The sun rises in the east, and auspicious purple clouds drift in from the east.
The morning glow filled half the sky, and a faint rainbow light enveloped the world.
Such beautiful scenery is truly delightful.
At the foot of Qingyun Peak, a young man and an old man walked slowly forward.
The boy pointed to the mountain peak and asked, "Uncle Hei, do we really want to go up there?"
Uncle Hei looked up and saw the vast mountain peaks hidden in the clouds and mist, giving off an indescribable sense of mystery.
He then said to the boy beside him, "The celestial phenomena are never wrong. Only that person can avenge the grudge against you."
"Uncle Hei, not to be rude, but the Central Plains have been destroyed by the Xuantian Sect. What can we do there now?"
Faced with the boy's questioning, Uncle Hei simply shook his head and said, "The celestial phenomena are the will of Heaven, and the will of Heaven cannot be defied."
"It's fate. If fate were useful, I, Lu Shan, wouldn't have ended up in this state," Lu Shan said dismissively, curling his lip.
However, due to Hei Bo's insistence, he eventually climbed Qingyun Peak.
When Lu Shan and the other man entered the mountain gate, Zhou Mu was still coaxing Ye Mujiu.
He somehow managed to make the little girl angry.
He was getting really anxious because he couldn't be coaxed.
As soon as Lu Shan entered the palace gate, he saw a young boy coaxing his little darling, a rather comical scene.
Zhou Mu then realized what was happening, quickly stood up, wiped the smile off his face, and said in a serious tone, "Who are you, and what brings you here?"
Lu Shan looked at Zhou Mu.
Upon sensing that the latter possessed Dao Palace cultivation, a hint of disdain involuntarily appeared in his eyes.
They are the same age, but he is already halfway to the Immortal Realm, just one step away. In fact, with his powerful physical strength, he could even fight against a true Immortal Realm expert.
Zhou Mu, on the other hand, was a far cry from Zhou Mu, meaning that Zhou Mu was not even worthy of Zhou Mu's attention.
Before he could speak, Uncle Hei stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and then revealed the purpose of his visit.
Paying respects at the mountain gate.
To put it simply, it means becoming an apprentice.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? You're going to acknowledge me as your master?" Zhou Mu asked in surprise.
At this moment, Ye Mujiu also sat up.
She cautiously tugged at Zhou Mu's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "Why do they want to become your disciple?"
Zhou Mu shook his head helplessly.
He didn't know either.
Even though he needed to recruit soldiers, his Zhou family had not yet made a name for themselves.
Who would know that there is such a force on Qingyun Peak?
The Central Plains, which had been entrenched here, has now been destroyed, and the forces of the Desolate Heaven Domain now consider Qingyun Peak to be a no-man's land.
Could it be that these two people have a protagonist's halo? Joining in when they are at their lowest point means they will surely have a part in helping others rise to power later.
However, Zhou Mu, who had this idea in his mind, did not dare to say it out loud, as it was somewhat unbelievable.
He was a time traveler, but these people weren't. Even if some technical terms that only appeared in later generations were explained now, these people would definitely not understand them.
Thinking of this, Zhou Mu looked at Lu Shan and said, "May I ask your name?"
"Lu Shan".
Under Hei Bo's warning gaze, Lu Shan obediently put away his arrogant expression and said.
He bowed and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.
"Is your cultivation at the half-step immortal realm?" Zhou Mu asked.
Lu Shan was somewhat surprised. He nodded and said, "That's right, I'm officially at the half-step Immortal Realm. However, I'm a little curious, how did you see through my cultivation level?"
Generally speaking, only the strong can sense the level of the weak, while the weak are unaware of the level of the strong.
Could it be that Zhou Mu has some special ability?
Otherwise, why would Blackie value it so much?
Zhou Mu smiled and said, "What is difficult for others is nothing to me."
A hint of seriousness finally appeared in Lu Shan's eyes.
Perhaps, the person in front of me is no ordinary person.
It is also possible that, as Uncle Hei said, the auspicious purple aura came from the east, which was the will of Heaven.
"Was this palace built by you alone?" Lu Shan asked, voicing his doubts.
He had come here a few days ago when he was chopping wood, but he had not seen such a magnificent palace then. Now, in just a few days, such a large palace has been erected on this mountain. How could it not be shocking?
Most importantly, only a sage could barely accomplish such a feat of moving mountains and overturning seas.
If the project needs to be shortened and completed in just a few days, then only the Sage King can intervene.
Could it be that this small, unknown Zhou mansion really has a sage king presiding over it?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu glanced at Lu Shan with some wariness.
Then, he pointed to the sky and said mysteriously, "It's a secret."
Ye Mujiu stood aside, chuckling to herself. She loved Zhou Mu's earnest attempts to deceive people.
At this moment, Zhou Mu looked at Uncle Hei, who was standing silently to the side.
After exchanging a few words, they handed the reins to Lu Shan.
On the surface, they appear to be a grandfather and grandson.
However, Zhou Mu understood that this old man and young woman were definitely not grandfather and grandson.
Based on his understanding of fantasy novels, the usual formula is that a young man carries a deep-seated blood feud, while the mysterious old man following him is either a powerful ring soul or a strong person with a mysterious past.
In other words, the seemingly ordinary old man on the side must be incredibly strong.
Thinking of this, Zhou Mu chuckled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be a Saint."
Uncle Hei looked up, his breathing momentarily unsteady.
