Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 883: Defeating the Unbeatable Nascent Soul

“Damn it, fighting yourself is really tough. Fortunately, the Unbeatable Nascent Soul isn’t too bright.” After that series of explosive moves, Lu Yang was almost unable to hold on.

To be precise, the Unbeatable Nascent Soul didn’t have a brain; it was Lu Yang’s theoretical peak state.

However, this was limited to techniques. Although it was highly adaptable, it still fell short of Lu Yang’s.

This was a method Lu Yang had devised mid-battle. No matter how adaptable the Unbeatable Nascent Soul was, it couldn’t match Lu Yang’s flexibility and ingenuity. The clearest evidence was the Unbeatable Nascent Soul freezing for a moment at this sight, unable to react.

Moreover, the theoretical peak state didn’t completely translate to reality. The Unbeatable Nascent Soul could only use the power it possessed. But Lu Yang was different; he could borrow power from his physical body!

Less capable in adaptability and borrowing power—these were the Unbeatable Nascent Soul’s two major weaknesses.

If he still couldn’t defeat the Unbeatable Nascent Soul with this strategy, Lu Yang figured he might as well use the Everlasting Immortal Fairy Animal Form Fist to trounce it. After all, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy wouldn’t lend her power to the Unbeatable Nascent Soul, so it couldn’t use the Everlasting Immortal Fairy Animal Form Fist.

Fall behind once, and you fall behind at every step. After suffering that punch from Lu Yang, the Unbeatable Nascent Soul lost the initiative again. It also wanted to perform the Lu Yang Animal Form Fist to restore its mental power quickly, but Lu Yang didn’t give it the chance to do so.

Employing Sword Dao and spells in tandem, Lu Yang drove the Unbeatable Nascent Soul back repeatedly, its aura dwindling.

Boom!

Once again, Lu Yang sent the Unbeatable Nascent Soul flying, and it crashed through a pillar in the great hall.

Lu Yang pressed his advantage. Unexpectedly, as if foreseeing its defeat, the Unbeatable Nascent Soul took a step forward and vanished into thin air!

Lu Yang’s pupils constricted. He instantly figured out what technique the Unbeatable Nascent Soul had executed.

“Close Horizon From Cliff?!”

This was the first spatial divine ability Lu Yang had learned, capable of randomly transporting him to some cliff. However, due to its extreme unpredictability and the fact that Lu Yang had other ways to handle danger, he avoided using it where possible. Since learning this move, it had been left to gather dust.

Who would have thought? The Unbeatable Nascent Soul used this spell to flee first before I thought of using it.

Previously, when the Unbeatable Nascent Soul was subdued by the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, it hadn’t employed this technique because the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was too powerful, leaving it no time to do so.

But Lu Yang and the Unbeatable Nascent Soul were closely matched, easily giving the Unbeatable Nascent Soul an opportunity to escape during battle.

“Don’t think you can escape like this! Close Horizon From Cliff!”

Although the locations of the cliffs were random, the Unbeatable Nascent Soul was ultimately a part of Lu Yang. Wherever the Unbeatable Nascent Soul went, Lu Yang would go too.

Lu Yang’s true form took a step forward and also disappeared from the mental space. Since the Unbeatable Nascent Soul had run from his body, there was no longer a need to fight it in his soul form.

~~~

“Hmm? Where is this?” After taking one step forward, Lu Yang found himself surrounded by utter darkness. Looking up, he saw only a sliver of sky.

He stood on a stone platform jutting out from the side of a sheer cliff. Beside the platform was a cave.

Lu Yang’s intuition told him that the Unbeatable Nascent Soul was hiding deep within this cave.

Using the Three Flavor True Fire to illuminate the cave, he saw that its interior was covered in spider webs, and countless bats hung from the ceiling. Startled by the true fire, all the bats flew out in a rush, like a dark cloud.

A stone stele was erected deep inside the cave.

Lu Yang examined the stele. The general meaning of the inscription was that its author was a mighty cultivation expert who had gone into seclusion here to break through to a higher realm. Unfortunately, he failed, perishing with his Dao extinguished. Before his demise, he left a trial. Whoever passed it would become his successor, inheriting all his legacy.

Lu Yang recited the last line word by word. “My successor, if you have obtained my legacy, it signifies that you possess wisdom, courage, and a Dao Heart. I believe you will surely fulfil your shifu’s lifelong wish in the future—to become a Nascent Soul cultivator...”

The stele’s owner was only at the Golden Core Stage. No arrangement he left behind could escape Lu Yang’s spiritual consciousness. With a brief scan, he saw the legacy hidden beneath the stele: a cultivation manual, a storage ring of unknown contents, and a bag of spirit stones.

“It’s actually an incomplete cultivation manual.” Lu Yang was surprised, quickly browsing the manual with his spiritual consciousness.

This is truly a remarkable fortuitous opportunity! If completed, this cultivation manual can lead to the Divine Transfiguration Stage! Furthermore, even if this is completed, it is only the first half of the cultivation manual. Combining both halves of the cultivation manual could support one up to the Fusion Stage!

Lu Yang soon tossed the matter of the legacy to the back of his mind. When he extended his spiritual consciousness, he successfully found the Unbeatable Nascent Soul hiding behind the stele.

Realizing it had been discovered by Lu Yang, the Unbeatable Nascent Soul transformed into a streak of lightning and dashed out of the cave.

“Don’t run!”

Lu Yang was hot on its heels. Man and infant hugged the cliff, rushing straight toward the slit of sky.

Just as Lu Yang was about to catch up with the Unbeatable Nascent Soul, he heard an “Ah—” from above the cliff edge. A herb gatherer with a basket on his back had accidentally fallen.

Lu Yang gave up on chasing the Unbeatable Nascent Soul and went to catch the herb gatherer.

“That was close. You’re lucky to meet me. If you had fallen like that, the branches growing on the cliff might not have caught you.”

After bidding farewell to the bewildered herb gatherer, Lu Yang resumed pursuing the Unbeatable Nascent Soul.

The Unbeatable Nascent Soul continuously executed Close Horizon From Cliff to flee, and Lu Yang employed the same move in pursuit. They fought in different cliff crevices, occasionally encountering hidden blood pools capable of awakening bloodlines, masterless growth-type magical treasures, and elders reduced to souls at the bottom of cliffs...

And just when Lu Yang was about to catch up to the Unbeatable Nascent Soul, he would keep encountering someone falling from the cliffs—a dragon-human, a young cultivator, and a young heir despised by his clan...

Lu Yang could only rescue them first, then continue the chase.

Fortunately, no one fell from the same cliff consecutively. After five cliffs, he finally caught up to the Unbeatable Nascent Soul.

“Still trying to run?!”

Without the support of pills, the Unbeatable Nascent Soul’s energy was long depleted. In contrast, Lu Yang had continuously consumed pills and was in high spirits.

A gigantic hand crashed down as if the sky was collapsing. Unfazed, Lu Yang decisively swung his sword. Sword qi transformed into a dragon and soared through the sky, shattering the formidable yet weak palm and pinning the Unbeatable Nascent Soul onto the cliff face.

“You lost.” With an impassive visage, Lu Yang floated before the Unbeatable Nascent Soul and pointed the Qingfeng Sword at it, its tip gleaming intimidatingly.

The Unbeatable Nascent Soul lowered its head in defeat and obediently flew back into the mental space.

“Strange, why do I still feel like I can’t control the Unbeatable Nascent Soul?”

Although he had defeated the Unbeatable Nascent Soul, and it had become docile, Lu Yang couldn’t help but feel that something was amiss, as though the Unbeatable Nascent Soul wasn’t entirely obedient and under his command.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy pondered briefly. This wasn’t something she had encountered before. It shouldn’t be the case though.

“Oh, this immortal gets it! This immortal defeated the Unbeatable Nascent Soul first; you defeated it later. To fully control it, you still need to defeat this immortal!”

Lu Yang, “...”

Immortal Fairy, you’re doing this on purpose, right?

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy giggled as she leaned close to Lu Yang’s livid face, offering an apologetic smile. “Aiya, Xiao Yangzi, don’t be angry. How about you hit this immortal once?”

Lu Yang eyed the Everlasting Immortal Fairy suspiciously and gave her a light push.

Staggering back two steps, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy weakly collapsed onto the bed, covering her face as she drawled, “Aiya—this immortal has lost.”

On this day, Lu Yang defeated the Unbeatable Nascent Soul and the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, achieving a feat unprecedented in history.
