Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 793 - : 792

Chapter 793: 792

Ancient young prodigy and modern young prodigy faced each other, both filled with fighting spirit, ready for battle.

“The natural talent of Sect Master Lu is the highest I have ever seen. Even though Seek Dao Sect has Vast Sea Daoist Lord, a Semi-Immortal, the pond is still too small to nurture a True Dragon.”

“Our Heavenly Court welcomes the wise and virtuous. Should you be interested, you might consider joining us. There will certainly be a place for a Saint Heir for you.”

“Oh? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll take the place of your Young Sect Master?”

Young Master Lu laughed heartily, “The strong are revered; this is an unchanging truth through the ages. If you can defeat me and lead the Heavenly Court to its former glory in the Great Era, why not give you the position of Young Sect Master?”

People secretly admired him in their hearts, not in vain was he the one sitting in the position of Young Sect Master; his magnanimity far surpassed that of his peers.

Lu Yang simply shook his head, “I appreciate Young Master Lu’s kind intentions, but Seek Dao Sect has granted me great kindness and nurturing. If I were to abandon it and disregard everything, I would be no better than a scoundrel.”

“That’s a shame,” Young Master Lu genuinely invited Lu Yang to join the Heavenly Court. With Lu Yang joining, he felt confident that it would significantly increase their chances of winning in the future Great Era’s conflicts.

Unfortunately, it meant they could only battle.

Even Young Master Lu, with his unparalleled talent, did not dare to hold back against Lu Yang. Seven long swords floated vertically around him, protected by the words “Tian Shu,” “Tian Xuan,” “Tian Ji,” etc., engraved on the hilt, indicating the origin of these seven swords.

“That’s the legendary Seven-star Sword Set!” The Clan Leader of the Ao Clan recognized the origin of these seven swords and exclaimed in shock.

“What is the Seven-star Sword Set?” Most people had never heard of the Seven-star Sword Set.

The Ao Clan Leader spoke solemnly, “In Ancient Times, there was a Sword Cultivator named Liu Ningxuan, peerless in both the zither and sword, and was the most powerful Sword Cultivator of that era. His talent was comparable with the Venerate of the Great Xia’s Sword Tower.”

“Our clan had an ancestor who cultivated to the peak of Transcendance Tribulation, and yet, he was slain by a single sword strike from Liu Ningxuan!”

Everyone gasped. The Ao Clan was known for its defensive strength. Someone at the peak of Transcendance Tribulation certainly had an unquestionably powerful defense. Yet, he was slain by Liu Ningxuan?

“Liu Ningxuan was an expert in the Unification with the sword; when united with the sword, it reached an ultimate height. With one strike, all below an Immortal were doomed to certain death!”

“Everyone thought he would cultivate to become a Semi-Immortal or even an Immortal. Sadly, after a battle, he disappeared and was never seen again. Some say he was trapped in the Immortal Realm and unable to leave, others say he died.”

“The Seven-star Sword Set were Liu Ningxuan’s swords!”

“That’s right, this would be a scandal for the Qilin Immortal, why would he allow it to be passed down to later generations.”

“Array, activate!”

With the words ‘Array, activate!’ spoken, the sword array came into motion, collapsing and overwhelming everything in its path, destroying and obliterating as if tearing the heavens and earth apart.

With a thump, even Lu Yang couldn’t withstand the oppressive force of the sword array and knelt on the ground.

He looked up determinedly at the sword array without any hint of submission, withdrawing the Sword Washing Pool.

“One Sword Becomes Ten Thousand!”

Lu Yang, guided by his sword intent, transformed myriad Sword Washing Pools that covered the sky and loomed like dark clouds before a torrential downpour, containing the might of the heavens and the earth.

Just when everyone thought that Lu Yang was going to lose, his action stunned them all.

“What is this technique?!”

“Didn’t he just say it? One Sword Becomes Ten Thousand.”

“But there are no swords.”

“Perhaps Lu Yang’s understanding of Sword Dao has reached the realm where he believes the heart contains a sword, and anything could be a sword! After coming to the East Sea, it was said that he defeated more than a dozen Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators with just this technique!”

“Right, right, right, I also heard that this technique can even transform swords into physical forms, creating figures with three heads and six arms.”

Lu Yang, completely focused, paid no attention to what the outside world was saying about him. He was concentrated on the battle before him and lightly commanded:

“Go!”

The Sword Washing Pools fell like torrential rain, and just seeing this scene was absolutely terrifying.

The collision of two streams of Sword Dao unleashed a radiance unheard of before, making the heavens and earth tremble, the sea of clouds boil over, rising straight into the sky.

“Who won?”

The Sword Washing Pools and the Seven-star Swords lay scattered on the ground. Lu Yang and Young Sect Master Lu both propped up their bodies with their swords, kneeling on the ground, staring fiercely at one another. Although their spiritual essence was utterly drained, their eyes still burned with an unyielding fighting spirit.

“Enough, enough, let’s stop here.” Suddenly, Young Sect Master Lu burst into laughter. “If we keep fighting, we’ll have to rely on swallowing elixirs, which wouldn’t be fair to you. This battle is over.”

“Then it’s over.” Lu Yang agreed readily, knowing that continuing the fight, regardless of the outcome, would be meaningless.

The two exchanged smiles, feeling a sense of mutual respect for each other.

The seasoned cultivators in the Transcendance Tribulation Realm witnessing this scene sighed, “Indeed, as unparalleled geniuses, they rarely meet their match. Encountering an equally matched opponent is greatly beneficial for their future cultivation.”

Tao Yaoye felt that Lu Yang’s acting was even more convincing than Dream Mirage.

Man Gu, having witnessed the entire process, was shocked and felt that he could never learn such acting skill in his lifetime.

Lu Yang did not expect the Seven-star Sword Set to have such an origin.

He knew of Liu Ningxuan, the unparalleled expert in both the zither and sword, the one famed for his exceptional unity with the sword.

“Fairy, did you know about this?”

This caught Fairy Eternity off guard. She pondered seriously, then shook her head, “I don’t quite remember, that lad was fighting with a lot of flashy swords when he battled me, but I didn’t pay much attention to what the swords looked like. They all looked more or less the same, anyway.”

Young Master Lu grinned, holding Tian Shu Sword, “Speaking of which, our last fight was when we were at the Mid-stage Golden Core. Unexpectedly, more than a year has passed, and both of us have advanced to the Mid-stage Nascent Soul.”

Lu Yang remained silent, quietly drawing the Green Peak Sword.

Whoosh—

The sword light soared to the sky, cutting through the water, turning the area into a vacuum.

Two types of True Fire revived on the Green Peak Sword, transforming into golden divine birds with Sword Qi. The golden birds flapped their crimson wings, completely unaffected by the waters of the East Sea!

The Tian Shu Sword’s Qi was magnificent and proud, coming from Ancient Times, even purer and sharper. The other six Flying Swords looked like six Flood Dragons breaking free from their cages, each splitting the golden divine birds in two.

After the golden divine birds were split, they turned into two smaller golden divine birds, their intense heat undiminished!

“What kind of True Fire is this?”

Even with the wide experience of the cultivators from the East Sea, they had never seen this form of True Fire.

“It looks like the True Flame of the Golden Crow, but the problem is, I’ve never heard of any Golden Crow with just two legs?”

Even children who had not yet begun their cultivation had heard of the three-legged Golden Crow.

The two fought from the water to the sky, from the sky to the island, clashing for hundreds of rounds. Everywhere they went was left in ruins, and their display of combat strength shocked everyone present.

Is this the level one can achieve at the Mid-stage Nascent Soul?

These significant figures of the East Sea had been prodigies in their youth, with cultivation levels and battle might far surpassing their peers, yet none could match the prowess of Lu Yang and Young Master Lu.

Some ancestors at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage weighed in their hearts, feeling that they could barely reach this level.

“Wasn’t it said that Lu Yang is a magic cultivator? How has his Swordsmanship become so formidable, barely matching Young Master Lu?” asked an ancestor at the Body Integration Realm, puzzled.

In terms of Swordsmanship alone, Lu Yang was not an equal match for Young Master Lu. It was through his magic skill attacks that he managed to contend with Young Master Lu.

Another ancestor at the Body Integration Realm shook his head, “No, he is not just a magic cultivator. When I was in Great Xia seeking an Elixir, I heard that Lu Yang has a Sword Spirit Root, which is why he was taken as a disciple by Daoist Buyu!”

“He actually has a Sword Spirit Root?!” The surrounding people were alarmed, their pupils shaking.

Throughout ancient and modern times, never had there been a Sword Cultivator with such a peak talent in magic skills.

“Good, good, good, worthy of the opponent I have my eye on, I never expected that even after cultivating to the mid-stage Nascent Soul, you could still fight me on equal footing!” Young Sect Master Lu laughed heartily, having not experienced such a thrilling fight in a long time. Those who could battle him to a draw were, at the very least, in the late stages of Spirit Transformation.

With a flick of his wrist, the Tianxu Sword returned to the Seven-star Sword formation, and Young Sect Master Lu pointed towards the sky, causing the Seven-star Swords to form a grand Array Method.

“Sect Master Lu, try this move!”

Young Sect Master Lu extended two fingers and gently shook them, the sound of swords ringing incessantly. The Seven-star Sword formation appeared above Lu Yang’s head, its bright, sharp tips pointing downward.

“Sect Master Lu better be careful, this Array is called ‘One Sword Immortal Kneels,’ even the Qilin Immortal, who had become an Immortal, had to kneel before this sword array!”

The audience, upon hearing this ancient secret, became agitated, their voices uncontrollable.

“One Sword Immortal Kneels, what a domineering Array Method name!”

“The Qilin Immortal was defeated by this sword array?!”

“Who created this sword array? I’ve never heard about any Immortal from ancient times who was skilled in both swordsmanship and the Array Method.”

The people discussed fervently, having read through various ancient and modern books, but none had recorded this piece of history.

Li Haoran thought that if Qin Haoran had a mind like Lu Yang’s back then, Jiuyou Sect would have made a fortune by now.

Meng Jingzhou was considering whether, if he suddenly made a move, he could take out the exhausted Lu Yang and Young Sect Master Lu in one fell swoop and ascend to the position of Young Sect Master himself.
