Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques

"Lu Changsheng... isn't this the Senior Brother Lu who once dominated both the immortal and martial paths of his generation?"

"Senior Brother Lu established a Dao Foundation more than a year ago and went to the third level of the Ancient Domain to cultivate. Now he's returned?"

"But Senior Brother Lu has, at most, only been at the Dao Foundation stage for a year or two. How could he dare take on this matter? You must know, Kongling Daojun is one of the top Taoist Monarchs of the Purple Sun Immortal Sect, ranked in the top three, even Zhong Yu, the Hall Master, is no match for him."

"But just now, Senior Brother Lu seemed to imprison Kongling Daojun's magical treasure. Such power appears to have far surpassed Zhong Yu, the Hall Master. Could it be that in just one or two years, Senior Brother Lu's strength has grown tenfold or even a hundredfold?"

"Look at Kongling Daojun's expression—it seems he is incredibly wary of Senior Brother Lu. Perhaps Senior Brother Lu's strength has truly reached a terrifying level..."

Around them, several disciples of the Heavenly Sect in the Ancient Domain stared at Lu Changsheng's figure in midair, causing an uproar.

They were all too familiar with Lu Changsheng.

These disciples were mostly at the Divine Power and Divine Storage Realms.

They had experienced firsthand the terror of being "dominated" by Lu Changsheng.

Back then, when Lu Changsheng was in the Divine Storage Realm, he completely crushed everyone.

However, no matter how glorious Lu Changsheng had been in the past,

Once he established his Dao Foundation, his opponents became other Dao Foundation powerhouses and Foundation Establishment Daoist Monarchs.

Could Lu Changsheng truly rival the top Dao Foundation cultivators in just one or two years?

Let alone someone like Kongling Daojun? Even they found it difficult to believe.

But the thoughts of these Divine Power and Divine Storage Realm disciples were not important.

Kongling Daojun was filled with dread!

The name Lu Changsheng was not unfamiliar to Kongling Daojun.

Back when Lu Changsheng was still at the Divine Storage stage, he had already dominated an entire generation in both the immortal and martial paths.

Even for the immortal path, this was an earth-shattering event.

Even Kongling Daojun had been amazed at the time.

A mere martial artist suppressing figures of the immortal path—such a thing was utterly inconceivable.

Especially since not long ago, Kongling Daojun had received news.

It was from the third level of the Ancient Domain, about the Tianluo Mountain Range.

Lu Changsheng had unleashed carnage within a secret realm, and outside of it, he had even blocked an entire sect's gate.

With his own strength, he slew Dongyang Daojun and Shouxu Daojun.

Although Kongling Daojun was within the mountain gates of the Purple Sun Immortal Sect, he had once roamed the third level of the Ancient Domain as well.

He was well-acquainted with the renowned names of Dongyang Daojun and Shouxu Daojun.

Within the gates of the Purple Sun Immortal Sect, Kongling Daojun ranked among the top three in strength.

But compared to Dongyang Daojun and Shouxu Daojun, Kongling Daojun was far inferior.

Completely beyond comparison.

After all, those two were cultivators who had a chance of forming Golden Cores.

Whereas Kongling Daojun had no hope of achieving a Golden Core in this lifetime.

Yet even these two terrifying top-tier Taoist Monarchs had been slain by Lu Changsheng.

In fact, Lu Changsheng had even earned the title "Dao Foundation Invincible."

This news had so far only circulated among the higher echelons of Dao Foundation and Foundation Establishment cultivators in the entire Ancient Domain.

But Kongling Daojun had verified the information repeatedly—it was true!

Dongyang Daojun and Shouxu Daojun had indeed perished at the hands of Lu Changsheng.

Thus, upon seeing Lu Changsheng suddenly appear at the mountain gates of the Heavenly Sect in the Ancient Domain, Kongling Daojun was struck with a jolt of fear, and an immediate urge to withdraw surged in his heart.

Avenging his disciples?

Accusing the Heavenly Sect in the Ancient Domain of breaking the rules?

Did it matter?

In the face of absolute strength, did it matter?

Sometimes, retreating was the wisest option!

At this thought, Kongling Daojun took a deep breath. His gaze locked onto Lu Changsheng as he spoke, one word at a time, in a deep voice: "Daoist Lu, this matter was my misstep."

"Since your sect has already apologized, and Elder Wen only acted inadvertently in the heat of the moment, we will let the matter rest here."

"What does Daoist Lu think?"

Kongling Daojun's words left countless disciples of the Heavenly Sect in the Ancient Domain completely dumbfounded.

Even some disciples of the Purple Sun Immortal Sect who had accompanied Kongling Daojun were equally stupefied, as though they could hardly believe it.

Moments ago, he had been aggressive and thoroughly righteous, bent on making Elder Wen pay the price.

He had even threatened to kill Zhong Yu as well.

Yet now, his attitude had undergone a complete reversal?

Was this... backing down?

"Kongling Daojun—is he backing down?"

"Just earlier, even Zhong Yu, the Hall Master, was helpless against Kongling Daojun. Kongling Daojun was so furious he even wanted to kill Zhong Yu. And now, it's all being brushed aside just like that?"

"Kongling Daojun's sudden change in demeanor must be because of Lu Changsheng's appearance, right?"

"Lu Changsheng merely appeared, and Kongling Daojun relented?"

"Kongling Daojun had never encountered Lu Changsheng before. It's as if merely the name of Lu Changsheng was enough to make Kongling Daojun yield and want to settle this matter. Surely, that implication is clear to everyone by now..."

"What on earth did Lu Changsheng do in the third level of the Ancient Domain to make even Kongling Daojun fear him like this? It's truly unbelievable."

Many people could hardly believe their eyes.

Kongling Daojun's explanation was superficial at best.

No one actually believed it.

They all understood that it was entirely because Lu Changsheng "got involved" in the matter.

If Kongling Daojun didn't back down, he would inevitably have to face off against Lu Changsheng.

Clearly, Kongling Daojun wasn't merely unconfident about his chances of victory—

If he had been merely unsure, he wouldn't have been so "terrified."

But now, Kongling Daojun had directly conceded defeat.

This alone was enough to show that Lu Changsheng's strength far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Kongling Daojun, at least, understood one thing perfectly.

If he truly crossed swords with Lu Changsheng, his death would be certain!

"Daojun Kongling, you may leave."

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised as well.

But since Kongling Daojun had found a way to back down and directly conceded, Lu Changsheng saw no need to press further.
