Chapter 806: Customs

Lu Yang originally wanted to take Yun Mengmeng to visit Tao Yaoye, but before they went up the mountain, they saw the disciples of Wuchen Peak gathered at the foot of the mountain, a lively scene of young women, and Tao Yaoye was among them.

"Junior Sister Tao, what are you all doing at the foot of the mountain?" Lu Yang asked, puzzled.

"Senior Brother Lu, Happy New Year. And Senior Sister Yun, Happy New Year too. It's almost New Year, so we are doing a big cleaning."

"You are all standing at the foot of the mountain for a big cleaning?"

"Of course, it's because Master is there," Tao Yaoye explained with a smile.

Suddenly, a powerful aura burst out from the top of the mountain. This aura continued to expand, bringing up countless dust.

"Look, Master is using her Immaculate Immortal Body to do the big cleaning. Usually, Master suppresses the Immaculate Domain, but now it's New Year and we need to do a big cleaning. Once the Immaculate Domain is opened, won't all the dust be cleaned up?"

"Now the mountain is very clean."

This was the first time Lu Yang had seen the Immaculate Immortal Body used this way; it was too extravagant.

"Convenient, right?"

"Indeed convenient."

"I heard from the senior sisters that every New Year, our Wuchen Peak is the cleanest when it comes to cleaning."

Lu Yang thought to himself, *of course, which other peak has the Sixth Elder cleaning? *

"Come to think of it, it seems no one is cleaning at Tianmen Peak," Lu Yang suddenly remembered. New Year should indeed be a bit more particular.

"Someone is doing the work," the Decayed Fairy said, telling Lu Yang not to have any psychological burden and just have fun. "When we left Tianmen Peak, the Fourth-in-Command took our sect's Sect Master, as well as Master Roast Skewer and others to clean. I don't know if it was voluntary or if Girl Yun ordered it."

The Decayed Sect Sect Master, as well as Master Liu, Master Gao, and others, were all ghosts refined by the Eldest Senior Sister and absolutely obeyed her orders.

"That's good," Lu Yang laughed, putting down one thing, and could celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.

Crackle, crackle, crackle...

How could New Year be without the sound of firecrackers? As New Year's Eve arrived, the festive atmosphere of the Congwendao Sect became even stronger.

Some senior sisters held two strings of firecrackers and spun around, relying on the fact that the firecrackers couldn't explode them, and didn't let go even after the two strings of firecrackers were finished.

Lu Yang hadn't set off firecrackers for a long time either, and seeing this, his hands felt itchy and he wanted to try.

Whoosh—

A shell flew over Lu Yang's head and exploded not far away.

Then came "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," countless shells flew past, some from the left hand, some from the right, sounding a series of explosions.

Lu Yang then discovered that at some point, many senior brothers and junior brothers were standing on both sides. They took out cannons from their storage rings and fired at each other, the explosions deafening.

These shells were of average power, only enough to kill Qi Condensation stage cultivators. They could be fired at will in the Congwendao Sect, and couldn't even break clothes.

Some senior brothers thought the cannons fired too slowly, so they swung their arms and threw the shells to the opposite side, and the opposite side was not to be outdone, countering in the same way.

There were also senior sisters sitting on stools, with countless shells piled under the stools. A spark fell, igniting the pile of shells, directly blowing them into the sky.

Crackle, crackle.

The stools exploded in the sky, like gorgeous fireworks.

"... How is this different from the firecrackers in my impression?" Lu Yang's mouth twitched. This wasn't setting off firecrackers; the Congwendao Sect was almost becoming an arsenal.

"I think it's fine," Yun Mengmeng laughed, firelight reflected in her eyes. "The power is much smaller than my self-detonation."

"Wouldn't it be a big problem if the power was the same as your self-detonation?" Lu Yang whispered.

"Not really," the Decayed Fairy appeared to explain. "When we celebrated the New Year, I often self-detonated a few times to liven up the atmosphere, and later it became a custom."

"The world admires me and wants to imitate my posture, and also wants to make some noise during the New Year, but they can't make as much noise as my self-detonation, so they settled for the next best thing and changed it to setting off firecrackers."

*So self-detonation is the most orthodox way to celebrate the New Year?! *

"That's for sure. You don't look at my influence." The Decayed Fairy stood with her hands on her hips, triumphant.

"I don't think the New Year is very lively. Why don't I just self-detonate once and let you see the tradition?"

"No, no." Lu Yang was startled. If the Fairy self-detonated once, wouldn't the entire Congwendao Sect fly into the sky?

Boom—

Muffled sounds came from the sky, with dragon roars and lion roars.

Lu Yang looked up and found that it was actually the senior brothers and sisters using transformation techniques to turn themselves into dragons and lions, fighting in the air, fighting quite fiercely, with fireworks as a background, the scene was grand and beautiful, enough for the final battle between the protagonist and the villain in the ending of a dream bubble.

"Is dragon and lion dancing like this during the New Year?"

Lu Yang felt more and more that this was completely different from the New Year in his impression.

"Eh, is that also a lion?"

Lu Yang noticed that among a group of dragons and lions, there was a lion that looked different, eight or nine zhang long, with a terrifying appearance, round eyes, red fur all over, like a burning cloud, and a single horn on its head, acting unusually lively in the dragon and lion dance.

To be precise, it was sticking out its tongue and shaking its head, having fun.

The lion-like monster noticed Lu Yang's gaze, suddenly flew down, examined Lu Yang, and spoke human words.

"Can you see me?"

"Who are you?!" Lu Yang was shocked. *Shouldn't I be able to see it? *

"Hmm, isn't this a Year Beast?" The Decayed Fairy recognized the origin of this monster at a glance.

"Year Beast? The monster cultivated by the Years Immortal with the Years Dao Fruit?" Lu Yang remembered. The Decayed Fairy had briefly introduced the Year Beast before, and the Eldest Senior Sister had also said she wanted to catch a Year Beast but didn't catch one.

"Yes, it is the monster created by the Years Immortal, quite magical."

"This is a monster that lives in time. It only appears on New Year's Eve every year, and then jumps through time to the New Year's Eve of the next year, repeating this, so there is the saying of celebrating the 'Year'."

"They like red and like liveliness. Every year when people celebrate the New Year, they hide in the celebration to play. This time, it's probably because our sect's New Year movement is bigger than the folk, attracting one."

"Because their birth is related to the Dao Fruit, only immortals can see them."

"So you are a Year Beast?" Lu Yang figured out the origin of the monster in front of him and was no longer nervous.

"You are an immortal—no, you are only at the Spirit Transformation stage!" The Year Beast was shocked. Only immortals could see them. This mortal was only at the Spirit Transformation stage; how could he see it, and even know about the existence of their Year Beast?

*What is the Second-in-Command doing? *

Yun Mengmeng seemed to notice something, turned her head to look at Lu Yang, and saw Lu Yang talking to something invisible, acting very much like it.

"Is the Second-in-Command so childish? I stopped doing this kind of thing when I was sixteen." ===== CHAPTER 807 =====
