Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Lu Yunzhou's Purpose and the Sunset Forest's Dugu Bo
After confirming multiple times that he hadn't misheard or misunderstood, a look of disbelief was plainly visible on Yu Xiaogang's face. He couldn't help but swallow nervously several times.
Gradually regaining his composure, a wave of despair surged in his heart.
Just as Yu Xiaogang thought the humiliation was already unbearable, Bibi Dong revealed the contents of the three golden lights to everyone present.
When the information within the golden light was fully revealed, the entire audience erupted into an uproar!
"I remember Sanctuary Master Lu previously stating that the assessment was divided into four grades: Outstanding, Excellent, Average, and Poor. But Yu Xiaogang managed to add two entirely new grades—Abysmal and Beyond Terrible. You have to admit, he's truly something else!"
"Tsk tsk, stealing the Spirit Hall's ancient texts was already despicable, but to plunder even his own clan's archives? Remarkable talent!"
"Feigning humility while benefiting from Spirit Hall, yet harboring hatred toward it? It's simply revolting!"
"And he dares to call himself an Honorary Elder of the Spirit Hall? When did the qualifications for such a title drop so low?"
As the crowd voiced their disdain, their sharp criticisms echoing back and forth, Yu Yuanzhen suddenly spoke, his voice booming like thunder.
"Yu Xiaogang, from this day forward, you are no longer a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"Additionally, your name shall be expunged from the family records. Furthermore, regarding the matter of your suspected theft of our clan's ancient texts, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will follow the Spirit Hall's lead in forming an investigative team. If the allegations prove true—death without mercy!"
As Yu Yuanzhen finished, arcs of crackling thunder, as thick as an adult's arm, coiled around his body.
Clearly, he was not joking. Yu Yuanzhen's anger was palpable, his fury reaching its zenith.
One investigation by the Spirit Hall was already enough to put Yu Xiaogang in dire straits. Now, with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan joining the fray, it was evident to all that Yu Xiaogang's fate was sealed. There was no escape—only certain death awaited him.
As she looked at the evaluation and results displayed in the golden light, Liu Erlong was overwhelmed with disappointment.
No strength, no ability, no perseverance, and not even the most basic sense of morality.
At that moment, Liu Erlong couldn't comprehend how she could have been so blind to have fallen for such a man.
It was at this time that Lu Yunzhou spoke, his voice imbued with Spiritual Energy, resonating directly in the minds and ears of everyone present.
"Everyone, the Ethereal Sanctuary's recruitment ceremony concludes here today. To express our gratitude for your support, the Ethereal Sanctuary will host a grand competition open to all beings across the continent one month from now."
"The competition's prizes include Soul Bones, immortal herbs, and immortal techniques. Anyone interested may register to participate!"
With a gentle wave of his right hand, Lu Yunzhou activated the Vermilion Bird Teleportation Array, one of the sixteen formations of the Heavenly Jade Array, swiftly sending away all irrelevant individuals from Giant Sword Mountain.
After the crowd dispersed, Lu Yunzhou stood with his hands behind his back, his figure gradually coming into view.
"Greetings, Sanctuary Master."
Understanding that Lu Yunzhou likely had important matters to discuss, Qian Daoliu was the first to speak, bowing slightly with a respectful tone.
When Qian Daoliu spoke, he bent at the waist and nodded slightly, expressing his utmost reverence for Lu Yunzhou.
The Sanctuary Master was the Sanctuary Master.
A son-in-law was a son-in-law.
Qian Daoliu could distinguish the two.
As Qian Daoliu's words fell, the other core elders, inner sect elders, and outer sect elders followed suit in unison, bowing slightly and respectfully saying, "Greetings, Sanctuary Master."
Witnessing this, the new disciples such as Zhu Zhuqing and the new supervisors, deacons, and instructors like Liu Erlong also wisely followed suit. "Greetings, Sanctuary Master."
"At ease," Lu Yunzhou replied indifferently, offering a calm response before continuing.
"From this day forth, the Ethereal Sanctuary is officially established and revealed to the world."
"And at the grand competition one month from now, I hope you will all perform exceptionally, earning renown for us cultivators. Therefore, today, I shall impart to you the true foundational techniques of cultivation to empower you for the competition."
Without wasting any time, Lu Yunzhou retrieved two techniques: the Inner Energy Conversion Method and the Spirit Gathering Technique.
In the blink of an eye, he transmitted the methods directly into everyone's minds with unparalleled speed.
As the techniques imprinted themselves into their consciousness, Lu Yunzhou's grand voice echoed in their minds like a deity's proclamation.
"These two internal cultivation techniques are the foundation of everything in the Ethereal Sanctuary. Without my permission, no one is allowed to spread them. Is that clear?"
Receiving this reminder—or warning—from Lu Yunzhou, the new disciples immediately responded in unison, "We shall obey the Sanctuary Master's command!"
Satisfied with their response, Lu Yunzhou nodded before adding, "The remaining rules and matters of the Ethereal Sanctuary will be explained by Supreme Elder Qian Daoliu. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave."
Without waiting for Qian Daoliu's response or giving anyone a chance to react, Lu Yunzhou vanished in an instant.
Dumbfounded, Qian Daoliu stood in place, utterly unprepared for the sudden responsibility assigned to him. However, for the sake of his future great-grandsons and great-granddaughters, he resolutely accepted the task.
After Lu Yunzhou's departure, Gu Yuena, her gaze sharpening, hurriedly followed him for the sake of the Soul Beasts' future.
"Xue'er, how about accompanying me to the Sunset Forest?"
After delegating matters to his father-in-law, Qian Daoliu, Lu Yunzhou sought out Qian Renxue.
He hadn't forgotten his promise to hold a proper wedding for Qian Renxue. This journey to the Sunset Forest was not only to invite his "family" but also to enlist the help of Dugu Bo as a guardian.
Three years ago, when Lu Yunzhou first transmigrated into this world, he was an orphan without a place to call home. Fortunately, he was taken in by the eccentric Dugu Bo. Without Dugu Bo's assistance, Lu Yunzhou would have perished long ago.
In a sense, Dugu Bo was akin to a father figure.
Beyond inviting Dugu Bo, Lu Yunzhou had another goal in the Sunset Forest: retrieving a priceless item—something that could rival the value of the Dragon God's Heart.
