Chapter 690 - 325: Seeing Nuke Again
One month later, Lu Yi and Yu Yuanwu left the White Cloud Immortal Sect and headed to the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land.
Now, the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land was also in Qingzhou, very close to the White Cloud Immortal Sect.
In fact, ever since the Tianming Star turned into an Immortal Star, the Immortal Trees and various other Immortal Treasures within the White Cloud Sect had gradually matured and the concentration of Spiritual Energy in Qingzhou had significantly increased; consequently, all the major Immortal Sect Holy Lands of the entire Tianming region had relocated to Qingzhou.
Even though Lu Yi and Yu Yuanwu were flying leisurely, they quickly arrived in the area where the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land was located.
The area of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land was a massive ancient city within which streams of Dragon Qi flowed, transforming into True Dragon Illusions that encircled the ancient city.
Every so often, the sound of a dragon’s roar faintly emerged from within the city.
This was the new sect headquarters constructed by the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land in the past thousand years.
The ascension of the Heavenly Dragon Saint Son this time was a major event; large numbers of cultivators, some riding Flying Boats, others piloting Controlling Artifacts, and others taming beasts, arrived at Heavenly Dragon City.
At the gate and in the sky of Heavenly Dragon City, quite a few cultivators floated, receiving the numerous arriving cultivators.
These were all Law Enforcers of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land; their strength was also considered strong within the Holy Land, the weakest among them were at the Cave Void Realm, and each team was led by a Great Power at the Unification Realm.
As Lu Yi and Yu Yuanwu approached, a team of cultivators from Heavenly Dragon Holy Land noticed the two men.
Upon recognizing it was Lu Yi, the leading Great Power’s eyes widened, and he hurriedly came over respectfully with the Law Enforcers saying, “Mr. Lu, Young Master Yu, the two of you have arrived.”
Since Lu Yi and Yu Yuanwu often gathered with people like the Heavenly Dragon Saint Son, and sometimes met up at the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land, the Law Enforcers naturally recognized Lu Yi as well.
Lu Yi responded with a slight smile, “Brother Ao Tian is holding an ascension ceremony; of course, I had to come.’
The Great Power quickly responded respectfully, “Mr. Lu, please come inside; the Saint Son is in the city. He will definitely be very happy to see you.”
Lu Yi nodded and, accompanied by Yu Yuanwu, flew towards the palace of the Heavenly Dragon Saint Son within the city.
Meanwhile, the Great Power already loudly announced, “Welcoming Mr. Lu, Young Master Yu into Heavenly Dragon City to attend the Ascension Ceremony!”
Upon hearing this voice, the cultivators who also came for the Ascension Ceremony all narrowed their pupils and looked in the direction of Lu Yi and Yu Yuanwu, whispering among themselves.
“I didn’t expect him to come as well.”
“I heard he’s on very good terms with the Heavenly Dragon Saint Son, so his presence is not a surprise.”
“The one beside him is that big shot from the Yu Family, right?”
“Yes indeed, tsk tsk tsk, the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land is really making a spectacle. The Saint Son has ascended, and they’ve managed to have these two celebrities attend to celebrate… truly grand.”
Many cultivators felt immense envy.
“Who’s saying otherwise? I heard the Heavenly Dragon Saint Son was able to ascend so quickly all thanks to him!”
“Everyone knows that. But we’re in Heavenly Dragon City now, better keep those comments to ourselves.”
“Alas, not everyone is born equal, eh? To know him is to climb the ladder to heaven.”
“…”
In the midst of the envious and jealous exclamations, Lu Yi and Yu Yuanwu had already entered.
…
The palace of the Heavenly Dragon Saint Son was named Ao Tian Hall.
Yes, named after Long Aotian himself.
Every time Lu Yi saw the name of this palace, he found himself holding back a laugh.
At this moment inside Ao Tian Hall, within a garden filled with rare and exotic plants, the Heavenly Dragon Saint Son, the Taiyi Saint Son, the Thunder Sound Saintess, Feng Buming, and other talented individuals from Tianming Star of the same generation as Lu Yi were all present.
People conversed over drinks and food.
After all, they all had good relationships, and they had arrived at this place before the Heavenly Dragon Saint Son’s ascension.
The current Heavenly Dragon Saint Son was vibrant, his arrogant face brimming with smiles as he frequently toasted his fellow Daoists: “Ha ha ha, everyone enjoy yourselves. Luck was on my side for ascending a step ahead; it’s quite embarrassing.”
Taiyi Saint Son snorted coldly, drinking his wine in silence.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Dragon Saint Son laughed heartily, “Oh? Seems like someone is not convinced? What is it? My ascension made you feel the gap?”
The Taiyi Saint Son scoffed, “Long Aotian, what’s there to be arrogant about? You just ascended a step earlier than me, that’s all. I’ll be ascending very soon too. If it weren’t for this ascension ceremony you’re holding, I might have ascended by now.”
“Get real, you?” The Heavenly Dragon Saint Son glanced sideways at the Taiyi Saint Son.
“You!” The Taiyi Saint Son’s face turned cold, his aura fluctuating.
“Hehe, Lin Jiuyue, you wouldn’t happen to want to challenge me, would you? Should I tie one hand behind my back?” The Heavenly Dragon Saint Son said with a full smile.
After ascension, and before, were completely different concepts.
The Heavenly Dragon Saint Son well knew that with Lin Jiuyue’s current state, it probably wouldn’t take long for him to ascend as well.
But before he ascended, what harm was there in testing him a bit?
As the two argued, others continued enjoying their food and drinks, accustomed to it by now.
After all, the two were always like this, and only when Lu Yi was present would they somewhat restrain themselves.
Just then, the Heavenly Dragon Saint Son’s expression suddenly changed, and he stood up.
Noticing the smile on the Heavenly Dragon Saint Son’s face, Lei Tianyin raised an eyebrow, “Brother Long, what is it?”
“Ha ha ha, Brother Lu is here, I’m going to greet him!” The Heavenly Dragon Saint Son said as he walked towards the door.
Hearing this, the others also lit up and stood up, heading towards the door.
Everyone positioned themselves at the entrance of Ao Tian Hall; some younger cultivators from the Holy Lands of Heavenly Dragon, Thunder Sound, Taiyi, and other major Immortal Sect Holy Lands, who had never seen Lu Yi, were all visibly excited.
