Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 841 - 840: Can’t Jump to Save His Life
The old youngster Lu Yang was pondering a serious question.
As a transmigrator with modern knowledge, not only had he become a disciple of the top sect in the world, but he had also become the top-ranked junior brother, hosting an ancient immortal in his body, and was friends with the highest-status young master. His cultivation talent was among the top of his generation, with hardly a few to rival him throughout history.
So why was it never his turn to show off?
…
"I invite Daoist Lu Yang to come in for a chat," came Ye Mengyin's voice from behind the blue gauze.
No one was surprised. If Lu Yang's poem couldn't satisfy Ye Mengyin, then it wasn't their problem, but rather that the Lotus Pavilion deliberately didn't want to entertain them.
Fairy Eternity, amid the envious and admiring gazes of those present, lifted the blue gauze and saw Ye Mengyin, who hadn't shown her face for several days.
Fairy Eternity had some impression of Ye Mengyin. After all, she had organized the 120,000th anniversary celebration of the Seek Dao Sect.
In the Imperial City, rumors spread of Ye Mengyin's irresistible charm and beauty that could capture hearts at first sight. Ye Mengyin indeed lived up to her reputation, being so stunning that her natural coquettishness and every little movement had their own grace, even surpassing Tao Yaoye and Lan Ting in seductive power.
But Fairy Eternity felt none of this allure—Ye Mengyin wasn't even as beautiful as herself.
Ye Mengyin, meeting Fairy Eternity's clear gaze, was rather shocked. Her allure affected even her fellow senior and junior sisters, and Meng Jingzhou's ability to defeat her last time relied on his willpower.
This was the first time someone looked at her with such clarity as Lu Yang.
"Daoist Lu Yang, it's been a while. Would you care to step into to side room for a conversation?" Ye Mengyin asked, her cheeks flushed. It was her first time inviting a male cultivator into her boudoir.
They were separated from the others by only a layer of blue gauze. Their voices and movements were clearly observed by everyone present, leaving no room for privacy.
"Sure," Fairy Eternity agreed without overthinking, readily accepting the invitation.
In the boudoir, with a spot of cinnabar between her brows and wearing a radiant, flowing long dress embroidered with intricate patterns of apsaras and auspicious clouds in vibrant colors, and her skirt fluttering with her dance moves while her hair swayed in the breeze, Ye Mengyin seemed even more lively.
Watching this dance was greatly beneficial for one's mind state in cultivation.
"Your dancing is not good," Fairy Eternity couldn't help but criticize. This level of dancing was too poor, far from Zhu Tian's standard.
"Dancing should be an expression of the heart, and look at you, your moves are all stiff and rigid, lacking spiritual energy."
"Come, follow me."
Fairy Eternity herself demonstrated, her movements light and ethereal, like a stunning fairy stepping out of an ancient painting, every frown and smile exuding an indescribable charm, a dance that Ye Mengyin, who only relied on her coquettishness, couldn't begin to compare with.
Ye Mengyin was stunned. Elder Brother Lu Yang could dance?
She had entered the path through dance and possessed the highest dancing talent within the Seduction Sect, otherwise she wouldn't have qualified to represent her sect in the Seek Dao competition.
Ye Mengyin had thought that among her peers, no one could surpass her in dancing.
Turns out, among the female cultivators, indeed there wasn't anyone, but among the male cultivators, there was one.
"Could Daoist Buyu actually be adept at dancing?" Ye Mengyin recalled the rumors about Daoist Buyu and hadn't heard anything about dancing skills.
Although Fairy Eternity danced gracefully and beautifully, she was currently using Lu Yang's body, which looked quite awkward from the outside.
Luckily, Ye Mengyin truly loved dance and didn't mind the odd dissonance of Lu Yang's appearance, earnestly learning from Fairy Eternity.
"Ah, that's better. You need to comprehend the meaning behind the dance, not just copy the moves."
Fairy Eternity was actually even more skilled at dancing than Zhu Tian. Both Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi had learned from her, but she was self-conscious about her status. During gatherings of immortals in ancient times, she would let Zhu Tian perform, content to just watch from the side.
Although Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi had learned the dance, when it came to innate talent for dance, they still couldn't match Zhu Tian.
In the Spiritual Space, Fairy Eternity, with jewels and gold adorning her hair and her hairdo elegantly coiffed, with vermillion eyeshadow at the corners of her eyes and donned in a robe of bright yellow, danced gracefully in the great hall, every inch of her skin from her jet-black hair tips to her rounded, jade-like toes brimming with vibrant energy.

Fairy Eternity had not danced for a long time, and she needed to dance in sync in the Spiritual Space and reality to regain the sensation.
Lu Yang watched Fairy Eternity's dance, absorbed in thought about which historical minister had the privilege of seeing the monarch dance.
After the dance, Ye Mengyin was out of breath and panting, yet her smile was bright and joyous.
She could feel her significant progress in the art of dance.
"Many thanks to Elder Brother Lu Yang for the instruction!" She bowed earnestly, not daring any negligence.
With this guidance, she saved ten years of arduous cultivation - addressing him as "Honored Master" would not be too much.
However, she was still puzzled about the last phrase Lu Yang spoke, "But the one was at the place where the lights were waning." What did it really mean? Was it truly written for her? If it was meant for her, it didn't seem quite right given what followed after entering the boudoir.
Could it be that Elder Brother Lu Yang was disappointed with her because of her lack of dance talent?
Ye Mengyin grew more convinced of this possibility the more she thought about it.
...
The words created by Fairy Eternity at the Lotus Pavilion quickly spread throughout the Imperial City, shocking even the great Confucian Cultivators of the Hanlin Academy.
A good poem could not only make one famous for generations, but more importantly, it could become a means of cultivation for Confucian Cultivators.
"This poem is even better than the ones made by Old Buyu by quite a margin. It seems Lu Yang's learning doesn't just depend on Old Buyu; his innate talent for Confucian cultivation is also incredibly astounding!"
"Magic skills, Sword Cultivators, Confucian Cultivators... His talent surpasses even that of Old Buyu. The outside world spreads word that he has the potential to become an immortal, and it seems the rumors are true."
"Pay attention to this line in the second part of the poem 'I searched for him in the crowd, time and again. Suddenly turning around, the one was there, at the place where the lights were waning.' People outside say it was written for a young girl from the Seduction Sect, but I have a different opinion."
"Why not share your thoughts, Elder Brother Zeng?"
"You must have heard numerous rumors about Lu Yang. Have you ever heard any involving love affairs? Not even once, right? This indicates that Lu Yang might be indifferent to such matters, and this poem isn't as superficial as the world believes."
"Under this major premise, if we look at the phrase, 'The one was at the place where the lights were waning,' 'the one' might very well refer to himself!"
"The meaning of this line, then, is that Lu Yang underwent untold hardships in his cultivation, seeking something he could never find, and finally had an epiphany, realizing that what he sought was truly his own heart!"
"I've seen too many cultivators who have lost their way and their hearts after embarking on the path of cultivation. Even though they have achieved some progress, they seem lost and confused, resulting in a lack of power for further advancement."
"Knowing others is wisdom but knowing oneself is enlightenment. By incorporating his cultivation insights into this poem, Lu Yang aims to awaken many cultivators, prompting them to introspect and to overcome the barriers within their hearts."
"Wow, it does seem to be the case."
...
The residence of the Second Prince.
The Second Prince, staring intently at the intelligence in his hand, had a gleam in his eye.
"Securing the throne will require Lu Yang's assistance. It's time to make contact with him."
