Chapter 21: Another Year, the Ascension Assembly 2
Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
“The mortal world is still better.”
Yang Zhiyun, who had been frustrated and unrecognized in the Immortal Academy, looked at the mortals bowing respectfully before him, and the pride of a cultivator rose in his heart.
If not for the Golden Core Ancestor’s strict order of the Immortal-Mortal Separation, forbidding any cultivator from going to the Mortal Continent without a mission.
Yang Zhiyun truly believed that many mediocre cultivators like himself would have chosen to leave the Immortal Continent and return to the Mortal Continent.
To be a lofty Immortal Master in the mortal world, would that not be wonderful?
“Immortal Master, you’ve finally arrived.”
“Please, Immortal Master, take action and capture the Great Thief Chu Liuxiang, and recover our lost inheritance Dharma Artifacts.”
Seeing Yang Zhiyun descend from the immortal ship, the Emperor of Liao took the lead in kneeling, and his first words were to beg Yang Zhiyun to help them capture Chu Liuxiang.
Yang Zhiyun’s tone was indifferent. “Rest assured. This Venerable has come this time not only to convene the Ascension Assembly and receive disciples. Suppressing and killing that Chu Liuxiang and recovering the lost inheritance Dharma Artifacts is also one of my tasks.”
“Go and fetch some of Chu Liuxiang’s hair or skin flakes. This Venerable will immediately divine his whereabouts and strike him down.”
Hearing Yang Zhiyun’s words, everyone looked at each other, not daring to respond.
Yang Zhiyun immediately grasped the situation, and flew into a rage. “A bunch of trash! The man has been stealing from your homes for so many years, and don’t tell This Venerable that you haven’t grasped even a trace of a clue about Chu Liuxiang!”
“Immortal Master, please calm your anger. There is a letter left behind by Chu Liuxiang. Could it perhaps serve as a divination medium?”
Someone said in a small voice.
Yang Zhiyun looked at the gold foil handed up, bearing elegant and refined handwriting.
Rage burned in his heart. A high-level spell like divining a person’s whereabouts from their handwriting — if he knew how to do that, he wouldn’t be working in the Menial Affairs Hall.
“A bunch of trash!”
Yang Zhiyun roared, backhanding the gold foil away, and turned to step back into the immortal ship, his tone icy. “You mortal lineages truly get worse with each generation.”
“All of you, get back and properly prepare for the Ascension Assembly.”
“As for that Chu Liuxiang, hm, This Venerable will have to personally perform the ritual.”
Yang Zhiyun spoke with ease, but after stepping into the immortal ship, his face fell, and he sullenly channeled a strand of true qi into the Water Mirror.
Relying on the aura resonance between the immortal ship’s Water Mirror and the mortal Dharma Artifacts, he intended to first locate the lost inheritance Dharma Artifacts, then follow the trail to find Chu Liuxiang.
Soon, within the Water Mirror, scenes of light and shadow appeared before Yang Zhiyun’s eyes.
Looking at the inheritance Dharma Artifacts scattered across more than half the Mortal Continent, discarded like trash in desolate wildernesses, mountains and lakes.
Yang Zhiyun’s face went completely dark.
He had originally thought that this so-called Great Thief Chu Liuxiang, who frantically stole the inheritance Dharma Artifacts of the various cultivation families…
