The Immortal Fairy: I'll Cultivate for You
A month and a half passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, the Central Continent was unusually lively. City-level competitions and state-level competitions were held, and all the geniuses of the Great Xia Dynasty gathered on the arena to compete against each other. Unexpected upsets frequently occurred, and many unknown cultivators made a name for themselves, leaving those who knew them dumbfounded.
Even disciples carefully nurtured and given high hopes by top-tier sects can be defeated by unknown junior cultivators.
The day for the Ask Dao Sect's celebration arrived quickly.
For the past month and a half, the Immortal Fairy has been running rampant in the Ask Dao Sect, with Lu Yang aiding and abetting her evil deeds; the two have colluded in the same evil.
In the cave abode at Heaven Gate Peak, two Lu Yang sat in the cave abode, one reviewing official documents and the other sleeping; both were very busy.
"Just hang in there a little longer, it'll be over after the celebration!" Lu Yang encouraged himself while reviewing official documents. As the celebration approached, he held in his hand the list of outstanding young talents from various states, as well as representatives of various forces attending the celebration.
He is currently using the Tree Planting Technique to create a wooden clone, while the sleeping being is the immortal fairy who has successfully possessed his body.
"Fairy, are you sure you're helping me cultivate?"
Perhaps the Immortal Fairy had a change of heart and realized that repeatedly possessing Lu Yang's body was wrong and was taking up his cultivation time, so she offered to help Lu Yang cultivate.
Since everyone uses the same body, it doesn't matter who cultivates.
Then the immortal fairy continued to sleep.
"Ha--" The Immortal Fairy was woken up by Lu Yang, yawned widely, and looked at Lu Yang with dissatisfaction.
"Of course I am cultivating. This is the Sleep Cultivation Method, which is based on the same principle as when I sleep to restore my cultivation. It is a supreme cultivation method that only immortals know. You, a mere mortal, naturally cannot understand its mysteries."
Lu Yang thought to himself, "Didn't you immortals reach the pinnacle of cultivation? What's the use of this sleeping cultivation method?"
The acting Sect Master was too powerful, and Lu Yang had no way to control the Immortal Fairy, so he could only continue reviewing official documents.
"This is the Ask Dao Sect! How magnificent!"
Standing before the gate of the Ask Dao Sect, Mingtai gazed upon the endless mountains behind the gate and the spiritual energy permeating every pore of his body, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
He represented the Sword Tower in the competition and successfully made it to the finals, entering the Ask Dao Sect together with the elders.
The Ask Dao Sect is far more extravagant than their Sword Tower.
Mingtai's actions went unnoticed by others. Many disciples who participated in the finals, as well as the forces behind them, were shocked by the arrogance of the Ask Dao Sect when they first saw it.
If the spiritual energy at the mountain gate is so abundant, what kind of scenery must unfold inside?
"Mingtai, let's go." Elder Jianlou walked ahead, gesturing for Mingtai to follow.
Elder Jianlou was not visiting the Ask Dao Sect for the first time. Without needing guidance, he easily navigated the bamboo forest and arrived at the core of the Ask Dao Sect, the main venue for this celebration.
The main venue includes Heaven Gate Peak, the eight Elder Peaks, and the commercial street, making it the most bustling and vibrant place in the Ask Dao Sect.
"The Ask Dao Sect has put in a lot of effort." Elder Jianlou stroked his beard and nodded. It was clear that the Ask Dao Sect was taking this celebration seriously. A clearing was set up at the foot of Heaven Gate Peak, and an altar made entirely of white jade was erected. Three tall statues stood on the altar, covered with red cloth.
The altar was set with sacrificial vessels and offerings, including tripods, gui vessels, dou vessels, zun vessels, hu vessels, jue vessels, small jue vessels, candlesticks, incense burners, wine trays, chime bells, and chime stones, all arranged according to the highest rules of sacrificial rites.
Several disciples of the Ask Dao Sect around the altar, and they were forbidden from approaching it before the ceremony began.
There were also some sacrificial items and props used in sacrificial rituals that looked very ancient, and even he couldn't identify them.
"It's like a barbarian ancestral worship ceremony, but much more complex."
As one of the oldest branches of the human race, the barbarian tribes have inherited High Antiquity. Their ancestral worship rituals have always been regarded by the world as the most accurate representation of High Antiquity ancestral worship rituals. Many scholars have come to the barbarian tribes to study these rituals and deduce a part of High Antiquity history from them.
What Elder Jianlou couldn't recognize was the scene Lu Yang had the Immortal Fairy recall when High Antiquity clans held ancestral and immortal worship ceremonies.
Although the Immortal Fairy is unreliable in her actions, her memory is reliable. She easily restored the High Antiquity sacrificial process, making it absolutely authentic.
The ancient and more orthodox gathering of immortals could also be recreated by the immortal fairies, but this plan was rejected by Lu Yang.
"Elder Sikong, it's been a long time."
When Elder Jianlou heard someone call his name, the voice sounded familiar. He turned around and saw that it was Lu Baqian, the Sect Master the Corpse Driving Sect who had recently been making waves. The people following behind him should be the disciples of the Corpse Driving Sect who were participating in the finals.
"So it's Sect Master Lu." Elder Sikong raised his hand in greeting, his movements free and simple, consistent with the style of a sword cultivator.
"Greetings, Sect Master Lu." Mingtai followed suit.
"Haha, how did you know I've advanced to the Tribulation Transcendence stage?" Lu Baqian laughed heartily, his eyes practically disappearing from his smile.
Elder Sikong: "..."
"Brother Sikong, it seems you've been neglecting your cultivation, as you haven't yet advanced to the Tribulation Transcendence stage."
Lu Baqian, as the first among his peers to advance to the Tribulation Transcendence stage, is now showing off everywhere. To make matters worse, his cultivation level is exceptionally high, and no one can defeat him.
Elder Sikong silently gripped the hilt of his sword at his waist, hesitated for a moment, and did not draw it.
"Is this a disciple of the Sword Pavilion?" Lu Baqian had finished showing off when he finally noticed Mingtai's presence.
"Such an outstanding one, who has inherited the mantle of the Supreme One." Elder Sikong's expression softened slightly when he spoke of Mingtai, for Mingtai was the pride of the Sword Tower.
"The supreme mantle?" Lu Baqian exclaimed in a low voice, his pupils shrinking slightly, clearly taken aback.
Those in the Body Integration Realm can be called True Lord, those in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage can be called Venerables, and those in the Half-Immortal Stage can be called Supremes.
This guy named Mingtai actually inherited the mantle of the Sword Tower Supreme?
The Sword Tower Supreme was a half-immortal in the art of swordsmanship, but unfortunately he perished midway through his journey and was unable to become an immortal. The mantle he left behind was too demanding, and no one was qualified to inherit it. He thought he would never see anyone inherit the Sword Tower Supreme's mantle in his lifetime, but unexpectedly he did.
Sword Tower has kept this well hidden, finding such an outstanding successor without making a sound. If it weren't for this conference, Sword Tower probably wouldn't have been willing to bring Mingtai out.
"Zhao Po, an outstanding disciple of our Corpse-Driving Sect."
Without Huang Ming as an exception, Zhao Po was the true number one young talent in the Corpse Driving Sect. In addition, the battle in Hanshui City greatly helped him gain experience. After Lu Baqian broke through to the Tribulation Transcendence stage, he also personally guided him, enabling him to make a comprehensive leap.
"Alright, I'll chat with Sect Master. You juniors can go have some fun." Elder Sikong waved his hand. He always felt uncomfortable putting on airs when the juniors were around.
"Hello Zhao Po, my name is Mingtai. Are you a disciple of the Corpse Driving Sect?" Mingtai smiled brightly, clearly an optimistic, cheerful, and eloquent person.
So you were involved in the Hanshui City incident?
The Hanshui City Incident was the largest battle in nearly a century, involving three Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators, and even more so, an unparalleled Heavenly Venerable capable of suppressing three Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators. It attracted much attention from the outside world, and some people have already compiled the Battle of Hanshui City into a storytelling performance, which is widely circulated among the people. Mingtai often went to teahouses to listen to the storytelling.
How could it not be exciting to meet someone who personally experienced the Battle of Hanshui City here?
Zhao Po nodded. "Yes, when the battle broke out over Hanshui City, I was with Senior Brother Lu Yang at the Governor's Mansion, so we were the closest people to the battle."
"You still know Senior Brother Lu Yang?" Mingtai's eyes lit up, and his tone rose several degrees, even more excited than before.
What's the most popular thing at the teahouse? It's <The Ask Dao Sect - Lu Yang Chapter>!
The second update will be at 11 PM.
