Chapter 466: The Legend of the Dao Seeking Sect - Lu Yang Chapter

Zhao Po was startled by Mingtai's reaction, not understanding why he was so agitated.

"Haven't you heard the storytelling performance, 'The Legend of Wen Dao Sect: Lu Yang's Chapter'?"

Zhao Po shook his head. He had been training day and night under the Sect Master's guidance recently; he had no time for storytelling.

"I haven't heard the storytelling, but I do know Senior Brother Lu Yang. What about him?"

"Tell me, what did Senior Brother Lu Yang do in Hanshui City? Was his combat power truly extraordinary, just like the legends say?"

"Indeed, his combat power is exceptional. I have a senior brother named Huang Ming, who is about my age. However, in terms of both cultivation talent and combat talent, he was far superior to me. I later found out he was an Integration Stage cultivator from the Great Yu Dynasty who had dispersed his cultivation and was cultivating from scratch again, which explained his immense power."

"At the time, I didn't know this. It happened that Senior Brother Lu Yang and I were out on a ghost-extermination mission when we encountered Huang Ming. The two of them had a major fight because of me."

"Who won?" Mingtai asked eagerly.

"Of course, it was Senior Brother Lu Yang. He actually fought against Huang Ming, who had re-cultivated after scattering his powers, and maintained a clear advantage, even fighting with ease!"

"That powerful!" Mingtai exclaimed in surprise. Even if he fought against a re-cultivating cultivator, he might be confident of victory, but fighting with such ease would be absolutely impossible for him.

"Absolutely," Zhao Po confirmed. "Senior Brother Lu Yang and Senior Brother Meng Jingzhou told me that their opponents are always at least at the Integration Stage. Anyone below that level doesn't even qualify as their opponent."

"And the facts proved it. After defeating Huang Ming, an Integration Stage cultivator from the Great Yu Dynasty appeared, intending to kill them. Once they dealt with that cultivator, the Emperor of the Great Yu Dynasty suddenly appeared and enveloped Hanshui City with the power of rules."

Even now, Zhao Po shivered with lingering fear as he recalled it. He had never encountered so many high-level cultivators in his life. It seemed that as soon as he met Lu Yang, all sorts of monsters and powerful figures started appearing.

Mingtai mused, "No wonder. That explains everything."

"Hey," Mingtai continued, "So you're saying Senior Brother Lu Yang is right here in Wen Dao Sect? Do you think we'll get to see another Tribulation Transcendence Stage battle this time?"

Zhao Po waved his hand, thinking Mingtai was overthinking it. "No way. What kind of place is this? It's Wen Dao Sect! Even if the Great Yu Emperor came here, he wouldn't dare cause trouble. Besides, with so many elders and sect masters present, even a Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivator would have a hard time here."

It's rare enough to encounter one Tribulation Transcendence Stage battle in a lifetime; how could we keep running into them?

And even if we did, it would only be after the arrival of the Great Era, not every couple of months.

"Want something to eat? I heard the barbecue here is delicious."

Mingtai wasn't very interested in eating. He believed cultivators should focus diligently on their cultivation, and eating was merely to satisfy bodily desires, an unnecessary activity.

However, Zhao Po was enthusiastic, and Mingtai didn't want to be too blunt. "You go ahead and eat. I'm not very fond of barbecue."

"Oh, don't say that! The barbecue here is truly delicious; you'll know once you've tried it. Wait here, I'll go buy some for both of us." Zhao Po was as enthusiastic as ever. After all, when you're out and about, the more friends you have, the more opportunities open up.

Mingtai was about to say something else when he saw Zhao Po run off quickly, heading straight for the commercial street, soon disappearing into the crowd.

He could only lower his hand and wait where he was.

Presumably, the barbecue stand Zhao Po mentioned was too popular, as Mingtai waited and waited but saw no sign of him.

"Since I'm just standing around," he thought, "I might as well ask where Senior Brother Lu Yang is. Then, when Zhao Po returns, we can go meet him together."

Just then, a young man wearing a robe in the style of Wen Dao Sect disciples walked by. Mingtai quickly grabbed him.

The young man didn't expect Mingtai to act so suddenly and was startled, thinking he had encountered an enemy.

"Hello, Senior Brother. May I ask if you know where Senior Brother Lu Yang is?"

"Lu Yang?" The young man's expression was a little strange. He looked Mingtai up and down. The other person had fair skin and red lips, appearing like a delicate young scholar, and his face was unfamiliar. He didn't recognize him.

"Why are you looking for Lu Yang?" the young man asked cautiously.

"Well, I'm Mingtai from Sword Tower. A few days ago, I heard the latest edition of 'The Legend of Wen Dao Sect: Lu Yang's Chapter' at a teahouse, and I'm deeply impressed by Senior Brother Lu Yang. I wanted to take this opportunity to meet him."

"'The Legend of Wen Dao Sect: Lu Yang's Chapter?'" The young man wondered, "What kind of strange name is that?"

"What did the storytelling say?"

"The storytelling said that Senior Brother Lu Yang possesses exceptional talent; even among single-spirit root cultivators, he is the strongest. He can also challenge opponents beyond his level, having defeated a Soul Transformation Stage cultivator while still in the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

"When Senior Brother Lu Yang reached the Golden Core Stage, he became even more incredible. In the imperial palace, he fought fiercely against the four sect masters of the immortal sects, beating the Palace Master of the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace until her mouth was full of leaves, beating the Sect Master of the Prison Suppression Sect until he shaved his head as a vow to become a monk, and beating the Abbot of the Hanging Temple into speechless silence, making him grow out his hair and wish to return to secular life!"

Originally, Mingtai thought the storytelling's description of Lu Yang was exaggerated; after all, it was common for popular storytelling to exaggerate. But then Zhao Po had just said that Senior Brother Lu Yang's opponents always started from the Integration Stage.

This perfectly aligned with the storytelling's account.

"The eunuchs in the imperial palace all witnessed Senior Brother Lu Yang brutally beating the four sect masters of the immortal sects! The Palace Master of the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace, the Sect Master of the Prison Suppression Sect, and the Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect were all beaten black and blue, and their injuries weren't even fully healed when they left the palace!"

"His Majesty even greatly praised Senior Brother Lu Yang's actions, calling him a young hero of extraordinary talent, and granted him the privilege of entering court without haste, bowing without announcing his name, and wearing his sword and boots into the imperial hall!"

The young man's expression grew even stranger. A while ago, his master had returned to Wen Dao Sect for a visit. Under the guise of 'caring about the righteous path,' he had asked what happened during his meeting in the imperial palace. The young man had recounted the events in detail, and his master had patted his shoulder, pleased, saying that he had been an incompetent master, often absent when his disciple was cultivating, and that he was determined to help his disciple become famous and make a name for himself, telling him to "just watch."

He never imagined that was how he would become famous!

He knew about Qiu Jin'an and the other two being beaten black and blue; after all, it was the immortal fairy who had caused the trouble, and he had looked into the aftermath.

Qiu Jin'an and the other two were originally vying for the title of 'Strongest Golden Core Stage cultivator.' However, as they fought, they got so carried away that they all restored their original cultivation realms, leaving them severely injured and unable to recover for a while.

Mingtai was about to say more when he heard a distant bell tolling from the peak of Tianmen Peak, ancient and prolonged, as if it had rung countless ages ago, echoing in his ears.

Dong — Dong — Dong —

The bell's chimes resonated throughout Wen Dao Sect, a total of twelve sounds, symbolizing the sect's 120,000-year history.

The ringing of the bells signified that the celebration was about to begin. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked collectively towards Tianmen Peak.

The young man strode towards the altar.

He had already been on his way to the altar but had been stopped midway by Mingtai.

"Senior Brother, you still haven't told me where Senior Brother Lu Yang is!" Mingtai said softly and urgently.

His robe transformed into shimmering light feathers and vanished. Immortal threads danced around his feet, spreading throughout his body, forming a magnificent ceremonial attire: a crown, a dark robe, a crimson skirt, a wide white silk sash, a yellow knee-covering, and more.

The young man turned his head, a smile in his eyes. "I am Lu Yang."
