This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome

Oh, how the tides had turned over one night. The last thing that people had expected from the Tempest Alliance Convention—which was supposed to divide the territories of the Earth—was that it became the venue for the reshuffling of the Five Consolidations. All that unvarying hierarchy that had lasted for decades would alter. The news had spread like wildfire, rapid and far. Without a doubt, it would become the talk of the town, making an immense impact on history.

When Lu Xuan, Lin Ziyi, Lu Shanshan, Lu Guoguo, and the others had returned to the Holy Nun Gate, they had caused an instant uproar. The return of two elites of the Consolidation Realm at the same time was sensational news.

​ 

Lu Xuan had remembered the first time he was here—he was merely a junior, an elite of the Three Flower Realm. Things had changed since then as he had now returned as a legendary elite. His Cultivation had come second to the Sect Leader of the Xuanhuo Sect, and he currently controlled a Jiao Dragon, which had matched equally with Long Feihua.

Since the good news from the Tempest Alliance Convention had arrived quicker before Lu Xuan and his group would return, all disciples of the Holy Nun Gate rushed over upon their arrival. They were hoping to have a glimpse of the Jiao Dragon that had contended the Xuanhuo Sect Leader.

Alas, they arrived disappointed as the dragon was not around anymore—Lu Xuan had directed the Deep Sea Poison Jiao Dragon to return to the Sky Ocean Secret Realm to train. He had hoped that the battle with the Xuanhuo Sect Leader would have inspired his dumb dragon to train harder.

As there was no limit to the universe, there would always be someone better than you. He thought it should stop overweening, and it did. It was clamoring about how it would go all out in its training and cultivating, and until the next time it would meet the Xuanhuo Sect Leader again, it would be able to kick his *ss.

As they swarmed around Lu Xuan and the others, Lin Ziyi chased her overly enthusiastic disciples away with a stern look on her face. Then, she led her guests to the guest hall.

Lu Xuan had just been seated when Lu Shanshan, who was sitting across him, flashed him a wink as she spoke, “Look, Xuan. You’re the hotshot in our sect. We do have a lot of good-looking young ladies here. How about you pick your partner from one of them so that we’ll have a new sister? We don’t mind.”

Lu Xuan chuckled at her idea of setting him up on a blind date.

Going with the flow, Lu Guoguo started making fun of him. “She’s right. I’ve received a letter from Mother not long ago. She wants us to set you up on a blind date and get married soon. We have so many gorgeous-looking ladies around. Just pick any one of them. I can’t wait to have a baby nephew or niece to play with.”

To the others, Lu Xuan might look like a devil, a walking demon lord. Yet to the two sisters, he was still their dearest older brother.

Lu Xuan scowled at Lu Guoguo. “So you’re asking me to have a baby so that you can play with it?”

Sitting by their side and listening to their conversation, Lin Ziyi’s face had lit up. She couldn’t help herself but imagine that if he had married one of her disciples, their alliance would be even more solid. They would be closer than ever.

Moreover, she had previously reviewed the constitutions of Lu Shanshan and Lu Guoguo. She knew that their family was born with Taoism aptitude. Their bloodline was special. They would be the kings of the same realm, and they could even challenge their higher-ups. From the talent and strength displayed by the Lu siblings, she had witnessed how impressive their bloodlines were. As far as she knew, there was no bloodline in the entire Tempest Ocean Realm that could compete with the born Taoism aptitude.

If Lu Xuan would marry her disciple and give birth to a progeny, their bloodline would remain in the Holy Nun Gate. Forever. It would then become the pillar of support of their sect. So, Lin Ziyi was looking forward to having their sect grew into the same league as the Xuanhuo Sect.

Lu Xuan didn’t know what was going on in her mind. She had already pictured their future, her plans big and ambitious. Somehow, he had become her Alexandre Dumas.

“My fellow Xuan. Shanshan and Guoguo are right. You are old enough to get married. How about this, you tell me who you wish to have, and I’ll send her to your chambers,” Lin Ziyi rushed out her words.

Lu Shanshan had almost laughed out at Lin Ziyi’s sudden zealousness. “Master, I think you should ask our sisters if they’re willing to do so.” She and Guoguo were teasing him, but they had never expected Lin Ziyi to take it this seriously.

“How dare they refuse him? Lu Xuan is an eligible bachelor. If they aren’t satisfied, are they going to marry someone like the Jade Emperor instead?” Lin Ziyi said.

The three of them were a good laugh. As he across them, Lu Xuan’s lips curved into a half-smile. “My fellow Ziyi. I think you’ll make a good candidate. Maybe you should consider me then.”

“Pfft. You pervert!” Her cheeks had flooded bright red. “I was kind enough to be your matchmaker. How could you make fun of me!” She then changed the topic, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. Now that you’ve completely offended that old fellow Long Feihua, what plans do you have for the future?”

He said straightforwardly, “I plan to rebuild Yunxuan Villa in the Tempest Ocean Realm and pass down my Cultivation method. When the time comes, I’d like to ask you for your assistance.”

His Cultivation had already reached the Late-stage Consolidation Realm. If he had returned to Earth now, he would have been restricted by the laws of Earth, paying a cosmic price for descending. It was why remaining in the Tempest Ocean Realm was a better choice.

He, too, had no wish of living under someone else’s roof. He might as well rebuild Yunxuan Villa here, pass down his magic, and spread his skills. He didn’t mind passing down his Great Path at all—he was a big picture thinker, a strategist. Not all commoners would have understood his mighty plans.

With a pat to her perky breasts, her face was solemn as she promised, “No problem. Though we from the Holy Nun Gate is ranked last in the land of Cultivation, we could still offer our help with such trivial matters.”

“Great. I have already chosen the location to build the Yunxuan Villa,” he said.

“I wonder where you have chosen, my friend?” she asked.

“It’s at the Impetus Lake. It is not far from here, and perhaps you could be of my companion.” He had revealed his address. It was less than 250 kilometers away from the Holy Nun Gate. With the power of one cultivator, 250 kilometers was indeed a close distance. It wouldn’t be wrong to call each other neighbors. Because he knocked around Tempest Ocean Realm from his past life, he happened to spot this place, hence his decision.

“Huh. I had never expected you to pick this place.” She looked at him with a strange expression on her face.
