Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 140: Talking About Body Takeover in Front of Me, Huang Doudou?

<Buyi Town’s Rule 21: If you leave the town or kill the town mayor, you no longer need to abide by the rules of Buyi Town.>

When the apothecary owner explicated Rule 21 to Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, the two immediately arrived at the same idea.

If we can neither leave the town nor kill the town mayor, when these two conditions clash, which would win? Since we don’t know, let’s give it a try.

Regardless of whether the town mayor left the town or whether they killed him, both would work in their favor. If the town mayor left, Buyi Town would become their territory, and they could seek other means of escape, perhaps by starting with the private school teacher. Moreover, the two were convinced that the town mayor’s absence would have an impact on Buyi Town. That said, it would be best if they could kill the town mayor and directly overcome this ordeal. However, making the town mayor step into the passageway would be no easy task. They had no idea where the ancestral hall was or who the town mayor was.

But that was not a problem for them. As long as they stirred up chaos in Buyi Town, the town mayor would take action. The person who set the rules wouldn’t tolerate anyone breaking them, since this was tantamount to slapping them in the face directly and telling them that their rules were full of loopholes. As such, the two chose to exploit the rules to wreak havoc in Buyi Town.

Lu Yang first created a smokescreen by fabricating a function of the jade pendant and deliberately communicated with paper, giving off the impression that it was an idea he wanted to keep secret. However, since they were already aware that nothing could escape the town mayor’s eyes, how could Lu Yang possibly write their plan down?

The town mayor mocked the two for being too full of themselves, not realizing he too was conceited. Falling for Lu Yang’s trick, he focused all his attention on the jade pendants. After that, the two toyed with the yamen bailiffs several times as an affront to the town mayor, declaring to him that his men were no match for them. Since his subordinates couldn’t take care of them, the town mayor would definitely take matters into his own hands to get rid of them.

Thinking that everything would be resolved just by stealing the jade pendants, the town mayor waited for the two to walk into his trap in the ancestral hall, but he hadn’t expected that the two never intended to use the jade pendants in the first place—their goal was to make the town mayor appear in the ancestral hall.

As for how Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou discussed their plan? They needed no discussion for such a simple scheme.

After all, how could we consider ourselves branch leaders of a diabolic creed if we don’t have some crafty tricks up our sleeves?

Now, at the entrance of the ancestral hall, the town mayor was trapped within the bone-tormenting gales. As the “Undying Rule” and “Inevitable Death Rule” tussled with each other, his body was in a constant state of being mangled and regenerating, the unbearable pain making him wish he could take his own life there and then.

“What on earth is this thing?” Lu Yang had never seen a monster like the town mayor.

“It’s beastification!” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy stated in Lu Yang’s mind.

“Beastification?” Lu Yang ran through the cultivation knowledge stored in his mind but found no corresponding terminology. Seems like it’s a cultivation method from ancient times that has already been lost.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy continued, “This type of cultivation method was in trend for a while during ancient times. A human body could devour demons, allowing it to harness the advantages of both humans and demons. It may be very powerful, but it also has a major drawback—the user cannot become an immortal.

“Becoming an immortal requires a pure body, so such a human and demon hybrid body can’t form a Dao Fruit. As time passed, people stopped practicing it.”

Lu Yang wondered, “Could the other party also be from the ancient era?”

“Very unlikely. Those from ancient times are cognizant of the drawbacks of this cultivation method. It’s more probable that someone from later eras obtained this cultivation method but only learned its benefits and not its flaws.

“‘The more ancient and lost in time something is, the better it is.’ Such a mindset is very normal. However, ancient things may not necessarily be powerful, and there must be reasons why something has been lost in the mists of time; perhaps nobody could cultivate it or nobody was willing to cultivate it. We need to adopt an objective view.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy shrugged.

Something like this was very common in ancient times. For instance, some young man accidentally stumbles across an ancient ruin and attains an ancient cultivation method, believing that he will be unbeatable in the future. However, he is unaware that it is precisely because the cultivation method is too ancient that it is flawed, and the path is completely cut off at the Nascent Soul Stage.

The pathway from the Qi Training Stage to becoming an immortal was now common knowledge, but forging this complete path required cultivation methods to be passed down through countless generations, with countless lives lost along the way.

With the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s wealth of experience, she easily revealed many pieces of information that were unknown in the present day.

The town mayor glowered at the two. As someone who could cultivate to the Fusion Stage, he was certainly not a fool. Right after falling into their trap, he immediately figured out their whole artifice.

Unfortunately, it was all too late.

Finally, the “Undying Rule” succumbed to the “Inevitable Death Rule,” and the town mayor’s body disappeared.

This outcome was just as the two had predicted. From the beginning, the Taciturn Daoist Priest had already mentioned that rules could not be overly defiant of the natural order, so there wouldn’t be rules such as “absolutely unbeatable” and “absolutely undying.” As such, the town mayor’s “Undying Rule” wouldn’t be too absolute.

“Die? I am the Immortal Vanquisher True Person,[1] imperishable through countless tribulations with an indestructible true soul. How can I fail here?”

The town mayor was just a body the Immortal Vanquisher True Person had taken over, not his true body. In theory, since the town mayor’s physical body had died, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou should have passed the test. However, the Immortal Vanquisher True Person couldn’t endure such humiliation.

As a dignified Fusion expert who has lived for thousands of years and schemed against countless opponents, how could I end up getting outsmarted by two Foundation Establishment cultivators?

I can’t take this lying down! Even if I have to violate the rules and suffer damage to my soul today, I must kill these two brats!

“Hmm, you have a Sword Spirit Root?” Without the restrictions of a physical body, the Immortal Vanquisher True Person was more perceptive. He could sense that one of them had a Single’s Spirit while the other had a Sword Spirit Root, both top-tier talents that far outclassed the town mayor.

Sword Spirit Root is renowned for its offensive power. If I can possess a body with a Sword Spirit Root and combine it with my Immortal Vanquisher Secret Spell, I’ll definitely surpass my original self, and breaking through to the Transcendent Tribulation Stage may even be possible! Moreover, at the Apex Transcendent Tribulation Stage, my Immortal Vanquisher Secret Spell can strike down immortals. I’ll be invincible then! Even when the Great Era arrives, who can stand in my way?

He cackled out loud. “Looks like this is an opportunity the heavens have bestowed upon me!” This is really an unexpected massive gain. Just when one thinks that all hope is lost, amidst the shadows of the willows, a bright path to a village appears—there will be a silver lining.[2] To him, Lu Yang was already in the bag. After all, what waves can a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator stir up before a Fusion cultivator?

Turning into a ball of gray mist, he entered Lu Yang’s mental space, planning to take over his body.

Lu Yang stared at the Immortal Vanquisher True Person in horror and disbelief. “You...you are a Fusion cultivator, but not only do you not follow your own rules, you also want to take over my body?!”

The Immortal Vanquisher True Person sneered, looking at Lu Yang in contempt. At the end of the day, he’s just a child and hasn’t seen through the original essence of the world. “Before you die, I’ll impart to you a principle so that you can accept your death.

“The strong are always right. This is an unchanging principle throughout the ages. When you cannot afford to provoke a Fusion cultivator, you should keep your tail tucked between your legs and behave like you should!”

Lu Yang sighed, “If only everyone could follow the rules and rely on their own abilities to compete. Since you don’t want to play by the rules, don’t blame me for flipping the tables on you.” He dodged to one side, revealing the person behind him as he gestured respectfully.

“Immortal Fairy, I’m counting on you.”

Then, the Immortal Vanquisher True Person saw the Everlasting Immortal Fairy casually reclining with her legs crossed. The Everlasting Immortal Fairy looked at the Immortal Vanquisher True Person disdainfully, her lips curling into a smile that seemed to be of mockery and scorn. “Young man, you have quite the guts to be talking about body takeover in front of this immortal.”

“Hmm?” Question marks were popping out of the Immortal Vanquisher True Person’s head. Why are there two people inside the mental space? And why is the other person referring to herself as an immortal?

For no apparent reason, he felt a dreadful sense of impending doom.
