Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 156: The Cautious Barbarian Bone

When both the righteous and demonic paths agree on a matter, any previous obstacles become the driving force for the present.

The actual controllers and event organizers of the Dao Seeking Sect have already agreed to Tang Yunsheng’s proposal.

It was a foolproof plan.

“How should we proceed? Contact the other three demonic sects, bring out our trump card immortal treasures, stage a rebellion, overthrow the Dao Seeking Sect’s base, capture the eight elders, take control of the entire Dao Seeking Sect, and then push across the four major immortal gates and The Great Xia Dynasty, unify the Central Continent, then turn on the other three demonic sects, unite the four major demonic sects into one, establish the Immortal Sect, take advantage in the great era struggle, become immortals and ancestors, living freely and at ease?” Lu Yang enthusiastically suggested.

As the Sect Leader of the Undying Sect, Lu Yang needed to have a broad vision, carefully plan, and strategize for the future of the Undying Sect.

“Hey, you’re just our sect’s helmsman, right?” Everlasting Fairy protested in the spiritual space.

“That’s not how you should put it. Immortal, think about it, if you were to choose between me and the Undying Sect Sect Leader, who would you choose as the sect leader?”

“I’d choose you.” Everlasting Fairy didn’t hesitate, of course, she would choose someone she knew.

“See, that settles it. As the source of faith, you’ve recognized me as the sect leader, which means I’m the legitimate sect leader, and the current one is an imposter.”

Everlasting Fairy nodded, feeling Lu Yang made a lot of sense: “Makes sense, then I hereby appoint you as the Sect Leader of the Undying Sect!”

Tang Yunsheng was startled by Lu Yang’s plan, this kid really dared to dream big: “No, no, no, it’s not that exaggerated. Our Undying Sect hasn’t planned that far yet, and this operation involves only our Undying Sect.”

Lu Yang appeared very disappointed; the Undying Sect lacked ambition.

“So, what are we planning to do in the Dao Seeking Sect?” Meng Jingzhou asked.

After pondering for a moment, Tang Yunsheng replied: “We still don’t know the exact process of how the Dao Seeking Sect will host the Five Elements Sect, but I can roughly guess what the steps will be. For example, the first step is definitely a welcoming ceremony, which often includes speeches by the leaders of both sides, performances, dining, drinking, etc…”

Everlasting Fairy hurriedly took notes; she was worried about how to plan the hosting, and now someone had delivered the plan to her.

Good follower, I appoint you as the vice sect leader.

Vice Sect Leader Tang Yunsheng continued: “Then there will be competitions, where both sides send their elite disciples to compete, setting the competition rules, scope, and prizes.”

“The closing ceremony is our opportunity. After experiencing the welcoming ceremony and the elite disciple competition, people will feel very tired, unconsciously lowering their vigilance and defense. That’s when those of us hiding in the shadows make our move, tricking the Dao Seeking Sect, letting the righteous path know the might of our Undying Sect, glorifying the power of Everlasting Celestial!”

Lu Yang was shocked: “As far as I know, the eight elders of the Dao Seeking Sect are either in the late Unity stage or at the peak of Unity, with few rivals at their level, not to mention the powers of the Five Elements Sect. Facing such opponents, can we still succeed in a surprise attack, is the Sect Leader going to take action?!”

Tang Yunsheng shook his head: “The Sect Leader, overseeing the whole situation, will not make a move. This plan’s organizers and executors are two vice sect leaders and five high-ranking officials, who will use the immortal treasure, the Yellow Millet Pillow, to pull everyone into a dream. At that time, we control the dream, able to mold them at will!” (TL Note it might be a reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%BC_Dongbin#Yellow_Millet_Dream)

The Undying Sect has one Sect Leader and three Vice Sect Leaders.

In fact, Tang Yunsheng heard that the Sect Leader was seriously injured and recuperating, unable to attend to other matters, and unaware of the plan to attack the Dao Seeking Sect. However, there was no need to discuss such morale-dampening matters with these three.

With this in mind, Tang Yunsheng smirked coldly. In the dream realm, whether the Dao Seeking Sect and the Five Elements Sect live or die would entirely depend on their mood!

Even if they couldn’t injure the elders or highly skilled disciples, slaughtering a batch of potential elite disciples would be more than enough!

“The Yellow Millet Pillow? Isn’t that the pillow I use for sleeping?” Everlasting Fairy was surprised; these people really were her followers, still possessing her relics.

Lu Yang was more astonished than Everlasting Fairy: “Immortals need to sleep?”

Everlasting Fairy displeasedly retorted: “Why can’t immortals sleep? Anyway, I’ve reached the peak of my cultivation. Meditating doesn’t accumulate any more power, so why can’t I enjoy myself?”

Lu Yang actually found Everlasting Fairy’s argument quite reasonable.

Meng Jingzhou then asked, “How will the vice sect leader and other high-ranking members enter the Dao Seeking Sect?”

Tang Yunsheng had already thought of a way: “You just give a heads up to the manager, saying that the barbecue business will be too busy during the exchange between the two sects, and you need to find some outsiders to help temporarily. I’ve looked into it; this kind of thing happens often during such events, and they generally agree.”

“The vice sect leader and the others will carry a talisman that can temporarily hide their cultivation levels, enough to deceive the Dao Seeking Sect!”

The three nodded; the Undying Sect had really thought of everything. At that moment, Barbarian Bone raised a very meticulous question: “But can the vice sect leader and the others actually grill skewers?”

Tang Yunsheng was taken aback, having not considered this problem, but he couldn’t show uncertainty in front of these three, so he nodded confidently, saying:

“You’ve thought this through well. However, the vice sect leader and the others are capable of great feats; grilling skewers, frying dishes, washing dishes, and cleaning up are all within their capabilities. Your concern is unnecessary.”

The four then agreed on some details regarding the various possibilities during the exchange meeting. Everlasting Fairy listened intently, roughly understanding how to organize the event.

After seeing Lu Yang and the others off, Tang Yunsheng turned and left, running for a couple of hours to reach a secret base.

“Little Tang, you’re back. How did the briefing go?” a young man asked with a smile. He seemed young but was old enough to be Tang Yunsheng’s ancestor.

“Replying to Vice Sect Leader Liu, I’ve finished briefing them. It seems those three are doing well in the Dao Seeking Sect, obtaining many useful pieces of information. However, Barbarian Bone noticed a detail that was overlooked.”

“What?” Vice Sect Leader Liu frowned; they had worked through the plan all night, and it should have been foolproof.

Tang Yunsheng cautiously spoke up, observing the other’s reaction: “You and others apparently don’t know how to grill skewers.”

Vice Sect Leader Liu exploded with anger, emitting a terrifying aura: “Nonsense, what kind of status do we have, to actually grill skewers ourselves?!”

Tang Yunsheng advised: “But think about it, our base in the Dao Seeking Sect is a barbecue restaurant, and we’re going in under the guise of helpers. If we can’t grill skewers, it might give us away!”

Vice Sect Leader Liu calmed down, seeing some sense in Tang Yunsheng’s words, and gruffly said: “Go buy some meat, bamboo skewers, charcoal, and other barbecue supplies, and find a master skewer griller for us to learn from.”

“Understood.”

After Tang Yunsheng left, Vice Sect Leader Liu’s lips curled into a cruel sneer: “I’ve heard that the barbecue restaurant those three opened in Yanjiang County is very popular. Heh, I didn’t want to learn, but if I really put my mind to it, how hard can barbecuing be?”
