Chapter 1023 Customs
Lu Yang originally wanted to take Yun Mengmeng to visit Tao Yaoye. Before they went up the mountain, he saw the disciples of Wuchen Peak gathered at the foot of the mountain. It was very lively and Tao Yaoye was among them.
"Junior Sister Tao, what are you doing at the foot of the mountain?" Lu Yang asked in confusion.
"Brother Lu, Happy New Year, and Sister Yun, Happy New Year too. It's almost Chinese New Year, and we are doing the spring cleaning."
"You're all standing at the foot of the mountain during the spring cleaning?"
"Of course it's because Master is here." Tao Yaoye explained with a smile.
Suddenly, a strong breath burst out from the top of the mountain. This breath continued to radiate outward, expanding in range and bringing up countless dust.
"Look, Master is using her Immortal Body to do the spring cleaning. On weekdays, Master suppresses her Immortal Body, but now she is doing the spring cleaning during the New Year. Once her Immortal Body is opened, all the dust will be swept away."
“The mountain is very clean now.”
This was the first time Lu Yang saw the Immortal Body being used in this way. It was too luxurious.
"Is that convenient?"
“It’s really convenient.”
"I heard from my senior sisters that every New Year's Day, our Wuchen Peak is the cleanest."
Lu Yang thought to himself that that was true, no other mountain peaks could be cleaned as thoroughly as the Sixth Elder.
"Come to think of it, it seems that no one is cleaning our Tianmen Peak." Lu Yang suddenly remembered that one should be more particular during the New Year.
"Someone is working." The Immortal Fairy said, telling Lu Yang not to worry and just have fun. "When we left Tianmen Peak, the Fourth Master took our sect leader and the kebab chef to clean up. I don't know if it was his own initiative or Yun girl's order."
The leader of the Immortal Sect, as well as Master Liu, Master Gao and others, are all minions refined by the Senior Sister and they absolutely obey her orders.
"That's good." Lu Yang said with a smile. Now that he had put the matter aside, he could spend the New Year peacefully.
Crackling, crackling, crackling…
How can the Chinese New Year be complete without the sound of firecrackers? As the New Year’s Eve approaches, the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year in the Dao Sect becomes more and more intense.
There was a senior sister who was spinning around with two strings of firecrackers in her hand, relying on the fact that the firecrackers would not explode on her, and she did not let go even after the two strings of firecrackers were all set off.
Lu Yang hadn't set off firecrackers for a long time, and seeing this, he was itching to give it a try.
Whoosh——
A shell flew over Lu Yang's head and exploded not far away.
Then there were "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh", countless shells flew past, some from the left, some from the right, and a series of explosions were heard.
Lu Yang then realized that since some time ago, there were many brothers and junior fellow students standing on both sides. They took out cannons from their storage rings and fired at each other. The explosion was deafening.
The power of these shells is mediocre and they can only kill cultivators in the Qi training stage. They can be fired at will in the Wending Sect and they can't even damage clothes.
Some senior brothers thought the cannon firing speed was too slow, so they swung their arms and threw the shells at the other side. The other side was not willing to be outdone and fought back in the same way.
There was also a senior sister sitting on a stool, with countless shells piled under the stool. A spark fell, ignited the pile of shells, and blew her directly into the sky.
Crackling.
The stools exploded in the sky like gorgeous fireworks.
"...Why is this different from the way I remember setting off fireworks?" Lu Yang's mouth twitched. This was not just setting off fireworks. The Dao Sect was almost becoming an arsenal.
"I think it's okay." Yun Mengmeng smiled, the fire reflected in her eyes, "It's much less powerful than my self-explosion."
“It would only be a big problem if the power is as strong as your self-detonation, right?” Lu Yang complained in a low voice.
"No." The Immortal Fairy said, "When we celebrated the New Year, I often blew myself up a few times to liven up the atmosphere. Later, it became a routine."
"People in the world admire me very much. They want to imitate my actions and also want to make some noise during the New Year. But they can't make a noise as big as my self-explosion, so they have to settle for the next best thing and change it to setting off firecrackers."
"So self-detonation during the Chinese New Year is the most orthodox way to do it?!"
"Of course. Don't you see my influence?" The immortal fairy put her hands on her hips, looking very proud.
"I don't think the New Year's celebration is very lively. How about I just blow myself up once to let you see some traditions?"
“No, no.” Lu Yang was shocked. If the fairy self-destructed once, the entire Wendao Sect would fly into the sky.
Boom——
There were bursts of muffled sounds coming from the sky, including the roar of a dragon and the roar of a lion.

Lu Yang looked up and discovered that it was his senior brothers and sisters who used the art of transformation to turn themselves into dragons and lions, and were fighting in the air. The fight was quite intense, and with fireworks as the background, the scene was grand and beautiful, more than enough to be used in the final battle between the protagonist and the villain at the end of the dream bubble.
“Is this how dragon and lion dances are performed during Chinese New Year?”
Lu Yang increasingly felt that this was completely different from the Chinese New Year he had imagined.
“Hey, is that a lion too?”
Lu Yang noticed that among a group of dragons and lions, there was a lion that looked different from the others. It was eight or nine feet long, had a terrifying appearance, round eyes, and red hair that looked like a burning cloud. It had a single horn on its head and was extremely lively in the dragon and lion dances.
To be more precise, he was having fun with his tongue sticking out and his head shaking.
The lion-like monster noticed Lu Yang's gaze and suddenly flew down, looking at Lu Yang and speaking in human language.
"Can you see me?"
"Who are you?!" Lu Yang was shocked. Shouldn't he see it?
"Well, isn't this the Nian beast?" The Immortal Fairy recognized the origin of this monster at a glance.
"Nian Beast? The monster that was cultivated by the Fairy of Time using the Fruit of Time?" Lu Yang remembered that the Immortal Fairy had briefly introduced the Nian Beast before, and the eldest sister also said that she wanted to catch a Nian Beast but failed.
"Yes, it is the monster created by the Fairy of Time. It is quite magical."
"This is a monster that lives in time. It only appears on New Year's Eve every year, and then jumps back in time to the New Year's Eve of the next year. This repeats over and over again, so there is the term 'New Year'."
"They like red and like excitement. Every year when people celebrate the New Year, they hide in the celebrations to play. This time, it was probably because our sect's New Year celebrations made more noise than the people, so one of them was attracted here."
"Since their birth is related to the Dao Fruit, only immortals can see them."
"So you are the Nian beast?" Lu Yang was no longer nervous after he figured out the origin of the monster in front of him.
"You are an immortal, no, you are only in the God Transformation stage!" The Nian beast was shocked. Only immortals could see them. This mortal was only in the God Transformation stage, how could he see it and know of the existence of the Nian beast.
What is the second in command doing? Yun Mengmeng seemed to have noticed something and turned to look at Lu Yang. She saw that Lu Yang seemed to be talking to an invisible thing, and his acting was very convincing.
"Is the Second in Command so childish? I stopped doing this kind of thing when I was sixteen."
