Chapter 106: Make the Wugui Sect Great Again!
Chapter 106: Make the Wugui Sect Great Again!
After hearing Lv Yang's words, the Yanluo Patriarch momentarily fell into deep self-doubt. Three hundred and sixty-seventh generation disciple of the Wugui Sect?
"Brazen!"
The next moment, the Yanluo Patriarch flew into a rage. "Our Wugui Sect lacks such deep roots. I myself am merely the sixth-generation patriarch. How could there be a 367th-generation disciple?"
Facing this accusation, Lv Yang remained calm. Tears welled in his eyes as he let two streams roll down his cheeks. "Venerable Ancestor, you don't know - for a thousand years, the Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion has never stopped hunting us. Now only my bloodline remains."
Major sects and lone cultivators differ greatly.
Any prominent sect always has Foundation Building Realm cultivators guarding them, ensuring stable, orderly transmissions where centuries might pass with only a single generation's difference.
But lone cultivators are different.
Most wander nomadically, living hand-to-mouth. With a few enemies, generations turnover rapidly - hundreds of generations isn't unusual.
The Yanluo Patriarch quickly understood. If a branch sect had been isolated without cultivators protecting them while being hunted by the Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion, hundreds of generations in a thousand years was plausible.
"Wait, something's wrong!"
Doubt struck him again. As the last patriarch of Wugui Sect, how could he not know about surviving branch lineages?
Suddenly demanding, "Which branch sect are you from?"
In truth, Wugui Sect had no branch system. This was a ploy to test Lv Yang, for he still doubted the man's claims.
Yet Lv Yang answered smoothly, "Venerable Ancestor, there were no branches. When you reached Foundation Building Perfection but collided with the Sword Pavilion's master over spiritual positions, the Great Elder secretly sent us outside the sect, severing karmic connections to preserve our lineage."
He had inherited the Wugui Sect's complete teachings.
The divine consciousness fragment the Yanluo Patriarch left behind had been filled with longing for their sect. Lv Yang knew its history as well as he did.
Take the Great Elder mentioned - he had once competed with Yanluo for patriarch, an uneasy friend-foe relationship, always opposing Yanluo's decisions.
Including the establishment of the Yanmo Hall.
So Lv Yang used this figure to craft his identity seamlessly. No matter what the Yanluo Patriarch asked, he could answer effortlessly.
"It was him."
Hearing this, the Yanluo Patriarch froze, memories flooding back. When he came to, his tone had softened. "So that's why I always thought that old fool opposed me just because he lost our contest for leadership. Now I see - he was more far-sighted than me."
No, he really just opposed you.
While mentally scoffing, Lv Yang quickly changed the subject. "No time to lose, Venerable Ancestor. Please wait here while I rescue you!"
"Hold on."
The Yanluo Patriarch waved urgently. "Don't worry about me. I have my own way out. You must leave immediately - don't get dragged into this!"
Though Lv Yang's words convinced him 80%, this wasn't due to persuasion skills.
Through subtle questioning, he confirmed Lv Yang truly possessed Wugui Sect's teachings. If fake, where would he obtain such knowledge? Certainly not from himself.
Thus, despite finding Lv Yang's story incredible, he chose belief.
"Anyway, survival of our lineage matters most." Suddenly urgent, he warned, "This place still has Golden Core Sword Qi. Leave quickly before it locks onto you!"
"No need to worry, Venerable Ancestor." Lv Yang shook his head, bitterness in his voice. "Actually, I've kept something from you, disappointing our ancestors."
"The Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion hunted us for a millennium. Only my bloodline survived. To protect myself, I couldn't claim Wugui Sect discipleship, so I hid my identity joining the Primordial Sacred Sect, using their karmic protection to cultivate to my current realm."
He lowered his head, the picture of shame before elders.
"I see." The Yanluo Patriarch showed no surprise, rather enlightenment dawning. This explained his earlier confusion.
Lv Yang's cultivation was too high.
By his eyes, Lv Yang stood at Foundation Building's threshold, having reformed the Yanmo Hall - strength bordering on unbelievable.
How could a struggling branch produce such power?
Now he understood - the Primordial Sacred Sect's backing explained everything.
"Actually, this was wise." Seeing Lv Yang's shame, he comforted, "Swallowing pride for sect survival is common."
"Besides, the Primordial Sacred Sect likely didn't care."
"You did exactly right. Who knew our Wugui Sect, barely surviving a thousand years, would reclaim such an outstanding disciple."
He looked at Lv Yang with mixed admiration. "This child has endured much hardship."
"Hardship for Wugui Sect? Never." Lv Yang shook his head, wiping his eyes with determination. "To be honest, coming to Skull Mountain, I sought our sect's ruins."
"Since reaching Refining Qi Perfection, I stand at Foundation Building's threshold. After breaking through, my plan was to reestablish Wugui Sect. Only lacking some resources, I came to Skull Mountain to recover our ancestral treasures, making Wugui Sect great again!"
He gazed expectantly at the Yanluo Patriarch.
The old patriarch felt awkward. He wanted to offer help, but after a millennium, any remaining sect treasures would be long gone.
Seeing this, Lv Yang's eyes flickered. With a thought, the Yanmo Hall materialized, its guardian deity Su Nu stepping forth.
Their eyes met - understanding passed between them.
"Master, what about the spirit vein?" Su Nu spoke.
"Need spirit vein? Need it at all?" Lv Yang suddenly rebuked her, "How could you suggest this?"
The Yanluo Patriarch suddenly enlightened, "Right! The spirit vein!"
"Venerable Ancestor, this isn't proper!" Lv Yang waved hands in false protest. "You're the patriarch! Only you control Skull Mountain's spirit vein. How could juniors dare use it?"
"No, your guardian speaks wisely." The Yanluo Patriarch shook his head. "Though my Soul Possession technique granted five lifetimes, I approach my limit. My soul frays, lifespan short. I won't need the vein anymore."
"Better you have it - perhaps make better use."
As he spoke, Lv Yang watched the Yanluo Patriarch actually relinquish the spirit vein's control, allowing Su Nu to lead the Yanmo Hall into its depths.
He believed! He truly believed!
