Who Let Him Cultivate?!

“All thanks to your good instruction, Eldest Senior Sister.”

Lu Yang dared not slacken off in basic training. He recalled when he first started cultivating, his Eldest Senior Sister trained his basics by making tofu during the day and soaking in warm water at night. If he didn’t have a good stash of miraculous pills, he wouldn’t have even survived.

If the Eldest Senior Sister found out that his basics weren’t solid, and repeated that… Lu Yang shuddered at the thought.

No way, not again!

“Xiao Tao, gaining insight into the Yin Yang transformation of the Golden Core from the Twin Lotus and connecting it to illusion is great, but don’t forget that you’re also a Feather Transformation Immortal Body, don’t forget to refine it.”

“Yes, Eldest Senior Sister!”

“Alright, you two can review this battle later, for now, let’s watch the fight between Little Meng and Man Gu.”

“These two have been fighting for so long?” Tao Yaoye was surprised. She and Lu Yang had fought for such a long time, she didn’t expect that Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu could fight for even longer.

“Both of them are Body Cultivators, it’s not easy to distinguish victory.” Lu Yang was not surprised. Meng Jingzhou’s Golden Core had extraordinary effects against demons and ghosts, but was ineffective against Man Gu, who was also a Body Cultivator.

Man Gu held a demon beast leg bone, which was his war trophy from the dense forest, taken from a Nascent Soul Stage demon beast that he and Tao Yaoye had defeated together.

As Man Gu swung the demon beast leg bone, howling and shouting, he resembled a wild man. His eyes were filled with madness and savagery.

Lu Yang was puzzled; he had never seen Man Gu in such a state before. Moreover, this manner didn’t match Man Gu’s personality.

Although Man Gu relied on brute force in fights, he had never been so crazy, as if he were hunting demon beasts in the wilderness.

Meng Jingzhou was startled by Man Gu’s behavior, missed the initiative to fight, and was pressured from the start. He spent most of his energy on defense and seldom made attacks.

Although Man Gu’s fighting style was wild, upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a refined form of fight which balanced both attack and defense, formed after countless trials and adjustments.

“Huh, this fighting style is familiar. It’s the same as those of the barbarians I’ve met. They swarm up with stones and bones and crush their enemies’ skulls!” Fairy Eternity exclaimed excitedly at the familiar sight.

Lu Yang was intrigued, “This is the Ancient Barbarian Tribe’s way of fighting? But I heard that the Ancient Barbarian Tribe’s fighting style was lost?”

Indeed, the Barbarian’s lineage was severely interrupted and precious few records of ancient times remain.

“Have you forgotten? Man Gu’s bloodline has been blessed by me. Demon beasts can pass on their Divine Abilities and natural talents through their bloodline, naturally, I can do the same!”

When a demon beast reaches a certain realm, the inheriting force hidden in its bloodline will be unlocked, allowing the beast to learn its inherent Divine Ability.

The “Devouring” of the Gluttonous Tribes and the “Charming” of the Nine-tailed Fox Tribe are examples of this principle.

The purer the bloodline, the earlier the inheriting force will be activated.

“Right, what kind of Golden Core does Man Gu have?” Lu Yang turned to ask Tao Yaoye, surely there was no longer a need for secrecy.

“It seems to be the same as me, a Golden Core that was never seen before. It appears to be called Ancestral Pill, which is able to summon ancestral spirits to assist in battle.”

“So powerful?!” was Lu Yang’s astonished reaction, “Doesn’t this mean that the souls of the Ancient Barbarians still exist?”

Yun Zhi slowly shook her head: “Not as you think. As for souls, only Immortals have the ability to persist for three hundred thousand years.”

“Then what about Man Gu?”

“Although the souls of Man Gu’s ancestors disintegrated and returned to heaven and earth, since they share the same bloodline as Man Gu, they sensed the existence of the Barbarian Tribe and partly reformed their lost souls from heaven and earth. Following the bloodline of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe, they descended into Man Gu’s body. However, controlling a body in this way is mostly instinctual and lacks intelligence.”

Lu Yang recalled Fairy Eternity, while somewhat similar, it was far less against the heavens than Fairy Eternity’s method.

“So, Meng Jingzhou’s opponent isn’t just Man Gu, but the entirety of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe?” Lu Yang felt that Meng’s match was going to be tough.

The Ancient Barbarian Tribe were companions to Fairy Eternity, encountering one another as frequently as one does meals, having vast and plentiful combat experience. Where could Meng measure up?

On the stage, Meng Jingzhou was losing ground inch by inch, his Arhat Fist and the Shocking Heaven Six Forms were proving ineffective.

Man Gu’s eyes were lifeless, completely taken over by the ancestors of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe, fighting purely on instinct.

In physical strength, Meng Jingzhou had a slight edge over Man Gu, but he couldn’t match Man Gu’s wealth of experience.

The combat experience of the ancestors of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe added up to several hundred thousand years, how could Meng compete?

Although Man Gu had the upper hand and was continuously pressing Meng Jingzhou, he was unable to truly defeat him in a short time.

“Doesn’t Meng Jingzhou seem a bit off?”

Meng Jingzhou felt as if he had fallen into a strange state, within his body, his two single Golden Elixirs sensed Man Gu’s Golden Core, as if agitated, they spun out of control, like two small suns heating up his body. His body became clear, his acupoints opened, each one was absorbing and emitting spiritual energy.

As the two Golden Elixirs spun, Meng Jingzhou’s mind went blank, and his past experiences flooded into his mind one by one.

His past experiences shrank to the utmost degree, then suddenly exploded out, his mind booming like thunder.

Meng Jingzhou’s head swayed a bit, feeling as if the world was clearer than before.

“Did I just achieve enlightenment? Did I realize a set of boxing techniques?”

Meng Jingzhou clenched his fists, a little incredulous.

He had heard that enlightenment was elusive, most cultivators never experienced it in their lifetimes. He had only reached the Golden Core Stage, had he already achieved enlightenment?

And from the looks of it, it seemed that his twin single Golden Elixirs were assisting him in enlightenment?

“I knew it! My single Golden Elixirs are invincible!”

Meng Jingzhou mentally rehearsed the boxing set he had just realized, his expression becoming strange.

“This boxing technique seems to…”

“Hold up!” Meng Jingzhou raised his hand, stopping Man Gu’s attack.

“I just realized a set of boxing techniques. If you, the ancestors of the Barbarian Tribe, insist on fighting, don’t blame me for using this boxing technique!”

Man Gu stood still, seemingly wanting to hear what Meng Jingzhou would say next.

“The boxing technique I realized involves the power of causality and curse, and also carries the resentment of my single lineage!”

“Whoever is punched by me, will be like me in this lifetime, forever single. This is the Curse of Causality!”

“I named it ‘Single Curse Fist’!”

“This should be the inherent ability of the Double Single Golden Core!”

“If you are willing to let Man Gu get punched by this fist, then just keep attacking me!”

The ancestors of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe quickly jumped off the stage through Man Gu’s body to concede defeat.

Their instinct alerted them that Meng Jingzhou was telling the truth!
