Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 76: Evaluation

“Who exactly borrowed my power?” Yun Zhi wondered. The Everlasting Sect had fled lock, stock, and barrel, not even leaving a person behind, only the Mountain and Rivers Cauldron, which was valuable enough to buy a top-tier sect.

Even now, she couldn’t find who had borrowed her power.

Magic includes a spell called “Divine Descent,” which allows borrowing power with the owner’s permission. However, this spell is nearly lost and very difficult to learn; Yun Zhi hadn’t seen it used in a long time.

And who could borrow power without her consent? Yun Zhi felt the person who borrowed the power had no ill intent, which is why she instinctively didn’t resist the power leakage.

Yun Zhi had a guess who it might be.

“But where did he learn Divine Descent?”

Yun Zhi didn’t remember teaching Lu Yang such a spell.

...

First place, Lu Yang.

“Hm? The first place changed?” The Vice Sect Leader was puzzled; they had been too busy fleeing to notice what Lu Yang had done.

The Mountain and Rivers Cauldron shattered, so they couldn’t review the playback.

“But the Everlasting Eye cannot be wrong; these three caused the most destruction!” The Sect Leader affirmed, he also hadn’t guessed what Lu Yang had done. The previous first place, in a short time, had killed hundreds and put thousands in danger, and Lu Yang managed to surpass him to become first, truly unimaginable.

But there’s no need to guess; the Everlasting Eye, being a treasure of the immortals, even more superior than the Mountain and Rivers Cauldron, is absolutely infallible.

Indeed, Lu Yang summoning Yun Zhi, destroying the Mountain and Rivers Cauldron, and the headquarters of the Everlasting Sect, brought about one of the top three acts of destruction in its history.

In terms of damage brought to the Sect Leader alone, he deserves first place.

The Sect Leader, forgetting his pain, proudly said, “See, I told you, this Lu Yang has great wisdom. Just when you’re not paying attention, he can make a big move, now he’s in first place.”

“Don’t underestimate Meng Jingzhou and Barbarian Bone, whom you favor. Given enough time, they would surely rank second and third.”

The Vice Sect Leader was thoroughly convinced, the Sect Leader is indeed the Sect Leader, not only cautious in action but also sharp in insight. No wonder he’s the Sect Leader, and the other is only a Vice Sect Leader.

“What’s your evaluation of Lu Yang?”

After pondering for a moment, the Sect Leader slowly said, “In the first challenge, Lu Yang took an unconventional approach, revealing his martial arts talent, entering the path through martial arts, which is rare in the world. In the second challenge, he observed closely, summarized the rules, bought all the potatoes, making it impossible for subsequent interviewees to take the test, showing his tremendous potential for destruction. This characteristic was even more pronounced in the third challenge, calling him a ‘natural-born demon’ wouldn’t be an exaggeration.”

Those demonic cultivators who failed the first and second challenges, during their unconscious state, the eleven stewards acted separately, disposing of them in various locations. When they woke up, they would forget the location of Yanjiang Lodge, thinking their recent experiences were just a dream.

The most foolproof method would be to kill them, ensuring the location of Yanjiang Lodge would never be exposed. However, the Everlasting Sect, considering the bigger picture, did not do so.

These demonic cultivators caused trouble wherever they went, attracting the attention of the righteous path. Amidst various chaotic information, the righteous path could not discern which actions were of the demonic cultivators and which were of the demonic sects, achieving the effect of muddying the waters.

Lu Yang and the others gradually woke up, their minds a bit muddled from the overwhelming experiences.

The last scene they remembered before passing out was... the eldest senior sister descending from the sky?!

Lu Yang broke out in a cold sweat, hoping the eldest senior sister hadn’t seen him transform into her likeness. If she had, he’d be skinned alive.

Meng Jingzhou and Barbarian Bone also remembered what happened. Lu Yang’s Shape-Imitating Fist had summoned the real eldest senior sister.

Lu Yang warned them with his eyes not to leak the news, and they promptly nodded in understanding.

The helmsman suppressed his joy, attempting to sound as neutral as possible, “From today on, you ten are members of our Everlasting Sect.”

“Normally, an initiation ceremony should be held, but today’s three rounds of tests have drained everyone’s energy, myself included. It would be disrespectful to pay homage to the Everlasting Being in this state. Let’s formally hold the initiation ceremony here tomorrow.”

Lu Yang could tell from the helmsman’s tone and the expressions of the eleven stewards that their faith in the Everlasting Being wasn’t a facade but a genuine belief in the existence of the Everlasting Being.

“No wonder it’s called a ‘sect,’” Lu Yang thought. (TL Note: To everyone who also didn’t know this, “A sect is a religious group that exists inside of a larger religion” I debated changing it to cult but I’m honestly too lazy and it mostly fits lol)

The helmsman continued, “However, it wouldn’t be right not to celebrate the addition of new members today. Let’s go out for a meal.”

“I heard there’s a new barbecue restaurant in the county called ‘Come Again’, with good reviews. Let’s meet there in a bit; my treat.”

Lu Yang: “......”

Meng Jingzhou: “......”

Barbarian Bone: “......”

No rest, then?
