Chapter 979: Chapter 699: The Name of Master Lu, Praised Across the World
Since the title of Martial Artist was born, the name of Martial Saint has always been a weight that no hero dared to bear.
But in the hearts of many seekers of the Dao, Lu Chenzhou is worthy of it.
Destroying demigods and saving billions of lives, spreading the Dao for three years benefiting countless seekers, Lu Chenzhou’s merit is enough to be called a saint.
"The word ’saint’ carries too much causality, which I cannot bear." Lu Chenzhou heard the voices of many people and shook his head in his heart, "In Confucian Dao, one who establishes the heart for heaven and earth, creates destiny for the people, inherits the teachings of past saints, and establishes peace for all generations, can be called a saint. But in Martial Arts, no one has achieved such high accomplishment yet. Because Martial Arts continues to progress, continues to expand, there is no highest, only higher. Because the Evil God of Stars above the heads of all beings has not yet been overthrown, a peaceful human world has not yet come." He recalled the birthday wish he made in his youth, which has not yet been realized.
But no matter what Lu Chenzhou thinks, the title of "Martial Saint" secretly spreads.
Of course, the more widespread title is "Master Lu."
Although Lu Chenzhou only accepted three registered disciples, other seekers also considered Lu Chenzhou as their master in their hearts.
As these people returned to their worlds, they spread the skills and insights they learned from Tianxia.
The name "Master Lu" gradually spread to every corner of the world.
...
King Kong World.
An old man returned to his hometown and established a Boxing Academy.
His name is Liu Ci, one of Lu Chenzhou’s three registered disciples.
Although he was old, he had deep reserves and sudden growth, which Lu Chenzhou greatly appreciated.
Besides teaching fist techniques, the youths of the academy gathered around the old man.
"If you achieve success in Martial Arts, you can go to Tianxia to witness the glory of the top-level civilization where Master Lu resides."
...
Hongming World.
At the peak of a dangerous mountain, the former second-best in the world "Cloud Beard Guest" defeated the first-best, who had ruled the Hongming martial realm for three hundred years, "Dragon Slayer Heavenly King."
Dragon Slayer Heavenly King looked surprised and confused: "After not seeing you for three years, you have actually broken through to the Seventh Realm."
Cloud Beard Guest laughed heartily: "Dragon Slayer, I have been accepted as a registered disciple by one of the most outstanding figures in the Three Thousand Worlds. Coming here to defeat you is to fulfill a regret in my heart... But I won’t take the title of the first-best. I’m heading to Tianxia to chase higher peaks."
Dragon Slayer Heavenly King watched Cloud Beard Guest leave, muttering the name "Lu Chenzhou."
"I have just been in seclusion for two hundred years, and the Three Thousand Worlds have given birth to such a demonic existence."
...
Golden Clan.
"Jin Buhan, you really got lucky, being accepted as a registered disciple by Alliance Hierarch Lu."
"Rumor has it that Alliance Hierarch Lu is extremely fierce, is it true?"
"Will Alliance Hierarch Lu still lecture?"
Countless disciples of the Divine Race surrounded Jin Buhan.
Jin Buhan enjoyed it all.
"The Divine Race is too prejudiced against Master Lu."
Not long after, the Golden Realm Venerable directly summoned Jin Buhan to the royal palace.
"So, Alliance Hierarch Lu has accepted you as his disciple?"
"Merely registered."
"Good, very good, even though it’s just registered, it shows that Alliance Hierarch Lu doesn’t hold much grudge against us."
"Forgive me for speaking bluntly, World Venerable, we think too much. To Master Lu, who pursues higher Martial Arts, we are insignificant."
"Jin Buhan, go practice near the clan’s sacred artifact, and soon ascend to World Venerable."
"Thank you, World Venerable."
Jin Buhan left.
He never imagined that merely being accepted as a registered disciple of Master Lu would bring so many benefits.
He didn’t dare to imagine how powerful Master Lu’s only true disciple must be.
The Golden Realm Venerable alone looked towards Tianxia from the Imperial Palace.
"Alliance Hierarch Lu’s lecture this time is of profound significance. The Tianxia Civilization has solidified its dominant position once more, and Martial Arts will spontaneously spread through this lecture. Be it the Divine Race or the ancient Qi Refiners civilization, all will make way for Martial Arts... With the support of Martial Arts, those low-born mortals, relying on their large numbers, will produce geniuses in every era like carp crossing the river. The Heavenly Realm may no longer be scarce, and if the Forbidden Zone disaster tribulation is overcome, the number of Great Powers may even explode... It’s unimaginable, what will the Great Universe look like then?"
Even the Golden Realm Venerable, who had always resisted new things, had some expectations in his heart.
...
The impact of this lecture even surpasses Lu Chenzhou’s previous slaying of a demigod.
Because he can grant Dao Hooking, which is a real opportunity.
In the years to come, countless people will want to apprenticed Lu Chenzhou.
Many even bring heavy treasures, but Lu Chenzhou rejects them all.
He does not accept disciples, even the world-born child from Mystic Sky who cultivated to the peak of the Six Realms in a century, can only remain registered for now.
As for when to hold the next lecture, it depends on his heart’s intent.
Once his matters are settled and stabilized, he may find a regular time, such as lecturing once every century.
After this lecture, Tianxia Civilization became the ancestral home of Martial Arts and the entire cultivation civilization, with grand airs.
Yun Meng Lake also became Master Lu’s Dao venue.
Even without lecturing, it became a check-in place where many people sought victory and visited antiquity.
Lu Chenzhou left many relics containing his Dao Essence in Yun Meng Lake. If destined, one can obtain the Secret Technique he transmitted.
For a being like him, a single breath can change the fate of countless people against the heavens.
...
"Did Lu Chenzhou’s lecture cause many people to break through on the spot?"
"Is his lecture that effective? I’ve never heard of an Ancient Great Power’s Dao lecture having such an effect."
"The Method can’t be lightly spread like this; is he trying to become a Daoist Ancestor?"
"Truly damnable, this young lad really pulled it off."
"If this continues, the strength of the Three Thousand Realms will only grow stronger."
"What can be done? Should we disrupt the Dao lecture? That would be walking right into a trap."
Powerful intentions converged above in the high heavens.
To them, whatever Lu Chenzhou did was wrong.
"Enough quarreling, Kunxu is about to face the Great Tribulation, think how we can stop it," the Witch said.
...
Half a year later, in the Kunxu Realm.
After many years of seclusion, Kunxu finally reached the most critical step.
Above in the high heavens, countless golden auras rolled like tides, oppressively dark and suffocating.
As the chosen child of fate to undergo the Tribulation in Kunxu, the Kunxu Ancestor chose his own Great World to face the Tribulation, which could increase the success rate.
He wore a luxurious Daoist robe, surrounded by golden bridges, with layers of treasures forming a solid protection shield.
Rumbling! Overwhelming golden sword light descended like a fine rain, filling every inch of the world.
With a crack, the Protective Golden Light shattered instantly, the Kunxu Ancestor’s expression slightly changed.
"The previous battle with Mo Luo left the Twenty-four Bridges incomplete..."
The sword light annihilated everything, Kunxu strained to hold all defensive methods together, determined to resist.
Compared to the Dragon King’s Tribulation, he seemed much more beleaguered.
When all protective treasures broke, Kunxu had to rely on mana and cultivation to firmly resist.
He revealed a bronze-colored body, densely engraved with Dao Runes like an immaculate treasure: "The ultimate realm of the True Treasure Dao is to transform oneself into a treasure. If pursuing the Myriad Truths Undying Treasure Body all my life still can’t withstand the Dao Tribulation, then I would die without regret!" The Kunxu Ancestor thought to himself; he didn’t cultivate the physical body but relied on the Myriad Truths Undying Treasure Body, no less than some Undying Realm physical body cultivators.
The Tribulation reached its critical moment.
Suddenly, two evil and terrifying auras rose between heaven and earth.
A chubby smiling silhouette and a red-clothed woman with bleeding eyes bizarrely slid across the sky.
The God of Gluttony, Longo, and the strongest ghost among humans, Red-clothed.
Kunxu was focusing on the Tribulation, unable to spare any attention elsewhere.
Red-clothed waved her water sleeves, transforming them into a thick, fetid, blood-colored river.
Great Divine Power·Red River Car.
When stained by the blood river, even a Supreme Treasure could be damaged.
No matter how strong the physical body, it runs the risk of pollution and mutation.
As a former Upper Rank Demigod, three True Spirits and Great Powers once died under Red-clothed’s move.
The chubby one exhaled, swelling into a huge elastic meatball, actually trying to force through the Dao Tribulation.
Rumbling! The clouds parted as a massive fist squeezed in with a majestic force, striking against the meatball.
The meatball dented with layers of ripples, then rebounded, repelling the fist.
The Dragon King descended from the sky, stretching his muscles, laughing at the slightly chubby man: "I was planning to find you, didn’t expect you to deliver yourselves."
The slightly chubby man said, "You from Tianxia really like meddling, don’t you?"
On the other side, Lu Chenzhou struck with a palm, forming a vortex with the Great Chaos Cave Hand in the void, sucking the Blood River Vehicle in.
This method can’t be confronted with force, only resolved thoughtfully.
He looked at the Chaotic Heaven Halberd, already eroded into patches of blood stains.
The contaminated treasure’s divine skills have been the most troublesome throughout history.
The red-clothed’s head turned one hundred eighty degrees, opening its bleeding eyes and said: "Vilote died by your hands, not unjustly."
"Leave, I cannot be bothered to kill the Divine Power incarnation. I’ll come to exterminate your true forms in due time," Lu Chenzhou said lightly.
Longo and Red-clothed hadn’t been unsealed, only walking the Human World as Divine Power incarnations, just entering the lower rank demigod level.
Now he could kill them.
But killing them would yield no gain.
"Arrogant brat, let me show you what I am capable of."
Red-clothed spewed boundless blood rivers from her seven orifices, transforming into billions of little ghosts, emitting eerie screeches.
Lu Chenzhou stepped forward, sweeping the large halberd, bringing forth thirty-six divine lotuses from the void blooming, evaporating all the little ghosts.
With a vibrate of his wings, he appeared behind Red-clothed at near-light speed, one slash of the halberd severing her neck.
With Wind and Thunder Golden Wings in hand, combined with the Lightning Dao, his speed should be unmatched in his generation.
The Sun Chasing Dragon Emperor’s cultivation wasn’t high, but in the erstwhile Divine War, he managed to hold the top-level demigod Heavenly Disaster Demon Lord for so long, thanks to his speed.
Kunxu, a group of cultivators looked up to the sky, unable to discern who was battling.
They could only sense a golden light and a red glow engaging and clashing incessantly above the high heavens.
As they fought, Red-clothed’s vision blurred, suddenly transported to a bizarre world.
Billions of blue butterflies danced together in the space like a blue Fire Sea, everything turning to ashes in their path.
A giant face appeared in the sky, Lu Chenzhou with an indifferent expression, extending his hand.
Under his palm, the bizarre Dream World shrunk and collapsed, as if the universe itself was the cage.
Finally, the world transformed into a blue bead.
In the real world, Lu Chenzhou played with the bead, gazing at the struggling Red-clothed within.
