Chapter 429 -428: Start Over after Disbanding Cultivation_1

“Start over after disbanding cultivation?” Lu Yang heard this term for the first time, although its literal meaning was quite easy to understand.

“Yes, many cultivators had no guidance at the beginning of their cultivation, and their training process was not smooth, with shaky foundations. This is not a big problem at low realms, at most they will be challenged by someone like you with a solid foundation. But when they reach a high realm, the problem becomes significant, it’s very easy to encounter stagnant cultivation progress, and after hundreds or even thousands of years, there’s no progress at all.”

“By then, cultivators will face a choice—Starting over after disbanding cultivation.”

Fairy Eternity spoke eloquently; no one could surpass her knowledge of cultivation.

“Dissipating a lifetime’s cultivation level, it’s similar to reincarnation, carrying memories with it, becoming a baby, starting over. With previous cultivation memories, this round of cultivation can take fewer detours, knowing how to solidify the foundation. Opportunities missed in the past due to high cultivation levels or old age will not be missed again. Outsiders can’t tell if he is reincarnated or not, not even through bone age testing or anything else.”

“However, starting over after disbanding cultivation faces three problems. First, it requires a certain cultivation level; it must be during the Unification period, which is the prime stage. At the prime stage, the …, ensuring that the true spirit won’t extinguish after disbanding cultivation. If disbanding of cultivation is done at an old age, the … will disperse, resulting in failure and shattering of souls, beyond the point of rescue.”

“Secondly, after starting over, you will be like a newborn baby, without any self-preservation skills, even eating and crawling could be a problem. Once you gradually grow and pass the infant stage, the Cultivation World is not safe. You never know if you’ll encounter any enemies during your growth, which might result in untimely death.”

“The third is that the foundation after restarting cannot be guaranteed. For example, if your foundation was Dual Spirit Roots before disbanding, you could end up having Three Four Spirit Roots after disbanding. In such cases, even if you have cultivation experience, it would be difficult to return to your previous level.”

Lu Yang nodded, starting over after disbanding cultivation sounded very similar to Li Haoran’s situation, but there were also differences. At the very least, Li Haoran was a completely new individual, and his talents in his next life would certainly be stronger than the previous one. Both had their advantages and disadvantages.

No wonder Huang Ming was so hard to deal with, this was equivalent to fighting with a Great Power who started at the Unification stage and suppressed himself to the same realm as Lu Yang.

“By the way, among the Five Immortals of the Ancients, did anyone start over after disbanding their cultivation?”

“No.” Fairy Eternity counted with her fingers for Lu Yang, “I originated from a small tribe, Yingtian Immortal was a refugee, Immortal Jiuchong was the first heir of the Lianshan Clan, Qilin Immortal was born and raised naturally, and Time Immortal was the incarnation of the Firmament Tree.”

“Can Fairy tell who Huang Ming reincarnated from before?”

Fairy Eternity shook her head: “I can’t tell. If he hadn’t just used a spiritual attack that didn’t belong to this realm, I wouldn’t have been able to judge that he has reincarnated.”

Lu Yang was pondering. Did the Corpse Chasing Sect know that Huang Ming was reincarnated? Why did Huang Ming choose to cultivate in the Corpse Chasing Sect? This kind of talent is enough to enter the Five Great Immortal Sects. Is he afraid of something, or does the Corpse Chasing Sect have some special features?

“Forget it, don’t think too much about it for now.” Lu Yang showed an excited smile, drew out his Green Peak Sword, this was his first time encountering a reincarnated opponent, it was time to get serious.

Huang Ming was scrutinizing Lu Yang with a solemn expression, treating him as a formidable opponent, not daring to let his guard down.

As a cultivator who had disbanded his cultivation and started over, he could not tolerate losing to a junior cultivator. That’s why he used the Spiritual Arrow Feather out of normal conventions.

The Spiritual Arrow Feather is absolutely undefendable for Golden Core Mid-stage cultivators, even for those who primarily cultivate spiritual power at the Golden Core Mid-stage!

How did the opponent manage to do it? Could it be that he, like Huang Ming, restarted after disbanding his cultivation?

Huang Ming had no idea that as early as when Lu Yang resurrected Fairy Eternity at the Foundation Establishment stage, Fairy Eternity forcibly had Lu Yang create a spiritual space. This made his spiritual strength significantly stronger than his peers. With the subsequent relentless efforts of Fairy Eternity in the spiritual space, the area and toughness of the spiritual space kept growing.

In terms of spiritual strength, nobody in the Golden Core stage could compare with Lu Yang.

“Slash!” Lu Yang shouted out loud. The unity of …, the Sword Qi was like a resilient horse whip, extremely ferocious. The sword blade danced a swift arc in the air, slashing towards Huang Ming.

Zhao Po, who was observing the battle, had his hairs on end. Even from a side view of this sword strike, he could feel its terror. Was this really a sword technique that could be used at the Golden Core Mid-stage?

The spectating Ghost Drowner was also quite shocked. Only now did he realize that Lu Yang had held back in their battle just now. Otherwise, with this attack alone, he would have been seriously injured and defeated!

This sword strike was too fast and harsh for Huang Ming to dodge. If he insisted on resisting it, he would undoubtedly lose. Huang Ming gritted his teeth, teleported and disappeared from the spot. In his place was the Living Corpse.

He quickly exchanged positions with the Living Corpse!

“Corpse shifter?!” Zhao Po was taken aback, he didn’t expect Brother Huang Ming to have learned such a secret technique. Normally, only those in the Nascent Soul Stage could learn it.

Huang Ming was panting heavily, taking a Qi Recovery Pill to recover his spiritual essence. He forcefully used the secret technique, draining all the remaining spiritual essence in an instant.

The Living Corpse took the sword blow, splitting into two. The cut ends grew countless red threads that interlinked, and the Living Corpse recovered as before.

Huang Ming no longer held back, controlling the Living Corpse to attack Lu Yang together.

The drawback of a Corpse-driver lies in their physical body, they can only control the Living Corpse to fight. But Huang Ming had a strong physical body and vigorous spiritual power. He could both control the Living Corpse and fight at the same time, making up for all the shortcomings of a Corpse-driver.

His fighting power skyrocketed!

Zhao Po watched this scene in a daze. Huang Ming’s various techniques completely overturned his understanding. So, the gap between him and Huang Ming was this big?

“Ha, now it gets interesting.” Lu Yang was fighting one against two, with no intention of retreating, like a war god, getting stronger as he fought.

“No wonder you can become a disciple of the Seek Dao Sect, you do have some skills, but that’s all!” Huang Ming’s eyes were wolfish, revealing ferocity and determination.

“With your talent, you are unrivaled amongst your peers, you probably haven’t tasted the bitterness of defeat, right? Today, let me teach you that bitterness!” Huang Ming revealed a mocking smile.

“Blooming Beyond Flowers, reshaping the world!”

This was his last and strongest trump card. If he were to lose again, he shouldn’t be wasting time talking about gaining a say in the future Great Era after disbanding cultivation. It would be better to end his life earlier.

The enchanting red Beyond Flowers bloomed, and Huang Ming along with the Living Corpse’s eyes turned red. Their momentum soared, their nails extended, like a beast’s sharp claws, extremely fierce. Under this momentum’s influence, the ground shook as if the earth dragon was turning over, causing the mountains and the earth to tremble!

“You’re two against one, I’d like to see how you win!” Huang Ming was confident of victory, his facial expression somewhat distorted.

“This is indeed difficult to continue with.” Murmured Lu Yang. He retracted into the ground, took out the Twin Lotus seed, and cast the “Tree-Planting Sutra”.

Under Huang Ming’s slightly stunned gaze, in the midst of the Beyond Flowers blooming, a lotus flower blossomed. Two Lu Yangs appeared simultaneously, one holding the Green Peak Sword and the other holding the Dark Moon Sword.

Lu Yang revealed a leisurely smile at the corner of his mouth.

“Now it’s a two on two.”
