Chapter 234: Li Haoran and Lu Yang’s Differences
Translator: yikaii Editor: yikaii
When Yun Zhi said that even she couldn’t see through it, the Everlasting Fairy let out a sigh of relief. “Hehe, I told you this thing crosses disciplines, no one can figure it out.”
This indicated that not being able to see through Li Haoran’s issue wasn’t due to her lack of skill, but because that was simply the truth.
“I have observed that Junior Brother Li’s body is no different from an ordinary person’s and shows no signs of an ariya-phala.”“So my body is fine?”
Yun Zhi shook her head slightly. “No, this actually means your body has a problem. Since your body is no different from an ordinary person’s, where did the memory fragments come from?”
“The matter of ariya-phala involves the principles of the world, which even I cannot fully understand or clarify. Junior Brother Li’s situation requires long-term consideration.”
“If Junior Brother Li gains more memory fragments in the future, you should inform the sect. The more we know, the easier it will be to analyze what exactly is happening to you. Moreover, this is also an opportunity to learn about the Nine Nether Sect.”
Li Haoran nodded. If he gained more memory fragments, he would definitely tell the sect. Keeping this to himself would make him anxious.
He was just a small cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage who suddenly learned he was the leader of one of the Four Great Demonic Sects. Anyone in his position would be nervous and in need of a powerful backer.
Fortunately, the Dao Seeking Sect he belonged to was the greatest backing in the world. “I have another question.”“Ask without hesitation.”
“You’ve been talking about ariya-phala, but what exactly is ariya-phala?”
It was only then that Dai Bufan realized that Li Haoran didn’t know what ariya-phala was. That made sense—ariya-phala was fundamental to becoming immortal. How could someone in the Foundation Establishment stage be qualified to know about ariya-phala?
But why had he instinctively thought it was normal for someone in the Foundation Establishment stage to know about ariya-phala?
Dai Bufan looked at the remaining two Foundation Establishment cultivators present—Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou. Why do you two know about ariya-phala?
…
Such top-level secrets as ariya-phala are known by few, even among common Unity Stage cultivators. Only those in the late or peak Unity Stage, like Su Yiren, have the qualification to understand ariya-phala. Su Yiren only had a general idea of the concept, knowing less about ariya-phala than Lu Yang.
Dai Bufan was an exception. Although he was only at the early Unity Stage, he managed the task hall and had access to many intelligence channels, giving him considerable knowledge about ariya-phala.
Moreover, his combat power couldn’t be judged by his early Unity Stage status.
In theory, Li Haoran wasn’t qualified to know about ariya-phala. However, since he might have a nascent ariya-phala within him, it was unreasonable not to inform him.
Therefore, Eldest Senior Sister had briefly told Li Haoran about ariya-phala, making him aware of his importance.
He now realized that he was not only related to the Nine Nether Sect but also to a potential path to immortality.
If outsiders learned of this, countless people would be tempted. Li Haoran, like the Tang monk’s flesh in his past life, would be a target. Whether they could obtain the reincarnation ariya-phala or not, they’d capture Li Haoran first. (TL Note: Reference to Tang Sanzang from the Journey to The West)
“Is there an immortal behind the nascent ariya-phala? Will the same be true for the reincarnation ariya-phala?” Back at Heaven’s Gate Peak, Lu Yang was worried about Li Haoran’s situation.
If an immortal took action, capturing Li Haoran and extracting the reincarnation ariya-phala or its nascent form would be effortless. Li Haoran would have no ability to resist.
“That’s why I suggested just now that unless there’s a special circumstance, Junior Brother Li shouldn’t leave the Dao Seeking Sect. Here, he is safe.”
Her tone was calm, yet it exuded absolute confidence.
Yun Zhi did not have this requirement for Lu Yang. Whenever Lu Yang wanted to go out, she never stopped him. In fact, she even encouraged him to go out, telling him not to stay cooped up in the Dao Seeking Sect all the time and to go out and see the world.
In fact, Lu Yang’s situation is even more dangerous than Li Haoran’s. While Li Haoran is suspected of having a nascent ariya-phala, Lu Yang definitively has an immortal that everyone wants to attack residing in his body, along with an immortal ariya-phala that the four ancient immortals envied.
However, if Lu Yang encounters danger, he can use the ultimate form of the Shape-Imitating Fist to summon Eldest Senior Sister.
If Li Haoran is the Tang monk, then Lu Yang is the Tang monk who can summon the Buddha. Their levels of safety are not comparable.
“I heard from the fairy that the appearance of an ariya-phala represents the emergence of a new rule in the world. Have there been any ariya-phalas that affected the entire world after ancient times?”
Eldest Senior Sister quietly looked at Lu Yang, her gaze as calm as the surface of a lake. It made Lu Yang’s heart flutter with unease. He couldn’t tell if a few seconds or a few minutes had passed, or perhaps even a lifetime, before he heard Eldest Senior Sister slowly speak.
“Senior, please come out for a chat.”
“What’s the matter?” Everlasting Fairy was confused.
“Junior Brother is only in the Foundation Establishment stage. Knowing too many secrets that only great powers are privy to can create an overambitious mindset, which is not conducive to his future cultivation. Please consider Junior Brother’s level when discussing these matters.”
“Oh, alright.”
The Everlasting Fairy actually wanted to say that she had considered Lu Yang’s level when she explained things, but she didn’t dare to argue in front of Yun Zhi.
Just wait until I regain my strength, then I’ll suppress this little girl!
“After ancient times, there was indeed an ariya-phala that affected the entire world, and you are very familiar with this impact.” Eldest Senior Sister felt it was alright for Lu Yang to know this.
“I’m very familiar with it?” Lu Yang was slightly surprised. Besides the changes in stars and continents, what is different now compared to ancient times?
Not only Lu Yang but also Everlasting Fairy couldn’t think of what was different now compared to ancient times.
“It’s the Great Xia Dynasty.” Yun Zhi revealed the answer.
“What about the Great Xia Dynasty?” Lu Yang didn’t understand. “It’s the entire Great Xia Dynasty.”
Lu Yang’s eyes widened. What does it mean that it’s the entire Great Xia Dynasty?
Despite Lu Yang’s repeated inquiries about what Eldest Senior Sister’s words meant, Eldest Senior Sister felt that discussing further was not appropriate for Lu Yang’s current level and didn’t elaborate.
The Everlasting Fairy seemed to be lost in thought, as if she had understood something.
“Junior Brother, have you made any progress in forming your Golden Core?” As Lu Yang’s nominal Eldest Senior Sister and his actual master, Yun Zhi frequently paid attention to Lu Yang’s cultivation progress.
Lu Yang shook his head helplessly. “There are too many types of Golden Cores to choose from, and I haven’t decided which one to form yet.”
However, he could definitely exclude the Everlasting Fairy’s Invincible Core.
He followed Li Haoran home, hoping to gain insights from meeting different people or experiencing different events during the journey.
The biggest insight he gained from this trip was that living off someone else is really enjoyable.
What, should he form a Golden Core of freeloading?
That would be too embarrassing to admit.
“Don’t rush the matter of forming your Golden Core. Just let things take their natural course.”
“By the way, Eldest Senior Sister, I saw the insights on forming Golden Cores from all the Senior Brothers and Sisters in the Sutra Library, but yours wasn’t there. How did you form your Golden Core, and what type of Core did you form?”
With the person in question present, Lu Yang couldn’t help his curiosity and asked. Who knows, maybe he could be as outstanding as Eldest Senior Sister?
