Chapter 803: I'll Try

The Mid-Heaven Emperor looked at the place where the dark figure disappeared, frowning and silent. It was a long time before he spoke.

"Eliminating presence—could it be the Causality Dao Fruit?"

As far as he knew, the second Imperial Preceptor of the Great Yu possessed the prototype of the Causality Dao Fruit and could do similar things, with other Half-Immortals unable to discover his whereabouts.

If the dark figure possessed the Causality Dao Fruit, then everything that happened just now made sense.

"Causality Dao Fruit? That is indeed a possibility." Siming nodded, agreeing with the Mid-Heaven Emperor's view. "Eliminating causality allows one to enter and exit any place without being noticed."

"What do you intend to do?" Siming asked. This matter revealed a sense of weirdness, but then again, it was rare to know the clue to the Years Dao Fruit; it would be unreasonable not to try.

The Mid-Heaven Emperor was silent for a moment, pondering, before finally making up his mind.

"I'll try."

"Chuanwu, Qiaoqiao, are you adapting to life here?"

After bringing Tang Chuanwu back to the Congwendao Sect, Lu Yang had either been training his body with fire, participating in the changing winds and clouds of the Great Bean Dynasty, witnessing the rise and fall of the dynasty, or serving as Grand Tutor to improve the Fairy's accuracy in word choice. He hadn't been able to find time to see the Tang siblings.

Lu Yang had arranged for the siblings to stay in a vacant wooden house at the foot of a mountain. The mountains were green, the waters were clear, and the environment was beautiful.

Tang Chuanwu, who was practicing boxing, saw the long-lost Master Lu appear. He wiped his sweat with a towel, his expression excited.

"Many thanks to Master Lu for bringing my little sister and me here. We are very well adapted!"

"The masters here are all very friendly; they often help us and even guide me in my boxing techniques."

Tang Chuanwu's boxing techniques had improved, and if placed in the outside world, he could be called a martial arts grandmaster.

He hadn't expected the masters of the Congwendao Sect to be so approachable. They were neither as unfathomable as the monks of the Kaihuang Temple, speaking in Zen riddles, nor were they like the cultivators he usually saw, who were high and mighty and looked down on everyone.

Even any random master from the Congwendao Sect might be stronger than Master Duanchen.

And the strongest among them was undoubtedly Master Lu.

Tang Chuanwu had heard the Congwendao Sect masters talk about Master Lu's legendary experiences and yearned for them. For example, when he was at the Foundation Establishment stage, he challenged someone above his level, defeated a Spirit Transformation stage cultivator, and set an unprecedented record that no genius throughout history had been able to achieve.

Or for another example, Master Lu had made outstanding contributions to the sect. He served as the acting Sect Master of the Congwendao Sect for one day. After his term ended, Master Lu stood on the ring, accepting challenges from the masters one after another, and remained standing throughout.

Master Lu's culinary skills were also quite remarkable. He cooked for the Wuxing Sect Sect Master, Qiu Jinan, and after tasting it, Qiu Jinan was so excited he slapped the table, asking Master Lu how the dish was made...

High cultivation, great talent, strong culinary skills—Master Lu in reality was even more outstanding than described in the storytelling books.

"Master Lu is here?"

Hearing the commotion outside the house, Tang Qiaoqiao ran out holding a spatula.

Although no one had explicitly told her why they had to come to the Congwendao Sect, she had more or less guessed from her brother's and Master Lu's words that an unknown change had occurred in her brother, and bringing him to the Congwendao Sect was to protect him.

"How is life here, Qiaoqiao?"

"Life is very good!"

Tang Qiaoqiao nodded vigorously. For ordinary people, this was a holy land they couldn't ask for. Her brother was here, so what else could she be dissatisfied with?

And since her brother arrived here, he was no longer always suspicious.

"As long as you are used to living here."

"You have three spiritual roots, which is enough to meet the threshold for joining our sect. If you can pass the entrance test, you can officially become a member of the sect."

Although Tang Qiaoqiao was a clone cultivated by the Left Protector of the Skull God Sect, if she practiced, her progress would be much faster than ordinary cultivators. However, this identity didn't rank high in the Congwendao Sect; anyone you found had a more outrageous background than Tang Qiaoqiao, so no one would care about this layer of her identity.

"As for you, Chuanwu..."

Seeing Master Lu mention him, Tang Chuanwu's expression dimmed. After arriving at the Congwendao Sect, he tested his spiritual roots, and the result was that he had no spiritual roots and could not practice.

Seeing Tang Chuanwu like this, how could Lu Yang not know what he was worried about? He laughed: "Leave the matter of practice to me. I will find you some elixirs and spiritual objects, which will be enough to cultivate spiritual roots."

Cultivators could use some means to implant spiritual roots for mortals, but the price was high, far beyond what low-tier cultivators could afford.

"Really?" Tang Chuanwu raised his head abruptly, his eyes bright.

"Naturally, it is true. When have I ever lied to you?"

"However, you are not allowed to use your abilities when you take the entrance test," Lu Yang warned. If he turned back time twice, Tang Chuanwu would definitely be able to pass whatever entrance test the sect set up; that would be cheating.

"I won't!"

"Someone is coming to our sect. They don't come with good intentions," the Decayed Fairy suddenly reminded, pointing upward, signaling Lu Yang to look at the sky.

"Who is it?"

Lu Yang was puzzled. *Who is tired of living and dares to come to the Congwendao Sect to cause trouble? Even if they come, they should pick a time when the Eldest Senior Sister is not around. *

Lu Yang looked up at the sky in the direction the Fairy pointed, just in time to see an Emperor's shadow bathed in golden light appear abruptly above the Congwendao Sect, emitting boundless pressure, causing the entire Congwendao Sect to fall into a terrifying quagmire.

"Mid-Heaven Emperor?!"

Lu Yang recognized the visitor. Although the Mid-Heaven Emperor's portrait had not been passed down to later generations, the Ying Tian Immortal had seen it, and Lu Yang knew what the Mid-Heaven Emperor looked like from the Ying Tian Immortal's description.

The Mid-Heaven Emperor was worthy of being the founder of the Great Qian Dynasty; he was awe-inspiring without being angry, and his every move revealed imperial majesty. In the face of imperial majesty, the world could only tremble, unable to generate any heart to resist, only to worship. Lu Yang had only seen a similar feeling in the Ying Tian Immortal.

"Why would the Mid-Heaven Emperor come here for no reason? And with such great fanfare?"

The Mid-Heaven Emperor held a gourd wrapped in purple and gold colors, pulled out the gourd stopper, aimed it at the Congwendao Sect, and recited loudly:

"Tang..."

Just as he recited the word "Tang," a white stream of light flashed from the peak of Tianmen Peak, shooting straight into the sky. Accompanied by a clanging sound, in the blink of an eye, it clamped onto the Mid-Heaven Emperor's head and smashed it downward. The Mid-Heaven Emperor didn't even have time to react.

Boom—

Then it became quiet, as if nothing had happened just now.

Tang Qiaoqiao blinked, not understanding what had happened just now.

"Ah, the pot is going to burn."

She held her spatula and hurried back to the kitchen.

Unknown land, Great Qian Immortal Palace.

The Mid-Heaven Emperor coughed lightly twice, opened his eyes, and disconnected from the clone.

Seeing this, Siming hurriedly asked: "How was it?"

The Mid-Heaven Emperor turned his head to look at Siming. His eyes revealed majesty as always, the look only someone who had long been in a high position would have. After a long silence, he spoke slowly:

"Tried it, couldn't beat them."

"Also, I thought about it. I was a bit anxious about searching for the Years Dao Fruit before, and there is no need to search for the Years Dao Fruit so hurriedly." ===== CHAPTER 804 =====
