Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 493: Young Sect Master Lu

"Heavenly Court Sect?!"

The guests were all shocked when they heard the young man announce his affiliation.

If the hottest topic among low-level cultivators in the past two months was who would stand out in the competition, then the most discussed topic among high-level cultivators was the battle in Hanshui City, where someone claiming to be the Supreme Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Court Sect, Dou Heavenly Sovereign, had appeared.

This was the first immortal to openly reveal themselves since the ancient times of the Four Immortals.

Whether it was Great Qian or Great Yu, there were legends of immortals, and the same was true for Great Xia, where it was said that an immortal resided in the forbidden palace grounds, but no one had ever seen them.

Dou Heavenly Sovereign's appearance caused a huge stir in the outside world. Whether at the Body Fusion stage or the Tribulation Crossing stage, everyone was discussing who Dou Heavenly Sovereign was and what the Heavenly Court Sect was.

There were many theories about Dou Heavenly Sovereign and the Heavenly Court Sect, but none were conclusive.

Some said the Heavenly Court Sect was an ancient organization that had recently awakened, while others said it had always existed since ancient times, hidden behind history, manipulating the rise and fall of dynasties as the mastermind behind the scenes.

Unexpectedly, today, at the grand competition hosted by the imperial court, during the Seek Tao Sect's 120,000-year celebration, the Heavenly Court Sect, uninvited, made a public appearance. How audacious!

The quick-witted among them could already smell the thick scent of gunpowder from this move.

The Heavenly Court Sect had come with ill intentions.

"Who are you?" The Immortal Fairy, acting as the sect master, controlled Lu Yang's body and sternly questioned.

Her tone carried a hint of decisive killing intent.

The young man from the Heavenly Court Sect stood in the arena, surrounded by heroes, without a trace of fear. Instead, he cupped his fists and spoke loudly.

"I presume this is the renowned Lu Yang, Master Lu. Master Lu, you are famous from a young age and have a solid foundation. If you were to participate in the competition, you would probably easily take first place. Coincidentally, we share the same surname. I am also Lu, the young sect master of the Heavenly Court Sect."

The Immortal Fairy squinted her eyes, ignoring the flattery, and replied coldly, "So it's Young Sect Master Lu. I wonder why you, Young Sect Master Lu, have come to our Seek Tao Sect to interfere with the competition. And who are those above?"

Above the arena, dark clouds hovered, and five figures stood on the clouds, expressionless, like gods or ghosts.

"I am the protector of the Heavenly Court Sect, King of the Underworld."

The King of the Underworld exuded an ominous black aura, as if he had awakened from an ancient tomb, carrying the resentment of the dead, bringing endless disaster to the world.

"I am the protector of the Heavenly Court Sect, King of Hundred Medicines."

A medicinal fragrance emanated from the King of Hundred Medicines, and one sniff was enough to tell that the origin of this fragrance was extraordinary. Without long-term contact with the Little Medicine King, this fragrance would not have developed.

"I am the protector of the Heavenly Court Sect, King of the Unbreakable."

The King of the Unbreakable resembled a golden-bodied Arhat from Buddhist stories, or perhaps he was the original form of the golden-bodied Arhat!

The King of the Unbreakable's body was robust and powerful, with no weak points to be found, representing the pinnacle of body cultivation.

"I am the protector of the Heavenly Court Sect, King of Myriad Treasures."

The King of Myriad Treasures had a string of artifacts hanging from his waist, the most conspicuous of which was a top-tier artifact that even those at the Tribulation Crossing stage would envy. It had already developed a spirit, having been refined from the soul of someone at the Tribulation Crossing stage—truly terrifying!

"I am the protector of the Heavenly Court Sect, King of Golden Flames."

Golden flames occasionally rose from the King of Golden Flames' body. These flames did not belong to the 108 types of true fire but seemed to be a fusion of all 108 types, pushing true fire to an entirely new level!

The five figures were like towering mountains, insurmountable, their auras ancient, as if from antiquity.

Yet, despite their ancient auras, anyone could see that these five kings were in their prime, far from old age. In fact, their current state might not even be their peak.

"It feels like these five haven't crossed the tribulation yet. Why don't the ancestors take them down?" The Qi Control Sect's master muttered quietly, sensitive to auras and noting that these individuals were not at the Tribulation Crossing stage.

One Qi Venerable glared at the junior, scaring him into silence, knowing he had misspoken.

One Qi Venerable then explained through voice transmission, "Do you think you're the only smart one here? Do you think all the Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators present are less perceptive than you?"

"Please enlighten me, ancestor."

"Do you know that to enter the Seek Tao Sect, one must pass the River Spirit's test? The River Spirit's methods are on par with the Tribulation Crossing stage. To sneak past him into the Seek Tao Sect is beyond the means of someone at the Body Fusion stage!"

"Do you think those who have shown themselves are all the Heavenly Court Sect has brought?"

"In my opinion, there is at least one half-immortal from the Heavenly Court Sect hiding in the shadows."

"Especially since the Seek Tao Sect has claimed to have means to deal with half-immortals, yet they haven't acted. This suggests the worst-case scenario: Dou Heavenly Sovereign is also here, perhaps right under our noses, and no one has noticed!"

The Qi Control Sect's master shuddered, his spine tingling.

"Apologies." The King of the Underworld said in a deep voice, seemingly the leader of the kings.

The five kings descended from the sky, and the surrounding people quickly made way, not daring to approach.

Feeling their terrifying auras, some prodigies could barely stand.

Young Sect Master Lu seemed oblivious to the Immortal Fairy's hostility, smiling as he replied, "Having slept since ancient times and only recently awakened, I have never met a match in my realm. I heard your sect is hosting a competition, so I came to join the fun. I hope Master Lu can forgive my uninvited arrival."

Slept since ancient times?

Hearing Young Sect Master Lu's introduction, the guests were once again shocked.

So the Heavenly Court Sect indeed came from ancient times.

Young Sect Master Lu glanced at the two prodigies in the arena and said, "These two are at the Mid Golden Elixir stage, and so am I. I will take them as my opponents. If I lose, my sect will withdraw. If I win, it proves my strength, and I will continue in the competition. What do you think?"

"Challenging two at once, Young Sect Master Lu, you have quite the confidence." The Immortal Fairy snorted coldly.

"Not allowing you to challenge would make Great Xia seem petty. Very well, if you win this match, you will earn a spot in the competition. If you lose, then get out of the Seek Tao Sect!"

At the end, the Immortal Fairy's tone grew heavier, laced with killing intent.

The prodigies below silently cheered, wanting to applaud. Young Sect Master Lu was overbearing, not taking them seriously, but Master Lu, facing the powerful Heavenly Court Sect, showed no fear and even threatened them in return.

Just for this courage alone, he surpassed everyone else!

"Well said, Master Lu. I, Qiu Jin'an, support Master Lu's stance. Since ancient times, the victor is king. If you lose, then go back to where you came from!"

The heads of the five major immortal sects and the crown prince stood up to support the Immortal Fairy.

The crowd watched as the six major righteous forces, the five major immortal sects, and the imperial court joined forces to fend off the enemy, clenching their fists in excitement.

Only Meng Jingzhou, from beginning to end, looked at the so-called Young Sect Master Lu with dead fish eyes.

The crown prince was quite nervous, doing this for the first time, hoping he hadn't shown any flaws.

Why did it feel like the people from the five major immortal sects were so familiar with this routine?
