ng Fang slowly descended from the arena. As he moved forward, the crowd below parted instinctively, opening a clear path for him.
A woman dressed in red imdiately stepped forward and comforted him. "Senior Brother ng Fang, do not worry. It's just one loss. Next month, when you challenge the other scion disciples, you will naturally reclaim your position."
This woman in red was ng Fang's close friend, Ruan Qinglian. There were rumors that she harbored feelings for ng Fang and that the two were very close.
ng Fang glanced at her and nodded. "Qinglian, I'm fine. I will naturally reclaim my position. Besides, this is only one defeat. Talents rise with every generation, but those capable of Domain Fusion are exceedingly rare. Losing to Lu Changsheng is nothing to be ashad of."
With that, ng Fang said no more. He turned and swiftly left the crowd behind.
As he disappeared into the distance, soone in the crowd suddenly spoke up. "So... does this an there are Four Untouchables now?"
For a mont, the crowd fell into stunned silence. Lu Changsheng had just defeated ng Fang to beco a scion disciple, which ant he was now part of the Untouchables. But did that an ng Fang had actually fallen from grace?
Far from it. ng Fang's strength remained fearso. Aside from Lu Changsheng with his Domain Fusion, who could claim with certainty that they could defeat him? Not even the two other Untouchables possessed such confidence.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Lu."
As Lu Changsheng walked down from the arena, the outer sect disciples began congratulating him one after another. They understood that from this mont on, he stood apart from the rest. As a new Untouchable, he was almost guaranteed to condense divine fortification. More than that, he even possessed the qualifications to compete for scion disciple status within the inner sect. His future was boundless!
Lu Changsheng nodded in acknowledgnt before disappearing into the crowd.
"Hahaha, we have struck it rich this ti."
"We won the bet!"
"Honestly, we knew all along that Senior Brother Lu would defeat ng Fang. And let tell you sothing else. Back at Heavenly Abyss Gorge, Senior Brother Lu defeated three inner sect seniors with a single slash. Even Divine Fortification martial artists were no match for him. How could ng Fang possibly win?"
As news of Lu Changsheng's victory spread, his reputation surged even further. Those disciples who had personally witnessed the battle at Heavenly Abyss Gorge also revealed the astonishing truth.
"Does that an Senior Brother Lu didn't even go all out just now?"
"Seems so."
"Then just how powerful has Senior Brother Lu beco?"
In the wake of the duel, everyone was dumbfounded. They did not even dare to imagine just how powerful Lu Changsheng truly was.
Lu Changsheng had returned to the courtyard. As he recalled the battle, he could not help but marvel at the might of the Waterspout Domain ford through the fusion of the two Domains. It had crushed ng Fang's Sword Domain completely. He had seen it clearly during the clash.
ng Fang's Sword Domain was actually extrely powerful, yet it failed against the Fused Domain.
If the Starry Sky Intent and the Waterfall Intent evolve into Domains, can they also fuse into an entirely new one?
He found the thought genuinely enticing. After all, the Starry Sky Intent and the Waterfall Intent were Intents he had personally dismantled through the Starry Sky Waterfall Intent. If they could be divided, then in principle, they should also be capable of fusion. The only uncertainty lay in what kind of changes would erge once he actually managed to evolve them into Domains.
However, to evolve a domain, he would still need Dao Comprehension Pills. Having reclaid his scion disciple status, he could now head to the Mission Hall to submit the Abyss Mystic Iron ore.
At the Mission Hall, disciples hurried about. Then, the mont they noticed Lu Changsheng carrying the massive chunk of Abyss Mystic Iron ore, they stopped in their tracks one by one, staring fixedly at the ore on his shoulder.
"Is that... Abyss Mystic Iron ore?"
"That's right. One jin of Abyss Mystic Iron ore is worth a hundred contribution points. That piece has to weigh over a hundred jin."
"More than a hundred jin? How did he even get his hands on that?"
"Judging by his robes, he must be an outer sect disciple. Since when could outer sect disciples obtain ore like that?"
Many disciples in the Mission Hall looked on with envy. Such a large piece of Abyss Mystic Iron ore was sothing one could only find through sheer luck. In the abyss, even Divine Fortification martial artists would not dare venture lightly, let alone an outer sect disciple. The outer sect disciples were rely at the Divine Strength Realm, so for one of them to obtain such a massive piece of Abyss Mystic Iron ore was nothing short of a miracle.
Nevertheless, the Mission Hall was not frequented solely by outer sect disciples. There were also inner sect disciples and even inheritor disciples present. Many gazes converged on Lu Changsheng, yet they did not make him feel uncomfortable.
Thud!
Lu Changsheng set the Abyss Mystic Iron ore down and said firmly, "Elder, I am here to make a submission for the Abyss Mystic Iron ore task."
This did not require prior registration. One could simply bring the item and submit it directly in exchange for contribution points.
The elder of the Mission Hall stood up and walked over to examine the Abyss Mystic Iron ore carefully. "Is it truly Abyss Mystic Iron ore?"
After a brief inspection, the elder confird its authenticity and proceeded to weigh it. "One hundred and fifteen jin. Any objections?"
"No objections," Lu Changsheng replied and handed his identity token to the elder.
"A scion disciple, huh?" The elder paused, briefly in thought. Scion disciples received double the rewards. This ant Lu Changsheng would receive 23,000 contribution points from this submission alone. Combined with the 1,000 contribution points he had previously earned from capturing Earth Worms, his total contribution points stood at 24,000.
Many outer sect disciples struggled to accumulate that many contribution points even after being in the sect for ten years. Within the Northern Domain Heavenly Sect, 24,000 was undoubtedly considered a massive sum.
"An outer sect scion disciple?"
"Never heard of him."
"Lu Changsheng? I think I've heard of him."
"Over 20,000 contribution points. That is enough to exchange for two Dao Comprehension Pills."
"If only I had that kind of luck..."
Many disciples looked on with envy. Lu Changsheng left the Mission Hall and went to the Exchange Hall.
The Exchange Hall was extrely grand with all kinds of treasures, pills, and divine weapons available. He even spotted divine weapons that could enhance explosive power. There were also protective inner armors that could rge directly into the flesh, along with many other rare items. The array of treasures was dazzling, enough to stir anyone's desire.
Lu Changsheng found himself tempted by nearly all of those items, but after a mont's consideration, he restrained himself. Every one of them was expensive.
There were not many people in the Exchange Hall. Most had clear objectives, and after exchanging for what they wanted, they left without lingering. Staying any longer was probably unbearable. It was too tempting.
Lu Changsheng asked directly, "Do you guys have Dao Comprehension Pills?"
"Yes. One Dao Comprehension Pill costs ten thousand contribution points," the martial artist of the Mission Hall replied.
Lu Changsheng thought for a mont. "Give one pill."
He handed over his identity token. Monts later, a Dao Comprehension Pill was placed in his hand, and his contribution points dropped to fourteen thousand.
Lu Changsheng left the Exchange Hall and returned to his courtyard. He took out the Dao Comprehension Pill and examined it carefully. The pill was imnsely beneficial for martial artists who sought to comprehend Intents and evolve Domains. By all accounts, it was a miracle pill.
Many martial artists would usually raise their Intent to around ninety-nine percent, and when they hit a wall, they would do whatever it took to obtain a Dao Comprehension Pill, then use it to enter a state of sudden enlightennt and evolve a Domain.
Unfortunately, Dao Comprehension Pills were extrely difficult to refine and were basically impossible to obtain in the outside world. Even if such a pill were to appear, it would be a rare treasure, and countless people would fight madly over it, spilling blood all over the jianghu. But within the Northern Region Heavenly Sect, Dao Comprehension Pills were openly supplied. As long as the martial artist had enough contribution points, they could be exchanged.
Lu Changsheng did not rush. He waited quietly until night fell, and when it did, he headed toward Celestial Foothills Waterfall.
In the dark, the Celestial Foothills Mountain Range was a treacherous area, but for Lu Changsheng, who possessed a Sense Domain, night was no different from day. He had to be here and learn from nature itself, so that he could evolve the Waterfall Domain and the Starry Sky Domain.
With the starry sky overhead and the waterfall before him, he was ready to begin.
I hope I can seize this montum and evolve two Domains at once.
Without further hesitation, Lu Changsheng took out the Dao Comprehension Pill and swallowed it instantly.
