Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 379: Chapter 378 Dark Moon Sword_1

Lu Yang thought, proving his status as a monk enlightened in the Golden Buddha Kingdom, his words carried Zen wisdom.

Lu Yang became increasingly curious: “Elder, how did you meet this monk?”

“This monk is of a high generation, a master of the ‘Ming’ character tier. His heart reached the heavens, his Dharma name is Tomorrow, and those who know him call him Master Tomorrow.”

“At the time, Master Tomorrow and I were both interested in the same woman. She could not serve two men, so Master Tomorrow and I started competing, mainly to see who had more Spirit Stones. In my youth, I applied for many patents, and I was never afraid of anyone when it came to Spirit Stones.”

“When Master Tomorrow realized he couldn’t compete with me in terms of Spirit Stones, he asked me to yield, saying that he appreciated my destiny and wanted to give me the True Fire of Detachment. I declined, but the master insisted and forced the True Fire of Detachment on me.”

“At that moment, I felt that a beauty was nothing more than a skull with color, so why should I waste my time in a brothel? So, I left the brothel.”

“Later, I thought about finding Master Tomorrow to discuss this matter, hoping for a chance to give him a good lesson.”

“Unfortunately, Master Tomorrow was well versed in Buddhist teachings and left me speechless. Most importantly, Master Tomorrow’s cultivation level was superb, he had reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and Old Three and I couldn’t beat him.”

Lu Yang: “…”

Did Third Elder’s Shocking Heaven Six Forms aim to shake not the heavens, but Master Tomorrow?

“By the way, did you have Buddhism at that time, Fairy?”

“Yes.”

Lu Yang was very surprised. According to the Buddhist records, Buddhism has a long history, dating back to ancient times. However, after getting to know Fairy Eternity and learning about the existence of the Five Immortals of the Ancients, he felt that Buddhism was a fabricated history to elevate their value.

If Buddhism existed in ancient times, and there was a Buddha, why hadn’t Fairy Eternity ever mentioned Buddha?

Lu Yang doubted if the Five Immortals of the Ancients could compare to Buddha.

“Were there really? Did Buddha exist? Was he an immortal?”

“As far as I remember, within Buddhism there were Buddha, numerous Buddhas floating across the sky, countless Arhats and Bodhisattvas, and a Thirty-three Heavens structure and such, right?”

“Yes, it’s recorded in many classics.”

Fairy Eternity revealed a cunning smile: “Do you think this setting method is similar to the Heavenly Court?”

“!!!” Lu Yang’s face revealed a vastly shocked expression as he thought of a possibility.

Fairy Eternity was pleased with Lu Yang’s expression and laughed: “Yes, Buddhism was something created by the five of us together.”

That’s why Fairy Eternity confidently claimed that her Arhat Fruit Fist was more orthodox than the Arhat Fist.

She was one of the founders of Buddhism, with an extraordinary status and supreme authority. Whoever she deemed orthodox, was orthodox.

Lu Yang took a deep breath. The deception level of the Five Immortals of the Ancients was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

The several Heavenly Court settings you five created did not survive, but the Buddhism setting you created has spread to this day and was even further developed by later generations.

Fifth Elder didn’t know that Lu Yang was conversing with Fairy Eternity. Seeing the change in Lu Yang’s expression, he found it very strange.

But in the Seek Dao Sect, it wasn’t that odd.

In his youth, Old Nine fantasized about having a beast from an ancient time sealed within him and that the beast’s breath would destroy all if it leaked out. Hence, Old Nine claimed to have sealed away his feelings and always maintained an indifferent expression.

Sometimes, he would clutch his wrist in pain, saying he could not suppress the beast inside and asking everyone to run.

Now, if anyone mentions this to Old Nine, he becomes agitated and brandishes his sword at people.

Compared to Old Nine who sometimes kneels on the ground and sobs, Lu Yang’s facial expression changes are rather normal.

“Perhaps this is the inheritance of the mentor and pupil, the destiny of the Sword Spirit Root.” Fifth Elder whispered.

“Ah, Fifth Elder, what did you say about the destiny of the Sword Spirit Root?” Lu Yang snapped back to reality. When he heard Fifth Elder mention the destiny of the Sword Spirit Root, his heart tightened.

Could it be that the Sword Spirit Root has a hidden destiny? For example, every generation of Sword Spirit Root has enemies, but each Sword Spirit Root has failed and lived in regret?

Is the master’s indulgence in the game of mortal world an expression of regret and a means to vent?

The more Lu Yang thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

“True Fire of Detachment is the true fire I most frequently use for refining. Artifacts refined with the True Fire of Detachment can keep the owners as calm as possible in battles.”

Fifth Elder strongly believed that staying calm was the key to victory.

Fifth Elder raised his hand again, took the true fire from another small bottle: “This is the Six-Ding Divine Fire, the ancestral true fire passed down from generation to generation in Hundred Refinement Peak. It can devour impurities and is most suitable for refining. Fire Stone and Spirit Stone from the mountaintop in the Immortal Sword need to be purified and separated by the Six-Ding Divine Fire.”

He placed the Six-Ding Divine Fire in the center of the refining room, activated the Array Method engraved on the ground and the walls, the temperature in the room rose sharply. Lu Yang had to use the Three Flavored True Fire to protect himself to feel more comfortable.

Fifth Elder ignored the high temperature, his eyes fixed on the Immortal Sword. The flames licked the Immortal Sword, melting and devouring the outermost layer of fairy gold powder.

The Immortal Sword revealed its original appearance, grey and black. It was not at all remarkable, and one would not know it was an Immortal Sword made of two precious and unique rocks.

Under the burning of the Six-Ding Divine Fire, the Immortal Sword melted and split into two clusters of metallic liquid, one red and one black. Both were full of spirituality. Fifth Elder lifted his hammer, striking the metallic liquid forcefully.

With the impact, the metallic liquid burst open in the flames, but it could never escape the enclosure of the Six-Ding Divine Fire.

Fifth Elder raised his left hand, and the floating True Fire of Detachment rushed into the Six-Ding Divine Fire. The two true fires fused, possessing the characteristics of both.

Lu Yang didn’t understand the significance of this move. However, if a knowledgeable refiner saw it, it would be enough to overturn his concept of refining.

The two metallic liquids of Fire Stone and Peak Spirit Stone gradually merged into one, forming a shape — a sword embryo.

Fifth Elder took the sword embryo out of the true fire and swiped along both sides of the embryo with two fingers. A magnificent pattern began to emerge clearly. This was the sword pattern, which could reduce the wear and tear on the Spirit Sword and increase its usage period.

Each magic artifact has a specific pattern, but most refiners do not master the engraving method of these patterns. Those who can create one with just a swipe like Fifth Elder are few and far between.

ssssh—

The glowing red sword embryo was gently quenched in water several times until its temperature dropped and its original color, silver-white, was revealed.

Only after attaching the hilt, pommel and other decorations did Fifth Elder declare success.

“Here, give it a try.” Fifth Elder tossed the Spirit Sword to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang swung the sword and found it to be very light, as if it was an extension of his arm. Swinging it was instinctive, refreshing and pleasant.

“Break!”

“Chop!”

“Slice!”

Lu Yang performed each sword technique smoothly, without the slightest awkwardness, as if he had been using this sword for a long time.

Once he completed the set of sword techniques, Lu Yang stood with his sword behind his back, his smile unperturbed: “Good sword!”

“Go ahead, name it.” Said Fifth Elder with a big grin.

Examining the pattern of his new Spirit Sword, Lu Yang laughed: “The sword is a weapon for killing. The sword body is silver-white, like the silver moon hanging in the sky. Let’s call it Dark Moon Sword.”

Fifth Elder nodded: “Green Peak Sword, Dark Moon Sword. Green Peak and Dark Moon do match.”
