Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

“Ying Tian Immortal then made up a story about being born in response to heaven, which sounded quite plausible.”

“When Qilin Immortal heard about him claiming to be born in response to heaven, he couldn’t stand it. The qilin is a cherished creature of heaven and earth, also considered a child of heaven, which conflicted with Ying Tian Immortal.”

“The two even fought over this, with Qilin Immortal accusing Ying Tian Immortal of being born via cesarean section, claiming his birth was anything but smooth, and that heaven didn’t even want him to be born.”

“Ying Tian Immortal retorted that Qilin Immortal was raised without manners by his mother. Of course, in a sense, Ying Tian Immortal was telling the truth.”

Lu Yang looked perplexed. Immortals are supposed to be noble figures, so how come they sound like hooligans when you talk about them?

“The two fought to a stalemate, and it was I who stepped in to mediate, saying why fight during the festivities? Come over for a meal at my place. I have some clout, and upon hearing this, they immediately stopped fighting.”

“The two became friends through fighting. After the fight, they figured, since they’re born from the same mother, why not become sworn brothers.”

Qiu Jin’an automatically ignored the part where Everlasting Fairy boasted about herself, thinking it was nonsense, and pressed on: “And then they became sworn brothers?”

“No, then they started fighting again over who would be the elder brother.”

Qiu Jin’an: “……”

He had heard long ago that Ying Tian Immortal and Qilin Immortal did not get along in the ancient times, often fighting fiercely. The reasons given varied widely, but the prevailing view was that there was a fundamental conflict over the Dao and the way of immortality, rooted in elusive yet profound theories that irreconcilably opposed each other.

The ancient texts also recorded that the two fought in the cosmos without restraint, erasing an entire area, where stars and spiritual energy disappeared.

And they fought over something like this?

This isn’t quite the ancient glory I had imagined.

On the stands, while the two sect masters were discussing ancient knowledge, the disciples from both sides began their competition on the martial arts field.

…

First to take the stage was the Dao Seeking Sect’s contestant—Meng Jingzhou, against the Five Elements Sect’s contestant—Du Xueyi.

This Du Xueyi contestant is no simple character. According to insiders from the Five Elements Sect, Du Xueyi possesses a golden spiritual root. His body has been tempered a thousand times and polished in every way, as hard as steel, and he has also mastered the Thunderous Fist technique. His iron fists are indestructible, swinging like the wind and pouring like rain.

Meng Jingzhou is even more remarkable. According to Sect Master Lu Yang, who wished to remain anonymous, Meng Jingzhou possesses a once-in-a-century single spiritual root, remains untainted despite frequenting brothels, and is admired for his indomitable spirit.

Interestingly, Meng Jingzhou is also a physical cultivator, and furthermore, he is a disciple of a well-known physical cultivator in the cultivation world, the Third Elder. It remains to be seen what kind of spectacular performance these two athletes will bring us today. Let’s wait and see.

The two contestants are now standing on the competition platform, facing each other—one with a haughty gaze, the other with a sleazy look. Du Xueyi seems a bit uncomfortable with his opponent’s sleazy gaze, losing the first round.

In their first encounter, Meng Jingzhou gained the upper hand with his shameless momentum!

The match is about to begin, and Meng Jingzhou approaches the referee. What is he doing?

He pulls out a top-grade spiritual stone. He’s actually trying to bribe the referee in broad daylight!

The referee refuses Meng Jingzhou’s bribe and gives him a yellow card warning!

Meng Jingzhou seems to misunderstand the referee’s action, thinking the referee wants to exchange the yellow card for Meng Jingzhou’s spiritual stone.

The referee took action! The referee made a move against Meng Jingzhou!

It seems the referee knew that he shouldn’t attack a contestant. He gave himself a red card and disqualified himself.

This match truly is full of twists and turns. Before it even started, we had to replace the referee!

Meng Jingzhou, not disheartened by his failure, persevered and even attempted to bribe Du Xueyi.

Du Xueyi, clearly unaccustomed to such a spectacle, appeared at a loss. Fortunately, Sect Master Qiu Jin’an’s gaze brought him back to his senses, and he firmly rejected Meng Jingzhou’s unreasonable request.

The new referee, seemingly more experienced, issued another yellow card warning to Meng Jingzhou.

Finally, Meng Jingzhou started the match in earnest.

As soon as the match began, Du Xueyi launched a series of attacks, his fists raining down like thunder, forcing Meng Jingzhou to retreat and scurry for cover.

Meng Jingzhou, you had it coming… Sorry, the commentator got a bit personal there. Please forgive me.

Meng Jingzhou seemed at a disadvantage, but he appeared to have sustained little damage. Instead, it was Du Xueyi who, after a series of Thunderous Fist techniques, was left gasping for air.

Seizing the opportunity while Du Xueyi caught his breath, Meng Jingzhou launched a fierce counterattack with the Third Elder’s signature move—Shake the Heavens Six Forms, taking the initiative!

Du Xueyi was caught off guard by Meng Jingzhou’s vigorous resistance, losing the initiative and being forced into a defensive position!

Meng Jingzhou, like a tiger descending the mountain, roared through the forests, his punches and palms fierce and powerful, splattering Du Xueyi with blood!

Despite being injured, Du Xueyi took a heavy punch from Meng Jingzhou, took the opportunity to retreat, and recover.

Meng Jingzhou pursued relentlessly, closing in for a powerful strike. Du Xueyi seemed to gradually adapt to Meng Jingzhou’s fighting style, their fists and feet colliding with a piercing sound!

Both fighters were fierce, at a standstill, neither able to overcome the other.

Meng Jingzhou was the first to break the deadlock. He stepped forward and collided his head with Du Xueyi’s!

An unexpected choice, could it be Meng Jingzhou practiced Iron Head Technique… wait, that’s not quite right!

The object that collided with Du Xueyi’s head was not Meng Jingzhou’s head but his hair curtain!

As a body cultivator, Meng Jingzhou had trained his hair to be as hard as his body! And hair doesn’t feel pain!

Brilliant strategy! Truly astonishing!

Du Xueyi was dazed by the headbutt, stumbling backward, exactly what Meng Jingzhou wanted!

Seizing the opportunity, Meng Jingzhou grabbed Du Xueyi’s clothes and threw him out!

Meng Jingzhou won the match!

Everlasting Fairy announced through the sound amplification array: “I declare, in the first round of the Foundation Building group, Meng Jingzhou wins.”

Then, in the spiritual space, Everlasting Fairy asked Lu Yang:

“What were you rambling about just now? What did you say?”
