Chapter 476 -475: ‘The Legend of Seek Dao Sect – Lu Yang Part’_1

Zhao Po was startled by Mingtai’s reaction, unsure of why he was so excited.

“Did you not hear about the storytelling of ‘The Legend of the Seek Dao Sect – Lu Yang Chapter’?”

Zhao Po shook his head. Recently, he had been engrossed in cultivation under the Sect Leader’s instruction, with no time to hear any stories.

“I haven’t heard the story, but I indeed know Senior Brother Lu Yang. Why do you ask?”

“Can you tell me about what Senior Brother Lu Yang did in Hanshui City? Is he as powerful as the legends suggest?”

“Indeed, he is extremely powerful. I have a Senior Brother named Huang Ming who is about my age, but is far superior to me in both cultivation talent and fighting ability. I later learned that he refined his cultivation after reaching the Unification Stage in the Great Yu era, explaining his prowess.”

“At the time, I was ignorant. Coincidentally, I was exorcising ghosts with Senior Brother Lu Yang when we encountered Huang Ming. A conflict arose between us and a fight ensued.”

“Who won?” Mingtai asked eagerly.

“Of course, it was Senior Brother Lu Yang. He went hand to hand with Huang Ming after his cultivation disbanding. He had the upper hand and handled it with ease!”

“That’s formidable!” Mingtai was astonished. Even if he were to fight a cultivator who had disintegrated into the Unification Stage, he would be confident to win, but to handle it with ease is entirely impossible.

“Quite so. Senior Brothers Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou told me that only those of Unification Stage and above are qualified to be their opponents.”

“Facts have proved it, too. After defeating Huang Ming, a Great Yu cultivator of the Unification Stage appeared intending to execute them. After handling him, the Emperor of Great Yu suddenly appeared and blanketed Hanshui City with the power of the rules.”

Even now, Zhao Po feels a chill when recalling it. He had never encountered so many high-level cultivators in his life, but everything seemed to come at once when he encountered Lu Yang.

Mingtai seemed thoughtful, “No wonder, with that, everything makes sense.”

“Hey, speaking of which, Senior Brother Lu Yang is here in the Seek Dao Sect. Can we expect to see a battle of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage this time?”

Zhao Po waved his hand, thinking Mingtai was overthinking. “No way, this is the Seek Dao Sect! Even the Emperor of Great Yu wouldn’t dare to cause any trouble here. With so many elders and the Sect Leader present, the Transcendance Tribulation Stage would have their hands full.”

It’s already far-fetched to encounter a Transcendance Tribulation Stage battle once in a lifetime, let alone regularly.

Even if such a meeting occurs, it would be during the advent of a Great Era, not every few months.

“Would you like something to eat? I’ve heard the barbecue here is delicious.”

Mingtai was not interested in food. He believes that cultivators should concentrate on cultivating. Eating is just to fulfill the appetites, an unnecessary behavior.

However, Zhao Po was passionate and he didn’t want to be outright rude. “You go ahead, I’m not fond of barbeque.”

“Oh, don’t be like that, the barbecue here is really good. Once you try it, you’ll know. Wait here, I’ll go get us some.” Zhao Po, as always, was enthusiastic. After all, having more friends opens more roads.

Just as Mingtai was about to say something, he saw Zhao Po sprinting towards the shopping street, soon losing sight of him in the crowd.

All he could do was to stop and wait.

Probably due to the booming business of the barbecue shop that Zhao Po mentioned, Mingtai had to wait for a while.

“Since I have nothing else to do, I might as well ask where Senior Brother Lu Yang is. When Zhao Po returns, we can go and meet him together.”

Conveniently, a young man dressed in a Seek Dao Sect disciple’s robe walked by, and Mingtai grabbed him.

The young man was startled, surprised at Mingtai’s sudden pull. He wondered if he had met an enemy.

“Hello there, fellow cultivator, would you happen to know where Senior Brother Lu Yang is?”

“Lu Yang?” The young man reacted with a strange expression, examining Mingtai from head to toe. Unfamiliar with Mingtai’s refined features and slightly unfamiliar appearance, he didn’t recognize him.

“What are you looking for Lu Yang for?” asked the young man, looking cautious.

“Well, I am Mingtai from the Sword Tower. A few days ago, I listened to the latest version of ‘The Legend of the Seek Dao Sect – Lu Yang Chapter’ in a teahouse and was in complete awe of Senior Brother Lu Yang. I thought I’d take this opportunity to meet him in person.”

“‘The Legend of the Seek Dao Sect – Lu Yang Chapter’?” The young man was bewildered. What kind of ghost name was that?

“What does the storytelling say?”

“The storytelling describes Senior Brother Lu Yang as extraordinarily gifted, even among those with Single Spiritual Root. He is the most powerful one. He could also challenge higher levels, defeating the cultivators of the Spirit Transformation Stage when he was in the Foundation Establishment Stage!”

“Upon reaching the Golden Core Stage, he became even more formidable! In the Imperial Palace, he fought with the leaders of the Four Great Immortal Sects, beating the leader of Laurel Fairy Palace until his mouth was full of leaves. The leader of Prison Suppressing Sect was beaten so hard that he vowed to become a monk, meanwhile, the leader of Suspension Temple was left speechless, growing hair with the intention to return to secular life!”

Initially, Mingtai thought the storytelling exaggeration about Lu Yang was a bit excessive. After all, it’s a popular story and an exaggeration is normal. But Zhao Po just said that his opponents are all at least at the Unification Stage.

Isn’t that the same as what was told in the storytelling?

“The leaders of the Four Great Immortal Sects were battered by Senior Brother Lu Yang, and all the eunuchs in the Imperial Palace saw it. The leaders of the Laurel Fairy Palace, Prison Suppressing Sect, and Five Elements Sect were beaten black and blue. Their injuries hadn’t even healed by the time they left the Imperial Palace!”

“The emperor even greatly praised Lu Yang’s actions, praising him as a young hero with extraordinary talents. He granted him the privilege to enter the court without bending his knees in respect, praising him without naming his name, and carrying his sword into the palace!”

The young man wore an even more peculiar look on his face. His master had briefly returned to the Seek Dao Sect a while ago, in the name of caring for the Righteous Path, and asked him what had happened during the Palace meeting. He detailed everything to his master who then patted him satisfactorily on the shoulder, criticizing himself for not being a good enough teacher, as he had often been absent during his apprentice’s cultivation. He declared that he was determined to help his apprentice achieve fame and fortune, asking him to watch out.

He never expected that achieving fame would be via this route!

He was aware of Qiu Jin’an and the other two getting beaten black and blue, after all, it was mess created by a fairy, and he was aware of the aftermath.

Qiu Jin’an and the other two had originally been competing for the title of strongest Golden Core Stage cultivator. However, during their fight, they got heated, all of them returning to their original realms, leaving themselves injured all over that they couldn’t recover for quite some time.

Mingtai was about to say something more, but he suddenly heard a long, ancient bell chiming from the peak of Sky Gate Mountain, resonating in his ears.

Dong— Dong— Dong—

The bell echoed throughout the Seek Dao Sect, a total of twelve tolls symbolizing the Seek Dao Sect’s history of 120,000 years.

The sound of the bell indicated that the celebration was about to begin. Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned towards the direction of Sky Gate Mountain.

The young man strode towards the altar.

He was originally planning to go to the altar, but was intercepted midway by Mingtai.

“Excuse me, cultivator, you never told me where Senior Brother Lu Yang is!” Mingtai said softly but urgently.

The robe transformed into light feathers and disappeared. Fairy silk danced on the ground, spreading throughout the body. The official crown, black robe, wide red skirt, white silk belt, yellow knee protector… formed a set of solemn and solemn clothing.

The young man looked back, a smile in his eyes, “I am Lu Yang.”
