancestor Xuankong. His gaze locked directly onto Ancestor Xuankong. "The things you want, the secrets you seek—they are all on me. "In fact, what I carry might even exceed your wildest imagination. "The question is: do you have what it takes to claim them?" Lu Changsheng's voice was quiet. Yet it detonated like thunder in the ears of everyone present.
