Inside the mental space, Everlasting Fairy, with her legs elegantly crossed, glanced at the True Immortal of Defying Heaven without much care. Her eyes slightly closed, her expression relaxed, she stretched out her slender fingers, admiring them, not taking the True Immortal of Defying Heaven seriously at all.

Who are you?! the True Immortal of Defying Heaven demanded loudly, though deep down, he felt uneasy. The mental space was supposed to contain only Lu Yang; it was against all reason for there to be two people.

Moreover, when he tried to probe the cultivation level of this lax woman, he found he couldnt see through it at all.

This meant that at the very least, she was on the same level as him.

Why would she choose to stay in the mental space of someone at the Foundation Stage?

Everlasting Fairy yawned with utter boredom, showing no intention of acknowledging the True Immortal of Defying Heaven.

Enraged, the True Immortal of Defying Heaven, a fellow Unity Stage cultivator, could not accept being treated with such disdain. Since she wasnt even interested in talking, he decided to prove his point with action!

The True Immortal of Defying Heaven condensed his spirit and energy into a domineering blade. Standing firmly, he seemed like two dragons coiling around pillars, rooting deeply and transmitting power upwards. His soul body crackled like the opening of a valve of power, unleashing all his strength!

He concentrated all his power into the domineering blade, its blade light blinding, impossible to look at directly!

A colossal Bull Demon shadow filled the entire mental space, with red eyes and bulging muscles, an immense force, clearly a renowned demonic beast from ancient times!

As the domineering blade slashed down, it felt as if the power of the seas and mountains were being brought down upon Everlasting Fairy, a force so immense it seemed capable of obliterating everything in existence.

This was the True Immortal of Defying Heavens signature move, capable of destroying any obstacle in his path!

Bull Demon King Blade!

The Bull Demon shadow moved as well, charging at Everlasting Fairy. The True Immortal of Defying Heaven intended to crush her with relentless force, showing her the disparity between them and what it means to respect the strong!

Facing the True Immortal of Defying Heavens full-force attack, Everlasting Fairy didnt even bother to lift her eyelids, merely uttering two words lightly.

Noisy.

Spoken carelessly, without a trace of mundanity, yet they weighed heavily like mountains, pressing down on the True Immortal of Defying Heaven.

The True Immortal of Defying Heaven felt an inexplicable divine force descending from the heavens, a force so brute and unreasonable, pressing down on him, leaving him with no possibility of resistance.

Under the pressure of the word Noisy, the Bull Demon shadow dissipated, the domineering blade forged from spirit and energy vanished, and all phenomena evaporated like mist.

With a thud, the True Immortal of Defying Heaven fell to his knees, unable to even lift his fingers.

He was terrified inside. The opponents power completely surpassed his comprehension; this was definitely not a force a Unity Stage could wield!

Was it Tribulation Crossing, or perhaps an even higher level the True Immortal of Defying Heaven dared not continue the thought.

He distinctly remembered, this person referred to herself as this immortal.

The gap between Unity Stage and Tribulation Crossing Stage was an insurmountable chasm, impossible to bridge by any means, making the two realms as different as earth and sky, leaving the True Immortal of Defying Heaven powerless to resist.

And the gap to even higher realms was beyond his imagination.

Esteemed predecessor, there might have been some misunderstanding between us The True Immortal of Defying Heaven put on a flattering smile, trying his best to explain himself to Everlasting Fairy.

Being able to reach the Unity Stage in ancient times naturally meant one could be flexible.

Finally, Everlasting Fairy lifted her eyelids slightly, her gaze falling on the True Immortal of Defying Heaven kneeling in submission on the ground, her beautiful brows slightly furrowed.

Who allowed you to look directly at this immortal?

Another divine force pressed down on the True Immortal of Defying Heavens head, making him lose all will to resist.

The True Immortal of Defying Heaven felt bitter inside. He originally thought Lu Yang was a reward from the heavens for himself, only to discover upon attempting possession that he was the reward given to Lu Yang by the heavens.

Why was there such a powerful existence in the mental space of someone at the Foundation Stage?

Now, this immortal allows you to explain the situation, Everlasting Fairy said indifferently.

The True Immortal of Defying Heaven dared not conceal anything, aware that some great beings have the ability to discern truth from lies. He didnt dare to gamble on whether the formidable figure before him possessed such a capability.

My Daoist title is True Immortal of Defying Heaven. Outside Commoner Town, there are four Unity Stage beings like me. All five of us are contemporaries from the Great Yu Dynasty. We were all stuck at the Unity Stage due to limited talents, unable to make any progress toward the Tribulation Crossing Stage, which seemed unattainable for us.

At that time, we heard a rumor, though its origin was unclear. The rumor claimed that the spiritual essence of the world was dormant, making cultivation extremely difficult. However, in over a hundred thousand years, the spiritual essence would gradually awaken, heralding an era similar to the ancient prosperous times, where various opportunities for becoming an immortal would emerge.

Some said the rumor came from the royal palace, others said it was calculated by the national teacher, and still others claimed it was an insight obtained by the Imperial Observatory from observing the sun. In short, there were various theories.

The five of us decided that since we couldnt reach the Tribulation Crossing Stage anyway, instead of living leisurely in the Great Yu Dynasty, it would be better to seal ourselves with spirit stone marrow and wait quietly for the world to become vibrant again.

Even if the rumor turned out to be false, we wouldnt lose much. Five Unity Stage beings would be a force to be reckoned with in any era or place.

The five of us awakened beneath Commoner Town and were pleasantly surprised to find that our stagnant cultivation levels showed signs of loosening. Indeed, the current era is more conducive to cultivation than our time.

We still needed some time to fully awaken and didnt want to be discovered by the cultivators of this era, so we collectively established the rules of Commoner Town to recover our strength while gathering information.

I was the most unfortunate. There was a problem with the spirit stone marrow that sealed me; my physical body died over time, but the spirit stone marrow only sealed my soul.

After awakening, I possessed the person with the best talent nearby. My body was frail and prone to accidents, so to protect myself, the five of us agreed that it would be most appropriate for me to become the town chief of Commoner Town.

In this way, I became an undying existence, consuming mortals and wild beasts to accelerate my cultivation and quickly master the Defying Heaven Secret Method.' (TL Note: Undying and Everlasting have subtle differences)

The True Immortal of Defying Heaven confessed everything from below, not daring to lift his head and unaware of Everlasting Fairys small gestures.

Everlasting Fairy winked at Lu Yang and excitedly wiggled her toes, meaning to say, See, I can be reliable too. You should respect me more from now on.

Since her revival, Everlasting Fairy had been constantly humbled, first suppressed by Eldest Senior Sister and then failing to showcase her strengths to Lu Yang. Now that she finally had a chance to prove herself, how could she not seize it?

Lu Yang sighed silently. Immortal, how can I see you as reliable with this behavior?

Everlasting Fairy felt that Lu Yangs gaze didnt seem very respectful toward her. Pouting, she decided to ignore Lu Yang.

After all, she believed she had already proven herself to be very reliable.
