Chapter 1316: Exemplary Conduct, Released After Serving Sentence

After briefly communicating with the top scientists in his mind, the Return to Origin Heavenly Venerable and the Bandit Ancestor, Dean Gao felt it necessary to start from scratch in learning cultivation, to clarify the most basic principles first.

"Then shall we return to the Wen Dao Sect?" Lu Yang said, the Wen Dao Sect being equivalent to a small cultivation realm, with foundational cultivation knowledge and the hundred arts of cultivation all quite complete.

"That works too."

After going around in circles, Dean Gao and the assistance team returned once again to the Wen Dao Sect.

Lu Yang brought them to the Buddhist Canon Pavilion and asked Tao Lao of the pavilion to give them lessons.

Tao Lao manages the Buddhist Canon Pavilion, has the books memorized, is erudite, and is at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, making him most suitable for teaching.

The Ether Extension also stayed in the Buddhist Canon Pavilion to learn cultivation knowledge.

Before leaving the Buddhist Canon Pavilion, Lu Yang asked Dean Gao for a pair of the latest quantum communication devices, and Dean Gao was quite puzzled.

"Are you wanting to study this thing?"

Lu Yang laughed and shook his head: "No, I want to produce some of this stuff first to use."

"Produce?" Dean Gao became even more puzzled, not having figured out the principles yet, yet still able to produce?

Lu Yang feared that explaining would only confuse Dean Gao further, so he said nothing more and walked toward Prison Peak.

……

"Little Mo, when you go out later, do not disgrace the name of Great Yu!"

"Little Duan, do not forget the knowledge of our Great Qian teaching, use it well when you go out, and if you fail to make something of yourself, do not come see us!"

"Masters, take care!" Mo Xiaochou and Duan Qingshui wept tearfully.

The two of them, having been caught by Lu Yang stealing things at the Western Heaven Temple and imprisoned on Prison Peak, never imagined before entering Prison Peak that they would one day be reluctant to leave it.

Although the elders of Great Yu and Great Qian usually treated them poorly, they knew it was to make them learn real things.

"Little Mo, although your cultivation is a bit low, we believe in you—you will surely rise as a latecomer and surpass Duan Qingshui!"

"Little Duan, summon your spirit—your cultivation is ahead, do not let that surnamed Mo brat overtake you!"

The cultivators of Great Qian and Great Yu were once outstanding talents; although imprisoned on Prison Peak, their vision was not limited to this small plot of land.

Guan Shanhai proactively suggested that the two factions reduce their fighting, and instead each select a prisoner to teach diligently, to see who fares better after release.

The Central Heaven Emperor and the Life Decree agreed to Guan Shanhai's peace proposal.

Now the two have finally been released from prison—it is the time to display grand ambitions!

Lu Yang arrived at Prison Peak and saw the two factions emotionally sending off Mo Xiaochou and Duan Qingshui, and he was stunned for a moment.

The Child Master explained to Lu Yang that these two had performed well in Prison Peak, reformed themselves, reduced their sentences, and today was the day they completed their sentences and were released.

Lu Yang's expression was somewhat strange; just based on the enthusiasm of the Great Qian and Great Yu factions taking turns teaching these two, even if they called themselves heirs of Great Qian or Great Yu, they would undoubtedly be genuine.

These two going out to make their way might actually achieve something.

"Lu, Lu Yang senior." Mo Xiaochou and Duan Qingshui saw Lu Yang at the prison cell exit, their bodies tense—this was the instinctive reaction from long residence in Prison Peak.

"You've done well, both able to be released early." Lu Yang nodded with hands behind his back, like a senior leader inspecting Prison Peak work, concerned about these two released personnel.

"How long have you lived in Prison Peak? Any feelings about it?"

Mo Xiaochou quickly put on a fawning smile: "Nothing to speak of, just feel that Prison Peak is excellent, Senior Lu Yang, you have gone to great trouble."

"Really?"

Duan Qingshui also nodded vigorously: "Yes, we speak from the heart—our seniors are erudite, their teaching methods flexible and varied, course content rich and practical, truly achieving the integration of theory and practice; if we have the chance, we will come again."

Lu Yang nodded repeatedly as he listened, but at the end he suddenly realized something was wrong: "Huh?"

His voice rose eight degrees.

"Ah no, I mean…… if we have the chance, we will definitely come to visit the seniors."

Lu Yang casually waved his hand, coldly warning: "Alright, all of you go now—if I ever find out you've committed misdeeds again, it won't be as simple as being locked in Prison Peak."

"Yes, yes, when we go out we will certainly abide by the law and live honestly." The two nodded and bowed, then hurriedly left Prison Peak.

Lu Yang walked over to Guan Shanhai with a smiling, narrowed gaze.

"What do you need me to do?" Before Lu Yang could speak, Guan Shanhai proactively asked.

Lu Yang pulled out a pair of quantum communication devices from behind his back: "Can this be copied?"

"What is this?"

Guan Shanhai was astonished—this was something he had never seen before, its craftsmanship quite exquisite, the only strange thing being the absence of a spirit-drawing array, not resembling a treasure.

"An extraterrestrial construct." Lu Yang did not explain further.

No mistake, one error, one shot, one inner, one in, one one look!

"It can be copied." Guan Shanhai nodded, regardless of whether it is a treasure or an extraterrestrial construct, it does not matter—the copying of the Dao fruit represents rules, usable both within and without the domain.

"I need a bit of spiritual energy." Guan Shanhai said, he had no spiritual energy on him, so neither spells nor Dao fruits could be used.

Lu Yang handed him a piece of low-grade spirit stone, which Guan Shanhai touched and absorbed cleanly.

Guan Shanhai held the quantum communication device in one hand and the now-empty spirit stone shell in the other, activating the copying technique.

The spirit stone's structure changed, gradually taking the form of the quantum communication device.

His copying technique and copying Dao fruit cannot create something from nothing; they require material of similar mass as the copying medium.

"Here, take a look."

Lu Yang received the copied quantum communication device, inspected it, found it truly usable, and could not help but feel delighted.

Mass-producing quantum communication devices and other technological products of the Star Alliance definitely cannot rely on Guan Shanhai's copying Dao fruit.

For now, it's just an emergency measure—settle the matter of the Candle Heaven Civilization first, then talk about other things.

Before Guan Shanhai lay a pile of low-grade spirit stones; he needed to copy them all into quantum communication devices—he himself was a production line.

Soon, Lu Yang returned fully loaded, distributing these quantum communication devices to the major factions.

"Immortal Lady, why have you been silent all the way?" Lu Yang wondered, usually the Immortal Lady chattered noisily, which he found annoying; the mental space suddenly fell silent, making him somewhat unaccustomed.

The Immortal Lady lay on the bed hugging a pillow, thinking: "This Immortal is contemplating the future of the cultivation realm."

"The future of the Cultivation Realm?" Lu Yang jumped in shock. This immortal's mind could actually ponder such a grand question.

"This immortal was wondering, did I say during the meeting that there are only a dozen or so half-immortals left in the Cultivation Realm now?"

"Right, what's the problem with that?" Lu Yang said, confused.

The immortal leapt excitedly from the bed, her eyes bright as snow, like two stars.

She waved the pillow, as if it were a banner of freedom: "Doesn't that mean I'm the only immortal left in the Cultivation Realm now?"

"Yun Zhi isn't here, so I can do whatever I want. From now on, I'll be the master of the Cultivation Realm!"

Lu Yang: "..."

Immortal, you might as well not speak—actually, I feel the mental space quieting down is quite nice too.
