Chapter 866: Touched it up a bit

~9 min read 1,656 words

"Senior Ying Tian, thank you for your hard work." Lu Yang sent the pitch-black ancient ring back to the Laurel Xiangong.

Ying Tian Xian looked at Lu Yang with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, patted the shoulder of this junior he valued highly, and showed a hearty smile, encouraging the junior to cultivate.

"Little Friend Lu's cultivation progress is very fast; you've already reached the late Spirit Transformation stage."

"Little friend, just cultivate. When you break through, I'll cover you; it will be absolutely safe!"

Lu Yang smiled stiffly; Ying Tian Xian's pat made him ache: "Senior Ying Tian, there's no need to take special care of me. When I cultivate, I think that cultivation, after all, cannot take shortcuts."

Ying Tian Xian was extremely surprised, feeling that Lu Yang was being too distant: "What are you saying? Little friend, you are the savior of the Immortal, so it is only right that I take care of you."

"Let's forget it. I'm afraid that if others see it, they will think you are being unfair in your actions, which would damage your reputation."

"For example, I have a very close friend named Meng Jingzhou. Our relationship is very good; we have always shared blessings and faced difficulties together."

"After he heard about your deeds, he admired you very much. Speaking of which, he also has some fate with you. When we found the 'Immortal Quotations' in the Twin River Secret Realm, it wasn't just me who saw the quotations; Meng Jingzhou also read them."

"It's just that these quotations contain the universe, secretly matching the Dao, and were too profound. After Meng Jingzhou read them, he exclaimed, 'I don't understand'."

"I am worried that if he finds out you are treating me differently, it will be detrimental to your image in his heart."

Lu Yang's words were firm, and every word was for the sake of Ying Tian Xian.

"Oh, there's such a thing?" A cold glint flashed in Ying Tian Xian's eyes, and he revealed a gentle smile.

"Little Friend Lu, don't worry. I have always been fair in my actions, and I will definitely treat you two brothers equally."

"With your words, I can rest assured."

Lu Yang could be considered to have made it big with this connection to Ying Tian Xian. In the future, he wouldn't have to worry about his tribulation being too easy. After making it big, Lu Yang didn't forget his promise to Meng Jingzhou; he had to put in a few good words in front of Ying Tian Xian, pulling him along if he could.

When Guiyuan Tianzun returned to the sect, Lu Yang immediately found him and was shocked to see his injuries.

"Grandmaster, these injuries of yours..."

Guiyuan Tianzun's face was covered in blue and purple bruises, which looked like he had experienced a one-sided fierce battle.

Guiyuan Tianzun waved his hand: "Don't mention it. Meng Junzi, that bastard, really has some tricks after becoming an immortal. It's just different from before he became an immortal; he's much harder to deal with than before he became an immortal. I really couldn't beat him."

Lu Yang's mouth twitched. It would be a ghost story if he could beat him; he had never heard of a semi-immortal being able to defeat an immortal.

"Little Lu, you just said you wanted to hear me talk about the Wendao Sect ten thousand years ago?"

"Yes, we now have a propaganda method called a newspaper, so I thought since you have come out into the world, we could promote you and our Wendao Sect."

"Promoting our sect, that's a great thing." Guiyuan Tianzun agreed immediately upon hearing this; he had a very good impression of Lu Yang.

"When I was managing our sect, I wanted to promote it, but I was clumsy with words and couldn't explain it well. At that time, our sect also lacked talents like you. Outsiders heard about our sect and always thought we were some kind of demonic nest, which caused misunderstandings. Later, I simply stopped promoting it."

"Ten thousand years ago, let me think. That would start from the death of the last Great Yu Emperor and the collapse of the Great Yu Dynasty."

Previously, Guiyuan Tianzun had been punched by Yun Zhi, causing his life to flash before his eyes, and the bits and pieces of ten thousand years ago were echoing in his mind. Now that Lu Yang asked, Guiyuan Tianzun didn't need much time to think before he could recount the history of that time.

"Before Great Yu collapsed, there was a trend of chaos in the world, and after it collapsed, it became even more chaotic."

"When I saw the world become like this, I thought this was a good opportunity for me to show off my skills, so I chose to go down the mountain to venture out."

"It was also bad luck. A few days after I went down the mountain, my storage ring was stolen, which left me without a single spirit stone on me. It just so happened that I encountered two great cultivators fighting, moving mountains and filling seas, which directly made me unable to tell where I was."

"I stopped passersby, wanting to know where this was, and it would be even better if they could give me a ride."

"Then I met Zhuiyue, Tiankui, and the other four. It's just that my image was a bit terrible, and they mistakenly thought I was a robber and started fighting with me."

"It can be considered that we got to know each other through fighting. After the fight, the misunderstanding was cleared up. Zhuiyue and the others saw that I was quite agreeable, so they agreed to let me join them to make a name for myself in this chaotic world."

"Later, we did make a name for ourselves, and we also got to know Meng Junzi and Jiang Ping'an."

"Although the five of us had the idea of ending the chaotic world, we all knew we didn't have the ability to manage the entire continent; only Meng Junzi and Jiang Ping'an could do it."

"The disputes on the Central Continent went to the end, leaving only the Meng family and the Jiang family as the two forces. As you know, Jiang Ping'an established Great Xia."

As Guiyuan Tianzun spoke, Lu Yang wrote furiously. When Guiyuan Tianzun finished speaking, Lu Yang had also finished recording.

"At that time, the world was in chaos, and disputes were endless. Guiyuan Tianzun had no money but had the heart to build a career, so he sought like-minded Daoist friends and accidentally met Daoist Zhuiyue and the other four."

"At that time, the whole nation valued martial arts. Daoist Zhuiyue and the other four met friends through martial arts and understood Guiyuan Tianzun's intentions, so the five of them became friends and ventured into the world."

"Guiyuan Tianzun and the other five became respected in the chaotic world and were a major force at the time. Although they had the heart to end the chaotic world and unify the world, they said they lacked the ability, so they withdrew from the struggle, letting the Jiang family and the Meng family fight for the position of the master of the world, so that this chaotic world could end as soon as possible."

"Grandmaster, please take a look." Lu Yang presented the written draft to Guiyuan Tianzun. "It's roughly this meaning; I just touched it up a bit, and I will refine it later."

Guiyuan Tianzun read the draft once, his head full of question marks. He always felt that what Lu Yang wrote was not quite the same as what he told him, but after thinking carefully, it was all what he said.

"Pretty good." Professional matters should be left to professional people, so he wouldn't interfere.

A month had passed since the battle of the Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect. The news of Guiyuan Tianzun's reappearance in the Cultivation Realm spread rapidly throughout the world. The Cultivation Monthly Report was written by Lu Yang, who produced a special edition, greatly promoting the great achievements of Guiyuan Tianzun.

The high-grade cultivators were the first to know about Guiyuan Tianzun's emergence; ordinary cultivators and mortals didn't know as quickly.

With the Cultivation Monthly Report, ordinary cultivators and mortals also understood the whole story.

Besides recounting the events of ten thousand years ago, the monthly report also told of how Guiyuan Tianzun was accidentally trapped in a time rift, and after escaping, he fought the Divine Lord of Thunder regardless of his personal safety, saving the Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect. It was precisely because of Guiyuan Tianzun's move that the Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect did not suffer any casualties, only causing a little property damage.

The world was amazed by the strength of the Wendao Sect; two ancestors gathered, one sect with two semi-immortals, unparalleled in glory.

There were also other rumors about Guiyuan Tianzun circulating among the people, such as Guiyuan Tianzun stubbornly fighting Meng Junzi and being defeated by Meng Junzi, etc.

However, it was not recorded in the Cultivation Monthly Report; it should just be a rumor in the world of martial arts and shouldn't be taken seriously.

The world was very interested in this semi-immortal. The monthly report was sold out as soon as it was published. Guan Shanhai worked overtime in prison to print it.

Guan Shanhai was busy, and the prisoners on Prison Peak didn't dare to speak, fearing they would disturb this immortal and lose a moment of peace.

Daoist Zhuiyue lay on a chair made of snow, looked at this version of the newspaper three times, and couldn't match it with the events of ten thousand years ago in her memory.

"Why don't we just let Lu Yang marry into our Xiangong? Our Xiangong just lacks this kind of talent." ===== CHAPTER 867 =====
