Who Let Him Cultivate?!

At least he needed to kill some Golden Core Stage cultivators first to save face for Eldest Senior Sister.

“Attack!”

At Herbal Celestial Grass’s command, both the human and demon race Golden Core Stage creatures set up a roar and launched their attacks together.

These Golden Core Stage cultivators were obscured by mud, and their original appearances couldn’t be seen.

One person was wielding a golden wheel, its fast rotation scraping off large chunks of flesh.

Another held a bowl of an unknown era, a bowl with a chip in it, like the kind used by street beggars.

A demon beast spread its wings and rose into the air, uttering a crane’s cry.

Lu Yang recalled from his recently purchased “Forest Manual” that there was a late-stage Golden Core white crane deep in the forest, which had a tendency to revert to the mythic power of an ancestral bird and had claimed the lives of several late-stage Golden Core cultivators.

Another demon beast had the appearance of a tiger or leopard, with five tails, horns on its head, and its cries sounded like the knocking of stones.

Lu Yang connected this description with that in the “Forest Manual”: “A mid-stage Golden Core ancient demon beast, Zheng.”

Another demon beast looked like a horse, with grey-black eyes and no whites, its cry sounding like a human singing.

“A mid-stage Golden Core ancient demon beast, Lushu.”

“With so many demon beasts at your disposal, you’re still not satisfied and want me?”

Lu Yang laughed, unmoved in the face of encircling enemies, “Such greed will not lead to a long journey on the road of cultivation.”

Fairy Eternity had repeatedly warned Lu Yang that cultivators should not be excessively greedy. Greed can offer momentary pleasure, but it won’t help one journey far on the path of cultivation.

“No need for the dead to worry.” Herbal Celestial Grass didn’t take Lu Yang’s warning to heart.

During their conversation, a golden wheel was thrown out. As it spun, occasional flashes of lightning sliced a ravine into the ground.

Boom—

The Green Peak Sword appeared out of nowhere, blocking the golden wheel.

Unexpectedly, the golden wheel split into two, circumventing the Green Peak Sword and rushing towards Lu Yang.

Lu Yang continuously retreated as the golden wheel relentlessly pursued him. Regardless of whether he shifted left or right, the golden wheel would track him, nearly grazing him several times.

When Lu Yang used the Green Peak Sword to block again, the golden wheel split into four, maintaining its speed.

“It seems that as long as it clashes with the golden wheel, the number of golden wheels increases, and it can track me as well.”

Lu Yang quickly analyzed the characteristics of the golden wheel, finding it to be quite challenging.

“Shorten Space!”

Lu Yang shrank into the ground. The golden wheel hit the ground and could no longer move.

Just when Lu Yang wanted to take a breath and find an opportunity to escape, a beam of light pierced through the thick mud and shone on him.

Lu Yang couldn’t move his body, he was immobilized by the beam of light and pulled out of the ground.

Looking up, Lu Yang saw it was the broken bowl.

As Lu Yang was immobilized, countless demon beasts seized the opportunity to pounce on him, trying to tear him to pieces.

“It seems to be a immobilizing magic artifact.”

With a thought, Lu Yang called forth Sword Qi that shot up into the sky, sweeping in all directions and overturning the ground, temporarily repelling the surrounding demon beasts.

The Sword Qi morphed again, swooping upwards to strike at the broken bowl.

The Sword Qi soared into the sky, continuously shifting, as if locked in a standoff with the broken bowl. Suddenly, the Sword Qi magnified, becoming dazzlingly brilliant, and it cut a notch in the bowl’s base.

Light emitted from the palm of the owner of the broken bowl, continuous strikes were made, with flashes of lightning appearing intermittently. Lu Yang countered with Arhat Fist.

The sound of a crane’s cry echoed, emanating from above Lu Yang’s head. The white crane dived, its beak sharp as a heavenly sword, aiming to skewer Lu Yang.

“Green Peak Sword, go!”

While clashing palms with the Tavern Keeper, Lu Yang mentally controlled his Green Peak Sword, warding off the attack from above.

Spreading his Spiritual Sense, Lu Yang discovered countless humans and demon beasts ready to strike, preparing to deal him a lethal blow.

These attacks wouldn’t kill him, but they were enough to deliver a severe blow.

As the battle intensified, Lu Yang gained some insight. It was as if there was a halo in front of him, obscured by heavy fog and not entirely visible.

Just as Lu Yang was trying to dispel the fog for a clear view, a demon beast attacked.

The beast scraped the ground with its four hooves, using its horn to ram into Lu Yang.

Although Lu Yang countered by severing the beast’s horn with his Green Peak Sword, he was injured in the process. His waist was hit by the horn, and blood flowed freely.

Casually, Lu Yang swallowed an elixir, stopping the bleeding.

A Lushu, a type of demon beast, descended from the sky. Its four hooves were like four large millstones, determined to crush Lu Yang to death.

Lu Yang adopted the stance of supporting heaven, clashing forcibly with the Lushu. The Lushu was sent flying by his palms, but Lu Yang was far from unscathed. He felt a sharp pain in both arms, as if they were falling apart.

After continuous attacks, Lu Yang’s condition deteriorated. He didn’t even have the chance to take an elixir, and the fog between him and the halo thickened.

“How can someone in the late Foundation Establishment stage withstand so many fatal moves from the Golden Core Stage? I really want to taste what you are made of.” Herbal Celestial Grass became more impressed with Lu Yang.

The stronger Lu Yang became, the stronger Herbal Celestial Grass would become after devouring him.

Spiritual Plants rarely develop spiritual knowledge. But once they do, they have the potential to reach the heavens!

“Damn it, it’s just a broken grass, how dare it bully the second-in-command of the Eternity lineage! Does it really think that Fairy Eternity has no temper?” Fairy Eternity saw Lu Yang injured, and was both anxious and angry.

“Lu Yang, give me a wooden avatar made from Twin Lotus. It will be more effective than the Bodi tree seed!”

At these words, Lu Yang paused slightly, his eyes lit up, and he nodded, retreating into the ground.

“Trying to retreat into the ground again? It’s useless!” Herbal Celestial Grass thought that Lu Yang was using the same old trick, trying to escape by shrinking the earth.

Lu Yang quickly took out a Twin Lotus seed and activated the “Tree-Planting Sutra”.

A lotus broke out of the ground, on its leaves stood two Lu Yangs—one was Lu Yang’s original body, the other a clone made of lotus root.

“Exactly this, exactly this!” Herbal Celestial Grass was thrilled to see Lu Yang execute the Clone technique—it was the skill it long desired for.

“A technique that even I, as a fairy, can’t learn, and you, a raggedy grass, also want to learn?” The lotus root Lu Yang chuckled mockingly at Herbal Celestial Grass’s arrogance.

Lotus root Lu Yang moved a little, deciding that he preferred his original appearance.

She snapped her fingers like she was undertaking a transformation. The outside turned into tender lotus petals and, as the petals fell one by one, Fairy Eternity’s true form was revealed.

The usually smiley girl changed her demeanor. Looking at the dark mass of humans and demon beasts, she scowled, feeling quite unhappy.

“A bunch of filth, touching you will dirty my hands. Lu Yang, hand me my cloth, it can barely be used as a weapon.”

The cloth, both strong and rustic, was an excellent weapon that could withstand the test of time.

As Fairy Eternity spoke, she gathered her hair into a knot, so it wouldn’t get dirty during the fight.

Lu Yang took out a piece of red ribbon from his Identity Jade and handed it to Fairy Eternity.

Fairy Eternity held the red ribbon, a nostalgic look in her eyes. With a flick of her hand, the ribbon seemed to come alive—it was as red as fire, long as a dragon, and fluttered lightly.

“Go!”

Fairy Eternity seized one end of the red ribbon, throwing it forward. The other end of the ribbon, sharp as an iron whip, divided the beast in two.

“Your ancestors didn’t dare to breathe in front of me, yet you dare to harm Lu Yang?”
