167: Officially settled in Yuyuanzhou, and the base camp was established!

Lu Yuchen stood rooted to the spot for a full fifteen minutes.

The expression on his face went from initial anticipation, to confusion, then impatience, and finally, turned a deep shade of green.

Not a single sound!

The System was as if it had crashed, not even bubbling once.

“System! Get out here!” Lu Yuchen roared hysterically in his mind, “What about the Personal Disciple trigger for the return? Where’s my reward?!”

[Ding! Host, please calm down.]

The System’s cold, mechanical voice arrived belatedly.

[Upon detection, although Disciple Ying Ziliang has already pledged allegiance to the Host and become a Personal Disciple, his Breakthrough in cultivation occurred before his apprenticeship. This does not comply with the basic principle of “only when a Disciple achieves a Breakthrough after becoming an apprentice can the return be triggered.”]

“I… I’ll f*ck your grandma!”

Lu Yuchen was so angry his lungs were about to explode.

There’s even this kind of bizarre operation?!

This is even more disgusting than eating shit!

Disgusting! It’s really f*cking disgusting!

Ying Ziliang and Pavilion Master Ling Yixue, who were standing nearby, watched their Sect Master’s (Revered Master’s) face change colors like a dyeing shop, alternating between green and white, and were both curious.

“Revered Master, what… what’s wrong?” Ying Ziliang asked cautiously.

“Nothing.” Lu Yuchen squeezed out two words through gritted teeth, waved his hand, “I just suddenly remembered something very disgusting, even more disgusting than eating shit, it really disgusted me.”

Upon hearing this, Ying Ziliang immediately exploded, rising abruptly, and a terrifying pressure belonging to a Purple Mansion Realm expert swept out.

“Who?! Who dares to disgust Revered Master?! This Disciple will go dismember him right now!”

“Alright, alright, sit down.”

Lu Yuchen glared at him irritably, then changed the subject.

“Oh, by the way, let me introduce them to you.” He pointed to the two young men behind him who had been silent like muffled gourds, “These are the Disciples I recently accepted, Li Huowang and Chen Ping’an. They are your Fifth Senior Brother and Sixth Senior Brother.”

“This one, is now your Seventh Junior Brother,” Lu Yuchen said, pointing at Ying Ziliang to Li Huowang and the other.

“This one, is your Junior Sister,” Lu Yuchen said, pointing at Pavilion Master Ling Yixue. The status of Outer Sect Disciple is simply inferior to that of a Personal Disciple, no matter how early an Outer Sect Disciple joins the Sect, they are still Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters in front of Personal Disciples.

“Greetings, Seventh Junior Brother, and Junior Sister Yixue.” Li Huowang and Chen Ping’an greeted them.

Ying Ziliang and Pavilion Master Ling Yixue also dared not be negligent.

“Junior Brother (Junior Sister) greets the two Senior Brothers.”

After the pleasantries, Lu Yuchen remembered something else and asked Ying Ziliang, “Oh, by the way, what about the dozen or so Outer Sect Disciples who went down the mountain with you back then?”

“Reporting to Revered Master, they are all currently holding important positions in my Tai Xuan Dynasty, and their cultivation has also made significant progress.” Ying Ziliang replied respectfully, “This Disciple will now send a message and have them come to pay respects to Revered Master.”

As soon as his voice fell, he had already started chanting incantations.

Less than ten minutes later.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.

More than a dozen young men and women, dressed in various official robes and exuding powerful auras, knelt in unison before Lu Yuchen, their faces all filled with uncontrollable excitement.

“Disciples, greetings, Sect Master!”

“All of you, rise.” Lu Yuchen waved his hand, his Divine Sense sweeping over them, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

He didn't know until he looked, and when he did, he was shocked.

These dozen or so youngsters, without exception, had all entered the Foundation Establishment Realm!

The weakest among them was at Foundation Establishment Second Stage!

“Not bad, not bad.” Lu Yuchen nodded in satisfaction.

“Revered Master.” Ying Ziliang stepped forward, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, “Have you come this time to move the ‘Tai Xuan Immortal Sect’ from Tianzhu Peak directly into my Tai Xuan Dynasty?”

Lu Yuchen was initially stunned upon hearing this.

He truly hadn't planned on it.

He had originally thought of moving the Sect to Shi Nan Continent, where martial Dao was more prosperous.

But now, hearing Ying Ziliang say this…

That’s right!

Didn’t the System say that within the territory of my Tai Xuan Dynasty, I can mobilize Imperial Luck for combat?

With my current cultivation, coupled with this endless “blue bar”…

Wouldn’t that make me invincible?!

At this thought, Lu Yuchen’s eyes instantly lit up.

“Hmm, your suggestion is very good.” He nodded profoundly, “This Revered Master indeed has this intention.”

Ying Ziliang and the other Outer Sect Disciples were all overjoyed upon hearing this!

The Sect was finally going to officially settle in Yu Yuan Continent!

…

With this matter decided, the next step was to choose a location.

Ying Ziliang led Lu Yuchen, practically touring the entire Yu Yuan Continent.

Finally, they stopped before a vast, boundless lake where the water and sky merged into one.

This lake, though called a lake, was actually no different from an inland sea, its end not visible at a glance.

“Revered Master, what do you think of this place?”

“Acceptable.”

Lu Yuchen nodded, then, with a flicker of his figure, he had already appeared ten thousand meters in the sky.

He waved his large sleeve.

A miniature model of a mountain peak, no bigger than a palm, exquisite and delicate, flew out from his sleeve, growing larger as it met the wind!

Growing larger and larger.

Growing taller and taller.

Rumble—!

A earth-shattering roar.

That Tianzhu Peak, which Lu Yuchen had long since refined to his will, plummeted like a divine mountain descending from the Nine Heavens, smashing fiercely into the center of the lake!

Stirring up thousands of enormous waves.

Finally, it stood steadily, towering between the water and the sky.

This god-like display left Li Huowang and Chen Ping’an, who were watching from the side, utterly dumbfounded, their jaws almost dropping.

Ying Ziliang, however, was not surprised; he had already witnessed his Revered Master’s heaven-reaching methods when he came from the Nine Great Dynasties to the Martial Heaven Continent.

“The prestige is still not enough.”

Lu Yuchen looked at the Tianzhu Peak, which, though already majestic, still appeared somewhat “simple,” and stroked his chin.

With a thought, the vast magical power of his Nascent Soul Stage began to circulate.

That Tianzhu Peak, along with the “Tai Xuan Immortal Sect” upon it, began to undergo earth-shattering changes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The rocks were reshaped, becoming steeper and more perilous.

The palaces were elevated, becoming grander and more imposing.

Furthermore, the auspicious phenomena of swirling clouds and mist, and immortal cranes chirping in unison, appeared out of thin air!

This, truly, was an Immortal Sect!
