Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

As Qin Yanyan entered the mortal world, she immediately felt its unfathomable depths.

When she first arrived in Ancient Locust Town, she saw her former father closely mixing with female ghosts, and her father’s two senior brothers were even more shameless in their exploits.

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, she heard the rare news about the Nine Nether Sect. Fortunately, her father, whom she had never met, turned out to be the former Sect Leader of the Nine Nether Sect.

Moreover, her father had incurred a huge debt for the sake of his career, unbeknownst to her and her mother.

In the end, she became her father.

At the tender age of seventeen, she had experienced what many could not in their entire lives.

Lu Yang: “…”

At this point, even if he said that Li Haoran was the reincarnation of Qin Haoran, the other side wouldn’t believe it, right?

Lu Yang thought his plan was quite foolproof. First, he used his extensive knowledge of ancient times to create a grand narrative, constructing a mythical Heavenly Court Sect, with Yellow Bean as the Bean Celestial at its helm.

He even wrote a chronological history for the Heavenly Court Sect, ensuring that no matter who examined it, they wouldn’t find any flaws.

Then, he planned to find the wooden box and have Li Haoran open it naturally, proving that Li Haoran was indeed the reincarnation of Qin Haoran. This would demonstrate that the Heavenly Court Sect had immense power and was willing to support the Nine Nether Sect.

This way, they could establish a connection with the Nine Nether Sect.

If luck favored them, they might even establish ties with the other two demonic sects.

After destroying the Undying Sect, Lu Yang had reflected on his actions multiple times. He realized that his previous actions were too aggressive; there was no need to destroy the Undying Sect so quickly.

He could have followed the leads from the Undying Sect to find the three major demonic sects and eventually wipe them out all at once.

However, it wasn’t too late to make amends.

“Master Mi, you guessed right. She is indeed the reincarnation of Sect Leader Qin, found by our Heavenly Court Sect. After undergoing the baptism of reincarnation, Sect Leader Qin’s soul has become a pure, innate soul, shedding postnatal influences and returning to its primal state, becoming a being without gender.”

“After reincarnating as a human, Sect Leader Qin was born into a female body, influenced by the mysteries of the womb, and forgot her past memories. Later, our elders found her using the secret methods of reincarnation and awakened a part of her past consciousness, gradually recovering her memories!”

“The surname is the root of the soul. A soul that loses its surname becomes like a rootless duckweed, drifting and gradually forgetting itself. Fortunately, Sect Leader Qin’s unparalleled mastery of reincarnation allowed him to retain the same surname through his past and current lives!”

“You were deceived by this person named Qin Tian, thinking he was the reincarnation of Qin Haoran. I suppose the surname played a part in that.”

“It’s a pity that you only understand a fraction of reincarnation, not the whole picture. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have mistaken Qin Tian for Sect Leader Qin’s reincarnation.”

Lu Yang laughed self-deprecatingly: “But then again, the complete ariya-phala of reincarnation has not yet been realized. Who can claim to have fully comprehended the Dao of Reincarnation? Even Ying Tian Immortal and the others cannot, I’m sure.”

Everyone present was stunned by Lu Yang’s long-winded explanation, even Li Haoran couldn’t help but transmit a message to Meng Jingzhou: “Senior Brother Meng, how does Senior Brother Lu know so much about reincarnation?”

“He knows nothing. It’s all nonsense.” Meng Jingzhou was the clearest-headed, realizing from the beginning that Lu Yang was making it up on the spot.

Lu Yang took the wooden box and tossed it to Master Mi.

“What does this mean?” Master Mi was puzzled. This was a treasure specially hidden by Sect Leader Qin.

Lu Yang smiled confidently: “Though the items of Sect Leader Qin are precious, they mean little to our Heavenly Court Sect. Take the box back and show it to your higher-ups so they can see that it’s genuinely Sect Leader Qin’s possession and not something fabricated by us.”

In his words, Lu Yang clearly intended to communicate with the upper echelons, using Master Mi merely as a messenger.

As an unparalleled ancient genius, he indeed had this right.

“And also, these three female ghosts are mine now,” Lu Yang declared. He casually tapped the foreheads of the three ghosts, Little Seven and her companions, causing Master Mi to instantly lose control over them.

What kind of technique was this!?

The soul restrictions he had painstakingly placed were wiped out effortlessly?

He was a full level higher than Lu Yang!

Was this an ancient technique that had been lost for ages?

Or did it involve [Reincarnation]?

Cold sweat dripped from Master Mi’s forehead. He realized Lu Yang and his companions had unfathomably deep roots.

“If you are willing to cooperate with our Heavenly Court Sect, come find us at the barbecue restaurant in Yanjiang County. If not, then this matter ends here.”

Master Mi and the Spirit Transformation stage cultivator had complex expressions. These people came from ancient times, had complete inheritances, and the support of Heavenly Court elders. Collaborating with them would be a significant advantage for the Nine Nether Sect.

“I will certainly relay this to the higher-ups of the sect!” Master Mi said respectfully to Lu Yang and his group.

With that, he took Qin Tian and left Ancient Locust Town.

“Aren’t you leaving?” Lu Yang glanced casually in the direction of the Spirit Transformation stage cultivator. The cultivator, now convinced there was a hidden master among Lu Yang’s group, didn’t dare stay and quickly departed.

“What do you think? Will they believe it?” Qin Yanyan asked, worried.

Lu Yang smiled, unconcerned: “Whether they believe it or not doesn’t matter.”

“The righteous path has been suppressing the demonic path for so long. A sudden emergence of a powerful ally will definitely prompt them to come to Yanjiang County to verify.”

“Let’s go back. The Heavenly Court Sect needs more than just us to look convincing. We need to go back to the sect and find a few more people to fill the ranks.”

“Can I go to the Dao Seeking Sect too?” Qin Yanyan was surprised. She always thought the Five Great Immortal Sects were mysterious, aloof, and highly exclusive, impossible for outsiders to enter.

“Of course you can. After all, you are Junior Brother Li’s former daughter.”

Lu Yang continued, “Not just you. Even Li’s former wife, Su Yiren, can come to the Dao Seeking Sect.”

……

“Old Mi, we need to report this to the sect immediately!” The Spirit Transformation stage cultivator said seriously. This matter had exceeded their capacity to handle.

Master Mi nodded. He thought the same.

Whether the Heavenly Court Sect was real or not wasn’t up to them to decide. It was up to the higher-ups in the sect.

……

“This is the whole story,” Master Mi and the Spirit Transformation stage cultivator reported nervously to the person before them.

The person in front of them wore a hemp robe, had a thin build, a face full of wrinkles, and deep, dark eyes that seemed to hide endless secrets. This was Petrified Bone, one of the three deputy sect leaders of the Nine Nether Sect.

Qin Tian’s identity had been fabricated by him.

Petrified Bone gave a cold, chilling smile. “Whether it’s real or not, we’ll know once we see if the treasure in the box truly belongs to Qin Haoran.”

Other things could be faked, but Qin Haoran’s possessions could not.

He opened the wooden box. Inside was only a yellowed piece of paper with Qin Haoran’s handwriting, stating:

I, Qin Haoran, hereby declare that I owe one billion spirit stones. If not repaid on time, may I be struck by five bolts of lightning.

It was an IOU.

As Petrified Bone was stunned, the words on the paper quietly changed.

The name “Qin Haoran” morphed into “Petrified Bone.”

The content of the IOU changed to:

I, Petrified Bone, hereby declare that I owe one billion spirit stones. If not repaid on time, may I be struck by five bolts of lightning.

Petrified Bone looked up to see dark clouds gathering ominously overhead, brewing terrifying lightning.

He instinctively swallowed hard.

Seeing this, Master Mi and the Spirit Transformation stage cultivator bolted in fear.
