The old Celestial Master was surprised, saying that eliminating the Quanxing Sect was a good thing!
There's no need for you to come and inform me, is there?
I'm just worried that it will cause too much of a commotion.
If you feel that the commotion is too great and you take out the "Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal", it will cause some delays.
Old Master: "..."
Just how big of a commotion are you trying to cause?!
The old master recalled some rumors and raised an eyebrow.
"Was it really true that Shen Chong refused back then?"
Chapter 91: You don't want to become a Celestial Master, do you?
Lu Xuan: "?"
Who started this rumor in the first place?
Are they still using such an old trope? Is there nothing new in the world of supernatural beings?
"Rumor has it that Shen Chong refused to obey, which caused you to have a grudge against the Four Madmen, so you've been chasing after them all this time..."
The old master read aloud while scrolling through news about extraordinary people on his phone.
"There's another one that says you just wanted to wipe out the Quanxing Sect and farm the achievement 'Slaying the Four Madmen' and 'Slaying Demons in the Jiazi Year,' oh! And there's more here..."
"There's also a rumor that you came to participate in the Luotian Grand Ceremony to seize Longhu Mountain, oust me from my position, and take over as the Celestial Master."
Lu Xuan: "..."
Looking at the "up-to-date" old master with his gossipy expression.
Lu Xuan looked helpless.
"You don't actually think I'm doing this to boost some keyword ranking, do you?"
"How can it be……"
The old master shook his head with a profound expression; how could he be someone who would readily believe rumors?
Then he asked, "So, are you going to kill Dou Mei?"
Lu Xuan said succinctly: "Yes."
"Didn't you just say you were going to deal with the Quanxing?"
The old master nodded with a profound and satisfied expression. "That's right."
No wonder you mentioned the Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal!
The old celestial master seemed to be deep in thought.
Taoism has the saying of thirty-six grotto-heavens and seventy-two blessed lands. This does not mean that the grotto-heavens and blessed lands are really the legendary fairylands. Rather, these are places where the earth's veins flow, and various schools of Taoism can regulate the earth's veins and seasons through the grotto-heavens and blessed lands.
The Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal is the most treasured artifact of the Zhengyi lineage. It is said to have the power to command ghosts and gods, although whether this is true or not is unknown, since there are no ghosts or gods in this world.
But this magical artifact, passed down through the Zhengyi sect for thousands of years, does indeed possess immense power. It carries the function of regulating the earth's veins in Longhu Mountain. How can you deal with Quanxing and still affect Longhu Mountain?
The old master pondered for a long time and discerned some traces.
"The Yellow Millet Technique?"
"You've really taken the Yellow Millet Technique to an extreme; you hardly look like a sword cultivator anymore!"
"What are you saying? Why don't you give it a try?"
"What, you want to test your skills against this old man?"
"Please advise me!"
As they talked, the atmosphere gradually warmed up.
At that moment, the Celestial Master summoned heavenly lightning, but Lu Xuan's eyes lit up and he threw a bunch of peach wood swords at it, which made the Celestial Master calm down in anger.
Furthermore, the old Celestial Master had already made up his mind and didn't continue to entangle with Lu Xuan...
As he snapped out of his reverie, the old master sighed.
In just two days, Lu Xuan's words that "things cannot be done" have come true, and the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony that he had painstakingly organized has come to nothing.
Now, apart from providing a platform for Lu Xuan to use his skills, the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony seems to have no other purpose.
The old celestial master looked up at Lu Xuan, growing angrier the more he looked.
Lu Xuan's arrogance and confidence reminded me of my younger self.
"Sigh! It seems like this is all we can do now..."
The old Celestial Master shook his head and sighed, "My position as the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain is now unwanted."
Lu Xuan has already decided who will win the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, and Zhang Chulan has also made his stance clear. The Old Master can't force him to change his mind.
Now that things have come to this, let nature take its course regarding the champion of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony!
As he pondered, the old master's gaze toward Lu Xuan gradually took on a deeper meaning.
"Lu Xuan, whose surname did you take after again?"
"My surname is Lu... um?"
Lu Xuan sensed a slight danger.
His eyes narrowed slightly: "Old Celestial Master, I have no intention of taking the surname Zhang!"
"What are you talking about? If you want to be a Heavenly Master, you'll have to win the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony first."
"By the way, Lu Xuan..."
The old master rolled up his sleeves as he spoke.
"What did you tell me during our last meeting?"
Lu Xuan saw through the mystery at a glance.
"Old Celestial Master, you wouldn't be trying to bully me, your junior, would you?"
"how come……"
The old Celestial Master shook his head with a kind and benevolent expression. As the Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain, and the leader of the entire Zhengyi sect, how could he possibly bully a junior?
“But you are a descendant of Lü Zu, and according to the lineage, I am your junior.”
Lu Xuan continued to see through him: "Old Celestial Master, you wouldn't be taking your anger out on me because your plan for the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony failed, would you?"
"How is that possible?"
The old Celestial Master remained kind and gentle.
"I am at most a junior, and I am here to learn from you, my senior."
The two smiled at each other, their smiles utterly sincere.
"Shall we spar a couple of times?"
"Please enlighten me, Celestial Master."
After the words were spoken, a moment of silence fell over the room.
The next moment! Lightning and sword light suddenly erupted.
As a mighty bolt of lightning ripped through the night, the figures of the Old Celestial Master and Lu Xuan vanished simultaneously.
The old Celestial Master couldn't possibly be truly angry with Lu Xuan over the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. As the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, he wasn't petty enough to hold a grudge.
Just like how Lu Xuan wouldn't be afraid of the Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal that regulates the earth's veins if he really used the Yellow Millet Technique to cover Longhu Mountain.
There was a mutual appreciation between the two of them, as well as a sense of admiration between fellow practitioners.
What would happen if two people, both so arrogant that they look down on everyone else and can't tolerate anyone else but themselves, admired each other?
That would naturally lead to a direct clash based on the principles they both pursue.
Lu Xuan wanted to use the treasure land of Longhu Mountain to take over the dominant position in the Quanxing layout.
Longhu Mountain is the ancestral home of the Celestial Master's Mansion of the Zhengyi Sect. Lu Xuan can't just be used whenever he wants. The old Celestial Master naturally has to verify Lu Xuan's abilities. This is also a way of showing his position.
This battle is omitted (37882 words)...
Of course it's fake.
Before my eyes was a familiar mountain range, its ridges and contours winding forward like a tiger crouching and a dragon coiling. As the poem says: "Azure waters and crimson clouds crouch like tigers and dragons, a blessed land where immortals are hidden."
This is...Longhu Mountain?
The old master rolled his eyes slightly. Just now he was asking for guidance, and now he's created a Dragon Tiger Mountain using a dream?
Lu Xuan's expression was very serious.
Don't misunderstand, this is just a normal venue for sparring and matches.
"Old Celestial Master, would you please go first?"
Lu Xuan was very respectful of the elderly and kind to the young.
The old master said softly, "You're a junior, so let you go first!"
That being the case...
Lu Xuan nodded: "Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Lu Xuan raised his hand and made a grasping motion, his fingers and palms seemingly holding the entire world in his grasp.
Then, using heaven and earth as a sword, he slashed the entire world's power towards the Old Celestial Master.
The power of heaven and earth is formless, yet at this moment it is held in Lu Xuan's hand as a sword.
Lu Xuan created this dream world using the Yellow Millet Technique. He is the master of this dream world, and he sets all the rules and truths in this world.
At this moment, he grasped this entire world, and what he slashed was the sword of heaven and earth.
The sword light flashed and the overwhelming atmosphere engulfed everything in sight.
It felt as if the entire world was crashing down on him.
