After that, Lu Yang remained in the Sacred Sect for another month.
As time went on, he simply stayed overnight on Mending Heaven Peak—either discussing the Dao with Lady Ruoxiang or listening to Chen Shuqian play the flute. His life was quite refined.
Of course, those were merely embellishments.
Lu Yang's body was like steel and his Dao Heart like iron. A little mother-daughter tenderness could not possibly sway his resolve. Most of the time, he was still studying the Dao book in his hands.
"Golden Core Observation Manual. What an excellent Golden Core Observation Manual!"
The True Lord who had written this Dao book was known as True Lord Sky Soaring Sun Obscuring. He had refined a Golden Core and attained Great Forest Wood, yet he was the most embarrassing True Lord in Sacred Sect history.
Because He was a good person.
This was no empty claim. At least during His time in office, He had never committed any malicious deed. He even had personal connections with the Sword Pavilion, Dao Court, and Pure Land, with contacts spread across the world.
"Though it is unbelievable, it is not impossible to understand. After all, what True Lord would write something like the Golden Core Observation Manual in his spare time, teaching others how to seek gold? Was he afraid that, after reincarnating, no one would compete with him for the Fruit Position? Anyone capable of doing such a thing being a good person would not be strange."
At the very least, Lu Yang would never have done such a thing.
Daoist Hongyun was the precedent. A dignified True Lord, yet after reincarnation, he had been firmly suppressed by True Person Chongguang, a junior. It was utterly stifling.
Shaking his head, Lu Yang cast aside his stray thoughts and focused again.
