Chapter 473 -472: Internal Battle of the Immortal Sect_1

Emperor Xia recalled, other than always betting against Lu Yang, he hadn’t done anything to provoke him.

Considering that they couldn’t feel a thing inside the treasure box, it was quite clear – Lu Yang just simply wanted to beat him up.

Emperor Xia was absolutely against the idea of going one-on-one with Lu Yang.

Joking aside, even Master Jiesha was defeated by Lu Yang. He himself was well known for his non-martial prowess, and would definitely be beaten up worse than Luo Hongxia.

Judging by the harsh punishment handed out by Lu Yang, such as making Luo Hongxia chew on leaves, turning Yang Ding into a monk, and causing Master to renounce his monastic life, he probably wouldn’t show any respect to an old man like him.

Clap clap clap.

He clapped lightly, seemingly ignoring Fairy Eternity’s challenge, wearing a smile as refreshing as a spring breeze.

“Good, good, good. As expected from the young geniuses, such impressive battle prowess at such a young age, what a promising future!”

Fairy Eternity nodded, graciously accepting Emperor Xia’s praise. This was a matter of course. She fought her way to the top, defeating numerous opponents, and becoming an immortal successfully.

“So, do you want to have a match with me?”

Emperor Xia feigned deafness and flattered Lu Yang, “Sect Master Lu, you rose to fame at a young age, you are high-spirited and ambitious. In the coming Great Era, there will definitely be a place for you!”

Fairy Eternity continued nodding. As the leader of the Five Immortals of the Ancients, she was invincible in the world. After her unexpected death and rebirth, she found that people had forgotten her name and legends. With the arrival of the Great Era, she could restore her past glory. She was determined to reclaim everything that belonged to her.

“Words I love to hear. So, do you want to spar with me?”

Emperor Xia went on, “Even though your master is Daoist Buyu, and cannot enter the court, you are after all a citizen of our Great Xia. Once you step down from the position of sect leader, I grant you the privileges to enter the court without bowing, and blade entering the hall.”

The rewards were not light, requiring great merits to receive such honors. Though, this was enough to leave one’s name in history.

Without mentioning the formidable strength that Lu Yang demonstrated by defeating the leaders of the Four Great Immortal Sects, just based on his key role in the destruction of the Eternity Sect, along with establishing the Heaven’s Court and stabilizing the Nine Nether Sect, Emperor Xia was inclined to give such rewards to him.

Of course, the real reason was that Emperor Xia wanted to buy himself some time.

Emperor Xia was frantically signaling for Qiu Jin’an and the others to help change the subject.

He couldn’t count on Yun Zhi. Whenever he sent any signals to Yun, Yun just returned a blank expression.

Qiu Jin’an coughed twice and praised Lu Yang as if he wasn’t the one who was just beaten, “Sect Master Lu’s battle awareness is outstanding. Even though I held back a little, forcing me into this state is not easy. When I was at the Golden Core Stage, I fought invincibly across the world without a single loss.”

Yang Ding nodded, stroked his shiny bald head, and commented on the battle just now.

“Well said, Sect Master Lu’s battle awareness is among the strongest I’ve seen in my life. He is a natural fighter. At such a young age, he has mastered the essence of Unity of Fist and Cultivation. It is no surprise that he is a junior brother nurtured by Fellow Daoist Yun. Unfortunately, during our fight just now, I felt guilty about overpowering someone younger, and did not use my full strength and was unintentionally defeated. If I were at the Golden Core Stage, I would definitely spar with Sect Master Lu. I have never been afraid of anyone in fights at the Golden Core Stage.”

Luo Hongxia looked at the two shameless people with disdain, feeling that being an Immortal Sect leader with them was a humiliation.

“Sect Master Lu’s magic skills are also not bad, unheard of. It seems to be uniquely his own. Just with this ability, defeating those rogue cultivators who started over after disbanding cultivation should not be a problem. If I were at the Golden Core Stage, my winning rate >against those rogue cultivators would only be ninety percent, hardly worth mentioning.”

What is an Immortal Sect leader? Not only do they need a high cultivation level, but they also represent the face of the sect externally, with extremely high requirements. Lu Yang felt that the three of them deserved to be the leaders of the Immortal Sects, their thick skins could rival his master’s.

Fairy Eternity was successfully diverted, and did not bring up the one-on-one challenge with Emperor Xia again. Curious, she asked, “Then, among you three who were so powerful at the Golden Core Stage, who was the strongest?”

“Haha, that’s a good question. I was the strongest when I was at the Golden Core Stage.” The three Immortal Sect leaders said at the same time.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly turned tense.

Even Lu Yang, who was in the spiritual space, could feel this tense and solemn atmosphere.

The three leaders exchanged glances, moved their feet to stand apart, and were slightly vigilant.

Qiu Jin’an’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he said carelessly, “I was the strongest in the Golden Core Stage, wasn’t I? At that time, I challenged many levels higher than mine, and even destroyed a branch of the Eternity Sect. Both the Rudder Master and the Deputy_Rudder_Master were at the Nascent Soul Stage, and I captured them both alive.”

Yang Ding chuckled coldly, “Laughable, that was when I was imprisoned by Old Buyu. Otherwise, I would have made my name known to the world long ago. Who can’t defeat those at the Nascent Soul Stage?”

Luo Hongxia was also filled with confidence and refused to be left behind, “When we were at the Golden Core Stage, we cooperated against outsiders to deal with the Nine Sons of the Seek Dao Sect, so we never had a chance to compete. Now, the timing seems just right.”

“Let’s do it!”

“Who’s afraid of who!”

“Let’s do it!”

Luo Hongxia activated the treasure box, which shot out three beams of light, sucking the three of them into the box, and suppressing their cultivation to the Golden Core Stage.

The three of them entered the box, the solemn atmosphere dissipated, and the air returned to calm.

Fairy Eternity blinked, not understanding why they suddenly started to fight.

“I thought the Five Great Immortal Sects were united against a common enemy. But they do not seem to be united at all.” She murmured, the Five Immortals of the Ancients were more united than this.

Lu Yang: “….”

Fairy, don’t you want to guess why they are fighting?

After waiting for a while, Fairy Eternity saw that the treasure box had been quiet for a long time, and it was generally hard to decide the winner in a short time.

“Nothing now, right? Can we go back now?” With one less person at the meeting, Fairy Eternity’s interest waned. Anyway, the topics for the meeting had been discussed, and the people had fought, it was time to go back.

As the Acting Sect Master, she had to manage the vast Seek Dao Sect and deal with a myriad of matters every day.

“Nothing now, let’s go back.” Emperor Xia looked at Lu Yang with a completely different look, eager to send this great Buddha back.

Even Daoist Buyu was not so troublesome when he was at the Golden Core Stage.

“Let’s go.” Yun Zhi was quite satisfied with Fairy Eternity’s performance, she didn’t cause any big trouble.

Fairy Eternity swung her arms and strutted out of the palace. Yun Zhi lagged half a body behind, maintaining a nonchalant demeanor.

The two rode the clouds and left, leaving only Emperor Xia and Master Jiesha.

“Master, you…..”

Master Jiesha didn’t say much and left in a flash.

In truth, he also wanted to enter the treasure box to show Qiu Jin’an and the others what it was like to be invincible at the Golden Core Stage. But after all, he was an elder and couldn’t bring himself to act in such a way.

Of course, there was another reason. He suspected that if he entered the treasure box, he would face a combined attack from the three opponents, and he figured he wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

Silent Zen was hard to practice. During meetings, he could only nod or shake his head and couldn’t speak, which made him feel uncomfortable.
