Geniuses of the ancient time!

The Yingtian Immortal is jealous of their talent!

Lord Mi was greatly shaken by these two major pieces of news.

With the arrival of the Great Era, many ancient Great Powers have revived, some from the era of Great Yu, some from the period of Great Qian. These Great Powers, with their origins in the unification late stage, have solid foundations to the point of scaring people. They are qualified to step onto the stage of the Great Era to fight for the opportunity to become an Immortal.

But never before has it been heard of cultivators from the ancient times awakening.

Yet, the opposing party’s realm and battle power could not be faked. A Golden Core Stage Cultivator who could fight against the Nascent Soul Stage, such a genius is rare to come by. They are worthy of leaving their names in history.

From the tone of the opposite party, they don’t seem to care about the Five Great Immortal Sects and the Great Xia Dynasty.

Moreover, this attitude does not seem to be feigned.

Is it true or false?

This issue is deeply terrifying upon closer consideration. If it is true, it can scare people to death and is absolutely not something a Nascent Soul stage Cultivator like himself can meddle with.

Wait a minute, Lord Mi realised something wasn’t right. The Sword Qi just now might not have been released by them. It could very well have been the result of using a Sword Qi talisman left behind by their seniors.

“Playing mysterious!”

Lord Mi felt like he had seen through their secrets. A mass of black energy surged in his chest and a ghost wielding a huge cleaver appeared, merging with Lord Mi.

The aura of Lord Mi changed instantaneously. Holding the Bone-Cutting Blade, he looked like a ghost general, ready to wipe out these four youngsters in one swoop, to let them know that he was not easily fooled.

This extremely uncommon cultivation method was known as the Five Visceral Temples Expel Ghost Art. Using the Five Visceral Temples to raise five ghosts, during battle the ghosts could either possess the body or be commanded by Lord Mi, facilitating both close-range and long-range attacks.

The person standing behind Lu Yang fixed his gaze, made a bold move, and unleashed all his strength. Shining brightly like the sun, he subdued all the demons and ghosts, suppressing all evil and uncanny entities.

Bang——

Two forces collided, resulting in a loud noise that made the ground shake.

“Long Jingzhou, I leave it to you.”

Meng Jingzhou laughed heartily, looking down at Lord Mi: “A bunch of heretics who don’t even know the origins of Jiuyou, are you qualified to lay your hands on me?”

Meng Jingzhou blazed with raging fire, causing the surrounding air to boil, as if a sun had risen from the ground.

The ghost possessing Lord Mi screamed as its body melted away.

This was the Pure Yang True Fire that every Single Body Spiritual Root cultivator was entitled to. Fortunately, he met Meng Jingzhou, a cultivator who dared to form two single Golden Elixirs. Meng Jingzhou’s Pure Yang True Fire was the strongest among all the Single Body Spiritual Roots throughout history.

Lord Mi was shrouded in ghostly energy. Though it appeared terrifying, it was merely an overflow of ghostly energy, indicating that he was at a disadvantage.

Meng Jingzhou’s pair of iron fists smashed onto the blade, leaving countless fist prints on it.

“Enough.” Lu Yang said indifferently. Meng Jingzhou tactfully withdrew, sparing Lord Mi’s life.

Lord Mi was still in shock, hastily urging the ghost-wielding cleaver back to his heart to heal its injuries.

For a short while, the ghost-wielding cleaver could not rejoin the battle.

By now, Lord Mi had confirmed that they truly were peerless geniuses.

In the early stages of the Golden Core, he, in the early stages of the Nascent Soul, was put in a disadvantage. Although he had not used all his means, had the other party used all his strength?

Looking at their leisurely appearance, they seemed completely unaffected as if they had not fought at all.

Whether the other party could make Yingtian Immortal envious of him, he did not know. But one thing he did know for sure was that there were possibly less than ten individuals with this kind of talent in the current generation overflowing with geniuses!

“Lord Mi, we are not enemies. Indeed, the Five Great Immortal Sects and the Great Xia Dynasty must eventually fall. However, we from the Heaven’s Court have not completely awakened and are not yet fully prepared to oppose them!”

“Moreover, we bear a deep grudge against the Seek Dao Sect!”

“The Seek Dao Sect single-handedly annihilated the Eternity Sect, eliminating the chance for Fairy Eternity to resurrect. Fairy Eternity was the protector of our ancient Heavenly Court, significant to us!”

Lu Yang’s eyes flashed with hatred and murderous intent for the Seek Dao Sect.

“Heavenly Court?” Lord Mi had an expression of confusion. It seemed like the other party had been talking about the Heavenly Court since a while ago.

What is the Heavenly Court? He had never heard of it before.

Lu Yang patiently explained, “Heavenly Court was the ruler during the ancient era. The stars in the sky and the laws of nature, all were under the management of my Heavenly Court.”

“In the era before Yingtian Immortal and his like rose to power, all beings in the universe held Heavenly Court in the highest regard. Unfortunately, with the rise of Yingtian Immortal and others, the advantage of the Heavenly Court vanished and gradually declined.”

“The Heavenly Court was devoted to the supreme Dou Tianzun. The dazzling stars were insignificant like a grain of soybean in front of the supreme Dou Tianzun.”

“Dou Tianzun was the first person in the world to become an immortal, but the hateful Immortal Jiuchong, in order to cover up the existence of the Heavenly Court, stole Dou Tianzun’s glory and proclaimed himself as the first person to become an immortal!”

Lord Mi was struck speechless. He who didn’t even know about Immortal Jiuchong got less to say knowing that Immortal Jiuchong was the first person to become an immortal.

From Lu Yang’s brief words, he smelled the fierce struggle of the ancient times. He guessed that the ancient era must have been filled with intrigue, even immortals were no exception!

“We are all members of the Heavenly Court, awakened from our deep slumber, formed Heaven’s Court to bring back the former glory of Heavenly Court with the advent of the Great Era!”

“We are not the only ones who have awakened from the ancient times. There are some elders who have been lurking everywhere, quietly waiting for more elders to awaken so we can plan for the coming events.”

Lord Mi secretly thought, could it be that no ancient cultivators have awakened from their slumber till now? Is it because all of these cultivators from the ancient times are from the Heavenly Court and have hidden themselves after awakening?

It was plausible to hide the methods of the ancient times from the Great Xia Dynasty.

Behind Young Master Qin was a protector, assigned by the higher-ups of the Jiuyou Teaching, who was at the Divinity Transformation Stage.

He did not expect this situation.

He was about to show up, and sharply rebuke Lu Yang’s nonsense. But at this moment, Lu Yang lifted his gaze slightly, looking at him.

How was it possible? His hiding technique was one of the rare ones in the world. How could Lu Yang have found him, especially at the early Golden Core Stage?!

Unless there was also a protector hidden near him, and his cultivation level was far above his own!

The one at the Divinity Transformation Stage quickly realized this and dared not to make any more moves.

Lu Yang withdrew his gaze. It was Fairy Eternity who informed him that a person at the Divinity Transformation Stage was hiding behind Young Master Qin.

Fortunately, he had managed to scare him off with just a look.

A smart person would automatically figure out why he discovered them and not bother him with questions.

“The relation between our Heavenly Court and your Jiuyou Teaching is closer than you, Lord Mi, had imagined. Heavenly Court represents heaven, symbolizes vigor, and manages the World of the Living; Jiuyou represents earth, symbolizes gentleness, and manages the Netherworld. The Heavenly Court and Jiuyou were the real rulers of the ancient times!”

“What!” Lord Mi shouted, surprised by the close relation between Jiuyou and the Heavenly Court.

Not just Lord Mi, even the one hiding behind Young Master Qin, at the Divinity Transformation Stage, felt his heart tightening.

So, did Jiuyou originate from the ancient times?

Seeing Lord Mi’s overwhelming response, Lu Yang gently shook his head. He had a look of deep sorrow for their reaction.

“It seems that with the end of the ancient era, many inheritances have been lost. Even the oldest Jiuyou forgot about its relationship with us, Heavenly Court.”

“So, we say there is no need for all this fighting. Lord Mi, think about it. If we were from the Five Great Immortal Sects or the Great Xia Dynasty, why not wipe you all out instead of babbling here?”

“If you still don’t believe, we have evidence.”

“In the ancient times, the Heavenly Court and Jiuyou were close allies. Some of our elder members know some reincarnation magic skills. Using these magic skills, we found the reincarnation of your former Master, Qin Haoran!”
