Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques-Chapter 704 - 239: Lu Changsheng is Here, Everything is Settled!_2
He also knew that outsider Martial Saints in the Heavenly River Holy Land were categorized as "ostracized" individuals.
No matter how much they contributed.
And no matter how long they stayed in the Heavenly River Holy Land. ππ£πππ°πππ§πΌπππ.π°π¨π¦
Outsider Martial Saints were always at odds with the native Martial Saints of the Heavenly River Holy Land.
It was as if they were perpetually excluded from the core of the Heavenly River Holy Land.
Truthfully, this was to be expected.
Outsider Martial Saints naturally did not have any sense of belonging to the Heavenly River Holy Land.
Both sides were merely using each other for mutual benefit.
The Heavenly River Holy Land provided the power of the masses to aid in cultivation for the outsider Martial Saints.
While the outsider Martial Saints, in turn, used their strength to help the Heavenly River Holy Land resolve certain matters.
To these people, other outsider Martial Saints were certainly not treated "kindly."
But Lu Changsheng was different.
The reason was simple.
Lu Changsheng had condensed the Infinite Divine Power!
And furthermore, he was a Martial Saint with the Infinite Divine Power as his foundation!
The Elders and Hall Masters in these Holy Lands, with their lofty pride, usually paid no regard to outsider Martial Saints.
But toward a martial artist capable of condensing Infinite Divine Power, their admiration was genuine.
After all, even within the Holy Lands, not just anyone could successfully condense Infinite Divine Power.
In the entire history of the Holy Land, the number of individuals who had managed to condense Infinite Divine Power did not exceed ten.
Every single one of them was extraordinarily gifted, possessing the potential of a Heaven-Saint!
"Do the gentlemen know what the matter is?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
"We do not know."
"But once we arrive at the main hall, it will naturally become clear."
"Elder Infinite, this way, please."
Lu Changsheng nodded and followed the many Holy Land Elders into the Heavenly River Grand Hall.
At this moment, the Heavenly River Grand Hall was filled with numerous Elders and Hall Masters, gathered together in one assembly.
Seated at the head position was the Sect Leader of the Heavenly River Holy Land.
This was Lu Changshengβs first time meeting the Sect Leader.
However, the Sect Leader seemed to be quite familiar with him.
Upon seeing Lu Changsheng, he smiled and said, "Elder Infinite, as a titled elder of the Heavenly River Holy Land, please take the third seat from the left."
Lu Changsheng glanced over.
The third seat on the leftβthis was by no means a low position.
In fact, it was rather high.
In the Heavenly River Grand Hall, every seat was significant and carried meaning.
The closer the seat was to the front, the higher oneβs status.
Lu Changsheng did not hesitate.
He directly sat down.
Soon, the two seats ahead of him were also occupied.
In the Heavenly River Grand Hall, nearly several dozen Martial Saints had assembled.
These Martial Saints were all top-level Martial Saints.
They were far beyond the reach of ordinary Martial Saints from the outside world.
The Sect Leaderβs gaze swept across the room, then he spoke, "Everyone, the once-in-a-decade Holy Land Assembly is about to begin."
"This time, it will be hosted at the Qingshan Holy Land."
"In past assemblies, the Holy Land disciples have always engaged in martial competitions. Last time, the ranking of our Heavenly River Holy Landβs disciples was rather poor, and we lost face. Therefore, this time, we must send our strongest disciples to ensure a better result in the assembly."
"This time, which elder is willing to lead the team to Qingshan Holy Land?"
The Sect Leaderβs words caused a subtle shift in the expressions of many elders in the hall.
The Holy Land Assembly!
Especially when itβs hosted at the Qingshan Holy Land. This was not an enviable task.
The relationship between Qingshan Holy Land and Heavenly River Holy Land was far from harmonious.
There were even many long-standing grudges between them.
If one were to lead the team to Qingshan Holy Land, while the other side might not resort to outright aggression, making things difficult would certainly not be out of the question.
At that time, humiliation could be unavoidable.
Moreover, the Heavenly River Holy Land disciples had historically not performed well in such competitions.
Participating in the Holy Land Assembly was pretty much a thankless task likely to end in embarrassment.
As a result, when the Sect Leaderβs words fell, the entire hall plunged into dead silence.
Almost no one responded.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall seemed to freeze.
No one stepped forward.
Not a single one.
For a time, the expressions on everyoneβs faces became somewhat awkward.
The Sect Leaderβs face darkened.
He said coldly, "Whatβs this? No one is willing to step forward?"
"No one wants to lead the team to Qingshan Holy Land?"
Yet, the numerous elders still remained silent.
Lu Changsheng glanced at the Sect Leader.
Then at the other elders.
Suddenly, he understood why the Sect Leader had summoned him here.
So, it turned out he was brought in for this.
But then again, this was only natural.
A Martial Saint from the outside, even if he was a titled Martial Saint, was always the one expected to do the work that the native Holy Land figures did not wish to handle.
Lu Changsheng recalled that becoming a titled elder came with obligations.
For example, within a year, the Holy Land could request a titled elder to handle one affair.
After all, one could not share in the Holy Landβs collective advantages for free.
"Brother Lu will go."
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng spoke up.
By taking on this task and settling this matter properly, the Heavenly River Holy Land likely would not disturb him again so freely.
In theory, they could require his services once a year.
But practically speaking, if this issue were handled well, he could probably enjoy some peace and quiet for years to come.
"Oh, Elder Infinite wishes to lead the team to Qingshan?"
The Sect Leaderβs gaze shifted toward Lu Changsheng.
The many elders and Hall Masters in the hall also brightened their expressions.
Lu Changshengβs strength was undoubtedly reliable.
Being a titled elder, among the Human Saints, there was likely no Martial Saint in the entire Heavenly River Holy Land who could rival Lu Changsheng.
If he were to lead the team to Qingshan Holy Land, no matter what challenges they faced, there would be no major issues.
Even the safety of the disciples would be ensured.
"Indeed, Brother Lu has nothing else to occupy himself with. Itβs a good opportunity to observe the Holy Land Assembly and witness the talents of disciples from the great Holy Lands."
Lu Changsheng said in a calm tone.
The Sect Leader nodded slightly.
He had reached out to Lu Changsheng precisely with the intention of making him the leader for this mission.
