Chapter 181: Chapter 180: Junior Brother Lu, Do You Have Any Unfulfilled Wishes?_1

Being an Immortal, Fairy Eternity had managed to survive the brutal and savage ancient times, successfully becoming an immortal and making it to the ranks of the Five Immortals. Apart from having exceptional luck, she also had a myriad of aces up her sleeve.

A chilly edge revealed itself in Fairy Eternity’s eyes. Her opponent’s cultivation level was too high, and normal methods were certainly inadequate. As such, she couldn’t blame her for being merciless.

She directly employed a forbidden spell concerning time – the Playing Dead Technique!

With a thud, Fairy Eternity fell to the ground as if lifeless. Motionless, without a pulse, heartbeat or discernible soul.

Senior Brother Wu was scared out of his wits. He hadn’t even made a move, and she was already dead?

“Maybe we should bury her?” someone suggested from the crowd.

“Indeed, her funeral should be grand.” Senior Brother Wu nodded. Sect Leader Lu Yang’s contributions during his tenure were evident to everyone.

Fairy Eternity hurriedly rose, scaring the wits out of Senior Brother Wu. He quickly fumbled for a Yellow Talisman and stuck it on Lu Yang’s forehead.

“Who would have thought Brother Lu has become a zombie. Is there an unfulfilled wish you have?”

Senior Brother Wu recited a chant for crossing over: “Dust to dust, earth to earth, everything is past now. Brother Lu, speak your wish, and your brothers will fulfill it for you.”

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

Senior Brother Wu’s expression subtly changed and stuck another Yellow Talisman on Lu Yang’s mouth: “Brother Lu, do you have any other unfulfilled desires?”

Fairy Eternity was unable to speak.

Senior Brother Wu sighed with relief: “It seems there’s nothing.”

The crowd burst into wails, they lifted Lu Yang’s still warm body and buried him in the grove of Sky Gate Mountain, leaving out only his head.

Then they left Sky Gate Mountain, rushing to the Task Hall to complete tasks, accumulate contribution points, and exchange them for a chance to be the Acting Sect Leader.

In the three days since Fairy Eternity became the Acting Sect Leader, she had been extraordinarily active and had piqued everyone’s interest in experiencing being an Acting Sect Leader.

“Being a Sect Leader seems like fun.”

“I have some ideas that can only be realized by becoming the Sect Leader.”

Full of motivation, everyone headed to the Task Hall to accept tasks, shocking Dai Bufan.

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

In the end, the quest wall was barren. All the tasks had been taken, which made Dai Bufan’s eyes twitch.

Dai Bufan sighed with relief when he got to the bottom of it. If that was the reason, he didn’t have to worry about everyone being lively for the moment.

Exchanging for the Acting Sect Leader Experience coupon would require more than just completing one or two tasks.

Unless someone else like Fairy Eternity managed to kill a Demon Cultivator in the Unification stage.

“That’s good, there has been a trend of increased tasks in recent days, which can just meet their demands.”

Since yesterday, there had been an increase in ordinary individuals from the Great Xia Dynasty requesting help from the Seek Dao Sect.

Dai Bufan noticed the changes, kept an eye on it, and found that all those who came for help were from the same place.

Upon careful inquiry, he found out that these people had heard the tales told by wandering story-tellers of the “Legend of the Dao Sect”, and learned about the Seek Dao Sect, a place dedicated to punishing the wicked and upholding the good.

Dai Bufan pondered and figured out the underlying reason: “It seems that the impact of Eldest Senior Sister’s plan of promoting the Sect through storytelling is beginning to show.”

However, Dai Bufan had also heard of some strange occurrences. For instance, some ordinary individuals who came to the Sect for help wanted to meet the legendary Daoist Buyu from the story “Legend of the Dao Sect,” the one who had dramatically turned around the waning state of the Seek Dao Sect and taken it to the forefront of the Five Great Immortal Sects.

Besides the name, Dai Bufan couldn’t find any connection between the Sect Leader and the legendary Daoist Buyu.

The power balance among the Five Great Immortal Sects was difficult to determine, as none could guarantee who might be hiding some old monster in their ranks. Judging their strength based on obvious battle forces was meaningless.

The Seek Dao Sect had indeed been in decline, but that was several generations ago and had nothing to do with the current or previous generation. When Daoist Buyu took over the Sect, the Seek Dao Sect had already shed its declining state.

However, the emergence of Yun Zhi had disrupted the balance between the Five Great Immortal Sects.

Even the old monsters hidden in the forbidden land of the Great Xia imperial palace knew that they were no match for Yun Zhi in single combat, not to mention the old monsters of the Five Great Immortal Sects.

In their prime, these old monsters were renowned as powerful figures who held the reins of their era and stirred wind and rain. Now they live in seclusion, their names unknown.

The fact that none of them could defeat a young girl was admittedly embarrassing to disclose, so the details of Yun Zhi’s real strength were not clearly shared, only hinted at to the current generation to know their place.

Although the people of this era may not know the exact strength of Yun Zhi, they remember the teachings of the old monsters – never provoke Yun Zhi. Among them, Emperor Xia did it best.

“Considering that Brother Lu tricked the upper echelons of the demonic sect to come here for a total wipeout this time, how much contribution points would be appropriate?”

“Although the key step was completed by Eldest Senior Sister, the merits of Lu Yang and the others were not small either.” Dai Bufan was somewhat troubled.

“Never mind, I won’t think about it. Let Eldest Senior Sister make the decision.” Dai Bufan shrugged off the matter.

In the grove on Sky Gate Mountain, Lu Yang’s head appeared, giving his surroundings a quick scan. The control of his body had returned to him now.

“Earth Escape.”

With a swish, Lu Yang burrowed out from the ground.

Knowing that Lu Yang knew the Earth Escape technique, his senior brothers and sisters had intentionally spared him. If they had used the ‘Point Ground Into Steel’ technique, Lu Yang would really have been in trouble.

“Congratulations, congratulations, you’ve successfully passed this Immortal’s test.” Fairy Eternity clapped enthusiastically.

In all seriousness, she analyzed, “You’ve gained a lot this time, not only increasing your battle experience, but also visibly enhancing your various magic skills, even your cultivation level is nearing the late Foundation Establishment stage. I can guarantee, at your age, you are the strongest!”

Lu Yang stayed silent, looking at her with a haunted gaze.

“Ahem, don’t look at this immortal like that,” Fairy Eternity coughed awkwardly.

“I told you before, as long as you pass this test, I will give you part of my heritage. You should be pleased with yourself. In the ancient times, you wouldn’t have the chance to learn this Immortal’s methods unless you became my disciple.”

Lu Yang skeptically looked at Fairy Eternity: “Did you have disciples in ancient times?”

“No.”

Fortunately, she didn’t, otherwise wouldn’t she just ruin them?

Fairy Eternity, unaware of what Lu Yang was thinking, continued to speak, “This time, the skill I will impart to you is of great origin. This was a spell the Time Immortal asked to learn from me after he became a Daoist, involving time and future.”

“Although I am not as gifted in temporal magic as Time Immortal, I have a basic understanding of it, which is more than enough to teach you!”

“What spell?”

“Foreseeing the future!”

Lu Yang gasped, he hadn’t expected to have the chance to learn this renowned spell, which couldn’t be considered a regular spell anymore, but an Immortal Technique.

Was the Fairy finally acting as a cheat code?

Taking a beating this time seemed to have been worthwhile.
