Chapter 406: Meng Jingzhou's Immortal Tribulation
The spiritual space.
Lu Yang, in his mortal body, was helping Meng Jingzhou resist the tribulation of an immortal, a touching scene of boundless merit.
"Watch how this Immortal teaches that Meng family brat a lesson! What does he mean by saying it’s the same whether you have this Immortal or not!" The Immortal Immortal was like a furious little yellow cat, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws, eager to find trouble with Meng Jingzhou.
"Immortal, Immortal, Old Meng is just a mortal speaking without thinking, we don’t need to get angry with him." Lu Yang held onto the Immortal Immortal's arm with all his might, not daring to let her run out.
The Immortal Immortal asked huffily, "You tell me, for your sake, this Immortal kindly helped him think of a solution, treating him quite well, didn't I? And he defames this Immortal like this?
"Immortal, you are magnanimous. Old Meng is young and ignorant, please forgive him this once."
The Immortal Immortal sat back down huffily, her little feet swinging back and forth.
"You tell me, which of the traits that Meng family brat mentioned does this Immortal not fit?
"Old Meng said that someone with an ancient immortal in their body should have constant miraculous luck?
"Didn't this Immortal let you become the acting Sect Master, in charge of the massive Daoist Sect, where even Girl Yun has to obey your orders! When the Five Elements Sect visited, it was you who received them!
"Then using damaged ancient magical treasures as weapons?
"Isn't your Dark Moon Sword exactly that? An Immortal's flying sword, personally refined and meticulously crafted by Immortal Ying Tian, treated as a priceless treasure and used with utmost care by Immortal Qilin, only to be snapped by those girls from the Dragon and Phoenix races?
"Then knowing all kinds of shocking secrets?
"Ancient secrets! Aren't the stories I tell you all secrets? Could you hear them from anywhere else?
Lu Yang thought about it, and it was indeed true. If he were to tell the stories the Immortal told, the immortal prestige that Immortal Ying Tian painstakingly maintained would instantly crumble. It truly qualified as shocking secrets.
"And being familiar with multiple cultivation methods?
"Doesn't this Immortal show you every day how to cultivate by sleeping? And there is also the most ancient Devouring Heaven and Earth, which can speed up your cultivation."
"Invincible among the same level?
Speaking of this, the Immortal Immortal became even more proud. She suddenly stood up on the bed, looking down at Lu Yang from above.
"Have you forgotten the Invincible Pill this Immortal taught you, making you invincible among your peers, victorious in every battle? Only this Immortal can do this. If you changed to someone like Immortal Ying Tian or Immortal Qilin, it wouldn't work at all!
"And when you were the acting Sect Master, with a Foundation Establishment cultivation, you defeated experts across three major realms: Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation. Without this Immortal's help, could you have done it?
"Then often making astonishing remarks, possessing insights that shouldn't belong to this level?
The Immortal Immortal's excitement ended, changing from standing on the bed to sitting on the bed, her resentment towards Meng Jingzhou already dissipating to who knows where.
"At such a young age, you know so many immortal secrets and ancient secrets, being more knowledgeable than those in the Body Integration stage. Does that not count?
"Beautiful women throwing themselves into your arms?
The Immortal Immortal rarely showed a difficult expression, letting out a hiss.
"Beautiful women throwing themselves into your arms is a bit difficult, but there are still many beautiful young girls around you, like Girl Yun, like your junior sister Tao Tianye, like that little girl from the Laurel Immortal Palace, what was her name again, oh right, Lan Ting.
But all the people you mentioned are those I knew before you were resurrected.
"How about this Immortal settles for giving you a hug?
Lu Yang looked at the exquisite face of the Immortal Immortal, who was the head of the top ten ancient beauties, and calmly refused.
He was a man of meager fortune and short life, unable to withstand the source of this curse that was the Immortal Immortal.
"And going to secret realms is like going home?
"This is a bit difficult. The secret realms this Immortal knows about are probably all gone by now... Wait, haven't you been to the Immortal Secret Realm? This Immortal's kitchen is right there!
Lu Yang: "......"
Old Meng was not wrong at all. How did he look like someone with an ancient immortal in his body? Being able to live until now was entirely due to his tough fate.
When his master was a child, saying an ancient ferocious beast was sealed inside his body sounded more like it than his own situation.
After comforting the furious Immortal Immortal, Lu Yang finally left the spiritual space.
"Remember, you owe me a life."
It wasn't just a day or two that Lu Yang had been acting up, so Meng Jingzhou didn't care too much.
"Old Ma, go to the nearest city, the two of us will go to gather information." Meng Jingzhou patted Old Ma.
Old Ma walked unhurriedly, as if knowing where there was a city.
The carriage drove to a quiet mountain path, when suddenly torrential rain poured down without any warning, as if to wash the heaven and earth clean.
Rumble—
A massive sound came from overhead, like something extremely heavy rolling down.
The two lifted the carriage curtain and looked up. Under the curtain of rain, the mountain began to shake violently, and mud and rocks splashed in all directions. Like a fierce beast, it rampaged in the intense turmoil, rushing madly down the mountain. Countless trees were washed by the mud, falling slantingly to the ground, rolling down to the bottom of the mountain together.
"It's a mudslide!
Boom—
Mud and rocks came down together, like a charge of underworld soldiers, rushing towards the two in the carriage.
Fortunately, Old Ma's cultivation was profound, and the carriage was a magical treasure. A mere mortal natural disaster was not qualified to threaten the carriage.
The mudslide ended, and the two investigated the situation.
"The front and back are both blocked.
Meng Jingzhou frowned slightly. The carriage was fine, but both roads in front and behind were blocked by mud and rocks, making it completely impossible to walk.
If Old Ma used his methods, they could leave.
But looking at Old Ma's leisurely appearance, like an ordinary mortal horse, he had no intention of taking action at all.
Meng Jingzhou was helpless but could understand. Old Ma was protecting his safety, not acting as his servant to do everything for him.
If he did everything, how could it serve the purpose of training.
"Clear the obstacles."
The two got out of the carriage, wrapping themselves in spiritual energy so the heavy rain could not touch their bodies and clothes.
Each used their own methods to clear the mud and rocks.
"Collapsing Punch!"
Meng Jingzhou used the Collapsing Punch again. The power of the Collapsing Punch was not great, but its impact force was extremely large, suitable for dealing with cultivators weaker than himself.
Boom—
The mud and rocks in front shook slightly. Seeing this, Meng Jingzhou gathered his strength and continuously executed the Collapsing Punch, forcefully carving out a path with his fists.
Lu Yang was not to be outdone. He operated his spell, his eyes narrowing, and opened his mouth slightly.
"Devouring Heaven and Earth!
Lu Yang inhaled sharply, and under the massive suction force, the mud and rocks behind were all eaten by Lu Yang!
Meng Jingzhou was shocked, feeling that this move was so powerful. So many mud and rocks vanished all at once!
As expected of the absolute secret technique of the Taotie clan that could devour all things!
"Want to learn?" Lu Yang smiled with bad intentions, and Meng Jingzhou instinctively felt there was a plot.
Just as the two wanted to say something, they heard the rumbling sound coming from overhead again.
Meng Jingzhou flew into a rage: "How can it be another mudslide? There is no end to this!"
Lu Yang watched him in silence, as if he had finally pieced together the truth, feeling very much like an innocent fish caught in a burning pond.
"We are heading for the city, and a city is bound to have women. You are burdened by the backlash of karma; under its relentless pull, you are destined never to reach it, and I have been dragged down entirely by your association."
"Then what should we do?" At Lu Yang's words, the realization dawned on Meng Jingzhou as well.
"You stay right here, and I shall go alone."
