Chapter 18

Perhaps at that time, Divine Legends would progress into a high-class world.

Even though Lu Xuan had never been fortunate enough to witness the existence of legendary saints, he could not help but speculate in his heart as he stared at the only divine-grade cultivation technique in his hand, the Great Devour Heart Sutra.

In the future, something similar to the legendary Chi You1 or East Emperor Taiyi2 would definitely appear in the world. At that time, Lu Xuan would be able to absorb them quickly and increase his combat ability!

Lu Xuan had transmigrated from a world before the crisis to this current world. The civilization he lived in had not been interrupted, and he was knowledgeable. To him, the world of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber was merely a low-class martial dao world. According to the classification of the Great Devour Heart Sutra, it was a class 1 world.

No matter what, Zhang Sanfeng and the Yellow Dress Maiden, who were pinnacle martial artists in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, probably had not reached the Congenial Realm. If their opponents were people from the Mongol Imperial Court, Zhang Sanfeng and the rest would probably fall if they had to handle more than a few hundred of the Mongol soldiers.

As such, the martial artists of this world were only ordinary people and they were unable to go against the heavens.

Lu Xuan’s goal from the beginning to the end wasn’t to dominate The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. He knew very well that he would need to continue down a path which didn’t have an end in sight. He didn’t need to stop at this moment and enjoy a moment of glory.

Lu Xuan aspired to be the Immemorial Great Emperor1 that could cover the sky with his individual strength. He would sweep across the seven Forbidden Life Zones, obliterating the darkness and chaos that existed in the universe. He would look down on the Heaven Dome Emperor and destroy the Primordial World with his strength alone. Wasn’t this what cultivation of the great dao was all about?

Lu Xuan slowly came back to his senses and suddenly thought of something else. At this moment, he was an Apprentice Martial Artist (99%). The three fundamental arts had broken through to low-level arts. Before he realized it, he had already surpassed all players in Divine Legends.

However, Lu Xuan knew very well that there was no lack of hardworking and strong individuals in this world. He wasn’t the only hardworking player and if he stopped cultivating because of this result, it would not take long for others to surpass him.

Besides, if the three fundamental arts could break through into low-level arts, the Apprentice Martial Artist Realm could also break through to the sub-perfection stage. There might be a hidden setting that he did not know about in the later stages of the game.

Lu Xuan browsed through the global forum but did not find any clues. He knew very well that the secret involved in the game system was very secretive and not something ordinary players could easily know.

But was Lu Xuan an ordinary player?

Lu Xuan rolled his eyes and thought of a strategy. Now that he was on Mount Wudang and had a powerful backer, he had to cherish his background!

After all, in the current world of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Zhang Wuji had yet to make any progress and advance towards the pinnacle. Right now, the strongest person in the pugilistic world was the grandmaster of the Wudang Sect, the old immortal—Zhang Sanfeng!

Lu Xuan could ask Zhang Sanfeng about the secrets of martial dao!

The tricky thing was that Lu Xuan was only an Apprentice Disciple of the Wudang Sect and was not officially accepted. It was almost impossible for him to meet Zhang Sanfeng and ask him.

However… He might not be able to meet Zhang Sanfeng, but he could easily meet with Zhang Wuji.

In any case, among the third generation disciples of the Wudang Sect, Grandmaster Zhang Sanfeng favored and doted on one of the youths. He was none other than Wudang Fifth Hero’s son—The Destined One, Zhang Wuji!

With this thought in mind, Lu Xuan immediately took action and left the Wudang Sect’s back mountain. He was heading straight for the Wudang Sect’s tallest mountain.

He had been wandering around the Wudang Sect, but he had not found Zhang Wuji yet.

In this era, there was no such thing as WeChat or mobile phones. It was indeed troublesome to find someone.

It was also possible that the heavens were preparing a chance for him. In just a short while, Lu Xuan found Zhang Wuji in a small hut.

Zhang Wuji had an awful expression. His face was black and blue, and his entire body was shrouded in a frightening coldness. He curled up his body and shivered in a corner of the bed. It was clearly midsummer, and his body was wrapped in a thick cotton blanket, but he was still so cold that he was shivering and groaning in pain.

“Brother Wuji!”

Lu Xuan shouted worriedly. Disregarding the deathly coldness in the room, Lu Xuan quickly came to Zhang Wuji’s side.

“Brother… Lu… Lu… Xuan… I…” Zhang Wuji’s lips trembled as he squeezed out each word, but he was unable to express his intention. It seemed like the pain he felt was extraordinary.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Lu Xuan immediately knew that Zhang Wuji had been severely injured by the Mystic Underworld Divine Palm of the Mystic Underworld Twin Elders when he was young. Now that the power of the divine palm had flared up, and was invading his body wantonly with deathly coldness. If there were no strong practitioners using their inner energy to help Zhang Wuji achieve balance, he wouldn’t survive past tonight!

The situation was dangerous, so Lu Xuan didn’t have the time to worry too much. Without a second word, he picked up Zhang Wuji, who was enduring intense pain, and ran towards the Wudang Sect’s True Martial Hall.

Zhang Sanfeng lived there! In the entire Wudang Sect, only Zhang Sanfeng had the ability to save Zhang Wuji!

“Brother Wuji, hang in there for a while longer. Just one incense stick will do. I will send you to Grandmaster Zhang right now.” Lu Xuan carried Zhang Wuji on his back and rushed over. At this moment, Lu Xuan was already an Apprentice Martial Artist at the sub-perfection stage. He was just a small step away from breaking through to the Posterior Martial Artist Realm. Although he had Zhang Wuji on his back, it didn’t affect his speed.

“Thank…”

When Zhang Wuji heard that, he planned on thanking him, but unfortunately, the words were stuck in his throat. He did not manage to spit them out. As he could not bear the intense pain from the Mysterious Underworld Divine Palm, and simply fainted.

When Lu Xuan heard Zhang Wuji’s silence, he quickened his pace. Nothing must happen to Zhang Wuji! He is too useful! I have yet to gain everything!

If something were to happen to him, the gains would not make up for the losses!

In less than half an incense’s time, Lu Xuan had already traversed more than half of the Wudang Sect and arrived at the entrance of the True Martial Hall.

At this time, the Wudang Sect disciples guarding the True Martial Hall noticed Lu Xuan’s weird movements and decided to intercept him.

Zhang Wuji was about to lose his life, how could Lu Xuan still have the time to waste on the small fries of the Wudang Sect?

“Get lost!”

Lu Xuan shouted loudly and sent the two Wudang Sect’s young taoists flying with a kick. He was a sub-perfection Apprentice Martial Artist and no ordinary Wudang Sect disciple could beat him.

“Where is Grandmaster Zhang! Quickly come out and save Zhang Wuji! Zhang Wuji is about to die!!”

“Where is Grandmaster Zhang! Quickly come out and save Zhang Wuji! Zhang Wuji is about to die!!”

Lu Xuan opened the door to the True Martial Hall and shouted at the top of his lungs, so loud that the echoes came back. Zhang Wuji must not have any mishaps. If he died, what if the buff from [Destined One’s Friendship] was gone?

Whoosh!

An indescribably dense aura came from the sky and landed in the hall. Lu Xuan suddenly felt relief from his back as Zhang Wuji was immediately carried away.

“Wuji, persevere! Grandmaster will help you counter the frost poison!”

Lu Xuan glanced over and sized up the righteous person. He immediately knew who this person was!

Just now, Lu Xuan only felt his body lighten. After a moment of shock, he suddenly came back to his senses.

The current Lu Xuan wasn’t considered weak. For someone to be snatched from his back without any commotion, Zhang Sanfeng was probably the only person capable of such a feat in the entire Wudang Sect.
