'As for the Daoist Sect benefiting from this?'
Lü Zhong couldn't have cared less. As long as he could achieve Divinity Transformation, he would make the Daoist Sect spit out everything they had gained.
To break through within a thousand years, he was going all in!

Just as the Southern Barbarian Immortal Cultivation World was abuzz with discussions about Star Sun True Monarch's plan...
Lü Zhong was already meeting with Feng Rui.
"Tsk tsk. In less than a hundred years, you've actually broken through to the Late-stage Nascent Soul. That's far beyond my expectations!" A light flashed in Feng Rui's eyes. He appeared to be smiling, but inwardly, he sighed with regret.
'Under these circumstances, I can only give up on my previous idea.'
'After all, the current Lü Zhong is now qualified to speak with me as an equal.'
