Chapter 434: Chapter 179: Hundreds of Immortal Masters Gather at Juling Mountain, Lu Changsheng Shows Up and Causes a Sensation!_3
Xia Feilong has dominated the Dao Foundation Candidate List at the top position for ten years.
Lu Changsheng "descended from the heavens" and directly overshadowed Xia Feilong.
Given Xia Feilong’s personality, how could he possibly let this slide?
Indeed, even Lu Changsheng had heard of Xia Feilong’s various "exploits."
He even thought that Xia Feilong might truly challenge him.
But, merely three days later, news arrived from the Liuyun Sect.
Xia Feilong had successfully established his Dao Foundation!
The Xia Feilong of today was no longer merely a Divine Treasure cultivator but a Dao Foundation powerhouse!
In an instant, the entire Ancient Domain was thrown into an uproar.
"Dao Foundation? Xia Feilong actually established his Dao Foundation?"
"Xia Feilong truly lives up to his name. Instead of challenging Lu Changsheng, he responded to everyone in this way. Even now, Xia Feilong remains above all Divine Treasures. Whether or not he’s at the top of the Dao Foundation Candidate List makes no difference to him."
"Amazing. Xia Feilong wanted to establish his Dao Foundation, and he just did it—this... this is truly hard to believe."
"Now, Lu Changsheng’s position atop the Dao Foundation Candidate List is secure! With Xia Feilong having established his Dao Foundation, it seems likely that Xiao Wuji isn’t far behind. At this point, no one can shake Lu Changsheng’s place."
All the Divine Treasure cultivators in the Ancient Domain felt a tinge of regret.
A great battle had dissolved into nothingness.
...
In the Heavenly Sect within the Ancient Domain, inside Lu Changsheng’s cave mansion, he was entertaining a True Disciple named Zhang Kong.
Zhang Kong smiled and said, "Brother Lu, congratulations. Not long ago, we received word from the Liuyun Sect—Xia Feilong succeeded in establishing his Dao Foundation."
"Once Xia Feilong establishes his Dao Foundation, he won’t challenge you anymore. Xiao Wuji, being ever cautious and not as strong as Xia Feilong, definitely won’t challenge you either. Essentially, your position as the top Dao Foundation Candidate is now solid—even holding that spot for over ten years shouldn’t be an issue."
Lu Changsheng remained noncommittal.
He had already heard the news.
However, holding the top of the Dao Foundation Candidate List for ten years?
That held little appeal for him.
The Dao Foundation Candidate List, no matter how strong, was still just Divine Treasure cultivators.
How could it compare to having a Dao Foundation?
Lu Changsheng didn’t care about the so-called top position of the Dao Foundation Candidate List.
Yet he didn’t bother to explain.
There was no need.
Others envied his secure position as the leader of the Dao Foundation Candidate List—would it not appear hypocritical to explain that he didn’t care?
Instead, he chose not to explain and planned to speak through action.
He aimed to establish his Dao Foundation within a year!
"Brother Zhang, you didn’t come all this way just to deliver a piece of news, did you?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
"Of course not."
"I’ve come to discuss a matter with you, Brother Lu."
"I’ve heard of a mystical treasure that can expand the brain domain. The only question is, Brother Lu, do you dare to compete for it?"
Zhang Kong said with a smile.
"What treasure would I not dare to compete for?"
A glint of intrigue flashed through Lu Changsheng’s eyes.
Although he wasn’t overly concerned about his position at the top of the Dao Foundation Candidate List,
he was still, in name and reality, the undisputed leader among all Divine Treasure cultivators of the Ancient Domain.
No one stood above him!
With such strength, what treasure would he not dare to claim?
However, Zhang Kong clearly wasn’t asking frivolous questions.
There must be a reason.
"I’ve heard of a treasure called the Spirit Communication Flower."
"A single Spirit Communication Flower can expand the brain domain by one li. According to the information I have, there are numerous Spirit Communication Flowers in that location—at least twenty or more."
"However, that place is called Juling Mountain!"
Putting the name "Juling Mountain" into words instantly made Lu Changsheng realize something.
Juling Mountain!
This was no place for martial artists to tread.
Juling Mountain was typically the domain of Immortal Masters.
Though it wasn’t explicitly forbidden for martial artists to enter Juling Mountain,
just as Immortal Masters rarely ventured into areas frequented by martial artists,
martial artists seldom set foot in Juling Mountain.
If a martial artist entered Juling Mountain, there would undoubtedly be significant inconveniences.
And if martial artists sought to claim its Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures—
that would practically amount to inciting public fury.
At that point, the opposition wouldn’t be just one or two Immortal Masters.
Immortal Masters were akin to Divine Treasure cultivators in terms of realm.
However, the myriad techniques of Immortal Masters often gave them a distinct advantage over Divine Treasures of the same tier.
Even if Lu Changsheng was the strongest Dao Foundation Candidate, hailed as the supreme Divine Treasure cultivator,
venturing into Juling Mountain to vie for Spirit Communication Flowers would still be exceedingly dangerous.
Thus, Zhang Kong’s proposal wasn’t a question asked lightly.
Alone, Zhang Kong didn’t dare to go.
But if he could enlist Lu Changsheng, things would be entirely different.
For a moment, Lu Changsheng remained silent.
The cave mansion fell into a still hush.
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng raised his gaze, looking toward Zhang Kong.
"Brother Zhang, isn’t there one more detail you’ve left out?"
"Spirit Communication Flowers aren’t ordinary Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. If I recall correctly, one of the critical ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill—highly sought after by Qi Refining Immortal Masters—is none other than the Spirit Communication Flower, correct?"
"Without Spirit Communication Flowers, refining Foundation Establishment Pills would be impossible!"
Lu Changsheng’s faint smile carried deeper meaning.
Zhang Kong was slightly taken aback.
He hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng to know the ingredients of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
In truth, the primary materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill weren’t particularly secret.
Most Immortal Masters were aware of them.
But for martial artists, it was rare to be concerned about the ingredients for such pills.
Lu Changsheng had acquired this knowledge through his Perception Domain, occasionally picking up tidbits without even realizing it.
"Brother Lu, it seems you’re quite the insightful one."
"Indeed, the Spirit Communication Flower is one of the most critical ingredients in crafting Foundation Establishment Pills—it’s incredibly valuable."
