Who Let Him Cultivate?!

The Eldest Senior Sister said that it was the Qingzhou government office that invited the Seek Dao Sect’s disciples to participate in the grand event. The standard was for cultiavtors under the age of 18, and since they both wanted to engage with the younger generation, they signed up for the tournament; their logic was impeccable and they couldn’t find any flaw.

But why are Lan Ting, Bai Ming, and an unfamiliar person sitting on the stage?

Are they all over 18-years-old?

When the people below the stage heard that Lu Yang was from the Seek Dao Sect, they gasped in surprise.

They did not expect that people from the Five Great Immortal Sects will participate in this grand event, a circumstance they haven’t heard of before.

“But who is Lu Yang? Have any of you heard of him?” The crowd was bewildered. The reputation of the Seek Dao Sect was well-known, but not many people knew Lu Yang.

“I’ve never heard of him, I only know about his opponent, Feng He.”

“Same for me. I heard that Feng He got on the path of immortality by absorbing energy into his body after hearing music, after his Foundation Establishment, he obtained a damaged ancient zither at an auction, which seemed to be an object possessed by a Great Power. A Tribulation Cultivator started to get greedy and attempted to snatch it. But, a early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator and two late-stage Qi Refinement Cultivators were captured by Feng He with the power of the ancient zither.”

Lu Yang’s name was not as well-known as the hot seed players.

The experiences of all those popular seed players were boosted by the sect behind them. It helped lay down their reputation, they were publicized as having come down the mountain to eliminate pests for the people, killing mountain bandits, evil spirits, and demons, or they were said to be the first place in the sect competition, and were unparalleled in the same realm. At the worst, they were propagated as born into a miserable life, their parents died early, their life was full of difficulties, they overcame numerous obstacles in their cultivation… Anyway, their publicity was all about attracting attention.

Furthermore, there are others like Lan Ting, Bai Ming, Yan Tianzhi, etc. When they were on sect missions, their actions of stamping out corruption and eliminating evil were not few, even when the local gentry, the town chief, and the County Magistrate saw them, they would be very respectful, fearing that they would use the law enforcement power of the Immortal Sects. Their deeds were also circulated among the people, and their fame was even greater than the popular seed players.

In contrast, Lu Yang, in the Foundation Establishment Stage, infiltrated the Eternity Sect, killed the Rudder Master of the Yanjiang Rudder simultaneously acting as a County Magistrate, then trapped the deputy master of the Eternity Sect in the Seek Dao Sect, and finally directly wiped out the Eternity Sect, which had a history of 14,000 years.

In the Golden Core Stage, he pretended to be an ancient genius and established Heaven’s Court, deceiving the Nine Nether Sect into temporarily giving up their intention to kill, and started a barbecue shop instead.

These matters needed to be kept secret and even if they were told no one would believe it.

“So it’s a fellow Daoist from the Seek Dao Sect, come and fight!” Feng He was full of confidence, he revealed a hearty smile, took out an ancient zither which was completely intact from his storage ring which glittered in the sunlight due to the golden strings on it.br>

His Master had someone authenticate it, this ancient zither used to belong to a Cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage. It was now back to seventy percent of its original capacity. Although it cannot exert all its power like it did in the hands of a Spirit Transformation Cultivator, this kind of magic instrument, even if only a little of its power is stimulated, it would be unmatched in the same realm.

Feng He indeed had the capital to be proud, Lu Yang had more than a dozen Junior Brothers and Sisters, who were all in the same generation as him, and were all under the age of 18.

They were also just establishing their foundations, and the fastest ones might be in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Feng He’s talent in cultivation was clearly visible.

Of course, Lu Yang’s Junior Brothers and Sisters were raised separately, whereas Feng He was carefully nurtured by his sect, they were not entirely comparable.

Facing a peer who was so confident, Lu Yang did not take it lightly and used the Invincible Elixir.

The Invincible Elixir quickly gave results.

“Just hit however you want.”

Ding——

The bell-like sound of the ancient zither echoed in the air, its voice was as strong as a dragon and as fierce as a tiger. Golden light began to vibrate; a strong sound wave was emitted towards Lu Yang. In a flash, the music from the ancient zither was like a white serpent drawing a precise arc in the air; the sound wave carried a fiery breath and power with it, overflowing with murderous aura.

Feng He made the first move, filled the ancient zither with his magic power, and took the lead in the battle.

No matter whether Lu Yang hard-resisted this offensive or attempted to dodge it, Feng He had already calculated his next move.

A fight, it has to be filled with calculations!

“Sound wave incarnation! He’s already learned this technique just after his Foundation Establishment?” A Cultivator with extraordinary insight exclaimed. Many Cultivators who researched music spent decades to master this technique, and yet it was mastered by a newcomer like Feng He.

“I heard that Feng He defeated an old Foundation Establishment Cultivator using this method!”

“At that time, the zither was still damaged, and now that it’s been repaired, its power will only be stronger!”

“He is using his trump card right at the start!”

“Can Lu Yang from the Seek Dao Sect withstand this move?”

Lu Yang, faced with the sound wave incarnation, did not slack in the slightest, he put in his best effort and swung his right hand sharply downwards, directly breaking off the ghastly sound wave.

He took a step forward and extended his index finger, and the invisible Sword Qi was launched. Feng He could not react to this move. The magic instrument protected him automatically, blocking him from the front.

The Sword Qi was sharp and heavy; it hit the ancient zither, causing shock to Feng He’s organs. Feng He, clutching the ancient zither, was thrown off the stage.

The Cultivators below the stage were quiet for a moment, after which they burst into a discussion that made one’s scalp tingle.

“Did you see that move just now? Was it Sword Qi? It’s my first time seeing Sword Qi!”

“He broke the sound wave with one slap, and defeated Feng He with one move, this Lu Yang is so strong!”

“What realm is he in?!”

Lan Ting on the judges’ seat was silent for a long time.

She thought it was a pretty simple task when she accepted the Commission from the State Shepherd. It was nothing more than small fights by Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and evaluating their pros and cons was not difficult.

However, the turn of events at present was something she did not anticipate.

How should she put it? Should she praise Lu Yang for defeating the seed player Feng He with his Golden Core Stage Cultivation Level?

She just couldn’t say it.

She could praise Feng He’s sound wave attack, as it shows his talent in music, and that he would undoubtedly become a great talent in the future.

However, Feng He’s impressive sound wave was dispersed by Lu Yang with a single slap.

She turned to look at Bai Ming and Yan Tianzhi. Bai Ming was silent as if he had temporarily gone blind and could not see the situation on the stage, Yan Tianzhi said a word, “good.”

Good? What is good? Is he praising how Lu Yang skillfully executed the Sword Qi? It did not harm Feng He, but knocked him off the field. The control of power has reached the pinnacle.

Just as Lan Ting was puzzled, she heard Yan Tianzhi spit out three more words: “Such shamelessness.”

Lan Ting:”…”

It seems that she could not count on these two.

She took a long breath and commented after racking her brains, “Feng He’s sound wave attack just now was unexpected, he is worthy of being known as a musical genius. Other seed players, even if they could block it, would have suffered a great loss of vital energy and fall into fatigue.”

“Unfortunately, this time Feng He’s opponent is Lu Yang. Lu Yang is a sword cultivator, he is dedicated to swordsmanship with no distractions, pursuing the highest level of Swordsmanship. This invisible Sword Qi contains the world in its essence, and its influence demonstrates his accomplishments in Swordsmanship!”

“Of course, all of the above were not the key factors in Lu Yang’s victory. The most crucial point is, Lu Yang is at the Golden Core Stage.”
