Chapter 1245: Lu Yang's Problem

"What is 'live printing'?" A thought flashed through everyone's minds; it sounded like some powerful method. However, they didn't dwell on it, as there was no need to delay the meeting for such a minor matter.

Next, they moved to the open discussion session. Lu Yang knew he couldn't think of everything, and he felt that a relaxed environment where everyone could freely exchange ideas would yield better results.

Everyone discussed what needed to be considered to undo the world's seal while munching on sunflower seeds. Finding it inconvenient to chat standing up, they simply sat directly on the grass. From a distance, they looked like old men and women chatting leisurely at a village entrance. The only difference was that what they were discussing was a bit more significant.

"How should we undo the seal?"

Ying Tianxian asked, "Should we fully restore it, refining the continent back into a star, just like in ancient times?" If the continent were to be restored into a star, it wouldn't even require the combined efforts of the Four Ancient Immortals; Simao's Enlightenment Dao Fruit could accomplish it. "That definitely won't work; the world would fall into chaos." Jiang Ping'an frowned, reaching for the paper bag, which was empty. The sunflower seeds were gone.

"I'll go get some more sunflower seeds." Lu Yang left.

When Lu Yang returned, he carried a plate of sunflower seeds, a plate of pastries, and, using his mind, several cups of juice. Lu Yang sat down and continued chatting. The Immortal Fairy occasionally took over Lu Yang's body to eat some pastries.

"Then, should we flatten the entire box world?" A cube-shaped phantom appeared in Ying Tianxian's palm. The phantom unfolded, forming a cross-shaped flat surface, with the central continent in the middle. "Like this."

Ao Ling shook her head: "That's not ideal. The people near the borders would be thrown into disarray. Also, people from the Demon Realm, the East Sea, and the Buddhist Kingdom, who could originally cross borders directly, would then all have to pass through the Central Continent to travel."

"What should we do then?" Nine-layered Immortal hadn't anticipated that the location of opening the world would become a problem.

"What if we only undo the seals around the Spiritless Land?" Lu Yang gestured. "It would be like opening a lid, moving the Spiritless Land. Since there's no one there, it wouldn't affect anyone."

"Senior Brother Lu's method is good." Jiang Lianyi nodded in agreement, subtly grabbing Jin Caiwei's tail and pulling the little tiger back, who was about to climb onto the Qilin Immortal's side.

"I also agree with Senior Brother Lu's point of view." Ao Ling said, reaching out to hold down the little tiger. The little tiger, suppressed by the combined efforts of a dragon and a phoenix, struggled with its limbs. It wanted to roar but, considering they were discussing serious matters and it shouldn't interrupt, merely opened its mouth silently to express its dissatisfaction and resistance.

Soon, everyone unanimously agreed to Lu Yang's approach. Next, everyone discussed many issues, speaking over each other. After finalizing the details, they had a clear understanding of how to open the world and knew what they needed to do when they returned.

Qing He furiously scribbled notes on the side, documenting the entire meeting. It was clear without a doubt that this meeting on undoing the seal was of immense importance to future generations, and it would be a dereliction of her duty as a historian if she failed to record it fully.

"The meeting concludes here. Dismissed." Lu Yang announced. All foreseeable issues had been discussed during the meeting, and the process had gone even more smoothly than he expected. Everyone applauded in unison, and laughter filled the air.

After the meeting, no one was in a hurry to leave; it was rare for them to gather so neatly.

"If the four of you aren't pressed for time, why not come visit our Imperial City?" Jiang Ping'an invited. For cultivators of their level, the most valuable thing was finding friends of similar cultivation. The opportunity to exchange cultivation insights with the Four Ancient Immortals would greatly benefit his and Meng Junzi's practice. "Then we shall trouble fellow Daoist." The four of them, including Ying Tianxian, clasped their hands. They too wished to exchange insights with those of similar cultivation.

Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi, meanwhile, took the little tiger and headed to the East Sea to implement the decisions made at the meeting. Zhu Tian returned alone to the Demon Realm, also to begin implementing the meeting's decisions.

Lu Yang chewed on the end of his writing brush, pondering how to report on the undoing of the world's seal in a way that common people and cultivators could easily understand.

On Tianmen Peak, Lu Yang knocked on his Senior Sister's cave dwelling. "Come in." Yun Zhi's voice came from inside the dwelling.

Lu Yang entered the cave dwelling, which was very quiet, with only the sound of Yun Zhi turning pages. Yun Zhi looked up, calmly gazing at her junior brother: "Is something wrong?"

Lu Yang grinned, pulling a wooden box from behind his back as if performing a magic trick. The box was exquisitely crafted, inlaid with various jewels, yet it didn't appear ostentatious but rather imbued with deeper meaning. "What's this?"

"A gift for you. Want to open it?"

Yun Zhi opened the wooden box. Inside was a complete set of wooden tea ware, flawless and meticulously polished in every detail, crafted with great artistry. "Senior Sister, don't you like tea? I got you a tea set." Lu Yang said, feeling a little shy, secretly observing his Senior Sister's expression. Unfortunately, his Senior Sister's face remained as expressionless as ever, making it impossible to tell if she liked the gift or not.

"You went to a lot of trouble." Yun Zhi closed the lid and put away the tea set.

"Little Yang, you're unfair! I haven't received a gift!" The Immortal Fairy stomped her foot in the spiritual space, furious. She had thought Little Yang had commissioned Zhu Tian to make the tea set for himself, not for Yun! Lu Yang hadn't expected the Immortal Fairy to react this way and could only soothe her: "You will, Fairy. You'll definitely get a gift too."

"Really?" The Immortal Fairy eyed Little Yang suspiciously. Lu Yang nodded vigorously, his expression utterly sincere: "Really. When have I ever lied to you, Fairy? It's just that the time isn't right yet."

"Hmph, I suppose you wouldn't dare." The Immortal Fairy huffed, crossing her arms.

"Senior Sister, could you enter my spiritual space for a moment? I have a question I want to ask you." Lu Yang scratched his head, explaining that this question had been on his mind for days, and he felt uneasy not asking it. Coming to deliver the gift was just an excuse; this was his true purpose for coming today. "Alright." Yun Zhi didn't think much of it. Her primordial spirit left her body, transforming into a streak of light and entering Lu Yang's spiritual space. Although the spiritual space was already occupied by the Immortal Fairy, it was ultimately his own domain, and facing her here would give him confidence.

"What's your question?" Lu Yang looked at Yun Zhi seriously and asked, "Senior Sister, during the battle, Sage Yao said that as time passes, you would gradually merge with the Dao. Is that true?" Yun Zhi remained expressionless, coldly refusing to answer the question: "This is not something you should know."

If it had been before, Lu Yang facing Yun Zhi with such a tone would certainly not have pressed further. But this matter was different; he absolutely had to clarify it. The reason he chose to ask this question in the spiritual space was precisely for this.

Lu Yang stared intently into his Senior Sister's calm eyes, gathering his courage to ask again: "Senior Sister, is what Sage Yao said true?" Yun Zhi hadn't expected her junior brother to be so difficult to put off this time, but she couldn't lie. Her expression was no longer as it usually was, and her tone, uncharacteristically, softened:

"It's true. One day, I will merge with the Dao."
