Return to the City in the Sky! Ancestor Dengtian Shakes All Quarters!

"Time is up!" A trace of chill surfaced in Lu Changsheng's eyes. Over the span of ten breaths, the number of people who had departed the Thunder Spirit Realm could be counted on one's fingers. Almost no one cared about Lu Changsheng's "ban." Lu Changsheng did not care either. He knew that prior to today, he had been an unknown in the City in the Sky and across the Boundary Sea; no one would take his words seriously. But after today, things would be different. *Buzz.* Lu Changsheng moved. Standing ten thousand zhang tall, even a slight turn of his Myriad Spirits Immortal Body caused a tremendous disturbance. Lu Changsheng looked down at the three top-tier Ancestors in the Thunder Spirit Realm below. Yes, three top-tier Ancestors! Within the Thunder Spirit Realm, there were already three top-tier Ancestors who had entered from the Boundary Sea. *Whoosh.* In an instant, Lu Changsheng locked onto the three top-tier Ancestors. "Hmm?" "Someone has locked their aura onto this old man. Is it that top-tier Ancestor calling himself Lu Changsheng?" "Heh, taking this seat for a soft persimmon to squeeze?" The three top-tier Ancestors instantly understood Lu Changsheng's intention. Lu Changsheng was preparing to strike against the three of them—killing the chicken to scare the monkeys! Yet they were three top-tier Ancestors. Lu Changsheng was merely a top-tier Ancestor as well. Fighting one against three was sheer arrogance. Did Lu Changsheng truly believe he could defeat three top-tier Ancestors single-handedly? Regardless of what Lu Changsheng intended, locking directly onto three top-tier Ancestors was, in truth, an outright provocation. The three top-tier Ancestors responded immediately. Three terrifying auras erupted with a roar. At the same time, the three top-tier Ancestors unexpectedly joined forces without prior coordination, unleashing their attacks at the very same moment. Across the vast distance, their attacks blasted toward Lu Changsheng. Moreover, he faced enemies from three flanks, striking from three different directions. At the level of the top-tier Ancestor Realm, one could launch attacks across immense distances. All at once, the three top-tier Ancestors unleashed their full might, shaking heaven and earth. The entire Thunder Spirit Realm trembled. Many in the Boundary Sea witnessed this scene, their minds deeply shaken. To varying degrees, they had all heard of top-tier Ancestors before. But those who had actually witnessed a top-tier Ancestor make a move could be counted on one's fingers. And now, they were seeing four top-tier Ancestors clash right before their eyes—and one against three, no less. How could they not be astounded? "Fellow Daoist Dengtian..." Lei Quan's heart tightened. Looking at Lu Changsheng in the void, his heart leapt into his throat. This was one against three! All of them were top-tier Ancestors. With three joining hands, how could Lu Changsheng possibly withstand them? Lei Quan even felt he should have dissuaded or stopped Lu Changsheng earlier. Wouldn't picking them off one by one have been better? Why must he be so high-profile, forcing three top-tier Ancestors to join forces? Now look what happened—Lu Changsheng had fallen into peril. Yet Lu Changsheng remained remarkably calm. Facing the combined strike of the three top-tier Ancestors, Lu Changsheng simply pointed a finger. "Slaughter Dao, Fourth Turn!" *Boom!* Lu Changsheng tapped out a single finger, but it transformed into countless fingers descending toward the three top-tier Ancestors. Every single finger carried a horrifying intent to slaughter. This was the Slaughter Dao! And at the Fourth Turn! It was far more terrifying than Ancestor Luosheng's Slaughter Dao back then. Moreover, Lu Changsheng was driving it with forty percent of his Myriad Spirits Immortal Body. Its might was simply beyond imagination. Lu Changsheng even felt it could rival a supreme Ancestor. Yet facing these three top-tier Ancestors, he decisively unleashed his strongest method without holding back in the slightest. His goal was clear: not merely to defeat three top-tier Ancestors, but... to slaughter them! He intended to slay all three top-tier Ancestors! As Lu Changsheng unleashed the Fourth Turn of the Slaughter Dao, heaven and earth instantly changed color. Everyone felt the space before their eyes distort, and a dreadful slaughter intent flooded the Boundary Sea. One had to realize that they were in the Boundary Sea, while the battle was taking place merely within the Thunder Spirit Realm. How could even those in the Boundary Sea be affected? "What kind of technique is this?" "What terrifying slaughter intent! It seems somewhat similar to Ancestor Luosheng's Slaughter Dao." "No, this *is* the Slaughter Dao! Only it is far more terrifying than Ancestor Luosheng's!" "Lu Changsheng, also known as Ancestor Dengtian... is he truly fighting one against three..." Many hearts tightened. The Slaughter Dao! That was Ancestor Luosheng's renowned technique. Now it was being wielded by Lu Changsheng, and with even greater power. Either Luosheng had a very close relationship with Lu Changsheng, or... No one dared to pursue that line of thought further, feeling only a chill in their hearts. After all, Ancestor Luosheng had fallen. It was said he had been killed, but by whom remained entirely unknown to this day. Looking at it now, Ancestor Dengtian Lu Changsheng likely had a great deal to do with Ancestor Luosheng's death. Yet even if they knew, so what? Lu Changsheng did not care in the slightest. Would any kin or friends of Ancestor Luosheng dare pursue vengeance against Lu Changsheng? That would be courting death! *Rumble!* Finally, the attacks of the four top-tier Ancestors collided head-on. Then, an astonishing scene unfolded. The finger force of Lu Changsheng's Slaughter Dao instantly pierced through the attacks of the three top-tier Ancestors. It was an overwhelming, magnificent crushing force—absolute suppression through sheer power. The expressions of the three top-tier Ancestors changed drastically in an instant. They couldn't block it. They couldn't hold it back! Even with three top-tier Ancestors joining forces, they could not withstand Lu Changsheng's Slaughter Dao. "Ah..." All three Ancestors let out shrill cries of agony. Very quickly, the sounds died away—because they were already dead. Not a trace of bone or flesh remained! The domineering power of the Slaughter Dao's Fourth Turn exceeded even Lu Changsheng's imagination. Under a single strike, the three top-tier Ancestors had been as fragile as eggshells, instantly ground into fine dust. It could not have been easier. This was also the first time Lu Changsheng had used the Fourth Turn of the Slaughter Dao against enemies. The result? That was it? Those three top-tier Ancestors had been far too weak. Lu Changsheng shook his head. At that moment, the Boundary Sea fell dead silent. Everyone seemed unable to believe what they had just witnessed. Lu Changsheng had fought one against three, yet he made it look effortless, easily slaying three top-tier Ancestors. Had some not recognized those three, people might have doubted whether they were truly top-tier Ancestors at all. This was simply too shocking. The City in the Sky had numerous Ancestors, and quite a few top-tier Ancestors among them. But top-tier Ancestors essentially stood at the peak. Supreme Ancestors rarely showed themselves; top-tier Ancestors were generally the highest existence anyone could encounter. Every top-tier Ancestor was an exalted, hegemonic figure. Yet such hegemonic figures had lost three of their number to a single strike! "Could he... could he be a supreme Ancestor? Slaying three top-tier Ancestors in one strike—how is that possible?" "Ancestor Dengtian Lu Changsheng... never heard of him before, so how can he possess such terrifying power?" "Today's battle has made Ancestor Dengtian famous in a single stroke! Ancestor Dengtian of the Immortal Martial Palace... his renown is bound to resound across the City in the Sky..." "Go, get out of here quickly!" For a time, the quickest to react were the Ancestors still inside the Thunder Spirit Realm. At first, they hadn't cared in the slightest about Lu Changsheng's threat. After all, if the sky collapsed, the tallest would hold it up. There had been top-tier and high-rank Ancestors in the realm; even if Lu Changsheng struck, he would target them first. But who could have imagined that three top-tier Ancestors couldn't withstand even a single strike from Lu Changsheng, dying beneath that solitary blow? It was truly shocking. At this moment, those Ancestors naturally "remembered" Lu Changsheng's earlier "ban." What were they waiting for? Run, of course! Fleeing the Thunder Spirit Realm at all costs, who dared linger any longer? Lu Changsheng paid them no heed, even deliberately letting them flee. If they ran on their own, it spared him the trouble of personally taking action. Standing quietly in the void, Lu Changsheng directed his gaze toward the figures of the Ancestors in the Boundary Sea, then spoke coldly: "The Thunder Spirit Realm is under Lu's protection. If anyone enters the Thunder Spirit Realm without Lu's permission, Lu shall grant them no mercy!" Lu Changsheng's voice echoed through the void. He then retracted his Myriad Spirits Immortal Body and returned to Mount Kui Cow. In the Boundary Sea, renowned Ancestors looked at one another in dismay. The Thunder Spirit Realm was right before their eyes; they could even see vast quantities of thunder stones. But so what? They dared not enter! After all, the three top-tier Ancestors were an object lesson. Now that "Fellow Daoist Dengtian" had declared the Thunder Spirit Realm under his protection, who dared recklessly intrude? That would be courting death! "This Ancestor Dengtian is truly domineering, monopolizing the Thunder Spirit Realm all on his own." "Heh, if he weren't domineering, would he have slain three top-tier Ancestors? If you had the power to kill three top-tier Ancestors, you'd probably be even more domineering than this!" "What do we do now?" "What else can we do? We don't dare barge into the Thunder Spirit Realm, so we can only leave." "What an unwilling pill to swallow! But even if we're unwilling, what can we do unless someone can invite a supreme Ancestor..." Everyone fell silent. A supreme Ancestor! They could naturally see that Ancestor Dengtian Lu Changsheng's strength was too terrifying. Unless one were a supreme Ancestor, there was simply no contending with him. But who could possibly invite a supreme Ancestor? And even if one could, would a supreme Ancestor bother intervening over a mere Thunder Spirit Realm? Thus, one Ancestor after another could only turn and leave the Thunder Spirit Realm. Lu Changsheng returned to Mount Kui Cow. Lei Quan came forward at once. "Fellow Daoist Dengtian, you have saved the entire Thunder Spirit Realm! In accordance with our agreement, we will grant Fellow Daoist thirty percent of the revenue from the thunder stones, settled once a year. Would that suit you, Fellow Daoist?" Lu Changsheng nodded. "Acceptable. However, I will need to dispatch people to station themselves in the Thunder Spirit Realm for oversight." "Naturally." The two parties settled a few more details. Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment. The corpse of the Kui Cow on Mount Kui Cow truly could not be analyzed anytime soon. Even now, he had made no headway whatsoever. It might take a very long time—a year? Ten years? Perhaps even a century? Anything was possible. There was no point in Lu Changsheng's true body remaining on Mount Kui Cow. Any avatar could carry out the analysis just the same. Once the analysis was complete, he could simply have his true body make another trip to refine the Kui Cow's corpse. With this thought, Lu Changsheng decided to return to the City in the Sky. This time, his harvest had been substantial. Not only had he obtained the immortal spirit divine item, but he had also captured the Ancestors of the Rock and Spirit clans, who could continuously provide him with essence blood to strengthen his physical body. "Fellow Daoist Dengtian, you are leaving?" Lei Quan hurriedly came to inquire upon learning of Lu Changsheng's departure. "Indeed. I have left an avatar on Mount Kui Cow to analyze the Kui Cow's corpse. It may take quite some time, so I intend to return to the City in the Sky," Lu Changsheng replied frankly without concealing anything. Lei Quan let out a sigh of relief. Lu Changsheng hadn't left entirely. Though his true body was leaving, his avatar remained here. In particular, Lei Quan had noticed that Lu Changsheng seemed unable to take the Kui Cow's corpse away, which delighted Lei Quan even more. With the Kui Cow's corpse present, Lu Changsheng would not abandon the Thunder Spirit Realm. And under the aegis of Lu Changsheng's renown, the realm would remain very secure. Of course, sooner or later, a day would come when Lu Changsheng departed the Thunder Spirit Realm completely. When that time came, the realm would have to rely on itself. Therefore, the Thunder Spirit Realm had to produce its own top-tier Ancestor. Only a top-tier Ancestor could protect the realm! If possible, Lei Quan hoped Lu Changsheng would spend as long as possible studying the Kui Cow's corpse. But that was beyond his control, and he could only silently hope for it in his heart. "By the way, Fellow Daoist Lu, what plans do you have regarding the Rock clan?" Lei Quan asked suddenly. "The Rock clan?" Lu Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly. He immediately guessed Lei Quan's intent. The so-called Rock clan did not refer to the Rock clan members within the Thunder Spirit Realm; those in the Thunder Spirit Realm had already become lambs awaiting slaughter, left entirely to the Spirit clan's disposal. However, the Rock clan was not limited to these few people. They possessed a world of their own called the Rock Realm. Lei Quan's question was naturally about how to handle the Rock Realm. Lu Changsheng gave Lei Quan a deep look and said calmly, "Matters concerning the Rock clan have nothing to do with Lu. Lu has merely purged the Ancestors of the Spirit and Rock clans within the Thunder Spirit Realm, along with some of the Ancestor-level experts from the Boundary Sea. But the Rock clan's invasion of the Thunder Spirit Realm is a matter for the Thunder Spirit Realm, an internal affair of your Thunder clan. You may handle it yourselves." Lu Changsheng did not wish to involve himself further with the Rock clan. Was he supposed to suddenly travel to the Rock Realm and exterminate it? Wouldn't that make him an enforcer for the Thunder clan? Hence, Lu Changsheng would not meddle in matters concerning the Rock clan. For Lu Changsheng, his promises to the Thunder clan were already fulfilled. As for how the Thunder clan dealt with the Rock clan, or even whether they launched a counter-offensive against the Rock clan, none of that concerned him, and he would not interfere. Lei Quan understood Lu Changsheng's meaning. Taking a deep breath, he said slowly, "Then I wish Fellow Daoist Dengtian a smooth journey." Lei Quan cupped his hands. He was still deeply grateful to Lu Changsheng. Without him, the Thunder Spirit Realm likely could not have been preserved. In fact, both the Thunder clan and Spirit clan of the Thunder Spirit Realm might have ended up wandering races, which would have been a devastating blow. But with Lu Changsheng, the Thunder Spirit clan had been saved, as had the Thunder clan and the Spirit clan. "Fellow Daoist Lei, farewell." With that, Lu Changsheng left an avatar behind, while his true body flew directly out of the Thunder Spirit Realm, vanishing into the depths of the Boundary Sea in the blink of an eye. *** Lu Changsheng returned to the City in the Sky. The journey back from the Thunder Spirit Realm was noticeably faster, as Lu Changsheng traveled using his underwater manor. Upon returning to the City in the Sky, Lu Changsheng immediately noticed a difference. He realized that the people here all seemed to recognize him. When they saw him, they kept a certain distance, their expressions cautious and laced with a hint of awe. *Awe?* Lu Changsheng roughly understood what was happening. News from the Thunder Spirit Realm had most likely already reached the City in the Sky. He had displayed overwhelming might there, slaying three top-tier Ancestors in a single strike. With so many witnesses, word had naturally spread throughout the city in no time. However, Lu Changsheng paid it no mind and headed straight back to his cave abode. Inside the cave abode, Ancestor Juding was a picture of excitement and disbelief. "Fellow Daoist Dengtian, did you... did you truly slay three top-tier Ancestors in a single strike?" Ancestor Juding asked. Ancestor Juding and Lu Changsheng now both belonged to the Immortal Martial Palace as Ancestors. He had a fairly good understanding of Lu Changsheng and knew he possessed the power to slay a top-tier Ancestor. But slaying a single top-tier Ancestor versus slaying three top-tier Ancestors in one blow were entirely different matters. Even Ancestor Juding found it hard to believe, which was why he had to ask. Lu Changsheng smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Juding, the rumors you heard should all be true. Those three top-tier Ancestors were indeed slain by me. And the Thunder Spirit Realm is indeed under my protection. There is something I need there, and having other Ancestors stirring up trouble was inconvenient, so I could only slay the three top-tier Ancestors to deter the rest. But that matter is finished now." Lu Changsheng's words set off stormy waves in Ancestor Juding's heart. He felt quite fortunate now that he had chosen to join the Immortal Martial World back then, becoming a part of it. In hindsight, what a correct decision that had been! Lu Changsheng's strength was simply earth-shattering. Slaying three top-tier Ancestors in a single strike—what kind of power was that? "Fellow Daoist Dengtian, has your current strength reached the supreme Ancestor Realm?" Ancestor Juding couldn't help asking. The supreme Ancestor Realm! He hardly dared imagine it. Throughout the entire Boundary Sea, although Ancestors were difficult to produce, the Boundary Sea was immense, home to countless worlds. When pooled together, Ancestors were as numerous as cattle hairs, virtually beyond counting. Yet among so many Ancestors, how many supreme Ancestors had emerged? A supreme Ancestor stood almost at the very pinnacle of the Boundary Sea. As for those above the supreme Ancestor Realm, their movements were as elusive as divine dragons glimpsed only through clouds, rarely even heard of, let alone seen. A supreme Ancestor was essentially a true hegemon of the Boundary Sea. For example, that supreme Ancestor of the City in the Sky had created the city with his own hands, single-handedly bringing it immense prosperity. Furthermore, no one dared stir up trouble in the City in the Sky; everyone complied with its rules. Such was the deterrent force of a supreme Ancestor! If Lu Changsheng truly had become a supreme Ancestor, it would bring unimaginable, tremendous benefits to the entire Immortal Martial World. A single supreme Ancestor was enough to run rampant throughout the Boundary Sea without restraint. Lu Changsheng's ability to slay three top-tier Ancestors in a single strike inevitably led Ancestor Juding to draw that connection. Lu Changsheng shook his head. "A supreme Ancestor... Lu is likely still short of that. However, ordinary top-tier Ancestors truly no longer enter my eyes. As for the Giant Spirit race's integration into the Immortal Martial World, you may rest easy." Lu Changsheng wore a faint smile. He naturally knew what Ancestor Juding was thinking. A supreme Ancestor—who wouldn't aspire to that? But Lu Changsheng always felt he was still missing a little something. Although relying on forty percent of his Myriad Spirits Immortal Body, the Fourth Turn of his Slaughter Dao, along with the underwater manor and the Mortal Immortal Dao's analytical abilities, his overall combat strength was not inferior to any top-tier Ancestor, Lu Changsheng knew clearly that while his strength was formidable, it had not undergone a certain "qualitative transformation." It was said that a supreme Ancestor's strength had experienced a qualitative shift, making them fundamentally different from top-tier Ancestors. Slaying top-tier Ancestors was effortless for them. Otherwise, how could supreme Ancestors stand at the pinnacle of the Boundary Sea, looking down upon countless Ancestors? Lu Changsheng could sense directly that, at present, he was indeed still short of the supreme Ancestor Realm. "Of course I rest easy," Ancestor Juding nodded. He understood Lu Changsheng's meaning. To say he was still short of the supreme Ancestor Realm meant Lu Changsheng possessed great hope—even confidence—in reaching it in the future! At that thought, Ancestor Juding felt a surge of emotion. Perhaps the Immortal Martial Palace truly was about to give birth to a supreme Ancestor! "By the way, I intend to enter seclusion for a time and will see no one," Lu Changsheng instructed briefly before heading directly into the depths of the cave abode to begin his seclusion. *Buzz.* Lu Changsheng manifested the underwater manor. He had not forgotten that the Ancestors of the Rock and Spirit clans remained imprisoned within it. These were all beings with exceedingly robust physical bodies. Lu Changsheng naturally did not stand on ceremony, directly extracting the essence blood of both the Rock and Spirit clans. He began by analyzing it before refining it. Lu Changsheng's analytical ability was constantly growing stronger, and he was already very familiar with essence blood at the Ancestor Realm level. Consequently, he quickly completed the analysis of both types of essence blood. Then, Lu Changsheng began to refine them. One month, two months, three months... After three months, Lu Changsheng had finally refined all the essence blood of the Rock and Spirit clans. This time, his efficiency was remarkably high. Lu Changsheng could clearly feel that his physical body had improved considerably. But that was all. It remained at the nonary growth, which corresponded to the Sovereign Realm. It still seemed quite far from the Ancestor Realm. However, having obtained Ancestor Juding's essence blood, Lu Changsheng had learned some bloodline memories. The bloodline inherited by Ancestor Juding clearly recorded how to step onto the Physical Immortal Dao. Ordinary beings could temper their physical bodies, even tempering them to the Ancestor Realm. But that was merely an ordinary Ancestor Realm, not stepping onto the Physical Immortal Dao. To step onto the Physical Immortal Dao, one had to forge a Physical Immortal Dao foundation. And to forge such a foundation, the most vital requirement was possessing the bloodline of a mighty figure of the Immortal Realm, or a curiosity matching that level. The Giant Spirit bloodline was an example. Unfortunately, Lu Changsheng possessed no Giant Spirit bloodline. As for bloodlines of other Immortal Realm mighty figures, he most likely had none either. His was just an ordinary human bloodline, which could not be connected to the bloodline of an Immortal Realm mighty figure no matter what. Aside from that, only a matching curiosity would do. Yet that alone was extraordinarily difficult. What kind of curiosity could match the bloodline of an Immortal Realm mighty figure? Lu Changsheng hadn't understood before, but ever since encountering the corpse of the Kui Cow, he knew. The Kui Cow's corpse undoubtedly qualified as a matching curiosity. Therefore, Lu Changsheng now possessed immense confidence in forging his Physical Immortal Dao foundation. As long as the analysis of the Kui Cow's corpse was completed, he could utilize it to forge his Physical Immortal Dao foundation and step onto the Physical Immortal Dao. Prior to that, Lu Changsheng needed to do only one thing: polish his physical body to be as strong as possible, but refrain from breaking through to the Ancestor Realm. He would continually polish his basics—the firmer the foundation, the better. And to make the foundation firm, he had to constantly use the essence blood of powerful beings to enhance his physical body. "Essence blood is still insufficient. Searching for it on my own won't do; I must buy it..." Lu Changsheng muttered softly. He had understood long ago that fighting alone wouldn't suffice. To obtain cultivation resources, one had to rely on a faction's influence. Now that Lu Changsheng had secured thirty percent of the Thunder Spirit clan's thunder stone revenues, he was not lacking in immortal crystals. Whatever cultivation resources he desired came down to a single word: buy! Since he needed to buy essence blood, Lu Changsheng simply paid a visit to the Spirit Trapper Chamber of Commerce. In this regard, the chamber was richly experienced and had wide connections, capable of providing at least some valuable information. Lu Changsheng arrived at the Spirit Trapper Chamber of Commerce once more. The moment he entered, the personnel of the chamber noticed him. "Ancestor Dengtian, please enter the VIP room." The receptionist was a woman whose demeanor was exceedingly respectful. "You recognize Lu?" Lu Changsheng looked closely at the woman, yet had no impression of her in his mind. He shouldn't have met her before. The woman smiled and said, "Ancestor Dengtian, you are renowned throughout our City in the Sky right now—who wouldn't recognize you? Our chamber even circulated your likeness to everyone, instructing us to firmly remember your appearance lest we offend the Ancestor." Realization dawned upon Lu Changsheng. He had almost forgotten that he was now a "celebrity" in the City in the Sky, the illustrious Ancestor Dengtian! He had once slain three top-tier Ancestors in a single strike. Unless a supreme Ancestor stepped forth, who dared claim they could steadily prevail over Lu Changsheng? As formidable as the Spirit Trapper Chamber of Commerce was, it lacked a supreme Ancestor presiding over it. Facing Lu Changsheng, how would they dare be negligent? "Very well, lead the way to the VIP room," Lu Changsheng said, heading straight inside. Soon, however, an elder replaced the woman. Elder Chen of the Spirit Trapper Chamber of Commerce personally attended to Lu Changsheng. This was a high-rank Ancestor who received only the most distinguished, weightiest VIPs. Clearly, Lu Changsheng now firmly belonged to that "most distinguished" category. "Fellow Daoist Dengtian, what instructions do you have for our Spirit Trapper Chamber of Commerce on your visit today?" Elder Chen asked with a smile. "Lu desires the essence blood of life-forms whose physical bodies have reached the Ancestor Realm, the more the better. Can your Spirit Trapper Chamber of Commerce provide it?" Lu Changsheng did not beat around the bush, stating his requirement plainly. "Essence blood of Ancestor-level life-forms?" A flicker of strange light shone in Elder Chen's eyes. In truth, Lu Changsheng had a prior record of purchasing essence blood from Ancestor-level life-forms. To some extent, the Spirit Trapper Chamber of Commerce knew he was using it for cultivation. But cultivating with the essence blood of Ancestor-level life-forms was actually very rare. Even when cultivating the physical body, refining the essence blood of other Ancestor-level life-forms was extraordinarily difficult. Moreover, even after refining, absorbing it directly was hard and came with many side effects. Lu Changsheng presumably possessed some method that allowed him to cultivate using such essence blood. However, this touched upon Lu Changsheng's secrets. In the past, the chamber might have probed into his secrets. But now? Even if given ten times the courage, the chamber would not dare pry into Lu Changsheng's secrets. Even if Lu Changsheng could cultivate with such essence blood, so what? Could they force Lu Changsheng to divulge his secret? The current Lu Changsheng had the qualifications to safeguard such secrets! Elder Chen pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "We have it! Capturing Ancestor-level life-forms is actually somewhat taboo. But if Ancestor Dengtian desires it, our Spirit Trapper Chamber of Commerce will naturally do everything in our power, sparing no cost to satisfy the Ancestor's needs. It's just that there is one matter where we might need to trouble the Ancestor..." Lu Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly. Sure enough, the Spirit Trapper Chamber of Commerce was being so proactive and enthusiastic, even agreeing to a "taboo" affair, because they had a request of him! "Speak, then. What is it?" Lu Changsheng was curious to hear what matter the Spirit Trapper Chamber of Commerce could possibly need his "help" with. After all, the chamber wielded tremendous influence and possessed top-tier Ancestors of its own. What sort of problem could possibly stump them?
