Chapter 939: White Night's Initiative

The formerly desolate Sinner's Hall had recently become unusually lively. Lantana observed this with growing anxiety, but there was nothing she could do. She had no reason to stop her senior and junior sisters; it was perfectly legitimate for them to visit a guest. Although their intentions were not entirely pure.

Fortunately, by evening, her senior and junior sisters knew their boundaries and didn't disturb Lu Yang's rest, allowing Lantana to breathe a small sigh of relief. Though Lu Yang still couldn't rest even at night.

"Master, this is Lu Yang's recent situation," said Jinghong, now in her miniature form, to the dark ring on her hand. She didn't know what her master was wary of that prevented using divine sense to investigate, and instead required her to verbally recount Lu Yang's actions in the Immortal Palace.

The consciousness within the dark ancient ring pondered for a moment, then an ancient and resonant voice emerged: "It seems this child's physique is somewhat unusual; he naturally possesses a constitution that attracts women. Perhaps the Golden Core he forms during the Golden Core stage will be a 'Harem Golden Core'!"

"You should keep your distance from him; do not be influenced by his constitution. Those who can form a 'Harem Golden Core' are often rejected by heaven and earth, meeting a tragic end."

"As you command."

Jinghong touched the dark ancient ring, feeling particularly at ease. She had obtained this ring from a secret realm. The entity within the ring was ancient, powerful, and omniscient. It guided her cultivation, and following its instructions, she gradually improved her constitution, learned artifact refining, and advanced to the Soul Transformation stage, achieving her current success. Because the entity in the ring instructed her to hide her true capabilities, no one in the Immortal Palace knew the full extent of her abilities.

"Brother's experiences are truly exciting," Bai Ye constantly replayed the stories Lu Yang had just told in her mind, regretting deeply that she couldn't have been there herself. "It's a pity I can't leave my main body's territory," she thought, "otherwise, I could go adventuring with Brother."

Lu Yang thought to himself, 'Bai Ye, if you, a Tribulation Transcender, were to go down the mountain, that wouldn't be adventuring; that would be sweeping the martial world clean.' Similar to the Immortal of Ages, Bai Ye, from the moment her sentience was born, was equivalent to a Tribulation Transcender cultivator.

"Oh, right, I can move the mountain and leave," Bai Ye realized. Influenced by Lu Yang's stories, her thinking had subtly changed, becoming even more intelligent. Anyway, there are so many mountains in the Great Snow Mountain range, moving one wouldn't be a big deal.

"Wouldn't carrying a mountain around be too flashy?" Lu Yang kindly pointed out the flaw in this idea, although he also felt sorry for Bai Ye and wanted to take her out to see the world. The towering Ancestral Osmanthus Tree carrying a snowy mountain and moving—just imagining that scene was terrifying. Who wouldn't run for their life upon seeing that?

Bai Ye had a sudden idea and thought of a compromise: "I can move a mountain to your Dao Seeking Sect!" Although she couldn't adventure with Senior Brother Lu Yang, a change of scenery would still be nice.

Lu Yang opened his mouth, then realized there was no good reason to object.

In the spiritual space, the Immortal Fairy nodded with satisfaction. 'This Immortal knew Little Yangzi was on the same page as me.' "Little Yangzi deliberately suggested carrying a mountain around would be too flashy, thereby subconsciously guiding Bai Ye to propose moving the snowy mountain to the Dao Seeking Sect. This level of cunning is already not inferior to this Immortal's."

"Fairy, don't talk nonsense," Lu Yang quickly tried to distance himself from the implication. "Bai Ye was the one who voluntarily suggested coming to the Dao Seeking Sect." This made it sound like he had tricked Bai Ye into coming, and what if his Senior Sister and Senior Brother Dai misunderstood? That would be terrible.

"Of course, it has to be said that Bai Ye volunteered," the Immortal Fairy said, showing a "this Immortal understands everything" expression.

In the morning, True Person Chasing Moon glared at Lu Yang with an unfriendly expression. "Lu Yang, it's one thing that you have good relations with our Immortal Palace disciples, but you want to trick Little Night away too?" They had only been in contact with Lu Yang for a few days, and already she had the idea of moving a mountain to the Dao Seeking Sect. What would happen if she spent a long time with Lu Yang?

"Ah Ri, this was my idea," Bai Ye quickly said, "it has nothing to do with Senior Brother Lu Yang." "Besides, if I go to the Dao Seeking Sect," Bai Ye continued, "wouldn't you be able to go to the Dao Seeking Sect too?" Bai Ye couldn't leave her main body's domain, and True Person Chasing Moon couldn't either.

True Person Chasing Moon hesitated for a moment, then didn't refute. Although saying so might be a bit disloyal to the Immortal Palace she founded, she genuinely had the idea of visiting somewhere new.

'As expected of Little Yangzi,' the Immortal Fairy thought, 'he knew that as long as he swayed Bai Ye, Daylight would obediently follow her to our Dao Seeking Sect.' The Immortal Fairy greatly praised Lu Yang's actions. If Lu Yang hadn't already reached the pinnacle of status, with no higher ranks to bestow, she would have promoted him without question. "Little Yangzi, why don't you become the Bean Emperor right now?"

Lu Yang had no idea why the Immortal Fairy suddenly came up with such a terrifying thought.

"Senior Brother Lu Yang, can I also ask you questions about swordsmanship?" shouted Xuanyuan Tianhen, who lived two doors down. Seeing his junior brother Xue Shilou gain so much from Lu Yang yesterday, he couldn't hold back anymore.

"It's fine, but could you have Fellow Daoist Xue convey your questions for you?" Lu Yang kindly suggested. There was Xue Shilou between them, so Xuanyuan Tianhen had to shout, which was too noisy.

"Junior Brother," Xuanyuan Tianhen called to Xue Shilou, "ask Fellow Daoist Lu Yang: when I perform the 'Wild Geese Descending on the Sand' stance, I always feel like something is missing. What exactly is missing?"

Xue Shilou looked at his Senior Brother with a strange expression. "I can answer that question myself," he said.

Xuanyuan Tianhen tilted his head to look at Xue Shilou, as if he were seeing him for the first time. "You can answer it? Why didn't you say anything before?"

"I thought you were intentionally holding back your skills."

"Holding back my butt? This is my level!" Xuanyuan Tianhen retorted angrily.

"Senior Brother, lower your voice. If you yell like that, the entire Sinner's Hall will know your swordsmanship isn't good."

"Holding back my butt? This is my level," Xuanyuan Tianhen repeated in a lowered voice. This time, only Xue Shilou could hear him.

"You don't need to yell twice; I can hear you clearly," Xue Shilou said helplessly. He often felt like he was the senior brother.

"No, if I don't yell twice, I'll feel stifled and uncomfortable inside." Xuanyuan Tianhen always sought inner satisfaction in his actions and would never let himself feel wronged.

"Alright."

Xue Shilou answered Xuanyuan Tianhen's questions one by one. However, he didn't know everything, and occasionally, for one or two difficult problems, he still needed to ask Lu Yang for help.

"I've made Fellow Daoist Lu Yang laugh," Xue Shilou said, embarrassed.

"Not at all," Lu Yang replied, "this swordsmanship exchange isn't just helpful for you and Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan; it's also a great improvement for me."

Just as Xue Shilou was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed drastically. His face was covered in sweat, and he rolled on the ground, howling in pain.

"So noisy," said True Person Chasing Moon from two doors away. She thought for a moment, believing no one would notice her. She secretly activated the nascent form of her Dao Fruit, aimed it at Xue Shilou, and Xue Shilou immediately stopped howling. Although he was still rolling on the ground, he wore an expression of comfort and joy, clearly enjoying himself.

True Person Chasing Moon's little action went unnoticed by everyone else, but it couldn't escape the Immortal Fairy.

"Making Xue Shilou feel pain is extremely comfortable for him, and granting him joy..." the Immortal Fairy mused. "Could it be the nascent form of the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit?"
