On Zenith Land’s main peak.
Lu Changsheng kept staring at the Pagoda of Heaven and Earth in his hand.
It took him several days to figure out the details.
The pagoda could absorb spiritual air on its own, but the process would need a month to collect enough power and partially activate the pagoda.
In other words, Lu Changsheng could only use the pagoda once in a month.
Although Lu Changsheng didn’t have a chance to test it, he was certain that the prowess it displayed would be extremely destructive.
But… what level of cultivators can the pagoda kill?
Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but think to himself.
Which was why he had the idea to try it on a mountain.
On second thought, if the power was too strong for him to handle, it would place him in great trouble.
Hence, Lu Changsheng got rid of this dangerous idea.
However, all in all, Lu Changsheng was extremely lucky that he obtained another treasure.
Since it was mainly for defense. Lu Changsheng really liked it.
He actually preferred a treasure for defense rather than a weapon. As a Qi Refining cultivator, there was nothing he could do with a powerful sword anyways.
He wouldn’t even be able to exert one tenth of its power. This meant that the weapon would be totally useless to Lu Changsheng.
There was a saying that was quite good, what suits you is the best.
A defensive Dharma treasure was totally different. It didn’t matter if Lu Changsheng could awaken it or not, he could simply hide himself in the pagoda anytime he wanted.
The days went by with Lu Changsheng being very occupied by himself.
As long as he had time, he would read books. Before he set off on his journey, he wanted to read as much as he could.
It never hurt to read a lot after all.
Before he transmigrated to this world, he also read a lot of books, this was the main reason why he knew Tao Te Ching.
He would read all kinds of books, which included—
How to Successfully Play Dead
Don’t Eat These Foods. Otherwise!
Unbelievable! A Qi Refining Cultivator Should Avoid Drinking Boiled Water! It’s Too Hot!
How to Dodge Embarrassing Questions From Senior Family Members
…
Although some of them looked very ridiculous, Lu Changsheng firmly believed that it was always a good thing to read more.
Besides reading, Lu Changsheng also checked on the pills. Meanwhile, he also needed to practice Daoist spells.
Finally, the day came when he was about to set off.
The Ethereal Land, in the Zenith Palace.
Perfected Qing Yun and Lu Changsheng were alone in the palace.
“Changsheng, you will go tomorrow. As your teacher, it’s really hard for me to see you leave,” Perfected Qing Yun’s tone sounded sad.
Lu Changsheng bowed to his master and said, “Master, since you’re so reluctant to part with me, I shouldn’t leave. It’s better for me to stay here and accompany you.”
Lu Changsheng’s answer was so unexpected. For a second, Perfected Qing Yun was speechless.
He was just being polite, however, Lu Changsheng was unexpectedly direct.
“Changsheng, I don’t want you to leave. But whenever heaven invests a person with great responsibilities, it always toughens his muscles and bones with toil. You were born special, which is why there are some things you have to do. I don’t want this, but for the world, I have to accept it.” Perfected Qing Yun finally came up with a euphemistic way of rejecting him.
“Master, I still have one single request. I wonder if…” Lu Changsheng said.
“Go ahead. You don’t need to say just one request, even if it’s ten, as your teacher, I’ll agree,” Perfected Qing Yun responded quickly.
“Can I wait for another ten years before I go? Or maybe eight years?” Lu Changsheng asked.
Perfected Qing Yun, “…”
Although the outside world was dangerous, but ever since the righteous sects started thriving, encountering evil beasts or demons was extremely rare. Perfected Qing Yun really couldn’t understand why Lu Changsheng was extremely reluctant to go.
“Changsheng, I know you’re very prudent, but as a young cultivator, I still want you to have the Heart of Invincibility. Otherwise, you’d really lose all your confidence! If you were still at the Gold Core or Nascent Soul stage, I could understand your concerns, but you have already reached the Soul Formation stage, right?
“Changsheng, tell me which stage you already reached. I want the truth!” Qing Yun asked him earnestly.
“I’m in the middle stage of Qi Refining!” Lu Changsheng responded with a serious tone.
However, as soon as Lu Changsheng finished these words, Perfected Qing Yun immediately sighed and said, “Changsheng, even though I can give everything I have to you, but you’re still not willing to tell the truth. This is so disappointing.” Perfected Qing Yun’s tone in his voice was rather sad.
The light in his eyes dimmed. When he turned his back against Lu Changsheng, the view of his back looked lonely and depressed.
“Master, I’m not lying!” Lu Changsheng really couldn’t understand why nobody believed him.
Perfected Qing Yun simply responded with a sigh.
Soon after, Lu Changsheng also sighed with reluctance.
“That’s right. I’ve reached the Tribulation Transcendence stage!” Lu Changsheng said.
Perfected Qing Yun immediately turned around and exclaimed with joy, “I knew it! You’re indeed my favorite student! Good! Very good! I have a student who can carry on with my cause!”
The Perfected Qing Yun had on his face was extremely bright.
Lu Changsheng, however, could only sigh again.
He could understand the manners and morals of the time.
When one’s appearance reaches a certain level, no matter what the person did, people’s preconceived ideas toward that very person couldn’t be changed.
These ideas were like heavy mountains that were impossible to be moved by any effort.
Once Lu Changsheng left the Zenith Palace. he left in disappointment.
This damn world was one where the only thing mattered was one’s appearance.
Bah!
Since he was leaving tomorrow, Lu Changsheng still needed to do some last-minute preparations.
A thousand glazed diamond pills, a thousand Fire Phoenix True Blood Pills, a thousand Enlightenment Pills, and a thousand Blissful Death Demon-Conquering Pills.
Lu Changsheng had to say that Li Chun was requite reliable. His requirements had been perfectly met.
With these pills, the Level-twelve Cyan Lotus, and the Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, Lu Changsheng finally gained some sense of security.
Although he tended to be very cautious, he was mortally afraid of death.
If he was really in jeopardy, he didn’t mind giving up his dignity to survive.
Once he left the Zenith Land, he had two routes to choose.
The route which was previously decided was almost known to everyone.
However, the secret route on the other hand was known only by Lu Changsheng and Perfected Qing Yun. It was completely different from the other route, but could still direct Lu Changsheng to all the places he needed to visit.
Perfected Qing Yun gave Lu Changsheng the official document needed. Lu Changsheng’s identity could then be validated based on the document and the Zenith Token Amulet.
It would be extremely hard for one to succeed if the person tried to impersonate Lu Changsheng.
When Lu Changsheng was carefully preparing everything, he suddenly received a visitor.
It was Zi Yun!
