Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 472: Internal strife of the Immortal Sect

The Emperor of Xia reminisced for a moment. Apart from always betting on Lu Yang to lose, he hadn't done anything else to provoke him.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Considering that the person inside the treasure box couldn't sense the outside world, the answer was obvious—Lu Yang simply wanted to beat him up.

The Emperor of Xia was resolute in not fighting Lu Yang one-on-one.

Are you kidding? Even Master Jie Sha lost to him. He wasn't known for his martial prowess; if he went up, he'd definitely be beaten worse than Luo Hongxia.

Seeing how ruthless Lu Yang could be, with Luo Hongxia chewing on leaves, Yang Ding becoming a monk, and the master returning to secular life, he probably wouldn't respect the elderly or show mercy to a pitiful old man like himself.

Clap, clap, clap.

He lightly applauded, acting as if he hadn't heard the Immortal Fairy's invitation to battle, with a smile as warm as a spring breeze.

"Excellent, excellent! Truly a young prodigy. At such a young age, you possess such combat prowess. Your future is limitless!"

The Immortal Fairy nodded, accepting the Emperor of Xia's praise with ease. It was only natural; her invincibility was earned through countless battles, defeating numerous opponents, and smoothly ascending to immortality.

The Emperor of Xia pretended to be temporarily deaf and spoke to Lu Yang with a flattering tone, "Master Lu, you became famous at a young age, standing out with extraordinary talent. In the future, you will undoubtedly have a prominent place!"

The Immortal Fairy continued to nod. As the leader of the five ancient immortals, she was invincible. After dying unexpectedly and being reborn, she found that the world had forgotten her name and legend. With the arrival of a great era, she was determined to reclaim everything that belonged to her.

"I like what I'm hearing. So, do you want to spar with me?"

The Emperor of Xia continued, "Although your master is Bu Yu Taoist and cannot serve in the court, you are still a citizen of Great Xia. When you step down from your position as sect leader, I will grant you the privilege of entering the court without bowing, being addressed by name, and wearing a sword in the palace."

This was no small reward; such an honor required great merit and was enough to leave a lasting legacy in history.

Not to mention the extraordinary combat prowess Lu Yang displayed in defeating the leaders of the four major immortal sects, his crucial role in the destruction of the Immortal Sect, and the establishment of the Heavenly Court Sect to stabilize the Jiuyou Sect. All these feats were enough for the Emperor of Xia to bestow such an honor upon him.

Of course, the real reason was that the Emperor of Xia wanted to buy some time.

The Emperor of Xia frantically signaled to Qiu Jin'an and the others to help change the subject.

He had no hope for Yun Zhi. When he signaled to Yun Zhi, she returned a blank expression.

Qiu Jin'an coughed twice, acting as if he hadn't just been beaten, and praised Lu Yang, "Master Lu's combat awareness is exceptional. Even though I held back, forcing me to this extent is no small feat. I recall during my Golden Elixir stage, I was undefeated across the land."

Yang Ding nodded, rubbing his shiny bald head, and commented on the recent battle.

"Well said. Master Lu's combat awareness is the strongest I've ever seen. He's a natural-born fighter, mastering the essence of unifying fist techniques at such a young age. As expected of Daoist Yun's little junior brother. It's a pity that when I fought him earlier, I was holding back, not using my full strength, which led to my accidental defeat. If I were truly in the Golden Elixir stage, I would definitely want to spar with Master Lu. I've never feared anyone in the Golden Elixir stage."

Luo Hongxia looked disdainfully at the two shameless men, feeling ashamed to be fellow sect leaders with them.

"Master Lu's spells are also impressive, unheard of, as if they belong to a unique school. Just with this, defeating those rogue cultivators starting over would be no problem. If I were still in the Golden Elixir stage, facing those rogue cultivators, I'd only have a ninety percent victory rate, nothing worth mentioning."

Being a sect leader not only required high cultivation but also represented the sect's reputation externally. Lu Yang thought these three were indeed worthy of being sect leaders; their thick skin could rival his master's.

The Immortal Fairy was successfully distracted and didn't mention fighting the Emperor of Xia again. She curiously asked, "So, among you three, who was the strongest in the Golden Elixir stage?"

"Haha, what a question. I was the strongest in the Golden Elixir stage," the three sect leaders said simultaneously.

As soon as these words were spoken, the air fell silent, and the atmosphere became tense.

Even Lu Yang, in his spiritual space, could feel the tense and murderous atmosphere.

The three sect leaders exchanged glances, stepping aside with slight wariness.

Qiu Jin'an squinted his eyes and casually said, "Isn't the strongest Golden Elixir stage me? I challenged higher levels during my Golden Elixir stage, even taking down a branch of the Immortal Sect. Both the branch leader and deputy leader were in the Elemental Infant stage, and I captured them alive."

Yang Ding sneered, "Ridiculous. I was trapped by Bu Yu Taoist back then. Otherwise, I would have been famous worldwide. As if I couldn't defeat someone in the Elemental Infant stage!"

Luo Hongxia, full of confidence, refused to be outdone, "During the Golden Elixir stage, we all fought external enemies together, dealing with the Nine Sons of Seek Tao Sect. We never had a chance to fight each other. Now it seems the time is right."

"Then let's do it!"

"Who’s afraid of whom!"

"Fight!"

Luo Hongxia activated the treasure box, which shot out three beams of light, absorbing the three of them into the box, suppressing their cultivation to the Golden Elixir stage.

As the three entered the box, the murderous atmosphere dissipated, and the air became quiet again.

The Immortal Fairy blinked, not understanding why the three of them suddenly started fighting.

"Weren't the five major immortal sects supposed to be united against a common enemy? This is not united at all," she muttered, thinking that the five ancient immortals were more united than this.

Lu Yang: "..."

Fairy, do you want to guess why they are fighting?

After waiting for a while, the Immortal Fairy saw no movement from the treasure box, indicating that it was difficult to determine a winner in a short time.

"Is everything settled? If so, let's go back." With fewer people at the meeting, the Immortal Fairy's interest waned. Since the matters to be discussed were finished and the fights were over, it was time to leave.

As the acting sect leader, she had a large sect to manage and was very busy.

"Nothing else, let's go back." The Emperor of Xia looked at Lu Yang with a different expression, eager to send this great figure away.

Even Bu Yu Taoist wasn't this troublesome during his Golden Elixir stage.

"Let's go." Yun Zhi was very satisfied with the Immortal Fairy's performance, as she didn't cause too much trouble.

The Immortal Fairy swung her arms and swaggered out of the palace. Yun Zhi followed closely behind, very particular about her posture.

The two of them left on a cloud, leaving only the Emperor of Xia and Master Jie Sha.

"Master, you..."

Master Jie Sha said nothing and left swiftly.

In fact, he also wanted to enter the treasure box to show these juniors what it meant to be invincible in the Golden Elixir stage. But as an elder, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Of course, there was another reason. He suspected that if he entered the treasure box, he would face the combined attacks of the three and might not be able to withstand it.

Practicing the Zen of Silence was difficult. During the meeting, he could only nod or shake his head, unable to speak, which was quite frustrating.

The second update will be at eleven o'clock.
