Heavenly Court Teaches the Newcomer

After five days of riding on animal hides, the third senior sister finally arrived at the site of the founding ceremony of the demon kingdom.

Originally, this place was a continuous range of mountains. Through the efforts of the Demon Race alliance, it has been transformed into a plain, and a towering imperial city has risen from the ground, standing tall on the plain.

The city, built of cast metal, stood out conspicuously in the savage demon realm.

The majestic mountain stands tall, surrounded by towering peaks, and the magnificent metal city stands out prominently amidst this mountain range.

The metal city was entirely black, a dense, oppressive mass that was suffocating and extremely intimidating.

With the founding ceremony approaching, all forces at the Body Integration Realm were invited, and most of them arrived at Metal City in advance. In addition, the Demon Race Clan Alliance members were stationed there, making Metal City very lively.

Great Xia, East Sea, Demon Kingdom, and various Rogue Cultivator gathered here, and the entire cultivation world's forces came to witness this.

Originally, after organizing the anniversary celebration of the Ask Dao Sect, Lu Yang had already recognized all the major sects of the Great Xia Dynasty. This time, many unfamiliar major forces also came.

After all, the Demon Realm had been in chaos for 300,000 years, and suddenly they announced that they would establish a country. Everyone wanted to witness this historic moment.

The founder of the nation was no ordinary person either; he was the High Antiquity emperor Jiang Zhutian, a semi-immortal who had lived from High Antiquity to the present!

Anyone who has studied High Antiquity history knows of his illustrious reputation!

"Demon City?"

Two large characters hang above the gate of the metal city: Demon City.

Upon seeing these two characters, a sense of vastness washes over you, making you smell the ancient dust of history.

"Little Lu, Little Meng, over here, over here." Lu Yang and his group landed at the entrance of the demon city and heard the Grand Elder's voice transmission.

Look to the left.

The two turned their heads and saw the First Elder and the Third Elder squatting by the roadside.

The First Elder and the Third Elder were quite conspicuous. The Demon Race passing by glared at them fiercely, but due to the rules of the Demon City, they could not make a move and could only enter the Demon City indignantly.

With the founding ceremony imminent, a fight breaking out near the Demon City would be a slap in the face to the Dijiang Clan. Even if they had a grudge against the Ask Dao Sect, they wouldn't dare to seek revenge or cause trouble at this time.

For this reason, the First Elder and the Third Elder dared to reveal their true colors.

The Demon City has four gates. The Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, and Seventh Elder were guarding the other three gates. After learning that Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had been found at the East Gate, the three elders met up there.

"Five elders, you managed to escape?"

Meng Jingzhou remembered that when they were chasing the five elders, the Demon Race were so angry that they almost burned their Essence Blood. How could they escape under such circumstances?

The Grand Elder stroked his beard and laughed, "The five of us dared to come to the Demon Realm because we were well prepared. If they want to catch up with us, they can do it when they reach the Tribulation Transcendence stage!"

"Five elders, it's been a long time," the third senior sister greeted politely.

"Gan Tian, it's been almost a hundred years since we last met. It seems you've made great progress in the Demon Realm. Among your peers, your cultivation is probably the highest. You've already reached the peak of the Void Refinement. You'll soon catch up with Xiao Dai." The First Elder chuckled. Gan Tian was a diligent and inquisitive girl who often delighted them when she was cultivating at the Ask Dao Sect. She was the complete opposite of the infuriating Ye Zijin.

They're both disciples of the Silent Daoist, so how come there's such a huge difference between them?

"Peak of the Void Refinement?" Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou both showed surprise. They had always thought that their third senior sister was at the Body Integration Realm.

Isn't it said that the Void Refinement stage fluctuates greatly? Why isn't this reflected in Third Senior Sister?

"Of course, she's at the peak of the Void Refinement stage," the Immortal Fairy said lazily. "Didn't you notice that this little girl never did anything herself, but instead used Law Treasure?"

After this reminder, Lu Yang suddenly realized that his third senior sister had always used the ancient zither and animal skin or invisibility talismans along the way, and he had never seen her use Law Technique or similar methods.

"This girl took advantage of the fluctuations in her cultivation level during the Body Integration Realm to inject her Law Power into the Law Treasure and store it in advance, so that the Law Treasure can still be used normally when her cultivation level decreases."

Lu Yang remembered that when he and Lao Meng took the sect entrance exam, Lao Meng brought several magical Law Treasure with pre-stored Law Power, all of which he had brought from home.

"Once you reach the Void Refinement stage, you can try using this method to protect yourself."

Even so, Lu Yang thought that his third senior sister was quite bold. When cultivators were in the Void Refinement stage, they would choose to go into seclusion, live in seclusion, become mortals, take the imperial examination to become officials, or go to jail... In short, they would do whatever was safest.

Unlike Third Senior Sister, who can frolic and jump around in the dangerous demon realm and still have the energy to lead the two of them into tomb archaeology.

Lu Yang had learned some things about the Void Refinement stage. He had heard that the Silent Daoist often spent the weak phase of the Void Refinement stage in prison.

Some of the elders stayed obediently within the sect and never went out.

Many of the senior brothers and sisters chose to pretend to be ordinary people, eating and living with them, and then revealing their cultivation to show off when danger arose.

The methods are not entirely the same.

"How did you spend your time during the Void Refinement stage, Fairy?"

Lu Yang was curious; it was hard to imagine that the Immortal Fairy would go into seclusion and live in seclusion, given her personality.

In High Antiquity times, the situation was chaotic, so the path of pretending to be an ordinary person and ending up in prison was probably not feasible.

"It's simple. Refine a clone. My cultivation level fluctuates, and so does my clone's. Statistically speaking, neither I nor my clone can be at a low point. One of us will always be at a higher level."

Lu Yang considered the situation carefully. "What if you and your clone are both going through a low period?"

The Immortal Fairy thought Lu Yang's question was incredibly stupid and replied matter-of-factly.

"Of course, we should create more clones."

"... That makes sense."

"And this is..." The Grand Elder had already noticed the black-robed man following behind Lu Yang, but he had been busy catching up with old friends and hadn't had a chance to ask about his background.

A cold, clear voice came from beneath the black robe, answering without the slightest hesitation. "Lu Yang is my master..."

Lu Yang, quick-witted and outspoken, immediately said, "This is a newcomer to our Heavenly Court Sect."

The concept of the Heavenly Court was a fabrication created by the Five Immortals of High Antiquity to deceive later generations, and Jiang Lianyi had naturally heard of the term Heavenly Court.

Furthermore, since the Immortal Fairy was the ruler of the Heavenly Court, she readily agreed when Lu Yang invited her to join the Heavenly Court Sect.

Regarding the issue of addressing each other as "senior brother," the Immortal Fairy insisted that Lu Yang was inner disciple and Jiang Lianyi was a Registered Disciple, so Lu Yang was considered Lu Yang as senior brother, while Lu Yang insisted that Jiang Lianyi was a senior.

It can only be said that each person has their own principles.

"A new person has arrived?" The Seventh Elder was delighted. He trusted Lu Yang's judgment; the person he brought into the Heavenly Court Sect was definitely trustworthy.

The Seventh Elder paced back and forth, speaking in an air of superiority, "I joined the Heavenly Court Sect earlier than you, so I'm your senior. If you encounter anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."

"The same principle applies to cultivation; I have quite a bit of experience in this area."

Meng Jingzhou: "..."

Third Senior Sister: "..."

"Good."

The second update will be at 11 PM.
