Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 447: The war comes to an end

Wu Youdao and the other two finally understood that the person before them was an unbeatable opponent. Not only could they not defeat her, but they couldn't even scratch her from the start of the battle until now.

The Supreme Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Court Sect was terrifying beyond measure.

"Run!"

The three had recognized the reality. Since they couldn't win, they had to escape and bide their time for a comeback!

Their physical speed was far inferior to their soul speed. Being seasoned fighters, they made the right choice immediately—soul separation and fleeing in different directions!

"Fortunately, she's just a thought of an immortal and can't chase all three of us at once. Moreover, the power of the nation's fate is immobile. If she wants to chase us, she must abandon the power of the nation's fate. But if she abandons it, her power will diminish, and even if she catches up, she won't be able to defeat us!"

The three of them felt lucky as they transformed into streaks of light and fled.

...

Immortal Fairy watched the three leave and then withdrew her gaze.

Seeing this, he quickly used the Wild State Seal to reclaim the power of the nation's fate.

Qiu Jin'an turned and cupped his fists, "Thank you, Dao friend, for your assistance earlier. I haven't had the chance to ask for your name?"

There was no one beside Qiu Jin'an; the man in the white paper hat had already fled.

"What a good escape technique. Did he leave, or did he escape?" Qiu Jin'an squinted and muttered to himself. The technique used by the man in the white paper hat during the battle made him somewhat suspicious.

However, since the man had helped them, it wouldn't be appropriate to turn hostile on the spot.

Elder Gai and others also returned to the Corpse Driving Sect. Seeing the body of their sect master, they wailed in grief, tears streaming down like rain.

"Sect Master, you died so tragically!"

"We will definitely avenge you!"

The disciples' eyes were red, and they cried in unison, filling the entire Corpse Driving Sect with a sorrowful atmosphere.

Lu Yang and the others also rushed to the Corpse Driving Sect. Seeing the three Tribulation Crossing stage corpses on the ground and the people of the Corpse Driving Sect crying uncontrollably, they clenched their fists, veins bulging.

As the Great Elder, Elder Gai had to take on the responsibilities of the sect master in his absence. He turned to comfort the grieving crowd, "Old Lu was an optimistic and cheerful person in life. If his spirit is watching, he wouldn't want to see you like this. Smile, as a final farewell to him."

"Old Lu, rest assured, we will definitely carry on your legacy and strengthen the Corpse Driving Sect!"

Elder Gai chuckled softly, mourning Lu Baqian.

"You bastard, Old Gai, I'm dead, and you still want them to laugh!"

Sect Master Lu sat up straight, glaring angrily at Elder Gai.

This sudden change caught everyone off guard. Governor Lu was on alert, thinking Sect Master Lu had come back to life, and once again used the power of the nation's fate.

"Dead my ass, don't think I don't know you're still alive!" Elder Gai laughed and cursed.

"What on earth is going on?" Governor Lu was confused, seeing that Elder Gai didn't seem surprised by Sect Master Lu's revival.

Sect Master Lu explained, "This must be the new Governor, right? This is our first official meeting. I am Lu Baqian, the sect master of the Corpse Driving Sect."

Governor Lu politely responded, still not understanding what was going on.

"Governor Lu might not know, but our Corpse Driving Sect and the Seek Tao Sect have always had a good relationship. Although there is the exception of Bu Yu Taoist, overall, our two sects get along well."

"The Corpse Driving Sect has a tradition to show friendly relations. The high-ranking members of the Corpse Driving Sect make two soul lamps, one kept in the Corpse Driving Sect and one placed in the Seek Tao Sect, to prevent situations like today."

Qiu Jin'an nodded secretly. He had heard of this, so he never suspected any issues with the high-ranking members of the Corpse Driving Sect.

Friendly sects often had such practices. The Five Elements Sect also kept soul lamps of high-ranking members from other sects.

Lu Baqian continued, "But we didn't expect these ancient cultivators to have methods we don't understand. They could possess my body without destroying my soul."

"After Venerable Wuji possessed me, he was worried that the Seek Tao Sect would notice, so he didn't dare to destroy my soul. He just completely separated my soul from my body and sealed my soul. That's how I survived."

"At the same time, he couldn't access my memories. Frequent interactions with Elder Gai and others would expose him, so after possessing me, he claimed to be in seclusion and only appeared once when making the Soul Dispersing Talisman."

Sect Master Lu shivered at the thought. If it weren't for Venerable Wuji's fear of the Seek Tao Sect, he would have truly died.

"So, are you now a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator?" Governor Lu recalled another matter.

"A blessing in disguise, I suppose. Not entirely. My body is at the Tribulation Crossing stage, but it was Venerable Wuji who crossed the tribulation. My soul is still at its original level. Now, I'm half a Tribulation Crossing stage. Only when my soul's level improves will I be a complete Tribulation Crossing stage."

"But anyway, I'm the first among my peers to reach the Tribulation Crossing stage, right?" Sect Master Lu looked at Qiu Jin'an, realizing his current level was the highest among his peers.

"Have you no shame?" Qiu Jin'an looked at Sect Master Lu with disdain. No wonder he could get along with the Seek Tao Sect.

"Shame or not, just admit that I've gone through life and death, narrowly surviving to become a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator." Sect Master Lu was righteous, without a hint of embarrassment.

Qiu Jin'an was speechless; Lu Baqian's words seemed to make sense.

As Lu Yang watched the argument between the Body Fusion and Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators with great interest, Immortal Fairy returned to the mental space.

"Phew, I'm exhausted. So, how was it? Wasn't I cool just now?" Immortal Fairy gave a thumbs up, her mouth curling into a bright smile.

"Very cool, Fairy, you're reliable... But I want to ask, what's the deal with these three people behind you?" Lu Yang's gaze shifted to the three soul bodies behind Immortal Fairy.

There stood three familiar soul forms: Wu Youdao, Cang Lei Venerable, and Venerable Wuji.

The three Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators looked ashen. They never expected that the one controlling the power of the nation's fate was not just a thought of an immortal but a complete immortal soul.

In front of an immortal soul, they had no chance of escape!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

What happened to just being a thought?

"These three are spoils of war. As a guest elder of the Seek Tao Sect, it's only fair for me to catch a few people for the sect and exchange them for contribution points, right?" Immortal Fairy counted on her fingers, her little abacus clinking.

Last time, she caught an ancient Body Fusion stage cultivator and exchanged it for a three-day sect master experience voucher. How many good things could she get for catching three Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators this time?

Lu Yang's face darkened, recalling some unpleasant memories.

The three Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators were shocked by their conversation. Such a powerful immortal was just a guest elder of the Seek Tao Sect. How deep was the water in the Seek Tao Sect?

The national teacher had underestimated the strength of the Seek Tao Sect!

And why was this Supreme Heavenly Venerable's behavior now completely different from during the battle?

Lu Yang was also puzzled and asked the question that the three Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators wanted to ask.

Immortal Fairy revealed another ancient secret.

"Heavenly Immortal Ying said that maintaining a high profile is a necessary skill for immortals."
