Chapter 180: Junior Brother Lu, Do You Have Any Unfulfilled Wishes?

Translator: yikaii Editor: yikaii

As an immortal, the Everlasting Fairy managed to survive the cruel and barbaric ancient times to achieve immortality and rank among the five immortals. Apart from her great luck, her many secret abilities also played a crucial part.

The Everlasting Fairy’s eyes showed a cold glint. The opponent’s cultivation was too high, ordinary methods would definitely not work. Therefore, she had no choice but to use her forbidden technique that manipulates time — the Playing Dead Technique!

With a thud, the Everlasting Fairy’s vitality vanished, and she fell to the ground, motionless, without a heartbeat or pulse, and her soul could not be felt.

This gave Senior Brother Wu quite a scare. He hadn’t made his move yet, so how did the person die?

“Should we bury him?” someone suggested from below.

“He deserves a proper burial.” Senior Brother Wu nodded in agreement. During the days when Lu Yang served as the sect master, everyone witnessed his contributions.

The Everlasting Fairy got a shock and quickly got up. Senior Brother Wu, as if facing a great enemy, was very nervous and pulled out a yellow talisman, sticking it on Lu Yang’s forehead.

“Unexpectedly, Junior Brother Lu has turned into a zombie. Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?”

Senior Brother Wu silently chanted the rebirth mantra: “Dust to dust, earth to earth, everything is in the past. Junior Brother Lu, speak your wish, and your brother will fulfill it for you.”

The Everlasting Fairy spoke faintly: “My wish is to defeat Yun Zhi.”

Senior Brother Wu’s expression changed slightly and also placed a yellow talisman on Lu Yang’s mouth: “Junior Brother Lu, do you have any other unfulfilled wishes?”

The Everlasting Fairy couldn’t speak.

Senior Brother Wu breathed a sigh of relief: “It seems there are none.”

The crowd wailed in sorrow, lifting Lu Yang’s still warm body and burying it in the small forest of Heaven’s Gate Peak, leaving only the head exposed.

Then they left Heaven’s Gate Peak and hurried to the mission hall, wanting to complete missions, accumulate contribution points, exchange them for an acting sect master experience coupon, and enjoy the thrill of being an acting sect master.

In the three days the Everlasting Fairy served as the acting sect master, she was quite active, sparking people’s addiction to being an acting sect master.

“Being the sect master seems fun.”

“I have some ideas that can only be realized by being the sect master.”

Everyone put their full effort into heading to the mission hall to take on missions, startling Dai Bufan.

He had never seen everyone so enthusiastic before, like they were rushing to buy discounted goods.

In the end, the mission wall was completely empty; all missions were taken, making Dai Bufan twitch.

After understanding the reason, Dai Bufan was relieved. If it was for this reason, he wasn’t worried that the junior brothers and sisters were just momentarily excited.

Exchanging for an acting sect master experience coupon by completing one or two missions wouldn’t work.

Unless someone, like the Everlasting Fairy, managed to kill a Unity Stage demon cultivator.

“That’s good, the number of missions has been increasing lately, which can satisfy their needs.”

Starting yesterday, the number of commoners from The Great Xia Dynasty seeking help from the Dao Seeking Sect increased.

Dai Bufan noticed the change and paid attention. He found that those seeking help from the Dao Seeking Sect all came from the same place.

After inquiring further, he found out that these people listened to wandering storytellers narrating “The Legends of Dao Seeking Sect,” learning about such a place that punishes evil and promotes good.

Dai Bufan pondered, understanding the root cause: “It seems that Eldest Senior Sister’s effort to have the sect master narrate stories everywhere and promote the Dao Seeking Sect is starting to show results.”

However, Dai Bufan also heard some strange things, such as commoners seeking help from the Dao Seeking Sect wanting to meet Daoist Non-Speaker, the one from “The Legends of Dao Seeking Sect” who turned the tide, changed the declining state of the Dao Seeking Sect, and made the Dao Seeking Sect leap to the forefront of the Five Great Immortal Sects.

Aside from the name, Dai Bufan couldn’t find any connection between the sect master and the legendary Daoist Non-Speaker.

Among the Five Great Immortal Sects, it’s hard to distinguish their strengths since it’s uncertain who might be hiding some old monsters. Discussing their power based on overt combat strength is meaningless.

The Dao Seeking Sect had experienced decline, but that was several generations ago and had nothing to do with the last or the current generation. By the time Daoist Non-Speaker took over the Dao Seeking Sect, it had already shaken off its period of decline.

However, the emergence of Yun Zhi changed the indistinguishable strength balance among the Five Great Immortal Sects.

None of the old monsters hidden by any sect could match Yun Zhi in combat.

Even the old ancestors hidden in the forbidden grounds of The Great Xia imperial palace knew that they were no match for Yun Zhi in a one-on-one fight, let alone the old monsters from the Five Great Immortal Sects.

These old monsters were prominent figures in their active years, controlling the direction of the era and stirring up storms. Now retired, their reputations are not as prominent.

These people couldn’t beat a young girl; admitting this might feel embarrassing, so they didn’t detail Yun Zhi’s strength, only hinting to the current leaders to be cautious.

Although people of this era do not know Yun Zhi’s exact strength, they remember the old monsters’ teachings not to provoke Yun Zhi.

Among them, the Emperor of Xia did the best job.

“Speaking of which, how many contribution points should be given for Junior Brother Lu’s trick of luring the high ranks of the demonic cult into a trap all at once?”

“Although the most critical step was completed by Eldest Senior Sister, the contributions of Lu Yang and the others are also significant.” Dai Bufan was somewhat troubled.

“Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore. Let Eldest Senior Sister decide.” Dai Bufan put the matter out of his mind.

…

In the small forest of Heaven’s Gate Peak, Lu Yang’s head emerged, turning around, as control of his body returned to him.

“Shrinking Earth.”

With a whoosh, Lu Yang emerged from the ground.

The senior brothers and sisters hadn’t been ruthless. Knowing Lu Yang could use earth escape techniques, they intentionally gave him a chance. Otherwise, if they used a move like “Turning Earth into Steel,” Lu Yang would have been in real trouble.

“Congratulations, you have successfully passed this immortal’s test.” The Everlasting Fairy clapped her hands.

She analyzed seriously, “You’ve gained a lot this time, not only in terms of combat experience but also in visible growth in various techniques. Even your cultivation is close to the late stage of Foundation Building. I guarantee you’re the strongest in your age group!”

Lu Yang remained silent, staring at her like a ghost.

“Cough cough, don’t look at this immortal that way.” The Everlasting Fairy coughed twice.

“This immortal said, as long as you passed this test, I would give you part of my inheritance. You should be thrilled. In ancient times, if you weren’t this immortal’s disciple, how could you learn this immortal’s techniques?”

Lu Yang looked at the Everlasting Fairy skeptically, “You had disciples in the ancient times?”

“No.”

“…” It’s lucky you didn’t. Otherwise how many people’s time would you have wasted?

The Everlasting Fairy didn’t know what Lu Yang was thinking and continued, “The technique I’m teaching you this time is significant. It’s a technique that the Immemorial Immortal begged this immortal to learn after attaining immortality, involving time and the future.”

“Although this immortal is not as talented in time-related techniques as the Immemorial Immortal, only learning the basics, it’s more than enough to teach you!”

“What technique?”

“Foreseeing the future!”

Lu Yang gasped, surprised he had the opportunity to learn this famous technique. It couldn’t just be called a technique; calling it an immortal art wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Has the fairy finally played the role of a golden finger?

This beating wasn’t in vain after all.
