There is no future for menial disciples? I draw talismans to achieve immortality

"Why do you want to challenge the Great Vehicle Golden List?" Xu Changshou asked curiously.

Venerable Guye laughed and said, "Junior Brother Xu, you don't know this, but once you can break into the Mahayana Golden List, your status and position on Giant Gate Peak will be raised accordingly."

Honglian laughed and said, "If I hadn't heard that you were unparalleled in combat, I wouldn't have let you challenge the Mahayana Golden Ranking. There are no mid-Mahayana cultivators on the Mahayana Golden Ranking; the lowest cultivation level is at least late-Mahayana."

"Later Mahayana Buddhism?"

Xu Changshou laughed. If the person at the bottom of the Mahayana Golden List is actually in the late Mahayana stage, then it would be worth a try.

Honglian nodded and said, "That's right. After the top two hundred on the Mahayana Golden List, most of them are late-stage Mahayana cultivators."

"clear."

Xu Changshou understood. It seemed that there were only two hundred cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Mahayana realm in the Donghua Immortal Sect.

The Mahayana Golden List includes three hundred people. Since there are not enough Mahayana Perfection cultivators, the remaining rankings are filled by people in the late Mahayana stage.

Xu Changshou thought for a moment and asked, "Senior Sister Honglian, if I were to challenge someone, should I challenge the person ranked 300th?"

"That's not necessary!"

Venerable Red Lotus shook his head and said, "Just challenge someone at the bottom of the rankings. In our Giant Gate Peak, we usually challenge Venerable Wanyan because he is ranked 296th and is the gatekeeper of the Great Vehicle Golden List of our Giant Gate Peak."

Venerable Guye added with a smile, "Each peak has a gatekeeper for the Golden List. The gatekeeper of each peak is the person with the lowest ranking on the Great Vehicle Golden List for that peak. Venerable Wanyan is ranked 296th, which is the lowest ranking on Giant Gate Peak, so he is the gatekeeper of Giant Gate Peak. In this way, if you want to challenge the Great Vehicle Golden List, you can do so on this peak, without having to go to other peaks. As long as you can defeat the gatekeeper, you can replace his ranking. Wanyan's ranking will automatically drop one place, becoming the 297th, but he will still be the gatekeeper of Giant Gate Peak."

Is it Venerable Wanyan?

Xu Changshou became interested. If the gatekeeper of the Mahayana Golden List wasn't Venerable Wanyan, he wouldn't have been very interested in taking on the challenge.

As for Venerable Wanyan, that's a different story. Speaking of which, I do have some minor conflicts with Venerable Wanyan.

Last time, I beat up Xiao Changsheng. As Xiao Changsheng's master, Venerable Wanyan came to seek revenge. Fortunately, Feng Chenglong and others stopped Venerable Wanyan, otherwise, I would have been taught a lesson.

Xu Changshou had no intention of letting go of such a good opportunity for revenge.

Venerable Wanyan, hehe!

"The investiture ceremony officially begins. Please welcome Venerable Longevity!"

A voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Xu Changshou's thoughts.

Xu Changshou looked up and saw that Zhu Miaoshan, Hu Ruilong, Gao Jianmin, and Situ Xianchang had all arrived.

At this moment, all four of them turned their gazes toward Xu Changshou.

"Shh!"

All eyes turned to Xu Changshou.

"Please welcome the Venerable Longevity!"

Zhu Miaoshan spoke again.

Xu Changshou slowly walked over and clasped his hands in greeting to the four people: "Disciple Xu Changshou pays respects to Uncle Zhu, Uncle Hu, Uncle Gao, and Uncle Situ."

Zhu Miaoshan smiled and said, "Everyone is here, let's begin."

"Yes!"

Next came the complex investiture ceremony.

The various ceremonies lasted for an hour before concluding.

"The ceremony is complete. From this day forward, Xu Changshou shall be conferred the title of Venerable Changshou."

"Congratulations, congratulations, Venerable Longevity."

"Congratulations to the Venerable Longevity on being granted the title of Venerable."

Congratulations, Junior Brother Xu!

……

After the ceremony, the banquet begins.

Various delicacies and fine wines were served.

After a few drinks, everyone was slightly tipsy.

Xu Changshou glanced around the main hall and saw Wanyan Zun and Xiao Changsheng, master and disciple, in a corner of the hall.

So Xu Changshou stood up and said, "Uncle-Master Zhu, this disciple wishes to challenge Senior Brother Wanyan."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

"What? You've gone crazy, kid."

"They actually want to challenge Senior Brother Wanyan."

"Junior Brother Xu, you must not act rashly."

“Yes, Junior Brother Xu, you are only in the mid-stage of Mahayana. There are no mid-stage Mahayana cultivators on the Mahayana Golden List. It’s not too late to challenge it after you break through to the late-stage Mahayana.”

"Junior Brother Xu, please think it over."

……

“Hahahaha, hahaha, hahaha!”

Inside the main hall, the loud laughter of Venerable Wanyan echoed.

"Xu Changshou, who gave you the audacity to challenge me? You're utterly arrogant!" Venerable Wanyan sneered.

"Yes, Junior Brother Xu was too impulsive."

"How could he possibly be a match for Senior Brother Wanyan?"

"He's definitely no match for them."

……

In the corner, Xiao Changsheng revealed a warm smile and lowered his voice, saying, "Master, the chance for revenge has come. Help me teach this brat a lesson."

Zhu Miaoshan glanced at Xu Changshou, frowned slightly, and asked, "Venerable Changshou, are you sure you want to challenge Venerable Wanyan?"

Xu Changshou nodded: "This disciple is certain!"

Then Zhu Miaoshan looked at Venerable Wanyan and asked, "Venerable Wanyan, will you accept the challenge?"

"This disciple accepts the challenge," Venerable Wanyan said with a smile.

"Junior Brother Hu!"

Zhu Miaoshan gave Hu Ruilong a wink, and Hu Ruilong nodded slightly, patted his storage bag, and took out the Battle Pool.

With a casual toss, the Battle Pool landed in the center of the main hall, expanding to several meters in size.

Hu Ruilong laughed and said, "Venerable Longevity, Venerable Wanyan is ranked 296th on the Mahayana Golden List. Defeating Venerable Wanyan will allow you to take his place. You two should prepare yourselves and enter the Battle Pool to begin the battle."

"Yes!"

Xu Changshou clasped his hands slightly, then leaped into the fighting pool.

Without hesitation, Venerable Wanyan followed him into the dueling pool.

The two stood facing each other in the dueling pool.

"Are we about to start?"

"Can the Venerable One of Longevity win?"

"The Longevity Venerable is too arrogant; he is bound to lose!"

"I think Venerable Longevity is no match for Venerable Wanyan."

"He definitely can't do it!"

Before the battle began, people in the hall started discussing the matter, and surprisingly, not a single person present was optimistic about Xu Changshou's chances.

In the corner, Xu Ye looked at Xu Changshou in the fighting pool, feeling a mix of emotions. He hadn't expected Xu Changshou to rise to prominence so quickly.

He had only recently broken through to the Mahayana realm, and unexpectedly, Xu Changshou had already begun challenging the Mahayana Golden List.

Regardless of the outcome of this battle, Xu Changshou will undoubtedly become famous. After all, he is only in the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm, yet he dares to challenge the late-stage Mahayana realm. This courage alone is beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.

In the Battle Pool.

Venerable Wanyan glanced at Xu Changshou and said contemptuously, "I didn't expect you to challenge me. You have a lot of courage, but I can only say that you are overestimating yourself. You are no match for me."

Xu Changshou sneered: "Senior Brother Wanyan, it's too early to talk about victory before the battle even begins. Since I dare to challenge you, I naturally have confidence."

"Hahaha, hahaha, hahaha!" Venerable Wanyan laughed wildly once again, seemingly mocking Xu Changshou's ignorance.
