Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

T̲r̲a̲n̲s̲l̲a̲t̲e̲d̲ ̲B̲y̲ ̲Y̲i̲k̲a̲i̲i̲

She frowned slightly, looking very attractive.

This was the first time Lu Yang had seen Everlasting Fairy in action. The strike seemed casual but was profoundly skilled.

To Lu Yang, that strike demonstrated Everlasting Fairy’s precise control over her power, with not a bit of strength wasted.

It was important to note that Everlasting Fairy was using Lu Yang’s clone, which only had eighty percent of his power.

Lu Yang could also kill that Golden Core Stage beast in one strike, but not with the same finesse. He would waste a lot more power.

Swish—

The red silk ribbon moved like a dragon in the sea, each strike taking down a Golden Core Stage opponent.

In the blink of an eye, it had already cut down two Golden Core Stage beasts and one Golden Core Stage cultivator.

If there was an attack, Everlasting Fairy could control the red silk to protect herself, with no marks left on the ribbon from the blows.

The red silk ribbon was on the same level as the immortal treasures obtained from the Undying Sect. It could not be damaged by a Golden Core Stage opponent, not even by one at the Unity Stage.

“Who are you!” Mu Tian Grass shouted, alarmed by Everlasting Fairy’s frequent attacks. Just moments ago, the situation was under control, and Lu Yang was as good as dead. Now, there was a sudden twist!

Mu Tian Grass had clearly seen Lu Yang use a clone technique, creating another Lu Yang.

But why did the clone’s appearance change, transforming into a woman? And why was the woman’s demeanor so different from Lu Yang’s?

Was Lu Yang schizophrenic, or was there another reason?

Mu Tian Grass couldn’t figure it out.

Everlasting Fairy sneered at Mu Tian Grass’s question, showing disdain. “A mere sentient weed, controlling a group of stinking corpses, dares to ask who I am?”

“I’ve killed countless beings like you before I became an immortal!”

“Such arrogance! You’re just two Foundation Building Stage cultivators. Everyone, attack together!” Mu Tian Grass, enraged by Everlasting Fairy, barked orders. The red silk strike had not surpassed the Foundation Building Stage, meaning its opponent was just another Foundation Building Stage cultivator.

There were seventy Golden Core Stage beings here. They couldn’t lose to two Foundation Building Stage cultivators, could they?

The disparity in levels and numbers was insurmountable.

Everlasting Fairy faced the swarm of Golden Core Stage beings without fear, as if she were accustomed to such situations.

The red silk ribbon flew out with a swish, wrapping around the attacking beast Lu Shu. Despite the Lu Shu’s fierce struggles, it couldn’t break free.

Everlasting Fairy held the other end of the red silk and violently slammed the Lu Shu to the ground. The impact caused the ground to shake slightly.

Other Golden Core Stage beings attacked from all directions, aiming to destroy this Lu Yang clone!

Everlasting Fairy used the bound Lu Shu like a flail, swinging it around like a meteor hammer. With each powerful blow, any Golden Core Stage hit was either killed or seriously injured, with broken limbs that even Mu Tian Grass couldn’t control back into action.

However, as more Golden Core Stage beings surrounded her, the red silk ribbon’s movements became increasingly restricted, preventing it from freely striking down enemies.

Everlasting Fairy immediately switched tactics, discarding the now crushed Lu Shu and wrapping the red silk around her body.

This clone wasn’t as strong as Lu Yang’s original body and couldn’t withstand the upcoming intense close combat without the red silk’s protection.

A Golden Core Stage body cultivator charged at her, and Everlasting Fairy’s eyebrows arched. She slapped his face with a single powerful palm strike.

“Ha!”

With a delicate yet forceful shout, Everlasting Fairy increased the power of her palm strike, swinging downwards and slamming the Golden Core Stage body cultivator into the ground.

“Roar—”

Beasts and humans attacked in unison. Everlasting Fairy stepped forward with her left foot, setting up her stance.

“Fairy Fist!”

Her delicate fists rained down like a storm. Though they looked graceful, the power behind them was terrifying, giving the illusion that one was facing not fists, but torrents of unstoppable rivers.

The Fairy Fist was so fast it created afterimages, each punch precisely targeting the Golden Core Stage cultivators’ dantians, severing their connection with the Mu Tian Grass.

“If you were all late Golden Core Stage, this body wouldn’t be able to handle it. Unfortunately, you’re not.”

Most of these Golden Core Stage cultivators were in the early or mid stages, with late-stage cultivators being the minority.

Lu Yang was captivated by Everlasting Fairy’s fist technique. This was the second time he had witnessed the Fairy Fist.

The first time was when Yellow Bean had thrashed Everlasting Celestial. As the third-in-command of the Everlasting lineage, Everlasting Celestial was naturally suppressed by Everlasting Fairy.

Back then, no matter what move Yellow Bean used, it could suppress Everlasting Celestial, so the true profundity of the Fairy Fist was not evident.

But this time was different. Everlasting Fairy was facing opponents a whole major realm higher, and in this situation, Lu Yang could immediately see that the Fairy Fist was undoubtedly one of the top fist techniques in the world, with boundless mysteries.

With his current abilities, even understanding the basics of this fist technique was challenging.

But that didn’t stop Lu Yang from trying to comprehend it.

“So that’s it. In battle, one must pay attention to the distribution of power and the rhythm of the fight. It’s not about how heavy the punches are…” Lu Yang mused, starting to grasp some initial insights.

“Lu Yang, be careful! Some Golden Core Stage cultivators are coming your way!”

“I see them!”

Lu Yang had anticipated this. It was impossible for over seventy Golden Core Stage cultivators to attack Everlasting Fairy all at once. If they did, their attacks would collide with each other before even reaching her.

Moreover, Mu Tian Grass couldn’t control so many cultivators simultaneously. It hadn’t fully matured yet, and its limit was controlling ten Golden Core Stage cultivators. If they were all late-stage, that number would drop to eight.

Currently, four to six Golden Core Stage cultivators were attacking Everlasting Fairy at once, with others on standby. If Everlasting Fairy took down or knocked away one, a new Golden Core Stage cultivator would replace them.

Mu Tian Grass had a clear goal: bypass Everlasting Fairy and swarm Lu Yang.

After the earlier incident, Lu Yang had seized the opportunity to recover his strength and was no longer afraid of these Golden Core Stage cultivators.

He channeled his sword energy into Qingfeng Sword, making it less flamboyant than before.

“Come!”

Mu Tian Grass controlled the Golden Core Stage cultivators, initially unconcerned. But as soon as they clashed, it realized that Lu Yang was now completely different from before.

Although it seemed like the Qingfeng Sword held no sword energy, each clash with a Golden Core Stage cultivator made the sword energy surge, catching the Mu Tian Grass off guard. When the Mu Tian Grass prepared to withstand the sword energy, it would vanish, leaving it struggling in vain!

Lu Yang had somehow advanced in his control of power within a short time!

Though this control was still unrefined, it was undeniably on another level!

This couldn’t continue. The Mu Tian Grass needed a quick resolution; delay would bring unforeseen changes!

Unaware of the Mu Tian Grass’s decision, Lu Yang once again entered that earlier state—seeing a fog before him, with an indistinct halo of light beyond.

“Hmm?”

Everlasting Fairy noticed Lu Yang’s change and blinked in surprise.
