My Dreams Connect to Ancient Times-Chapter 67 - 66: I Ask Again: Will You Retreat?

Years sink into years, time ages beyond time.

Fusheng Lu Xuan Celestial Venerable...

This was the first time Lu Xuan had felt such a severe sense of disconnect. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but he also felt a little terrified.

His dreams were of the Ancient Times, the age of myths, an era when Immortals and Buddhas held sway over the world.

But in his dreams, he had absolutely no idea what Dragon Tiger Mountain was!

So how could the present-day Dragon Tiger Mountain be chanting his venerable title?

’Is it because I’ll form a great connection with Dragon Tiger Mountain in a future dream? Does that mean... the future is already set?’

’But Teacher said the future is uncertain!’

While Lu Xuan was lost in his daze, the two Daoist lineages once again began to square off against each other.

Although Qi Tiansheng didn’t understand what had just happened, he still raised his head proudly.

"The title has been chanted, and the phenomenon blotted out thirty thousand li of the Celestial Vault. Fellow Daoist from Guangcheng Palace, do you still wish to contend with me?"

Qing He Daoist snorted coldly.

"It is merely the glory of your ancestors! Though my Guangcheng Palace does not flaunt its presence to the world, I’d wager it’s no weaker than any other Daoist Lineage of this era!"

"Then what do you propose? Shall we settle this with a fight?"

"And why not?"

Just as the two were at loggerheads, Lu Xuan came back to his senses. He gave a slight cough, drawing everyone’s attention.

He said faintly,

"It seems you two have forgotten to ask my opinion. I have already said, whether it be Guangcheng Palace or Dragon Tiger Mountain, I will go to neither at this moment. Once the matter in the East Sea is concluded, I will pay each of you a visit."

Lu Xuan’s tone was exceptionally firm this time, and his thoughts were very clear.

’Just as Senior Brother Guangcheng said, if you really think about it, the people of Guangcheng Palace should address me as their Grand Ancestor!’

’As for Dragon Tiger Mountain... since they already revere me as an ancient venerable, they are, by extension, my juniors as well.’

’Since when is there a rule or reason for an elder to be constrained by his juniors?’

’Even if my own cultivation is low!’

The more he thought this way, the more confident Lu Xuan became, and his expression grew increasingly calm.

"I must ask you two to leave with your disciples. Do not disturb the peace of this place."

As his words fell, Wu Datong also took a step forward, making his own stance clear.

Although he still couldn’t figure out what was going on with Lu the Kid, it didn’t stop him from backing the boy up.

The expressions of Qing He Daoist and Qi Tiansheng darkened simultaneously. Tempers were already flaring from their confrontation.

Combined with the recent commotion...

’There could be complications.’

Qi Tiansheng narrowed his eyes, a half-smile on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Qing He, why don’t we first join forces to hold this one back, while we let the juniors compete for Scholar Lu Xiao’s allegiance? What say you?"

As he spoke, he pointed at Wu Datong.

Qing He Daoist glanced at the three people behind him, then at the two behind Qi Tiansheng, and pondered for a moment.

’Hmm, the advantage is mine!’

He nodded decisively.

"Then so be it. My Guangcheng Palace’s Supreme Treasure possesses a Divine Technique that can expand the world and conceal everything. It’s perfect for preventing the force of our clash from affecting the outside world and drawing attention."

"Please!" Qi Tiansheng gripped his Peach Wood Sword and made a gesture.

Both of them had completely ignored Lu Xuan. He was just a boy. Although there was some mystery to him...

...he was ultimately too weak.

Qing He Daoist took a deep breath, raised the ancient, damaged Great Seal in his hands, and activated the Talisman his senior brother had given him. The Magical Power sealed within it flowed out and into the Great Seal.

The Ancient Seal trembled, the rust on its surface churning. Then, suddenly!

A trace of vast and majestic celestial might manifested within the wooden house!

Lu Xuan glanced around, surprised to find the space within the wooden house being stretched, and stretched again. What was originally a mere three hundred square feet or so was now so vast he couldn’t see its edges!

’What kind of Divine Technique is this?’

He paid no mind to the conflict in the room, focusing all his attention on experiencing the spatial stretching and changes, attempting to analyze them.

’Interesting.’

’The more I analyze it, the more interesting it becomes.’

’It even seems to have a slight connection to the Wood Splitting Form that Senior Brother Guangcheng taught me. No, it’s more like a technique derived from the core principles of the Wood Splitting Form!’

Lu Xuan gradually became engrossed in it.

Meanwhile, in the center of the room.

Qing He Daoist laughed heartily.

"Fellow Daoist, I can see you are a Seven Tribulations Earth Immortal, but you are injured. And though I have been afflicted by a plague, with Fellow Daoist Qi and I joining forces, I fear you are still no match for us, are you?"

As they spoke, the two Great Daoists advanced together. With the Ancient Seal suppressing the area, they no longer feared their auras leaking out and attracting outside attention, so they became unrestrained.

The terrifying aura of the Earth Immortal Level was fully unleashed, sweeping through the wooden house that had been expanded to near-infinite size!!

Lu Xuan, who was trying to analyze the spatial extension Dharma, was interrupted. He found it difficult to breathe. Every cell in his body was screaming a warning, and his organs clenched!

Theoretically, this was the first time he had truly faced the pressure of an Earth Immortal.

Although he had faced it before, that was while using the Keeper of the Records. In that state, his own cultivation had surpassed that of an Earth Immortal, so he hadn’t felt a thing.

But this time was different.

The auras of three Earth Immortals clashed. Even though only a faint wisp of the aftershock washed over him, it made Lu Xuan extremely uncomfortable, his body trembling instinctively.

A feeling of insignificance and humility rose in his heart, but it dissipated in the span of a single breath, replaced by extreme calm and rationality!

Supreme Forgetting Emotions.

Lu Xuan continued to comprehend and analyze the spatial extension, his mastery of the Wood Splitting Form advancing by leaps and bounds.

In the center of the room.

Qi Tiansheng and Qing He Daoist joined forces. With the addition of the remarkable Peach Wood Sword and the ancient, though damaged, Great Seal that was suspected to be a Supreme Treasure, Wu Datong was already being steadily pushed back, even though they had yet to trade actual blows and were merely clashing with their auras.

The juniors of the two Daoist lineages were also squaring off against each other.

Ping Tian and Ping Qian briefly engaged the two Daoists from Dragon Tiger Mountain. All of them were Grandmasters, so it was difficult to determine a winner in a short amount of time.

Meanwhile, the remaining female Daoist, Ping Su, walked smilingly toward Lu Xuan. With her hands behind her back, she strode forward with a confident swagger.

"Little one." Her watery eyes were filled with curiosity and a desire to probe. She chuckled lightly, "Well, I can still call you ’little one’ now. Once you return with us to Guangcheng Palace, I’ll have to address you as Grand Ancestor..."

Seeing Lu Xuan’s eyes tightly shut and getting no reaction, Ping Su frowned slightly.

Then she added,

"Hey, say something, will you? Why are you like our Eldest Senior Brother, as quiet as a clam?"

Lu Xuan still gave no response.

She finally lost her patience. After all, the battle behind her was heating up, and the three Earth Immortals were on the verge of erupting into combat. There was no time to waste.

"Since you don’t want to talk, then just come with me..."

Ping Su reached out, casually intending to grab the boy by the collar and lift him up.

But just as her hand extended, she saw the clean-cut and handsome boy’s eyes snap open.

Those eyes...

They were calm, vast, majestic, indifferent, high and mighty, looking down upon all living beings!

’It’s just like... just like... Heaven itself!’

Ping Su was startled and stumbled back several steps, goosebumps rising on her skin involuntarily.

"What’s going on?" Not far away, Ping Tian, who was entangled with the Daoist from Dragon Tiger Mountain, sensed something was wrong and shouted the question.

But he did not receive an answer from Ping Su. What came was just a single word...

"Silence."

In his state of Supreme Forgetting Emotions, Lu Xuan’s tone was unquestionable, as if he were issuing a decree.

The four Daoists locked in combat briefly paused. Along with the three Earth Immortals, they all subconsciously turned to look at the boy on the bed.

The four Daoists’ expressions changed slightly, while Qing He, Qi Tiansheng, and Wu Datong were all momentarily stunned.

Lu Xuan just sat there quietly, yet he appeared immeasurably majestic. His eyes were filled with indifference—supreme, emotionless, and devoid of thought.

"Guangcheng Palace, will you retreat?" the boy asked indifferently.

Although Qing He Daoist was alarmed and uncertain, he still said,

"Scholar Lu Xiao, you must come with us today. I am not negotiating with you..."

"Seal, come."

Lu Xuan beckoned with his hand. Qing He Daoist’s expression changed drastically. He felt an irresistibly terrifying aura surge from the boy’s body, and his heart couldn’t stop trembling!

In a daze, he seemed to see a Golden Decree. He saw an ancient Celestial Venerable sitting high among the clouds, casting down a gaze full of wrath!

The ancient Great Seal slipped from his grasp and drifted slowly, so slowly, into Lu Xuan’s palm.

The moment it landed in his palm, the Great Seal trembled. The rust briefly receded, and from the crisscrossing cracks on the seal’s body, two words could faintly be seen.

"Celestial Flipping."

"Now, will you retreat?"

Lu Xuan held up the Great Seal with one hand. A dim, shadowy aura surrounded him, which, combined with the Celestial Flipping Great Seal, gave off the feeling that he could tear the sky and shatter the earth.

As everyone looked on, their minds were captivated. In their daze, they seemed to see the Celestial Realms themselves flip over and come crashing down, to see all of creation topple, to see the heavens collapsing in the northwest and the earth sinking in the southeast!

"I ask again, will you all retreat?" the boy asked a second time, his tone indifferent. The Great Seal in his hand vibrated, its might resplendent and terrifying.

A dead silence fell, with only the sound of heavy breathing and violently pounding hearts to be heard.
