Chapter 12: The Great Heavenly Reef Rises, Heroes Gather at Mount Longhu
Looking at the towering Mount Longhu, a beautiful figure appeared in Zhang Ziyang's mind. In his previous life, the atmosphere was very happy wherever that beautiful figure was. Zhang Ziyang also felt very comfortable.
Although Mount Longhu was bustling with people, Zhang Ziyang felt like he couldn't blend into this world. He couldn't help but feel lonely.
In the end, he was still a passerby, just like back in the Heaven Covering World. However, he had already provoked Yan Ruyu, so he could not let Lu Linglong down anymore. After all, he would eventually leave this world.
The square in front of Longhu Mountain was filled with people. There were ordinary tourists and occasionally a few mutants. Each of them had their own thoughts. With his current strength, he could naturally determine their strength based on their aura.
The low-level mutants had the cultivation of Houtian sixth stage, the high-level mutants had the cultivation of Houtian eighth stage, and the number of Houtian ninth stage mutants was very few. At least, in the entire square, he could only sense the aura of Houtian ninth stage from his senior brother Zhang Lingyu and a few others.
He recalled that after the Heavenly Grand Ritual was held on Mount Longhu in the original novel, in order to know the secret of the Jiashen Rebellion, Quanxing attacked the Celestial Master's Residence at all costs. He wondered if Quanxing had already mixed in with these mutants.
"You must be Immortal Zi Yang?" Just as Zhang Ziyang's thoughts raced, an unfamiliar voice pulled him back to reality.
"Can I get to know you?"
Zhang Ziyang looked up and was stunned. After he stood up, his gaze fell on a handsome young man beside him.
Houtian ninth stage?
His aura seemed to be similar to Zhang Lingyu's. There were not many contestants with such strength, so Zhang Ziyang could roughly guess his identity.
After sizing him up, Zhang Ziyang smiled and said,""This must be the inheritor of the Qi Body Source, Zhang Chulan, right?”
Zhang Chulan could be considered a disciple of Longhu Mountain. He was the inheritor of one of the Eight Wondrous Skills, Qi Body. His other identity was an employee of the Omnipotent Company. He could be considered an official. His grandfather was Zhang Huaiyi, a 38th generation disciple of Longhu Mountain. He was a very powerful cultivator.
While Zhang Ziyang was sizing up Zhang Chulan, Zhang Chulan was also sizing him up. Zhang Chulan revealed a modest smile." So you're Perfected Zi Yang. I've heard a lot about you. Your reputation is well-known in the Otherworldly Realm. I heard that you defeated that woman Xia He some time ago! You're really amazing!"
One had to know that in the original novel, Zhang Chulan had suffered a lot from Xia He. Zhang Ziyang's actions could be said to have made Zhang Chulan heave a long sigh of relief. No wonder Zhang Chulan was so close to Zhang Ziyang. It turned out that they had a common language.
"Zhang Chulan, if you count yourself as a disciple of the Celestial Master Residence, you should know that your mantra was passed down from Mount Longhu, so I welcome you home!”Zhang Ziyang said to Zhang Chulan.
Zhang Chulan's eyes were filled with astonishment. He never thought that Zhang Ziyang would treat him like this. One of his goals for joining the Heavenly Reef was to join Mount Longhu and successfully become the Sect Leader. Now, he could sense the faint aura from Zhang Ziyang's body. It seemed that he could feel the endless aura around him. From this, it could be seen that Zhang Ziyang's cultivation was not something he could compare to.
Zhang Chulan smiled calmly, but a hint of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes. He was different from the others. Although he instinctively felt that the young man in front of him was extremely dangerous, he was a young man who refused to admit defeat.
It seemed that the foundation of the Celestial Master's Residence was not something that ordinary forces could compare to. It seemed that there would be a fierce battle to be fought in the Heavenly Reef this time.
Zhang Chulan felt that Zhang Ziyang seemed to have achieved the legendary divine and reserved state of Taoism. This kind of person could only be achieved by someone who had reached an extremely high realm. Zhang Chulan guessed that Zhang Ziyang seemed to have touched the threshold of the Xiantian realm and reached the peak of Houtian ninth stage!
"I seem to have seen such a person before!”Feng Baobao, who was beside Zhang Chulan, seemed to have thought of something and said to Zhang Chulan with an innocent expression.
"Okay, Sister Bao 'er, let me put it this way! To put it simply, he had already reached the realm of returning to his original state.”Zhang Chulan said.
"Mm, I don't know, but I don't think I can beat him. I'll leave him to you in the future!”Feng Baobao's words made Zhang Chulan dumbfounded. This woman really didn't know how to differentiate between situations.
Looking at the two of them bickering with each other, Zhang Ziyang's eyes flashed with a touch of surprise. This Feng Baobao could actually detect his aura? As expected of the only immortal in this world.
One had to know that the aura he cultivated in the Purple Sun Scripture was gentle. It was one of the supreme cultivation techniques of Daoism. When he cultivated, it could completely lock his aura. Even people at the same level as Zhang Ziyang would not be able to detect his aura. It seemed that Feng Baobao seemed simple and brainless, but she actually had her own unique points.
Zhang Ziyang's gaze followed Feng Baobao's figure and looked to the side. He saw that Taoist Master Wang Ye of Wudang Mountain had also arrived.
He had some impression of Wang Ye. Zhang Ziyang had met Wang Ye once at Old Master Lu's birthday banquet. They were not strangers.
Zhang Ziyang expressed that he could get to know Wang Ye, one of the Eight Wondrous Skills and the inheritor of the Wind Empress 'Mystic Sect.
"Taoist Wang Ye is also here. On behalf of the Celestial Master Residence, I would like to welcome Taoist Wang Ye. It seems that this time, it will be difficult for me to win the championship with my meager cultivation!”
"Perfected Zi Yang is too modest."
Then, King looked at Zhang Chulan and said,""Zhang Chulan, aren't you looking for the old heavenly master? There, that's the old heavenly master."
Zhang Chulan followed Wang Ye's gaze and fixed her gaze on an old man in a Daoist robe with a white bun.
However, when she saw Zhang Lingyu from the corner of her eyes, Zhang Chulan felt a little displeased.
"Reverend Zi Yang, Reverend Ling Yu and the other disciples are receiving guests in the temple. What are you doing in the square alone?”
Zhang Ziyang smiled faintly and said," Master gave me another task, so I don't have to receive them. I'll leave these things to my senior brothers. I'll maintain order in the square and wait for anyone to come."”
"Waiting for someone?"
"Yes, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, Lu Linglong.”
Zhang Chulan was stunned and said in disbelief,""You're actually waiting for a woman. How can a Taoist priest like you know someone from the Lu family?”
"I was invited to Old Master Lu's birthday banquet some time ago. My old master and Old Master Lu tried to matchmake us, making me very embarrassed now!”Glancing at Zhang Chulan, Zhang Ziyang felt a little helpless.
Hearing this, the shadow in Zhang Chulan's heart increased. She said,"F * ck, even a person like you who spends all day on the mountain has a girlfriend. Why is someone like me who has been living at the foot of the mountain for many years still single? This isn't fair!"
Zhang Ziyang's expression was a little awkward. He comforted her,""Everything is the best arrangement. I believe you can find a suitable girlfriend.”
"Thank you!" Zhang Chulan said as she looked at Zhang Ziyang.
King also laughed. He was already used to Zhang Chulan's comical style, so he just wanted to pull Zhang Chulan away as soon as possible. He said to Zhang Ziyang,"Perfected Zi Yang, let's go greet the old heavenly master first.”
"Please."
Zhang Ziyang looked at Wang Ye's back and Zhang Chulan's angry face. He was deep in thought. Although Zhang Chulan was a little funny, he was still the main character of this world. His talent and comprehension were superior. Perhaps he could replace him in carrying forward the legacy of Dragon Tiger Mountain in this world.
Seeing the people walking further and further away, Zhang Ziyang retracted his gaze and continued to maintain order in the square.
Half an hour later, Zhang Ziyang stood up and looked at the burly old man who was walking toward him. He smiled and said,""Zi Yang greets Old Master Lu!"
"Kid, you're too polite. Aren't you treating me as an outsider? I spoke to Ling Long on the phone earlier. She is already on her way here and will probably arrive soon. You don't have to wait for her. Come with me! I hope you can achieve good results in the Heavenly Grand Ritual. To be honest, I'm looking forward to your performance.”
Zhang Ziyang nodded, indicating that he understood.
Lu Jin stopped in his tracks and said to Zhang Ziyang,""Zi Yang, we've protected Ling Long too well. She's too naive. I hope you can treat her well in the future!”
"Thank you for your kindness, Old Master Lu. I don't have any thoughts about this at the moment. I've always treated Linglong as my sister, so I'll naturally protect her.”Zhang Ziyang smiled embarrassedly. Although the Lu family was a wealthy family, they had gone too far in controlling his marriage!
After his rebirth, Zhang Ziyang understood the importance of strength to him.
Money? Although the Lu family was rich, Zhang Ziyang in his previous life was even richer! Power? Although the Lu family was big, compared to him, who used to have a force, it was like the difference between clouds and mud.
After being rejected by Zhang Ziyang again, the smiles on the faces of the Lu family gradually disappeared. They nodded at Zhang Ziyang and walked towards the mountain gate.
Half an hour later, a bus stopped at the foot of the mountain. The girl in the lead was tall and slender. She wore a white T-shirt and denim shorts. Her beautiful long hair was tied into two ponytails that fell to her waist. She had bright big eyes, a delicate nose, and seductive thin lips. Every frown and smile was touching.
"Miss Lu."
The voice that she had been longing for day and night echoed in her ears. Lu Linglong raised her gaze slightly and looked at the familiar figure standing at the end of the steps. She immediately ran halfway up the mountain.
"Old Master Lu and Uncle Lu have already gone to Master's place. Let's go and greet Master together.”
"Alright."
Lu Linglong followed behind Zhang Ziyang and walked towards the courtyard house on the mountain.
When they arrived at the courtyard house, Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Jin were chatting in the courtyard.
"Master, we're here."
