Who Let Him Cultivate?!

How helpful!

His case was peculiar. In the world of cultivation, children generally matured early. The Great Xia’s law set the age of criminal responsibility rather low. Regardless of how low it was, a five-day old infant could not be held accountable for a crime.

He had truly been born just five days ago, but upon birth, he had inherited great power and knowledge.

At present, Great Xia’s law did not stipulate how to deal with someone like him.

Generally, in the absence of explicit legal provisions, the principles of criminal law would be considered. Based on the principle of protecting minors, he was not criminally responsible.

Even if he were assumed responsible, an unsuccessful possession would not result in a death sentence.

The righteous sects surely believed in law and order. Unlike the demonic sects, they wouldn’t simply kill and dispose of bodies to keep them quiet.

Fairy Eternity furrowed her brows as she found some truth in what Immortal Eternity was saying. However, something felt amiss about it, though she couldn’t pinpoint why.

Fairy Eternity had little knowledge of current laws.

Lu Yang pondered, murmuring, “You make a fair point. However, as long as we eliminate you here without anyone knowing, I don’t think the criminal law would apply to us?”

Great Xia couldn’t govern what it was unaware of.

“Oh~ You can do that, Lu Yang? You’re so smart!” Fairy Eternity praised Lu Yang. He truly was deserving of his title of the sect’s founder; his mind was agile.

Immortal Eternity: “!!!”

Was this something the righteous path should be suggesting?!

Upon learning that Lu Yang was a member of the Seek Dao Sect, Immortal Eternity had assumed that his various actions during the Foundation Establishment Stage competition were deliberate performances.

Now, it seemed that this was simply him acting naturally!

Yun Zhi had different methods of dealing with Immortal Eternity: “Each of the Five Great Immortal Sects has the right to enforce the law. In theory, we can handle you in the Seek Dao Sect. You have the memories of all your followers and can assist the Seek Dao Sect. As long as you confess honestly, we can imprison you in the Seek Dao Sect.”

The moment Immortal Eternity heard that he would not be killed, he was overjoyed. See, this was the righteous path!

As for being imprisoned, that was a minor issue.

“However, if you lie in your confession, we will directly probe your soul.”

Immortal Eternity quickly pledged that he would be loyal to the Seek Dao Sect, answer any questions, reform, and start anew.

He even swore to the real immortal – Yellow Bean.

“Senior, please return the Eternity Dao Fruit embryo to him.”

Fairy Eternity understood Yun Zhi’s intentions. She nodded slightly and placed the Eternity Dao Fruit embryo back into Immortal Eternity’s soul.

Upon sensing the return of the Eternity Dao Fruit embryo, Immortal Eternity felt his strength gradually returning, and the pain from being hit earlier also diminished.

People were generally good in this world; they even returned his Dao Fruit!

Yun Zhi spoke again, “Senior, as the controller of the Eternity line, you can control those who possess the Eternity Dao Fruit embryo. With you here, we can control Immortal Eternity.”

Immortal Eternity: “…”

Is the position of the Dao Fruit embryo really that low?

This was knowledge that neither Lu Yang nor Immortal Eternity knew of.

When Lu Yang left the secret room, Great Xia had already sprung into action.

After receiving the information from the Eldest Senior Sister, Great Xia took it very seriously. They had someone deliver the information to Emperor Xia, who was shocked when he saw the contents.

They actually found the headquarters of a demonic sect, and the demonic sect was completely unaware!

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

The Four Great Devil Sects caused endless trouble. Emperor Xia couldn’t miss the opportunity to uproot one of them.

He immediately ordered to mobilise the army and work with the Seek Dao Sect to capture every single member of the Eternity Sect!

Great Xia dispatched forces to seal off all exits. A dozen Unification Stage experts led the battle, ordering their subordinates to arrest everyone.

In this do-or-die moment, the Eternity Sect displayed great discipline—they dropped their weapons and surrendered voluntarily.

“We surrender!”

All the efforts had a payoff; even the seemingly useless surrender training played a crucial role at this time.

Great Xia dared to arrest them because they were well-prepared. The dozen Unification Stage experts were just the surface. Surely, a Transcendance Tribulation Stage power was lurking in the background.

Under such circumstances, no member of the Eternity Sect could escape.

Rather than resisting, it was better to surrender obediently. With good luck, they might survive.

“Lu Yang, how dare you betray the Eternity Sect!” Seeing Lu Yang, the master wished to tear him to shreds.

Unfortunately, he was currently sealed off. His mana was frozen, his cultivation lost, rendering him immobile.

He still didn’t know that Lu Yang was a spy sent by the Seek Dao Sect.

“Master, that’s where you went wrong. It’s our tradition in the demonic sect to usurp power! How can someone who fails to thoroughly understand the meaning of the Demon Path lead the Eternity Sect?”, Lu Yang explained to the master.

The two Unification Stage cultivators who held the master twitched at the corners of their eyes. He indeed belonged to the Seek Dao Sect, effortlessly masquerading as a member of the demonic sect.

A figure stepped through a distortion in space, arriving in front of Lu Yang. The figure was slender, a handsome young man who greeted Lu Yang, “I am Ming Ge. I hope Friend Yun Zhi will come out to meet me.”

Yun Zhi emerged from Lu Yang’s spiritual world, returning the greeting, “Ming Sir.”

Ming Ge quickly said, “I dare not be called Sir in the presence of Daoist Yun Zhi.”

Ming Ge was a Transcendance Tribulation Stage expert under Great Xia, responsible for the current operation.

Despite his youthful appearance, Ming Ge was older than Daoist Buyu.

As a Transcendance Tribulation Stage expert, he knew far more than the average person—like Yun Zhi’s strength, for example.

Ming Ge knew that even if Great Xia didn’t act, Yun Zhi alone could completely apprehend the entire Eternity Sect.

Regardless of the contribution to the operation or her strength, Ming Ge dared not to boast in front of Yun Zhi.

Just as Ming Ge was about to say something, a subordinate came to report.

“Reporting to Sir, we caught two Eternity Sect disciples. Even though their cultivation is only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, they have reached the position of Rudder Master. They appear to be demonic seeds carefully nurtured by the upper ranks of the Eternity Sect. However, the two insist that they are spies sent by a righteous sect and are not real disciples of the Eternity Sect.”

“We also received a piece of information stating that the Eternity Sect just held a Foundation Establishment Stage competition. These two achieved the second and third place respectively. With such results, it’s hard for people to believe that they are members of the righteous sect.”

Lu Yang: “…”

Why am I not considered a member of the righteous sect!

Ming Ge held his brow in agony and sighed, “Does one of them go by the name Meng Jingzhou? He is the young master of the Meng family, and I have attended his one-month banquet. Both of them are spies from the Seek Dao Sect.”

“Since Meng Jingzhou is both a member of the Meng family and the Seek Dao Sect, it is normal for him to thrive in the Eternity Sect. Let them go.”

“Yes.”
