Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 1040 - 1039: Senior Brothers Meet

As soon as Ye Zijin spoke, he inwardly cursed his misfortune. Ever since he had formed the Yin Yang Golden Core, he had been plagued by this issue, which persisted even after his core had broken to reach Nascent, transformed into a primordial spirit, and unified in the Body Integration Realm.

Of course, this also had to do with his personality, but not significantly.

Because of his knack for shocking statements, he had drawn much envy and not a few had shouted to kill him. Luckily, he was fast on his feet, which is why he had survived thus far.

He came to Buddha Country to train, and although he wouldn’t mention other skills, his ability to escape had visibly improved; even his master, at the Mid Integration Stage, was not as fast as him.

But against someone in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, was being fast still useful?

No, no, he shouldn’t think like that. Since the other party was a venerable senior, surely he wouldn’t stoop to quarrel with a junior... right?

"Senior?" Ye Zijin tentatively called out.

"What’s wrong?" Master Ming Huai looked up, his expression normal, showing no sign of peculiarity.

Ye Zijin breathed a sigh of relief. Worthy of being a senior, his temperament was unlike those of the elders.

He calmly stood up and picked up a broom.

Crack.

Master Ming Huai hadn’t controlled his strength well and had broken the broom that had been used for over a thousand years.

Upon seeing this, Ye Zijin turned and fled. If he didn’t run now, it would be too late!

Watching Ye Zijin flee into the distance, Master Ming Huai took two deep breaths. He was a dignified Great Cultivator in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. It wasn’t worth it to quarrel over such a trivial matter with a junior; he was a dignified Great Cultivator in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. It wasn’t worth it to quarrel over such a trivial matter with a junior...

"Ye Zijin, don’t run!"

Master Ming Huai yelled at the top of his lungs, and immediately seven or eight formidable figures flew out of the Western Paradise Temple, all at the Body Integration Realm.

"Where is Ye Zijin?"

"There, chase him!"

Upon hearing the news about Ye Zijin, numerous elders appeared, some even foregoing their meditation. The commotion was much bigger than when they had invited Lu Yang to Western Paradise Temple on New Year’s Eve.

The entire Western Paradise Temple was brightly lit and engulfed by the aura of Integration. Maintaining his dignity, Master Ming Huai, having called out, did not make a move.

Abbot Master Ming Yu was revisiting a chess game: "So it was this move that was wrong. I was too eager to win at chess, made my move too hastily. It seems that what Master Ming Huai said was right, my Mind State still needs polishing."

He then heard Master Ming Huai’s shout, his face showing a rare expression. He seemed never to have seen his junior brother so flustered before.

Ye Zijin’s escape technique was unrivaled in the world, far surpassing that of Lu Yang.

"Ye Zijin, I’ll see where you can escape to!" Elder Kong Chan shouted thunderously, throwing out a Golden Bell, which echoed a sound, capable of immobilizing.

Ye Zijin, like an eel, used his Daoist magic to create ripples in space, making it impossible to immobilize this area.

"Suppress!" Elder Kong Xing deployed the Demon Suppression Seal, which had suppressed countless major demons. When the Meng Family had come to Buddha Country in search of the Ruthless Sect half a year ago, a Ruthless Sect Elder had been suppressed by the Demon Suppression Seal, which was truly terrifying.

"Sky Opening Seal!" Ye Zijin deployed the Sky Opening Seal, a technique he had derived from Daoist Buyu’s "Sword Opens Heaven’s Gate."

The two imprints collided in mid-air, perfectly neutralizing each other with no excess energy spilling out.

"Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Scripture!" Behind Elder Kong Li appeared the Dharma Images of two Arhats, who tried to strike down Ye Zijin like squashing a mouse. Ye Zijin moved through spaces, sometimes below ground, and was basically uncatchable.

But here, in the stronghold of the Western Paradise Temple, surrounded by many, Ye Zijin was in a tough spot.

Faced with a dire situation, Ye Zijin resolutely acted: "Sky Opening Seal!"

Boom—

The Sky Opening Seal collapsed, exploding into thick fog, but when the fog cleared, there were unexpectedly two Kong Xing Elders!

"You are the fake one, Demon Suppression Seal!"

"No, you are the fake one, Demon Suppression Seal!"

Both of them had unbelievably casted the exact same Demon Suppression Seal!

Seeing this, Elder Kong Xing became furious, unleashing a variety of attacks, and so did the other Kong Xing Elder. They used identical tactics, making it impossible to distinguish between the real and the fake, and the Elders didn’t know how to proceed.

"I don’t believe you know how to chant sutras!" Elder Kong Xing’s lips trembled as he quickly chanted the Ksitigarbha Sutra, and the other Kong Xing Elder did so as well.

"Junior Brother Kong Xing, take out your Ruyi Buddha Beads!" Kong Chan shouted.

Elder Kong Xing hurriedly took out his Ruyi Buddha Beads.

Seeing this, the face of the other Kong Xing Elder changed dramatically, "Ye Zijin, you stole my beads in the chaos just now!"

Elder Kong Xing bellowed, looking like a furious Vajra, "Nonsense, these are clearly my beads. Ye Zijin, you still want to argue? What are all you senior and junior brothers waiting for!"

The Elders surged forward, and Elder Kong Xing took the opportunity to sneak away from behind.

"Damn it, we’ve been tricked!"

Suddenly realizing they had apprehended the wrong person as the one holding the Ruyi Buddha Beads ran away, the Elders finally understood they had caught the wrong one.

"Haha, and you thought you could catch me?" Ye Zijin revealed his true form, threw the Ruyi Buddha Beads to distract Elder Kong Xing, and made his escape.

"Damn it, he got away again!", the Elders seethed with frustration, helpless, as Ye Zijin always managed to escape from their grasp, even in their stronghold of the Western Paradise Temple.

...

"Is that Senior Brother Two?" Within the realm of the Green Blade Sword Small World, Lu Yang had even heard the voice of Master Ming Huai.

Having witnessed the altercation between the Elders and Senior Brother Two, Lu Yang knew that during the New Year’s Eve, the Elders had not gone all out.

Seeing Senior Brother Two escape successfully, Lu Yang decided to meet with him.

Ye Zijin might be hard to trace, but even the hardest to trace could not escape the Immortal Fairy’s immortal sense.

"You three stay put." Lu Yang warned the venerable Qing Yan and the others before leaving with Immortal Fairy.

After Lu Yang left, Mo Xiaochou was itching to move, seeing it as a perfect chance to escape, "Shall we run together?"

The venerable Qing Yan gave Mo Xiaochou a look, wondering how such a foolish person had managed to reach the Divinity Transformation Stage, "Do you really think you have the means to escape from an Immortal?"

The higher your cultivation level, the more you comprehend the terrifying nature of Immortals, an existence that can hardly be contended with, and facing an Immortal, the best strategy is to do exactly as they instruct.

Considering Lu Yang’s relationship with the Immortal, his words equivalent to the will of the Immortal, they dared not disobey.

Mo Xiaochou also came to realize, dared not harbor any more thoughts of escaping, and obediently waited in the Small World.

"Senior Brother Two?" Lu Yang stealthily moved through the night and found Ye Zijin hiding in the shadows.

"Who?!" Ye Zijin was startled, became extremely vigilant, incredulous at how he was found when he had hidden so well. Had a Transcendance Tribulation Stage acted?

"It’s me, Lu Yang." Lu Yang whispered.

Only then did Ye Zijin see Lu Yang clearly. He had only seen portraits, never the person, and was unexpectedly more handsome than his portraits.

"Lu Yang, my Junior Brother, is it really you?" Happy to meet the Junior Brother he had never encountered, Ye Zijin was delighted.

"I’ve seen your portrait, and you look even better in person!"
