Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques-Chapter 697 - 237: Ten Thousand Gather at the Heavenly River Sacred Land, the Name of Lu Changsheng Shakes the Holy Land!_4
To advance further as a Human Saint and even cultivate to Earth Saint or Heavenly Saint, one must find a way to enter the Holy Land.
Thus, the "intelligence" regarding the Heavenly River Sacred Land becomes naturally very important. ππ£πππ ππππ¨π―ππ.ππ¨π
Xiao Zhenyi thought about it; in order to ease the relationship with Lu Changsheng,
selling some goodwill to Lu Changsheng now would actually benefit the Xiao Family.
Therefore, Xiao Zhenyi said, "To enter the Heavenly River Sacred Land as an outsider Martial Saint, there is actually only one requirement: to possess overwhelming strength!"
"The stronger, the better!"
"After all, the Heavenly River Sacred Land needs to share the multitude of life force with external Martial Saints. Itβs impossible to maintain a group of idle people. Only those with exceptional power can contribute to the Sacred Land."
"I donβt stand a chance, but Brother Lu definitely has the opportunity."
"If even a Sacred Body forged on the foundation of Infinite Divine Power canβt join the Holy Land, then I, as an old man, have no idea what caliber of Martial Saint can."
Regarding whether Lu Changsheng could enter the Heavenly River Sacred Land, Xiao Zhenyi was not worried at all.
Lu Changsheng pondered deeply.
He then carefully inquired about Xiao Zhenyiβs examination results at the Heavenly River Sacred Land back then.
Of course, so many years have passed, and the tests change every time, so they would certainly be different.
But as a reference, it was still useful.
Time passed bit by bit.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Changsheng spent three days engaging in "heartfelt talks" with Xiao Zhenyi at the Xiao Family.
Three days later, Zhang Shu finally arrived at the Xiao Family.
"Everythingβs been arranged?"
Lu Changsheng asked Zhang Shu.
"All settled," Zhang Shu replied.
Even the trace of worry that had lingered in his face seemed entirely absent now.
Apparently, everything regarding the affairs of the family had gone smoothly.
"Good. Then let us return to Heavenly Saint City," Lu Changsheng said.
Thus, Lu Changsheng bid farewell to Xiao Zhenyi.
The two headed to Heavenly Saint City together.
It must be saidβZhang Shuβs flying speed was indeed very slow.
It took a full three months for the two to return to Heavenly Saint City.
If Lu Changsheng hadnβt assisted Zhang Shu a couple of times, the journey would have likely been even slower.
Upon returning to the Holy Landβs Heavenly Sect, Lu Changsheng arranged for Zhang Shu to join the Sacred Sect as an Elder. Then, he promptly proceeded to the Li family to meet Li Zhenggang with the Heavenly Rain Creation Pill.
"Daoist Li, this is the Heavenly Rain Creation Pill I once promised you. You may examine it closely,"
Lu Changsheng said, presenting the pill to Li Zhenggang.
"This is..."
Li Zhenggangβs voice quivered.
He took the elixir and carefully inspected it.
Finally, his face broke into a look of uncontrollable joy: "Indeed, this is the Heavenly Rain Creation Pill. I never expected Daoist Lu to find it so quickly."
"Hahaha! My injuries might finally heal!"
Li Zhenggang was filled with boundless joy.
This was the Heavenly Rain Creation Pillβthe miraculous elixir he had dreamt about for years.
Li Zhenggangβs injuries had persisted without recovery.
Over the years, he had secluded himself in the Li familyβs secret chamber to recuperate, but he had failed to achieve full recovery.
This had even caused the Li familyβs overall strength to gradually decline.
Fortunately, there was Lu Changsheng.
Otherwise, should Li Zhenggang perish, the Li family would surely face immense trouble.
"Daoist Li, I intend to head to the Heavenly River Sacred Land."
"After my departure, Iβll have to trouble Daoist Li to keep an eye on the Heavenly Sect for me."
Lu Changsheng had hastened to deliver the Heavenly Rain Creation Pill to Li Zhenggang for another crucial reason: the absence of a stationed Martial Saint at the Holy Landβs Heavenly Sect.
If Lu Changsheng left, what would happen to the Heavenly Sect?
The sect couldnβt rely on Lu Changsheng for everything.
If an urgent problem arose, Lu Changsheng wouldnβt be able to intervene immediately.
Thus, having a Martial Saint stationed at the Holy Landβs Heavenly Sect was of critical importance.
If Li Zhenggang could recover, his presence in Heavenly Saint City would undoubtedly provide the needed oversight for the Sacred Sect.
This way, nothing significantly troublesome would occur.
Should a major crisis arise, Lu Changsheng could always rush back.
"Of course,"
Li Zhenggang enthusiastically agreed.
Even without Lu Changshengβs request, he would willingly oversee the Heavenly Sect.
Lu Changsheng returned to the Heavenly Sect once again.
Handled the affairs of the Heavenly Sect with care.
Bade farewell to various acquaintances.
After ensuring everything was prepared, Lu Changsheng resolutely departed from Heavenly Saint City, heading toward the Heavenly River Sacred Land.
The Heavenly River Sacred Land was an extremely distant location from Heavenly Saint City.
Even using Lu Changshengβs Martial Saint-level speed, it would take several months to arrive.
However, this time Lu Changsheng was unhurried.
He expected to stay in the Heavenly River Sacred Land for an extended period.
Unless something incredibly significant occurred, he likely wouldnβt return to Heavenly Saint City.
Finally, after six months, Lu Changsheng arrived at the Heavenly River.
The so-called Heavenly River was, in truth, a boundless, ceaselessly surging great river.
The river was vast.
Its breadth stretched beyond sight.
From afar, it seemed to touch the heavens and connect the earth.
Hence, it was named the Heavenly River.
At the edge of the Heavenly River stood a Martial Arts Holy Land known as the Heavenly River Sacred Land!
Legends say that the Heavenly River Sacred Landβs founding ancestor achieved Heavenly Saint enlightenment beside the Heavenly River and established the Sacred Land there, passing it down through the generations.
Just outside the Heavenly River Sacred Land lay a grand city called Heavenly River City.
Its population numbered in the millions.
It was undoubtedly a great city.
With the Sacred Land as its backbone, Heavenly River City thrived in prosperity.
Countless martial artists flocked to its gates, seeking to join the Heavenly River Sacred Land as disciples.
The Heavenly River Sacred Land opened its gates every ten years to recruit disciples.
Many rushed to the opportunity upon hearing the news.
Thus, the population of Heavenly River City had recently surged dramatically.
Of course, the Heavenly River Sacred Land was not located within the city but rather outside, near the banks of the Heavenly River.
Lu Changsheng first settled into Heavenly River City.
He noticed that many martial artists were arriving, accompanied by their family members.
