Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques Chapter 1384 - 405: The Centennial Pact, Return to the Boundary Sea! (Part 2)

The initial phase involved establishing the True Immortal Dojo. Following that, the Dao Field expanded to encompass a portion of the Blood Swamp Mountain Range. The ultimate objective was to achieve Golden Immortal Dojo status, integrating the entire mountain range into the Longevity Dao Field. Two of these stages have been successfully completed without any hitches.

Regarding the third stage, there's no need to hasten the process. Ascending to Heavenly Immortal status is still fresh, and already contemplating a Golden Immortal Dojo is perhaps looking too far ahead. Such ambition isn't always beneficial. Moreover, the current Longevity Dao Field is already remarkably vast, exceeding the size of many Heavenly Immortal Dojos. This is more than sufficient for the present.

Another critical aspect needs consideration. The Immortal Treasure, the Dragon Suppressing Pillar within his Dao Field, is indeed a treasure capable of growth. However, its potential seems to cap at the Heavenly Immortal realm. To transition into a Golden Immortal Dojo, Immortal Treasures of the Golden Immortal level would be necessary. Such treasures are, unfortunately, completely unknown to Lu Changsheng.

"After Heavenly Immortal comes Golden Immortal," he mused.

"Ascending to Heavenly Immortal requires an Immortal Body, whereas ascending to Golden Immortal demands Immortal Magical Power."

"Yet, I lack any Heavenly Immortal Cultivation Method..."

A multitude of thoughts raced through Lu Changsheng's mind. Knowing the general direction of cultivation is undoubtedly important. However, possessing only a vague path without specific magic techniques presents a significant challenge. Even if Lu Changsheng intended to devise his own cultivation method, he would require existing techniques as a basis for reference. Anything else would be mere fantasy, born from imagination alone.

What Lu Changsheng truly needs is a Heavenly Immortal Cultivation Method. The first individual that came to mind was the Lie Yang Immortal Monarch. This was the sole Heavenly Immortal known to him, and it was highly probable that Lie Yang Immortal Monarch possessed knowledge of a Heavenly Immortal Cultivation Method. However, their relationship wasn't exactly cordial. Even if he were to seek assistance, would the other party readily share a cultivation method? It was unlikely.

Nevertheless, there was another location Lu Changsheng knew held a Heavenly Immortal Cultivation Method, though it was fraught with considerable danger.

"The Outer Heaven Battlefield..." Lu Changsheng whispered.

Now that he had attained Heavenly Immortal status, it was only a matter of time before someone approached him, summoning him to the Outer Heaven Battlefield. Lu Changsheng's premonition proved accurate. Merely a few months after reaching the Heavenly Immortal stage, three Heavenly Immortal Monarchs materialized.

The three Immortal Monarchs hovered outside the Longevity Dao Field, their presence exuding a formidable aura. Despite their power, they maintained a respectful demeanor, waiting patiently beyond the Dao Field's boundaries. Lu Changsheng extended an invitation, welcoming the trio into his Longevity Dao Field. Shortly thereafter, they convened in the main hall.

Upon beholding Lu Changsheng, the three immediately announced their purpose and identities. "We are Immortal Monarchs from the Heavenly Court."

"We have journeyed here to deliver the Recruitment Order to you, Friend Lu."

"Kindly accept this order, Friend Lu." One of the Immortal Monarchs then presented a token. Lu Changsheng caught it, observing the inscription "Heavenly Court" upon its surface.

"The Heavenly Court?" Lu Changsheng's heart sank. He was, of course, aware of the Heavenly Court. Legends spoke of it as an exceptionally ancient organization within the Heavenly Realm, yet it rarely involved itself in internal Heavenly Realm affairs, maintaining a notably passive presence. It seemed like a detached entity.

However, this encounter suggested that the previous rumors about the Heavenly Court were only partially true. The Heavenly Court was not entirely absent, nor was it as detached as believed. Its non-intervention was primarily limited to the internal matters of the Heavenly Realm. The Heavenly Court concerned itself with affairs beyond the Heavenly Realm's borders, particularly those related to the Outer Heaven Battlefield. Once recruited to the outer heavens, individuals fell under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court.

"Friend Lu, the Recruitment Order contains comprehensive details that you will comprehend by sensing its contents."

"Very well, having delivered the order, we shall take our leave."

"However, a final caution: You must arrive at the Heavenly Court Headquarters before the stipulated deadline. Failure to do so, irrespective of the reason, will result in Golden Immortal enforcers from the Heavenly Court Headquarters being dispatched to forcibly apprehend you, potentially even leading to your demise!"

With these final words, the three turned and departed. They engaged Lu Changsheng in no further conversation, their mission strictly limited to delivering the Recruitment Order. "A Recruitment Order..." Lu Changsheng understood that all necessary information was contained within this token. He then focused his consciousness into the Recruitment Order. "Boom." Indeed, a wealth of information flooded his consciousness, all pertaining to the summons.

For instance, the location of the Heavenly Court Headquarters was a key detail.

As well as the deadline provided.

This deadline, stipulated by the Recruitment Order, was surprisingly generous.

They had actually allocated a whole century!

Yes, a full hundred years.

A hundred years for Heavenly Immortals to finalize all personal matters.

Offering such a substantial period to settle affairs around Heavenly Immortals could only imply one thing.

Once one entered the Outer Heaven Battlefield, the return journey might prove exceptionally challenging.

"A hundred years..."

This duration might seem trivial to many True Immortals.

It could vanish in the blink of an eye.

However, for Lu Changsheng, it represented a considerable expanse of time.

He was currently just over two hundred years old, not yet three hundred.

A century offered more than enough time to address any pending issues.

"Boundary Sea..."

Lu Changsheng's thoughts turned to the Boundary Sea.

He harbored a strong desire to return to that place.

Furthermore, he intended to contend for the "opportunities" that lay within the Boundary Sea.

Yet, venturing down to the Boundary Sea was no simple feat.

The pathways for descent were under the strict control of several major powers.

These dominant forces were all comprised of Heavenly Immortal-level cultivators.

However, was Lu Changsheng not also a Heavenly Immortal now?

He possessed the capability to challenge those powers single-handedly.

"Wait, if it were other lower realms, descent pathways might indeed be necessary."

"But I myself ascended from the Boundary Sea; I am intrinsically a being of that realm."

"Moreover, I retain a clone in the Boundary Sea, which serves as a coordinate, enabling me to pinpoint its location."

"I can attempt a direct descent back to the Boundary Sea!"

Lu Changsheng's eyes flashed with a brilliant spark.

Generally speaking, Immortals were forbidden from descending to the lower realms.
