Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 193: Fusion!

Lu Yang spent several months in the first level of the scripture vault to develop his own techniques, discarding the “Complete Collection of Crosstalk” found there, among many other eye-opening techniques and methods.

For instance, a technique he found allowed the practitioner’s location to be controlled by someone else after cultivation. According to the records, this was written by a couple who were cultivators with the aim of monitoring each other’s movements.

Then, the husband found out that his wife frequently visited the brothel, and the wife discovered that her husband frequented the brothel as well.

Apart from this technique, Lu Yang also came across a technique for sleeping with open eyes, which proved very useful during classes. There was a technique that could make one extremely ugly, the purpose of which Lu Yang couldn’t figure out.

There was also a hibernation technique mimicking animals, where one could eat a meal and sleep for a quarter of a year; Lu Yang still couldn’t see the practical use of it. Later, he realized that this was how the Senior Sisters and Senior Brothers cheated contribution points.

Submitting to the mission hall techniques that the sect did not have backups for could earn contribution points. Eldest Senior Sister once monopolized this task to the extent that the mission hall had to create a special column just for her, so she didn’t have to submit techniques over and over again. She simply had to place the written techniques in the scripture vault, and she could use the contribution points as she pleased.

The other Senior Sisters and Senior Brothers, lacking the capabilities of Eldest Senior Sister but still desiring contribution points, resulted in the scripture vault being filled with many techniques that seemed impressive but were actually useless.

Lu Yang suspected that if he were to write such techniques, he might be hung up and beaten by Eldest Senior Sister. Oh, probably there wouldn’t even need to be an intervention by Eldest Senior Sister herself; the puppet might just do it.

“The Six Harmonies Eight Desolate Immortal Technique?” Everlasting Fairy, upon hearing this name concocted by Lu Yang, seemed to recall something.

“Nonuple Immortal?” Lu Yang repeated, knowing that Everlasting Fairy rarely mentioned Nonuple Immortal.

He learned from Everlasting Fairy that Nonuple Immortal had an Immortal Physique, the first among the ancient immortals to achieve immortality.

“What’s the name of his technique?” Lu Yang asked curiously.

Eldest Senior Sister also showed rare interest, putting down her book to listen to Everlasting Fairy’s response.

“Nonuple Immortal’s techniques are also self-written; he named his technique ‘Chaos One Qi, Two Instruments, Four Images, Six Harmonies, Eight Desolations, Nine Lands, Ten Heavens, Solely Revered Immortal Technique.’”

“I usually just call his techniques ‘Numerical Immortal Techniques.’ Sometimes people call them ‘Four Six Immortal Technique,’ ‘Eighty Immortal Technique,’ or whatever rolls off the tongue. Anyway, Nonuple Immortal himself can’t even fully pronounce his own technique’s name.”

Lu Yang: “…”

Does Nonuple Immortal have some obsession with numbers?

Eldest Senior Sister was somewhat speechless, initially hoping to guess the opponent’s strengths and weaknesses from the name of the technique.

It seemed she was overly optimistic.

As Lu Yang listened to ancient oddities in the spiritual space, he, along with Meng Jingzhou and Barbarian Bone, continued their spree of killing. Just then, they heard Yan Fei shouting.

“Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, Barbarian Bone are together!”

Yan Fei did this deliberately; the pressure from the trio was too much, even for his strength. He couldn’t defeat these three strong and cunning bastards alone.

He needed to gather everyone’s strength to take these three down. Only then would he have a chance to win the championship!

“Exposed so early?” Meng Jingzhou thought they would have been revealed later, as he hadn’t had enough fun yet.

The trio spread their palms to check their tally numbers; even Barbarian Bone, who had the least, had three hundred fifty, while Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, needless to say, were utterly demonic, killing like hemp.

“What do we do, fight or run?” Barbarian Bone asked.

“Run, of course. With our achievements, the top three positions should be ours. We just need to wait it out quietly until the end,” Meng Jingzhou said, showing none of the honor typically associated with the Meng family lineage, uttering the word “run” with no burden on his conscience.

They were all used to being mischievous as children, trained by their father like chasing ducks.

“They’re here!” someone left their cave and saw the three gathered together. Indeed, they were a team!

They had been pretending since the start of the competition. If not for Yan Fei’s suspicions, no one would have discovered them.

It was a disgrace. As demonic cultivators, they were used to deceiving others, but when had it become their turn to be deceived so thoroughly?

Not killing these three to vent their anger would hinder their cultivation progress!

“Let’s run~” Meng Jingzhou cheerfully called out, leading the escape, with Lu Yang and Barbarian Bone following. “Catch them!”

“They’re here!” “Kill them!”

Demon cultivators rarely coordinate in combat, let alone mobilize a large group of Foundation Building cultivators like this. It was unprecedented.

They united, determined to capture these three!

The higher-ups of the Undying Sect were amazed by this scene, acknowledging even they lacked such influence.

The sect leader nodded secretly, thinking these three were naturally suited to infiltrate the Dao Seeking Sect as spies. He felt regretful that his two incompetent deputy sect leaders allowed such crucial pieces to leave the Dao Seeking Sect.

“If we really get caught, you’ll be the bait,” Lu Yang told Meng Jingzhou. “Why me? You came up with this plan, you go!”

“I came up with the plan, but you added the details. You’re more important, you go!” “The idea is more important than the details, you go.”

The two courteously insisted the other act as bait, with Barbarian Bone unable to get a word in. He was just an actor.

“I’ve caught up to them!” someone skilled in tracking nearly grabbed Lu Yang’s clothes.

Just then, an invisible attack struck this person, sending him flying with a deep indent in his chest.

Before closing his eyes, he saw nothing at his previous spot except a drifting talisman. “What is this?”

The talisman drifted as if sentient, knocking away anyone approaching the trio. Finally, someone saw what the talisman was.

“It’s an invisibility talisman! These three have an accomplice!”

This invisibility talisman, drawn by Lu Yang, was so effective that even the most sensitive among them couldn’t detect its bearer.

The person who shouted then realized something was amiss. Whose invisibility talisman only hides the person but leaves the talisman visible? Lu Yang yelled at the talisman: “Yan Fei, hurry up and kill them!”

“Yan Fei is with them too?!” The crowd was shocked. Was Yan Fei’s discovery of their plot just a ruse, part of the trap?

Yan Fei, watching from a distance with frustration, was eighty zhang away, not the one with the invisibility talisman.

“I knew it, the one with the invisibility talisman is your clone!” Yan Fei recalled that Lu Yang had a wooden clone. Someone quick-witted removed the talisman, revealing the person behind it.

Bald Lu Yang, a Bodhi tree clone!

Lu Yang’s invisibility talisman could only hide the body, not the clothes, while the wooden clone used leaves for cover, which was part of the clone.

In other words, the wooden clone was naked.

Perfect for Lu Yang’s invisibility talisman!

The Bodhi tree clone, dressed in leaves like a wild man, Lu Yang controlled the clone to explode, releasing poison. Yan Fei anticipated this and summoned a north wind to disperse the poison.

“Kill!”

Lu Yang and the others were surrounded, countless hidden weapons and arms thrown at them, aiming to turn them into porcupines, while others attacked directly, attempting to kill them.

The attack was relentless and unstoppable!

Lu Yang sighed, “At this point, we can only fuse”

The three exchanged glances, resolving to fuse in battle!

“Fusion?” Yan Fei, unsure of what Fusion entailed, had a bad feeling. “Don’t be careless, they’re going to fuse!” Yan Fei shouted, alerting everyone.

Even the Undying Sect’s higher-ups were confused; they had never heard of cultivators being able to fuse?

Barbarian Bone shouted, muscles bulging, grabbing Meng Jingzhou’s and Lu Yang’s ankles. Meng Jingzhou activated his technique, his body glowing with a faint golden light, becoming incredibly hard.

Lu Yang clasped his hands above his head, sword energy enveloping his body. The three person fusion!

Yan Fei: “·····?”
