Chapter 176: 175: Tofu Supreme! _i
Weren’t they a righteous sect?
The Eternity Sect higher-ups had been chanting in an ancient language, paired with the Immortal Treasure Dream Pillow; the content of their words was profound, beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Until now, no one had been able to break its mystery. The Eternity Sect surmised that it was an ancient Immortal Art that drove the Immortal Treasures, while others suggested it was an ancient speech to awaken the Immortal Treasures.
Regardless, it could be confirmed that the Dream Pillow paired with the ancient words was an unparalleled weapon of the same level.
The Master of the Eternity Sect speculated that the Immortal Eternity was well-versed in the rules of dream Immortal Dao. The phrase “Many dreams over thousands of autumns, which year is tonight?” was a poetic description by cultivators of the ancient times, referring to the Immortal Eternity.
Upon verification, the Master of the Eternity Sect also discovered that the Qilin Immortal had once expressed the desire to keep the Immortal Eternity in eternal slumber.
“This implies that, despite the Five Immortals of the Ancients being equally formidable, the Qilin Immortal must have feared the Immortal Eternity and did not wish for them to awaken!” The Master of the Eternity Sect thus declared.
Vice Sect Leader Liu shook his head, breaking off his thoughts. He realized that the Seek Dao Sect had been prepared in advance, they were turtles in a jar, ensnared in a trap.
Who’s the traitor?!
Vice Sect Leader Liu suddenly realized Lu Yang, who was by his side earlier, was nowhere to be seen. He abruptly looked up to see Lu Yang standing on the podium, speaking.
It seemed that Lu Yang noticed Vice Sect Leader Liu looking at him, he glanced at him, flashed a breezy smile, then continued, “After this exchange, everyone must…”
“It’s you!” Vice Sect Leader Liu was boiling over with rage. He never would have believed that Lu Yang was a traitor.
Did the Seek Dao Sect turn Lu Yang?
No, if he could stand on the podium, it means he was a part of the Seek Dao Sect all along! Could he be a high-ranking member?!
“Ha, devious Lu Yang, do you think you’ve won!”
Vice Sect Leader Liu expressed a desperate and crazed look, pulling out the Immortal Treasure Dream Pillow from his storage ring.
“Let me show you the power of Immortal Treasures. Even if I am alone, I can master this treasure!”
After spewing out a mouthful of essence blood on the Dream Pillow, a surreal green glow emanated from it. The glow, akin to ripples, spread out into the surroundings.
Everything that came into contact with the green ripples, friend or foe, fell into a deep sleep.
Whether they were disciples of the Seek Dao Sect, the Five Elements Sect, or even the high-ranking members of the captured Eternity Sect, they all swayed and fell to the ground, producing gradually louder snores after being swept across by the green ripples.
The snoring continued on and on.
The martial arts arena was supposed to be the bustling heart of the Seek Dao Sect, but now it was eerily silent, with only the sound of snoring echoing throughout.
Even the Sect elders on the grandstand couldn’t resist the power of the Dream Pillow and were drawn into a dream state.
Vice Sect Leader Liu was visibly weakened, but he didn’t care and laughed madly.
“Ha ha ha, what can the Seek Dao Sect or Five Elements Sect do? This will teach you to underestimate the Eternity Sect!”
Full of murderous intent, Vice Sect Leader Liu saw this as an opportunity to decimate the disciples of the Seek Dao Sect.
“I have to be quick. Once the Transcendence Tribulation Stage members of the Seek Dao Sect notice the commotion here, they’re bound to come. Even though I possess an Immortal Treasure and have made a blood sacrifice, I might not be able to withstand the power of a Great Power at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage,” Vice Sect Leader Liu muttered to himself.
Those at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage were hidden in the deepest part of Sect, guarding secrets, seeking the Dao, or secluded from worldly matters, and very rarely took action.
As far as he knew, among the Five Great Immortal Sects, only the Abbot of the Suspension Temple was at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage. The remaining four Sect Masters were in the Unification Stage.
The Abbot of the Suspension Temple was from the previous generation. No one from their generation had reached the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.
As long as no one from the Transcendence Tribulation Stage showed up, with his Immortal Treasure, he was the most powerful amongst them!
“How dare you plot murder under my watch?”
A mocking voice tinged with cold indifference interrupted Vice Sect Leader Liu’s reverie.
Recognizing the voice, Vice Sect Leader Liu’s head jolted up in surprise only to discover that Lu Yang was not asleep!
“How is this possible!”
Swiftly, his surprise turned into sheer terror.
Lu Yang’s lack of sleep indicated that he’s a Great Power at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage!
Everything added up. How Lu Yang, seemingly at Foundation Establishment Stage, could have a higher position in the Seek Dao Sect.
The only explanation was that Lu Yang’s cultivation level was far above his! “Who the hell are you!” Vice Sect Leader Liu demanded sharply. Being at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, Lu Yang must be a famed Great Power, yet he could not match Lu Yang to any of the ones he knew of.
Lu Yang stood on the podium, his hands clasped behind him and his robe billowing like a banished Immortal Sword.
With a flick of his robe he launched himself downward.
“I, am the Lord of Tofu!”
Now past midnight, bathed under the moonlight, he appeared as a noticeable streak in the darkness. As if he was nature’s favorite, garnering the attention of all.
Lu Yang released his energy, those bathed in the moonlight could feel a force far stronger than Unification stage emanating from him. Vice Sect Leader Liu couldn’t help but bow in awe.
“From beginning to end, I strike.”
Ripping the dark clouds apart with a gleaming sword, the ethereal blue Immortal Sword, descended like divine punishment, carrying the wrath of the Gods and the indifference of the Immortals to chastise all evildoers.
Facing a sword of such unimaginable power, Vice Sect Leader Liu hadn’t even the energy to retaliate. He felt his body freeze in place, unable to move.
All he could do was lift his head, eyes widening in shock, watching as the blue Immortal Sword fell towards him.
The Immortal Sword pierced through Vice Sect Leader Liu’s head.
“The sword is an ominous object, I do not wish to kill.”
Lord of Tofu had a cold look on his face as he turned and walked away, leaving an eternal silhouette behind.
In reality, the crowd gathered around, watching Vice Sect Leader Liu lay on the floor twitching in his sleep. They were curious about the dream Lu Yang had concocted for him.
In actuality, Lu Yang had been standing by Vice Sect Leader Liu all along. The figure speaking on the podium was the Grand Elder.
Once Vice Sect Leader Liu noticed that Lu Yang wasn’t there beside him, he had already entered the dream state.
With Yun Zhi’s understanding of how to use the Dream Pillow, an item belonging to Fairy Eternity, she activated the Dream Pillow from inside her storage ring directly, sinking Vice Sect Leader Liu into deep slumber and allowing Lu Yang to weave him a dream.
As for the other high ranking members, including Vice Sect Leader Gao, they were actually bagged and captured.
“It’s clearly my pillow, why don’t I get to use it!” Fairy Eternity also wanted to join in the fun but was blocked by Lu Yang.
“I’ll help you explore it for you. Over thirty thousand years have passed, maybe it has already gone bad.” Lu Yang took the dream-weaving ability for granted.
“By the way, did you use to need someone to sing in the past when using the Dream Pillow?” Lu Yang thought about the grandiose spectacle of the high- ranking members of the Eternity Sect chanting some ancient language as if they were offering sacrifices to some great entity.
“What were these people singing, anyway?”
Fairy Eternity thought for a moment before saying, “It’s a lullaby that I played with a doll when I was about to sleep. The lyrics are like, ‘Sleep, sleep, my dear little baby…’
The gusto with which the high-ranking members of the Eternity Sect sang was completely at odds with the actual lullaby, and it took her a moment to realize what they were singing.
Lu Yang:”…”
