Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 735: The Popular Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou

Lu Yang felt that the matter of the Ember Legacy Dynasty sounded extremely dangerous.

The Wooden Seal Savant was sleeping peacefully, yet he was killed in his sleep just because he knew about the Ember Legacy Dynasty.

Nowadays, no one in the cultivation knows about the dynasty. I can also imagine that immortal’s methods weren’t gentle, likely killing everyone who was in the know, which resulted in the thorough erasure of the Ember Legacy Dynasty.

As the saying goes, a wise man doesn’t stand under a collapsing wall. Naturally, I must stay as far away as I can.

“But what indescribable secrets does the Ember Legacy Dynasty hold?” Lu Yang couldn’t figure it out. He had been aware of its existence for a long time, but no great fortuitous opportunity or terror had befallen him.

“Strange.”

“Little Junior Brother, your focus should be on cultivation now. Do not involve yourself in matters of immortals.” Yun Zhi hauled Lu Yang out of Incarceration Peak to prevent him from learning too much.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy snickered. This demonstrates who holds a higher place in Lass Yun’s heart.

“Oh, and Senior, you go out too.” Yun Zhi chased the Everlasting Immortal Fairy out as well. Given her nature, she’d probably turn around and dump everything she learned onto Little Junior Brother.

With the important questions done, the only thing left was ascertaining the veracity of the answers. After asking the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord, they could cross-check it with his aides later.

“The Ember Legacy Dynasty existed for one hundred thousand years, which is to say that this immortal has been dead for four hundred thousand years?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy felt she had suddenly aged another one hundred thousand years.

“Immortal Fairy, your point of focus seems a bit different from the others’.”

As the two spoke, they ran into the Vast Sea Daoist Lord, who was heading deeper into the Dao-Seeking Sect.

“Senior Vast Sea, what are you doing?”

“Don’t tell anyone you saw me,” the Vast Sea Daoist Lord hastily muttered as he continued to fly inward.

Lu Yang was puzzled as to why the Vast Sea Daoist Lord appeared to be in a hurry. Only when he reached the Nine Peaks of the Dao-Seeking Sect did he discover the reason.

While he and Yun Zhi were interrogating the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord, various major sects had sent visitation requests, hoping to visit the Dao-Seeking Sect and witness the legendary Vast Sea Daoist Lord.

Representatives from the Nine Great S-Class Sects and the other four Great Immortal Sects had arrived, making the Dao-Seeking Sect exceptionally lively. After all, chances to meet a half-immortal were rare. Not everyone was like Lu Yang, who had an immortal inside him and ran into half-immortals when he went out.

The Vast Sea Daoist Lord was probably hiding deep within the Dao-Seeking Sect because he didn’t want to meet so many people.

Since the Taciturn Daoist Priest was often away and Yun Zhi, the person-in-charge, was at Incarceration Peak, First Elder had no choice but to take charge and host the guests.

“Founding Ancestor Vast Sea is currently in seclusion. Everyone, you may leave your gifts and return to wherever you came from.” First Elder spoke politely and with proper etiquette, fully displaying the deportment of a representative from a major sect.

Ever since First Elder learned that the Vast Sea Daoist Lord was alive, his backbone had straightened considerably. In the past, he wouldn’t have dared speak like this even if he was on home turf.

The facts proved that the Grand-Shifu made the right decision by choosing not to inform the Dao-Seeking Sect’s higher-ups that the Vast Sea Daoist Lord was still alive.

The visitors from the various major sects fumed, blowing their beards and scowling with eyes wide, but they dared not cause a scene.

“Old Lu, over here!” Lu Yang heard Meng Jingzhou’s voice and looked up to see the latter on the second floor of the Hundred Fragrance Restaurant, beckoning to him like a brothel courtesan.

Lu Yang went upstairs and saw many familiar faces.

“Lan Ting, Bai Ming, Yan Tianzhi, all of you came too,” Lu Yang greeted them with a smile. The major sects had also brought their outstanding juniors.

Man Gu, Tao Yaoye, Li Haoran, and Meng JIngzhou were also present as the Dao-Seeking Sect’s outstanding juniors.

“Your Dao-Seeking Sect has been making a splash.” Bai Ming laughed and smacked Lu Yang’s shoulder lightly, full of envy. All he had heard on his journey here were discussions about the Dao-Seeking Sect.

“It’s just luck, all luck.” Lu Yang smiled modestly.

“It’s lucky for us that you’re only making waves now. If it had been a few days earlier, I’m afraid those who wanted to join our sect would have flocked to yours instead.”

The Five-Elements Sect had just finished recruiting disciples a few days ago.

“The same goes for the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace. When my senior and junior sisters went to assess the characters of the mortals and informed them they could join us, many mentioned they wanted to join the Dao-Seeking Sect and become your junior sister, Senior Brother Lu Yang.” Lan Ting’s tone carried a hint of resentment.

If it weren’t for our earnest persuasion, this year’s intake would likely have been less than half of previous years.

Tao Yaoye suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

“Were there any who wanted to become my junior sister?” Meng Jingzhou asked, pointing at himself.

Lan Ting’s expression turned strange as she hesitantly nodded. “There were some too.”

Meng Jingzhou was elated, thinking his charm was not inferior to Lu Yang’s.

“Senior Brother Meng, everyone outside knows your identity as the Eldest Young Master of the Meng Family. Your story of remaining unflustered despite having beauties in your embrace and your single-minded devotion to pursuing immortality has also spread.”

“So?”

“So those young ladies privately call you the ‘Aloof and Noble Buddha Scion of the Imperial City’ and want to become the Buddha Scion’s wife.

Meng Jingzhou’s face turned dark.

Despite having been silent all this time, Yan Tianzhi couldn’t hold back a giggle. His contagious laughter soon got everyone laughing.

“We’re all at the Intermediate Nascent Soul Stage now, right? How about we find a place to spar?” Bai Ming suggested they had eaten and drunk their fill.

“Let’s spar then.” Everyone was at an age where they enjoyed combat and readily agreed.

~~~

News that Lu Yang and the others would be fighting on the arena stage spread quickly. Lu Yang’s reputation was far too resounding. Even among the numerous talents in the Dao-Seeking Sect, his unique feats stood peerless.

“Our sect is going to fight other immortal sects!”

“Really? Who’s fighting?”

“Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Meng, Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Man, and Senior Sister Tao.”

“So many people!”

“Quick, quick! We’ll miss it if we’re too late.”

The area around the arena stage was packed, and the onlookers’ eyes were full of excitement.

The newly recruited disciples—Zhuang Ping, Zhou Xing’er, Gu Junye, and the Innate Daoist Priest—had also come to watch.

“Well, who’s fighting whom?”

“Junior Sister Lan Ting, how about you and I have a match?” Tao Yaoye took the initiative to approach Lan Ting, holding a red paper umbrella with half her face shrouded in shadows.

“Sure. Please go easy on me then, Junior Sister Tao.”

“Barbarian Tribe?”

“Yes.”

“Then it’s us two.” Yan Tianzhi was concise. Their Five-Elements Sect’s battle tattoo cultivation method originated from ancient tribes. With an actual Ancient Barbarian like Man Gu here, how could his desire for battle not surge?

“Junior Brother Li Haoran, you don’t seem to have much of a reputation outside. I wonder how your methods are?” Bai Ming smiled. Both Man Gu and Tao Yaoye were famous in the outside world, but Li Haoran was an exception—he was never seen taking action in public, as if he didn’t exist.

“You’ll know once you try.” Li Haoran wasn’t afraid of Bai Ming. He was suspected of possessing a Reincarnation Incipient Dao Fruit, and his origins were unclear. If he left the Dao-Seeking Sect, he would likely draw unwanted attention. This was why he didn’t have a prominent reputation.

But my reputation doesn’t equate to my combat skills.

“So, it’s just the two of us left?” Lu Yang didn’t expect the matchups to be decided so quickly.

Only he and Meng Jingzhou remained on the field.
