Chapter 468: Chapter 467: The Gathering of Ancient Immortals_1
Lu Yang is currently impersonating Fairy Eternity while exercising the powers of the Acting Sect Master and planning the contents of the sect celebration.
After all, he can’t just have everyone come over to eat, drink, and then finish the event after Fairy Eternity gives the opening and closing remarks, can he?.
This would be uncharacteristically bland for the sect’s 120,000th anniversary celebration. Not just for Eldest Senior Sister, but even Lu Yang himself couldn’t bear to watch this.
Only Fairy Eternity might be fine with it.
“For a celebration, why not just let everyone have a good time? Why make it so complicated?”
Fairy Eternity speaks from her own perspective, advising Lu Yang to discard the complexity of modern celebrations: “Our ancient immortal gatherings weren’t even as complicated as yours. When I wanted to cook, the Qilin Immortal and the others would try to stop me, so I wouldn’t become too tired.”
An ancient immortal meeting basically involves Fairy Eternity using her personal charm to gather the other four unfortunate ones, and occasionally the wives of the Qilin Immortal.
“Well, what do you guys do at the gatherings?”
“We exchange cultivation experiences. As you know, there were only five of us immortals in the world at that time. It was hard to find others to interact with, so we all cherished each gathering.”
“During the gatherings, everyone spoke freely, studied the wonderful uses of Dao Fruit, and the collision of thoughts often brought about new ideas or challenges for future generations.”
Lu Yang nodded, this sounded right, like the common image of immortals, discussing the Dao, testing future generations.
“Like what, specifically?”
“I, for instance, researched how to create the largest explosion possible.”
“Yingtian Immortal asked everyone if there are other tricky penalties you could think of.”
“Time Immortal mentioned that he discovered a new use for the Time Dao Fruit. He created a mysterious space where time flows differently from the outside world. One day of cultivation inside was equivalent to a year passing in the outside world.”
Lu Yang: “…”
Please don’t bring disaster to the world.
“Sometimes, we also weave stories about the Heavenly Court, Buddhism, and things of that sort. Don’t underestimate these stories. Each tale, carefully crafted by the five of us, contains profound wisdom that could enlighten future generations.”
“Yingtian Immortal said this could also conveniently leave the future generations confused about the ancient history. This allows us to hide any times we may have disgraced ourselves.”
Lu Yang felt that Yingtian Immortal was a hard character. With the help of Fairy Eternity, who was a bit of a drag, he did a lot to maintain his imposing manner. He just wondered if Yingtian Immortal knew that he had become a playboy in the eyes of future generations, an image of a man who impregnated countless female cultivators.
He empathizes with Yingtian Immortal and hoped the latter would understand him as well and would spare his life when he eventually comes to claim it.
“Sometimes we play with the planets, throwing them back and forth. The living beings below call this a meteor shower, seeing it as a miracle and making wishes when they see us throwing planets.”
Lu Yang was a great listener, quietly listening to Fairy Eternity recount the history of the ancient times, occasionally asking guided questions. He listened for half an hour.
They say history repeats itself, and that we can use history as a reference in our actions. He carefully pondered the experiences from the ancient immortal gatherings, told by Fairy Eternity, looking for any useful points that he could utilize. In the end, Lu Yang concluded–
He wasted half an hour.
At this moment, Eldest Senior Sister walked into the abode. Although her expression seemed unchanged as usual, Lu Yang, being her Junior Brother, had a fifty percent success rate in detecting her subtle expressions.
He concluded that Eldest Senior Sister came with a purpose.
Although Fairy Eternity didn’t have Lu Yang’s success rate in detection, she also made the same judgment.
After all, she was doing a great job as the Acting Sect Master, and Miss Yun wouldn’t visit the abode without a reason.
Fairy Eternity felt quite satisfied by the sight. With her as the Acting Sect Master, Lu Yang and Miss Yun were like her right and left hands, helping out with various matters.
“Eldest Senior Sister, what is the matter?” Currently, Lu Yang was the one in control of his body.
“I just received a message. Emperor Xia has an idea he would like to implement, and he is inviting the leaders of the Five Great Immortal Sects to the palace for a meeting.”
Lu Yang and Eldest Senior Sister locked eyes for several seconds, then he pointed at himself in disbelief, thinking he might have heard wrong: “Me?”
“Not you, but Fairy Eternity.” Eldest Senior Sister corrected earnestly.
“Well that’s good… Wait, how is that any different!”
“How can there be no difference? It is me, the immortal going to the meeting, not you!” Fairy Eternity glared at Lu Yang, suspecting that he might be planning a coup!
Lu Yang brushed off Fairy Eternity’s protests.
Although he had many titles, including the disciple of Daoist Buyu, junior brother of Yun Zhi, second-in-command of the Eternity sect, founder of Eternity faith, young Master of Heaven’s Court, a host for Fairy Eternity, the most powerful cultivator at the Golden Core Stage, and the record breaker of challenging beyond his cultivation level, he was still uneasy about sitting in a meeting with Emperor Xia and the other leaders of the Four Great Immortal Sects, discussing the matters of the Righteous Path.
“I will be going with you.” Eldest Senior Sister finally gave him some good news.
Lu Yang felt slightly relieved. After all, he was only at the Golden Core Stage. Having Eldest Senior Sister by his side would certainly help ease the pressure.
“Let’s go.”
There really wasn’t much need to prepare for the meeting, it was enough just to show up. Eldest Senior Sister walked out of the abode and looked up at the sky. She pinched her thumb and index finger together, causing a piece of cloud to disappear in the sky, and a lucky cloud appeared under her feet.
“Acting Sect Master, please.”
Since Lu Yang’s body was possessed, Fairy Eternity took no reservations in using Lu Yang’s body to board the cloud.
With a dismissive attitude, Fairy Eternity stood on the cloud, crossed her arms over her chest, looking straight ahead.
“Miss Yun, let’s start.”
Whoosh——
The fortunate cloud suddenly accelerated. Fairy Eternity didn’t react in time and failed to stabilize herself, rolling from the head of the cloud to the tail, clinging on to the cloud with half her body hanging out.
It took her quite a bit of effort to crawl back onto the fortunate cloud, looking quite embarrassed.
“Miss Yun, you did that on purpose!” She glared at Miss Yun with a pout on her face.
Miss Yun responded nonchalantly: “No, it was an accident.”
“It was on purpose!”
“An accident.”
“On purpose!”
“Accident.”
Lu Yang, interrupting the brewing battle between them, asked: “By the way, Eldest Senior Sister, did Emperor Xia mention what this meeting will be about?”
“He mentioned holding a competition for young cultivators, for screening those who wish to start over after disbanding their cultivation.”
“What?”
…
The Imperial Teacher looked up as the lucky cloud flew over his head, squinting his eyes.
“What’s wrong, Imperial Teacher?” his subordinate asked, eager to help.
“That was Lu Yang who just rode past on that fortunate cloud.”
The subordinate was shocked: “What?! Should we attack him now?”
They had come near Seek Dao Sect to study the lay of the land, to see how they could infiltrate the sect and plan for the upcoming events.
They didn’t expect to run into their target just as they neared Seek Dao Sect.
The Imperial Teacher shook his head, he had his plans: “Not now, killing Lu Yang now would be letting him off too easy. We must wait until the grand ceremony begins and kill him under the watchful eyes of everyone!”
Not only did he want to kill Lu Yang, but also destroy Seek Dao Sect!
