Chapter 1324: Chapter 1323: There are Great Opportunities and Great Creation

The senior cultivators in the Body Integration Realm and the Transcendance Tribulation Stage watching from afar were extremely astonished. Why has Wu Yao’s attitude changed so dramatically after becoming an Immortal?

Is this the mindset of an Immortal? Ascending from the mortal to the Immortal realm, adopting an aloof attitude, letting go of all past grudges and resentments.

"Has Fellow Daoist Lu Yang got two more people with him? Who are they?"

"It’s Eldest Senior Sister Yun Zhi from the Seek Dao Sect." Shi Chan saw Yun Zhi using the Heavenly Eye Technique, his expression turning odd, remembering the time he went to Seek Dao Sect to study and had proactively challenged Yun Zhi only to get soundly defeated.

Could it be that Wu Yao’s change in attitude has something to do with Senior Yun Zhi?

But that shouldn’t be, is Senior Yun Zhi an Immortal?

Those old seniors in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage all had similar thoughts to Shi Chan; they had all sparred with Yun Zhi, acknowledged her strength, but thought her to be a Semi-Immortal, not someone who would make Wu Yao apprehensive.

"Daoist Yun Zhi, long time no see. You’re as elegant as ever after so many years." Wu Yao laughed heartily, and one would think he and Yun Zhi were old Daoist friends who hadn’t seen each other for years.

To this, Yun Zhi simply replied with an "Mm," making Wu Yao’s smile freeze on his face, awkward and unsure of how to continue the conversation.

"Wow, you’re pretty amazing, truly befitting of Emperor Yu, able to fight toe-to-toe with our second-in-command."

Naturally, Yun Zhi’s return was accompanied by Yun Mengmeng.

Wu Yao: "..."

Still at a loss for what to say, Wu Yao thought, what kind of comment is that? In terms of fame or status, Lu Yang couldn’t compare to him, and yet it’s spoken as if it’s his honor to be able to exchange blows with Lu Yang.

Doesn’t this young girl know how to speak?

"Second-in-command, are you alright?" Yun Mengmeng patted and searched Lu Yang to check his injuries.

Lu Yang’s face flushed red, hastily retreating from Yun Mengmeng: "I’m fine, I’m fine, what could possibly be wrong with me?"

A bolt from the blue descended, it was the Thunder Tribulation clone of Yingtian Immortal.

He sensed the birth of an Immortal Ascension Tribulation near the Cultivation World, so he sent a clone to investigate, wanting to know who had ascended as an Immortal.

"Who is this person?" Yingtian Immortal asked Lu Yang.

"Emperor Wu Yao of Yu, or you could say Heavenly Emperor Wu Yao."

Yingtian Immortal understood at once; it was him. Did he know the gates to the Cultivation World were open, returning home to visit?

Noticing the Candle Sky Soldier and Integration Period Cultivators, he realized it wasn’t quite so: "It looks like a lot has happened during the time I was absent."

After speaking, he dissipated the clone, sending the information here back to his main body. So much had happened in the Cultivation World, it was time to return and take a look.

Finally, Yun Zhi spoke, but her words sent a chill down his spine: "Senior Wu Yao, you’ve condoned your subordinates in their theft of Spirit Stones from the Cultivation World. Do you have anything to say about it?"

Wu Yao quickly offered a placating smile: "A misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding, Fellow Daoist Yun Zhi. It was all done by my subordinates without my knowledge. The Cultivation World is my home too; had I known they were pillaging Spirit Stones from there, I certainly would not have allowed them to commit such outrageous acts!"

"You see, as soon as I learned they were going to the Cultivation World to steal Spirit Stones, I set out immediately to intercept them. It’s just that they were too far away, and I was one step too late, they still engaged in conflict with the Cultivation World."

Yun Zhi’s eyes slightly lifted, maintaining that unchanging, deep, well-like expression, leaving Wu Yao unable to decipher her thoughts.

"A misunderstanding? So you’re saying, Senior Wu Yao, that your attempt to reclaim your captive and the resulting conflict with my Junior Brother, as well as injuring my Junior Brother, was also a misunderstanding?"

Hearing this, Lu Yang happened to cough a few times, his voice hoarse and heavy, hinting at serious injury, and also coughing up some blood, substantiating the Eldest Senior Sister’s words.

Wu Yao’s eyelids twitched upon hearing the words, and his voice grew icy, abandoning his previously ingratiating demeanor: "So, you mean to say, Daoist Yun Zhi insists on not letting this matter go?"

"The incident has happened; naturally, there must be an explanation. Wu Yao, Senior, you are welcome to discuss this at Captive Peak within the Seek Dao Sect."

"Don’t go too far!" Wu Yao bellowed in anger, fully aware of what kind of place Captive Peak was.

Who is he? Having cultivated to become an Immortal in two lifetimes, he’s the only one since ancient times to have achieved this. As an Immortal who transcends the mortal world, when has one ever heard of an Immortal being reduced to a mere prisoner? It would be an immense humiliation!

He had previously thought to avoid conflict for the sake of profit, not wishing to provoke a formidable enemy like Yun Zhi over trifles.

But if Yun Zhi thinks she can arbitrarily decide his fate, then she is gravely mistaken.

At this moment, he is at the peak of his life. He is far stronger than when he was Emperor Wu Yao, not only in terms of Mind State but also the disparity within the Dao Fruits. He is a Heavenly Emperor in the truest sense, and if a fight were to erupt, he would fear no one!

Simultaneously, he covertly stimulated the Creation Dao Fruit, predicting the outcome of this potential battle.

"After this battle, I will be able to comprehend true principles, reunite with dear friends and mentors after more than a hundred thousand years, clash with other Immortals, and exchange insights on the Immortal Dao, filling in what I lack?"

"What great fortune, what a grand opportunity this is!"

When the Dao Fruit was merely an outline, his clash with Lu Yang let him vaguely sense that Lu Yang would bring him great fortune. Albeit this premonition was faint, once the Dao Fruit formed, his sensitivity to fortune and opportunity became much clearer, a sort of prediction of the future!

Assured by the results given by the Dao Fruit, Wu Yao was full of confidence. Such gains must not be missed from this opportunity.

The fight must happen now if at all; upon learning of this place, the Thunder Tribulation clone of the Yingtian Immortal will surely return to the Cultivation World. And if Yun Zhi were to join forces with the Four Ancient Immortals, he would certainly be no match.

The bronze spear reappeared, its might extraordinary. The Creation Dao Fruit easily advanced the spear, transforming it from an Immortal Treasure into a true Immortal Artifact.

As the spear danced, it emitted a light that resembled hanging galaxies, demonstrating the vast difference between Immortal Treasures and true Immortal Artifacts with just this one move.

The Creation Dao Fruit unveiled its divine power, with myriad monsters leaping out of the painting-like Fish Leaping Over the Dragon’s Gate, appearing even more formidable than legends suggested. Despite not stepping into the Immortal Level, they already subtly bore the grace of Immortality.

The bronze spear, too, was replicated by the mere thought into millions of copies, hanging throughout space.

Immortal Talismans, Immortal-level Arrays... they overwhelmed the sky, submerging the area.

The Integration Period Cultivators and the Transcendance Tribulation Stage ones were utterly astonished by this scene. Wasn’t the fighting supposed to have stopped? Why has it suddenly escalated again?

Seeing the extent of preparations, it was clear that serious engagement was imminent, but Wu Yao was already an Immortal; who present here was worth his true effort?

"Daoist Yun Zhi, you will regret your decision today!" Wu Yao’s brow bore the mark of an Immortal pattern, controlling all of Creation. Having become an Immortal, his Spiritual Sense metamorphosed into Immortal Sense, the might of which was boundless.

Purple qi rose tumultuously, chaos pervaded, and with creation through Immortal Dao, he attacked Yun Zhi, showcasing the majesty of an Immortal!

"Cloud Falling Palm."

Yun Zhi responded indifferently to Wu Yao’s roar, her single hand shattering his Immortal Creation.

Wu Yao watched powerlessly as the delicate hand fell, unstoppable, regret and despair surging from the depths of his heart.

Was the gap between him and Yun Zhi still so vast?

Boom—

Immortal Creation shattered, and all returned to calm.

Wu Yao, lifted by Yun Zhi, had a vacant look, his clarity gone. At this moment, he finally understood a lesson—not to take one’s dignity too seriously, for there will be times when one is shamed.
