Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques Chapter 1349 396: Lu Changsheng's High-Profile Arrival! The Name of the Longevity True Immortal Shakes the World!
Nevertheless, Lu Changsheng possessed no fear towards the Great Immortal of Lu City confronting him. Even if the Great Immortal of Lu City had established his own Dao Field, Lu Changsheng was confident that he could depart without hindrance, as even such a formidable Dao Field would be powerless to stop him. In this regard, Lu Changsheng held unwavering confidence.
Nonetheless, Lu Changsheng's arrival did not go unnoticed, drawing the attention of several individuals within Lu City. “Could that be… the True Immortal Lu from the Longevity Dao Field?” someone exclaimed. “Ah, the Longevity Immortal Lu! Has he actually returned to Lu City?” Another chimed in, their voice filled with surprise. “The Longevity Immortal originally hailed from Lu City, and now he has founded his very own Dao Field. Whispers suggest that the expanse of the Longevity Dao Field surpasses even Lu City itself, pointing towards a future of limitless potential.” The murmurs continued, with one person adding, “Furthermore, it’s said that the Longevity Dao Field is protected by an Ancient Immortal Beast…” For a brief moment, countless gazes converged upon Lu Changsheng. It was undeniable that Lu Changsheng had become a significant topic of discussion lately.
It was also worth noting that Lu Changsheng had previously been known as ‘Old Ancestor Lu’ within the Qi Family. His renown in Lu City was widespread, and many recognized him instantly. The very instant Lu Changsheng set foot within Lu City, the Great Immortal of Lu City was made aware of his presence. After all, this was the domain governed by the Great Immortal of Lu City, and any disturbance within would be apparent to him. Consequently, upon Lu Changsheng's arrival, the Great Immortal of Lu City personally emerged to offer a welcome.
This unexpected gesture left the assembled crowd even more astonished. Witnessing the esteemed Great Immortal of Lu City personally escort Lu Changsheng, it became abundantly clear how much regard was now placed upon the ‘True Master of Longevity.’ His standing was no longer what it once was! “Brother Lu, please,” the Great Immortal of Lu City said, extending a gesture of invitation. This personal welcome from the Great Immortal of Lu City demonstrated considerable respect towards Lu Changsheng. Without any pretense of modesty, Lu Changsheng proceeded into the main hall alongside the Great Immortal.
Inside the main hall, only Lu Changsheng and the Great Immortal of Lu City were present. Although it was merely the two of them, and the main hall was not a particularly secluded location, this was, after all, the Dao Field of the Great Immortal of Lu City. Here, he held absolute dominion over his surroundings. To elaborate, even if they were amidst a bustling crowd, should the Great Immortal wish for their conversation to remain unheard, no one would be able to discern a single word. Eavesdropping or spying would be entirely out of the question.
“May I inquire why the Great Immortal seeks out Brother Lu?” Lu Changsheng asked directly, cutting to the chase. The Great Immortal of Lu City offered a slight smile and replied, “I have indeed extended a bold invitation to Brother Lu today, and there is a matter I wish to discuss.” He paused for a moment before asking, “Have you heard of Red Moon City?”
Lu Changsheng contemplated for a moment. He then nodded and affirmed, “Of course, I have. The Great Immortal of Red Moon is an ancient immortal who has successfully navigated two physical tribulations. He is widely renowned and deeply respected among numerous true immortals.” Indeed, Lu Changsheng was quite familiar with the legend of the Great Immortal of Red Moon; he was practically a mythical figure. “Could it be,” Lu Changsheng ventured, “that the Great Immortal of Lu City’s summons this time pertains to the affairs of the Great Immortal of Red Moon?”
“Precisely, it is indeed concerning the Great Immortal of Red Moon,” the Great Immortal of Lu City confirmed. “The Great Immortal of Red Moon has already undergone two physical tribulations. However, the time for his third physical tribulation is now fast approaching. He is on the precipice of facing this ordeal, yet the Great Immortal of Red Moon is keenly aware that this particular tribulation is likely to be exceedingly perilous.” He continued, “The Great Immortal of Red Moon personally established the Red Moon City Dao Field. Should he falter in this third tribulation, leading to his demise and cessation of existence, his Dao Field will inevitably crumble. Without the protection of the Dao Field, how can Red Moon City possibly endure?”
“Therefore,” the Great Immortal of Lu City explained, “the Great Immortal of Red Moon is extending a broad invitation to various immortals to personally bear witness to his undergoing of the physical tribulation. In the event that he does not emerge victorious, the Great Immortal of Red Moon intends to entrust the future of Red Moon City in advance.” He then revealed his true intention: “This time, the Great Immortal of Red Moon has invited many esteemed immortals, the majority of whom are great immortals. I harbor certain aspirations regarding Red Moon City. However, relying solely on my own strength, I fear it would be difficult to claim Red Moon City. Hence, I wish to join forces with Brother Lu.”
“If you and I can form an alliance, then the Great Immortal of Red Moon might consider our joint proposal with greater seriousness,” the Great Immortal of Lu City stated candidly. There was virtually no pretense of concealment in his words. In matters of this nature, mutual transparency is paramount. Any attempt at deception would render future cooperation impossible. The Great Immortal of Lu City made no secret of his ambitions concerning Red Moon City. Perhaps, the Great Immortal of Lu City also harbored a desire to understand how the Great Immortal of Red Moon managed to overcome two physical tribulations. After all, the Great Immortal of Lu City himself would soon face his own physical tribulations, and he lacked confidence in his ability to succeed.
Consequently, his attention was drawn to Red Moon City.
Lu Changsheng, however, felt a stirring of interest as well.
Red Moon City, indeed.
It was a Dao Field.
And a Dao Field that had weathered two physical tribulations, its profundity and heritage were unimaginable.
How deep were its accumulated resources and lineage?
It was simply beyond comprehension.
The notion of the Great Immortal of Red Moon seeking to 'entrust' it seemed perfectly reasonable to Lu Changsheng.
After all, the Great Immortal of Red Moon had founded the Red Moon City Dao Field and undoubtedly possessed relatives and friends.
Having accompanied him for so many years, bonds of affection had naturally formed.
Even in death, he couldn't find peace knowing they were uncared for.
If left to their own devices, many would perish.
Without question, everyone's gaze would be fixed upon Red Moon City.
Only by entrusting Red Moon City to other powerful immortals before his demise could he secure a chance for survival for his loved ones.
This presented the optimal resolution.
Thus, the Great Immortal of Red Moon's invitation to numerous immortals, under the guise of bearing witness, was in reality a plea for custodianship.
This substantial 'prize,' everyone was eager to claim a portion.
Lu Changsheng was no exception.
He was indeed grappling with a shortage of Crystal Stones.
If the Qi Family were to amass them gradually, when would they ever reach the required amount?
But the circumstances had shifted; the opportunity had now arrived.
"Very well."
"However, should we succeed in obtaining the Great Immortal of Red Moon's entrustment, the subsequent allocation of Red Moon City..."
Lu Changsheng, naturally, wished to establish terms beforehand.
Otherwise, would he and the Great Immortal of Lu City find themselves in conflict?
There was no need for such a predicament.
A preliminary agreement would ensure a smoother path forward.
Consequently, the pair commenced discussions on how to 'apportion' Red Moon City.
