Chapter 1 A Beauty Appears

On the carved balustrade of the staircase, a pair of incredibly slender legs appeared, attracting countless gazes.

Si Kong Nanqin wore a cyan dress, her beauty unparalleled. In stark contrast to Qian Yunrou, who seemed untouched by worldly affairs, Si Kong Nanqin possessed a pair of eyes that were endlessly captivating, holding a charm that could bewitch the world.

Truly, she was a femme fatale.

At this moment, a name involuntarily surfaced in Lu Changsheng’s mind.

Su Daji.

Indeed, Si Kong Nanqin wasn't the overtly seductive type, but rather possessed a captivating charm, a charm that made people instinctively want to kneel at her pomegranate skirt.

Everyone in the hall held their breath.

Her beauty was breathtaking.

Yet, Lu Changsheng alone remained clear-headed.

Perhaps it was because he had seen too many beauties. First, there was Ziyun, then the Linglong Saintess, and now Si Kong Nanqin. He didn't have any grand notions.

If he had to say, Lu Changsheng was only slightly interested in one woman.

And that was...

Before Lu Changsheng could finish his thought, a fragrant breeze suddenly wafted over.

Soon, Lu Changsheng saw Si Kong Nanqin standing right in front of him. They were almost face to face. If Lu Changsheng were bold enough, they could be at zero distance.

Si Kong Nanqin looked at Lu Changsheng, her captivating eyes revealing a hint of surprise.

She gazed at Lu Changsheng, her eyes exuding allure.

This was a natural charm, not a Daoist art, but a matter of constitution. Anyone who met her gaze would involuntarily fall in love with her.

Lu Changsheng looked at Si Kong Nanqin.

Si Kong Nanqin looked at Lu Changsheng.

The two stared at each other, as if time had frozen.

The others stared intently at Si Kong Nanqin, finding her exquisite beauty hard to resist.

Only a few geniuses were able to maintain their composure.

"Is that all there is to this so-called beauty? She's not even as good-looking as that horse at the entrance." Longma's eyes were filled with disdain.

"Although that horse isn't good-looking either, it's indeed better looking than this woman," Gu Aotian nodded in agreement with Longma.

However, some people felt nervous.

"Senior Brother Lu, please don't be bewitched."

"It's over. Senior Brother Lu has fallen for it."

"It's all over. Si Kong Nanqin is known as the number one troublemaker in the world. I didn't expect Senior Brother Lu to be into this type."

"Looks like Senior Brother Lu doesn't like pure beauties like the Saintess, but prefers this kind."

"You talk as if you don't like her?"

"Uh... you know what, I actually like her quite a bit, hehe."

The crowd discussed in hushed voices.

Mainly because Lu Changsheng and Si Kong Nanqin had been staring at each other for too long, making people subconsciously think that Lu Changsheng had already fallen under her spell.

Just then, Lu Changsheng's voice slowly rang out.

"Fairy Nanqin, aren't your eyes dry?"

Lu Changsheng's eyes were clear and bright, revealing a hint of curiosity.

Si Kong Nanqin: "??????"

I'm trying to seduce you, and you're asking me if my eyes are dry?

Pfft!

At that moment, a burst of laughter came from the ancient building.

It was from the Linglong Saintess.

She initially thought that Lu Changsheng had fallen for Si Kong Nanqin's trick.

But she didn't expect Lu Changsheng to ask if her eyes were dry.

"It didn't work?"

Si Kong Nanqin frowned slightly.

Her charm was innate. As long as it was a man, he would be attracted to her. Even if it was a Buddhist monk, she believed she could make him willingly return to secular life.

But she didn't expect it to have no effect on Lu Changsheng.

How could she not be shocked?

This...wasn't logical.

Could it be that he wasn't a man?

Si Kong Nanqin was astonished.

However, Lu Changsheng shook his head and walked upstairs.

Clearly, another self-absorbed woman.

Lu Changsheng didn't really like interacting with this kind of woman. Firstly, because these women were very smart, and smart women were trouble. Secondly, because these women always had a sense of superiority.

They always thought that their charm was unmatched and that all men, except for eunuchs, should bow at their pomegranate skirts.

Unfortunately, Lu Changsheng ate everything, except this kind of thing.

When it came to women, Ziyun silently devoted herself to him, simply liking him, the Linglong Saintess was pure and cute, and the Linglong Saint Master was even more so. These were the real women.

Lu Changsheng had no interest in women like Si Kong Nanqin.

And the most important thing was that Lu Changsheng vaguely felt that Si Kong Nanqin had some ulterior motives.

Although he had no evidence, a boy traveling outside should still be careful. It wouldn't be good if he ran into a female demon.

Arriving upstairs, Lu Changsheng entered the Linglong Saintess's private room.

"Junior Sister Yunrou, I've invited a few friends to drink together. Will it be a problem?"

Lu Changsheng asked gently, his handsome face carrying a faint smile, as warm and gentle as jade.

"No."

The Linglong Saintess shook her head.

It was still more pleasing to be with this kind of pure and obedient girl.

Soon, Wang Xuanji, Zhang Yuanru, Li Rulong, Xu Jian, Li Ran, Wang Fugui, and several other holy sons were invited upstairs by Lu Changsheng.

There was more atmosphere with more people.

"Senior Brother Lu, I'm really envious of you. Not only is your cultivation extraordinary, but you also have great luck with women. Ziyun of Da Luo, the Linglong Saintess, and Si Kong Nanqin, sigh!"

"Yeah, we're all envious."

"Alright, alright, Junior Sister Yunrou is sitting here, don't talk nonsense."

Lu Changsheng chuckled lightly, while Qian Yunrou remained calm. She didn't understand these things very well.

"Let's not talk about this."

"Mm, let's not talk about this."

The crowd didn't delve deeper into this topic.

However, after a few drinks, their conversation turned to the Heavenly Yuan Holy Land.

"This time, an old king walked out of the Heavenly Yuan Holy Land alive. Although that old king is in a coma, it cannot be denied that he extended his life."

Wang Xuanji said seriously.

"Yes, the Heavenly Yuan Holy Land is rumored to be the place that led to the Immortal World in ancient times. Its reappearance should be a good thing for us."

"The elders of my sect speculate that the appearance of the Heavenly Yuan Holy Land should be a good thing. For example, Senior Brother Lu made a grand vow to heaven and earth yesterday, which was transmitted to the Immortal World and obtained the Xuanhuang Dragon. This proves that the Holy Land can still lead to the Immortal World, but there are some troubles."

"If it can really lead directly to the Immortal World, it would be a good thing, at least we wouldn't have to go through the tribulation of lightning anymore."

The Yin Yang Holy Son said.

"Lightning tribulation? Is it terrifying?"

As a transmigrator, Lu Changsheng didn't know much about lightning tribulations.

"It's very terrifying. Out of a hundred Mahayana cultivators, less than one can truly pass the immortal lightning and ascend to become an immortal. Senior Brother Lu, in fact, there are many older generation cultivators in our cultivation world who have long reached the Mahayana realm. However, the reason they don't ascend is not because they are greedy for the mortal world, but because of the lightning tribulation."

The Ziqing Holy Son said.

"Yes, the tribulation is not only about passing ordinary lightning tribulations, but also primordial spirit lightning tribulations and blood energy lightning tribulations. Generally speaking, cultivating to the Mahayana realm takes at least several thousand years. Even if the blood energy hasn't withered, it's still almost at the end of its life. At this time, it's difficult to succeed in passing the tribulation."

"Yes, yes!"

"The most suitable age for becoming an immortal is about a thousand years old. Exceeding this number greatly increases the possibility of failing the tribulation."

The crowd discussed, giving Lu Changsheng a comparison.

"Then, what are the chances of my master succeeding in the tribulation?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"The Da Luo Holy Master?"

The crowd pondered for a while.

Then they replied.

"If we're talking about the Da Luo Holy Master, he has about a 70% chance of success."

"The Da Luo Holy Master is indeed a leader among the Holy Masters. 70% is about right."

"Senior Brother Lu, your master, the Da Luo Holy Master, has extraordinary strength and is also young, not too old, so about 70%."

The crowd gave this answer.

The crowd's answer made Lu Changsheng even more aware of the terror of the lightning tribulation.

Even someone as strong as his master only had a 70% chance of success.

"By the way, if the Heavenly Yuan Holy Land can really lead to immortality, will you all go?"

At that moment, the Yin Yang Holy Son asked.

"I won't go! I won't go even if you beat me to death."

Lu Changsheng took a sip of wine and replied directly.

However, before the others could ask Lu Changsheng why he answered that way.

Suddenly.

A series of voices suddenly rang out.

"The road to immortality has appeared!"

"The road to immortality has appeared!"

"Holy Sons, come quickly!"

"Xuanji, come quickly!"

"Rulong, come on!"

A series of voices rang out, coming from the Heavenly Yuan Holy Land.

Like thunder rolling, they seemed extremely excited.

"Changsheng, come and become an immortal!"

At that moment, a Supreme Elder of the Da Luo Holy Land also sent a voice transmission.

In an instant, Mingyue Ancient City was shaken!
