Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 448: Great Elder: Have I not seen everything in the world?

Lu Yang's mental space was bustling with activity, hosting five powerful figures: an ancient immortal, three cultivators at the Tribulation Crossing stage, and one Golden Elixir stage expert.

Lu Yang wondered if his mental space was getting a bit too crowded.

Moreover, despite it being his mental space, the room was decorated by the Immortal Fairy in a pink and delicate style, which hardly seemed fitting for a grown man.

At this moment, the Immortal Fairy, as the mistress of the mental space, was lecturing the three prisoners.

"You three better behave yourselves. This place is under my control. This kid named Lu Yang is the second-in-command of the Immortal lineage and is under my protection. Treat him as you would treat me, got it?"

The Immortal Fairy, hands on her hips, looked like a spoiled young lady from a wealthy family.

Wu Youdao and the others, despite being at the Tribulation Crossing stage and having enjoyed endless wealth and luxury, were now kneeling in this cramped mental space, listening to her scolding. Especially Wu Youdao, who had once been the sixth emperor of Great Yu and the second strongest among all emperors, now found himself in such a humiliating position.

The three exchanged bitter glances, even Wu Youdao had lost his former pride.

They were simply outmatched; there was nothing they could do about it.

Moreover, who exactly was this Supreme Heavenly Venerable?

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't match the Immortal Fairy with any of the ancient four immortals.

Lu Yang felt at ease as he exited his mental space. With the Immortal Fairy around, the three Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

She could suppress three of them at the same level, let alone now that she was a whole realm higher.

Outside, Sect Master Lu was alive and well, and everyone was overjoyed. Qiu Jin'an and Governor Lu were still lamenting their failure to capture Wu Youdao and the other two, completely unaware that the three were imprisoned in Lu Yang's mind.

"It's a pity we couldn't capture Wu Youdao and the other two. It would have been a great achievement."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Don't be ungrateful. The power of the nation's fate and Hanshui City being intact is already extremely fortunate."

Lu Yang had pondered why the Immortal Fairy didn't capture the three on the spot and hand them over to Qiu Jin'an, but instead went through the trouble of pretending to let them escape and then capturing them back into his mental space.

There could be three reasons: one, Qiu Jin'an and the others might not have been able to contain the three Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators. Two, it could have exposed the Immortal Fairy's identity. Three, it was better to keep the benefits within the Seek Tao Sect rather than giving them to Governor Lu and Qiu Jin'an, as it could be exchanged for contribution points.

Considering the Immortal Fairy's personality, she probably only considered the third point.

Qiu Jin'an noticed Meng Jingzhou in the crowd and called him over, "I told you before when I borrowed your body that in exchange, I would teach you a Five Elements spell. When you have time, come to the Five Elements Sect to learn it."

Originally, Qiu Jin'an had planned to borrow Meng Jingzhou's body to punch Old Ba and then take Meng Jingzhou away to fulfill his promise. However, unforeseen events like karmic backlash, the trip to the Wild State, and the Great Yu cultivators' conspiracy kept him busy until now.

With the battle over, there were still many things to clean up, such as the lingering ghost problems in the city, checking for hidden Great Yu cultivators, and calming the populace. Qiu Jin'an had to stay temporarily to help Governor Lu.

During the recent battle, the Immortal Fairy had displayed her divine power, destroying the Yin Corpse Mountain Range and the headquarters of the Corpse Driving Sect, along with the accumulated yin energy of tens of thousands of years.

However, with Lu Baqian, a half-baked Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator, the Corpse Driving Sect would soon recover its former glory.

From a linguistic perspective, "half-step Tribulation Crossing stage" and "half-baked Tribulation Crossing stage" essentially mean the same thing.

With Meng Jingzhou's karmic backlash resolved and the mission to the Wild State accomplished, Lu Yang and his companions bid farewell to Zhao Po and boarded a carriage back to the Seek Tao Sect.

Before leaving, a powerful figure arrived in Hanshui City, followed by a large contingent of elite soldiers, all at the Golden Elixir stage, flying in the sky.

These were troops stationed at the border between Great Xia and the Golden Buddha Kingdom. The leader was an old general at the Tribulation Crossing stage. When the "rules" were broken, he immediately sensed the anomaly in Hanshui City and dispatched his troops there.

But they were a step too late; the Immortal Fairy had already resolved the situation quietly.

"With so many people around earlier, I didn't dare ask, but was it the Immortal Fairy inside you who acted?" Meng Jingzhou finally couldn't contain his curiosity and asked after holding it in for the entire journey.

Meng Jingzhou, Man Gu, and the old horse had all witnessed how Lu Yang revived the Immortal Fairy.

With no outsiders around, Lu Yang nodded, "Yes, it was her."

Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu gasped. They had seen how the Immortal Fairy, with the power of the early Tribulation Crossing stage, had beaten Wu Youdao and the others like children.

Invincible at the same level.

Meng Jingzhou hadn't expected the Immortal Fairy's combat power to be so formidable. He looked at Lu Yang with envy, thinking that having an immortal as a guide must be the reason for Lu Yang's terrifying combat prowess.

"Not only did she deal with those three Great Yu cultivators, but she also captured their souls and put them in my mind!" Lu Yang pointed to his head.

Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu were about to gasp again when the carriage suddenly shook violently.

The old horse, usually calm, was now using space magic, its four legs moving rapidly as it ran, eager to reach the Seek Tao Sect as soon as possible.

The old horse couldn't afford to be slow; it was scared. The carriage didn't just carry three Golden Elixir stage youngsters but also the souls of three Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators. It had to hurry back.

Thanks to the old horse's desperate sprint, the three of them returned to the Seek Tao Sect in the shortest time possible, and the old horse finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling safe.

"You two go ahead. I need to visit the mission hall and report this to Senior Brother Dai," Lu Yang said, bidding farewell to Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu before heading to the mission hall.

At the mission hall, Lu Yang politely asked the senior sister at the front desk.

This senior sister knew Lu Yang; they had sparred before.

"Sister Tang, is Senior Brother Dai here? I have some findings from my trip that I need to report to him."

"Senior Brother Dai isn't here, but the Great Elder is. You can report to him."

Lu Yang remembered that Senior Brother Dai was temporarily managing the mission hall in place of the Great Elder, who was the actual person in charge.

"Alright."

"Before he left, Senior Brother Dai said that if you had anything important, you could go straight in."

Lu Yang nodded, thanked Sister Tang, and walked into the depths of the mission hall.

...

The Great Elder, who had returned to the mission hall after a long time, was sorting through various intelligence reports, assessing mission levels and dangers, and predicting future trends.

"Sigh, Little Dai doesn't know how to consider an old man's feelings," the Great Elder lamented, rubbing his eyes and reclining in his chair to rest.

"Great Elder, are you there?" Lu Yang's voice came from the door.

"It's Lu Yang, come in," the Great Elder straightened up, mindful of his appearance.

He remembered what Dai Bufan had told him before leaving.

"Master, be careful of Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou when you're at the mission hall. If they report something, it's bound to be significant. Don't be surprised."

The Great Elder had laughed it off, thinking it was nothing. He knew what Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had been up to— infiltrating the Immortal Sect, resolving the Immortal Sect, establishing the Heavenly Court Sect, and deceiving the Jiuyou Sect.

Little Dai was still too young and hadn't seen much of the world. Such things wouldn't surprise him.

As a half-step Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator, the strongest below the Tribulation Crossing stage, he had seen it all and could handle anything.

"Lu Yang, I heard from the others that you went to the Wild State. Now that you're back, what's the matter?" The Great Elder sipped his tea leisurely, exuding calmness.

"Well, I captured three Tribulation Crossing stage souls in the Wild State, and they're now imprisoned in my mind."

"Pfft—"

The second update will be at eleven o'clock.
