Chapter 598 - 285: A Physique Stronger Than Immortal Gold
“However, even as the disciple of the old ancestor, Yi’er, you have just become a Heavenly Immortal, and the duties of an immortal must still be carried out. No status can exempt you from that.”
Yu Xin, standing with his hands behind his back, spoke up.
Lu Yi nodded and seriously said, “I understand.”
“Mm, regarding this matter, the old ancestor has already given instructions. After you return from the Jiuyou Battlefield, he will teach you,” Yu Xin continued.
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanwu spoke up, “So, Lu Yi, you haven’t been to the Jiuyou Battlefield yet?”
Lu Yi asked, “Have you been there?”
“Of course, I just came back a few years ago.” A solemn look flashed across Yu Yuanwu’s eyes as he complained, “That place is really no place for humans.”
Yu Xin glanced at Yu Yuanwu and said indifferently, “You should learn from your brother. Han Guang always goes to the Jiuyou Battlefield to temper himself. What about you?”
Yu Yuanwu’s mouth twitched, and he muttered, “I’m not a freak like my brother…”
“Hmm?”
Yu Yuanwu immediately fell silent.
Lu Yi cracked a smile, realizing that Yu Yuanwu was quite afraid of Yu Xin.
But then again, there are indeed not many sons who aren’t afraid of their fathers.
Yu Xin snorted lightly and looked at Lu Yi. His expression softened considerably, “However, since you’ve just returned, you can take some time before leaving again.”
Lu Yi naturally had no objections.
……
In the following days, Lu Yi cultivated in the small courtyard of the Ling Luo Peak Master.
Yun Xi and Donggong Ming Yue were both on the verge of breaking through and were in seclusion. It wasn’t suitable for Lu Yi to engage in Dual Cultivation with them.
However, Liu Ningshuang and Jian Ruyu were available, and the three of them would practice Dual Cultivation whenever they had the time.
Half a month later.
Yu Yuanwu knocked on the door of the Ling Luo Peak Master’s courtyard, shouting, “Brother Yi, Brother Yi, come out quickly.”
Lu Yi was startled and left the Cultivation Room.
Outside the courtyard, Yu Yuanwu and more than a dozen young men and women who looked quite young were standing together.
When they saw Lu Yi, each of these young men and women turned their gaze to him, their eyes filled with defiance and curiosity.
Lu Yi raised an eyebrow and asked, “Yuanwu, who are they?”
Yu Yuanwu smiled and said, “Brother Yi, the news that the old ancestor wants to take you as a disciple has already spread. These are the direct lineage disciples of the Yu Family, and they are very curious about you. So, they came to have a look at you.”
“You’re Ling Luo’s disciple? My name is Yu Hanri. Are you really that powerful?”
“Yu Yu’er pays respects to Brother Lu. It is said that Brother Lu’s Ascension Tribulation drew dozens of rare types of Heavenly Thunders. Is that true?”
“…”
The Yu Family disciples chattered away, bombarding Lu Yi with questions.
Lu Yi was somewhat shocked; these youths seemed young but were all powerful beings of the Heavenly Immortal level.
This probably wasn’t the entirety of the Yu Family’s younger generation.
It was no wonder the Yu Family was so powerful. In Tianming, a Heavenly Immortal might not appear even in a million years, yet among the younger generation of the Yu Family, all were Heavenly Immortals!
Of course, there must also be many younger members who were not at the Heavenly Immortal level but were probably unable to mingle with outstanding individuals like Yu Yuanwu.
These were the talented youths of the Yu Family’s younger generation who, even if they could not become high-rank members in the future, would at least mix in as middle-rank figures, and perhaps a few could become Golden Immortal level bigshots.
Their attitude towards Lu Yi was both curious and a bit unconvinced.
Lu Yi didn’t mind and just smiled.
“Alright now, even the old ancestor has affirmed Brother Yi’s talent. Could there be any doubt?” Yu Yuanwu spoke up.
Clearly, Yu Yuanwu commanded great respect among this group. Everyone fell silent upon hearing his words.
Looking at Lu Yi with anticipation in his eyes, Yu Yuanwu said, “By the way, Brother Yi, you haven’t forgotten our agreement, right? Shall we have a sparring match?”
Lu Yi raised an eyebrow, looking at Yu Yuanwu, “So that’s what this is about.”
He had no objections, of course, since sparring came with its rewards.
Yu Yuanwu, also at the Heavenly Immortal level and a prodigy of a great family like the Yu Family, made Lu Yi curious to know whether his own strength could compare with his.
This battle was something Lu Yi was also looking forward to; it would let him know whether there was any gap between him and the top talents of the Sky Falling Star Domain.
“I’m free today, so let’s do it.”
At these words, Yu Yuanwu’s eyes lit up, and he laughed, “Great! I’ve been waiting for those words from you, Brother Yi, for several days now.”
The Yu Family disciples looked even more expectant.
To be honest, they all knew that Lu Yi was just a cultivator from a small Mortal Star.
Although he was taken as a direct disciple by the Ling Luo Peak Master, they found it hard to believe that a cultivator from a Mortal Star truly had such high talent that even the old ancestor would want to take him as a disciple.
Keep in mind, even among the younger generation, there were very few whom the old ancestor regarded highly, let alone praised repeatedly.
This caused them quite a bit of dissatisfaction.
“Let’s witness Brother Lu’s true strength!”
Yu Yuanwu said with a smile, “Come with me, Brother Yi!”
Transforming into streaks of light, the group vanished from the courtyard and flew off into the distance. Lu Yi also smiled and followed them.
Each one of the Yu Family disciples possessed an Immortal Technique of speed and moved extremely fast. Clearly, they wanted to test Lu Yi’s speed.
However, no matter how they accelerated, Lu Yi’s expression remained calm.
He stepped through the void as if taking a leisurely stroll, following them at a relaxed pace.
This pace shocked them all to the core.
“Is this the Space Law?”
“I’ve heard Uncle Tianfeng say that Brother Lu has mastered a very powerful Space Law, capable of passing through Profound Immortal Level Great Arrays.”
