Left and Right, Embracing Beauty
"Wow, there are quite a few people in this box, at least a dozen."
The Immortal Fairy gasped in surprise. The moment Luo Hongxia opened the box, she saw more than a dozen Body Integration Realm and a half-baked Tribulation Transcendence cultivator lying inside, piled up like a mountain.
The old monk who couldn't speak was covered in blood, but he had no wounds on his body.
Qiu Jinan and Yang Ding were eager to get started, waiting for their prey to take the bait.
"Come, come, hand over control of your body to this immortal, and this immortal will go into the box and take a look."
Lu Yang broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, and desperately pleaded with the Immortal Fairy, "Fairy, our Ask Dao Sect has many activities; there's no need to only do this one. This is too much of a waste of time."
"Alright then." The Immortal Fairy readily accepted the minister's suggestion.
Lu Yang quickly bid farewell to Luo Hongxia and hurried away from the area, hearing gloating voices behind him.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, I heard you were Sect Master Lu, is that true? What about Fellow Daoists Qiu and Yang...?"
Lu Yang quickened his pace.
They were quickly drawn to things they had never seen before.
"This is..."
Lu Yang saw that the small shed was full of cultivators, with a familiar array below. The cultivators held torn talismans in their hands, their eyes glazed over, seemingly lost in thought.
A wooden sign hangs next to the small shed, which reads: <The Origin of the Ask Dao Sect>
"Acting Sect Master." A head popped out from behind the small shed. It was Tao Yaoye, whom we hadn't seen for a long time. Tao Yaoye smiled sweetly when she saw Lu Yang.
"Congratulations on your promotion, Senior Brother Lu!" Tao Yaoye teased.
Lu Yang gave a helpless smile, "Junior sister, please stop teasing me."
Seeing that Lu Yang was a little shy, Tao Yaoye stopped teasing him. "This isn't a celebration. All the powerful figures and geniuses have gathered at the Ask Dao Sect, so I'm just taking this opportunity to promote 'Dreamlike Illusion'."
Lu Yang nodded; he could tell from the array on the ground.
"How was the effect?"
"The feedback has been good, so it shouldn't be difficult to promote it in the future."
The Dream Bubble is essentially an illusion, and illusions are not uncommon for those attending the conference. The fact that they said it was good indicates that not only is the Dream Bubble itself novel, but its content is also excellent.
What is the content of this "Dream Bubble" event?
"It tells the story of the origins of our Ask Dao Sect."
Lu Yang was greatly surprised. "They can even film something like the founder getting lost, asking for directions, and thus establishing the Ask Dao Sect?"
"Slightly modified, the ancestral master of the Heavenly Dao was distracted and lost in his cultivation, his progress stalled. While in meditation, he encountered an immortal. The ancestor asked the immortal where the Pure Land was, and the immortal told him to travel north; there the answer would be there. The ancestor traveled north, vanquishing demons and monsters, witnessing countless injustices in the world, and finally understood that the Pure Land was within his heart. Thus, he established the Ask Dao Sect in the mountains, signifying that amidst human injustices and the vastness of the immortal path, the Dao resides within the heart."
Lu Yang: "..."
So all you've left to keep is the name of your founding master?
Well, it's good if it makes the history of the Ask Dao Sect look better. I'm sure the founder won't care about such a small matter.
"Have you encountered any difficulties in your research on 'illusory bubbles'? Do you need me to approve some funding for you?"
Lu Yang, wielding great power, acted extremely arrogantly.
Tao Yaoye quickly said no need.
"Then do your best and keep it up," Lu Yang encouraged him.
After passing a few more stalls, I saw Meng Jingzhou giving a passionate speech.
"Fellow Daoists, mortals pursue matters of love and sex, but for cultivators, such matters only waste our time. After engaging in sexual intercourse, our energy is depleted, our memory declines, and we cannot concentrate, which seriously affects our cultivation progress."
"Furthermore, dating is a waste of time. Wouldn't it be better to use that time for secluded cultivation?"
"Look at me, everyone. This refined Law Power is the result of my cultivation after abstaining from matters of men and women. As the number one cultivator in the mid-stage of the Golden Core, representing the Ask Dao Sect in this battle has already proven my success!"
"You all know Sect Master Lu, right? Don't let his current status as Sect Master fool you. Just a few days ago, when he saw me, there was only one chair in his cave abode, and he insisted that I sit down. What does that mean? It means that he has to offer me his seat when he sees me!"
The cultivators, captivated by Meng Jingzhou's speech, exclaimed in hushed tones, "That's truly remarkable!"
"I have sworn to the heavens that I will never marry or have sexual relations with men until I become an immortal!"
"You don't want to achieve the same success as me!"
"Yes!" several people shouted.
Meng Jingzhou nodded in satisfaction. "I have Secret Method here that can sever the urge to engage in sexual relations. Anyone want to try it?"
No one answered. After a few seconds, someone raised their hand and stepped forward.
"I'll give it a try."
Meng Jingzhou was overjoyed; there really was someone else who wanted to be like him. He was eager to try and unleash the "Single Curse Fist."
Li Haoran went on stage.
"Senior Brother Meng, may I give it a try?"
Meng Jingzhou's face darkened, and he punched Li Haoran, who was probably going to have to go to the desolate state again.
Seeing his senior brother Meng's face darken, Li Haoran felt a surge of satisfaction. Back when he hadn't yet formed his core, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were always hanging around him, claiming to be powerful Golden Core cultivators, trying to mess with his mentality. Today, he finally got his revenge.
"Haoran, you're here?"
A gentle female voice sounded, tinged with surprise. A fragrant breeze wafted by, and Su Yiren grabbed Li Haoran's arm.
After searching around, Su Yiren finally found Li Haoran here.
With so many people at the celebration, using Divine Sense to scan was considered extremely impolite, so the Sui people could only search with their eyes.
Li Haoran's pupils contracted slightly. He hadn't expected that even though he was hiding in the Ask Dao Sect, Su Yiren would still come looking for him.
Seeing Li Haoran's terrified expression, Lu Yang felt a secret sense of satisfaction; Su Yiren was someone he had invited.
It's quite reasonable for a sect to invite a reclusive Body Integration Realm to hold a celebration.
"Mom, why did you come here?" Qin Yanyan emerged from the crowd, muttering to herself. Hugging and cuddling in public, what kind of behavior was that?
Mom?
When a beautiful woman took the initiative, everyone was initially envious of Li Haoran, but now they were looking at Li Haoran strangely.
"Is this what they call a friendship that transcends age?" Man Gu asked thoughtfully; he was one of the shills from earlier.
He only heard about Li Haoran's fiancée during his Body Integration Realm after he returned from the desolate state. His fiancée also had a child.
"Come on, there are lots of fun things to do here, let's go explore." Su Yiren pulled Li Haoran away with absolute force without saying a word.
Qin Yanyan followed beside Li Haoran, trying to warn the two with her eyes, but it had little effect.
Li Haoran is blessed with both a mother and daughter, with his wife on each side, making others envious.
Seeing this, Lu Yang was completely satisfied.
"Junior Brother."
The senior sister's voice rang out, startling Lu Yang.
"Senior Sister, what's wrong?"
The eldest sister frowned slightly, seemingly puzzled. "We should have invited many Body Integration Realm, so why does it seem like not many have come?"
Lu Yang thought to himself, "Why don't you go check inside the box? Maybe someone's lying there resting."
"I don't know," Lu Yang feigned ignorance. What else could he say but send his senior sister to wreak havoc inside the box?
"Then come with me to look for it."
The second update will be at 11 PM.
