Chapter 145: The Hidden Ancient Sect, Tianjia Sect!

Cui Jinjia realized she had lost her composure, hurriedly let go of her hand, and offered a rare apology.

Her face still carried heavy doubt: "You actually fused Spiritual Energy and Martial Qi together; don't they conflict with each other?"

"Spiritual Energy and Martial Qi cannot coexist; you can only use one of these powers. Aren't you afraid they will fight inside your body and blow you up?"

"Furthermore, you use the Five Elements energy in fusion; is there no principle of mutual generation and restriction among the Five Elements?"

What she spoke of was based on normal understanding and practical results.

More than one person has experimented with dual cultivation of spirit and martial arts.

The result for all these experimenters was without exception: they either exploded and died or their meridians were severed—they were either dead or crippled!

Those who managed to survive could not live for long either.

One can imagine how difficult it is to fuse two different energies within the body!

Cui Jinjia was suspicious from the start: Lu Tianyu fused Five Elements attribute energies, wouldn't they restrict each other and harm him?

The mutual restriction of these energies is no laughing matter.

She had seen with her own eyes a master artifact refiner forcibly fuse two materials of water and fire attributes, resulting in a furnace explosion that directly mangled the master artifact refiner's body.

If the master artifact refiner hadn't reacted quickly and escaped with their soul, it is estimated that this master artifact refiner would have had their soul completely destroyed.

Most importantly, Lu Tianyu spoke too casually!

He actually said he just fused Martial Qi and Spiritual Power, as if fusing two energies were as simple as eating or drinking water.

If this were said out loud, I am afraid no one would believe it; they would all think Lu Tianyu was bragging.

But Cui Jinjia believed Lu Tianyu, because she had seen it at the auction.

It was just that she did not understand how Lu Tianyu had fused them.

Lu Tianyu rubbed his nose: "Actually, I don't quite understand either; it must be that my constitution is special, and it just fused all at once."

He did not know how to explain it either; he couldn't exactly expose the secret of his Bahuang Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, could he?

All reasons were related to the forbidden artifact, the Bahuang Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron; he absolutely could not expose it.

Cui Jinjia rolled her eyes at Lu Tianyu: "Saying it like that is the same as saying nothing; if you don't want to tell me, just say so."

"I lost, so I am your Protector from now on; it doesn't matter if you don't tell me. Following you, I will know your secrets sooner or later."

"You must have obtained an opportunity in the Forbidden Abyss and just don't want to tell me."

She felt that being Lu Tianyu's Protector was not an injustice.

Being able to defeat her at the same cultivation realm was already quite remarkable.

Besides, a cultivator who can fuse the Five Elements together and also fuse Spiritual Energy and Martial Qi is very likely a cultivator with the legendary Chaos Spiritual Root.

The Chaos Spiritual Root is also known as the Void Spiritual Root; it can contain all attributes, and the speed of cultivation is extremely fast with no obstacles.

Furthermore, even if Lu Tianyu did not join her sect, as Lu Tianyu's Protector, she would indirectly pull Lu Tianyu in.

Cui Jinjia observed that Lu Tianyu was not the type of evil person, so he must value Causality and morality.

She acts as his Protector, and when Lu Tianyu grows up in the future, if her sect has trouble, Lu Tianyu will not ignore it.

Lu Tianyu chuckled: "I see you are somewhat reluctant."

"How about this, I won't let you be my Protector for nothing; I can agree to join your sect, and you can temporarily treat me as an Outer Sect Disciple!"

"But I must make it clear beforehand: you are not allowed to restrict my freedom."

"If I am fortunate enough to reach the Emperor Star Domain by my own ability, I will formally join your sect then."

He had adopted the suggestions of Dongfang Shu and Qing Yuan.

Entering Changheng Academy and joining a powerful sect do not conflict.

This way, he can avoid harassment from many sects while also tempering himself.

Cui Jinjia was somewhat stunned upon hearing this: "You, you decided to join my Tianjia Sect?"

"You must know that once you join, it is equivalent to taking a side; you will be targeted by the geniuses of other sects, and your path will be very difficult."

She had not expected Lu Tianyu to make such a decision.

Of course, she was very welcoming of Lu Tianyu joining as an Outer Sect Disciple; this was the best outcome.

After all, although the Tianjia Sect was willing to accept Lu Tianyu into the sect, Lu Tianyu's future was unknown.

If they spent a large amount of energy and financial resources, what if Lu Tianyu failed to grow?

Are there few top-tier geniuses who are just a flash in the pan or die halfway?

That would be a waste of the sect's resources; besides, Lu Tianyu is not a disciple of the sect, but an outsider; what if he changes his heart after being nurtured?

First, accept him as an Outer Sect Disciple and provide a small amount of resources for cultivation.

If Lu Tianyu does not die halfway and fights his way to that step, it would not be too late for the sect to spend great effort to nurture him.

Of course, if Lu Tianyu performs outstandingly, it is not impossible for the sect to give rewards along the way.

If Lu Tianyu dies on the way, the resources the Tianjia Sect paid would not be much, so they would not feel heartache.

But once he grows up, it will bring immense benefits to the Tianjia Sect.

During this period, Lu Tianyu's true nature would also be revealed, and the Tianjia Sect could decide whether to nurture him or not.

Lu Tianyu shook his head slightly: "I have already offended quite a few sects; am I afraid of offending more?"

"Once you choose to participate in the Great World Struggle, you must be prepared to face everything."

"Can you introduce the Tianjia Sect to me?"

Since no one can avoid the Great World Struggle, then he will participate.

Regardless of how many people target him, he will kill any Buddha or god that stands in his way!

Except for the Changheng Star Domain, Lu Tianyu did not know much about other star domains, let alone the Emperor Star Domain, so he would take this opportunity to learn about them.

"Tianjia Sect?"

Gui Sheng Xie Yi frowned: "I have been to the Emperor Star Domain, but I have truly never heard of this sect."

Cui Jinjia, however, let out a hum: "It is normal that you have not heard of it."

"You may not have heard of the Tianjia Sect, but you should know of the Hidden Ancient Sects of the Emperor Star Domain, right?"

She was somewhat displeased: "If you don't even know this, I can only say you are looking at the sky from the bottom of a well!"

Her expression turned cold again.

"Hidden World Sect?"

Qing Yuan was slightly startled: "No wonder; outsiders only hear four words about the Hidden World Sects: Hidden World Sect."

"It is said that the Hidden World Sects shoulder the arduous task of guarding the Galaxy; is that so?"

The expression on Cui Jinjia's face finally softened quite a bit: "You do know a little something."

Afterward, she looked into the distance: "The Hidden World Sects were the earliest sects to guard the Tianhe Galaxy, and it has been this way since being passed down from our ancestors."

"Whether in the past or the present, the Hidden World Sects have always remained hidden and rarely have contact with the outside world."

"But once a major event occurs in the Tianhe Galaxy, or if foreign enemies invade, the Hidden World Sects are forced to take action."

"For example, this time, the balance between yin and yang in heaven and earth has reached an irredeemable point, so the Hidden World Sects must take action; this is our heavy responsibility."

Speaking up to this point, she suddenly smiled.

However, a faint sorrow appeared in her eyes.
