Chapter 1: Have You Eaten? Above Cangzhou, peaks rose and fell in an endless expanse of spiritual beauty and natural elegance. Here, an ancient Sect had stood unyielding for millennia. Two figures walked along the winding mountain path, making their way toward the towering peak ahead. One was a handsome young man with an upright […]

Chapter 2: Myriad Tribulations Immortal Physique At the foot of the mountain peak, the three exchanged glances. Ye Tianyi’s face was dark, fundamentally at a loss for words. Lin Po shook his head in helpless resignation. “Changsheng, your Senior Brother has been traveling the world with your Master for ten years and has only just

Chapter 3: I Must Have Been Blind The night was hazy, enveloping the Cangyun Immortal Sect in profound tranquility. Suddenly, a long, agonizing howl shattered the silence. Countless brilliant rays of light erupted from Cangyun Peak as a figure staggered haphazardly into the sky. It was the Sect Leader of the Cangyun Immortal Sect, Luo

Chapter 4: I Am Well-Read The young girl arrived in a frantic rush. Upon hearing that his Eldest Senior Brother had suffered a mishap, Ye Tianyi’s face instantly contorted with anxiety. Yet, he was profoundly baffled. If there was a cultivation deviation, why not seek out the Elders or the Sect Leader? What possible use

Chapter 5: The Enchanting Courtesan Soon, Lu Changsheng arrived in Cangyun City. The streets were a bustling tapestry of mortal life. Peddlers hawked their wares along the roadside, their cries weaving through the laughter of children chasing each other through the crowds. Young maidens browsed vibrant rouges and powders at stalls, matrons traded idle gossip,

Chapter 6: Do You Know What a Local Tyrant Is? The two of them admired the moon and enjoyed the evening breeze, engaged in joyful conversation. However, this tranquility was abruptly shattered when someone barged into the pavilion. “Esteemed young master, Lady Muyue is occupied today. Perhaps you could grace us with your presence another

Chapter 7: Lu Changsheng? No Need to Fear! The pavilion had been swept clean; a serene calm had returned to the Drunken Moon Pavilion. Su Muyue stood in silence, her expression an unreadable mask as she replayed the recent events in her mind. “What occupies your thoughts, Young Miss?” an elderly man approached, unable to

Chapter 8: Are You Up to It? Soon, a Sect Elder rushed to the scene, only to find it completely deserted. Lu Changsheng watched quietly from a distance. He had no need to step forward; the Ning family guards would naturally handle the debriefing. As expected, the moment the Elder arrived, the frantic Ning family

Chapter 9: Honest and Fair On the tranquil mountain peak, the two stood facing each other. Ning Yuxin gazed at Lu Changsheng with utter sincerity, yet her eyes brimmed with profound skepticism. “What do you mean, ‘am I up to it’? Young miss, have you ever heard of the Sword Heart Clarity Pill?” “I have

Chapter 10: Money Works The next morning, Ye Tianyi ruthlessly dragged Lu Changsheng from the sweet embrace of sleep. True to his terrifying promise from the day before, he was taking his Junior Brother out for mandatory morning cultivation. In the blink of an eye, they had already bypassed the gates of the Cangyun Sect.

Chapter 11: A Conscientious Seller With just a single sentence from Lu Changsheng, Ning Yuxin’s spirit was entirely revitalized. As the beloved daughter of Cangzhou’s wealthiest patriarch, capital was the absolute last thing she lacked. If she could literally buy her way to higher Sword Dao comprehension, it was undoubtedly the most efficient and painless

Chapter 12: A Slight Twinge of Conscience Deep within the Sect, beneath Cangyun Peak, wisps of mist curled and swept through the mountain stream, revealing a secluded valley. The valley was narrow and utterly barren. Sharp, heaven-piercing sword qi spiraled into the sky, yet it remained eerily silent, radiating an oppressive aura that deterred anyone

Chapter 13: Will You Die If You Don’t Show Off? Lu Changsheng returned to Qingyun Peak, his face clouded with immense stress. His previously optimized, low-overhead lifestyle had been completely shattered. He was busy coaching Ning Yuxin in Cultivation to generate Spirit Stones, and now his Second Senior Brother had forcibly drafted him into a

Chapter 14: The Sect Leader’s Resentful Gaze A cyan light flashed, and the entire Sect entered a state of maximum combat readiness. Elders and stewards who had been in Secluded Cultivation emerged one after another. Based on historical data, the beast tide would arrive in two or three days. Lu Changsheng watched this mobilization with

Chapter 15: When You Call for Help, Make Sure to Shout Loudly Everything was in place. At Luo Tian’s command, a thunderous cheer erupted. Countless figures stepped into the void, taking flight via Sword Riding. From afar, streaks of brilliant rainbow light arched across Cangyun City, looking for all the world as if a legion

Chapter 16: Phantom God Flower By the seventh day of the beast tide, casualties were mounting across all fronts, though the attrition rates remained within the Sect’s acceptable corporate projections. Despite lacking a Peak Master to anchor their formation, Azure Cloud Peak possessed Zhou Qingyu. Under his vanguard, their sector was a meatgrinder, vastly eclipsing

Chapter 17: Thousand-Net Tower Everything on the battlefield fell under the absolute domain of Lu Changsheng’s Divine Sense. He locked his focus onto the shadowy figure. It was definitely not someone from the Cangyun Sect, and its target was dead obvious—Zhou Qingyu. By now, the bulk of the disciples had retreated to the safety of

Chapter 18: Thank You, Xuantian Sect! A moment later, Lu Changsheng slipped back onto the battlefield. As far as the eye could see, the raging sea of fire had dwindled to smoldering ash. Many disciples and Elders, alerted by the sudden upheaval, had rushed to the scene. They quickly investigated the cause of the anomaly.

Chapter 19: As Long As The Price Is Right! For several consecutive days, the mountain remained dead silent. Lu Changsheng slept under the ancient pine tree, silently digesting the lingering agony of his breakthrough. He had originally been running surveillance to see when the Xuantian Sect envoys would pack up, but the bastards had simply

Chapter 20: The Cost of Doing Business Although it was still early morning, Cangyun City was already bustling with vibrant activity. Lu Changsheng and Ning Yuxin strolled along the main thoroughfare. He was a frequent visitor to the city, often wandering its streets whenever he had time to kill. Ning Yuxin, however, hadn’t stepped foot

Chapter 21: You Win This Round The young man sauntered over. The naked provocation in his eyes was completely undisguised. Ning Yuxin furrowed her brow. Initially, she assumed this was one of Lu Changsheng’s personal enemies arriving to settle a grudge. Yet, as she scrutinized the young man’s face, she drew a blank. She had

Chapter 22: You Think You’ve Made a Killing, But I Never Lose Lu Changsheng and Ning Yuxin had already left the pavilion. They strolled through the bustling streets of Cangyun City. Ning Yuxin trailed beside him, hesitating for a long while before finally speaking up. “Senior Brother Lu, I actually still have some Spirit Stones

Chapter 23: Sword Dao Eighth Layer? No words were spoken that night, and Lu Changsheng did not show himself for the entirety of the following day. Ning Yuxin waited in silence, lost in her own thoughts, sitting in a prolonged daze. It wasn’t until the early dawn of the third day that Lu Changsheng finally

Chapter 24: Shouldn’t You Give Me Justice? The Sword Grotto violently erupted, unleashing a terrifying tide of power. Myriad strands of sword qi churned the heavens, disturbing the entire Cangyun Sect. Outside the Sword Grotto, the disciple who had accompanied Wang Ming collapsed to the ground in sheer terror. He had sensed the impending danger

Chapter 25: Ancestor’s Dominance Zhao Jing was forced to her knees, an invisible force ruthlessly slapping her face over and over again. The young man beside her lunged forward to intervene, only to be crushed into the dirt by the exact same oppressive power. “You insolent bastards! I am an Elder of the Divine Thunder

Chapter 26: Extortion on the Spot The Cangyun Sect enjoyed several days of absolute tranquility, without a single disruption. Lu Changsheng finally emerged from his alchemy room. The Chiling Pills were fully refined; all he had to do now was secure the necessary capital to fund his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm. Once he

Chapter 27: Arriving from All Directions Lu Changsheng’s claims grew increasingly outrageous, casually tossing out an extortionate “settlement fee” of thirty thousand Spirit Stones. Lin Po stared, dumbfounded. Meng Lang gaped at him, paralyzed by sheer disbelief. His mind scrambled for a counterargument, but came up utterly empty. As the acting manager of Qingyun Peak,

Chapter 28: The Cangyun Diagram Two days later, above the Cangyun Sect, streaks of divine radiance pierced the heavens. A celestial anomaly manifested in the sky. Sheets of brilliant light cascaded downward as ripples emerged in the void, spreading outward like stones cast into a tranquil lake. The gathered crowds tilted their heads upward, their

Chapter 29: Stirrings from All Sides Staring at the scroll resting in his palms, Lu Changsheng fell into a profound, cynical silence. While the outside world’s elite prodigies racked their brains and exhausted every conceivable method to locate the fabled Cangyun Diagram, the damn thing had literally dropped from the sky, directly targeting his skull

Chapter 30: Not Even Pretending? Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged on the solitary peak, just moments away from completing his cultivation cycle. But an uninvited variable stepped into his sector, disrupting his flow. From a distance, the intruder’s eyes burned with toxic resentment, a sneer of arrogant mockery twisting his lips. “Lu Changsheng, it’s been a
