Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 275: Functions of the Unbeatable Golden Core
Chapter 275: Functions of the Unbeatable Golden Core
Lu Yang remained silent for a long time before asking, “Immortal Fairy, why is this feature different from what you described?”
“This brings us to the second function of the Unbeatable Golden Core: it will tell you not to fight if you can’t win.
“Think about it. Why do you sometimes win and sometimes lose in battles? What’s the reason for losing? Isn’t it because you can’t beat them?
“Now, with the Unbeatable Golden Core directly telling you that you can’t defeat someone, wouldn’t that prevent you from losing?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy spoke with conviction and sound logic.
This time, Lu Yang remained silent for an even longer time, mainly because he actually found the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s argument reasonable.
Lu Yang used the Unbeatable Golden Core to scan his senior brothers and sisters, and the answers were all the same—he couldn’t win.
“Your senior brothers and sisters are all at least at the Advanced Golden Core Stage, and every one of them can fight above their level. On the other hand, you just reached the Basic Golden Core Stage and have yet to stabilize your cultivation. Yet you think you can defeat them? It’d be more realistic if I took control of your body.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy advised Lu Yang not to be overly ambitious. He could wait for Meng Jingzhou to form his golden core and challenge him as an opponent.
“Back when you fought the Heaven Mandate Immortal and Qilin Immortal, what did the Unbeatable Golden Core tell you about their weaknesses?”
“Oh, that? The Unbeatable Golden Core told me they were at the Foundation Establishment Stage and let me do my thing.”
Lu Yang, “...”
~~~
It wasn’t until they reached the commercial district that Lu Yang regained a bit of confidence.
The shopping district wasn’t just filled with retired Fusion cultivators; Golden Core cultivators from outside the sect were also running businesses here.
These Golden Core cultivators were strong in combat but paled in comparison to Lu Yang.
“Roujiamo burger[1] vendor: Basic Golden Core Stage, weaker spiritual consciousness. Mental attacks can work.

“Waiter at the Hundred Fragrance Restaurant: can’t be defeated. Pick someone else.
“Six-Winged Duck: ingredient, Basic Golden Core Stage. Its weakness is fire. Three Flavor True Fire can be used against it, or order a roasted duck and let the kitchen handle it.
“Tea shop owner: can’t be defeated. Pick someone else.
“Tailor shop owner: Intermediate Golden Core Stage, no shortcomings. Can be defeated through brute force.”
The essence of Lu Yang’s golden core was the unification of his essence, qi, and consciousness. In other words, the Unbeatable Golden Core was a part of Lu Yang, capable of formulating effective strategies based on his knowledge, essentially obtaining an extra brain.
“Chef Liu from the barbeque shop: can’t be defeated. Pick someone else.
“Chef Gao from the barbeque shop: can’t be defeated. Pick someone else.”
“Hmm?” Only then did Lu Yang realize he had unknowingly arrived at the Everlasting Creed’s headquarters.
The barbeque shop was bustling. The creed leader and the Everlasting Immortal were busy making deliveries, retrieving freshly slaughtered beef and mutton from their storage rings.
“Lu Yang!” The creed leader’s gaze was complicated when he caught sight of Lu Yang—three parts conflict, three parts regret, and four parts relief.
Chef Gao and Chef Liu had similar reactions.
If it weren’t for Lu Yang, how could the Everlasting Creed have ended up like this? Who could believe that this fellow destroyed the Everlasting Creed after joining the creed for only two months?
“Lu Yang? Come come, have a seat!” The Everlasting Immortal’s reaction was completely different from the rest, appearing extremely enthusiastic.
I have no choice but to be enthusiastic. After all, this kid’s body houses the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, the origin of the Everlasting Lineage, which makes him innately superior. Moreover, he’s a favorite of both the Everlasting Immortal Fairy and Yun Zhi—neither of whom I can afford to offend.
Of course, I have to curry favor with him.
“Unfortunately, it’s still morning, and the meat hasn’t been marinated yet; otherwise, I’d grill some skewers for you,” the Everlasting Immortal said regretfully; it was clear that he genuinely wanted to prepare some barbeque skewers for Lu Yang.
Being served barbeque skewers by the Everlasting Immortal is akin to having Hercules remove your boots in my previous world.
Lu Yang also felt a little uneasy. All the higher-ups of the Everlasting Creed were here. Since Yun Zhi had refined the creed leader and the vice creed leaders into tiger-henchman ghosts, they couldn’t harbor hostility toward Dao-Seeking Sect disciples. If this weren’t the case, Lu Yang was worried he wouldn’t make it out of the barbeque shop alive.
The creed leader and the elders of the Dao-Seeking Sect were from the same generation, and he was at the Apex Fusion Stage.
“I still have urgent matters to discuss with Big Senior Sister, so I won’t be going in,” Lu Yang declined.
The moment the Everlasting Immortal heard “Big Senior Sister,” he let Lu Yang go.
After Lu Yang left, the Everlasting Immortal narrowed his eyes. “Lu Yang has formed his golden core. Can you tell what kind of golden core it was?”
The creed leader shook his head. “It looks like a first-grade golden core, but as for the specifics, I’m afraid my eyes aren’t sharp enough to tell. But it should be a completely new type of golden core, which also aligns with the Dao-Seeking Sect’s style.”
Having spent this much time in the Dao-Seeking Sect, the higher-ups of the Everlasting Creed had picked up on some of its patterns. For example, the disciples never follow the beaten track when forming their golden cores, resulting in a wide variety of golden cores.
“Should we commence that plan targeting Lu Yang?” the creed leader asked softly after opening a barrier, as if he was scared someone might overhear.
The Everlasting Immortal nodded. “Since he has already formed his golden core, we’ll proceed with the plan and catch Lu Yang off guard. Remember, the plan must be executed when Yun Zhi isn’t around!
“If Yun Zhi shows up, the entire plan will go down the drain, and all of us will suffer the consequences!
“This matter must be kept secret. Only if we succeed will we have a future!”
The Everlasting Immortal spoke solemnly, “Although we don’t know the exact type of golden core Lu Yang has formed, it’s fine as long as we know he is now at the Golden Core Stage. We can use this as an excuse to send him gifts and try to win his favor!
“Remember, the gift-giving plan must not have any flaws! This concerns whether we can expand our store branches beyond the Dao-Seeking Sect!”
Everyone chorused, “We will keep it in mind!”

When Lu Yang returned to Heaven’s Gate Peak, Yun Zhi was sitting in a meditative state as usual.
Sensing Lu Yang’s arrival, she slowly opened her eyes and studied him carefully. “You’ve formed your golden core?” A rare trace of puzzlement flickered in her eyes; she couldn’t recognize which type of golden core Lu Yang had formed. “What kind of golden core did you form?”
Lu Yang answered honestly, “It’s the same as the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s golden core, called the Unbeatable Golden Core.”
Yun Zhi nodded. “It seems to be a golden core that has been lost to the river of history. The name certainly fits the style of the Immortal Fairy. As for its power, since it’s the same as the Immortal Fairy’s golden core, it should rank among the top three first-grade golden cores.
“What functions does it have?”
“It can see through the opponent’s weaknesses and formulate targeted strategies to secure a victory.”
“Oh?” Yun Zhi’s interest was piqued. Her tone softened slightly, no longer as cold as ice. “If I were your opponent, could your Unbeatable Golden Core reveal my weaknesses?”
Beads of sweat instantly trickled down from Lu Yang’s forehead.
“I-I'll try.”
He tried to activate the Unbeatable Golden Core to probe Yun Zhi’s weaknesses. Unsurprisingly, the Unbeatable Golden Core gave the same response as before: Can’t be defeated. Pick someone else.
Lu Yang reported the results to Yun Zhi, who then asked, “What if I insist on fighting?”
Since the battle was unavoidable, the Unbeatable Golden Core quickly provided a follow-up answer: Commit suicide now to safeguard your undefeated record.
Lu Yang asked, “... Is it too late for me to form another golden core now?”
It was said that regret was not an option in forming a golden core. I don’t know what others think, but in any case, I’m filled with regret.
To hell with having the same golden core as an immortal!
