Chapter 1061: Senior Brother Dai, We Two Brothers Have Found the Three Ancestors of the Wen Dao Sect for You

Chapter 1077: Senior Brother Dai, We've Found All Three Patriarchs of Dao Sect for You!

Lu Yang and his group transformed into streaks of light, speeding all the way through the mountain gate and bamboo forest, heading directly for the Mission Hall.

Sister Mengmeng said that the Senior Sister was out visiting friends and not currently in the sect, so they would have to report to Senior Brother Dai first.

A winding stream flowed through the bamboo forest. The River Spirit, bored, blew bubbles, only half of its head visible.

It yawned. Out of the corner of its eye, it saw Lu Yang's group flying by, and upon seeing the person Lu Yang was carrying on his shoulder, its mouth remained open for a long time.

It rubbed its eyes hard, but by the time it looked again, Lu Yang had already flown away.

“What the devil?”

In the deepest room of the Mission Hall, Acting Hall Master Dai Bufan finished processing the last mission report.

“Done.”

Dai Bufan stretched comfortably. His official duties were complete, and after a day of hard work, this was the most relaxing time of his day.

He used a spell to clean the ink from his brush, which he then twirled between his fingers.

“I wonder how things are at the Mountain-Moving and Ocean-Filling Sect. Those two little rascals haven't caused me any trouble, have they?”

Dai Bufan recalled the Immortal Cultivation Monthly published a few days ago, which praised over a dozen Great Xia cultivators for bravely taking responsibility and actively restoring the terrain. He knew this must have been Lu Yang and his companion's doing.

However, this was a good thing, and Dai Bufan was happy to see it.

“Even if there’s trouble, it shouldn’t be a big problem. Junior Brother Fang Jin also mentioned in his reply that he bought insurance.”

Dai Bufan found Fang Jin's reply, which contained only two words: 'Bought it.'

It was even more concise than his own letter.

“Good that it’s bought.”

“Senior Brother Dai, are you there?” Lu Yang's polite knocking sounded from outside the door.

“Come in.”

Lu Yang walked into the room smiling, which puzzled Dai Bufan: “Weren’t you and Junior Brother Meng supposed to study at the Mountain-Moving and Ocean-Filling Sect for two months? It hasn’t even been a month, so why are you back?”

“Senior Brother Dai, we have great news! Old Meng and I couldn't contain our excitement, so we came directly to share it with you!” Lu Yang's voice was excited, and his eyes gleamed.

“What great news?” Dai Bufan twirled his brush, wondering what good news the two could have possibly found after a trip out.

“Old Meng, bring him in.” Lu Yang called towards the door.

“Alright!”

Soon, Meng Jingzhou dragged a straw mat into the room. On the mat lay a burly, still unconscious man.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou congratulated Dai Bufan in unison: “Senior Brother Dai, the two of us brothers have gathered all three patriarchs of Dao Sect for you!”

“Gui, Guiyuan Patriarch?!”

Seeing Guiyuan Heavenly Venerate, who had been missing for eighty thousand years, appear alive before him, Dai Bufan was so startled that he flung his brush away, leaned back, and crashed to the floor, chair and all.

He scrambled across the table to check on Patriarch Guiyuan.

Alive, and unconscious.

“Why is he unconscious?”

At that moment, Yun Mengmeng dragged the Thunder Lord God into the room: “The Second Boss told me to blast him.”

“I distinctly told you to stop him!”

Yun Mengmeng retorted confidently: “But this is the only move I know; other moves wouldn't stop him.”

Through their daily interactions, Yun Mengmeng had become smarter and could understand Lu Yang’s subtext: 'stopping' someone meant 'blasting' someone.

Hearing this, Dai Bufan felt his blood rush upward, his brain congested, his steps faltered, and his body swayed uncontrollably. Lu Yang, not bothering to explain the situation to Yun Mengmeng, stepped forward to support Dai Bufan.

“Senior Brother Dai, are you alright?”

“Don't call me Senior Brother, you’re the Senior Brother. No, you’re my ancestor.”

He had previously heard Daoist Innate mention that Lu Yang and his companion had hung him up and threatened him with a whip the moment they met.

Now, Lu Yang had just blasted Guiyuan Heavenly Venerate unconscious the moment they met.

He was practically an ancestor.

At this moment, Guiyuan Heavenly Venerate, lying on the straw mat, stirred. He groaned a few times, opened his eyes, and met the gaze of Yun Mengmeng, who was curiously examining him. Startled, he immediately sprang up, wary of Yun Mengmeng.

“Whose side are you on?!”

“I'm on the Second Boss's side.”

“Who is the Second Boss?”

Hearing 'Second Boss,' Guiyuan Heavenly Venerate became even more wary. If Yun Mengmeng was so powerful, who could the Second Boss be?

Meng Jingzhou stepped forward to smooth things over: “It’s all a misunderstanding, Patriarch. We’re all on the same side.”

“On the same side?” Guiyuan Heavenly Venerate looked suspiciously at the people in the room: Thunder Lord God, Yun Mengmeng, Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, and Dai Bufan.

Finally, his gaze fell upon the identity jade plaques of Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

“Dao Sect jade plaques. Are you two disciples of my Dao Sect?”

“Patriarch, this is Dao Sect.”

“This is Dao Sect?” Guiyuan Heavenly Venerate suspiciously released his divine sense to survey the surroundings.

“It really is Dao Sect. How could it have changed so much in just over two hundred years?”

This was mostly the same as the Dao Sect he remembered, but many details were different.

Lu Yang stepped forward to explain: “Patriarch, the immortal box you entered was created by the Immortal of Time. One day in the box equals one year outside. You spent over two hundred years inside the box, but eighty thousand years have passed in the outside world.”

“Eighty thousand years?!” Guiyuan Heavenly Venerate was shocked. He quickly took out the immortal gold box, thinking, 'If I had known this broken box had such an effect, I wouldn't have forced my way in.'

“You seem a bit conflicted.”

Guiyuan Heavenly Venerate was indeed conflicted: “If I keep this box, it feels useless, but if I don’t, it’s a rare item refined by the Immortal of Time, and it would be a shame to throw it away.”

Lu Yang wanted to say that there was nothing regrettable about throwing it away. If the Patriarch found this box rare, he could take him to meet the even rarer Immortal of Time.

“Patriarch, how did you get into the immortal gold box?” Meng Jingzhou asked curiously.

“At that time, I coincidentally encountered a secret realm. After entering it, I saw a small box at the end of the realm. It felt quite precious, and I wanted to pick it up and examine it. The only trouble was the restriction. I figured my body was so strong that I wouldn't be afraid if I triggered the restriction, so I just barged straight in.”

As he said this, Guiyuan Heavenly Venerate slapped his thigh in regret: “If I had known this broken box was so unreasonable and would suck me in the moment I triggered its restriction, I wouldn't have forced my way in!”

“It directly sent me eighty thousand years into the future. After I came out of the box, I was struck by lightning, and that person didn't even apologize after striking me! I finally managed to defeat him and was about to catch up, only to be blasted several more times!”

Guiyuan Heavenly Venerate felt like he had the worst luck imaginable.

Lu Yang lowered his head, feeling guilty and not daring to meet Guiyuan Heavenly Venerate’s gaze.

“Eighty thousand years have passed; everything has changed. I'm afraid there's no one I know left in Dao Sect,” Guiyuan Heavenly Venerate said with a touch of melancholy.

“Uh, actually, there should be a few people you know in our sect,” Lu Yang comforted him.

“Who? The River Spirit?”

“The River Spirit is one, and there’s also…”

Just then, the door was knocked on again.

“Senior Brother Dai, do you know where Junior Brother Gu is?”

Qi Tongtian pushed the door open and saw a room full of people. Feeling that he had entered at an inopportune moment, he tried to retreat.

Lu Yang quickly pulled Qi Tongtian over and introduced him: “You definitely know this person, Patriarch. This is our sect’s founding patriarch, Daoist Innate!”

“Huh?”

Seeing the somewhat shy Daoist Innate, Guiyuan Heavenly Venerate fell into deep doubt.

Had he traveled to the future, or back to the past?
