Chapter 75: Immortal Might Descends, Shuiyu Valley is Destroyed (2)
“Sorry, Big Brother! I was too careless.”
Lü Er awkwardly rubbed his head.
“Careless? Didn’t you say that Qi Huang’s spiritual sense only reached the peak of the Transformation Realm? Even if you were careless, you shouldn’t have had your physical body killed by her!”
Lü Yi frowned.
“You probably wouldn’t believe it if I told you, her spiritual sense actually reached the Shentong Realm.”
Lü Er said as if presenting a treasure.
“What? Shentong Realm?”
Lü Yi immediately stood up from his stool.
“Yes, otherwise, how do you think she could have killed my physical body?”
Lü Er explained.
“Are you sure you’re talking about that Qi Huang, and not her main body, Cheng Hong Ling?”
Lü Yi disbelief confirmed.
“Of course it’s Qi Huang. With such a large clone mark between her eyebrows, how could I possibly mistake her?”
Lü Er nodded with certainty.
“This is impossible! Cheng Hong Ling just entered the Transformation Realm less than three years ago. This means her clone is at most a little over two years old. No matter what magic treasures or cultivation techniques she uses, it’s impossible to raise her spiritual sense to the Shentong Realm in such a short time.”
Lü Yi paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
“I don’t know either. I wanted to follow your instructions and investigate Hong Hua Sect after the Evergreen Convention. But unexpectedly, my physical body was killed by her. Do you think she might have relied on some heaven-defying magic treasure?”
Lü Er speculated.
“I thought that at first, but now I’m not so sure. Such an exaggerated growth speed is clearly not something that can be achieved by any magic treasure. Moreover, if there were such heaven-defying magic treasures in the Cultivation World, they would have long been occupied by some super sects, and wouldn’t have ended up in a remote place like Hong Hua Sect or even the Xihui Dynasty.”
Lü Yi shook his head and analyzed.
“Big Brother’s analysis is reasonable.”
Lü Er agreed wholeheartedly.
“But it doesn’t matter. With her performance, Cheng Hong Ling is already qualified to be my main wife. As long as I marry her, any magic treasures or cultivation techniques will become the property of my Lü Family.”
Lü Yi’s lips then curved upwards.
“Yes, but she doesn’t seem very willing.”
Lü Er awkwardly explained.
“Unwilling? My Lü Family is one of the foremost cultivator families in the Cultivation World, and we even have the Immortal Tablet. Did you introduce yourself?”
Lü Yi asked surprisingly.
“I did, but that woman is very arrogant. She said that the bloodline of immortals is nothing, and we are not worthy of her.”
Lü Er chuckled wryly.
“Hmph, what a haughty tone! I’m not encountering such an arrogant fairy for the first time. Unfortunately, any woman that this Young Master fancies, as long as she is not protected by the Immortal Tablet, can she escape my grasp?”
Lü Yi clenched his fists, making a cracking sound.
“Yes, moreover, she even killed my physical body. If I cannot subdue her, then what about my reputation?”
Lü Er seconded.
“I will go find Grandfather now. As long as I get his permission, I will immediately engrave this woman’s name on the Immortal Tablet. I want to use my actions to tell her that the bloodline of immortals can indeed determine everything.”
A trace of disdain appeared in Lü Yi’s eyes. Then he looked at his clone: “As for you! Since you are not as skilled as others, you must bear the responsibility yourself. Return to my Sea of Consciousness. There are no spare clones now. When this Young Master reaches the Heavenly Punishment Realm, I will get you a physical body.”
A hint of helplessness appeared on Lü Er’s face, because he knew that even with his main body’s talent, reaching the Heavenly Punishment Realm would not be something that could be done in a short time. If things went smoothly, it would take fifty to sixty years, and if not, it might take over a hundred years.
“What’s wrong? Not willing? You should know clearly that without the protection of a physical body, staying outside like this will lead to increasing Heavenly Dao pressure.”
Lü Yi reminded him unhappily.
Lü Er sighed, and finally returned to his main body’s Sea of Consciousness obediently.
Lü Yi then stood up, walked out of the room, and headed straight for his grandfather’s house in the backyard.
“Oh, right, I forgot to tell you one thing. Cheng Hong Ling was previously betrothed to a female disciple of a local sect. Therefore, her name has been engraved on the tombstone of that female disciple’s ancestor. Strictly speaking, she should be considered a married woman.”
Lü Er suddenly transmitted his thoughts.
“What? A married woman? And the other party is also a woman?”
Lü Yi stopped in his tracks with astonishment, then continued walking as if nothing had happened: “Since it’s a woman, it’s harmless.”
“You should understand that if we engrave Cheng Hong Ling’s name on the Immortal Tablet, this sect will suffer a disaster.”
Lü Er added.
“So what? The woman I fancy, she dares to get there first. As my clone, you should know my temper, shouldn’t you?”
Lü Yi said coldly.
“I know your temper, of course, but I know Grandfather’s temper even better. He doesn’t like anyone to hide anything from him.”
Lü Er reminded him seriously.
Lü Yi did not speak again and quickened his pace towards the backyard.
A moment later, he knocked on his grandfather’s door: “Grandfather, your grandson has something to ask of you.”
“Come in, grandson!”
The voice of Lü Dao, the strongest in the Lü Family, came from inside. From his gentle tone, one could tell that he doted on this grandson very much.
“Grandfather, are you in good health?”
Lü Yi asked respectfully. Only when facing the strongest person in the Lü Family did he show a sliver of etiquette.
“Don’t worry, your grandfather is a cultivator, not so fragile.”
Lü Dao got up from the bed and then asked: “Didn’t your Heavenly Soul Clone go to the Xihui Dynasty to participate in the Evergreen Convention? According to the time, the competition should be more than halfway through by now. How is the situation?”
“It’s precisely because of this matter that your grandson has come to bother you. That clone of mine had a deathmatch on the arena with the female cultivator Elder Zuo mentioned. His physical body was killed by the opponent.”
Lü Yi explained.
“What? I remember your Heavenly Soul Clone should have the cultivation of the peak of the Transformation Realm. In a remote small country like the Xihui Dynasty, how could an Immortal Seed kill his physical body?”
Lü Dao also questioned with surprise.
“Grandfather, that female cultivator is not as simple as Elder Zuo said. Although her own cultivation is only at the early stage of the Transformation Realm, she has a clone whose spiritual sense has reached the early stage of the Shentong Realm.”
Lü Yi explained.
“Aren’t you kidding Grandfather? Not to mention that it’s impossible for a clone’s spiritual sense to be stronger than its main body, just looking at her cultivation, the clone could have only cultivated for a few years at most. How could its spiritual sense reach the Shentong Realm?”
Lü Dao raised the same question.
Lü Yi naturally could not confirm and could only vaguely attribute it to some magic treasure or cultivation technique.
“I have lived for hundreds of years and have never heard of such heaven-defying magic treasures or cultivation techniques in the Cultivation World. However, nothing is absolute. We can secretly send someone to investigate that girl. If we can really obtain such a method to strengthen spiritual sense, it will benefit our Lü Family immensely.”
Lü Dao expressed his thoughts.
“No need. Your grandson has taken a liking to Cheng Hong Ling. As long as I can marry her, then both her person, magic treasures, and cultivation techniques will belong to the Lü Family. However, this requires your permission, which is why your grandson has come to see you.”
Lü Yi seized the opportunity to state his intentions.
“That girl only reached the early stage of the Transformation Realm at the age of 18. Although her talent is only average, she has a clone whose spiritual sense has reached the Shentong Realm. She can be considered the best after the eight of you little monsters. Moreover, she also possesses an unknown method for strengthening spiritual sense. She is barely qualified to be your main wife.”
Lü Dao judged. However, he then changed the subject: “But you should know, Grandfather still hopes that you can marry a descendant of an immortal, so that it can be considered a suitable match.”
“Grandfather, you also know that those three women are all very arrogant and not easy to win over.”
Lü Yi shook his head helplessly. The three women he mentioned were the three fairies among the Nine Great Prodigies, all of whom were descendants of immortals, so he could not use force.
“However, regarding wives and concubines, who would ever complain about having too many? Marrying Cheng Hong Ling does not mean that I can’t marry other women. Your grandson will continue to work hard in the future and strive to marry all three of those women as your granddaughters-in-law.”
Lü Yi continued with great ambition.
“What spirit.”
Lü Dao immediately praised, then said: “Grandfather permits this matter.”
“Thank you, Grandfather, for fulfilling my wish. To avoid any further complications, I want to engrave Cheng Hong Ling’s name on the Immortal Tablet as soon as possible. Before that, your grandson has one more thing to tell you.”
Lü Yi then narrated the matter between Cheng Hong Ling and Mu Ruoyi.
“Since the one involved with her is a woman, it’s harmless. However, marrying a married woman would still somewhat tarnish the reputation of our Lü Family. Therefore, you don’t need to worry about the life and death of Shuiyu Valley. Do what you need to do.”
A cold smile appeared on Lü Dao’s face.
“Yes! Your grandson will immediately report to Father and Mother, and then go to the Immortal Tablet to engrave her name.”
Lü Yi excitedly bowed, and then walked out.
