Chapter 508: Chapter 507: Late Stage of Golden Core_1

If it were up to Lu Yang, he reckoned that if he became an Immortal, he might be even more idle than a fairy, basking in the sun all day. He’d bask in the front, then the back, back to the front again, and at night, sleep on the sun.

Within the realm of the Immortal, there are further stages, and even beyond those stages are further stages. When would cultivating ever end?

“Fairy, you once said that replacement is also a form of forgetting. Could your recipe rights being transferred from you to the Yingtian Immortal be just another form of replacement?”

Fairy Eternity’s eyes brightened as she patted Lu Yang on the shoulder: “Well, that’s a point. Someone could have erased my traces after getting rid of me, and changed all my deeds to Yingtian Immortal’s. I just assumed this bastard Yingtian Immortal was jealous of my talent and took advantage of my absence to steal my thunder.”

“Such a teachable lad!”

“It’s ‘teachable child’.”

Lu Yang mused to himself that Yingtian Immortal must have brain damage from food poisoning to even think of stealing your recipe rights.

“Among the Four Immortals, does anyone have the ability to erase your existence?”

Fairy Eternity furrowed her brows in thought. She considered all the methods of the Four Immortals but couldn’t find a corresponding one. “No, none of them can do it.”

Man and fairy discussed for a while, but they didn’t come up with any more useful information.

It wasn’t necessarily Yingtian Immortal who killed the fairy. Maybe the Qilin Immortal also had a share in the fairy’s recipe rights.

Immortal belongings were rare to begin with, but Fairy Eternity’s possessions were even scarcer.

Unless they could find the heritage Fairy Eternity had mentioned that was buried in the North Star. Surely the heritage would state who the item belonged to and they could draw conclusions from there.

Just as the two were chatting about what Acting Sect Master would do after retirement, Eldest Senior Sister returned with the Imperial Teacher.

Although no sound could be heard, looking at the distorted face and heart-wrenching expressions of the Imperial Teacher, he probably still hadn’t lifted the curse.

“Eldest Senior Sister, can the power of State Destiny lift the curse?”

“It can, but Emperor Xia is not willing to lift it.” Eldest Senior Sister casually threw the Imperial Teacher to one side.

“Why? Didn’t Old Meng and Sect Leader Qiu have their curses lifted?” Lu Yang was confused.

“To be precise, it’s not that the curse has been lifted, but rather, it has been shared.”

“Shared?”

“With the power of State Destiny, the curse can be spread to everyone. After spreading, everyone will marry a quarter of an hour later than originally planned, which is an acceptable level of spreading.”

“But the curse of the Imperial Teacher is too severe. Once spread to everyone, the consequences would be unthinkable.”

Lu Yang then understood why Emperor Xia was unwilling to lift the seal for the Imperial Teacher. If it were him, he wouldn’t be willing to do it either.

“So now…” Lu Yang glanced at the Imperial Teacher who was persevering and rolling around.

“Let him scream for now, we’ll think about solutions later.”

“Alright.”

Nothing could be done anyway, as they couldn’t extract anything from the Imperial Teacher’s soul due to his current state of suffering, with his thoughts in disarray.

If they wanted to refine him directly into a Spirit Device, let alone that Fifth Elder couldn’t refine a Semi-Immortal grade Immortal Treasure, even if they could, the Imperial Teacher’s state would only produce a cursed Immortal Treasure, greatly reducing its effectiveness.

“The Yin Energy is too strong at Captive Peak, it’s not good to stay here for a long time. You should go back first.”

Yun Zhi also said to Fairy Eternity: “Senior, your performance as Acting Sect Master this time was good, I’m satisfied.”

Fairy Eternity touched her nose, somewhat elated: “Just a petty sect. With my talent, I could even be an emperor. Wait till I catch a few more Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivators, I will continue being Acting Sect Master.”

“I am going to the base where the Black-White Venerables have set up. They said there is a Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivator in a slumber, and only the Imperial Teacher knows where he sleeps. I’ll see if we can find any related clues in the base.”

Eldest Senior Sister asked the two to leave first, and once they had left, she called out Grandmaster who was suppressing Captive Peak.

“Grandmaster, this is Jin Buzheng, the second Imperial Teacher of Great Yu. Keep him here for now. When you side, be careful. He has formed a Dao Fruit, which should be a Dao Fruit of Causality.”

In the past, Grandmaster felt that being a Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivator, suppressing Captive Peak, was more than enough and he was also contributing to the sect after retirement.

Now he felt he had greatly overestimated himself. The task of suppressing Captive Peak was too difficult for him.

“Don’t worry Grandmaster, he is deeply trapped in countless difficulties and cannot extricate himself. He finds it hard to even protect himself let alone escape.”

Fearing that the Grandmaster still wasn’t at ease, Yun Zhi laid an Array Method in the cell where the Imperial Teacher was held.

Immediately after, she went to the Secret Realm where the Imperial Teacher and others were hiding.

After leaving Captive Peak, Lu Yang felt a lot lighter.

The celebration ended successfully, the reputation of the Heaven’s Court was established, the Imperial Teacher of Great Yu and his group were caught, and Fairy’s two-month Sect Master experience voucher expired.

Time to start cultivating!

…

Three months passed.

Lu Yang sat cross-legged, the two swords Qingfeng and Mingyue hovered on either side of him, emitting a faint Sword Qi.

The Invincible Elixir slowly rotated, continuously absorbing the spiritual essence from the outside world. The Dantian produced a cyclone of spiritual essence, which revolved faster and faster.

He brought his two fingers together, pointing to the sky, and exclaimed in a soft voice: “Break!”

With this move, Lu Yang’s energy leaked out, like a mountain torrent erupting, irresistible.

The two swords, Qingfeng and Mingyue, collided, their Sword Qi entwined, leaving traces on the grass.

The Sword Qi was even sharper and formidable than before.

“I’ve reached the late stage of the Golden Core.”

Two years in the sect, late stage Golden Core.

Lu Yang smiled and got up, feeling the changes within him. Now, even if he faced his past self from three months ago, he could easily defeat him.

For the past three months, he had focused on cultivation, never once leaving the sect, even when Meng Jingzhou asked him out.

After the celebration, he was in the limelight. All over the world, people knew about Lu Yang of the Seek Dao Sect, the number one in the mid-stage Golden Core who fought against the junior sect leader of Heaven’s Court to a standstill.

Someone even proposed a marriage match, completely ignoring the fact that he was Daoist Buyu’s disciple, which showed how determined they were.

One more reason Lu Yang refused to leave was because if he encountered Transcendence Tribulation Stage people again outside, wouldn’t Fairy have to be Acting Sect Master again?

The process of scavenging the relics of Great Yu cultivators was proceeding in an orderly manner. Eldest Senior Sister went to the base and brought back all the valuable things.

Then, the various sects began to explore according to the locations of the treasures mentioned by the Great Yu cultivators. Two or three sects who were allocated to the same Great Yu cultivator would jointly send people to explore.

The Seek Dao Sect sent the Grand Elder to lead a team to excavate the treasure mentioned by the Black-White Venerables.

The Black-White Venerables, being Transcendence Tribulation Stage powerhouses, had so many good things that Lu Yang was dazzled when he looked at them.

A few days ago, Lu Yang received a message that the Imperial Teacher of Great Yu, after enduring all kinds of difficulties for three months, finally tormented himself to death. His soul was shattered, and the scene was terribly tragic.
