Chapter 398: Chapter 330: Returning, the Demon Sects' Ultimate Treasure! (4K)_2
```
With her cultivation of a Daluo Golden Immortal, she still felt unease.
Qingyue Fairy and a group of elders left the great hall and looked towards the direction where the Demonic Qi had appeared, which happened to be the Daoist Temple where Lu Changsheng was cultivating.
Chu Bukuang said, "This must be the disturbance caused by the new disciple Lu Changsheng has taken on. It has only been three hundred years, yet he is about to step into the Earth Immortal Realm. This disciple comes from the Demon Sects, and his background is probably not that simple."
Qingyue Fairy fell into contemplation, "This demonic energy is extraordinary, extremely pure... Pass on my decree: no one is to reveal to outsiders that we at Jing Long Immortal Temple have this disciple."
The numerous elders shuddered, "As you command."
"Changsheng, take your disciple to the designated place for Tribulation and shield the Demonic Qi."
Qingyue Fairy realized that Dugu Aotian had an extraordinary origin and knew that the fewer people who knew about Dugu Aotian cultivating in Jinglong Mountain, the better.
"The disciple is about to step into the Heavenly Immortal Realm; please, Master, also help protect the law in the process."
Lu Changsheng received the transmission from Qingyue Fairy. As it happened, Lu Changsheng was already at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm and could step into the Heavenly Immortal Realm at any time.
With a protector like Qingyue Fairy, a Daluo Golden Immortal, Lu Changsheng didn't have to worry about being disturbed by others.
"So soon?"
Qingyue Fairy hadn't expected that after cultivating in Jinglong Mountain for over two thousand years, Lu Changsheng's realm had reached the peak of the Earth Immortal, ready to ascend to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
"You all go back to your cultivation."
Qingyue Fairy instructed the numerous elders of Jing Long Immortal Temple to go back to their cultivation, while she herself took her sword to protect Lu Changsheng during his Tribulation.
In the Tribulation Field of Jinglong Mountain, both master Lu Changsheng and disciple Dugu Aotian were getting ready for their Tribulations.
Lu Changsheng bestowed upon Dugu Aotian an "Ascension Pill."
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Dugu Aotian with an eleventh-grade Elixir Pill "Ascension Pill," and received a five thousand times return reward from your Discipleship: a thirteenth-grade Elixir Pill "Human Immortal Pill."]
[Human Immortal Pill: A thirteenth-grade Immortal Pill, used before breaking through the Earth Immortal Realm or facing the Twelvefold Heavenly Tribulation, allows one to glimpse the Heavenly Immortal Realm and increases the success rate of passing the Tribulation.]
Lu Changsheng obtained a Purple Gold Bagua Gourd, inside of which was the precious thirteenth-grade Immortal Pill, "Human Immortal Pill."
Such an Elixir Pill was enough to bankrupt a small sect.
Dugu Aotian took the lead in facing the Tribulation, activating his Demonic Cultivation Skills, his Demonic Qi filling the sky.
Qingyue Fairy brought out twelve Banners of Laws, forming a formation to shield the Demonic Qi.
The Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation descended from the sky, different from ordinary Heavenly Tribulations. The thunder attracted by Dugu Aotian was more terrifying, and there were even black thunders among it.
Qingyue Fairy stared at the descending black Heavenly Tribulation, "Cultivating Demonic Arts surely results in rapid advancement, which is why many cultivators, striving for a shortcut, fall into the Demon Sects. But the Heavenly Tribulations invoked by the practice of Demonic Arts are more terrible, as many of the Demon Sect elders do not die from fighting but perishing during Tribulation."
Lu Changsheng said from the side, "This child's constitution suits the cultivation of Demonic Arts. The mere nine layers of Heavenly Tribulation will not extinguish him."
Lu Changsheng didn't believe that Dugu Aotian, with his Demonic Ancestor Body, would be killed by the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation.
This was someone destined to become a great Demon Ancestor. If he couldn't transcend the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation, it would be a disgrace to the heaven-defying nature of the Demonic Ancestor Body.
Lu Changsheng had perused through ancient texts in the Scripture Pavilion of Jing Long Immortal Temple, and according to a record called "Ancient Heavenly Court Studies," in ancient times, a supreme Demon Ancestor once shattered the Heavenly Court with his bare hands, causing it to fall and become part of the lower layers of the Immortal Realm, forming one of the forbidden lands of the Immortal Realm, "Heavenly Court Relic."
If the records were true, a great accomplishment of the Demonic Ancestor Body would mean being able to shatter the Heavenly Court with bare hands. Given the potential of the Demonic Ancestor Body, the upper limit was probably not just a Daluo Golden Immortal. It wasn't likely to be incapable of overcoming the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation.
Dugu Aotian's Demonic Qi was vast as the sky; his black hair whipped about wildly, and his five fingers clenched into fists that smashed through the nine layers of Heavenly Thunder.
Dugu Aotian was cultivating the "Immortal Divine Art." Even if his body was shattered by the nine layers of Heavenly Thunder, he could still use the Demonic Qi to repair his body and continue on incessantly.
One after another, the Heavenly Thunder was destroyed by Dugu Aotian's fists and dissipated as thunderlight.
"This child's Demonic Qi contains a trace of divinity, it seems he is indeed the offspring of an immortal and a demon chief. Furthermore, at least one of his parents is a Daluo Golden Immortal. Your three disciples, once they grow up, could very likely become a force to be reckoned within the Immortal Realm."
The eyes of Qingyue Fairy sparkled with insight, holding Dugu Aotian in high regard.
Completely unafraid of the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation, Dugu Aotian possessed the qualifications to become a Demon Ancestor.
"Parents starting from Daluo Golden Immortals... If his father comes to claim his son, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect him."
Lu Changsheng was vaguely aware that Dugu Aotian's background was no ordinary matter.
The offspring of two Daluo Golden Immortals would naturally have a domineering constitution.
Moreover, starting from Daluo Golden Immortals didn't signify they were limited to that level.
Several hours later, the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation gradually vanished, and Dugu Aotian survived. The torrential Demonic Qi returned into Dugu Aotian's body. Aotian's gaze was filled with Demonic Qi, his aura unstable.
```
Lu Changsheng slightly furrowed his brows as he activated the "Taiqing Heavenly Scripture." With an outstretched right hand wrapped in the clear True Qi, he helped Dugu Aotian suppress his demonic nature.
The divine aspect of Dugu Aotian gained the upper hand, and his eyes regained clarity.
Dugu Aotian still didn't know what had happened.
"This is somewhat tricky..."
Lu Changsheng found that Dugu Aotian's Demonic Ancestor Body was difficult to control; a slight misstep, and Dugu Aotian could fall into demonic madness.
Among all of Lu Changsheng's disciples, Dugu Aotian was the most likely to succumb to such madness.
If the Demonic Ancestor Body were to reach great accomplishment, even Lu Changsheng was not confident he could suppress it.
Lu Changsheng also didn't know if this would lead to fortune or disaster; currently, he could only simulate his disciple's life for a thousand years.
Compared to the long lifespan of the Demonic Ancestor Body, a thousand-year forecast was insignificant.
[Ding, your eldest disciple "Dugu Aotian" has advanced from the Unity Realm to the Earth Immortal Realm. You have received the disciple's advancement reward: a high-grade ultimate treasure from the Demon Sects "Soul-Collecting Ring."]
A black ring appeared within Lu Changsheng's body, pitch-black and seemingly bottomless. Merely by looking at it, it felt as though one's soul could fall into it.
The Soul-Collecting Ring, a spiritual-type magic artifact, could be used to attack the enemy's Three Souls and Seven Spirits, control the enemy, or even forcibly search their memories.
Gift it to Dugu Aotian, and there's a good chance it will be returned to the Demon Sects' treasures?
This Soul-Collecting Ring could be used directly by Lu Changsheng.
Soul attack-type magic artifacts were unexpectedly difficult to defend against.
"It's time for my breakthrough."
As his disciple Dugu Aotian completed his breakthrough, Lu Changsheng also prepared for his own, ready to step into the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
An Earth Immortal is merely the lowest level among Loose Immortals, while a Heavenly Immortal is a whole major realm above Earth Immortals.

"This thirteen-grade elixir pill 'Human Immortal Pill' can increase the chances of ascension. I bestow it upon you," said Qingyue Fairy, as she produced an extremely rare Human Immortal Pill.
"Master, there's no need; your disciple already has a Human Immortal Pill," Lu Changsheng replied as he extended his hand, and a Purple Gold Bagua Gourd appeared in his palm.
"You have one too?"
Qingyue Fairy was astonished.
How could this disciple have all sorts of rare elixir pills and refining materials ready at a moment's notice?
Since Lu Changsheng already had a Human Immortal Pill, and taking too many of that kind of pill was of no additional benefit—one was enough—so Qingyue Fairy took the pill back.
Lu Changsheng consumed the Human Immortal Pill and moved into the Heavenly Immortal Realm in advance to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, preparing for his Tribulation.
Lu Changsheng's Innate Taoist Body was no less potent than a Demonic Ancestor Body. An Earth Immortal attempting ascension faced the ordeal of the twelve-fold Heavenly Tribulation.
The twelve-fold Heavenly Tribulation was far more formidable than the nine-fold Heavenly Tribulation.
Lu Changsheng prepared the Immortal-Slaying Ancient Sword, Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, Myriad Dragon Armor, and other ultimate treasures. He also cultivated the Law of Heaven and Earth, the Three Thousand Demon Gods Visualization, Rivers to the Sea, the Cosmic Canon, and other cultivation techniques, ready to face the Tribulation with confidence.
[Ding, your third disciple "Mo Huazhi" has advanced from the Unity Realm to the Earth Immortal Realm. You have received the disciple's advancement reward: a mid-grade ultimate treasure "Fairy-Entrapping Sword."]
Suddenly, the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator rewarded him with a mid-grade ultimate treasure Immortal Sword.
Had the third disciple, Mo Huazhi, ascended to the Immortal Realm?
Lu Changsheng was inwardly delighted.
In the past thirteen hundred years, his second disciple, Lu Qinglian, had ascended to the Immortal Realm, returning a fragment of a Holy Artifact.
Now, the third disciple, Mo Huazhi, had also ascended to the Immortal Realm; among the disciples of Qingyun Peak's generation, only Shen Xiaoyao, Ji Xuan, and Chen Yao had not yet ascended.
The Spiritual Energy in the Mortal Realm is sparse, making cultivation progress slower than in the Immortal Realm, but once they ascend to the Immortal Realm, their cultivation speed will increase significantly.
"It seems I must also break through soon; otherwise, if my disciples encounter some fortuitous event, I, as their master, might actually be surpassed."
All nine disciples were extraordinary talents, and Lu Changsheng had no way of knowing whether they might encounter great fortune in the Immortal Realm.
It was even possible that from amongst these disciples, there would be one who could become a dominant force in the Immortal Realm.
