Chapter 179: Ancient Divine Art — Turning Beans into Soldiers
Obtaining the inheritance of an immortal is fraught with difficulties. One must be strong when faced with strength, fight more bravely as the battle progresses, and being unmatched in one’s tier is the most basic requirement.
In addition to this, one must also pass the tests of immortals and meet their various unreasonable demands.
Lu Yang had a deep understanding of this.
On the Martial Arts Square, Lu Yang was fought in turn by his senior brothers and sisters. In his spiritual space, Lu Yang was chasing the Everlasting Fairy, holding her accountable.
“Yellow Bean, stop right there! They are looking for you, why am I the one getting beaten!”
“I’ve already told you, this is the test of an immortal. I guarantee, as long as you can survive tonight safely, I will pass on to you a supreme divine art!”
“Learning a supreme divine art from you is not as good as learning from Eldest Senior Sister. Stop right there, today I’ll let you know what a mortal’s test is!”
“This is disrespectful to an immortal!”The Everlasting Fairy ran away as fast as she could, she couldn’t let Lu Yang catch up at any cost.
In reality, various masters paid great attention to Lu Yang, a prodigy capable of challenging those above his level, employing a strategy of successive battles, grinding him down over and over.
Lu Yang calmly explained, “Senior brothers and sisters, I feel there might be some misunderstandings between us. In fact, I have another powerful soul within me. The actions during the acting sect master period were all done by her occupying my body.”
The senior brothers and sisters sneered, not believing Lu Yang’s nonsense. Pretending to have split personalities now? Too late!
Although the senior brothers and sisters came for revenge, they didn’t all rush up at once. They were cultured people, rushing up all at once was the behavior of barbarians; they were civilized people, who lined up.
Below the stage, people conscientiously formed a long queue.
“Those in front, be quick with your moves. There are so many people waiting behind!”
As the strongest among the Five Great Immortal Sects, the Dao Seeking Sect’s strength was beyond doubt. The disciples it recruited were all geniuses and talents. These individuals, having cultivated to the Golden Core stage and beyond, had unique insights into combat styles, spiritual power circulation, and the sequence of technique releases.
Battling with these individuals was beneficial for rapidly enhancing combat experience, so that in the future, no matter what style of enemy one faces, one could handle it with ease.
This point could be confirmed by disciples of the Five Elements Sect, who greatly improved themselves through exchanges with Dao Seeking Sect disciples.
Outside, countless people wished to exchange experiences with Dao Seeking Sect disciples, envious of Lu Yang’s experience.
Lu Yang did not want to be the object of envy at all.
The intensity of the battles caused Meng Jingzhou, watching from below, to clap and cheer.
However, Lu Yang had to admit that fighting with his senior brothers and sisters helped him greatly, both in terms of combat experience and his own realm.
After being overwhelmingly defeated by his senior brothers and sisters using their unique skills, they would force-feed him precious medicinal pills like the Golden Essence Pill and the Breezy Rejuvenation Pill, as if they were free.
These medicinal pills allowed him to rapidly recover from his injuries, consolidate his foundation, and face the next battle in a fuller state.
Through repeated battles and consuming medicinal pills, Lu Yang’s realm steadily improved, which was worth celebrating.
He felt that he was only a thought away from breaking through to the middle stage of Foundation Building.
Moreover during the confrontations with his senior brothers and sisters, he was able to to look for flaws and solutions, for his Three Flavours True Fire, Shrinking Earth into Inches technique, and The Art of Tree Painting, making his use of techniques more proficient.
Perhaps this is the so-called great opportunity between life and death, Lu Yang’s potential was further brutally squeezed out.
For example, Lu Yang could exhale Three Flavours True Fire, burning only the insides of his opponents without harming the surface, further enhancing his control over fire.
He could freely adjust the spiciness, with levels including mildly spicy, medium spicy, extra spicy, and explosive spicy.
He could also freely adjust the saltiness, with options for light, normal salty, more salty, and extra salty, though it was still far from the saltiness level of the Everlasting Fairy.
For example, Lu Yang found in battle that he could combine the techniques of Shrinking Earth into Inches, and The Art of Tree Planting. By first shrinking the ground, then turning into inches, and finally using The Art of Tree Planting, he could grow three small Lu Yangs on the tree.
However, Lu Yang’s current spiritual power was weak, and he couldn’t control three of himself at the same time.
“Eh, a ginseng fruit?” The one battling Lu Yang was Senior Sister Yi Jing, who was surprised to see the bald little Lu Yang swaying on the bodhi tree, finding it quite cute.
“Could this be the origin of the legendary ginseng fruit?” A senior brother murmured. Ginseng fruit had always been a legend, never truly seen before.
One senior brother felt the comparison was too far-fetched: “If a technique could be mastered to the extent of Junior Brother Lu, it would be unique throughout the ages. Even if ginseng fruit is rare, it’s not as rare as Junior Brother Lu.”
Another senior brother said, “I also don’t think ginseng fruit comes about like this. I read in a wild history book that talked about the origin of ginseng fruit. It said that in ancient times, ginseng was rare, and there was a swindler who claimed to have ginseng. When people asked where the ginseng was found, he said it grew on trees, thus giving rise to the name ginseng fruit.”
“…Your wild history is really wild.”
“Does the book say who the swindler was?”
“It says his name was Ying Tian Immortal.”
Inside the spiritual space, the Everlasting Fairy ran too fast, outpacing Lu Yang by a whole lap, but eventually, Lu Yang caught her wrist.
“Finally caught you!” Lu Yang smiled warmly, his smile like that of a cultured rogue.
In reality, Lu Yang shouted “Hold on,” stopping a Spirit Transformation Stage senior brother who was about to make his move.
The Spirit Transformation Stage senior brother didn’t strike, wanting to see what Lu Yang intended to do.
Among the opponents challenging the Everlasting Fairy, including this Spirit Transformation Stage Senior Brother Wu, he was here for revenge, having queued for a long time, and it was finally his turn.
Lu Yang took a deep breath and said slowly, “Senior Brother Wu, I advise you not to push people too hard. If really pressed, I can do anything at any time!”
Senior Brother Wu wasn’t scared by Lu Yang’s threat, asking with a smile, “And how would you bully you? Do you perhaps have a fourth acting sect master experience coupon?”
Senior Brother Wu didn’t believe Lu Yang had another one. If he did, he would have used it long ago, not waiting until now.
“I don’t have an acting sect master experience coupon, but I have an ancient divine art that can kill all enemies. As fellow Dao Seeking Sect disciples, I do not wish to start a massacre within our sect!”
Senior Brother Wu didn’t believe Lu Yang possessed such a divine art and didn’t waste any more words, coming straight for him.
Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, Lu Yang had no choice but to use the technique he had just learned.
“Behold my ancient divine art—Turning Beans into Soldiers!”
Inside the spiritual space, Lu Yang forcibly handed over control of his body to Yellow Bean.
Turning Beans into Soldiers meant letting the Everlasting Fairy take his place in battle!
This technique was incredible; possessed by an immortal, utterly invincible. Such a move, even in ancient times, was considered a tremendous and forbidden technique!
The Everlasting Fairy, facing Senior Brother Wu’s attack, felt despair. With a Spirit Transformation Stage making a move, how could she possibly fight?
“Lu Yang, you have no reverence for immortals!”
Lu Yang sneered, reverence? That’s something I’ll consider after I survive tonight!
