Honghuang: Stop Pretending to Be a Sword Saint; You're a Master Strategist

Lu Yuan transmigrates to the primordial world and cultivates swordsmanship under the Jie Sect, styling himself an immortal of the sword.

At the start of the Investiture of the Gods, he goads Sect Master Tongtian into opposing the Chan Sect and setting up the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to trade blows with the Four Great Sages, bringing the Age Without Sages forward.

He then takes charge of the Jie Sect, anticipating his enemies' moves and scheming against them until they are utterly miserable.

Lu Ya beats his chest in regret. "I should never have used the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book to kill Zhao Gongming! I ended up losing both my wife and my soldiers!"

Xuandu wears a pained expression. "Fellow Daoist Lu Yuan, when will you return the Taiji Diagram?"

Ran Deng cries out, "You want me to be the Fire God on the Investiture List? I'd rather die... You're really going to hit me!"

Zhao Gongming, the Three Xiao sisters, and the others whisper, "Senior Brother, Sect Master, stop pretending to be a Sword Sage. You're really a Master Sage of Schemes!"

Lu Yuan smiles faintly and declares, "From this day onward, the Jie in my Jie Sect will no longer mean seizing a glimmer of hope. It will mean plundering!"
