Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 68: Chapter 67: We all Think for the Good of the Demonic Secti

Translator: 549690339

The Rudder Master, as the highest Cultivator within the rudder, had received systematic training at the headquarters, learning the true essence of the Demon Path. What kind of situation hadn’t he seen before?

This was a situation he had genuinely never seen before.

If the Manager had prepared everything in advance out of consideration for him, he could understand and would even feel comforted.

But what on earth were these three up to? Where did they pop up from?

The Rudder Master figured out the issue, his gaze cold enough to kill. These three were imposters posing as examiners to eliminate their competitors beforehand.

“What a great tactic!” The Rudder Master spoke through gritted teeth.

While continuing their charade of being examiners, Lu Yang put his legs up on the table: “If you’re not going to bribe us, then how do you expect to pass the examination? Next.”

The next person, respectful and dutiful, took out a Spirit Stone as a token of respect for the three supposed examiners. Meng Jingzhou accepted it but felt it was a bit stingy, so he asked, “Do you have any experience joining the demonic sect?”

“None.”

“Oh, sorry, we don’t accept individuals with no experience. You may leave now.”

“…” The poor examinee felt that the only thing missing was a sign on the fake examiners that read, “We are not hiring.”

The Rudder Master appeared behind the three like a ghost, cold air billowing from between his teeth, a full display of his Golden Core Stage aura. With one slap, he sent the three of them flying into the wall: “You three have some nerve, posing as examiners here!”

If he had arrived a bit later, all the candidates would have been gone!

Lu Yang peeled himself off the wall and hurriedly said, “Sir, it’s a misunderstanding! We are sincerely considering the interests of the demonic sect!”

The Rudder Master, amused by their audacity, asked, “Well, why don’t you tell me how you’ve been considering the interests of the demonic sect?”

“Sir, a Cultivator of the Demon Path should always be suspicious and ask more questions. No one should be too easily trusted. Look at these people here, they simply believed we were the examiners without a single doubt.”

“To be so easily deceived, doesn’t that mean they can easily be tricked by others? If a clever person from the Righteous Path decided to trick them, they’d likely believe every single one.”

“Moreover, only Cultivators from the Righteous Path would believe everything they hear so readily. I even suspect that among these people, there are moles from the Righteous Path. Sir, you must thoroughly investigate their identities, we can’t let Cultivators from the Righteous Path infiltrate us!”

As he spoke, Lu Yang gave a suspicious glance at the crowd, as though he was sure that there were spies among them.

Lu Yang spoke so convincingly and sincerely, it was as if he were genuinely considering the interests of the Rudder Master.

This slightly softened the Rudder Master’s expression.

What Meng Jingzhou said was even more earnest than Lu Yang, it sounded like his sincere thoughts: “Furthermore, Cultivators of the Demon Path are selfish and only think about themselves. With so many people coming to take part in the trial, we naturally have to find ways to reduce our competition!”

“If they are less skillful and easily fooled, whom can they blame but themselves? They can only blame themselves for not being experienced enough at trickery!”

The Rudder Master’s eyebrows unfurled, he felt like this was their true sentiments.

Right, Cultivators of the Demon Path should be lawless, leave no stone unturned. Back when he joined the demonic sect, he used every trick in the book to gain the favor of the higher-ups and achieve his current position.

These three were indeed more skillful than he was back in the day, surpassing the master.

What Man Gu said was the most straightforward, stating, “We sincerely want to join the demonic sect, and promise that we won’t do anything good!”

The Rudder Master nodded subtly, thinking that this trio might also gain favor from the higher-ups, which would elevate the status of Yanjiang Rudder.

The crowd glared fiercely at the trio. They were all well-known rogues, rascals, and swindlers in the world, but none were as shameless as these three, who tricked people so ruthlessly!

If the Rudder Master wasn’t present, they would have swarmed up to tear these damn bastards apart!

The Rudder Master didn’t care about the thoughts of the people below, a bunch of mediocrities. How could they compare to these three in terms of value? “What is your Cultivation Level?”

Lu Yang respectfully answered, “We’re all in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment. We three brothers are from out of town. A month ago, we came to Yanjiang County and heard that the demonic sect was recruiting. So, we decided to give it a try. Seeing so many competitors, we had to resort to this tactic.”

“You did well.” The Rudder Master’s satisfaction with the three grew. These were promising seeds, essentially his achievements.

With just a casual wave of his hand earlier, any ordinary cultivator in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment would have been injured. But these three didn’t seem hurt at all, which showed their exceptional abilities.

If these three show promise during the trial, promoting them to the position of Manager wouldn’t be out of the question.

Those who got eliminated by Lu Yang gradually returned, dragged back by the Rudder Master on his return.

Those who had been eliminated harbored more hatred towards Lu Yang than the others. Lu Yang felt that if he killed them all at that moment, they might instantly turn into vengeful spirits.

The Rudder Master reopened the stone wall, saying to everyone, “All of you, enter.”

Behind the stone wall was a vast and dark space. Gigantic rocks floated in mid-air, connected by chains, making quite a spectacle.

Lu Yang’s suspicions were confirmed; Yanjiang Rudder was inside a Cave Heaven.

The Rudder Master’s attitude toward the three was clearly different from the others: “You three thought very well, wanting to elbow your competitors out of the way. You did a commendable job, but you were wrong from the beginning. Pushing these people out, or even if only you three were to take part in the trial, doesn’t necessarily mean you’d pass.”

” What do you mean?” The three of them were puzzled.

The Rudder Master behind the mask just smiled and didn’t answer, stepping onto the floating stone and leading everyone to the largest floating stone.

It was a flat platform with intricate and exquisite patterns carved into the ground. Four ancient stone pillars stood at the cardinal directions, with eleven Managers draped in black robes each overseeing their posts at the platform’s edges.

“Please take a seat randomly and relax.” R/ê/Ad lat𝙚St ch/a/pters at nô(v)e(l)bin/.c/o//m Only

After everyone did as instructed, the Rudder Master came to the center of the platform. In the middle hovered a piece of emerald-green stone inscribed with dense, mysterious symbols.

The Rudder Master channeled spiritual energy into the stone, activating the Array Method beneath him. The Array Method began to rotate, expand, duplicate and increase, spreading throughout the entire platform instantly.

The platform seemed like an awakening ancient beast, taking everyone to an unknown space with its mysterious power born out of an ancient era.

In the immaculate space, shadowy figures stood around, looking confused and uncertain about what had just happened.

Whenever Lu Yang saw such a white space, he couldn’t help but suspect that a “Tofu Heaven Sovereign” might suddenly appear amongst the crowd.

Lu Yang noticed that Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu were not beside him; he was surrounded by strangers.

“Brother, where are you from?” Lu Yang asked with an air of familiarity, however, his enthusiasm seemed a bit too much for the other person.

The man felt it would be rude to remain silent, so he answered, “From Huangyue City.”

Lu Yang proceeded to ask several more people only to realize they all hailed from different bases of the demonic sect, and had all been transported here via the giant array method.

Lu Yang gradually understood the Rudder Master’s implied meaning. The selection this time was not confined to individual bases, but organized by the headquarters. All of the independent cultivators from the Demon Path were presented to participate in the selection at the same time.

“This feels like a Yin Soul out of the Body, yet also different.” Lu Yang murmured. He believed that the platform had not transported their true forms, but rather something akin to their consciousness.

“It’s intriguing. I wonder if Eldest Senior Sister could…” Lu Yang abruptly halted his thoughts. If this was indeed a state of consciousness, perhaps the Eternity Sect had a way to detect his thoughts.

Better to be cautious.

Suddenly, the whole space dimmed, and a glowing silhouette appeared in the air.

All they heard was a tranquil voice saying, “I am the Vice-Master of the Eternity Sect, I’ve set up three trials for all of you to take. Those who pass all three trials may join our sect.”
