I Pick up a Lost Godhood

Chapter 206 - 204: Take Down Immortal Origin Hall

"Your injuries haven’t healed yet."

"Mine are just flesh wounds, no big deal. Besides, you have to trust Old Zhou’s skills. Right, Little Zhou?"

Zhang Xiaojiang teased. If Zhou Feng was Old Zhou, then Zhou Qian could only be Little Zhou.

Zhou Qian rolled his eyes.

"Wang Meng, setting everything else aside, we all want to see your final battle with Li Tianyi with our own eyes. That’s why we’ll definitely defeat Immortal Origin Hall. I’ll fight too!"

Hu Jing said.

"Boss, don’t worry. Nothing can stand in the way of what you want!"

That’s right. Their wishes had been fulfilled, and it was Wang Meng who had helped them achieve it. But being brothers wasn’t just about receiving. Even if Wang Meng didn’t say it, they knew. No matter who stood before them, nothing could stop their advance.

"Let’s fuck up Immortal Origin Hall!"

Zhang Xiaojiang leaped onto a chair, waving his chubby arms and roaring.

"AHEM. Show Old Zhou some respect."

"Fine. We’ll fuck up Immortal Origin Hall, but just this once!" Zhang Xiaojiang declared with righteous indignation.

Everyone burst out laughing. Immortal Origin Hall, the Thunderlight bandits have arrived.

The official declaration of war was issued.

Thunderlight Hall continued its advance, challenging Immortal Origin Hall. But for the first time, they revealed their true target: Lingyin Hall, and Li Tianyi, who had long been in seclusion.

The pact between Wang Meng and Li Tianyi—their battle was truly going to be settled in the Grand Tournament.

Before this, would you have believed it?

A peak showdown between Wang Meng and Li Tianyi, staged during the Grand Tournament between Thunderlight Hall and Lingyin Hall?

It was a daydream not even worthy of being called a joke.

But now, it was no longer impossible!

To be honest, Wang Meng himself was stunned. He had truly been blindsided by Zhang Xiaopang and the others. ’That rascal is getting more and more cunning,’ he thought. ’If not for Zhang Xiaopang’s unhealed injuries, I’d definitely give him a good flick on the head.’

Those who come together for profit will scatter when profit disappears. Naturally, they face all sorts of problems.

But Thunderlight Hall was different. Wang Meng had led them, step by step, to this day. Now, he needed them. Nothing needed to be said. There was only one word—Fight!

This was a spiritual metamorphosis.

This was something others couldn’t understand and would never know, because they simply weren’t the same kind of people.

Upon receiving the news, Liangyuan gave a cold smile. ’Fine,’ he thought. ’I’ll use Wang Meng to test my blade.’

Defeating Wang Meng, the man who had once given Li Tianyi a hard time, would also put invisible pressure on Li Tianyi. ’This Li Tianyi has been in seclusion for so long, he’d better not have locked himself away out of fear.’ Liangyuan felt that Li Tianyi was simply too afraid to face reality.

Otherwise, he should have at least observed Wang Meng by now. Yet, Li Tianyi just kept avoiding it.

’As a man, as a powerhouse, you must face defeat head-on. Defeat is the best catalyst.’

Li Tianyi’s sword strike had woken him up. The Liangyuan of today was the true Senior of Immortal Origin Hall.

On Immortal Origin Hall’s home turf, the only thing Thunderlight Hall would be taking with them was defeat.

Having endured humiliation to build their strength, the members of Immortal Origin Hall were united and brimming with confidence. This was thanks to the Ancestral Master’s gift, though of course, there were no Small Rejuvenation Pills to be had.

Small Rejuvenation Pills refined by the Ancestral Master could be used to break through the bottlenecks of the Twentieth, Thirtieth, and Fortieth Layers. They were priceless treasures for anyone below the rank of Ancestral Master.

But aside from such priceless Pills, there were many other types of Pills that could aid cultivation. And in the Holy Hall, there was only one number-one person in this field—Zhou Feng.

Elder Zhou’s Pills had helped them immensely. Combined with the members’ bitter training, spurred on by shame, they truly had nothing to fear.

They had made their sacrifices and reaped the rewards. Now, it was time to test the results.

’Thunderlight Hall is only fit to be a touchstone. Their opponent is Immortal Origin Hall! Just because they have Li Tianyi, they think they can challenge Dao Guang Hall? What a fantasy! Do they think we in Immortal Origin Hall don’t exist?!’

...

In reality, Lingyin Hall naturally couldn’t act as if Immortal Origin Hall didn’t exist, because Immortal Origin Hall did, in fact, exist. It was just that Li Tianyi truly acted as if it didn’t.

Whether it was arrogance or some other reason, Li Tianyi simply didn’t care. Even at this stage, he had no intention of going to watch.

"Senior, this battle is very important. With Liangyuan’s strength, I’m afraid he really could push Wang Meng."

"No way. Liangyuan isn’t even as strong as Yang Ying..."

"Fang Xiang, you’re too naive. Do you really think Senior and the others would go all out against Yang Ying?"

Fang Xiang scratched his head. "No way! Senior, in my eyes, you’ve always been upright and selfless. You wouldn’t go easy on someone! Oh, the heavens..."

BANG...

"Stop messing around!" Mingren didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. These brats were getting bolder and bolder, even daring to tease him.

"Liangyuan’s strength is no worse than Yang Ying’s. Yang Ying is our junior sister; why would we get serious with her? This time, Ancestor Master Zhou clearly lent a hand as well, so we can have some expectations for Liangyuan. Besides, the fight between Wang Meng and Yang Ying was just a spar, not a real battle."

Mingren said.

"Senior is brilliant! That’s the correct explanation. I knew it! The way they were fighting looked like a lovers’ quarrel. I couldn’t even watch anymore," Fang Xiang said.

There wasn’t the slightest hint of a tense atmosphere throughout Lingyin Hall. Their calmness didn’t stem from arrogance, but from strength.

When the might of Immortal Origin Hall collided with the soaring morale of Thunderlight Hall, anything was possible.

Things would have been better if Thunderlight Hall’s lineup was intact, but they were a camp full of wounded soldiers, forced to rely on willpower alone. Yet, it was precisely at times like this that the heavens seemed to enjoy playing jokes.

Immortal Origin Hall was located on Immortal Origin Peak. The name "Immortal Origin" had its own history. It was said that the peak was blessed by the heavens, receiving the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, which made it exceptionally suitable for Alchemy.

The claims were mystic. In short, besides a higher success rate for Alchemy, the Elemental Qi in Immortal Origin Hall was unstable. It would occasionally surge, and this increase could only be felt by disciples who had lived in Immortal Origin Hall for a long time. It could boost their Elemental Power by about ten percent.

Unfortunately, the Grand Tournament happened to coincide with one of these surges. It was the first time this had ever happened during a tournament. It was hard to say whether Immortal Origin Hall was lucky or Thunderlight Hall was just incredibly unlucky.

The Elemental Qi fluctuation had just begun and would typically last for about five days. In other words, there was no way for Thunderlight Hall to avoid it.

For those around the Twentieth Layer, this was equivalent to the Immortal Origin Hall disciples gaining an average boost of one to two layers in their Elemental Power. This could only be described as the last straw that breaks the camel’s back.

The Immortal Origin Hall disciples were naturally in high spirits, believing this to be the will of the heavens. Of course, even without the help of this Elemental Power tide, they were confident they would defeat Thunderlight Hall.

But for Thunderlight Hall, this was definitely not good news. Only the disciples of Immortal Origin Hall, who were familiar with Immortal Origin Peak, could skillfully utilize this Elemental Qi tide. Their opponents would be at a huge disadvantage.

Cultivators placed great importance on the will of the heavens. If Thunderlight Hall requested a postponement, they would only be looked down upon. The key thing was, even if they made the request, it would be rejected.

There was no other choice but to risk it all.

「Three days later.」 Immortal Origin Hall opened its gates. Disciples from every hall poured in, creating a lively and spectacular scene. Shockingly, the crowd was even larger than the one for Flying Phoenix Hall.

The disciples of Hengshan Hall, who had been sulking, also showed up this time. After Thunderlight Hall had even surpassed Flying Phoenix Hall, it would be ridiculous for them to continue moping and wallowing in self-pity on Heng Mountain. Thunderlight Hall’s target was moving further and further away; who would still pay attention to Hengshan Hall?

Their target—Immortal Origin Hall of the Upper Three Halls!

One could immediately feel the difference upon entering one of the Upper Three Halls. A place like Flying Phoenix Hall was neat and elegant, filled with an architectural style unique to Female Cultivators. But the resource advantage of the Upper Three Halls wasn’t just in cultivation resources; even their living resources were more abundant. The architecture was grander and more magnificent—not the magnificence of the mortal world, but the magnificence of Cultivators. (To be continued.
