Who Let Him Cultivate?!
Chapter 1232 - 1231 Fengdu

Lu Yang mentioned the spatial projection to Meng Jingzhou, who suddenly realized what was happening.

"Spatial projection? This is actually the first time I'm hearing about it."

"No wonder Junior Brother Man thought it was a haunting."

Spatial projections were visible but intangible, and each time one appeared, Man Gu's cultivation level would fluctuate to a very low state, preventing him from making an accurate judgment.

Whether it was a haunting or spatial projection didn't matter anymore; after laying in wait for so long, they had finally found the main event.

"Fairy, is there a way to enter this space?"

Lu Yang was a cultivator who knew his own limitations, aware that he was not adept at the art of space and needed to consult an expert.

"It's quite simple, really. This space doesn't seem very stable. You could just strike a slash at the crack with a sword, or the Meng Family Kid could throw a punch, and that would create an opening."

"Is there another method?"

A twitch ran through the corner of Lu Yang's eye; he merely wanted to inform the space's owner to patch up the crack so as not to frighten people with these spatial projections.

If he were to attack with a sword and Old Meng with a punch, then tell the master of the space that there was a fissure, that would be no different than provocation.

"Self-detonation would also work, and make an even larger opening."

"Any methods that don't create openings?"

Fairy Eternity spread her hands: "Then I can only ask you to have the Vast Sea Ancestral Master pick the lock."

Lu Yang scratched his head in some difficulty. Technically, both he and Old Meng were at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, nearly at the peak of their powers. It was somewhat embarassing that they would need to call on an Ancestor for help when facing difficulties.

After Lu Yang explained the situation, Meng Jingzhou also felt embarassed.

Just as the two were considering other approaches, they both felt a warmth in their chests. Upon checking, they saw that it was a message from Mu Baiyi, sent through the Jiuyou Order.

"This year, after years of effort, Fengdu is finally complete, towering and magnificent, interfacing with the heavens and the earth, sharing existence with the nether. This event is a once-in-a-millennium occasion, stirring attention from all corners. We hereby set the celebration for the completion of Fengdu on July 15, and on behalf of the entire Jiuyou Sect, we sincerely invite the Young Sect Master to grace the event."

"Entrance location: Great Xia Desolate State Zhongshan County's 'Come Again BBQ Shop.'"

The two silently put away the Jiuyou Order.

It seemed they now knew who the owner of the space was, so there was no need to trouble the Vast Sea Ancestral Master for help.

"If I remember correctly, has the Jiuyou Sect always dreamed of establishing Fengdu?" Lu Yang had heard from Li Haoran about the significance of Fengdu to the Jiuyou Sect, but constructing Fengdu was too costly, and Qin Haoran had always disagreed with the initiative during his tenure.

Now that the barbecue shop and solar energy business continued to grow stronger, they finally had the funds to construct Fengdu.

Thinking about it, Lu Yang could be considered one of the founders of Fengdu.

"July 15? So that's in seven days?"

Now that they knew the reason behind the hauntings, there was no need for them to patrol every night.

After informing Man Gu about Fengdu, Man Gu was quite surprised; he had said there was something sinister about the haunting incidents, and it turned out to be this.

"Will the two Senior Brothers be going?"

Lu Yang smiled, "This is a major event happening in our jurisdiction; naturally, we should take a look."

Seven days later, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou changed their appearances to that of the Young Sect Master Lu and the Dragon Saint and arrived at the Zhongshan County branch of the 'Come Again BBQ Shop.'

Mu Baiyi stood at the entrance of the barbecue shop, eagerly anticipating, and finally his wait was over as the two men arrived.

"Young Master Lu, Dragon Saint, it's been a while since we've seen each other."

To Mu Baiyi, these two were no less than lifesavers. The barbecue shop not only helped him pay off his loans but also supported the establishment of Fengdu.

Alongside Mu Baiyi, the higher-ups of the Jiuyou Sect were there to greet the two men, showing their respect and recognition for the Heavenly Court Sect.

"I have long heard of the great names of Young Sect Master Lu and Dragon Saint," said the Grand Elder of the Yaoyang Sect, Liu Zhen, upon their first meeting. "This is my first time meeting you."

In the Extreme Northern Lands, Lu Yang and his companion had previously met Liu Zhen with their true identities, but they had not yet met him while assuming their roles within the Heavenly Court Sect.

Mu Baiyi hesitantly asked, "May I know where your Protectors are? Could they make an appearance? Ah, of course, if it's not convenient, then never mind."

In his memory, every time he met Young Sect Master Lu and the Dragon Saint, there were always Protectors by their side. Why were they absent today? Was it because they were very confident in their surroundings at the Jiuyou Sect?

Lu Yang and his companion simply smiled, and a terrifying aura enveloped the entire barbecue restaurant.

"Does Sect Leader Mu think we still need Protectors now?"

Mu Baiyi, Chi Sect Leader, and Liu Zhen suddenly felt as though they were suffocating, staring at Lu Yang and his companion in disbelief.

They were all at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage—to be able to exert such oppressive force that made them feel suffocated was impressive.

"Pass Tribulation Peak?!"

Upon first meeting, they had discovered they could not see through the Cultivation Levels of Young Sect Master Lu and the Dragon Saint, but they hadn't thought much of it, assuming it was due to magic artifacts that hid their true strength.

They hadn't considered the possibility that it might be at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. After all, considering their youth, even prodigies like Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou would be at the Early Tribulation Stage at most.

Had these two actually ascended to the Pass Tribulation Peak without any signs?

Was this the legacy of the Heavenly Court Sect?

No wonder Protectors were unnecessary; with such a Cultivation Level, they could roam the world with impunity.

People often debated who was stronger between Lu Yang and the Young Sect Master Lu. As the years passed, with the Young Sect Master Lu seldom active and Lu Yang creating various legends in the Cultivation World, people gradually leaned toward the view that Lu Yang was stronger than the Young Sect Master Lu.

Even people like Mu Baiyi thought so.

Today, the truth was revealed: Young Sect Master Lu's infrequent activity was due to his intense Cultivation in seclusion.

While everyone thought Lu Yang was the pinnacle among Geniuses, it turned out Young Sect Master Lu's talents far surpassed Lu Yang's!

Liu Zhen felt that he had lived his years in vain.

"Please come inside," they said as the two retracted their aura, and Mu Baiyi quickly invited them into the Fengdu Space, his attitude even more enthusiastic than before.

In the courtyard of the barbecue restaurant stood a swirling Spatial Gate.

As they walked through the Spatial Gate, the scene changed from light to dark; the Fengdu Space was dimly lit, casting an oppressive atmosphere.

The Fengdu Space was vast, with various buildings forming a city greater than Zhongshan County, its scale grand enough to rival that of the Imperial City.

No wonder Junior Brother Li said that building Fengdu was expensive; just from these buildings, it was clear this was a major project.

Moreover, the architectural style didn't resemble that of Great Xia at all, giving off an ancient and old-fashioned aura.

Ghost fires were the only source of light in Fengdu Space. Two green flames drifted beside them, casting their faces in a greenish hue, perfectly matching the style of Fengdu.

Chi Sect Leader and Liu Zhen were also experiencing the splendor of Fengdu for the first time, overwhelmed by the grandeur of the Jiuyou Sect's undertakings.

No wonder Mu Baiyi was always so particular about money; it turned out all the funds had been funneled into this place.

"This architectural style is quite interesting, who designed it? Sect Leader Mu, was it you?" Lu Yang asked with a smile.

Mu Baiyi shook his head. "These were based on the sketches left by the former sect leader, Qin Haoran."

"Sketches?"

"His sketches depicted Fengdu, featuring a very unique architectural style. We've analyzed his designs, and they do not match the architectural styles of Ancient Times, nor those of Great Qian, Great Yu, or Great Xia."

"It is said that Qin Haoran was a man of Reincarnation. We believe the Fengdu he drew wasn't the product of imagination, but rather that his memories of the Reincarnation Land had not completely faded, and he still remembered what it looked like."

"It's this space that I constructed myself." Mu Baiyi said proudly.

In order to build the Fengdu Space, he had specifically learned the Space Skill; he had no experience prior to this, but now it seemed he had a natural talent for spatial matters, learning it with ease.
