Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques

In just an instant, Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian's mental domains were suppressed by Lu Changsheng.

"How is this possible?"

"Six… six laws?!"

"Unbelievable… truly unbelievable… he actually mastered six laws!"

"I recall that when Brother Lu fought Daoist Monarch Shanhai, he had only mastered four laws, similar to us. But now, in just a year's time, Brother Lu has comprehended two more laws. Such a speed in understanding laws is simply unimaginable..."

Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian's hearts trembled violently.

Their minds erupted in a storm of shock.

Six laws. Just by the sheer number alone, there was no doubt that Lu Changsheng was now the undisputed first in the Heavenly Sect of the Ancient Domain!

Currently, among the Dao Foundation martial artists of the Heavenly Sect in the Ancient Domain, the strongest were those who had mastered five laws.

But even they could not compare to Lu Changsheng, who had mastered six laws!

Faced with the suppression of their mental domains by Lu Changsheng, Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian felt inferior.

Though they still had certain divine skills they had not yet used, Lu Changsheng also had his own divine skills.

"Impressive!"

"Brother Lu, since you've already mastered six laws, naturally your assistance demands a higher price."

"Brother Lu, what do you want?"

Both their gazes locked on Lu Changsheng.

They wanted to hear his terms.

If they could meet them, they would. If not, then the matter would have to be abandoned.

"Ten drops of Heavenly Demon Essence Blood, plus the Law Divine Stone you mentioned earlier. If you can provide these, I, Brother Lu, will accompany you to the Secret Realm!"

Lu Changsheng spoke.

And with that, he demanded ten drops of Heavenly Demon Essence Blood.

In truth, even six drops of Heavenly Demon Essence Blood had already stretched the two to the limit.

But ten drops? That meant each of them would need to provide five drops.

Even though they were top-tier Dao Foundation martial artists and had operated in the third level of the Ancient Domain for a long time, this would likely require them to completely empty their reserves to gather ten drops of Heavenly Demon Essence Blood.

In reality, Lu Changsheng only needed four drops of Heavenly Demon Essence Blood to master the remaining two laws.

But Lu Changsheng also needed Heavenly Demon Essence Blood to speed up the cultivation of laws.

The more Heavenly Demon Essence Blood, the better.

After all, he aimed to bring his laws to the pinnacle.

Of course, due to Lu Changsheng's formidable comprehension, he hardly needed the Law Divine Stone.

However, if he could obtain one, it would still be a big advantage.

He could even exchange the Law Divine Stone for more Heavenly Demon Essence Blood.

By venturing into a Secret Realm, there was a chance he could acquire a significant amount of Heavenly Demon Essence Blood, possibly perfecting all eight of his laws in the process.

"Ten drops… We agree!"

Finally, Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian gritted their teeth and agreed.

They thought of the Law Divine Stone.

And then of the Divine Power Realm.

No matter how steep the price, the opportunity to acquire the Law Divine Stone made it all worth it!

After all, this was the key to whether they could condense divine skills or not.

"You two have made a wise decision,"

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

"However, we also have one condition."

"If we die, regardless of whether the Law Divine Stone is obtained or not, you—Brother Lu—will receive no Heavenly Demon Essence Blood."

Zhao Yujian added unexpectedly.

In truth, before, such a scenario had not even crossed their minds.

After all, they were already standing at the pinnacle of the Dao Foundation.

They might lose to certain powerful opponents.

But for anyone to kill them? That would be immensely difficult.

Over the years, they had accumulated many ways to survive.

They even possessed multiple Teleportation Talismans.

And treasures even more potent than the Teleportation Talismans.

However, upon witnessing Lu Changsheng's mastery over six laws,

Their hearts were rippling with unease,

Or perhaps it was a hint of trepidation toward Lu Changsheng.

What if?

What if Lu Changsheng decided to make a move against them in the Secret Realm?

Even though they all hailed from the same sect, it was always better to be cautious.

Lu Changsheng naturally understood their concerns.

Thus, without hesitation, he nodded and said, "No problem. If the two of you fall, I, Brother Lu, will forgo all claims to the Heavenly Demon Essence Blood."

"But if you survive the Secret Realm yet fail to secure the Law Divine Stone, I will not make a wasted trip—it must be compensated with four drops of Heavenly Demon Essence Blood."

"Moreover, the four drops of Heavenly Demon Essence Blood must be entrusted to an intermediary."

After a moment of deliberation, the pair agreed to Lu Changsheng's terms.

Four drops of Heavenly Demon Essence Blood were manageable.

For the sake of the Law Divine Stone, they had to take this risk.

Besides, entering a large-scale Secret Realm with their combined strength practically guaranteed they could secure at least one Law Divine Stone.

Returning empty-handed was improbable.

"Fine, we agree."

"As for the intermediary, how about Zhao Yuanshan?"

Lu Changsheng naturally agreed upon hearing their suggestion.

Having Zhao Yuanshan act as intermediary put his mind at ease.

Thus, the trio headed directly to the Trading Hall, where they found Zhao Yuanshan and explained the details.

Zhao Yuanshan naturally agreed with enthusiasm.

After all, both Lu Changsheng and Xia Chengfeng, along with Zhao Yujian, had been his "big clients" in the past. Lending them such a small favor was no issue at all.

"Everything is settled. Brother Lu, prepare yourself. In three days, we set off for the Secret Realm!"

"Very well; we depart in three days."

With the terms finalized, Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian left the Trading Hall.

Just as Lu Changsheng was about to leave, Zhao Yuanshan stopped him.

"Brother Lu, during this trip to the Secret Realm, if you happen to acquire extra Law Divine Stones, would you consider sparing one for me?"

"Rest assured, I won't let Brother Lu suffer losses. One Law Divine Stone for six drops of Heavenly Demon Essence Blood. Moreover, I'll waive the one drop of Heavenly Demon Essence Blood you've lent."

"All I want is a single Law Divine Stone..."

Zhao Yuanshan's gaze carried a glimmer of yearning.

The Law Divine Stone!

This was a treasure of immense value, beyond reach for many.

Its value surpassed mere trade. Even when one obtained it, it was rarely sold, as martial artists would prioritize it for personal use.

Although Zhao Yuanshan possessed Heavenly Demon Essence Blood, he couldn't purchase a Law Divine Stone anywhere.

With his talents, advancing a single law to perfection could take decades, even centuries, without a Law Divine Stone—let alone achieving the divine condensation of skills.

A single Law Divine Stone granted him a sliver of hope to ascend to the Divine Power Realm.

"A Law Divine Stone..."

Lu Changsheng's eyes lingered on Zhao Yuanshan.

"If I obtain additional Law Divine Stones, I will naturally spare one for you, Brother Zhao."

With those words, Lu Changsheng turned and left.

"Thank you, Brother Lu..."

Overcome with excitement, Zhao Yuanshan bowed deeply toward Lu Changsheng's departing figure, a trace of joy unconcealed on his face.

Finally, there was hope!

All the goodwill and small favors he extended to Lu Changsheng over the years, continually maintaining their relationship, were now yielding immense rewards.

Lu Changsheng quickly returned to his Cave Mansion and began his preparations.

After all, in a Secret Realm, anything could happen. Being thoroughly prepared was never wrong—it was always prudent to guard against contingencies.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed in a flash.

Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian appeared once again, arriving at Lu Changsheng's Cave Mansion together.
