Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 494: Chapter 493 Young Master Lu_1

“Heaven’s Court?”

All the guests were startled upon hearing the young man’s affiliation.

If the most talked about topic amongst low-level cultivators over the past two months was who could distinguish themselves in the competition, then the most discussed matter among high-level cultivators was the appearance of Dou Tianzun, who claimed to be the supreme being of Heaven’s Court, during a battle in Hanshui City.

This was the first immortal being to openly appear, other than the Four Immortals of the Ancients.

Whether it’s Great Qian or Great Yu, they’re both figures that are possibly immortals in legends. Same goes for Great Xia, with rumors that immortals reside within the forbidden area of the palace. Yet no one has ever seen one.

The appearance of Dou Tianzun caused a great stir in the outside world. Everyone, from those at the Unification Stage to those at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, were all discussing who Dou Tianzun is, and what Heaven’s Court is.

There were various speculations about Dou Tianzun and Heaven’s Court, but none have reached the consensus.

Some say Heaven’s Court is an ancient organization that has just awakened. Others propose that Heaven’s Court has been present since ancient times, always lurking behind history, manipulating the rise and fall of dynasties, and acting as the unseen hand behind everything.

What’s unexpected is that Heaven’s Court, uninvited, has openly made an appearance today at the grand competition held by the royal court and the 120,000-year celebration of the Seek Dao Sect. How bold of them!

Those with nimble minds could smell a strong scent of gunpowder from this act.

Heaven’s Court is boding something ill.

“Who are you?” Fairy Eternity, serving as Acting Sect Master, controlled Lu Yang’s body and asked sternly.

There was a hint of decisive killing intent hidden in her tone.

The youth from Heaven’s Court stood unwavering on the stage, surrounded by a crowd of strong figures. Without showing any fear, he responded loudly with a clenched fist.

“Presumably, this is the well-known Sect Master Lu. Sect Master Lu’s fame was earned at a young age, with a firm foundation. If you participate in the competition, you might easily secure the first place. What a coincidence, I share the same surname. I am the Young Master of our sect.”

Fairy Eternity narrowed her eyes, ignoring his flattery. She spoke in a frosty voice, “So it’s Young Master Lu. I wonder why you came to our Seek Dao Sect and disrupted the competition. What do you aim for with these people above us?”

Hovering above the stage were dark clouds, standing within them were five stern figures, with somber expressions, almost like deities.

“I am Heaven’s Court protector, the Dark Ghost Heavenly King.”

The Dark Ghost Heavenly King exuded an ominous black mist, as though he had just awoken from an ancient tomb, carrying the resentment of the dead and bringing endless disaster to the world.

“I am Heaven’s Court protector, the Hundred Medicine Heavenly King.”

The fragrance of medicine exuded from the Hundred Medicine Heavenly King. The aroma’s origin was significant. Without frequent exposure to the Little Medicinal Kings, such a scent could not be cultivated.

“I am Heaven’s Court protector, the Invincible Heavenly King.”

The Invincible Heavenly King was like an Arhat of golden body in the Buddhist tales, or perhaps, he was the original form of the golden body Arhat! The Invincible Heavenly King’s physique was vigorous and strong, with no traces of Barrier Door found anywhere on his body, representing the limit of the Body Cultivators.

“I am Heaven’s Court protector, the Multi-treasure Heavenly King.”

The Multi-treasure Heavenly King wore a string of magic artifacts around his waist. The most eye-catching of them all was a top-tier magic artifact, which could even make Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivators envious. This artifact had already developed its own spirit, obtained through the refinement of a Transcendance Tribulation stage soul. It was truly terrifying!

“I am Heaven’s Court protector, the Golden Flame Heavenly King.”

Golden flames occasionally twirled around the Golden Flame Heavenly King’s body. These flames were not any of the 108 True Fires, but rather a combination of all 108, bringing the True Fire to a whole new realm!

The five figures seemed like towering mountains, unreachable. Their auras were ancient, as if they hailed from primeval times.

Just ancient auras. Anyone could tell these five Heavenly Kings were in their prime and far from senility; even their current state might not be their peak.

“How come our ancestors didn’t make a move to rob these five people who haven’t passed the tribulation yet?” the Sect Leader of the Control Qi Sect murmured. He was especially sensitive to auras, and he noted these individuals weren’t at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

The One Qi Venerable shot the Sect Leader a glare, frightening him into silence for saying the wrong thing.

Only then did the One Qi Venerable explain through telepathic communication, “And you think you’re smart? Are you more knowledgeable than all the other cultivators at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage present here?”

“Could the venerable ancestor please enlighten me?”

“Do you realize that to enter the Seek Dao Sect, one must pass through the River Spirit, whose powers are comparable to that of those at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage? Anyone who can slip past the River Spirit into the Seek Dao Sect can’t possibly be at the Unification Stage!”

“Do you think the ones who have revealed themselves are all the members of Heaven’s Court present here?”

“From what I see, there’s at least one Semi-Immortal from Heaven’s Court lurking in the shadows.”

“Particularly since the Seek Dao Sect has said they have methods to deal with a Semi-Immortal, but haven’t made a move this time. This may be the worst-case scenario. Perhaps Dou Tianzun is also here, possibly right under our noses, and no one has noticed!”

The Sect Leader of the Control Qi Sect shivered, his spine going cold as he listened.

“Excuse us.” The Dark Ghost Heavenly King spoke in a deep voice, seemingly the leader of the five Heavenly Kings.

The five Heavenly Kings descended from the sky, causing the surrounding people to swiftly make a clearance. They dared not approach them.

The intimidating auras emanating from them made some of the geniuses find it hard to stead their stance.

Young Master Lu appeared oblivious to the hostility shown by Fairy Eternity. With a smile on his face, he responded, “Having slept since ancient times, I haven’t found a match since I awakened. Recently, I heard that your esteemed sect is hosting a competition, and decided to join the fun. So, I am here uninvited, and I hope Sect Master Lu doesn’t mind.”

Slept since ancient times?

Upon hearing Young Master Lu’s introduction, the guests were shocked once again.

This Heaven’s Court indeed originates from ancient times.

Young Master Lu glanced at the two geniuses on the stage. He then said, “These two are at the mid-stage of the Golden Core. Coincidentally, I am also at the same stage. With these two as my opponents, if I lose, we, the Heaven’s Court, will leave. If I win, it proves my strength, and I will continue in the competition. What do you think?”

“Battling two with one, Young Master Lu, that’s quite a boast of yours.” Fairy Eternity scoffed.

“If we refuse to let you challenge, it will make us, Great Xia, seem petty. Fine then, if you win this match, you shall have the qualification to participate. If you lose, leave the Seek Dao Sect immediately!”

At the end of her words, Fairy Eternity’s tone was heavy and hinted at a killing intent.

The geniuses under the stage muttered ‘well said’ in their hearts, wishing they could applaud on the spot. Young Master Lu’s imposing demeanor hadn’t put them, the geniuses, in his eyes. Facing the powerful Heaven’s Court, Sect Master Lu didn’t display even a hint of fear. Instead, she threatened the Heaven’s Court.

Just based on this courage and insight, she surpassed all of them!

“Very well said, Sect Master Lu. I, Qiu Jin’an, support Sect Master Lu’s viewpoint. Since ancient times, the winner rules and the loser suffers. If you lose, retreat from whence you came!”

The leaders of the Five Great Immortal Sects and the crown prince stood up to support Fairy Eternity. @@novelbin@@

Everyone glowed with excitement as they looked at the six major forces of the Righteous Path, including the Five Great Immortal Sects and the royal court, joining hands to face the enemy.

Only Meng Jingzhou, from start to finish, was staring at the so-called Young Master Lu with dead fish eyes.

The crown prince was feeling somewhat uneasy. It was his first time doing such a thing. He wondered if he had revealed any flaws. Why did the people of the Five Great Immortal Sects seem so skilled with this?
