Chapter 750: I Have Also Told Him Many Ancient Anecdotes

"The cultivator who owned the ancient ring before died in a secret realm. That was a secret realm that only Foundation Establishment cultivators could enter. At that time, Jinghong only had early Foundation Establishment cultivation, but she showed her skills in the secret realm, and finally, by chance, she obtained me."

"I

"I revealed my identity and said I hoped to take her as a disciple, wondering if she was willing. With such an opportunity, Jinghong naturally wouldn't miss it, and she bowed to me as her master."

Lu Yang thought to himself: when you say you revealed your identity, do you mean your identity as the Great Venerable Ying Long?

Of course, he only dared to think this in his heart and did not dare to say it aloud.

"Afterward, I helped Jinghong cleanse her marrow with immortal power, improve her aptitude, change her spiritual roots, and taught her immortal arts and techniques, as well as the art of artifact refining. When she went out on missions, I helped her analyze the situation and guided her to think, letting her find the answers herself. Fearing she might be too flashy and attract the attention of the Immortal of Extinction, I had her keep a low profile as much as possible and not stir up trouble."

Lu Yang: "..."

Everyone has an immortal helping them, so why is the gap so large?

Speaking of this topic, the Immortal Fairy became spirited: "Oh, then we're about the same. After I was resurrected by Lu Yang, to repay the favor of resurrection, I helped him..."

The Immortal Fairy suddenly got stuck. Little Yangzi had top-tier aptitude and didn't need improvement; he didn't learn her immortal arts and techniques, she didn't know artifact refining herself, and when he went on missions, she mostly just watched the fun to let Little Yangzi develop independent thinking.

"Stirring up trouble," Lu Yang kindly reminded her.

"Oh right, I helped him stir up trouble... hmm?"

Seeing the Immortal Fairy react, Lu Yang hurriedly added: "Fairy, you also taught me the Art of Feigning Death."

Immortal Ying Ying Tian nodded: "The Art of Deceiving Heaven and Defying Fate? It seems the Decayed Immortal really values you."

"... Are these two describing the same technique?"

"Of course it's the same technique, but the Decayed Immortal's naming sense is relatively simple, and I just like to add some decorative words."

Immortal Ying Ying Tian realized he had gone off-topic and pulled the conversation back: "Little Friend Lu Yang has a unique style of doing things and possesses the spirit of youth. I have heard Jinghong talk about many things regarding you, but what really drew my attention to you was that time you were attacked by the Immortal of Extinction in the East Sea."

"Not only did you survive that time, but you later encountered the Immortal of Extinction again at the Sword Tower, and you survived again, completely uninjured."

"Surviving twice unscathed—even I don't have such ability. This makes me highly suspicious that you are a decoy arranged by the Immortal of Extinction."

"Although I also heard that you encountered the Qian Heaven Lei Jie when you advanced to the Spirit Transformation stage, this could have been created by the Immortal of Extinction, or it could really be the person I am looking for."

"I am not sure which situation it is, so after you arrived at the Xiangong, I instructed Jinghong to stay away."

"Judging by your performance in the Xiangong, I once suspected that you had formed a Harem Golden Core. I had intended to continue observing to confirm your identity, but I didn't expect this to happen. The Decayed Immortal bringing you directly to the Ancient Ring Small World actually saved me the trouble."

"What is going on with this body of yours?" The Immortal Fairy noticed that Immortal Ying Ying Tian's body was not a flesh-and-blood body, but an incomplete one made of immortal gold. Only the two arms and two legs were made of immortal gold, while the rest of the parts were refined from relatively ordinary materials.

"It's not that I've lost my body. I'm not afraid of my corpse coming to my door; I have no problem dealing with that idiot, it's just that I can't find his location."

"What I am truly afraid of is the Immortal of Extinction coming to my door. I couldn't beat him in my prime, let alone now that I am only in a soul state."

"In order to seek self-preservation, I refined this body. However, my range of movement is limited, and I couldn't find enough immortal gold, so I'm just making do with other materials for now."

"If the entire body were made of immortal gold, I could almost return to my peak state."

"As for immortal gold... I remember that after killing your corpse, a lot of immortal gold was left behind, but it was all mashed together by Huang Dou Dou and couldn't be separated."

Immortal Ying Ying Tian's eyes lit up: "That's not a problem. I can refine it slowly; I'll be able to separate this immortal gold eventually."

His corpse must have collected a massive amount of immortal gold to deal with him, enough for him to refine a complete body.

A corpse really is most useful only when it's dead.

"Speaking of which, do you know what's going on with the Heavenly Court? I heard that Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi have both joined the Heavenly Court. Could this Heavenly Court have been established by the Immortal of Extinction? But that doesn't make sense either—if the Immortal of Extinction established the Heavenly Court, how could Jiang Lianyi join it?"

"Or did the Immortal of Extinction disguise himself as you, Decayed Immortal, and trick Jiang Lianyi into the Heavenly Court?"

"It doesn't look like it was created by Qilin or Jiu Chong; being so flashy would attract the attention of the Immortal of Extinction."

When Immortal Ying Ying Tian heard that the Ancient Heavenly Court had suddenly appeared, his heart had given a sharp tug.

This Ancient Heavenly Court thing sounded like something the Immortal of Extinction would cook up.

"Actually, I made up the Heavenly Court," Lu Yang said, scratching his head in embarrassment. He hadn't expected that the Heavenly Court he created to trick the Jiuyou Sect would grow so large.

"You made it up?" Immortal Ying Ying Tian was extremely shocked. He had always regarded the Ancient Heavenly Court as a great enemy, never expecting it to be something created by his own people.

"Then who is Dou Tianzun?"

"That's me, my name is Huang Dou Dou," the Immortal Fairy said triumphantly, very satisfied with her identity as Dou Tianzun.

"So your real name is Huang Dou Dou, Decayed Immortal." Immortal Ying Ying Tian couldn't help but laugh or cry. Only then did he realize that he had been so happy about the Decayed Immortal's resurrection that he had forgotten to ask her name.

His name was Si Qi, Qilin Immortal was Shi He, Jiu Chong Immortal was Yi Nong, and Suiyue Immortal was Sui Qi. This really was out of place with the names of the four of them.

"However, the name 'Heavenly Court' wasn't just thought of on the spot, right? Little Friend Lu Yang must have heard this name somewhere." If it were a coincidence, it would be too coincidental.

"Of course I told him about the time the four of us made up the Heavenly Court together! Each of us four made up different versions to fool later generations."

"I see." Immortal Ying Ying Tian nodded; that made sense.

"It's not just the Heavenly Court. When I was bored, I told him many ancient anecdotes, like how you four would fall asleep right after eating my cooking, how you, Ying Ying Tian, often lectured cultivators on maintaining their 'cool factor,' and the immortal sword you refined for Qilin Immortal that went soft at a touch. Oh right, right, Lu Yang also found that book, 'Quotations of the Immortals.' That's a good book; I thought I'd never find it again..."

The Immortal Fairy spoke with great spirit, not noticing that Immortal Ying Ying Tian's expression changed a little with every story she told.

But Lu Yang noticed.

Immortal Ying Ying Tian, who had been full of smiles, now had a face so gloomy it could drip water.

He smiled and patted Lu Yang on the shoulder: "I observe that Little Friend Lu Yang's cultivation is still lacking a bit of heat. As a cultivator, the most important thing is cultivation. Little Friend should advance to the Void Refinement stage as soon as possible."

"Rest assured, with me here, Little Friend will definitely be safe and sound when you undergo the lightning tribulation to advance to the Void Refinement stage."
