Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 192: The 6 Harmonies 8 Desolate Immortal Technique

Lu Yang’s fearsome reputation was so great that not only did it overshadow the rookies who intentionally hid their strength to shine in this competition, but he even surpassed the fame of the sect leader’s successor, Yan Fei.

He disguised himself as a Ginseng Fruit, deceiving everyone. Later, wielding a demonic blade, he struck terror into the hearts of many, leaving no one sure just how many were marked by the numbers in his palm—certainly, it was a terrifying count.

Meng Jingzhou, truly skilled, was not intimidated by Lu Yang’s fierce reputation.

“Heh, I’ve heard your demonic blade ensures death upon drawing blood, so it’s best if I remain unscathed.”

Lu Yang raised his eyebrows: “Big talk, state your name!”

“Meng Jingzhou!”

“So it’s you. I’ve long heard about your invincibility at the Foundation Building stage, mastering your physical cultivation to the extreme, earning the admiration of countless martial artists!”

Meng Jingzhou snorted coldly: “You’re not too shabby yourself, ‘Blood Sea Blade Demon’ Lu Yang, notorious enough to silence children, many say you’re even stronger than Yan Fei. I wonder if that’s true or not?”

“Let’s find out!”

The two most eye-catching seeded competitors clashed. Not only were the participants watching secretly, but even the upper echelons of the Undying Sect were keen to find out who was superior.

Was it the cunning and deceitful Lu Yang, or the upright and honorable Meng Jingzhou?

The sect leader and the deputy sect leader twitched at the corners of their eyes; had they not already known you were in league, I would have thought you didn’t know each other.

Such convincing performances.

Deputy Sect Leader Jin finally conceded that the sect leader had a discerning eye, remarking that it was no wonder one was said to be a born demon and the other a reincarnation of a demonic path sage.

To say these two were undercover agents of the righteous path, he wouldn’t believe it.

Oh, and there’s also Barbarian Bone.

Yan Fei, hiding in the bushes and watching the fight, was on high alert. Both were formidable enough to be considered his rivals, posing a greater threat than the dead Drunken Monk and ancient Guzawi.

Lu Yang wielded his sword with unstoppable force, while Meng Jingzhou’s body refinement reached perfection down to his teeth. As they fought, even those in the Golden Core stage could engage them.

The spectators were terrified, thinking these two were monsters.

Ultimately, Lu Yang proved the stronger, defeating Meng Jingzhou.

Knowing he was outmatched, Meng Jingzhou fled before sustaining injuries, causing the crowd to sigh; had Meng Jingzhou been injured, they could have pursued and finished him off together.

Having killed Guzawi and the Drunken Monk, and defeated Meng Jingzhou, Lu Yang’s reputation peaked, unmatched by anyone.

Once again, Lu Yang displayed his blade skills, killing countless opponents. Even Barbarian Bone, who knew not what fear was, chose to flee upon encountering Lu Yang rather than face him directly.

Just when everyone thought Lu Yang would emerge as the strongest in the competition, Meng Jingzhou made a comeback.

Meng Jingzhou looked vigorous, untroubled by his earlier defeat.

“Lu Yang, let’s fight again!”

Lu Yang scoffed: “A beaten foe, daring to speak of battle in my presence, die!”

With a swing of his demonic blade, he struck with tremendous force, intending to cleave Meng Jingzhou in two. The crowd gasped; this was a full-powered assault from the start!

This was exactly how Meng Jingzhou had lost before!

Just when everyone thought the fight was decided with one blow, Meng Jingzhou unexpectedly countered the attack.

Realizing Meng Jingzhou was different this time, Lu Yang put aside his arrogance and fought with all his might.

Meng Jingzhou’s combat strength had soared compared to before, matching Lu Yang blow for blow.

“Huff, huff, you’ve had a fortuitous encounter!” Lu Yang suddenly realized, the only explanation for Meng Jingzhou’s increased strength.

This battle greatly boosted Meng Jingzhou’s confidence: “To think that barely starting out, one could increase in strength so rapidly, worthy of being a Six Harmonies…”

Meng Jingzhou caught himself and immediately shut up.

Barbarian Bone, hearing Meng Jingzhou’s half-spoken words, fell into deep thought, muttering to himself: “Six Harmonies?”

Could it be the legendary “Six Harmonies Eight Desolate Immortal Technique”?!

Everyone hastily questioned Barbarian Bone about what this technique was, but he fled without answering.

“The Six Harmonies Eight Desolate Immortal Technique, could it be a legacy of the Everlasting Celestial?” the crowd murmured. The inclusion of the word “immortal” in the technique’s name inevitably sparked further speculation.

The battle between Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou ended in a draw, as both knew that continuing would not result in a victor. They tacitly parted ways.

After disappearing for an entire day, Meng Jingzhou returned stronger than ever.

He went directly to Lu Yang, who was cloaked.

To everyone’s shock, Meng Jingzhou’s power had soared again, and he defeated Lu Yang!

So fearsome was the Six Harmonies Eight Desolate Immortal Technique!

“Die!” Meng Jingzhou shouted, his palm piercing through Lu Yang’s chest.

Lu Yang coughed up blood continuously, his life force rapidly draining.

Though resilient in life, Lu Yang’s death was now certain and unavoidable.

“Ha, well done, Meng Jingzhou, you’ve truly seized the greatest opportunity!” Lu Yang’s expression turned fierce, perhaps reluctant to die in such a manner.

He pulled an old book from his chest, causing Meng Jingzhou’s pupils to shrink suddenly.

“How could the immortal technique be with you! You stole it during the fight!”

The crowd was in an uproar, Lu Yang had stolen the immortal technique during the fight—what sorcery was this, a legendary sleight of hand?

Instantly, everyone’s heart burned with desire; the immortal technique in the dying Lu Yang’s hands meant that anyone could potentially obtain it.

As he bled, Lu Yang laughed, “It’s a pity that I had the chance to steal the immortal technique but no opportunity to cultivate it.”

“If so, then I’ll make the immortal technique public, let’s see what advantage you have left, Meng Jingzhou!”

Lu Yang threw the immortal technique into the air, using his blood as ink, forming the full text of the immortal technique in the sky!

A grand opportunity!

Meng Jingzhou was furious, he rushed to scatter the blood characters, trying to prevent the spread of the immortal technique.

But it was too late; as Foundation Building cultivators, everyone present had photographic memories, able to recall everything after just one glance.

Lu Yang laughed heartily as his life faded.

Meng Jingzhou was furious but powerless.

The crowd dispersed, each seeking a safe place to cultivate the immortal technique.

“Why am I not getting stronger after cultivating?” some wondered. Wasn’t Meng Jingzhou immediately powerful?

“Did I cultivate it wrongly?”

In a dense forest, Lu Yang and two others gathered, closing their eyes to sense the positions of others.

This was not any immortal technique at all but a locating technique. As long as someone cultivated it, Lu Yang and the others could detect their positions.

What’s the biggest problem in a forest battle? Not knowing the enemy’s location. Now that all the contestants were hidden, it was the perfect opportunity to defeat them one by one!

The three of them moved out together, killing one after another, the numbers on their markings rapidly increasing.

Yan Fei, not in a rush to cultivate, felt something was amiss. He found Lu Yang’s body, lifted the hood, and to his surprise, it was the bald Lu Yang.

A Bodhi tree clone!

It was all fake!

He quickly deduced, “Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou are in cahoots!”

“There’s no such thing as the Six Harmonies Eight Desolate Immortal Technique, and they are all in it together!”

…

In the distance, the sect leader who witnessed everything had a peculiar expression.

Even this leader of the demonic path thought these three were too cunning.

…

Inside a spiritual space, Everlasting Fairy saw Eldest Senior Sister in contemplation, curious, “What are you thinking about?”

Yun Zhi sighed, “I wonder, can these three really not be killed by someone?”

Yun Zhi wasn’t worried about Lu Yang and the others winning the championship; she was concerned that they might be killed before achieving it.

Actually, I wanted to start the immortal technique with “To practice this technique, one must first be castrated,” but then I thought better of it.
