Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Everlasting Fairy was furious. Tang Yunsheng, as her follower, lacked even the most basic loyalty!

She recalled the ancient times when she was a dominant ruler, with an entire planet of people loyal to her, considering it an honor to be her followers and taking her words as absolute.

Lu Yang thought to himself, that’s enough. This is still the result of worshiping the idealized immortal they imagined. If the Undying Sect knew what the real Everlasting Fairy was like, let alone loyalty, he believed they would dissolve the sect the next day.

Even Lu Yang, the sect founder, wanted to resign every day.

If even the founder felt this way, it was even more unnecessary to mention the ordinary followers.

Wait, why not change the approach, have Everlasting Fairy resign, and have the Undying Sect collectively switch to another belief?

The more Lu Yang thought about it, the better he liked the idea.

Lu Yang was lost in his thoughts, but he wasn’t panicking. With Eldest Senior Sister around, they wouldn’t get hurt.

The current problem was not knowing how to deal with Tang Yunsheng.

Meng Jingzhou and Barbarian Bone weren’t afraid either. Before coming, Lu Yang had told them that this trip was all within Eldest Senior Sister’s plan and nothing would go wrong.

Is there anything more reliable than the words “Eldest Senior Sister”?

Tang Yunsheng raised his hand and pulled out a blood-red broadsword entwined with malevolent spirits and vengeful ghosts from his storage space. Seeing that Lu Yang and the others did not react, he assumed they had lost the will to resist.

After all, this was the normal reaction when facing an absolute level difference.

Like Lu Yang, who seemed resigned to his fate, Tang Yunsheng had seen many such cultivators before.

Kill!

Tang Yunsheng emitted a terrifying aura, clearly a major demon who had killed countless people.

He gave a ferocious smile, leapt high into the air with endless killing intent, aiming to chop the three into pieces, leaving no trace of their bodies!

At that moment, space twisted near a large boulder, and the sect leader of the Undying Sect stretched lazily, walking out from the fifth backup site.

He let others tidy up inside while he came out to rest.

Then he saw Tang Yunsheng with a bloodied sword, leaping high, about to kill Lu Yang and the others, who stood motionless as if petrified.

Sect Leader: “……”

Tang Yunsheng: “……”

The sect leader was full of question marks, wondering what was going on.

“Tang Yunsheng, what are you doing!” Realizing it was not the time for questions, the sect leader shouted and made a bold move, capturing Tang Yunsheng with a sound of bones crunching.

“Wait, Sect Leader, I can explain…” Tang Yunsheng panicked. What kind of luck was this? He just picked a random place, and the sect leader appeared?

The sect leader didn’t listen to Tang Yunsheng’s nonsense. Without regard for the consequences, he brutally scanned Tang Yunsheng’s mind, damaging his sanity in the process and learning of his memories.

To become a demonic sect leader, one naturally wasn’t a kind person. Killing and looting, scanning minds – these were things he had done often.

The sect leader finally understood the whole story.

Lu Yang and the others had successfully infiltrated the Dao Seeking Sect, but because of the actions of Vice-leaders Liu and Gao, the plan to infiltrate was completely ruined.

That was not all. After Liu and Gao’s failure, they revealed that Vice-leader Jin was a traitor. Lu Yang and the others, loyal to the core, intended to report this to the headquarters but were nearly killed due to Tang Yunsheng’s selfishness.

“Damn fool!” The sect leader crushed Tang Yunsheng to death. If he hadn’t appeared by chance, these three devoted seeds of the demonic path, Lu Yang and the others, would have died here!

Actually, after the mind search, Tang Yunsheng had become a fool, practically no different from a dead man.

“You three have suffered.” The sect leader consoled them, meeting Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, and Barbarian Bone for the first time.

Talented and promising pillars of the demonic cult, future key ministers.

Lu Yang: “……”

Lu Yang heard Tang Yunsheng’s last cry of “Sect Leader,” so this middle-aged man in front of him is the Undying Sect’s Sect Leader?

He just came out from the fifth backup site?

And the three of them have gained the Sect Leader’s trust?

A string of questions popped into Lu Yang’s mind.

Is there a step missing? How did they achieve their goal so quickly?

Inside the spiritual space, Eldest Senior Sister remained unchanged, still detached from worldly concerns, and said, “Everything is according to plan.”

Everlasting Fairy looked up to Eldest Senior Sister in admiration, thinking how clever and calculating this young girl was, something she herself could never achieve.

Meng Jingzhou and Barbarian Bone also thought this was part of Eldest Senior Sister’s plan, feeling deep admiration towards Eldest Senior Sister, feeling that nothing could escape her calculations.

With Eldest Senior Sister around, they felt secure.

Only Lu Yang looked puzzled, suspecting it all to be coincidental.

But considering Eldest Senior Sister’s abilities, he felt that even coincidences were part of the plan.

Yes, Eldest Senior Sister’s plan is perfect.

Originally, the Sect Leader thought Lu Yang and the others were talents with great potential, suitable to be possessed by Everlasting Celestial. But he was worried that if they died in the Dao Seeking Sect, or if they were not killed, they could potentially be turned by the Dao Seeking Sect, making them untrustworthy and unfit to be called to the headquarters for testing.

Now, having witnessed this scene and with Tang Yunsheng’s memories as confirmation, all doubts dissipated.

“As for the matter of Vice-leader Jin, do not speak of it to anyone. I hope only the four of us know about this,” the Sect Leader believed the claim that Vice-leader Jin was a traitor could have been a desperate last accusation by Liu and Gao.

Everlasting Fairy nodded.

Eldest Senior Sister nodded.

Everlasting Fairy half-nodded, then frowned, “This person is strange. Why do I sense a familiar aura from him?”

The aura was too faint and required careful attention, “It’s like the everlasting ariya-phala, but not quite, odd.”

Hearing Everlasting Fairy’s mutterings, Yun Zhi raised an eyebrow, feeling that the truth about the Undying Sect might be different from what she had imagined.

The Sect Leader personally led Lu Yang and the others into the fifth backup site.

Lu Yang and the others finally arrived at the headquarters of the Undying Sect, but the scene was not what they had imagined.

Instead of a vision of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, or a terrifying atmosphere with old demons lurking in the shadows as expected of the Undying Sect’s headquarters, the reality was quite different. Followers were busily moving about, carrying bricks, sawing wood, constructing buildings and altars, engaged in extensive building activities.

The Sect Leader casually mentioned, “For safety and to avoid being tracked by the Dao Seeking Sect, we just moved here. Although everything has been moved, it still needs to be organized and built.”

“You three have arrived just in time. The sect is preparing for an internal selection; soon, a large group of followers of the Foundation Building and Qi Training stages will arrive, and you will compete on the same stage. The best among you will gain the favor of Everlasting Celestial.”

“Enough talk for now. You three will stay here for the time being. When the selection begins, someone will notify you. I have other matters to attend to.”

With that, the Sect Leader hurried off.

The Undying Sect no longer had any backup sites available; he needed to select three new ones as a precaution.

His success as Sect Leader was due not only to his cultivation level but also to his caution.
