Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

“This shouldn’t be happening! Following the ritual I taught back in ancient times, there shouldn’t be any issues. What’s going on?”

Everlasting Fairy, acknowledging her mistake, began to search for the problem and find a solution to avoid repeating the error in the future.

“I understand now. The barbarians I knew in ancient times were the first-generation barbarians, with pure bloodlines directly blessed by me.”

“After 300,000 years of inheritance, the proportion of my divine blessing in the ancient barbarian bloodline has diminished significantly. By now, it’s very low.”

“So, when my blessing was strong, it suppressed the monsters, but now with the lower blessing, the monsters retaliate against it?”

“These monsters bully the weak and fear the strong! How did Qilin Immortal manage these beasts? They show me no respect at all!”

The more Everlasting Fairy thought about it, the angrier she became. She decided that when she found Qilin Immortal, she would give him a good lesson.

“Fairy, is there a way to make Barbarian Bone’s ancient barbarian bloodline go dormant again?” Lu Yang anticipated the trouble that activating the ancient barbarian bloodline might bring.

Given the outrageous deeds Everlasting Fairy had done while alive, it was normal to have enemies.

Once Everlasting Fairy was gone, her enemies would come sniffing around.

Everlasting Fairy pondered, “I hadn’t considered this problem before. Let me think… Shouting ‘Qilin Immortal is a bastard’ won’t work; it might draw more hatred.”

“Oh, right! By having Barbarian Bone continually shout ‘Everlasting Fairy lives forever,’ he can further activate his bloodline, eventually reaching a level that can suppress the monsters!”

Lu Yang thought this method sounded quite unreliable.

“Let’s fight. It’s just six Golden Core stage monsters; the four of us can handle it.” Lu Yang sighed, admitting his cheat skill had failed, and began to formulate a battle plan.

“Meng Jingzhou and I will each take on two Golden Core stage monsters. Junior Sister Peach and Barbarian Bone, you each handle one of the late-Golden Core stage monsters. Yes, those two are your responsibility.”

They had come to the forest seeking battle opportunities. Now, they were simply advancing their plan slightly ahead of schedule; it wasn’t a big deal.

Peach Blossom Leaf and Barbarian Bone felt immense pressure. They had never fought against Golden Core stage monsters before.

Barbarian Bone was under the most pressure. He said helplessly, “Brother Lu, I have no objections to your battle plan, but I have one question.”

“What is it?”

“These six monsters seem to be targeting me. How do we fight?”

Lu Yang: “… The three of us will go first and leave one for you.”

……

A giant patterned python, about ten meters long, hissed as it flicked its tongue, its eyes cold. Its body coiled and moved swiftly on the ground, aiming to entangle Barbarian Bone.

It had never met Barbarian Bone before, but its bloodline origin kept telling it that this person was very dangerous and needed to be killed.

So, it had to kill this person!

But he was just a late-Foundation Building stage cultivator!

It tightly wrapped around Barbarian Bone, making it difficult for him to breathe, his face turning blue. Suddenly, the python felt its body lighten, and Barbarian Bone disappeared from its coils.

The python’s pupils contracted, realizing something was wrong.

It had unknowingly fallen into an illusion!

“Your opponent is me.”

A graceful figure stood behind the python, holding a red paper umbrella, looking like a beauty from a painting.

The python turned sharply, ready to attack Peach Blossom Leaf, only to see more graceful figures emerging behind her, surrounding it.

It had fallen into another illusion!

……

Lu Yang walked slowly towards two monsters, sword in hand, the tip tracing a straight line on the ground.

Suddenly, Lu Yang flicked his sword upward, sending a cloud of dust into the eyes of the two monsters.

The two monsters extended their spiritual senses to locate Lu Yang.

However, they couldn’t find Lu Yang. Instead, they saw a fierce tiger holding a peerless sword in its mouth.

Lu Family’s Shape-Imitating Fist, First Style—Tiger Fist!

The two monsters were momentarily stunned, not expecting this turn of events.

In that brief moment of distraction, the tiger charged forward with the sword in its mouth, aiming to slice the throats of the two monsters!

The monsters hurriedly dodged, but the Qingfeng Sword still grazed their hides, cutting a gash in their prized fur, causing blood to flow.

The two monsters weren’t pushovers. They tensed the muscles around their wounds, using their muscular control to immediately seal the injury!

At the Golden Core stage, one could control every part of their body!

This was why Lu Yang said their Fusion Battle Technique would only be perfected at the Golden Core stage.

The tiger’s claws were already sharp enough to tear flesh and bone. Now, with the addition of the sword in its mouth, its combat power increased significantly!

Adding a sword to a tiger! (TL Note: This is a play on the famous saying 如虎添翼 which means adding wings to a tiger aka doubling the power)

The two monsters searched for the tiger but couldn’t find it.

Where was it?

One of the monsters finally reacted, staring at the ground. Just as it was about to spread its spiritual sense to check, the tiger emerged from the ground and thrust the sword forward!

It directly severed one of the monster’s front legs!

The two monsters tried to counterattack, but the tiger jumped back into the earth.

For Lu Yang, who had mastered the Shrinking Earth technique, the ground wasn’t earth but a water pool!

……

Barbarian Bone faced an armored monster, about as tall as a person, with scales like fish but finer, resembling a pangolin’s scales.

The armored monster roared and charged at Barbarian Bone.

Unwilling to back down, Barbarian Bone shouted, “Bless me, Everlasting Fairy,” and charged at the armored monster.

The armored monster had never seen such bravery in a human. A mere late-Foundation Building stage human dared to compete with it in physical strength?

Boom—

The clash between the two was deafening.

Both were pushed back several steps, unable to stand firm, eventually crashing into trees to steady themselves.

The armored monster was alarmed. It hadn’t expected the human’s body to be so formidable, matching its own.

Barbarian Bone panted heavily. The impact had taken a toll, but as he kept shouting Everlasting Fairy’s name, he felt his body growing stronger.

“Bless me, Everlasting Fairy!”

He roared and charged at the armored monster again.

……

Meng Jingzhou, like Lu Yang, faced two mid-Golden Core stage monsters: a tiger with blood from the ancient demon Lu Wu and a lion with blood from the ancient nine-headed lion. Both were formidable opponents. (TL Note :陆吾 (Lu Wu) is a mythical creature in Chinese mythology. It is often described as a guardian of the Kunlun Mountains. Lu Wu is typically depicted as a beast with the body of a tiger and wings, and sometimes it is said to have multiple tails. /wiki/lu-wu/ )

These monsters were even more dangerous than the ones Lu Yang faced.

The two demonic beasts glared menacingly at Meng Jingzhou. The power of their bloodlines compelled them to kill Meng Jingzhou, who was an obstacle, and then to kill Barbarian Bone.

This was a bloodline hatred, unresolvable and unending, ceasing only with death!

“Tsk, why is my luck so bad,” Meng Jingzhou muttered, rummaging in his pocket. The monsters tensed, focusing all their energy and preparing to dodge and counterattack, no matter what weapon Meng Jingzhou pulled out.

This was the pride of their ancient bloodline!

In a flash, Meng Jingzhou tossed something shining with an unusual light far away, not even aiming at the monsters.

The lion monster, with its exceptional vision even among Golden Core stages, saw what it was and immediately turned to chase it.

The tiger monster stood bewildered, asking, “Human, what did you just throw?”

“An upper-grade spirit stone.”

The tiger monster instantly turned to chase the lion.

It seemed bloodline hatred wasn’t all that important after all.
