Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 367: Chapter 366: Taishang Sword_1

High in the sky, six Unification Stage great powers were battling, each displaying their divine abilities. The cultivators below watched in dazzlement. Even Lu Yang and his group watched the battle with undivided attention. After all, combat between Unification Stage powers was an extremely rare sight.

However, there was only one person who was not interested in watching the battle. He was gnashing his teeth and glaring relentlessly at the ancient husband and wife cultivators.

“Damn ancient cultivators, they are everywhere!” Vice Headmaster Shi of the BBQ Restaurant almost wished he could join the battle, beat the ancient wife and husband cultivators, and preferably turn them into a corpse puppet, which could help relieve his anger.

No matter the outcome of this battle, the government office would conduct a meticulous investigation here. For security reasons, the Qingzhou grand ceremony would certainly end hastily.

The Qingzhou grand ceremony was supposed to last for eight days, but it was now about to end after just two days.

He came to Qingzhou for onsite inspection, to see if the BBQ Restaurant had any market here, what was the favorite type of barbecue in Qingzhou and prepare according to local conditions.

Indeed, the BBQ Restaurant was very popular among the people of Qingzhou, with an optimistic future.

He also planned to use the Qingzhou grand ceremony to make the BBQ restaurant famous and open up the Qingzhou market.

Now everything turned out to be only empty talk.

“Ancient cultivators, eh? Just don’t let me run into you!”

Whether in terms of cultivation level or fighting power, he was much higher than the three deputy sect leaders. If he joined the battle, it would be a one-sided victory.

Unfortunately, due to his special status, he couldn’t participate in the fight.

If his real identity was revealed, he would be doomed.

…

“Daylight usurping!” The male cultivator formed a seal with both his hands, and suddenly, dense clouds filled the sky, obscuring the sunlight. The sky instantly became pitch-black. One couldn’t see their hands in front of their faces. In the darkness, one could hear eerie teeth grinding sounds, as if a gigantic creature was chewing on bones.

“Hundred ghost night walk!” Another voice shouted. It was the female cultivator. She exuded an endless stream of black aura. Batch by batch, the dark aura floated in the air, slowly converging into various forms of ghostly shapes.

Ghouls, succubus, knife ghost, headless ghost, corpse driving ghost…

The hundred ghosts were silent, deathly somber, as if an army of the undead was about to overturn the mortal world.

If there were no rules hindering them, the dead aura of the hundred ghosts would turn the entire mountain into a desolate one, with no survivors.

Even those who knew that there would be no impact below were so scared that they were trembling and wanted to flee.

“Let me tell you, don’t be afraid, we’re under the protection of the Governor. All this is nothing but a small trick that cannot hold up to scrutiny.” The Unification Stage cultivator maintaining the rules said to Lu Yang and his group.

They learned through communication that the other party’s name was Xia Qun, an early Unification Stage cultivator.

“Besides, the Governor has the State Destiny. It’s more than enough to deal with these ancient Unification Stage cultivators who haven’t seen the world. I wonder when I’ll get a chance to become a Governor.”

“You don’t have to be cautious with me. I actually have predestined relationships with your Five Great Immortal Sects and can be considered your half Senior Brother.”

“Mr. Xia joined the Immortal Sect before?” Lan Ting asked curiously.

“Well, not really. But I did participate in the entrance examination once. You know, the questions were damn difficult, and I was eliminated after the first round. I was almost your Senior Brother, so it is not too much to be regarded as half a Senior Brother, right?”

Lan Ting: “…”

“Initially, I also wanted to go to the Seek Dao Sect to try. On the way, I accidentally participated in the imperial exams and got selected. That’s how I started my officialdom career.” Xia Qun was quite talkative and made Lu Yang’s group feel a lot less tense.

“Indeed, what an evil demon!” The governor raised his great seal, with endless force pouring into his body. His aura rose continuously, which made ancient husband and wife cultivators feel startled. The governor’s aura was very close to the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.

The governor’s body scattered trickles of light, as if to illuminate the darkness with the first light of dawn. The trickles of light suddenly surged, dispersing the darkness, eliminating all the deathly aura from the hundred ghosts. However, the ghosts were still there, with their weapons, showing their might.

Behind the male cultivator, there was a ghost with a weird figure. It was as large as a mountain, holding a bone club, able to pluck the sun, moon, and stars down.

“Charge!” Under the command of the female cultivator, the army of hundred ghosts advanced towards the Governor’s side.

“Leave these people to me, Multi-Storey Temple!” Master Zhang stood in the front, making strange sounds from his nose.

A golden temple appeared over the hundred ghosts, spreading infinite aura, causing the hundred ghost army to wail. Half of them died here.

“Truly worthy of the Multistorey Temple, which frequently deals with ghost problems, the Multi-storey Temple is still very effective against ghosts.” Dean Hong laughed, and opened the “Words of the Saint”. Each character from the book came alive and charged towards the remaining hundred ghost troops.

“The methods of the scholars are amazing. They summon soldiers with words. What a shame that I, as a crude person, can’t learn this method.” Sect Leader Mi watched Dean Hong fighting by just moving his fingers with envy.

“If you can’t learn it, then you can’t learn it.” Sect Leader Mi roared, rushing like a madman. His eyes were blurry, and he lost his sanity. He pounced on the female cultivator like a monkey.

The female cultivator countered with a punch, and to her surprise, Sect Leader Mi, who was at mid-stage Unification, was almost as strong as her, a peak Unification Stage cultivator.

“It seems he has temporarily lost his sanity in exchange for power.” The female cultivator was not simple either. After a brief battle, she could tell what method Sect Leader Mi was using.

“Nothing to fear!” Combat was not just about power.

“What about adding the two of us?” After they dealt with the hundred ghosts, Master Zhang and Dean Hong rushed up and surrounded the female cultivator.

On the other side of the battlefield, the province governor summoned a Saint of Mountain-Moving, who hurled a mountain toward the ghoul of a male cultivator. The ghoul fought back with its bone club. The mountain was, in fact, a manifestation of the nation’s destiny and exploded immediately upon touching the bone club. The explosion sent a blast wave skyward, dispersing the dark clouds above.

The province governor then called upon an Ax-Wielding Saint who swung his great ax toward the male cultivator. The cultivator’s face changed as he pulled the ghoul in front of him to block the blow, causing black blood to flow from its chest.

“Hmm, crafting law phases in such an atrocious fashion sure takes some skill.” Fairy Eternity ridiculed, sneering at the male cultivator’s method.

“Or does it mean he actually likes taking on such an appearance?”

“So, who’s winning?” Lu Yang asked quietly.

“Naturally, it would be Great Xia’s side. The overall strength of Great Xia surpasses the other side, and with the Destiny of the state aiding them. How could ancient cultivators even compare?”

“Really?” Lu Yang reflected, feeling that something was amiss.

“You forced this upon yourself!” The male cultivator, enraged, pulled out a golden pair of scissors from his bosom. The scissors transformed into a pair of golden dragons that soared in the sky, letting off roars which disrupted the flow of Spiritual Energy on the battlefield.

The appearance of the golden dragons was like dropping a stone into a tranquil lake, causing ripples that spread across the entire body of water.

The Spiritual Energy across the entire Qingzhou region was fluctuating.

“A magic artifact forged by a Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivator!” The province governor had seen such artifacts in the Imperial City, even someone at the Unification Stage needed to expend a significant cost to utilize these artifacts.

“Luckily we sacrificed an entire city worth of people in our slumber. Otherwise, activating the Golden Dragon Scissors would have been rather difficult.”

“Go!” The male cultivator commanded the two golden dragons to coil around the ghoul’s arms and charged at the province governor.

The governor wielded the Destiny of the State, which transformed into a long sword that was as long as a river. The side of the sword was inscribed with the word “populace” on one side and “mountains and rivers” on the other.

“The Taishang Sword projection! The province governor is staking his life on this!” Xia Qun exclaimed in alarm, “To use the Taishang Sword projection once, the province governor will not be able to engage in sexual intercourse for three months.”

“Let me tell you, invoking the Taishang Sword phantom comes at a heavy price, but the effect is absolutely impressive. Unless there’s a Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivator, the province governor could potentially slay both these ancient cultivators with just the phantom projection of the Taishang Sword.”

The Taishang Sword projection clashed with the golden dragons and the ghoul, their radiance was so brilliant that everyone present had to close their eyes.

“Who won?” Everyone could not discern which side was stronger.

As the smoke cleared, the Taishang Sword projection shattered, the golden dragons disappeared, the Golden Dragon Scissors were broken, the ghoul was cut in half, black blood flowed unstoppably, and the male cultivator was seriously injured, spitting blood.

On the other hand, the province governor looked vibrant, as if nothing had happened.

“The governor won!” The cultivators below cheered. Sect Leader Mi and others sighed in relief. Should the governor have been defeated, it would have been nearly impossible to stop these two ancient cultivators.

Clap——Clap——Clap——

The rhythmic clapping resounded, the sound being faint but overshadowed all other noises. With the third clap, the entire scene felt as quiet as ice.

A figure appeared in the center of the battlefield in red attire, his footsteps echoing in thin air. When examined with Spiritual Sense, no trace of spiritual essence could be detected within his body, he seemed like an ordinary person.

But how could an ordinary person show up here?

The figure in red smiled, slowly speaking, “I’ve heard that the Destiny of Great Xia is extraordinary. Today, seeing it live truly is remarkable. Able to protect many lives, raises one’s Realm and combat power, and can also transform into a sharp phantom sword.”

“I couldn’t quite decipher what kind of sword this is, but it was able to sever a Transcendence Tribulation Stage artifact with a mere phantom. I reckon its actual self is beyond the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.”

“It seems that my careful arrangement of this battle has not been in vain, and I’ve reaped quite the harvest.”

The governor’s expression turned grave, as if facing a formidable adversary: “You arranged this?”

He was puzzled. The Secret Realm had been inspected once and deemed safe, without any slumbering ancient cultivators. So, where did these two ancient cultivators come from?

Now it all made sense, someone was behind these two ancient cultivators.

Meng Jingzhou, who was below, was somewhat flustered: “From the grave look on the governor’s face, we can tell that the person on the other side is at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.”

If a cultivator at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage starts a massacre here, who could possibly stop him?

“What should we do?” Meng Jingzhou sent a message to Lu Yang.

“It’s okay, the other side can’t do much.” Lu Yang radiated confidence.

“Where does your confidence come from?”

Meng Jingzhou turned his head in surprise.

Only to see a stoic, incredibly beautiful woman standing next to Lu Yang.

Xia Qun, standing to the side, didn’t dare to make a sound.

“Eldest Senior Sister?!”

Lu Yang had long thought that something was being plotted behind the scenes, so just in case, he had called Eldest Senior Sister over in advance.
