My Dreams Connect to Ancient Times-Chapter 207 - 47: Meeting Acquaintances, Unity of Heaven and Man

As Old Yan left, he made a point to add one more instruction:

"You all happen to be going to Taishan. If there are any new developments with Peach Blossom Spring, I'll contact you in advance."

Although Taishan was now subtly becoming a focal point for all the major powers, with even the Outer Demon Race asking about it, Old Yan wasn't too worried about Lu Xuan and the others traveling to Taishan with some students from Langya University.

Not to mention Xiaoxuan's terrifying senior, with Qing He and Qing Ping around—one an Eight-Tribulation Earth Immortal, the other a Ninth Grade True Immortal—there were very few places in the world they couldn't go.

After Old Yan left, Qing He and Qing Ping once again concealed themselves in a spatial fold. Xiaoyan, who hadn't slept all night, also went back to her room to catch up on sleep.

Lu Xuan didn't let the True Immortal's corpse go to waste. He took it to Sanqing Temple, tossed it onto the dirt ground, and, with the aid of the Daoist School's power and his 'Reasonable Words' ability, transformed it into a Corpse Puppet.

A Corpse Puppet at the level of a True Immortal could rival an ordinary Nine-Tribulation Earth Immortal, so it would be of some use.

The next few days returned to a state of peace.

Every day, aside from his Cultivation, Lu Xuan would go shopping with Xiaoyan, occasionally visit Wu Datong, and offer some guidance on Wu Xiaoxu's training.

It was worth mentioning that whenever he visited Wu Datong in the residential area for Federation officials, he would almost always run into several dignitaries. And without fail, these powerful figures would bow to him with trepidation.

By now, everyone among the top brass in Langya City recognized Lu Xuan.

Time quickly flew by, and soon it was September.

September 3rd. Monday. Clear skies.

"Xiaolu, Xiaolu, time to go to the university! Let's get ready to leave!" Xiaoyan's eyes curved into crescents as she grinned, revealing two small, sharp canine teeth. Outside, the sunlight spilled wantonly across her flawless face.

Lu Xuan, who was in the middle of comprehending the Unity of Heaven and Man, smiled and said:

"Alright, let's head to the university then... Are there many people from Langya University going to Taishan this time?"

"Doesn't seem like it. The ones going are all upperclassmen. I guess it's because of Peach Blossom Spring. Those upperclassmen come from well-off families, so they've probably all heard about it."

Lu Xuan nodded thoughtfully, though he didn't pay it much mind.

Xiaoyan then fluttered her big, watery eyes and asked:

"It seems Wu Xiaoxu isn't going... Why don't you invite him?"

"Forget it. That kid should just focus on his Cultivation for now. His innate talent is actually pretty good, he just started on the path of cultivation too late, and besides... he's lazy."

When Wu Xiaoxu was born, Wu Datong was still a True Immortal. Strictly speaking, Wu Xiaoxu should be considered the legitimate son of a True Immortal.

The two chatted idly as they squeezed into the bathroom to quickly wash up, then headed out toward Langya University.

......

「Langya University.」

Chen Shu yawned and complained:

"Sis, I'm not even a student at your Langya University. Why'd you have to drag me along...?"

Chen Ye shot him a look and said irritably:

"I told you to come, so you come. What's with all the pointless chatter?"

After a moment's thought, she offered an explanation:

"My advisor told me they seem to have discovered some kind of fragment from the Ancient Era within Taishan. This is a good chance to go take a look... What if there's a chance to get inside?"

"A fragment from the Ancient Era?" Chen Shu was baffled. Stunned, he asked, "What does that have to do with us? Or more accurately... what does it have to do with *me*?"

Chen Ye smacked him irritably and chided:

"A fragment from the Ancient Era forms its own Little World and preserves some of the Profound Mysterious Traits of the Ancient Times. For one thing, it's very likely that the fault in the Years didn't affect that Little World as much, so it might have preserved many Daoist Collections, ancient texts, and so on."

After a pause, her expression grew a little more solemn, and she added:

"But that's not even the most important part. The key is, my advisor told me there might be people inside who have survived since Ancient Times!"

"Huh?" Chen Shu's eyes went wide, and he wrinkled his nose. "In that case, Taishan must be the focus of every major power right now, right? And we're still rushing over there? What if... what if..."

"Enough nonsense!" Chen Ye lost her patience, grabbed her little brother by the collar, and hauled him toward the large Hovercar like he was a baby chick.

"Ah, Chen Ye is here?" The vice-principal in charge of this 'trip', Li Nanguo, gave a gentle smile. "There are still two or three students who haven't arrived. Let's wait a bit."

As he spoke, the few students already standing by the Hovercar cast curious glances over. Chen Ye scanned them, and her pupils contracted slightly.

'These are all from the most elite group of students at Langya University...'

A noble lady from the Langya Wang Family, a disciple from the ancient Wudang Mountain Daoist Lineage who was out gaining experience, a successor from the Zhuge Family... 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Let me make some introductions. This is our principal's star pupil, Chen Ye, and that's her younger brother, Chen Shu."

Li Nanguo said cheerfully, "As for these three..."

"I know them, I know them." In the presence of several famous young prodigies, Chen Ye's normally boisterous personality subsided a bit, and she nodded politely to the three of them.

Wang Zhiyao, Zhang Jifeng, and Zhuge Ke also nodded back at her in acknowledgment.

"Oh, someone else is here."

Everyone turned to look. The newcomer was a young man with long, flowing hair. He had a strong ancient air about him and a calm expression.

"Who's this now?" Chen Shu whispered to his sister.

Chen Ye's expression was solemn as she whispered back:

"The legitimate son of a Great Daoist from Dragon Tiger Mountain, Zhang Huatian."

Chen Shu's eyes widened. 'A Great Daoist from Dragon Tiger Mountain has to be at least an Earth Immortal... Another son of an Earth Immortal?'

He shrank back and, along with his sister, lowered his gaze and tried to look inconspicuous.
