Chapter 1571 - 451: A Millennium Passes, Lu Wushang Returns! The Heavenly Light Saint Arrives!
"Buzz."
Ripples spread circle after circle within the chaos.
Soon after, a figure emerged from those ripples.
The figure seemed a bit bewildered, glancing around to confirm that this was indeed chaos.
"Huff..."
"Finally out."
Lu Changsheng let out a breath of relief.
He looked around; he was indeed in the chaos, and seemed not far from the Illusion Spirit Abyss, just nearby.
"Myriad Sources Root Skill..."
In Lu Changsheng’s mind, the magic technique of the Myriad Sources Root Skill still existed.
However, currently there were only six layers.
And the six layers of the Myriad Sources Root Skill were essentially the Sixfold Blood Strengthening Technique.
In other words, Lu Changsheng made a journey to the Illusion Spirit Abyss and his cultivation rose from the fifth-tier to the sixth-tier.
The cultivation was elevated by a small realm.
However, this counts as the smallest gain.
What does elevating the cultivation by a small realm mean?
Every layer of the Myriad Sources Root Skill is over a hundred times more robust than the foundations of other cultivators.
A hundred times is just the base, not the limit.
It could even be a thousand times!
Now Lu Changsheng’s strength is so formidable, even relying on the physical body alone is terrifying.
Counting the time, Lu Changsheng has been in the Illusion Spirit Abyss for almost a thousand years.
This journey indeed took quite a long time.
"Returning."
Lu Changsheng plunged into the Cloud Palace, which swiftly transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the depths of chaos.
...
The Heavenly Light Saint Sect remains glorious and thriving.
This time period happens to be when the Heavenly Light Saint Sect is recruiting new disciples.
Due to the birth of an unparalleled prodigy in the Heavenly Light Saint Sect, the influence is too great.
Almost overshadowing all prodigies in the Baihua Domain.
Wooing an era in the Baihua Domain!
Therefore, each time the Heavenly Light Saint Sect recruits disciples, a multitude of talents flock in, hoping to enter the Heavenly Light Saint Sect.
But in recent years, there are rumors inside the Heavenly Light Saint Sect concerning some claims about Lu Changsheng, the unparalleled prodigy.
The unparalleled prodigy, Lu Changsheng, may have gotten lost in the Illusion Spirit Abyss.
Lu Changsheng undertaking the Illusion Spirit Abyss task is no secret.
The Illusion Spirit Abyss is not simple.
Even chaotic beings might get lost.
The crux is that getting lost in the Illusion Spirit Abyss does not equate to death.
The means left by Lu Changsheng at the Heavenly Light Saint Sect to determine death are utterly useless.
Once lost, it is akin to death.
Under normal circumstances, a cultivator at the god ascension level going to the Illusion Spirit Abyss would typically stay for at most ten years.
After all, the Illusion Spirit Abyss is different from other places.
Staying hundreds or even thousands of years elsewhere is no issue.
But the Illusion Spirit Abyss cannot be stayed long.
The longer the stay, the higher the chance of getting lost.
Many chaotic beings can only stay for a hundred years.
But Lu Changsheng?
Since Lu Changsheng accepted the task to go to the Illusion Spirit Abyss, it has already been a thousand years.
A thousand years and still no sign of Lu Changsheng returning to the Heavenly Light Saint Sect.
This already speaks volumes.
Lu Changsheng has not returned for such a long time.
Furthermore, it’s in the Illusion Spirit Abyss.
Even chaotic beings get lost.
A thousand years, Lu Changsheng most likely encountered an accident.
In fact, the Heavenly Light Saint Sect sent people to search in the Illusion Spirit Abyss, even dispatching chaotic beings.
However, the result was fruitless.
Some ascending god cultivators, some prodigies of the Heavenly Light Saint Sect, even went to the Illusion Spirit Abyss.
But they didn’t go to search for Lu Changsheng but for the Cloud Palace.
After all, everyone knows Liu Qing gave the Cloud Palace to Lu Changsheng then.
Now Lu Changsheng is lost in the Illusion Spirit Abyss. If found, the Cloud Palace might be obtainable.
This is a Chaos Treasure, causing those ascending god cultivators no end of temptation.
However, strangely, neither chaotic beings nor ascending god cultivators found Lu Changsheng in the Illusion Spirit Abyss.
Neither dead nor alive.
Even being lost, he could not be found.
This is quite strange.
Xing Ying even personally went to the Illusion Spirit Abyss.
But after a few layers, she could not withstand it.
Returning without success.
But recently Xing Ying ascended to the Sixfold Blood Strengthening Technique level, as a prodigy.
Such a rapid pace elevated Xing Ying’s status within the Phantom Clan vastly.
Xing Ying, leveraging her raised status, finally persuaded the clan’s old ancestor to search for Lu Changsheng in the Illusion Spirit Abyss.
The old ancestor of the Illusion Clan is a chaotic being.
Even though the Heavenly Light Saint Sect’s chaotic beings searched the Illusion Spirit Abyss once.
But Xing Ying was still unwilling to accept this.
She urged the old ancestor from her clan to take a trip.
The Phantom Old Ancestor knew that Xing Ying was well-acquainted with Lu Changsheng, seeing Xing Ying’s extraordinary talent, thus agreed.
It has now been ten years since going to the Illusion Spirit Abyss.
"Swish."
A figure appeared in Xing Ying’s cave mansion.
It was unmistakably the Phantom Old Ancestor.
"Old Ancestor, how did it go?"
Xing Ying asked expectantly.
Actually, she was already well aware that Lu Changsheng likely faced a grim fate.
But she was unwilling to accept it.
Since Liu Qing’s death, Lu Changsheng was almost Xing Ying’s only friend within the Heavenly Light Saint Sect.
The Phantom Clan’s old ancestor looked at Xing Ying, sighed deeply, and said, "Xing Ying, this time I went quite deep into the Illusion Spirit Abyss but unfortunately couldn’t find Lu Changsheng. A thousand years have passed; if he is still in the Illusion Spirit Abyss, he most likely met an ill fate..."
Having said that, the old ancestor promptly left.
Xing Ying’s expression was despondent.
In the end, this was the outcome.
She actually foresaw this long ago, yet only now did she give up hope.
"Sister Liu Qing, Lu Changsheng..."
Xing Ying knew that from now on, she would walk alone in the Heavenly Light Saint Sect.
Lu Changsheng was unaware that a thousand years after he left, a great upheaval stirred in the Heavenly Light Saint Sect.
