NOVEL NEXT Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Cooperation with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?
A competition,
Which allowed Yu Yuanzhen to break through and reach the peak of the 96th rank Title Douluo, and brought Chen Xin closer to the 97th rank peak Title Douluo,
For this very reason,
The smiles on their faces were clearly visible.
Lu Yunzhou, too, was genuinely happy.
After all, didn't this bring him a step closer to completing the task of "Cultivating the Heart in Mortal Realm"? And didn't it bring him closer to obtaining the technique "Great Immortal Sutra"?
With the competition now over,
The chief professor of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Meng Shenji, showed great insight by promptly inviting Lu Yunzhou, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Yu Yuanzhen, and Prince Xue Qinghe into the room for a chat—or perhaps more accurately, to sit down together.
None of them declined.
A chance to relax, talk business, and build connections with Lu Yunzhou was a rare opportunity for Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Yu Yuanzhen, and even Prince Xue Qinghe, so they wouldn't easily pass it up.
Inside the spacious private room,
Despite his lower status, Prince Xue Qinghe proactively served tea for everyone.
After filling Lu Yunzhou's cup to seven-tenths full, he respectfully returned to his seat,
And quietly listened to the conversation among the elders.
First, Ning Fengzhi, the old, crafty fox, opened the conversation with a tentative question,
"May I ask, Mr. Lu, once you have finished your business at Heaven Dou Royal Academy… where do you plan to go next?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunzhou responded earnestly,
"Well, naturally, I'll continue cultivating the heart in the mortal world, travel across the continent, and explore the world of Soul Masters. After all, as cultivators, we must always live among the mundane, right?"
After hearing Lu Yunzhou's response,
Ning Fengzhi, after a moment of thought, nodded and smiled,
"In that case, Mr. Lu, would you be interested in visiting my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?"
"My Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is ranked second in the world, and it's considered a rich and powerful sect, so if you're planning to travel the continent and explore the world of Soul Masters, visiting our sect would be a must!"
When Ning Fengzhi spoke those words,
The obvious flattery on his face was hard to miss.
On the surface, Ning Fengzhi was inviting Lu Yunzhou as a guest,
But in reality, he was trying to recruit him into the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Hearing this invitation,
Yu Yuanzhen immediately became anxious.
Was he supposed to watch as Ning Fengzhi poached Lu Yunzhou into his sect?
Of course not!
Thus, after collecting his thoughts, Yu Yuanzhen quickly spoke up,
"Mr. Lu, my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan isn't bad either."
"If you truly want to travel the continent and explore the world of Soul Masters, you must come visit my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. After all, my clan has a long history and rich cultural heritage."
"Our inherited martial spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, is known as the strongest beast martial spirit in the world!"
"Thus, for someone like you, who seeks to cultivate the heart in the mortal world, visiting my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is the perfect choice."
After saying this,
As if remembering something, Yu Yuanzhen added,
"I, Yu Yuanzhen, have an unworthy granddaughter, in her prime, who is… well…"
Upon hearing this,
Prince Xue Qinghe almost spat out the tea he had just poured.
So, to win over Lu Yunzhou,
Yu Yuanzhen was even offering up his precious granddaughter?
Just as Prince Xue Qinghe thought that Ning Fengzhi would offer something else to recruit Lu Yunzhou, rather than using his precious daughter,
Ning Fengzhi unexpectedly spoke up,
"I must confess, I also have a daughter…"
Before Ning Fengzhi could finish,
Lu Yunzhou's mind suddenly resonated with the cold, indifferent voice of the "Cultivator" system once again:
[System Alert: The host has been invited by Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. A mission has been issued.]
[Mission: Politely decline the invitations and establish your own faction.]
[Mission Details: The host must create a faction related to "Cultivators" or "Cultivation" within one month and begin recruiting! ]
[Mission Reward: Soul Technique—Golden Pill Chapter (One Golden Pill consumed will allow the user to control their destiny! This chapter will make the path to the Golden Pill realm possible!) ]
The sudden mission caught Lu Yunzhou off guard,
But after a moment of thought, he immediately accepted it without hesitation.
The system's mission was optional for Lu Yunzhou,
Doing it would bring rewards,
But not doing it would have no consequences.
As for why he accepted the mission,
Aside from bringing him closer to "Great Immortal Sutra,"
The real reason was simple.
Lu Yunzhou had no interest in joining the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, or any other faction like the Spirit Hall or an empire.
That's why,
Back at the city gates of Heaven Dou, Lu Yunzhou had already decided to create his own faction,
That way, other forces would only have the option of collaborating with him.
At the same time,
Lu Yunzhou was also keen on creating and building his own faction—a faction for "Cultivators!"
To be honest,
Lu Yunzhou wanted Cultivators to replace Soul Masters!
He aimed to make the entire Douluo Continent a world where everyone could cultivate, not just Soul Masters!
What Lu Yunzhou was doing,
Would shake the interests of countless individuals,
Especially those aristocratic Soul Masters,
But to Lu Yunzhou, it didn't matter. With his strength, anyone who dared to oppose him could try.
If they didn't want to end up as crushed bones, their souls scattered, they'd better think twice.
After accepting the mission,
Lu Yunzhou faced the invitations from Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen and replied directly:
"Gentlemen… I sincerely appreciate your kindness."
Upon hearing this,
Both Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen were momentarily stunned,
But after a moment, they tactfully handed over the floor to Lu Yunzhou, allowing him to speak.
Seeing this,
Lu Yunzhou didn't waste any time,
He went straight to the point and said,
"Gentlemen, to be honest, I am planning to create my own faction, and this faction will be closely tied to Cultivators."
After speaking,
He looked at Yu Yuanzhen and Ning Fengzhi, then asked,
"Would you two be willing to lend me a helping hand?"
Upon hearing Lu Yunzhou's words,
Both Yu Yuanzhen and Ning Fengzhi looked at each other in disbelief,
But after confirming they hadn't misheard,
They gave their answers.
