Chapter 370: Chapter 316: Junior Brother, What Are You Talking About? (4K)_2
With her realm, all below Loose Immortals were mere ants.
Only Lu Changsheng's disciple, Xiao Fan, caught her attention.
The War Heaven Tyrant Body was an ancient special constitution, furthermore a body of a Martial Cultivator, even a Daluo Golden Immortal had some knowledge of it.
"This child should be able to enter the top four,"
"The aptitude of this child is not bad, if he grows up smoothly, it's highly likely he will reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm, with a small chance of challenging the Daluo Golden Immortal."
"Wanting to become a Daluo Golden Immortal, how could it be that simple? Apart from aptitude, it also depends on fate, cultivation technique, and even enlightenment. How many people of great talent stop at the Heavenly Immortal Realm and Earth Immortal Realm, with no hope of becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal for their whole life?"
The four protectors and a group of Supreme Elders were all discussing animatedly.
These Loose Immortals, who had cultivated for tens of thousands of years, had astute and sharp insights, and they immediately saw that Xiao Fan's aptitude was extraordinary.
Their judgment was not wrong, Xiao Fan finally entered the finals, defeated one of the protector's direct disciples, and claimed first place.
"Protector Zhao, your direct disciple seems not so impressive, actually losing to the disciple of the disciple of the Temple Master,"
Protector Han looked at another protector, whose face wore an unpleasant expression.
The disciple nurtured by Elder Lu overcame his disciple.
Elder Lu was merely an Earth Immortal after all.
In this way, wasn't it showing that his ability to mentor as a protector was not even as good as Elder Lu?
Protector Zhao snorted coldly, "Han Jie, the disciple of mine who lost is just a junior disciple I took on recently. Your carefully nurtured eldest disciple, Sun Peng, might have to face Elder Lu in the Earth Immortal Realm competition soon, don't end up losing to him then, or it will be your face that can't be saved."
Protector Han was unmoved, "My eldest disciple has reached great accomplishment in the Earth Immortal Realm, almost invincible within it, how could he possibly lose to someone who hasn't even attained great accomplishment in the Earth Immortal Realm?"
Xiao Fan returned to Elder Lu's side, amid envious glances from many disciples.
He obtained the top position in the Dao Unification Group, earning three hundred years of Jade Dragon Spiritual Qi—a fortune that many disciples of Jing Long Immortal Temple could not obtain.
"Good."
Elder Lu felt even more amazed by the extraordinary qualities of the War Heaven Tyrant Body as Xiao Fan obtained the first place in the Dao Unification Group of the densely populated Jing Long Immortal Temple.
"Ahem, the competition for the Earth Immortal section is starting. In total, seventy-two people have registered."
Chu Bukuang announced the list of participants for the Earth Immortal group.
There were more than seventy-two Earth Immortals in the Jing Long Immortal Temple, but only those who were confident of entering the top four had registered, thus only seventy-two Earth Immortals were participating in the competition.
Those at the preliminary Earth Immortal level had almost no hope of entering the top four.
Only those who had reached great accomplishment in the Earth Immortal Realm could hope to enter the top four.
"The first match-up, Sun Peng against Elder Lu,"
Chu Bukuang announced the competitors for the first match-up.
As soon as Chu Bukuang's words fell, some elders and disciples of Jing Long Immortal Temple were already astir.
"Sun Peng is Protector Han's direct eldest disciple, touted as our Jing Long Immortal Temple's number one in the Earth Immortal Realm, with an eighty percent chance of advancing to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. I didn't expect the Temple Master's newly-accepted junior disciple to face Sun Peng right off the bat. It seems he will be stopped in the first round."
"To be eliminated in the first round as the direct disciple of the Temple Master, will embarrass the Temple Master with a lack of glory. It would have been better not to participate at all. Now he's going to lose face."
Some of the elders of Jing Long Immortal Temple knew that Sun Peng's cultivation was extremely high, his strength no less than that of the Old Demon of Li Mountain, who appeared in Tianyang City, and Elder Lu, even with Yan Zhiqiu's help, was no match for the Old Demon, so how could he be a match for Han's chief eldest disciple?

"Junior Brother, you should forfeit. You are not his opponent yet. As long as the green hills are there, there's no need to worry about firewood. With your aptitude, even without Jade Dragon Spiritual Qi, you can quickly advance to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, or even become a Daluo Golden Immortal,"
Shangguan Zhao'er advised Elder Lu.
In her view, it was truly unlucky that Elder Lu had to face Protector Han's chief eldest disciple Sun Peng in the first round.
In this situation, the best strategy was to choose to give up.
"I wish to give it a try,"
Elder Lu wanted to see what level his combat power was at.
Elder Lu's Innate Taoist Body allowed him to practice higher-level cultivation techniques in advance, and with the returns of various Ultimate Treasures and Immortal Pills from the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, Elder Lu's combat power was not consistent with his realm—he could fight across levels!
"Junior Brother, didn't you say you remembered what I told you?"
Shangguan Zhao'er was anxious; why was this person so obstinate?
"I do remember what Sister said, but I didn't say I would definitely listen. Please rest assured, Sister, I have some confidence,"
Elder Lu knew Shangguan Zhao'er had his best interests in heart, but Shangguan Zhao'er didn't fully understand Elder Lu's capabilities and reserves.
A thousand years of Jade Dragon Spiritual Qi, Elder Lu had no intention of letting it slip by.
"You..."
Shangguan Zhao'er, clever and quick-witted, had no rebuttal.
This man was too independent.
How certain are you, exactly? What percentage of certainty?
What if Sun Peng plays dirty and cripples Lu Changsheng's cultivation, or even harbors a killing intent—what then?
"If you're in danger, even if it means breaking the rules of the competition, I'll find a way to save you. But in a clash between Earth Immortals, if it happens in a flash, I'm afraid I will be powerless to help. You must be careful."
Shangguan Zhao'er knew that Lu Changsheng probably had his own plans, so she reminded him one last time.
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
Lu Changsheng had the Merit Treasure Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda and the mid-grade Ultimate Treasure Myriad Dragon Armor, and he cultivated the Immortal Divine Art, the Three Thousand Demon Gods Visualization, and the Law of Heaven and Earth, so he truly wasn't afraid that Sun Peng could kill him.
"He still took the stage..."
The Temple Master of Jing Long Immortal Temple sat in the main seat, originally thinking that Lu Changsheng would most likely forfeit, but Lu Changsheng ultimately chose to face the challenge head-on.
This made her admire the disciple even more.
Protector Han said with a sinister tone, "Temple Master, my disciple is determined to win the first place in the Earth Immortal group. If he accidentally defeats the Temple Master's disciple, I hope the Temple Master won't take it to heart."
The Temple Master of Jing Long Immortal Temple did not respond.
Protector Han, used to being overbearing within the sect and always at odds with her, spoke brazenly.
It was only the backing of an ancient and prestigious family behind Protector Han that kept her from losing her temper.
Lu Changsheng stepped onto the Martial Arts Platform, facing off against Sun Peng.
"I didn't expect you to actually have the guts to spar with me. You truly don't know whether to live or die. Let me show you the strength of an accomplished Earth Immortal."
Sun Peng made no effort to hide his fearsome cultivation. The terrifying aura swept across the surroundings, like a whirlwind sweeping away fallen leaves and pulling up withered trees.
The Great Accomplishment of the Earth Immortal Realm, and a step away from the Heavenly Immortal Realm!
Most elders and disciples of Jing Long Immortal Temple changed their expressions.
Sun Peng was too strong, only one step away from becoming a Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
"Elder Sun is indeed the foremost Earth Immortal realm cultivator of our Jing Long Immortal Temple, such an aura, truly startling and extraordinary."
"Lu Changsheng is bound to be defeated."
Everyone was not optimistic about Lu Changsheng.
Sun Peng was the favorite to win first place in the Earth Immortal group.
"Kid, if you can win, I, Chu Bukuang, will truly be convinced."
Chu Bukuang, who had once instructed Lu Changsheng in the cultivation of the Divine Skill Law of Heaven and Earth, had seen Lu Changsheng's astonishing cultivation speed.
Despite everyone's discouragement of Lu Changsheng, Chu Bukuang, for some reason, actually looked forward to Lu Changsheng creating a miracle.
"Buzz!"
Lu Changsheng brought out the mid-grade Ultimate Treasure, Absolute Immortal Sword.
The peerlessly ferocious sword broke free from its scabbard, soaring into the sky. Invisible killing intent condensed into visible sword light, stirring the winds and clouds, contending with Sun Peng's aura.
With Lu Changsheng's realm improving and his True Qi growing more profound, he wielded the mid-grade Ultimate Treasure, the Absolute Immortal Sword, with even greater ease.
"This is a mid... mid-grade Ultimate Treasure!"
"Elder Lu actually has a mid-grade Ultimate Treasure!"
The elders and disciples of Jing Long Immortal Temple were astonished.
An ordinary Earth Immortal might not even possess a low-grade Ultimate Treasure, yet Lu Changsheng had brought out a mid-grade Ultimate Treasure!
"You do have some tricks up your sleeve, but my master has already taken this into account."
Sun Peng extended his right hand, and a sword case appeared in his palm.
"Seal, release!"
Sun Peng recited the mnemonic verse, and the talismans sealing the sword case fell off, releasing intense sword Qi that ascended and twisted space itself.
"Another mid-grade Ultimate Treasure!"
The elders and disciples of Jing Long Immortal Temple were shaken once more.
In a duel between Earth Immortal realm elders, two mid-grade Ultimate Treasures had appeared!
"Not good, that's Protector Han's mid-grade Ultimate Treasure 'Fire Qilin Sword', a supreme Immortal Sword forged with the blood of a Fire Qilin, no less powerful than your Absolute Immortal Sword. Without the advantage of a treasure, he can suppress you with his realm. Disciple, perhaps it's better to concede for now."
Shangguan Zhao'er recognized the mid-grade Ultimate Treasure used by Sun Peng and warned Lu Changsheng again.
Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, became even more excited, "This is what makes it interesting."
Shangguan Zhao'er was stunned.
What on earth is my junior brother talking about?
