Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Yun Zhi held a book, sitting quietly. She looked well-read, serene in her lack of worldly attachments.

Fairy Eternity, however, sprawled lazily, yawning in boredom – a picture of someone disconnected from the world.

“Kid, at our level, do you still need to read books page by page? Why not just scan them with Spiritual Sense and know everything right away?” Fairy Eternity, completely oblivious to her image, asked while yawning.

Lu Yang, observing from the sidelines, shook his head. Such a beautiful fairy, only if she were a bit sober.

Smiling, Yun Zhi shook her head, “Senior, there’s something you may not understand. The greatest joy of reading a book is turning its pages one by one, never knowing what surprise the next page has in store. If we scan it using our Spiritual Sense, wouldn’t the joy disappear?”

Fairy Eternity gave it some thought and felt it made sense, “So, what book are you reading?”

“‘How to Be a Good Big Sister’.”

“Quite a unique name.”

“Yeah, I wrote it.”

Lu Yang, not wanting to stir trouble but still unable to resist asking, said, “Eldest Senior Sister, aren’t you bothered by Fairy calling you a kid?”

Fairy Eternity shot Lu Yang an angry look; was this something suitable for him, a teacher, to ask?

Yun Zhi gently nodded, her movements almost indiscernible, “Senior is right. Regardless of her having lived three hundred thousand years before us or considering her actual age, her calling me a kid is not wrong.”

Perhaps a fool’s courage allowed Fairy Eternity to muster her resolve, she contested, “Whoa whoa whoa. I can’t let that slide. I’m only sixteen!”

Lu Yang chimed in, “Fairy, are you talking about your IQor brain development?”

Fury erupted across Fairy Eternity’s face as she challenged Lu Yang to a duel. He responded in kind but retreated to hide behind Eldest Senior Sister.

“If you’re brave, come out!”

“If you’re brave, come here!”

The two refused to back down.

While Fairy Eternity and Lu Yang bickered, Eldest Senior Sister quietly read her book.

Halfway through their quarrel, Lu Yang suddenly remembered, “Eldest Senior Sister, don’t you need to go astral and explore the headquarters?”

Given their low cultivation levels, Lu Yang and the others dared not roam around the headquarters. But Eldest Senior Sister could leave her body and remain undetected by anyone.

In reality, all three of them were obediently cultivating and hadn’t left.

Rolling her eyes, Fairy Eternity said, “Her? She’s already gone astral. You’re only seeing her clone that she left behind.”

If not for the fact that it was only a clone left, Fairy Eternity wouldn’t dare speak about Yun Zhi this way.

Lu Yang, “…Truly, no one can detect her.”

That even meant himself.

The Eternity Sect had many powerful cultivators, each a dragon or phoenix among humans. Yet no one noticed a divine soul quietly observing everything inside the headquarters.

Yun Zhi, with her unfathomable cultivation, could easily come and go as she pleased within the Eternity Sect’s headquarters.

She discovered that the Sect had meticulously laid out twenty-five exits in the headquarters. If a problem arose, the members could escape through these exits, making it difficult to capture everyone.

However, Yun Zhi had located all twenty-five exits and used her divine soul to lock on to them. The moment she made her move, nobody could escape through these exits. It would be like catching turtles in a jar.

She noticed the desolate Cave Heaven where the headquarters was situated. It should have been left from the Great Yu era and was accidentally discovered by the Eternity Sect.

Yun Zhi flew deeper into the headquarters and noticed a secret room at its deepest part. The room was heavily guarded with Array Methods to ensure no one could slip in unnoticed.

Except for Yun Zhi.

Upon entering, Yun Zhi saw the Master worshipping a statue of Immortal Eternity. From the statue, a thick cloud of smoke slowly emerged, gradually forming the figure of an old man.

“Hmm?” Yun Zhi frowned.

Neither the Master nor Immortal Eternity detected Yun Zhi, who had perfectly concealed her presence.

“Immortal, I have a question that I don’t understand. I need your guidance.”

“Child, ask.”

“The ancient books say you relish blood and murder. We have killed many to please you.”

“The souls of the dead are one of the sources of my power.”

With a troubled expression, the Master said, “To help you regain your peak, we don’t mind killing. But lately, it’s getting difficult. The Righteous Path has been increasing its scrutiny, making it hard for our members to live.”

“A few days ago, I even organized a criminal law quiz and held a talk about excluding illegal evidence. It was an effort to improve our members’ understanding of law and control over it. This can help them leave less evidence if they commit a crime, and even defend themselves in case they get caught by learning criminal law.”

Fairy Eternity scratched her chin, “You want me to organize a law lecture?”

“No. I noticed our members have poor learning skills and they aren’t interested in learning criminal law. To enhance their enthusiasm, you could change your statue to one that holds a book of law. We can even publicize that you, Immortal, are a keen learner of law.”

Immortal Eternity: “…Do you have anything else?”

“Yes, I wanted to ask if your power truly comes from killing humans. Possibly, we could kill other creatures. To be frank, my family used to run a slaughterhouse. Even though we aren’t in that business now, we’re familiar with the process. What do you think about transforming Eternity Sect into Eternity Slaughterhouse? This way we can go legal and ensure the members’ safety.”

“We also have three excellent barbeque chefs in the sect. Later on, we can open a chain of BBQrestaurants, connected to the slaughterhouse, forming a whole supply chain. It’s a win-win situation!”

Seeing Immortal Eternity was about to say something, the Master continued, “Are you worried about tax issues? You can rest assured. I was targeted for evading a ton of taxes, which left me no choice but to turn to the Demon Path. I’m an expert when it comes to taxes!”

Quoting this, the Master was full of confidence, and his eyes shone brightly.

Immortal Eternity: “…Can I leave if there’s nothing else?”

“Yes, there’s one small matter.”

The Master respectfully pulled out a few sheets of paper.

“What is this?”

“It’s an evacuation drill plan. We’ve moved the headquarters, and members aren’t familiar with the escape routes. We plan to conduct a large-scale drill soon where we assume that the Righteous Path is attacking and run immediately. Do you want to participate, Immortal?”

After a long silence, Immortal Eternity contemplated if he should come down and let the Master take his place as the idol.

“No, I can appear on my own statue at any time. The Righteous Path can’t catch me. Also, please organize the test as soon as possible, so I can possess a body, start cultivating and return to my peak sooner.”

“Oh.”

“Hmm? She’s back.” Within the spiritual space, Fairy Eternity suddenly said. However, Lu Yang sensed nothing.

From Fairy Eternity’s perspective, a golden light flew in from the outside and merged with Yun Zhi here.

Being an Immortal, Fairy had real skills.

Eldest Senior Sister put down her book. Her expression differed from before, her eyebrows creased, indicating she’d discovered something.

Looking at Fairy Eternity, she hesitated, “Senior, you’ve been tricked.”

“What?”
