Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 812: Joining the Heartless Creed

When Lu Yang saw these two individuals, he was so terrified that he began to tremble uncontrollably, feeling like his heart had stopped beating.

What’s wrong with your Heartless Creed? If you don’t want me to join, you could just say so directly. There’s no need to go to such lengths.

And “suppressed to the same cultivation realm?” Why don’t you suppress Big Senior Sister’s cultivation to the Golden Core Stage and let me witness what a sky full of golden cores is like?

Lu Yang could even sense the Unbeatable Nascent Soul growing restless...restless with the urge to flee.

If he had to deal with just one of them, Lu Yang felt that it might be worth fighting, though victory or defeat was a separate matter.

However, if he had to face both, Lu Yang felt that he could compete with the Unbeatable Nascent Soul to see who could flee faster.

“Little Junior Brother, what’s wrong?” Big Senior Sister asked with a slight frown, her tone the same as usual.

It was only then that Lu Yang noticed this wasn’t an empty, white space, but at Heaven’s Gate Peak of the Dao-Seeking Sect.

Right. For a complete simulation, the environment naturally has to be replicated as well.

“N-nothing.”

“Second-in-Command, why do you look so dazed? Did cultivation fry your brains?” As always, Huang Doudou was giggling and poking Lu Yang’s cheeks.

“...Immortal Fairy, I don’t think you’re in any position to say that about me.”

“Hmm? I get to challenge Lass Yun again?” The real Everlasting Immortal Fairy darted out of his mental space.

Beating a fake one still counts as a win.

She directly possessed the illusory Huang Doudou and self-detonated right away.

“Holy crap! Immortal Fairy, wait—”

Before Lu Yang could dissuade her, he saw the Everlasting Immortal Fairy self-detonate without a word.

Boom!

In the real world, the array couldn’t withstand such power and exploded outright.

Niu Qianshan raised an eyebrow. “Failed so quickly?”

The array exploding signified a failed challenge. Furthermore, with how fast it had exploded, it could only mean the “killing” had failed, and the challenger had instead been “killed.”

For a heartless person to kill the person closest to them, it was akin to an assassination. If even an assassination failed, it was clear the person had wavered, moved by compassion during the act.

“It looks like this kid is not suited for our Heartless Dao.”

~~~

Halfway through her flight, Yun Zhi’s brow furrowed slightly. “I can’t detect it anymore?”

She had sensed an image of herself appearing somewhere and was flying over to investigate. But now, halfway there, it seemed that image had dissipated, and she could no longer detect its source.

“Strange.”

~~~

Lu Yang woke up groggily, his mind still yet to recover from the aftermath of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s self-detonation.

Niu Qianshan walked up to Lu Yang and stated coldly, “You have failed. Return to wherever you came from.”

Before Lu Yang could say anything, he heard an explosion from Meng Jingzhou’s direction. His array had also shattered.

Meng Jingzhou cursed loudly, so incensed that he wanted to tear the entire base apart. “Who the hell could kill that?!”

Niu Qianshan watched Meng Jingzhou icily. Not only has he failed, but he’s also enraged—an emotion a Heartless Creed member should not possess.

“You are also not suited for our Heartless Dao. Both of you, leave.”

Those who walked different paths couldn’t make plans together; keeping them here was pointless. The Heartless Creed did not believe in making exceptions or granting special admissions.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou communicated through auditory messages.

“What do we do?”

“Leave for now. Even if we don’t leave willingly, this Niu Qianshan will probably throw us out. That seems to be the personality type in the Heartless Creed.”

“Alright.”

Watching Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou depart, Niu Qianshan summoned a subordinate at the Advanced Golden Core Stage.

“These two know the location of our base. They cannot be left alive. Go and get rid of them both; be quick and clean.”

Although Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou displayed cultivation at the Basic Foundation Establishment Stage outwardly, Niu Qianshan was always prudent. He would send the most capable person available. If not for the vice branch leader being occupied, he would have had the vice branch leader, a Basic Nascent Soul cultivator, handle it.

~~~

While leaving the Ye City Branch, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou continued to discuss the earlier trial.

“What made you take action inside the array?” Lu Yang asked curiously. With the Immortal Fairy’s help, I could regain clarity within the array and understood that killing a close person was the key to passing. Old Meng hadn’t regained clarity, so why would he attack someone close to him?

Meng Jingzhou’s face darkened. “The one who appeared in the array was you, you grandson. I simply wanted to spar with you.”

Lu Yang perked up with interest. “Oh? So, since you lost in the array, you should admit I’m stronger than you, right?”

At the mention of this topic, Meng Jingzhou’s face grew darker. “In the array, you immediately used the Big Senior Sister Animal Form Fist! How the hell was I supposed to fight that?”

The array couldn’t possibly simulate Yun Zhi stepping in, but the Animal Form Fist inherently possessed the ability to borrow a trace of power from its prototype. It was just that Lu Yang seldom used it that way.

The Lu Yang in the array borrowed a sliver of power from Yun Zhi, so Meng Jingzhou naturally found him unbeatable.

“Someone’s been following us.”

“I know. The Heartless Creed probably sent someone to kill us.”

“That works out perfectly. We can disguise ourselves as him and continue infiltrating the Heartless Creed.”

The two of them acted simultaneously, capturing the Heartless Creed member before he even had a chance to react.

“You guys are not at the Foundation Establishment Stage!” the man said coldly.

Without a word, Lu Yang stepped forward and slapped him. “Too much chatter. Stay put obediently.”

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou dragged the man to a hidden spot. Lu Yang wanted to check on how the Innate Daoist Priest was faring below.

He saw the Innate Daoist Priest still sitting in meditation on the array. Judging by his relaxed expression, he was likely immersed in it, unable to see through the array’s illusion.

“Given the Founding Ancestor’s temperament, if he doesn’t see through the array’s illusion, he’ll never pass the trial.

“Immortal Fairy, could I trouble you to intervene?”

After all, this is the Founding Ancestor’s wish. Lu Yang naturally wanted to fulfill it to the best of his ability.

“Hmph, you still have to count on this immortal, don’t you?” Since it was Lu Yang’s request, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy didn’t mind lending a small hand.

Activating a faint trace of immortal power, she made the Innate Daoist Priest wake up from the array.

~~~

At the moment, the Innate Daoist Priest was in the bamboo forest in the Dao-Seeking Sect, engaged in a pleasant conversation with the River Spirit, Little Green.

If one had to identify the closest person to him, it would naturally be Little Green, who also hailed from the Great Yu era.

Suddenly, he paused, remembering this was a trial. The Little Green before me is fake.

He sighed softly. Even if this was an illusion, he was unwilling to raise a hand against Little Green. However, he also knew that if he didn’t kill this fake Little Green, he wouldn’t be able to join the Heartless Creed.

Little Lu and Little Meng have eradicated a diabolic creed. As their senior, I can’t afford to hold them back.

Then kill I shall!

Catching the River Spirit Little Green off guard, who was also at the Basic Foundation Establishment Stage, the Innate Daoist Priest killed her.

The Innate Daoist Priest woke up to see Niu Qianshan standing before him.

Niu Qianshan patted the Innate Daoist Priest on the shoulder. “Not bad. You passed the trial so quickly. It shows that you are suited for Heartless Dao. From today, you are one of us.”

~~~

Lu Yang, who had been observing with his spiritual consciousness, exhaled in relief. This way, the Founding Ancestor has successfully infiltrated the Heartless Creed.

Just as he was about to turn and say a few words to Meng Jingzhou, he saw a group of people flying from the distance, approaching with fierce and imposing momentum. They directly uprooted the great tree that concealed the base and swarmed into the underground cavity.

Their leader announced his identity. “Nobody move! Get down on the ground, hands on your heads! I am the Chief Constable of Ye City. You are all under arrest!”

The chief constable’s gaze fell upon the Innate Daoist Priest. “New recruit? You’re under arrest too!”

~~~

Heaven’s Gate Peak.

Yun Zhi had her eyes closed, comprehending the Great Dao of heaven and earth.

Suddenly, she sensed two figures rushing toward her.

“Little Junior Brother, Junior Brother Meng, what happened?”

Lu Yang was so out of breath he could barely speak. “B-Big Senior Sister, it’s terrible! The Founding Ancestor...he joined the Heartless Creed...so he has been arrested by the authorities.”

Yun Zhi, “...”

Little Junior Brother, do you hear what you’re saying?
