The younger brothers all let the third brother give out commands. Third Brother was casting spells on one side to remove the leaves from the trunk and then energetically sucked out the moisture inside the tree from top to bottom, "This matter can be easy if said so but also difficult if considered deeply. We still need Big Brother to lead the charge."

Big Brother, with his boundless strength, was continuously cutting chunks of rock into equally sized rectangles with his Demon Light, and he muttered, "I wouldn't dare! We simply have no chance of successfully ambushing him! I've tried many times to spy on his inner thoughts and always found him thinking about how to eat us. He's wracking his brains to find a justifiable reason to devour us!" Towards the end, the eldest's voice was trembling.

"Big Brother is right!" said the fifth brother. "I am the best at detecting others' inner thoughts. Every time Mother lets us out, I spy on his inner thoughts to check his Divine Sense intentions. Every time, I see he's thinking about how to eat us. I have seen in his Sea of Consciousness how he cuts off Big Brother's limbs! He doesn't feel a bit of remorse! And the youngest, he soaked him in a wine jar and even added thousand-year ginseng!"

He listed over thirty different ways their brothers could die, all spied from Shi Feiyang's mind.

The others had occasionally spied on Shi Feiyang's consciousness too, but they weren't as proficient in their Dao Level. Every time their teasing would be noticed by Shi Feiyang, who would then immediately punish them with a painful blow from the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Ruler. Only that fifth brother was the best at this, detecting the most.

After hearing him out, the others all gasped in shock: Shi Feiyang was terrifyingly dreadful!

While they badmouthed Shi Feiyang with their mouths, they didn't slow down with their hands, the bricks and tiles needed for construction were swiftly made and transported to the mountaintop, where their mother was casting spells to build.

Shi Feiyang didn't choose to cast with the Five-Colored Divine Sand. He just wanted a regular Daoist Temple, not the kind of splendid Immortal Palace.

The house was still under construction when Lu Yu arrived.

This old woman was now quite happy, having contended with her senior brother for thousands of years, always being one step behind, but this time he had truly fallen into her hands.

Her senior brother was heading towards a dead end, about to collide with Shi Feiyang as Mars hits Earth, and she would step in to prevent it, avert a disaster.

But once the major crisis was over, she would also take her revenge very grudgingly, pushing her senior brother into the mire and letting him wallow in humiliation.

And that wasn't all, she said to Shi Feiyang, "I can guard him here. You, as someone fated through destiny, have many more matters to attend to. Go ahead without worry, I will ensure his safety."

Shi Feiyang said with a smile, "He is my head disciple. Naturally, it is my duty to personally guard and instruct him."

Lu Yu was somewhat surprised. She didn't expect Shi Feiyang to take it so seriously.

Her view was pretty much the same as that of Xin Ru Nun. Elder Kuzhu's reincarnation was as commonplace as a household meal. This reincarnation was merely using his own blood to repay a life debt and recognizing Shi Feiyang as his master was partly to mitigate some bad karma, and accumulate some good affinities.

She didn't think that Elder Kuzhu would really learn from him hand in hand like a child new to the Dao. After all, Elder Kuzhu was already a top-notch expert, one capable of enlightenment upon putting down the butcher's blade. It was merely a matter of taking the wrong path before and now adjusting the direction.

Even though his memories were sealed, it would not take many years before they would naturally restore themselves, and his Mana might even recover before his memories.

He didn't need to start learning from scratch.

But clearly, Shi Feiyang had a different future plan set out for Elder Kuzhu than she had thought.

Lu Yu added, "I have calculated the Heavenly Number of this realm, and soon there will be a great catastrophe. It should fall upon Deng Yin, the Blood Demon. Aren't you going to make some preparations in advance?"

When Shi Feiyang mentioned this matter, he also furrowed his brows, "The catastrophe of the Blood Demon has a precedent, and the most critical item is currently in my possession. As long as Deng Yin doesn't acquire it, this disaster will not occur. I also cannot preemptively do anything to him because I still need to utilize his power to confront another impending calamity, otherwise, another catastrophe will arise..."

Lu Yu asked what it was.

"The Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor."

"Is it him? What virtue and ability does he have..."

Lu Yu temporarily calculated with her fingers but didn't deduce anything particularly special.

"What virtue and ability does he have to trigger a catastrophe? One that could even rival the Blood Demon's calamity? Could it be just because of the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword in his possession?"

Shi Feiyang nodded, "Exactly, it's that Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword. Back then, we forged twelve Demon Swords in the Star Constellations Sea. My nine swords are Innate yet insufficient Acquired, while formidable, their power is limited. They were merely used to deter Emei and other Orthodox Sects, at most, they could only vie with Purple Ying and Green Rope. The other two swords are now in the hands of Po Tou Monk and his junior brother Chuanxin Monk. Those two Demon Monks and the paired swords will have their own karma in the future. Though troublesome, they also present several benefits, the pros and cons of which are unclear at the moment. The most fearsome is the one in the hands of Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor, that one truly possesses the power to slay immortals!"

Lu Yu still felt unconvinced, "I know that sword harnesses the Primordial Spirit of Chi You, but so what? With our Dao Level, let alone a lonely ghost from a thousand years ago, even if the real Chi You were still alive, we wouldn't fear him!"

Shi Feiyang laughed, "If it were merely Chi You, that would also be manageable, but Chi You was slain by Emperor Xuanyuan, dismembered into eight pieces, and his Primordial Spirit was split into three parts. He harbored grudges for thousands of years and had long entered the Demon Path, and then was forged into the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword... I can't say for certain what exactly it's capable of. He has altered much of the Heavenly Number, and I currently cannot even deduce his whereabouts. Even with your Mana, when you calculated future events related to him, they seemed ordinary, which speaks volumes to his skills."

Lu Yu fell silent. Although she still wasn't convinced internally, she chose not to continue arguing with Shi Feiyang. Though Shi Feiyang was the savior destined in her life who could help her through the ultimate calamity, she didn't believe that Shi Feiyang was truly much stronger than her. If Magical Treasures were not counted, Shi Feiyang would not be her match.

Even Elder Kuzhu, who had been gravely defeated, mainly fell victim to her Dao, as she caught him off guard, subtly and silently controlling his Primordial Spirit. Otherwise, Shi Feiyang's Void Illusion Realm would never have ensnared his senior brother.

She decided to find Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor herself, seize the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword from him, and see what was so remarkable about it.

Then, capture the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor himself and present him before Shi Feiyang, leaving the disposal up to him. By then, she would see what he had to say!

"Since you are so fond of my senior brother, you may stay here and watch over him. This old lady has other matters to attend to, so I shall take my leave!"

After speaking, Lu Yu turned and transformed into a streak of pure white chill light, shooting into the clouds and vanishing from sight.

Shi Feiyang watched her departure, aware that numerous variables would emerge. A person like Lu Yu, with high Mana, could influence countless variables with just one move.

For example, an ordinary person burning down a house would have a limited impact in terms of both spatial and temporal scope; in a few months, it might be rebuilt.

However, Lu Yu could sink an entire continent, implicating countless lives and properties, frequently resulting in not even grass growing within miles for the lighter consequences, and the temporal impact was even more long-lasting since a mountain takes many years to form.

Due to the vast and numerous variables, and with Lu Yu intent on concealing and altering the Heavenly Number, Shi Feiyang couldn't deduce her exact future for the time being.

However, overall, this old woman joining his side was considered a strong ally.

There was also that youngster Elder Kuzhu. Although some effort was needed to cultivate him, the more input, the more properly he would grow, and the more trouble-free he would be in the future...
