It was still because he hadn’t broken through the peak of the fourth tier; otherwise, Lu Sheng was confident he could defeat the opponent.
"As long as I break through the peak of the fourth tier, I will surely have a place in the top one hundred of the sect competition!"
Lu Sheng thought to himself, feeling a surge of pride welling up within him.
"Brother Lu is indeed young and promising, having fifth-tier combat power at such an age. In the future, you will surely advance to the sixth tier!"
"The Martial Arts path of the Human Federation does live up to its reputation, making me somewhat envious!"
Zheng Shi Yuan cast an envious glance at Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng smiled slightly, "Brother Zheng’s talent is also not bad; you shouldn’t be too old either."
Who would have expected that Zheng Shi Yuan shook his head and said, "Not at all, I am already over a thousand years old!"
Lu Sheng was astonished and somewhat puzzled.
Lu Sheng was not familiar with the Ten Thousand Laws Sect, but he knew about the cultivators of the Human Federation. In the Human Federation, the average age of Nascent Soul cultivators was around five hundred years.
Zheng Shi Yuan, a Nascent Soul over a thousand years old, surprised Lu Sheng to some extent.
"Brother Lu, you follow the Martial Arts path, which is different from those half-baked cultivators of the Human Federation. But don’t equate me with those half-baked ones of yours."
Perhaps sensing Lu Sheng’s thoughts, Zheng Shi Yuan said somewhat displeased.
Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Brother Zheng, do you look down on the cultivator system of the Human Federation?"
Zheng Shi Yuan did not beat around the bush and said directly, "If it’s the Martial Arts system of the Human Federation, I might admire it. However, we beings of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect are different from those of the Human Federation and cannot follow this path."
"But your Human Federation’s cultivator system... Heh, it’s just a bunch of half-baked practitioners!"
"Don’t think that the progress of your cultivator system is much faster than ours, but it leads to unstable foundations. There may not be any problems initially, but once you reach the seventh tier... the hidden dangers become substantial."
"After all... to us of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect, your Human Federation’s cultivator system is no different from Demonic Cultivation Techniques!"
Hearing this, Lu Sheng was shocked. Demonic Cultivation Techniques?
Perhaps seeing Lu Sheng’s disbelief, Zheng Shi Yuan smiled and said, "As far as I know, the Human Federation’s cultivator method was passed down by Immortal Unnamed. But do you know how Immortal Unnamed obtained the cultivation technique from our Ten Thousand Laws Sect?"
Lu Sheng shook his head. He only knew that Immortal Unnamed had acquired the cultivation technique from the Ten Thousand Laws Sect and spread it within the Human Federation, establishing the cultivator system.
He did not know the hidden details.
"Heh, speaking of this, it’s not a big secret in our Ten Thousand Laws Sect."
Zheng Shi Yuan smiled and continued.
"In the Ten Thousand Laws Sect, there are countless sects, including seven major Demon Sects. The Primordial Demon Sect is the head of the seven major Demon Sects."
"The cultivation technique under your Human Federation’s system was derived from the cultivation technique of the Primordial Demon Sect, which was improved upon."
"As for Immortal Unnamed, he was the great demon of the Primordial Demon Sect. No one knows how Immortal Unnamed infiltrated our Ten Thousand Laws Sect from the Human Federation. But when Immortal Unnamed left the Primordial Demon Sect and returned to the Human Federation, everyone in the hundreds of stars governed by the Primordial Demon Sect disappeared."
"It was at that time that Immortal Unnamed surpassed Mahayana and attained the Immortal Dao, becoming the Galactic Life Form of your Human Federation!"
"Naturally, we look down on this cultivation technique derived from Demonic Cultivation Techniques."
Listening to Zheng Shi Yuan, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but be shocked. He never expected such intricate ties between Immortal Unnamed and the Ten Thousand Laws Sect.
But after pondering for a while, Lu Sheng eventually shook his head and decided not to pursue this information further.
After all, he was just a fifth-tier Transcendent; without the standing pillar, he wasn’t even a true fifth-tier.
These matters were too deep for Lu Sheng to handle, and he lacked the ability to manage them.
Then, Lu Sheng changed the topic and said, "I don’t know much about these things. After all, I’m just an ordinary Martial Artist!"
Lu Sheng winked at Zheng Shi Yuan.
Zheng Shi Yuan laughed, "Martial Artists are great. Even though we of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect cannot practice the Martial Arts path, there is much we can learn from it."
"In my opinion, your Human Federation’s Emperor Bai is a remarkable figure, far better than someone like Immortal Unnamed."
Zheng Shi Yuan laughed heartily.
Lu Sheng had no choice but to forcibly change the topic, "By the way, Brother Zheng, where are those two Hive Tyrants? We should complete our mission quickly. The longer we wait, the more the Void Insect Race reproduces, which will become a problem for us."
"You are right, but the Hive Tyrants have already hidden deep within Baicheng Star. I don’t have any life-filled treasures to lure them out. We can only force our way in."
Zheng Shi Yuan said seriously.
Facing Zheng Shi Yuan’s words, Lu Sheng smiled slightly but did not say anything. He simply stepped into the air from the mountain peak.
The fourth-tier Immortal Technique was instantly activated, and a surge of vibrant life force roared out from Lu Sheng’s body.
"Brother Zheng, you said that you admire the Martial Arts of the Human Federation. Now, how does my life force compare to those life treasures?"
Lu Sheng’s voice came from mid-air, and the intense life force made Lu Sheng seem like a sun in the eyes of the Void Insect Race.
In just an instant, purple Void Insects could be seen swarming towards Lu Sheng from all directions of Baicheng Star.
They wanted to devour Lu Sheng.
Zheng Shi Yuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"Brother Lu is incomparable to any treasure. Let me assist you!"
