Chapter 1274: Chapter 779: Saint Zou in Shock
“Ah, Saint Zou…”
Lu Changsheng knew that the East Sea Academy had four Upper Doctors, each a Saint in the Immortal Realm.
Saint Zou ranked second among the four Upper Doctors.
His personal intervention indicated the dire situation in the Dongli Dynasty.
“The Dongli Dynasty has billions of mortals; if they are refined by the Blood Sea Palace, the consequences would be unimaginable. The Blood Sea Palace relies on slaughtering living beings to constantly grow stronger; if this continues, their power will increase, and they will eventually dominate the entire eastern Immortal Realm…”
“I will accompany you to Broken Sword Pass.”
Nangong Ji was about to use his persuasive skills to convince Lu Changsheng to go to Broken Sword Pass, but Lu Changsheng agreed straightforwardly.
“This is wonderful!”
Nangong Ji’s return not only brought him back alive but also secured external reinforcements. If Saint Zou and the Crown Prince knew of this, they would be overjoyed.
“The person refining the West Qi Dynasty’s blood sea—what’s their background?”
On the way, Lu Changsheng inquired about the Blood Sea Palace from Nangong Ji.
According to Lu Changsheng’s knowledge, the Hall Master of the Blood Sea Palace was extremely mysterious, respected even by Demon Lords of the Demon Realm.
The Blood Sea Palace had several Vice Hall Masters, each an Ancient Great Power, overseeing Hall Masters below. The individual halls had protectors, elders, and disciples, and almost all demon chiefs in the Immortal Realm had pledged allegiance to the Blood Sea Palace, posing dangers even to the holy lands of the human clan.
Another major demon sect, the Evil Extreme Sect, had fewer members than the Blood Sea Palace but attracted heretic cultivators with peculiar personalities, some possessing great power.
The Blood Sea Palace was using the Three Realms catastrophe to refine living beings and enhance their strength.
If the strength of the Blood Sea Palace could be weakened, Lu Changsheng was willing to intervene.
Nangong Ji’s expression became serious: “The one who destroyed the West Qi Dynasty, the hall master of the Blood Sea Palace, has a substantial background…”
At Broken Sword Pass, eighty thousand human experts of the Dongli Dynasty rested, ready for battle, emitting powerful auras everywhere.
Emperor Dongli presented treasures accumulated over billions of years to the cultivators of the Dongli Dynasty, who, grateful to Emperor Dongli, were willing to assist in guarding the pass.
Located on the Vast Island in the eastern Immortal Realm, the East Sea Academy had annual offerings from the Dongli Dynasty, which also selected outstanding youths every year to send to the East Sea Academy for mentorship, thus maintaining close relations between the Dongli Dynasty and the East Sea Academy.
Now, with the Dongli Dynasty in crisis, the East Sea Academy dispatched Saint Zou and five thousand disciples of Earth Immortal Realm and above to aid the Dongli Dynasty.
Saint Zou drafted mystical writing with the Supreme Treasure, each stroke infused with Magnificent Righteous Qi, vigorous and powerful, the pen strokes deeply engraved.
“Sir, are you preparing for the upcoming confrontation with Blood Sea Palace?”
The Crown Prince saw Saint Zou’s manuscript filled with ancient characters.
If it were just writing, mortals could do it too.
However, each ancient character was imbued with Saint Zou’s Magnificent Righteous Qi, creating an unparalleled great formation with such an array of ancient characters.
“I was fortunate enough to observe the Suppressing Evil Stele of the Qing Emperor back then, and after billions of years, I finally comprehended the ’Divine Stele Evil Suppression Scroll,’ totaling ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine characters, now just one line remains.”
Saint Zou added the final line to the ’Divine Stele Evil Suppression Scroll’.
Each character was infused with a great amount of Magnificent Righteous Qi, grand and imposing.
Despite Saint Zou’s consummate cultivation, the effort required to inscribe this final line caused him to sweat profusely, drenching his Confucian robe.
Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine ancient characters were completed by Saint Zou over millions of years.
Saint Zou breathed a sigh of relief.
This scroll was equivalent to a talisman with boundless mana.
The only drawback was that it took millions of years to prepare and could only be used once.
Not unless absolutely necessary, Saint Zou would not easily resort to using this scroll.
“My father once told me that the four Upper Doctors of the East Sea Academy were supreme talents in the Confucian Sect, unequaled in skill. Seeing it firsthand today, it is indeed true.”
The Crown Prince, inheriting most of Emperor Dongli’s bloodline and possessing a special constitution, still felt somewhat inferior to Saint Zou.
Saint Zou sealed the manuscript with Magnificent Righteous Qi and put it away, shaking his head repeatedly: “My aptitude is far inferior to Palace Master Yan. She is the true prodigy of the Confucian Sect… Oh? Zihuai has returned.”
Saint Zou’s indifferent expression turned excited with a hint of surprise.
A spirited Confucian scholar landed on the dominant city of Broken Sword Pass, the Flying Sword returning to the sheath at his waist: “Sir, the journey was full of peril but ultimately safe.”
“Great, great, great. Not long ago, I calculated you would face danger en route and regretted sending you to the West Qi Dynasty. Now that you have returned safely, it couldn’t be better.”
“Indeed, disciple was pursued by the Blood Sea Palace during the journey, but fortune smiled upon me with salvation from a noble person.”
“Was it you who saved my disciple?”
Seeing his disciple Nangong Ji returning safely, Saint Zou, pleased, scrutinized those accompanying Nangong Ji to Broken Sword Pass.
From the Crown Prince of the Dongli Dynasty to the guards at the pass, all looked intently at them.
“This group is no ordinary…”
The Dongli Crown Prince, a Great Expert, observed with insight far beyond that of a mere lad like Nangong Ji, perceiving the extraordinary nature of Lu Changsheng and his disciples even though they were concealing their aura.
“Zihuai, who are these people?”
Saint Zou naturally discerned that Lu Changsheng and the others were intentionally concealing their aura, like wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Nangong Ji replied: “This is Master Lu Changsheng of the Tai Hua Holy Land.”
“You are Lu Changsheng?!”
Saint Zou, the Crown Prince, and the many experts present were all shocked.
The name Lu Changsheng was renowned!
This was the supreme prodigy who defeated Emperor Ku at the Heavenly Court conference!
Unexpectedly, they met the foremost prodigy of the Three Realms here!
“Now, our Dongli Dynasty is in dire straits; we ask Lord Lu to help us defend Broken Sword Pass. In the future, our Dongli Dynasty will not forget this great favor.”
Upon learning that the newcomer was the foremost prodigy of the Three Realms, the Crown Prince immediately invited Lu Changsheng to stay.
This was the foremost prodigy of the Three Realms.
Even if Lu Changsheng wasn’t a Great Expert, he was a Greatly Accomplished God-King; along with his disciples, their strength equated to that of a great power.
“I came to Broken Sword Pass indeed to assist in its defense.”
“That is wonderful!”
The Crown Prince, receiving help from both Saint Zou and Lu Changsheng’s groups, was overjoyed.
Saint Zou scrutinized Lu Changsheng for a while, sensing he wasn’t as simple as he appeared: “May I ask, Friend Lu, are you now a First Grade Divine King?”
“I recently succeeded in passing my tribulation.”
The Crown Prince echoed: “Lord Lu truly deserves to be the foremost prodigy of the Three Realms, achieving First Grade Divine… What?! Ninth Grade Great Expert!”
The Crown Prince, speaking out, suddenly realized Lu Changsheng was already a Ninth Grade Great Expert, rendering him speechless with amazement.
How could Lu Changsheng have reached the Ninth Grade Great Expert so swiftly? Equating with their status!
“Hiss…”
Saint Zou considered Palace Master Yan’s aptitude as praiseworthy, yet it seemed inferior when compared to Lu Changsheng.
