Chapter 1198: Chapter 1197: The Fat Water Does Not Flow to Outsiders’ Fields

Five Elements Sect, a place of Enlightenment.

Mister Tiankui stood facing the intricate chessboard, lost in deep contemplation. The more he studied the black and white pieces, the more he sensed the endless mysteries and wonders of the world embodied within the game.

"I can’t figure it out... Achoo!"

Suddenly, Mister Tiankui sneezed.

"Strange, is an old friend thinking of me?"

"Could it really be because I’m so well-liked?"

...

"I had heard long ago that Mister Tiankui founded the Five Elements Sect, advocating that all things are comprised of the Five Elements. I thought about whether I should meet him," Immortal Jiuchong, who had heard of Mister Tiankui over a hundred thousand years ago in the Extreme Northern Lands, said with a smile. It would be rude to just approach him without an introduction, and it would be much more convenient with Celestial Master Guiyuan there to introduce him.

Celestial Master Guiyuan quietly stepped back and said, "Well, should I first get him some insurance? I heard it’s popular among young people these days."

He felt that Mister Tiankui might not be very keen on communicating with Immortal Jiuchong.

"It’s just a joke, Celestial Master Guiyuan. I am a scholar, and a gentleman does not resort to violence."

Meanwhile, Yun Mengmeng clenched her fist tightly, cheering for Lu Yang silently as she worried that a loud voice might distract the Second-in-command during the battle.

Qinghe bit on the tip of her brush, pondering how to write the history of the Great Bean Dynasty, particularly the significant events that occurred when the adults were in the Extreme Northern Lands, which were indeed vivid Chapters in the dynasty’s history.

She was currently writing about Emperor Dou commanding Lu Yang to battle the Controller.

"Maybe I should title this part ’The Two Emperors Battle the Controller?’"

"No, that makes the Controller seem too strong."

"It’s a pity. If only the adult could regain his Immortal Body and defeat the Controller straightforwardly, this history would be much easier to write."

Qinghe shook her head regretfully. As a historian, she couldn’t record history that didn’t exist.

Seeing Yun Mengmeng quietly cheering, Qinghe suggested, "Actually, Mengmeng, you could prepare some Spirit Fruit or juice it."

When Yun Mengmeng looked puzzled, Qinghe further explained, "After Lu Zhuguo finishes fighting, he’ll surely be hungry and thirsty. The most needed thing will be food and drink, and your preparation would come in handy."

These were insights Qinghe had gained while serving Immortal Fairy Ao Ling in ancient times.

"I see!" With the explanation made clear, Yun Mengmeng hastened to prepare.

The battle between Lu Yang and Vast Sea Daoist Lord entered a tense stage. The True Dragon Fist was no match for Ao Ling Sword Qi and Arhat Fist, and he was forced to retreat step by step. The Vast Sea Daoist Lord used other magic skills that Lu Yang also managed to break through. Finally, in desperation, he shamelessly activated the Embryonic Spatial Dao Fruit.

He set up a spatial barrier around him, which absorbed any approaching Sword Qi, letting it fly out from another end of the barrier, ensuring the Sword Qi never harmed him.

However, in this state, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord couldn’t harm Lu Yang either.

The Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s forte was absorbing attacks and transferring them back to the attacker, but since he was absorbing Lu Yang’s Sword Qi, it was impossible for Lu Yang’s own Sword Qi to harm him.

Activating the Dao Fruit Embryo exerted a minimal strain on mana, and Lu Yang’s strength originated from the Buddha Country Immortal Body. If they were to continue in this stalemate, they could fight for three days and nights without ending.

Faced with this situation, Lu Yang came up with a plan.

Activating the Dao Fruit Embryo required the Vast Sea Daoist Lord to keep his focus on the Dao Fruit Embryo. Lu Yang could use the Extinguish Immortal Sword Array to force the Vast Sea Daoist Lord to kneel, causing him to be distracted and lose focus, which would allow Lu Yang an opportunity to strike.

Reluctantly, Lu Yang raised his hand; such a tactic could only be imagined and dismissed, as this was not a fight to the death. How could he make the Vast Sea Daoist Lord kneel before him?

"I surrender."

Vast Sea Daoist Lord helplessly looked at Lu Yang and the endless Sword Qi surrounding him, "Don’t just say you surrender, withdraw the Sword Qi as well!"

Vast Sea Daoist Lord was forced to use the Embryonic Spatial Dao Fruit, otherwise, he would have been pierced into a hornet’s nest by Lu Yang long ago.

Once Lu Yang dispersed the Sword Qi, Vast Sea Daoist Lord dared to stop using the Embryonic Spatial Dao Fruit and landed.

Vast Sea Daoist Lord was thankful he had chosen to spar with Lu Yang now, for in another two years, he truly would have had no chance of winning.

"Little Lu, you are very impressive. If I were only at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, I definitely couldn’t have beaten you."

When Vast Sea Daoist Lord was revitalizing the Seek Dao Sect, he too conquered the world with his fists. Every household in the Transcendence Tribulation Stage had fought him. This isn’t modesty but a fact; he was truly an expert at that level.

It’s just that he still fell short compared to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang’s swordsmanship, magic skills, and combat experience were all sufficient. What he lacked now was realm, Vast Sea Daoist Lord thought secretly.

"Second-in-command fought really well." Yun Mengmeng brought over a tray, which not only had Spirit Fruit and juice but also thoughtfully included a warm towel for Lu Yang to freshen up with.

Lu Yang released the Imitation Fist, took a deep breath, and felt utterly exhausted.

Sparring with Vast Sea Daoist Lord was not an easy task; it posed a huge strain on Spiritual Power. Once he released the Imitation Fist, fatigue surged through him, and he nearly couldn’t even stand.

Fortunately, there was the Spirit Fruit prepared by Yun Mengmeng.

"Delicious." Lu Yang ate two slices of Spirit Fruit shaped like the Green Peak Sword. He didn’t know what variety this Spirit Fruit was, but its effects were immediate and significantly rejuvenated his spirit.

"What kind of Spirit Fruit is this?" Lu Yang had wanted to inquire about the origin of the Spirit Fruit before the fight.

"This is the Immortal Spirit Fruit from our Immortal Lineage, it restores energy and physical strength when eaten." Now, Yun Mengmeng had mastered the cultivation of Immortal Spirit Fruit.

"..."

Lu Yang suddenly lost his appetite for the Spirit Fruit; he remembered that Immortal Spirit Fruit could explode.

But indeed, it was quite delicious.

He decided to keep eating.

After Celestial Master Guiyuan was forced to take the Immortal Jiuchong to the Five Elements Sect, and Vast Sea Daoist Lord returned to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, Lu Yang regained some strength and got up from the ground.

"It’s time to get to business."

...

Meng Jingzhou gritted his teeth as he stared at his good friend, "So, you fought with the Vast Sea Ancestral Master and then ran straight here?"

"You didn’t rest at all, did you?"

"Old Meng, you know that only you can handle the interview," Lu Yang earnestly persuaded Meng Jingzhou for his own fame.

"Just look at the people involved; it can’t be the Eldest Senior Sister or the Immortal Jiuchong who interview me."

"Senior Ma is low-key and wouldn’t interview me either."

"The Snow Emperor and Xue Shilou are in the Extreme Northern Lands; no one can find them, and the Snow Emperor has already retired."

"The guard Little Huo isn’t at the required level."

"So counting up and down, you’re the only one left."

"Besides, talents like us shouldn’t be wasted; my victory over Yang Kongdong is a historically significant event. The newspapers will be preserved, and future generations reading them will find not only my name but yours too!"

Meng Jingzhou considered whether to use his financial resources to simply buy up all the copies of this newspaper issue.
