Chapter 1139: Chapter 1138 [Rule: Remove Things That Affect My Cultivation]

Qinghe’s speculation wasn’t without reason. In ancient times, she was responsible for organizing the followers who worshipped Fairy Eternity and dealt with numerous big and small matters, such as proclaiming the greatness of Fairy Eternity to the world, sculpting statues, and leading the believers in daily prayers and so on.

When she reported her achievements to Fairy Eternity, she would always omit the trivialities, only discussing the important matters, to save the great one’s time, allowing them time to play.

"The work report from the Meng Family is poorly written. The remaining organization names should be noted in small print here," Lu Yang pointed out a flaw in the booklet. If it were him, such an oversight would never occur.

Ultimately, it was the Meng Family’s attitude that was at fault. Lu Yang served Immortals, and the Immortal in question was even the founding Emperor. As the saying goes, serving a king is like serving a tiger; he, of course, would be utterly respectful and never allowed such flaws in his daily duties or work.

"Indeed," Qinghe nodded. She did the same in ancient times. Although she wouldn’t report to the great one, she would write down her work experiences, so if the great one ever spontaneously desired to check on the work, there’d be something to review.

The only problem was that the great one had never shown such a whim.

"Alright, since this Soul Organization has been taken care of, everyone go back," Lu Yang said. To him, someone like Daoist Yu was a minor character whose only purpose was to disclose the organization behind him. As for his Storage Ring and such, they were all worthless trinkets he couldn’t be bothered to pick up if dropped on the ground.

Unknown to them how long they had been gone, a heavy downpour made the soil of the graveyard muddy and soft.

A youth desperately dug through the mud, emerging from the ground, gasping for breath and greedily inhaling the hard-won fresh air.

With a fierce look, the youth threw his arms wide and stood in the rain, laughing maniacally, "Second brother, to compete for the inheritance our father left behind, you even conspired with Wild Cultivators to trap and bury me alive!"

"Bet you didn’t expect that the only magic skill I mastered is the Turtle Breath Technique, and I’m still alive!"

After the laughter, the youth’s mood plummeted. Although alive, the thought of revenge seemed as unattainable as ascending to heaven. His second brother had a Cultivator as a backer, and though a Loose Cultivator, he was not someone his mere first level of Qi Refinement could provoke.

"What’s this?"

The youth noticed a decrepit corpse not far away, dressed strangely, with a string of beads tied to the wrist.

"Could this be... a magic artifact?"

The youth noticed the tiny characters engraved on the artifact, all magic skills amounting to a total of one hundred and eight.

He tried to channel spiritual essence into the beads, but sadly, he could only barely activate the Basic Fire Control Skill.

"Perhaps after my Realm improves, I’ll be able to activate more beads... and there’s also the Storage Ring!"

Both the beads and Storage Ring were Daoist Yu’s life-bound items. Now that their owner was gone, they could be opened at will.

Seeing the contents of the Storage Ring, the youth’s body shook uncontrollably.

"Cultivation Techniques, supreme techniques that enable cultivation to the peak of Foundation Establishment! And all these Spirit Stones, magic artifacts!"

He had never seen so many Spirit Stones and magic artifacts in his life.

The entire wealth of a Foundation Establishment Great Power felt like a stroke of tremendous luck falling from the sky.

"Exactly what formidable foe did this Foundation Establishment Great Power encounter to come to such an end?"

The youth quickly calmed himself, understanding that whoever had killed Daoist Yu was also gravely wounded and had not bothered to take away the Storage Ring and beads, leaving these treasures behind.

"May the Worldly Venerable bless me."

The youth knelt and bowed in all directions, overcome with gratitude.

...

"Where is this?" Uncle Wang found himself in a pure white space.

A tall and hazy figure appeared, immeasurably towering; Uncle Wang wasn’t even as tall as its finger.

"Well done, well done. Wang Han, you have shown integrity by not keeping the Life-purchasing Money for yourself, but instead donating it to our temple, reclaiming a life, thus creating good karma."

Uncle Wang shuddered. The money he had found was the legendary Life-purchasing Money. May the Worldly Venerable be praised, how lucky he was to have donated it.

"Continue to do good deeds in the future, and you shall reap good rewards."

"Yes!"

Uncle Wang woke up a bit confused, was everything just a dream?

But when he opened his palm and discovered the character for "good" written there, he immediately understood that it was a dream sent by the Buddha.

The Buddha worshipped at the Soybean Temple was a real Buddha!

Without even bothering to eat, Uncle Wang quickly mounted his camel and searched for the Soybean Temple, but when he arrived at the place from his memory, he couldn’t find anything, no matter how long he searched.

Just then, the voice from the dream echoed in his ears once more.

"Wang Han, your destiny with our temple has ended, seek no further."

Uncle Wang then gave up, utterly dispirited.

...

In the Great Bean Dynasty, at the Ancestral Temple.

Lu Yang had sent a dream to Uncle Wang simply to tell him to be more cautious and not pick up just any money.

After sorting out Uncle Wang’s issue, he sat on the Lotus Platform, expanded his Immortal Sense, and meditated on the Dao Charm of heaven and earth to deepen his understanding of the rules.

Within the range of his Immortal Sense, he saw Yun Mengmeng and Jin Caiwei setting up a large pot to cook syrup to repair the Ancestral Temple’s leaks, meanwhile conveniently eating other parts of the temple, effectively robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Qinghe was sneakily writing something on her own, and when she sensed Lu Yang’s Immortal Sense, she quickly covered up her writing and warned him with her eyes not to peek.

The Dragon and Phoenix ancestors had dug out a large space right below the Ancestral Temple, using the Qilin Immortal as an imaginary enemy to train for battle. After discussing, they decided that once they found the Qilin Immortal, they would give him a good thrashing!

"The Extinguish Immortal Sword Array that Elder Brother Lu Yang knows originated from the Sword Array that my husband often kneels to, he deceived us for so long, he deserves a beating!"

"But even if we join forces, I’m afraid we can’t hurt my husband, what should we do?" Jiang Lianyi asked, worried.

Ao Ling laughed charmingly, already having a plan in mind: "No worries, when the time comes, we’ll lure my husband to Buddha Country and ask Elder Brother Lu Yang to take action. The three of us will teach him a lesson together!"

"That’s a good idea, let’s wait until Elder Brother Lu Yang has fully grasped the rules and then practice our combined attack!"

In her Spiritual Space, Fairy Eternity was sitting cross-legged on the throne, swaying like a wobble doll, sharing her experiences with those who came after her: "Mastering rules relies on inspiration, it’s that ’click’ moment, you understand the feeling, right?"

"Don’t you understand? Let me repeat it again..."

Lu Yang gazed up hopelessly at the temple rooftop that had been nibbled on several times, who said Buddha Country was a good place? One might as well see a ghost than to calm the mind and cultivate here.

"Fairy, can I use the rules on myself?"

"You can, but you can’t use excessively powerful rules, like increasing your strength tenfold, or solidifying your realm, or anything like that."

"That’s fine, I don’t need exaggerated rules. Here I declare [Rule: Remove things that distract my cultivation]!"

Lu Yang didn’t want his Immortal Sense to see Yun Mengmeng and the others again, as it would distract him.

Setting the rule for himself, Lu Yang triggered an unnoticed change.

"Why can I still see Yun Mengmeng and the others?"

Lu Yang was puzzled, surely the rule wasn’t set right.

Suddenly, he was overcome with an inexplicable urge and earnestly said to Fairy Eternity, "Fairy, from now on, I am yours!"

"Ah? Really?"

"..."

Immediately, Lu Yang gave himself two slaps to wake up, what kind of ridiculous rule was this that stripped away his self-respect?
