The Legend of the Great Saint: Start from the Sign-in at Mount Tai

Chapter 445 Honorary Cult Leader of the Heavenly Court
Upon hearing Yan Ruyu's words, some people present turned their gaze to Lu Zhou.

To this day, the impression that the Dragon Girl gives to the outside world is still the same as the impression she left on the outside world in the original work.

Unlike the other princes of ancient times who were active and high-profile, she was like a fairy flower that was secluded from the world.

In the original novel, most of the cultivators in the Big Dipper did not know that the Dragon Emperor had a daughter who survived to this life until the Dragon Nest was destroyed by Ye Fan and the old man of the Human Demon.

It wasn't until then that many people realized that there was also an ancient princess in the Dragon Nest.

The Dragon Girl is a homebody, a typical shut-in, and has a very aloof personality.

She rarely went out, and basically did not participate in any of the various gatherings of religious practitioners, nor did she join in any excitement.

The outside world rarely hears any news about her.

Nowadays, in the minds of many cultivators, it seems that the Dragon Girl has only shown her face twice in all these years.

One instance was when Lu Zhou led his troops to destroy the Divine Spirit Valley.

Another instance was when the All Races Conference was held at Yaochi.

Both of these events occurred more than ten years ago.

For nearly ten years, there has been absolutely no news about the Dragon Girl, and no one has reported encountering her anywhere.

People don't know what level of cultivation the Dragon Girl has, what her social circle is, whether she has embarked on the trial path, or anything about her current situation.

All of this seems to be telling the world about the mystery of the Dragon Girl and her uniqueness!
However, some people present knew, such as Shi Yao, Huo Lin'er, Yan Ruyu, and the rather gossipy Yao Xi, etc.
They all knew that there was some ambiguous relationship between the Dragon Girl and Lu Zhou, and that some lecherous man might have been eyeing the Dragon Girl all along.

They know about dragon knights and stuff.

The Dragon Girl also seems to have quite a bit of affection for Lu Zhou.

Now, Wanlongchao is lending the ancient imperial weapon, Wanlong Bell, to Kunzhou to repay a favor, which they can understand.

This is similar to how, during the Battle of Qinling, the Divine Continent Dynasty lent its imperial weapons to the enemy of Lu Zhou because it owed someone a favor.

This time, however, Wanlongchao, out of gratitude, had just lent the Wanlong Bell to Kunzhou when he immediately informed Yan Ruyu about it, as well as Kunzhou and the others' plans to lead an attack on the Demon Court.
It was the Dragon Girl herself who came to the Demon Court to tell Yan Ruyu in person.

The reasons behind this made Yan Ruyu and Yao Xi think a lot.

There's no doubt about it; it's definitely because of Lu Zhou that the Dragon Girl acted this way.

Yan Ruyu asked the Dragon Girl why she had tipped her off.

Why are you telling me all this?

"What you're doing will likely have some impact on the reputation of your Wanlong Nest afterwards!"

The Dragon Girl seemed somewhat guilty as she avoided Yan Ruyu's gaze. After a moment of silence, she spoke to Yan Ruyu.

"The debt that Wanlong Nest owes is to Di Que, not to Kun Zhou. This time, Kun Zhou came to our door demanding repayment of the debt we owe Di Que. The fact that we accepted it is already more than enough!"

"What I do next is none of his business, and it's none of anyone else's place to interfere!"

"Just because of this reason?"

Yan Ruyu smiled broadly, a hint of teasing creeping into her beautiful eyes.

The dragon girl didn't speak again. She used her slender, white fingers to tidy a strand of hair behind her ear before flying away from the demon court.

It was precisely because of the Dragon Girl's advance warning that the Demon Court was able to make more solid preparations for this battle, ultimately allowing the Demon Court to annihilate all the invading enemies outside the Demon Court with almost no losses.

Lu Zhou noticed those gazes, but he didn't say anything. The image of the Dragon Girl flashed through his mind, and he decided to visit the Myriad Dragon Nest sometime in the future.

Besides the matter of this battle, Lu Zhou and Ye Fan, who hadn't seen each other for many years, naturally talked about some things Ye Fan did on Earth.

This time, Ye Fan and Ji Zi returned to Beidou without bringing too many people with them.

Among those who returned with them were Ji Ziyue and Qin Yao, as well as Xiao Tongtong and Jiang Yanran.

As for Xiao Tongtong and Jiang Yanran's family, they stayed on Earth with Ye Fan's parents.

Years have passed, and Xiao Tongtong and Jiang Yanran, the golden couple who possess the essence of the sun and moon, have grown up and both have broken through to the Sendai realm.

In just over two years since they returned to Beidou, they have already become well-known in Beidou and are often talked about by many cultivators.

Subtly, they have already been recognized as one of the most outstanding representatives of the younger generation in the Eastern Wilderness, just like Lu Zhou and the holy sons and daughters of various religions back then.

Lu Zhou and the others are no longer part of the younger generation of Beidou.

Time.
This is a true reflection of the reality that talented people emerge in every generation.

They greeted Lu Zhou respectfully, addressing him as "Uncle-Master."

It's not just respect, but also genuine respect, admiration, and gratitude.

They all knew very well that if Lu Zhou hadn't saved their family back then, their parents and relatives would have long since turned to dust, and they wouldn't be where they are today.

Lu Zhou smiled and raised his hand in a gesture of support, telling them not to stand on ceremony, and then casually gave them some small gifts.

Besides Xiao Tongtong and Jiang Yanran respectfully greeting Lu Zhou, there was another person who also greeted Lu Zhou, addressing him as "Uncle-Master Lu Zhou".

He was the disciple Ye Fan took in on Earth, the same Zhang Qingyang who, in the original story, also came to Beidou with Ye Fan from Earth.

One thing that must be said is that despite Lu Zhou's interference, Zhang Qingyang still became a preacher of the Heavenly Court.

and
The Heavenly Court was still established.

This is a long story, but it was foreshadowed and can be considered a natural progression.

As mentioned long ago, Qi Luo had taken a liking to Lu Zhou and Ye Fan many years ago and wanted to bring them into the Heavenly Court.

However, Lu Zhou had little interest in the Heavenly Court. When Qi Luo approached him, Lu Zhou even strongly recommended Ye Fan, who was already favored by Qi Luo.

More than two years ago, when Yuan Gu challenged Ye Fan, Qi Luo happened to approach Ye Fan to discuss having him join the Heavenly Court.

Worried that Ye Fan might refuse the matter like Lu Zhou, Qi Luo once again brought in Hei Huang and Yan Yixi, his two fellow disciples, to act as persuaders.

Little did he know that even without bringing in the Black Emperor and his group as intermediaries, Emperor Ye would not turn away the Heavenly Court, which was practically offering itself up to him.

Not to mention that Ye Tiandi has always been a rather ambitious person, always wanting to make a name for himself no matter where he is.

Just because he's now with Ji Ziyue and Qin Yao, and he also has to support his parents' cultivation.

Emperor Ye was also preparing to make a name for himself.

Ji Ziyue is the apple of the Ji family's eye, and Qin Yao is a princess of the Demon Court. Both of them are extremely distinguished and noble.

Emperor Ye didn't want them to suffer after following him.

Another one, although he was also outstanding and had made a great name for himself in the Big Dipper, was often referred to as the Holy Body of the Human Race when people mentioned him.

However, this world is never short of gossipy people, or those who are jealous that Ye Fan managed to abduct both the Ji family princess and the Demon Court princess.

Although those people didn't dare to say anything openly to Ye Fan's face, over the years, they had privately made quite a few sarcastic remarks about Ye Fan dating a rich woman.

They believed that Ye Fan, based solely on his title as a human holy body, was not qualified to have Princess Ji and Princess Yao Ting on either side of him. They also believed that although Ye Fan was outstanding, he was ultimately just a lone cultivator without a powerful force to rely on, lacking foundation, and therefore not worthy of being Ji Ziyue and Qin Yao's equal status.

Such dissent was not limited to outsiders; even some members of the larger Ji family still harbored such thoughts or complaints.

These things, more or less, also reached Ye Fan's ears.

Ye Tiandi, who has a strong sense of self-respect, would not argue with those people.

He actually felt that some of the criticisms were valid.

He will silence everyone with his actions.

The idea of ​​establishing a lineage and building a powerful force had long been part of Emperor Ye's plans.

When Qi Luo approached him, it could be said that he and Emperor Ye hit it off immediately.

The assassin organization Heavenly Court has a long history and is overseen by Qi Luo, a demigod. In addition, his friends Black Emperor, Yan Yixi, and Li Tian have also been tricked into joining Heavenly Court by Qi Luo.

For Ye Tiandi, who was already planning to make a name for himself, there was no better starting point than this.

Therefore, Emperor Ye readily agreed to Qi Luo's request.

In addition, just like in the original story, if he's going to do something, he's going to do something big.

He would never allow his Heavenly Court to be nothing more than a lowly assassin organization.

He spoke to Qi Luo, Hei Huang, and the others.

"Since it is called the Heavenly Court, then it should be the Heavenly Court of myths and legends, a true Heavenly Court!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Luo's old eyes immediately lit up.

I felt like I had met a kindred spirit.

He was the first to speak up and support Ye Fan's idea, fearless of anything.

Qi Luo dedicated his entire life to the Heavenly Court. His greatest wish was to see the Heavenly Court regain its former glory and become even better.

In the original work, Ziro's ambitions were also clearly mentioned.

He once shouted to Ye Fan that if he was going to do something, he should be the best in the world. He wanted to recreate not just the ancient assassin dynasty, but the true mythical Heavenly Court!

Now, Ye Fan's idea is exactly what he wanted.

With this goal in mind, they immediately formulated many plans for the future development of the Heavenly Court, just as mentioned in the original work.

This includes recruiting a large number of people to collect all the strongest physiques in the world that can be collected.

In the past two years, many people have been invited by them to join the Heavenly Court.

In addition, there's Ye Fan's apprentice Tongtong, Jiang Yanran with the Taiyin Body, and the dragon horse that Ye Fan brought out from Kunlun when he became an immortal, and so on.
The Heavenly Court is now thriving and has become another super power renowned throughout the Big Dipper.

Compared to the Heavenly Court of the same period in the original work, it can be said to be stronger, if not weaker, in terms of its foundation, development potential, or other aspects.

Nowadays, the respectful titles bestowed upon Ye Fan by the outside world have expanded from the original titles of Human Saint Body, Ji Family Son-in-Law, and Demon Court Prince Consort to include the title of Lord of Heaven.

At the same time, seeing that the Heavenly Court is becoming stronger and stronger, and that Fuyi has officially appeared in the world, it is no weaker than some major religions, or even holy lands of the level of the Four Symbols Holy Land.

This also caused some of those who had previously voiced their dissent behind his back to gradually shut up.

Whether it's the Ji family members who have always been ambitious and have nothing better to do than gossips, they're all speechless now.

Putting aside Ye Fan's already abnormal cultivation talent and combat power, Ye Fan, who has become the Lord of the Heavenly Court, is now fully worthy of the Ji family princess and the Demon Court Princess in terms of status and position.

Ye Tiandi is now enjoying success in both his career and love life, and he is becoming more and more radiant.

Lu Zhou was very pleased with Ye Fan's current achievements and development, and sincerely congratulated him.

Ye Fan waved his hand and asked Lu Zhou with a smile.

“You said long ago that you were also preparing to establish your own lineage. I thought that after I came back this time, the lineage you created had already been established, but there has been no reaction.”

"So? What are you thinking now?"

His question immediately drew the attention of everyone present.

They had all heard Lu Zhou mention, to varying degrees, that he was preparing to establish his own lineage.

No one would think that Lu Zhou lacks the ability.

They all believed that if Lu Zhou established a lineage, then that lineage would definitely stand at the very top of this pyramid in a very short time.

It has become another great lineage and force of supreme power in this world.

Upon hearing the news that Lu Zhou intended to create his own lineage, many cultivators openly expressed their anticipation.

The vast majority of them are independent cultivators.

Those independent cultivators thought that since you, the Overlord Immortal, wanted to establish your own lineage, you must recruit people, right?
They had high hopes for Lu Zhou, who was able to send out multiple copies of the Imperial Scripture.

Meeting the gazes of the monkey and Ye Fan, Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.

“Establishing one’s own lineage is possible at any time, but after thinking about it, it seems unnecessary now. In addition, I have some things to take care of, so let’s wait a few more years before discussing the matter of establishing a lineage!”

Upon hearing Lu Zhou's words, Qi Luo immediately tried to seduce him again.

"In that case, why don't you join our Heavenly Court temporarily, just like Li Tian and the others!"

That old rascal still has his eye on Lu Zhou.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Hei's eyes lit up as he began to flirt with Lu Zhou, saying that if Lu Zhou was willing to temporarily join the Heavenly Court, then Lu Zhou would be the honorary leader of the Heavenly Court, on equal footing with him.

He could even relinquish his position as the Lord of Heaven and demote himself to the position of Executive Vice Lord of Heaven.

Upon hearing this, Black King immediately perked up.

He vehemently criticized Ye Hei for being extremely unkind.

The Executive Vice Leader of Heaven is someone no one can take from him.

After some laughter and banter, Lu Zhou agreed to Ye Hei's request and accepted the title of Honorary Leader of the Heavenly Court. This made that old bastard Qi Luo extremely happy.

He secretly thought that only Ye Hei could handle this matter.

If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have the face to make Ba Xian nod in agreement.

In fact, Lu Zhou was really doing this out of consideration for Ye Fan.

Ye Fan rarely spoke to him like this. Given their relationship, he could accept the title of Honorary Leader of the Heavenly Court without hesitation.

Afterwards, everyone present continued to toast and chat.

Inevitably, as they chatted, someone asked about Lu Zhou's situation in the past few years and where he had gone.
Speaking of this, Lu Zhou realized that he seemed to have overlooked something.
