Chapter 625: Senior Brother Dai, We Have Some Matters to Report

Lu Yang felt that what the Everlasting Immortal Fairy said made a lot of sense, but upon closer thought, he couldn’t help but feel that something was amiss.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy continued explaining the principles of the Unbeatable Nascent Soul. “The Unbeatable Nascent Soul is a part of you. Whatever techniques you know, it knows; whatever techniques you don’t know, it doesn’t either. The Unbeatable Nascent Soul can’t think—it only acts on instinct to make the optimal choices.

“The difference between you and it is that it can execute the most suitable technique at the most suitable opportunity with the most suitable amount of force, whereas you fall short in these aspects. In other words, the Unbeatable Nascent Soul is your peak state.

“If you wish to defeat the Unbeatable Nascent Soul, you must break through your limits and surpass your nascent soul in every way!”

“...Immortal Fairy, before we discuss this, could you please stop the nascent soul from hitting me?” Lu Yang was currently being pummeled by his nascent soul while listening to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s lecture, and he really couldn’t take it anymore!

“Use the power of your imagination and reconnect the thread you just severed.”

Lu Yang could only endure the beating while closing his eyes and imagining the threat reconnecting, reestablishing the link with the nascent soul. Only then did the Unbeatable Nascent Soul stop attacking and enter a dormant state.

Lu Yang looked at his nascent soul with lingering fear. If this hadn’t been in the mental space, I would have already been beaten black and blue, severely injured and unable to get up. “So other Nascent Soul cultivators can control their nascent soul to fight, but I can only fight on my own until I defeat the Unbeatable Nascent Soul?”

“You can’t exactly say that. Let me ask you, what is the definition of ‘Nascent Soul?’”

Lu Yang pondered for a bit. “Born in the dantian, shaped like an infant, composed of clear and turbid qi, possessing great power, and capable of taking over others’ bodies.”

“Immortals have infinite lifespans. I am only sixteen, no different from an infant. My soul is also composed of clear and turbid qi. My power goes without saying; it’s on par with Lass Yun’s. And I can also take over your body.

“By that definition, when I am in your dantian, I am your nascent soul.

“In other words, you have dual nascent souls. If I’m in a good mood, I can help you in battle.”

Lu Yang, “...”

Immortal Fairy, thanks so much for your kindness, but it’s still best for you to lie quietly in the mental space and don’t cause trouble for me.

“So this Unbeatable Nascent Soul is completely useless right now?”

“Not exactly. Even if you can’t defeat it, the Unbeatable Nascent Soul is a part of you, after all. If you die, it’ll also cease to exist. If you encounter an enemy you can’t defeat...”

“The Unbeatable Nascent Soul will help me solve it?” Lu Yang beamed.

“It will leave your body and quickly flee.”

Lu Yang, “...”

He rubbed his temples in agony, but he soon realized he was in soul form—rubbing his temples was useless.

Meng Jingzhou watched as Lu Yang immersed himself in studying the changes at the Nascent Soul Stage, feeling immensely envious and covetous. Lu Yang found the Phoenix Ancestor, stole the spotlight, and formed his nascent soul. Basically, I had just been a member of the audience in the Demon Region the entire time!

When Lu Yang opened his eyes and saw Meng Jingzhou’s indignant expression, he immediately guessed his thoughts and kindly comforted him, “Look on the bright side. Now that I’ve reached the Nascent Soul Stage, the title of strongest Golden Core cultivator falls to you. Doesn’t that make you feel much better?”

Meng Jingzhou nodded subconsciously, but he immediately realized something was wrong. “Screw that! Even when you were at the Golden Core Stage, I could still beat you!”

Lu Yang shook his head. “I don’t believe you, unless we fight right now. If you can defeat me, I’ll acknowledge you as the strongest Golden Core cultivator.”

“Where’s your shame?”

The two bickered noisily until they finally reached Great Xia's borders.

To enter Great Xia, one needed to have their identity verified and pass security checks to prevent anyone from carrying prohibited items. For instance, in the early days of Great Xia, when systems were incomplete, a certain cultivator had stolen a vast amount of seawater from the East Sea.

Hence, Jiang Lianyi decisively chose to cross the border illegally.

Her identity was too sensitive. If she was exposed at the border, she could easily imagine the chaotic scene. I’m afraid unrest will break out across the city, and all sorts of people will rush to see me as if I am a rare animal. I really hate that. Moreover, with my identity as one of the Heavenly Court’s Four Regents, if I appear with the Dao-Seeking Sect members, their identities will be exposed.

After smuggling across the border, Jiang Lianyi sped the rest of the way and successfully arrived at the Dao-Seeking Sect.

“Not a bad place,” Jiang Lianyi commented. The Dao-Seeking Sect occupies a vast territory, is protected by a Transcendent Tribulation-level Sect Defense Great Array, and overflows with spirit energy. It seems on par with the Phoenix Tribe’s strength.

With the five elders vouching for her, the River Spirit did not inspect Jiang Lianyi’s identity and allowed her entry.

Only after entering the sect was Jiang Lianyi truly astonished. Talents are as numerous as clouds; this far surpasses the Phoenix Tribe.

In ancient times, tribes were formed on the basis of blood ties, regardless of whether they were humans or demons. Sects only came into being after the end of the ancient era; Jiang Lianyi had never seen one.

Previously, when she listened to Lu Yang’s explanation, she hadn’t paid much mind to it. But now, seeing it for herself, she realized she had underestimated the concept of a sect.

Why did demons revere pure blood? It was ultimately because pure blood represented strength. Every race devoted itself to nurturing pure-blooded demons to bring out the potential in their bloodline.

On the other hand, sects focused not on bloodline but on talent, teaching according to individual aptitude and allowing them to excel in their own way. It was clearly much more than the demons’ approach.

“Little Dai is probably still waiting for our intelligence on the Demon Kingdom’s founding. Little Lu, Little Meng, you two understand the Demon Kingdom’s matters better; you go tell Little Dai.”

After entering the sect, the five elders eagerly sought out the other three elders to boast about their experiences in the Demon Region, telling them they had missed out big time for not going this time.

By the time Lu Yang returned to his senses, only he, Gan Tian, Meng Jingzhou, and Jiang Lianyi remained.

“Third Senior Sister, could you take Senior Lianyi to Heaven’s Gate Peak for a seat?”

“Alright.”

~~~

Lu Yang and Meng Jinghou entered the Great Mission Hall and found Dai Bufan’s office with familiarity.

The two often made outstanding contributions to upholding justice. Dai Bufan praised their character and conduct effusively and granted them special permission to see him directly without announcement.

Knock, knock, knock. Lu Yang politely rapped on the door.

“Come in.” Dai Bufan’s voice came from inside the room.

Dai Bufan was in a good mood. Diabolic activities had decreased recently, making his job much easier. He sat in his chair humming a tune.

Then, he saw Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou enter.

“Oh, it’s you two. We haven’t seen each other for over half a year, right? I heard Junior Sister Gan Tian invited you to the Demon Region. Calculating the time, you would have made it for the Demon Kingdom’s founding ceremony. Did you return after visiting the celebration? That’s pretty fast.”

He had been waiting for First Elder’s intelligence from the Demon Region. To his surprise, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had returned earlier than First Elder. Shifu and the others probably slacked off and had these two brats report to me.

“Yes, the two of us followed Third Senior Sister and learned much in the Demon Region. We also had some other gains. Earlier, First Elder told us to inform you about what happened in the Demon Region.”

Dai Bufan chuckled twice, not taking it to heart, and casually asked, “Then tell me, what did you see in the Demon Region? Did you see the legendary ancient Dijiang, Supreme Lord Zhu Tian?”

“We did.”

“How was it? Did he look impressive?”

Lu Yang reported truthfully, “Well, it was like this. I awakened the Phoenix Ancient Ancestor Jiang Lianyi and recruited her into the Heavenly Court Creed. Senior Lianyi and I attended the kingdom-founding ceremony, and she incidentally taught Senior Zhu Tian a lesson, engaging in a half-immortal battle. At the same time, six Transcendent Tribulation demon emperors joined the fight.”

Dai Bufan silently stood up, stepped aside, and gestured to his seat. “Here, Junior Brother Lu. From now on, you are the hall leader of the Great Mission Hall.”
