“Heroic Legend of Mu Yu” Revised Edition

“Mu Yu, we need to familiarise ourselves with Formation Sect, so we’ll leave you two it, okay?” Mu Tianhe and Mu Zhexing left Mu Yu and Tian Ran behind in the manor.

“Grandpa, Father, wait up. I’ll show you around. I know Formation Sect best. I can go anywhere I want. Tian Ran, hang out with Xin. You can prepare whatever it was you wanted to prepare, as well.” Mu Yu took off running.

“You can’t run forever,” grumbled Tian Ran.

“Grandpa, Father, emergency, emergency! Teach me how to explain the situation to Tian Ran,” pleaded Mu Yu.

Mu Zhexing responded, “I won’t get in the way of your decision. You need to decide. That’s also what your mother told me.”

Having thought it through, Mu Tianhe was on cloud nine. “Tell them you like them. What man in his right mind wouldn’t marry both of them? Imagine how glorious Mu Clan would be? I’d be more than happy to have more grandkids.”

“Tian Ran won’t be angry, probably,” Mu Yu opined.

Xiaoshuai bobbed his head. “If Tian Ran uses kabedon again, give her a big hug and kiss. It worked once, and it’ll work again. Chill.”

“By the way, Mu Yu, Mu Hao told me the man who raised you is here at Formation Sect. I owe him a thank you for raising you. I wanted to wait for you to return to personally see him as I heard his identity is special,” conveyed Mu Tianhe.

“Don’t worry about thanking and apologising, Grandpa. I happen to need to drop by Formation Palace, so you can come along if you want to meet him.”

Zhuge Xiaosheng had yet to return by the time they arrived at Formation Palace, but Mu Hao, who had reached Primordial Infant Realm, and Village Chief Bu were around. Mu Hao tended to hang around Village Chief Bu to ask about Mu Yu’s past – which also served as secondary motivation for him.

Upon entering Formation Palace, they heard Village Chief Bu energetically telling “Mu Yu Slays the Wyrm”, drawing even Mu Tianhe and Mu Zhexing in with his vivid descriptions, rises and falls in his tones and added special sound effects.

“Gr-”

“Let him finish. I also want to hear the story,” interjected Mu Tianhe.

“Now I will tell you the story of Mu Yu passing six trials to slay seven generals. That t-”

“That’s enough, Grandpa Village Chief. Can we leave the fairy tales for another day?” Mu Yu cut in.

“Mu Yu?” Village Chief Bu got out of his chair. “Nice timing. I was just sharing your epics with your brother.”

“Heroes do not share their own stories, Village Chief. You know how I’ve always been a humble, low-key individual. Let’s not share them, okay?”

Mu Hao asked, “Did you really take on the fiend race solo, stir the heavens with your celestial sword, part clouds as you slew the Ascension Realm wyrm?”

“Erm… Probably?” Mu Yu responded, thinking, That’s actually more grounded in reality and factual than the white chicken monster story.

“What do you mean ‘probably’? It’s 100% true!” Xiaoshuai proclaimed. “Mu Yu and I, both wielding a sword each, took on four elders of the fiend race without batting an eye. We whooped two dragon leaders back to back. I was the one who guided Mu Yu, providing the blueprint to liberate the fiend race. You want to hear the details? Come on over.”

While Xiaoshuai put on an exhibition of everything he had pick up from Village Chief Bu, Mu Yu expressed, “Village Chief, this is my family.”

Mu Tianhe, engrossed in Xiaoshuai’s story telling, snapped out. “Thank you for raising Mu Yu when we made poor decisions. Thank you again.”

“Don’t worry about it. We’re all happy to see Mu Yu do well, aren’t we? Besides, thanks to you, I got the chance to meet him.”

“Ahaha.” Mu Tianhe did not think Village Chief Bu was so laid back.

Realising he unintentionally attacked Mu Tianhe for his blunder, Village Chief Bu corrected, “I meant, Mu Yu yearned for his family when he was young, so everyone is happy to be reunited. We all need Mu Yu’s protection now; he has the highest authority now.”

“Indeed, indeed,” replied Mu Tianhe.

“We had no idea what state Mu Yu was in. Accordingly, we cannot deny our mistakes,” Mu Zhexing conveyed.

“Watching him grow up, he used to hide in my arms when thunder clapped. Nowadays, I need him to protect me! If you want to know more about his past, you can ask me anytime.”

“Grandpa Village Chief, I need to discuss business with you later.” Truth to be told, Mu Yu did not want Village Chief Bu telling more “larger-than-life” stories.

“We will take our leave so that you two can talk, then. I suppose we will go learn from Mu Hao. It seems he has heard a lot about Mu Yu.”

After Mu Tianhe and Mu Zhexing left, Mu Yu inquired, “Grandpa Village Chief, did you change the story?”

“Of course I did. I’m now part-cultivator, so I have to improve my works. I’ve revised ‘Heroic Legend of Mu Yu’ into version ‘Heroic Legend of Mu Yu 2.0’. I owe Greater Heaven Caster Lu for providing me with details of how you helped Formation Sect take down Talisman Sect, your rise to patriarch status, trapped Celestial Star Sect, rescued him, defeat Sikong Qiwen, killed Shadow Assassin Qingming and slew several dragons in the fiend race’s lands… Tell me about how you wiped out three of the eight great sects so that I can add them to the epic,” bragged Village Chief Bu, waving around a new book that used a level seven white-face tiger fiend beast’s skin for the cover.

The preface read, “Thank you Greater Heaven Caster Lu for providing information to contribute to spreading Mu Yu’s heroic deeds.”

The revised edition even had artwork to go with it, each drawn using formations so that the reader would be taken into an illusion once they touched it. Mu Yu saw the scene Village Chief Bu shared with Mu Hao moments – the epic slaughter of the wyrm that resembled a scene of planetary devastation.

“What do you think? Greater Heaven Caster Lu and I have been assiduously working on the revised edition. It’s only half complete, sadly. This is the one and only limited edition. You can’t expect Greater Heaven Caster Lu to personally cast the formations millions of times, after all, right?”

“My goodness gracious, what has Greater Heaven Caster Lu done?!”
