I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples
Chapter 1839 Lu Changsheng: Release just a tiny bit...

The Cangtian God, the one who has appeared before us now, is renowned for unmatched combat prowess.

The Dan Heavenly God, as the name suggests, achieved godhood through alchemical mastery.

The Xuantian God, the strongest among the Immortal Realm’s artifact refiners, stands unparalleled.

Both Cangtian God and Dan Heavenly God have taken personal disciples, yet Xuantian God remains alone, having never accepted one.

Countless artifact refiners in the Immortal Realm aspire to be chosen, but Xuantian God is the most enigmatic. His last public appearance was a millennium ago. If not for a major event that brought the Three Great Heavenly Gods together one thousand years ago, most would have never seen him.

And now.

Xuantian God has personally declared that anyone who meets the cultivation conditions of his Tianxuan Refining Artifact Record will be taken as his disciple.

The crowd erupted into an uproar.

At once, Xu Baorui, Tang Huai, and Ding Wanshan turned their gazes back to Lu Changsheng.

Previously, they had no need to take Lu Changsheng seriously—after all, he had merely managed to craft a vessel by sheer luck.

But once taken as Xuantian God’s disciple, everything would change.

However...

The requirements of the Tianxuan Refining Artifact Record regarding the Fire Path were exceedingly harsh, almost to an impossible degree.

Recalling the fire aura that Lu Changsheng had just released, Xu Baorui, Tang Huai, and Ding Wanshan felt that it was highly unlikely for him to meet the criteria.

They thus felt reassured.

Lu Changsheng, however, appeared utterly dumbfounded.

Though this felt rather impulsive, wasn’t this a golden opportunity?

Systematic investigation could hardly provide useful information, but getting close to a Heavenly God? That was an entirely different matter.

At this moment, Cangtian God, observing Lu Changsheng from above, tossed the Tianxuan Refining Artifact Record scroll down in front of him, saying, "Zhong Sheng, give it a try. Even if you don’t meet the standard, you will still receive a reward."

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng looked at the scroll floating before him, its entire surface encased in raging flames. Flames of such intensity would make it impossible for other Immortal Realm disciples to even attempt to touch it.

Indeed, whispers erupted among the disciples below.

"The first step to cultivating the Tianxuan Refining Artifact Record is being able to touch the scroll. Only then can you connect with its artifact refining technique."

"But... based on Zhong Sheng’s fire aura just now, I doubt he can even get close to it."

"Right. I heard the flames surrounding the Tianxuan Refining Artifact Record don’t depend on one’s cultivation realm but on their affinity with the Fire Path."

Hearing the murmurs below.

Lu Changsheng, who had already extended his hand into the raging flames, had a formerly calm, indifferent expression that quickly contorted into one of extreme pain and agony.

Yes.

In truth, the moment Lu Changsheng inserted his hand into the flames, it felt as though he had dipped it into a hand warmer. Quite comfortable, actually...

Aside from the density of the flames being so intense that their essence practically solidified.

Still, he had to put on a good act.

It was necessary to approach this Xuantian God.

Under countless shocked gazes, Lu Changsheng reached out and touched the Tianxuan Refining Artifact Record.

Gasps rippled through the onlookers.

Cangtian God, on the other hand, nodded in satisfaction.

The capacity to touch the Tianxuan Refining Artifact Record having only exhibited such limited fire aura earlier was already beyond imagination.

On the hanging pavilion, behind its light veils, Jiang Yiyu frowned faintly.

Her sense of unease was growing stronger and stronger.

Could that level of fire aura really be enough to touch the Tianxuan Refining Artifact Record scroll?

The moment Lu Changsheng touched the scroll.

Cangtian God said once more, "Just release your aura."

Lu Changsheng considered for a moment—just how much should he hold back?

If he suppressed it too much, as with the aura he had released earlier, it might not resonate with the Tianxuan Refining Artifact Record at all, as everyone had said...

Then perhaps... just release a tiny bit?

Deciding on this, Lu Changsheng slightly loosened the suppression on his aura.

But.

The very moment he released it.

The area around the Tianxuan Refining Artifact Record scroll erupted into chaos!

An overwhelming inferno instantly roared to life like a firestorm, tearing through the sky!

Centered around Lu Changsheng, the flames isolated both Cangtian God and the Immortal Realm disciples below, forming what seemed like an endless sea of fire in the heavens!

Witnessing this, a stunned Cangtian God immediately waved his hand, erecting a barrier above the disciples below.

Otherwise, this fiery storm would undoubtedly have left most of the disciples with severe burns—or destroyed their very souls.

The disciples below were utterly dumbfounded.

Xu Baorui, Ding Wanshan, and Tang Huai stared through the inferno at Lu Changsheng’s faintly visible silhouette within, expressions as if they’d seen a ghost.

What?

Judging by the earlier fire aura he released, how could it possibly trigger such a massive resonance with the Tianxuan Refining Artifact Record?!

Cangtian God also fixed Lu Changsheng with a peculiar look, though he said nothing.

In the pavilion, behind the light veils, Jiang Yiyu clenched her teeth in frustration.

She finally realized what had felt off earlier.

Indeed.

Such unparalleled talent, capable of silently crafting a solution to a problem faced by the Immortal Realm’s artifact refiners for countless millennia.

And something even Xuantian God had failed to achieve.

How could he possibly lack profound attainment in the Fire Path?

After all, both artifact refining and alchemy rely on an exceptional foundation in the Fire Path.

With such extraordinary mastery of fire attributes...

Even if it wasn’t purely Yang Attribute, this level of skill was more than enough to suppress the Yin qi within her!

It was obvious now—he’d been hiding his abilities all along.

But why was he hiding them?

And when she confronted him directly, why did he deny it?

This could only mean one thing: Zhong Sheng was unwilling to engage in dual cultivation with her, the revered Goddess of the Immortal Realm!

Though Jiang Yiyu harbored no particular feelings for Lu Changsheng, her pride had been wounded. As someone so highly regarded, being rejected by a disciple was a bitter pill to swallow.

This was only human nature, inevitable and unavoidable.

Just as Jiang Yiyu was about to confront him.

The sky split open once more.

An elder clad in black appeared by Cangtian God’s side.

Cangtian God glanced at the black-robed elder and chuckled, "What, have you finally decided to show yourself, you old thing?"

The elder said nothing, his expression indifferent, but his eyes burned with shock and excitement as he fixed his gaze on Lu Changsheng.

The disciples below saw the elder through the sea of flames and immediately dropped to one knee, their expressions reverent as they called out, "Greetings, Xuantian God!"

That’s right.

The black-robed elder was none other than Xuantian God, one of the Three Great Heavenly Gods.

At that moment, the sea of fire dissipated.

The Tianxuan Refining Artifact Record now rested quietly in Lu Changsheng’s hands.

Xuantian God descended gracefully before Lu Changsheng, saying, "No one has ever resonated with the Tianxuan Refining Artifact Record as strongly as you have—not even me."

Lu Changsheng was speechless.

A blank, ashen expression took over his face.

Staring at the scroll in his hands, he thought to himself.

Seriously, brother?

I’m just saying, I only released a tiny little bit, okay?!

And yet you couldn’t handle it?
