Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 633: There Are No Shortcuts in Cultivation
Lu Yang was astounded by his Second Senior Brother’s wisdom. What a genius method! Why didn’t I think of it?!
“Immortal Fairy, does this method work?” He turned to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy with hopeful eyes.
“You can lie to yourself. Your Second Senior Brother’s nascent soul has spirit intelligence, so you can fool it with a few words. But your nascent soul isn’t sentient. How are you going to hoodwink it?”
Lu Yang hung his head dispiritedly. It seems this method won’t work. I can only defeat the nascent soul through honest effort.
He returned to the “Yun Zhi Section” and studied Yun Zhi’s writings word by word. He found them to be rich with profound meaning and gained much from reading them. “As expected of Big Senior Sister. Her insights are very reasonable, and upon careful contemplation, deeper layers of truth can be gleaned.”
This is far more useful than the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s guidance. The more Lu Yang read, the more the articles resonated with him. It’s as if I have written them myself!
Two months passed in a flash. During this time, Lu Yang remained stationed in the scripture library and never left the second floor. He studied Nascent Soul cultivation techniques tirelessly until he forgot to eat and sleep, reaping significant gains.
Sitting cross-legged on a straw mat, he breathed evenly, as though he was asleep, yet seemingly in a deeper layer of comprehension. Various cultivation philosophies and methods swirled in his mind in a tangled mess. What he needed to do was to disentangle the chaos, extract the usable parts, and adapt them to his own situation, thereby creating a cultivation technique unique to himself.
Studying multiple cultivation techniques posed a heavy burden on a cultivator’s mind. Only Lu Yang, whose mental power was unbeatable among his peers, could handle it. Any other Nascent Soul cultivator would have been overwhelmed and passed out.
Lu Yang opened his eyes, his pupils sparkling, and a confident smile playing on his lips. He swiftly moved his brush across the paper and wrote a new chapter.
“This must be the cultivation technique Big Senior Sister wanted me to write.”
~~~
“Better than last time. I only need to revise eighty percent of it,” Yun Zhi declared after earnestly reviewing Lu Yang’s Nascent Soul Chapter of the Clear Heart True Nature Mantra.
Last time, when Lu Yang wrote the Golden Core chapter, eighty percent of it also required revision. However, the remaining twenty percent needed no revision because it was directly copied from Yun Zhi.
This time, at least the remaining twenty percent was original content Yun Zhi approved of.
“What does your nascent soul look like? What are its special features? Release it for me to take a look.” Before modifying the cultivation technique, Yun Zhi wanted to see Lu Yang’s nascent soul and make targeted revisions.
“Uh...that’s a bit difficult.” Lu Yang revealed a troubled expression. Until he could defeat the Unbeatable Nascent Soul, he couldn’t let it out.
Yun Zhi raised an eyebrow. “Where can I see it?”
“In my mental space.”
Without another word, Yun Zhi’s soul left her body and flew into Lu Yang’s mental space.
Jiang Lianyi was also curious about Lu Yang’s nascent soul. According to what he said, his golden core is the same as Everlasting-jiejie’s, so it should also be the case for his nascent soul. But I’ve forgotten what Everlasting-jiejie’s golden core and nascent soul were like.
During the two months in the scripture library, she had roughly grasped the situation of the current cultivation world; staying longer was unnecessary.
Lu Yang’s mental space instantly became lively with the indigenous resident Everlasting Immortal Fairy, visitor Yun Zhi, visitor Jiang Lianyi, and tenant Lu Yang.
Lu Yang severed the link with the Unbeatable Nascent Soul with familiarity, was brutally thrashed by it with familiarity, and reconnected the link with it with familiarity.
Performance over.
Yun Zhi’s and Jiang Lianyi’s expressions were also spectacular. Yun Zhi recalled her Second Junior Brother, whom she hadn’t seen in a long while, while Jiang Lianyi hated her amnesia, which caused her to forget that her Everlasting-jiejie also used to have such exciting experiences.
However, Yun Zhi was the Big Senior Sister after all. She discerned that Lu Yang’s nascent soul differed from Ye Zijin’s.
Lu Yang explained, “The Everlasting Immortal Fairy told me that in theory, so long as I defeat the Unbeatable Nascent Soul, I’ll be able to use it.”
Yun Zhi cast a meaningful look at the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. “In theory, huh...”
As if her little schemes had been seen through by Yun Zhi, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s gaze drifted away, avoiding Yun Zhi’s eyes.
Yun Zhi turned around, her countenance serious. “If you wish to defeat your nascent soul, you cannot pull any tricks. Just as there are no shortcuts in cultivation, you must cultivate steadily and surpass your nascent soul in every aspect!”
Lu Yang humbly consulted, “Big Senior Sister, then how did you reach such a realm in less than a thousand years?”
“Through talent.”
Lu Yang, “...”
“Alright, I already know how to revise your cultivation technique. It’ll be done in two hours.”
Yun Zhi exited the mental space and waved for Lu Yang and Jiang Lianyi to leave. She preferred writing cultivation techniques alone. In reality, her main goal was to make the Everlasting Immortal Fairy leave.
Too noisy.
As her Little Junior Brother, Lu Yang obeyed Yun Zhi’s words.
As an evenly matched rival, Jiang Lianyi respected the creed leader.
The two descended the mountain.
“By the way, I haven’t introduced you yet, Senior. There’s one more person in the Everlasting Lineage you haven’t met.” Lu Yang remembered the third-in-command.
In private, Lu Yang had asked the Everlasting Immortal Fairy whether Jiang Lianyi counted as a member of the Everlasting Lineage, and the Everlasting Immortal Fairy firmly said no.
“Although Lianyi and Little Ling studied under me, they achieved nothing in the Dao of Everlasting. Moreover, their Dao Fruits are destined for the Survival of the Fittest Lineage.”
The Everlasting Lineage had strict criteria.
It was afternoon but not yet mealtime. The barbeque stall wasn’t open, its staff deftly using arrays to skewer the ingredients.
After many improvements, from only skewering meat, the array could now skewer enoki mushrooms, green beans, and more. It had become a versatile professional skewering array!
With the Everlasting Immortal’s strategy of “attack far, befriend nearby,” the barbeque shop’s influence grew underground, secretly controlling numerous restaurants. It had become a bona fide industry giant!
Lu Yang was surprised to run into someone in front of the shop.
“Junior Brother Man, what brings you here?”
“Senior Brother Lu, it’s been a long while since we last met. Over half a year, right?” Man Gu grinned, rubbing the back of his head. “I just broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, so I’m here for barbeque skewers to celebrate.”
“Congratulations, Junior Brother Man! Your cultivation progress is pretty fast, eh?” Lu Yang smiled. “Shall we eat together?”
Man Gu naturally agreed.
Noticing Man Gu’s identity, Jiang Lianyi exclaimed softly, “Hmm? This little fellow is the last Ancient Barbarian?”
“Speaking of which, Senior, since the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s existence was erased, how did the Ancient Barbarian Tribe come to be in your memory?”
According to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, the Barbarian Tribe lived on the North Star. She planted a Tame Head Curse on their bloodline, creating the Ancient Barbarians, whose bloodline traits included countering demons. Since the mastermind behind the scenes erased the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s existence, the Ancient Barbarian Tribe’s origin should have also changed.
Jiang Lianyi’s expression turned peculiar. “It’s said that the Heaven Mandate Immortal was fond of women, regardless of whether they were beautiful or ugly. One of them was the Ancient Barbarian Tribe’s female ancestor, and from this union, the first generation of Ancient Barbarians was born.”
