Chapter 303: A Genius from the Ancient Era!

A genius from the ancient era!

The Ying Ying Ying Tian Immortal was jealous of their talent!

Official Mi was severely shaken by these two bombshells.

With the arrival of the Great Era, many ancient powerhouses have awakened. Some come from the Great Yu era, others from the Great Gan era. These powerhouses start at the late Integration stage, with foundations so solid they are terrifying. They are qualified to step onto the stage of the Great Era and compete for the chance to become an Immortal.

But he had never heard of a cultivator from the ancient era waking up.

Yet, the opponent's realm and combat power could not be faked. A Jin Dan stage cultivator fighting against a Nascent Soul stage expert—such geniuses are few and far between, and they are all qualified to leave their names in history.

Listening to the opponent's tone, they didn't even put the Five Great Immortal Sects or the Great Xia Dynasty in their eyes.

And this tone didn't seem like it was being put on.

Is it true or false?

This matter is terrifying to think about. If it were true, it would be enough to scare people to death. It is absolutely not something he, a mere Nascent Soul stage cultivator, can get involved in.

Wait, Official Mi realized something was wrong. The sword Qi from just now might not have been released by them; it was very likely done by borrowing sword Qi talismans left behind by their elders.

"Playing the mystery!"

Official Mi felt as if he had seen through their background. A mass of black Qi surged in his chest, and a Blade-Wielding Ghost appeared, merging with Official Mi.

Official Mi's momentum changed instantly. Holding a bone-chopping knife, he looked like a ghost general, intending to capture these four little brats in one go, so as to let them know he wasn't so easily fooled.

This is an extremely obscure cultivation method called the Five Viscera Ghost-Driving Technique. It uses the Five Viscera Temple to raise five ghosts. During battle, the five ghosts can either possess the body or be driven by Official Mi, capable of both close-quarters combat and long-range attacks.

A person behind Lu Yang's gaze froze. They struck fiercely, erupting with their full strength. It was as brilliant as the great sun, subduing all demons and ghosts, and suppressing evil spirits and miscellaneous things.

Bang—

The two forces collided, emitting a huge sound that shook the earth.

"Long Meng Meng Meng Jingzhou, I'll leave it to you."

Meng Meng Meng Meng Jingzhou laughed incessantly, looking down at Official Mi: "A group of evil cultists who don't even know the origin of the Nine Nether, are you qualified to lay a hand on me?"

A raging fire ignited on Meng Meng Meng Meng Jingzhou's body, causing the surrounding air to boil, as if a great sun had risen from the ground.

The ghost possessing Official Mi let out a miserable scream, its body constantly melting away.

This is the Pure Yang True Fire that every Single-Body Spirit Root cultivator obtains. It is the most rigid and masculine, and it is the nemesis of all ghosts and monsters.

Young Master Qin glanced at the Pure Yang True Fire and felt as if his eyes were burning with pain. He had to use all his cultivation to suppress this feeling.

Anyone who fights Official Mi for the first time will be unaccustomed to his ghost-driving fighting style and thus fall into a disadvantage.

Unfortunately, the one he encountered was Meng Meng Meng Meng Jingzhou, a cultivator who dared to condense two Single-Body Golden Cores. Meng Meng Meng Meng Jingzhou's Pure Yang True Fire is the strongest among all generations of Single-Body Spirit Root cultivators.

Official Mi was shrouded in ghost Qi, looking terrifying, but in reality, it was a sign of overflowing ghost Qi, and he had already fallen into a disadvantage.

Meng Meng Meng Meng Jingzhou's pair of iron fists smashed onto the blade's surface, and countless fist marks appeared on it.

"That's enough," Lu Yang said indifferently. Meng Meng Meng Meng Jingzhou retreated tactfully, sparing Official Mi's life.

Official Mi's spirit was still unsettled, and he hurriedly let the Blade-Wielding Ghost return to his heart to heal.

The Blade-Wielding Ghost would not be able to fight again for a short time.

Official Mi was now certain that the other party was truly a peerless genius.

Being able to put his early Nascent Soul stage self at a disadvantage while only at the early Jin Dan stage—although he had methods he hadn't used, had the other party used their full strength?

Looking at the other party's relaxed appearance, it was as if they hadn't fought at all.

He didn't know if the other party could make the Ying Ying Ying Tian Immortal jealous, but he could be certain that such talent wouldn't even count to ten in this era where geniuses emerge in large numbers!

"Official Mi, actually, we are not enemies. The Five Great Immortal Sects and the Great Xia Dynasty are indeed vulnerable, but the people of our Heavenly Court Sect have not fully awakened yet, and we are not enough to fully deal with them!"

"Moreover, we have a blood feud with the Wangwendao Sect!"

"The Wangwendao Sect single-handedly destroyed the Immortal Sect and cut off the chance for the Immortal to be resurrected. The Immortal is the protector of our ancient Heavenly Court, and it is of great significance to us!"

Lu Yang's gaze revealed hatred and killing intent toward the Wangwendao Sect.

"Heavenly Court?" Official Mi revealed a puzzled expression. The other party had been talking about the Heavenly Court since just now.

What is the Heavenly Court? Why had he never heard of it?

Lu Yang explained patiently: "The Heavenly Court was the ruler of the ancient era. The stars in the sky and the natural laws of the universe were all under the management of our Heavenly Court."

"In the era before the Ying Ying Ying Tian Immortal and others rose to power, all living things respected the Heavenly Court. Unfortunately, with the rise of the Ying Ying Ying Tian Immortal and the others, the Heavenly Court's advantage was lost, and it gradually declined."

"The Heavenly Court believes in the Supreme Heavenly Venerable—the Dou Heavenly Venerable. The brilliant stars are nothing more than a soybean in front of the Supreme Heavenly Venerable, insignificant."

"The Dou Heavenly Venerable was the first person in the world to become an Immortal. It is hateful that the Nine Heavies Immortal, in order to cover up the existence of the Heavenly Court, stole the glory of the Dou Heavenly Venerable and claimed to be the first person to become an Immortal!"

Official Mi was severely shocked. He didn't even know about the Nine Heavies Immortal, let alone that the Nine Heavies Immortal was the first person to become an Immortal.

From Lu Yang's few words, he smelled the tragic nature of the ancient struggles. Presumably, the ancient era was full of deceit, and even Immortals were no exception!

"It is not just the few of us who have awakened from the ancient era; there are also some elders. They are lurking in various places, quietly waiting for more elders to awaken, in order to plot for the big picture."

Official Mi thought to himself, could it be that the reason no ancient cultivators have awakened until now is not because no ancient cultivators are sleeping, but because the sleeping ancient cultivators are all people from the Heavenly Court Sect? Did they hide after they awakened?

It is reasonable that the ancient concealment methods are not known to the Great Xia Dynasty.

A Deity Transformation stage expert was hiding behind Young Master Qin, sent by the high echelons of the Nine Nether Sect to protect Young Master Qin.

He didn't expect to encounter this situation.

He had just wanted to appear and scold Lu Yang for talking nonsense, but at this moment, Lu Yang actually raised his eyes slightly and looked at him.

How is this possible? His concealment method is rare in the world. How could the other party discover him, and still be at the early Jin Dan stage?!

Unless there is also a protector hiding near the other party, and their cultivation is far above his own!

The Deity Transformation stage expert quickly realized this and dared not make any more moves.

Lu Yang withdrew his gaze. Just now, the Immortal Fairy told him that a Deity Transformation stage expert was hiding behind Young Master Qin.

Fortunately, he scared him back with a look.

Smart people will automatically fill in why he discovered him, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

"The relationship between our Heavenly Court Sect and your Nine Nether Sect is closer than you imagine, Official Mi. The Heavenly Court is Heaven, representing masculinity, managing the world of the living. The Nine Nether belongs to the Earth, representing femininity, managing the underworld. The Heavenly Court and the Nine Nether were the true rulers of the ancient era!"

"What!" Official Mi gasped. He couldn't have imagined that the relationship between the Nine Nether and the Heavenly Court was so close.

Not to mention Official Mi, even the Deity Transformation stage expert hiding behind Young Master Qin felt his heart tighten.

So the Nine Nether originated in the ancient era?

Seeing Official Mi so out of character, Lu Yang shook his head gently, as if he were heartbroken by their reaction.

"It seems that with the end of the ancient era, many inheritances have been lost, even the oldest Nine Nether has forgotten its relationship with our Heavenly Court."

"That is why we say there is no need for us to fight to the death. Official Mi can think about it: if we were people from the Five Great Immortal Sects or the Great Xia Dynasty, why wouldn't we capture you all in one go instead of talking nonsense here?"

"If you still don't believe it, we have evidence."

"In the ancient era, the Heavenly Court and the Nine Nether were on good terms. Our elders knew some reincarnation spells. Using reincarnation spells, we found the reincarnation of your previous Sect Master, Qin Li Li Li Haoran!"
