Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 1056 - 1055: The Immortal, Flexible Yet Resilient
Yun Mengmeng recalled the deeds of the Second-in-command over the past years and concluded that wherever he went, trouble seemed to follow.
When the Second-in-command returned to the Seek Dao Sect, the sect remained safe and undisturbed.
"Wait, I heard that our sect had also encountered problems," Yun Mengmeng recalled what Yun Zhi had mentioned about two incidents, "The second Imperial Teacher of Great Yu and the Master of All Laws both infiltrated our sect. Doesn’t that mean the fate of our Seek Dao Sect is not strong enough?"
"Merely two overconfident Semi-Immortals, are they even worth mentioning?" Fairy Eternity scoffed dismissively at the two, one unable to defeat the Fourth Housekeeper, and the other losing to the Vast Sea Daoist Lord, hardly stirring a ripple.
"It does seem that was the case," Yun Mengmeng loyally trusted everything her Chief Housekeeper said.
"Second-in-command, what are you thinking about?" Yun Mengmeng noticed Lu Yang was lost in thought and had not interjected throughout the conversation.
Lu Yang snapped back to reality, "I was thinking, as the Tofu Heavenly Venerate who thwarted Great Qian’s plot and saved the Western Paradise Temple, relying solely on rumors and storytelling to spread such significant deeds—isn’t the efficiency too low?"
"Furthermore, with frequent major events in the cultivation world, the commonfolk lack an official channel to learn about these occurrences, which is not conducive to broadening their horizons."
Blinking her eyes, Yun Mengmeng eagerly awaited the Second-in-command’s enlightening answer, wanting to say that the world of cultivation didn’t seem to change so much before he appeared. However, she felt it would be rather inappropriate to bring that up now.
"Have you ever heard of ’newspapers’?"
"Mm, it’s a type of paper, right? With news about recent events in the cultivation world written on it," Lu Yang tried to explain the concept of newspapers to Yun Mengmeng in the simplest terms.
"But many people can’t read, can they?"
"Not being able to read is no issue—we can add a reading Array Method to the newspapers."
"But the cultivation world is so vast, wouldn’t distributing newspapers everywhere take a lot of time?"
"We can ask for the help of the Vast Sea Ancestral Master. We could ask that elder to set up a few spatial passages."
The more he spoke, the more feasible Lu Yang found the idea and he immediately set out, dragging Yun Mengmeng along to find the Vast Sea Daoist Lord.
Unfortunately, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord was not at the sect; according to the Grandmaster Daoist Xiantian’s guess, he had gone to the East Sea to rendezvous with his old flame, Ao Ya.
Lu Yang also felt that Ancestor Vast Sea had indeed gone to the East Sea to see an old lover without needing Daoist Xiantian’s guess.
With Yun Mengmeng leading the way, the duo traveled unhindered across the surface of the East Sea, encountering no Sea Clan who dared to block their passage and declare their territory a no-fly zone.
This was Yun Mengmeng’s first visit to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, and she salivated at the sight of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, who were unaware of her thoughts and felt a deep, instinctive fear.
Ao Ling was not in the East Sea, but knowing that Lu Yang was Ao Ling’s honored guest, the Old Dragon Emperor warmly received him.
With the Old Dragon Emperor’s assistance, Lu Yang waited a whole two days before he finally saw the Vast Sea Ancestral Master gracelessly staggering out of Ao Ya’s bedroom, leaning on the wall.
When the Vast Sea Daoist Lord saw it was Lu Yang, he made an effort to straighten his back and put on a solemn face.
Lu Yang, acting oblivious to the Ancestor’s recent activities, explained his purpose for coming. Realizing it was a matter beneficial to the people, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord readily agreed.
"Establishing spatial passages is easy, and paper is not a problem," Great Xia was not in need of paper, the Dynasty had its own paper-making institution, which did not require cultivators; mortals could complete the task.
"The issue is how do you plan to mass-produce the newspapers? Will you use the printing technique, and how will you replicate the voice, then?"
"I can do that," Yun Mengmeng excitedly raised her hand, pulling out a row of brushes from her Storage Ring, equally spaced.
"When my grandmother punished me by making me copy books, I used this. It speeds up the process by ten times!" It was a treasure from her cherished childhood.
Lu Yang already had a solution: "Great Yu National Preceptor Guan Shanhai has the Imprinting Dao Fruit, and with his abilities, copying mere newspapers should not be a problem."
"Allowing him to regain mastery over the Imprinting Dao Fruit is somewhat dangerous, but since he was able to comprehend the Imprinting Dao Fruit, it’s clear he must be proficient in such magic skills, just give him a speck of spiritual essence, and let him use magic skills to copy it."
"Guan Shanhai has nothing to do all day at Captive Peak, and our Seek Dao Sect, worried he might be lonely by himself, specifically captured a group of prisoners to keep him company. It’s only right that he contributes to our Sect."
Vast Sea Daoist Lord looked at Lu Yang with a strange expression. Is our Sect really that good to Guan Shanhai? Why have I heard that he still has some matters unresolved and that Yun Zhi whips him periodically?
"Then, Ancestor, you go ahead with your tasks. Oh right, if you’re running short on Yang Qi, I suggest you work more with Old Meng, since his blood contains a very rich amount of Yang Qi.
The only problem is his low cultivation level; once his cultivation level goes up, your problem will be solved." As his close friend, Lu Yang didn’t forget to put in a good word for Meng Jingzhou in front of the Ancestor.
"That’s right." Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s eyes lit up, he worked every day urging Elixir Cauldron Peak to produce elixirs, how could he forget about the Meng Family kid.
Vast Sea Daoist Lord directly opened a spatial channel, taking Lu Yang and Yun Mengmeng back to the Seek Dao Sect.
Upon returning to the Seek Dao Sect, they immediately went to find Meng Jingzhou to see how the Meng Family kid’s cultivation was coming along.
Lu Yang and Yun Mengmeng, on the other hand, headed to Captive Peak.
Upon entering Captive Peak, they heard a group of prisoners intensely discussing something.
"Hey, hey, hey, can you write the cultivation technique like this? At best, this will only allow one to cultivate to the Early Tribulation Stage."
"The cultivation technique should be written as I say, guaranteeing cultivation up to the Middle Tribulation Stage."
"Does your cultivation technique even match Mo Xiaochou’s constitution to listen to your method?"
"That’s simple, after he goes out, just follow my method for taking elixirs, and it’s guaranteed to raise his physique by a notch."
In his lifetime, Mo Xiaochou never imagined he would be surrounded by a group of Transcendance Tribulation Stage prisoners discussing how to make his cultivation better, no, not just Transcendance Tribulation Stage, there were even Semi-Immortals among them.
At the end of Captive Peak were legendary Immortals, who rarely spoke, but when they did, their words had the effect of finality.
Suddenly, all the prisoners at Captive Peak fell silent. Even though Lu Yang hadn’t entered Captive Peak yet, they all had a premonition that Lu Yang was coming.
Sure enough, Lu Yang really did come to Captive Peak again.
"What brings you here again, kid?" The child Grandmaster was startled. Wasn’t it just a few days ago he came over? Has the speed of capturing increased to a daily basis now?
"I’m here to find Guan Shanhai."
"Oh, just walk straight ahead to the end." The child Grandmaster trusted Lu Yang completely, not even asking what he intended to do.
Lu Yang and Yun Mengmeng walked to the end and saw Guan Shanhai reduced to a mere prisoner.
"Chap Lu, what business do you have with me?"
Lu Yang did not hide his intentions and explained his thoughts to Guan Shanhai.
Guan Shanhai snorted coldly, his gaze sharp as he stood up, staring intently into Lu Yang’s eyes.
"Do you know that my Imprinting Dao Fruit, when cultivated to the extreme, can be used to create worlds? Those created under the influence of the Dao Fruit may not even be aware of how they came to be!"
"And now you want me to use the Imprinting Dao Fruit for such trivial matters, where should an Immortal’s dignity lie?"
Lu Yang said earnestly, "Then how about I ask Eldest Senior Sister to speak with you?"
"But then again," Guan Shanhai continued, "helping others for joy and benefiting the people does not diminish an Immortal’s dignity."
