18: Must participate

Li Changsheng sighed and said, "Alright then, I am Li Changsheng."

"I'm here."

"Disciple Li Changsheng pays respects to the Sect Head."

Sect Head Dao Xuan said, "What? Do you have an issue with me, the Sect Head?"

"Mm, I do have a bit of an issue," Li Changsheng nodded.

"Presumptuous!"

Li Changsheng's words were like lighting a powder keg.

A crowd of True Disciples stepped forward one after another to condemn him.

Especially Sect Head Dao Xuan's several Disciples.

To actually dare to speak to their Master like that.

Ji Lingyue was so frustrated she just slapped her forehead and immediately took a step back, as if telling everyone she didn't know this person.

Li Changsheng said with an innocent face, "Is it not even allowed to speak the truth anymore?"

Sect Head Dao Xuan said, "I suddenly want to hear where exactly you have an issue with me."

Li Changsheng said, "Originally, I was thinking of going back for a nap, but then I heard your command, Immortal Master Sect Leader, and had to appear here. Don't you think I'd have an issue?"

"Hahahaha."

The Immortal Master Sect Leader burst into laughter.

"Not bad, what you say actually makes some sense."

"However, since you didn't want to come, you could have just not come; no one forced you."

"How could you say no one did?"

Li Changsheng rolled his eyes.

“Our Primordial Immortal Sect has a command: when the Immortal Master Sect Leader summons, no matter who it is, unless they are in secluded meditation, they must be present. Could I have not come?"

"Correct."

Dao Xuan nodded and said, "Your words just now were offensive and you should have been punished. However, after hearing your explanation, I won't punish you for your previous offense."

"Then many thanks, Sect Head," Li Changsheng said indifferently.

Dao Xuan said, "Li Changsheng, you truly live up to being a natural Great Desolate Sacred Body. Entering the sect for only a year and you've already stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm. It seems Junior Sister Piao Miao has spent quite some effort on you."

"Entering Foundation Establishment in one year."

"*Hiss.*"

These words immediately caused everyone present to involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air.

"I Cultivated for over twenty years before stepping into the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"I also Cultivated for nineteen years."

"I even spent thirty years."

Dao Xuan said, "Speaking of the fastest record in our Primordial Immortal Sect, it was created by his Master, Fairy Piao Miao, taking eight years."

"Nephew Li, the student has truly surpassed the Master."

At this moment, no one knew.

Why Dao Xuan wanted to reveal Li Changsheng's secret.

In fact, the purpose was very simple.

To draw hatred.

Li Changsheng would never have thought that when he told his Master, Fairy Piao Miao, the news that the Immortal Master Sect Leader was an undercover for the Heavenly Demon Sect, she would actually go specifically to confront Immortal Master Dao Xuan about it.

Fairy Piao Miao was a Cultivation nut, a madwoman.

Careless and straightforward.

After just a few words, she was tricked by Dao Xuan into revealing everything.

This immediately caused killing intent to rise within Dao Xuan.

One must know that as an undercover...

He believed he had hidden himself very well, even attaining the position of Immortal Master Sect Leader of the Primordial Immortal Sect. It could be said that the Primordial Immortal Sect was basically under the control of their Heavenly Demon Sect.

He even prided himself as the king of undercovers.

Yet such a secret matter was exposed in a single sentence by a newly joined Disciple.

Regardless of how he knew about his identity as an undercover,

Even if it was just nonsense,

He had to find a way to get rid of him.

Unfortunately,

In one year's time,

He had never found an opportunity.

This time, however, he inadvertently saw that Li Changsheng's Cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, and a plan to eliminate Li Changsheng was born in his mind.

Murder with a borrowed knife.

So he specifically called out Li Changsheng and pointed out his Cultivation time and Realm.

Let's see how he can decline now.

Dao Xuan said, "Nephew should also know that our Primordial Immortal Sect is about to have a competition with the Blood River Demonic Sect. All the major peaks will send Disciples to fight. Your Misty Peak will be represented by you."

"Don't."

Competing with others...

Whoever wants to go, go.

Don't look for me.

Li Changsheng hurriedly refused, "Sect Head, forget about me. I've only been in the sect for a year. Although I've broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, I haven't had time to Cultivate a single Divine Ability or Spell. If I go up to compete, wouldn't I lose all the face of the Primordial Immortal Sect?"

"Is that so?"

Dao Xuan frowned and said, "I see. Your Master is in secluded meditation all year round and probably won't have time. How about you go to the Taichu Treasure Vault yourself to find a Divine Ability or Spell to Cultivate?"

The opportunity was right in front of him.

Dao Xuan did not intend to give up.

In a competition between both sides,

With just a little bit of scheming,

This Li Changsheng would surely die.

Li Changsheng still shook his head and said, "Even if I Cultivate a Divine Ability or Spell, surely I can't go empty-handed? Let's just forget it."

Li Changsheng could see it now.

This Sect Head was determined to make him participate.

What did he want to do?

It wasn't hard to guess.

Thinking about his Master's style,

It was highly likely that his Master had told Sect Head Dao Xuan about what he said regarding the Sect Head being an undercover for the Heavenly Demon Sect.

It would be strange if the man didn't try every possible way to kill him.

If he wanted to kill him,

How could he let it go without making the other party lose a few teeth?

Dao Xuan added, "How about this, I have a Profound Rank Medium Grade Immortal Sword here, the Qinggang Sword. I'll give it to you."

The Qinggang Sword.

It was a Golden Core Realm Magic Treasure.

To Li Changsheng, who possessed the lingyun sword, it was no different from trash.

The lingyun sword was a Heaven-Grade Medium Grade Magic Treasure, a supreme Magic Treasure of the Mahayana Realm.

Not to mention its three major attributes.

And,

He could use it at one hundred percent effectiveness.

The most important point,

The Qinggang Sword was a Golden Core Realm Magic Treasure; he couldn't exert its full power at all.

It was like a chicken rib.

The key was,

It was problematic whether he accepted it or not.

Treacherous.

Taking the Qinggang Sword, Li Changsheng simply threw it to Ji Lingyue.

"Take this sword and use it."

Ji Lingyue was clearly very disdainful as well.

She said, "It's just a Profound Rank Medium Grade. I don't want it; I have better Magic Treasures."

Li Changsheng didn't plan to spoil her. He glared and said, "If you can't use it, you can sell it. Aren't you collecting Spirit Medicines for the Essence-Increasing Pill recently? It can also relieve some pressure."

"Don't worry, this time I'm giving it to you for free; it won't increase your share of the Essence-Increasing Pills."

Ji Lingyue, who was about to decline, suddenly had her eyes light up. She smiled and said, "Then many thanks, Senior Brother."

Li Changsheng shook his head and said, "Truly, even a dog wouldn't want it."

Ji Lingyue, who was happy a moment ago, immediately had her face fall.

He was calling her a dog.

Equally angry was Sect Head Dao Xuan.

The Magic Treasure he gave away was actually being looked down upon.

The other True Disciples were also in an uproar.

The Sword-Wielding Elder narrowed his eyes into slits; no one knew what he was thinking.

Only Li Changsheng saw a notification.

[The Sword-Wielding Elder has developed a great interest in you and intends to recruit you as his subordinate to bring you into the Blood River Demonic Sect.]

"Holy crap, I'm being targeted again."

"Sigh, there's no helping it. Being so handsome is such a burden."

Fortunately, although Dao Xuan was angry, he quickly calmed down and said, "It seems Nephew doesn't know. This competition is not a one-on-one duel. Instead, you will enter the Third Secret Realm, one of the Five Great Secret Realms of our Primordial Immortal Sect. Inside this Third Secret Realm grows a red dragon fruit."
