After eating breakfast, Yue Xuexia had given her master an acupuncture to stabilize her master’s meridians. Though his body had been restored to its healthy state, it cannot be considered as returning to the peak state of Wu Yao’s body. He had suffered for years and had lost a lot during those times. To help her master with his cultivation, Yue Xuexia had to widen her master’s meridians and unclogged all impurities in his acupoints to let his qi flow smoother in his body aiding him in his cultivation.
Wu Yao’s realm had regressed to Peak Mahayama Realm, he used to be at Late God king realm almost at his Peak stage and just one minor realm away from the Emperor realm. Even if he doesn’t enter the realm of the emperor right away, becoming a quasi-emperor or a false emperor would have been possible if he didn’t get poisoned.
Seeing that his elder brother is still in meditation, Wu Zhou decided to go to work.
He said, "Xue’er, I’m going to start renovation of the academy. I will leave your master in your care."
"I had healed most of Master’s hidden illness and his lost vitality can be replenished within a month. As long as he cultivates and takes his time, he will return to his peak and reach a greater realm. In the next three days, I will send the meals for everyone. Then move to the academy on the fourth day. Martial Uncle, please give me a mountain peak on my own," said Yue Xuexia.
Wu Zhou said, "Then Martial Uncle will arrange things for your peak. Is there any request, Xue’er?"
"Martial Uncle Zhou, please let me handle the peak for Xue’er," the Immortal Sun Emperor said. "The renovation for the whole academy will need to be finished in three days and more than half was destroyed. You will be busy with them. The building for Xue’er’s abode, I will do it!"
Yue Xuexia said, "Hah~ do as you wish."
Seeing the Moon Goddess agreeing to the Immortal Sun Emperor’s request, Wu Zhou smiled. He knew that letting this kid handle it would be better than him doing it. Compared to the resources he can move, the resources an Emperor realm cultivator like Shen Jueyang can move would be better. For his Martial Niece, giving her the best is what he believes is right.
The Moon Goddess added, "Martial Uncle, did the academy have a herb garden?"
"There is one but it was already burned down. How about accompanying you and letting you choose a mountain peak to own?" Wu Zhou said.
Yue Xuexia asked, "Will it hold back Martial Uncle’s work? The renovation... I don’t want it to be held back because of me. Three days later, the students will be coming back."
Wu Zhou was about to say that it was okay until his elder brother who was supposed to be cultivated appeared behind him and pinched his ears.\
Ow~
"Big brother!? You are awake?" Wu Zhou said.
Wu Yao let go of his ears and said, "Go and do your work. You must finish the renovation within three days. The students cannot wait. I will accompany my disciple in choosing her abode. Go to work, Xiao Zhou."
He kicked his younger brother out of the house and Wu Zhou can only feel unfair at this moment.
He shouted and complained, "Brother, I want to spend time with my Martial Niece too!"
"Go get your own disciple, you stupid brat!" Wu Yao said as he finally threw his brother out the mountain.
Yue Xuexia looked at this scene with a calm expression while Shen Jueyang had a smile and was even waving his hand towards Wu Zhou who was flying down the mountain.
"Xue’er, let’s go. The master will go with you through mountain peaks. You can pick any within the territory," said Wu Yao with a smile.
The Moon Goddess looked at her master, her eyes softened and nodded at her master. However, before Yue Xuexia could leave with her master, Shen Jueyang held her hand. The Moon Goddess looked at him but didn’t shake off his hand. While Wu Yao’s face turned as red as a ripe tomato after seeing the young man’s action, he immediately reacted like a protective father glaring at this pig who wanted to steal his baby cabbage.
"Brat, you better let go now before this old man hit you!" Wu Yao said.
Shen Jueyang said, "What are you saying, old man?~"
However, the Immortal Sun Emperor teased the old man even more and waved the entangled hands between her and his before the old man’s eyes. This angered the old master more while the Moon Goddess was annoyed by the noise and finally spoke up that froze the two men frozen.
"If you are going to fight, I will walk around on my own," Yue Xuexia said.
This instantly stopped the two men from fighting and looked at the Moon Goddess like children who were scolded and now turned obedient.
"Okay we won’t be fighting anymore," Wu Yao said.
Shen Jueyang said, "Let’s go."
In the end, the three of them started checking each mountain peak available in the territory. It was already almost lunch time when Yue Xuexia found a mountain peak that she likes. It’s a mountain peak with a primordial purple bamboo garden. Even Wu Yao didn’t expect such a beautiful peak to exist within the academy.
"Old man, primordial purple bamboo. Something like this is born from the existence of the primordial purple qi era. It’s extremely rare and a treasure that attracts heaven and earth qi." Shen Jueyang said, "How did your academy get such treasure. If people from the Core Haven heard about this, your academy might be ransacked by powerful thieves."
The Moon Goddess said, "Master, is this mountain peak ownerless?"
"This is... A forbidden peak within the academy. The founder said this place... is haunted. Xue’er, don’t tell me you wanted this place?" Wu Yao asked worriedly.
Even though he didn’t dare to stay in this place, after all, his former master said that these bamboos were planted to seal something within the mountain peak. Anyone who tried to pick bamboo or tried to choose this place to live would strangely die one day.
The Goddess of the Moon noticed the worry and fear in her master’s eyes even the Immortal Sun Emperor felt that something was wrong with this place.
Yue Xuexia asked, "Jueyang, is there something strange in this place?"
"Let me check it properly," Shen Jueyang said then looked at Wu Yao then asked, "Master, can I make a mess in the peak a bit?"
"As long as you don’t burn down Xue’er’s bamboo garden then it’s alright?" Wu Yao said.
The Immortal Sun Emperor with a serious expression sat on the ground and placed a hand on the ground. He directly used his emperor realm cultivation to probe under the mountain peak they are standing on. A powerful aura spread to the ground, drilling to the underground as he checked the whole mountain they were on.
All of the sudden, as if something inside the mountain was sleeping and was awakened by the aura. The whole mountain had suddenly shaken, enough to make the three of them wobble while standing. The Moon Goddess supported the old man and was annoyed by shaking that a frown appeared on her beautiful face. Annoyed by the earthquake, Yue Xuexia stomped at the ground infused with sword intent. However, it wasn’t an attack that kills instead, it was to hit the thing within the mountain.
Whimpers~
The shaking of the whole mountain suddenly stopped after this scream in pain. Shen Jueyang and Wu Yao also heard about it.
Shocked, Wu Yao said, "Something alive is hiding inside?"
"I heard the sound of chains. It’s imprisoned," said the Immortal Sun Emperor.
The Moon Goddess added, "This whole mountain is its cage and the bamboo garden is the key to the formation that controls the whole mountain. Master, should I open the formation?"
"Is it dangerous? If it is, let’s just forget about it," said Wu Yao.
The Immortal Sun Emperor said, "There will be no danger. That little thing inside is just in the Early Emperor realm and is badly wounded."
Wu Yao was shocked and exclaimed, "Early Emperor Realm? There is something like that in the academy! Is it a beast?"
"This aura... it’s not an ordinary beast," Shen Jueyang said.
The Moon Goddess said, "I’m unlocking the formation now. Master, Jueyang fly. The mountain would split once the formation is opened."
The two men nod their heads and float above the mountain peak they are currently on. Yue Xuexia walks towards the bamboo garden with a double star stone arrangement. The Moon Goddess had moved half of the stones and a crack suddenly appeared at the middle of the mountain peak instantly spreading into a straight line until the whole mountain was split exposing the chains and the being imprisoned at the center of the hollowed mountain.
In the middle of the mountain surrounded with chains from all angles, a dirty looking ferocious dog with a wide mouth and large fangs opened its eyes a bit watery, rubbing its head as if something had bullied it. The bump on its head looked fresh and is most likely the one given to him by Yue Xuexia.
Wu Yao and Shen Jueyang recognized the beast chained at the center and exclaimed together in surprise.
"Taotie!?"
