Chapter 273: Chapter 272: This Immortal is Known for His Combat Power_1

“You’re telling me this is the Invincible Elixir?!” Lu Yang didn’t know what expression he should put on.

After rummaging through countless golden core formation materials and tirelessly seeking inspiration, he had formed a unique Golden Core at the most critical moment in a battle.

And now you’re telling me this Golden Core is the same as your Invincible Elixir?

“Oh dear, I’ve already told you, continuously fight, fear no challenges, win every battle, and develop an unbeatable aura. This is the force that guides the circulation of spiritual essence, and helps condense the elixir.”

“Stop pretending now. You followed step by step according to what I told you, and successfully formed your Golden Core.”

Fairy Eternity thought that Lu Yang was just feeling embarrassed and unwilling to admit that he was mimicking her.

“There’s nothing to be ashamed of. Follow me, and I guarantee you’ll laugh at the end of time. By that time, when I am back to my heyday, I shall be the first, you the second, and that little girl Yun Zhi, the third!”

Lu Yang couldn’t help but recall the unique Golden Core formation experience that Fairy Eternity had shared.

“Fairy, do you remember how you said you formed your Golden Core?”

…

“This is my unique Golden Core, which I have named the Invincible Elixir.”

“Normally, I don’t tell others how to form it! Now, do you know the benefits of following me?” Fairy Eternity was brimming with pride, hoping to elicit a look of worship from Lu Yang.

“Just to be on the safe side, let me ask in advance. When you said ‘win every battle’, were you referring to fighting against someone the same level as you, or someone a level below you?”

“Of course it refers to someone a level higher!”

…

“Right, someone a level higher. If I, in the Foundation Establishment Stage, defeated someone in the Golden Core Stage, wouldn’t that be a level higher?” Fairy Eternity casually declared, not understanding why Lu Yang seemed so shocked.

Hadn’t she already said before that she was renowned for her beauty and fighting prowess before becoming immortal?

If she was known for her fighting prowess, wouldn’t fighting across levels be a common occurrence?

Lu Yang: “…”

No wonder Lu Yang hadn’t thought about this. Fairy Eternity had never given him any reliable guidance. Plus, she often picked on lower-level cultivators, and took pride in doing so.

Lu Yang had always seen Fairy Eternity as an ancient relic of a shameful past, and hardly took her cultivation advice seriously.

Listening to Fairy Eternity talk about cultivation sounded less useful than asking Eldest Senior Sister.

Although, asking Eldest Senior Sister wasn’t necessarily going to get any answers either.

Lu Yang’s impression of Fairy Eternity’s cultivation method was unreliable.

As for that of Eldest Senior Sister, it was outrageous.

Neither was of any reference value.

“In the late stages after establishing the foundation, I exhibited extraordinary talent, sweeping all geniuses at the same stage. Saints, blessings of heaven, bodies of the great path… none could stand before me. My talent drew the envy of the world.”

“The guardians of the geniuses thought that I would certainly be a big problem in the future and wanted to eradicate me. Yet, they were well-respected individuals and were afraid that the act of bullying the weak would damage their reputation. So, they dispatched many late-stage cultivators, hoping they would break through during the battle and enter the Golden Core Stage. This way, even when I lost, no one could say anything about it.”

“Heh, they thought they could defeat me just by that? Even if they advanced to the Golden Core Stage, they were all nothing. None of them could match me!”

“I constantly defeated them, nurturing through battles, and formed an unbeatable aura, successfully forming my golden core!” Fairy Eternity related her story with a casual attitude, as if it were an insignificant feat.

“My Golden Core was something that had never been witnessed, and I was unbeatable, so naturally, the Golden Core had to be named the Invincible Elixir.”

“Alright, this body’s power has almost been used up by me. I’ll leave the rest to you. After this, I’ll teach you the use of the Invincible Elixir. Yawn…”

The downside of a clone is that it couldn’t replenish spiritual essence like the main body could. Once the spiritual essence was used up, it was gone and couldn’t be replenished.

Fairy Eternity let out a stretch, her physical body returned to the earth and her soul back into the Spiritual Space.

After working so hard for so long, she deserved a nice sleep as a reward.

From beginning to end, the Herbal Celestial Grass didn’t say a word. If it had been human, it would have been drenched in cold sweat by now.

Though Lu Yang had been speaking to his clone all this while, the Herbal Celestial Grass could sense his Spiritual Sense intensely locked onto it. Any slightest movement from it would be obliterated with a single sword strike from Lu Yang.

“Quick, stop them…”

Before the Herbal Celestial Grass could finish speaking, Lu Yang moved, turning into a bolt of lightning. He knocked back all the Demon Beasts blocking the Herbal Celestial Grass, instantly appearing in front of it.

“Who are you trying to stop?” Lu Yang asked, bending down to grab the Herbal Celestial Grass, his voice icy cold.

After ascending to the Golden Core Stage, not only was his strength greatly enhanced, but his speed had also increased significantly.

Lu Yang didn’t give the Herbal Celestial Grass a chance to explain and uprooted it completely.

The roots of the Herbal Celestial Grass spread underneath the entire swamp. When Lu Yang pulled out all its roots, he discovered skeletons tangled in them. There were both Demon Race and Human race skeletons, all of which were its nourishment.

Lu Yang’s gaze turned even colder. He removed each of the skeletons, ripped off the root system of the Herbal Celestial Grass, and casually threw it away.

He took the Herbal Celestial Grass and left the swamp. He encountered a Demon Beast fighting with a cultivator, casually killed the beast with a single blow, and asked the cultivator where he was.

Seeing Lu Yang killing the early stage Golden Core Demon Beast with a single strike, the cultivator was greatly shocked. He didn’t dare to hide anything and respectfully told Lu Yang the location.

Lu Yang calculated, he was about six hundred miles away from the Demon Suppressing Pass, not very far away.

When Lu Yang returned to Demon Suppressing Pass, he found Meng Jingzhou and the others anxiously waiting at the gate. There was also a young man standing nearby with rosy lips and pearly white teeth, who looked a few years younger than Lu Yang.

“Where did the Herbal Celestial Grass drag Senior Brother Lu to?” Tao Yaoye was incredibly anxious. They had asked for help to find Lu Yang, but when they reached the spot, only a large pit and the swamp were left.

“Don’t worry. Lu Yang has a trump card, he’ll be fine.” Meng Jingzhou said confidently.

Even though he said this, he was still terrified. If Lu Yang had summoned Eldest Senior Sister to deal with the Herbal Celestial Grass, he should’ve returned to find them by now. If Lu Yang hadn’t summoned her, how would he deal with the Herbal Celestial Grass?

“I’m back.” The clear voice of Lu Yang rang out, causing everyone to cheer with relief.

“Lu Yang!”

“Senior Brother Lu!”

“Brother Lu!”

Lu Yang, in a clean white robe, with a sword and jade pendant at his waist, and the defeated Herbal Celestial Grass in hand, looked like a young master from a painting, extremely suave.

“How did you get rid of the Herbal Celestial Grass yourself?” Meng Jingzhou noticed the Herbal Celestial Grass in Lu Yang’s hand.

“Who do you think I am? A mere Herbal Celestial Grass can be easily uprooted by me.”

“He has formed his Golden Core.” The young man with rosy lips and pearly white teeth suddenly said, secretly surprised. He had heard of the strangeness of the Herbal Celestial Grass. To be able to deal with it immediately after entering the Golden Core Stage was something he could not do.

“You’ve formed your Golden Core?” Meng Jingzhou thought he was the first one to form his golden core, but didn’t expect Lu Yang to have done it before him.

“And this is…”

“Let me introduce you, this is Governor Zeng of the Demon Suppressing Pass, Zeng Tairan. As soon as I got back to the pass, I asked Governor Zeng to help rescue you.”

“I’ve seen Governor Zeng.”

Zeng Tairan waved his hand: “You will surely achieve greater accomplishments than me in the future. There’s no need to be overly polite.”

“Brother Lu found fortune amidst disaster, successfully forming the golden core. He’s the first one in our generation to do so. We should go back and celebrate properly.” Man Gu called out.

Lu Yang shook his head: “Let’s not rush. There’s still one loose end to tie up. May I ask Governor Zeng how many cultivators above the Refining the Void stage are there at Demon Suppressing Pass?”
