Moreover, just now, this ex… This senior brother had used the Dao Heart's Curse to break through the defenses of a Red Dust Immortal and save everyone's lives.
It was only right for them to repay his kindness.
Lu Xuan picked up the immortal robe in his hand and said, "This immortal robe is useless to me. When this fellow Daoist wakes up, everyone will take turns to fight and determine the first place in this mystical realm trial."
He pointed at Cheng Lingzhu, who had yet to wake up. The latter was the fellow Daoist that Lu Xuan had mentioned, and she was currently shrouded in a ball of mist.
"Senior Brother Lu, you are fair and we admire you, but there's no need for another battle." Ling Yufei took a step forward and said righteously, "In the chaotic battle just now, everyone witnessed Fellow Daoist Cheng's strength. The first place in this mystical realm trial has long been determined."
"Fellow Daoist Ling is right. There's no need to fight one-on-one. We have no objections!"
"Fellow Daoist Cheng's strength is obvious to all. It can be said that she deserves to be the first in this trial. There's no need for a one-on-one."
"Dao artifacts are like floating clouds to me. Cultivators of our generation should prioritize our own strength and not rely on external objects… I voluntarily withdraw from the competition!"
"Me too."
The group of disciples behind him nodded their heads vigorously and expressed their agreement.
What kind of joke was this? Even the combined efforts of two Holy Sons and saintesses of top-tier immortal sects and a successor of a first-rate sect couldn't defeat Cheng Lingzhu.
If not for the fact that the array in the depths of the hall was broken, Ling Yufei and Yue Tianya would have taken the opportunity to escape.
These two people would probably be killed and eliminated from the Secret Mystical Realm.
The disciples of the major sects weren't stupid. They had a good understanding of their own standards.
They didn't know if the Death Substitution Talisman had been repaired yet. With their strength, they would probably be beheaded with a sword.
"Alright then." Lu Xuan nodded.
Since no one had any objections, Lu Xuan agreed. He also felt that the standards of these disciples were a little lacking.
If they fought Cheng Lingzhu one-on-one now, they might not be very good and they wouldn't be able to hone themselves.
Lu Xuan was a reasonable person.
It was just like how he didn't kill Immortal Huan Zhen with one strike and used the Three Reflections technique to make her understand her mistake.
He studied at Sancai Academy, thus he was cultured and understood reason.
"Killing without teaching is called abuse, teaching without killing is called indulgence."
These were the words written in the book by the Sage.
It meant that before killing someone, he had to let the other party know where they had gone wrong.
If the other party refused to repent, he would kill them and record the matter so that others could know what the deceased had done wrong.
There was also a similar saying: "A gentleman is considerate but not inferior; a villain is inferior but not inferior."
It meant that a gentleman did not like to fight and could not fight with others for a week, but a villain was not like that. Therefore, in order to cultivate one's character, a gentleman should beat a villain up until he could not get up for a week.
There were many things in the world that could be solved with a single sword.
However, it was precisely because he had the strength to pull out this sword that Lu Xuan was very reasonable.
"As for this cultivation manual…"
Lu Xuan stood in front of the desk and picked up the Immortal Jade Scripture.
There were ancient words carved on it. Lu Xuan recognized that this was the name of the immortal scripture: Illusion Scripture.
He smiled.
"Those who see it will have a share. Everyone will share it equally."
As soon as these words were said, everyone present became excited.
"Senior Brother Lu, you are righteous! We will never forget you!"
"Senior Brother, I am extremely grateful for your kindness. I am willing to give you the artifacts I found in the cave!"
"Senior Brother, you are so bold that you make people admire you. If you don't mind my willowy appearance, I am willing to marry you…"
"The Spirit Charm Sect witch had better not come and trick me, alright?"
"You audacious witch, you actually harmed my Senior Brother Lu. Hey, I'm here to learn your demonic techniques. Today, I'll squeeze you to my heart's content!"
The hall was bustling with activity. Lu Xuan had a smile on his face. After a while, he said, "Where are the fellow Daoists from Sancai Academy?"
"Senior Brother Lu, over here."
Zhang Xun and Liang Xia stepped out with smiles on their faces, followed by the disciples of Sancai Academy.
"Come and help me copy this scripture. Fellow Daoists who are skilled in painting and calligraphy, come and copy it as well," Lu Xuan said.
"Yes, sir!" the disciples of the Sancai Academy responded. Several cultivators who had finished writing stepped forward to help.
The original version of the immortal scripture contained special spiritual power. Before understanding it, cultivators could not use their magic to record it and could only copy it sentence by sentence.
The reason was easy to understand. Before the great seniors ascended or passed away, they were determined to leave behind their inheritances. When they carved their painstaking efforts word by word into the jade book, they were naturally serious and solemn.
It was a sacred matter that concerned orthodoxy.
If a cultivator came up to take a jade storage, he could casually make a copy of the cultivation manual and throw it into his magic storage.
There was no sense of ceremony.
The process of copying was a formality to accept the inheritance. No one wanted their life's work to be treated casually by others.
Lu Xuan didn't copy the book with them. He set up a table at the side, took out a small notebook, and sat behind the table.
"Everyone, let's register first."
Lu Xuan's expression was friendly.
The disciples didn't understand why, but on second thought, it was probably because if the Dharma was not taught, the Dao couldn't be passed on to humans.
Senior Brother Lu imparted the cultivation technique to everyone, so of course, he had to remember the names.
Therefore, they stepped forward one by one and reported their names.
As disciples of major sects, everyone was familiar with each other and no one used fake names.
After everyone's names were memorized, Lu Xuan smiled.
"Alright, everyone, cultivate well. In the future, I will bring the successor of the Dushi Sword House to visit your sect and test the cultivation results of my junior brothers and sisters."
Yes, there were a few rogue cultivators among them, so there was no need to test them.
Pay a visit?
After hearing his words, the disciples of the major sects were dumbfounded.
Hong Yu, who was the closest to Lu Xuan, was excited and reacted the fastest. He grabbed Senior Brother Lu's hand.
"Senior Brother, I'm an Array Dao cultivator, so I can't fight. Can I just give up on this inheritance?"
"Array Dao is good. There is a future in learning Array Dao." Lu Xuan pulled his hand out and patted his shoulder. He said earnestly, "This large book is related to illusions. It just so happens to be combined with your Array Dao… Don't worry, the cultivation world values harmony, and sparring is naturally limited.
Hong Yu went back with a long face.
At this moment, some disciples had already finished copying the entire Illusion Scripture.
As a cultivator, the strength of his body was naturally different from that of ordinary people.
The speed at which they copied and carved was something that ordinary people couldn't even spot with their naked eyes. Moreover, they couldn't make any mistakes.
Cultivators who copied books were all famous geniuses. They would not do something that would harm others and not benefit themselves, such as secretly copying and altering the content and then deliberately giving it to others to learn.
Moreover, Lu Xuan was supervising the content. There were no mistakes in the content, not even in the words.
Lu Xuan picked up the original book and nodded after flipping through it.
At this time, everyone had already finished copying the immortal scriptures. Everyone present had a copy.
Lu Xuan stood behind the counter and looked at the disciples below.
Today, he would stand at the altar and give a speech.
