Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 76: Evaluation

“Who on earth borrowed my power?” Yun Zhi was perplexed. Every single person from the Everlasting Creed had fled, only leaving behind the Mountains and Rivers Cauldron that could purchase an entire first-class sect.

Now I can’t find who the culprit was.

There was a type of spell called the Divine Descent Technique that allowed one to borrow another’s power with their permission. However, the spell was not only extremely challenging to master, but it was also on the verge of being lost through the generations. It had been a long time since Yun Zhi had seen such spells.

Besides, who can borrow my power without my permission? Yun Zhi had sensed no malicious intentions from the other party, which was why she instinctively didn’t hinder her power from flowing out.

I can roughly guess who it was.

“But where did he learn the Divine Descent Technique?” Yun Zhi didn’t recall teaching Lu Yang such spells.

First Place: Lu Yang

“Hmm? Someone else has taken first place?” The vice creed leader was bewildered.

As they were busy fleeing for their lives, they didn’t have a chance to pay attention to what Lu Yang had done. Since the Mountains and Rivers Cauldron was also shattered, they couldn’t watch the playback.

“The Immortal Eye never makes mistakes. These three people must have caused the most destruction!” asserted the creed leader despite also being unable to guess what Lu Yang had done.

The previous first-place had killed several hundreds of people in a short time and brought deleterious impacts to the lives of several thousands more. Yet Lu Yang could surpass this person in such a short time! That’s unbelievably remarkable!

There’s no need for me to speculate either. The Immortal Eye is an immortal’s precious treasure and of a higher tier than the Mountains and Rivers Cauldron; it definitely won’t go wrong.

Indeed, as Lu Yang had summoned Yun Zhi over, which led to the destruction of the Mountains and Rivers Cauldron and the Everlasting Creed’s headquarters, the destruction he brought to the creed could go down as one of the top three in history.

Just the amount of damage he inflicted upon the creed leader alone could earn him the first position.

The creed leader was so proud that he forgot the pain he felt. “See, I told you so. This Lu Yang possesses great wisdom. Even if he was lagging behind, when you're not paying attention, he can pull a big move any moment. Look, he's now risen to first place.

“Don't be fooled by the average performance of Meng Jingzhou and the Man Gu you favor. That's because they didn't have time. With enough time, I guarantee they'll make it to second and third.”

The vice creed leader admitted his defeat graciously. As expected of the creed leader! Not only is he prudent, he also has a sharp eye. No wonder I'm only a vice creed leader while he's the legitimate creed leader.

“What's your evaluation of Lu Yang?”

After contemplating for a bit, the creed leader slowly said, “In the first round, Lu Yang went for an unconventional gambit, revealing his talent in martial Dao and a rare display of entering the Dao through martial arts. In the second round, with attentive observation, he inferred a pattern and leveraged it to buy the potatoes, preventing those behind him from taking part in the trial. This is evidence of how destructive he is, and it is especially prominent in the third round. It's not an exaggeration to call him an Innate Diabolic Spawn.

The vice creed leader was astonished. I've known the creed leader for so long, but I've never heard him give someone such a high appraisal.

“What about Meng Jingzhou?”

“In the first round, he obtained powers after getting bitten by the spider, a manifestation of his good fortune. He is probably a Dao Spawn whose birth was ordained by the heavens. In the second round, he meticulously studied the question and analyzed it from multiple angles. He might have seemed arrogant and domineering, but in fact, every step was calculated. With his strategy, he eventually broke through the examiner’s psychological defense and successfully passed. Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to showcase his strengths in the third round before it ended, falling slightly short of Lu Yang. I suppose he can be considered a Descended Dao Diabolic.”

The assessment “Descended Dao Diabolic” was also extremely hard to come by. Hardly anyone in the younger generation had attained such high praise from the creed leader. Looks like this Meng Jingzhou has a bright future ahead of him.

“What about Man Gu?”

“In the first round, he possessed abilities to comprehend, persevere, and strategize. In the second round, he was thorough in thinking through the question. It's just that he didn't have much of an opinion in the third round. In the past trials, his performance would be considered stellar, but unfortunately, when comparing him to the illustrious pearls in front of him, I can only rate him as Diabolism in Heart.”

Diabolism in Heart... judging based on past experience, as long as they didn't meet their demise, they could all join the upper ranks of the Everlasting Creed.

“Shall we transfer them to the headquarters to groom them?” the vice creed leader asked.

The creed leader shook his head, tapping on his experience as he explained, “No rush, they can start from the bottom so that they minimally have two years of foundational experience. Trust me, experience at the grassroots level will be beneficial for them in the long run. This was how I made my way up.

“Furthermore, I have another plan. Lu Yang is imaginative and uninhibited while possessing much destructive force. When he matures, let’s see if he can infiltrate a righteous sect like the Dao-Seeking Sect.”

The vice creed leader couldn’t stop himself from laughing. The creed leader thinks too highly of them. If we’re talking about other righteous sects, there’s still a chance, but the Dao-Seeking Sect is too enormous of a challenge. Just keeping up with their disciples’ line of thought alone is already a hurdle for almost anyone. Assuming they really infiltrate the sect, it won’t be long before they get exposed for not fitting in.

Infiltrating the Dao-Seeking Sect is easier said than done.

“I’ll go tend to my wounds first.” The sect leader went to a secret chamber to go into seclusion and recuperate.

Up until now, the vice creed leader had never harbored thoughts of usurping power. Today was a prime example of that. Although killing the creed leader can let me move one step up, what comes after that? What if the righteous path attacks us again? Can I make the right decisions then?

As soon as I make a wrong judgment, I’ll definitely die under the righteous path’s attacks. It’ll be too late to regret usurping power then.

At the Yanjiang Branch, the branch leader had just received word from a messenger sent by the creed leader. “A total of ten people passed the trials, and three of them received the evaluations of Innate Diabolic Spawn, Descended Dao Diabolic, and Diabolism in Heart?!” The branch leader was over the moon, his eyebrows raising in joy. The results are even better than I had expected! My opportunity at promotion is right before my eyes!

As for the rogue diabolic cultivators who didn’t pass the first and second rounds, the eleven administrators would split up to dump them at various places while they were still unconscious. After they wake up, they would forget the location of the Yanjiang Branch and think that everything was just a dream.

The most foolproof method was to kill them to ensure that they wouldn’t leak the location of the Yanjiang Branch. However, for the sake of the greater picture, the Everlasting Creed didn’t do so. With these rogue diabolic cultivators wreaking havoc in their respective territories, they could draw the attention of the righteous path. Amid the chaos, the righteous path wouldn’t be able to distinguish which acts were committed by rogue diabolic cultivators and which were by the diabolic creeds, thereby achieving the effect of confusing the righteous path.

Lu Yang and the other two slowly woke up, their minds muddled after the many events that had just transpired.

What did I see before passing out... Big Senior Sister descending from the sky?!

Lu Yang broke into cold sweat. Big Senior Sister didn’t see me transforming into her, right? If she did, she’s surely going to skin me.

Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu also recalled what happened. Lu Yang’s Animal Form Fist had summoned the real Big Senior Sister.

Lu Yang’s gaze warned the two of them to keep it a secret, and the two tactfully nodded.

The branch leader suppressed the delight in their heart and tried their best to speak in a neutral tone, “From today onward, the ten of you will be a part of the Everlasting Creed.

“Usually, we should first go through with an initiation ceremony, but the three rounds of trials today have already exhausted everyone, myself included. Visiting the Everlasting Immortal in such a state would be disrespectful. We will assemble here again tomorrow and officially hold the initiation ceremony.”

Lu Yang could discern that when the Everlasting Immortal was mentioned, the branch leader’s tone as well as the expressions of the eleven administrators would change. This means that they truly believe in the Everlasting Immortal’s existence.

No wonder they call themselves a creed.

He then heard the branch leader say, “However, since there are new members joining us today, it also wouldn’t be right to not celebrate. I’ll tell you what, let’s go out and have a meal. I heard that a new barbeque shop has opened in the commandery. It’s called ‘One More Time.’ The taste is pretty good, and it has many positive reviews. We’ll gather there in a short while; my treat.”

Lu Yang, “...”

Meng Jingzhou, “...”

Man Gu, “...”

Not letting us rest, huh?
