Chapter 540 - 232: The Centennial Pact Arrives
Chapter 540: Chapter 232: The Centennial Pact Arrives
The news had spread throughout Tianming; Lu Yi’s reputation had long since permeated every corner of the region. Initially, when the Immortal Trace appeared, cultivators from other Great Domains had just received the message and were planning to come and assess the situation.
Although Lu Yi was in the White Cloud Sect, Immortal Traces were obtained by those with destiny.
However, upon hearing that the Immortal Trace was related to Lu Yi’s comprehending of the Space Law, all cultivators who wanted to come fell silent.
……
And so, time passed by.
In the blink of an eye, another three years had gone by.
It took Lu Yi these three years to completely absorb thirty percent of the Power of Space Laws.
Meanwhile, the Space Maze in the sky became more and more mysterious as Lu Yi continued to absorb and enhance the Space Law, to the extent that even old ancestors at the Tribulation Crossing Realm felt dizzy and overwhelmed with shock when they looked at it.
When Lu Yi finished his comprehension and slowly opened his eyes, the Space Maze in the sky finally disappeared.
Feeling his own grasp of the Space Law, Lu Yi’s lips curled up into a satisfied smile.
This harvest was too great; now, Lu Yi had reached forty percent comprehension of the Space Law. He could clearly feel that his control over space was much stronger than before.
If previously Lu Yi was a beginner just starting to learn how to swim, now he could be considered a swimming expert.
He could dive into the water for a long time, frolic within it, and even use it to attack others.
The same principle applied to space.
Space movements were now much easier for Lu Yi than before, and with the same amount of Spiritual Energy, he could teleport much further.
Moreover, he could even tear through space unexpectedly, using such tactics to attack his opponents.
If faced with powerful cultivators, tearing the space where they were located would be an absolute nightmare for them.
Additionally, Lu Yi could even use his control of the Space Law to make the surrounding space incredibly complex, trapping his opponents within a space maze from which they couldn’t escape.
Various methods would need to be slowly understood by Lu Yi himself.
Overall, he was very satisfied with the harvest this time.
After this retreat, Lu Yi left his Cave Mansion, and spent a warm reunion with his senior sister and the others, regretting that Donggong Ming Yue was still absorbing Heavenly Thunder Essence and hadn’t yet left her retreat.
Instead, it was his own Sect Leader, envious of his comprehension of the Space Law, who kept flicking his forehead and picking faults on purpose.
Lu Yi noted this to himself, vowing to teach her a lesson in the future!
After a month of warmth, Liu Ningshuang and the others put up a truce sign and chased Lu Yi out of the Cave Mansion.
Lu Yi then caught up with Jiang Fan and others, learning about the situation outside.
Hearing that the anomaly of his comprehending Space Law had attracted the attention of the entire Five Tianming Domains, Lu Yi couldn’t help feeling helpless.
He had not expected that Space Law would be so powerful that even his Sect Protection Array couldn’t completely conceal it.
It looked like he’d have to prioritize comprehending the detailed explanations of the Heavenly Immortal-level Array Tao in the future.
After all, as his strength grew stronger, the commotion from his cultivation would only become more exaggerated; it was already difficult to contain, and would be even more so in the future.
Only when he truly mastered the Immortal-level Formation would he probably be able to fully conceal the fluctuations from his cultivation.
News of Lu Yi leaving his retreat spread among the cultivators of the Eastern Domain, with powerful descendants from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land, Taiyi Holy Land, Thunder Sound Holy Land, and other Immortal Sect Holy Lands coming to congratulate him.
Of course, there were also those who were sent by old ancestors to test the waters, as they didn’t fully believe what Wu Qingfeng had said, even though Lu Yi was only at the Mahayana Realm but was able to comprehend Space Law.
Lu Yi, of course, did not hide this fact; since it had already been discovered, he no longer kept it a secret.
After celebrating with various friends and family and the descendants of the Great Immortal Sect Holy Lands, Lu Yi returned to his Cave Mansion to continue his cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, another two years passed.
……
In the Qingqiu Mountain Range.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura emitted from the depths of the Qingqiu Mountain Range; following it was a roaring sound. The next moment, a figure shrouded in rosy light burst forth.
It was Qingqiu Hua.
The spiritual energy around Qingqiu Hua had not yet completely dispersed, her aura overwhelmingly strong, twisting space itself.
Above her head floated a magnificent small palace, emitting a terrifying pressure.
It was the Immortal Artifact of the Qingqiu Clan, the Qingqiu Palace.
Qingqiu Hua stood in the air, looking towards the direction of the Eastern Domain, and lightly laughed, “The centennial appointment has come, Lu Yi. This princess might not be able to do much to you, but I must let you understand my power and repay the old grudge from the East Forest Ruins!”
Just as Qingqiu Hua was about to set out for the Eastern Domain, a figure suddenly appeared beside her.
“Hua’er, have you finished your retreat?”
“Ancestor Xinyue. Hua’er has finished her retreat,” Qingqiu Hua said with a smile.
Qingqiu Xinyue nodded slightly and looked at Qingqiu Hua, “Hua’er, do you plan to battle with Lu Yi?”
Qingqiu Hua nodded, “Yes, the centennial appointment is here, of course I must make him recognize my power.”
Qingqiu Xinyue’s expression became a bit weird as he spoke, “…Hua’er, listen to your ancestor and consider this appointment as if it never happened.”
Qingqiu Hua was startled, her brows furrowing in disbelief, “Why? The challenge has been set, if I don’t go, how will the Qingqiu Clan be regarded by others? Wouldn’t that be breaking our word, and what prestige would we have in the future?”
“If it were possible, I naturally wouldn’t want it either, but Lu Yi’s power has increased too much. If you go, I’m afraid you’re bound to lose without a doubt.”
Qingqiu Hua couldn’t believe it, “How could that be possible? With years of seclusion, I’ve made tremendous progress. There’s no way I would lose!”
“Decades ago, Lu Yi killed a Heavenly Demon Palace Void Immortal who possessed an Immortal Artifact,” Qingqiu Xinyue said softly.
Qingqiu Hua: “???”
She was stunned, her eyes widening in disbelief.
Even she, wielding an Immortal Artifact, wouldn’t dare say she could defeat a Void Immortal with the same, let alone kill one.
“Do you still have confidence in defeating Lu Yi?” Qingqiu Xinyue asked.
“…” Qingqiu Hua fell silent for a moment before speaking, “Even so, it doesn’t mean I will surely lose.”
Once again, Qingqiu Xinyue spoke softly, “A few years ago, there was a Fierce Beast Tide in the Five Domains. Lu Yi, relying on his own strength, killed several Void Immortal Beasts that had been corrupted by Jiuyou. Two years ago, he comprehended the Space Law, and not just at an ordinary level of comprehension.”
Qingqiu Hua: “???”
She was numb, “Space Law?! Lu Yi comprehended the Space Law???”
As one of the powerful Laws within the Three Thousand Great Tao, the power of the Space Law was naturally not something ordinary Laws could compare to.
Qingqiu Hua had never imagined that Lu Yi could master the Space Law.
“Yes, he has mastered the Space Law… Even if you possess the Qingqiu Palace, I’m afraid you are not his match.”
Qingqiu Hua bit her jade teeth, somewhat unwilling, “The century-long promise has been made, how can I back down now? Even if I’m not his match, I mustn’t break the promise!”
Hearing this, Qingqiu Xinyue was taken aback. Seeing Qingqiu Hua’s determined expression, she sighed softly, “Are you really going?”
“I’m going! Even if I lose, it’s just my own face that’s lost. If I don’t go, it’s our entire Qingqiu Clan’s dignity at stake. Moreover, I, Qingqiu Hua, cannot be someone who breaks my word!” Qingqiu Hua nodded her head.
Qingqiu Xinyue fell silent for a moment before speaking, “If that’s the case, I’ll have Yunhua Ancestor go with you. That way, if there’s an accident, he can bring you back.”
Qingqiu Hua: “…”
Her mouth twitched slightly. The White Cloud Sect had Immortal-level existences; if they really wanted to keep her, they would have done so from the start.
Yunhua Ancestor was a formidable force at the Void Immortal Realm, but Qingqiu Hua didn’t think he could take her away in front of such a powerful being.
Moreover, since that Immortal didn’t give her trouble in the first place, Qingqiu Hua wasn’t too worried.
She smiled, “Elder Xinyue, there’s no need. I won’t have any trouble.”
“That’s not possible. You are the most talented member of our Qingqiu Clan in history, and you even advanced your bloodline to a Nine-tailed Immortal Fox. You mustn’t come to harm!” Qingqiu Xinyue was very firm on this point.
Qingqiu Hua also found it inconvenient to mention the matter of the Immortal to her and could only concede, “If that’s the case, then all right.”
……
Half a month later, while Lu Yi was cultivating, suddenly he heard the voice of Jian Ruyu: “Freak junior brother, open the door quick! That fox spirit is here!”
Lu Yi, who was in the midst of cultivation, was momentarily startled, opened his eyes, and walked out of the Cave Mansion.
He saw Jian Ruyu standing outside the door, and Liu Ningshuang as well as Yun Xi were there too.
“What fox spirit has come?” Lu Yi was puzzled.
“It’s that Young Master of the Qingqiu Clan.” Jian Ruyu crossed her arms and looked very displeased, “That fox spirit has come to fulfill the century-long appointment and is currently in your White Cloud Sect’s main hall. Your sect’s Sect Leader is now catering to her.”
Hearing this, Lu Yi thought of Qingqiu Hua.
He had forgotten about this matter before.
Lu Yi’s eyes shone with anticipation; defeating Qingqiu Hua carried quite the reward.
Lu Yi glanced over and there were not only 10 drops of Star Marrow, but also a Mid Grade Immortal Device and Immortal Techniques as rewards!
Who would have thought that she would actually show up?
The Lu Yi of now was not the same as before, and he was very confident that he could defeat Qingqiu Hua.
Lu Yi immediately smiled, “She actually came? In that case, let’s go meet her!”
Liu Ningshuang’s face was cool as she let out a light snort and said, “That Young Master of the Qingqiu Clan is truly a fox spirit. Junior brother, you must show no mercy.”
Hearing that, Lu Yi couldn’t help but glance at Liu Ningshuang, surprised, as she was usually restrained and rarely showed anger. He hadn’t expected her to be so irritated by that fox spirit.
Then Lu Yi thought about what that fox spirit had done before and his expression became strange.
No wonder.
Lu Yi chuckled, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure she understands what true cruelty is!”
The expression of the three improved slightly, and they nodded lightly.
Then, the three of them went with Lu Yi to the White Cloud Sect’s main hall.
Approaching the main hall, Lu Yi heard a familiar laugh, “Hahaha, so that’s how it is. Your acquaintance with my boy is quite a story, isn’t it? Nothing like a fight to make friends.”
Lu Yi’s face became odd at once, not just him, but also Liu Ningshuang, Jian Ruyu, and Yun Xi looked peculiar.
It was the voice of Wang Siqi.
