Chapter 1191: Chapter 500: The World’s Splendor

The previous night.

Members of the Lu Family gathered around the dining table, enjoying each other’s company.

With the addition of Yun Duo, Miao Tong, and the other fox spirits, the atmosphere was livelier than usual.

No one wanted to bring up the activities planned for the next day, instead, laughter and joy occasionally echoed amid the clinking of glasses.

After the feast, Lu Jin’an leaned back in his chair, watching his Master and others, feeling especially peaceful.

Unfortunately, it was not yet a complete reunion.

Lu Jin’an glanced towards the direction of the back mountain; his Senior Sister’s heavenly tribulation was approaching fast.

"Would you like to take a walk with your Master?"

Feeling the gentle warmth of his Master’s left hand on his thigh, Lu Jin’an glanced again at Zhu Nanzhi, who was bickering with Qiu Qingtang, and smiled as he took Pei Wanyu’s hand and walked out of the courtyard.

A gentle breeze blew through, the leaves rustled softly, and the fireflies danced between the trees, setting a scene of tranquility and harmony.

Pei Wanyu, her cheeks flushed slightly, gently entangled her finger with Lu Jin’an’s palm: "Is there nothing you want to tell your Master?"

Lu Jin’an chuckled: "It’s just a mission, but if there is something to say, indeed there is."

"Oh?"

Pei Wanyu turned her head curiously to look at Lu Jin’an, who then took out the Sect Leader Token: "Master, I entrust the Wandao Sect to you."

In the Lower Realm, the opponents of the Human Clan are not only the Demon Clan but also the Three Divine Mountains of the Upper Realm.

Although it seems likely that Xuanri Mountain can be ruled out for now, having never seen Lu Yunzhu control Xuanri Mountain firsthand, coupled with Lu Yunzhu’s mysterious nature, Lu Jin’an could not be completely at ease.

Thus, in this matter, caution cannot be discarded.

Lu Jin’an believed that someone would certainly prevent his Master and others from coming to his aid, so he might as well have them hold the rear. In this way, he could ensure safety behind the lines and possibly tie up parts of the Upper Realm’s or other forces’ combat strength.

Pei Wanyu reached out to take the Sect Leader Token: "Is that all?"

"Yes." Lu Jin’an joked: "At times like this, it doesn’t do to say too many auspicious words."

Pei Wanyu’s eyes glinted with humor: "Indeed, even without substantial proof, it seems not saying them can be better still."

After a pause, she opened her arms: "Surely a hug is allowed?"

Lu Jin’an directly pulled his lovely Master into an embrace, inhaling the intoxicating fragrance she exuded, he slowly closed his eyes.

After a long while, Lu Jin’an released Pei Wanyu: "Then this disciple will take his leave."

"Where to?"

"Morning exercise."

"Going now?"

"Midnight is still morning."

Lu Jin’an smiled: "Consider it a warm-up beforehand."

"Master will watch over you."

In the plaza in front of Taichu Hall, the Dao Domain around Lu Jin’an flowed, and after opening the ninth Right Assistant Dao Palace, his three hundred and sixty-five acupoints within filled with abundant Vigorous Force.

And this benefit also fed back to his Spiritual Power, more Spirit Power than before circulating through his meridians, his momentum climbing steadily higher.

Pei Wanyu, standing on the stone steps, watched quietly her good disciple who could step into Divine Concealment at any moment, her gaze gentle.

This child has always known what his Dao is, so the barrier that has stumped countless Divine Hidden Immortals was no obstacle for him.

But the more Pei Wanyu watched, the more she felt her good disciple’s Dao was something other than earth-shattering.

Earth-shattering, an ancient enemy from times past, yet within her good disciple’s Dao Domain was a sense of natural harmony. What, after all, was it?

The morning sun shone on half of Pei Wanyu’s body; suddenly, the aura around Lu Jin’an became fierce, like a dragon that had long lurked in the depths leaping skyward.

The void began to twist, directly enshrouding Lu Jin’an.

Watching as the figure of her good disciple faded, Pei Wanyu took an instinctive step forward, hesitated, and nonetheless asked: "Jin’an, can you tell your Master, what your Dao truly is?"

Lu Jin’an glanced at his Master, softly saying: "The world’s splendor."

With one step, he concealed himself within heaven and earth.

······

In the Demon World, within the Qingqiu Qiu Clan Sacred Land, deathly silence reigned for miles on end.

At this moment, no one dared to breathe loudly... except for Zhiyu.

Zhiyu, hands still akimbo, wore an expression of delight because she knew well that Zhu Tianqi dared do nothing to her now.

Kneeling on the ground, Zhu Tianqi stared fiercely at the little girl in front of him, gradually regaining his senses.

Him, a dignified Demon Lord, had his face struck by a brick wielded by a mere Little Demon Emperor... and twice!

Of course, Zhiyu’s action would not injure him, and he felt no pain, but for the first time, a feeling unfamiliar to Zhu Tianqi emerged from the depths of his heart: humiliation.

To be insulted in such a manner by a Little Demon Emperor before so many Demon Saints...

Zhu Tianqi clenched his fists tightly, the Dragon Qi around him surging, and eventually dissipated into nothingness.

He couldn’t fight back!

He feared that in his anger, failing to control his strength might accidentally kill Zhiyu with a slap.

If Zhiyu died, her Dragon Blood would lose its vitality, and his grand plan would fall through.

Especially with... the Candle Dragon presently within the Dragon Soul Hall in the sky.

Zhiyu’s birth was closely linked to the Candle Dragon Egg that the Candle Dragon once laid; though not the Candle Dragon’s sole Bloodline, it wasn’t far off in significance.

If it provoked the deranged Candle Dragon into a rampage, it would be disastrous.

Zhu Tianqi closed his eyes; with the adage "out of sight, out of mind," a flash of insight crossed his mind.

Zhiyu using a brick to hit the Demon Lord himself was taught by Lu Jin’an, and since it was Lu Jin’an who taught it, why choose this moment, neither sooner nor later?

This was... a sign of battle initiation!

At this realization, Zhu Tianqi’s expression darkened, and with fury in his voice, he issued a low bellow: "To that spatial node, if Lu Jin’an shows even a hint, eliminate him without mercy!"
