Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 836: Borrowing Without Returning

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy had issued her command, and the Unbeatable Nascent Soul dared not disobey.

The Unbeatable Nascent Soul conjured a hundred-zhang sword qi that swept across the assembly of heroes, stirring a sword gale. Leaves rustled incessantly, unsettling everyone’s hearts.

“A nascent soul can unleash such terrifying sword qi?” Everyone was astounded by Lu Yang’s cultivation in the Sword Dao and hastily controlled their own nascent souls.

With tacit understanding, they chose to have their nascent souls evade the attack.

Unlike the Unbeatable Nascent Soul, ordinary nascent souls couldn’t fight autonomously; cultivators needed to divert part of their attention to their nascent souls. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

This gave the Everlasting Immortal Fairy an opening.

Seizing the moment while everyone controlled their nascent souls, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy struck boldly. If she were a starving wolf, these scions were a flock of lambs. Like a lamb among sheep, she struck whoever she saw.

“Take this fist!”

The Immortal Fairy Fist Technique appeared soft but was actually multifaceted and immensely powerful.

“So the Unbeatable Nascent Soul really can be used this way. This immortal didn’t guess it wrong back then,” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy muttered softly.

“Immortal Fairy, what did you say?” Lu Yang didn’t catch her words.

“Ah, nothing. I said you need to cultivate diligently and defeat your Unbeatable Nascent Soul as soon as possible.”

“...Doesn’t this count as me defeating the Unbeatable Nascent Soul?” Lu Yang remembered the Everlasting Immortal Fairy saying she was his second nascent soul.

Since the second nascent soul defeated the first, doesn’t that mean I have also defeated it?

“It doesn’t work like that.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy displayed rare logical clarity as she explained the reason to Lu Yang. “You see, this immortal helped you defeat the Unbeatable Nascent Soul, so it obeys my commands, not yours.

“And you have to obey my commands. So your relationship with the Unbeatable Nascent Soul is one of parity; there doesn’t exist a problem of who commands whom.”

Lu Yang understood. To control the Unbeatable Nascent Soul, I have two choices: either make the Everlasting Immortal Fairy obey me, or defeat the Unbeatable Nascent Soul.

Comparing the two, the second method has a higher probability of success.

In the real world, everyone was overwhelmed. The Unbeatable Nascent Soul’s attacks were too fierce. To prevent their nascent souls from being injured, they had to concentrate on controlling them.

But once they focused on dealing with the Unbeatable Nascent Soul, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was left unattended.

“Half of the people deal with Lu Yang’s nascent soul, and the other half deal with Lu Yang himself!” someone yelled. To break the stalemate, they had to unite and act in concert.

This person was called Lin Zhongren, son of the Justice Court Grand Judge. Although he paled in comparison to Zhong Yi and the others, he was still considered fairly outstanding among his peers in the imperial city.

Now that Zhong Yi, Luo Wushuang, and Sun Chuanxian had fallen one after another, and An Nan’er remained seated beside Meng Jingyu with no intention to fight, someone had to step forward and take charge of the situation.

Lin Zhongren stepped forth to command the crowd, and everyone reluctantly acknowledged him.

“Wait, where is Lu Yang’s nascent soul?!”

To their astonishment, the Unbeatable Nascent Soul had vanished before their very eyes.

Suddenly, Lin Zhongren was struck by something. He was sent flying backward, slamming into an ancient tree.

“It’s Lu Yang’s nascent soul! Lu Yang’s nascent soul has turned invisible!” Someone reacted quickly, guessing what had happened.

The Unbeatable Nascent Soul could use most of Lu Yang’s techniques. At the Foundation Establishment Stage, Lu Yang had attempted to learn a move called Invisibility Incantation, which hid only the body, but not clothes. Due to its overly niche and dubious utility, Lu Yang seldom used it.

But the Unbeatable Nascent Soul was different. It had no clothes, so it could employ it without reservation.

Lin Zhongren had wanted to step up and lead, but he was sent flying by the Unbeatable Nascent Soul. This threw the crowd into chaos again. Some dealt with the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, while others searched for the Unbeatable Nascent Soul. Others even tried to step forward to take the lead, only to be defeated by the Unbeatable Nascent Soul.

In the mental state, Lu Yang was pensive. To capture rebels, first capture their leader. Although the Unbeatable Nascent Soul seems to lack intelligence, it can rely on instinct to make the most reasonable responses.

The Unbeatable Nascent Soul unleashed techniques without restraint while using “Swallowing Heaven” to devour the spirit energy in Luotian Forest. Everyone else’s rate of spirit energy absorption couldn’t compare. Soon, Luotian Forest’s spirit energy was depleted. Everyone’s spirit energy dwindled with each use and was no longer replenishable. Anyone who took out spirit stones to absorb the spirit energy within would have the spirit stones snatched away by the Unbeatable Nascent Soul.

Watching from afar, Meng Jingzhou slapped his thigh. “Old Lu’s nascent soul is practically carved from the same mold as him!”

If I search my conscience and ask myself honestly, I know I definitely can’t do something so unscrupulous.

The Unbeatable Nascent Soul and the Everlasting Immortal Fairy applied both mental and physical pressure. Even if one ignored the Unbeatable Nascent Soul and focused on challenging the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, it was pointless; she was too formidable.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy moved with tiger-like strides and dragon-like bearing, looking down upon the world and knocking down opponents with every punch. “This esteemed one told you long ago—you all are not up to it.

“Heaven and earth harbor great tribulations. This esteemed one was born in response, ordained by fate. How could you ordinary mortals be my match?

“However, considering you all possess some talent, you barely qualify to become subjects of the Great Dou Dynasty.”

Be it those who had already collapsed onto the ground or those about to collapse onto the ground, everyone was taken aback by the last sentence.

What in the world is the Great Dou Dynasty? Why haven’t we heard of it before?

“The Great Dou Dynasty is the dynasty this esteemed one intends to establish. It is the rightful orthodoxy of the world. You all may address this esteemed one as the Dou Emperor.”

It was the first time anyone had witnessed someone openly declare their intention to establish a new dynasty.

Completely disregarding Great Xia, huh?

This Lu Yang is too audacious; he’s even more lawless than the Taciturn Daoist Priest!

Lu Yang gazed helplessly at the mental space’s ceiling, feeling his reputation was tarnished.

“Is no one willing to join this esteemed one’s dynasty?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was somewhat disappointed. It seems only the Second-in-Command is willing to join the Great Dou Dynasty.

What a loyal subject.

No one had the will to fight further. Beaten by the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, they discarded their armor and returned in defeat.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy recalled the Unbeatable Nascent Soul and placed her hands on her hips, looking smugly at the fleeing scions. “Hmph, trying to fight this immortal? You’re far too early for that!”

In the mental space, Lu Yang wore an ingratiating expression as he negotiated with the almighty Everlasting Immortal Fairy.

“Your Exalted Majesty, the fight is over. Your subject’s body...”

To his surprise, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy looked like she wasn’t satisfied. “This imperial city seems quite fun, Xiao Yangzi. Let’s discuss—how about lending me this body to play a bit longer?”

“Ah? That...wouldn’t be so good, right?” Lu Yang hesitated. If I let the Immortal Fairy use my body again, how much worse would my reputation become?

Noticing that Lu Yang was reluctant to lend his body, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy changed tactics. “Lass Yun promised me that I can be acting sect leader for a year. This immortal has decided to use that chance now. In my capacity as acting sect leader, I now command you: hand over your body.”

After returning from the East Sea, Yun Zhi believed the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s immense contributions allowed her to serve as the acting sect leader for a year. Back then, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had said she would save the opportunity for later.

Lu Yang, “...”

Immortal Fairy, you deliberately saved this chance to become acting sect leader just so that you can order me around, didn’t you?

“Your subject obeys the decree.”
