Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 468: First arrival at the imperial city

Great Xia Palace.

The Emperor of Xia and the leaders of the four major immortal sects were restless, unable to sit or stand comfortably. Despite having held numerous meetings, this was the first time they encountered such a situation.

Lu Yang sat in the seat of the Seek Tao Sect's leader, with Yun Zhi standing behind him, looking every bit the subordinate.

With Yun Zhi standing, who would dare to sit?

The Immortal Fairy dared.

After all, the one invited to the meeting was the acting leader of the Seek Tao Sect, and the Immortal Fairy was the acting leader.

As the foremost of the five ancient immortals, what was wrong with her sitting here?

Not to mention sitting here, even sitting on the throne would be normal.

Lu Yang, who was in the mental space, did not have the Immortal Fairy's level of composure.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Lu Yang was no exception. He had always dreamed of visiting the imperial capital to see the different cultivation landscapes.

He just didn't expect to come so quickly.

Originally, he thought he would enter the imperial capital quietly, but his inadvertent actions led him into a conspiracy. After resolving the conspiracy, he found himself in the midst of political strife, vying for power and the throne. Using his wits, he navigated the whirlpool and eventually caught the attention of the Emperor of Xia.

He was summoned to court, where his enemies accused him of treason. The Emperor of Xia waved his hand, gave the enemies a meaningful look, and declared that Lu Yang, as a disciple of Bu Yu Taoist, could never commit treason. The enemies were shocked, the ministers were shocked, and the cultivators in the imperial capital were shocked.

Thus, he naturally made a name for himself.

That was the normal process.

He didn't expect to skip the process and meet the Emperor of Xia directly in the palace.

"Daoist Yun, please sit," the Emperor of Xia said with a forced smile.

Yun Zhi shook her head and declined, "I am just an ordinary disciple of the Seek Tao Sect. How could I have the right to sit? This is Sect Master Lu, our acting leader."

The Emperor of Xia: "..."

An ordinary disciple of the Seek Tao Sect, indeed.

"This Sect Master Lu is the Lu Yang mentioned in the meeting half a month ago?" The Emperor of Xia asked knowingly. Half a month ago, it was mentioned that the Heavenly Court Sect was founded by a young talent named Lu Yang.

He didn't expect that in just half a month, this young talent had risen to be his equal.

Lu Yang secretly observed the Emperor of Xia in the mental space. This human emperor, the leader of the righteous path, did not have the rumored aura of ruthlessness and decisiveness, nor did he have the scholarly air of a literati. His temples were graying, and his cheeks were slightly sunken, indicating a lack of vitality and energy.

Without knowing his identity, no one would guess that this Emperor of Xia was called the eternal emperor.

Perhaps the Emperor of Xia once had both a ruthless and scholarly aura, but now, after exhausting his lifespan, he was no longer as glorious as before.

"You've met the Emperor of Xia, and you also know Sect Master Qiu." Before the meeting, the eldest senior sister introduced Lu Yang and also introduced the Immortal Fairy.

"This is Daoist Luo Hongxia, the Palace Master of the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace and Lan Ting's master. She previously brought Lan Ting to propose marriage."

Luo Hongxia's eye twitched. She really wasn't there to propose marriage last time.

She looked at Lu Yang, who had a fair and clean appearance. This boy was the Lu Yang that Lan Ting had been pining for? He didn't look as good as Lan Ting had described.

Thinking back to how Lan Ting had enthusiastically described Lu Yang's prowess after returning from the Qingzhou Festival, she couldn't help but feel annoyed.

She snorted coldly, not giving Lu Yang a good look.

"Why the sour face? Did you eat something bad?"

"This is Yang Ding, the Sect Master of the Suppress Hell Sect."

"Hello." Yang Ding had no hostility towards Lu Yang.

Although Lu Yang was a disciple of Bu Yu Taoist, he was also Yun Zhi's junior brother. The positives and negatives canceled each other out, so there was no hostility.

"This is Master Jie Sha of the Floating Temple, currently practicing the Silent Meditation." The eldest senior sister introduced the only Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator present.

Master Jie Sha's body was emaciated, and the robe passed down through generations of the Floating Temple hung loosely on him. His eyelids drooped, and he held prayer beads, nodding silently.

The Immortal Fairy was slightly surprised. It was her first time seeing a high monk of the Buddhist sect. She didn't expect that the Buddhist sect, which the five ancient immortals had fabricated, had actually produced some real results, and even innovated upon them.

The wisdom of later generations was indeed not to be underestimated, no less than hers.

The Immortal Fairy frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yang asked.

"Someone is spying on us, probably the master of the power of a nation's fate." The Immortal Fairy's counter-surveillance awareness was strong, after all, she could track the five ancient immortals.

Lu Yang understood. It was likely an immortal from the imperial court keeping an eye on them, which was normal.

Just as the Emperor of Xia was about to speak, the eldest senior sister spoke first, "After returning to the sect, I visited several seniors. One of them, a knowledgeable senior, pointed out a method to break through the lifespan limit and extend life."

"What method?" The others had not found a way to help the Emperor of Xia solve his predicament after returning to their sects.

"In ancient times, there was a heaven and earth spiritual root, a peach tree. Consuming its peaches could extend life. However, this spiritual root could move, and its current whereabouts are unknown."

"Is there really such a thing?" The others were moved, having never heard of the heaven and earth spiritual root. The Seek Tao Sect's foundation was indeed terrifying.

"I will send people to search for it." The Emperor of Xia was the first to calm down. There was no rush for this matter; finding it depended on fate.

He then brought up another important matter, "The Great Yu cultivators' plot in Ji State has been uncovered. Your sect's Bu Yu Taoist was the first to discover it. To save the common people, he entered the fray, split the heavens with a sword, broke the Great Yu's Tribulation Crossing stage rules, fought with the Great Yu's Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator, outwitted him, and sent a signal, holding on until Palace Master Chen Tao and the immortal sects arrived. He then helped Palace Master Chen Tao capture the Great Yu's Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator."

"This act drew applause, and Palace Master Chen Tao and the elders of the immortal sects greatly admired Bu Yu Taoist's actions and planned to commend him. Bu Yu Taoist, however, retreated after his success, and no one could find him despite several searches."

The people present had strange expressions. They had heard the elders' reports about the events in Dingxin City, Ji State, and this seemed to differ somewhat from the reports.

"Who wrote this report?" Qiu Jin'an was puzzled. Had a spy from the Seek Tao Sect infiltrated the imperial court?

This report had elevated Bu Yu Taoist to the heavens.

The Emperor of Xia said with a dark face, "A popular folktale, 'Legend of the Seek Tao Sect.'"

Qiu Jin'an: "..."

Everyone looked at Lu Yang and Yun Zhi, the meaning clear: Bu Yu Taoist is one of yours, always spreading rumors. What do you plan to do about it?

The Immortal Fairy, ever so clever, responded with Yun Zhi's words, "I was appointed as the acting leader by the sect master. I can't control the sect master."

"So?"

"So, I can write a letter suggesting the sect master abdicate and let me take over. Then I can control him."

The second update will be at eleven o'clock.
