“So, the Ancient Demon Emperor has emerged.”

Lu Changsheng understood the events leading up to this moment.

The emergence of this Ancient Demon Emperor, who has enmity with the Guanghan Sacred Land, is no small matter.

This Ancient Demon Emperor belongs to the War Faction, and upon returning to the Demon Realm, the War Faction might gain the upper hand.

“The return of the Ancient Demon Emperor indicates that the Demon Race will inevitably be swept into chaos. It was sealed in the Endless Ice Domain for ages and requires time to recover. I will teach you the Sect-Defending Skills of Guanghan Palace; you must break through to the Immortal Realm within ten million years.”

Li Lingfei decided to fully train Xia Ningxue to deal with the impending revenge of the Ancient Demon Emperor.

“Ahem, before that, Xue’er and I need to cultivate the dual cultivation skills.”

Lu Changsheng visited Guanghan Palace to cultivate the “Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills” and the “Holy Spirit Sword Art” with Xia Ningxue.

These two cultivation techniques are definitely on par with the Sect-Defending Skills of Guanghan Sacred Land.

Xia Ningxue’s face blushed, not expecting Lu Changsheng to openly suggest dual cultivation.

Li Lingfei and the Ancestors exchanged glances.

What kind of dual cultivation technique could possibly be more impressive than their Sect-Defending Skills?

“Xue’er, you shall cultivate with him.” Li Heng knew that Lu Changsheng was somewhat extraordinary; perhaps their cultivation skills would have miraculous effects, “Moreover, as the Palace Master of Guanghan Palace, you should start recruiting disciples, so the flame can be passed on endlessly.”

“The disciple has not yet found a particularly suitable candidate.”

Due to Lu Changsheng’s influence, Xia Ningxue had strict requirements for disciple recruitment.

Lu Qinglian and Ning Qianqian were extraordinarily talented disciples.

With a mindset of “better none than subpar,” Xia Ningxue had yet to recruit a disciple.

However, Li Heng’s words made sense.

Generally, the next Palace Master is selected from the disciples of the former Palace Master.

If Xia Ningxue doesn’t have disciples, who will succeed the position of Palace Master in the future?

“You first cultivate with Lu Changsheng, I will let people spread the news that three years from now our Guanghan Palace will hold a special disciple recruitment ceremony, widely recruiting disciples. If there are some promising candidates at the ceremony, consider recruiting them.”

Li Heng, as the former Palace Master, was deeply concerned about the Sacred Land.

“Hmm.”

Xia Ningxue did not object.

In the following period, Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue cultivated the “Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills” and the “Holy Spirit Sword Art” in Guanghan Palace.

Their combined efforts were far stronger than any cultivation technique used individually.

Meanwhile, Guanghan Palace released the news in the Immortal Realm that three years later, Guanghan Palace will hold a disciple recruitment ceremony, widely accepting disciples. Even the Palace Master of Guanghan Palace might take one or two Direct Disciples.

The news caused a sensation in the Immortal Realm, stirring countless Cultivator Clans, sects, and Dynasties.

Guanghan Sacred Land held a comprehensive strength ranking within the top ten among many Human Race Holy Lands.

The disciple recruitment ceremony of Guanghan Sacred Land already attracted countless talents to come and learn.

In the Immortal Realm, rumors spread that Xia Ningxue, the Palace Master of Guanghan Palace, was unparalleled in beauty and expected to become the next Goddess of the Immortal Realm.

With this disciple recruitment ceremony, Xia Ningxue might recruit disciples, doubling the allure of Guanghan Sacred Land.

In a particular sect, the Sect Leader personally summoned the most talented disciple of the sect.

“Master, I want to stay in the sect, follow you in cultivation, and not go to that Guanghan Palace.”

“Fool! Do you know what kind of place Guanghan Palace is? Any Elder there has a higher cultivation path than your master! This is a great opportunity, and you may not even be able to get in even if you want to. I am just taking you to try your luck!”

The Sect Leader was regretful, shaking his head.

The Human Race Holy Land rarely recruited outsiders because the Holy Land already had significant numbers internally, and descendants of the Ancestors of Guanghan Palace had a higher chance of being born with unique constitutions.

This time, Guanghan Sacred Land’s external recruitment was indeed a grand chance for Immortal Destiny.

In a certain Human Dynasty, upon learning about Guanghan Palace’s recruitment, the Emperor immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare luggage for all the Princes and Princesses, to set off promptly.

The status of an Inner Sect Disciple of Guanghan Palace far exceeded that of a Prince or Princess of a normal Human Dynasty.

If a Prince or Princess becomes a Holy Land Elder, the status of the Human Dynasty will also rise substantially.

“Our Ouyang Family has declined for a long time; if we have a disciple join Guanghan Palace, it will surely revive our family prestige.”

“You represent our Baihuo Sect to participate in the disciple selection of Guanghan Palace; if you gain wealth, do not forget us.”

“The Qi Destiny of our Great Earth Dynasty depends on you. If you can join Guanghan Palace, I will betroth my daughter to you.”

…

Various sects, Immortal Dynasties, and Prestigious Families sent their most talented disciples to participate in the disciple recruitment ceremony of Guanghan Sacred Land.

If one or two disciples could enter Guanghan Palace, they would more or less develop connections with Guanghan Palace.

In the eastern Immortal Realm, where numerous Human Dynasties exist, the Confucian Sect thrives.

Human Dynasties endlessly battle over territory and cultivation resources, enveloping the land in constant flames.

A village exuded thick smoke, corpses were strewn across the wild, broken armor, flags, wooden wheels, shattered spears, and Longswords littered the ground.

A few women in white descended, sheathed their Flying Swords, and gazed upon the devastated village and the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, frowning.

Their long skirts displayed the emblem of Guanghan Palace at the chest area.

“In the eastern Immortal Realm, the dynasties are countless. Despite occasional battles, things have never been this brutal. We’ve seen no fewer than three hundred battlefields along our journey. What has happened to the eastern Immortal Realm?”

“According to a Great Confucian from Weilong Academy, the infiltration of Blood Sea Palace and Evil Extreme Sect into the eastern Immortal Realm has deepened. The wars among Human Dynasties might be incited by Blood Sea Palace and Evil Extreme Sect behind the scenes.”
