Chapter 1201: Chapter 1200: One Person Below the Transcendance Tribulation Stage

Transporting a fairy palace is no easy feat; even the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord didn’t bring it along when he fled, which says it all.

Moreover, the fairy palace is the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord’s magic artifact, and without his consent, it can’t even fit into a storage ring.

The dimensions of the fairy palace are measured in "li," and Lu Yang certainly can’t carry it from the Sun to an Immortal Sect, as that would be too conspicuous.

Before long, Lu Yang came up with a good idea, "Could we have The Controller use the Enlightenment Tao Fruit to enlighten the fairy palace and let it move itself to our sect?"

Yun Zhi looked at her naive junior brother with an odd tone, "You mean to have The Controller give life to the fairy palace, and then let the fairy palace fly back to our sect on its own. Then, in front of The Controller, dismantle the fairy palace and refine it into an immortal artifact, and finally use that immortal artifact on The Controller?"

Lu Yang scratched his head embarrassingly; it did sound somewhat cruel.

"Then why not just directly invite the Yingtian Immortal to come over? After all, in the end, it will be him who refines the immortal weapons."

Yun Zhi nodded, that indeed seemed like a viable solution.

Although at this moment, Lu Yang was protected by Yun Zhi and Fairy Eternity, and not afraid of the Yingtian Immortal—who would create a clone to come over as soon as someone cursed at Yingtian Immortal a couple of times—it was still not proper to call out to someone in such a manner. Being one who respected the wise and looked up to those of higher ability, Lu Yang decided it was best to personally visit the Laurel Fairy Palace to invite Yingtian Immortal.

Upon arrival at the Laurel Fairy Palace, Lu Yang saw the twins running around happily and fell into contemplation.

"Fairy, why do the cultivators of the fairy palace give birth to only girls after drinking water from the Twin River?"

"Is that so strange? It’s commonly said that ’dragons beget dragons and phoenixes beget phoenixes,’ so if men drink from the Twin River, they birth boys, and if women drink from it, they have girls."

Lu Yang had always wanted to know what would happen if a male drank water from the Twin River, but had never dared to ask.

Now the answer was revealed, and there was no need to ask.

Better to stay away from the Twin River in the future, lest its water splashes onto oneself.

Having found the Yingtian Immortal, and upon hearing that an entire fairy palace was available for refining, Yingtian Immortal became immediately interested and didn’t hesitate to head straight for the Sun.

Upon first seeing the fairy palace, even Yingtian Immortal was shocked.

"To use so many fine goods to create such a palace is a waste; such a tragic squandering of good material!"

"Look here, these two kinds of Immortal Gold have different properties, yet they have been forcefully joined together!"

"And here, the impurities have not been fully removed, and the hardness doesn’t meet the standard; what kind of mess is this?"

"Who refined this rubbish? If you can’t refine it, then don’t bother!"

"Mid-heaven Emperor Lord Mo Qingshui."

Yingtian Immortal sneered upon hearing the name, "What kind of emperor? Nothing but a nouveau riche, thinks he’s all that just because he can devour Dao Fruit."

Lu Yang understood; it was the disdain of a fellow craftsman. While the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord often embarrassingly lost face in front of the Eldest Senior Sister, at other times, he still commanded respect.

Yingtian Immortal was in the same boat.

And considering that during the Great Qian Period, the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord had been in command of the Central Continent, inspiring awe in all directions, it’s no wonder Yingtian Immortal might feel irked inside.

"Is it possible to refine an immortal artifact that suppresses realms?" asked Yun Zhi.

"With so much Immortal Gold, of course, it’s no problem!" Yingtian Immortal said confidently.

Yun Zhi nodded, albeit skeptically; she remembered when she first met Yingtian Immortal, he was also confidently claiming he could refine immortal artifacts, only to turn around and say he couldn’t do it.

Well, might as well believe him one more time.

In the eyes of Yingtian Immortal, the fairy palace was no longer a whole, but neatly arranged blocks of Immortal Gold and Spirit Gold.

He moved with a thought, summoning rolling thunder. The thunder acted like a blade, slicing through the palace; soon, chunks of Immortal Gold and Spirit Gold that Lu Yang couldn’t identify came apart, emitting a faint oppressive force that clearly was not a common object.

Ying Tian Immortal handled the Immortal Gold with ease, growing happier as he cut more of it: "Leave this matter to me."

Seeing how adept Ying Tian Immortal was, Yun Zhi temporarily set aside her doubts about his artifact-refining skills and took Lu Yang back to the Seek Dao Sect, leaving Ying Tian Immortal alone there.

"Refining something like Captive Peak, eh..." Ying Tian Immortal murmured to himself, having not crafted a space-class magic artifact for a long time, forgetting that the most important thing to refine such an artifact was missing.

"I don’t have the blueprint."

When it comes to who excels at designing blueprints, there’s none other than Zhu Tian.

Ying Tian Immortal regretted speaking so soon. If only he had known, he would have asked Lu Yang to bring Zhu Tian over before letting them leave.

"Never mind, I’ll go find Zhu Tian myself."

Before long, Zhu Tian was brought by Ying Tian Immortal to the sun, where Zhu Tian, terrified and cautious, focused solely on designing the map for the new Prison Peak.

Following that, Ying Tian Immortal recalled that refining an Immortal Artifact was best done with Immortal Fire, so he went to fetch Immortal Jiuchong.

Ying Tian Immortal and Immortal Jiuchong stood by Zhu Tian’s side, one on the left, the other on the right, both waiting for Zhu Tian’s design blueprint.

The Ancient Double Immortals stood guard like bodyguards, startling Zhu Tian significantly; fortunately, his mental fortitude was commendable, not letting tension disrupt his design thoughts.

"After all, I am the harbinger of the Great Era’s strife. Now, more and more Immortals are gathering around me," Zhu Tian thought to himself, working with even greater vigor.

...

As the latest issue of Cultivation Monthly was released, news of Lu Yang slaying a Semi-Immortal with Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivation spread rapidly.

The common people heard it and thought nothing of it—just another challenge exceeded; Talent Lu wasn’t doing this for the first time.

But to those knowledgeable cultivators, it was entirely a different matter.

𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Transcendance Tribulation Stage slaying a Semi-Immortal was unheard of from ancient times to the present—a monumental event destined for the history books. Millennia from now, when future generations recount past geniuses, Lu Yang’s name will stand like an insurmountable mountain, impossible to circumvent.

The most critical point was that Lu Yang was not just any Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator, but one who had risen from the Void Refinement Stage fluctuations; defeating Yang Kongdong meant Lu Yang was exceedingly familiar with the power of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

As for whom the news brought the most mixed feelings, it was none other than Lu Baqian, Sect Leader of the Corpse Chasing Sect.

Lu Baqian put down the newspaper and heaved a deep sigh.

"Who would’ve thought Daoist Buyu’s little disciple would grow this quickly."

A disciple of the Corpse Chasing Sect, Zhao Po, had once journeyed through the Wild State with Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, an old acquaintance of Lu Yang.

He couldn’t understand why his Sect Leader felt this way.

"Sect Leader, isn’t it a good thing for Senior Brother Lu to grow so rapidly?"

"Of course, it’s a good thing, but it’s not entirely good for me."

"Why?" Zhao Po still didn’t understand.

Lu Baqian glanced at Zhao Po, whose talent for cultivation wasn’t bad but who couldn’t seem to catch on quickly, especially when compared to Lu Yang.

Although he wasn’t the brightest, he was nonetheless the next Sect Leader, so he deserved a bit more explanation.

"Many years ago, I was possessed by a Great Yu Cultivator. The Great Yu Cultivator helped me cultivate to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and I gained the body of that stage as a blessing in disguise, while my soul remained at the Body Integration Realm. Therefore, strictly speaking, I am a Body Integration Realm cultivator."

"That’s why I have the reputation as the supreme under the Transcendance Tribulation Stage."

"If Lu Yang one day steps into the Body Integration Realm, the title of the supreme under the Transcendance Tribulation Stage won’t hold."

Zhao Po: "..."

Isn’t the title of ’supreme under the Transcendance Tribulation Stage’ self-proclaimed?
