Chapter 469
Lu Yang was pretending to be the Decayed Fairy's golden finger, exercising the power of the Acting Sect Master to plan the content of the sect celebration.
After all, he couldn't just call everyone over to eat and drink, have the Fairy read an opening and closing statement, and call it a day.
This 120,000th-anniversary celebration would be too dull; not to mention passing Senior Sister's test, even Lu Yang couldn't bear to look at it.
It could only pass the Decayed Fairy's test.
"It's a celebration; everyone should just have fun together. Why make it so complicated?"
The Decayed Fairy spoke from experience, suggesting that Lu Yang discard the dross of later generations where celebrations had to be complicated: "Our ancient immortal gatherings weren't as complicated as yours. When I wanted to cook, the Qilin Immortal and the others would say, 'Don't tire yourself out, don't do it.'"
The so-called ancient immortal gatherings were just the Decayed Fairy using her personal charm to gather the other four unlucky fellows together, sometimes with the Qilin Immortal's two wives.
"Then what did you do at the gatherings?"
"Exchange cultivation insights. You know, there were only five of us immortals in the world at that time, and it was very difficult to find like-minded people to communicate with, so everyone cherished every gathering very much."
"During the gatherings, everyone spoke freely, studied the wonders of the Dao fruit, and collisions of thought easily produced new ideas, or left tests for later generations."
Lu Yang nodded. This time it sounded like the real thing, like the immortals in his impression, discussing the immortal Dao and testing later generations.
"Specifically?"
"Specifically, I was researching how to make self-detonation the most powerful."
"Ying Tian Immortal asked everyone if they could think of some tricky tribulations."
"Suiyue Immortal said he had researched a new use for the Time Dao fruit. He set up a mysterious space where the flow of time was different from the outside world; cultivating for one day in the space was equivalent to one year passing outside."
Lu Yang: "..."
You guys should stop wreaking havoc on the world.
"Otherwise, it was writing stories, like the Heavenly Court, the Buddhist Sect, etc. Don't underestimate these stories; they were all carefully written by the five of us. Every story has a thought-provoking principle behind it, which can give later generations ideological enlightenment."
"Ying Tian Immortal said this could also incidentally make it impossible for later generations to study ancient history clearly, so if any of them made a fool of themselves outside, they could cover it up."
Lu Yang felt that Ying Tian Immortal was also a ruthless character. With the help of the Decayed Fairy, who was a drag, in order to maintain his status, he had done quite a few things. He just didn't know if he knew that in the eyes of later generations, he had become an image of a fun-loving man who made countless female cultivators pregnant.
He sympathized with Ying Tian Immortal and hoped that he could sympathize with him, so that when he came to kill him, he could show mercy and spare his life.
"Sometimes we played with planets, throwing them around. Living beings called this a meteor shower and treated it as a miracle, making wishes when they saw us throwing planets."
Lu Yang was a very good listener. He had been listening quietly to the Decayed Fairy recount ancient history, occasionally asking questions, and had been listening for half an hour.
They say history repeats itself, and one can use history as a mirror. He seriously thought about the ancient immortal gathering experiences recounted by the Decayed Fairy, looking for anything worth learning from, and finally reached a conclusion—
He had wasted half an hour.
At this moment, Senior Sister walked into the Cave Heaven. Although her expression was no different from usual, as expressionless as ever, as the Junior Brother, Lu Yang had a 50% success rate in judging Senior Sister's micro-expressions.
He concluded that Senior Sister had something to do when she came in.
Although the Decayed Fairy didn't have Lu Yang's success rate, she also made the same judgment.
After all, she was doing a good job as Acting Sect Master, and Yun girl wouldn't come to the Cave Heaven for no reason.
The Decayed Fairy was very happy to see this scene. She was the Acting Sect Master, and Lu Yang and Yun girl were her left and right hands, helping to handle affairs.
"Senior Sister, is something the matter?" Lu Yang was still controlling his body.
"I just received news that the Xia Di has an idea that needs to be implemented, and he hopes the leaders of the Five Great Immortal Sects will go to the Imperial Palace for a meeting."
Lu Yang and Senior Sister looked at each other for a few seconds, then pointed at himself in disbelief, thinking he had heard wrong: "I go?"
"It's not you going; it's Fairy Senior going." Senior Sister corrected him seriously.
"That's fine... wait, what's the difference!"
"How is there no difference? It's me, the Fairy, going to the meeting, not you!" The Decayed Fairy looked at Lu Yang, pouting, suspecting that this guy had thoughts of usurping the throne!
Lu Yang ignored the Decayed Fairy's shouting.
Although he had a series of identities—Daoist Bu Yu's youngest disciple, Miss Yun Zhi's Junior Brother, the second-in-command of the Decayed lineage, the Decayed Sect's Ancestor, the Heavenly Court Sect's Young Sect Master, the Decayed Fairy's host, the strongest Jin Dan-stage cultivator, the creator of the record for cross-level challenges, etc. —which were all enough to walk sideways in the outside world.
But letting him sit with the Xia Di and the leaders of the Five Great Immortal Sects to discuss major righteous path matters still made him feel guilty.
"I will go with you." Senior Sister finally said a piece of good news.
Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He was just a tiny Jin Dan-stage cultivator; what right did he have to sit with the leaders of the other four Great Immortal Sects? With Senior Sister there to hold the line, the pressure would be much less.
"Let's go."
There was nothing to prepare for the meeting; just go. Senior Sister walked out of the Cave Heaven, looked up at the sky, pinched her thumb and index finger, and a piece of cloud disappeared from the horizon, and an auspicious cloud appeared under her feet.
"Acting Sect Master, please."
Lu Yang was possessed, and the Decayed Fairy unceremoniously used Lu Yang's body to get on the cloud.
The Decayed Fairy stood on the cloud, arms crossed, looking ahead, her expression indifferent.
"Yun girl, let's go."
Whoosh—
The auspicious cloud accelerated suddenly. The Decayed Fairy didn't react in time and couldn't stand steady for a moment, rolling from the front of the cloud to the back, clutching the cloud tightly, with most of her body exposed outside.
It took her a long time to climb back onto the auspicious cloud, looking very disheveled.
"Yun girl, you did that on purpose!" She stared at Miss Yun Zhi, pouting.
Miss Yun Zhi was indifferent: "No, it was an accident."
"It was on purpose!"
"It was an accident."
"On purpose!"
"Accident."
Lu Yang popped up, interrupting the ancient and modern cultivator war that was about to break out: "By the way, Senior Sister, did the Xia Di say what the meeting is about?"
"He said it's to hold a competition for young cultivators to screen those who have scattered their cultivation and are recultivating."
"What?"
The National Teacher looked up at the auspicious cloud flying overhead, his eyes narrowing.
"National Teacher, what's wrong?" the subordinate asked, wanting to do the work for the National Teacher.
"The one riding that auspicious cloud just now was Lu Yang."
The subordinate was shocked: "What?! Then should we take action?"
They had come to the vicinity of the Wendao Sect to study the layout around it, see what method to use to sneak into the Wendao Sect, and step on the spot to make a plan in advance.
He hadn't expected that just after arriving near the Wendao Sect, he would see the target.
The National Teacher shook his head, having his own plans: "Not yet. Killing Lu Yang now would be too easy for him. Wait until the celebration opens, and let him die in full view of everyone!"
He didn't just want to kill Lu Yang; he wanted to destroy the Wendao Sect!
