Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 1057 - 1056: Bystander Lu

Publishing a newspaper was indeed a major event, not something that Lu Yang could decide alone.

Although Lu Yang had already prepared every aspect, he still needed the approval of the Eldest Senior Sister to make the final decision.

"A newspaper? Good idea, I support it," Yun Zhi quickly understood the importance of the newspaper after a brief consideration—it was an excellent channel for enlightening the masses and spreading knowledge.

"Do we need Guan Shanhai to use his imprinting ability? I’ll threaten him to do it," Yun Zhi asked, also recognizing Guan Shanhai’s crucial role in the making of the newspaper.

In her memory, Guan Shanhai was a prisoner of considerable resilience, never confessing no matter how he was beaten.

"Guan Shanhai has already agreed to help," Lu Yang said.

Yun Zhi nodded in surprise, "Quite cooperative, that does save trouble."

"Have you thought of a name for the newspaper?"

"Considering this is our first attempt at creating and distributing, and not knowing how the people will react to the content, it’s not appropriate to publish too frequently. We’ve temporarily settled on a monthly publication, how about calling it ’Cultivation Monthly’?"

Lu Yang also planned to adjust the content of the newspaper timely based on the feedback from the people, to cater to their needs.

Yun Zhi had no objections, as her junior brother’s naming skills had always been like this, no need to be overly critical.

"But Second-in-command, can we name the newspaper ’Great Bean Monthly’?" Yun Mengmeng suddenly realized not only was she the Third Boss of the Immortal Lineage but also the Minister of Rites for the Great Bean Dynasty, which came with the responsibility of promotion.

"Ah, that’s a good name." Fairy Eternity clapped her hands in approval, seeing it as a perfect opportunity to promote their Great Bean Dynasty.

Seeing the reaction, Lu Yang quickly placed his hands in his sleeves and bowed, "Your Majesty is thoroughly dedicated to the prosperity of the dynasty, and we are deeply impressed by your efforts."

"Being a newly established kingdom, from ancient times any power with ambitions has gone through a period of laying low before openly rebelling with an uprising. Currently, with many official positions in the Great Bean Dynasty remaining vacant and a shortage of manpower and military force, extensively publicizing the dynasty could be acting hastily.

This matter requires further careful planning, waiting for the right opportunity. I hope Your Majesty will consider this thoroughly!"

Fairy Eternity, feeling confused, did not grasp the meaning of Lu Yang’s words, "Then let’s just follow your advice, Little Yang."

Overjoyed at her response, Lu Yang bowed again, "Your Majesty is wise."

Yun Zhi, who had been listening, wanted to ask her junior brother exactly what position he held in the Great Bean Dynasty, but she worried that after asking, the Immortal Senior might remember her and assign her a position as well—so she decided to temporarily put aside her curiosity and instead asked about the newspaper.

"Junior brother, have you thought about the content of the newspaper?"

Lu Yang had already had a general idea about the newspaper content on his way here: "I’ve heard that many people still don’t understand even the basic levels of cultivation. I’m thinking about providing a detailed introduction to cultivation knowledge in the first issue, along with a few Qi Cultivation Mantras."

The public most commonly encountered Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators; for the higher Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage, they were only aware of the concepts but not the might and disparity of each realm. Since we’re telling cultivation stories, it is natural to first let the people understand the basic concepts of cultivation.

"Another thing is about the significant events in the Cultivation World, such as the recent battle at the Western Paradise Temple."

"If there are any good stories, we could also serialize them in the newspaper..."

Lu Yang carefully explained the functions of each section of the newspaper, and Yun Zhi nodded frequently, seeing that her junior brother had given this much thought.

Yun Mengmeng watched Lu Yang with admiration as well, considering how thorough the Second-in-command was—she could not have thought of all these details herself.

Afterward, Lu Yang found the Third Elder’s eldest disciple, Ji Hongwen. Brother Ji specialized in the art of painting, and Lu Yang asked him to design the layout for the newspaper.

Ji Hongwen gladly agreed.

"Oh right, leave a gap in the middle of the newspaper; I’m going to use it to advertise for Junior Sister Tao," Lu Yang added a small request.

After all, it was the first edition of the newspaper, and there were no other advertisers, so it might as well benefit their own people.

The newspaper production process was roughly straightened out. Now, the challenge Lu Yang faced was how to describe the battle at Western Paradise Temple objectively and fairly without revealing his identity.

An idea struck Lu Yang, "That’s it, the battle caused such a commotion, and the people of Western Heaven City witnessed it all. I can write from the perspective of a bystander, as if I were interviewing myself."

Lu Yang was brimming with inspiration and quickly wrote a report on the battle at Western Paradise Temple, filling in the other sections with content as well.

He then handed the original newspaper to Guan Shanhai, who was a master of the Imprinting Dao Fruit. In the blink of an eye, Guan Shanhai had copied millions of copies of the newspaper, and even the voice broadcast array method was replicated, significantly reducing the production cost of the newspaper.

By reducing production costs, the price of the newspaper dropped, making it affordable for the common folk.

Lu Yang’s purpose in publishing the newspaper wasn’t profit but propaganda.

The disciples of the Seek Dao Sect, through the spatial passage, sold the first edition of "Cultivation Weekly" throughout Great Xia.

"...According to investigations, at the beginning of the fight at Western Paradise Temple, there were two combatants. One was Si Chen, the God Lord of Great Qian, while the other’s identity remains a mystery. Our report speculates, based on hints and whispers, that the latter might be a Mysterious Immortal from Ancient Times, reluctant to engage in the fight."

"As stated by the onlooker I, Lu, the Mysterious Immortal initially intended to spare the life of Si Chen, the God Lord. However, Si Chen provoked the Mysterious Immortal upon seeing him and even questioned the Immortal’s literacy, asking if he knew how to write."

"The Mysterious Immortal, with no other choice, engaged in combat. The Mysterious Immortal’s profound understanding of Dao and swordmanship overwhelmed Si Chen, decisively defeating him in mere moments, forcing him to kneel and beg for mercy."

"An avatar of the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord appeared on the scene and, without questioning the right or wrong, simply stated ’What Si Chen did was wrong,’ hoping the Mysterious Immortal would spare Si Chen’s life."

"Afterward, the Emperor’s avatar, realizing the Mysterious Immortal was entangled in causality and could not utilize full power, was still unsure whether he could match him in combat."

"To fight the Mysterious Immortal, the Emperor’s avatar devoured Si Chen, the God Lord, leaving his fate unknown as he was not seen after the battle ended."

"During the fight between the Mysterious Immortal and the Emperor’s avatar, an explosion occurred for unknown reasons, and the scene became too chaotic to determine who caused it. The onlooker I, Lu stated that he heard the Emperor’s avatar laugh amidst the explosion and shout something about ’self-detonation.’

"After the explosion, Western Paradise Temple lay in ruins, the Emperor’s avatar was nowhere to be seen, and the Mysterious Immortal left gracefully." ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"Upon further investigation by our newspaper, we discovered that Si Chen, the God Lord, had been lurking in Western Paradise Temple for over a hundred years, hiding beside a young monk, and it remains unclear if he had any special preferences."

Inside the Fairy Palace, the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord, sitting on his celestial throne, held the newly delivered newspaper, reading it word by word. He trembled with rage, angrier than he had been in a long time.

The Mid-heaven Emperor Lord clenched his teeth in fury, tore the newspaper to shreds, and furiously struck his celestial throne. His angry voice echoed throughout the Fairy Palace.

"Who the hell wrote this!"
