Chapter 731: Unexpected Acquaintance

The teacher opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but he couldn't say the words that came to his lips.

It seemed that what Lu Yang said also made sense.

"Then how do you explain the Heaven-Opening Axe? The Ying Tian Immortal couldn't have used an axe to split a road for the sky, shouting 'This sky was opened by me,' and also charged a toll, naming the axe the Heaven-Opening Axe!"

The teacher remembered the origin of the Heaven-Opening Axe. No ancient book recorded why the Ying Tian Immortal named the immortal axe the Heaven-Opening Axe. This was a mystery that troubled their ancient history scholars, and the naming was controversial.

Some said the Ying Tian Immortal once used the immortal axe to split the sky, separate chaos, divide yin and yang; some said that when the immortal axe was refined, there was a vision of opening the sky, with all spirits worshiping; and others said the Ying Tian Immortal held this axe and could re-refine the world, evolving earth, fire, wind, and thunder... Ancient historians argued endlessly about this, and there had never been a conclusion. All were guesses, without evidence.

"Because the Ying Tian Immortal felt this name was very cool. What reason is needed for this?" The Immortal Fairy looked at the teacher in confusion.

Although she always felt that moves and magic treasures didn't need to have flashy names, and simple ones were quite good, like Feigning Death Technique, Fairy Fist Technique, etc., the Ying Tian Immortal always felt that the names of moves and magic treasures had to be cool, such as Heaven-Opening Axe, Chaos Furnace, Universe Bell.

"Ridiculous, what kind of person is the Ying Tian Immortal? Naming must have deep meaning!" The teacher obviously didn't believe the Immortal Fairy's statement; it was simply absurd.

"For example, the legendary Chaos Furnace, clearly recorded in ancient books, the Ying Tian Immortal once used this furnace to refine chaos, hence the name Chaos Furnace!"

"You're talking about the Chaos Furnace? That's because this fairy..." The Immortal Fairy subconsciously exposed her identity. Feeling it was inappropriate halfway through, she changed her words temporarily, "That's because the Ying Tian Immortal used the furnace to cook a piece of chaos, so he named it Chaos Furnace."

Chaos, one of the four ancient evils, as famous as Qiongqi.

The Immortal Fairy still missed the Chaos Furnace quite a bit. When cooking, not using the Chaos Furnace always made her feel like something was missing.

The teacher hesitated for a moment and didn't refute. He suddenly remembered that the Ying Tian Immortal seemed to have written a "Complete Collection of Cooking," which mentioned how to cook chaos. It seemed to make sense.

Could it be that the Ying Tian Immortal's naming level was really that low?

"Lu Yang, since you claim to have some understanding of ancient history, dare you come to my Imperial Academy for an academic discussion?"

The teacher's name was Ye Gu, not a member of the Meng family, but a history scholar at the Imperial Academy. He came to the Meng family to be a private tutor simply because the Meng family paid a lot.

"Now?"

"Now!" Ye Gu was hit by the Immortal Fairy one after another and wanted to go to the Imperial Academy to seek help.

As soon as these words came out, the Meng family disciples below cheered.

The teacher returning to the Imperial Academy meant there was no class today.

Ye Gu glared at these little brats, had people distribute the printed test papers, and suddenly there was a wail.

The Xia Di didn't enter the private school. He waited outside, and then saw Lu Yang walk out.

"Where is this going?"

"Going to the Imperial Academy. This person thinks my ancient history is quite good and asked me to go to the Imperial Academy to give a lecture." The Immortal Fairy said happily.

The Xia Di's eyes were strange. The Imperial Academy was full of old pedants with smelly and hard tempers. Could they invite Lu Yang to give a lecture?

"I'm asking you to come to my Imperial Academy for an academic discussion!" Ye Gu corrected.

"Aggressive method, I understand it all." The Immortal Fairy saw through Ye Gu's non-existent little thoughts at a glance.

As Lu Yang's follower, the Xia Di naturally followed to the Imperial Academy.

The Imperial Academy was a famous institution of higher learning in the Great Xia, but what was studied here was not cultivation, but history. Most of the historical information about the Great Qian and Great Yu was the research result of the Imperial Academy.

And the most mysterious and legendary ancient history was also within the research scope of the Imperial Academy.

Along the way, the Immortal Fairy saw many disheveled scholars arguing with each other, each holding their own views, and no one would give in.

"This 'Complete Collection of Cooking' clearly records that cooking should be in seconds. How can this be wrong!"

"Loan word, this must be a loan word!"

"What loan word, it must be that the Ying Tian Immortal likes salt. Don't you see that after the Ying Tian Immortal defeats a strong enemy, he will always say from a high position, 'The salt I have eaten is more than the road I have walked,' this is ironclad evidence!"

Three scholars argued, and they were about to make a move if they didn't agree.

In the mental space, Lu Yang watched all this silently, feeling that the Ying Tian Immortal's reputation might be difficult to restore.

Lu Yang saw another group of scholars discussing.

"According to my analysis, the Ying Tian Immortal's Dao Fruit is likely related to the Heavenly Tribulation."

"Indeed possible... what did you just say?"

"I said the Ying Tian Immortal... right, what did I just say?"

The two scholars looked at each other, and neither could remember what had just happened.

Ye Gu took Lu Yang and the Xia Di to a simple thatched cottage in the depths of the Imperial Academy.

In the thatched cottage, an old man with gray hair was discussing something with someone, and when he talked to the point of excitement, he was beaming.

The gray-haired old man was Qi Xiuya, the Dean of the Imperial Academy, who was well-known, proficient in ancient and modern history, and had no equal in historical attainments. The outside world respectfully called him "Dean Qi" or "Old Qi." He rarely appeared in the outside world and lived a life of isolation. Even the popular Lu Yang had never heard of him.

It could even be said that he had no enmity with Daoist Wuyu, which showed how isolated he was.

The person sitting opposite him had his back to the door, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.

Seeing Ye Gu enter the door, Qi Xiuya was a bit surprised and asked with a smile.

"Little Gu, at this time you should be teaching in the Meng family, why did you come here?"

"Teacher, when the disciple was giving a lecture in the Meng family, we discussed the origin of the Mountain-Opening Axe. This fellow Daoist named Lu Yang gave another possibility for the origin of the Mountain-Opening Axe."

Ye Gu repeated what the Immortal Fairy said, and Qi Xiuya stroked his long white beard and remained silent.

"This is an interesting point of view, but there is no evidence, right."

Qi Xiuya also didn't know whether what the Immortal Fairy said was right or wrong, so he had to ask the person sitting opposite him for help.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, what do you think?"

Qi Xiuya solemnly introduced the person opposite him: "Let me introduce you, this is a fellow Daoist I just made. She doesn't look old, but she has unique insights into ancient history. In just half a day of conversation, she has taught me a lot."

The person called Fellow Daoist Jin lowered her head and thought: "I have indeed heard that in the early years, when the Ying Tian Immortal had not yet made his fortune, his cultivation resources were insufficient, so he collected tolls. At that time, he did use the Mountain-Opening Axe, and kept muttering 'This mountain was opened by me...' or something."

"Strange, people now shouldn't know about this kind of thing."

Fellow Daoist Jin stood up and faced Lu Yang, her eyes slightly surprised.

Lu Yang didn't recognize Fellow Daoist Jin, but the Immortal Fairy recognized her.
