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

Chapter 453 Should We Play Like This?

"I've made up my mind. I'm willing to become your follower and go with you to see the vast starry sky."

This was the first thing the Golden-Winged Roc King said to Lu Zhou after he approached him.

The Golden-Winged Roc King of today is significantly different from the Golden-Winged Roc King in the original story.

This piqued Lu Zhou's interest.

Putting that aside, the Golden-Winged Roc King is now considered half an imperial prince, and because of the Old Roc King, he has also become a member of the Demon Court.

This was enough to make Lu Zhou, who cherishes talent, extend an olive branch to him and train him.

Lu Zhou's assessment of him was that the current Golden-Winged Roc King's cultivation foundation was no weaker than that of his follower, Kane.

If the two have similar circumstances, their future achievements will most likely be roughly equal.

Now, after years of training by Lu, Kane has firmly established himself in the Eight Forbidden Realms and can be considered a slightly weaker Emperor-level existence.

There is a high probability that he will become another quasi-emperor level powerhouse in the future, and can fight alongside him in the Immortal Realm.

At the banquet three days ago, the Golden-Winged Roc King and the Old Roc King came together to toast Lu Zhou.

They all believed that the reason why the Golden-Winged Roc King had changed so much from the arrogant Golden-Winged Roc King of the past and had become so much better was largely due to Lu Zhou.

It was Lu Zhou who woke up the Golden-Winged Roc King, making him understand that there are always people more capable than him, and that there is always something beyond his understanding.

Looking back, they were always grateful to Lu Zhou, but they had never thanked him in person.

Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to toast Lu Zhou and express my gratitude.

It was at this moment that Lu Zhou raised his glass and addressed the Golden-Winged Roc King.

"You are quite good. If nothing unexpected happens, I believe you will definitely reach the heights of your ancestor and become another unparalleled great sage in this world!"

"Are you interested in becoming my follower, like Kane?"

"Come with me, and let's see the vast world beyond!"

Lu Zhou only extended an invitation to the Golden-Winged Roc King, without making any promises to him.

Even so, upon hearing Lu Zhou's words, the already somewhat drunk Old Peng King immediately sobered up considerably.

Old Peng Wang was so excited that his body trembled, and he almost couldn't wait to agree to this on behalf of his beloved grandson.

He knew all too well just how strong Kane was right now.

During the great war of the Demon Court a year ago, it wasn't just Ye Fan and Hua Yunfei who defeated the half-saints.

Kane, a follower of Lu Zhou, also swiftly and decisively killed more than one half-saint in full view of everyone.

There was even a saint!
After that day, many cultivators speculated that Kane might soon become a saint!
At the same time, Old Peng King was also well aware of the enviable treatment he would receive after becoming Lu Zhou's follower.

First and foremost, it is its place in this world.

Nowadays, few cultivators are unaware that as a follower of the Overlord Immortal, one can, to a certain extent, represent Lu Zhou's words, actions, and attitude.

Kane had long been a guest of honor among many forces in the Northern Dipper, and was the object of many cultivators' flattery and fawning.

This also reflects the current status of Lu Zhou's maids in this world.

There's no need to worry about status, cultivation resources, or power; you don't need to overthink any of it.

From the moment they became Daoist partners, followers, or maids in Lu Zhou, they possessed all of these.

Besides, anyone with good connections knows that Lu Zhou has always been very generous to his own people.

Whether they were his followers or his maids, they had all been given the Emperor's Scripture by Lu Zhou, as well as one or more of the Nine Secrets and other divine arts, and immortal gold that could be used to refine the artifacts of the Dao.

And the resources available for daily cultivation go without saying.

The cultivators in this world have long since reached a consensus.

[Once you become a Daoist partner, follower, or maid in Lu Zhou's realm, you'll be on the fast track to cultivation.]

Countless cultivators aspire to become one of these three.

But it is clear that many people have recommended themselves to Lu Zhou, but very few have caught his eye.

Those who receive an olive branch personally extended by Lu Zhou are even fewer.

When Old Peng King heard Lu Zhou extend an olive branch to Little Peng King, his body trembled slightly with excitement.

After witnessing this scene, some of the other people nearby winked at the stunned Golden-Winged Roc King, urging him to quickly agree to the matter.

This sudden situation startled the Golden-Winged Roc King.

A moment later, he came to his senses and noticed the expressions of Qingyi and Old Pengwang.

His gaze shifted, meeting Lu Zhou's gaze once more, before he spoke.

"To be honest, this is a bit sudden!"

"Now that the stars are shining brightly, I have come to terms with reality and realized how naive I was when I used to boast about my ambition to become a demon emperor!"

"With you, Brother Ye, Brother Ji Zi, Brother Dao Yi, and other imperial princes and ancient princesses appearing in this world, I think many people, including myself, will become mere background figures on your path to becoming emperors!"

"The so-called ambition of becoming a demon emperor has long since become just a fantasy for me!"

"Even so, I never imagined that I would become a follower of someone who has the potential to become a Great Emperor. This is a bit too sudden. Could you give me some time to think about it?"

Hearing what the Golden-Winged Roc King said, Lu Zhou was neither angry nor resentful that the little roc was ungrateful.

If he were to offer such a recruitment offer, the Golden-Winged Roc King would immediately agree without hesitation or even a second thought.

Lu Zhou, on the other hand, would ponder whether the Golden-Winged Roc King was worth recruiting and cultivating.

Therefore, after the Golden-Winged Roc King finished speaking...

Lu Zhou then smiled.

"You're right, this is indeed a bit too sudden for you. Don't rush, take your time to think it over, and then tell me your choice!"

"it is good!"

Golden-Winged Roc King smiled and agreed.

Today, after careful consideration, he has clearly made a decision.

He said to Lu Zhou.

"Grandfather said that with you by my side, the future will definitely be bright!"

"I also want to go to the starry sky, to see just how vast this world is, and to see how many extraordinary talents there are in this vast world, and how much stronger they are than me!"

"Grandfather said that as long as I follow you, I will definitely be able to see all of this!"

"Hahaha good!"

Lu Zhou patted him on the shoulder and smiled at him.

"You'll see!"

"When I said you were very good, I wasn't just saying it casually. As far as I know, even in this whole world, among your peers, you can now rank among the best!"

"Given time, I believe the title of Golden-Winged Roc King will resound throughout the entire starry sky. Even some of your peers who are currently more outstanding than you will be left behind and fall at your feet."

"You have so much confidence in me?"

Lu Zhou shook his head.

"I have confidence not only in you, but also in myself!"

"What? You lack confidence in yourself?"

This isn't Lu Zhou making empty promises to the Golden-Winged Roc King.

Rather, he genuinely has high hopes for the Golden-Winged Roc King.

Of course, this stems even more from his confidence in his ability to cultivate people.

He was confident that, after his training, the Golden-Winged Roc King would be able to suppress even stronger beings like the Overlord Body.

Golden-Winged Roc King shook his head.

"I just encountered freaks like you and Brother Ye too early, not that I've completely lost confidence in myself!"

"I believe that people like you are extremely rare, even if you look across the entire starry sky!"

As he spoke, he then chuckled and added.

"I also believe that after following you, I will eventually surpass some of my peers who are stronger than me." "Haha, it's good that you have that confidence!"

As Lu Zhou was speaking, Qi Meng and Fan Xian finally arrived.

Then, he continued speaking to the Golden-Winged Roc King.

"Let's go, everyone's here. You'll come with us to meet two people!"

"Where to? Who to see?"

"Mount Undying, meet two... meet two aliens from the Eternal Starfield!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Xian and Qi Meng arrived in front of him.

Qi Meng blinked and asked Lu Zhou.

"Any news about the two siblings?"

Lu Zhou nodded and said.

"Correct!"

"Some time ago, news came that a silver streak of light had been frequently seen outside the Undying Mountain, and some human and ancient cultivators had suddenly disappeared near the Undying Mountain!"

"It must be those two siblings who repaired their spaceship and came out to cause trouble!"

Lu Zhou secretly recalled the original work.

After comparing the timelines, it was determined that it was now roughly the time mentioned in the original work when Zi Yan and her brother repaired the spaceship and ran out to abduct the people of Beidou.

"What kind of trouble are you causing?"

"Due to the influence of the Eternal Environment, Zi Yan and her brother do sometimes look down on beings outside the Eternal World, regarding them as barbarians. However, in other aspects, they are still good people."

"Some of their perceptions and ideas are not their fault!"

Qi Meng's words make some sense.

Not to mention that this is a world where whoever has the biggest fist can do whatever they want.

Speaking only of the Eternal Realm, almost all the cultivators there, especially the noble class, are like this.

Before they were taught how to be human, most of them were arrogant and regarded beings beyond eternity as inferior races and barbarians.

Their usual style of doing things is also a kind of authoritarian behavior that is self-aggrandizing and glorified.

Lu Zhou has a deep understanding of this.

It's not hard to imagine what kind of people would grow up in such an environment, after being instilled with these ideas and beliefs from a young age.

To put it simply, the Eternal People are ignorant of their own limitations; they are all frogs in a well.

On a larger scale, this can also be seen as a difference in cognition, ideology, and culture between two civilizations in different parts of the world.

Qi Meng has a wide circle of friends. Before she followed Lu Zhou, she didn't get along with Fan Xian, who was also one of the three great goddesses of eternity.

However, she had a very good relationship with another goddess of eternity, Zi Yan.

Lu Zhou was unaware of this matter before, and it was not mentioned in the original work.

Several years ago, Lu Zhou overheard Qi Meng talking about Zi Yan, who had been missing for many years, and only then did he learn that she and Zi Yan were actually close friends.

When she heard Lu Zhou say that Zi Yan and her brother were currently lost in Beidou.

She then asked Lu Zhou to help the two missing persons.

Later, when Lu Zhou was wandering around Yongheng, he was personally invited by Zi Yan's father, King Tianwu, to visit the Ziyun Clan.

At that time, Qi Meng was also by Lu Zhou's side, and went with Lu Zhou to the Ziyun Clan, which she often visited.

The rest is self-explanatory.

Without Lu Zhou saying much, King Tianwu learned from Qi Meng that his two children, who had been missing for many years, had actually been lost in the dangerous Beidou.

This left King Tianwu completely flustered, and he was extremely worried about his two precious children.

Because of the commotion Lu Zhou caused in Eternal Realm, a chain reaction triggered many Eternal Realm cultivators to awaken the terrifying memories left behind by Wu Shi and Wan Qing.

All these factors combined led many Eternal beings, including Tianwu King, to believe that Beidou, while not calling it a demon, was a dangerous and terrifying place.

This situation is quite different from some aspects of the original work.

At that time, the anxious King Tianwu wanted to immediately run to the Big Dipper to find his two beloved children.

But he didn't know the way, and had no idea where the Burial Emperor Star was in the starry sky.

Lu Zhou reassured him that, as far as he knew, Zi Yan and her brother were doing well and were not in any danger.

Indeed, in the original story, both siblings later returned safely to the Eternal Starfield.

Although Lu Zhou said that, the loving King Tianwu was still very worried about Zi Yan and her brother.

Later, he also asked Lu Zhou to lend a hand and look after Zi Yan and the others.

In response, the Ziyun Clan presented Lu Zhou with a generous gift.

Lu Zhou politely declined the generous gift offered by the Ziyun Clan, but also stated that he had long promised Qi Meng that he would take care of Zi Yan and her brother.

After returning to Beidou, Lu Zhou, after handling some urgent matters, arranged for some people to go to the vicinity of Undying Mountain to keep an eye out for any activity.

When the news of the Golden-Winged Roc King's successful breakthrough spread like wildfire throughout the land.

He also received a report from his subordinates about the little commotion that Zi Yan and the others had caused near the Undying Mountain.

Now that the matter concerning the Golden-Winged Roc King has been resolved, he informed Qi Meng and Fan Xian, preparing to take them to meet their fellow villagers and resolve the matter concerning the two siblings as well.

A moment later, Lu Zhou opened the domain gate.

The four of them headed towards the Undying Mountain.

Upon arriving at the Undying Mountain, by sheer coincidence, the two siblings from the Purple Cloud Clan came out to cause trouble again.

From a great distance, Lu Zhou and the others saw a streak of silver light streak across the sky and fly away into the distance.

"Is it them?"

Fan Xian pointed to the silver light that was about to disappear from their sight and said.

"It must be them. Let's go after them and see!"

With that, the four of them chased after them at a leisurely pace.

This pursuit led them all the way to Wangkong City.

Today happens to be another annual day for gazing at the sky.

The empty city was packed with people, including many cultivators.

The spaceship piloted by the two siblings from the Ziyun Clan flew over Wangkong City, a scene that caught the attention of many cultivators.

They thought it was some amazing treasure.

Of course, some cultivators felt that this scene seemed somewhat familiar.

This included Ye Fan, who had come to Wangkong City for a stroll with the big black dog.

The big black dog was thinking about Wushi again. Since they happened to be near Wangkong City, and since Wangkong Day was today, they decided to take a stroll around Wangkong City together.

"what?"

Looking at the spaceship hovering above Wangkong City, Ye Fan exclaimed in surprise.

I immediately thought of the same scene that happened in Wangkong City many years ago.

At this moment, the big black dog also remembered what happened back then.

Before they could think any further, with a 'whoosh,' Ye Fan, the big black dog, Long Ma, Li Tian, ​​and the others were enveloped by a beam of light emitted from the spaceship.

Then they disappeared into the empty city.

"Holy crap... do you have to play like this?"

From afar, this scene was witnessed by Lu Zhou and his group who had just arrived.

Even so, Lu Zhou's current temperament is already quite good.

But after seeing this scene, he still subconsciously exclaimed "National Essence!"
