I Have A Disciple Simulator

Chapter 1205: Chapter 729: The Return of Geniuses Throughout History! (Part 2)

Years ago, Zhu Xinguang and his junior disciple were both candidates for the title of Holy Son, but Zhu Xinguang, unconcerned with worldly affairs, voluntarily withdrew from the competition and later left the Holy Land to undergo training.

Since then, there have been no records related to Zhu Xinguang in the Holy Land.

Later on, even the Elder Ancestor of the Lin Clan, the Jiang Family Ancestor, and Patriarch Ye assumed that this elder had long since fallen.

No one expected that, after one hundred and fifty million years, the long-absent Zhu Xinguang would return to the Holy Land.

“I ventured into the void to search for the Ziwei Ancient Star and used this gourd to absorb the Ziwei Celestial Flame. Unexpectedly, I encountered chaotic currents in the void and wandered there for a long time until Lin Xuanshuang found me.”

Zhu Xinguang briefly explained his experiences during this time.

“So that’s how it is.”

Lu Changsheng finally understood why Zhu Xinguang had disappeared for so long.

Surviving in the void for over a hundred million years, one can only imagine Zhu Xinguang’s strength.

Lu Changsheng also gained insight into the reasons for Lin Xuanshuang’s prolonged disappearance.

Lin Qinghan’s elder sister, Lin Xuanshuang, was likely searching for the missing geniuses of past generations.

The reason Lin Xuanshuang could find these long-lost geniuses was likely due to Lin Shiyu’s instructions.

“Ah, ah, ah!!!”

The Demon Realm powerhouse, faced with a vicious attack, let out a painful scream, and was slain by three Holy Land Great Experts, annihilated from existence!

“The situation is dire.”

Seeing the bad turn of events, Lin Beichen vanished without a trace.

“This grudge must be avenged; we must go!”

Jueyin Demon Venerable’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.

His subordinates had been killed, and as the Demon Venerable, he felt powerless, losing face before his other followers, a humiliation he must erase.

Jueyin Demon Venerable gathered many Demon Realm powerhouses into the Demon Tower, swirled his black robe, and vanished into thin air.

Lin Shiyu had no effective way to counter the fully retreating Jueyin Demon Venerable and could only watch as he left.

The likes of Jueyin Demon Venerable wanting to escape made it difficult to stop him without sufficient means.

“Finally, we won…”

The disciples and elders of Mount Taihua Sacred Land rejoiced after surviving the ordeal.

The return of the Holy Land genius relieved the Holy Land of its crisis.

For the foreseeable future, they need not worry about the invasion of the Demon Army.

The sects attached to the Mount Taihua Sacred Land were euphoric.

They thought they were facing a near-death situation, only to find the Holy Land was stronger than they had envisioned, making them more devoted.

“Master, this disciple came late; please forgive me.”

A robust man and a Jade Flute woman came to see Lin Shiyu.

The two were Lin Shiyu’s direct disciples, ranking in seniority perhaps just below Lin Shiyu in the Mount Taihua Sacred Land.

Lin Shiyu gently shook her head: “You two were cultivating in the Five Spirits Ruin, a place not connected with the Three Realms, unknown of these matters; it’s not your fault.”

The Jade Flute woman smiled: “This owes thanks to Lin Xuanshuang for coming to the Five Spirits Ruin to notify us; otherwise, we might have truly missed it.”

Lin Xuanshuang approached: “I too followed the Ancestor’s instructions to successfully find all the predecessors.”

Lin Xuanshuang’s gaze turned back to the arriving Lu Changsheng and Zhu Xinguang, especially Lu Changsheng: “You are that unparalleled genius my ancestor mentioned? My father even voluntarily handed over the Saint Lord position to you. Initially, I found it odd, but upon seeing you now, indeed you are extraordinary. I’ve also heard of my sister…”

“Sister!”

Lin Qinghan interrupted in time, secretly pinching Lin Xuanshuang.

“I greet Lady Xuanshuang.”

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised.

Lin Xuanshuang and Lin Qinghan, the sister pair, had similar looks, yet their personalities were vastly different.

Lin Xuanshuang had a fiery temperament, whereas Lin Qinghan was calm like water.

“Ha ha ha, our Holy Land has gained a genius, hopes for the future brighten.”

Zhu Xinguang vigorously patted Lu Changsheng’s shoulder, transmitting a strange force that nearly shattered Lu Changsheng’s shoulder.

Though Zhu Xinguang hadn’t intentionally used force, his naturally emanating strength was already incredibly terrifying.

Evidently, Zhu Xinguang was an extremely strong Tempered Body Expert.

“Young man, you are impressive, may surpass my Grand Master someday.”

The elderly man, with white hair, put away seven longswords, expressing great admiration for Lu Changsheng.

The master he referred to was naturally the Mount Taihua Goddess.

“May I ask for the senior’s esteemed name?”

“I am Shi Niandao.”

“So it’s the senior.”

Lu Changsheng remembered this genius from Mount Taihua Sacred Land.

This was the direct disciple of the Taihua Sword Maiden’s direct disciple, Ye Jiangjin, once a sword dao genius.

Later, for some unknown reason, Shi Niandao left Mount Taihua Sacred Land and disappeared without a trace.

Shi Niandao’s seniority was lower than Lin Shiyu’s two direct disciples, but Shi Niandao’s strength might not be inferior to the strong man and the woman with the Jade Flute.

Lin Shiyu once told him she had passed on the Mount Taihua Sacred Land’s sect-defining ultimate art, “One Sword Across Ages,” sixth sword stance to no fewer than ten people.

Lu Changsheng thought carefully, realizing Lin Shiyu spoke truthfully at the time.

Mount Taihua Sacred Land might have birthed no fewer than ten great experts from the time of the Taihua Sword Maiden.

After all, only great experts had the chance to grasp the sixth sword stance of “One Sword Across Ages.”

The vast majority of great experts sought out eternal and indestructible methods after the Holy Land became stable.

Among them were those who fell halfway, but naturally, some still lived.

Learning of the sect’s difficulties, they immediately returned.

Besides Lin Xuanshuang who achieved great accomplishment in the Divine King Realm, the other four returning Sacred Land geniuses were all great experts in the Immortal Realm, greatly increasing Taihua Sacred Land’s strength with four more great experts.

Including Lin Shiyu, the Elder Ancestor of the Lin Clan, and the Jiang Family Ancestor, Mount Taihua Sacred Land had seven great experts, a formidable fighting force.

“Junior pays respects to all the ancestors!”

Patriarch Ye, accompanied by a group of ancestors, came to pay respects to the returning Sacred Land geniuses.

To Patriarch Ye, Shi Niandao, Zhu Xinguang, and others were all figures of ancestor level.

Especially Shi Niandao, who was the direct disciple of Ye Family’s founder, Ye Jiangjin.

Shi Niandao and others nodded in acknowledgment.

In their eyes, even Patriarch Ye was but a junior.

“Xuanshuang, you’ve improved a lot during this time. It seems you had a fortunate encounter.”

Liu Yue’er stroked Lin Xuanshuang’s soft hair, her eyes filled with affection.

Lin Xuanshuang replied, “Mother, after I left the Holy Land, some things happened. I’ll tell you the details later.”

“Alright.” Liu Yue’er looked at Lu Changsheng, “Longevity, now that you are in charge of the Sacred Land, there’s much to restore, and the Sacred Land needs to be reorganized.”

“I will handle it properly.”

Lu Changsheng glanced at the disarray in the Sacred Land.

Due to Jueyin Demon Venerable’s Demon Realm army invading Mount Taihua Sacred Land, the Sacred Land paid a considerable price, losing many elders and disciples, and still needed to console and attract various sects that were dependent on Mount Taihua Sacred Land.

“But before that, I need to make a trip to the Heavenly Fire Sacred Land.”

Lu Changsheng did not forget that before he visited the Chaos Realm, he had asked a first-rate grandmaster of artifact crafting from the Heavenly Fire Sacred Land to forge an immortal sword.

Now many years have passed, and it was time to collect the sword.

“Junior Sister Qinghan, Senior Sister Xuanshuang, and Master, I’ll trouble you to manage the Sacred Land’s affairs for now.”

“Alright.”

Lin Qinghan, as the Vice Holy Master, found it understandable for Lu Changsheng to take a hands-off approach.

Lu Changsheng wasn’t interested in power; his role as Saint Lord was more of an honorary title.

In truth, the Lin Family still managed Mount Taihua Sacred Land.

Even Lin Xuanshuang was a bit surprised, “Being the Saint Lord seems quite easy for you.”

Lu Changsheng smiled faintly, “If Senior Sister Xuanshuang wishes to become Saint Lord, I can step down anytime.”

“No, I’m also one who enjoys a carefree life.”

Lin Xuanshuang appeared to be a person of peaceful nature; otherwise, she wouldn’t have left the Sacred Land and let her sister rise in rank.

“Xiaoyao, please make a trip to the Heavenly Master Sect to obtain the Celestial Exorcism Talisman’s mnemonic verse.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t forget to remind Shen Xiaoyao.

The Heavenly Master Sect’s sect-protecting treasure, “Celestial Exorcism Talisman,” was in Shen Xiaoyao’s hands.

If they could acquire the mnemonic verse to activate the Celestial Exorcism Talisman, Shen Xiaoyao’s combat power would significantly increase.

“Yes.”

Shen Xiaoyao also wished to let the Heavenly Master Sect know that the sect-protecting treasure had returned.

Moreover, Shen Xiaoyao wanted to return to the Heavenly Master Sect to see how things were going.
