NOVEL NEXT Chapter 226: Who is He?
"O-One-numbered Cave Mansion?"
"Did I hear that right? Did the Artifact Spirit really say Number One Cave Mansion?"
"Unbelievable... Is it truly the Number One Cave Mansion? Or did the Artifact Spirit make a mistake?"
"Just now, the Artifact Spirit paused for the duration of a stick of incense. Was there an error?"
"The Artifact Spirit should be incapable of making a mistake, but how is it possible for a newcomer to the Martial Saint Mansion to be assigned the Number One Cave Mansion?"
"I recall that the current occupant of the Number One Cave Mansion should be the Heavenly Destiny Martial Venerable, right?"
"That's correct, it's the Heavenly Destiny Martial Venerable. He has firmly occupied the Number One Cave Mansion for six years now. Although the ten-year term is about to end, he hasn't left, and no one can force him out—his strength is simply too overwhelming."
"What a shame. Now, even though the Heavenly Destiny Martial Venerable hasn't been challenged, he's being made to relinquish the Number One Cave Mansion. But this name... it seems a bit familiar. Where have I heard it before?"
"Who is he? Who exactly is he?"
"Lu Changsheng, could it be..."
As the Artifact Spirit's declaration finished, after a moment of silence, many people began discussing it fervently once more.
After all, it was simply too shocking.
Perhaps, since the establishment of the Martial Saint Mansion and the implementation of the Artifact Spirit's allocation system for cave mansions, such an event had never occurred.
Who could enter the Martial Saint Mansion and be immediately assigned the Number One Cave Mansion?
Before this, no one had ever imagined such a thing could happen.
But now, it had happened.
And it happened right in front of everyone's eyes.
"Number One Cave Mansion?"
Lu Changsheng didn't need any special perception to realize that this "Number One" Cave Mansion was undoubtedly extraordinary.
Looking at Wei He's shocked expression before him,
It was easy to imagine just how earth-shattering this was.
In the Martial Saint Mansion, this must be considered a significant event.
Wei He stood there dumbfounded, his eyes wide with disbelief.
Even now, he could barely believe it.
What had he just heard?
Number One Cave Mansion!
Lu Changsheng had been assigned the Number One Cave Mansion!
According to the Artifact Spirit's principles for allocating cave mansions, the absolute standard was based on strength.
That is to say, in the eyes of the Artifact Spirit, Lu Changsheng's strength surpassed that of the current occupant of the Number One Cave Mansion—the Heavenly Destiny Martial Venerable?
"Lu Changsheng... I remember now. Wasn't Void Spirit Mountain opened recently?"
"Many major Sects and Immortal Sects recruited experts to enter Void Spirit Mountain and compete for the Transformation Pill Liquid."
"In the end, there was a solitary martial artist who obtained sixty-eight drops of Transformation Pill Liquid and even single-handedly slew hundreds of Void Demons."
"That person was Lu Changsheng!"
Finally, someone "recalled" Lu Changsheng's background.
Near Heavenly Saint City, Lu Changsheng was naturally a renowned figure.
Hailed as the Number One Martial Venerable!
However, the Martial Saint Mansion was too distant.
Heavenly Saint City was not exactly a place of great power.
Who would care about a so-called Number One Martial Venerable from a minor region?
Actually, the news hadn't even spread very far.
It was only the opening of Void Spirit Mountain—a gathering of the Great Sects and Immortal Sects—that had brought it to wider attention.
Even in the Martial Saint Mansion, many had heard about it.
Still, most martial artists in the Martial Saint Mansion lacked material concerns and naturally would not risk venturing into Void Spirit Mountain.
But they all knew how perilous Void Spirit Mountain was and how cunning and vicious Void Demons could be.
Single-handedly vanquishing hundreds of Void Demons?
It sounded like a fantasy.
"Vanquishing hundreds of Void Demons? I don't believe it!"
"Exactly! Void Demons are uniquely formidable. Even Spiritual Divine Power wouldn't be capable of exterminating hundreds of Void Demons—it would at most ensure survival. This sounds wildly exaggerated."
"Even a Martial Saint wouldn't dare claim they could slay hundreds of Void Demons in Void Spirit Mountain, let alone a Divine Power Realm martial artist."
"However, it's a fact that Lu Changsheng acquired sixty-eight drops of Transformation Pill Liquid. To obtain that much Transformation Pill Liquid, it certainly wasn't merely a matter of luck—his strength must be exceptional."
"There's also another rumor: it's said Lu Changsheng may have mastered Infinite Divine Power. Previously, I was a bit skeptical, but now, given that the Artifact Spirit assigned the Number One Cave Mansion to Lu Changsheng, I'm starting to believe it. How else could the Artifact Spirit deem Lu Changsheng stronger than the Heavenly Destiny Martial Venerable?"
"Infinite Divine Power? Unimaginable..."
Many people now saw Lu Changsheng in a new light.
No other reason but this: Infinite Divine Power!
Words became irrelevant.
Actions even lost their significance.
Having Infinite Divine Power was enough.
Not convinced?
Feel free to challenge it!
Thus, no matter how obscure Lu Changsheng had been, regardless of the humble place he hailed from, even though it was his first time in the Martial Saint Mansion—
It didn't matter.
The four words "Infinite Divine Power" were enough to suppress everything!
"May I ask, Fellow Daoist Wei, do you know the location of the Number One Cave Mansion?"
Lu Changsheng inquired.
Wei He returned to his senses and quickly replied, "The Number One Cave Mansion is easy to find. Among all the cave mansions, the one situated at the highest position is the Number One Cave Mansion."
"However, when a cave mansion is allocated, if it's occupied, the current resident must be given time to move out. Normally, it won't be vacated until the next day."
"So, Fellow Daoist Lu might have to wait one more day."
Lu Changsheng nodded and said, "It's fine. One day means nothing—I'll just wait here for a day."
To a Divine Power Realm martial artist, a single day was a trifling matter.
A brief meditation would see it pass in the blink of an eye.
Lu Changsheng glanced around.
He simply sat crossed-legged in the cultivation area of the main hall.
Many people exchanged looks of uncertainty but dared not approach to disturb him.
Only Wei He, having conversed with Lu Changsheng earlier and established some rapport, felt emboldened.
He excitedly came to Lu Changsheng's side, grinning as he said, "Brother Lu, this time I've been assigned to the hundred eighty-ninth Cave Mansion—not bad, making it into the top two hundred."
