Chapter 190: Why Are There So Many People in Your Mental Space

If there were two individuals in the spiritual space—the original owner and a powerful soul—it could still be explained that the powerful soul had no immediate intention of taking over. But having three people in your spiritual space is simply too much; does a spiritual space really need to be this lively? Now, with himself, there were four people in the spiritual space.

The Immortal, who knew little of such things, had never heard of a spiritual space containing four souls. Yunzhi closed her book and quietly watched him.

Out of respect for elders and affection for her kin, she had allowed the Immortal Fairy to make the first move. Now, it was her turn.

"Even without the Dao Fruit, this immortal is still invincible!" The Immortal shook off his dejection, regained his confidence, and re-engaged in battle. "World Demonization!" Boundless black demonic energy surged from his body. Countless demons writhed within the energy, emitting shrill screams as they blanketed the entire spiritual space, rushing towards Yunzhi.

Yunzhi didn't even glance at them. She raised her graceful arm, and the golden bell tied to her right wrist jingled. Her voice was clear and cold, like a fairy from the silent Moon Palace.

"Cloudfall Palm." With a single strike, pristine white clouds emerged from behind Yunzhi, undulating like an ocean. They swiftly devoured the black demonic energy, then transformed into towering waves that surged towards the Immortal.

The Immortal felt like a mere pebble, insignificant before an overwhelming torrent, utterly powerless to resist.

"Nether Immortal Flame!" "Eighteen Golden Bell Shields!" Red and black flames ignited from the Immortal's chest, quickly spreading to form a thin film over his body. Eighteen massive golden bells crashed down, enveloping him layer after layer, determined to block the assault.

The surging waves mercilessly impacted the Immortal. The eighteen layers of golden bell shields shattered one after another, and the thin film of red and black flames vaporized upon colliding with the seawater. The Immortal endured the residual force of the strike, crashing against the edge of the spiritual space.

Yunzhi rose from her seat, her light footsteps seemingly blossoming lotuses with each stride, as she walked towards the Immortal.

"Stop, stop, I told you to stop!!" the Immortal shrieked, his confidence utterly shattered by the previous attack.

"Gold-Shattering Stone-Breaking Palm!" A giant hand made of mist descended from the sky. This strike, capable of shattering mountains, cracking the earth, and destroying supreme treasures, was renowned in the cultivation world.

Yunzhi raised her hand and gently waved, and the misty giant hand vanished into thin air. "Calamity-Breaking Undying Body!" The Immortal manifested his Dharma Body.

In the outside world, this Dharma Body would have been ten thousand feet tall, reaching to the heavens and standing upon the earth, capable of effortlessly plucking stars. Any attack striking it would have no effect, causing no pain or discomfort. Conversely, the Dharma Body's own attacks were world-destroying and irresistible.

Due to the limitations of the spiritual space, the full form of the Calamity-Breaking Undying Body was hard to discern, yet its power showed no signs of weakening. "Die!" The Immortal roared, intent on crushing Yunzhi.

Yunzhi didn't even raise her head. She simply waved her hands twice, and the terrifying Dharma Body was instantly fanned into dust. "Red Lotus Fall!"

"Reverse Five Elements Killing Array!" "Buddha-Slaying Fist Art!" "Dao-Controlling Heavenly Talisman!" The Immortal no longer held back, exhausting all his abilities. Palm techniques, fist techniques, arrays, talismans—a continuous stream of diverse attacks emerged, all profoundly perfected as if he had diligently studied them for hundreds or even thousands of years.

An ordinary cultivator would have been terrified by such attacks, but before Yunzhi, they were utterly insignificant.

Lu Yang's spiritual space seemed to transform into her domain; with a mere flick of her hand, as if swatting flies, all attacks vanished.

"Far inferior to an Immortal," Yunzhi commented on the Immortal's various attacks. Not only was his attack power insufficient, but his vision was also lacking.

The same attacks, if executed by the Immortal Fairy, would have had a better effect.

"These are all modern attack techniques, but were there any ancient ones?" Yunzhi observed that while the Immortal employed numerous spells, without exception, they were all contemporary techniques, traceable and not a single one was a lost ancient art.

This was strange. After the Great Cataclysm of ancient times, many inheritances were lost, and most of today's attack methods were discovered by later generations.

If the Immortal was truly an ancient immortal, he should be able to perform ancient secret arts like the Immortal Fairy, such as the Water-Evasion Art that can strip away all water, or the rather embarrassing Feigned Death Art.

Yunzhi had not instantly suppressed the Immortal with a single palm strike precisely because she wanted to observe what kinds of attacks he could use.

"You, who exactly are you?!" The Immortal's fear was even greater than when his Dao Fruit was seized; this power was simply absurd.

What kind of people were in this kid's spiritual space? The first had unfathomable methods, seizing his Dao Fruit, while the second possessed world-shaking cultivation and boundless magic power!

"Didn't you say you were going to suppress me for Lu Yang?"

"You are Lu Yang's Senior Sister?!" The Immortal's voice rose by an octave, his eyes wide. For a moment, he forgot his predicament and couldn't help but curse Lu Yang for his shamelessness.

What bizarre wishes had this kid made? Each one more outrageous than the last. He had thought it would be easy to defeat Lu Yang's Senior Sister, so he had agreed to Lu Yang's terms and entered to seize control.

Now it seemed the tables had turned. Lu Yang's Senior Sister would easily suppress him! What a massive trap.

The Immortal finally understood: Lu Yang was no believer of his at all. He had disguised himself as bait, pretending all this time, just to lure him in.

It was laughable that he had believed he could seize a body perfectly suited to him. Was the other party an undercover agent from the righteous path, infiltrating the Immortal Cult?

However, Lu Yang's performance in the competition hadn't seemed feigned.

The Immortal had a sudden realization and understood everything—Lu Yang was sent by the other three demonic sects! That explained everything.

"Stop, stop, I surrender! I'll tell you whatever you want to know, just please spare my miserable life!" The Immortal knelt and begged for mercy, his attitude changing remarkably fast.

"Speak! Who exactly are you? Why are you impersonating me?!" The Immortal Fairy stopped examining the nascent Dao Fruit and scurried over. Lu Yang followed behind, while Yunzhi listened quietly from the side.

All three wanted to know the answer to this question. "I am..."

The Immortal drew out his voice, attracting their attention, then burst forth with all his internal power, turned, and ran, intending to break through the spiritual space barrier and escape this dreadful place!

As expected, he crashed solidly into the barrier, completely unable to pass through. Yunzhi had anticipated this and had already strengthened the durability of Lu Yang's spiritual space.

This tactic of the Immortal's had been used many times by Daoist Buyu in front of Yunzhi, to no avail.

"Still not honest? Fairy Fist!" Huang Doudou's fists rained down on the Immortal's face. "Not the face, not the face! I'll truly confess everything this time!"

The Immortal understood that admitting defeat early was better than anything. His opponents were experienced, and no tricks would work here.

"Speak, what's your name!" Huang Doudou gloated. "I have no shame."

"Oh? So self-aware?"
