Chapter 142: Making a Decision!

Having been instilled with so much information all at once, Lu Tianyu's mind felt a bit dazed.

He already had enough enemies by his side; if he were to reorganize the Falling Phoenix Sect now, the trouble it would bring would be even greater.

He was not worried about himself, but he was most worried about these weak families in the Donghuang Xing star domain.

But if the facts were truly like this, many things would need to be deliberated at length and carried out rapidly.

Dongfang Shu slowly stood up, his face revealing joy: "The Sect Master is willing to reorganize the Falling Phoenix Sect!"

Seeing that Lu Tianyu did not refuse, he assumed he had agreed.

After all, anyone with a sharp mind would make the choice he described.

Individual strength is extremely insignificant in the Great World Struggle; one must unite all forces that can be united.

Lu Tianyu did not answer directly: "How much longer until the Great World Struggle that you mentioned arrives?"

"If it exists, it wouldn't be something happening in the near future, right?"

He hoped that everything would not come so quickly.

"The Great World Struggle accompanies the beginning of the reshuffling, with at most one hundred years of time."

"The powers capable of swaying the great reshuffle are Great Emperors and those above the Emperor Realm; everyone else is more or less cannon fodder."

Dongfang Shu spoke up immediately: "The Sect Master is different; the Sect Master's aptitude is heaven-defying, cultivating both Spirit and Martial paths, and you have the ability to kill cultivators of higher ranks."

"You are currently at the Heart Movement Stage; if you can advance to the Integration Stage or the Cave Void Stage, you will be able to influence the overall situation!"

"But advancing to the Integration Stage in a hundred years is something ordinary cultivators cannot achieve, so the Sect Master needs special opportunities."

"If the Sect Master wishes to have a place in the Great World Struggle, you must cultivate with all your might to enhance your cultivation, without the slightest bit of slack."

After saying this, he felt he had spoken too heavily: "Forgive me, Sect Master; this is just my personal suggestion, everything is entirely up to the Sect Master to decide."

Lu Tianyu waved his hand: "I understand what you mean."

He took a deep breath: "Since that is the case, then I shall rely on my meager strength to secure a place in this Great World Struggle!"

"In the future, I will still need the support and assistance of you two seniors!"

Just now, the Qian Gu Empress had sent him a voice transmission.

She suggested that the Great World Struggle might arrive ten or twenty years early.

She is a powerhouse at the Immortal Emperor level, and her perception of clear Qi and turbid Qi is more accurate than that of Dongfang Shu and Qing Yuan.

The Qian Gu Empress also said that with the help of the Bahuang Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, Lu Tianyu could advance his cultivation to the Emperor Realm in at most fifty years.

If he encountered continuous fortuitous events, this time could potentially be shortened significantly.

Dongfang Shu was overjoyed upon hearing this, but he bowed and said: "Sect Master, you may call me by my name directly; both I and the Changheng Great Emperor are people of the Falling Phoenix Sect."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Tianyu immediately denied it: "That won't do!"

"Although I am the Sect Master of the Falling Phoenix Sect, my cultivation is too poor; before my cultivation surpasses yours, you must not address me as Sect Master."

"In all things, I must rely on myself; I cannot act by borrowing your names, or my progress will be very slow."

"From now on, you may simply call me Young Master; you must not call me Sect Master."

Dongfang Shu was slightly stunned before smiling: "As expected of the Sect Master of my Falling Phoenix Sect; this mindset will surely lead to great achievements."

"Legend has it that the old Sect Master of my Falling Phoenix Sect has already ascended to the upper realm; there is no one in this realm who is her match."

"Sect Master—no, Young Master Lu—if you possess such a state of mind, you will surely be able to reach the peak of this realm."

From the first moment he saw Lu Tianyu in Liguang City, he felt that this youth was extraordinary.

Now, the more he interacted with him, the more he felt that Lu Tianyu was extraordinary, outstanding in every aspect.

Qing Yuan also stepped forward: "Young Master, you often drift outside; you need a Protector."

"You have already offended many people; these forces might stop at nothing to eliminate you and could strike at you from the shadows at any time."

"In my opinion, you should take Cui Jinjia as your Protector."

She added another sentence: "This woman has a straightforward temperament and a resilient character; presumably, the family behind her is also extraordinary."

"Your entry into the Changheng Academy will absolutely not affect your joining of any sect."

"Many sects will invite you to join in the future; if you do not choose a sect, you will have endless trouble."

Qing Yuan was different from Dongfang Shu.

She said whatever she had to say to Lu Tianyu and never felt embarrassed.

She was a person of such character, and she also liked the character of the golden-armored woman.

Lu Tianyu's eyes lit up: "Good."

"Let us go check on Murong Xue's injuries, and afterward, I will go find Cui Jinjia to discuss it."

He knew what Qing Yuan said; taking the golden-armored woman as a Protector would not be easy.

The golden-armored woman represented the powerful sect behind her; they had their own affairs, so why would they willingly be a Protector for someone with low cultivation?

Dongfang Shu removed the barrier, just as they were about to leave.

Lu Tianyu thought of something: "Senior, why not call Cui Jinjia to come along?"

Qing Yuan immediately said: "I will go call her!"

After speaking, she turned and left immediately, needless to say, to find Cui Jinjia.

Lu Tianyu had just arrived at Donghuang City with Dongfang Shu when Cui Jinjia and Qing Yuan arrived shortly after.

Seeing the new atmosphere of Donghuang City, Lu Tianyu could not help but be slightly surprised.

In the two months he had been away, this place had changed drastically, attracting many merchants from other star domains to settle in.

The entire city of Donghuang City had expanded by more than a third, and the arrays of the entire Donghuang City had been completely overhauled.

It seemed his father had put in a lot of effort, and Liu Jinzi had also put in a lot of effort.

He knew that all of this was due to the influence of Gui Sheng Xie Yi, Liu Jinzi, and Guo Boxiong.

"It's not bad that such a remote place can have a town like this, but the layout is still a bit small," Cui Jinjia said with disdain.

Lu Tianyu chuckled: "If you were born in a place like this, what would you do?"

He looked at Cui Jinjia with a smile.

Cui Jinjia was slightly stunned, not expecting Lu Tianyu to ask such a question: "If I were born here, I would do everything in my power to leave this place and go to the Emperor Star Domain to seek opportunities."

"Even the worst small sect in the Emperor Star Domain is a hundred times stronger than yours here!"

"Now that you have this opportunity, shouldn't you seize it?"

She brought the topic back again.

Lu Tianyu shook his head slightly: "As the saying goes, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix."

"Abandoning your hometown, parents, and roots does not necessarily mean you will achieve success."

"Your achievements are related to your own aptitude, not to where you are; if you go to the Emperor Star Domain, you might die on the road, or die in the Emperor Star Domain."

Cui Jinjia immediately denied this: "That is not necessarily true!"

"Even if I die on the road, I must go! We cultivators struggle against the heavens; for people in a place like yours, opportunities are the most important thing, and the opportunities here are too few."

"I have already said that I will only stay here for one month. After one month, I will leave, and by then you will have lost your chance."

For her, waiting for a month was indeed a very long time.

If it were not for the instructions from above, she would have left immediately as long as Lu Tianyu did not agree.
