Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 196: Why Are There So Many People in Your Spiritual Space?

If there are two people in a spiritual space, the original owner and a powerful spirit, it could be explained that the powerful spirit has not yet decided to possess the body.

But having three people in your spiritual space is just too much, does it really need to be this crowded? Now including himself, there are four people in the spiritual space.

The Everlasting Celestial, inexperienced, had never heard of anyone’s spiritual space housing four souls. Yun Zhi closed her book and watched the Everlasting Celestial silently.

With a respect for the elderly, she let Everlasting Fairy strike first. Now, it was her turn.

“Even without the ariya-phala, I am still invincible!”

The Everlasting Celestial regained his confidence, brushing off his previous disheartened state, and engaged again. “Demonic Conquest of the World!”

Boundless black demonic energy surged from within the Everlasting Celestial, with numerous demonic heads writhing within it, emitting piercing screams that filled the entire spiritual space, rushing towards Yun Zhi.

Yun Zhi didn’t even look, she simply raised her jade arm, and the golden bell tied around her wrist chimed. Her voice was cool, like a fairy from a quiet lunar palace.

“Cloud Descending Palm.”

A palm strike was unleashed, and white clouds appeared behind Yun Zhi, swelling like the sea, engulfing the black demonic energy completely. The clouds then transformed into towering waves, sweeping over the Everlasting Celestial.

Everlasting Celestial felt like a mere pebble in the face of an overwhelming river, insignificant and powerless to resist.

“Netherworld Undying Flame!”

“Eighteen Golden Bell Shield!”

Red and black flames ignited from the Everlasting Celestial’s chest, spreading rapidly, forming a thin film over his skin. Eighteen golden bells thunderously descended, enveloping the Everlasting Celestial, layer upon layer, attempting to block the onslaught.

The waves surged relentlessly, mercilessly battering the Everlasting Celestial, shattering the eighteen layers of the golden bell shield. The red and black flames formed a thin film that evaporated when it met the sea, and the Everlasting Celestial bore the brunt of this impact, crashing into the edge of the spiritual space.

Yun Zhi rose from her seat, stepping lightly, with lotuses blooming with each step she took toward Everlasting Celestial.

“Stop, stop, I said stop!!” The Everlasting Celestial shouted harshly, his confidence shattered by the previous attack.

“Shatter Gold and Split Stone Palm!” A mist-formed giant hand descended from the sky, capable of smashing mountains, cracking the earth, and shattering treasures. It was a well-known and formidable attack in the cultivation world.

Yun Zhi simply waved her hand, and the misty giant hand dispersed like smoke. “Indestructible Bodhi Body!” Everlasting Celestial deployed his divine body.

If this were the outside world, his divine body would be tens of thousands of feet tall, towering and reaching for the stars, unaffected by any attack, while his own attacks could destroy heaven and earth.

Constrained by the spiritual space, it was difficult to fully perceive the grandeur of the Indestructible Bodhi Body, but its power was undiminished. “Die!” Everlasting Celestial, furious, attempted to crush Yun Zhi.

Yun Zhi, without looking up, simply waved her hand twice, and the terrifying divine body was instantly dispersed like ash. “Red Lotus Fall!”

“Reverse Five Elements Killing Array!” “Buddha Slaying Fist Technique!” “Imperial Path Talisman!”

Everlasting Celestial, no longer holding back, used everything at his disposal: palm techniques, fist techniques, arrays, talismans… each attack was deep in skill, as if he had studied them for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.

Any ordinary cultivator would have been terrified by such an onslaught, but before Yun Zhi, these attacks were insufficient.

Lu Yang’s spiritual space seemed to become her domain; with a simple wave of her hand, like swatting flies, all attacks vanished.

“Far from being an immortal.” Yun Zhi commented on Everlasting Celestial’s array of attacks, noting not just the lack of power but also a lack of vision.

The same attacks, if performed by Everlasting Fairy, would have been more effective.

“Are all these currently known techniques, have any ancient techniques been used?” Yun Zhi noticed that although Everlasting Celestial performed a variety of techniques, without exception, they were all modern, traceable ones, none of which were the lost ancient techniques.

This was strange.

After the great cataclysm of the ancient times, many traditions were lost, and most of today’s combat techniques were developed by later generations.

If Everlasting Celestial were an ancient immortal, he should be able to perform ancient supreme techniques like Everlasting Fairy, such as the Water Avoidance Technique that strips away all water, or the rather embarrassing Playing Dead Technique.

Yun Zhi had not yet crushed Everlasting Celestial with a single palm because she wanted to see what kind of attacks he could perform.

“Who are you, really!” The level of Everlasting Celestial’s panic exceeded even when his ariya-phala was taken, this power was absurdly strong.

What kind of people are in this kid’s spiritual space? The previous person mysteriously took away his ariya-phala, and the latter’s cultivation and magical power are boundless!

“Didn’t you say you would suppress me for Lu Yang?”

“You are Lu Yang’s Eldest Senior Sister?!” Everlasting Celestial’s voice rose an octave, his eyes widening as he momentarily forgot his current predicament, cursing Lu Yang shamelessly in his mind.

What kind of absurd wishes had this kid made? One more outrageous than the next. He had thought defeating Lu Yang’s Eldest Senior Sister would be a piece of cake, agreeing to possess Lu Yang upon entering.

Now, it seemed the tables had turned.

It should be Lu Yang’s Eldest Senior Sister who could easily suppress him! What a huge pitfall.

Everlasting Celestial realized that Lu Yang was not truly his follower; he had pretended to be bait, and all this while was just to lure him in.

Laughable that he thought he could possess a body perfectly suited for himself. Was the opponent a righteous undercover in the Undying Sect?

But Lu Yang’s performance in the competition did not seem fake.

Everlasting Celestial suddenly understood everything — Lu Yang was sent by another three demon sects! It all made sense now.

“Stop, stop, I give up, I’ll tell you anything you want, just spare my life!” Everlasting Celestial knelt down and begged, his mindset changing incredibly fast.

“Speak, who are you really! Why are you impersonating me!” Everlasting Fairy stopped examining the prototype of ariya-phala, excitedly running over, with Lu Yang following behind and Yun Zhi quietly listening.

All three wanted to know the answer. “I am…”

Everlasting Celestial drew out his words, capturing the attention of the three, then suddenly released all his power and turned to run, trying to break through the spiritual space barrier to escape this hellish place!

Thud—

Unsurprisingly, he hit the barrier solidly, unable to break through. Yun Zhi had anticipated this and had preemptively strengthened the integrity of Lu Yang’s spiritual space.

Everlasting Celestial’s tactic, which Daoist Non-Speaker had used many times before Yun Zhi, was ineffective.

“Still not being honest, Fairy Fist Technique!” Yellow Bean clenched her fists and pummeled Everlasting Celestial’s face like raindrops. “Not the face, not the face, I’ll really tell everything this time!”

Everlasting Celestial saw the light, realizing that admitting defeat early was better than anything, as the opponent was experienced and no tricks would work here.

“Speak, what is your name!” Yellow Bean boasted triumphantly.

“I‘m shameless.”

“Hmm? That’s quite self-aware.”
