Chapter 1336

But I am only a one-star Dao Lord realm now, and I have never left the Azure Cloud Star Sea. Most of the time I cultivate on Luminous Illumination Star. However, I do know a major matter concerning Yang Tianming: he is the fiancé of Chi Yao Xianzi of the Jade Pool Imperial Dynasty!

Upon hearing that, Chen Zhangsheng showed an interested expression.

Xiao Yue said mysteriously in a low voice, "That Chi Yao Xianzi is the younger sister of Yaoxi of the Jade Pool Imperial Dynasty; Yaoxi's cultivation has already reached heaven-piercing and earth-penetrating, almost standing at the pinnacle of the Jade Pool Star Domain. Chi Yao Xianzi's cultivation is somewhat weaker."

"It is said that Chi Yao Xianzi's marriage was bestowed by the old emperor; he selected Yang Tianming! This instantly made Yang Tianming a figure at the center of controversy!"

Ji Fuyao fell into thought.

Xiao Yue again said, "But Chi Yao Xianzi utterly looks down on Yang Tianming, saying he is merely a country bumpkin from the Azure Cloud Star Sea, relying on a short-lived rise from an ancient legacy, and will ultimately fall like a shooting star!"

"I've heard that Chi Yao Xianzi has repeatedly pleaded with the old emperor to cancel this engagement, but the old emperor refused!"

A gleam flashed in Chen Zhangsheng's eyes, "What exactly did the old emperor see in Yang Tianming?"

Xiao Yue chuckled, "The old emperor actually shares a similarity with Yang Tianming: both are madmen. The old emperor is called the 'Old Madman' by outsiders; he venerates the Ancestor of the Butterfly Moon, is extremely loyal to our Hehuan Sect, once destroyed several branches of the Longevity Sect, and in battle is even more formidable than Yang Tianming."

Yang Tianming is similarly mad; he once obtained a legacy in an ancient secret realm, from then on he rose to prominence, becoming a well-known student of the Cloud Cliff Academy. When Yang Tianming fights, he is also fierce—outsiders all call him the 'Little Madman'. Oh, by the way, the Cloud Cliff Academy is also a subordinate force of our Longevity Sect.

"An Old Madman and a Little Madman—perhaps the old emperor appreciates Yang Tianming precisely for that!"

Moreover, Yang Tianming's acquisition of that ancient legacy is no simple matter; it is said to be the bequest of an ancient titan, whose ultimate treasure is that ancient small tower in Yang Tianming's hand, possessing tremendous power!

Chen Zhangsheng frowned, "Is that all?"

Xiao Yue stomped her foot angrily, "Of course not just that. Rumor has it that Chi Yao Xianzi also once entered that ancient ruin; it seems Yang Xuan saved Chi Yao Xianzi. But Chi Yao Xianzi has repeatedly denied this rumor, and she even killed several strong individuals who spread this news, after which the Jade Pool Star Domain was awed, and no one dares mention it anymore."

"Interesting, interesting." Chen Zhangsheng listened with great relish.

Xiao Yue gave Chen Zhangsheng an angry glance, then took Ji Fuyao's hand and said with a chuckle, "Fuyao, should we call that guy Yang Tianming over? I know him."

Chen Zhangsheng nodded, "That works too."

Xiao Yue puffed out her proud chest and said proudly, "I guard Luminous Illumination Star; although it's just a small star, in the Azure Cloud Star Sea, and even in the Jade Pool Star Domain, it enjoys a certain reputation. Because the Venerable Lord Lu and the Ancestor of the Butterfly Moon once held discourses here!"

"The name Luminous Illumination Star means the radiant fire that illuminates all heavens. It refers to the great Dao of Venerable Lord Lu—taking just a strand can illuminate all heavens, boundless and terrifying."

Ji Fuyao smiled slightly, quite approving of this name.

Xiao Yue proudly said, "So everyone in the Azure Cloud Star Sea knows my name! Yang Tianming has also come to Luminous Illumination Star to pay respects to the site where Venerable Lord Lu and the Ancestor of the Butterfly Moon held their discourses; of course we know each other."

Chen Zhangsheng gave a thumbs-up, "Amazing!"

Xiao Yue smiled, then immediately sent a mental message to Yang Tianming: "Yang Tianming, come quickly—I have a surprise for you."

Yang Tianming was healing his wounds; he slowly opened his eyes, somewhat surprised, and asked, "Elder Xiao Yue, is that you?"

Xiao Yue said, "It's me!"

Yang Tianming immediately rose and stepped through the void toward the spot marked by Xiao Yue in the starry sky.

Boom!

After Yang Tianming landed, Chen Zhangsheng flicked his sleeve, directly sealing the surrounding void, casting numerous sealing prohibitions, isolating heaven and earth.

Xiao Yue pouted, displeased, "Hey, what are you doing?"

That guy Chen Zhangsheng is always mysterious.

Yang Tianming looked at Ji Fuyao, then at Chen Zhangsheng, slightly startled; Ji Fuyao's spirit fire Dao is incredibly heaven-defying, while Chen Zhangsheng is as calm as ancient times without ripples; he could not see through them at all, feeling somewhat astonished, he asked Xiao Yue, "Who are these two?"

Xiao Yue, holding Ji Fuyao's jade hand, introduced, "Yang Tianming, you are very fortunate. You have always wanted to meet Venerable Lord Lu, and even the master of that ancient legacy you obtained also pays homage to Venerable Lord Lu. The two standing before you now are Venerable Lord Lu's two disciples."

This is Venerable Lord Lu's eldest disciple, Ji Fuyao!

This is Venerable Lord Lu's third disciple, Chen Zhangsheng!

Upon hearing that, Yang Tianming was stunned on the spot.

Hum!

His mind went completely blank.

Excited! Shocked! Unbelievable!

In legend, back then Venerable Lord Lu, with a mere gesture, wiped out numerous supreme beings, causing many titans in this world to wish to become his disciples—even the master of his legacy desired such fortune.

Unfortunately, Venerable Lord Lu does not accept disciples!

Some powerful demon titans, settling for second best, wanted to become Venerable Lord Lu's mount!

But Venerable Lord Lu also does not accept mounts!

This is a regret in the hearts of many supreme titans.

In ages past, Venerable Lord Lu and the Ancestor of the Butterfly Moon held discourses in many places; Luminous Illumination Star was one of them. As they discoursed, the Dao Resonance illuminated the void, brilliant across billions of miles, benefiting countless beings immensely, inaugurating an age of cultivation prosperity, causing countless titans to bow.

That discourse, though called a discourse, was often Venerable Lord Lu answering the Ancestor of the Butterfly Moon's questions.

The Ancestor of the Butterfly Moon's cultivation had already reached the pinnacle of this world, yet before Venerable Lord Lu she behaved like a student; he granted every request, answered every question, and the Dao Resonance transcended, astonishing the world.

Unfortunately, Venerable Lord Lu later vanished from this realm, leaving no trace.

Some say Venerable Lord Lu ascended and departed; some say he is in seclusion, contemplating a higher realm; some say his lifespan was exhausted and he has already dissolved his mortal form and perished…

Opinions diverge.

Thinking of this, Yang Tianming's face flushed with excitement, his body trembling uncontrollably—he never expected to see Venerable Lord Lu's disciples today: "Venerable Lord Lu, he, he has taken disciples!!"

At a glance, Ji Fuyao before him is a heaven-defying monster!

And although Chen Zhangsheng appears unremarkable and ordinary, he surely possesses extraordinary abilities!

I am Yang Tianming; I have paid respects to the two fellow Daoists!

Yang Tianming said excitedly.

Ji Fuyao nodded, "Fellow Daoist Yang Tianming, we have already seen your demeanor just now."

Chen Zhangsheng also nodded, "Impressive, impressive! As expected of the fiancé of Chi Yao Xianzi—I am no match!"

Yang Tianming gave a wry smile, shook his head, and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen Zhangsheng, you're mocking me. I indeed once had some connection with Chi Yao Xianzi, but the gap between us is too great. Chi Yao Xianzi's cultivation surpasses the Dao Lord realm by who knows how many levels; a single thought could kill me. That old emperor insists on pairing us together—I have no idea what he's thinking."

A hint of cunning flashed in Xiao Yue's eyes, "Yang Tianming, tell me the truth—you don't like Chi Yao Xianzi? You should know that Chi Yao Xianzi has countless admirers throughout the Jade Pool Star Domain; it's said her suitors could circle the Jade Pool Star Domain three times!"
