Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 1075 - 1074: The Stubborn Celestial Master Guiyuan
"Fairy, what use is this box?"
"Of course it’s useless, if it were useful, why would Time Immortal bury it?"
"He just felt the box was fairly useless, destroying it would be a pity, so he placed it where no one could reach, and look, he set up many restrictions in that secret realm."
"So the Ancestor is…"
"I guess he was being bull-headed, not following the rules, forcibly entered the secret realm, broke the restrictions, and triggered some kind of fail-safe, getting sucked into the box."
"..."
Lu Yang looked bewildered. Hadn’t Eldest Senior Sister mentioned that Celestial Master Guiyuan had vanished more than eighty-thousand years ago, without leaving a trace? Was it true that relying on his ability, he barged into the secret realm and ended up confined?
...
"Who’s there!" Si Lei God Lord watched warily as the burly man walked out of the Immortal Gold Box.
Withstanding the Divine Thunder and only getting his hair tips singed, this man’s strength was definitely no small matter!
"You strike me and then ask who I am?" Celestial Master Guiyuan immediately flared up with anger.
He had been trapped by this damned box for over two hundred years, thinking that he had finally been freed, only to be struck by lightning the moment he took a step out. Fortunately, he was physically robust, or else if it had been anyone else, they would have been reduced to ashes!
"You are the Celestial Master Guiyuan from Seek Dao Sect!" Si Lei God Lord remembered. The appearance of the three Ancestors of Seek Dao Sect was no secret, and during the celebration ceremonies, statues of the three Ancestors were even brought out for worship.
He was also a Semi-Immortal, quite active during the Great Yu Late Period, and after the establishment of Great Xia, he was one of the founders of the Five Great Immortal Sects. His status was not below that of Si Lei God Lord’s own.
"What is your relationship with Time Immortal, and why were you confined in the box!"
"Enough with the nonsense, just stand still and take my punch!" Celestial Master Guiyuan didn’t care about Si Lei God Lord’s identity, nor the current situation.
His reasoning was simple: I was struck without warning and now stand still and take a punch from me. Let’s level the playing field first before talking about anything else.
Celestial Master Guiyuan, speaking thus, sprang forth like a Flood Dragon across the sky, throwing a punch at Si Lei God Lord. His fist seemed to burn, bursting forth with endless rosy light!
How could Si Lei God Lord honestly stand still and take a beating? From his palm burst endless grey-white thunderous light, and with a push of his palm, he shattered space, as quick as lightning.
Upon fist meeting palm, with a boom, the thunder was smashed to pieces, turning into a scorching blaze, amidst which Si Lei God Lord was knocked flying!
Si Lei God Lord was in shock; as soon as he touched Celestial Master Guiyuan’s fist, he knew he had underestimated his opponent. The man’s body was terrifyingly hard, not something he could confront head-on!
Even a Body Cultivator at the Pass Tribulation Peak shouldn’t possess such a physique. How did he achieve this? Was it the power of his Dao Fruit Outline?
"Fairy, what’s going on with Ancestor Guiyuan?" asked Lu Yang.
According to Si Chen God Lord’s account, the Great Qian Dynasty harnessed the Power of Faith to create four Dao Fruit Outlines corresponding to the Four Ancient Immortals.
Si Chen God Lord and Si Lei God Lord were two of them. Si Lei God Lord possessed the Tribulation Dao Fruit Outline and, apart from the Dao Fruit Outline, he was also a Pass Tribulation Peak cultivator.
How could such a person be sent flying by Ancestor Guiyuan’s punch?
What was Ancestor Guiyuan’s Dao Fruit Outline?
"If I had known I would meet Ancestor Guiyuan, I would have inquired about the Ancestor’s Dao Fruit Outline from Eldest Senior Sister." Lu Yang felt a tinge of regret.
"As it happens, I’ve heard our old ancestor mention Ancestor Guiyuan’s Dao Fruit Outline." Meng Jingzhou came over.
"What is it?"
"The Unity Dao Fruit Outline, with the ability to merge anything into one entity."
"That explains it." Fairy Eternity felt clarified after hearing Meng Jingzhou’s description.
"No wonder the lad’s physique is so peculiar. He has integrated his flesh with Immortal Gold, clearly a power of the Unity Dao Fruit Outline."
Having merged flesh and Immortal Gold into one, one could only imagine how terrifyingly strong Celestial Master Guiyuan’s body had become.
Lu Yang took a deep breath. No wonder Ancestor Guiyuan was so audacious; he truly had formidable abilities.
"You still dare to block!" Celestial Master Guiyuan was displeased. This one was most dishonorable; you strike me and can’t even say sorry, and when I punch you, you dare to block.
```
Doesn’t reason apply anymore?
In the eyes of Si Lei God Lord, Celestial Master Guiyuan had gone mad. "You’re attacking me, can’t I block it?"
The two engaged in battle once again.
Taking advantage of their battle, Supreme Elder Jin Wenzhang unlocked the Law of Heaven and Earth, reverted to his original form, and took the opportunity to slip away.
"Are you alright, Ancestor?" Sect Master Kong rushed forward to support the Supreme Elder, helping him back to the Scripture Pavilion. He had been struck by lightning in the sky for so long that now he could barely stand.
Under the guidance of Sect Master Kong, the disciples of the sect finished evacuating.
The Scripture Pavilion had a defensive array method and was the safest place in the sect.
Fang Jin, Lu Yang, and Meng Jingzhou were also very concerned about the Supreme Elder’s condition.
"I’m fine, just expended too much energy earlier, a little rest should do the job." Having said that, the Supreme Elder stuffed an elixir into his mouth.
After regaining his strength, the Supreme Elder reflected on how these events had occurred: "What exactly happened? How come all of a sudden there are two Semi-Immortals here, one of whom is Celestial Master Guiyuan? Our sect will have to be rebuilt."
Gazing upon the pockmarked, damaged sect, the Supreme Elder felt a heart-wrenching pain. As the protector of the sect, his inability to safeguard it was a grave dereliction of duty.
"Do not panic, Ancestor. Our sect has bought insurance in advance."
"Insurance? Who bought it?" The Supreme Elder was surprised but took this as good news.
"It was Xiao Jin’s foresight, he purchased the insurance in advance."
"Nicely done." Learning about the insurance, the Supreme Elder’s mood visibly improved. Turning to Fang Jin, he asked, "How did you think to buy insurance?"
In the two-some thousand years since their sect was established, they had never encountered such a disaster. Generally, buying insurance for the sect would be a pure loss.
"Hang on, isn’t the appearance of two Semi-Immortals fighting in our sect because of the Immortal Gold Box you brought back, young man?"
The Supreme Elder suddenly realized that both, Si Lei God Lord and Celestial Master Guiyuan, had become involved because of the Immortal Gold Box.
Fang Jin did not know what facial expression to make. He had bought insurance, and then he brought back the Immortal Gold Box to the sect, which led to the battle between the Semi-Immortals.
Somehow, this didn’t seem right?
"Explain where this box came from in detail?"
Fang Jin recounted truthfully that he set out with Lu Yang to resolve conflicts, inadvertently collected the ancient map, and found the Immortal Gold Box.
"So you’re saying finding the Immortal Gold Box was purely by chance?"
The Supreme Elder believed it was a coincidence. Aside from the fact that Fang Jin had no reason to conspire against the sect, simply finding the Immortal Gold Box was quite fortuitous.
Fang Jin looked lost in thought. Could it be that Dai Bufan mastered divination, saw through the letter sent to him that Fang Jin would bring bad luck, and thus suggested he buy insurance?
In the sky, Celestial Master Guiyuan was still battling Si Lei God Lord.
Knowing he couldn’t directly confront Celestial Master Guiyuan, Si Lei God Lord opened up distance between them.
"So you’ve got a tough body, have you? I’d like to see just how tough it can be!"
The thick five-colored divine thunder pierced through the heavens and earth, shattering the void as if giant stars were falling, tilting the sky and slanting the earth, causing tremors within ten thousand miles!
Crack—
A bolt of divine thunder struck the Scripture Pavilion, causing its defensive great formation to fracture, uncertain how much more it could withstand.
The Supreme Elder’s eyes twitched at the sight; had that thunder struck him, his chances of survival would be slim.
"You think it’s impressive just because you can summon thunder!" Celestial Master Guiyuan scoffed.
Just as the five-colored divine thunder descended, Celestial Master Guiyuan activated the Unity Dao Fruit Outline, merging the entire space within a hundred miles with the five-colored divine thunder completely!
This meant that the power of this bolt of five-colored divine thunder was evenly distributed across this hundred-mile space, reducing the thunder that struck Celestial Master Guiyuan to nearly nothing!
