Chapter 323: Chapter 227: A Storm is Brewing_3

"Sword Lord used this town object to exchange for Lord Swamp Spirit’s ’true form’."

"With the help of the town object, Lord Swamp Spirit has gained the power of Refining God, yet he is still held in check by Sword Lord."

"I have come here today to ask Lord Swamp Spirit to step forward, there’s no need to break into High Willow City, just to disrupt their Refining God momentum!"

"If Sword Lord is willing to agree, Tribulation Ash is willing to gift you a Daluo Immortal Body to serve as your sword-carrying vessel!"

Lord White Dragon laughed and said, "The Daluo Immortal Body surpasses the limitations of human form and is not confined by the quantity of True Qi, so you won’t have to keep looking for new bodies! With a Daluo Immortal Body that fully bears Sword Qi, Sword Lord will surely ascend to a higher level!"

——

High Willow City, Linjiang Square.

Li Xuantong stood atop the Spring Night Brothel and lamented, "My father once said, ’Mr. Lu’s wisdom reaches the heavens, it’s a pity his base is too poor, making martial arts unattainable, leaving him no choice but the path of temple priesthood.’"

"I thought that, with his old age and having been demoted, his path was cut off, yet he truly managed to carve out a new path for himself."

"Qi Refining and God Transformation, ah, as the son of the Great City Guard of Qifeng Prefecture, I wonder if I, in my lifetime, have any hope of reaching that level!"

He sighed with emotion.

The middle-aged man behind him couldn’t help but exclaim, "Qifeng Prefecture has six big cities, each with a Temple, and across generations there have been Twelve Temple Priests, all of them wise and discerning, and this wisdom has been passed down from generation to generation, for hundreds of years, not a small number."

"In these hundreds of years, those who entered the path through martial arts and cultivated to the Refining God Realm are one in ten thousand, but there have indeed been some."

"Outside of the martial path, only two individuals have achieved Refining God Skill with the identity of a temple priest."

The middle-aged man said in a low voice, "I wonder if I can witness the third one with my own eyes?"

"To be precise, there is only one!"

Li Xuantong calmly said, "Outsiders are unaware of the details, but in reality... Lu Changsheng has not achieved Qi Refining and God Transformation but possesses the power of Refining God!"

He stood with hands clasped behind his back and smiled, "Originally, Lu Changsheng betrayed his mentor and in exchange, gained the favor of the Holy Land."

"Within the Holy Land, there happened to be a head position vacated, as the incumbent’s lifespan had ended."

"Anyone who takes that position can possess the power of Refining God, almost same as those nine main objects within the ancient ruins... Whoever gets the town object can gain the power of Refining God!"

"Lu Changsheng’s Refining God Realm achievement was not cultivated by himself, but obtained by betraying Mr. Lu."

"But looking at it now, this might have been a trick played together by the mentor-student duo to deceive their way to that ’position’!"

"That’s why the Holy Land has been acting quite peculiar towards Lu Changsheng recently, not at all like the respect due to a newly appointed head!"

At this, Li Xuantong said with a sigh, "If Mr. Lu really becomes successful, then he will be the second person in these hundreds of years to rise to the Refining God Realm as a temple priest!"

The middle-aged man hesitated and asked, "Young Master, do you think he can succeed?"

Li Xuantong shook his head and said, "For Mr. Lu to seek a breakthrough in seclusion, it is already a path of nine deaths and one life."

"But if his place of seclusion is chosen at Wutong Temple, then it might truly be considered a path of nine deaths and one life!"

"However, now he has chosen High Willow City, and moreover, it’s the outermost Linjiang Square of the outer city..."

"Any slight disturbance in the situation, affecting the Qi Mechanism, could rob the elder of this slim chance of survival!"

Saying this, Li Xuantong frowned deeply: "I really can’t understand how he, after living for so many decades, would entrust his last chance of survival to a junior like Wu Chang?"

"After all, he has been back in High Willow City for less than a year, is it really such a forgetful friendship that he can entrust his life to him?"

"Although Wu Chang is exceptionally talented and highly capable, he is, after all, young, and his actions may not be thorough. Does Mr. Lu truly feel at ease, thinking Wu Chang can protect this last thread of life for him?"

"Moreover, Wu Chang has already attracted the attention of three Old Gods, such a person is very likely to become Tribulation Ash!"
