Chapter 975 -974: Sharing Wealth and Woe Together

After sending the averagely skilled Yingtian Immortal back to the Fairy Palace, Lu Yang’s cultivation entered the right track as he dedicated himself to training.

An hour later, a treacherous scoundrel caused trouble, disrupting Lu Yang’s cultivation plan.

“Old Lu, I heard you went to the Fairy Palace?”

“What do you think, envious, huh?” Lu Yang boasted with a snort, which irritated Meng Jingzhou to the point of itching teeth.

Since the power of the sun had increased, he had become more and more reluctant to approach women. For him, places like the Laurel Fairy Palace were essentially forbidden.

Meng Jingzhou hadn’t expected Lu Yang to vanish before his eyes all of a sudden and only upon inquiring did he learn that Lu Yang had abandoned him to enjoy himself at the Fairy Palace.

Unable to bear seeing Lu Yang fall into such depravity, Meng Jingzhou scolded loudly, trying to awaken his indulged friend, “Envious, my ass. We cultivators should dedicate ourselves to cultivation. Wandering around and idling about like you do every day, you’ll surely end up accomplishing nothing!”

“And what have you cultivated this past month?”

“Almost there. During the month you were away, I went to a secret realm that opens every three hundred years. Accidentally, I encountered Long Huo. From the slightest clues, I guessed that the spirit of the secret realm was indeed its master and foiled his possession plan. Though his realm was higher than mine, I naturally restrain soul bodies. After challenging him beyond my level, I teamed up with Long Huo and captured him.”

“Then I handed this soul over to the local government office for processing. While waiting for the local government to commend me, I discovered that they seemed extremely efficient, almost too eager to send me away. After some covert investigations, it turned out that the local government was involved in corruption and colluding with the Ruthless Sect. Following the leads, I uncovered that the source was the Governor.”

“Seeing his plot exposed, the Governor fled in a hurry that night. It began to rain heavily, and I chased him hundreds of miles through the rainy night. Along the way, I killed several dead soldiers sent by the Governor, disregarded the honey trap set by his people, and finally caught him at a city gate by dawn.”

“I looked up only to realize that, unknowingly, I had chased the Governor all the way to Imperial City. After dealing with the Governor, I took the opportunity to go home for a meal and upon returning, I heard you had also returned from the Fairy Palace.”

“…When did you actually cultivate this month?”

Meng Jingzhou seriously said, “At least I always had the intention to cultivate. It was just that mundane affairs kept getting in the way, leaving no opportunity to actually do so.”

“I did too!” Lu Yang roared, infuriated—wasn’t he also entangled in mundane affairs?

“You did nothing.”

“Old Meng, let me tell you, you’d better speak politely to me. It’s not too late to fawn over me now, for soon it’ll be too late.”

Meng Jingzhou scoffed at Lu Yang’s statement, “Fawn over you? In your dreams.”

“You don’t know, but this time at the Fairy Palace, I met not only the Great Qian Cultivators, but also the Yingtian Immortal. When Yingtian Immortal saw me, he was very grateful. He patted my shoulder, encouraging me to cultivate well, saying he would definitely take good care of me when it’s time for my Transcending Heavenly Tribulation.”

“What?!” Meng Jingzhou was especially surprised, for in his absence, Lu Yang had indeed gained such an opportunity.

Cultivators dread nothing more than facing a Heavenly Tribulation. Even Qin Haoran, strong as he was, perished in such tribulation, reincarnated as Junior Brother Li. With Lu Yang having a connection like the Yingtian Immortal, wouldn’t his future cultivation be unobstructed, soaring to the skies?

Meng Jingzhou diligently massaged Lu Yang’s shoulders and head, his tone gentle, “Old Lu, ah no, Senior Brother Lu, I was a bit harsh earlier. Please forgive me, look at our relationship…”

Now a prominent figure in the Great Bean Dynasty, Lu Yang was not one to stoop to Meng Jingzhou’s level, “Our relationship goes without saying. We share our fortunes and face our troubles together. Don’t worry. When I meet the Yingtian Immortal Elder again, I will surely ask him to look after you as well.”

Meng Jingzhou was deeply moved, “Good brother, truly righteous!”

“By the way, on my way back, I also heard that you went to the Fairy Palace, and several high-ranking members and disciples there got pregnant. Everyone’s saying it was your doing. Do you know about this?”

“Bullshit!” Lu Yang became frantic, purely a rumor. What did this have to do with him? They got pregnant for drinking from the Twin River; what did he do except suggesting a few ideas to the Fairy Palace.

“…Wait, come to think of it, this actually does have something to do with me.”

Upon hearing this, Meng Jingzhou’s hands, which were massaging Lu Yang’s shoulders, suddenly changed to gripping them, and he flung Lu Yang away in a fit of rage, glaring intensely.

“Well, Old Lu, I didn’t expect I misjudged you, for you to do something so despicable! Show me what you’ve got, today I must teach you a good lesson!”

“No, I mean, I just suggested they drink from Twin River… ”

A golden Swastika Fist Seal descended, ten feet in size, Lu Yang used his finger as a sword to sever the Fist Seal, “Damn it, Old Meng, you’re pretending not to hear on purpose… ”

“Lewd thief, take this!”

“Just in time for you to witness the supreme Pure Yang Dharma Aspect I learned from our ancestor!”

Slowly, behind Meng Jingzhou, a golden Dharma Aspect like a rising sun emerged, towering a hundred feet high, its features blurred, each movement imbued with an ancient aura, one hand holding a shield, the other a spear.

“Supreme Pure Yang Dharma Aspect?” Lu Yang had heard of Pure Yang Dharma Aspect, an aspect only possessable by a Pure Yang Immortal Body. It seemed Meng Junzi had tailored for Meng Jingzhou an even more extreme Dharma Aspect than the Pure Yang Dharma Aspect.

Boom!

The Dharma Aspect’s arm fell, sending Lu Yang flying.

Lu Yang was certain now. This was definitely a more powerful Dharma Aspect than the Pure Yang Dharma Aspect, stronger than what Fairy Eternity had described.

“I’m not scared of you!” Lu Yang drew out his Green Peak Sword, employed the Extinguishing Immortal Sword Array, and aimed the sword tip at Meng Jingzhou.

Meng Jingzhou had anticipated this move, went on the offensive, and lunged at Lu Yang.

By doing so, even if he had to kneel, he could still tackle Lu Yang with the Dharma Aspect.

Lu Yang inwardly cursed Meng Jingzhou’s slyness, changing his sword skill, “Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Origin!”

Inheriting Shadow Sword, Seven Star Sword Set, and Green Peak Sword merged, sword Qi surged, the supreme Pure Yang Dharma Aspect guarded with the shield while the other hand, holding the spear, attacked Lu Yang.

“Universe in Palm!”

A massive hand came down, capturing the Supreme Pure Yang Dharma Aspect. Meng Jingzhou seeing this, employed Three Heads and Six Arms, and the Dharma Aspect also transformed into Three Heads and Six Arms.

Six overlapping hands of the Dharma Aspect blocked this tremendously terrifying palm.

“Is that all you’ve got?”

“That’s plenty to deal with you!”

The two tangled in combat, interchanging sword skills, magic skills, and Dharma Aspects rapidly.

Not far away, Yun Mengmeng sat on a tree branch, swinging her long legs, clearly in a good mood, occasionally picking up a chip from a paper bag and crunching away.

With her fingers covered in potato chip crumbs, she pointed at the battling Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, “Shouldn’t we stop them from fighting like this?”

Yun Zhi sat next to Yun Mengmeng, also picked a chip, and slowly savored it in her mouth, “No need to stop them, they’re always like this.”

Yun Mengmeng then asked Gan Tian sitting on her left, “Do you want some chips?”

“No thanks, watching them like this, I’ll play some music to boost their spirits.”

Gan Tian placed the guqin on her lap, and a spirited musical piece rang out at the top of Sky Gate Mountain, making Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou fight even more fiercely.

Seeing Gan Tian’s hands were occupied, Yun Mengmeng occasionally fed her a potato chip.
