Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 194: Child, What Wishes Do You Have?

Flying Swallow was not the only one with question marks floating above his head; even the higher-ups of the Everlasting Creed felt that they had broadened their horizons.

Is this a combat style popular among the younger generation? Are we falling behind the times?

~~~

Man Gu swung Meng Jingzhou and Lu Yang around as he spun on the spot, swatting away the covert weapons and incoming attacks.

“I don’t care what bizarre antics you have! All together, attack!” the Flying Swallow bellowed as he charged forward.

Following his lead, the others quickly swarmed in. Even if we have to overwhelm them with sheer numbers, we will crush them to death!

“Fusion Unique Technique: Great Windmill!” the trio shouted in unison as Man Gu lifted the two people and spun rapidly.

What Man Gu now carried in his hands were the sturdiest blunt weapon and the sharpest weapon, allowing him to be on both the offense and defense. Most importantly, the blunt weapon and sharp weapon could attack independently, the epitome of smart weapons.

Meng Jingzhou activated the Heaven-Shaking Six Forms, brandishing his fists to beat enemies until their faces were bruised, their bones broken, and their flesh mangled.

Lu Yang wielded his hands as swords as he channeled sword qi and unleashed the Single Character Sword Mantra, mercilessly slicing down enemies like a sword capable of propping up the sky.

Their teamwork was simple yet highly effective. Man Gu spun, Meng Jingzhou punched, and Lu Yang slashed. Each of them played their own role without interfering with the others.

Flying Swallow’s soft armor split open after getting struck by Lu Yang’s sword qi. If not for the armor, he would be bleeding now.

This Fusion technique may seem random and chaotic, but it’s astonishingly powerful.

Man Gu seemed to have transformed into an ancient devil god, wielding the two qi of yin and yang in his hands as he slaughtered his way around in the crowd. The contestants would either get smashed to death by Meng Jingzou’s head or hacked to death by Lu Yang’s sword qi.

After suffering a severe loss, the Flying Swallow no longer dared to engage in close combat. Noticing him retreating, the others also planned to flee. Revenge is sweet, but that only matters if we’re alive to enjoy it!

However, there were two problems with this technique. First, all the kills were credited to Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou. Second, they could get dizzy very easily.

“Urgh—” the three of them retched.

Despite having trained themselves for this, the time was too short. Such high-intensity spinning had exceeded their limits.

Lu Yang consoled the other two while retching, “I-I heard that dizziness is caused by our organs. Once...once we reach the Golden Core Stage and become able to control our organs, we can use this move repeatedly!”

“Urgh—is that true?” Meng Jingzhou had doubts about Lu Yang’s words.

“In theory, yes. We’ll test it out when we reach the Golden Core Stage.”

Seeing the trio in poor condition, the crowd prepared to charge toward them again.

The trio changed their strategy. When they saw someone attacking, Man Gu grabbed Meng Jingzhou’s ankle, while Lu Yang grabbed Meng Jingzhou by the neck. The two would treat Meng Jingzhou as a shield to block the incoming strikes.

Realizing that this tactic worked, Lu Yang and Man Gu followed up with the opportunity, charging forward with Meng Jingzhou as their shield.

“Hey hey hey! You two are too much! Me being a shield was not part of our discussion!” Meng Jingzhou protested. Even with my tough body, taking the brunt of the attacks still hurt dearly.

The two put Meng Jingzhou down.

When a few people launched their attacks from the same direction, Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu each hoisted one of Lu Yang’s legs. Lu Yang pulled out the devil saber and faced the enemies at once. Holding his ground, he struck as swiftly and fiercely as a serpent’s flickering tongue.

Suddenly, Lu Yang’s eyes sharpened. He pushed off with his feet and darted toward Flying Swallow.

You’re the brat who keeps causing us trouble!

“You overestimate yourself!” Flying Swallow was not scared of Lu Yang. When it was the three of you attacking together, I had no choice but to admit that I’m no match, but now that you’re alone, you still want to kill me?

Flying Swallow drew out a jade dizi flute,[1] which was his life-bound magical treasure capable of unleashing sonic attacks.

Whoo— He played the jade dizi flute, ready to kill Lu Yang.

Lu Yang sank into the ground and evaded the attack. The trees behind him were sliced cleanly in half, their smooth cross-sections testament to the devastating wound it would have left on a person.

“Earth Escape Technique!” Flying Swallow was shocked, not expecting Lu Yang to know such a challenging Five-Elements spell.

“Where will he pop up?!” He nimbly spun around, anticipating an attack from behind.

To his surprise, the ground beneath him split open, and a Bodhi tree broke through the soil, bearing two Lu Yangs on its branches.

Lu Yang and his clone leaped off the Bodhi tree at the same time. His clone performed Tiger Fist and transformed into a ferocious striped tiger lunging at the Flying Swallow, while Lu Yang swung his devil saber at him. At such close range, he could control his clone with impeccable precision.

Tiger demon Lu Yang was savage, while Lu Yang’s saber carried an overbearing momentum. In such close quarters, the Flying Swallow had no time to play his jade dizi flute.

“Enlarge!” The jade dizi flute extended to the height of the Flying Swallow’s brow, and he swung it to block the attacks from both Lu Yang and his clone.

The jade staff spun rapidly, creating a whooshing sound.

Lu Yang jerked his head to the side, narrowly evading an invisible sonic attack. This is another way of making the jade dizi flute sound!

“You do have some ideas!” Lu Yang sneered. Unfortunately for Flying Swallow, Lu Yang was now on guard, and this move no longer posed a threat to him. In fact, it was considered child’s play in the Dao-Seeking Sect, something not even worth mentioning.

Only someone as unknowledgeable as Flying Swallow would treat this as a viable attack method. But in the face of an absolute gulf in power, what kind of waves do you think you can still stir?

Outside the Dao-Seeking Sect, Lu Yang was confident that he was unbeatable among the Foundation Establishment cultivators, especially now that there were two of him.

He performed a sword technique with the devil saber. “Slashing Word Mantra!”

The tiger demon roared and uttered human words, “Tiger Descends the Mountain!”

Both launched their attacks from different directions, ripping Flying Swallow into pieces. The devil saber instantly recognized its new master and devoured him, making Flying Swallow its most short-lived master.

When Vice Creed Leader Jin witnessed the scene, he turned to the creed leader. “Wasn’t Flying Swallow hailed as your successor? Aren’t you going to stop this?”

The creed leader let out a cold laugh. “Successor? That’s just a title Flying Swallow slapped onto himself. Through various manipulations and subtle hints, he fooled people into thinking that he was my successor to reap all kinds of benefits.”

“Aren’t you going to punish him?”

“Why should I punish him? If he truly had the ability, I wouldn’t have minded acknowledging him as my successor. But if he lacks the ability, just like we saw today, he’d just end up dead.” A mere Flying Swallow is not outstanding enough to make me truly value him.

The creed leader proceeded to ask the Everlasting Immortal respectfully, “Have you decided who will have the honor of being your vessel?”

“Lu Yang.” The Everlasting Immortal had already made his choice. “This person is ruthless and scheming. His talents and constitution are also top-notch. He barely qualifies to become my vessel!” That said, the Everlasting Immortal believed that Lu Yang was the best vessel he could ask for.

The creed leader felt a twinge of reluctance. Ever since I assumed the position of creed leader, I have never met anyone more suitable as a diabolic cultivator than Lu Yang. Unfortunately, the Everlasting Immortal has selected him. However, it’s his honor to be chosen by the Everlasting Immortal. Sacrificing one Lu Yang for the Everlasting Immortal to return to his peak is a very worthwhile deal.

“Let him come to the secret chamber.”

“Understood.”

The creed leader stood in the air and released a wave of oppressive pressure. “The competition is over! Lu Yang has the highest number of points and is in first place. He will have the honor of receiving the Everlasting Immortal’s blessings!”

Everyone was a witness to Lu Yang’s stellar performance. However, the other participants couldn’t help but feel regretful for missing out on the Everlasting Immortal’s blessing.

“Lu Yang, come with me.” The creed leader beckoned with a hook of his finger, lifting Lu Yang into the air and taking him to the entrance of the secret chamber.

He reminded Lu Yang, “Blessings from an immortal are a matter of great significance. Enter the secret chamber first. You’ll understand what I mean when the time comes.”

“Yes.” Lu Yang’s face was wreathed in smiles, and it seemed genuine, prompting the creed leader to nod inwardly in approval. As expected from the Everlasting Immortal’s devout follower.

Lu Yang walked into the secret chamber and noticed how impoverished the Everlasting Creed was. The chamber was pitch-black with not even a single lamp.

Suddenly, the incense burner beneath the Everlasting Immortal’s statue lit up with three incense sticks. The smoke swirled upward, coalescing into the figure of a benevolent old man.

“Child, come here.” The benevolent-looking old man waved at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang was extremely excited upon seeing the benevolent elder. “You are...you are...”

The benevolent elder smiled. “That’s right, it’s just as you have guessed.”

“You’re really a Statue Demon Spirit?”

The Everlasting Immortal, “...”

“Child, I am the Everlasting Immortal. If you have any wishes, you can tell me, and I shall help you fulfill them.”
