Chapter 470
Great Xia Imperial Palace.
The Xia Di and the Sect Masters of the four great immortal sects were restless, not knowing whether to sit or stand. Having held meetings so many times, this was the first time they had encountered such a situation.
Lu Yang sat in the position of the Congwendao Sect Master, and Miss Yun Zhi stood behind Lu Yang, looking like a subordinate.
Miss Yun Zhi was standing, so who dared to sit?
The Immortal Fairy dared.
After all, the invitation was for the Congwendao Sect Acting Sect Master to attend the meeting, and the Immortal Fairy was the Acting Sect Master.
She was the head of the five ancient immortals; what was wrong with sitting here?
Not to mention sitting here, even sitting on the imperial throne would be normal.
Lu Yang, who was staying in the spiritual space, did not have as big a heart as the Immortal Fairy.
As the largest and most prosperous city in the Central Continent and the hub of power, the Imperial Capital had always made countless cultivators flock to it.
Lu Yang was no exception. He had been thinking about the Imperial Capital and really wanted to walk around it to see different cultivation scenery.
It was just that he didn't expect to come so soon.
Originally, he thought he would enter the Imperial Capital low-key, his unintentional actions would make him passively enter a conspiracy, and after solving the conspiracy, he would find himself in the vortex of political struggle, fighting for power, fighting for the imperial throne, etc., while he would be left and right, using his wisdom to protect himself in the vortex, and finally his deeds would shock the Xia Di.
He would go to court to see the Emperor, the enemy would chatter on, saying how he had intentions of rebellion, slandering him, the Xia Di would wave his hand, look at the enemy meaningfully, and say that he was Daoist Bu Yu's disciple and absolutely could not rebel. The enemy would be shocked, the officials would be shocked, and the cultivators of the Imperial Capital would be shocked.
He would naturally become famous.
This was the normal process.
He didn't expect to skip the process directly and come to the imperial palace to see the Xia Di.
"Daoist Yun, please sit." The Xia Di smiled apologetically.
Miss Yun Zhi shook her head and refused: "I am now just an ordinary disciple of the Congwendao Sect; how can I have the qualifications to sit? This Sect Master Lu is our Congwendao Sect's Acting Sect Master."
Xia Di: "..."
What a good ordinary disciple of the Congwendao Sect.
"Is this Sect Master Lu the Lu Yang mentioned in the meeting half a month ago?" The Xia Di asked knowingly. Half a month ago, it was just mentioned that the Heavenly Court Sect was established by someone named Lu Yang, and he was a very outstanding young talent.
He didn't expect that half a month later, the young talent would have mixed to the point of being on equal footing with him.
Lu Yang secretly observed the Xia Di in the spiritual space. This human emperor and leader of the righteous path did not have the murderous aura and decisiveness in killing as rumored, nor did he have the scholarly aura of a scholar. His temples were gray, and his cheeks were slightly sunken, which was a manifestation of insufficient blood and energy.
If one didn't know his identity, no one would see that this Xia Di was called the Emperor of All Ages.
Perhaps the previous Xia Di had both murderous and scholarly auras, but now, after the loss of his lifespan, he was no longer as brilliant as before.
"You know the Xia Di, and you also know Sect Master Qiu." Before the meeting, Senior Sister introduced Lu Yang and, incidentally, introduced the Immortal Fairy.
"This is Fellow Daoist Luo Hongxia, the Palace Master of the Yuegui Immortal Palace, Lan Ting's master. She previously brought Lan Ting to propose marriage."
Luo Hongxia's eyelids twitched. She really wasn't there to propose marriage last time.
She saw that Lu Yang looked clean and white. This brat was the Lu Yang that Lan Ting was thinking about, and he didn't look as good as Lan Ting described.
Thinking of how Lan Ting described how powerful Lu Yang was with great excitement after returning from the Qingzhou Ceremony, she became angry.
She snorted coldly and didn't give Lu Yang a good look.
"Your face looks so ugly. Did you eat something wrong?"
"This is the Sect Master of the Zhenyu Sect, Yang Ding."
"Good." Yang Ding had no hostility toward Lu Yang.
Although Lu Yang was Daoist Bu Yu's disciple, he was also Miss Yun Zhi's junior brother, so the positive and negative canceled out, and there was no hostility.
"This is Master Jiesha of Xuankong Temple, who is currently practicing the closed-mouth Zen." Senior Sister introduced the only Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator in the room.
Master Jiesha's body was withered, and the kasaya passed down from generation to generation in Xuankong Temple looked loose on him. His eyelids drooped, his hands held Buddhist beads, and he nodded without speaking.
The Immortal Fairy was slightly surprised. It was her first time seeing a high monk of Buddhism. She didn't expect that the Buddhism they, the five immortals, had made up would actually allow later generations to cultivate some things, and even innovate on this basis.
The wisdom of later generations was truly not to be underestimated; it was not inferior to hers.
The Immortal Fairy frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yang asked.
"Someone is peeping here; it should be the owner of the national destiny power." The Immortal Fairy's anti-reconnaissance awareness was very strong; after all, she was someone who could track the five ancient immortals.
Lu Yang understood. It should be an immortal from the imperial court side who was paying attention here, which was very normal.
Just as the Xia Di was about to speak, Senior Sister took the lead and said: "After I returned to the sect, I visited many seniors, one of whom was knowledgeable and pointed out a method that can break through the lifespan limit and extend life."
"What method is it?" The others had not found a method to help the Xia Di solve his predicament after returning to their sects.
"In ancient times, there was a heaven and earth spiritual root, which was a peach tree. Eating peaches can extend life. It's just that this heaven and earth spiritual root can run, and now I don't know where it has run to."
"There is such a thing?!" The others were moved. None of them had heard of the heaven and earth spiritual root, and the Congwendao Sect's foundation was truly terrifying.
"I will send people to look for it." The Xia Di was the first to stabilize his mind. Being anxious about this matter was useless; whether it could be found depended on fate.
He mentioned another important matter: "The Great Yu cultivators' plot in Jizhou has been exposed. Your sect's Daoist Bu Yu discovered Great Yu's plot first, and to save the common people, he entered the trap with his own body, opened the sky with a sword, broke the rule of the Great Yu Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator, fought with the Great Yu Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator, fought with wisdom and courage with the other party, sent a signal, held on until Palace Master Chen Tao and the immortal sects arrived, and finally helped Palace Master Chen Tao capture the Great Yu Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator."
"This move drew a round of cheers. Palace Master Chen Tao and the immortal sect elders praised Daoist Bu Yu's behavior and admired him extremely, wanting to commend him. Daoist Bu Yu left behind his merits and fame, retired after success, and everyone couldn't find him after searching several times."
The people present had strange expressions. They had all heard the elders report on the Dingxin City incident in Jizhou, and this seemed to be somewhat different from what the elders reported?
"Who wrote this report?" Qiu Jinan asked suspiciously. Had a Congwendao Sect spy infiltrated the imperial court?
This was blowing Daoist Bu Yu to the sky.
The Xia Di said with a gloomy face: "The folk storytelling 'The Legend of the Congwendao Sect'."
Qiu Jinan: "..."
Everyone looked at Lu Yang and Miss Yun Zhi in unison. The meaning was very obvious: Daoist Bu Yu is your person, making rumors and causing trouble all day long. Tell us what to do?
How intelligent the Immortal Fairy was. Facing this situation, she brought out Miss Yun Zhi's rhetoric: "This Acting Sect Master was appointed by the Sect Master; I can't control the Sect Master."
"So?"
"So I can write a letter suggesting that the Sect Master abdicate and let me be the Sect Master, so that I can control him."
The second update is at eleven o'clock.
