"What are you thinking about?" Lu Yang asked. Meng Jingzhou was crouched on the ground, deep in thought, as if pondering some profound question.
Meng Jingzhou craned his neck to look up at Lu Yang. "I was wondering which consort Li Junior Brother married in his sixth life. Did she later become empress? If she did, then she'd be an ancestor of the current emperor."
Lu Yang: "..."
Emperor Xia was nearing the end of his lifespan, and you were out here finding him an ancestor?
"Junior Brother Li, you just broke through, so you still need to consolidate your cultivation. I won't disturb you any longer." Li Haoran had shared everything he knew, and Senior Sister had gotten the answer she wanted. There was no need to keep Li Haoran from his cultivation.

Lu Yang sat cross-legged on a sword-shaped stone. Beside him was a naturally formed stone pool: the Sword-Washing Pool that had latched onto him.
Seven long swords swam through the pool like seven lively, cheerful fish.
Feeling his connection to the Seven-Star Sword Group grow clearer, Lu Yang snapped his eyes open and raised two fingers. The Seven-Star Sword Group leaped out of the pool, gleaming in the sunlight and responding readily to his control.
Lu Yang let out a long breath. He had finally established a connection with the Seven-Star Sword Group.
He carefully took out the first layer of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation. This was a genuine immortal artifact. Wherever it appeared, it could stir up a bloody storm. It was precious beyond measure.
"My things are precious too. Why don't you treat them with such care?" The Undying Fairy thought this was blatant favoritism. Even Yun could take down that immortal, so it was easy to
