Douluo: I’m Cultivating Immortality, and I’m Still a Titled Douluo?

As Lu Yunzhou's words echoed in the room, murmurs of confusion arose among those present.

"Four in the shadows? Which four?"

"Is someone really spying on us from the shadows? I'm a Soul Sage, and yet I didn't sense anything. Those four must at least be at the level of a Titled Douluo!"

"Considering this expert invited them out so courteously, they must be anything but ordinary."

Nearby, Serpent Lance Douluo Yu Long, after carefully probing his surroundings and confirming he hadn't misheard, also furrowed his brow, feeling unsettled. Someone's hiding in the shadows? And I didn't even sense them?

Once he composed himself, Yu Long held his breath, restraining his soul power and diminishing his presence to avoid detection. In a place like Heaven Dou City, he needed to exercise caution. Revealing Qian Renxue's presence or identity here could lead to disaster.

"This young man actually sensed us?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan involuntarily swallowed, feeling a hint of fear. For someone to detect their presence, they would have to be at the level of a Titled Douluo of rank ninety-six or ninety-seven.

But Lu Yunzhou had claimed to be merely… Foundation Establishment?

Yue Guan couldn't help but feel shaken. For someone in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, only the second realm of cultivation, to be on par with peak Titled Douluos, what need would there be to pursue soul power or train as a Soul Master? Wouldn't it be far better to become an immortal cultivator?

Regaining his composure, Yue Guan's breath quickened as he asked Bibi Dong, "Your Majesty the Supreme Pontiff, what should we do now?"

"Of course, let's meet him," Bibi Dong replied, her eyes glinting with interest as she gazed at Lu Yunzhou.

With that, Bibi Dong appeared in the open, accompanied by her two generals, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.

"Bibi Dong of Spirit Hall greets you, sir," she said with a courteous nod. "I was captivated by your skill just now and neglected to introduce myself properly. Please forgive the discourtesy."

Her tone was respectful yet even, her stunning face graced with a slight smile.

That old witch! Is she trying to steal him from me?

Qian Renxue's mood soured upon seeing Bibi Dong's friendly demeanor. She already had no fondness for Bibi Dong—quite the opposite.

Suddenly, a fierce sword aura flared into the air, announcing the arrival of Ning Fengzhi, with his air of scholarly elegance, and Chen Xin, exuding an aura of supremacy.

Seeing this, Liu Erlong murmured in confusion, "Aren't there five people? Why did he only mention four?"

Lu Yunzhou chuckled and explained, "In the current Douluo Continent, there are few I consider my equals. Aside from those I personally respect, only Titled Douluos are worth noting. So, when I said four, I meant the four Titled Douluo experts—not the little Soul Sage."

The "little Soul Sage" Lu Yunzhou referred to was obvious. Other than Ning Fengzhi, who else could it be?

As his words faded, murmurs broke out among the crowd:

"He called the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect Master a 'little Soul Sage'? Isn't he afraid of reprisal from the clan?"

"The rulers of both empires defer to Ning Fengzhi, and yet this cultivator is so arrogant. Can he really afford to be so overbearing?"

"Are all immortal cultivators this powerful?"

Listening to Lu Yunzhou's words, Ning Fengzhi felt insulted but maintained a genial expression.

"Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect greets you, sir," he replied courteously.

As a clan master, teacher to the crown prince, and revered as a master of support, Ning Fengzhi wasn't one to lose his composure over a single comment. Reacting otherwise would have been out of character for him, masking his true nature as a crafty leader.

Still, behind his mild expression was a barely suppressed fury.

Ignoring Ning Fengzhi and not acknowledging Bibi Dong's words, Lu Yunzhou muttered softly, "Watch if you wish, listen if you choose. But don't interrupt my explanation. Understood?"

A fierce and imposing aura erupted around him, giving off an intimidating presence.

Sensing this, Bibi Dong nodded slightly and replied respectfully, "Naturally. We understand."

As for Chrysanthemum Douluo, he knew that Sword Douluo Chen Xin was his greatest rival among Titled Douluos. However, seeing Lu Yunzhou's sharp and domineering aura now, he realized he had found an even greater adversary. Lu Yunzhou's aura exceeded Chen Xin's by far—the two were not even in the same realm.

Feeling the intense aura radiating from Lu Yunzhou, Sword Douluo Chen Xin's pupils contracted, and he instinctively swallowed hard. As Douluo Continent's most skilled sword wielder, Chen Xin was certain that this person must be the one behind the earlier "thunder" and "sword" energy. There was no doubt in his mind—the sword qi he'd sensed had come from Lu Yunzhou!

Is his swordsmanship equal to mine? Just what kind of monster are these immortal cultivators? He's already mastered alchemy and now possesses this terrifying sword skill!

Awakening from his thoughts, Chen Xin felt a surge of fighting spirit—a desire to challenge Lu Yunzhou.

Only a fight can answer whether immortal cultivation surpasses Spirit Master cultivation.

Determined to prove himself, Chen Xin resolved to seek out Lu Yunzhou after his lecture and have a duel.

With the room settling into quiet once again, and with powerful figures like Bibi Dong and Ning Fengzhi eagerly awaiting his explanation, Lu Yunzhou resumed his lecture.

"Formation Masters can set up arrays with a single thought. There are many types of formations—defensive, offensive, and even confinement arrays. The possibilities are vast."

Lu Yunzhou demonstrated by conjuring a small flag infused with Spiritual Energy, and one by one, he showcased various formations like the Five Elements Reversal Array, the Fiery Wind Dragon Array, the Thunder Confinement Array, and the Four Symbols Tortoise Array.

As time passed and the once-clear sky began to darken, Lu Yunzhou concluded his lecture on formation masters.

"In a battlefield of thousands, a single Formation Master is worth more than ten Soul Fusion Techniques!"

After observing the formations, Bibi Dong's breathing grew heavier. She vowed to win Lu Yunzhou over, captivated by his near-superhuman capabilities.

"Our Soul Fusion Technique, Polar Stillness Domain, doesn't compare to even a tenth of his 'Dragon Lock Array,'" thought Chrysanthemum Douluo, swallowing hard. His heart was set on becoming an immortal cultivator.

Soul Master? Bah, who needs it? Yue Guan will cultivate immortality, no matter what it takes!

Lu Yunzhou continued his presentation on the various "Paths" of immortal cultivators—other branches and professions, so to speak.

Among them were craftsmen similar to Douluo's blacksmiths but far superior: Artifact Refiners. There were also Talisman Masters who could inscribe papers with devastating spells, as well as Beast Tamers, Body Refiners, and Sword Cultivators.
