Chapter 196: Secret Realm Heaven and Earth, All Beings Like Ants! Lu Changsheng Steps Through the Air, Taichang Sacred Land Trembles! _3
"You're saying that in the Secret Realm, the power of our Dao Foundation and Foundation Establishment will become immensely strong—possibly amplified ten or even dozens of times?"
Lu Changsheng suddenly asked aloud.
"Exactly. The Secret Realm is too fragile; the destructive power of our methods is simply too great."
Xia Chengfeng nodded in agreement.
"If that's the case, I think I might have a method that could help us quickly locate the Law Divine Stone."
A sharp gleam flashed in Lu Changsheng's eyes.
"Brother Lu, you..."
"I have a Perception Domain, and I need to release it now."
"Let's see how far its range can extend; if it truly can expand tenfold or even a hundredfold, then finding the Law Divine Stone won't be a problem at all."
Lu Changsheng explained briefly.
With that, he closed his eyes.
"A Perception Domain?"
Hearing this, Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian exchanged a glance.
A hint of delight flickered in their eyes.
If Lu Changsheng truly possessed a Perception Domain, then their decision to invite him this time might turn out to be a monumental stroke of fortune.
Lu Changsheng proceeded to release the Perception Domain.
*Boom.*
The Perception Domain descended.
Even though the Perception Domain had already merged into his mind-space,
he could still release it again whenever necessary.
The moment the Perception Domain emerged, Lu Changsheng sensed something peculiar.
Effortlessness!
Incomparably effortless!
The Perception Domain seemed devoid of any strain, its range expanding incessantly.
Ten li, a hundred li, five hundred li, a thousand li...
In the end, Lu Changsheng could sense everything within a thousand-li radius.
What an astonishing sensory ability this was!
"Hmm?"
"There's actually intelligent life here, whose appearance... resembles humans."
"There are even martial artists among them, although their cultivation methods seem different."
"The people here refer to themselves as the Taixuan People?"
"And this land is called the Taixuan Continent..."
Within the thousand-li radius, even the smallest ant couldn't escape Lu Changsheng's awareness.
Naturally, in that instant, he gathered a wealth of intelligence.
Likewise, the ability to cover such a vast range and collect so much information instantly was something those Foundation Establishment Daoist Monarchs, with their formidable divine sense, could also achieve.
"Wait, the Taichang Sacred Land has a Taichang Divine Stone. Beneath that stone, one can comprehend and unravel the mysteries of the universe..."
As Lu Changsheng collected intelligence through his Perception Domain, this was one of the pieces he stumbled upon.
"Could this Taichang Divine Stone that allows the Taixuan People to comprehend universal mysteries actually be the Law Divine Stone?"
A thought stirred in Lu Changsheng's mind.
It seemed highly plausible.
However, to confirm, he would have to see it for himself.
"Brother Xia, Brother Zhao, I might have a lead on the Law Divine Stone, but we need to verify it in person."
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and stated directly.
"Great, let's go quickly. We mustn't let the Foundation Establishment Daoist Monarchs get ahead of us."
"Indeed, the Foundation Establishment Daoist Monarchs possess divine stones, and every time they enter the Secret Realm, their gains are plentiful. Although they don't need the Law Divine Stone themselves, they often seize it and trade it with Dao Foundation martial artists for treasures."
"Wherever those Foundation Establishment Daoist Monarchs tread, they sweep away everything of value..."
"But this time, with Brother Lu's Perception Domain, it's equivalent to possessing the divine sense of a Foundation Establishment Daoist Monarch. We no longer have to aimlessly wander the Secret Realm, relying solely on luck..."
Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian were both visibly excited.
"Let's move!"
Using the Wind Law, Lu Changsheng enveloped the two of them and sped toward the Taichang Sacred Land.
…
The Taichang Sacred Land. It was the annual day for accepting disciples.
At the foot of the sacred mountain of the Taichang Sacred Land, the area was packed with people.
After all, the Taichang Sacred Land was the only Martial Arts Holy Land within a thousand-li radius.
Every martial artist who left the Taichang Sacred Land became a dominant force in their respective regions.
Countless ordinary folks and martial artists dreamed of entering the Taichang Sacred Land and becoming Holy Land Disciples.
"I've been preparing for this day for three years. I've undergone cleansing and refinement of my body and gathered numerous treasures. With my talent, I'm sure I'll be accepted into the Taichang Sacred Land!"
"I heard that this year, the disciple recruitment ceremony is being presided over by a Martial Venerable. Which Martial Venerable, though?"
"The Taichang Sacred Land has thirty-three Martial Venerables, each renowned throughout the world. Any one of them is an invincible figure. This time, the recruitment is likely overseen by the Cang Yue Martial Venerable."
"The Cang Yue Martial Venerable? That's the youngest Martial Venerable of the entire Taichang Sacred Land. If I could catch their eye and become their disciple, my future prospects would be limitless..."
Many people were buzzing with excitement.
The Cang Yue Martial Venerable was a living legend in their eyes.
Rising through battle and bloodshed, despite being the youngest Martial Venerable in the Taichang Sacred Land, their extraordinary strength ranked within the top ten of the Sacred Land.
A Martial Venerable was a figure second only to the Martial Saints in power.
Meanwhile, a Martial Saint was the very foundation of a Sacred Land's existence.
A Sacred Land could only bear that title if it had a Martial Saint holding the fort.
It was said that Martial Saints commanded heaven-shaking, earth-shattering power with inconceivable techniques.
However, very few had ever witnessed a Martial Saint in action.
Even seeing a Martial Venerable take action was an exceedingly rare event.
"Silence!"
A towering figure ascended the high platform.
The Cang Yue Martial Venerable!
The youngest Martial Venerable of the whole Taichang Sacred Land.
It was said they weren't even thirty yet!
Such youth, and already a lofty Martial Venerable, left everyone awestruck.
With just a single word, the thousands below fell completely silent.
