Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 443: Immortal Fairy takes action

The one who possessed Sect Master Lu was a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator from Great Yu, which explains everything.

Why were there no records of Body Fusion stage cultivators fighting? Because it's easy for a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator to possess a Body Fusion stage one!

Why did Sect Master Lu, who seemed so ordinary, become the first among his peers to break through to the Tribulation Crossing stage? Because he had already been possessed by a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator from Great Yu, making the process effortless!

These are all pieces of evidence. Although Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had no concrete proof, they couldn't think of any other possibilities!

Governor Lu and others were about to congratulate the Corpse Driving Sect when they heard Sect Master Lu laughing heartily, a laugh that was wild and unrestrained, completely different from his usual demeanor.

"Finally, finally back to the Tribulation Crossing stage!"

"Wait, you're not Lu Baqian, who are you?" Governor Lu instantly realized something was wrong and shouted sternly, a sense of foreboding rising within him.

Wu Youdao and Cang Lei Venerable congratulated the "Sect Master Lu."

"Congratulations to Daoist Wuji for successfully crossing the tribulation."

Upon hearing this, Elder Gai's pupils contracted, his face full of disbelief: "Wuji? Venerable Wuji?! The Venerable Wuji of the Witch Corpse Sect!"

The Witch Corpse Sect was rated as a supreme sect precisely because they had Venerable Wuji, a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator!

During the battle earlier, Elder Gai had been puzzled. Historical records stated that Venerable Wuji's whereabouts were unknown, presumably in a long slumber, awaiting the revival of a great era.

If that were the case, why were only Body Fusion stage cultivators from the Witch Corpse Sect fighting? Where was Venerable Wuji?

Now it was clear, Venerable Wuji had been right under his nose the whole time!

With three Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators on Great Yu's side, the already pressured Qiu Jin'an felt even more overwhelmed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The man in the white paper hat gritted his teeth, staring at the Venerable Wuji who had taken over Sect Master Lu's body.

Huang Ming and Meng Tian had already explained this matter, which was one of the reasons he had decided to deal with the Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators of Great Yu.

Due to the unique view of life and death held by corpse craftsmen, there were rumors that the founder of the Jiuyou Sect had come from the Corpse Driving Sect.

This was actually a rumor, but one thing was true: the view of life and death held by corpse craftsmen was very similar to that of the Jiuyou Sect, which naturally made the Jiuyou Sect have a favorable impression of corpse craftsmen.

For the Venerable Wuji who had taken over Sect Master Lu's body, the Jiuyou Sect's leader was naturally furious.

His original plan was to cooperate with Qiu Jin'an to quickly deal with Wu Youdao before Venerable Wuji returned to the Tribulation Crossing stage.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. He hadn't expected Great Yu to have Cang Lei Venerable, nor had he expected Venerable Wuji to cross the tribulation ahead of time.

Seeing that his side was all present, Wu Youdao revealed his greedy and vicious nature.

"Governor Lu, I have already given you a chance to hand over the power of a nation's fate. Since you refuse, I will have to take it by force!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators attacked simultaneously, striking at Governor Lu. The spiritual power in Hanshui City became violent, and this strike was like the end of the world, leaving Governor Lu on the brink of death. Fortunately, the power of a nation's fate saved him; otherwise, this strike alone would have killed him on the spot.

Governor Lu fell to the ground with a thud, landing beside Lu Yang.

Lu Yang's eye twitched; things had gone from bad to worse. Great Yu had three Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators, making the disparity in strength too great.

"No wonder it's the power of a nation's fate; even this can't kill you. I'm more and more eager to get my hands on it. I wonder how much my dragon and tiger aura will transform."

Governor Lu struggled to support his body, snorting coldly, ready to die: "Do you think killing me will give you the power of a nation's fate? Ridiculous! Even if I die, the power of a nation's fate will return to its original place. You won't get a single bit!"

"Is that so?" Venerable Wuji revealed a sinister smile, pulling out a very familiar talisman. "Guess why I possessed this body?"

"The Soul Dispersing Talisman!" Governor Lu recognized the talisman and felt a sense of doom. This was a talisman hurriedly crafted by the government and the Corpse Driving Sect to deal with ghostly threats. The one in Venerable Wuji's hand was the master talisman, and to enhance its power, it even bore the mark of the Wild State Seal.

What was he planning to do with this talisman now?

Venerable Wuji raised the talisman, and countless points of light appeared in Hanshui City. These were all places where the Soul Dispersing Talisman had been used.

"Formation, rise!"

The talisman in Venerable Wuji's hand burned, and the points of light in the city became even more dazzling, connecting to form a grand formation. Governor Lu felt the power of a nation's fate being stripped from his body bit by bit, turning into ownerless energy.

"I went through all the trouble to possess this body for this very moment!" Venerable Wuji laughed uncontrollably, his laughter echoing throughout Hanshui City.

"When the previous governor stepped down, other forces were not trusted by the imperial court. You, the newly appointed governor, could only trust us, the Corpse Driving Sect. With ghostly threats, only our Corpse Driving Sect could resolve them!"

"The Soul Dispersing Talisman was crafted by the Corpse Driving Sect and your government together. The talisman naturally carries the government's intent, and with the mark of the Wild State Seal, it further strengthens this intent."

"I used vengeful spirits as anchor points, letting my disciples use the talisman to dispel ghosts. When the talisman combined with the ghostly aura, it became a node of the formation."

All the formation masters had guessed wrong. The formation in Hanshui City was neither set up using vengeful spirits as nodes nor intended to disrupt the balance of yin and yang. It was set up using the Soul Dispersing Talisman.

But the formation masters didn't even know the Soul Dispersing Talisman existed, so no one paid attention to the talisman.

"The talisman and ghost dispelling were your government's intent, so the formation is also your government's intent. This essentially means the government is willingly giving up the power of a nation's fate!" Venerable Wuji sneered. The conditions to make the power of a nation's fate ownerless were extremely harsh, requiring the government to willingly abandon it.

He had orchestrated all these events to obtain the power of a nation's fate!

Feeling the power of a nation's fate slipping away, becoming ownerless, Governor Lu felt powerless. If it had been a more experienced governor, such a fatal mistake wouldn't have been made.

"We can't let them get the power of a nation's fate!" Qiu Jin'an and the Jiuyou Sect leader hurriedly attacked.

But how could the two of them be a match for three Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators?

"Threefold Da Luo Force!"

"Heaven's Punishment Thunder!"

"Corpse Qi for a Thousand Miles!"

The three Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators attacked simultaneously, sending Qiu Jin'an and the Jiuyou Sect leader flying, coughing up blood continuously.

A substance that looked like light and water floated out from Governor Lu's body, forming strands and sheets, drifting into the air.

Wu Youdao saw the long-desired power of a nation's fate, stretched out his large hand, and used the technique of "Heaven and Earth in the Palm," pressing down on Governor Lu.

And Lu Yang and the others were right beside Governor Lu.

"The power of a nation's fate is mine!"

"This immortal also thinks the power of a nation's fate is quite nice. How about letting me use it first?"

A playful and clear voice suddenly echoed, reverberating between heaven and earth, with no discernible source.

A figure suddenly appeared between Governor Lu and the large hand, extending a delicate jade hand to absorb all the power of a nation's fate.

"And you call that 'Heaven and Earth in the Palm'?"

The woman sneered, raised her hand, and struck Wu Youdao's large hand away. Wu Youdao clutched his wrist tightly, his hand trembling uncontrollably, a hint of panic in his eyes.

The woman was enveloped in the power of a nation's fate, her face obscured. She had a graceful figure, bare jade feet, like a celestial maiden descending to the mortal world, sacred and inviolable, making people want to worship her.

"Who are you!"

Wu Youdao stared intently at the mysterious woman, feeling as if she were an abyss, unfathomable.

The strike that had just sent his hand flying hadn't exceeded the early Tribulation Crossing stage, but the way she controlled and used her power was far beyond his own!

How was this possible!

The mysterious woman looked at Wu Youdao disdainfully, her lips parting lazily as she revealed her name:

"This immortal is the Supreme Heavenly Sovereign of the Heavenly Court Sect, Dou Heavenly Sovereign."
