Chapter 430 -429: Huang Ming’s Identity_1

Huang Ming, a Great Power in the Unification stage, had chosen to Start Over after Disbanding Cultivation. In over two thousand years of traversing the Cultivation World, this was the first time seeing a Cultivator at the Golden Core Stage who could use Clone Magic Spells.

Moreover, it was performed in such a fashion.

Before Huang Ming could comprehend what was happening, the two swords Green Peak and Dark Moon, like two Flood Dragons adventuring in the East Sea, arrived flaring with bloodshed and roars.

Lu Yang was uncertain whether the Living Corpse could still resurrect after being severed again. Instead of taking chances on an uncertain matter, it was better to directly attack Huang Ming.

He didn’t believe that Huang Ming could also regenerate like the Living Corpse.

In a hurry, Huang Ming manipulated the Living Corpse to attack. Lu Yang let his clone, wielding the Dark Moon Sword, block Living Corpse’s attack and contested against Huang Ming himself.

Both sides were once again in a stalemate, but Huang Ming quickly discovered his disadvantage.

Lu Yang’s spiritual power was even stronger than his own. The precision in controlling the clone was higher. In the battle between the Living Corpse and the clone, the Living Corpse was losing ground.

If the clone were to win, then he would be facing a two-versus-one situation.

Huang Ming was alarmed by Lu Yang’s chuckling that echoed by his ear, sending a cold shiver down his spine.

“Do you not even understand that one cannot be distracted during a battle? Break!”

Lu Yang cast a “Break” spell. The Sword Qi shot up into the sky and gushed out, its radiant sword light intertwined like a curtain.

A scarlet light curtain stood in front of Huang Ming. It was his strongest defensive move. However, before the fully-empowered “Break” spell, the scarlet light curtain only lasted a brief moment before it was shattered.

Thwack—

Huang Ming wanted to perform the Corpse Swap spell again but was too slow. His right shoulder was pierced through.

Huang Ming was seriously injured and needed to rest for at least half a month to recover.

In the midst of the battle, Huang Ming had consumed a Qi Recovery Pill. However, near the end, he still faced a shortage of spiritual essence.

In contrast, Lu Yang hadn’t consumed any Elixir to restore his spiritual essence from start to finish. This was not just due to the potency of the Invincible Elixir, but it was also because of a diet of tofu during the initial cultivation.

Long-term consumption of tofu can regulate the Five Elements balance in a Cultivator, providing greater endurance during battles.

“I admit defeat!” Huang Ming clenched his teeth in vexation, acknowledging his defeat, and consumed an Elixir to heal his injuries.

Lu Yang sheathed his sword. He was as animated and friendly as if he hadn’t just wounded Huang Ming.

“What made you decide to Start Over after Disbanding Cultivation?”

Huang Ming sighed, “I was too hurried when I was young and neglected my basics. I was caught in the Mid-stage of Unification, and I just couldn’t breakthrough. Coincidently, I saw this as a good opportunity to Start Over after Disbanding Cultivation, so I got reincarnated.”

Lu Yang wondered, “Then why didn’t you join the Five Great Immortal Sects? The resources at the Immortal Sects are more abundant than those of the Corpse Chasing Sect, right?”

“Entering the Immortal Sect isn’t easy. There are so many accomplished Cultivators there. And who knows, someone might just find out about our real identity. Speaking of which, you must have courage. Not only did you manage to infiltrate an Immortal Sect, but you also made such a high profile.”

Huang Ming, thinking of Lu Yang’s phenomenal Spiritual Power, believed he might also be a Cultivator who had chosen to recover after disbanding cultivation.

He asked further, “Your Clone Magic Spells are unique. I have never heard of it before, and I don’t remember any historical records of it either. Presumably, the lineage was discontinued and the skill lost. Are you a Cultivator from the Great Qian Era?”

“No, I didn’t Start Over after Disbanding Cultivation.”

“Don’t bluff! How could you defeat me if you didn’t Start Over after Disbanding Cultivation? Let me share some inside info with you. I am Radix Honorable from the Great Yu Dynasty. What’s your name? I might have heard about you.”

Lu Yang didn’t respond, but silently looked at Huang Ming.

It seemed Huang Ming had understood something.

Huang Ming: “…”

Lu Yang: “…”

“You are a Cultivator from the Great Yu Dynasty!”

“You are really a disciple of the Seek Dao Sect!”

Both voices intertwined together.

Lu Yang had thought that Huang Ming was an elder from the Corpse Chasing Sect who had Chosen to Start Over after Disbanding Cultivation. His tone had been quite casual, but he never expected that Huang Ming was a Cultivator from the Great Yu Dynasty.

Huang Ming was even more shocked than Lu Yang. The combat power displayed by Lu Yang was actually cultivated step by step without starting over after disbanding his cultivation. Even the Imperial Teacher wouldn’t be able to achieve this at this realm!

Are the geniuses of the Great Era really this terrifying?!

Meng Jingzhou realized the gravity of the problem, Huang Ming was actually a cultivator of Great Yu.

This was Man Gu and Zhao Po’s first meeting with ancient cultivators, and their reactions were relatively subdued compared to those of Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

Huang Ming quickly responded, his tone stern, eyes clouded with grimness, and not a trace of a smile: “Very well, you are indeed a genius from the Great Era, capable of putting me in such a desperate state!”

“In that case, I can’t let you live!”

“I originally planned to have a chat with you, and kill everyone who overheard our conversation. Now it seems you must die too!”

Huang Ming no longer concealed his killing intent, and summoned his companions using a secret method.

“Fellow Daoist Mong, kill them all!”

“Lu Yang, be careful, there’s a Unification stage cultivator coming!”

As soon as Fairy Eternity’s warning finished, an overwhelming pressure descended on them like a towering mountain.

A middle-aged man with streaks of white hair appeared in the sky. Ignoring Lu Yang and the others, he looked down at Huang Ming, with a trace of mockery on his face.

“Fellow Daoist Huang, you look quite miserable.”

“You would be, too, if you were in my position!” Huang Ming yelled angrily. This Lu Yang’s talent was horrifying. Even he, having restarted his cultivation after reaching Unification stage, was no match for him.

If they allowed him to grow, then what?

They had to get rid of him as soon as possible!

“Sure, sure.” The ancient cultivator called Fellow Daoist Mong laughed. These were just a few Golden Core Stage cultivators, he could exterminate them with the flick of a finger.

“It’s… it’s him!” The drowned ghost instinctively shouted, recognizing the familiar presence.

“It was him who knocked me unconscious and took me here from the East Sea!”

Fellow Daoist Mong glanced down, saw it was the drowned ghost, and chuckled quietly.

“So it’s that drowned ghost from the East Sea.”

Lu Yang was shocked. This meant the ghost disaster in Hanshui City was created by Fellow Daoist Mong. He captured ghosts from different places and threw them into Hanshui City, but he didn’t know what they wanted to do!

Fellow Daoist Mong no longer paid attention to the drowned ghost. A Nascent Soul Stage specter wasn’t worth his attention: “I’ll help you kill these people and fake the crime scene. We’ll just say you died fighting this drowned ghost. That way you can stay in the Corpse Chasing Sect. In exchange, you have to tell me about one of your treasure locations.”

Huang Ming clenched his teeth, anger swirling in his chest but leaving his lips unvoiced. This was a barefaced robbery, but he was completely helpless.

“Deal!”

“Ha-ha, then thanks in advance for Fellow Daoist Huang’s gift!”

Pleased to get what he wanted, Fellow Daoist Mong didn’t hold back anymore and started to look at Lu Yang and the others as if they were already dead.

“You young fellows, I am kind-hearted. I will let you choose your own way of death, would you like to be dismembered or become a Human Pill? Or perhaps die in a ghost possession?”

Lu Yang and others were sweating profusely. Their backs were soaked, notably Zhao Po who had never encountered such a situation.

“What death would you choose?”

An abrupt interruption broke the atmosphere.

“Who!” Fellow Daoist Mong was startled, not noticing when this person had arrived.

Boom—

Fellow Daoist Mong was hit by the Five-Colored Bright Wheel, falling from the sky, spitting blood, horror flashed in his eyes.

He could tell from this blow alone that the difference in power between them was vast.

The newcomer was dressed in blue, hands behind his back, his tone indifferent. The Five-Colored Bright Wheel was behind his head, making him look divine.

“Five Elements Sect Leader, Qiu Jin’an.”
