Chapter 1096: The Sacred Body is Not Good

“Good, then I shall appoint you as the imperial historian of this dynasty, to record its affairs!”

Immortal Fairy, who highly valued ceremony, referred to herself as “I” (朕) when appointing Qinghe. She transformed, appearing in an imperial robe embroidered with her own image on the front and Senior Sister’s image on the back.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

“Come, come, let’s celebrate,” Yun Mengmeng called out, raising her cup. The Soybean Dynasty had gained another formidable general, which was truly cause for celebration.

Yun Zhi hesitated, wondering if she should raise her cup. It seemed everyone else present, apart from herself, belonged to the Soybean Dynasty.

However, the Immortal Fairy didn't seem to notice this, and even suggested recruiting her into the Soybean Dynasty.

Never mind, she thought. I shouldn't draw too much attention and make the Fairy notice me. I’ll just go with the flow.

Everyone raised their cups to celebrate the growing power of the Soybean Dynasty, enjoying a harmonious moment.

“My Lady, have you always resided in Lu Yang’s spiritual space?” Qinghe finally couldn’t hold back the question that had been on her mind throughout their journey.

“Indeed, I’ve been living here since my resurrection, and it’s incredibly comfortable.”

As she spoke of the spiritual space, Immortal Fairy became animated, gesturing wildly for a while before suddenly remembering her severe injuries had not yet healed. She quickly coughed a few times.

“Come, come, all my beloved ministers, come and visit my spiritual space.”

“Fairy, this is *my* spiritual space,” Lu Yang reminded her.

“Then come and visit *our* spiritual space, mine and little Yangzi’s.”

Even though Lu Yang consistently asserted it was his spiritual space, with just a thought, Immortal Fairy opened the gates of the spiritual space, allowing everyone to enter freely. Lu Yang could only stare helplessly.

“What a beautiful palace,” Yun Mengmeng exclaimed, looking up and turning around in genuine admiration.

“It is indeed impressive,” Yun Zhi nodded, adding, “While the Immortal Fairy’s taste in imperial robes is questionable, her skill in constructing a palace is quite remarkable.”

She knew the Great Xia Imperial Palace was beautiful, so she copied it.

Lu Yang’s spiritual space could be considered the center of the Soybean Dynasty, featuring the Soybean Imperial Palace, where Immortal Fairy usually resided in her bedchambers.

“My Lady, would you like to move into my spiritual space? Mine is much larger!” Qinghe enthusiastically pitched.

“Certainly not.” Immortal Fairy rejected Qinghe’s suggestion without a second thought. She preferred staying in little Yangzi’s spiritual space, where interesting things happened every day, making it far more enjoyable than during ancient times.

“Why don’t you also live here?”

The spiritual space was so vast; having Qinghe there would add more liveliness.

Honestly, Qinghe was tempted. It would be good to live with her Lady, to serve her as she did in ancient times, and also to keep an eye on Lu Yang to prevent him from causing trouble.

However, she had a concern: “What about my physical body...?”

It was safer to keep her body somewhere visible.

Immortal Fairy had already thought of a solution: “That’s simple. Little Yangzi’s Azure Edge Sword contains a small world. You can temporarily place your body there.”

“I obey my Lady!”

Qinghe immediately let her soul depart from her body, depositing her physical form in the Azure Edge Sword’s small world, and her soul entered the spiritual space. Lu Yang, despite his decisiveness, hadn't even had time to react.

“Then can the two of us also live in the spiritual space?” Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi, seeing such a good opportunity, were also tempted.

Immortal Fairy looked at the two women in confusion: “Aren’t you two looking for the Qilin Immortal? Is it appropriate for you to stay with me?”

“Oh right, we also need to find our husband.” The two women, carried away by joy, almost forgot about the Qilin Immortal.

Immortal Fairy led everyone on a tour of the Soybean Imperial Palace. Every brick and tile here had been constructed by her, and its specifications far surpassed those of the Great Xia Imperial Palace.

After the tour, Yun Mengmeng volunteered: “Chief, since our Soybean Dynasty has gained a new general, should we once again conquer little Zhi?”

She was also a loyal subject of the Soybean Dynasty, with a desire to achieve great deeds.

Although she and little Zhi were like sisters, being in two opposing factions meant they had to abandon their past affection!

“Are we... going to fight?” Jin Caiwei nervously clutched the corner of her clothes, looking around to gauge everyone’s reactions. Her previous defeat by Yun Zhi, who had vanquished her as easily as slicing melons and vegetables, had left her with considerable psychological trauma.

Lu Yang’s eye twitched as he listened from the side. *Mengmeng sis, must you always bring up sensitive topics?*

Immortal Fairy’s eyes lit up at the suggestion, then quickly dimmed. She calmly and steadily shook her head. Although the Soybean Dynasty was growing stronger, now was not the ideal time for an expedition.

“Ahem, originally, with my cultivation, I could certainly engage in battle with that girl Yun. However, regrettably, I am currently severely wounded and cannot raise my spiritual energy for combat in the short term. For now, we shall let her off the hook.”

Lu Yang indignantly slapped his leg, declaring his loyalty: “What a missed opportunity! Our Soybean Dynasty is flourishing, and it’s the perfect time to conquer all directions. Although my cultivation is merely passable, I am willing to serve Your Majesty diligently and fight on the battlefield as a vanguard. It’s truly a pity!”

Lu Yang secretly glanced at his Senior Sister, who remained expressionless.

He believed that with Senior Sister’s wisdom, she would surely see that although he was part of the Soybean Dynasty, his heart remained with her. Senior Sister wouldn’t blame him.

“Right? What a shame,” Yun Mengmeng said, finding the previous encounter quite enjoyable.

Fearing Yun Mengmeng might conjure another terrifying idea, Lu Yang quickly helped Immortal Fairy return to the palace.

“Your Majesty’s sacred health is not ideal. Please return to the palace and rest.”

“Later, I also need to inform Senior Yingtian Immortal of the battle situation.”

Everyone left the spiritual space and returned to their respective places. Those who were supposed to stay at Wendao Sect stayed at Wendao Sect. Those who were supposed to return to the demon realm also stayed at Wendao Sect. And those who were supposed to return to the East Sea also stayed at Wendao Sect.

Lu Yang realized that Ao Ling and the two other women were determined to stay at Wendao Sect for a while.

It made sense, he thought. Senior Qinghe was here, and they would want to catch up.

He then set off for the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace to retrieve the dark ancient ring from Senior Sister Jinghong.

Venerable Yinglong, as always, soared in the sky, his dragon eyes fixed on Lu Yang with a sharp gaze: “You’ve indeed come. I had originally intended to send Jinghong to find you and inquire about what happened in the demon realm. However, she is currently in the Void Refinement stage, and her cultivation fluctuates, making it dangerous for her to go out.”

“Brother Yingtian, long time no see,” Qinghe emerged from the spiritual space. She hadn’t expected Lu Yang to have already found Immortal Yingtian.

“Qinghe?!” Immortal Yingtian exclaimed in surprise. That young Lu Yang truly managed to surprise him every time.

After Lu Yang recounted the events of the Demon City battle, Immortal Yingtian listened in silence for a long time.

Immortal Jiemie becoming so extreme was partly their responsibility as well.

“Senior Yingtian, since Grey Dou Dou has disappeared, you can now declare your existence to the world,” Lu Yang said. Immortal Yingtian had already recovered to his ancient state. The reason he hadn’t left the ancient ring before was the threat of Grey Dou Dou, but now that threat was gone, he could depart.

Immortal Yingtian shook his dragon head: “Now is not the right time.”

Lu Yang was startled. Had something unforeseen happened to Senior Yingtian Immortal?

“Given my status, I naturally must choose a moment that draws all eyes to announce my return to the world!”
