Chapter 195: The Prototype of the Immortal Ariya-Phala

Translator: yikaii Editor: yikaii

“Are you really an immortal, the Everlasting Celestial?” Lu Yang’s body trembled, his hands fidgeted, and he couldn’t stop smiling with excitement.

“My child, don’t be so excited, I am right here,” the Everlasting Celestial said with a gentle face. “You are the first-place winner of this competition. Although the first-place performer in the Qi Cultivation group had notable merits, they do not surpass you. You truly deserve to be the first-place winner.”

“As a reward, I will fulfill one of your wishes.” “A wish? Are there any conditions?”

“Just state it; I am omnipotent.” “I wish for the world to always be at peace.”

“How about another one?” The Everlasting Celestial tentatively asked, admitting his previous statement might have been a bit exaggerated.

In order to possess Lu Yang, he had to erase his soul, which was rooted deeply within his body. Even if removed, the roots remained, complicating a complete possession and hindering future cultivation.

The best approach was to fulfill his wish, thus detaching the roots of his soul, allowing for a perfect possession.

He thought Lu Yang, being only at the Foundation Building stage and an unaffiliated cultivator, would have modest wishes, perhaps asking for a celestial treasure at most, which could be given and then reclaimed after the possession.

“I wish for everyone to be able to become immortals.” “……”

That was harder than the previous one.

“I wish for productivity to greatly develop so that people can obtain resources without labor and freely choose their preferred activities.”

“……Change it.”

Are you here to run a demonic sect, or are you planning to overthrow the Great Xia Dynasty and start a new dynasty?

Lu Yang looked somewhat disappointed at the Everlasting Celestial, wondering if this immortal was truly capable. He boasted bigger than Yellow Bean, yet couldn’t fulfill a single wish.

The Everlasting Celestial was irked by Lu Yang’s gaze, but he knew this matter couldn’t be rushed.

“My child, all your wishes are related to the world. Don’t you have any personal wishes?” the Everlasting Celestial patiently guided, hoping Lu Yang would express a desire to become immortal, giving him a reason to possess Lu Yang.

Using your body to become immortal counts as fulfilling a wish!

“Yes, I wish to cultivate to the level of creating and reshaping universes.” “……”

Can your wishes be a bit smaller?

If I were capable of that, would I still be here sweet-talking you? Seeing that the Everlasting Celestial lacked capability, Lu Yang stepped back.

“I have an Eldest Senior Sister, her cultivation is unmatched, and I wish to defeat her.”

“Ha ha ha, that is effortlessly done, I could suppress her with a flick of my wrist,” the Everlasting Celestial laughed heartily, finally hearing a simple wish.

Just a Foundation Building stage Senior Sister, how high could her cultivation be? For the grand Everlasting Celestial, suppressing such a minor figure was child’s play.

“After possessing you, I will suppress that young lady for you!”

“Possession?!” Lu Yang’s pupils shrank, never expecting that the promised blessing from an immortal would turn into possession. He turned and ran, trying to escape from this den of evil.

“Give up, if you can escape from me, where would I put my face!” Lu Yang felt the overwhelming pressure from the Everlasting Celestial, akin to a mountain, and despair filled his heart.

Would the outcome change if he had not won?

Would the outcome change if he had not made a wish? Would the outcome change if he had not joined the Undying Sect?

Panic, regret, fear… Numerous emotions surged through him, but it was too late.

The Everlasting Celestial, seeing the expression on Lu Yang’s face, could not help but sneer, transforming back into dense smoke and flying into Lu Yang’s mental space.

Then he was immediately slapped. Snap—

A crisp slap sounded, and the Everlasting Celestial was sent flying.

“Are you the bastard pretending to be me?” A petulant woman began beating up the Everlasting Celestial. To an uninformed outsider, it would look like a reckless young woman attacking a centenarian.

“Let me tell you, even Ying Tian and the others from ancient times wouldn’t dare to do this, who do you think you are!” “Impersonating me, have you paid your respects, offered your tribute, did I nod in approval?”

“Who is this!” Everlasting Celestial was baffled, unable to grasp what had just happened before he was slapped. Why are there other people in the spiritual space? Is this kid so popular that everyone is lining up to possess him?

“I don’t even recognize you, and yet you have the face to show yourself around?” Everlasting Fairy had long found him distasteful. He was masquerading under the name “Immortal” and deceiving others, while she, the real deal, was either despised by Lu Yang or bullied by Yun Zhi, living a miserable existence.

Finally, the Everlasting Celestial has entered the frame, and she could give him a proper thrashing!

The Everlasting Celestial looked unfamiliar to her; he was not one of the people she knew.

“Fairy Fist Technique!” Everlasting Fairy made up a name and began pummeling Everlasting Celestial with punches that came down like rain, crisp and rapid.

The technique seemed random but was exquisitely mastered; each strike was unpredictable.

The Everlasting Celestial felt every blow hit his vital and weak spots. Although he was in a soul state, he felt like he was about to cough up blood and kneel, his soul threatening to disperse into nothingness.

What kind of demon or specter is this?

“Too much bullying!” Everlasting Celestial roared in anger. He wielded the immortal ariya-phala, and since his resurrection, he had been revered by the Undying Sect, getting everything his way, everything going smoothly. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

“Immortal Through the Ages!”

Everlasting Celestial shouted angrily, a golden light emanating from his palm, ethereal and brilliant, too dazzling to look at directly. This golden light was neither material nor soul but something beyond both.

It possessed a strange power that made it seem indestructible and untouchable by any law. Any attack that fell on Everlasting Celestial would dissolve into nothingness.

“Prototype of the immortal ariya-phala?” Everlasting Fairy was surprised, finally understanding where the familiar faint aura on the sect leader came from.

This imposter, he did have something of note.

“You are insightful, this is indeed the ariya-phala. Before it, I am immortal, ageless, undying, and indestructible, the only one through the ages, all destinies dissolve into nothingness, all attacks turn into void, your assaults cannot harm me!”

Having displayed the ariya-phala, Everlasting Celestial felt confident.

Yellow Bean showed a disdainful smile: “Is that all? Proud of a mere imitation of me?” “Fairy Fist Technique!”

Yellow Bean swung her fists again, shattering the barrier that Everlasting Celestial was proud of, her fists unrelenting, hitting directly on the face.

“This prototype of ariya-phala is somewhat interesting.” Everlasting Fairy casually snatched the prototype of ariya-phala, holding the golden material in her hands, curiously observing it.

Inside the golden material, countless runes and laws emerged and vanished, hinting at the eternal changes, the true meaning of immortality.

Lu Yang curiously looked over, but Everlasting Fairy pushed him aside: “Go away, your realm is not high enough, you can’t look at this.”

“What have you done?!” the Everlasting Celestial panicked, originally the prototype of the ariya-phala was closely connected to him, even more intimately than his soul, supposedly impossible to separate by any force.

But now, he couldn’t feel the connection to the prototype of ariya-phala at all! He had completely lost control over it!

Who is she! How did she do it!

“Boasting about ariya-phala in front of me is like bringing a knife to a gunfight,” Everlasting Fairy said smugly. Then another ethereal voice echoed, resonating in the Everlasting Celestial’s ears, “I heard you want to suppress me?”

Only then did the Everlasting Celestial realize, besides Lu Yang and the mysterious woman who had taken his ariya-phala, there was a third person in the spiritual space!

How many people are in your spiritual space?! Do we need to take queue numbers for possession these days?
