Chapter 55 Covering the Sky: The Other Shore is the Land of Ascent, Lu Sheng, a Newcomer to the Yao
Cover the world.
The Lingxu Cave Heaven was filled with joy, because another peerless genius had reached the other shore before the limited age and met the standard to enter the Yao Guang Holy Land.
The sect leader of Dongtian Sect personally came to see him off.
"Lu Sheng, on your journey to the sacred land, do not forget the Spirit Ruins Grotto-heaven. Its gates will always be open for you."
The sect leader sighed, "It seems like only yesterday that I sent Weiwei to the Holy Land. I never imagined that in the blink of an eye, you would have already reached the other shore as well."
"Speaking of which, it was Weiwei who brought you into the cave heaven back then, right? It's only been a little over a year, and as expected, the immortal seedling that came out of the desolate ancient forbidden land is extraordinary."
"The Sacred Fruit Spring truly lives up to its reputation as a treasure coveted even by holy lands. Even if you are just an ordinary mortal, your cultivation speed is probably no weaker than that of the geniuses of major powers."
Lu Sheng humbly replied, "Not at all. Compared to the Holy Son of Yao Guang, I am far inferior. My goal in cultivation is to become the Holy Son of Yao Guang, whom everyone respects. When I go to the Holy Land this time, I will also become a disciple of the Holy Son's lineage."
"Good, good, good. As expected of a cultivator from my Lingxu Cave Heaven, you have ambition." The Lingxu Sect Leader praised him again. From the moment Lu Sheng was confirmed to be recruited by the Yaoguang Holy Land, his status was no less than that of the sect leader.
Given Lu Sheng's current talent, it's a certainty that he will advance to the Dao Palace realm in the future.
Even though Lu Sheng denied that it was all due to the effects of the sacred fruit and divine spring, such opportunities are part of the path of cultivation.
Which of the renowned geniuses of the Beidou Continent hasn't seized an opportunity?
To emerge alive from this desolate and forbidden land is itself a testament to great fortune.
Compared to their aging companions, those who ate the sacred fruit and drank from the divine spring enjoyed even greater prosperity.
Unfortunately, of the original three promising talents, one was possessed and captured by a demon, and the other was rendered useless and unable to cultivate, having already left the celestial realm for the mortal world.
Before his departure, Elder Wu Qingfeng spoke privately with Lu Sheng, offering words of encouragement:
"A virtuous person should possess the ability to transform like a dragon or a snake. I hope you can see a wider world on this journey, and that you will achieve success in your cultivation in the future. Remember to come back and visit."
"This place may not be so good. In recent years, the atmosphere in the cave has become increasingly frivolous. But it's not all bad. We are all trying to get it back on track."
This old man from the grotto was upright in his conduct and a breath of fresh air among cultivators, truly deserving of his name.
Lu Sheng cupped his hands in greeting and replied, "Don't worry, Elder Wu. This journey will surely lead me to the heavens, across the Milky Way, and into the immortal realm. You will have a place in the immortal realm in the future."
Elder Wu Qingfeng laughed heartily: "Good child, I am content with your kind intentions."
"Hurry up and get on your way. When you see Weiwei, remember to say hello for us."
With a welcoming farewell from Lingxu Cave Heaven, Lu Sheng rode a rainbow and flew into the sky, heading towards the Yao Guang Holy Land.
To the Yao Guang Holy Land, cultivators from the other shore are no different from stray dogs on the roadside, so it's impossible for them to send someone specifically to pick them up.
When Lu Sheng arrived at the holy site, he presented his credentials and was led away by someone who had been waiting for him.
They didn't really care about cultivators who came with their own cultivation levels.
But Lu Sheng came out of the desolate forbidden land and ate the sacred fruit and drank the divine spring.
And coincidentally, recently, various major forces have been looking to acquire some valuable items from the desolate and forbidden land.
Soon after, Lu Sheng was brought before an elder who had transformed into a dragon.
The man, dressed in black, sat in a grand chair and slowly spoke upon seeing Lu Sheng arrive:
"I have already heard about your origins from the Lingxu Sect Leader. Now, the Holy Land, together with other powerful families, intends to explore the ancient forbidden land."
"You, and your companions who came out of the desolate forbidden land with you, are very useful to us."
"Of course, exploring forbidden areas is fraught with danger, and I have no reason to hide that from you."
"You have now joined my Yao Guang Holy Land, and the Holy Land will never abandon its disciples so easily."
"I hope you can give your former companions some serious advice: danger and opportunity go hand in hand."
"Lu Sheng, I've heard about you from others within the sect. At the Demon Emperor's tomb, did you mention me, the Holy Son of Yao Guang, at all?"
"If you are willing to do your utmost to complete this task, I can guarantee that you will be able to follow the Holy Son in your future spiritual practice."
Elder Hualong remained calm and composed, slowly narrating a lengthy discourse in an attempt to gain Lu Sheng's cooperation.
Lu Sheng, on the other hand, was much more straightforward:
"Rest assured, Elder, it is an honor for my companions to make sacrifices for the great cause of the Yao Guang Holy Land."
"They were originally just ordinary people from the Western Desert who stumbled into a dangerous place and were then transported to the Eastern Wilderness by the forces of nature."
"To be able to access the holy site is the greatest honor of their lives."
"If they dare to be ungrateful, I will make them know what true kindness and compassion are."
Lu Sheng's eyes gleamed as he cut to the chase, saying, "My admiration for the Holy Son is like a mighty river flowing endlessly. I beg the elders to introduce me to the Holy Son and make sure I can serve him like a slave, dedicating myself to the Yao Guang Sect."
Elder Hualong laughed heartily, very satisfied with Lu Sheng's answer. He praised him, saying:
"In that case, let him first join my Dragon Pattern Peak, for the Holy Son is a descendant of my lineage."
The Yao Guang Holy Land is divided into two major branches: Dragon Pattern Peak and Heavenly Light Peak.
In short, one lineage is inherited from ruthless individuals, while the other is slightly more respectable.
The Holy Son of Yaoguang was supported by the Ruthless lineage. He cultivated the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art and was regarded by the Ruthless lineage as the most promising successor of the demonic arts.
The Ruthless Clan searched far and wide for suitable cultivators to spread the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, and frantically raised Gu worms, intending to cultivate a new Ruthless Great Emperor.
They now consider the Holy Son of Yaoguang to be the Gu King, but if a more outstanding talent emerges, they will betray the Holy Son of Yaoguang.
All for the rise of the Ruthless Daoist tradition.
They dared not act openly because the ruthless lineage was universally condemned.
They could only secretly try to cultivate suitable successors.
Not long after Lu Sheng joined, he received a teaching from the elder of Dragon Pattern Peak, a modified cultivation method for the Sea of Wheels Realm, named the Sacred Cultivation Technique.
Well, it's about the same as the one he's repairing now, but it's a modified version with fewer materials.
"We are indeed like-minded people. I knew this was the Sacred Way Heavenly Art."
Lu Sheng sighed, and after dawdling for a few days, he found someone from the Dragon Pattern Peak lineage and demonstrated his extraordinary cultivation speed.
With the existence of the Seed of the Future, not only can a dragon be transformed, but even a Great Emperor cannot perceive its true nature.
Seeing Lu Sheng display the aura of a Saintly Technique at such a rapid pace, the Ruthless Clan immediately took the matter seriously.
Several versions were released in succession, but in the end, they didn't even bother with the actual performance and just released the uncut version.
The result was self-evident: Lu Sheng was labeled as a high-quality Gu.
Even if Lu Sheng puts in a lot of effort in the future, this lineage will still send protectors to cover up the traces.
To practice martial arts, you need to find a suitable environment.
A good environment can make people progress rapidly.
The ancients are not deceived by me.
After Lu Sheng demonstrated his talent, he was able to consume all the resources in the Yao Guang Holy Land.
In this sacred land, at the Wheel Sea Dao Palace realm, as long as you have outstanding talent, you can eat as much as you want.
