"Go forth, Third Boss!"

Under the crafty Lu Yang's implication, Fairy Eternity's intelligence skyrocketed, and she knew to send someone to test the waters before the battle commenced.

"Xiao Ling, Lianyi, the two of you must closely observe Miss Yun's combat methods!"

Immortal Eternity intended to refuse, but he was constrained by the Eternity Dao Fruit and controlled by Fairy Eternity, rendering his reluctance futile; he had to join the fray regardless.

Seeing Fairy Eternity amass her forces, seemingly ready for a battle to the death, ripples stirred in Yun Zhi's eyes, which were calm as a lake.

The bravest among them, the Third Boss, under Fairy Eternity's control, took the initiative to attack.

"Great Free and Easy Palm!"

The Third Boss, with a determined gaze, unleashed a palm strike. Radiance exploded like a torrential flood and thunderous force. Where it passed, the very space seemed to rip open with a fissure, an impressive might indeed!

Yun Zhi pushed out a palm in return, which appeared to have no attack power or anomalies to onlookers, but only the Third Boss could clearly feel the horror of this palm strike.

Before Yun Zhi's palm even touched the Third Boss, starting from his raised right hand, he began to crack and crumble.

"Restore!"

The Third Boss shouted, and his shattered soul miraculously reassembled itself.

Yun Zhi grasped the Third Boss's neck, which started to freeze from the throat and quickly spread.

The Third Boss didn't even have time to react before he turned into an ice sculpture.

Yun Zhi tossed the Third Boss aside and said calmly, "Next."

Facing such dire straits, Fairy Eternity still managed to remain composed and calm, waving her hand to command her troops.

"Everyone, attack together!"

Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi, worthy of being Fairy Eternity's two great generals, led the charge on receiving the order.

Fairy Eternity herself had the resolve of an emperor leading a charge, spearheading the attack with such speed that she outstripped even Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi.

"Immortal Fist Technique!"

From the rear, Lu Yang watched as Fairy Eternity and her two warriors engaged in fierce battle, employing various combat techniques and frequently casting immortal magic. Eldest Senior Sister massacred all around her, an imposing sight to behold.

The air was thick with the aura of slaughter and death. Fairy Eternity and her companions fell one after another, dead beyond any doubt.

Lu Yang looked at his emotionless Eldest Senior Sister approaching and shivered.

"Eldest Senior Sister, I'm not with them!" Lu Yang immediately declared his stance; serving as a treacherous courtier in the Doudou Dynasty was just a provisional measure. His true loyalty lay with Eldest Senior Sister Yun Zhi!

"I know," Eldest Senior Sister said calmly, showing no emotion.

"Senior Fairy and the others are probably going to die once. I'll leave them in your company; I won't wait around."

"Oh."

A short while later, a miracle occurred: Fairy Eternity and her companions were resurrected, returning to the World of the Living.

"Fortunately, I had prepared in advance and used the Playing Dead Technique."

Fairy Eternity and her companions felt relieved, having avoided a shattered Dao heart.

Lu Yang felt that even if you three lose your Dao heart, it wouldn't matter.

"Second-in-command, how are you doing? Are you injured?"

"Um, I didn't fight with Eldest Senior Sister." Lu Yang felt the need to stand firm in his stance, not to follow Fairy Eternity's whims anymore.

"Then did Miss Yun hit you?"

"No." If Yun Zhi had made a move, Lu Yang would have been lying down alongside Fairy Eternity and the others.

Fairy Eternity clapped her hands: "Then you managed a draw as well."

"Who would have thought we could fight to a draw with Miss Yun. Let's keep pushing forward!"

Lu Yang: "..."

Your concept of a draw seems a bit too broad, doesn't it, Fairy?

He then pointed at the Third Boss, who was frozen in ice: "It wasn't all draws; the Third Boss lost."

Fairy Eternity waved her hand: "No problem, just kick him out of the Immortal Lineage, as if he never joined the battle."

"I've been thinking, the preparation for this battle was too hasty. Next time, we should make proper preparations in advance." Fairy Eternity began to reflect, determined not to make the same mistake twice in the same spot.

Lu Yang wondered if he was preparing his burial site in advance.

His tomb inscription would read, "Heavenly Court Young Sect Master died in the Heavenly Court's internal strife."

"Right, we didn't call the Little Medicinal Kings this time!" Fairy Eternity remembered a group of key combatants.

The fighting power of the Little Medicinal Kings was not to be underestimated.

"Let's go, off to the medicine garden," Fairy Eternity urged Lu Yang.

"What about the Third Boss?"

"Forget about him, the ice will melt on its own."

Lu Yang took the two Junior Sisters to the medicine garden.

At the entrance of the medicine garden, Uncle Ba dozed off, pondering how to instruct his newly accepted disciple, Zhou Xing'er.

It had been so long since he last taught, he had forgotten how to instruct.

"How did Martial Nephew Yun originally teach Little Lu? I remember starting with playing with a big jar?"

Just as Lu Yang arrived at the entrance of the medicine garden, he heard Uncle Ba reminiscing about past events he'd rather not remember.

"Oh, it's Little Lu..." Uncle Ba opened his eyes and upon seeing Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi standing behind Lu Yang, he was so frightened that he tumbled off his rocking chair.

Why were the Dragon and Phoenix Ancestors here?

"You've met Elder Lianyi before, so I won't introduce her. This is Elder Ao Ling, who is also part of our Heavenly Court Sect," Lu Yang said.

Uncle Ba recalled the news that had come from the East Sea, his expression peculiar.

He was very curious to know what kind of enchantment potion Lu Yang had conjured to first deceive the Phoenix Ancestor into joining the Heavenly Court Sect and then the Long Clan.

"The three of us want to stroll in the medicine garden, is that alright?" Lu Yang said with more confidence than before, backed by two Semi-Immortals.

"Are you picking herbs?"

"No, just going in to chat with the Little Medicinal Kings."

"Then go on in."

At that time, the Immortal Herbs were being cultivated in the most spiritually fortified area of the medicine garden.

"I'm telling you, don't think you're something special just because you came first. We Little Medicinal Kings are judged by age, understand? By age!" the Immortal Herbs said commandingly to the ginseng babies.

The ginseng babies were born after ancient times, thus younger than the Immortal Herbs in terms of age.

But the ginseng babies clearly didn't accept this hierarchy. They moved their leaves and roots, sneering, "Attack, let it witness the supremacy of strength!"

The Little Medicinal Kings swarmed over, either with leaf slaps or root whips, battering the Immortal Herbs into whining miserably.

When Lu Yang and his group arrived at the medicine garden, they just happened to witness this scene.

Lu Yang didn't know whether he should intervene to stop all this or wait until the Little Medicinal Kings were done before showing himself.

Soon, Lu Yang didn't have to ponder anymore. The tall Enlightenment Tree King saw Lu Yang and company and pulled apart the Little Medicinal Kings and the Immortal Herbs.

"You have arrived, human race boy?" the ginseng babies greeted with their roots.

"What 'human race boy'? This here is the Immortal Lineage Second Boss; show some respect, you little medicinal kids!" Fairy Eternity burst forth to flaunt her authority.

"You, who are you!" The Immortal Herbs, seeing Fairy Eternity for the first time, were stuttering in fright, overwhelmed by her presence.

"Hmph, this Immortal is the first of the Five Ancient Immortals, Master of the Heavenly Court—Fairy Eternity!"

"An Immortal?" The Immortal Herbs were stunned, finding it hard to believe that an Immortal was dwelling within Lu Yang.

No wonder Lu Yang had such formidable fighting capabilities; they must all be the result of the Immortal's tutelage.

"This Immortal has come today with two of the Four Imperial Protectors to visit you and to deliver some good news!"

"What's the good news, what's the good news?" The three-inch-tall Little Medicinal Kings jumped around Lu Yang excitedly, welcoming Fairy Eternity's inspection.

"Just now the four of us battled with Miss Yun and ended in a tie," Fairy Eternity said.

"A tie, how impressive!" The Little Medicinal Kings looked up to Fairy Eternity with admiration, their eyes full of longing.

"This Immortal thinks that if we bring you along next time, it might change the outcome of the battle. Are you willing to join the fight?"

"We are willing!" The Little Medicinal Kings shouted in unison.

Fairy Eternity nodded, pleased with the Little Medicinal Kings' response. Their readiness alone was a step up from the Third Boss.
