Chapter 58 The aftermath of the game (Part 1)

On the way back to the Heavenly Fire Cave, everyone was still immersed in joy, their faces filled with smiles and happiness. Along the way, Zi Yang True Person pulled his good friend Danqing Swordmaster, looking extremely excited. Lu Yun shook his head and sighed, feeling a lot of emotions.

At this moment, he finally understood why his eccentric master, in the past, preferred to live alone in a cave rather than be with too many people. Because the more people there were, the more things there would be, and it would be difficult to maintain a calm heart in cultivation. It's no wonder that in the mortal world, there are not many people who can become immortals. Instead, there are many extraordinary cultivators hidden in the mountains and wilderness.

Aoxue glanced at him and whispered, "Is it a bit uncomfortable? Standing at the peak of the Six Academies for the first time, do you feel a lot of emotions? Maybe you need an adjustment period, and you'll get used to it in the future."

Lu Yun looked at Aoxue with a strange look and said, "Once you get used to it, it might be too late to give up. The path to immortality is not an easy one. There are countless cultivators, but how many can succeed? Why do those who truly have profound cultivation often choose to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests? Perhaps when many people gain honor and status, besides having profound cultivation, they have already lost the opportunity to become immortal. Immortality has no basis, and cultivation has no fixed timeline. In the myriad phenomena of the mortal world, the hearts of people are not uniform."

Hearing this, Aoxue and Cangyue, looking at each other, both showed a hint of surprise. Lu Yun at this moment seemed to have undergone some changes, different from before. Looking at Lu Yun, Aoxue asked in confusion, "Why do you seem indifferent even after winning? Do you have too many secrets in your heart, or do you really intend to dominate the heavens and the earth?"

"Perhaps your path of cultivation, your heart for cultivation, is very different from ours. Your starting point is something ordinary people can't understand, with shocking purposes. However, regardless, now that you are standing at the peak of the Six Academies, you must face all of this, because this is fate," said Cangyue quietly.

Looking at the extraordinary beauty of the two women, Lu Yun thought in his heart that his path of cultivation and his cultivation heart might indeed be different from others. From the beginning, he never had the desire to become immortal. His starting point was to surpass the Nine Heavens, not subject to the manipulation of fate, and to reach a state of doing as he pleased. Becoming immortal was not what he wanted. He did not acknowledge heaven and earth, did not believe in the curses of the heavens. He wanted everything to change its course because of his existence. Glancing at the two women, he didn't say anything, just revealing a slightly inexplicable smile.

Back at the Heavenly Fire Cave, Lu Yun looked at the excited Yunfeng and said casually, "Alright, it's over. Being too excited like this is not beneficial for your future cultivation. Understand? Controlling your emotions is extremely important for cultivators."

Ignoring Lu Yun's advice, Yunfeng laughed happily, "How can I not be happy about something so exciting? You won against Swordless Chen, not only relieving the pressure on our Yiyuan but also making our Yiyuan famous throughout the world, shaking the entire cultivation realm. The Six Academies Tournament in ten years will be held in our Yiyuan. By then, won't disciples from other academies have to sheath their swords and walk here as a sign of respect? If that happens, our Yiyuan will be majestic, and no one will dare to look down on us. Haha, just thinking about it makes people happy."

Around them, everyone looked at Yunfeng, and that excitement that was repeatedly calmed and then rose again, stirring up. The tremendous shock and unexpectedness made everyone in Yiyuan feel like they were in a dream. Everything seemed so unreal, so difficult to believe.

After taking a few deep breaths, Xuan Yu True Person spoke, "Alright, everyone, please take a seat. This victory took us all by surprise, so it's natural for everyone to be happy. The competition is over now. While we're happy, let's not forget that there are still many things we need to deal with. Now, let's calm down and discuss what we should do next. Please share your opinions, especially from Senior Cangyue and Daoist Xu. After all, this is the first time our Yiyuan has become the leader of the Six Academies, and many things have never been experienced before. If we make a fool of ourselves, it wouldn't be good." Laughter gradually subsided in the cave, and everyone quieted down, pondering the meaning behind Xuan Yu True Person's words.

Master Jingyue was the calmest person among everyone except Lu Yun. At this moment, she spoke, "This victory came too suddenly, and it caught us completely off guard. So, until now, besides joy, our minds have no room for anything else. However, no matter what, the victory has passed. Next, the first thing we need to do is to hold the handover ceremony with Tianjian Academy. We will announce to the world of cultivation, along with the prizes, that from this moment on, Yiyuan is the leader of the Six Academies."

On the side, Yunfeng loudly agreed, "Senior Sister is right. We need to inform the world right away, let all Yiyuan disciples enjoy themselves, and also let the entire cultivation world know the fame of our Yiyuan."

"In addition to this, we also need to establish good relations with the other four academies. Only with everyone cooperating seamlessly can we sit securely in the position of the first in the Six Academies. What does Senior Brother think?" Zi Yang True Person, looking excited, asked.

Nodding gently, Xuan Yu True Person said, "You all make good points. We indeed need to handle these things immediately. As for the handover ceremony, following past conventions, it should take place on the second day after the end of the competition, along with the presentation of prizes to the winners. We will handle this matter tomorrow. Now, it's best to invite the heads of the other four academies here to exchange experiences and build relationships. What do you think?" After finishing, he looked at everyone and finally landed on Lu Yun.
