"There is another matter you must attend to,"

Ancient Di Jiang tossed a token to an elder of the Di Jiang Clan, who hastily caught it before it could fall to the ground.

"The Phoenix Jade Token you two saw among the Phoenix Tribe is called the Phoenix Order, to see the Phoenix Order is to see Jiang Lianyi."

"This is the Di Jiang Order I crafted, to see this token is to see me, as it contains the might of the outline of my Dao Fruit."

"The founding ceremony is imminent. It represents not only the establishment of a nation but also a show of power. It is crucial to the future development of the Demon Nation, as well as the world’s perception of it. At that time, all the great powers will be present, which is the perfect opportunity to let these powers witness the strength of our Demon Nation."

Ancient Di Jiang spoke slowly, "To intimidate, the best way is to find a stepping stone."

"Our Demon Nation’s foundation is unstable, and we should not make enemies of the great powers now."

"The Heavenly Court Sect has been in the spotlight recently, claiming to be led by Heavenly Venerate Dou from the Ancient Heavenly Court, it’s laughable that the world believes it to be true."

"This so-called Heavenly Court Sect is the perfect stepping stone, big in name yet average in strength, and a counterfeit at that."

The Di Jiang Clan elder made a face, "But where do we find this Heavenly Court Sect?"

Ancient Di Jiang looked exasperated at his descendant, "Why search for them? Just get someone to play the part."

"They are fakes to begin with. If we have someone impersonate them, who can say we’re the fakes?"

The elder’s eyes lit up, and he respectfully praised, "Your wisdom is boundless, great ancestor!"

Ancient Di Jiang enjoyed the praise, his brows relaxed slightly as he continued, "I hear the Heavenly Court Sect has Heavenly Venerate Dou, a master, a Heavenly King protector, a Young Sect Master, and a Saint Heir."

"You just find a few to impersonate members of the Heavenly Court Sect, particularly the Heavenly King Protector, Young Master Lu and the like."

"Although the Heavenly Court Sect is fake, Young Master Lu’s strength is still considerable. Being recognized as the top among his peers in Great Xia, genius represents the future. Only by nurturing a genius can a power’s extraordinariness be proven."

"When the founding ceremony begins, let the imposter Young Master Lu appear to challenge the Demon Nation. I will send my disciple to the stage for a duel with him."

"After defeating Young Master Lu, I will reveal the true face of the Heavenly Court Sect. This way, not only can the world witness the genius nurtured by me and step on Great Xia, but they will also marvel at my insight and depth!"

"Your wisdom is boundless!" The Di Jiang Clan elder showed a hesitant expression, voicing his concern, "But Young Master Lu’s talent is truly rare in this world. If I randomly find someone, I’m afraid the great powers might see through the ruse."

Ancient Di Jiang waved his hand dismissively, "No matter, use the Di Jiang Order to control those imposters. Command them to squeeze out their potential, similar to burning Essence Blood, to forcibly strengthen themselves. This way, they will be almost indistinguishable from the real Young Master Lu."

"Alright, if there are no issues, then go."

Ancient Di Jiang sighed inwardly, none of his descendants were clever, everything required his personal intervention.

…

"Shall we go out for a walk?" Lu Yang suggested early in the morning, as staying idle in the inn was boring. It would be a good opportunity for Elder Lianyi to step out and experience the cultivation world of today.

Jiang Lianyi thought for a moment and felt that going out for a walk was a good idea, especially since finding the Qilin Immortal was not urgent.

Lu Yang got dressed properly, quickly freshened up, and stepped out of the inn.

As soon as he left, he encountered someone he had just become familiar with.

"It’s you!"

Qin Feng of the Jiuying Clan glared at Lu Yang with teeth clenched.

Next to Qin Feng were the Geniuses of the Demon Clan Alliance.

Seeing Lu Yang leaving the inn, they came to a realization and angrily pointed at Lu Yang, "You’re from the Seek Dao Sect!"

This guy isn’t from the Phoenix Tribe at all, but from the Seek Dao Sect!

"I understand now, the ones accompanying Jiang Shishi must be Seek Dao Sect’s Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou!"

One of the Demon Clan Geniuses reacted quickly, realizing the truth. Although they had never seen what these two looked like, considering the skills demonstrated in the Creation Ancient Land, only Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou could match.

In fact, Lu Yang wanted to say that there are three people in Seek Dao Sect whose level isn’t much different from the two of us, so don’t just assume it’s us.

But speaking of it now is useless, they may be dim-witted, but lucky, they guessed right.

Man Gu and his two companions didn’t show up in the Golden Core Stage finals, so the world isn’t too familiar with their existence.

Lu Yang turned around and walked back to the inn, Qin Feng and the others didn’t dare to barge into the inn, as cursing and swearing would damage their image, so they could only block the entrance in anger.

"Why did you come back?"

Jiang Lianyi was about to leave when she saw Lu Yang returning on the same path, expressionless.

"Miscalculated, someone recognized me," sighed Lu Yang as he described the situation at the door and how they made enemies in Creation Ancient Land.

Jiang Lianyi was somewhat troubled, as it wasn’t convenient for her to intervene in the vendettas of the younger generation.

"How about I disguise you?" Jiang Lianyi, who comes from Fairy Eternity, is first-rate in disguise techniques. Although her memories had vanished, her skills were still there.

"That would be best!" exclaimed Lu Yang, delighted.

Jiang Lianyi stretched out both hands, holding Lu Yang’s cheeks, and began to knead and rub his face. Soon, Lu Yang took on a completely different appearance, so much so that even an Elder wouldn’t recognize him.

Lu Yang went back to change his clothes and after some thought, to make the disguise more thorough, he took a sword with him.

"Perfect," Lu Yang gestured a thumbs up to his own reflection in the copper mirror.

The two of them walked out of the inn boldly, and Qin Feng and the others didn’t recognize Lu Yang at all.

Jiang Lianyi, wearing a cloak, emitted an aura that warded off strangers, and Qin Feng and the other juniors didn’t dare to come close.

Moreover, judging by the figure, it was a female cultivator, which didn’t match up with Lu Yang’s appearance.

Demon City was bustling, a mix of the Demon Race and Human race, and though there were minor frictions, there were no major disturbances.

In Demon City, the Human race accounted for half the number, the Demon Race set up shops, shouting and selling goods, and envoys from Buddha Country were seen holding alms bowls seeking donations.

"Benefactor, you carry a heavy air of resentment. This monk is willing to recite scriptures to dispel the resentment from you. Would the benefactor be willing to donate some Spirit Stones to help our Buddhism cast a Golden Body?"

"Get lost, get lost, get lost, I’ve been building Demon City for over a month, and after its completion, they told me it was voluntary labor. How could your scriptures possibly disperse my resentment?"

The envoy from the Buddha Country gave an embarrassed chuckle and looked for the next person to beg from.

Soon, the Buddha Country envoy encountered Master Jiesha’s Junior Brother, Master Jie Chen, and the two high monks from Buddhism clasped their hands together and chanted the name of Buddha.

"Jie Chen, it’s been a long time since we last met. Would you be willing to donate some Spirit Stones to help our Buddhism cast a Golden Body?"

"Certainly," Master Jie Chen promptly took out a few Top-grade Spirit Stones from inside his robe and placed them into the alms bowl of the envoy, making a crisp sound.

"Chen Yuan, it’s been a long time since we last met. Would you be willing to donate some Spirit Stones to help our Buddhism cast a Golden Body?"

"Certainly," Buddha Country envoy Master Chen Yuan took a few Top-grade Spirit Stones from inside his alms bowl and returned them to Master Jie Chen.

In this manner, the two high monks had earned themselves double the merit.

Jiang Lianyi found it an eye-opening experience.

When she first created the story of Buddhism, there was the setting of begging and casting Golden Bodies to accumulate merit, but she did not expect to see such an efficient method of accumulating merit.

To be honest, Lu Yang too found it an eye-opener.

Lu Yang also saw Sect Leader Qiu Jin’an asking the Sea Clan if they were willing to relocate to Five Elements Sect’s Water Vein, promising that their sect would handle the immigration procedures.

Unfortunately, it didn’t succeed. The Sea Clan agreed to visit the Five Elements Sect, but that was about it for relocation.

An elder of the Di Jiang Clan was looking for suitable candidates on the street, but didn’t find anyone suitable after searching for half a day. When he saw Lu Yang, his eyes lit up.

It’s you!
