3: Chapter 3: Having been reborn, one should indeed be more cautious.

Jiang Changge looked at Lu Jinghan and saw through his thoughts at a single glance.

He smiled calmly and said, "There is no need to waste your spiritual power; this seat is not a manifestation of an illusion."

Then, he slowly recounted Lu Jinghan's origins.

"Lu Jinghan, the Venerable Jinghan, ranked seventh on the Dragon-Tiger List of the Central Continent ten thousand years from now..."

"Through Destiny and chance, you have experienced Rebirth and come to Kunlun Mountain seeking the Ancient Kunlun Ruins to quickly raise your Realm and take revenge on those two traitors."

"Am I correct?"

Hearing Jiang Changge reveal all his secrets, Lu Jinghan became even more certain that this was an illusion.

This was the only way it made sense for the other party to know everything about him.

Otherwise, unless he was an Immortal who could calculate all matters under heaven.

Even a Peak Undergoing Tribulation expert could not possibly know the news of his Rebirth.

Thus, Lu Jinghan pushed his secret technique to the limit, gathering spiritual power in his eyes, preparing to unleash the Anger-Startling Pupil.

Seeing this, Jiang Changge said no more.

Some people only believe the truth after experiencing it for themselves.

Lu Jinghan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the long-brewing Anger-Startling Pupil erupted violently.

A blood-red beam of light shot through the air, heading straight for the space between Jiang Changge's eyebrows!

This Anger-Startling Pupil was something he had obtained years ago in an ancient Secret Realm in the Central Continent.

It could see through falsehoods and slash through illusions; it had pierced through countless barriers and shattered numerous deceptions for him.

Having unleashed its full power, the spiritual power in his body was nearly drained, and he collapsed backward in exhaustion.

Fortunately, he was prepared; he sat cross-legged on the ground, intending to circulate his Cultivation Technique to recover his spiritual power.

However, when Lu Jinghan looked up, his pupils suddenly constricted.

Jiang Changge still stood quietly in the same spot, his figure not dissipating and his robes not even ruffled.

The blow that was enough to tear through an illusion just now was like a stone dropped into the ocean, failing to stir even a ripple on him.

"Impossible!"

Lu Jinghan even forgot to adjust his breathing, staring fixedly at that figure.

A trace of a tremor, which even he didn't notice, crept into his voice.

"How could it be? It had no effect at all?"

"Why would it be impossible? I told you I am not an illusion," Jiang Changge said with a smile.

Then, Jiang Changge raised his hand and fired a ball of emerald light, which merged into Lu Jinghan's body.

Lu Jinghan felt his body, weakened by the exhaustion of spiritual power after using the secret technique, instantly shed its fatigue and regain its vitality.

"Are you truly not a manifestation of an illusion?"

Lu Jinghan asked hesitantly, but he already had an answer in his heart, and a terrifying thought began to form.

If the person before him was not an illusion and his strength was far beyond the Peak of Undergoing Tribulation, then he was very likely a Red Dust Immortal wandering the world!

One must know that the Xuanhuang World had many Peak Undergoing Tribulation experts.

After touching upon that Opportunity, some chose to undergo the tribulation and achieve Ascension.

While others chose to stay behind and become Red Dust Immortals traveling through the Mortal World.

Although he hadn't encountered one in his previous life, he had heard many rumors regarding Red Dust Immortals.

"Junior Lu Jinghan greets Senior. I was offensive just now; I hope Senior can be magnanimous!"

Lu Jinghan stood up and bowed deeply toward Jiang Changge.

"No matter. You have experienced life and death and lived a second life; it is only right to be cautious."

Jiang Changge's expression was calm; he didn't mind at all and continued.

"I see that your talent is top-tier and your Heart-Nature is excellent. Furthermore, coming to Kunlun after your Rebirth means you share a Destiny with me."

"I wonder if you are willing to take me as your Revered Master and receive the techniques of my Kunlun?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinghan was overjoyed.

He immediately knelt, kowtowed heavily, and said, "Revered Master above, please accept your disciple's bow!"

At this moment, only one thought occupied his mind.

Becoming a disciple of Kunlun was definitely the greatest Opportunity of this life; the Senior before him must be a Red Dust Immortal.

Only this could explain why his Aura was even more terrifying than those at the Peak of Undergoing Tribulation.

Jiang Changge nodded slightly and, with a wave of his hand, brought Lu Jinghan to the Main Peak.

Lu Jinghan stood on the Jade Platform and gazed around.

He saw ancient, majestic, and grand pavilions emerging from the sea of clouds, standing tall among several Immortal Mountains.

Although they did not compare to the Kunlun Hall behind him, they were on a completely different level compared to what he had seen in the top powers of the Central Continent in his previous life.

"Truly an Immortal Realm!" Lu Jinghan marveled in his heart.

Seeing this, Jiang Changge said to him, "Since you have joined my Kunlun Sect, you may choose any place to live later."

In any case, there were only the two of them in the Kunlun Sect now, so he could live wherever he pleased.

Next, Jiang Changge took out dozens of Cultivation Techniques and placed them before Lu Jinghan.

"Since you have taken me as your Revered Master, I shall naturally pass on the Kunlun Dao Techniques to you. Choose one from these to Cultivate."

Jiang Changge thought to himself, "Kid, even if you were once a Peak Undergoing Tribulation expert, you surely haven't seen so many Advanced Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques."

Lu Jinghan had originally thought that his Pure Void Art, which he had obtained after facing countless dangers, was an Elementary Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique.

One must know that Heaven Rank techniques in the Xuanhuang World were extremely rare.

Even those top powers in the Central Continent didn't have many intact Heaven Rank techniques.

However, seeing dozens of techniques before him that were almost all Advanced Heaven Rank, Lu Jinghan was shocked beyond measure.

Is this the foundation of an Immortal?

Any one of these, if leaked out, would cause a massive sensation.

At that time, rivers of blood would flow, and the people would suffer.

After Lu Jinghan carefully examined several techniques, he did not rush to make a choice.

After all, even for a Heaven Rank technique, the one that suits oneself is the best.

Just as Lu Jinghan was hesitating over which one to choose, he was suddenly drawn to a tattered Cultivation Technique.

Only then did he notice that there were actually a few techniques without a rank, and they were very ancient and tattered.

When Lu Jinghan examined the tattered technique in his hand, an extremely familiar Dao charm immediately surrounded him.

A force within his body seemed to want to erupt, yet it remained suppressed.

Although this technique did not show a rank, his intuition told him that it was a perfect match for him.

"Revered Master, I want this Cultivation Technique."

Lu Jinghan held the tattered technique in his hand, his tone very firm.

Seeing this, Jiang Changge also nodded with a smile and then put away the other techniques.

Even if those very ancient techniques did not show a rank.

Jiang Changge would not believe they were inferior to Heaven Rank techniques.

After all, the Creation Sutra he cultivated was also one of them, so he naturally knew how powerful these techniques were.

Next, Jiang Changge continued to select various treasures from the System warehouse.

Knowing that Lu Jinghan was a Sword Cultivator, he took out an Advanced Heaven Rank precious sword.

"This is the Jinghan Sword; it happens to share your name," Jiang Changge said slowly.

"This sword has been Sealed; it will gradually unseal as your Realm progresses, making it extremely suitable for you."

Lu Jinghan took the Jinghan Sword; though it was Sealed, he could still feel its extraordinary nature.

"Thank you, Revered Master!"

Afterward, Jiang Changge gave him many more treasures, especially the bailing fruit.

He gave him thousands at once, to the point where Lu Jinghan could eat them like regular meals.

One must know that what Jiang Changge had obtained the most from his hundred years of check-ins was this bailing fruit.

Then, Lu Jinghan bowed respectfully to Jiang Changge, left the Main Peak, and found a pavilion to settle in.
