Chapter 152

Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a vast amount of cultivation foundation!

Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Scripture of Non-Action!

Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Nine-Star Emperor Armament, the Heaven-Swallowing Mystic Jar!

Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a heaven-earth marvel, the Sky-Piercing Mystic Powder!

Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained an Eight-Star Emperor Experience Card!

The voice sounded!

A surge of incomparably pure spiritual energy poured into Lu Xuan's body, striking him like a vast sea, like mountains overturning and seas overturning, his inner world rang with a true roar.

This tingling numbness grew even more terrifying; Lu Xuan felt his body and mind undulating, as if reaching a climax-like peak experience.

Lu Xuan's cultivation began to surge uncontrollably!

Saint King Realm!

Half-Emperor Realm!

Finally he directly entered the Quasi-Emperor realm!

Lu Xuan slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid qi, feeling himself become immensely powerful.

This is the true Quasi-Emperor realm, not dependent on the experience card.

His divine sense was as thick as a river, flowing outward in all directions, allowing him to clearly see everything in this heaven and earth.

Now he is a Quasi-Emperor, coupled with an invincible posture, he can cross a major realm and instantly kill; he can instantly kill a One-Star Emperor!

Whether it is the early stage of a One-Star Emperor or the late stage, great perfection!

Invincible posture, treating all equally!

Lu Xuan clenched his fist, power surging on his fist; he felt that with this punch, Chen Zhangsheng's cave dwelling would directly collapse and be obliterated, turning into ruins.

This is the power of a Quasi-Emperor!

Beside him, Chen Zhangsheng saw Lu Xuan's abnormal state, slightly furrowed his brows, "Lu Xuan Dao-friend... Master, Master, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Xuan wore an expression of enjoyment, smiling as he said, "I'm fine."

Chen Zhangsheng nodded, then at the side began to observe.

Lu Xuan carefully examined his body, finding it strange that although he had entered the Quasi-Emperor realm, his inner world remained pitch black, like a dark abyss, like a dim omen star.

Lu Xuan pursed his lips.

Know that his eldest disciple Ji Fuyao and second disciple Ye Chen's inner worlds are magnificently splendid, like a vast domain, like a newborn star, their Dao foundations crystal clear and radiant.

Compared to his, there is a heaven-and-earth difference.

However, Lu Xuan did not dwell on these.

Obviously, he could only increase his cultivation while lying down.

Self-cultivation?

It doesn't exist.

With a thought, Lu Xuan felt a trace of "Dao" and "rhyme" surge from his body, precisely the power of the Great Dao Scripture, Heaven-Burning Decision, and Wilderness Heaven Secret.

In the Quasi-Emperor realm, one must forge one's own Dao.

Lu Xuan now also has his own "Dao", originating from his disciples yet surpassing them!

After a moment.

Lu Xuan gathered his mind and began to examine the Scripture of Non-Action.

Nine-Star Emperor Tier cultivation method!

Lu Xuan's divine sense entered the jade slip of the Scripture of Non-Action, and immediately he saw its secret techniques.

"The Way of Non-Action is the non-action of the Dao. Non-action yet there is action; action is also non-action. To act through non-action, to do things through non-action, to do things through non-action..."

Lu Xuan felt it profoundly mysterious.

His brain felt itchy.

However, Lu Xuan quickly realized this is a deficient cultivation method, its content incomplete.

Although deficient, its great meaning is already present.

Obviously, this was tailor-made for Chen Zhangsheng!

The Way of Non-Action, distancing from cause and effect, can also lead to longevity.

Upon thinking of this.

Lu Xuan smiled and glanced at Chen Zhangsheng.

His mental state is completely opposite to Chen Zhangsheng's.

Lu Xuan feels refreshed upon happy events, while Chen Zhangsheng is like drawing a sword to cut sorrow, only making sorrow greater.

His happiness is built upon Chen Zhangsheng's sorrow...

Beside him, Chen Zhangsheng wore a gloomy expression, looking at Lu Xuan, silent and speechless.

He has not yet emerged from the state of having become a disciple.

He is clearly a carefree wanderer of Nan Huang, yet now he has become Lu Xuan's disciple!

He wants to be quiet.

However, Chen Zhangsheng knows that in worldly affairs, only fate lies in the unseen.

During the three-day duel of spells with Lu Xuan, he also secretly deduced.

The divination obtained showed that his and Lu Xuan's master-disciple destiny has been formed!

This is also why, in the end, he did not engage in a great battle with Lu Xuan.

This is the guidance of the Heavenly Dao!

Since the Martial Emperor's secret realm began, he has fallen into the unseen power of the Heavenly Dao.

Although he has been a lone cultivator these years, he has also been greatly favored by the Heavenly Dao; otherwise, how could he wander freely in Nan Huang?

Chen Zhangsheng kept sighing in his heart.

Lu Xuan looked at Chen Zhangsheng's appearance, gave a light smile, and said nothing.

Continue checking the system rewards!

He looked toward the system space's "Heaven-Swallowing Profound Jar".

Nine-Star Imperial Weapon!

"What a familiar name." He murmured, "What use does this imperial weapon have?"

The system immediately gave an explanation: "Heaven-Swallowing Profound Jar, Nine-Star Imperial Weapon, swallows heaven and earth, devours imperial weapons, devours living beings. Moreover, the Heaven-Swallowing Profound Jar is not an ordinary Nine-Star Imperial Weapon! It also has a special function, capable of containing strange power and ominous power."

Lu Xuan was slightly stunned.

It can contain strange power and ominous power!

He once used the Imperial Weapon Grand Dao Lock to absorb the strange power within Ye Chen's body.

But that was only a One-Star Imperial Weapon!

Lu Xuan extended his divine sense, probing into the interior of the Heaven-Swallowing Profound Jar; his divine sense quickly vanished within its inner space.

Inside, it embraces all, vast and boundless.

Just don't know how much strange power and ominous power it can hold.

Next, Lu Xuan again began to examine heavenly and earthly marvels, Heaven-Reaching Profound Powder.

The system space held a whole large basin!

Lu Xuan asked, "What use does this thing have?"

The system explained, "Heaven-Reaching Profound Powder is the essence transmuted from thirteen flavors of imperial-grade spiritual herbs. Forming Heaven-Reaching Profound Powder has harsh conditions; not only are thirteen kinds of imperial-grade spiritual herbs required, but also an environment containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, and it must undergo tens of thousands of years of evolution to form a small bottle."

Lu Xuan was stunned.

It takes tens of thousands of years to evolve into a small bottle?

But he here actually has a whole large basin!

Lu Xuan smelled a faint fragrance and murmured, "This stuff seems to enhance aroma and freshness. When cooking later, I'll add a bit."

System: "......"

Next, Lu Xuan saw an Eight-Star Great Emperor Experience Card, lasting one day.

Lu Xuan nodded.

Overall, he was very satisfied with this reward.

Next, there's the main event!

Chen Zhangsheng's cultivation and comprehension have not yet been synchronized!

Lu Xuan immediately checked Chen Zhangsheng's system panel.

【Third Disciple: Chen Zhangsheng.

Realm: Second-Star Great Emperor late stage (?)

Techniques: 'Scripture of Crossing People', 'Earth Escape', 'Fire Escape', 'Water Escape'……

Comprehension: Way of Formations, Way of Medicine, Way of Alchemy, Way of Puppets, Way of Talismans, Way of Longevity, Way of Life and Death……】

Seeing this.

Lu Xuan was directly stunned.

Never expected the third disciple to know so much!

Wait a moment.

Why is Chen Zhangsheng only a Second-Star Great Emperor?

What does this 'question mark' mean?

Lu Xuan said to the system, "System, what's going on with the third disciple's realm?"

The system remained silent.

Lu Xuan's face twitched; it seems there is another mystery here!

Obviously, the third brother's realm is certainly not just Second-Star Emperor……

Chen Zhangsheng this kid indeed has a hidden trick.

This is too cowardly, right?

Forget it, don't worry about these details.

At this moment, the system's voice transmitted in Lu Xuan's ear.

"Host, synchronize the third disciple's cultivation?"

Lu Xuan said, "Synchronize!"

The sound fell!

In a boom, vast cultivation reserves, as if the sea inverted, poured directly into Lu Xuan's meridians, like mountains shouting and seas roaring.

Lu Xuan's body slightly trembled.

A mysterious and tingling sensation!

His cultivation began to surge again!

Third-Star Quasi-Emperor!

First-Star Great Emperor!

Second-Star Great Emperor!

……

Finally stopped at Fourth-Star Great Emperor early stage!

Lu Xuan lightly exhaled a breath.

This feeling is too refreshing!

He felt that in his inner world, the power of the Imperial Realm was constantly surging; those 'Dao' and 'Rhyme' emitted brilliant divine radiance, continually flowing through his meridians; even so, his desolate inner world still could not be shown a trace of clue.

Cannot be seen!

Cannot be checked!

Lu Xuan secretly thought, his physique might also be a heaven-defying physique?

But this is no longer important!

Now he is already a Four-Star Emperor, able to instantly kill a Five-Star Emperor!

For a moment, Lu Xuan's heart stirred with waves.

You must know, since accepting Ji Fuyao as a disciple, it has been less than a year.

He went from Qi Refining straight to Four-Star Emperor!

Heaven-defying!

This is still because Chen Zhangsheng's cultivation is somewhat 'weird'; otherwise his realm would be even higher now.

Now he cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

Lu Xuan was in a great mood.

The system transmitted a notification about synchronizing Ji Fuyao's and Ye Chen's cultivation.

At this moment, the insights fed back by the eldest and second disciples were like a light drizzle, flowing into his body, almost imperceptible.

But this is understandable, after all, even the strongest eldest disciple is only an Eight-Star Mystic Saint.

The difference between the Imperial Realm and the Mystic Saint is like heaven and earth.

Lu Xuan secretly thought, it seems he must find a way to quickly raise the realms of the eldest and second disciples.

At this moment.

The system asked again, 'Host, synchronize the third disciple's insights?'

Lu Xuan slightly excitedly said, 'Synchronize!'

The voice fell!

Endless profound insights frenziedly surged into Lu Xuan's mind; it was an indescribable feeling; in his Sea of Divine Sense, beams of light like stars shone brilliantly, constantly surging, spreading outward in mist.

Way of Formations, Way of Puppets, Way of Alchemy, Way of Talismans, Way of Longevity, Way of Life and Death……

There were actually dozens of insights!

Chen Zhangsheng knows just too much!

Moreover, his attainments are all very high!

Moreover, the insights Lu Xuan received doubled instantly, reaching an incredibly terrifying height!

Way of Formations, Way of Puppets, Way of Alchemy…… all have stepped into the Transcendent Realm!

Above Great Completion is the Transcendent Realm.

That is to say, Lu Xuan's current great Dao insights are all top-tier in Nan Huang.

This time, Lu Xuan's gain is simply enormous!

He felt blissful in his heart.

Lu Xuan saw Chen Zhangsheng beside him, smiling and said, 'Zhangsheng, since you have already become my disciple, I will give you a initiation gift.'

Chen Zhangsheng blinked slightly.

Actually, he lacks neither cultivation techniques nor imperial weapons.

He has his own 'Dao'!

Lu Xuan took out the Heaven-Swallowing Mystic Jar and handed it to Chen Zhangsheng, smiling and said, 'Zhangsheng, how do you like this?'

Chen Zhangsheng received it, a flash of strange color in his eyes, 'Nine-Star Imperial Weapon! A supreme treasure of slaughter!'

Lu Xuan smiled faintly and explained, 'Zhangsheng, this is the Heaven-Swallowing Mystic Jar; it can devour imperial weapons, devour living beings, devour heaven and earth. It can also wield strange and unknown powers.'

Chen Zhangsheng slightly shook his head, returning the Heaven-Swallowing Mystic Jar to Lu Xuan, 'Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan, uh... Master, I don't need an imperial weapon.'

This is a slaughter-type imperial weapon, which does not suit him, nor does it match his 'Dao'.

Lu Xuan didn't insist, directly taking out the jade slip of the Book of Wuwei and handing it to Chen Zhangsheng, 'This cultivation method might help you.'

Chen Zhangsheng received the jade slip, probed it with his divine sense, and silently recited the spiritual formula.

In the next instant.

He was instantly stunned.

'The Way of Non-Action: non-action is the Dao. Non-action yet action, action yet non-action. To act through non-action, to do things through non-action, to do things through non-action...'

This is practically tailor-made for him.

The Book of Wuwei expounds precisely the Way of Life and Death, the heavenly principle of the Way of Longevity.

Lu Xuan laughed and said, 'Zhangsheng, in the past you cultivated in Nan Huang, actually following the path of Non-Action, but too superficial.'

Chen Zhangsheng listened carefully.

Lu Xuan explained, 'Non-action is for the sake of action. Do not put the cart before the horse. As cultivators, we have what we should do and what we should not do.'

Chen Zhangsheng fell into thought.

Lu Xuan also said, 'There is also the Way of Cause and Effect; Zhangsheng, you should also consider it. Not being stained by cause and effect is merely the first layer; if one is within cause and effect, being uninvaded by it is key. The peak powerhouses all carry cause and effect forward, for only when one reaches that point does cause and effect become impossible to avoid.'

Chen Zhangsheng suddenly enlightened said, 'Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan... uh, Master, your words are absolutely correct.'

A flash of lightning crossed his mind.

Likewise, the Way of Survival and the Way of Stability, the master is far above him.

Everyone knows Lu Xuan is a good-for-nothing at the Qi Refining stage, but they don't know he is a supreme giant of Nan Huang's peak.

Lu Xuan is in the Great Dao Sect; his eldest disciple is Ji Fuyao, his second disciple Ye Chen is extraordinarily heaven-defying, yet they remain untouched by karma.

Because Lu Xuan's karma slipped onto a nonexistent being.

Not only the Great Dao Sect, but the whole Nan Huang feels that Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen have a powerful expert behind them.

Even if the master reveals himself, even someone as mighty as the Heavenly Origin Old Ancestor wouldn't believe it!

This is the true way of staying hidden, the true steady path.

He wants to learn from the master!

Thinking of this.

Chen Zhangsheng said, "Lu Xuan, fellow Daoist... Master, I want to return to the Great Dao Sect in a few days, how about that?"

Lu Xuan nodded and lightly patted Chen Zhangsheng's shoulder, "Sure. But Changsheng, you also need to change your way of address—you're not a fellow Daoist anymore, you're the master."

Chen Zhangsheng nodded, almost blurting out "Lu Xuan, fellow Daoist" again, "All right... Master."

Lu Xuan smiled faintly.

He understood; Chen Zhangsheng still needed time to adjust.

For a moment, he found it hard to accept.

If he were Chen Zhangsheng, he would surely be cursing in his heart…

A brief silence fell.

Chen Zhangsheng pointed to the nearby cave dwelling, "These days, Master... you can rest in that cave dwelling."

Lu Xuan suddenly asked, "Oh, by the way, there's one more important matter."

Chen Zhangsheng said, "What matter?"

Lu Xuan said, "Can you cook?"

Chen Zhangsheng froze for a moment, "I can't."

Lu Xuan chuckled, "If you can't, just learn. By the way, you can give me those insight jade slips of yours; let me take a look—I might be able to give you some pointers."

……
