Chapter 1134: Chapter 1133: Disregarding Sword Immortal Lu’s Kind Intentions

"Senior Brother, are you all right?"

Lu Yang genuinely frightened all the girls, who were alarmed to find him seriously injured when they had just seen him perfectly fine before they went to sleep. How could he have suddenly sustained such heavy injuries?

𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Was he beaten by the Eldest Senior Sister?

The girls hurriedly carried Lu Yang to the bed.

"Cough cough, just a minor accident," he said.

Lu Yang had gotten too excited about mastering a rule and now, after spitting out a few mouthfuls of hot blood, he had calmed down. How could he even think of commanding five Semi-Immortals with a Body Integration Realm rule? That was practically courting death.

Indeed, one should never become too ecstatic.

Fortunately, the rule he had set was not the kind that twisted causality against the heavens, which merely woke the girls up. Otherwise, his injuries could have been worse than when he faced the Thunder Tribulation.

Despite the blood he was spitting out, influenced by the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit Embryo, Lu Yang felt rather comfortable.

No, no, this comfort was unacceptable. Lu Yang forced himself to stop.

He worried he might one day seek out pain for pleasure, such was the terrifying effect of the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit Embryo, changing his habits without a sound.

Knock knock.

The knocking on the door came, and Fairy Eternity slipped into the Spiritual Space in a flash, Jin Caiwei hurried to answer it, and Tao Yaoye was at the door.

"Elder Brother Lu Yang, how’s your injury?"

During the time Lu Yang was healing, Tao Yaoye had visited a few times. It wasn’t her first time seeing Yun Mengmeng and a room full of people guarding Lu Yang, but every time she felt like she was losing to them.

"Senior Brother, are you all right?"

Seeing the blood at the corner of Lu Yang’s mouth and the bedsheet soaked with blood, she was shocked. How had his injuries gotten so severe?

"There’s no need to worry, Junior Sister Tao," Lu Yang said in a nonchalant tone. "I just hit a snag while cultivating. It’s common to have such minor issues; I’ll just need to be more careful next time."

Since Lu Yang acted as if nothing were amiss, Tao Yaoye didn’t feel it appropriate to say much more.

"I come on behalf of Junior Brother Man to visit you. A few days ago, Junior Brother Man wanted to visit and say farewell in person, but at the time you were in seclusion, so he asked me to pass on his message before he left."

Those few days were when Lu Yang was in seclusion, studying and writing cultivation techniques, refusing all visitors. He had only just removed the "In Seclusion" sign not long ago.

"Does Junior Brother Man have some mission that requires him to travel far?" Lu Yang wondered. Was Man Gu going to be away for a long time, that he needed to say goodbye to him?

"No, he went to the Imperial City to take part in the Imperial Examination."

"Ah?"

"Junior Brother Man believes that the best way to achieve Enlightenment among the common folk is to join the Dynasty as an official and become a regional governor."

If he waited to break through to the Void Refinement Stage before taking the exams, it would be dangerous to even leave the house. He could only take the exams before the breakthrough.

"Although our Sect could recommend him for a position in the Dynasty, he prefers to become an official through his own scholarly achievements."

Considering Man Gu was slightly above Fairy Eternity in level, Lu Yang was quite worried about him.

On the contrary, Fairy Eternity had a lot of confidence in Man Gu: "Man Gu will definitely pass. He is the only one from the Ancient Barbarian Tribe and received a blessing from Immortal herself."

This only made Lu Yang more concerned.

After Tao Yaoye left a new Recording Orb and departed, Fairy Eternity finally emerged from the Spiritual Space.

"In fact, to master the rules, staying in Seek Dao Sect is not the best option."

Lu Yangxin’s heart stirred, and he thought of an excellent place, "Are you talking about Buddha Country?"

"Exactly, the best choice is Buddha Country. Mastering the rules is fundamentally about comprehending heaven and earth. With an Immortal Body in Buddha Country, the effect is even better than if you were to ascend to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage and comprehend heaven and earth!"

Given the opportunity to go to Buddha Country, Lu Yang had no reason to disagree.

He could finally be an Immortal again.

Before heading to Buddha Country, Lu Yang kindly asked his good brother Old Meng if he would like to accompany him.

Meng Jingzhou looked at Lu Yang and the five Semi-Immortals behind him then thought about Lu Yang becoming an Immortal in Buddha Country while he was still known as a Buddha’s son. If I go to Buddha Country, will I have a single day of peace?

Lu Yang earnestly advised Meng Jingzhou, implying only his well-being, "Old Meng, you should seize this chance for an Immortal fate. Once I’m in Buddha Country, I’ll be an Immortal, and you’ll have an Immortal brother. I’m happy for you just thinking about it."

"Get lost, get lost, get lost."

Meng Jingzhou disregarded Sword Immortal Lu’s kind intentions. Sword Immortal Lu couldn’t say much more, so he, along with Fairy Eternity, Yun Mengmeng, Qinghe, Ao Ling, Jiang Lianyi, and Jin Caiwei, set out alone for Buddha Country.

Theoretically, someone at the Void Refinement Stage should go out as little as possible. There were several days of travel from Seek Dao Sect to Buddha Country; however, with many Semi-Immortals accompanying him, there shouldn’t be any issues.

Apart from Lu Yang pulling out his sword to assist whenever he saw injustice on the road, saving a damsel in distress, and subsequently finding out it was for a Dream Mirage film, in which he accidentally appeared, the director hearing of Lu Yang’s appearance sincerely invited him to make a cameo in the Dream Mirage.

And accidentally entering a sealed-off small mountain village where a female ghost at the Consummation of Qi Refinement level died with grievances, killing passers-by and casting an illusory curse on Lu Yang, only to be slain by a strand of his hair. Further investigation by Lu Yang revealed that the man who killed the ghost had since become a prince consort, prompting Lu Yang to write a letter, hoping Emperor Xia would deal with it.

In order to avoid trouble and hide his identity, Lu Yang went to a barbecue restaurant again and discovered issues with customer deception and non-fresh ingredients, with a staff member even yelling at Lu Yang, saying, "What can you do about it?" Lu Yang immediately used a talisman to contact the Jiuyou Sect, asking them to focus on quality control while expanding and to deal with this staff member as they saw fit. Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of Jiuyou Sect personally hurried over, greeting Young Sect Master Lu with a line of trembling members, scaring the staff member out of his wits.

Only then did he safely reach Buddha Country.

"I always said Eldest Senior Sister was not good at judging people, look how well this worldly transformation worked out. There was no need to fuel wars through fighting." Lu Yang felt this journey was very peaceful; he wouldn’t have needed Yun Mengmeng and the others to protect him.

After arriving in Buddha Country, Lu Yang condensed his Immortal Body and, with the help of Fairy Eternity’s Immortal Sense, became an Immortal.

"This is much more comfortable," Lu Yang couldn’t help but sigh. There really was no better place than Buddha Country, they didn’t have such good days in Seek Dao Sect.

"This is Elder Brother Lu Yang’s Immortal Body." The ladies marveled. Except for Fairy Eternity and Qinghe, they had only heard about Lu Yang being able to condense an Immortal Body and had never truly seen it.

Today, they witnessed it and indeed found it miraculous.

...

Imperial City, Imperial Examination Hall.

Today is the day of the Imperial Examination, an event held every five years, gathering talented individuals from across the world to display their abilities in writing.

Just as the examination began, a student experienced a crisis, breaking out in profuse sweat and raising his hand to signal.

The invigilator walked over unhurriedly, "What’s the matter, candidate?"

The invigilator glanced at the candidate’s ID tag: Man Gu.

"I have an issue; may I leave the room temporarily?"

The invigilator frowned and reprimanded, looking askance at Man Gu: "Of course not. The examination lasts for three days, and during this period no candidate may leave. You want to leave as soon as the exam starts. Are you trying to pass on the questions to your accomplices?"

Such incidents had happened several times in the history of the examination.

Desperate and sweating profusely, Man Gu said, "But I really can’t hold it in."

"Eating, drinking, and relieving oneself must all be done here. No leaving is permitted!"

"It’s my Realm I can’t hold in."
