Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 327: Personal Disciple of Bean Celestial

“You have to admit, this taste is really something!” Petrified Bone exclaimed. He savored the food, detecting a flavor that seemed to have been grilled by true fire.

Could it really have been grilled with true fire?

It was the first time Petrified Bone had seen a barbecue restaurant use true fire for grilling, a truly grand gesture.

Thinking about how he had to visit the barbecue restaurant three times before finally getting in made Petrified Bone furious. After finishing three pounds of lamb skewers, he wiped his mouth and said, “Give me ten skewers of grilled kidneys!”

The surrounding diners looked at Petrified Bone in astonishment. The regular skewers already had a strengthening effect, and here he was ordering ten more potent grilled kidneys. How was this different from taking an aphrodisiac?

But for someone like Petrified Bone, a late-stage Unity cultivator, this level of potency was negligible.

Huo Huashen and Zhou Shan were eating so much that their mouths were greasy. They felt it was good to follow Petrified Bone; not only did they not have to spend money when going out, but they also got to enjoy all kinds of delicious food.

However, after they had their fill, they noticed a problem.

There was still some time before the restaurant closed. The Heavenly Court Sect members were busy playing waiters and had no time to deal with them. If they left, it would be obvious they weren’t there just to eat.

If they stayed, sitting around doing nothing wasn’t an option either.

“Hey, do you think those three are sitting there because they can’t pay the bill?” Meng Jingzhou asked quietly.

It was his first time encountering someone trying to dine and dash.

Li Haoran replied through a sound transmission: “I don’t recognize the two on the side, but the one in the middle who ate the most is Petrified Bone. He used to be the Vice Sect Leader. After Qin Haoran was gone, I don’t know if he got promoted.”

Meng Jingzhou was delighted: “The Nine Nether Sect has finally sent someone?”

Qin Yanyan didn’t dare to speak. These three seemed to have come last night and were driven away by her.

In the backyard, two automatic barbecue grills were running at full capacity. Designed by the Fifth Elder, they not only automated the skewering process but also greatly improved barbecue efficiency.

The grills resembled bookshelves with four layers, each filled with slowly rotating skewers being grilled by true fire, sizzling with oil.

After painstaking research, the Fifth Elder had finally combined the Three Flavours True Fire with Pure Yang True Fire to create a fire seed used for grilling.

The past few days’ customer flow had proven the Fifth Elder’s research successful.

“Fifth Elder, people from the Nine Nether Sect are here,” Lu Yang said to the Fifth Elder, who was squatting on the ground, studying how to improve the automatic barbecue grill.

“Got it.”

When the barbecue restaurant closed and the last customer left, the restaurant revealed its true identity—a Heavenly Court Sect stronghold.

At one table, two forces sat distinctly apart: the Nine Nether Sect, represented by Petrified Bone, and the Heavenly Court Sect, represented by Lu Yang.

“It’s really not easy to meet you Heavenly Court Sect people,” Petrified Bone said with a cold smile, dissatisfied with the treatment he had received the previous night and this morning.

Lu Yang didn’t understand why the other party was so resentful and didn’t respond to the complaint. “I presume this is the renowned Unity Stage cultivator of the Nine Nether Sect, Petrified Bone.”

A man stepped out from behind Lu Yang, making Petrified Bone, who had been somewhat relaxed, immediately tense up.

He felt a strong threat from the man.

In a one-on-one fight, he might not be able to defeat this person!

Lu Yang smiled and said, “Let me introduce, our Heavenly Court Sect has nine protectors. This is the Fifth Protector, Heavenly King of Many Treasures. In ancient times, he was renowned. Even our master praised his unique craftsmanship and said he had the potential to forge celestial artifacts. I wonder if Sect Leader Bone has heard of him?”

Whether the other party was the Sect Leader or Vice Sect Leader, addressing him as Sect Leader was always correct.

Fifth Elder bowed: “Young Sect Leader, that was just a jest from the Celestial, not to be taken seriously.”

Petrified Bone looked at Zhou Shan, who subtly shook his head, indicating that he hadn’t heard of it either. Petrified Bone clasped his hands: “Greetings, Daoist Friend Many Treasures. Unfortunately, matters from ancient times are too distant for us, and we’ve forgotten much, so I haven’t heard of your esteemed name.”

“May I ask why Daoist Friend Many Treasures addresses him as Young Sect Leader?”

“Bone Daoist Friend might not know, but Lu Yiyang is the personal disciple of Bean Celestial, and the only disciple at that. He is the undisputed next Head of the Heavenly Court Sect.”

Petrified Bone was taken aback. A personal disciple of Bean Celestial? Bean Celestial was the first to achieve immortality in ancient times. Does this mean that Lu Yang is a disciple of an immortal?

In terms of status, he might be even higher than Petrified Bone, a Unity cultivator!

In the spiritual realm, Everlasting Fairy was joyfully jumping around: “Lu Yang, I always knew you truly regarded me as your master!”

Lu Yang: “…”

In reality, Lu Yang sighed when he heard that Petrified Bone had never heard of Heavenly King of Many Treasures’s name: “Indeed, ancient times are too far removed from the present. Even when we first awakened, we found the world had changed drastically. The original stars had vanished, refined into boundless continents, and all familiar people and things were gone.”

Lu Yang’s gaze grew deep, showing a hint of loneliness as if recalling ancient times.

Petrified Bone took the opportunity to ask: “Do you know who refined the stars?”

Lu Yang shook his head: “This happened after our Heavenly Court Sect fell into slumber. We do not know the reason. Our sect is currently searching for Ying Tian Immortal and others to inquire about the events of these past thirty thousand years. Does the Nine Nether Sect have any clues about immortals?”

Petrified Bone had no idea where Ying Tian Immortal and the others were, so he could only regretfully say he didn’t know.

He gave Zhou Shan a look, signaling him to ask something.

Zhou Shan thought for a moment, clasped his hands, and asked: “My name is Zhou Shan. While researching ancient history, I encountered some confusion. I wonder if my Daoist Friends could enlighten me?”

“Of course, if there’s anything we know we will speak about it.”

“I heard that in ancient times, there was a great cultivator who mastered the divine ability ‘Word Becomes Reality,’ becoming invincible in the same realm. But in the end, he disappeared without a trace. Do you know his whereabouts?”

Lu Yang smiled slightly: “I happen to have heard of that senior’s deeds. He was a formidable rival on my master’s path to immortality. In the end, he couldn’t match my master and perished.”

Lu Yang had heard this story from Everlasting Fairy. Everlasting Fairy had ambushed the opponent, who then shouted, “It hurts me to death,” activating ‘Word Becomes Reality’ and killing himself with his own words.

But saying it this way might not convince the other party.

“Please elaborate.”

“That senior had mastered the great divine ability ‘Word Becomes Reality.’ His opponents’ life and death were decided in an instant. He was undefeated in a hundred battles until he met my master.”

“That day, my master encountered the senior who had learned ‘Word Becomes Reality.’ Knowing that they were both strong adversaries, holding back would mean self-destruction. So they engaged in a fierce battle. Daoist principles surged, spiritual energy roared, and the universe fell silent. My master’s movements were unparalleled, elusive, and couldn’t be captured. Seeing that he couldn’t defeat my master, the senior used ‘Word Becomes Reality’ and shouted ‘…die…’. Unexpectedly, ‘Word Becomes Reality’ was completely ineffective against my master. Instead, the senior was countered by ‘Word Becomes Reality,’ leading to his demise.”

Petrified Bone was greatly shocked. At that time, Bean Celestial hadn’t even achieved immortality and was already immune to the invincible ‘Word Becomes Reality’?

How powerful was that?

He had been closely observing Lu Yang’s pupils and heartbeat, and all signs indicated that the other party was telling the truth!
