Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 467: Ancient Immortal Gatherings

Lu Yang was currently impersonating the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s golden finger, exercising the authority of acting sect leader to plan the sect celebration. After all, we can’t just invite everyone over to eat and drink while the Immortal Fairy gives her opening and closing remarks. That would be too lackluster for a 120,000-year anniversary.

Let alone passing Yun Zhi’s standards, even Lu Yang himself couldn’t bear to look at it.

Well, maybe it could pass the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s standards.

“Celebrations should be about having fun together. Why make it so complicated?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy spoke from experience, advising Lu Yang to abandon modern extravagant customs. “Even our ancient immortal gatherings weren’t this elaborate. When I offered to cook, the Qilin Immortal and the others told me not to cook so as not to overexert myself.”

These so-called ancient immortal gatherings were essentially the Everlasting Immortal Fairy using her charisma to gather four other unfortunate souls, occasionally including the Qilin Immortal’s two wives.

“Then what did you do at these gatherings?”

“Exchange cultivation insights, of course. With only five of us immortals then, it was hard to find peers to discuss with, so everyone treasured each gathering. We would freely speak and study the remarkable applications of Dao Fruits. Such intellectual exchanges often sparked new ideas or left trials for later generations.”

Lu Yang nodded. This finally sounds like the immortals in my impression—discussing the Immortal Dao and setting trials for future generations.

“Specifically?”

“Specifically, I researched how to maximize the damage from self-detonation.

“The Heaven Mandate Immortal asked if we could brainstorm other tricky tribulation punishments.

“The Epoch Immortal said he developed new applications of the Epoch Dao Fruit, creating a mysterious space where time flowed differently; one day inside equaled a year outside.”

Lu Yang, “...”

Please stop terrorizing the world.

“Other times, we would write stories, like the Heavenly Court and Buddhist sects. Don’t underestimate these tales! We crafted them with care, and every one of them contained profound principles to inspire future generations.

“The Heaven Mandate Immortal claimed it would also obscure ancient history for later generations, thereby covering up any embarrassing incidents.”

Lu Yang felt that the Heaven Mandate Immortal was another ruthless individual. Even with the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s “help” in dragging him down, he went to great lengths to maintain his image. I wonder whether he is aware that he has become a philanderer who seduced married women and impregnated countless women.

Since I empathize with the Heaven Mandate Immortal, I hope he empathizes with me too by showing mercy when coming for my life.

“Sometimes, we’d play catch with the planets. Mortals called it ‘meteor showers’ and viewed them as divine miracles, making wishes upon seeing us tossing the planets around.”

Lu Yang proved an excellent listener, quietly absorbing these ancient tales from the Everlasting Immortal Fairy for a full hour, occasionally reacting to the stories and prompting thoughtful questions.

It’s said that history constantly repeats itself and that one should draw on the lessons from history. After carefully considering the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s experiences from the ancient immortal gatherings, he found no lessons he could draw on and finally reached a conclusion.

I have wasted an entire hour.

Just then, Yun Zhi walked into the cave abode. Although her countenance remained impassive as usual, her little junior brother Lu Yang had a fifty percent accuracy in reading her micro-expressions.

I’m certain she has business to discuss.

Despite the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s lower accuracy rate, she also made the same judgment. After all, I’m performing magnificently as acting sect leader. Lass Yun wouldn’t visit for no reason.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was bubbling with joy on the inside. I’m the acting sect leader, while Lu Yang and Lass Yun are my loyal adjutants.

“Big Senior Sister, what brings you here?” Lu Yang asked, still in control of his body.

“I just received news that the Xia Emperor has an idea that he needs to implement, and he hopes the sect leaders of the Five Great Immortal Sects can convene for a meeting in the imperial palace.”

Lu Yang and Yun Zhi stared at each other for a few seconds before Lu Yang pointed at himself incredulously. “Me?”

“Not you. It’s Senior Immortal Fairy,” Yun Zhi corrected seriously.

“That’s good then...wait, how is there any difference?!”

“Of course, there’s a difference!” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy huffed. “I will be attending the meeting, not you!” She eyed Lu Yang, suspicious that the latter harbored treasonous ambitions.

Lu Yang tuned out the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s outcry.

Despite my impressive credentials—being the youngest disciple of the Taciturn Daoist Priest, Big Senior Sister’s little junior brother, the second-in-command of the Everlasting Lineage, creed founder of the Everlasting Creed, young creed leader of the Heavenly Court Creed, host to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, the strongest Golden Core cultivator, and record-holder for challenging beyond one’s level—the thought of sitting alongside the Xia Emperor and other sect leaders to discuss major affairs of the righteous path still makes me uneasy.

“I’ll go with you.” Yun Zhi finally shared a piece of good news.

Lu Yang exhaled slightly. I’m just an insignificant Golden Core cultivator. How am I qualified to sit with the other four immortal sect leaders? But with Big Senior Sister present to provide support, the pressure will reduce drastically.

“Let’s go.”

No preparation was needed for the meeting; they simply had to be present in person. Yun Zhi exited the cave abode and pinched a cloud from the sky with two fingers, and an auspicious cloud appeared beneath her feet.

“Acting Sect Leader, after you.”

Lu Yang’s body was taken over, and the Everlasting Immortal Fairy unceremoniously used his body to step onto the cloud. She stood with her arms crossed, gazing ahead with lofty aloofness.

“Lass Yun, set off.”

Whoosh. The cloud accelerated violently. Caught off guard, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy lost her footing and tumbled from one end of the cloud to the other, barely clinging onto it with half her body dangling precariously over the edge.

After much effort, she finally climbed back onto the cloud, albeit in a sorry state. “Lass Yun, you did that on purpose!” She pouted at Yun Zhi.

Yun Zhi deadpanned, “No, it was an accident.”

“On purpose!” 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

“An accident.”

“On purpose!”

“Accident.”

Lu Yang interjected, interrupting a great battle between cultivators of the past and present that was about to boil over. “By the way, Big Senior Sister, did the Xia Emperor mention the meeting’s agenda?”

“He said he wants to organize a competition for young cultivators to identify those who have dispersed their cultivation to start anew.”

“What?”

~~~

The Imperial Preceptor lifted his head, eyes narrowing as he watched the auspicious cloud pass overhead.

“Your Excellency, what’s the matter?” his subordinate asked, hoping to assist his master.

“That was Lu Yang on the cloud just now.”

His subordinate was floored. “What?! Should we strike now?”

They had come to the Dao-Seeking Sect’s vicinity to survey the sect’s surrounding defenses and layout to plan for their infiltration. Never did they expect to see their target the moment they arrived.

The Imperial Preceptor had his own plans and shook his head. “No need. Killing him now would be letting him off too easily. We must wait until the celebration begins and kill him in front of everyone!

My goal isn’t just to kill Lu Yang—I will annihilate the Dao-Seeking Sect!
