Chapter 185: 【Fellow Daoist is Generous, Word Follows Law】 (Second update, begging for votes)
Lu Runping had accepted this disciple, which also meant there was a certain room for easing relations with the Jiuyu Immortal Dynasty.
Immortal Puzheng took the opportunity to propose holding a small-scale apprenticeship ceremony, letting the Land Immortals of the Twelve Immortal Dynasties come to observe the ceremony, and by the way, discuss the upcoming war issues.
As everyone knows, the "by the way" matters are actually the most important.
Of course, this is for the Land Immortals of the Beizheng Sizhou; for Lu Runping, it was just a small matter.
The Jiuyu Emperor prepared the venue and ceremony, and Immortal Puzheng went to distribute invitations to the other Land Immortals.
While Lu Runping and Yu Qiongxiao came to the place where she usually cultivated.
The two sat opposite each other, and Lu Runping spoke:
"How much of your memory is left?"
Yu Qiongxiao replied upon hearing this:
"This disciple cultivated in the Congyuan World for 1,742 years, ascended to the Earth Immortal World, and cultivated for another 4,393 years, failed when crossing the Third-Turn Heavenly Tribulation, and reincarnated here.
The memories of the lower realm are all preserved, but the memories after ascending, only half are remembered; the insights of the Mysterious Immortal realm are all lost, and the True Immortal realm Dao fruit has barely stepped into the Upper Cave True Immortal level."
At this time, she had already determined that Lu Runping was a reincarnated Golden Immortal, so she answered all his questions, without missing a word.
The kind without any reservation.
Lu Runping nodded slightly and smiled:
"That is also fine; starting over once is your fate. Do not change your name; in the future, still be called Yu Qiongxiao. Below, tell me your cultivation insights, let me see which direction you are suitable to develop in."
Yu Qiongxiao was overjoyed upon hearing this, and immediately began to speak about her Small Self Dao, the insights from ascending to become a True Immortal and achieving the Upper Cave True Immortal level.
All of this, Lu Runping naturally could not digest immediately, so he had been using the Treasure Mirror to record it.
As long as it is recorded, relying on the 【Reviewing the Old to Learn the New】 supernatural power, mastering these contents is only a matter of time; with his current level, this time shouldn't be too long either.
Yu Qiongxiao had many insights, so she only spoke about a portion before it was time for the apprenticeship ceremony to begin.
The Twelve Immortal Dynasties each sent at least one Land Immortal to observe the ceremony, including the Guyou Immortal Dynasty.
Lu Runping appeared, and everyone sensed a flickering and uncertain aura.
With the divine sense perception of their Land Immortal realm, they actually couldn't discover Lu Runping's location, which was enough to show that the other party's cultivation was very deep, far exceeding their perception.
There weren't many people to begin with, and after the simple ceremony was finished, the next matters for everyone were the main ones.
The meditation cushions were placed, and the group of Land Immortals sat down.
Immortal Chirao of the Guyou Immortal Dynasty directly stated the question everyone wanted to know.
"May I ask Fellow Daoist, the Lu Family Immortal Clan has come to the Beizheng Sizhou; what will happen?"
Lu Runping spoke:
"The Lu Family Immortal Clan will develop toward the Nine Provinces; coming to the Beizheng Sizhou is a coincidence, and we will establish a branch here. The Lu Family Immortal Clan needs a piece of land and some population.
The Guyou Immortal Dynasty launched a war and has now lost many people; the Lu Family Immortal Clan will obtain one-tenth of the land and population to help manage it. Fellow Daoist, what do you think?"
Lu Runping didn't hide anything either; with his strength, he could have directly come to the door to grab it, but now he was still discussing this matter with them, which was giving them face.
Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Runping is a person who speaks reason.
Hearing the conditions Lu Runping offered, Immortal Chirao heaved a sigh of relief.
One-tenth is not much; at this time, half of the Guyou Immortal Dynasty's land and population had already fallen to the Allied Army of the Donghua Zhenzhou; as long as they only wanted one-tenth and the Lu Family Immortal Clan withdrew from the war, this was clearly a great thing.
"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist, for your generosity!"
Ceding land and population, and still having to thank the other party—there is no way around it; whoever has the harder fist should occupy more; this is the natural law, and it is the same in any world.
Lu Runping's answer made everyone present heave a sigh of relief.
From a certain level, at this time, the Lu Family Immortal Clan is equivalent to the weather vane of the Donghua Zhenzhou; as long as they stop here, those Immortal Sects of the Donghua Zhenzhou will only occupy the existing benefits and will not continue to attack.
After all, fighting until now, both the Donghua Zhenzhou and the Beizheng Sizhou are already exhausted, without enough manpower to continue maintaining the war.
Things were as everyone expected; Lu Guanfei ordered the Lu Family Immortal Clan to stop the war and start the construction of the Lu Family branch, while the other Immortal Sects did not continue to attack, but instead divided up half of the Guyou Immortal Dynasty's land they had occupied.
Each Immortal Sect obtained a portion of land and established branches in the Beizheng Sizhou.
This war, which affected the two continents, finally stopped because of Lu Runping's one sentence.
What is called the trend of the times?
When you alone can influence everyone, your words are the trend of the times, and such is destiny!
If one were to speak of the greatest gain of this war for the cultivators of the two continents, it is that huge teleportation array group.
Previously, because the gains and inputs of building such teleportation arrays were not proportional, the attraction was not enough, so there was little interaction between the major continents.
But after this war, a perfect teleportation system was built, and it has been running smoothly for so long.
Because the various Immortal Sects have branches here, a large amount of trade behavior will inevitably be generated, so the gains of the teleportation array are completely sufficient to maintain its operation.
From then on, interaction between the Donghua Zhenzhou and the Beizheng Sizhou began.
Although for mortals, let alone the two continents, even the distance between two prefectures is already very far, but for these cultivators, going to a brand-new environment means new opportunities.
Hence, some cultivators, after the situation stabilized, acted immediately, starting to inquire about news from both places, hoping to obtain their first pot of gold through the difference in information and resources.
Lu Runping naturally does not pay attention to these changes.
After reaching an agreement with the Twelve Immortal Dynasties and letting the Lu Family Immortal Clan complete its stationing in the Beizheng Sizhou, he took Yu Qiongxiao back to the Lu Family Immortal Clan.
Regarding Yu Qiongxiao's identity, only the three Land Immortals in the Lu Family Immortal Clan could know.
Those who knew only knew about her being Lu Runping's disciple; the rest was unknown.
Yu Qiongxiao entered the Lu Family Immortal Clan to cultivate, and Lu Runping didn't teach her anything; instead, he first obtained all her insights from her.
Regarding this, Yu Qiongxiao only thought that Lu Runping wanted to understand her Dao more comprehensively, so as to help her cultivate.
So she had no suspicions.
Lu Runping also indeed had relatively profound insights into her Dao.
Yu Qiongxiao's Small Self Dao does not cultivate Five Elements attributes, nor Yin and Yang changes, but a special Dao named 'Authority'.
It emphasizes "words containing heavenly law," suppressing people with influence, domineering and powerful.
But this Dao is very difficult to cultivate; after all, it is acting on behalf of heaven to enforce the law, and if one is not careful, one will be backlashed.
Yu Qiongxiao crossed the tribulation relying on this Dao, which was originally using the Heavenly Dao to balance the Heavenly Dao; a slight gap would result in being smashed to pieces.
There was simply no room for easing.
For others, the process of crossing the tribulation does not just rely on one's own strength, but also includes luck, methods, and other levels of things.
And for Yu Qiongxiao, if her trend could not withstand the trend of the Heavenly Tribulation, then it was death.
When cultivating in the lower realm, she, as a commoner, became a generation of empress, using authority to the extreme, and finally ascended to become a True Immortal.
But in the Earth Immortal World, there was no country for her to rule, and cultivating this Dao was difficult.
That she could cultivate to the Mysterious Immortal realm was already very rare.
It can be seen that she has relatively high comprehension in this Dao; simply put, she is a born Emperor.
Regarding this Dao, Lu Runping was originally equivalent to knowing nothing.
But after absorbing Yu Qiongxiao's insights, he gained a lot.
Especially, among the supernatural powers he obtained some time ago, there was one very suitable for this Great Dao.
【Word Follows Law】: Thinking of this, the Dao method is naturally formed; once a word is spoken, the true law follows.
This is the highest realm of "words containing heavenly law," the ultimate combination of the Dao of Creation and the Dao of Causality.
If it could be said that before meeting Yu Qiongxiao, Lu Runping only had a half-understanding of this supernatural power, and could even be said not to have even entered the door.
Then after listening to Yu Qiongxiao's Great Dao, Lu Runping had a preliminary understanding of this supernatural power.
Regarding the power of this supernatural power, he also had a relatively clear cognition.
Lu Runping said to Yu Qiongxiao:
"You should cultivate well; before you step into the Dao Harmonizing realm, Master will pass you the true law."
Hearing such words, Yu Qiongxiao was very happy; having an accurate goal, next she just needed to work hard.
For her, cultivation is restoring strength, but this body has not truly grown up yet, so she cannot be impatient for success.
Reincarnation and rebirth, grasping the foundation is very important, because she does not lack the experience of ascending to the peak, so accumulating foundation, and going all out, can she reach a new height in this chance of starting over.
She thought that Lu Runping meant this.
Letting her lay a good foundation, and when it is time to comprehend her own Great Dao, then pass her the true law, letting her directly obtain huge insights and step into a new height.
Little did she know, Lu Runping just felt that he had nothing to say now, and directly teaching supernatural powers would make his status seem very low.
He had to give some guidance on Great Dao cultivation to show the role of a Master.
Therefore, he needed time to comprehend the insights about the 'Authority' Dao obtained from Yu Qiongxiao's mouth, combined with the 【Word Follows Law】 supernatural power, and use the 【Reviewing the Old to Learn the New】 supernatural power to help himself achieve something in this aspect.
The most important thing is to understand the 【Word Follows Law】 supernatural power more profoundly; having the insights of an Upper Cave True Immortal as a foundation, the power of this supernatural power is enough to give him the ability to wipe out a True Immortal.
Both master and disciple were very satisfied and went to cultivate separately.
The Lu Family Immortal Clan continued to develop as usual, without any waves.
But I don't know who spread Lu Runping's remarks in the Jiuyu Immortal Dynasty to the Nanshan Yuzhou, causing people from the Four Great Immortal Dynasties and Seven Great Immortal Sects to have some bad ideas.
Lu Runping said at the time that he would let the Lu Family Immortal Clan spread throughout the Nine Provinces, and the Beizheng Sizhou had already established a branch; the next one, everyone naturally thought, would be the Nanshan Yuzhou.
And the situation here was already tense; hearing now that there were outsiders coming to stir up trouble was like sparks falling into a gunpowder barrel, and it exploded directly. ===== CHAPTER 186 =====
