Chapter 142: Successfully Leaving Commoner Town

“The ‘Defying Heaven Secret Method’?” Everlasting Fairy narrowed her eyes; she had never heard of a secret method with such an arrogant name before.

Immortals are the pinnacle of the cultivation path, and it’s impossible to challenge them beyond one’s level. If immortals could be defeated in reverse, what would be the point of becoming one?

“Yes, yes,” the True Immortal of Defying Heaven said submissively, offering the “Defying Heaven Secret Method.” His Daoist title also originated from this.

“When I was young, I stumbled upon a secret realm created by an ancient power. It was filled with countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and it was with these that I was able to cultivate to the Unity Stage.”

The True Immortal of Defying Heaven continued, “The most precious thing in the secret realm was this ‘Defying Heaven Secret Method.’ According to the description in the book, immortals are the kings of all beings, possessing unmatched power. To defeat an immortal, one must take a different approach. The book mentions that if one could combine the best traits of all beings — the transformation abilities of the Kunpeng, the water control abilities of the dragon clan, the fire control abilities of the phoenix clan, the wisdom of humans… having all these advantages, one could defy an immortal with mortal strength!”

Everlasting Fairy flipped through the secret method and tossed it to Lu Yang, “I thought it was something significant. All this fuss for beast transformation cultivation.”

Everlasting Fairy had just introduced the beast transformation cultivation method, which had mixed bloodlines, making it impossible to become an immortal and was abandoned by the people of the ancient era.

As for the supposed power to defy immortals mentioned in the secret method, Everlasting Fairy scoffed even more.

If it was as incredible as boasted, would it have been discarded?

“Does that mean everything said here is false?” Lu Yang flipped through the contents, which were too complex for him to understand at a glance.

Everlasting Fairy scratched her chin, “I guess the person who created the beast transformation cultivation method couldn’t accept its rejection. But back in ancient times, everyone knew what this cultivation method entailed and how unreliable it was; no one would be fooled.”

“So, they just changed the cover, added a few prefaces, renamed it, and threw it into a cave heaven. Over time, as fewer people knew about the beast transformation method, they let some fool discover it, believe its contents, and thus, the beast transformation cultivation method was passed down.”

Everlasting Fairy disdainfully said, “Bluffing, who can’t do that? I could even claim I can beat Yun Zhi.”

Lu Yang suspected Everlasting Fairy of being deliberately slack.

She continued educating Lu Yang, “Don’t think everything written in some ancient tome is true. Back in our day, forgery was rampant; there were more fakes than real things.”

“We even made up a whole celestial hierarchy system, claiming that upon becoming immortal, one ascends to the immortal realm, which has human immortals, earth immortals, celestial immortals, and so on, including the Five Directional Celestial Emperors. It was all very detailed. If you come across it, don’t believe any of it; it was all just made up for fun.”

Lu Yang: “……”

Verifying what happened in ancient times is difficult enough without you guys fabricating things.

Lu Yang felt pity for those old cultivators who loved researching the ancient era. They spent a lot of effort studying what happened back then, impressed by how magnificent the ancient era seemed, with levels above immortals, endless paths of cultivation, and thinking how much the present fell short compared to the ancient times. To then find out it was all just made up for fun.

Could the hearts of those old cultivators take it?

Fortunately, so far, Lu Yang hadn’t heard about the celestial hierarchy system; it probably disappeared in the river of time, luckily not poisoning future generations.

The True Immortal of Defying Heaven shivered on the ground, listening to Everlasting Fairy’s casual talk, feeling as if he had stumbled upon incredible secrets.

With ancient events at her fingertips and her self-referential “this immortal,” there was no longer any need to doubt his luck.

And this Foundation Stage kid, though of low realm, could communicate with an ancient immortal as equals. Could he also be an ancient immortal?

Reincarnation or possession?

The True Immortal of Defying Heaven wished he could slap himself twice. What was he thinking with a name like “Defying Heaven,” blindly barging into the mental space.

Was he tired of living?

The True Immortal of Defying Heaven cautiously retreated. He felt the pressure lessening, indicating that Everlasting Fairy was not focusing on him. He wanted to take the opportunity while the two were chatting to slip out of the mental space and escape.

Then he discovered the mental space was as sealed as a coffin, impossible to escape.

Everlasting Fairy sneered. Lu Yang’s mental space was essentially her home. How could one simply come and go from an immortal’s home as they please?

“Want to leave? Then leave your life behind.”

Everlasting Fairy detested the True Immortal of Defying Heaven’s method of cultivation. At the dawn of the rules, countless commoners died under them. And looking at the town chief’s physical body, it was the result of killing hundreds, if not thousands, of people.

As an immortal of the human race, Everlasting Fairy couldn’t claim to be grandiose or to have protected countless humans, but she could say she had never harmed anyone.

It was time to kill.

Everlasting Fairy extended a finger. The True Immortal of Defying Heaven desperately moved his body, trying to dodge her finger, but no matter how he moved, he couldn’t escape.

It was an unavoidable finger!

The finger touched his brow, and the True Immortal of Defying Heaven’s soul shattered.

…

“This person is difficult to deal with!” Outside Commoner Town, the four Unity Stage cultivators found Daoist Non-Speaker challenging.

They had finally identified the sword that merged with Daoist Non-Speaker from thousands, hoping for a fair fight. Yet, Daoist Non-Speaker once again executed his technique, merging with the sword and turning one into thousands.

Was such a move repeatable?!

“If you don’t show yourself, we’ll go to Commoner Town and kill those two youngsters!” one of the Unity Stage cultivators shouted in anger. This was not a threat; they were capable of such actions.

Suddenly, thousands of swords formed a large sphere, tips pointing inward, enclosing the four.

The swords struck at once, catching the four by surprise and causing them harm.

Daoist Non-Speaker revealed his true form, holding his life-bound sword, staring intently at the four, “I dare anyone to harm them!”

Confronted with Daoist Non-Speaker’s gaze, the four felt a chilling presence. Fighting a supreme sword cultivator to the death meant at least two of them would fall.

One of them sneered, “Bluffing. The town chief of Commoner Town is our companion. Do you really think those juniors can be safe just by following the rules?”

“Once our companion uses those juniors as hostages, I’d like to see what you’ll do. Will you risk the juniors’ lives to kill us, or will you drop your sword and let us kill you obediently?”

Daoist Non-Speaker clenched his teeth, gripping his sword handle tightly. If things turned out as they said, he was prepared to risk his lifespan and cultivation to kill the four before anything happened!

As they stood off, a teleportation array appeared outside Commoner Town. The four Unity Stage cultivators were about to provoke Daoist Non-Speaker, claiming his juniors had been captured, when their expressions drastically changed, and they spat out blood.

“How is it possible? Someone used the rules to leave Commoner Town?!”

Leaving Commoner Town through the rules meant they would suffer backlash.

The teleportation array vanished, and Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou successfully left Commoner Town. Lu Yang, holding the town chief’s head, smiled and waved at the figures above, his provocative intent unmistakable.

“Pui—” The four Unity Stage cultivators spat blood again.
