Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 1016 - 1015: Immortal Lineage Battles the Four Imperial Protectors of the Heavenly Court

"Provocation, or something else?" Ao Ling’s words gave Lu Yang new insights.

"The fact that they dare not show themselves means that the user of the Time Dao Fruit is weaker than the Immortal receiving the message, and it’s very likely that the two are mortal enemies."

"Who could the Immortal receiving the message be? The Mid-heaven Emperor Lord?"

"The Mid-heaven Emperor Lord and his cohort have always been collecting the Four Immortal Fruits to open the box of the world and venture into the outside world; among all the Immortals, the forces of Great Qian are probably the most eager to get their hands on the Time Dao Fruit."

"Or could it be that the user of the Time Dao Fruit is calling out to the mastermind behind the scenes?"

At this point, Lu Yang’s expression became gravely serious. If that were the case, then the identity of the Time Dao Fruit user was nearly revealed.

However, everything was just speculation, and there was no concrete evidence.

"Speaking of which, it has been quite a while since I tested my strength against the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit. Junior Sister Mengmeng, how about we spar a little?" Ao Ling looked at Yun Mengmeng, licked her lips, and her eyes showed her eagerness to try.

Ao Ling was a battle fanatic. Otherwise, she would not have condensed a Dao Fruit Outline that grows stronger with every hit she takes.

When Fairy Eternity was still a Semi-Immortal, Ao Ling had already sparred with her and knew well the power of the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit. Now that there was a suitable opponent, of course she wanted to test her strength.

"Shall we try?" Yun Mengmeng, with her thin skin, was too embarrassed to refuse Ao Ling’s request.

"Since you two want to fight, why don’t we invite one more person?" Immortal Fairy always loved a lively scene.

"Invite one more person?" Ao Ling wondered who else they should call.

"Wait up." Immortal Fairy concentrated, summoning Sha Meless, who was chanting Buddhist scriptures to the livestock at the slaughterhouse.

Sha Meless’s body flew uncontrollably towards Sky Gate Mountain, knowing that it was Chief Housekeeper summoning him.

"Chief Housekeeper."

"Let me introduce you. This is our Immortal Lineage’s Fourth Housekeeper," said Immortal Fairy to Jin Caiwei, the only person present who didn’t know Sha Meless.

"Fourth Housekeeper, after such a long contemplation on the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit, you must have gained some insights," Immortal Fairy said, clearly valuing Sha Meless’s progress.

Hearing the high regard from the Chief Housekeeper, Sha Meless smiled sheepishly. Indeed, ever since he started receiving guidance from the Chief Housekeeper, he had practiced diligently, and his mastery over the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit had greatly improved.

"It’s just some cultivation observations," he modestly replied.

"Then it’s a perfect opportunity to show everyone. Go and practice with Lianyi," said the Chief Housekeeper.

"Oh," Sha Meless subconsciously nodded obediently, then suddenly realized what the Chief Housekeeper meant.

"Ah?"

Jiang Lianyi smiled. It had been a long time since she had faced off against the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit. Indeed, it was an opportunity.

"Look how perfect this is. We have the Immortal Lineage’s Third and Fourth Housekeepers facing off against the two Heavenly Kings of our Heavenly Court Sect," said Immortal Fairy, very pleased with her arrangement.

From the expressions of some people, Lu Yang sensed that the Fourth Housekeeper was not very satisfied with the arrangement of the Immortal Fairy.

"Come on, everyone, let’s fight inside Little Yang’s sword," said Immortal Fairy, playing the role of organizer and calling everyone together.

Battles between Semi-Immortals can only take place in locales like Small Worlds; a direct confrontation on Sky Gate Mountain would reduce it to flat land in moments.

Lu Yang took out the Green Peak Sword and invited everyone into the Small World.

The Small World within the Green Peak Sword was as lush and verdant as ever; the last owner, Wu Yao, was clearly an Immortal with taste.

"A Small World within the sword, eh?" Jin Caiwei had not expected Lu Yang to not only possess an Immortal Sword but for it to also contain a Small World. This was a portable Small World, far more valuable than those static Secret Realms.

And here she was, a Semi-Immortal with nothing to her name.

"Senior Sister Ao Ling, please enlighten me!" Yun Mengmeng bowed with clasped fists, her posture impeccable, a result of her grandmother’s teachings from a young age.

"Elder Lianyi, please enlighten me!" Sha Meless understood the ancient rites quite well and there was not a single fault to be found.

Boom——

Yun Mengmeng and Sha Meless heeded Fairy Eternity’s teachings and took the initiative right from the start of the battle by self-detonating, creating a massive impact. The entire Small World felt a slight tremor. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

In the midst of the self-detonation’s smoke, the cries of dragons and phoenixes pierced through the heavens, dispelling the dense fog.

The black dragon and golden phoenix soared in the sky, like the embodiment of yin and yang, together in perfect harmony. It is said that the appearance of the dragon and phoenix brings auspiciousness, and this was truly such a moment.

Facing their Semi-Immortal opponents, Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi did not dare to delay and directly transformed into their Dragon Phoenix True Forms.

"Again!"

Facing Ao Ling’s True Dragon form, Yun Mengmeng showed no fear and self-detonated once more, not giving Ao Ling any time to catch his breath.

Sha Meless grew somewhat afraid when facing Jiang Lianyi. He still existed in ghostly form, without a physical body, while Jiang Lianyi, as an Ancient Ancestor of the Phoenix Tribe, was the most powerful being of the Phoenixes. With just a slight flap of her wings, endless seas of Nirvana True Flame would emerge, which was especially terrifying.

This was the pure Yang fire, his nemesis!

However, Sha Meless had no other choice; fleeing was out of the question.

Then fight!

Sha Meless’s gaze solidified, and his thoughts transformed in a mere instant, also beginning a series of continuous self-detonations!

Four Semi-Immortals engaged in intense battle within the Small World, causing it to quake like an earthquake. Rivers flowed backward, mountains shifted places, and Lu Yang watched as his well-kept Small World was quickly turned into ruins, which distressed him greatly.

At this moment, Lu Yang understood very well why Great Xia mandated the cleaning up of the aftermath of battles between Great Powers.

"Not bad, the fight." Fairy Eternity looked up at the four battling Semi-Immortals and seemed quite satisfied.

It is only through battle that one can gain experience and enhance the understanding of the Dao Fruit Outline.

"But it still feels like something’s missing." Fairy Eternity glanced and saw Jin Caiwei standing alone, having a sudden realization.

"I know, Little Tiger hasn’t found an opponent yet. Little Yang, why don’t you train with Little Tiger? Your Art of Body Refining just had some breakthroughs."

Now, there was one more person who wasn’t very satisfied with Fairy’s arrangement.

"Me?"

Jin Caiwei was still looking up at the sky watching the battle, and didn’t immediately grasp what Fairy Eternity meant. After realizing the great news, she couldn’t help but show a smile.

No, no, can’t smile.

Realizing she was smiling, she quickly forced herself to suppress the smile, not wanting to show her feelings too obviously.

"It would indeed be somewhat difficult for you alone, but you have Immortal me, right?"

"The two of us combined can’t beat a Little Tiger?"

Seeing Lu Yang still worried, Fairy Eternity had to analyze the forces of both sides for him to reassure him to fight with peace of mind.

"Look, isn’t our Immortal Lineage averaging Semi-Immortal strength? The three of them, as the Four Imperial Protectors of Heavenly Court, also average Semi-Immortal strength."

"It’s a battle of Semi-Immortal forces against Semi-Immortal forces, quite fair."

"Then Fairy, what can you do to help me?"

"I can wave flags and cheer for you, provide you with moral support!"

"..."

Fairy, I kindly resurrected you, why would you do this to me?

According to unofficial historical records, the Grand Minister Lu Yang, under the pretense that His Majesty was too young to understand court politics, held power over the imperial court, causing chaos in the government, and monopolizing authority. His Majesty, under the guise of leisure and play, ordered the three Great Generals to eliminate the Grand Minister and his affiliates.
