Who Let Him Cultivate?!
Chapter 1133 - 1132: Mastering the [Rules]

Compared to the past when Eldest Senior Sister needed to significantly revise the cultivation techniques, this time she only had to make a forty percent revision, a clear sign of Lu Yang's progress.

After composing these techniques for so long, he had finally passed.

"Sit down and rest for a while, I will correct it for you," Yun Zhi said, gesturing for Lu Yang not to stand.

Yun Zhi took out the Four Treasures of the Study, while Lu Yang stood beside her, grinding ink and passing the brush, learning how Eldest Senior Sister revised his cultivation techniques.

Lu Yang watched attentively as Fairy Eternity rested her head on Lu Yang's shoulder, watching as well.

Elegant brushstrokes smeared and inscribed on the cultivation techniques, adding and deleting words and sentences, enhancing the content.

Lu Yang suddenly realized that as the Eldest Senior Sister, her vision was indeed higher than his; it seemed that he was far from capable of writing cultivation techniques on his own.

Yun Zhi blew on a stack of papers, drying the ink, "Done."

"Yay, Second-in-command's cultivation technique is finally complete!" Yun Mengmeng cheered, somehow obtaining a handful of candy and distributing it among everyone to celebrate the hard-won achievement of Lu Yang's technique.

The candy was wrapped in glutinous rice paper, ready to eat without removing the packaging.

Lu Yang tasted one, sweet with a hint of sourness, probably the flavor of a grape-like spirit fruit.

Yun Zhi's candy was peach-flavored; although Yun Mengmeng had grown tired of peaches in the secret realm, Yun Zhi hadn't.

"Alright, Little Yang's matter is settled, let's get to the real work!" Immortal Fairy once again rallied everyone for a full assault.

After eighty failures, they calmed their minds, refraining from rushing into battle and instead focusing on recovery. Now, with sufficient rest, and with Yun Zhi having completed Lu Yang's cultivation technique—rendering him of no further use—the time to strike was now!

"Miss Yun, you mustn't have anticipated our sudden attack. You've probably been on guard against us these past days, but certainly, you didn't expect that we had no intention of attacking at all. Instead, we've been residing in Little Yang's abode and just playing around. This is waiting for the rabbits to come to us!"

"It's 'waiting at one's ease for the exhausted enemy,' Fairy." Although Lu Yang was indeed surprised on behalf of Eldest Senior Sister, he couldn't help but correct her.

"Ah, right, that's the phrase, Little Yang is correct! Charge!"

At the command of Immortal Fairy, all the women attacked at once.

The three Great Generals transformed into their original forms, a black Dragon, a fire Phoenix, and a white Tiger, majestically towering with teeth as tall as a person and shining white enough to reflect Yun Zhi's shadow.

Had anyone harbored guilt in their hearts, the sight of these ancient Immortal Beasts would send them scrambling in terror.

Qinghe held a lotus flower, activating the Longevity Dao Fruit Embryo to slow time.

Yun Mengmeng imbued the clothing of everyone present with the power of the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit, ensuring that the garments would not be damaged in battle.

Looking at the eager crowd, Yun Zhi held her forehead and sighed, instructing Senior Sister Gan Tian to tidy up things like the Emperor's Chair to avoid damaging it.

Senior Sister Gan Tian moved adeptly. Initially surprised by the women challenging Eldest Senior Sister, she was now accustomed to it.

After putting everything away, Gan Tian continued to play the guqin, the tunes no longer soothing but filled with the vigor of armed combat.

Thud, thud, dong, dong—

Inspired by Gan Tian's music, the women, brimming with fighting spirit, set up an Array Method to besiege Yun Zhi.

"Dragon and Phoenix Tiger Transformation!" This was the combined attack technique of the three Great Generals, subtly in line with the power of the three talents. Jiang Lianyi and Jin Caiwei turned into flat tattoos, adhering to Ao Ling's body.

"Immortality!" Yun Mengmeng and Qinghe acted together, harnessing their closely-related Dao Fruit Outlines to create a realm where time nearly stood still.

This was the result of their eighty battles, allowing them to bridge the gap between mortals and Immortals, even challenging an Immortal in combat!

Soon, the women fell one by one to the ground, sleeping sweetly like dumplings into boiling water.

Yun Zhi, step by step, approached Lu Yang, radiating a murderous aura, with a field of slain sprawled out before them, causing Lu Yang to tremble with fear.

"Junior Brother, it's time for you to return to your cultivation."

Lu Yang nodded like a pecking chick.

Fairy Eternity was still not convinced, "Hmph, Miss Yun, don't be so proud. If I weren't seriously injured and unable to condense my physical body, I would definitely challenge you to a duel!"

Yun Zhi's cheeks twitched, pretending not to hear what was said.

Lu Yang stepped in to mediate, easing the tension between Eldest Senior Sister and Fairy Eternity, "His Majesty has personally taken to the battlefield, aiming to bolster the morale and spirit of the troops, truly a wise decision. However, the military is a tool of danger; war a perilous endeavor. Victory and defeat are common in military campaigns; it's not just the victory that is precious, but the ability to withdraw and plan anew also does not diminish a hero's true nature!"

Fairy Eternity pondered over Lu Yang's words seriously, "Are you suggesting that this Immortal should retreat?"

"Yes."

"Oh, then let's go back."

Fortunately, Yun Zhi understood the principle of not pursuing a defeated enemy too far. After their victory, she did not press for a complete annihilation, giving Lu Yang and the others ample time to withdraw. Lu Yang had no choice but to carry each of the women back to the Abode one by one.

The women were still sleeping and didn't seem like they would wake up soon, so Lu Yang began to focus on studying the Cultivation Technique.

After cycling through the Grand Circulation with the new technique, Lu Yang felt his Realm slightly stabilize, which meant that even if he did nothing and continued to cultivate step by step, he would eventually be able to advance to the Body Integration Realm.

"However, the rate is rather slow."

"That's quite normal. It means you haven't grasped the essence of the Void Refinement Stage," Fairy Eternity floated leisurely around the Abode, her feet off the ground, like a ghost.

"Essence?"

"I ask you, what's the biggest difference between the Void Refinement Stage and the Body Integration Realm?"

"Difference? Control of the Rule?"

"Right, controlling the Rule. The better your grasp of the Rule, the more stable your Realm will become."

"So that's how it is, but how exactly do you control the Rule?" asked Lu Yang, the Emperor's Master, unashamed to seek knowledge, as he was completely clueless about the Rule.

"You are currently at the verge of the Body Integration Realm, close your eyes and try to extend your Spiritual Power outward, to sense your Abode."

Taking advantage of the momentary stability of his Realm, Lu Yang released his Spiritual Power throughout the Abode. He could see every nook and cranny clearly, even the sight of the women sleeping peacefully, as well as the crumbs from the cookies they had dropped on the ground earlier.

"Next, imagine your body becoming ethereal, merging with the space of your Abode."

Imagination was one of Lu Yang's strengths. He imagined himself as a pool of water, spreading in all directions, covering every inch of space as though his Abode had become part of his domain, subject to his whims.

Fairy Eternity's teachings echoed in Lu Yang's ears, "Lastly, and most importantly, words carry power. Each phrase you utter carries your strength."

"Now, establish a Rule within this space. Any Rule will do."

"I hereby establish the [Rule: within the Abode, all cookie crumbs must go into the trash can]."

As the Rule was established, the crumbs on the floor flew up and went straight into the trash can.

"Yes, yes, yes, that's the idea!" Fairy Eternity didn't expect Lu Yang to succeed on his first try.

Buoyed by his success, Lu Yang continued his cultivation, "I hereby establish the [Rule: within the Abode, books must dance]."

The books on the desk, borrowed from the Scripture Pavilion, stood up, their corners like legs, hopping and dancing on the table, defying common sense.

Lu Yang felt he was close to uncovering the trick. With such a genius act, the more spectators, the better.

"I hereby establish the [Rule: Yun Mengmeng, Qinghe, Ao Ling, Jiang Lianyi, Jin Caiwei wake up]!"

"Wait, you can't set Rules for people with a higher Cultivation Level than you!" Fairy Eternity hastily said.

"Pfft!"

The moment the Rule was established, Lu Yang sensed something was wrong, a rush of blood surged upward, and he violently spat out a mouthful of blood.

The women had just opened their eyes to see Lu Yang lying on the ground, spewing blood like a fountain.
