Chapter 1333: Launch an Attack

After Lu Yang ascended to immortality, he found that his divine consciousness had expanded infinitely, capable of enveloping the entire universe. His Tracing Dao Fruit had also become incredibly powerful, now able to affect other immortals.

For instance, he could use his Tracing Dao Fruit on the Undying Immortaless, healing her Dao wounds and restoring her to the state she was in when she fought Grey Dou, allowing her to regain her immortal body.

"Ah? Wait..." The Undying Immortaless was stunned. Before she could react, Lu Yang activated his Tracing Dao Fruit. Powerful regulative forces reversed the cosmic order, disregarding causality, and the Undying Immortaless's slightly transparent soul gradually solidified, becoming flesh and blood, gaining warmth and tactile sensation.

Panic surged within the Undying Immortaless. For a moment, she struggled to control her emotions, and an aura of eternal immortality spread. The flowers and plants at her feet were bathed in this immortal aura, undergoing a complete transformation. Golden patterns appeared on their leaves, signifying their shift from spirit herbs to immortal herbs, the consumption of which could grant longevity.

A single drop of her blood or a single tear was a longevity-granting substance sought by all mortals, incredibly precious.

The Undying Immortaless felt like crying but had no tears. She had been so focused on being happy for Lu Yang that she never imagined his Tracing Dao Fruit would possess such an ability after his ascension.

*This immortal doesn't want to leave this comfortable spiritual space! This immortal wants to stay here forever!*

Yet, a secret delight also stirred in the Undying Immortaless’s heart, a sign that Lu Yang had always been thinking of her.

*But I still don't want to leave!*

"Immortaless, congratulations!" Lu Yang excitedly embraced the Undying Immortaless, making her incredibly flustered.

Whenever Lu Yang thought of the Undying Immortaless's tragic state after her battle with Grey Dou, his heart would ache, and he felt deeply guilty, believing it was due to his own weakness. After becoming an immortal, he could finally make up for the regrets of that day and allow the Immortaless to regain her immortal body.

However, as the spiritual space quieted down, Lu Yang felt a little unaccustomed and somewhat missed the noisy days they once shared.

"Madam has her immortal body back?" Qinghe was the first to rush over upon hearing the news, overjoyed to the point of tears. But when she saw Madam's flustered expression while being embraced by Lu Yang, she felt as if her world was collapsing.

Seeing outsiders present, the Undying Immortaless quickly pushed Lu Yang away.

Yun Mengmeng, Ao Ling, and others also rushed over upon hearing the news. Yun Mengmeng even curiously squeezed the Undying Immortaless's arm; it felt cool, soft, and slightly firm.

"So this is what the boss feels like to touch."

"Don't, don't touch me anymore." The Undying Immortaless hid beside Lu Yang, secretly poking his waist and whispering, "It's all your fault, all your fault."

This left Lu Yang completely baffled.

"Senior Immortaless has recovered?" Yun Zhi showed a faint smile, her angle unique so that only the Undying Immortaless could see it. This angered the Undying Immortaless, who turned her head, pouted, and refused to acknowledge Yun Zhi.

"I was just about to gather some people to celebrate Junior Brother's ascension. It's a double blessing now; we can also celebrate Senior Immortaless's recovery."

At the peak of Heavenly Gate Mountain, in front of the Great Dou Dynasty's ancestral temple, immortal qi swirled, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Laughter and cheerful voices filled the air.

Yun Mengmeng showed off her culinary skills while Qinghe assisted. A clatter of pots and pans could be heard from the kitchen, indicating a lively and bustling scene.

"Why won't you let this immortal be the head chef?" Since she had regained her immortal body, the Undying Immortaless had planned to show off her skills, but to her surprise, Lu Yang stopped her, making her pout angrily. After becoming an immortal, Lu Yang had certainly grown bolder.

"Aren't you going to try and persuade Lu Yang? Don't you want to taste this immortal's cooking?" The Undying Immortaless sought help from the Four Ancient Immortals. But the Four Ancient Immortals pretended to be deaf and mute, mumbling and saying nothing.

Lu Yang gently soothed her from the side. "Immortaless, you are the guest of honor today. You've only just recovered your body; how could we let you exert yourself?"

The Undying Immortaless considered this and realized it made sense. Being quite agreeable, she stopped working.

Seeing this, the Four Ancient Immortals collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems only Little Friend Lu can persuade the Undying Immortaless now."

In ancient times, no matter how they tried to persuade her, she wouldn't listen. The Undying Immortaless did whatever she pleased, terrifying them and leaving their immortal hearts in a state of unease.

"I think Little Friend Lu is very good for the Undying Immortaless."

"Indeed, I support it."

Finally, someone could rein in the Undying Immortaless. The Four Ancient Immortals were pleased to see this.

"Although we knew he would become an immortal, we didn't expect it to be so fast." Jiang Ping'an and Meng Junzi arrived by invitation. Seeing Lu Yang surrounded by everyone, laughing and talking, they marveled and sighed, feeling that they had grown old.

"Baozi are here!" Yun Mengmeng came out carrying a large steaming basket. Inside were steaming hot baozi, round and plump. Their aroma could be smelled from afar. Qinghe followed, carrying a second basket of baozi.

Lu Yang eagerly took a bite. He couldn't discern the filling, but it was so fragrant and delicious that his mouth was filled with oil. Feeling joyous, he couldn't help but smile. Every time Lu Yang tasted Yun Mengmeng's cooking, he secretly sighed that this was the result of being self-taught and not listening to the Immortaless's instructions.

This celebratory banquet was of an exceptionally high standard, with half-immortals as the minimum guests. Eating baozi might seem undignified, but those present weren't concerned with formalities. Even Ying Tianxian didn't find anything inappropriate about eating baozi on such an occasion; as long as the Undying Immortaless wasn't the head chef, anything was fine.

Beside the baozi was freshly squeezed peach juice, produced from heavenly spirit roots. After drinking it, Jiang Ping'an and Meng Junzi were amazed, considering it divine. Of all the immortal delicacies they had tasted, this was among the very best.

Halfway through the banquet, everyone started playfully urging Lu Yang to say a few words. Lu Yang couldn't refuse and was reluctantly pushed into the spotlight. He walked among the crowd, holding his peach juice, thanking each person individually.

"Senior Qilin Immortal, I toast you. It's thanks to your transaction with Wu Yao that I was brought here, allowing me to start a new life. You are my savior." With that, Lu Yang drained his peach juice in one gulp.

The Qilin Immortal clinked his teacup with Lu Yang's and likewise drank it all. "Not at all. You resurrected the Undying Immortaless; we should be thanking you."

"Senior Ninefold Immortal, I toast you. When I fought Siming in the Extreme North, had it not been for your timely intervention, I might have perished there. I've never formally thanked you; I'll do so now."

The Ninefold Immortal was somewhat flustered by Lu Yang's solemn address. Seeing the Ninefold Immortal's embarrassed expression, others burst into laughter.

"Ninefold, he's thanking you, say something!" Ying Tianxian egged him on from the side.

The Ninefold Immortal glared at Ying Tianxian, making the crowd laugh even harder.

"Senior Time Immortal, I toast you. Your method of shaping an immortal body of golden form using the power of faith is truly unimaginable. I know so much of your checkered past, yet you've never bothered me. You are magnanimous, truly worthy of being the eldest and most dignified among the four seniors."

The Time Immortal showed no reaction upon hearing this. Instead, Ying Tianxian's face darkened.

"Ying Tian, Little Lu is clearly talking about you; you're the one who deliberately caused him trouble." This time, it was the Ninefold Immortal's turn to chime in, laughing loudly.

"Go away, go away." Ying Tianxian was not one to be afraid of mockery. "I don't believe you didn't think about 'dealing with' Little Lu. You all chickened out and surrendered after witnessing Daoist Yun Zhi's power."

"That's called being sensible," the Ninefold Immortal declared righteously.

"Senior Ying Tianxian, I toast you. It was precisely because you assassinated the Immortaless, then possessed the body of the true Senior Ying Tianxian and contaminated the origin of faith when Grey Dou was resurrected, that everything that followed could happen."
