Chapter 56

Time flies swiftly!

In the blink of an eye, five hundred years have passed!!

During these five hundred years, the Changsheng Sect also flourished, its power already spreading across the entire Nine Provinces Continent!!

During this period, Xiao Jue, Liu Yiming, and Luo Qingxue, owing to their innate extraordinary talents, plus the dual pupils and supreme bone granted by Li Zhangsheng!

Over five hundred years, the three have already risen from the peak of the Ultimate Saint Realm all the way to the peak of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, preparing to assault the Emperor Realm, their cultivation speed comparable to a roller coaster!

Of course, the path to Emperor Realm must be walked by themselves!

Li Zhangsheng can only help them as much as possible with external objects, boosting their combat power!

As for the Nether Emperor, over these five hundred years he has made many contributions to the Changsheng Sect.

He has already risen from a gatekeeper role to become the Supreme Elder of the Changsheng Sect!

Moreover, with occasional assistance from Li Zhangsheng and continual contemplation of the Changsheng Sect's Inscription Stele, his cultivation has reached the Sixfold Emperor Realm.

He is now the strongest on the Nine Provinces Continent aside from Li Zhangsheng!

Whenever ordinary disciples of the Changsheng Sect encounter trouble outside, Li Zhangsheng always sends the Nether Emperor to deal with it!!

At the same time, Li Zhangsheng's level increased by another five hundred!

That day, in the Changsheng Sect's secret chamber, a crystal coffin lid suddenly split open!

A middle-aged-looking man in a blue robe walked out of the crystal coffin.

The middle-aged man stretched, his bones crackling, "Ah... that nap was really comfortable!"

The middle-aged man smiled contentedly, then used his divine sense to check his current bodily condition.

"My spirit is full, my qi and blood have returned to peak condition, and most importantly, my looks... have become younger."

"I can go flirt with young married women again, how great!"

The middle-aged man glanced back at the crystal coffin and praised:

"Tsk tsk, this coffin is truly a fine treasure, no wonder it's a treasure brought back by the master!"

This middle-aged man is naturally Yang Xuanyi, who was previously on his deathbed!

Having lain in the coffin for five hundred years, he has also been fully revived, his cultivation reaching the Fivefold Emperor Realm.

Yang Xuanyi used his divine sense to sense the current state of the Changsheng Sect.

"Hmm... a thriving scene, about what he expected."

"Having the master in charge is great; everything develops so naturally." Yang Xuanyi sighed.

Thinking back to when he was the sect's leader...

Ah, never mind!

Talking too much brings tears!

"Huh? Isn't that the Nether Emperor? Why is he at the Changsheng Sect?" Yang Xuanyi's divine sense detected the Nether Emperor.

He had dealt with the Nether Emperor many times before.

"He must have been captured by the master to serve as labor." Yang Xuanyi also figured out what happened.

Previously, Li Zhangsheng liked to capture Emperors to make them laborers in the Changsheng Sect.

"But how did the Nether Emperor's cultivation reach Sixfold Emperor Realm? He's even stronger than me, sigh!" Yang Xuanyi took a deep breath, "How did I fall behind again?"

Swish!

Next, Yang Xuanyi vanished from the spot!

After being fully revived, he naturally needed to pay his respects to Li Zhangsheng right away!

Behind the mountain of the Changsheng Sect!

Li Zhangsheng still lay on the rattan chair in the pavilion.

Although five hundred years have passed.

But for the Changsheng Sect, an ancient monster that has lived over a hundred thousand years, these five hundred years are merely a blink of an eye!

On the stone table of the pavilion, there is a barbecue grill, with the meat sizzling and smoking.

Jiang Yuanqing, the Elder Ancestor of the Jiang family, personally grilled meat for Li Zhangsheng, then poured him wine.

Over these five hundred years, Jiang Yuanqing has often brought liquor and the dragon meat raised by his family to visit Li Zhangsheng at the Changsheng Sect, whether busy or idle.

Over time, the two have become fine drinking-and-meat companions!

Not far above the rear mountain, occasional battle vibrations can be heard.

Those are Xiao Jue, Liu Yiming, and Luo Qingxue practicing their skills against each other!

Yang Xuanyi walked on the flat ground behind the mountain, gazing at the battle vibrations coming from the sky, and nodded, "Not bad, not bad; they've all reached the peak of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, so after some tempering they should be able to assault the Emperor Realm."

Xiao Jue and Luo Qingxue are after all disciples taken by Yang Xuanyi; seeing their achievements now, he also feels quite gratified!

Although the disciples' current achievements seem... not much related to him, after all they are disciples he personally took in, so he naturally feels some pride.

Yang Xuanyi walked to the outside of the pavilion, "Jiang Yuanqing, why have you come to our Changsheng Sect?"

"To accompany the senior for a drink." Jiang Yuanqing looked at Yang Xuanyi and smiled, having long sensed Yang Xuanyi's aura restored,

"I never expected that after sleeping five hundred years, the Mysterious Emperor would become so youthful again—congratulations!"

"I've already poured your wine; come over and drink to celebrate."

Yang Xuanyi nodded and entered the pavilion, first bowing to Li Zhangsheng, "Master!"

Li Zhangsheng looked at Yang Xuanyi and joked, "Awake? Your state recovered well, and you've become younger again—looks like the young married women of the Nine Provinces Continent are about to be defiled again."

"Hehe, master, don't slander me." Yang Xuanyi smacked his lips,

"I've decided from now on to turn over a new leaf."

"From now on I'll focus my mind on cultivation, striving to attain the Dao and immortal fruit as soon as possible!"

Li Zhangsheng smiled without speaking, knowing Yang Xuanyi's character well, "Sit down, your wine has already been poured."

Yang Xuanji chuckled, looking at the barbecue on the stone table, "Tsk tsk tsk, dragon meat—I haven't tasted this in ages."

Speaking, Yang Xuanji sat down, eating and drinking heartily a few mouthfuls.

"Xiao Jue, Qingxue, your master has awakened." Li Zhangsheng said leisurely to the empty air.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the next instant, Xiao Jue, Luo Qingxue, and Liu Yiming appeared outside the pavilion.

Seeing Yang Xuanji much younger, the three couldn't help but be startled.

"Greetings, Master!!"

Xiao Jue and Luo Qingxue bowed respectfully to Yang Xuanji.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad—each of you has gained a supreme bone and a double pupil." Yang Xuanji sized them up, "Was it the Owner who had them transplanted onto you?"

"Yes, Master."

Xiao Jue and Luo Qingxue nodded!

"Wow, Elder Ancestor Yang, you're surprisingly handsome when you're young." Liu Yiming said then—this kid sure knows how to talk.

"Oh? A brat from the Liu Yun Sect?" Hearing Liu Yiming's words, Yang Xuanji also felt pleased, "How did you end up in our Longevity Sect?"

"Elder Ancestor Yang, I've already joined the Longevity Sect." Liu Yiming said.

"When did you join?"

"Five hundred years ago."

"How about it, are the benefits of our Longevity Sect okay?"

"No need to say—look at my gear now, all rewards from the Sect Master."

"Hahaha……"

Everyone chatted and laughed!

……

Boom!

That day, a rainbow of unknown origin, its diameter tens of thousands of times larger than the Nine Provinces Continent, streaked from somewhere and pierced through all heavens and myriad worlds!

Rosy light illuminated all heavens and myriad worlds!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Suddenly, three ancient, resonant bell tones rang out, shaking apart every corner of all heavens and myriad worlds!!

All beings in all heavens and myriad worlds raised their heads and gazed upward!!

"Millions of epochs, the immortal path opens, the chance to become an immortal lies within……"

An ancient, deep voice from somewhere unknown rang out like a distant bell, echoing throughout all heavens and myriad worlds!

For a moment, all realms of the heavens boiled over……
