Chapter 1065: Immortal Axe and Divine Craftsmanship

Originally, Lu Yang felt the starry sky was vast and the universe mysterious, believing it a great pity that the cultivators of the boxed world could not harness the power of the stars.

Now, having heard the Immortal Fairy's description, he suddenly felt this Big Dipper was nothing to boast about.

"Aren't Ying Tian Xian and the others just idle?" Lu Yang could not help but speak his mind. If you four really have nothing to do, you should figure out how to ascend to detachment.

"How could they be? They are terribly busy. Every day they are either preaching lectures or altering the landscape. I invited them to my home for dinner and they wouldn't even come. It's still little Ling, Lian Yi, and the others who are gentle and quiet, without so many affairs; they come every single time."

Lu Yang felt that Ying Tian Xian and the others being a bit busy was quite understandable.

"After the landscapes were all constructed, the cultivators fought with extreme caution, utterly terrified of ruining the painstaking efforts of those four, including Ying Tian Xian."

In reality, Sect Master Kong gazed upon the bustling disciples, pointing at the mountains and rivers, unable to hold back a sigh of emotion.

"Little Lu, Little Meng, look. How beautiful this mountain range is. This peak resembles a ox's head, here is the ox's body, and that peak looks like an ox's tail, hence the name Azure Ox Mountain Range."

"Every time I see such a scene, I marvel at nature's uncanny craftsmanship, capable of creating such strange and beautiful scenery."

"This is also why I originally chose to join the Mountain-Moving Sea-Filling Sect; I am unwilling to see cultivators destroy nature's masterpieces."

Standing behind Sect Master Kong, Lu Yang hesitated to speak. He wanted to say this was not a masterpiece of nature, but a masterpiece of the four ancient immortals, yet he worried the truth would break Sect Master Kong's heart.

Senior Brother Dai, a man nearly a thousand years old, could not withstand a couple of sentences of his badgering; Sect Master Kong was over two thousand years old, so his mental state was probably just average too, right?

"It is not uncanny craftsmanship, but immortal craftsmanship. These were all hacked out by Ying Tian Xian, one axe blow at a time."

The Immortal Fairy felt Sect Master Kong was truly uncultured, unable to even use idioms properly, whereas Little Yangzi was far more educated.

For instance, just now she had only mentioned an axe without specifying further, yet Little Yangzi knew it was a broad axe.

In contrast, this lad surnamed Kong looked refined and full of ink, but as soon as he spoke, he exposed himself; compared to Little Yangzi, the difference was immediately clear.

With the preliminary preparations completed, the two late-stage Soul Transformation cultivators finally arrived at the Azure Ox Mountain Range.

They froze upon seeing Sect Master Kong, initially astonished at why a cultivator of his echelon would come, but upon realizing the reason, their hearts leaped with joy.

To think their fame was so grand that even Sect Master Kong had specially come to watch their battle!

"Little Jin, what are the backgrounds of the two fighting this time?" Sect Master Kong called over his eldest disciple, Fang Jin, and asked.

"These two are ancestors from nearby thousand-year-old clans. One is named Song Junhao and the other Ning Zihao. In their youth, they joined forces to make a name for themselves, known as the 'Dual Hao Geniuses'."

"Now, the world respectfully refers to them as the 'Dual Hao Old Geniuses'."

Sect Master Kong hesitated for a moment: "Are you sure that is a respectful title?"

"At least locally, it is a respectful title."

"Alright then."

Sect Master Kong said no more. He waved his hand, signaling everyone to stand further away; they were here to clean up the aftermath and should not interfere with the battle of the Dual Hao Old Geniuses.

Learning that Sect Master Kong was present, the Dual Hao Old Geniuses felt as though they had returned to the high-spirited days of their youth, the circulation speed of their cultivation methods through their meridians far faster than usual.

"Old Song, show your move!"

"Then I shall not be polite, Hidden Dragon Refrains From Use!"

"Biyou Surging Wave Art!"

The two veteran late-stage Soul Transformation cultivators were extraordinary from the start; earthen dragons burrowed out from underground, letting out bursts of dragon roars, while the lake water churned, flowing endlessly.

Perhaps due to the excitement of Sect Master Kong's presence, the two felt their current condition was better than ever before, their minds more active, their techniques flowing naturally, each perfectly countering the other's moves, with deep calculations hidden behind every strike, emphasizing winning step by step, fully displaying their cunning!

The dharma treasures they brought out each had unique merits, capable of producing unexpected effects at critical moments.

The two fought fiercely for a hundred rounds, battling to their hearts' content, yet a victor was still not decided!

Watching the battle, Lu Yang and his companion secretly stifled a yawn; the Dual Hao Old Geniuses' combat lacked any novelty, and the power was insufficient; even the two of them fighting at the late Nascent Soul stage would look better than this.

Finally, at the three hundredth round, Song Junhao achieved a breakthrough in his state of mind at a critical juncture, touching the threshold of the Void Refining stage and reaching the half-step Void Refining stage.

"I lose," Ning Zihao admitted defeat dejectedly.

Song Junhao said coldly: "According to the agreement, the maintenance fee for this battle will be paid by your Ning family."

"Alas—" Ning Zihao sighed deeply; he was going to bleed heavily this time.

The Dual Hao Old Geniuses still wanted to ask Sect Master Kong for a word of critique, but after searching around, they could not find anyone from the Mountain-Moving Sea-Filling Sect, so they had to leave it at that and return to their respective clans.

After the battle, the people of the Mountain-Moving Sea-Filling Sect stepped out from the shadows; they had hidden themselves precisely to avoid disrupting the fight.

The Azure Ox Mountain Range was a scene of devastation, its peaks leveled, lake water backflowing, and countless trees fallen; if someone familiar with the Azure Ox Mountain Range were here, they wouldn't even recognize it.

This highlighted the role of the Mountain-Moving Sea-Filling Sect disciples. They produced shadow-recording spheres, restoring the mountains according to how the Azure Ox Mountain Range looked before the battle.

Some disciples raised their hands, lifting the lake water that had seeped into the soil and pouring it back into the lake, while also returning the fish and shrimp affected by the battle back into the water; since some fish and shrimp had died from the impact, they even had to release fry to make up for it.

Other disciples carried shovels to dig out broken tree roots, then held tree seeds one by one, flicking them with a finger into the dug pits. Spurred by the Tree Planting Art, the seeds grew rapidly against the wind, turning into towering trees in an instant; the authentic Tree Planting Art made Lu Yang look on with great envy.

This level of proficiency showed at a glance that the Tree Planting Art had reached grand mastery.

Noticing Lu Yang's peculiar gaze, Sect Master Kong smiled and asked, "What, want to give it a try?"

"What do you need me to do?"

Sect Master Kong pointed at a mountain that had shifted over ten meters and said, "Sword cultivators excel at controlling swords to fly, and excelling at sword control means you are also adept at controlling objects. You can try to control that mountain and move it back to its original place."

"Actually, the best way is to display the Law Heavenly Phenomenon or a Dharma Idol, but you are only at the late Soul Transformation stage, it is not yet time for you to master these supreme grand divine abilities..."

Next, Sect Master Kong witnessed an unbelievable scene. He saw Lu Yang turn into a wisp of clear qi drifting into the sky, a scene filled with divinity, looking exactly like the legendary feather ascension!

Then, Sect Master Kong felt the surrounding spiritual energy vanish instantly, the world coming alive to supply Lu Yang with the power of the cosmos!

Then, with a thunderous crash, a neatly dressed Lu Yang, hundreds of feet tall, landed on the ground!

The giant Lu Yang grinned at Sect Master Kong: "I just happen to know the Law Heavenly Phenomenon."

Lu Yang's landing caused too much commotion to go unnoticed. Every single disciple of the Mountain-Moving Sea-Filling Sect gaped at the giant Lu Yang, briefly believing they were hallucinating.

"Is, isn't it said that few even in the Body Integration stage can learn the Law Heavenly Phenomenon? Senior Brother Lu Yang is only in the Soul Transformation stage!"

"Yeah, Senior Brother Fang learned the Law Heavenly Phenomenon at the early Body Integration stage and was already hailed as a once-in-a-millennium genius."

Fang Jin stared at Lu Yang in utter disbelief. That Lu Yang knew the Law Heavenly Phenomenon was shocking enough, but what shocked him even more was how Lu Yang managed to make his clothes grow along with him as he grew larger.

He could not help but question his own learning: "Could it be that the Law Heavenly Phenomenon I learned is a fragmented version, and Junior Brother Lu possesses the complete one?"
