Who Let Him Cultivate?!

“Which son of a bitch dares to impersonate me? Don’t they know that in ancient times, I was invincible and everyone had to walk around me!” Fairy Eternity has the right to be proud. After all, cultivators who acquired the Verbal Spell are considered peerless among their equal, yet they died in her hands.

“I sensed a familiar presence on the Master, could it be from the person who impersonated me?”

The more Fairy Eternity thought about it, the angrier she became, shouting to go out and confront the Immortal Eternity, to expose his true face!

Yun Zhi stopped Fairy Eternity, “Senior, don’t be impulsive. The person who claims to be Immortal Eternity can freely appear in the statues. If we let him escape, it will be difficult to catch him later.”

“Then what do you suggest…?”

“When the Master and Immortal Eternity were talking, they mentioned a selection process. It’s supposedly to select talents, but it’s actually to select bodies for Immortal Eternity to possess. As long as we make Lu Yang the target, the Immortal Eternity will fall into our trap and he won’t be able to escape.” Fairy Eternity was taken aback, “You’ve really thought this through, girl!” “Hmm?” Yun Zhi raised an eyebrow.

Seeing that the whimsical fairy was about to anger Eldest Senior Sister, Lu Yang quickly made his exit.

Eldest Senior Sister wouldn’t fuss over her title when she was in a dispirited state, but now that her spirit was intact, who knows.

Fairy, you better pray for yourself.

“But what is the real situation with Immortal Eternity?”

Lu Yang didn’t expect that there would really be an Immortal Eternity. Was the fifth Immortal of the ancient times the Immortal Eternity or Fairy Eternity? Emotionally, Lu Yang leaned towards the latter. In terms of pressure, Lu Yang leaned towards the former.

“Or was there a sixth Immortal in ancient times?”

Lu Yang opened his eyes, disengaging from his practice, and sensed his current realm.

“I should be at the Consummation realm of the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Stage, just a half step away from the Late-stage Foundation Establishment.”

“What are you saying?” Meng Jingzhou quipped from the side after disconnecting from his practice.

Man Gu contemplated, “Dividing the realm very meticulously might be one of the reasons for Brother Lu’s strength, right?”

Meng Jingzhou quickly stopped Man Gu, “Don’t speculate wildly, Lu Yang is just being quirky, you can’t join him in that.”

“You three, get ready for the practice exercise!” A cultist reminded the three at the door.

Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu were confused. Practice exercise? What practice exercise?

The sound-amplifying array placed at various locations resonated, “Attention everyone, the Righteous Path is about to attack, attention everyone, the Righteous Path is about to attack!”

There were also some cultists outside, building tension by screaming, “The Righteous Path is here, we’re finished!”

“Run quickly!”

“We’d rather die than surrender!”

“Let’s fight with them!”

“Hahaha, you dogs of the Righteous Path, don’t think you can catch me!”

“Bless us, Immortal Eternity!”

Then there was the sound of hurried escape.

Lu Yang: “…You guys are really into this.”

Lu Yang quickly explained the situation of the exercise to Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu, and they finally realized what was happening.

The three of them hurriedly ran out of the room, shouting as they fled, “Not good, the forces of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Five Great Immortal Sects have invaded!”

The people in front of them glared at the three, “Stop shouting nonsense. If the people from Great Xia and the Five Great Immortal Sects are here, it’s time to change it to a surrender exercise!”

It was clear that the Eternity Sect had a very fine classification of exercise types.

On the way to escape, Lu Yang saw a cultist competently packing things into a storage ring. The skilled movements were heartbreaking.

Some were crying bitterly, expressing their willingness to share the same fate as their headquarters.

Others took advantage of the chaos to steal stuff, making a fortune.

“Hey, what are you doing!” A cultist spotted a thief.

Without looking back, the thief replied, “It’s a drill, right? The more real it is, the better. These are all possibilities!”

“Catch the thief!”

The Eternity Sect was in chaos, the drill was extremely realistic.

Lu Yang and his companions left with the rest of the sect members, heading towards an exit.

After emerging from the exit, they didn’t know how far they had gone, but they ended up in a completely unfamiliar place.

Vice Leader Jin, who was the last one to leave the safe passage, sabotaged the exit and eliminated the causality, making it impossible for the righteous path to trace them. He did it all in one go, showing his frequent practice.

The sect members all applauded, happy about the successful conclusion of the rehearsal.

Only Man Gu had a doubt:

“How are we supposed to get back?”

The whole place suddenly fell silent.

Yeah, why did they cut off the passage this time when they usually didn’t in rehearsals?

With the passage cut off and the causality eliminated, how could they return the same way? There was no doorway!

Vice Leader Jin was somewhat embarrassed. He got too absorbed in the rehearsal and acted as if the righteous path was genuinely approaching.

But as the Vice Leader, he quickly thought of a remedy.

“Everybody, don’t panic. I have a flying boat in my storage ring that should accommodate us all. We’ll fly back on that.”

There were many experts inside the headquarters. Everyone, except a few like Lu Yang, could fly.

However, a large group of cultivators flying in the sky could easily draw the attention of the Great Xia Dynasty. A few constables from the dynasty could come to check, ask to stop, show their badges, and then find out that the flyers were indeed big shots on the wanted lists, all of them – at least – lifers.

That would be truly hilarious.

It’s better to board the flying boat and pretend to be lower-level cultivators renting a boat for travel – a common occurrence that wouldn’t raise suspicions. Vice Leader Jin took out a somewhat outdated flying boat from his storage ring. It was deliberate. This kind of style wouldn’t attract official attention.

Everyone was an old hand at this and understood Vice Leader Jin’s intention. They all sat on the flying boat, hiding their cultivation level and appeared as Qi Refinement cultivators to outsiders. The Lu Yang trio turned out to be the cultivators with the highest cultivation level as they were at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Vice Leader Jin comforted everyone on the flying boat, “Actually, it’s not a big problem. According to the speed of our boat, we will return almost the same time when the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement geniuses from our various branches arrive. The timing is just perfect.”

The flying boat was floating leisurely in the sky, blissfully unaware of the impending danger.

Not far from the flying boat, three mysterious men in grey robes were hovering. “What about this flying boat?”

“It’s not from the Land Money Trade Association or other big trade associations. It looks very old; it must be a rented one.”

“There are many people, but their cultivation levels are mediocre, just three at the Foundation Establishment Stage. We might as well kill them; maybe someone is hiding something valuable.”

“Shall we rob them?”

“Let’s do it!”

The three men in grey robes turned into streaks of light and quickly approached the flying boat. They formed an array trapping the boat.

“Don’t move. This is a robbery!” one of them, bearing two scars on his face, looked brutal and reckless.

“You must have heard of the cruelty of us Hu Brothers. Hand over your valuables, and we promise not to kill!” another man stuck out his long tongue, licking his pointed blade – he was somewhat perverse.

“If you refuse to hand them over, don’t blame us for being ruthless!” The third one was making ghastly noises, like a ghost crying, rather creepy.

“Don’t think we dare not kill! We’ve killed more people than you’ve ever met!”

They unleashed terrifying auras to intimidate everyone.

Each of these three was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Generally, as soon as they release their auras, the other party would give up resistance, hand over the valuables, and beg them to spare their lives.

Whether to spare them or not would then depend on their mood.

But then, the Hu Brothers saw that the passengers on the flying boat weren’t scared at all. Instead, they all started giving out weird smiles.

The passengers started to reveal their cultivation levels one by one: Nascent Soul Stage, Spirit Transformation Stage, Refining the Void Stage…

The Hu Brothers, feeling the aura that was beyond their comprehension, swallowed nervously.

It was over. It seemed like they had messed up.

Vice Leader Jin rose, and casually asked, “Did I hear right? You’ve killed more people than we’ve ever met?”
