"No no no, great ancestor, I want to change my wish," Meng Jingzhou quickly admitted his fault.
Meng Junzi quickly let Meng Jingzhou recognize his lineage, "Change to what wish?"
"I wish to defeat Lu Yang!"
Meng Junzi shook his head, "To defeat an opponent of the same level, how can you rely on someone else's power? You must truly have the ability to defeat him by yourself."
Meng Jingzhou said with a bitter face, "Great ancestor, I naturally wouldn't fear Old Lu in a same-level fight, but the problem is that he has a secret technique that can temporarily boost him to the peak of Pass Tribulation. When he fights me without using this kind of technique, it would mean he didn't give his all, and my victory wouldn't be honorable. However, if he does use this technique, I won't be able to beat him!"
"Oh, there's such a secret technique?"
Meng Junzi understood the concerns of his descendant, truly worthy of being the Junior Brother trained by Yun Zhi, indeed remarkable.
"It's alright, your ancestor can lend you a portion of my strength with the Borrowing Dao Fruit, making you too reach the peak of Pass Tribulation."
Meng Jingzhou was overjoyed beyond expectation, never realizing that the Borrowing Dao Fruit had such a wonderful use.
Although Lu Yang has Eldest Senior Sister and Yun Zhi supporting him from behind, and others like Qinghe, Yun Mengmeng, and Sha Meless, a bunch of Semi-Immortals, Meng Jingzhou, thinking of having an Immortal ancestor as his support, felt a little more confident than before.
The grandparent and grandchild duo arrived at Sky Gate Mountain, "Daoist Yun Zhi, we've come to disturb you."
"What brings the elder here?"
"Just a small matter. It's just that this boy Jingzhou has just made a breakthrough to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and it's the right time for him to practice. It so happens that Little Lu also made a breakthrough not long ago, and it would be good for the two of them to have a contest."
"That sounds good." Yun Zhi always encouraged Lu Yang to fight more, to enhance his combat experience and promote growth.
Yun Zhi called over Lu Yang, who was still confused upon seeing Meng Junzi and Meng Jingzhou.
Previously, watching Meng Junzi's momentum, it seemed he was set to show off Old Meng far and wide.
How did this showing off reach their Seek Dao Sect?
After listening to Eldest Senior Sister's words, Lu Yang finally understood—it turns out Old Meng felt confident again.
"Let's fight then, am I afraid of him?"
It wasn't Lu Yang bragging. At the Pass Tribulation Stage, he feared no one now.
The group once again headed deep into the Seek Dao Sect. With the vastness of the sect and sparse population, they walked deeper, finding any place would likely be an uninhabited area, and a small chance a Secret Realm.
Seek Dao Sect's history of a hundred and twenty thousand years had accumulated not a few Secret Realms, all of which could be used to train disciples, some even used as a test to join the sect.
To others, passing these Secret Realms wouldn't be easy, but for Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, it was a breeze. Since they could not provide the intended training effect, Yun Zhi had never let either of them enter these realms.
Lu Yang and the others randomly selected a deserted area to be the battleground.
Lu Yang took off his wide coat and warmed up his wrists and ankles. He needed to hold back when fighting other Pass Tribulation fighters, but there was no need to be so considerate with his own people.
Meng Jingzhou was even more confident than Lu Yang, "Old Lu, go all out against me, use whatever moves you've got!"
"Oh, any move works. Then how about I use the Imitation Fist?"
"That works too!"
This time it was Lu Yang who was surprised—it seemed Old Meng felt he had a way to deal with him.
"This is your own words; don't regret it later."
"No regrets, come on!"
Since Old Meng was so relaxed, Lu Yang didn't hold back either. As the fight started, he soared up in realm, reaching the peak of Pass Tribulation with the help of Imitation Fist.
To Lu Yang's surprise, Old Meng used the Supreme Pure Yang Dharma Image. The Dharma Image was grand and imposing; with a single stomp it could shatter a mountain, and the Green Peak Sword could only leave a shallow mark on it.
The recently advanced Meng Jingzhou definitely couldn't have done this!
"It seems you really do have a way to boost your realm."
Lu Yang noticed Meng Junzi, who was watching the fight, and recalling Meng Junzi's Borrowing Dao Fruit, he guessed the answer.
Meng Jingzhou grinned, "Old Lu, didn't you have your meal? You can't even break through my Dharma Image!"
Originally, Lu Yang was worried about not using too much force to avoid giving Old Meng a psychological shadow, but seeing that Old Meng truly had the ability, there was no need to hold back.
"Law of Heaven and Earth!"
"Devour the Sky and Swallow the Earth!"
"Universe within the Sleeve!"
Lu Yang, in one breath, cast three Great Divine Skills, transforming himself into a giant reaching the heavens and standing upon the earth.
The giant, clutching the Green Peak Sword, struck at the Dharma Aspect. The Dharma Aspect, with three heads and six arms, locked the Green Peak Sword tightly with all six palms.
Lu Yang, like a rabbit, aimed a kick at the belly of the Dharma Aspect.
The two battled fiercely, their fight so intense that, had it taken place in ancient times, the mere shockwaves could have flattened countless stars.
Seeing his junior's outstanding performance, Meng Junzi couldn't help but smile.
"Daoist Yun Zhi, I'm lending Meng Jingzhou a bit of power, that doesn't count as cheating, right?" Meng Junzi was overjoyed inside; although he couldn't defeat Yun Zhi, watching his junior defeat Yun Zhi's cultivated Junior Brother would count as a victory for him.
"Naturally, it doesn't count." Yun Zhi remained expressionless.
"Old Lu, that's all you've got? Not impressive at all. Haven't I told you not to be polite and to use all your strength?" Meng Jingzhou laughed triumphantly, the sensation of being steadily at the peak of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage was just too exhilarating.
Hearing this, Lu Yang revealed a meaningful smile, putting Meng Jingzhou on alert.
