Chapter 1203: Fat Water Does Not Flow Into Another's Field

Wuxing Sect, the Place of Enlightenment.

Mr. Tian Kui pondered deeply over the intricate chessboard, and the more he studied the black and white pieces, the more he felt the chess contained endless mysteries of heaven and earth.

"I just can't figure it out…… Ah-choo!"

Mr. Tian Kui suddenly sneezed.

"Strange, is an old friend thinking of me?"

"Surely it's because I have too many good connections?"

……

"I heard earlier that Mr. Tian Kui advocated that all things are composed of the Five Elements, and thus established the Wuxing Sect, so I wanted to see if I should pay him a visit."

Mr. Tian Kui founded the Wuxing Sect, and Immortal Jiu Chong had heard of it as early as 100,000 years ago in the far north.

"It's just that I've always been occupied with matters and couldn't free myself; now that things are settled, Daoist Guiyuan, when do you plan to introduce me to Mr. Tian Kui?" Immortal Jiu Chong said with a smiling bow, for it would be impolite to go without greeting, and having Lord Guiyuan bring him along would be much more convenient.

Lord Guiyuan quietly stepped back two steps: "Eh, should I first have him buy some insurance? I heard young people are into this lately."

He thought Mr. Tian Kui might not be very keen on communicating with Immortal Jiu Chong.

"Daoist Guiyuan was joking; I am a scholarly gentleman, and gentlemen do not resort to violence."

On the other side, Yun Mengmeng clenched her fists to cheer for Lu Yang, worried her voice was too loud and would distract Second-in-Chief in battle, so her cheering was very soft.

Qing He, meanwhile, bit the tip of her brush, pondering how to write the later history of the Soybean Dynasty, especially the lord's experiences in the far north, which would undoubtedly be a bold and vivid stroke in the Soybean Dynasty's history.

She was currently writing about Emperor Soybean riding Lu Yang in battle against Siming.

"Why not name this section 'The Two Emperors Battle Siming'?"

"No, that makes Siming seem too strong."

"What a pity; if the lord could restore his immortal body and directly defeat Siming, this history would be much easier to write."

Qing He shook her head regretfully; as a historian, she cannot describe nonexistent history.

Qing He noticed Yun Mengmeng quietly cheering and suggested: "Actually, Mengmeng, you could prepare some spirit fruits, squeeze some juice, and things like that."

Seeing Yun Mengmeng's clueless expression, Qing He had to explain further: "After Lord Lu Zhuguo's battle ends, he will surely be hungry and thirsty, needing food and drink most, so what you prepare will come in handy?"

These are all experiences Qing He deduced while serving the immortal maiden Bujiu in ancient times.

"Ah, I see!" Upon hearing this explained so clearly, Yun Mengmeng understood and hurried off to prepare.

Lu Yang and the Haihai Dao Jun's battle entered a stalemate; the True Dragon Fist could not withstand the Ao Ling sword qi and the Arhat Fist, and he was beaten back step by step. Haihai Dao Jun could display other arts, but Lu Yang could break them open, and in the end he could only shamelessly activate the embryonic form of the Spatial Dao Fruit.

He set up spatial barriers around himself; once sword qi approached, it would be absorbed by the barrier and shoot out from the other end, so the sword qi could never harm him.

However, in this state, Haihai Dao Jun could also not harm Lu Yang.

Haihai Dao Jun's greatest skill is absorbing attacks and transferring them to the opponent, but he is currently absorbing only Lu Yang's sword qi, and how could Lu Yang's sword qi possibly harm Lu Yang?

Activating the embryonic Dao Fruit places little burden on magic power; Lu Yang's power source stems from the Buddhist Country's immortal body, and if this stalemate continues, they could fight for three days and three nights without end.

Facing Haihai Dao Jun in this state, Lu Yang devised a method.

Activating the embryonic Dao Fruit requires focusing one's attention on it for half a moment; he could enforce the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation to force Haihai Dao Jun to kneel, and Haihai Dao Jun would surely be distracted and slacken in the face of change, allowing Lu Yang to seize the opportunity to attack.

Lu Yang helplessly raised his hand; this method could only be a fleeting thought, for it was not a life-or-death battle, and how could he make Haihai Dao Jun kneel before him?

"I surrender."

Haihai Dao Jun likewise helplessly gazed at Lu Yang and the endless sword qi surrounding him: "Don't just say you surrender—hurry up and withdraw your sword qi!"

Haihai Dao Jun was forced to use the embryonic Spatial Dao Fruit; without it, he would have long been turned into a hornet's nest by Lu Yang's thrusts.

Lu Yang dispersed his sword qi, and only then did Haihai Dao Jun dare to cease the embryonic Spatial Dao Fruit and land.

Haihai Dao Jun rejoiced that he chose to fight Lu Yang now; if he waited another two years, he would truly be unable to win.

"Xiao Lu, you're truly formidable; if I were only at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, I would surely lose to you."

When Haihai Dao Jun visited the Ancestor of Prosperity at the Questioning Dao Sect, he too was a one-fisted conqueror of the world—who among Tribulation Transcendence cultivators hasn't fought? This is not false modesty, but fact; in the Tribulation Transcendence stage, he is absolutely a top expert.

He just falls short compared to Lu Yang.

Xiao Lu's sword techniques, arts, and combat experience are sufficient; what he lacks now is realm, Haihai Dao Jun thought to himself.

"Second-in-Chief fought wonderfully." Yun Mengmeng brought a tray, which held not only spirit fruits and juice, but also thoughtfully prepared a hot towel for Lu Yang to compress his face.

Lu Yang released the Xiang-shaped Fist, exhaled deeply, and his whole body felt on the verge of collapse.

Sparring with Haihai Dao Jun was this easy on mental power, a tremendous burden; releasing the Xiang-shaped Fist, fatigue welled up in his heart, and he nearly couldn't even stand.

Fortunately, Yun Mengmeng had prepared the spirit fruits.

"So delicious." Lu Yang ate two pieces of the Qingfeng Sword-shaped spirit fruit; he didn't know what variety it was, but after eating, the effect was immediate, and his spirit recovered greatly.

"What kind of spirit fruit is this?" Lu Yang had wanted to ask about the origin of the spirit fruit even before the battle.

"This is the immortal spirit fruit of our immortal lineage; eating it restores energy and strength." Now Yun Mengmeng can already cultivate the immortal spirit fruit proficiently.

……

Lu Yang suddenly didn't feel like eating spirit fruit anymore; he remembered the immortal spirit fruit would explode.

But it really is quite delicious.

Forget it, I'll just keep eating.

After Lord Guiyuan was forced to bring Immortal Jiu Chong to the Wuxing Sect, Haihai Dao Jun returned to the East Sea Dragon Palace, Lu Yang regained some strength and crawled up from the ground.

"Time to get down to business."

……

Meng Jingzhou gritted his teeth and stared at his good brother: "So you fought the Haihai Ancestor and then came straight to me?"

"You don't take a break at all."

"Old Meng, you also know that only you can handle this interview." To make a name for himself, Lu Yang earnestly advised Meng Jingzhou to be the interviewer.

"You see, the parties involved are just these few; we can't let Senior Sister Jiu or Immortal Jiu Chong interview me."

"Senior Ma conducts himself discreetly and wouldn't interview me either."

The Snow Emperor and Snow Tenth Tower are both in the far north, and I can't find anyone, and besides, the Snow Emperor has already retired.

The gatekeeper Xiao Huo doesn't have sufficient rank.

So after counting and recounting, only you remain.

Besides, wealth should not flow to outsiders' fields; my victory over Yang Kongdong is a glorious deed that will be recorded in history, and the newspapers will be preserved. When future generations see the newspapers, they will find not only my name but also yours on them!

Meng Jingzhou was considering whether to use his financial resources, and simply decided to buy all copies of this issue of the newspaper.
