294: Invitation from Chen Tianshu

"To be honest, Senior Brother Jiang, I really like this grand gift!" Lu Chen quickly stepped forward and put the Old Red Dragon's Physical Body into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

Jiang Daoqing smiled gently, "As long as you like it."

Where was the domineering presence he had just shown when fighting against the Demon Clan's Old Great Power?

It's a pity he couldn't keep that Old Jiaolong and Little Golden Crow, otherwise Junior Brother Lu would probably like it even more.

But it doesn't matter, there will be plenty of opportunities after returning to the Starry Sky.

'A Great Expert of the Faxiang Realm!' Lu Chen's heart pounded, his consciousness already immersed in the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

This is a Great Expert, two full ranks higher than the Wind and Thunder Dao Soldiers of the Yang Spirit Realm.

Above the Wind and Thunder Dao Soldiers are the Yin Yang Dao Soldiers, and above that are the Ten Transformations Dao Soldiers. At that time, the Dao Soldiers will become extremely terrifying, far incomparable to things like the Wind and Thunder Dao Soldiers.

At the very least, once this Old Red Dragon is cultivated into a Ten Transformations Dao Soldier, he will be invincible below the Faxiang Realm Great Experts.

As for above the Faxiang Realm, it's hard to say. Someone as strong as Jiang Daoqing, having cultivated seven great Faxiang, can even contend with that Tongtian Realm Great Power from the Demon Clan without falling behind in the slightest.

But when it comes to this Old Red Dragon and Old Jiaolong, although they are also Faxiang Realm Great Experts, compared to the truly strong, they are not much different from those just making up the numbers.

Jiang Daoqing defeated this Old Red Dragon and Old Jiaolong with almost no effort, probably because they were among the weakest in the Faxiang Realm Great Experts.

So, a Dao Soldier cultivated from such a weak specimen probably won't be too strong among the Great Experts.

Of course, after becoming a Dao Soldier, there will be various talent bonuses for Dao Soldiers, and with the inheritance of Divine Powers that Lu Chen has comprehended, he should be stronger than the original Old Red Dragon, but it's hard to say by how much.

After all, the original foundation wasn't great!

"It will be several months later when this Ten Transformations Dao Soldier, comparable to a Faxiang Realm Great Expert, is cultivated!" Lu Chen's consciousness withdrew from the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, no longer paying too much attention.

Right now, let alone relying on this Old Red Dragon, a Faxiang Realm Great Expert, even the 'Causality Tracing Mirror' which is still advancing towards becoming a Yin Yang Dao Soldier is also unreliable.

"The Azure Underworld is about to change!" Jiang Daoqing's gaze withdrew from Lu Chen, finally looking up at the sky. After a long look, he whispered, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet your future Master."

'Finally, I'm going to meet the new Master who came from the Ancestral Land?' Lu Chen was greatly anticipating it.

Because if nothing unexpected happens, he will soon leave the Azure Underworld and follow this new Master to the Dongming Sect's Ancestral Land. At that time, those who contend with him will be the Myriad Clans of the Universe, all the Heavenly Pride who are monstrously powerful. Of course, relatively speaking, his Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin will also unlock more excellent Dao Seeds.

"Huh?" Lu Chen suddenly reacted, "The Azure Underworld is about to change?"

Hasn't the Azure Underworld already changed?

The Azure Underworld has long since been turned upside down by the Demon Clan Great Power, Great Experts, and Heavenly Pride who crossed the Starry Sky, balanced by the Human Race Great Power, Great Experts, and Heavenly Pride. How else could it change?

Jiang Daoqing looked at the sky and shook his head, "When you meet your Master, you will know everything!"

After glancing at the sky, Jiang Daoqing's expression became much more solemn. Immediately, without waiting for Lu Chen's response, Jiang Daoqing waved his sleeve, enveloped Lu Chen, and instantly disappeared from this Northern Frontier.

By the time Lu Chen opened his eyes again, the scene before him was no longer the wasteland of the Northern Frontier, but the familiar Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb.

Even more familiar was the young figure with his back turned to him, yet still recognizable at a glance, Zhao Yujing.

This Young Sect Leader was still quietly cultivating.

In Lu Chen's words, the Sect Leader truly lived up to his reputation as a Heavenly Pride who enjoyed secluded cultivation and aimed for Ascension to immortality.

Lu Chen considered himself an extremely diligent cultivator who never slacked off, but compared to his own Sect Leader, he seemed to be slightly lacking.

Of course, it wasn't that he was truly inferior to his Sect Leader. It was just that Lu Chen's and Zhao Yujing's cultivation methods were somewhat different. His Sect Leader Zhao Yujing didn't have the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin and only cultivated himself, so his personal cultivation represented everything.

While Lu Chen also had the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, and his Dao Soldiers were also part of Lu Chen's strength.

Perhaps to outsiders, Lu Chen spent a significant portion of his time either competing with various Heavenly Pride or eliminating demons and devils, and the time truly spent on cultivation didn't seem like much.

However, in reality, Lu Chen had never relaxed in his cultivation journey. He was either working on his Dao Soldiers or cultivating himself in seclusion, always on the path of improvement.

Moreover, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, never stopping. Every moment, he was getting stronger.

Especially after he cultivated the Clone Divine Power, the Tenfold Spirit Body, his cultivation method ushered in an unprecedented leap, truly achieving the path of constantly cultivating and becoming stronger at all times.

If you really compared them, his own Sect Leader was actually not as 'diligent' as him!

Getting back to the main topic.

Besides the Young Sect Leader Zhao Yujing, Lu Chen also saw the two Protectors, Fan Yanbo and Gu Wen zhao, and several Elders including the Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder.

Finally, there was an Old Man whose aura was as deep as an abyss, as profound and unfathomable as the vast Starry Sky.

'Is this going to be my Master in the future?' Lu Chen secretly adjusted his aura, stepped forward honestly, and paid his respects one by one.

The two Protectors and several Elders did not speak. Even his own Sect Leader Zhao Yujing remained silent. The atmosphere became somewhat subtle for a moment, and even Jiang Daoqing, who had led Lu Chen here, fell silent at this time.

"You haven't even left the Azure Underworld, let alone entered the Dongxu Immortal Mansion for further study, yet you can slay Dragon Wu Dao, who is famous in the Starry Sky among the Demon Clan. Little fellow, do you think the Myriad Clans of the Universe are nothing special?" The Old Man with the profound and unfathomable aura, who was Chen Tianshu, slowly opened his mouth.

He didn't call Lu Chen by name, but Lu Chen knew that this terrifying Old Man was speaking to him.

He gently shook his head and replied solemnly, "My Master once said in the Starry Sky that among the Myriad Clans of the Universe, there are too many incredible existences. Like the 'Immortal Species' who call themselves the God Clan, the 'Heaven and Earth Nurtured' who call themselves the Sacred Spirit Race, or the 'Dao Seeds' born from the Dao. These existences are all powerful and unfathomable, born with great power. In terms of talent, they are even above the Human Race who possess Spirit Treasures, and also above the Demon Clan. This Disciple has always kept this in mind and has never been complacent."

Chen Tianshu nodded calmly, "At your age, to have such achievements and still understand the principle that there is always a higher peak, is not bad."

He paused, "But you don't need to be self-deprecating. The spirit of youth, forging ahead without hesitation, is exactly the drive you should have at this age. It is often at this time that one can make rapid progress on the path of cultivation, fearless of its dangers.

"That you can reach such heights in the path of Puppets, and haven't neglected your own cultivation, is indeed something to be proud of. I wish to take you as my Disciple, are you willing?"

When the moment arrived, although Lu Chen had anticipated it, he couldn't help but mention, "This Disciple once apprenticed under the Third Elder. Now my Master is not here..."

The Third Elder treated him well. Although in terms of strength, he might not be as strong as Lu Chen now, a Master for a day is a Master for life. Lu Chen still couldn't quite let go of his first Master on his cultivation path.

If he were to take a second Master without saying a word, it would be somewhat unreasonable.

In Lu Chen's opinion, taking a second Master was not impossible, but he should at least inform the Third Elder beforehand.

Otherwise, after the Third Elder found out about this, what would he think?

His own Disciple's strength has grown? His wings have hardened?

Taking another Master without saying a word?

Treating him as if he, the Master, doesn't exist anymore?

No matter what, it's unreasonable!

Even if Chen Tianshu might be countless times stronger than the Third Elder, the principle is still the principle. Lu Chen couldn't just ignore it!
