Chapter 122: Accompanying Growth, Emperor's Stature Clashes with Lun Gu! (Part 1)

If it were him, he would have blasted them away without hesitation!

After all, they were enemies, and the Sect-Protecting Formation was a sect's first line of defense against external threats. Without breaking through this barrier, they couldn't get in.

Even if some special individuals had secret methods to infiltrate, why would they choose to do so openly and boldly?

In truth, he had already arrived.

He had simply refrained from taking action, wanting to observe the progress of Yaoyao, who carried the template of the Tyrant Empress, after more than a year.

But he never expected her to bring him such a delightful surprise.

As for the other elders, he was naturally aware of their presence.

However, given Lu Ming's current abilities, it was surprising that they were able to detect him.

"It's just that..."

"Her growth has exceeded my expectations."

"I thought that the Heaven Devouring Dharmic Skill I created would be sufficient for her to use for a while, but I never imagined that on the path of the Tyrant, she has already surpassed me."

"It makes sense, though. While I can share the talents of my disciples, I have to divide my attention among them all. When creating the skill, I didn't fully focus on the Tyrant Emperor's technique, and without similar experiences, even with an 'omniscient perspective,' it's difficult to have that mindset."

"With talent and an omniscient perspective, if one can't fully immerse themselves in the 'role,' wouldn't the transmission of the skill naturally be slower?"

"Additionally, during this time, I also created other techniques..."

"But this girl still surprises me beyond words. It's not just about the Heaven Devouring Dharmic Skill; she has even made progress in the exclusive secret techniques of the Tyrant Emperor, hasn't she?"

"However, I still can't share her combat power and talent, which means that although she has gained some notoriety, she hasn't reached the A-grade talent level yet?"

"..."

"The difficulty of enhancing a mortal body is truly terrifying."

Lu Ming's mind raced as he slowly waved his hand, creating countless sword energies that transformed into a sword energy tornado, shattering their attacks and severely injuring them, rendering them unable to fight back for a short while.

It was over!

Their faces turned pale in an instant.

Lu Ming looked at Yaoyao, who understood his intention and proceeded to take action.

She activated the Heaven Devouring Dharmic Skill, beginning to 'devour' everything that originally belonged to them.

Before long, Yaoyao recovered and even surpassed her previous strength.

Her talent also significantly improved.

Finally reaching the 'Celestial Rank,' which is above A-grade.

Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh as he saw Yaoyao's phantom appear in the shared state.

This girl had finally embarked on this path.

Before he could speak, Yaoyao had already begun to purge the entire Sky Wind Sect.

With her strength, the strongest members of the Sky Wind Sect, who were at the third stage, were no match for her. In less than half an hour, they all became nourishment for the Heaven Devouring Dharmic Skill...

"Master!"

She returned and knelt at Lu Ming's feet.

"Oh?"

Lu Ming was surprised and helped her up, "You can recognize me?"

Goodness.

Her Thousand Transformations Art should be able to conceal her identity even from Ninth Stage Great Powerhouses, yet this girl, currently at the fifth level of the third stage, had seen through her disguise.

"It's because of the Heaven Devouring Dharmic Skill."

Yaoyao finally revealed a sweet smile, "I can sense the origin of the martial soul, and I remember Master's 'origin energy.' Although I can't see through your disguise, the origin cannot be faked."

"That's how I knew it was you, Master."

"Besides, who else would help me?"

"..."

Lu Ming fell silent, gently ruffling her black hair, and said softly, "In the end, you've chosen this path."

"This path is destined to be arduous and misunderstood by the world."

"In the future, you may stand against countless people, and many will view you as a great demon, eager to eliminate you."

"As for this..."

Yaya raised her head, her gaze firm, "I am prepared for all of this, Master."

"I don't have any talent."

"Only by doing this can I bring my brother back."

"Moreover, whether it's the Heaven Devouring Dharmic Energy or other techniques, I firmly believe that cultivation methods have no inherent morality; it is the cultivator who determines their path."

"At least, until today, I have never killed indiscriminately. Those I've killed were all deserving of their fate."

"You little rascal."

Lu Ming smiled upon hearing her words, knowing that she had built a mental barrier, so he wasn't worried. Instead, he said, "Are you lecturing me now?"

"You want to drive the Sky Wind Sect to the brink of extinction, and you're not satisfied?"

"I know that you're inherently kind-hearted, but being overly kind isn't always a good thing."

"Who deserves to be killed and who doesn't?"

"What warrants killing?"

"Those who defy reason and law, as well as enemies, deserve to be killed."

"Since you've made enemies, there's no need to be fixated on who deserves to be killed."

He admonished, "Sometimes, when it's necessary to kill, you must do so. This isn't the act of a demon cultivator; it's a normal means for any cultivator."

Lu Ming sighed helplessly and smiled.

"Blame me, then."

"When you suddenly proposed to venture out, I didn't even give you a copy of the sect rules."

"But it doesn't matter. You have your own path to walk, and since you've made your decision, there's no need for regrets."

"But remember..."

Lu Ming and Yaya looked at each other, their expressions incredibly sincere. "No matter what happens in the future, no matter what you face, even if the whole world opposes you, the Moonseizing Sect will always be your home."

"I will always be your Master."

Yaya rushed into Lu Ming's embrace, tears welling in her eyes.

Only in front of him did she reveal her true self.

To others, she was a ruthless and feared individual.

But wasn't she also just a little girl, not yet ten years old? Her ruthlessness and decisiveness in killing were merely her protective colors.

Lu Ming rubbed her little head, feeling much happier.

Suddenly, she lifted her head and asked, "Master, have you been secretly following me all this time?"

"I haven't, honestly."

"I must let you have your freedom."

"I believe that even if I hadn't shown up, you would have been able to retreat safely. But it's still not entirely foolproof."

"When faced with such a situation, either don't act, or if you do, make sure to thoroughly eradicate them, leaving no trace, no chance for them to retaliate or turn the tables!"

"Otherwise, it might become a lingering worry. But it's not entirely your fault; I didn't give you the sect rules beforehand, so it's normal that you didn't know."

"Later, I'll give you a copy of the sect rules. In the future, remember to always act according to them and be more cautious."

At this moment, he was like an old father, a bit nagging.

But Yaya didn't show the slightest impatience. She listened attentively, nodding and responding with 'yes, yes,' indicating she understood and agreed.

"But... while it's important to be cautious when you're out there, the most crucial thing is still strength."

"Your Master, Zhuo Bufen, wasn't wrong about his disciple being smart and having a good brain. But no matter how good your brain is, it's not as useful as strength."

"With insufficient strength, you might not even be able to detect the presence of your Master."

"If the Sky Wind Sect were strong enough, today, both of us, Master and disciple, would have been defeated here."

"So..."

Seeing her looking at him expectantly, Lu Ming's heart, like that of an old father, softened immediately.

"Never mind, I won't say more."

"You little rascal, you make my heart ache."

"Here, I'll give you a copy of the sect rules. Memorize them, and remember to follow them carefully in the future."

"Yes, Master."

Yaya quickly skimmed through the sect rules, her face showing surprise.

Was she... also a person who met the criteria for taking on disciples? No wonder Uncle Li Feihu had brought her back.

But why were these sect rules so odd? "Master, I've memorized them."

"Yes, even though you're young, you've managed to live so well on your own. I'll leave you to it, then."

"Hehe."

Yaya took out a storage bag.

Lu Ming rolled his eyes. "I'm not going to search through your spoils."

If it were another disciple, he might have taken a look to see if there was anything they needed, but Yaya's spoils... he'd let her handle them herself.

Because she was different from the other disciples.

Once the Heaven Devouring Dharmic Energy reached a certain level of cultivation, the entire world would be within her grasp.

Not only could she absorb the essence, talent, cultivation, and even the very bones of living beings, but she could also devour various treasures and magic tools.

Even...

She could even devour the heavens!

These resources, she could devour as well!

Even if she can't do it now, she certainly will in the future.

In that case, leaving them for her is the best choice.

"So, keeping them for you is the best option."

Ya Ya didn't refuse and immediately hung the storage bag on her waist with a giggle.

Then, Lu Ming took action and directly 'skinned' the Tian Feng Sect.

The skin of their bodies.

Not even a decent spirit plant was left.

At this point, the Tian Feng Sect had nothing left, and the master and disciple left side by side like father and daughter.

"How long does the master plan to stay?"

"Oh, are you trying to rush me away?"

"Not at all, I just want to be mentally prepared."

"Then... I'll accompany you for a few days."

"After that, I still have something to do."

"Hehe, good!"

"..."

In Lu Ming's opinion, companionship was quite important.

Ya Ya was still too young and easily influenced by others.

Although, theoretically, with the Tyrant Empress template, her temperament and values were not a concern, but what if? Moreover, this ghost era was too 'brilliant', with countless protagonist templates appearing one after another. What if she encountered another protagonist template and ended up changing or facing other crises?

If she changed her temperament, even though he could still share her talent and combat power, it wouldn't be as perfect as having her remain his obedient and well-behaved disciple. Therefore, spending some time to accompany her was undoubtedly the best choice.

However...

The Heaven Devouring Dharmic Energy, he hadn't brought it up.

Because Ya Ya had already successfully created it, and it was even one level higher than his own creation...

There was no need to bring it up and embarrass himself.

Even more, this little girl had created a series of Tyrant Empress techniques, and her future path was something he didn't need to worry too much about.

Instead, the original version of the 'Xing Zi' secret technique was far superior to the escape technique she created on her own. He could pass it on to her.

"After all..."

"When it comes to escaping, the faster, the better."

"No, what escape? It's traveling! This is called traveling~!"

"..."

"Let me out!"

"Let me out, damn it!"

"I'll never learn your broken heritage, let me out!"

In the Lun Gu Tomb, Wang Teng, in the form of an Emperor, finally revealed his true self.

After being trapped for so long, he had exhausted all means and efforts, but he still couldn't get out of the tomb, leaving him almost hopeless.

He had even used the Artificial Sun Fist!

And not just once.

But...

He couldn't see a trace of an exit.

At this moment, he was almost in despair.

"Let me out, damn it!"

"Lun Gu, what the hell are you thinking?!"

"This is your burial ground, your heritage site, and you want to trap your successor to death? I need to get out!"

"I still have to hunt down the people of the two great families!"

"The task the master gave me is not yet complete. How long do you plan to keep me trapped? You can't seriously want to trap me to death, can you?"

"Lun Gu, damn it!"

"..."

Wang Teng felt helpless.

I'm about to lose my temper!

This was supposed to be a great opportunity, to receive the heritage of an Earth Immortal, and I should be delighted, right? But instead, it turned out to be such a disappointing heritage.

A disappointing heritage is one thing, but not letting me out after receiving it? Is that how you play the game?

Who would think of trapping their successor to death in a tomb?!"

He couldn't help but curse and even started cursing Lun Gu's parents...

Suddenly, a long sigh echoed: "Kid, who are you?"

"Who?!"

Wang Teng abruptly stood up, preparing to use the Artificial Sun Fist.

"..."

A wisp of blue smoke rose from the ground, transforming into a faint and aged figure: "I, Lun Gu... my lingering soul."

"I'm on the verge of dissipating."

"After you received my heritage, I gradually regained some consciousness."

"But you, kid, are being very unreasonable."

He grumbled, "After receiving my heritage, you don't show gratitude or feel fortunate, and on top of that, you dare to insult me?"

"This is simply outrageous!"

"Oh? So, you're Lun Gu?"

Wang Teng's eyes turned red.

Damn it, if I wasn't afraid of losing to you, I'd show you who's boss.

"Who trapped me in this tomb? If you let me out, I wouldn't be cursing you!"

"..."

Lun Gu felt even more depressed: "Who told you not to cultivate my heritage?"

"This is the Imperial Scripture!"

"Trapping you here is to provide a quiet and safe environment for you to cultivate my heritage. Once you successfully enter, you will naturally be teleported out."

"I want to ask you, what were you thinking?!"

"I, Lun Gu, was once among the most outstanding Earth Immortals, dominating an era and killing until no one dared to challenge me! Back then, who dared to show disrespect when my name was mentioned?"

"And you!"

"You received my heritage but showed no respect, and even now, months have passed, yet you haven't cultivated at all!"

"Tell me, why?"

Lun Gu's lingering soul was furious.

He also felt insulted...

It was as if an extremely beautiful woman, wearing only a palm-sized piece of fabric, appeared before a robust man, teasing him seductively, but the man showed no reaction.

He didn't even want to look at her.

If this man were gay or impotent, it would be fine.

But Wang Teng was capable!

He clearly possessed peerless talent, even the form of an Emperor!

And his fate was similar to Lun Gu's, making it extremely easy for him to enter the heritage.

As soon as this man made a move, the beauty would embrace him, but he wouldn't even give her a glance. How could the beauty be happy about this?

It's an insult!

An absolute insult!

This is exactly how Lang Gu felt at this moment.

I, Lang Gu, the Earth Immortal and heir to the Lang Gu Emperor's legacy, have a heritage that countless people dream of but can't obtain. They don't even dare to imagine it, yet you have it and won't take it? No, you have it but won't learn it?

How dare he! He must give Wang Teng an explanation.

Otherwise, even if I'm just a mere remnant soul, I can't accept this.

I'm afraid I'll be so angry that my soul will scatter...

Well, I was already about to have my soul scattered.

But naturally scattering is better than being infuriated to death!

But...

Upon hearing these words, Wang Teng became furious.

"You have the nerve to talk about your 'Emperor's Scripture' and your immortal legacy?"

"Hmph!"

"What nonsense!"

"Repeated defeats, and then fighting again? At first glance, it seems like persistence, but in the end, isn't it just that you can't beat others?"

"A string of humiliating losses! Not a single victory!"

"In the end, you went insane, right? After a hundred defeats, a demonic fetus is born... Isn't that going insane?"

"What kind of legacy is it that can only make you stronger by going insane?
