Chapter 1 Who Knows What Happened

No one knew what had happened.

Zhongzhou had been perfectly fine just two days ago, but suddenly, an inexplicable war of words erupted.

"You're farting! Senior Brother Lu definitely ascended one hundred and eight steps. You're all spreading rumors!"

"Heh? You're the one farting. I heard Senior Brother Lu say with my own ears that he stepped onto three hundred and sixty-five steps."

"Hahahaha, that's hilarious! It was clearly seven hundred and twenty steps, okay?"

"You're all spreading rumors, rumors! I saw with my own eyes that Lu Changsheng, Senior Brother Lu, stepped onto one thousand and one steps. Am I blind?"

"It doesn't matter how many steps he took. I still want to emphasize that Senior Brother Lu didn't become an immortal because he was thinking of us Da Luo disciples. How did it become something else in your mouths?"

"Hahahaha, that's hilarious! Thinking of Da Luo? How short-sighted! Senior Brother is thinking of all living beings in the world, do you understand?"

"Yeah, yeah, Senior Brother Lu is thinking of all living beings in the world, not just Da Luo disciples. How could Senior Brother's vision be so narrow?"

"I'm telling you, it doesn't matter who comes today. The reason Senior Brother Lu didn't become an immortal is because he was thinking of our Linglong Saintess."

"That's right, that's right, he was thinking of our Linglong Saintess."

"Superficial, superficial! Is my senior brother that kind of superficial person? Is he someone who lusts after women? Is he?"

"Linglong sisters, stop interjecting. Senior Brother is definitely not the kind of person who lusts after women."

"Uh, can we from Dongtu say something?"

"No!"

"Get out!"

"Since when is it your place, Dongtu, to interject in Zhongzhou's affairs?"

The war of words appeared out of nowhere. The entire Zhongzhou wasn't discussing Lu Changsheng's succession as the Holy Leader, but rather how many steps Lu Changsheng had taken on the Ascent to Heaven Platform in the Tianyuan Holy Land, and why he chose to give up immortality when faced with the road to immortality.

At this very moment.

Da Luo Holy Land.

Inside the main peak hall.

Lu Changsheng sat in the hall, lost in thought.

He couldn't possibly not know that such a big thing had happened.

But he really couldn't figure out which genius could spread rumors so terrifyingly.

Giving up immortality before the road to immortality?

It wasn't that Lu Changsheng lacked ambition, but if there really was a road to immortality, he could guarantee that he would be the first to rush up.

"That's not right, Qingfeng has already left, so how can there still be rumors?"

Lu Changsheng sighed.

He couldn't understand.

Perhaps this was it: the person who wrote about Qingfeng wasn't here, and the person named Qingfeng wasn't here either, but Qingfeng was still around.

Shaking his head.

Lu Changsheng stopped worrying about it. It was understandable that this kind of thing happened.

The world of cultivation was just too boring.

Most disciples cultivated day and night, and after cultivating, they had nothing to do. What could they do with nothing to do?

They just gathered together to chat nonsense.

One person would say, "I heard," and another would say, "I heard."

One would say, "I have a buddy," and another would say, "I have a brother."

And just like that, in a few words, something completely nonexistent was born.

So, in order to effectively stop rumors, you absolutely couldn't rely on everyone's self-awareness. After all, in this world, cultivators could go without food, but they definitely couldn't go without rumors.

So, if you wanted to solve this problem, you had to keep everyone busy.

Yes!

That's right.

You had to keep everyone busy.

Those who were idle all day would definitely cause trouble.

Therefore, in the past few days, Lu Changsheng had been thinking about an effective way to deal with this unhealthy trend in the world of cultivation. It absolutely couldn't go on like this.

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng picked up a pen and carefully wrote a line on a booklet.

And the name of the booklet was 'A Few Things a Good Holy Leader Must Do'.

An hour later.

Lu Changsheng had written dozens of rules in a sweeping manner.

But before Lu Changsheng could continue writing the ninety-ninth rule.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Lu Changsheng stopped writing and carefully put the booklet in his arms.

Soon the door opened, and then dozens of disciples stood outside the door, looking at Lu Changsheng, respectfully saying, "We have seen Senior Brother."

These people looked a little familiar.

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, but soon, he remembered who these people were.

The second generation of Da Luo!

"Senior Brother, this junior followed Senior Brother's instructions and went to Qiongshan every day to chop firewood, walking back and forth without using any magic. Now I have completed five hundred catties of firewood a day. Please bestow a method, Senior Brother."

The one who spoke was Wang Ye.

He knelt on the ground respectfully, saying it with utmost sincerity.

Huh?

Bestow a method?

What does that mean?

Lu Changsheng fell silent.

Soon, he couldn't help but recall the tasks he had given them that day.

Hiss!

This was awkward.

Lu Changsheng was indeed awkward inside.

He had just wanted to be carefree at the time, so he casually issued a few difficult tasks, but he didn't expect that they would be completed in less than half a year?

I haven't made it up yet.

Why don't you wait a little longer and I'll tell you after I make up a reason?

Lu Changsheng thought to himself, but looking at their sincere faces, Lu Changsheng was really embarrassed for a moment.

But after pondering for a moment.

Lu Changsheng nodded, appearing very calm.

"Then have you comprehended?"

The voice rang out.

This time it was Wang Ye's turn to be stunned.

Comprehended?

Comprehended what?

Comprehended a hair?

Wang Ye was stunned. These days, he had been chopping firewood every day, working hard, not knowing how many pairs of shoes he had worn out, and not knowing how much sweat he had shed. He just dreamed that his senior brother would give him guidance and let him open his mind as soon as possible.

But now, he actually asked himself if he had comprehended?

If he had comprehended, would he still come over?

Senior Brother, are you teasing me?

Wang Ye was grieved in his heart, but he didn't dare to blame him at all. Instead, he frowned, thinking that Senior Brother was testing him.

But after a long time.

Wang Ye really couldn't make up anything.

"Senior Brother... this junior's aptitude is dull, and... and... I haven't comprehended it yet."

Wang Ye said this.

"Alas!" Lu Changsheng sighed from the bottom of his heart. How much he wished that Wang Ye would say, "I have comprehended," so that he could answer smoothly, but what he didn't expect was that Wang Ye was so straightforward.

Sighing.

Lu Changsheng said with some disappointment, "I'll give you three more days. You continue to chop firewood. After three days, I'll ask you again!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Senior Brother, thank you, Senior Brother."

Wang Ye immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he got up and left directly.

When the other disciples saw this, without thinking, they immediately spoke in unison.

"Senior Brother, we haven't comprehended it either, so we won't disturb Senior Brother. We'll come back in three days."

They got up, said these words, and left directly.

Now Lu Changsheng regretted it a bit.

Why did I say three days?

Wouldn't it be better to say seven days, ten days, or thirty days?

It's over!

It's over!

If they knew that I was also making it up, would I get beaten up?

In an instant, the good mood was destroyed.
