5: Chapter 5 Lin Xiao breaks through the defenses, his cultivation level increases by a hundred years!

Upper Realm, Gu Family.

"Ding! The Child of Luck Lin Xiao's state of mind is in chaos. luck value decreased by 5,000 points. Current remaining luck value is 15,000 points."

"Congratulations to the Host for plundering 5,000 Luck points."

This notification rang out in Gu Changsheng's ears.

"Reward obtained: A Century of Cultivation, Star-type Supreme Dharma Image, Ziwei Illuminating the Divine Palace!"

At this moment, Gu Changsheng, who was already on the verge of Breakthrough, successfully broke through his realm!

Wufa Realm!

"This century of cultivation arrived at just the right time," Gu Changsheng murmured to himself.

He raised his hand, feeling the power flowing through his fingertips.

This power was pure, without any impurities.

"To kill the person, one must first destroy their heart." He curled his lips into a smile.

"The ancients truly did not deceive me."

This method of plundering a Child of Luck was extremely efficient.

Just by speaking a few words, he caused Lin Xiao's Dao Heart to fail and his Luck to plummet.

Not only did he gain benefits, but he also planted a Heart Demon in his opponent.

...

Three days later, Gu Changsheng woke up from seclusion.

He slowly opened his eyes, which were as deep as the night.

He stood up and stretched his body.

His bones made a crackling sound, like beans popping.

"Young Lord." Gu Yi's voice came from outside the palace doors.

"Come in," Gu Changsheng said.

Gu Yi pushed the door open and entered. Sensing Gu Changsheng's cultivation, he said in surprise, "Young Lord, you've broken through?"

"Mhm." Gu Changsheng nodded.

Gu Yi was full of joy. He bowed and smiled, "The Young Lord's talent is extraordinary; you are a genius of the heavens. In the future, you will surely reach the peak and leave your name for eternity! If the Family Head finds out, he will certainly be greatly relieved!"

Gu Changsheng opened his eyes, his tone indifferent. "No need for unnecessary words. You are waiting here specifically; I assume there's movement from Lin Xiao's side?"

Gu Yi handed over a Image Recording Stone.

"Reporting to the Young Lord, I have been keeping an eye on Lin Xiao."

Gu Changsheng took the Image Recording Stone and stimulated it with spiritual power.

An image appeared in the air.

In the image, Lin Xiao was kneeling in the rain, his face covered in blood.

His eyes were blood-red, looking like a madman.

The scene changed, and Lin Xiao's body grew taller at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He roared, venting his emotions.

"It seems he forced a Breakthrough." Gu Changsheng watched the image.

He noticed the hatred in Lin Xiao's eyes, which was almost tangible.

"Qi Awakening, Meridian Opening, Dan Bian... mhm, he went directly to the Late Stage of the Dan Bian Realm."

Gu Yi nodded. "Yes. After the Young Lord left, Lin Xiao completely erupted. He absorbed all the medicinal power of the Medicinal Pill, forcefully pushing his cultivation to the Great Perfection of the Dan Bian Realm. But his Dao Heart seems somewhat unstable."

"Damaged Dao Heart?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Looking at it now, giving him that Medicinal Pill was more interesting than using it myself." A playful look flashed in Gu Changsheng's eyes. "He hates me and wants to kill me; this power will become his only support."

"What does Lin Xiao plan to do next?" Gu Changsheng asked.

Gu Yi replied in a deep voice, "After Lin Xiao recovered, he began searching for ways to increase his cultivation like a madman. He seems to have placed all his hope and motivation on revenge."

"He found several Lower Realm Ancient Ruins, gaining Opportunities in desperate situations every time. His cultivation is still steadily improving, showing signs of entering the Divine Light Realm."

"Oh?" Gu Changsheng became interested. "A fellow whose Dantian was crippled can actually enter the Divine Light Realm so quickly? This Luck is quite tenacious."

Gu Yi nodded. "His methods are becoming more and more ruthless, and he does things by any means necessary. Many Prodigies of the Lower Realm have been suppressed or even slaughtered by him. I discovered that he absorbs these people's Luck and converts it into his own cultivation."

"Interesting." Gu Changsheng smiled.

"By the way, what about Su Qingyue?" Gu Changsheng suddenly asked.

Gu Yi reported, "Reporting to the Young Lord. Miss Su is as usual in the Cold Moon Palace. Following your instructions, she takes the Spiritual Liquid and Medicinal Pills you provide daily. Her Taiyin Sacred Body's degree of Awakening is increasing rapidly under the nourishment of these resources."

"How is her cultivation now?" Gu Changsheng asked.

"I noticed earlier that she has successfully broken through to the Dan Bian Realm," Gu Yi said respectfully.

"Dan Bian Realm?" Gu Changsheng mused.

This speed was already very fast.

With the Taiyin Sacred Body combined with his Spiritual Liquid and Medicinal Pills, her cultivation speed was indeed astonishing.

"Is there anything unusual about her?" Gu Changsheng asked.

Gu Yi shook his head. "Besides cultivating, Miss Su sits in meditation every day. She never speaks and never makes a sound. She only takes the resources when I deliver them and then continues to Cultivate. I cannot see much emotion in her eyes."

"Mhm." The corners of Gu Changsheng's mouth curled slightly.

"Very good."

This showed that Su Qingyue was still very useful.

Once her Taiyin Sacred Body was fully awakened, her value would be even greater.

He was in no hurry to refine her now; letting her Cultivate on her own was like fattening up his future "Cauldron".

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.

"Senior Brother!" A Disciple in a green Daoist robe arrived; he was a Disciple of the Daoxuan Immortal Sect.

Gu Changsheng frowned slightly.

"Why such a panic?"

The Disciple ran to the palace door and bowed.

"Reporting to Senior Brother, a Challenge Letter has arrived from the Sect's Sword Discussion Platform."

"A Challenge Letter?" Gu Changsheng's eyes flickered.

"Yes, it's..." The Disciple hesitated for a moment before saying the name: "It's Senior Brother Zhao Chenfan!"

"Zhao Chenfan?" Gu Changsheng repeated the name.

He remembered Zhao Chenfan, an established Prodigy within the Sect.

This person had cultivated for many years and entered the Divine Light Realm ten years earlier than him, being one of the True Disciples of the Daoxuan Immortal Sect.

He had just broken through to the Wufa Realm during this seclusion and was planning to give these established Prodigies a "surprise" at the Saint Ceremony.

Unexpectedly, they came to his door first.

"What did he say?" Gu Changsheng asked.

The Disciple hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Zhao Chenfan claimed that you, Senior Brother, are young and arrogant, becoming insufferable after breaking through to the Divine Light Realm. He has just come out of seclusion and feels his strength has greatly increased. He specifically sent a challenge for the Sword Discussion Platform in three days, intending to teach the Young Lord about hierarchy and what a true Prodigy is!"

After hearing this, Gu Changsheng's face showed no emotion; instead, he laughed.

"Teach me about hierarchy?" Gu Changsheng's tone carried a hint of playfulness. "Does he have the qualification?"

Hearing this, the Disciple's forehead broke into a sweat.

"Senior Brother Zhao Chenfan... he seems to have an Elder in the Wufa Realm backing him. It's said to be Elder Qi of the Fifth Peak."

"Elder Qi?" A cold light flashed in Gu Changsheng's eyes.

Elder Qi of the Fifth Peak was a well-known hardliner in the Sect.

He had always been dissatisfied with the Gu Family's control over the Daoxuan Immortal Sect's Disciplinary Power.

The Disciples he trained also frequently opposed the members of Gu Changsheng's lineage.

This Zhao Chenfan was the prized Disciple of Elder Qi's lineage.

" It seems， This appetizer before the Holy Son Ceremony， They came to me of their own accord.." Gu Changsheng revealed a smile.

He looked at Gu Yi: "What do you think I should do?"

Gu Yi said in a deep voice, "Zhao Chenfan's move is a challenge on the surface, but in reality, it's a test. With Elder Qi's lineage behind him, they are likely unwilling to see the Young Lord proceed so smoothly at the Saint Ceremony. If the Young Lord does not accept, it will damage your prestige."

"And if I accept?" Gu Changsheng asked.

"If you accept, you can take the Opportunity to establish authority." Gu Yi's eyes were sharp.

"With the Young Lord's current cultivation and the Chaos Dao Bone, suppressing Zhao Chenfan will be easy. This battle will be enough to intimidate those who are restless."

Gu Changsheng's eyes showed appreciation. "Not bad."

He stood up and walked to the palace door.

He looked at the sea of clouds in the distance, and a sharp Aura radiated from him.

"A mere Zhao Chenfan." Gu Changsheng smiled contemptuously. "What is he?"

"Go tell Zhao Chenfan," Gu Changsheng said to the Disciple, "I accept this challenge."

"See you at the Sword Discussion Platform in three days."

"Tell him to prepare more good wine, lest he has no reason to celebrate after he loses."

The Disciple hurriedly took the order, bowed, and left in a rush.

Gu Changsheng turned around and said to Gu Yi, "Go find out who else is involved in this besides Elder Qi."

"I want to see," a flash of killing intent passed through Gu Changsheng's eyes, "who thinks their life is too long and dares to jump out at this time."

Gu Yi knelt on one knee, his voice hoarse and powerful: "Your subordinate obeys."

"In this battle, I need them to know what a true Prodigy is." Gu Changsheng looked out the window; the night was deep, and the moonlight was like silver.

Three days later, this Sword Discussion Platform will be a bloodbath.

He would use this Opportunity to completely purge those blind fools in the Sect.

"No one shall stand in my way."

He would become the Saint of the Daoxuan Immortal Sect.

He would become the strongest villain in the Xuantian True Domain.

And all of this would begin at the Sword Discussion Platform in three days.
