Chapter 1158: Jinta Lowers His Head; Boundless Taixu
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jinta was looking for Luo Yunyang!
This inner sect disciple’s words made the outer sect disciples around Luo Yunyang raise their eyebrows!
Why were they all running over to suck up to Luo Yunyang? It was all because they felt that Luo Yunyang’s backing had become stronger once more and they could gain benefits by being around Luo Yunyang.
However, before they could finish flattering him, Luo Yunyang was actually summoned by Yuan Venerate Jinta.
They all knew about the feud between Yuan Venerate Jinta and Luo Jiutian. It could even be said that Luo Jiutian had become a Taiyi Yuan Venerate by stepping over Yuan Venerate Jinta.
Luo Yunyang, who had not expected Yuan Venerate Jinta to look for him, glanced at the inner sect disciple and said, “I am a disciple of Yuan Sage Yuxi’s branch. I cannot be involved with Yuan Venerate Jinta. Please report back to Yuan Venerate Jinta that I cannot go.”
The inner sect disciple who had come to summon Luo Yunyang at first felt that he had shown Luo Yunyang enough respect.
After all, a Taiyi Yuan Venerate had summoned Luo Yunyang. However, he had never thought that Luo Yunyang would actually come up with such a reason and act like he was being very reasonable.
In the Taixu Sect, other than the ancestral master that had founded the sect, there were also 12 of his disciples. These 12 disciples were known as the 12 Yuan Sages. Each of them had a cultivation base that was at least capable of controlling a second sky law.
However, the founder had not passed down his position as sect master to any of the elder disciples. Instead, he had handed it down to his youngest disciple.
Although this young disciple had extraordinary talent, his cultivation base still could not hold a candle to his senior brothers’ cultivation.
Hence, there were 12 clear, distinct branches within the Taixu Sect.
The patriarch of the branch Luo Yunyang was in was Yuan Sage Yuxi, who was friendly with Luo Jiutian. Thus, Luo Jiutian had managed to make Luo Yunyang a core disciple of the Taixu Sect with the help of this person.
Yuan Venerate Jinta’s patriarch was at odds with Yuan Sage Yuxi so he had attacked Luo Jiutian.
As a result, even though the Taixu Sect seemed large, everyone was actually managing their individual affairs. The main reason the Taixu Sect had not collapsed was because their founding ancestral master was still around.
The entire Taixu Sect would stay as bonded as metal as long as their founding ancestral master just said a word.
The inner sect disciple was from the same branch as Yuan Venerate Jinta. Otherwise, he would not have been sent here to pass on a message. He already felt that he had displayed a good enough attitude but he had not expected that he would be turned away after conveying his message.
The reason given had also been very unpleasant.
This left him rather dumbfounded. However, it didn’t matter if Luo Yunayang accepted or rejected the invitation. After all, the dispute between two Yuan Sages wasn’t something an insignificant figure like him could comment on.
However, how was he going to tell Yuan Venerate Jinta when he failed to bring Luo Yunyang back? Should he act forcefully? Although he was confident that Luo Yunyang wasn’t a match for him, the masses were on his side so it was definitely not ideal to attack Luo Yunyang now.
“Senior Brother Yunyang!” After hesitating for a moment, the inner sect disciple said in a nearly pleading manner, “Senior Brother, this is the first time I have been assigned a task by Master Jinta. If I do not accomplish it, then…”
“Junior Brother, it doesn’t matter if you accomplish your task. You can come see me if you can no longer stay with Master Jinta.” While Luo Yunyang was not afraid of Yuan Venerate Jinta, he still felt that he should keep a low profile in a situation like this.
After all, it was much better to have some trump cards up his sleeves in this seemingly calm yet dangerous Vast Sky Sacred Realm.
The inner sect disciple left helplessly in the end. He had implored Luo Yunyang just to prove that he had done his best.
Whether he succeeded wouldn’t be up to him.
The outer sect disciples that were flocking around Luo Yunyang stared at him with their jaws agape. They were utterly shocked.
“Senior Brother Yunyang, is it alright if you do not see Yuan Venerate Jinta? I heard that Yuan Venerate Jinta isn’t a reasonable person!” an inner sect disciple whispered cautiously to Luo Yunyang.
Luo Yunyang waved his hand disapprovingly and said, “What’s the problem? Yuan Venerate Jinta just got his butt kicked by my father. He is in a bad mood so he was looking for me to vent his anger.”
“I would be a lamb about to be slaughtered if I headed over! What can he do to me if I don’t go? My father is no longer trapped, and I believe the other patriarchs would not allow Jinta to bully me.”
The outer sect disciples looked at Luo Yunyang with envy.
That’s right, they were shooting envious glances at him. They were extremely envious of Luo Yunyang. All of them were disciples of the Taixu Sect, but they did not have formidable backup so it was impossible for them to speak in a domineering manner like Luo Yunyang had.
It would be great if they could be as bold as Luo Yunyang.
Hence, the urge of these people to fawn over Luo Yunyang got stronger and their actions became more and more cordial.
“Junior Brother Yunyang, Master asked me to invite you over.” A short while later, a core disciple from the same branch as Luo Yunyang walked over to Luo Yunyang with a smile.
Luo Yunyang knew this particular core disciple but did not have much of a relationship with him. As a Taishi Yuan Venerate, Yang Zhan ranked 10th among the core disciples of the Taixu Sect and was considered one of the brightest geniuses.
Some people even said that it was basically a matter of time until Yang Zhan broke through and became a Taiyi Yuan Venerate.
“Senior Brother Yang Zhan, why is Uncle Master looking for me?” Although Luo Yunyang was in Yuan Sage Yuxi’s school, he didn’t have a master within the school.
This was because the entire Taixu Sect knew that he was only there to be idle, so no one really wanted to recruit such a disciple.
Yang Zhan was different. He was the disciple of Yuan Venerate Duo Long, the eldest disciple of Yuan Sage Yuxi, and could be considered much stronger than Luo Yunyang.
Yang Zhan glanced at Luo Yunyang with a complex look in his eyes before saying in a hushed tone, “Uncle Master Jinta sought out Master in hopes that he could negotiate peace with your father.”
Yuan Venerate Jinta had conceded!
Luo Yunyang was really surprised by the news but realized it was normal when he thought about it. Luo Jiutian was a War Emperor and a subordinate of the Sacred Venerate’s court. What went on between him and Yuan Venerate Jinta was just a personal grudge.
The elders of the Taixu Sect would not personally act and make things difficult for him as long as Luo Jiutian did not go too far.
Plus, this wasn’t a good thing for Yuan Venerate Jinta. It was tough to be constantly eyed by an opponent who was much stronger than him.
Since he couldn’t win, he might as well throw in the towel honestly to save himself the trouble in the future.
Luo Yunyang looked at Yang Zhan and smiled gently. “I will remember what Senior Brother told me this time and I will definitely pay you back for your kind deed.”
Yang Zhan wouldn’t have reacted with mockery or taken these words to heart if Luo Yunyang had said them before Luo Jiutian had become a Taiyi Yuan Venerate.
However, things had changed. Luo Jiutian had skyrocketed and become a true almighty of this realm. Thus, he might really be able to get a big favor if he won over Luo Yunyang.
“Junior Brother Luo is really humorous. We should look after each other in the future.”
Led by Yang Zhan, Luo Yunyang arrived at a huge palace. In the palace, two Taiyi Yuan Venerate powerhouses sat side by side. The one on the left was Yuan Venerate Jinta.
“Luo Yunyang, the reason I asked you to come here is to mediate the feud between Sir Luo Jiutian and Senior Brother Jinta.” Sitting opposite of Yuan Venerate Jinta was Yuan Venerate Duo Long, who smiled at Luo Yunyang.
Yuan Venerate Duo Long had been rather cold to Luo Yunyang in the past. He had merely regarded Luo Yunyang as someone he didn’t need to concern himself with. However, he had given Yuan Venerate Jinta face now and was smiling widely while interacting with Luo Yunyang.
Luo Yunyang grinned upon hearing the words of Yuan Venerate Duo Long. “Uncle Master, is there a grudge between Uncle Master Jinta and my father? If that’s the case, I will make amends with Uncle Master Jinta on my father’s behalf.”
Luo Yunyang acted innocently, as if he did not know anything at all. This made Yuan Venerate Jinta twitch with pent-up anger.
He wanted very much to lay things out with Luo Yunyang and discuss this matter. He did not want Luo Yunyang to shirk this responsibility.
“Ha ha… Martial Nephew Yunyang, you don’t know the whole story. It was Junior Brother Jinta who mishandled certain things and held a grudge against your father. This time, Junior Brother Jinta has prepared some gifts to make amends.”
Yuan Venerate Duo Long frowned slightly before smiling again.
Luo Yunyang hesitated for a moment and pretended that he knew nothing. “In that case, I… I should contact my father and hear what he says.”
“Good, Martial Nephew. Please do so!” Yuan Venerate Duo Long didn’t want Luo Yunyang to accomplish anything. The reason he had asked Luo Yunyang to come was only because he wanted Luo Yunyang to contact Luo Jiutian.
Luo Yunyang had the jade seal for communicating with Luo Jiutian and was able to get in touch with Luo Jiutian very quickly.
“Someone wants to talk about peace? Sure, agree with him but tell him that you want a spot to enter Boundless Taixu. Otherwise, there’s nothing else to talk about!” Luo Jiutian spoke before Luo Yunyang could say anything.
Boundless Taixu?
Luo Yunyang suddenly recalled that he had seen this term in the scripture depository. It was something similar to the ruins of a great war.
However, he wasn’t sure what sort of great war that was.
Since his father had actually asked for a spot to enter this location, could it be something good?
Luo Yunyang answered Yuan Venerate Duo Long right away. “Uncle Master, my father said it is good that the misunderstanding has been resolved. He is hoping that I can be granted the opportunity to enter Boundless Taixu and asks Uncle Master to agree to it.”
Yuan Venerate Duo Long’s face darkened when Luo Yunyang mentioned Boundless Taixu and Yuan Venerate Jinta stood up abruptly.
Obviously, this condition had really angered him.
“Can’t we discuss this? How about some other treasures?” Yuan Venerate Duo Long looked back at Luo Yunyang and spoke with a smile.
“I have no choice. It is my father’s decision!” Luo Yunyang raised both of his hands and acted innocent.
