Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Unfortunately, their nature didn’t allow it; they were here in the demonic sect as undercover agents, among many genuine demonic cultivators.

“No wonder I’ve never heard of anyone successfully infiltrating the Immortal Sect as an undercover agent; there’s actually such a test,” Meng Jingzhou also found it exceptionally challenging.

“What’s the worst thing you guys want to do?” Lu Yang asked.

It took a while for Meng Jingzhou to uncertainly respond, “Does going to a brothel count?”

He had been forbidden by his family from places like brothels since he was young. The uncles and brothers who had been to brothels said it was a terrifying place, not suitable for kids.

Seeing the miserable state of his uncles and brothers kneeling and scrubbing the washboard after returning from brothels, Meng Jingzhou believed brothels indeed were terrifying places.

Now, as a single… oh no, with a Pure Yang Spirit Root, he was even less able to go.

For Meng Jingzhou, rebelling by going to a brothel was the worst thing he could think of.

Barbarian Bone couldn’t even begin to think of anything.

“Forget it, we still have a day’s time, let’s go relax at the brothel,” Lu Yang suggested, already having a plan in mind. A joke, could these rules really restrain him?

It was still early; there was no need to act now. After all, opportunities like this were rare; it might as well fulfill Meng Jingzhou’s wish first.

Meng Jingzhou’s eyes lit up, right, this isn’t their real bodies, a visit wouldn’t hurt.

“Let’s go, let’s go,” Meng Jingzhou urged the two to join him.

He would feel uneasy going to such places alone.

Unable to persuade Meng Jingzhou otherwise, they had no choice but to accompany him.

The brothel was in a conspicuous location, and the three easily found it.

Dressed flamboyantly, the sisters at the entrance were using handkerchiefs to attract customers, their slight gestures pulling in the souls of passersby.

At the brothel’s entrance, Barbarian Bone got cold feet and began retreating, “I am a scholar; this is not a place for scholars.”

“The sage said that the beauty of a woman is a skeleton, and the city’s downfall turns to white bones. I cannot make a mistake.”

Despite much persuasion, they couldn’t change his mind and had to give up.

Lu Yang, being a true friend, said, “Since you’re unwilling to go to the brothel, I’ll go in your place.”

Barbarian Bone sighed in relief, thinking Lu Yang was reliable.

Then, he watched in disbelief as Lu Yang performed a series of Shape-Imitating Fist moves, transforming into his own likeness.

Barbarian Bone: “!!!”

Lu Yang patted the stunned Barbarian Bone, signaling him to relax, “I’m going.”

Barbarian Bone quickly grabbed his duplicate, “You can’t go! Even if you do, you can’t transform into me!”

“I’m doing this out of kindness for you, how unfortunate if you can’t go.” Lu Yang’s sincerity was palpable.

Barbarian Bone firmly disagreed.

“Don’t be shy,” Lu Yang persuaded.

In reality, Lu Yang was also nervous; he had never been to such places before. What if something went wrong? He couldn’t let Meng Jingzhou ridicule him for a lifetime. Naturally, Lu Yang thought of transforming into Barbarian Bone’s appearance; if there was any embarrassment, it wouldn’t be his own.

He certainly couldn’t reveal this thought.

As the three were arguing, they heard a loud bang from the brothel, followed by women’s screams and men’s raucous laughter.

The three turned sharply to see over a dozen cultivators wreaking havoc in the brothel, with abducted respectable women in their arms.

These cultivators didn’t bother to conceal their cultivation levels, all at the Foundation Establishment stage, and even two or three of them had an aura not inferior to the previously encountered tiger demon!

These individuals were all cultivators who had come to participate in the trial.

“Scoundrels!” A righteous fury rose from the depths of their hearts, compelling them to intervene and stop these people.

Meng Jingzhou and Barbarian Bone were about to act but were restrained by Lu Yang.

“Let’s not be hasty. There are only three of us; we can’t possibly defeat them.”

“What do we do then?” Meng Jingzhou asked urgently.

Lu Yang waved his hand, “I have a way to temporarily boost my strength. Just give me a moment.”

Meng Jingzhou and Barbarian Bone were curious. They didn’t have any strength-enhancing pills like the Ten Bull’s Strength Pill on them. Could it be that Lu Yang had learned some secret technique to temporarily increase his cultivation level?

Lu Yang took a deep breath, and his movements softened. His gaze shifted from lively to cold, expressionless, and aloof.

Meng Jingzhou squinted, then suddenly widened his eyes in realization.

That motion was strikingly similar to their Senior Sister Yun Zhi!

Lu Yang was practicing the Lu Family’s Shape-Imitating Fist, transforming into the image of Senior Sister Yun Zhi.

He had joked before that the Lu Family’s Shape-Imitating Fist had nine levels, and upon reaching the ninth level, one could instantaneously transform into a Transcending Tribulation stage powerhouse.

He made such a claim because he noticed when he transformed into Barbarian Bone, his physical strength was somewhat stronger than his actual self.

The Lu Family’s Shape-Imitating Fist could acquire a portion of the transformed person’s power!

There were definitely limits to this power; it couldn’t increase indefinitely, but it was still incredibly powerful.

Lu Yang wanted to transform into Senior Sister Yun Zhi to see how much strength he could gain and whether it would be enough to defeat these people.

“Sorry, Senior Sister.”

A breathtakingly beautiful woman appeared, her presence radiant, and her demeanor carrying an eternal frost that seemed to have not melted for thousands of years.

Meng Jingzhou and Barbarian Bone, upon seeing this beautiful woman, instinctively held their breath, their legs trembling.

Lu Yang had successfully transformed into Senior Sister Yun Zhi!

Lu Yang felt a powerful force descending from the heavens, surging into his body!

…

At the Heaven’s Gate Peak of the Dao Seeking Sect, Yun Zhi sat cross-legged, her eyes open, gazing into the sky as if she could see the endless stars beyond.

Her presence was minimized to the extreme, making her seem like a mere mortal to any observer.

But mortals do not float at the peak of mountains, nor do their eyes reflect the brilliant galaxy.

“Hm? Who borrowed my power?” Yun Zhi withdrew her gaze, sensing a trace of her power being siphoned away, flying off into the distant void.

“It’s time to see who has such gall!”

Yun Zhi had never encountered such a daring thief before.

She shattered her mortal facade, releasing her aura like a sharp spear, piercing the clouds, showcasing the demeanor of the Dao Seeking Sect’s Senior Sister.

Yun Zhi’s soul detached, transforming into a sharp beam of light, chasing after the sliver of power that had separated from her body.

…

“Cough!” Lu Yang couldn’t bear even a fraction of Senior Sister’s strength and reverted to his original form.

Meng Jingzhou and Barbarian Bone also breathed a sigh of relief; Lu Yang, in the guise of Senior Sister, was too oppressive.

Crack—

A crisp sound emanated from above.

Whether it was the demonic cultivators engaged in murder and arson or the three heroes poised for a righteous act, everyone halted their actions, staring dumbfounded at the sky.

The seemingly boundless space unexpectedly developed a crack, as if struck by an unknown force.

Crack, crack, crack…

The crack widened, turning into a gaping hole as if the heavens had opened up.

A dazzling figure appeared at the breach, her brow furrowed.

“This aura… is it from the demonic path?”
