Lu Xuan's head was buzzing.
Chu Tai... Profound Yellow...
'Who on earth is Grandpa Chu? From the three Bronze Fragnts to this ti, when he knocked Senior Brother Zhang into this Little World and used his compassion to trap him for over one hundred thousand years...'
'And most importantly, I was involved too??'
Lu Xuan didn't think the Supre Emperor Profound Yellow that Senior Brother Zhang spoke of was soone impersonating him. The reason was extrely simple...
Senior Brother Zhang had repeatedly stressed that the guy nad Profound Yellow had slapped him out of the blue, making his head buzz, and had cursed "That bastard!" three tis in a row...
'Yeah, that definitely sounds like sothing I'd do.'
Looking at Senior Brother Zhang, who now looked completely different and aged to an extre, Lu Xuan felt even more guilty.
After a long mont, he managed to gather his thoughts, coughed softly, and said:
"Senior Brother Zhang, what are your plans now? You can't just keep being the 'Celestial Dao' here, can you?"
"I must continue."
Zhang Ling sighed softly.
"I've thought about sending all the creatures in this Little World out, but the beings born here have an innate standing lower than those of the Great Heaven and Earth. They can't enter the Great Heaven and Earth's cycle of Reincarnation. If I were to leave, this Little World would collapse, and their souls would scatter... I can't bring myself to do it."
Lu Xuan fell silent.
A mont later, a thought struck him.
"Senior Brother Zhang, you said this world is a Little World... so how does it compare to an Acupoint Heaven and Earth?"
"An Acupoint Heaven and Earth?" Zhang Ling was a little taken aback. After a mont's thought, he said, "You're talking about the cultivation of an Upper Celestial Venerable, right? Evolving each Acupoint into its own complete heaven and earth... Hmm, they're more or less the sa. Both are considered little worlds."
Lu Xuan froze. 'An Upper Celestial Venerable??'
'He'd always thought that transforming Acupoints into heavens and earths was a cultivation technique for the Celestial Venerable realm. But it was actually a realm even beyond Immortal??'
At this, Zhang Ling seed to realize sothing, and his voice grew serious.
"Speaking of which, Xiaoxuan, what about you? I can sense that your cultivation realm is only at the level of an Earth Immortal. That makes no sense. What has happened in the outside world all these years? Could it be that the flow of ti is different?"
Lu Xuan snapped out of it, but he didn't know how to explain. It was all too complicated. So, he just said:
"My own relationship with ti is... unusual. It's true that over a hundred thousand years have passed in the outside world. But for , the campaign of Invading Qi was only about half a month ago."
Zhang Ling was dumbfounded.
Lu Xuan continued.
"Senior Brother, how about you hand this world over to ? I can maintain it in your place."
"Absolutely not."
Zhang Ling refused without hesitation.
"This world is cut off from Primordial Qi, and its rules and principles are incomplete. You can never make any progress by staying here. If you truly want to help , co back after you beco an Upper Celestial Venerable. At that point, you can just absorb this realm into one of your Acupoints."
"Ahem." Lu Xuan coughed and smiled sheepishly. "Let's just say... is it possible that... I'm already evolving a heaven and earth in my Acupoints?"
"Impossible!" Zhang Ling said without a second thought. "Xiaoxuan, before you say sothing like that, you should at least reach the Immortal realm first..."
His words died in his throat.
Lu Xuan held out his left hand, opening an Acupoint. The faint radiance of the Innate Great Sun and Innate Taiyin swirled above it, mixed with the subtle Power of Heaven and Earth, entwined with Dao and principle!
"You… you…" Zhang Ling stared, dumbfounded.
"I know the diation of Creation, don't I? I was just experinting, trying to create a heaven and earth from one of the body's Acupoints. And, well, it worked. It's only in its embryonic form, but it's complete."
Zhang Ling seed slightly dazed, then fell silent.
After a long mont, a wry smile appeared on his face.
"Xiaoxuan… you truly are a monster…"
"Senior Brother Zhang, let's put that aside for now. If you can get free, what do you plan to do? Re-enter the cycle of Reincarnation?" Lu Xuan asked curiously.
He could now face the topic of Reincarnation with composure.
"Let's first make sure you can actually take control of this world."
Zhang Ling smiled.
"Co, I'll take you to the Hall of the Hundred Schools first to proclaim the na of Lu Zi to this world. Over the past hundred thousand years, a great deal of incense has been accumulated in your na. Even though you don't follow the Incense Fire Divine Dao, it will still be of great benefit to you."
'Incense?'
Lu Xuan mused, 'Does he an the Thoughts of All Living Beings?'
......
「Hall of the Hundred Schools.」
Seeing the commotion in the distant Celestial Vault subside, Xiaoyan and the others, along with the Masters of the Academy in the hall, all grew sowhat uneasy.
Zhuge Ke stole a glance at the solemn-faced Masters of the Academy not far away and whispered:
"Do you guys think that person… is really Lu Xuan??"
"Impossible."
Marquis Zhuge shook his head.
"Xiaoke, let's not even ntion the fact that your classmate never entered this place. I was watching him earlier. Although he was shrouded in mist and I couldn't see him clearly, he was still severely wounded by the Grand Grade killing intent."
After a pause, he continued.
"But as for the one just now holding the sword and lamp—the power in his every fist and palm was no less than Grand Grade. His every move was imbued with terrifying Dao and principle, and he was even accompanied by the very origin of heaven and earth…"
Nearby, Zhang Huatian mused aloud.
"It definitely isn't Lu Xuan, but then why do they look exactly alike? Hmm… and that man called himself the Ancient Lu Zi… Do you think he could actually be the real Lu Zi, and Lu Xuan is his direct descendant?"
"That's a real possibility." Zhang Jifeng nodded slightly, then turned to the side and asked, "Zhiyao, what do you think?"
"?"
Wang Zhiyao rolled her eyes.
"Forget it. I'd better not say anything. You wouldn't believe even if I told you."
The group exchanged baffled glances. Chen Ye instinctively looked over at Yan Jiangxue and was startled to find her staring worriedly at the distant Celestial Vault outside the hall.
