Lu Changsheng did not want to wander too far.
This time, Lu Changsheng decided to go alone.
After all, the Perception Domain had reached its pinnacle.
With a perfected Perception Domain, as long as Lu Changsheng released it, even during a state of enlightenment, the domain could "sustain itself automatically."
Once anyone stepped into the Perception Domain, Lu Changsheng would be instantly alerted.
Thus, whether or not someone guarded Lu Changsheng made no difference.
Moreover, Liu Yuan and the members of the Sky Dragon Team needed rest, as well as time to digest the gains from this trip to the Golden Swamp.
That would take time.
However, Lu Changsheng did not want to wait.
So, Lu Changsheng rose and left the mountain gate, holding the map as he headed straight for Wolf Cry Gorge.
More than an hour later, Lu Changsheng arrived at Wolf Cry Gorge.
The name Wolf Cry Gorge was certainly fitting.
As Lu Changsheng entered the area, he immediately heard the eerie, whining sound of "wolf cries."
In truth, it wasn’t the cries of actual wolves but the sound created by fierce winds passing through the gorge. The source of this content ɪs No(ᴠ)ᴇlFire.nᴇt
As Lu Changsheng approached, he noticed that the gorge was filled with martial artists.
They all seemed to be cultivating using the wild winds as their aid.
"Is this... the comprehension of Domains?"
Lu Changsheng’s face revealed a slight hint of bewilderment.
So many martial artists were comprehending Domains here.
Was Wolf Cry Gorge truly this lively?
Yet, according to Liu Yuan, Wolf Cry Gorge used to be quite serene.
Why were so many martial artists here now?
And almost all of them seemed to be comprehending Domains, the majority being wind-related ones.
Lu Changsheng needed a quiet location to comprehend his Storm Domain.
After all, he intended to take a Dao Comprehension Pill and enter a state of enlightenment.
Lu Changsheng raised his head and scanned Wolf Cry Gorge carefully.
He saw that halfway up the gorge, there were tiered stone steps.
Though referred to as steps, they were essentially layers of stone stairs.
The stone stairs sat at the center of the raging winds halfway up Wolf Cry Gorge.
It was the prime location within the gorge!
But, just like in the Golden Swamp, the stone stairs were occupied by martial artists as well.
However, this posed no obstacle for Lu Changsheng.
In the Ancient Domain, martial artists had to fight for what they wanted!
Lu Changsheng leapt into the air, landing directly at the base of the first layer of stone stairs in Wolf Cry Gorge.
The martial artist on the stairs opened their eyes.
Upon seeing Lu Changsheng, a glint of brilliance flickered in their gaze.
"Are you Lu Changsheng of the Heavenly Sect in the Ancient Domain?"
The martial artist asked.
"Indeed, I am Brother Lu."
Lu Changsheng replied calmly.
"So it truly is Lu Changsheng? It seems you’ve come to comprehend the Storm Domain, haven’t you?"
"Because of you, ever since news of your deeds spread, everyone has been eager to comprehend Domains, striving to perfect their domains to enhance the measure of their Spiritual Power. Some even hope to reach perfection in their Domains."
"You’ve shown us martial artists of the Divine Astral Realm a path filled with hope!"
The martial artist bowed toward Lu Changsheng.
The gesture was sincere, without any hint of pretense.
Lu Changsheng glanced at the densely packed martial artists on the stone stairs.
So the large gathering of martial artists here was actually caused by him?
What Lu Changsheng didn’t realize was that his presence had sparked a wave of Domain comprehension among the martial artists of the Divine Astral Realm within the Ancient Domain.
Not all martial artists held the prospects of ascending to the Divine Storage Realm.
Yet Lu Changsheng’s appearance had granted those Divine Astral Realm martial artists, whose hopes seemed slim at best, a flicker of hope for advancing.
Even though the prospect of ascending to the Divine Storage Realm remained faint, hope was better than none.
"I aim to go to the higher level,"
Lu Changsheng stated bluntly.
The martial artist immediately stepped aside, clearing the path to the stairs.
Thus, Lu Changsheng ascended the stone stairs step by step.
Wherever he passed, martial artists made way for him.
After all, the reputation of a man casts a long shadow.
Currently, within the first layer region of the Ancient Domain, Lu Changsheng enjoyed unparalleled renown, second to none!
Lu Changsheng finally reached the stone stairs halfway up the gorge.
His gaze fixed itself on the four individuals occupying the layer of stone stairs.
These four were clearly engrossed in the comprehension of Domains.
Seeing Lu Changsheng pause, they quickly understood his intent.
"Lu Changsheng, do you want this layer of stone stairs?"
One of the martial artists asked.
"Correct, I wish to use this stone stair to comprehend the Storm Domain."
Lu Changsheng answered openly and without hesitation.
The four individuals’ expressions shifted minutely.
Then, they took a deep breath, a glimmer of reluctance appearing in their eyes.
For them to occupy this prime stone stair location, it hadn’t been a matter of courtesy nor luck but purely the result of their formidable strength, wrested from others through sheer power.
They were by no means pushovers.
"Well, Lu Changsheng truly lives up to his reputation for being domineering."
"He’s indeed the unrivaled First Divine Gang of his generation!"
"You want this layer of stone stairs. We concede."
The four martial artists, seemingly acquainted or even familiar with one another, did not utter a single word of defiance before swiftly retreating.
This was the weight of Lu Changsheng’s fame.
Or rather, his infamy!
The battle in the Golden Swamp had grown increasingly exaggerated as word spread.
What started as tales of "hundreds of layers of Domains" had been amplified into legends of "thousands of layers."
The feat of "one stroke cleaving a hundred" was now narrated as "a thousand blades chiming in unison."
Descriptions of his unparalleled elegance and invincibility portrayed him as capable of instantly killing powerful Divine Storage Realm martial artists, such as Wu Qingyi, with utmost ease.
Such tales were countless and beyond measure.
Lu Changsheng’s reversal against the Divine Treasure was nothing short of extraordinary.
The process was irrelevant; the result spoke volumes.
It forged Lu Changsheng’s unparalleled prestige within the Ancient Domain!
The reputation of a man casts a long shadow; who would dare to utter threats in Lu Changsheng’s presence?
